News – Squealing tires and a loud bang prompted several residents of a quiet Kanata neighbourhood to spring into action seconds after a two-vehicle crash on Eagleson Road, between Kakulu Road and Shatner Gate last weekend. The female driver of a Dodge Charger, who is six months pregnant, and an older male driver of a Chevrolet Uplander were both taken to hospital following the collision on Saturday, July 19, just before

Retirement home proposal looks to allow seniors to ‘age in place’ Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com

Paul Taggart, president of Taggart Realty Management and a Kanata resident, speaks with Beaverbrook-area residents during a public meeting on July 16 about the Taggart company’s proposal for a retirement residence at 100 Varley Ln.

News - A plan to build a retirement home next to an apartment building in Beaverbrook will allow its ageing residents to remain independent for as long as possible, says a Kanata developer. “What we have conceptualized here is a retirement community where people can age in place,� said Paul Taggart, president of The Taggart Group’s realty management. The project came to community members’ attention once again during a public meeting on July 16, offering a last look at the 100 Varley Ln. proposal before a zoning amendment for the property is considered at city hall. The proposal, made by The Taggart Group who owns the land and the eight-storey apartment building currently on the property, is for a five-storey retirement home apartment building with 117 units.

Plantar Fasciitis: heel pain causes, symptoms and treatment

Plantar fasciitis is the inammation of the plantar fascia, better known to anyone who has ever had it as a severe pain, usually in the heel of the foot. The plantar fascia is a thick band of tissue that originates at the heel bone and extends under the arch and joins the tissue under the balls of the feet. The purpose of this band of tissue is to maintain the arch of the foot by binding bones, muscle, ligaments and soft tissue. When the arch attens (known as a fallen arch), the plantar fascia may stretch which results in micro tears where it attaches at the heel, causing inammation. When a person with plantar fasciitis stands and places weight on the foot, the

fascia re-tears resulting in sudden and sharp pain. Pain diminishes with rest but the relief is temporary. The pain worsens with use, often causing a person to overcompensate or adjust their stance, which can lead to leg, knee and even hip pain. The solution is to seek the professional help of a Canadian CertiďŹ ed Pedorthist at BioPed Ottawa. http://www. bioped.com/locations/ locations.asp?id=46

What causes Plantar Fasciitis? Plantar Fasciitis can be caused by one or several factors including: s %XCESSIVE WEIGHT OR WEIGHT GAIN s /VERUSE OF MUSCLES CAUSED BY long periods of standing, walking or exercising s 0REGNANCY s 7EARING WORN OR DAMAGED unsupportive footwear s &LAT FEET OR FALLEN ARCHES WEAK ankles http://www.bioped.com/ conditions/foot_pain.asp What are the treatment options for plantar fasciitis? The ďŹ rst step is to book an appointment with a Canadian CertiďŹ ed Pedorthist at BioPed Ottawa where they specialize in

the casting, manufacturing and ďŹ tting and modiďŹ cation of custommade orthotics. Custom made orthotics control and/or correct the mechanics which caused the problem by supporting the body’s skeleton muscles and fascia in the correct position and help prevent the problem from reoccurring.

There are many different types of custom foot orthotics ranging from dress to sport which are manufactured from multiple types of materials. Rigid orthotics can be made of thin, strong materials which ďŹ t within any shoe, from skates, golf shoes and even dress shoes. Semi-rigid orthotics are made of shock-absorbing materials which are moulded with support systems and crafted to relieve high pressure areas. Rigid and semi-rigid orthotics can be made with higher sides and thicker materials to custom ďŹ t a patient’s needs. No one will know you are wearing orthotics, except you and your happy feet! For more information on plantar fasciitis and other foot concerns, visit BioPed in Ottawa at one of their four centres (Barrhaven, Orleans, Kanata, Westgate Mall) or Contact them www.bioped.com/locations/ locations.

The idea is to allow ageing residents of the current eight-storey building to remain independent for as long as possible, with the option of moving to the retirement home building when they need more assistance. Taggart anticipates the eight-storey building to become popular for ageing residents, though he said there would be no restriction on who could live there. The retirement residence would also include in-building amenities, like a dining room, an activity room, a hair salon, a chapel, a theatre and a medical wellness centre. The landscaping also includes several paths and outdoor lounging areas, while maintaining the existing berm on the property, the mature trees on the south side of the property and the creek. Before the development can start, Taggart needs a zoning bylaw amendment to remove a density restriction that was inserted by the former city of Kanata. The density restriction, specific to the Varley site, limits the development of the site to one building with a maximum of 26 units per hectare. Taggart proposes to amend the zoning bylaw by removing the 26 units per hectare

requirement, and connect the two buildings via an enclosed hallway at ground level. Community members raised questions during the July 16 meeting, which took place at the Kanata Beaverbrook Community Centre, surrounding Taggart’s commitment to making the proposed building a retirement residence. The zoning amendment would not necessarily require Taggart to build only a retirement residence. One of the 16 community members at the meeting asked what is keeping the company from building a regular apartment building after getting the amendment. Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson said that she would push in council for a zoning amendment that would only allow Taggart to build a retirement residence at 100 Varley Ln., while the city’s planner who is working on the project said that the planning committee is considering the amendment based on the retirement residence proposal. The transportation study outlining the expected impact of the retirement residence on local roads would have to be re-done, and more parking spaces would have to be planned, said city planner Kathy Rygus. Currently, the proposal

outlines 116 parking spaces shared between the two buildings, with 44 of those spaces below ground. If the new building were not a retirement residence, a higher ratio of parking spaces to units would be required. “Certainly, it can’t be changed from a retirement residence to an apartment building,� she said. As for Taggart, he said he expects the zoning amendment to be specific to a retirement residence, and that “nothing other than a retirement residence is being contemplated at this time.� The development has seen greater than normal public consultation, said Rygus, with this latest meeting being the company’s seventh with the community with regards to the project. “The official plan supports the kind of proposal we have here,� she said. The zoning bylaw amendment is scheduled to go to the planning committee in early September, with community members able to comment on the proposal until July 23 by contacting Rygus at 613-5802424 ext. 23818 or by email at Kathy.rygus@ottawa.ca Taggart said development of the retirement residence would likely not start for two years or more.

Ottawa police say cause of collision likely medical Continued from page 2

Kevin immediately hopped the fence and went to help the older male driver, the only occupant of the Uplander, who was conscious. “He was a little out of it,” Kevin said. “He was obviously shaken up.” He was joined by another woman, who identified herself as a nurse. The driver asked them for his nitroglycerin medication, which they were able to locate. People at the scene said they had heard the male driver’s vehicle had been swerving as it headed south on Eagleson Road, before it apparently struck the red Charger driven by the woman. The rear window of that car was completely gone and damage to the back end of the vehicle was extensive. An Ottawa police officer at the scene said that the cause of the two-car crash appeared to be “medical related” and not due to drug or alcohol impairment. Debris was strewn over a wide swath of the roadway, and tire skid marks began on the road and led into the grass

where the Uplander came to rest after smashing into the fence. About a dozen firefighters raced to the scene, and worked to extricate the male driver before paramedics could load him into a waiting ambulance. Another paramedic crew worked much farther along Eagleson, almost at Shatner Gate, to assist the female driver. Traffic along the normally busy three-lane road slowed to a crawl as police closed two lanes to provide room for several emergency vehicles, as well as two tow trucks. Julia Potter was nearby in the backyard of her home, which backs onto Eagleson Road, when she too heard the accident unfold. “I was just in the backyard with my cat,” the young woman said. “I heard the screeching and a bang and thought, ‘Oh, that was close.’” She rushed out to see what had happened, and when she spotted the pulverized vehicles she ran back to her house to grab her cellphone to call for help.

Kevin said he and the offduty nurse stayed with the male driver until firefighters could safely get him out of his vehicle, “He was trapped in there because the fence was wrapped around the front (of the Uplander),” said Kevin, adding that he didn’t think twice about helping. “Somebody’s got to help so you’ve got to do something,” he said. Tow trucks from Metro Towing Group had the challenging task of removing both vehicles, particularly the Uplander which had become ensnared in the fence. It’s driver-side front and back wheels had chewed up the grass and had dug deep in the ground. In addition to worrying about the health of both drivers in the wake of the accident, Mandy, who has a two-year-old son, was shaken up by how close the crash came to a grassy area behind several homes in her neighbourhood. “This is where kids play,” she said.

Push for community garden began with generational conflict The push for the garden began with a conflict between generations, she said. “Two generations were arguing with how to keep their garden,� said Ho. “The young generation, they like to have a beautiful garden, full of flowers,� she said, “and the older generation, many of them are actually very good with cultivation because

Ottawa Valley Tours

they used to grow lots of veggies back home.� Many Chinese seniors are left yielding to the will of their adult children and losing an opportunity to be active, feel useful and hand down their knowledge, said Ho. That’s how the idea for a community garden first sprouted, she said. After years of searching for a location and working to get the support of the city, the community garden opened June 21, located in a hydro

corridor on Klondike Road near Roy Errington Way in Morgan’s Grant. Community members installed 26 gardening boxes, with nine allocated to the Kanata Chinese Seniors Support Centre, three for the Kanata Food Cupboard and the rest to neighbours. The garden has become an important gathering place for local Chinese seniors, said Ho, and an opportunity to share their knowledge and friendship with other community members. Chinese seniors are typically very isolated, said Ho, and apart from housework, have very little to do. “The garden is a way for them to keep active and make their life have some meaning so they don’t feel housebound and feel sad all the time,� said Ho. Peizhen Ma, one of the seniors who works in the community garden, explained what gardening does for her, with Ho translating. “The harvest from the ground, the garden, makes me feel satisfied. I have the feeling that I accomplish something. It makes me feel so great,� she said. Liping Zhang, another senior, owns her own home which has allowed her to turn her entire backyard into a veg-

The handful of Chinese seniors who are currently using the community garden know some English, but generally don’t have anyone to practice with. Now, by sharing gardening information and a common interest, they are improving their English as well, making new friends and introducing new types of vegetables to the community, said Ho. “I think (the community garden) is very important,� said Baoqi Dong, through Ho. “It will help us live longer,� he said, getting a laugh from the other seniors. “We are very grateful for what the government has done for us, and also the community as well for giving us lots of attention and being concerned for us,� said Dong.

