City seeks legal advice on bid, votes may change Laura Mueller

News - Councillors once again said they were holding their noses as they voted on July 9 to make the Rideau-Carleton Raceway the city’s only option for a new casino site.

But the final vote at city council on July 17 might see a different result, depending on additional legal information the city solicitor will bring to the meeting after representatives from the Ottawa Senators and Canadian Tire Centre blasted the city for what they say is a faulty and possibly illegal process of choosing where to put a new gambling facility.

While council voted in principle last fall to support a new casino, Watson said changes in leadership at Queen’s Park and the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation opened an opportunity for the city to specify where it wants a casino, and he now thinks the facility should be at the Rideau-Carleton Raceway.

Without it, the raceway and the approximately 1,000 jobs provided by the south Ottawa business would be no more, Watson said.

“This is the only way to protect slots at the raceway,” he said.

But critics of the move blasted the city for going down a road of sole-sourcing the bid for a new casino.

Lawn Problems?

News —You can reach your health resolution goals if you have your eyes wide open, and arm yourself with some key pieces of knowledge.

From Chris Laperle, GoodLife Fitness’personal training regional manager with Alberta GoodLife Fitness, here are some proven tips to help you get there: • Seek small victories: Break your goal down into small goals you know you can do. If you’re busy, and are booking workouts twice a day, everyday, there’s a greater chance you’ll fail. Instead, check your schedule, start small and grow from there.

• Gather support: Tell the club receptionist that you’re proud of yourself for getting to the gym for the second time this week.

Share your workout goal and schedule with coworkers so they don’t book conflicting appointments.

Hire a personal trainer to increase your chances of success by 80 percent. Tell your friends and group exercise instructor about your resolution, and update them on your progress and challenges.

• Drink more water, eat a little less: If you try to cut out entire food groups or survive on celery and water alone, you will fail.

So try eating a little less.

When out, eat slowly, savour the flavours, and take half home for lunch the next day.

Your metabolism slows down after seven in the evening, so aim to finish supper before that to burn more calories than you would store as fat.

Studies show that drinking 500ml of water 30 minutes before a meal reduces your hunger so you eat less at the meal.

City hopes to curb speeding on Kanata streets Halton, McCurdy and Steeple Chase part of pilot project Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

News - The city is hoping a traffic calming pilot project will help curb speeding near schools and parks on three streets in Kanata.

The city’s road safety staff is introducing flexible, plastic speed limit signs, which will be installed down the middle of Halton Terrace in north Kanata, and McCurdy and Steeple

Chase drives in south Kanata, from July to mid-November.

“I’m glad that they’re doing this because anything we can do to make our streets safer is a good thing to do,” said Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson, adding “It’s a fairly inexpensive way and it can (be done) very quickly.”

Halton Terrace was selected to be one of 12 streets across the city for the pilot project because it has two schools, Jack Donohue Public School and Kanata French elementary public school.

“It’s had a lot of problems with traffic,” said Wilkinson, adding other streets she recommended in her ward include Klondike Road and Knudson and Shirley’s Brook drives. “I have a lot of streets that have a lot of prob-

lems … The ones that are the most concern with me are the ones with schools on them or where children have to cross them to get to schools.”

Halton Terrace, which is a 40 kilometres an hour zone, has had many complaints from residents about speeding, said Wilkinson. “(People speed) an average of 50 to 55 km and many people are going much faster than that,” she said.

“When they’re going over 80 km, I get really worried about the kids.”

McCurdy and Steeple Chase see a fair amount of speeding as well, said Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley.

“We took two locations that we often get comments about cars going above the speed limit,” he said. “This is the latest tool that reports say can be effective and traffic calming.”

Another pilot project – moveable speed bumps – was used on Equestrian Drive in Hubley’s ward last summer. He said they worked as a traffic calming measure when they were in place, but as soon as they were removed, people began speeding again.

“I like to try the different ideas to see what we can use here before we invest in them,” he said.

Schools and parks are located on both McCurdy and Steeple Chase.

Hubley said people will be out monitoring how effective the road signs are.

“I’m hoping this may be an effective tool to help us deal with speeding in the community,” said Hubley.

“We’ll see what happens.”

The signs are 1.2 metres high by 32.4 centimetres wide and spaced about 100-metres apart. Speed limits on the 12 pilot project streets will remain as they are, said Phil Landry, manager for traffic management and operational support with the city.

Speed limits where the traffic calming signs are to be located will remain the same. The traffic calming signs which state 30 km/h is only an advisory to motorists that they should travel at that speed along that particular stretch of road, said Landry. The

SABINE GIBBONS /METROLAND

George Brown says he is pleased to see the city initiate a traffic calming pilot project on a portion of Springland Drive in Mooney’s Bay. Three Kanata streets – Halton Terrace, and McCurdy and Steeple Chase drives – will have signs installed throughout July. posted speed limit on Halton Terrace, McCurdy Drive and Steeple Chase Drive is 40km/h.

PARTICIPATING STREETS

The traffic calming project has been used in other cities, such as Montreal, and effectively decreased the speed of motorists, said the city in a release.

Each participating street has one or more playgrounds, schools or seniors housing nearby.

The other nine streets that are part

of the pilot project include: • Springland Drive • Church Street • Forest Valley Drive • Grenon Avenue • Grey Nuns Drive • Kittiwake Drive • Montfort Street • Trappers Road • Woodfield Drive Springland Drive, in Mooney’s Bay, was the first street to have the traffic calming measure installed.

Rotarian aims to reach goal for food cupboard Past-president has one month to lose 16 pounds, raise $3,000 News - Steve Sharlow, the past-president of the NepeanKanata Rotary Club, has just over a month to lose 16 pounds and raise $3,000.

Last summer, the Rotarian pledged to raise $10,000 for the Kanata Food Cupboard and lose 100 pounds by Aug. 22, 2013. When he began his mission, Sharlow weighed in at 302 pounds. With just over a month to go, he’s down to 218.

“I started off with a 54 (inch) pant,” said Sharlow. “Now I’m down to 42.”

Seeing the rising number of families using the food cupboard drove Sharlow to choose the non-profit as his pledge recipient. In 2012, the Kanata Food Cupboard helped more than 2,500 families, up from 1,670 in 2011. While usage climbed last year, donations declined.

Being overweight is a food problem, but there are many

people who have difficulty buying the basics, said Sharlow in an initial interview.

“We got to know a little bit about their plight,” said Sharlow, who lives in Country Club Village with his wife, Karen. “It’d be nice to roll in at $10,000.”

So far, Sharlow has raised $7,000. Many pledges have come in dollar for pound lost, from as far away as Australia, he said.

“It’s never easy but you don’t ever backslide because people are watching,” he said. “I’ve been very disciplined.”

Walking every day and cutting out certain foods, such as processed sugars, has helped Sharlow lose weight, he said, adding his family doctor has been monitoring his health.

“I try to do about 10,000 steps a day,” he said. “If it’s thunder and lightning, I go to a mall.”

He said he’s noticed that doing daily chores is easier and that walking up and down stairs, and even his sleeping, has improved.

“You get a little joy out of the fact you’re feeling better,” he said.

A final weigh-in will be held on August 22. To donate to Sharlow’s challenge, visit nepeankanatarotary.com/steve.

Police charge male for thefts from vehicles Almost 150 incidents reported in Kanata and Stittsville in one month Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

News - Ottawa police have charged a 21-year-old male for recent thefts from vehicles in Kanata and Stittsville.

Police announced they had arrested the young man, an Ottawa resident with no fixed address, in relation to the thefts on July 8.

He was arrested on July 5 and faces 14 criminal charges, including: four counts of breach of probation; three counts of theft under $5,000; three counts of loitering/prowling at night on another person’s property; theft of a credit card, possession and use of a stolen credit card; and two counts of possession of stolen property.

“Given that crimes of opportunity are a continuing concern … the Ottawa police continues to urge residents

to remove valuables and lock parked vehicles,” said west district Inspector Michael Rice in a news release.

The male has been remanded into custody, said police.

150 THEFTS REPORTED

Police released an advisory on July 4 urging residents to protect their property, after almost 150 thefts from vehicles had been reported in the west end.

Since June 1, approximately 100 incidents were filed in south Kanata, primarily in Bridlewood, Katimavik and Glen Cairn; 27 reports were in north Kanata, in the Morgan’s Grant and Shirley’s Brook communities; and 22 thefts from vehicles took place in Stittsville’s Fairwinds and Bryanston Gate areas.

“A number of individuals are believed responsible, emphasizing the

need for residents to take preventative measures to safeguard their own property as the most effective approach given the ease and speed of these offences,” said Rice.

The police offered the following tips: • Don’t leave personal identification, vehicle registration, insurance certificates or credit cards in vehicles.

• Remove valuables and shopping bags from view. This includes loose change and electronic devices.

• Never leave vehicles running and unattended.

• Always close windows securely and lock the doors.

• Never leave car keys, house keys, or garage door openers in vehicles.

• Park in well-lit areas.

• Park vehicles facing the street.

• Consider motion detector lights on the outside of your house.

Anyone with information regarding these incidents, or to report thefts from vehicles, is asked to contact Ottawa police at 613-236-1222, ext.

7300, or Crime Stoppers at 613-2338477.

Byelections only delay inevitable

B

yelections are traditionally an opportunity for voters to protest public policy and punish the government.

But Premier Kathleen Wynne has taken it one step further by scheduling five byelections on Aug. 1 – a couple days before the start of a long weekend – and in effect punishing the voters, by staging a vote during the dead of summer. The byelections were triggered by the resignations of five Liberals, including former premier Dalton McGuinty, long-time MPP of Ottawa South.

The scheduling of the byelections is a little suspicious – is the government hoping to escape the lash of the voter by staging them during a time that will attract the minimum number of people?

We’re not talking about the dyed-in-wool Liberal/ Conservatives/NDP supporters, the kind who would cast their ballots in the middle of a hurricane.

No, the timing of the summer byelection is aimed squarely at the balance of the electorate: the undecideds, the swing vote and, of course, the cottage country enthusiasts.

In a perfect world, every Ontarian would take it as their duty to vote in every election, be they federal, provincial or municipal.

But we don’t live in a perfect world, and we

only need to look at the dismal turnout for the last provincial election to prove that.

A byelection figures to attract a remarkably smaller crowd. When scheduling an election, a government should endeavour to hold it during a time period designed to attract the most people possible.

Unfortunately, this is a truism that only holds if the government actually wants people to vote.

In fact, Premier Kathleen Wynne wants to avoid an election – byelection or general – for as long as humanly possible.

For the few months she’s been in power, the fledgling premier has been bailing water for the Good Ship Liberal, cleaning up the mess left behind

by Dalton McGuinty, who resigned shortly before the government was hammered with scandals, such as the gas plant fiasco and a police investigation of the Ornge air ambulance service. Meanwhile, the electorate waits with baited and steaming breath, looking to wreak vengeance on the Liberals by cleaning house in the next general election.

While we commend the political acumen of our premier, she might want to consider simply biting the bullet and holding a general election – not during a civic holiday – as soon as possible.

To do otherwise is just delaying the inevitable.

