Fire destroys Bridlewood home Explosions and a fire destroyed a two-storey house on Grassy Plains Drive in Bridlewood last week. The Ottawa fire department received multiple calls around 8:50 p.m. on Wednesday, June 22, reporting explosions and flames coming from the house. A couple, two children and a grandmother living at the residence evacuated after hearing an explosion, said fire department spokesman Marc Messier. One of the homeowners and a neighbour helped the grandmother out of her second floor bedroom. She was treated at the scene and taken to hospital by paramedics for a pre-existing medical condition, said Messier. No one was injured as a result of the fire. The home was fully engulfed when fire crews ar-

rived. The flames spread to the roof of a neighbouring house, melting the siding and damaging the attic. Former Ottawa Senators player Shawn Van Allen, his wife and three children escaped uninjured. The house suffered water and smoke damage to the second floor of the home but fire crews were able to cover most of the contents with tarps to protect them from further damage, said Messier. The blaze is believed to have started in the garage of the house at 168, but the cause of the explosions and fire is still under investigation. Fifty firefighters and 15 vehicles responded to the call. The fire was under control just after 10 p.m. Damages were estimated at around $850,000. Both families were displaced by the fire.

‘It’ll definitely be a little bit of a different show’ SLOAN, from 1 “It’s nice that people still remember us and enjoy the records that we’re making.” He said although the new songs are a lot of fun to play, the show on Canada Day will be filled with many old favourites. “When we play Kanata it’ll definitely be a little bit of a different show,” said Ferguson. “We’ll try to skew it more with recognizable songs that people hear on the radio. Definitely

when we play those outdoor festivals we skew it a little more to songs people will recognize.” With expected crowds of 30,000 people for the event, Ferguson said he’s looking forward to feeding off the crowd’s energy. “If you get a good audience, if the audience is there to participate and have a good time the energy is fed back to us,” he said. “Hopefully singa-longs will ensue.” Sloan is planning on sticking around to witness the grand finale of

the event. “We’ll be there for the fireworks for sure,” said Ferguson, adding the band will probably have to drive out overnight for a quick rest in Toronto before moving on in the touring circuit. Last year, the band played Canada Day in Los Angeles on Sunset Boulevard. Although Sloan enjoyed the celebrations, Ferguson said it doesn’t compare to playing July 1 outdoors in Canada. “We’re really looking forward to playing,” he said. “I like playing out-

Protesters stage walk out at Beaver Pond meeting BLAIR EDWARDS Blair.edwards@metroland.com

KNL Developments hosted a public meeting at All Saints Catholic High School on Wednesday, June 22, to provide an update about its housing project near the Beaver Pond. A group of more than 20 opponents of the development staged a peaceful protest outside the high school before the start of the meeting, which was hosted by Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson. KNL, a partnership of Richcraft Homes and Urbandale Corp., plans to build 259 single family homes and 214 street homes on land north of the Beaver Pond, with construction to begin in the fall or winter of 2012. The Beaver Pond development will include an 80-metre corridor of green space that will connect to Trillium Woods, as negotiated in a land swap deal with the City of Ottawa. The recreation trails running through the development will remain shut down until construction is finished, hopefully by early 2013, said Jarvis. The company has finished clear cutting but will hold off on removing the tree stumps until it finishes another archaeological study. “We made a commitment to work with the Algonquins of Ontario,” she said. “We will continue to do this.” After it removes all the tree stumps, KNL will start blasting – a process that

will last four to five months and start servicing the site in either the spring or summer of 2012, said Mary Jarvis, Urbandale’s director of planning. Jarvis faced a hostile crowd, with many members of the audience interrupting her presentation with questions or statements. Four police officers attended the meeting, but were never forced to take action. Gord Henderson, the former president of the Kanata Beaverbrook Community Association and a member of the Coalition to Protect the South March Highlands, said tree-cutting to prepare for construction on the Beaver Pond land has destroyed animal habitat and killed hibernating animals. “We need a municipal bylaw to address this kind of (action) so we do not see clear cutting when animals are hibernating,” he said. “It’s disgusting.” When Jarvis attempted to continue her presentation, Daniel Bernard, a member of the Algonquin Amikwabe (Beaver Nation), interrupted, asking Urbandale to reconsider moving ahead with the housing project. “This is the land of my ancestors you are destroying,” he said. “This is the last urban forest you have. “I say this to you KNL, you have done wrong to the Algonquin Nation,” he said. “The forest when it is destroyed can never be replaced.” PROTEST, see page 7