Also, it cultivates my physical endurance and I feel so satisfied with that accomplishment.� Even Zhang’s husband, who suffered a stroke, has found small ways to take part, said Ho. Though he said he had no interest in the garden, Zhang and Ho often see him walking by with his walker, and every once in a while will shout a reminder to bring new seeds or to not water something too much. “As a community worker, I love to see that participation,� said Ho.

With the green bin scandal still the talk of the town it appears that all the councillors are horrified that such a disaster could happen in this city. Universally they are shocked that their bureaucrats could have deceived them. There is plenty of blame to go around and it starts at the top. Mr. Kent Kirkpatrick, city manager, should shoulder the bulk of the responsibility followed by our councillors. If he cannot find fault with a ridiculous programme then he is certainly lacking in leadership

councillor who posed questions, and he is not there now. From virtually the day the proposal was presented I questioned the validity of the plan and shot holes in virtually all of the figures advanced. Several letters to the editors were published without one word from any of the councillors. The former auditor, Alain Lalonde, promised to review all of my points but where is he now? Gone. We elect these people to run the city and they failed miserably. I am certainly no fan of the bureaucracy but attempting to lay blame exclusively on them should not be accepted.

skills. If anyone believes their horrified reaction then I have some land in Florida that I would like to sell them. One simple question should have awakened even the sleepiest councillor. How many people would accept the fact that 80 per cent of the people in Ottawa would accept any plan let alone this onerous one? If you offered free coffee at Tim Hortons you would not get 80 per cent of the people to show up. The answer, council wanted to appear green as an ideology and they were not ready to question anything.

EDITORIAL

Turning away from democracy

T

wo separate situations, occurring within days of one another, point to a dangerous trend away from democratic principles. The first has to do with the never-ending Carp dump saga. The corporation wants it. The people don’t. The corporation wins. Despite some 20 public meetings, dozens of residents’ submissions, the rise of opposition citizen groups, 18 council-backed recommendations from the city, and a hand delivered list from Mayor Jim Watson to the environment minister, the provincial government caved to Waste Management’s demand. Recently, as a last slap in the face to the democratic will of the people, city council voted in favour of the dump expansion. Council knew the city didn’t need another dump; Waste Management thought otherwise. But the city would have lost at the Ontario Municipal Board. Forget that council felt its hands were tied. Forget that a mockery was made of the democratic process. The corporation got what it wanted, no matter who it hurt.

The second case involved a cell tower. Rogers wanted it built next to 120 homes in Crown Point, far into Ottawa’s rural west end. Like the dump, property values would likely drop. But unlike the dump, the corporation listened to the protesters to the extent that it agreed to move the tower down the road. However, it is important to note that Rogers could have ignored the will of the people and the city’s suggestions, and instead appeal to Industry Canada. It could have gotten that cell tower built wherever it could find a landlord. It is only business interests that caused it to relent. A homeowner whose house would have been 40 feet away from the cell tower called the situation draconian. “How can Industry Canada just ignore what would happen to our property values?� said Vince Thompson. Good question. What to call this shift away from democracy and protection of citizens? When profit trumps all, another step is taken toward “corporatocracy.�

round here, the most watched computer video lately is the implosion of the Sir John Carling Building. The taking down of the building was spectacular, apparently flawless and way more fun to watch on the Internet than kittens. For reasons that are difficult to explain, the event drew hundreds of spectators at 7 a.m. on a Sunday morning and thousands more watched it on television and various online news sites. Perhaps the explanation for the video’s popularity is as simple as this: you get to watch a big explosion and nobody gets hurt. An intriguing aspect of one of the videos was a brief interview after the implosion with an official from the U.S. company that handled the demolition. “We want to come

Funny Town back,� she said. Hmmm. Are more implosions are ahead for Ottawa? Although there were few serious objections to taking down the Sir John Carling Building, which nobody seemed to want, it is worth noting that the building wasn’t all that old. It was built in 1967. A lot of us were built well before that and we’re still standing.

ing down. The next one could appear perfectly fine to you, just as Sir John Carling did to the naked eye. According to newspaper reports, it was discovered as early as 1994 that the building was showing signs of neglect and might not be worth saving. That’s 27 years after it was built. Even the 47 years that have elapsed between construction and destruction don’t seem that long. Certainly many of the houses we live in are older than that and are doing just fine. So what do we learn from this? Is it that we need to look after our buildings better? Or is it that there is a rather brief planned obsolescence built into our newer structures? Could be either.

having the Agriculture Department all in one place on Carling Avenue. If the government was committed to the concept, it would have looked after the building better. Governments, like people, can be fickle. Meanwhile, keep your eyes peeled out at the airport for Americans in hardhats. What will they implode next? You probably have candidates of your own, such as most of Queen Street and many big box stores. Remember that the offending building need not be all that old. And it doesn’t have to be ugly. The Sir John Carling building, designed by the distinguished architect Hart Massey, certainly had its admirers. Yes, I can see you there with your hand raised. The Senate, you say. Well, there will be a lot of sympathy for that point of view. But think it through. It’s true we might not miss the institution and many of its inhabitants, but think about what might

rise in its place. Right, it would be one of those glass things, with ornamentation meant to symbolize this and that. By contrast, the Centre Block, where the Senate sits now, looks quite nice. We just have to put something different there.

Good manners are a lost art

W

e’ve had a lot of opportunities to travel this summer. We’ve also had the opportunity to be hosted by various friends and family members in our travels. One message has come through loud and clear: “Brynna, your children are so well-behaved, so well-mannered, so grateful. How do you do it?� The truth is, this has been a good reminder for me. Often in the daily grind when the boys are sticking their stinky socks in each other’s faces, punching each other in the head or talking back when I ask them to empty the dishwasher, I forget that they’re “good kids.� Good is a relative term, of course. But generally, they are appreciative. They say thank you for dinner in an elaborately expressed way:

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse “Thanks for making dinner, Mom. I really like the way the chicken is tender inside.� But I often overlook it. People ask me how I’ve done it. How have I parented three kids, including a two-year-old, who can be calm and quiet and seated at 11 a.m. in the presence of a newborn baby and her traditional Muslim grandparents? Well, the truth is, really, it’s not luck. It’s not. There is nothing lucky about my children being well behaved. We talk a lot about etiquette at

our house. That includes how the children are meant to dress for a particular occasion – a wedding, a soccer game, a dinner with neighbours. That includes how they should answer adults when asked questions, including using Mr. And Mrs. or Auntie and Uncle, unless invited to do otherwise. It means reminding them that we believe there is a hierarchy in society. That older adults deserve the most reverence and respect, that children need to listen well, especially to adults that may be harder to understand or have accents, and that they need to work hard to find common ground with people in order to

make good conversation. That means listening, really listening, in order to ask appropriate follow-up questions in conversation. It means soliciting for their own charitable causes and writing thank you notes. It also means us reminding the children in advance of an occasion specifically what will be expected of them. A recent example: “You will address so-and-so’s parents as Dr. and Mrs X. You will sit quietly on their sofa. You will not gorge yourself on cookies, but may take a second if offered. You will offer to help clear the dishes.� It sounds very Victorian. Because most of the time at home the kids are footloose and fancy free, like many parents, I worry. Are the kids remembering to say please and R0332496643

thank you? Are they helping out at their friends’ houses to tidy or wash dishes or help out with a younger sibling? Because they don’t always do it at home. But recent reports suggest my kids are doing okay. More than okay. I have to say, that makes me feel good as a parent. And I pass on the compliments to the kids so they know their positive behaviour has been well received. I don’t always find the same thing when other kids come here. I find most kids are picky eaters, they don’t say please and thank you, they’re overly familiar, they talk too much, they’re demanding, and they don’t help out. Are good manners a lost art? If so, what can we do to create a renaissance?

Kanata Klassic aids cancer research Allan Brown March Tennis Club

Some of the best tennis players across Ontario were in town last week for the sixth-annual Kanata Klassic, held July 14 to 20, one of the biggest tournaments in the city. Since it started, the tournament, hosted by the March Tennis Club in Beaverbrook, has raised more than $20,000 for the Canadian Cancer Society. In the men’s final this year, Malik Bhatnagar, ranked third among under 16 boys in Ontario, was defeated in three straight sets by last year’s Ottawa City champion Iancu Ghinda. The women’s final saw March Tennis Club’s own Grace Xu defeat Leah

Garvin from the Rideau Tennis Club. In men’s doubles, the team of Nicholas Vincent and Patrick Robichaud defeated Peter Worthing and Marcos Valencia. The women’s doubles team of J-M Lawlor and Jessica Grass was victorious over Jennifer Ham and Crystal Lam. The tournament drew a total of 55 singles competitors and 19 doubles teams. Tournament directors Jonathan Adamson and Emad Hussain are pleased that so many spectators came out to support the players over the week-long tournament, and that so much was raised for cancer research. They are already planning to make next year’s tournament even more successful.

Collision reporting now ‘self-serve’ with new centre

News - A new Ottawa police program has motorists reporting 70 per cent of collisions to new reporting centres, the ďŹ rst of which opened July 14, 2014 in the west end of Kanata. The Collision Reporting Centre initiative looks to save police money and time by having motorists involved in noninjury collisions, which make up about 70 per cent of all collisions, report to the centre rather than wait for police to arrive at the scene. The program, in the works for the last two-and-a-half

years, should save police $1.6 million a year, and 8,600 hours of patrol time. It will also get collisions cleared off roads quicker, said Insp. Sandra McLaren who is leading the new program’s implementation. “It enables you to save your own time,� she said. Before now, about 22 per cent of collisions were reported by motorists involved in the accident, said McLaren. Those were non-injury collisions where the vehicles involved were still driveable. Motorists involved in the collision then have to report immediately to the same police station.