Coming soon to a corner store near you – or not

T

here was some excitement in the newspapers recently over the possibility of beer and wine being sold in corner stores in Ontario. This is always a big story whenever it reappears, as it always does.

A good guess is that it is a big story because beer and wine are important to journalists, the people who make the decisions about what’s a big story. It’s not important because journalists like beer and wine more than the next fellow does. It’s important because journalists think it should be more important.

There’s a self-image thing at work here.

Newspaper people have long had the reputation of being hard drinkers. For some reason they like that reputation, even though it has long ceased to be deserved. Once it certainly was, but these days, if you go out to lunch with five newspaper guys, the heavy drinker will be the one ordering Perrier while the others all have tap water.

Anyway, beer in the corner store becomes a big story, just like the ones that say wine is good for your heart. Wishful thinking is what it is and journalists are just as capable of it as anyone else.

This year’s version of the big story carried the headline “Sousa won’t rule out store

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town alcohol sales.� This is a bit of a tipoff that beer and wine in corner grocery stores isn’t much closer than it ever was. When a politician is asked a question and won’t answer definitely one way or another, the journalist’s last resort is to ask: “Would you rule it out?�

Very few politicians dare to rule anything out completely, because they need to leave room to change their minds. So they say no, they wouldn’t rule it out, and you get a headline like that.

Charles Sousa, the finance minister of Ontario, told reporters that there are no plans to change the structure of the Liquor Control Board of Ontario. His predecessor as finance minister turned down a request only a year ago to allow convenience stores to sell beer and wine. But then -- “asked repeatedly

Wednesday whether he’d allow convenience stores to sell booze, Sousa wouldn’t rule it out.�

He wouldn’t rule it in either, despite being asked repeatedly, and probably for good reason. No one has come up with much in the way of justification for making the change.

Customers aren’t suffering from the current system. In all but the most remote areas, no one is very far away from a Beer Store or an LCBO. The main impetus for the current discussion is the Mac’s convenience store chain, which says it will create jobs.

It might also create trouble, which is probably why previous Ontario governments haven’t ruled the idea in. It is difficult enough now to keep booze out of the hands of underage drinkers and those who have had more than enough in an evening. Putting the corner store into the picture is going to increase the difficulty.

Sure, the idea of creating jobs is nice, but the people in those jobs will have an unfair burden placed upon them. While employees for the LCBO and the Beer Store are wellpaid and well-trained to handle difficult situations, is it fair or realistic to ask the same of a convenience store employee, often working alone late at night?

If some greater good was involved, maybe that would be worth the risk, but it is difficult to see where the greater good is. Shorter distances, longer hours? Certainly Charles Sousa’s predecessors have had difficulty seeing it. They might even think that Ontario has more urgent priorities, even if wine really is good for your heart.

The only remaining question is why, given all this, Sousa is not more unequivocal on the subject. It may just be that he understands his role in the press conference games journalists play.

I wouldn’t rule that out.

Nature: the least important most important thing

A

BRYNNA LESLIE

City of Ottawa

News - The OC Transpo summer schedule is now in effect.

The new schedule includes several changes, including weekend service to local museums and realignment of the Transitway between Campus and Laurier stations for construction of the Confederation Line Light Rail.

New schedules will reflect the lower demand for service during the summer vacation period.

School routes will be suspended until the fall,

and there will be minor schedule reductions on mainline and peak period routes.

New schedules are available at OC Transpo sales centres, by calling 613-741-4390, and at octranspo.com.

The next scheduled service change will take place on Sept. 1.

For automated bus arrival information, customers can call 613-560-1000, or text 560560, plus their four-digit bus stop number.

For more information and travel planning, visit octranspo.com or call 613-741-4390.

Capital Muse the integral role of nature to the people that live in the surrounding neighbourhoods.

Instead, the NCC continued to fork over millions of taxpayer dollars to an outside consulting firm, with the Kettle Island proposal predetermined as the best option.

Unfortunately, as with so many things in modern society, the primary reason Kettle Island has been the favourite is because it was predicted to be the least expensive option.

But that argument only holds if we only think about value in terms of money.

What if we actually took the time to consider the value of the natural environment?

The trees and wildlife east of downtown and bordering the Ottawa River are not merely nice to look at.

They are essential to the emotional, intellectual and physical well-being of city residents. This is especially true as we collectively face the challenge of maintaining and altering a city that will accommodate our aging population. Mayor Jim Watson is devoting a lot of his personal energy these days to the examination of a city that will be senior-friendly.

An aging population means

health care costs are set to increase.

It means that seniorfriendly housing needs to be top of mind for developers.

It means that any transit plan put in place will have to be accessible for people with varying disabilities.

All these things are important. Also important is to have a city where not just seniors but all residents can have easy access to the natural environment.

There are a vast number of studies that link human connection with nature to everything good: people that have parks nearby are more likely to actively commute, have lower blood pressure, lower BMI, fewer health issues overall and better overall mental health. Even those with mental health issues -- depression, attention deficit disorder and stress -- have found that regular interaction with nature mitigates symptoms.

As the city and province go forward, as proposed by Murray, to create a master transit plan, we can only hope that nature is considered, at minimum as the least important most important thing.

nyone who has watched Mad Men religiously for six seasons, as I have, will remember Don Draper’s classic line: “We’re creative, the least important most important thing there is.”

I was meditating on this line during my morning run on the Rockcliffe Parkway and it occurred to me that, in a different context, “the least important most important thing” to humans is our natural environment.

Last month, the Ontario government officially killed the plan in its current form to construct an interprovincial bridge at Kettle Island.

I’m sure the cheers in my neighbourhood were heard across the city when the news broke.

At the announcement, held in front of the Montfort Hospital on June 17, Transportation Minister Glenn Murray cited the interruption to ambulance traffic as one of the primary reasons for the province’s rejection of the Kettle Island plan.

That’s often been on the lengthy list of arguments against the bridge proposal.

But top of mind for residents and the politicians that represent them has been the impact a bridge would have on the natural environment bordering the Aviation and Rockcliffe Parkways.

Despite this, for years, the National Capital Commission has undervalued the impact of the bridge on sensitive ecosystems in the area. More importantly, it has ignored

The forum featured Kent Van Dyk, a local high school teacher, whose work as a chef has been featured on the Food Network’s television show Eat St. “Improving healthy eating and active living in Ottawa – through improved active transportation, better access to healthy foods and more supportive

environments to help make the healthy choice the easy choice – has been a significant priority for the Board of Health over the course of our term.,” said Councillor Holmes. “By bringing together various levels of government, grassroots initiatives and residents, we are setting the stage for real changes to make Ottawa a healthier city.”

Local champions also shared their creative healthy eating and active living ‘recipes for success’ including starting a workplace running club and setting up a community kitchen.

Some of the inspirational initiatives, organizations and businesses that were profiled at the forum included Causeway Right Bike, Boomerang Kids Strollercise, West Carleton Country Kitchen, Hidden Harvest, Ottawa Walking/Running Program at Canadian Air Transport Security Authority, Ottawa Citizens Corporation Rooftop Gardens, Brewer Park Community Garden Biodome and Stone Soup Food Works.

Hubley says ‘no’ to complete streets in Kanata South Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley cemented his reputation as council’s most vocal opponent of bike lanes by voting against two bicyclelane projects on July 5.

Hubley said he took issue with the “social engineering” of removing vehicle travel lanes on Main Street in Old Ottawa East in favour of a traffic-calmed street featuring cycling lane “tracks” raised to the same level as the sidewalk.

The plan, which the transportation committee approved on July 5, would create a slightly longer commute for approximately 300 motorists using that route to get downtown from the city’s south end in the morning rush period.

“I do not support the idea of taking away traffic lanes for vehicles in order to replace them with segregated bike lanes,” Hubley wrote in his most recent newspaper column.

At the July 5 transportation committee, Hubley said that the national household survey indicates 93 per cent

of respondents across Canada say they use their car to commute. He said Ottawa needs to “ensure we’re not designing all our streets in a way that chokes off traffic and the ability to transport people and goods.”

I do not support the idea of taking away traffic lanes for vehicles in order to replace them with segregated bike lanes.

ALLAN HUBLEY KANATA SOUTH COUN.

Kanata South is well-designed with a network of multi-use pathways behind homes, which Hubley said are safer because they separate cyclists from other vehicles.

“This is why I will never support a ‘complete street’ in Kanata South,” he wrote in his column.

Deputy city manager Nancy Schepers said converting a road into a complete street is “not an approach that will frankly work everywhere,” but it will work on Main Street.

Hubley said his understanding of what makes a “complete street” is a road where four lanes are reduced to two lanes by adding bicycle lanes and wider sidewalks.

But during the transportation committee meeting, councillors and staff discussed the need to better define what the term “complete streets” means and potentially include that definition in the city’s transportation plans.

Another councillor, GloucesterSouthgate Coun. Diane Deans, opposed the Main Street plans not only because of the impact on her southend residents, but also because the city lacks a definition of “complete streets” – something Deans said she supports in principle.

Hubley said his views are at odds with his colleague to the north, Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson, who spoke in favour of complete streets during the meeting. Wilkinson,

utes longer than they do now.

Hubley also worried that putting cycling tracks at the same level as the sidewalk instead of a lane on the road would lead to more cyclists colliding into pedestrians. The cycle track format is a new type of bicycle lane for Ottawa.

Tracks are being installed as part of the rebuild of Churchill Avenue and a portion of the city’s first segregated bike lane on Laurier Avenue West in Centretown is also set to be converted to a cycle track (Hubley also voted against that on July 5).

“Are we going to see an increase in bikes nailing children as they walk down the sidewalk?” he asked city staff during the meeting.

the former chairwoman of the city’s transportation committee, said the redesign of the street is about more than just commuters.

“This street is pedestrian-hostile,” she said. The neighbourhood and local businesses stand to benefit by making Main Street a destination and encouraging people to spend more time on the street.

Wilkinson said changing the configuration on Main Street doesn’t mean people can’t drive there; it just means it might take them a bit longer to use that route.

The city’s traffic engineers say the 300 drivers that could be affected during morning rush hour would have to sit in traffic for about three to five min-

Serious housing crisis in Ottawa: Reverend Continued from page 14

“There is a very serious (housing) crisis,” said Rev. J. Hugh O’Donnell, a deacon at St. Isidore Roman Catholic Parish. “We are addressing the needs here.”

Fifteen-hundred children have lived in these shelters for an average of 88 days ... We’re trying to help our people in need here in Ottawa.

REV. J. HUGH O’DONNELL

Multifaith is made up of people of various beliefs and religions in Ottawa and helps people “who are homeless or at risk of homelessness by providing and promoting well maintained, affordable, rental housing in a safe and neighbourly environment,” according to its website.

Currently, Multifaith has three properties with a total of 41 units in Ottawa: Blake House in Vanier, Kent House in Centretown, and Somerset Gardens downtown.

O’Donnell said the city needs 100 to 150 low-cost units in Ottawa to address the housing needs of the homeless or those at risk of homelessness.

In Ottawa, an average of 1,200 people spends the night in a shelter. Of that, 260 are families, said O’Donnell, a Carp resident.

“Fifteen-hundred children have lived in these shelters for an average of 88 days,” he added. “We’re trying to help our people in need here in Ottawa.”