EDITORIAL

Kanata Kourier-Standard - JUNE 30, 2011

On the right track

fter more than half a decade of muddling its way through the file, Ottawa city council made a positive first step toward building an effective light rail system last week. It might not have the same impact as the massive, multi-billion dollar light-rail transit plan that is slowly working its way through city hall, but the approval of a plan to purchase six new trains and construct a pair of passing sections on the north-south O-Train line puts the city on course to realize the benefits of a truly effective transit system. Started as a pilot project back in 2001, the current O-Train line that runs from Bayview south to Greenboro has reached capacity. The introduction of additional trains – the current system uses two – will drastically increase that capacity and will reduce the average wait time between trains from 15 to eight minutes. But for nearly $60 million, what a grown-up version of the O-Train will provide is a taste of the potential light rail has to improve transit in this city.

For many residents, transit can mean waiting in the heat or cold for a bus that will only get stuck amid the throng of other commuters clogging the streets. For those with access to the O-Train, this investment will mean a vastly improved experience, especially when trips on the Transitway become less enticing once construction on the east-west LRT grinds service through Hurdman Station to a halt. The move also opens the door for future expansion of the north-south line. Transit Commission chairwoman Diane Deans has already asked city staffers to look at the feasibility of extending the O-Train as far south as the Leitrim park-and-ride, providing rail access to the growing community of Riverside South and the airport. The addition of new stops along the existing line is also being proposed by members of the community. The expansion of the O-Train represents the first real improvement to transit in Ottawa in recent years, and will mark the beginning of a light rail revolution in the nation’s capital.

Something else to blame on the cellphone

t is a winding road of logic that leads to the conclusion that there would have been no riots in Vancouver if people still smoked, but you are patient people and the journey is an interesting one. Begin with a series of observations. At the gym, a man gets dressed after his workout, steps out into the lobby and takes out his cellphone. Coming out of a concert, a couple pauses outside the door while both people draw cellphones out of their pockets. Sitting alone in a restaurant, a woman toys with her phone while she waits. In a car stopped at a light, a man furtively checks his phone. Now, they may all have important calls to make, important messages to read, but what they are doing looks so much like smoking it’s spooky. When people used to smoke, that’s when they did it – coming out of a place where smoking was forbidden, such as a church or concert hall, sitting in the car, waiting alone for someone. Now they use the phone in the same situation – as a reward, as something to pass the time, as something to disguise the fact that they have nothing to do. Perhaps people don’t check their cellphones after sex, another stereotypi-

KANATA

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town cal cigarette moment, but these days you can never be too sure. Another classic cigarette moment that can’t be replicated with the cellphone is the act of picking up the phone. A lot of people used to light up when making a call. Picking up the phone while picking up the phone doesn’t make a lot of sense, although you wouldn’t put it past some people. With this incontrovertible evidence at hand, do we make the logical leap and blame the decline of the cigarette for the rise of the cellphone? Of course. Remember the Law of Unintended Consequences? It’s obviously at work here. We got rid, for the most part, of a habit that caused death and disease, both to practitioners and innocent bystanders. We rid our indoor spaces, not to mention our clothes, of vile smells and unbreath-

able air. So that was all good. Our reward was the outbreak of another vice, less fatal and less smelly, but with social implications we are only now beginning to measure. Short attention spans, people seemingly talking to themselves on buses, customized ringtones interrupting plays and concerts, some very weird driving – we are familiar with all of these and the consequences are no mystery. We know far less about the consequences of everyone carrying a camera in their telephone. Thanks to the telephone camera, more people than ever before take photos. How does it affect people’s behaviour knowing that just about every person they meet is a photographer? Well, for many people, not enough. Celebrities seem to indulge in just as many colourful activities as before, their lapses in judgment captured by amateur cellphone paparazzi. People sleep on the job, drive and text while cellphone vigilantes point and click. So the cellphone camera seems to be no deterrent to bad behaviour. The question raised by the Vancouver riots is whether the cellphone camera actually encourages that behaviour. To watch the proceedings on live TV,

And the audience might have gone home, making the situation much more manageable, if they hadn’t had cellphone cameras and the urge to record history. Things would have been so much better, if all they’d done was stand around and smoke.