Athlete with autism communicates with athletic accomplishment Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com

Sports - A young man from Kanata who has autism was the fastest Ottawa resident in this year’s Scotiabank Ottawa Marathon on May 25. The race was Tommy Des Brisay’s first full marathon at 22-years old, finishing with a time of two hours and 39 minutes. It’s something Des Brisay has been working up to for years, with a half marathon personal best time of one hour 14 minutes and 56 seconds and many runs under his belt since he began running with his dad at 14 years old. That Des Brisay would do so well in the Ottawa marathon is really no surprise to his parents. He has always been a great athlete, and a dedicated one. “I’m going to be the first fastest runner in the world,” said Des Brisay. Though he works tirelessly to be the best at what he does, his greatest accomplishments are the relationships he has gained through his achievements, said his mom, MaryAnn Given.

Diagnosed with a severe communication disorder at two-and-a-half years old, Des Brisay’s parents were worried their son might never be able to communicate with others and build meaningful relationships. But they always knew he would be an athlete. At nine months, Des Brisay learned to walk and immediately began to show his athletic side. “He was explorative, he was hyper-active and into everything,” said Given. “He showed, at a young age, really good endurance and stamina and balance and coordination,” she said. But, when you called out his name, Des Brisay didn’t respond. One of the few forms of communication he did engage with was Disney movies, and even there, his restless side came out. “He was not a passive watcher,” said Given. “He would run out of the room when the villains came and run towards the TV and laugh and jump up and down and dance to the music,” she said. Despite the joy the movies gave him, Des Brisay’s doctors said the

movies weren’t good for him, and that he needed to engage more with people face-to-face. His parents didn’t listen. “I just thought, ‘If someone loves something that much, it’s got to be a good thing.’” said Given. So they bought more Disney movies. At this point, Des Brisay was still very non-verbal. He would utter noises occasionally, like “weee” when he went down a slide, or “toottoot” when he saw a train, but speaking was otherwise beyond him. At the age of nine, that changed. Des Brisay’s parents bought their first DVD – his favourite movie, The Jungle Book. “He fiddled around in the menu and he came running to get me,” said Given. See DES BRISAY, page 16 ADAM KVETON/METROLAND

Bridlewood’s Tommy Des Brisay, number 11, finished his first full marathon as the fastest Ottawa resident in the Scotiabank Ottawa Marathon on May 25.

Des Brisay earns respect of peers Continued from page 15

“He had it frozen at his favourite scene and he had turned on the subtitles,� she said. It was a eureka moment for them, because, when Given recited the words to her son, Des Brisay looked at them, and for the first time was able to say the words. That was a major turning point for Des Brisay, who can communicate rather well now, especially when it comes to recalling dates. Certain questions remain difficult for him, and he continues to prefer communicating in writing, but it hasn’t kept him from graduating from Ottawa Technical Secondary School in 2012 or auditing classes at the University of Ottawa. Like speaking, participat-

ing in organized sport was difficult when Des Brisay was younger as he didn’t understand many social cues or how to deal with people. But, as his athletic and communicative abilities have grown, so has his group of friends. Des Brisay is a member of the Ottawa Lions Track and Field Club and the Rideau Canoe Club, a frequent rock-climber at Vertical Reality, an award-winning skier, runner and rower, not to mention an avid user of social media with five million views on his YouTube channel and nearly 10,000 subscribers. Many of Des Brisay’s athletic accomplishments are in mainstream competitions as well as handicapped ones, showing his athletic ability is not constricted by his dis-

ability, and nor is his social circle. By proving himself as a determined athlete, Des Brisay has earned the respect of his neighbours, peers and many other athletes in Ottawa and around the world, said Given. She admits Des Brisay can be difficult at times, and that mainstream athletes sometimes have to make an effort to deal with his bouts of misunderstanding or frustration, but they are willing to do it, she said. “They don’t question his right to be there,� said Given. Despite his diagnoses, Des Brisay has proved himself through his growth and his athletic achievement. “We all want a place in this world,� said Given, and Des Brisay has earned his.

Police won’t arrive at scene of 70 per cent of collisions Continued from page 14

When all three are open, police project 13,000 of Ottawa’s 18,000 annual collisions could be self-reported. “The reaction from the public has been superb,” said McLaren after several days of the centre being in full operation. That reflects the reaction the program received when it first started, she said. “The overwhelming feedback we got from motorists in general was, ‘Thank goodness you are going to get these collisions off the road.’” Non-injury collisions are not a high priority for police, meaning getting a police officer on the scene can take 30 minutes on average, and up to two hours, leaving motorists involved in the collision waiting on the side of the road in a potentially dangerous situation. “That collision can hold up thousands of people who are on their way somewhere else,” added McLaren. Now motorists can get their vehicles out of the way, go about their life and report their collision within 24 hours.

MacLaren said the process reflects the kind of “selfserve” society we live in today. “While people may think that they may want to wait for police on the side of the road, this is a priority four call for police, so it’s going to be up to two hours for them to actually arrive at the scene, and then once they get there, there will be a lengthy time to process the report,” she said. The way collisions are reported has also changed, she said. Instead of officers submitting an all-paper report, the document is now electronic, with officers taking high-resolution photos at the collision reporting centre and including those in their report. In the case of low-priority collisions, the value of having a police officer go to the scene is fairly low, said McLaren, as the vehicles will have likely been moved and a lot of evidentiary value will have already been lost. In this new system, officers can make a determination of who is at fault based on the motorists’ statements and photographs of the dam-

ages done to the vehicles. “So the investigation is done up front with the best evidence,” she said. With this new program, police collision reports are expected to cost $167 per report, said McLaren. These reports are sold to insurance companies, allowing police to save some money. Police used to save about 14 per cent of the cost or reports, or $204,000 yearly under the old system, said McLaren. Under this new system, police hope to save 50 per cent of the cost, or $1.6 million. “It’s a significant cost recovery and it’s a significant financial sustainability effort,” she said. Motorists involved in noninjury collisions in Ottawa’s west division (anywhere west of Rideau River, Dow’s Lake and Island Park Drive) can call 613-230-6211 for instructions on how to handle their collision. Those in collisions involving injuries should continue calling 911, said McLaren. The other two Collision Reporting Centres, located at 474 Elgin St. and 3343 St. Joseph Blvd., are expected to be open by the end of the year.

Community - Variety, excellence, nurturance, trust and adventure are the five values of 5 Star Camps. Anita and Sean Hopper started the summer program in 2007 to give children and youth a fun and educational summer program. For ages five to 12, 5 Star offers a sports adventure, dance, fine arts and music camps on the sprawling grounds of Venta Preparatory School in Carp, where Anita and Sean work during the school year. “We push the kids to get out of their comfort zone, but in a nurturing, comforting way,” said Sean. “I love working with the young kids.” The camps offer advance instruction, as well as a ropes course and climbing wall, archery, swimming, and bouncy inflatables. “Kids need to be active,” said Sean. “It’s the whole package.”

Maggie Vandervoort, 11, said the fine arts camp is teaching her different techniques. “It’s something new every day,” she said, as she used paints and markers to create a colourful graffiti piece. “It represents what I did in my life, what I’m planning on doing in my future,” said Maggie. Out on the archery course youth were practicing their aim, while others took advantage of the bouncy inflatables. A group of youths practiced their team work on the ropes course, while others tried their hands at scaling the rock climbing wall. On average, the Hoppers see 1,000 children participate in their camp every summer. “It’s been crazy,” said Anita, adding she and her husband plan to introduce an academic portion to the summer camps next year. Spots are still available for a number of the camps this summer. For more information, visit 5starcamps.ca.

Thomas Dolan, Ridgetop expected to open by early August Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

News - Work is moving ahead on the emergency culvert replacements for Ridgetop Road and Thomas A Dolan Parkway. Both roads are expected to reopen by early August as long as the weather cooperates, said West Carleton-March Coun. Eli El-Chantiry. “The city is working to expedite the replacement of the culverts and get these roads open as quickly as possible,� said the councillor. Ridgetop was washed out by heavy rains on June 24, causing a section of road to fall away. The road remains closed between Thomas A Dolan Parkway and Dunhaven Drive. The rain storm also flooded a stretch of Thomas A Dolan between Dunrobin and Woodkilton roads, which remains closed. A review of the washout at both locations has been completed, including a geotechnical

investigation into the soils. The city received the emergency permits and approvals needed from the Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority, the Ministry of the Environment and the Ministry of Natural Resources “to allow the work to progress as quickly as possible,� El-Chantiry said. Two sets of new culverts will be installed on Thomas A Dolan over the next two weeks and then the grade of the road will be raised by 0.3 meters to stop water from pooling in the street. “Weather cooperating, the work on this stretch of road will be completed by early August,� said El-Chantiry.

The work on Ridgetop is also progressing, said the councillor, adding the replacement culvert should be on site by the middle of next week. “Once the material is on site reconstruction of the culvert will begin,� he said. “Again, weather permitting, the road should be open by early August.�

Thomas A Dolan Parkway and Ridgetop Road should be open to motorists by early August. Emergency culvert replacement and construction on both roads is ongoing and they will remain closed until the work is finished. FILE

‘Vimy Bridge’ could replace Strandherd-Armstrong name Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

News – The Manotick and Barrhaven branches of the Royal Canadian Legion have teamed up to rename the Strandherd-Armstrong crossing “Vimy Bridge.” In a joint letter to the city clerk, the two branches made

the case for paying tribute to Canada’s famous First World War battle of Vimy Ridge. “We feel this would be an appropriate way to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the start of World War One, and the epic battle of Vimy Ridge led by Canadians to one of their greatest victories,” the letter reads.