Knights of Columbus golf tournament treasurer Stephen Dulude said part of the Knights’ mission is to give back. The council donated more than $21,000 to various local charities.

“It’s part of our community outreach; contribute back to the community,” said the Bridlewood resident.

HOWʼS THIS FOR STARTERS? Towns from $199,000 Bungalow towns from $222,900 Singles from $269,900 Hardwood and 9ʼ ceiling on mainfloor Only 20 minutes from Kanata

BLAIR EDWARDS/METROLAND

A report prepared by a city consultant offered two alternatives for beefing up stormwater management capacity in the Shirley’s Brook and Watt’s Creek Area – by either diverting flows or increasing capacity – during an open house meeting held at the Mlacak Centre on June 27.

Report eases flooding fears for land north of Beaver Pond Blair Edwards

partnership between Richcraft and Urbandale, which plans to build hundreds of homes north of the Beaver Pond.

Work on the residential housing project was put on hold after concerns were raised following completion of the first phase of the study over the area’s stormwater management capacity.

Mary Jarvis, a director of planning for Urbandale, said she was encouraged by the results of the second phase and that the company is now moving ahead with the project’s engineering design.

Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson said with the Beaver Pond already over capacity, any new stormwater ponds will become part of the 40 per cent environmental lands marked for preservation.

News - Fears over the potential risk of flooding on land near the Beaver Pond were eased by a recent city report.

The city held an open house at the Mlacak Centre on June 27, to discuss data from the second phase of the stormwater management study of the Shirley’s Brook and Watt’s Creek area, a meeting attended by dozens of Kanata residents.

The report, prepared by AECOM, a consulting firm hired by the city, shows peak flows and runoff volumes in the Kizell Wetland and Beaver Pond area are much lower than estimates in the first phase of the study, released in 2011.

But projected stormwater flows could still exceed capacity by 10 centimetres, according to the report.

The report offered alternatives for beefing up the area’s stormwater management system to KNL Developments, a

NEW DATA

The consultant collected data by monitoring water levels and stream flows after rainfalls in

sections of the Shirley’s Brook watershed and Kizell Drain/ Watt’s Creek subwatershed.

“We got real world data to make our model closer to reality,” said Darlene Conway, a senior project manager with the City of Ottawa. “The water levels didn’t get as high as in phase 1.”

But the water flows were still 10 centimetres higher than the target set for a once in a century storm, said Conway.

Several residents at the meeting criticized the city for not using a more stringent standard for a 100-year-storm event -- especially considering the city has experienced storms exceeding the value three times over the past two decades.

“We don’t use a 500-year (model) because if we did you wouldn’t be able to afford a house,” said Conway, referring to the additional construction costs necessary to protect houses from extreme storms.

Projected flows for 100-year-storm still exceed capacity Continued from page 16

The city already demands homebuilders exceed the safety margin by 30 centimetres, Conway said.

The Beaver Pond area has a maximum storage volume of 236,696 cubic metres at an elevation of 92.6 metres, according to the AECOM study.

AECOM’s first report showed capacity could be exceeded by 25 centimetres in the event of a once-in-a-century storm.

The first phase of the study also showed the upstream Kizell area has a maximum 100year capacity of 89,825 cubic metres with an elevation of 94.28 metres.

Results of the study showed: • Calibrated peak flows and

runoff volumes for the Kizell wetland and Beaver Pond were lower than Phase 1 estimates.

• The 100-year water level and peak outflow from Beaver Pond still exceeds the targeted values needed for the Ministry of the Environment’s certificate of approval.

• Updated 100-year flood lines and identified spill areas are consistent with previous Mississippi Valley Conservation Area flood risk mapping.

• A flood sensitive reach was identified on Shirley’s Brook between Shirley’s Brook Drive and Terry Fox Drive.

The study also showed the hydraulic capacity of five road crossings didn’t meet the city’s criteria for overtopping.

The areas are: • Legget Drive on Kizell Drain

• Goulbourn Forced Road between the Kizell Wetland and Beaver Pond • Goulbourn Forced Road, March Valley Road and the DND crossing downstream of March Valley on Shirley’s Brook.

The report stated that erosion of banks along the watercourse of Shirley’s Brook and Kizell Drain weren’t excessive, but identified several bank erosion sites threatening property and infrastructure, including six locations on Shirley’s Brook, 10 locations on Watt’s Creek, upstream of the Kizell Drain area and six locations on Watt’s Creek, downsteam of the Kizell Drain area.

The report also identified the potential impact of stormwater management improvements – by either diverting runoff

The report identified the potential impact of stormwater management improvements on endangered species, specifically the Blanding turtles. or increasing the capacity of stormwater ponds – on endangered species, specifically the Blanding turtles.

“If they’re constructing new ponds, it’s possible there are turtles there,” said Nick Stow, a

senior planner on land use and natural systems.

The developer will have to show how it plans to mitigate the effects of stormwater management improvements on endangered species in the area.

While the Endangered Species Act came into effect on July 1, the wildlife in the Beaver Pond area do not receive the full protection under the legislation, as plans for the development were introduced prior to the Act and are in an advanced stage of planning.

Over the next few months, the city will continue to recalibrate its hydrologic model based data collected monitoring streamflow and rainfall, before completing its phase 2 report.

Using the city’s data, KNL Developments will prepare a stormwater management plan addressing concerns raised in the AECOM report.

Going hungry was always one of Mary’s fears

T

he sauerkraut barrel was just about empty in the summer kitchen.

It has served us well since the early fall when the whole family spent many evenings shredding cabbage to fill it to the brim.

The salt pork barrel was empty too and had been thoroughly washed and set out on the back stoop to dry in the sun.

The smallest of the three barrels had long since given up the last pickled herring.

Even the vegetables in the root cellar were getting scarce.

Now what were we to do, I wondered? Would we starve, just like the starving Armenians Mother talked about all the time? It would be many weeks before we would have carrots and potatoes from the garden. Now I had something else to worry about.

Back then, it seemed, I could find many issues to send me into a state of anxiousness. Mother said I was born with furrows in my brow, whatever that meant.

Worrying if we had enough

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories food to keep us alive was constantly on my mind this time of year.

I took my concerns to my sister Audrey. She always seemed to have an answer for everything. At first she laughed out loud when I asked her if we were about to starve since all the barrels that once held our daily sustenance were empty. Then she saw that I was sincerely worried and she took me to the old swing in the grape arbour to give me a long talk on how I was worried for nothing.

At that very moment, she pointed out, wasn’t our bake table full of freshly baked bread? Weren’t there enough loaves there to last us most of the week when Mother would again bake up another batch? So there would al-

ways be sandwiches, always bread pudding for dessert.

And in the smoke house, wasn’t there slabs of backbacon, roasts of pork and sausage links, enough to feed half of Renfrew County?

“Stop worrying, Mary,” she said. “We won’t starve.”

Of course, my wiser sister Audrey was quite right.

Soon there were sprigs of new lettuce showing in the garden, enough to take to the dinner table and for lettuce sandwiches, which I loved with a passion. Fresh lettuce with a spattering of sugar and vinegar between two slices of buttered freshly baked bread -- now that was a treat!

Then Audrey took me down into the dugout under the house. I had told her the last time I had gone down with the dish pan to bring

glass bowls. Our hen house full of hens provided us with enough eggs for our own use with lots left over for Mother to peddle in Renfrew every Saturday morning. We could expect a chicken dinner every Sunday. Mother, long before we would set out for church, would have stuffed at least two fat birds and put them in the Findlay Oval oven.

Now what were we to do, I wondered?

Would we starve, just like the starving Armenians Mother talked about all the time?

If there weren’t enough vegetables in the sand bin to tuck around the chickens, we made do with bowls of pickled beans or canned tomatoes from the cellar.

Although Father never considered it a meal, Mother

had what we all called her “everything goes into it” pot of soup simmering just about constantly on the back of the stove.

Hulls of vegetables, anything left over from the dinner table, scraps of meat, leftover gravy, whatever she could find went into the soup-pot.

Father, most nights, when he wasn’t too tired from dawn to dusk working in the fields, would sit down just before he fell into bed and with a couple pieces of homemade bread sponging up the soup, ate heartily of what he called “a wee bite before turning in.”

No, on thinking about it, I worried for nothing.

We wouldn’t starve on the farm just because the barrels were empty.

Food was all around us, and there was always Briscoe’s General Store, where we could stop for maple cookies, a couple slices of bologna and the basics like flour, tea and sugar. All we had to do was ask for it and tell Mr. Briscoe, “just put it on our bill, please.”

up vegetables for supper, I had to dig away in the sand before I found a carrot.

Audrey pointed to the shelves down there that for generations held preserves and pickles. There on those shelves were enough glass jars, full of beans in brine, onions hanging in mesh bags and sealer after sealer of preserved raspberries, crab apples and wild blueberries.

“Now do you think we are starving?”

Audrey asked.

Of course my much older and much wiser sister was right. Just because the barrels in the kitchen were empty there was still food aplenty to last us until the garden was ready. I could put my worries aside. I recalled what my father always said when he was discussing the issues of the day: “It’s a poor farmer indeed, who can’t keep food on the table to feed his family.”

Although not my favourite, we had as much milk to drink as we wanted.

There was always a big jug of fresh milk in the ice box and newly churned butter in

News - Bad habits tend to accumulate like drops in a bucket.

They are the little things we do daily that add up and ultimately impact our overall health and wellbeing.

To reveal bad habits that are common today, and how to turn them around to make positive changes in our lives, Dr. Janet Tamo, a consulting dentist for Crest and Oral-B, plus fitness expert, Kathleen Trotter, met recently to share their thoughts.

“Inactivity throughout the day is one of the habits I see most often,” said Trotter. “Many people drive to work, search for the closest parking spot to the entrance door or sit in front of the TV for hours after sitting behind a desk all day. There are so many quick and easy ways to integrate activity into your day without sacrificing valuable time with family and friends.”

Trotter recommends integrating exercise into your routine with these examples: • Bike to work instead of driving.

• If it’s safe to do so, park at the end of the parking lot and walk.

• Opt to take the stairs instead of the elevator.

If it’s too much, get off the elevator early and walk at least one flight.

• Do some resistance exercises with an exercise band or exercise ball while watching TV. • Schedule and commit to weekly walking dates with your family or a friend.

Dr. Tamo echoes this advice when discussing oral health habits with her patients.

“There are a lot of factors that contribute to having a healthy body, including exercising and eating right, but many people don’t realize that taking care of their teeth and gums can be just as important,” she said. “Some of my patients are physically fit, but struggle with dental plaque buildup, which may lead to more serious oral

People can make positive changes in their lives by adopting new habits such as biking to work. health issues if left untreated. The first line of defense I recommend is regular cleanings at the dentist, and in between visits, to use products that reduce and control plaque.”

The effects of bad habits can accumulate and have a negative impact on your overall health over time. By choosing to make healthier choices every day, you can feel better about your health – and have something extra to smile about.