The contest, called Love Shouldn’t Be a Battlefield, was created to shed light on violence in teen relationships among high school students. “The messages on the posters is so, so powerful,” said Cathy Jordan, executive director of the WOCRC. “The contest helps to spread the word that violence is not OK.” First place winner Hailey Kehler was awarded an iPod for her winning design. Her poster depicts a young man raising his hand to a girl in a dimly lit hallway. The word “help” is written on the sole of her shoe. The poster states: “Others can’t always see the effects of dating violence

WINNING DESIGNS A.Y. Jackson Secondary Student Lisa Cummings took second place for her ‘Stop and Look’ poster. “I think it’s important, you want to trust the person you’re going to be with,” said the Grade 11 student. “In raising awareness, it’s good for people to know there’s help out there for them.” Lisa won a gift certificate to Bayshore Shopping Centre for her poster. Grade11 A.Y. Jackson students Kathrine Marincak, Lizz Jackson, Nicole Madore and Cynthia Ritchie all took home honourable mentions for their poster designs. “We target the grades 7 and 8s with healthy dating so we wanted something to follow up with the high school students,” said Terry Longhorn, peer support worker at the WOCRC. “The questions they asked…they were asking very intelligent questions. It’s a stepping stone.”

Did you know that working smoke alarms can cut your chances of dying in a fire by 50 per cent? In Ontario, having working smoke alarms is not only a good idea -- it’s the law. Ottawa Fire Services recommends you install a smoke alarm on every level of your home, and outside your sleeping areas. Test your smoke alarms every month and change the batteries twice a year when you change your clocks. A working smoke alarm and a home fire escape plan will significantly increase your chances of surviving a fire.

Cenotaph maintenance ‘fell through the cracks’ JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

The Kanata Cenotaph got a spring cleaning in the second last week of June. After John Gooch, the man who spearheaded the campaign to build a cenotaph in Kanata, placed a number of calls to the city, a work crew was sent out to the Kanata Cenotaph for the first time to clean the grounds, which had been littered with weeds and debris. “I’ve never seen it like before,” said Gooch, a week before the Cenotaph area was cleaned up. “Some of this stuff has been here from the winter. “This is a dedicated area to those who gave their lives and also those who served and it’s a disgrace.” The Cenotaph is owned and maintained by the City of Ottawa. Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson said usually the city tries to clean the Cenotaph’s grounds on a regular basis because the significance of the monument is important. This year, however, the lack of maintenance went unnoticed by city staff. “It’s something that fell through the cracks,” said Wilkinson. “It happens from time to time.” Jocelyne Turner, spokesperson for the City of Ottawa, said work crews had cleaned up the weeds around the Cenotaph three times already this year. The first time was in May. “It does seem that it does overgrow pretty rapidly there,” she said about the weeds. Because of this, the city has designated a crew to attend to the

Cenotaph once a week. “Now the crews will be going every Friday morning,” said Turner. Gooch, a veteran of the British army and a member of the Kanata Legion, was behind the creation of the Kanata Cenotaph at Village Green Memorial Park in Colchester Square in 1998. The 86-year-old Glen Cairn man organized the layout of the cenotaph with the planting of

“

This monument is for the guys that are gone. • John Gooch

”

20 trees, each with a memorial plaque, a central stone, a flagpole and a commemorative plaque. Less than two weeks after he received the Mayor’s City Builder Award for his volunteer work, he said he contacted the mayor’s office about the Cenotaph’s disrepair, but his calls went unreturned. Gooch said he was happy the Cenotaph grounds had finally been cleaned up, adding he hoped staff won’t leave it as long between maintenance visits. “This monument is for the guys that are gone,” said the Second World War veteran. “And someday I will be too.” With files from Blair Edwards

John Gooch was appalled at the state of the grounds, which included debris left from the winter and weeds growing all around the Cenotaph. The city cleaned up the area last week.

Tree watering in the bag for city with ‘Treegators’ LAURA MUELLER laura.mueller@metroland.com

Newly planted trees will be getting a bagged lunch thanks to a new pilot project. Instead of seeing city workers turning a hose on saplings, get used to the sight of a green bag hanging off of new trees. The bags will give a drink to 1,500 new city trees with a steady trickle of water directly onto their root systems. For the first three years of their lives, the city waters trees to ensure they receive enough nutrients to grow. But there is a lot of labour – and wasted water – involved in that process. The bags will reduce the amount water used by between 40 and 90 litres per tree.

Each “Treegator” (the commercial name the bags are marketed under) holds 64 L of water, which seeps out over a five- to nine-hour period. The bags will be refilled every five to eight days – the same schedule as traditional watering. But watering with a hose leads to a great deal of evaporation and runoff, which wastes more water, said city spokesperson Jocelyne Turner. The pilot-project trees will be located in parks, boulevards and along streets in Gloucester Southgate, Beacon Hill Cyrville, Rideau Vanier, Rideau Rockcliffe, Capital, Alta Vista and Gloucester South Nepean wards. The city paid $30,000 for 150,000 of the bags.