One hundred years ago this August, Britain declared war on Germany, bringing Canada and the other Commonwealth ¬countries into the conflict along with it. More than 66,000 Canadians were killed during the four-year struggle, including more than 3,500 at the Battle of Vimy Ridge in 1917. Manotick legion president Barry Young said the two branches felt it was important to commemorate the fight that many historians consider a turning point in Canadian nationalism and identity. “With Vimy being the major battle that made us a nation, we thought it would be appropriate to remember that battle and the people involved in it,” Young said. He said the joint application makes sense, since the Manotick legion covers Riverside South on the east side of the river, while Barrhaven covers the west. “It’s appropriate to handle it together,” he said. Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Steve Desroches said he supports the suggestion,

although it would have to go through the city’s commemorative naming process before anything is official. That includes a 30-day consultation period. “This is a remarkable structure, and it should have a name that inspires us as Canadians,” Desroches said. “So far the feedback I’ve had for that name has been very positive.” The bridge was funded in equal parts by the municipal, provincial and federal governments, and as a gateway feature in the capital region Desroches said it’s fitting the bridge would commemorate a national event. “In my mind I had always envisioned a name with national significance, given our status as the nation’s capital,” Desroches said. Nepean-Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre agreed. “As a one-third funding partner in the Strandherd-Armstrong Bridge, the Canadian government would strongly support naming it in honour of those who fought and died for our nation,” Poilievre said in a statement on July 21. While politicians have

Two Royal Canadian Legion branches are proposing the Strandherd-Armstrong crossing be renamed. jumped on board, not all residents are convinced Vimy Bridge – or Vimy Memorial Bridge, or any other potential version of the name – is the best choice for the new connection between the two south-end suburbs. “Its 100 years ago and one battle from one war,” said Osgoode resident Rob Brewster, who has volunteered at his local legion branch for years. “Why do we have to keep thinking 100 years ago? What about the guys in Afghanistan? This is the feedback I’m getting from

people my age or younger.” Brewster said he doesn’t mean any disrespect to the legions’ proposal, and said he would be happy with a name that honours all veterans instead of just those from one battle. Off the top of his head, he said names like Valour Bridge or Peacekeeper Bridge would be more inclusive. Desroches said it’s unclear when the city’s commemorative naming process will get underway, but he said the process is not meant to pit one name against another.

In addition to the spiritual and community benefits of gifting to a registered charity, naming a registered charity as a beneficiary in your Will can also be an effective way to minimize the final income tax liability

of an estate. Without proper planning, a deceased’s income tax liability could be significant. Various income inclusions at the time of death, such as deemed capital gains and the fair market value of an RRSP can result in a higher than expected estate income tax liability given Canada’s graduated income tax rates.

Gifts to Forever CHEO can include cash legacies, bequests of real or personal property, securities, life insurance proceeds and all or part of the residue of the estate. All of these gifts can potentially generate tax credits available to reduce an estate’s income tax liability. Additionally, the gifting of certain types of capital property to Forever CHEO under the terms of a Will may avoid capital gains but still maximize the tax credits available from such a gift.

If you are interested in finding out about how you can leave a CHEO legacy, please contact Megan Doyle Ray at

megandoyle@cheofoundation.com or (613) 738-3694

”

Please feel free to contact any member of CHEO’s Legacy Advisory Committee for more information about minimizing the tax liability of your estate and how you can make a lasting impact on the kids and families at CHEO. We would be happy to help you create your Forever CHEO legacy for generations of CHEO patients.

Honouring Mandela A choir performs the national anthems of Canada and South Africa to welcome guests to a ceremony officially marking the renaming of the plaza outside city hall’s heritage building as Nelson Mandela Square. Mayor Jim Watson suggested the name earlier this year to honour the late South African anti-apartheid crusader, who died last December at the age of 95. The ceremony was held on July 17, a day before what would have been Mandela’s 96th birthday.

When Mattamy Homes first got involved with Ride the Rideau in 2012, they were a cozy team of five. But like many event participants, the event grew on them. Inspired by the cause and captivated by the well-organized event, the team decided to up their involvement.

Two years later, the team has grown to more than 20 riders, and Mattamy Homes has taken the reins as title sponsor of The Ottawa Hospital Foundation’s signature fundraiser. Ride the Rideau is a natural fit for Mattamy Homes, Canada’s largest new home builder, said Peter Gilgan, Founder and CEO of Mattamy Homes. Based in Toronto, Gilgan, who is an avid cyclist, recently signed up to do the 100-mile ride in Ottawa alongside his staff. “This is definitely something that we’re proud to be a part of,” said Mark Parsons, President of the Ottawa Division of Mattamy Homes.

Mike Green, both avid cyclists, are leading group rides so all team members will be comfortable with their conditioning on the day of the Ride. The team has brought Mattamy’s small Ottawa office closer together, Green said. “Ottawa has always supported Mattamy,” said Gilgan, “and we want to give back where we build.” According to the Canadian Cancer Society, cancer is the leading cause of death in Canada and is responsible for 30 cent of all deaths. An estimated 191,300 new cases of cancer and 76,600 deaths from cancer will occur in Canada in 2014. The proceeds from Ride the Rideau support the groundbreaking cancer research that will save or improve the quality of life for many.

Instead of asking patrons to use a computer workstation, the library now has 114 Chromebook laptops available for use inside the branch. The computers can be signed out for up to three hours.

Week in Review

Ottawa library purchases 114 Chromebooks

I am happy to announce that last week the traffic light at McCurdy Drive and Tamblyn Crescent was activated and is now operational. I requested sensors be included so that cars coming from McCurdy and Tamblyn have a minimal wait to activate the light. This improvement will greatly reduce the amount of congestion at this area for residents and provide a signalized crossing point for pedestrians.

few branches, technology manager Craig Ginther said Chromebooks were a better choice to expand the library’s mobile technology options.

Kanata South will be getting more new bus shelters this year, one at Katimavik and Aird and the other at Stonehaven and Grassy Plains which are currently being installed.

News - The Ottawa Public Library has declared laptops a success and now offers Chromebooks at every branch. After starting off with 30 of the lightweight netbooks during a pilot project last year, the library announced July 15 it has added 114 of the devices to its collection. The laptops can be borrowed for free and used in any library branch for up to three hours at a time. The Chromebooks use the library’s wireless Internet network, so customers can use them anywhere inside a library branch. Wireless use at public library branches was up 35 per cent last year compared to 2012. As Wi-Fi use continues to increase, providing laptops makes sense, said library board chairwoman Jan Harder. “As our spaces are changing to accommodate customers and their devices, it’s great that we are able to lend out these maintenance-free and secure laptops to Ottawans to check up on their emails, read the latest news, or do some research,” she said in a press release. While the library also has 30 iPad tablet devices available at a

Road Closure Notification Please note that Oriole Avenue from Oakburn Road to Abbeyhill Drive will be closed from Monday, 21 July 2014 to Friday, 15 August 2014.

Our experience with iPads is that they don’t work well as shared devices.

Paddock Way from Sherwood Street to Post Road will also be closed from Monday, 11 August 2014 to Monday, 15 September 2014 for sewer improvements. The final west end flood mitigation projects are now underway for our community. It has been four years and a $35 million investment in our local infrastructure that has modernized our storm water management capabilities and prepared us for the future. Next year the $8 million upgrade to the Monahan Drain facility will provide future capacity and better flood mitigation for the newer parts of our community.

CRAIG GINTHER, TECHNOLOGY MANAGER

“Our experience with iPads is that they don’t work well as shared devices,” he wrote in an email. Chromebooks use a Google Admin system that is designed for shared use and makes the laptops much easier to manage, Ginther said. Chromebooks are simple devices that don’t require any manual software upgrades or maintenance because they function mostly via the Internet on cloud-based software. They are also about half the cost of iPads, he said. The 114 Chromebooks cost $249 each for a total of $28,386, Ginther said. So far, only one of the Chromebooks had gone missing, but the library was able to recover it, Ginther said.

Bruno van der Pluijm, ambassador of the Kingdom of Belgium, left; Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson and governor of the Province of East Flanders in Belgium, Jan Briers, unveil a new Treaty of Ghent rose garden at city hall on July 14.

City hall garden honours Treaty of Ghent laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - New beds of yellow roses at city hall are meant to bring attention to a little-known piece of Canadian history. The flowers surrounding the Elgin Street entrance to city hall’s heritage building are Ghent roses, created in 1815 to honour the Treaty of Ghent. The treaty brought an end to the War of 1812 when it was signed in the city of Ghent in the province of East Flanders, Belgium. “It is not widely known, indeed, that war was brought to a close in that city,” said Bruno van der Pluijim, outgoing ambassador of the Kingdom of Belgium, as he helped unveil the garden on July 14. To mark the war’s bicentennial anniversary in 2012, the Belgium embassy suggested donating 144 of the rose bushes to adorn city hall’s lawn. It was a “long road” to complete the garden, van der Pluijim said during his remarks at the unveiling. That road apparently included a last-minute scramble when the plants were almost turned away at the United States-Canada border when all the required

documents weren’t in order. A ring of poppies and ornamental bushes complete the garden. The rose garden is in a fitting location at the newly

named Nelson Mandela Square, in the shadow of the Human Rights monument. Along with the Second Peace of Paris Treaty that was also signed in 1815, the Treaty of

Ghent was one of the first international treaties to acknowledge human rights by declaring the slave trade “irreconcilable with the principles of humanity and justice.”

NOTICE OF PASSING OF A ZONING BY-LAW BY THE CITY OF OTTAWA TAKE NOTICE that the Council of the City of Ottawa passed By-law Number 2014-298 on July 9, 2014 under Section 34 of The PLANNING ACT.

P. 13 stipulate that there is no appeal with respect to a by-law that gives effect to the policies for second residential dwelling units as described in Section 16(3) of the Act including, for greater clarity, no appeal in respect of any requirement or standard in such a by-law.

Worker injured in 15-metre fall after tower topples in Leitrim Man suffers head, neck injuries and broken leg

Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News – A 32-year-old worker fell 15 metres last week when the tower he

was working on collapsed in Leitrim. Ottawa paramedics determined the man had suffered head and back injuries as well as a broken

femur after they rushed to the 3000-block of Leitrim Road, between Albion Road and Bank Street, at 8:52 a.m. on July 15. “He had lost conscious-

ness prior to our arrival,” paramedic spokesman J.P. Trottier said, but added that when paramedics reached the scene, the worker was conscious, “fairly coherent” and “oddly enough, despite the big fall” had good vital signs. “The bigger concern (for paramedics) and certainly for the patient as well was he had an upper fractured leg,” Trottier said. “Certainly we had to take some time ... and it was a delicate thing to move him once he was immobilized.” The worker was transported to the General campus of the Ottawa Hospital where he was listed in serious but stable condition. The incident happened during the removal of one of a series of towers that supports a larger communications tower in the area. “That (support) tower is about 15 metres high and

that worker was up almost to the top of it and the tower toppled,” Trottier said. It appeared as though the man’s leg was broken when “a section of the tower fell on his leg after he hit the ground,” he said. “When it toppled down I guess he hit the ground first and then a section ... fell at the same time and then bounced and then fell back on his leg. We’re not quite sure.” The man’s co-workers had removed the section of tower from his leg before paramedics arrived on scene, Trottier said, adding the worker’s prognosis is good. “He’s young, healthy and I think he’s going to make a full recovery, but he’s certainly got a long recovery ahead, (because of) his fractured leg,” he said. The Ontario Ministry of Labour was notified of the incident.