Melnyk pleads for chance to submit Kanata casino bid

Laura Mueller/Metroland

Ottawa Senators owner Eugene Melnyk speaks to reporters during a July 9 meeting of the city’s finance and economic development committee. Melnyk wanted councillors to vote against Mayor Jim Watson’s motion that would force a new casino to be built at the Rideau Carleton Raceway, adding the city should include all location possibilities, including Canadian Tire Centre. firm that defended the Lansdowne redevelopment contract indicated the city is allowed to specify a location. But O’Connor said he would like to look at the matter in more

depth, given the “aggressive” nature of comments from delegates like Webber.

Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans said the goal of saving R0012199505

While Watson contends that any hopeful casino operator could submit a bid and then operate a casino at the raceway, critics said in a practical sense, the location and business operations must be linked.

Senators owner Eugene Melnyk spoke to the committee at length, pleading for an equal chance to submit his bid for a casino at the Canadian Tire Centre in Kanata.

“I’m not asking for a handout. I’m asking for a shot – a shot to make money so I can do this,” he said, referring to running his hockey team despite financial losses.

The Senators operate at a great financial loss and a casino could help prop up the business, Melnyk said.

But he brushed off the suggestion that he was threatening to take the team elsewhere if he didn’t get the chance to bid to build a casino.

“I’ve been doing this for 10 years.

Why stop now?” Melnyk said. “I still love this city.”

City solicitor Rick O’Connor agreed to get additional legal advice from third-party lawyers after the mayor and council received a tongue lashing from Capital Sports and Entertainment lawyer Paul Webber. He called Watson’s motion “unlawful” and “morally and ethically” unsound.

“You are bonusing a business. I don’t know how I can be more clear than that,” Webber said. “Not only does it not pass the smell test, it’s not legal.”

O’Connor said that’s not true – legal advice from an arms-length

the raceway and the jobs it provides is laudable, but the city should have more information before it makes moves to save one business at the expense of another, such as a hockey team like the Senators.

Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri, whose ward contains the Canadian Tire Centre, took a similar stance.

He has supported the possibility of a new casino at the area all along, he said, but he would like to see it win in an open and competitive bidding process.

Alex Lawryk, spokesman for Rideau Carleton Entertainment, said the finance and economic development committee made the right decision on solid legal footing, but he supported councillors wanting to get more legal information at the city council meeting on July 17.

“They also said last November when they voted to move forward with the OLG program that they were going to hold their noses and vote then. So they’re still holding their noses and voting.”

While the raceway would like its own casino bid to win, Lawryk said the group would still be satisfied if it became the landlord to another casino operator, since that would still support the raceway’s operations and allow it to continue.

The only dissenting vote at the finance and economic development committee meeting was from Deans, who has been vocally opposed to a new casino.

At least one councillor was surprised to hear the city manager say that the Rideau Carleton Raceway would remain open and operated by

the OLG or a subcontractor if the city rejected OLG’s chosen option for a casino operator and location.

College Coun. Rick Chiarelli said that when he asked the same question last fall, he and council were told that rejecting OLG’s casino choice would mean the slots at the raceway – and effectively, the raceway facility itself – would shut down.

The news even came as a surprise to the representatives of the raceway.

“That’s a new but a positive wrinkle,” Lawryk said.

City manager Kent Kirkpatrick said that could end up being the result if the OLG chose not to renew its slots contract with the raceway.

Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt, who opposes a casino, said it’s impossible to say whether the original vote last November would have had a different result if councillors knew the OLG would be open to continuing to operate the slots.

“It appears the direction of the OLG has changed since Wynne came in,” Moffat said.

But that option didn’t exist at the time, he added. The previous OLG power brokers were adamant that gambling would be in the urban area, or Ottawa wouldn’t get a gambling facility at all, Moffatt said.

The OLG might continue operating slots at the raceway if city council turned down a new casino, he said.

“The problem is, for how long?

We don’t know that,” Moffatt said.

Survey shows residents don’t want west-end casino: Hubley Business group says poll is flawed Laura Mueller and Jessica Cunha laura.mueller@metroland.com

new casino at the Rideau Carleton Raceway was supported by the finance and economic development committee on July 9. Full council will have to vote on the motion July 17.

During the committee meeting, Rosemary Leu from the Kanata Chamber of Commerce spoke in favour of an open bidding process that could result in council being faced with a decision to put a casino in the west end.

“I’m troubled by your comments because they go against what I’m hearing,” Hubley told her.

Leu responded that a survey ques-

tion could be written in a way that elicits a specific response.

Posted online days before the vote, Hubley’s survey asked “Do you want a casino in your community?” and gave residents the option of answering “yes” or “no.”

There was no comment field, but his office received many emails in addition to the survey responses, Hubley said.

He said the survey was needed because his west-end colleagues have voiced their support for a casino in that end of the city – most likely at Canadian Tire Place.

But Kanata North Coun. Mari-

News - Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley said his residents back him up in opposing a new casino for Ottawa’s west end.

Prior to a meeting that resulted in the committee recommending the city only accept a new casino if it is located at the Rideau Carleton

Raceway, Hubley conducted an online survey of his constituents. The poll showed 60 per cent of the 400 respondents don’t want a casino in their community. Participants had to provide their address to confirm they are residents of Kanata South.

The councillor said the answers reflect the city as a whole.

“It’s a very divisive issue. There are two very strong camps here,” he said. “I’m there to reflect what my community tells me. That’s why I thought, ‘I’m going to go do a survey with this.’”

anne Wilkinson fired back, saying she never agreed to support a specific location.

“I never said that. I said the process has been wrong,” she said, adding that she’s not happy about casinos in general.

She wants all potential casino operators, including Ottawa Senators owner Eugene Melnyk, to have an equal and fair opportunity to bid on the project, Wilkinson said.

In the email sent to constituents with a link to the survey, Hubley said the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation has “left the city in the position of choosing only one location for gaming within Ottawa.”

The councillor said he doesn’t use casinos, nor does he have a personal viewpoint on a new casino for Ottawa.

“I don’t really understand the attraction to it, personally,” he said.

News - Dave Kunhle, grandfather of two girls who have recently been diagnosed with autism, decided he wasn’t going to sit around while they waited to start speech and occupational therapy with QuickStart, he would get on his motorcycle and start raising money.

Kunhle said he participates in the annual Ride for Dad, so when his two granddaughters, Josie, 3 and Sofia, 16 months, were diagnosed with autism, he wanted to do what he could to raise money for the program that will help them develop skills and coping mechanisms.

Kim Kunhle, Dave’s daughter-in-law, said Josie’s diagnosis came in January 2013.

Kim and her husband Kevin, who live just outside Carleton Place, had noticed that she wasn’t meeting some of her developmental milestones.

“She was having meltdowns, very similar to temper tantrums, but more severe,” Kim said. “She had started speaking and then stopped. She also stopped pointing and waving.”

Kim said when her husband first broached the subject of autism, she was very resistant.

“I really didn’t know anything,” she said.

“I told him that it was impossible she had it; only boys get it.”

They had started looking for help in May 2012, but met with resistance when their family doctor wouldn’t recommend the test for autism.

Dave said when the diagnosis came, he congratulated his son and daughter-in-law, not because of the disorder, but because with answers, they could develop a plan for the future.

Long waiting lists for assessments through the Ottawa Children’s Treatment Centre and even longer ones for treatment leave a lot of parents frustrated said QuickStart founder Suzanne Jacobson.

And thanks in part to QuickStart’s early intervention program Kim’s youngest daughter Sofia was diagnosed in April, something Dave said was devastating.

“I just saw the burden it was to raise one child with autism and to see that doubled…

Kevin and Kim are my heroes,” he said, adding that he’s happy to see his granddaughters able to get the help they need.

“There has been a remarkable improve-

Josie Kunhle, 3, was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder in January 2013.

Her mother, Kim Kunhle, is working with her grandfather on a motorcycle ride to raise money for QuickStart. ment in Josie in the last six months,” Dave said.

The first Motorcycle Ride for Autism is set to kick off Oct. 6 at 9 a.m. The 227-kilometre route starts at the Holiday Inn Express in Bells Corners and will take riders to Smiths Falls, Westport and Almonte before winding back to the Best Western on Robertson Road.

Dave said he doesn’t have a financial goal in mind, but Ride for Dad had 57 riders in their first year.

“If we get that many I will be happy,” he said. “We should be able to raise $10,000.”

Jacobson said every dollar helps.

The charity, based in Kanata, started with Jacobson’s two grandsons.

The first, Alexander, now nine, didn’t receive treatment for autism until he was four-and-a-half. He waited 10 months for a diagnosis and then another two years for

intensive therapy.

When the family began to have questions about his younger brother Nathan, they paid privately for assessment and therapy. That got things going faster and now at four, he’s fully integrated into his school.

QuickStart works with parents to fast track a diagnosis and then begins speech and occupational therapy to make gains while parents wait for the intensive therapy available through the public system.

They use a modified applied behaviour analysis therapy called Denver therapy, that uses the principle of replacing undesired behaviour with desired, but at a level toddlers can comprehend.

Even QuickStart has a wait list now though, Jacobson said, adding the ideal timeline for diagnosis is two months, and then another six weeks before therapy starts.

As the number of children with autism continues to grow – the Centre for Disease Control in the United States says about one in 88 are somewhere on the autism spectrum – society will have to find ways to cope.

“If we don’t find a way to deal with autism earlier in life we are going to have more cases like Amanda Telford who had to give up custody of her autistic son,” Jacobson said, referring to an Ottawa woman who left her severely autistic son at an Ontario government office.

QuickStart funds itself through a series of fundraisers and donations – that’s why events like the motorcycle ride are so important. The people who work for the program are all volunteers.

“That way we can have more money going to help the children,” Jacobson said.

Jose Canseco talks to fans before the Home Runs for Autism’s second annual Home Run Derby starts on July 6. Organized by Evan Malamud, the event aims to raise money for autism research and care at CHEO. The event took place in Ottawa’s west end at Carlington Park, with more than 100 people coming out to watch Canseco, as well as boxing champ Riddick Bowe and some former and current hockey players. This year’s event pit baseball players against hockey players.

All-stars come out to support autism fundraising Jose Canseco, Riddick Bowe take part in charity home run derby Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

Sports - It was a busy day at Carlington Park when a number of all-star players came out to the community field to play a little baseball for charity.

Former baseball star Jose Canseco, boxing champion Riddick Bowe, Pittsburgh Penguins prospect Clark Seymour, former National Hockey League player Doug Smith and former football player and wrestler Glenn Kulka joined organizer and baseball fan Evan Malamud for the Home Runs for Autism fundraiser on July 6 at the community park.

The group of heavy-weight stars formed two teams – Team Baseball and Team Hockey – to compete in a home run derby challenge.

“This is a great cause, and everyone should help raise some money,” Canseco said.

Malamud started this fundraiser in 2012 when he had challenged Canseco over Twitter to a derby, in hopes he would show and help raise money for autism. Canseco took on the challenge and came to Ottawa free of charge to help raise as much as he could for the charity.

Malamud won the derby against his favourite baseball player.

The event took place at the Ottawa Baseball Stadium in May 2012 and raised more than $10,000 for CHEO. This charity is close to Malamud’s heart as his oldest son Jaedyn was diagnosed as autistic at the age of two and since the diagnosis Malamud and his family have spent a lot of time at CHEO for their autism services.

A year later, Malamud and Canseco were back at it, joking around like old pals and playing for the same team.