Hot car warning CST. RYAN STROTMANN Ottawa Police Service

This Treegator at city hall is one of the first of 1,500 watering bags that will be affixed to city trees as part of a three-year pilot project aimed at reducing water waste.

In the summer the compartment of a car can turn into an oven, with potentially deadly consequences. According to the Canada Safety Council, car temperatures can climb so rapidly that they overwhelm childrens’ ability to regulate their internal temperature. In a closed environment, the body can go into shock quickly, and circulation to the vital organs can fail. Leaving a window slightly open, or cracked, does little to prevent the temperature from rising to a dangerous level for children, vulnerable adults and pets. The Canada Safety Council says never to leave children unattended in vehicles and always to keep cars locked while in garages or driveways to prevent children from playing in them. Please remember that it is never safe to leave a child alone in a vehicle, even for a few minutes.

Low turnout at youth issues meeting jessica.cunha@metroland.com

There was a dismal turnout for the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre’s Youth Issues Panel on Tuesday, June 21. Only 13 people, which included councillors Marianne Wilkinson (Kanata North), Allan Hubley (Kanata South) and Shad Qadri (Stittsville), showed up at the Eva James Memorial Community Centre in Bridlewood to listen to experts on youth issues speak about preventative measures the community can take in the summer to discourage bad behaviour. The WOCRC services Kanata, Goulbourn and West Carleton. “It’s typical,” said Const. Ryan Strotmann about the poor attendance. “We complain.” This was echoed by Julie McKercher, the WOCRC’s community youth worker. Without something to complain about, people don’t typically show up to preventative meetings, she said. The meeting was intended to bring together the community and frontline workers dealing with youth issues. Acts like graffiti, vandalism, being out past curfew, underage drinking and drinking in public skyrocket during the summer months, said McKercher.

“It’s a huge, huge, huge issue,” said Jenifer Thomsen, a bylaw officer about underage drinking. Ottawa Bylaw deals with issues such as noise, fireworks on public property, graffiti, open air fire and people using parks after hours. From 11 p.m. to 5 a.m., no one is supposed to be in the parks, said Thomsen. “That’s not just youth, that’s everybody,” she said. “We will follow up with the parents if the child is 15 and under.” She said people should call by-law if they witness people using parks after hours, or to call the cops if it sounds dangerous. The same goes for loud parties. Bylaw will deal with the noise issue, the police deal with underage drinking. “You have to pick up the phone,” she said. “We react to complaints only.” Strotmann said if people want to see enforcement in their area, they have to call. Without putting in a formal complaint, the police and by-law will assume an area is safe. “If you’re not phoning, you’re not going to see us,” said Strotmann. “Summer is here, be smart and phone us, phone by-law.” He added people need to start locking up in order to deter thefts. “Lock your houses,” he said. “Lock your car doors. Don’t leave your win-

dows wide open.” TOOLKIT Crime Prevention Ottawa (CPO) provides a Neighbourhood Toolkit, an online resource to help build safer communities and prohibit crime from taking place. “Criminals don’t tend to like being in places where there are people doing pro-social things,” said Michael Justinich, business analyst with CPO. “Getting to know your neighbours, building community spirit helps prevent crime.” The toolkit offers tips and tricks to help residents build a sense of community where they live, how to get involved in their area and resources available. One community in east Ottawa was complaining about speeding on their crescent, said Justinich, so the councillor went out and spoke with every resident on that street. “People aren’t driving from Westboro to speed on a crescent in Orleans,” he said. “Everyone complains about speeding, well, talk to your neighbours.” For more information about the toolkit, visit www.crimepreventionottawa.ca/en/neighbourhood-toolkit.

RUST PROOFING CUSTOMER TESTIMONY By Manuel Champoux, Engineering Manager at Metropolitan Rust Proofing Inc.

Rust Proofing 101 - Lesson for Mrs. Borde and her son

419157

Recently, I witnessed something nice. A customer had entrusted her vehicle to one of our guys to have it treated. She was in front of our bay window with her eight year old son watching the treatment process. The little boy was continuously asking questions: “Mommy why do car mechanics do that? Why do they use hoses? Why...” As you probably understood, the youngster was at an age where children ask a lot of questions. The mother let me know that she was at her first visit with us, and didn’t know how to answer such questions. So I told her, “Follow me, we will take a closer look!” I brought them in the workshop.