‘I’m going to hate him forever:’ murdered teen’s mother

Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News – The mother of murdered teen Brandon Volpi hopes the man accused of the killing will be handed the maximum sentence. Nathalie Viau watched as suspect Devontay Hackett of Ottawa appeared by video in Ottawa provincial court on Monday, July 21. The 18-year-old said very little as he listened to his defence lawyer Joseph Addel-

man request that his client next appear in court on July 31, also by video. No Crown counselor has yet taken on the case, Addelman told the court, but he said he has been assured that someone will be assigned to the second-degree murder case before the next court date. “Disclosure is ongoing,” Addelman said, adding that he received documents relating to the case from Ottawa Police last week. “I understand that there is quite a bit more (information to come),” he said as Hackett looked on via video from where he has been incarcerated at the Ottawa Carleton Detention Centre since his first court appearance on July 12. Hackett looked slightly

different from a photograph of him that was released by Ottawa police when they issued a Canada-wide warrant on June 10 for his arrest. He wore an orange prisoner’s uniform. His short dark, curly hair appeared slightly disheveled and he had grown

a faint mustache. After his upcoming court date was scheduled, he thanked the court and waved as he walked off screen. Viau said outside the courtroom she and her daughter, Brandon’s older sister, plan to attend each of Hackett’s court dates, despite how emotionally difficult it will be. “I’m going to hate him forever,” she said of the accused, adding that she hopes he never gets bail and that he will be punished with the toughest sentence possible. “I’m going to watch him go down.” She said her entire family has been changed forever after her son was fatally stabbed in the early morning hours of June 7 outside Les Suites Hotel in downtown Ottawa. Volpi had attended prom celebrations at the National

Arts Centre with about 150 other graduating students from St. Patrick’s Catholic High School on June 6. Friends of Volpi’s said the protective teen had walked a friend back to Les Suites, where students from both St. Patrick’s and Pius X Catholic high schools had planned to stay that evening. Hackett was a student at St. Pius X in Nepean. Ottawa police said early on in their investigation that two large groups of people were outside the hotel around the time that Volpi was stabbed, and that alcohol may have played a factor in the altercation. “Everyone is distraught,” Viau said of her family as she struggled to rein in her emotions. Hackett was apprehended

on July 11, a little more than a month after Volpi, also 18, died of his wounds in hospital. Toronto police picked up the suspect in that city, and swiftly notified Ottawa police major crime investigators who have been leading the homicide case. Hackett’s arrest was an agonizing wait for Viau. “I locked my doors every night,” she said, for fear that he might come to her Blossom Park home. But when a friend learned of Hackett’s arrest just minutes after Ottawa police made the stunning announcement, she quickly telephoned Viau to share the news. “I was upset, but everyone said the police were going to do it – catch him – and they did,” she said.

Hunt Club residents return home after ‘high risk’ operation Police arrest “armed and dangerous” male suspect in shooting case possibly linked to nearby search-warrant execution Erin McCracken and Blair Edwards

“Our cleaning lady was barricaded in the house,” said Loder. “She (later) said from her perspective they had a robot out that went into the house and the house was gassed.” Heavily armed officers armed with “long guns” surrounded one of the homes, she said. “There were 10 policemen on the front lawn,” she said. “They were all heavily armed and they all had bullet-proof vests on.”

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News - More than a dozen heavily armed Ottawa police officers swarmed a normally quiet residential street in Ottawa’s Hunt Club neighbourhood for about four hours late last week. The scene was reminiscent of a Hollywood action movie, complete with rifle-toting police and a hightech robot, which was steered into a home in the 100-block of Topley Crescent, near Hunt Club and Conroy roads. Linda Loder, who lives on Topley Crescent, was out walking her dog on Friday, July 18, at around 9:30 a.m. when she noticed a large group of police and emergency vehicles lined up near the end of the street. “Suddenly they all moved into Topley,” said Loder. She continued to walk her dog, but on her way back the road was closed off by police.

“It’s a reasonable sort of neighbourhood ... It’s the first time. It’s like something you’d see (in) the movies.” LINDA LODER TOPLEY CRESCENT RESIDENT

Police evacuated five homes just before 11 a.m. and closed down the street between Keys Way and Karsh Drive until 3:10 p.m., not long after executing a search warrant as part of an investigation led by the Ottawa police guns and gangs unit. The search warrant was executed “… because of information that was gathered through an ongoing investigation (in which) the higher risk for safety was a concern so they had

tactical and (chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and explosives unit officers) execute the warrant on Topley,” said Ottawa police spokesman Const. Chuck Benoit, adding that that there was a serious concern for the safety of the public and police officers. “(For) this search warrant, they used a small robot just for the safety of officers. The robot did the primary search for the information,” Benoit said. Tactical officers then followed after the robot went into the house. Other specially trained officers from the Ottawa police chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and explosives unit were also on scene. They have expertise in negotiations, recovering explosives, bomb threats, high-risk people who may be armed with explosives or whose homes have explosives inside, the reason why the robot is so important, Benoit explained. “They also have the bomb squad affiliated with them.” Five houses were evacuated closest to the home where the search warrant was issued at a residence, which Benoit said is home to a family. Someone was home when police arrived at the residence, he said, adding that a person who lives at the home was known to police.

“That was way to easy!”

Ottawa police officers took extra precautions by toting high-powered weapons, donning gas masks and using a high-tech robot during the execution of a search warrant at a home on Topley Crescent in the Hunt Club neighbourhood on July 18.

Residents barricaded in their homes Continued from page 28

No arrests were made. “The search warrant wasn’t fruitful in terms of getting what they wanted (in terms of physical evidence and information), although more information was gathered from this search warrant, which gave them more to work on towards getting a result through their investigation,” Benoit said. BARRICADED IN

“I couldn’t go to work this morn-

ing,” said a woman who lives on Topley Crescent. “They didn’t allow cars to leave or anything. “It was like a home standoff,” she said. The woman said the street was shut down at around 9:30 a.m., when officers surrounded one of the homes on Topley Crescent. An officer speaking into a microphone told a man named “Mohammed” he was under arrest and to come outside and surrender himself. The woman said police entered the home at around 10:40 a.m. and escorted out a woman and a man,

both barefoot. “They handcuffed the man and the woman passed out and they had to get paramedics for her and they took her to the (hospital).” An officer later told the woman they weren’t sure their suspect was inside the home. At one point police “gassed” the home and later a bomb squad robot entered the building, she said. “They took a lot of things out,” she said. “We didn’t see them bring (the suspect) out.” Loder, who finally was allowed

to return to her home at around 3:30 p.m., said this was the first time she saw any police activity on her street. “It’s a reasonable sort of neighbourhood,” she said. “It’s the first time. It’s like something you’d see (in) the movies.” About two hours after life on Topley Crescent returned to normal, police announced they are trying to find an “armed and dangerous” male suspect wanted in connection with a shooting that happened the previous night on Thursday, July 17, at 7:10 p.m. about 800 metres away in the 100-block of Horsdal Private. Police responded to reports that a male victim in his 20s who had been shot twice in the lower extremities. “We’re not linking (the search

warrant investigation) to the shooting,” Benoit said, but added that police are not ruling out the possibility the shooting and search warrant cases are connected. The male victim was taken to the Civic campus of the Ottawa Hospital and was listed in stable condition with non-life threatening injuries. He is refusing to co-operate with guns and gangs officers. Police are considering the possibility that the gun violence is related to gang activity, Benoit said. Police announced July 22 that they had arrested 31-year-old Mohamed Abdi Abdullahi of Ottawa. Charges were pending before press time, but investigators initially said he was expected to face several firearms offences.

Quartier Vanier launches new cigarette bin collection Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

“The new butt bins are easy to use, uniquely designed, to encourage smokers to dispose and recycle their cigarettes as opposed to polluting our streets and sidewalks,” said Mark Kaluski, chairman of the BIA.

After collecting an estimated 3,000 butts in one day, Kaluski said ultimately the best thing would be to have as many cigbins as garbage bins in the area, but he added that three bins is a start. The bins can collect up to 10,000 cigarette butts, and will be installed at sites along Montreal Road and Beechwood and McArthur avenues. The bins cost the BIA $80 each and will be emptied by Cigbins for $20 a week. The company will partner with Causeway Work Centre to manage the collection program. The bins were created by Kathleen Vivienne Kemp, Ajmal Sataar and Brian Tomaszewski, who participated in a 48-hour weekend exercise hosted by Hub Ottawa called Launch Some Good. The three University of Ottawa students were tasked with creating a company that could provide solutions for the community. According to the company, 19 per cent of Canadians reported to being smokers, smoking an average of 15 cigarettes a day. Cigarette butts are the number one most littered item in

the world, with approximately one third of cigarettes purchased being discarded in public places. The BIA said it will keep statistics on how effective the bins are, monitoring how many butts are collected to see if the bins in fact make a difference. Mayor Jim Watson and area councillors Mathieu Fleury and Peter Clark were on hand to help officially unveil the new bins. “It’s really disgusting to go down a street in Ottawa and see it littered with thousands and thousands of cigarette butts,” Watson said. “I am pleased with the Vanier BIA’s leadership, who has teamed up with Cigbins and we need to get this kind of product around the whole city -there’s no question.” So far, the project is only taking place in Vanier. The exact locations will be in front of the BIA’s office, near the benches and new waste bins and at the bus stops at the New Edinburgh Retirement Home on Beechwood Avenue and the FreshCo on McArthur Avenue.