“He beat me last year so I though it would be better to play with him,” Canseco told the crowd.

To prove this event was more about raising money for autism and less about egos, the 45-year-old Bowe, a two-time world heavyweight champion, picked up a baseball bat for the first time in 32 years to help.

Canseco said this would be-

The 7th annual Kanata North Picnic is next Wednesday. Follow the direction signs to the location on The Parkway just across from the parking lot at Earl of March High School. This year it’s better than ever with a free BBQ while supplies last, children’s play zone (with bouncies, face painting, adventure zone & petting zoo), entertainment stage including new acts such as Celtic Dancers, community information booths, vehicles to visit and information on our new recreation centre. There will be fun for all, from babes to seniors, and a chance to meet your neighbours and enjoy our all too brief summer. Bring your lawn chairs, sun screen, refillable water bottle, hat, and enjoy.

Thanks to the sponsors who support this event, this picnic is provided at no cost to the taxpayer. As usual, please share any ideas, concerns and news with me – and do remember to lock your car as thefts from cars are increasing.

SUPPORT YOUR COMMUNITY WITH YOUR TIME CAPSULE Our new recreation centre will feature items that were requested by the community but are not funded by the City. I have been working with volunteers to raise the $2 million for adding two lanes to the pool, enhancing the skateboard park, creating a youth room and more. Businesses can sponsor rooms, a sculpture or a paver on the community walkway with donations from $500 to $100,000. Contact me for details. Individuals can also get a paver inscribed with their name for a tax receiptable donation of $500 and everyone can participate with a Time Capsule.

Individual bamboo Time Capsules are provided for your $20 contribution.

You line the capsule with aluminum foil and fill it with family mementoes, photos, etc. Then return it for placement in a vault in the floor of the Richcraft Recreation Complex Kanata. Each capsule is numbered and you will receive a certificate with that number for reference by you, your descendants or friends when the vault is opened in 2063! Bring your $20 to the Picnic and become a part of history.

TWEET YOUR TIME CAPSULE IDEAS TODAY People are putting a lot of interesting (but safe) items into their Time Capsules.

Tweet your idea(s), to @KanataNorth and they will be listed on my website for all to see. Tweets received by July 31st will be entered into a draw and prizes will be awarded to three individuals that will be randomly selected.

CRIME ALERT

Two-time World heavyweight boxing champion Riddick Bowe takes a stab a playing baseball for the first time in 32 years to help raise money for autism programming and research at the second annual Home Runs for Autism fundraiser at Carlington Park on July 6. come an annual event, so even if people missed it this year, they should come out for next year’s challenge.

Both teams knocked a few balls out of the park, and making up for last year, Canseco went yard a number of times over the course of the afternoon.

An all-star game followed the derby, with members of both the Carleton Ravens and the Ottawa Gee Gees playing alongside Canseco and Bowe.

Two fans donated $120 and $125 to play on Team Hockey for the game.

The friendly event had the players and fans mingling together, where Canseco signed balls, hats and shirts and Bowe sat in the stands and chatted with the crowd.

Malamud said the organization will take the next few weeks to tally to the total and present CHEO with a cheque shortly after.

The Ottawa Police Service urges residents to protect their property by removing valuables from parked vehicles, locking and securing all doors and windows when left unattended. Since June 1st, 2013, an increase in reported thefts from vehicles has continued in concentrated areas- Approximately 100 reported incidents in Kanata South (primarily Bridlewood, Katimavik and Glen Cairn), 27 in Kanata North (Morgan’s Grant and Shirley’s Brook), and 22 in Stittsville (Fairwinds and Bryanston Gate).

Police have laid some related charges against different individuals. However, it is difficult to catch thieves in the act given that this is an extremely easy offence to commit, especially if vehicles are left unlocked with possessions inside.

West District Inspector Michael Rice stated that a number of individuals are believed responsible. He emphasized that residents need take preventative measures to safeguard their own property as the most effective approach given the ease and speed of these offences.

MP won’t speak to retirement speculation City councillor Allan Hubley possible Conservative party successor Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com

News - There is talk on Parliament Hill of Gordon O’Connor’s future both in cabinet and in electoral politics, but he isn’t commenting on any of it.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper is expected to shuffle his cabinet during the summer recess in a bid to rejuvenate the party and bolster slumping poll numbers. Among those said to be on the way out is Minister of State and Chief Government Whip O’Connor. One reason offered is that he may not seek re-election; therefore the timing is ripe to bring greater exposure to another caucus member.

The Carleton-Mississippi Mills Member of Parliament was first elected in 2004, so with more than eight years under his belt he qualifies for the lucrative MP pension plan.

He is also 74 years old. But according to one long-time supporter, city councillor Allan Hubley, O’Connor wouldn’t step down because of his age.

“He’s probably in better shape than most 50 year olds,” Hubley said. “Ever since he’s been elected there’s been talk of him resigning.

As far as I know, Gordon has every intention of running again in 2015.”

Hubley is well-connected in Conservative party circles. As a long-time, high-profile resident of the riding, he would be the logical successor as party candidate in the next election.

While Hubley wouldn’t outright deny the possibility of running federally, he said the timing isn’t great and he intends to run again municipally. The municipal election is in 2014; the federal in 2015.

“I’m not sure that day is close,” Hubley said, adding. “I’ll listen to what the residents tell me. I’m there to serve them.”

A second reason O’Connor may find himself out of cabinet has to do with party control. Backbencher discipline is doled out by the party whip. O’Connor is believed to have overstepped his bounds on more than one occasion. For Harper to quell a party revolt, he may have to

know anything about the $90,000 cheque to Senator Mike Duffy.

Many observers say when chief of staff Nigel Wright and a few others in the prime minister’s office discussed handing the money over - as was revealed by the RCMP it is unlikely Harper wouldn’t have known.

GORDON O’CONNOR cut O’Connor loose.

Karen McCrimmon is the Liberal candidate in the next local election. The recent Liberal leadership candidate has heard nothing of O’Connor’s situation and was surprised to hear Hubley’s name associated with the party. She often says she won’t speak negatively about opponents, but doesn’t profess to be the sitting MP’s fan.

“He’s done the job to the best of his abilities, and done what he’s thought is right,” she said. “I don’t agree with him. But he has always worked hard. It’s a tough job being the whip.”

She wouldn’t say the Conservative party has curtailed free speech

ALLAN HUBLEY among members. But as for openness and transparency when it comes to spending, she said the party could come much closer to the promise it made while in opposition.

As far as meeting Hubley in an election, McCrimmon indicated that her skills at the national and international level would make up for his advantages at the constituency. And that her party’s consensus-building approach is better than the Conservatives’ divide and conquer.

O’Connor is on record defending Harper’s position on the WrightDuffy scandal. He said a few weeks ago that the prime minister didn’t

Ever since he’s been elected there’s been talk of him resigning. As far as I know, Gordon has every intention of running again in 2015.

ALLAN HUBLEY KANATA SOUTH COUN.

If O’Connor does resign, a third reason may have to do with avoiding the mounting scandals the party finds itself embroiled in.

O’Connor was given an opportunity to respond without a deadline, but declined.

Knights donate $21,000 to charities Jessica Cunha

KNIGHTS

The Knights have supported the Royal Ottawa for a number of years because there is a real need to have access to mental health care, said Dulude. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still something that needs this ability and support,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Last year, the Knights donated $15,000 to local charities. For the past eight years, the Knights have raised funds for charities in the community through the Rita Maheral Memorial Charity Golf Tournament.

The event was renamed after past Grand Knight of the council and tournament co-chair Clarence Maheralâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife passed away three years ago.

The Knights of Columbus Holy Redeemer Council, which celebrated its 25th anniversary last year, has around 150 members and meets at Holy Redeemer Roman Catholic Church on the first Monday of each month, from September to June.

Dulude said the Knights activities can be grouped under five categories: church, community, youth, family and council. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Part of our community outreach (is to) contribute back to the community,â&#x20AC;? said Dulude.

The Kanata-based menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s service group raised the funds from its sold-out Rita Maheral Memorial Charity Golf Tournament, held at the Glen Mar Golf and Country Club in May. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was our most successful (tournament),â&#x20AC;? said Larry Carroll, co-chair of the event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The community always helps out.â&#x20AC;?

Numerous charities received a donation from the Knights, including: â&#x20AC;˘ Friends of Hospice Ottawa: $4,200 â&#x20AC;˘ Royal Ottawa Hospital: $10,500 â&#x20AC;˘ Multifaith Housing Initiative: $1,500 The group split $5,000 between a number of other charities, including the Kanata Food Cupboard, Ottawa Mission and Shepherds of Good Hope. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We heard about Friends of Hospice and their need,â&#x20AC;? said Stephen Dulude, treasurer of the golf tournament.

He said the Knights will continue to support the hospice organization in the future. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is for our community,â&#x20AC;? said Dulude, a Bridlewood resident.

Ruth Cameron, special events and financial management co-ordinator for Friends of Hospice, said

the funds will go towards the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s programs and services. She added that $1.6 million is needed every year to run the hospice.

Kanata North BIA appoints executive director kanata@metroland.com

News - The Kanata North Business Improvement Area announced it had appointed an executive director on July 8.

Jenna Sudds, current vice-chair of the Kanata Food Cupboard, was appointed to the position and will begin her official duties as executive director on July 15.

The opportunity to help shape this new organization, work with local business people and help promote an area that I love was just too good to pass up, said Sudds in a press release.

We have an important task ahead of us and I m proud that this board of successful business leaders has put their faith in me to move us forward.

It s a challenge I gladly accept, and I in turn challenge all businesses in Kanata North to team with us in making our area proud, engaged and vibrant.

Sudds, who has an M.A. in economics, was recently named the

adult citizen of the year at the Kanata North Community Recognition Awards ceremony for her work with non-profits.

“The Kanata North BIA is a new organization with an objective to help reinvigorate the area as a key centre of technology and innovation,” said Kevin Ford, president of the business and technology services division of Calian and chairman of the BIA. “We felt that Jenna had the right combination of skills, experience and character to help us drive a connected organization that could service our members with local opportunities while also working to promote Kanata North as a prime area to do business and have worklife balance.”

The BIA, which encompasses the Kanata North Business Park, was formed in early 2013, and first proposed in 2011. It’s the biggest one in the city by geography with more than 500 businesses, from large high-tech firms to restaurants to small start-ups and non-profit organizations.

Reasons for kids to play video games News - It’s easy to think that the time your kids spend playing video games is time wasted, but a closer look at the skills your child is learning might prove that thought wrong.

Here are five reasons why your kids will benefit from being gamers: • Video games teach problem solving and decision making. Gaming isn’t a mindless activity – it’s the opposite. Video games get kids to think and require constant input from the player. Instead of passively absorbing information from a TV show or movie, your child is actively engaged in logical thinking and decision making. They’re also learning to set goals and execute plans.

• Video games are social. Years ago gaming was a solitary activity, but due to the Internet, gamers can now play and create together. For example, games like LittleBigPlanet

2 encourage players to create their own levels to share and play with other gamers around the world.

• Video games provide positive reinforcement. The activity encourages children to improve their skills, and then this improvement is rewarded by advancing in the game.