DR. KERSTA PETERSON

There were many questions and not only from the youngster. The mother, Lyse-Anne Borde was particularly impressed. I gave them a little Rust Proofing 101 lesson and I explained everything: from the six points of our treatment process, to the steps taken for the treatment depending on the particularities of the vehicle. I also explained the importance of drilling holes in strategic locations, our specialized equipment, such as the spray guns that project the oil, and the ongoing training that is given to our technicians.

At the end, Mrs. Borde’s son made me laugh. He looked at me all seriously and said, “Rust proofing is very scientific”. This is true young man! Actually, it is scientific at Metropolitan Rust Proofing, the only company in Quebec that has been specializing in rust proofing for over 30 years now, and treated at least 150 000 vehicles annually. I told the boy, “Science and experience are irreplaceable... one day you’ll understand!”

O-Train service expansion gets the go-ahead LAURA MUELLER laura.mueller@metroland.com

A $59-million expansion of the O-Train system was approved by city council on June 22. The changes will add six new trains to the north-south line to increase the frequency of service from 15 minutes to eight minutes. The money will also go towards constructing two passing track. Since being introduced in 2001, the OTrain has almost reached its ridership capacity. Increasing the ridership capacity of

the trains is aimed at easing the pressure on the bus system during construction of the city’s east-west light-rail transit (LRT) line, which is expected to begin in 2013. Increasing the O-Train’s level of service will make the train the fastest commute option for a number of riders, including those who travel from the south end through the core. Transit commission chair Diane Holmes has also asked city staff to look into the costs of extending the O-Train line south to Leitrim. The transit commission will have a look at that report in the fall.

High-risk youth who end up in the justice system may end up in the Ottawa Carleton Youth Diversion Program (OCYDP). The program is intended to keep youth out of court and detention centres; instead they are assigned measures and sanctions appropriate to the crime committed. “There’s the notion that it’s just a slap on the wrist, it’s not,” said Tom Scholberg, manager with OCYPD. “They can still be held accountable outside the

court system.” If the youth doesn’t complete the sanctions given, then he or she is put back into the court system. “The whole point of our program is that we’re targeting the right kids,” said Scholberg. “The services are to keep kids from re-offending.” The panel stressed the importance of people take advantage of the resources offered to them. “We need to make sure people know the resources available,” said Justinich.

Take a step back in time at Pinhey’s Point COURTNEY SYMONS courtney.symons@metroland.com

Visit Pinhey’s Point Historic Site in Dunrobin and take a step back in time. Home to one of the oldest houses in Ottawa, the Pinhey estate called Horaceville stands almost exactly as it did when it was built in the early 1800s, down to some original wallpaper and wood trimming. Historians have tried to maintain the house as close to the original design as possible.

“Some people come hoping for it to look set up, but it isn’t, said Melissa Lansing, the education and interpretation program officer at Pinhey’s Point. “It makes the story a lot more tangible, and it makes people ask questions about the family who lived there.” Hamnett Pinhey was an English merchant who came to Canada to find a better life for his family – and to skip up a few rungs on the social ladder. In 1820, Pinhey began to build a log cabin, constructing addi-

tions until it became the house that stands today. Horaceville was completed in the 1840s after several add-ons, which can be seen from the river by the increasing window size as time went on. “People have been visiting here for ages,” Lansing said. “Visitors come and tell stories about when they used to visit the Pinhey family.” Ruth Pinhey was the last surviving family member to live in the house, and she passed away in 1971. She was quite the character, Lansing said, breeding dogs and selling turkeys. From May through September, the house is open to the public as a free museum. The 36 hectares of property along the water offer space to hike, take picnics and play, as well as a dock for boats to anchor on. On weekends, heritage-clothed staff offer guided tours and will take visitors to the nearby St. Mary’s Church where some of the Pinhey family is buried. Lansing said that all of these features are what make the site unique. “Pinhey’s Point is not just a park and it’s not just a museum,” she said. “It’s both.” Summer programming includes all sorts of activities for kids and families.

Pinhey’s Point Historic Site is not just a museum, and not just a park, but a combination of both. The Wonderkids program is for preschoolers who want to get involved with nature, and runs every Thursday in July. For kids a little older, between eight and 12, the Junior Naturalist Club teaches members about the plants and animals around them, running every Saturday in July.