News - Quarter Vanier wants more people to butt out. New cigarette bins were unveiled on July 16 as part of the business

improvement area’s new initiative. Partnering with a company called Cigbins, the BIA will install bins along the three main commercial streets in the area in an effort to stop cigarette butts from being tossed on the streets and sidewalks.

Victory at Lansdowne Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com

Sports - Lansdowne Park, the Ottawa Sports and Recreation Group and the RedBlacks have survived their first hurdle after a successful performance at TD Place Stadium on July 18. The Ottawa RedBlacks first home game was a trial by fire, not just for the team, but for Lansdowne’s facilities and OSEG’s planning. The RedBlacks started out slow, allowing Toronto to score the first field goal and keep the home team from several touchdown opportunities throughout the game. The Argos managed to score the first touchdown at TD Place, catapulting them past a five-point deficit by the start of the fourth quarter. But a series of first downs and key field goals resulted in the RedBlacks regaining the lead, then losing it with a minute and 33 seconds left, and

taking it again to finish the game with a 18-17 victory. RedBlacks defensive lineman and Arnprior native Justin Phillips described the game as, “an emotional victory,” but the start of winning habits for the team. “No win is easy in the CFL,” he said. “It always comes down to a few plays, who plays better in the fourth quarter and luckily that was us tonight.” Though he admitted that a touchdown for the RedBlacks would have made the win all the sweeter, it was a win, and it was for the fans, the coaches and everyone involved with the stadium. “It was wonderful,” said Bob Whitcomb from Arlington Woods. “The facilities are great. It was everything I thought it was going to be and more.” Like the game itself, Lansdowne’s first major test was not without its stumbling blocks. Some fans showed up to the

Lansdowne confused where to enter the stadium, unsure where the bike drop-off was and finding themselves corralled into The Trews tailgate party through a complicated set of exits and entrances, with not a map in site. But many fans said OSEG succeeded in overcoming Lansdowne Park’s downtown location, which RedBlacks president Jeff Hunt acknowledged as a major issue when it comes to transportation. According to some fans, the commute was not difficult. Devin Simzer and Wyatt Sheppard from Chesterville, Ont. arrived by bus, saying it was crazy with so many fans, but a good kind of crazy. Ken and Donna St. Louis from Barrhaven took the shuttle from Carleton University, and said it was “no big deal,” taking about eight minutes to arrive at the stadium. Dale and Edith Colter, who scored a pair of tickets from their son as a father’s day present, commuted from Vanier with OC Transpo, and said it took about half an hour, and that they had no trouble. Once arriving there, some fans seemed confused where the park ended and TD Place Stadium began, due to the arena’s open concept. Non-paying fans were crowded along a makeshift gate erected below the bridge on the north-east corner of the stadium, with others peering through fences elsewhere so they could see the action. The Trews tailgate party had plenty of fans excited,

RedBlacks running back Chevon Walker surges past a flying tackle by Toronto Argos player Jermaine Gabriel during the Ottawa RedBlacks first game at TD Place Stadium at Lansdowne Park on July 18. The RedBlacks won with a score of 18-17. many in RedBlacks garb jumping and shouting to rock tunes before the game. The energy in TD Place Stadium did not start off as wildly boisterous. Old rivalries were stirred, with fans seated in the south end of the arena shouting “North side sucks,” for much of the first half of the game, at times seeming more interested in shaking their placards than cheering on their team. However, the RedBlacks grabbed fans’ attention by the end of the second quarter as Ottawa took the lead, making the score 9-7. The second half of the game picked up on that momentum,

with Ottawa forging ahead through an interception and several first-down passes. A group of would-be lumberjacks behind the west-side end zone were poised to slice through a large tree-trunk as part of the celebration should the RedBlacks score their first home-town touchdown. But the log remained dejectedly intact. The fourth quarter had fans on their feet as the score clock counted down to what looked like a RedBlacks win. Though the Argos fought back with a field goal, the RedBlacks finished the game to the applause of some 24,000 fans.

“It was an awesome game,” said Jimmy Fata fro the Glebe. “Long overdue, and I’m glad they won. It was a tight game, but an awesome, awesome game.” Fans are happy the team is here, but the win means a lot, he said. So was it disappointing the RedBlacks didn’t manage a touchdown? “That doesn’t matter,” said Fata. “A win is a win.” This first hometown win has the RedBlacks leading the Eastern Division. The team will defend their position during their next game in Hamilton against the Tiger-Cats on July 26.

A bike-check organizer takes reporter Adam Kveton’s rollerblades during his trip to Lansdowne Park on the first RedBlacks home game day on July 18. arrived at Lansdowne about 15 minutes after parking my car. Fifteen minutes after that, my rollerblades were checked without a problem. I’ll admit some small pride in being told I was the first rollerblader to use the bike-check facilities. Keep in mind that I arrived about 90 minutes before the start of the game, so things might get more hectic closer to game time. Here is what other commuters had to say: “The bus was pretty packed, but I guess it was all right,” said Devin Simzer from Chesterville, Ont. “There were a lot of fans on the bus so it was kind of a cool experience.” Ken St. Louis from Barrhaven said the commute was “really quick. “We went from Carleton University and took the shuttle. We were here in about eight minutes. No big

deal at all.” Edith and Dale Colter travelled a regular OC Transpo bus route from Vanier, and said they arrived at the stadium in about 30 minutes. “It wasn’t bad at all,” he said. In this reporter’s experience, the trip home was a bit crazier, with fans struggling to distinguish between the line-ups for various buses and the bikecheck. The bike line-up was 30 or so people long, but quick. In 10 minutes I had my rollerblades, and five minutes later I was back on Queen Elizabeth Drive, rollerblading beside the canal. Dodging bikers in the dark was a bit of a trick, so I advise all cyclists, rollerbladers and walkers as well to wear LED lights or headlamps. Overall, the trip was enjoyable, and not as nutty as advertised.

Opinion - Getting to Lansdowne Park on a game day would be crazy, they said. Having a CFL stadium in downtown Ottawa is plain old silly, they said. Well, for this reporter anyway, the commute wasn’t all that bad. After scoring the game day assignment to cover the RedBlacks first home game, I’ll admit, arriving at the arena seemed daunting. With a sold out stadium of 24,000 fans, many of whom, I assumed, would be trying to drive their cars despite the RedBlacks spokespeople, I knew I needed a plan. There are four ways to get to TD Place Stadium: *By OC Transpo bus (free with a RedBlacks ticket). *By shuttle from Carleton University, Canada Post, Vincent Massey Park and the RA Centre. *By cycling and checking your bike (for free) at a secure bike drop-off at Lansdowne. *By driving and searching for on-street parking (which was heavily discouraged). Not wanting to rely on the shuttle bus or OC Transpo, as I imagined schedules would be less than accurate on the first day, I decided to park at a distance from the stadium and get myself there. I had seen the bike drop-off before, and thought that was a good option, except I had no bike. Instead, I hoped the bikecheck operators would take pity on me and my bike-less ways and check my rollerblades instead. I decided to not even attempt parking in the Glebe, Old Ottawa South or anywhere near Brantwood Park. In the hopes of avoiding fellow pilgrims, I parked near Dow’s Lake and rollerbladed along the canal. The long and short of it is, it worked. I encountered only a few RedBlacks fans on the way, and

Ottawa to host 2017, 2018 national track championships Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

pledge to purchase a new scoreboard, said Kelly Robertson, the city’s manager of citywide recreation programs. “As part of that project, we’re going to try and see if we can actually find some partners to help us get enhanced scoreboards at the site,” she said, adding that the current scoreboard at the facility doesn’t work. “We’ll be obligated to rent something but it’d be nice if we had something for all of our users of the facility,” she said. “I think it’s a better interactive experience too for people in the stands.” Other facility upgrades from a different pot of budgeted funds are expected to include a $127,000 timing tower and $17,000 in fence repairs. The bulk of the improvements will be done in 2015 and 2016 ahead of the national meet. As part of Ottawa’s Bid More, Win More, Host More strategy, which launched in 2011, the city began the bidding process in January 2013 to bring the championships here. The competition closed last September, and Athletics Canada notified Ottawa officials in January that the Terry Fox Athletic Facility had been chosen. The event is held annually, but stays in the same city for two consecutive years. Moncton hosted the event in 2013 and 2014, and it will move to Edmonton for the next two years. Athletics Canada, which selected Ottawa, has “great confidence” that the organizing committee and the city will host a great event, said Rob Guy, the organization’s chief executive

Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson, with help from the Ottawa Lions Track and Field Club, anounced the city will host Athletics Canada’s Senior/Junior Track and Field Championships in 2017 and 2018 at Mooney’s Bay. officer. The Canadian Track and Field Championships will be an opportunity for local res-

idents to see some of Canada’s premier athletic talent on display, he said.

“We’ve got some really, really talented athletes right now,” Guy said. R0012764430

Sports – Ottawa will host some of Canada’s top athletes during the Canadian Track and Field Championships in 2017 and 2018, generating a $6-million windfall for the city. “For those two years, Ottawa will witness the best track-andfield athletes in the country,” said Mayor Jim Watson, who made the announcement on July 17 at the Terry Fox Athletics Facility at Mooney’s Bay, where the future event will be held. Ottawa hasn’t hosted the event since 2006. “These young athletes and parathletes are following their dreams and their aspirations to have a chance to qualify and proudly wear the Canadian colours with a chance to compete against the world,” he said, adding that Ottawa is the perfect setting, especially in 2017, during Canada’s 150th birthday celebrations. In addition to the victories that will be seen during the national championships, the event will also score a victory for the area economy, Watson said, pumping an estimated $3 million into the city in 2017 and again in 2018. The championships will serve as the selection trials for national teams for the World Championships, Olympic and Paralympic Games and the Pan and Parapan American Games, drawing 1,500 junior and senior athletes and 300 trainers and coaches. “That’s 1,800 people, in addition to the literally thousands of people that will come and

cheer on their family, their friends and their neighbours at the competition,” Watson said, “And the combination of bids won in events hosted over the past few years has generated almost $40 million to the local economy,” said Watson, who was flanked during the announcement by city councillors Mark Taylor, Maria McRae, Mathieu Fleury and Scott Moffat. “That’s why our ‘Bid More, Win More, Host More’ strategy is a key priority of our department of economic development and innovation,” said Watson. The competition is typically held in late June and early July, but the Ottawa dates have not yet been selected. That won’t be announced until next year. But there is still a lot of work to do before the championships can be held. The city and the Ottawa Lion’s Tack and Field Club, said to be one of the largest clubs of its kind in the country, will each need to pump in sizable chunks of change to improve the Terry Fox Athletics Facility. The city will spend $300,000 in new money, while the Ottawa Lions Track and Field Club will contribute $72,000 to pay for a new throws-competition area, where the shot put, discus and hammer are launched by athletes. The city’s investment would cover track painting and a new track curb for about $30,000, $15,000 in new lighting, $10,000 in audio equipment and $100 in additional storage. The city is also looking for a partner to match its $40,000

Lawn bowling champs The winners of the annual Kelly Cup lawn bowling tournament held at the Goulbourn Lawn Bowling Club are presented with the trophy by the club’s vice president, Rick Nolan, left, from Kanata, and president George Burns, right, from Stittsville on July 17. The winning team was skipped by Jacques Marcil, second from right, with May Given, second from left, and Terry Davidson.