Learning the importance of practice and discipline will help kids during school and other hobbies.

• Video games build teamwork.

Most are now designed with cooperative play options. Whether it’s solving puzzles together, or being on the same hockey team, video games give kids a number of different ways to constructively work together.

• Video games bring families together. If you’re not sure how to play, give your child the opportunity to teach you.

Jenna Sudds, right, receives her Adult Citizen of the Year Award at the Kanata North Community Recognition Awards ceremony last month from Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson. Sudds has been appointed as the new executive director of the Kanata North Business Improvement Area.

Carp Road to be widened to four lanes Patricia Leboeuf

pleboeuf@metroland.com

News - As commuting and traffic pressures grow, so will Carp Road.

An environmental assessment study is in the making, but the city is planning to widen the road from two to four lanes from Highway 417 to Hazeldean Road.

This will help ensure that it continues to provide easy, quick access to the highway and local businesses.

Several options are being explored for that two-kilometre stretch, but increasing usage had made it a necessity.

“The existing traffic, if you go out there, is pretty much constant,” said Carp Corridor Business Improvement Area president Roddy Bolivar.

It’s a nightmare if want to turn across from traffic to get into one of the businesses, he added.

Consultations were held with area residents and area businesses to gather their perception on any issues they would encounter.

If traffic conditions improve, widening the road would have positive impact on many of the businesses, particularly those that use the highway to transport or receive goods.

At the moment, traffic has impacted the success of several businesses.

If things continue, some may have to relocate out of the BIA and one already has.

“What members have been telling me that because traffic has gotten so congested that while you are close to the Queensway it still takes you 20 minutes to get there,” said Bolivar.

The project may be the solution to this problem, but widening the street may also have the unpredicted result of attracting more traffic to the area.

“We’ve already seen it happen when Terry Fox (Road) was extended and when Richardson Side Road was opened up,” said Bolivar.

“Often times when traffic is busy, you widen the street from two lanes to four lanes, but that doesn’t solve the problem,” he added. “Because once it’s four lanes, more people will come and use it.”

Other concerns were expressed by residents.

“The (property) owners were concerned that a widening that may result four-lanes would encroach on their property,” said Bolivar.

Many homes on that stretch have septic systems, some of which have the tank located at the front of the property.

The whole purpose of the study is to evaluate the environmental impacts on the area, said project manager Jab-

bar Siddique.

“We don’t know at this point how the widening is going to affect exactly at this point,” he said. “We don’t know what the final cross section is going to look like. That’s the whole process of the study.”

It will also review type of road is optimal as a thicker road may help ease traffic, but its design may impede entry.

“They were also concerned that a four-lane design that had a center median, like you often see on big roads, would restrict access,” Bolivar added.

A concrete center median or difficult turn lanes would prevent drivers from easily getting into businesses on the other side of the road.

Some people have parked across the road and dodged traffic by foot to get to some of the businesses, the BIA president mentioned.

“It’s crazy,” said Bolivar. “You can kind of dipsy doodle on foot better than you can turn a fully loaded 18wheeler in and out there.”

Though plans for the project remain nebulous, Bolivar hopes that the type of vehicle using that road is taken in consideration.

“Certainly a little smart car can surely zip in and out no problem,” he said. “But if you have a fully loaded dump truck, you need a lot of time to get on the road.”

“We need this project to think of us too,” he added. “Can people get in and out of our businesses? Don’t put a median in the middle and try to coordinate the signals in a way that opens up a bit of a gap. So that if somebody is waiting all of a sudden there is a long gap they can get in and out.”

All the information and concerns are being collected and will be reviewed before plans proceed, confirmed Siddique.

During initial discussions with Bolivar and others, consultants and city planners were clear that they had no preconceived notions about what will be done and what the results of the study will be and many questions about the project did go unanswered.

It is understandable at this stage of the project, said Bolivar.

“If you show up with a plan, people say, “You didn’t consult us” and if you show up without the plan people say, ‘What are we supposed to comment on?’” he added. “They were stuck between a rock and a hard place.”

There will be three public meetings over the project. The first will be held in the fall, but exact dates have not been decided. For more information on the project, please visit www. ottawa.ca/carproad.

Teen takes top prize at provincial piano competition Kanata Lakes girl selected to compete by adjudicators Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Arts - A 13-year-old Kanata Lakes teen took first place in a provincial solo piano competition.

Katerina Paravalos, representing the Kiwanis Music Club – National Capital Region, vied for the position against 37 other top pianists in Ontario in the Grade 10 category at the Provincial Music Festivals Competition. The finals were held in Peterborough, Ont., last month.

“I was really excited to have come first. I know the calibre of all the participants, I know it’s really high,” said Katerina, who started group piano lessons when she was three and private lessons at age five.

Adjudicators select young musicians based on their music performances to play at the provincial level. It was her first time in this competition.

“I was selected to go represent the Grade 10 solo pianist class,”

she said. “I just enjoy creating music and expressing feelings through it. I find it a pleasure. It’s always a pleasure to perform for other people and let them enjoy the music and emotion as well.”

Katerina competed in piano at the Kiwanis Music Festival in the 16year-old category and many of her opponents in the provincial competition were several years senior to her, said her mother Adriana.

“When I compete against older people I don’t really focus on the fact that they’re older than me … I just focus on having fun,” said Katerina, who also plays the violin.

“I’m just so thankful to my teacher for helping me get to where I am. I know she works hard to help me and I know I work hard and I know with God’s help I was able to play my best.”

Katerina will complete music theory courses over the summer, having just finished her Grade 10 practical exam in piano. She has also participated in the 2011 and 2012 Canadian Music Competition and was a provincial winner and national finalist both years.

“I’m very happy for her. She’s worked hard and I’m just really pleased,” said her mother. “I think it has helped her really to grow as an individual.

“I am very thankful to her piano

Bridlewood guitarist lives the dream A.Y. grad joins US-based metal band Vital Remains Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Arts - A Bridlewood resident is living the dream after being offered a position with one of his favourite bands.

Aaron Homma, 25, is the new lead guitarist with Vital Remains, a progressive death metal band formed in 1988.

“My life feels more like a movie every day,” said Homma, adding the experience has been “surreal.”

Former Vital Remains guitarist Dave Suzuki was one of Homma’s idols growing up. He said he designed his guitars to mimic Suzuki’s.

“In high school they were my favourite band,” said Homma, who graduated from A.Y. Jackson Secondary School. “The first guitar magazine I ever opened in Shoppers Drug Mart was an article on Vital Remains.

“It’s a dream come true. In high school this was a band that was always on my iPod.” Vital Remains, a Rhode Island-based band, includes, original member Tony Lazaro on guitar, Gaeton “Gator” Collier on bass and vocals, Brian Werner on lead vocals and Jack Blackburn on drums, and now Homma.

“It was an opportunity I couldn’t turn down; (a) once in a lifetime thing,” said Homma.

Homma, who is also lead guitarist for death metal bands Immersed and Killitorous, was first asked to audition for Vital Remains in 2010, and again earlier this year. But he never found the time.

“I kind of put it on the backburner because my other band, Killitorous, is doing so much stuff right now. I didn’t think I had time to do both,” said Homma.

Right before Vital Remains began its most recent tour in the spring; the guitarist abruptly left the band.

“Tony called me and said, ‘Aaron, what can I do to get you to come play for us on the tour?’” said Homma. “I told them I would do

all the Canadian dates on the tour.”

He packed a bag and took off to meet up with the band.

“I learned the songs backstage. I played four songs the first night,” said Homma, adding each song is around 10 minutes long. “We would add a new song every two nights.

“A quarter of the way through the North American tour, they asked me to play full time.”

He decided to join the band, becoming the second Canadian to currently play for an American-based death metal group.

“I had a really good chemistry with the rest of the band. It was a flattering thing to be asked,” said Homma, who is in the process of applying for a working visa so he can rehearse with the other members before their next tour in September.

The band is also working on a new album.

“They asked me to help write the new album,” said Homma. “It’s kind of cool they’re asking me to do that with them.”

Homma describes Vital Remains as “technical” and “melodic.”

“It’s blisteringly technical no matter what band I play for,” he said. “It’s all about musicianship and about being the fastest. It’s all about technicality.”

Bridlewood resident Aaron Homma is living the dream after being offered the lead guitar position in one of his favourite death metal bands, Vital Remains. The 25-year-old is working to get his United States visa so he can tour with the Rhode Island-based band.

NEW ALBUM

Homma also just finished a new album for Killitorous, co-produced with Chris Donaldson, guitarist for Canadian death metal band Cryptopsy.

Party, Grind features a number of members from other well-known bands in the genre, as well as guest vocalists.

“It’s kind of cool for me to look at all the projects I’ve been a part of … become massively successful,” he said. “I couldn’t ask for a payout as big as this and I never thought that this would happen.”

Let the foolishness begin Theatre troop hits parks again this summer Michelle Nash

michelle.nash@metroland.com

Arts - A Company of Fools is once again hanging out in parks for your comedy pleasure this summer.

The theatre troop opened up its 10th Torchlight Shakespeare season on July 3 in Strathcona Park with The Merry Wives of Windsor at 7 p.m. The Fools, who travel across the region and perform in community parks all summer long, offer patrons the chance to view Shakespeare under the stars.

“In 2003, the Fools created what has since become our signature event – the annual Torchlight Shakespeare series,” the company posted on its website.

“This event makes Shakespeare accessible by taking it out of the theatre and into neighbourhood parks each summer, allowing the Fools to bring our

an adaptation of Henry IV Part 1 and 2 with bits of Henry V and Richard II thrown into the mix. The play will be adapted and directed by founding Fool Margo MacDonald.

This indoor production will tour to three different venues from Sept. 2 to 22.

Tickets will be “pay what you can” donation, but audiences will have the option to purchase tickets in advance, guaranteeing admittance, by booking ahead on eventbrite.ca for $20.

Both the summer productions will feature the same group of talented artists – some familiar faces to Fools fans and some brand new foolish actors: Simon Bradshaw, John Doucet, Melanie Karin, Matthew John Lundvall, Geoff McBride and Katie Ryerson. Vanessa Imeson will design the costumes and sets for both productions.

More information and a detailed schedule can be found at fools.ca or by contacting the Fools at 613-863-7529.

unique brand of Shakespeare right to your back yard.”

In keeping with the company’s foolish-fun, only six actors will take on the roles of more than 15 characters for the play, directed by Cartriona Leger.

The shows will run from July 3 to Aug. 17 with a 7 p.m. start time each evening. While the shows are free for all, a hat will be passed around the audience to collect donations.

The company will perform at Walter Baker Park in Kanata on Aug. 9.

The Company of Fools is Ottawa’s oldest professional Shakespeare company and to celebrate its 24th year in operation and the 10th anniversary of the torchlight series, the festivities will continue into the fall this year with Torchlight Too: Hal & Falstaff.

Artist chips away at another oak sculpture Second art piece of Brighton Beach Oak to showcase inclusiveness Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

Arts - Old Ottawa South residents will soon have a chance to see another portion of the Brighton Beach oak tree reborn.

It was just a year ago that Westboro artist David Fels and Carleton University unveiled the first sculpture from the trunk of the tree.

Now the sculptor is working on “take two” for him and the tree.