City promotes safe cycling with Timmerman awards

The councillor raised approximately $1,200 for the Ottawa Humane Society’s groundbreaking campaign. was sprung from the joint. Smythe got involved because he had done some of the plumbing for the OHS and was asked to participate. “It’s a chance for people to see the new facility before we move the animals in,” Roney said. Aside from the pledges, some of the funds came from a silent auction — which included donated items such as a Ben Babelowsky print and a round of

golf at Mont Tremblant. The animals will all be moved into the new facility at 245 West Hunt Club Road on June 24. The building is more than three times the size of the older Champagne Avenue facility. Roney said the air quality is also largely improved, nearing that of hospitals. The animals will be housed in glass enclosures — something Roney said will help reduce their anxiety.

Dominion Day

Two Bruce Timmermans Cycling awards were presented this summer by Coun. Marianne Wilkinson, chair of Ottawa’s transportation committee, to Kathleen Wilker of the West Wellington BIA and the Pathway Patrol volunteer organization. His excellency, ambassador Wilhelmus Geerts of the very bike-friendly Kingdom of the Netherlands, opened the ceremony on May 31. Paul Dewar, MP for Ottawa-Centre, also attended. “My sincere thanks, on behalf of the City of Ottawa, to the inspiring award recipients,” said Coun. Wilkinson. “Congratulating them on their achievements is a wonderful way to end this year’s Bike to Work month. “Let’s make every month a Bike to Work month.” The 2010 Bruce Timmermans Individual Award was presented to Kathleen Wilker, a founder of a new advocates group called Hintonburg Cycling Champions. As its co-chair, she is spearheading efforts to identify cy-

cling champions in neighbourhood schools, to organize safe cycling events for kids, and to put on a bike parade in Hintonburg. The award for an organization went for the second time to Pathway Patrol. Since 1997, volunteers have spent thousands of hours keeping Ottawa’s pathways safe and clean. During their patrols, they address pathway users, offering them maps, pamphlets and guidance. They also encourage the wearing of helmets and pathway etiquette. Bruce Timmermans was a long-time cycling educator and advocate, an active member of the Ottawa Bicycle Club and a founding member of Citizens for Safe Cycling. His legacy lives on through the awards program, created by the City of Ottawa to recognize outstanding individuals and organizations encouraging others to cycle. The program is an important part of Ottawa’s TravelWise campaign.

The city’s coolest cats managed to raise top dollar for the Ottawa Humane Society earlier this month. More than 150 guests and 17 “top dogs” and “cool cats” turned out and raised $75,000 during the charity’s first bail or jail-type fundraiser as part of the groundbreaking campaign. “We were just blown away by the response,” said Bruce Roney, the executive director of the OHS. Even before the June 16 event, the groundbreaking campaign had garnered 85 per cent of the OHS goal of $9.5 million, according to Roney. The June 17 event called on pet lovers across the city to do time in a dog cage trying to raise money. Knoxdale-Merivale Coun. Keith Egli had managed to raise $1,200 part way through the night. “This is a great event and the new facility is going to really benefit the ward,” he said.

The outgoing president and chief executive officer of the Royal Ottawa Foundation for Mental Health says he is leaving the organization proud for having been able turn mental health care from one issue that was not talked about to one that right now is a front page issue. Tim Kluke, is leaving Royal Ottawa Foundation for Mental health to join the Ottawa Hospital Foundation to serve as president and CEO effective July 18. His appointment was announced at the Ottawa Hospital Foundation annual general meeting held on June 21. “I am thrilled and it is indeed a privilege to have been offered the position to lead the foundation,” Kluke said. He called the appointment a wonderful opportunity for him to build on what is now becoming a tradition of success at the Ottawa Hospital in terms of inspiring community for philanthropy to support quality health care and research right here in Ottawa. “What I look forward to do is to present a collaborative model with the community where we understanding what our donors interests are and march those up with the needs of the hospital in terms of achieving the best health care in Ottawa,” he said. Thanks to the remarkable generosity of citizens and corporations in Ottawa, the Ottawa Hospital Foundation celebrated another record year in fundraising achievements with donations resulting in more than $30million in revenues. “I am absolutely committed to success and representing the Ottawa Hospital and the Foundation in a professional manner and really excited with the opportunity to be a part of such an important institution for all of us,” Kluke said. For the past eight years at Royal Ottawa Foundation for Mental Health, Kluke has been credited for running impressive, high profile fundraising and awareness campaigns. “They are loosing me as a fundraiser but I will always be a mental health advocate,” he promised. Kluke is replacing retiring Susan Doyle who has served the foundation since its inception a decade ago. The board recognized Doyle for her leadership and dedication throughout her fundraising initiatives that raised some $220 million net during her tenure. Though thrilled to join the Ottawa Hospital foundation, Kluke expressed sadness that he was living his hard working team at the Royal Ottawa Foundation for Mental Health. “Without a question I will miss very committed volunteers I had the pleasure to work with who are committed to the issue of mental health care,” he said. “I will miss many of the patients who have become public spokespeople on behalf of the issue of mental health.” The Ottawa Hospital Foundation board also approved Greg Kane as chair of the foundation’s board. Kane is a partner with Stikeman Elliot law firm.