The ďŹ rst was her father, Jack, who was diagnosed with bladder cancer, and subsequently successfully treated with the oncolytic therapies the Ride would help support.

Since then, Dawn’s had another mammogram and ultrasound, and both came back clear. After a year off from Ride the Rideau, she and Arthur are plotting their return to the 100 km event at the ďŹ fth annual ride on Saturday, September 6 – on a tandem bicycle, of course.

With three rides already under her belt, irony struck when Dawn herself was diagnosed with breast cancer in May 2013. The investment advisor with RBC Dominion Securities was 50 years old at the time. “I’d had the instinct that something was wrong,� said Dawn.

“The diagnosis came way out of left ďŹ eld,â€? Dawn remembered. Within two weeks, Dawn had undergone a lumpectomy. The results were excellent – the cancer had not yet spread, and the margins were clear. She underwent six rounds of chemotherapy over 18 weeks, as well as radiation, which ended February 13 of this year.

One of the best parts? Her dad – “a picture of health at 88 years old� – will be there to cheer them on, she said. To learn more about Ride the Rideau or to register as a rider or volunteer, visit www.ridetherideau.ca.

A mammogram and an ultrasound conďŹ rmed the presence of a solid mass, and she underwent a biopsy and a battery of tests at The Ottawa Hospital. Although it was breast cancer, Dawn did get the good news that it was caught early.

MARY COOK Memories got a spurt of imagination. It happened when we were both swinging on the gate behind the cow byre. The cows were waiting to be put inside to be milked, and the horse flies were as thick as thieves. I felt so sorry for the cows. Their tails weren’t nearly long enough to swat the flies off their front parts, so I would often stand with a leafy branch and swish it over their backs chasing away these dreadful flies, which I hated with a passion. I was lamenting to Emerson that the horse flies even followed the cows into the barn. And I commented that once I started to milk I had R0012808464

to forgo chasing away the flies. That night while the rest of us sat looking at the Eaton’s catalogue at the kitchen table, Emerson was in a corner with his pad of graph paper. No one paid any attention to him – this was the way he spent many an hour. But the next day he took me into his confidence. I should have known better. The only time he ever confided in me about something as private as an invention was when he needed help. He had been working in the drive shed for most of the morning, and when he came out he searched the barnyard to make sure no one was in sight. He had two long poles, cleaned off branches really, off the lowest part of the big maple in our front yard, and an armful of binder twine. He beckoned me to come with him behind the cow byre. “If this works, I’ll make a fortune,” he said. “See

if you can sidle up to that cow over there.” Now, I know why I was taken into his confidence. Most of the cows were pets to me, and I had no trouble getting old Bossy to stand still. Emerson approached her rear end slowly with the two poles and the binder twine. Bossy was swishing her tail like mad. Emerson had to make two or three grabs before he got a hold of it. I was feeding hay into her mouth on Emerson’s orders. He placed the two hefty limbs along each side of the tail and very quickly wrapped the binder twine around them because Bossy was beginning to wonder what was going on at her other end. When he had it secured, by wrapping some binder twine around her back legs, he dusted off his hands and said, “Now when she swishes her tail, it will reach farther and if my design is correct, she will kill the horse flies on contact.” Now, under ordinary circumstances nothing would have come of this exercise, and it would have gone the way of all Emerson’s inventions. But that evening Father was late coming in from the fields. We brought the cows inside in a hurry, and he went right at the milking. It was almost dark in the

barn, as he positioned the stool at Bossy’s full udder, but you didn’t need much light to milk. Father was a scant foot from this weapon Bossy had attached to her tail. The horse flies loved the dank heat of the barn and the place was buzzing. Emerson was standing at the barn door, which now I realized was very fortunate for him. Bossy’s tail was moving ever so slightly, and then one of the flies must have really done some damage, because that contraption Emerson had attached to her came around her rear end with a “why won’t ya” and connected with the side of Father’s head with such a whack that it knocked him off the stool and sent the milk flying. Father just sat there for several seconds trying to figure out what hit him. Then he got up and slowly made his way towards Bossy’s tail. He stood for the longest time looking at the two branches and the binder twine that he hadn’t noticed before. He let one roar out of him ordering Emerson to get in there at once. I turned to the door where Emerson had been standing. All I saw was our barn cat licking her paws and lapping at the spilt milk.

Steak with roast vegetables perfect for barbecue Lifestyle - New Zealanders love their beef as much as their lamb. Here is a popular recipe using a dry rub to flavour the steak, which is then served over a base of herb-grilled sweet potatoes, sweet peppers and topped with grilled onion. Preparation time: 20 minutes. Refrigeration time: one to 24 hours. Grilling time: 12 to 18 minutes. Serves four.

• 4 beef tenderloin or rib-eye steaks (about 175g/6 oz each) • 15 ml (1 tbsp) olive oil • 5 ml (1 tsp) finely chopped fresh rosemary • 1 clove garlic, minced • 1 ml (1/4 tsp) seasoning salt • 1 to 2 large sweet potatoes • 2 sweet peppers • 1 large red onion PREPARATION

INGREDIENTS

Steak rub • 15 ml (1 tbsp) each packed brown sugar and salt • 10 ml (2 tsp) each garlic powder, paprika and dried thyme • 7 ml (1-1/2 tsp) chili powder • 5 ml (1 tsp) smoked paprika or chipotle powder • 2 ml (1/2 tsp) each dry mustard and coarsely ground black pepper

Steak rub: In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, salt, garlic powder, paprika, thyme, chili powder, smoked paprika, mustard and pepper. Press the rub generously onto both sides of steaks and place them on a plate and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 1 hour or up to 24 hours. In a medium bowl, mix together the olive oil, rosemary,

garlic and seasoning salt. Peel and slice the sweet potato crosswise, about one centimetre (1/4 inch) thick and toss in the rosemary oil to coat. Cut each pepper into four wedges. Slice the onion into one centimetre (1/4 inch) thick rings. Place the veggies on a greased grill over high heat. Grill covered for three to four minutes or until they’re tender, turning occasionally. Place the sweet potatoes, peppers and onions in separate bowls. Keep the vegetables warm. Reduce the grill heat to medium-high and grill the steaks for about four to five minutes per side, or until desired doneness is reached. On each plate, place several slices of sweet potato, a wedge of each pepper, and a steak. Top with onions. Foodland Ontario

Little free libraries springing up around Ottawa Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Community - Jack Castell doesn’t have far to travel when he wants to take out a library book – it takes the 12year-old maybe 10 steps to reach the little library he and his parents recently set up on the front lawn of their Alta Vista home. Unlike a regular lending library, Jack’s small branch, which has more than a dozen titles for all ages in a variety of genres, is free to use and doesn’t require a library card. The lending initiative works on the honour system. “It’s just really good for the community and it promotes literature and reading,” said Jack, an avid reader who likes the thought of being able to pass on his love of reading adventures to others. Since mounting the box on the front yard of their home at 1621 Featherston Dr. the Castells have been delighted with the reaction of neighbours and passersby. “It was really exciting to

start it, especially when we first started seeing the books (coming) in and when a few books started going out,” Jack said. The project was inspired by the Little Free Library community initiative that began in Wisconsin in 2009, when Tod Bol built a little library that resembles a one-room schoolhouse as a tribute to his mother, a schoolteacher who was passionate about reading. As of January this year, almost 15,000 little libraries located around the world were registered in the Little Free Library network, with more being added on a regular basis. Jack’s mom Juliann read about the idea in O, The Oprah Magazine more than a year ago, and the two decided their diverse neighbourhood would be an ideal location for a library. “I believe, really, in volunteering and giving back,” said Juliann, who has been taking her son to the library since he was very young. “I always remember going

stopping by and lots of people giving books, and I’ve had a lot of friends who’ve donated books so I actually have a good stash in our garage of extra books in case people take a book and don’t leave one, which is totally fine,” said Juliann. While the Castell family library is the only one to date registered in the Little Free

Library network, another will be launched by the end of July at 97 Four Seasons Dr. in the Fisher Glen neighbourhood of Nepean. Jonathon and Amanda Salinas turned to Kickstarter, an online crowdfunding platform, to raise the money needed to purchase and have a little library shipped from the Little Free Library headquarters in Wisconsin. They received $553 from 25 donors after their campaign was launched in April. One donor, who lives as far away as the United Kingdom, chipped in a couple of dollars, while another stranger in Toronto contributed $50. “It makes me feel like there are other people out there who believe in the importance of reading, and it’s refreshing,” said Jonathon. The Salinas’ library is in the process of being mounted on a stand and it will soon be stocked with books donated from family and friends. Initial titles will include a collection of Shakespeare plays as well as books by Colum-

bian author Gabriel Garcia Márquez and Canadian author Alistair McLeod. Jonathon, a public servant, and Amanda, a schoolteacher, enjoy reading, something they plan to pass on to their first child, a boy, who will be born later this year. They’re also mulling over creating a Little Free Library near Assumption Catholic elementary school in Vanier, where Amanda teaches English. Their own new library will likely also serve as an ice breaker, since the couple just moved into their community a couple of months ago. “This is a way for us to get to sort of know our neighbours and contribute to our new neighbourhood and become involved at a grassroots level,” said Jonathon. In the meantime, they are excited to loan out a selection of literary titles to encourage more people, especially teens and young adults, to get lost in a book. “I thought it was a really great idea to get people in our community into reading again,” Jonathon said.