“I learned a lot about the nature of a bur oak tree, specifically this tree; how it moves and how I move with it, but with this piece, it’s almost like a new start,” Fels said.

The first sculpture, Sailing through Time, is on display in the lobby of Carleton University’s River Building as a symbol of the university’s commitment to accessibility. Fels said this new piece will represent inclusiveness.

“The tree was a part of the community and it will continue to be,” he said. “It will be available to view in a public space where anyone will be able to visit.”

The sculpture will take around three to four months with an aim to be complete in time for the university’s 2014 International Summit on Accessibility.

The oak tree was estimated to be more than 200 years old when it

was cut down in August 2011 due to storm damage. Shortly after it came down Larry McCloskey, director of Carleton’s Paul Menton Centre for Students with Disabilities, approached the university with the idea of recreating the fallen tree into a sculpture.

“One day I was out walking my dog and I saw the Brighton Beach slowly falling down. So I called the city and I was in talks with them for two years,” he said.

The piece, McCloskey said, is a masterpiece in itself, and will be the logo for the summit.

The university said negotiations are underway to move the finished piece to the Ottawa Convention Centre, location of the Carleton-hosted International Accessibility Summit on July 12-15, 2014. The summit will be the first international conference to promote access and inclusion for persons with disabilities for all aspects of life.

The oak tree was being stored by the city and was delivered to the university, where Fels is currently chipping away at it.

Fels said he and his family used to live in Old Ottawa South and when his children were younger they would walk by the large tree.

“I used to always think that tree would be amazing to carve,” Fels said.

When it came time to carve the trunk, Fels was the best candidate for the job, with more than three decades of experience carving wood and stone.

The trunk is located under an alcove of the Architecture Building at the university.

Fels has memorized the 14-foot long, 4,000-pound piece of oak, working the design out in his head, much like a computer program.

“Normally I have a number of ideas or concepts swirling around in my mind and the Paul Menton Centre wanted a piece on inclusivity and accessibility, an idea I’ve been grappling with over the years,” he said.

When he is done, the artist said it will be less than half that weight, but remain just as long and the end result will slightly resemble the symbol for infinity.

When it comes to carving, Fels said it is incredibly intricate and he has to be careful, because he cannot make a wrong cut -- one wrong move and the sculpture is no longer the plan he came up with.

The artist, who has worked with many different materials, different types of wood and stone over the years, said he is enjoying the history that comes along with working with this oak.

“I love the interaction I have with this oak, it’s dynamic and historic and incredible to work with,” People walking by the Architecture Building at the university will be able to see Fels whittle away at the oak for the next few months while he completes his project.

David Fels takes a stab at sculpting a second portion of Old Ottawa South’s Brighton Beach Oak tree.

Firebelly’s electric harp promises to soothe the soul at Bluesfest michelle.nash@metroland.com

Arts - Firebelly will flex its electric muscles at Bluesfest for the first time this July 13.

Band members Fredy Carrière, Dan Grewal and Mike McNeil knew each other for many years before coming together to play a few tunes with fellow musician Mathieu Gagnon one December night. It was shortly after that evening that the band now known as Firebelly formed. Carrière said it was that particular winter evening jam session at the Rainbow Bistro that sparked the beginnings of the band.

“From the first song, all of us knew we were on to something that night,” Carrière said. “(We) are good friends who enjoy creating and improvising. Each member contributes their unique personality and musical talent to the band.”

The band has been moving quickly through the Ottawa-Gatineau music scene and will mark the first of what they hope will be many Bluesfest gigs on July 13 when they take to the Black Sheep stage at 5 p.m.

The sound of Firebelly offers blues fans something a little different -- an electric harp has been thrown into the mix.

Gagnon is the lead singer and harp player.

Carrière said Gagnon is a captivating storyteller, with the rare ability to make the audience feel as though they are living through the song.

“It’s his sweet, powerful voice and electrifying harp playing,” Carrière said.

This electric harp is combined with the smooth and funky bass guitar playing by Grewal, McNeil’s lively drums and the guitar playing of Carrière to create what the band describes as a “stripped down” blues sound, influenced by blues legends such as Muddy Waters, Sonny Boy, B.B. King, Albert King,

Stevie Ray Vaughan and Buddy Guy. The band also incorporates elements of funk, swing, folk, zydeco, roots and country.

This year has been a busy one for the young band: within one year of existence they have represented the Ottawa Blues Society at the International Blues Challenge (Memphis), received commercial radio airplay on Ottawa’s local blues station and have been invited to perform in an all-blues showcase at Canadian Music Week.

For the performers, it’s not all about their own performance: the group said they are looking forward to hearing some of the bigger names hit the stage.

“The line -- up-blues and non-blues -- of the RBC Bluesfest is fabulous this year,” Carrière said. “We look forward to catching some great bands and establishing some contacts with other musicians.”

Bluesfest will not be the only festival stop this summer for the group. The band previ-

ously played the BlackSheep Inn in Wakefield, Les Brasseurs du Temp and will be performing at the Calabogie Blues and Ribfest this Aug. 16 as well as other local venues, such as, the Rainbow Bistro, the Atomic Rooster and Irene’s.

Nepean-based garage folk band to play Bluesfest Jennifer McIntosh jennnifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Entertainment - As they work on mixing their second album, Nepean-based Capital Grass and the No Men will take a break to play the Black Sheep Stage at Bluesfest on July 13.

The self-described garage folk band was working on their debut album Don’t Wait for the Mountain when they first played the festival for the first time in 2010.

The band started in 2006 with vocalist Matt Gower and guitarist Wayne Coulis, whose wives were both in the vet school at Guelph University.

“We just started jamming at parties and people liked what they heard, so it grew from there,” Coulis said.

Mike Short, a bassist who lives in the Glebe, is the band’s newest acquisition. He started playing with them last July.

Gower, the vocalist, hails from south Ottawa, and said he initially he wrote most of the songs. Now the group tends to work as a team, and work together on recording in Coulis’s Nepean home.

The band – whose style has a touch of Canadiana folk – has played the Branch in Kemptville, along with the Elmdale Tavern and the Black Sheep Inn in Wakefield. They are also regulars at the Rainbow Bistro.

Gower, who also plays banjo, harmonica and mandolin, said they have been compared

to Blue Rodeo. The style is a mix of the influences and each member’s tastes, he added.

It’s Gower who coined the term garage folk, Coulis said he enjoys punk rock and D’Arcy has Celtic roots. Short said he grew up listening to Gordon Lightfoot and James Taylor and branched out to hip hop and indie rock.

We just started jamming at parties and people liked what they heard, so it grew from there.

WAYNE COULIS GUITARIST

The band is excited to play Bluesfest for the second time, both to expand their audience and to see some of the other local acts on stage that day.

Plans for the future include a CD release party later this summer or fall, and branching out to tour Ontario.

“We’d like to hit Kingston, maybe Toronto,” McGuire said. “But we are pretty happy with where we are right now.”

Open HOuse

• Carefully plan for your dependents.

• Name a guardian for young children.

• Detail specific monies or gifts to friends, relatives or charities.

• Consider what people or organizations mean a lot to you for the residue of your estate. One’s church, a charity, or a favourite organization like Amnesty International, are often on this list.

• Put in writing the details of your funeral arrangements.

After you have taken care of these basic issues, you may want to consider a few other areas.

A will is more than a simple outline of the final distribution of your property and effects. It is an occasion to plan for the financial support of people and projects that you have actively supported during your lifetime. It can also be the time to finally help those people and groups that you always intended to support but didn’t have the resources to do so.

While everyone involved in estate planning agrees with the need to make a will, remember that it is, in fact, your will. Consider your own wishes and feelings. A will is an important document, but if it does not express your wishes, it is not done well.

Talk it over. Consider the future.

Make a draft. Think again.

Carefor Health and Community Services, a not-for-profit charity aimed at keeping seniors in their homes, is gearing up for its annual run and walk fundraiser for the day care program.

News - Carefor Health and Community Services is gearing up for their annual fundraiser.

The charity, based on Carling Avenue in Nepean, aims to keep seniors in their homes longer. Robin Meyers, the program manager for the adult day program – which offers activities and therapy for seniors with dementia – said the walk is an annual fundraiser low-income clients pay for their portion of their payment to participate.

The co-payment portion of the program – also a welcome respite for caregivers – is $20 and can be a bar-

rier for participation, Meyers said.

The centre also offers a program called Let’s Get Together. The program is aimed at seniors with mental illnesses like anxiety and depression.

The goal for this year’s walk and run, set to take place at Mooney’s Bay on Aug. 31, is $13,000. Meyers said $3,500 towards the goal had already been raised by early July.

To raise pledges for the adult day care staff that are participating in the run, volunteers will host a garage sale at the Carefor’s facility at 2576 Carling Ave on July 20. The sale will start at 9 a.m. and close at 1 p.m. with a barbecue running from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.

With, Ottawa Valley LeafGuard you get MORE than a great gutter system you get expert installation and personal service from a local established company, who is going to be there during and after your installation.

What’s Wrong with Clogged Cutters?

Ordinary gutters capture rainwater and also collect leaves, twigs and other organic debris that can become clogged and create dams that impede the flow of water.

These clogs cause water to spill over your gutter and pool on the ground below. This can result in damage to your shrubs; lead to surface erosion; and seep into your foundation causing cracks and basement flooding. Water can also spill behind the gutter causing damage to the wood of your fascia and soffit.

If you have add-on toppers, helmets and hoods, that are attached to your roof and hang over your gutters, they are usually held in place by screws and nails hammered into your roof. Putting holes in your roof can cause leaks and may void your roof warrantees.

Take the first step in making your home maintenance free

LeafGuard is a unique system; it is custom cut and fitted to your home. It is a permanent solution, not a hood, add-on or bulky cover. LeafGuard is the only seamless, one-piece leaf protection available that has earned the Good Housekeeping Seal and comes with a lifetime workmanship warranty.

How Leafguard Works The Englert LeafGuard gutter system works on the scientific principle of Liquid Adhesion. The gutter’s patented design allows rainwater to travel down and around its curved hood and into the gutter, while deflecting leaves and debris.

LeafGuard gutters are rollformed from one continuous piece of aluminum that is 14 inches wide and cut to custom lengths that fit your home. The metal itself is 20% thicker than the industry standard for gutters.

LeafGuard features a ScratchGuard® paint finish, with a limited life time warranty and is guaranteed not to chip, peel or crack.

Wildlife strategy doesn’t go far enough, opponents say Beavers not protected, coalition argues

fects of wildlife in urban areas as well as rural areas, but became a rural-focused issue as the project drew to a close.

Iola Price, a New Edinburgh resident and wildlife biologist, agreed.

“The growth of trees and shrubs in urban areas … means wildlife will continue to move into the urban areas,” she said.

El-Chantiry said the city needs to do more than simply post information on a website when it comes to informing the public about what to do when they encounter wildlife.

Stow said the city does put together an information package for new residents, but admitted many people probably don’t bother reading it.