A new Ottawa landmark will “preserve, display and illuminate” Ottawa’s history, according to Mayor Jim Watson, who was on hand to officially open the new City of Ottawa Central Archives and Ottawa Public Library Materials Centre on June 27. Heritage and library supporters gathered to show off the state-of-the-art facility, which will bring both archives and library distribtion services under the same roof for the first time. That union was “rocky” at first, said Barrhaven councillor and library board chair Jan Harder, but it has become a good marriage, she said. The city put up half the money for the $40-million project, which still awaits an official commemorative name, with the balance coming from the province. The facility is LEED-silver certified, meaning it meets strict criteria of environmental sustainability. The location at 100 Tallwood Dr. in Centrepointe is right in the geographic centre of the

city, Harder said. The location will make it easier for the Ottawa Public Library to move the 70 tonnes of material it transfers to its 33 branches (and two bookmobiles) each week. The library catalogues and processes 220,000 items each year. The city investigated 44 sites before choosing the final location off Woodfroofe Avenue. Dignitaries at the event shared a few laughs over their swapped roles regarding the project: Ottawa West-Nepean MPP Bob Chiarelli was mayor of Ottawa when the push for a new archive began, but attended the opening as provincial infrastructure minister. Watson, meanwhile, had attended the October 2010 groundbreaking in that same role. A bright yellow wall and striking piece of public art beckon visitors to visit the building. One of the goals of the project is to introduce more residents to the work of the archives, Watson said. It should become a “hub of culture and learning,” added College Coun. Rick Chiarelli. With that in mind, the city invites residents to visit dur-

ing an open house on July 9 from noon to 4 p.m. In addition to tours of the building, visitors can meet artist Don Maynard, who designed the public art piece, titled Archive. Workshops on geneology and creating clay tablets, as well as other activities, will also be offered. The archive is open to visitors and researchers every day. Visit ottawa.ca/archives for more information. ARCHIVES BY THE NUMBERS • 16: kilometres worth of document records • 4: number of archive vaults • 95: the percentage of the collection consisting of official city documents • 3 million: the number of photos in the collection • 7: the percentage of the collection that has been moved to the new building • 5: years it will take to move the full collection • 140,000: boxes full of material in the entire collection • 106,000: the number of boxes the new facility can hold.

TREES ONTARIO The picturesque village of Dunrobin lies in a valley northwest of Ottawa. The area is covered with forests and farms dating from the early 1800’s along with streams and the escarpment that separates it from the Ottawa River. Residents of Dunrobin think they live in paradise – a green oasis in the Ottawa River valley. However, many people worry that their paradise is being threatened by the rapidly growing urban sprawl of metropolitan Ottawa and in particular the growth of nearby Kanata. What were once areas of beautiful trees are now rural subdivisions. The colour green is being replaced by concrete grey and asphalt black. Even with the five-year moratorium on further development in the area, residents are concerned about what the future may hold. Attendance at the local community association meetings is growing as residents in the area take a more active interest in protecting the environment and the place that they for generations have called home. Jessie Marshall is one such concerned resident and she is doing something different to ensure Dunrobin remains beautiful and green. After purchasing her 47-hectare property in 1999, Marshall embarked on an aggressive tree planting effort to create a lush green forest wall of resistance against the expanding urban sprawl. In the early 1800’s her land was given to James Dent Weatherley – a retired captain in the British army – in recognition of his service to his country. Marshall can imagine how breath-taking her property must have looked. She and her husband live in the stone house built on the property in 1872. They have gone to great lengths to artfully restore and preserve it. “We place a great deal of importance on the heritage designation on the house and our property,” said Marshall. “We feel like caretakers and believe it is our duty to maintain and enhance the property as best we can out of respect for its historical significance and richness. Restoring the stone house and planting lots of trees are two great ways to do that.” Eight years ago Marshall started by planting 2,200 trees in three rows running along the