Bells Corners residents gear up for new Hydro pathway Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - A walkway on Tarquin Crescent will be open for business soon. The walkway started as an initiative to save a stand of trees on Hydro One land be-

tween Tarquin and Robertson Road. “Hydro just showed up with a cherry picker and was going to clear cut them,� said Maureen Beaudry, one of the key volunteers who worked with the city to get the pathway constructed.

Another resident Randi Cherry stood in the path of the cherry picker that first day to save the trees. There was a lot of sweat equity on the part of community volunteers, Beaudry said, adding that she researched how to do an architectural drawing of

the proposed pathway – a requirement from Hydro. “It’s just residents so obviously we couldn’t afford to pay for an architect,� she said. In order for the pathway to be used by residents, the city’s real estate department worked out an agreement to lease the land from Hydro for $5 per year for 20 years. College Coun. Rick Chiarelli said the first phase of

the project – constructing benches and the creation of a butterfly garden has a budget of $43,500. Residents will be in charge of maintenance and cleanup of the pathway, while the city will be responsible for the landscaping once it’s constructed. Beaudry said the barbecue was an opportunity to let residents know what help is needed.

“I have been approached by a number of people that could help, so we just need to organize,� she said. Beaudry added the pathway is a valuable community resource. She recently counted the number of people crossing the area. “It was about 200 per hour,� she said. “There are links to shops, doctors offices, banking, really anything you’d need.�

Police need help solving South Keys ATM theft Staff

News – Ottawa police officers are attempting to track down a robber who allegedly stole money from a woman who had just made a cash withdrawal from an automated bank machine in the South Keys neighbourhood in broad daylight. Investigators are hoping someone will recognize the man who was cap-

tured on video surveillance around the time of the alleged theft at a bank in the 2400-block of Bank Street at 4:52 p.m. on Sunday, June 29. The woman was in the bank lobby completing her transaction when she spotted a man come up behind her. “The suspect demanded money from her and once received, he left the lobby,” police said in a statement, released on July 15, more than two

weeks after the incident. Investigators did not disclose the amount of money that was snatched. The victim was not injured in the altercation. The male suspect is described as Caucasian, between 30 and 40 years old, five-foot eight with an average build. He was wearing a yellow baseball cap, a black shirt and sunglasses. Anyone who recognizes the suspect

or has information on the robbery is asked to call the Ottawa robbery unit at 613-236-1222, ext. 5116.

Have you seen this man? Police say he robbed a woman at a South Keys bank on June 29. OTTAWA POLICE SERVICE

No money for Clegg Street crosswalk, NCC chief says Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - Residents in Old Ottawa East are going to have to wait a little while longer for a safe crossing at Clegg Street and Colonel By Drive, near the Rideau Canal. The latest safe crossing initiative by the National Capital Commission and the city, a new signalled crosswalk at Fifth Avenue and Queen Elizabeth Driveway, became fully operational on July 15, a mere two months after the commission held its first and only open house on the crossing and days before the RedBlacks hit the field at TD Place Stadium for the first time on July 18. The National Capital Commission officially opened the new crossing on July 15, with both Mayor Jim Watson and NCC chief executive Mark Kristmanson on hand to test the crossing. At the event, John Dance, president of the Ottawa East Community Association, asked Kristmanson when a new crossing would be constructed at Clegg. Kristmanson said it was a priority, but funding for the crossing would be addressed in the commission’s capital budget in the fall. Dance said the crossing at Clegg is incredibly unsafe and added he hoped the speedy work managed for the crossing close to Lansdowne could be repeated once again for Old

Ottawa East residents. “We’ve waited too long,� Dance said. “There is twice the amount of traffic over there. It should be done soon.� Much like the crossing at Fifth and Queen Elizabeth, the crossing at Clegg and Colonel By was identified as a place where a safe crossing is needed in the Rideau Canal corridor. In total, in the Rideau Canal Corridor Pedestrian Crossings Study conducted in 2011, 14 crossings were identified with the NCC currently prioritizing four spots; Fifth Avenue, Hartwell Locks, Dow’s Lake and Clegg Street on the Colonel By side. Prior to the crossing at Fifth, the Hartwell Locks crossing was complete late last year, but the latest crossing is the first to have both cycling lanes and a signal for pedestrians. The speed in which this latest crossing was completed was noted by Glebe Community Association traffic committee chairman Brian Mitchell, who said there is no question it was completed quickly because of the impending opening of the new stadium. “This is great,� Mitchell said. “It’s what the community has been waiting for, for years.� Watson said he feels the crossing will offer safety not just for game days, but throughout the year and the new intersection responds to the needs of the community. “It’s always been a risk to cross,� he said.

MICHELLE NASH/METROLAND

Mayor Jim Watson and National Capital Commission chief executive Mark Kristmanson test out the new crosswalk at Fifth Avenue and Queen Elizabeth Driveway. The signaled crosswalk opened on July 15, only days before the TD Place Stadium at Lansdowne Park will open for the first RedBlacks game on July 18.

Thanks to all who sent donations to the Ottawa Hospital, all who sent gifts of food,cards and phone calls right when I needed them. I want to also thank everyone who attended Alvin’s wake and funeral. Your care and concern have been a great source of comfort for me.

Manotick the first stop for teen game show Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

News - Manotick will enjoy 30 minutes of fame next year, thanks to a French game show that filmed its first episode of the season in the village on July 14. Les Jumelles is a teen reality show styled like Amazing Race and broadcast on TFO EMMA JACKSON/METROLAND (Télé-Française d’Ontario). Twin hosts Catherine and Julie Morin take a break from filming an episode of Les Now in its third season, the crew travels around the provJumelles, a teen reality game show, in Centennial Park in Manotick on July 14. ince pitting pairs of teens against each other on a townwide scavenger hunt for clues to a final riddle. The answer to the riddle serves as the finish line, and always relates to the history or geography of the host town. The first team to get there wins the race. In order to reach this mysterious location before their opponents, the teams must accumulate GPS coordinates by finding and scanning QR codes hidden throughout the town. The codes are placed at local landmarks and are found with the help of clues to 1-800-400-2255 or on1call.com point participants in the right direction.

in Manotick’s Centennial Park, where the show’s hosts, a pair of identical twins from Rockland, Julie and Catherine Morin, got the teams started with their first clue. Usually the teens hail from the filming location, but production co-ordinator Alain Lauzon said it was difficult to find French-speaking teens from the area. Instead, a brother-sister duo came from Embrun and a pair of best friends travelled from Aylmer. That just makes the clues that much more challenging, Lauzon said. “One team came yesterday to do some scouting, but you don’t know what the clues are going to be so I don’t know if it gave them an advantage,” he said. The teams went far and wide around the Manotick area. Without giving too much away, some clues led the teams right into the village square to visit landmark community sites. Others took them out of the village to see famous farms and furry friends. Embrun resident Annie Groulx, who ran the race with her brother Hugo, said the biggest hurdle was the

‘zany challenges’ both teams must complete to finish the competition. One challenge involved identifying flowers by their smell alone; the other asked them to fish a small item out of a vase without any hands. Hugo Groulx said, for him, it was solving the scavenger hunt that kept him on his toes. “Finding the locations was hard, because we’re not from here,” he said. Adding to the frustration is the knowledge that only one twin host is truly honest with her advice; teams must decide who to trust and hope they aren’t sent off in the wrong direction. The third season of Les Jumelles will travel to 13 cities this summer, including Embrun/St-Albert, Alfred/ Plantagenet, Brockville and Alexandria in Eastern Ontario and, new this year, Montebello on the Quebec side. The team will also travel north to Mattawa, Noelville, Chelmsford/Azilda and Haileybury. Then it will head to southern Ontario to visit Niagara Falls, Kitchener-Waterloo and Guelph. The show will air in the fall of 2015.

Construction woes frustrate Lowertown community Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Resident’s in Lowertown’s Wedge neighbourhood are upset that a developer didn’t apply for permission to use a vacant lot to park construction trailers. Claridge Homes has now filed an application for a temporary rezoning to allow it to continue to use a vacant site at 281 St. Andrew St. for its trailers. In the meantime, the city has allowed the trailers to remain on the site, despite concerns from neighbours about the noise. The trailers are being used for Claridge’s Water Street condo development down the road, spanning part of the block from Bruyère Street east of Rose Street and extending to St. Andrew to the south, about 100 metres away from the new development. The use of vacant lots for parking, which is regulated by bylaws, is something the Lowertown Community Association is very concerned about,

said nearby resident John Chenier. He said the issues on St. Andrew started in March, when the trailers first pulled in. “They were using generators for power and the noise and fumes were waking up the neighbours before 6 a.m.,� Chenier wrote in an email. Now, the trailers are wired for hydro so the noise has been reduced to the sound of air conditioners and the noise of arriving workers, Chenier said. Residents complained to the city in March and were told Claridge had been given until June 27 to vacate the lot. When the vehicle weren’t removed, residents were told the property’s owner and Claridge were seeking a temporary zoning variance. Calls to Claridge were not returned before this newspaper’s deadline, but the company’s rezoning application states the only option besides using 281 St. Andrew St. would be to encroach on city streets for the duration of the construction, “which would cause in-

agenda and full council on Oct. 8, she said. People living near the site, however, won’t support the variance, Chenier said. “We are asking the city to enforce the bylaw on illegal parking lots, we will oppose any application for a temporary variance, and in the interim, expect the city to enforce the bylaws and require the removal of the construction trailers,� he said. The temporary rezoning application will follow the same process as a regular rezoning, said Don Herweyer, the city’s manager of development review. It is now posted on the city’s development applications website on ottawa.ca and it will be circulated to neighbours, who can comment. Planning committee and council would have to approve the request for the temporary rezoning, which could be granted for up to three years, Herweyer said. Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury is unable to comment or act on the issue because his father works for Claridge.