Residents, developers find common ground on infill Laura Mueller

MICHELLE NASH/METROLAND

Heavy lifting A handful of locals came out to watch as more than 100 construction workers got set to begin the replacement of a 55-year-old, 600-tonne bridge where Highway 417 crosses Kirkwood and Carling avenues on July 6. The work is part of the Ministry of Transportation’s repair and widening of the highway and took less than 24 hours to complete from the time work began at 6 p.m. This is the third time the province has replaced a bridge on the 417 using this method.

News - Community members and builders often spar over balancing the desire to protect neighbourhoods with the need to maintain development potential, but at a recent meeting they did find some common ground over the factors that should be considered as the city drafts new infill design rules.

While the first phase of the infill guidelines – currently under legal appeal from a group of developers – focused on parkways and greenery, the second phase gets to the heart of the issue: the height and mass of new homes in established communities inside the greenbelt.

The fourth in a series of workshops was held at the Sandy Hill Community Centre on July 5 and Action Sandy Hill board member Sophie Beecher introduced participants to the context of the neighbourhood to kick off the session.

“We seem to be at the crossroads of different pressures here in Sandy Hill,” she said, referencing the need to house students of the nearby University of Ottawa, transit-oriented development and the pressure of people wanting to move into a low-rise neighbourhood with good access to the downtown core.

Sandy Hill is experiencing infill in a way that completely maximizes the building envelope, Beecher said.

That’s what’s driving the need for new rules, city planner Carol Ruddy told the group she led during the workshop.

“Now we’re seeing people maxing out the existing zoning capacity that has remained unused for 100 years, in some cases,” she said. “Zoning doesn’t necessarily reflect the character of the neighbourhood.”

What was once a “trickle” of infill applications is now a flood, said city planning manager Alain Miguelez. More than 1,600 applications for small-scale infill housing have been filed with the city in the past five years.

Participants groaned as Beecher showed photos of converted and expanded homes in Sandy Hill that dwarf their neighbours.

That prompted Rolf Robillard, who works with local builder Prime Development and Constructors, to defend his industry.

“Why don’t we look forward?” he said. “These people didn’t do anything wrong.”

“They didn’t do anything wrong,” Beecher conceded, but she added that doesn’t mean they are appropriate for the neighbourhood.

Robillard said the city must proceed with caution when it comes to reducing the development potential of people’s properties.

“You’re destroying the possibility of a homeowner selling the lot and making a profit,” he said.

Both community members and developers alike overwhelmingly agreed that building height is the most important factor to determine whether a home will complement neighbouring dwellings.

“Height is the biggest element,” said Al Bateman, a lo-

cal developer. “That sets the mass (of the building).

Participants debated the need for side- and rear-yard setbacks and delved into a more esoteric discussion about the importance of distance from neighbours and privacy versus access to private greenspace and the environmental benefits of tree canopy and stormwater drainage.

Action Sandy Hill board member Chad Rollins said the rear-yard distance from a neighbouring property is almost as critical as the building’s height.

“I never understood why a line could not be drawn at the existing building line in the backyards,” he said. Making all of the backyards along a street a uniform size would make the most sense, he said.

All the participants acknowledged the challenge of defining specific design rules that could apply to all of the various neighbourhoods inside the greenbelt, but local builder Denis Michaud put it best: “We’re trying to get subjective matters written down into rules,” he said. “That’s hard to do.”

Feedback from the workshops will be used to draft some new rules that will be presented to the public in the early fall.

The issue of converting homes into apartments or rooming houses for multiple residents was a frequently referenced concern during the meeting. Gauthier reminded participants that the city is undertaking a parallel study on home conversions and a public meeting on that issue will be held Sept. 16.

Canadian soldiers head to Netherlands for 160-km march Nevil Hunt

nevil.hunt@metroland.com

News - Canadian soldiers will walk in the footsteps of their forefathers when they visit the Netherlands later this month.

Over four days, members of the Canadian Armed Forces will cover 160 kilometres on foot as they take part in the International Four Days Marches Nijmegen.

All 178 members will wear their standard uniforms and carry a pack weighing at least 10 kilograms as they walk the same terrain where many Canadian soldiers died while liberating the Netherlands during the Second World War. The Nijmegen marches began in 1909 as part of the training for Dutch soldiers. The four-day event has since become an international phenomenon, drawing both civilian and military walkers.

This will be the 61st year that members of Canada’s military have been part of the four-day march.

Many of the soldiers who will walk from July 16 to 19 met at the Canadian War Museum on July 3 for a departure parade attended by Rochus Pronk, the deputy head of mission at the Dutch embassy.

“This is the largest walking event in the world,” Pronk said to the soldiers gathered at the museum. “There will be about 45,000 people from all over the world.”

Pronk said that 7,600 Canadians died liberating his nation.

“The Netherlands remains for-

ever thankful,” he said, adding that the walk symbolizes “the rock-solid bonds of friendship” between Canada and the Netherlands.

RESERVIST MARCHES

Among those travelling to Europe for the 2013 march is Armed Forces reservist Steve Lasalle, who grew up in Barrhaven. Lasalle, 38, is a sublieutenant and a cadet instructor who works with the 96 Dundas Sea Cadet Corps, near Hamilton, Ont. He said he applied to be part of the Nijmegen march for three reasons – most importantly to “honour the sacrifice” of Canadians killed in action.

“I also want to demonstrate to the cadets the aims of the program,” Lasalle said, listing physical fitness as a key aspect of being a cadet. He said he also wants to meet the test of marching 160 kilometres over four days.

“It’s just psychological,” he said of the challenge. “The body is ready.”

To get in shape, Lasalle gets up early twice each week to cover 10 kilometres before work. He also meets the 10 other members of his team one evening every week and every Saturday and Sunday for long-distance marches.

The team’s training started in January on an indoor track and moved outside as the weather improved.

Since then the team has walked in all kinds of weather, including scorching heat.

The weekend team marches begin

“The interaction with the community has been overwhelming,” Lasalle said. “It’s been very positive. People stop us and bring us water.”

FORMER MP

Former Nepean MP David Pratt,

now a private consultant, was on hand to wish the marchers farewell at the war museum. Pratt wore his medal from the 2003 march, which he completed while an MP and chair of the defence committee.

Pratt said he fondly remembers the response of the Dutch public when the Canadian contingent passed. He also remembers walking about 500 kilometres during training for the Netherlands march, and watching

some Canadian soldiers cut the boots off their swollen feet when they finished the march.

“It’s one of the toughest things I’ve ever done,” Pratt said of the four-day march. “I salute everybody taking part. It’ll be a life-changing experience.”

Canadians can follow the Canadian soldiers on Facebook as they march in the Netherlands. Search for “Joint Task Force Nijmegen.”

Weigh in on LRT station names Staff

News - OC Transpo is looking for a moniker for its version of the “tube.”

Ottawa’s first light-rail system and first underground transit line, which has been deemed “Confederation Line” while under construction, will need a permanent name.

OC Transpo is also in the midst of coming up with a new name for the O-Train, as well as an overall name for Ottawa’s rail system. Think the Métro in Montreal, or London’s “tube.”

Names for the 13 stations between Tunney’s Pasture and Blair will remained largely unchanged when they are converted to light rail in 2018.

Six stations will remain the same, including Bay, Lees, Hurdman, St. Laurent, Cyrville and Blair. But, OC Transpo is recommending several

changes: • Tunney’s Pasture will be shortened to “Tunney’s” • Downtown West will become “Kent Station.”

• Downtown East will become “Parliament.”

• The station under the Rideau Centre will become, predictably, “Rideau.”

• “uOttawa” is being proposed for Campus station to identify which campus it serves.

• Train station will become “Tremblay,” to avoid confusion with other train stations.

OC Transpo is currently in discussions with the Algonquins of Ontario to rename LeBreton Station.

You can weigh in with your suggestions and vote on the proposed names by July 24 by going to www.octranpos.com.

Final naming recommendations will be brought to the

transit commission for approval on Aug. 21.

OC Transpo’s manager of transit planning and reporting, Pat Scrimgeour, said station names need to be linked to their geographical location – preferably street names – to help passengers find their way. Fifty of the 51 transit stations in Ottawa have geographic names.

OC Transpo is recommending no external advertising be allowed on the trains do to concerns about damaging the trains or “degrading” the overall light rail experience. Internal advertising in both stations and the trains themselves will be allowed, but OC Transpo is recommending the first five years of advertising be dedicated to “getting to know the system.”

“Advertising and information space on the inside of vehicles and in stations (would) be dedicated solely to learning

wouldn’t mean drivers could not take Main Street. It means they might have to sit in traffic for a couple extra minutes, she said.

“If someone wants to stay on Main Street they can do that and it will take them a bit longer,” she said.

Deans was combative with Old Ottawa East residents who spoke to the transportation committee. She said residents in her south-end ward are willing to accept their commuting route changing to a complete street, but only if Old Ottawa East residents agree to building the Alta Vista transportation corridor – a controversial proposed road connecting Old Ottawa East to Alta Vista over the Rideau River.

Ziad Ghadban, the city’s manager for the Main Street project, said if traffic congestion encourages anyone to choose another mode of transportation than a car, it’s a good thing that can help the city meet its active transportation goals.

Clark said the design would include trees, street lights and other intermittent barriers to provide some separation between cyclists and pedestrians.

the oblate lands beside St. Paul University. That intensification goal is listed in the secondary plan, but Lloyd Phillips, a lawyer representing the Oblate Fathers, worried the reduction in road capacity could affect whether the city gives approval

for the development plans.

Although there is a detailed community design plan for the Oblate lands, no development is proposed yet. City staff said the first phase of development there may occur in the next five years.

News - A vision to convert Main Street into a “complete street” narrowly gained the support of the city’s transportation committee on July 5.

The proposal to reduce vehicle lanes from four to two, adding instead bicycle lanes and wider sidewalks, sparked a four-hour ideological debate about how transportation modes should be prioritized in the city.

Concerned about slowing down south-end commuters and limiting the development potential of 11 hectares of oblate land on Main Street that’s set to be redeveloped, councillors almost voted against the community-supported vision for fewer car lanes on Main Street.

Transportation committee chairman Keith Egli, the councillor for Knoxdale-Merivale Ward, said now is the time for city council to undertake a progressive project like this.

“We’ve heard strongly this morning from the public … that this is what they want,” Egli said. “How many times does that happen in this room?

Very, very rarely.”

Egli pointed out that no residents from the city’s south end, especially GloucesterSouthgate Ward, came to the committee to speak against the plans.

The councillor who represents that ward, Diane Deans, put forward the motion asking staff to keep the road four lanes, add bike lanes and then determine the cost it would take to eventually convert that

road into the two-lane, complete-street vision.

She was especially concerned about the impact on traffic between the time the construction is supposed to take place in 2014 and 2015 and the completion of the city’s light-rail line in 2018.

Couns. Rainer Bloess, Allan Hubley, Scott Moffatt and Tim Tierney supported Deans’ idea, but her motion was defeated in a tie.

The committee then voted 6-4 in favour of the completestreet plan.

Ron Clark, a consultant from Delcan who is in charge of the project, said the proposed modifications would lengthen the commute for motorists by about three to five minutes.

Deans questioned the accuracy of transportation engineers’ counts of how many motorists would be affected.

“You suggest it’s 300, I would suggest to you it’s a lot more,” Deans said, adding that staff presented an “unrealistic picture.”