roads that border the property. They offer privacy and provide a sound barrier from passing cars … not to mention the natural beauty. “My dad who lives with us did some research on the programs and incentives for landowners interested in planting trees,” said Marshall. “I had never done a tree planting on this scale so needed some guidance.” His research pointed her in the direction of Dan Cooper from the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority who along with Brian Anderson of the Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority and David Barkley, the forestry manager at the City of Ottawa, worked with Marshall to help her achieve her tree planting goals. Following the success of her first planting, Marshall planted 7,000 more trees near the front lawn of the property. This area is uneven and has a creek running through it that is fairly large during the annual spring run-off. It is land that is only suitable for trees. “Every time I wanted to plant more trees, I would call Dan who helped find the funding, develop the planting plan, secure the seedlings and assist with the plant. Dan and the entire team were so great to work with and the funding and support made it so easy and affordable,” said Marshall. It was shortly after this second planting that the Ontario government introduced the 50 million tree program that provides incentives and support to landowners looking to plant trees with the goal of planting 50 million trees in the province by 2020. The program is managed by Trees Ontario (www.treesontario.ca) who works with local conservation authorities, stewardship councils, First Nations communities and forestry experts as part of the largest notfor-profit tree planting partnership in North America. When Marshall called Cooper again in 2010 with another large planting request, he told her she would qualify for the funding and support provided through the 50 million tree program which meant all aspects of the tree planting process would be taken care of at a cost of only $0.15 per tree. “Seeing how little each tree was going to cost and how much support we were going to get from Dan and his team, it made it very easy to decide on planting an entire corner of our property with close to 8,000

What a beautiful forest it is going to be…like back in the days of Captain Weatherley,” added Marshall. And, she also knows her tree planting is a great way to keep Dunrobin green. It is an example of how others who fear their town is on the verge of being swallowed up by urban sprawl can preserve the green paradise. “Having grown up in Ottawa, I have seen Ottawa’s growth and expansion first hand. Residents here and in neighbouring communities have every right to be concerned. Here is something we can do,” said Marshall.

“We must all work together to do whatever we can to protect what we believe is most precious to us. By planting over 17,000 trees, I am trying to do my part for Dunrobin,” added Marshall. Looking ahead, she plans to attend local community meetings more regularly and to share her tree planting experiences with other people in the hope they follow suit. “If we all pitch in and plant more trees, we can make Dunrobin so beautiful, people won’t want to ruin it with any development,” added Marshall. That might very well be their best way to ensure Dunrobin

doesn’t become a paradise lost. “I would like to commend Jessie Marshall for her efforts to re-green the province and to celebrate and enhance the heritage of their home and property,” said Linda Jeffrey, Minister of Natural Resources. “I encourage others to get involved with the 50 million tree program to help fight climate change and protect Ontario’s biodiversity.” For more information about the 50 million tree program and other tree planting programs as well as local tree planting workshops to help you get started, visit: http://www.treesontario. ca/.

Group pushes for overhaul of city’s naming policy LAURA MUELLER laura.mueller@metroland.com

A group of concerned heritage advocates are calling on the city to fix its broken commemorative naming policy. In the wake of several recent controversies, the city’s arts, heritage and culture advisory committee is asking city council to overhaul the process it uses to choose who to honour by naming a road, park or building after a person. Brian Barrett is one of a dozen members of the public who sit on the committee to advise city councillors and staff about issues related to the area of

their expertise. He started to become concerned about how the city was deciding which names to apply to city facilities last year, when the issue of renaming Wellington Street came up. With that topic set to come back to city hall this fall, and in the wake of a controversial road renaming in Bells Corners and an outcry over a proposed name for the city archives, Barrett decided to lead the charge. “All of us on the committee feel very strongly that city staff and council and have ignored the policy that they already have,” Barrett said. “It’s not that they don’t have a policy, it’s just that it’s

not enforced and it can be wiped away at the whim of a councillor.” College Coun. Rick Chiarelli said he went around the naming policy for Lloyd Francis Boulevard in order to do more public consultation. The policy calls for 60 days, while the councillor drew the process out for about a year. If the policy was enforced consistently, there wouldn’t be much of a problem, Barrett said. The motion passed by the advisory committee recommends strengthening the enforcement of the existing policy, as well as some changes that would make the naming process more robust. Enforcement of the existing policy is something John Heney pleaded the advisory committee to push for. Heney, the president of Friends of the City of Ottawa Archives, waited more than a year to hear back after he suggested a name for the new archives building, which was eventually rejected, and had a difficult time getting his hands on a copy of the naming policy itself. The document is not posted on the city’s website. “If you don’t follow your own procedures, your policy means nothing,” Heney said to the arts, heritage and culture advisory committee during its June 20 meeting. The committee also had a few recommendations to improve the way streets, buildings and parks are named. Part of the issue is that the commemorative naming committee does not include members of the public, nor any history or heritage experts, Barrett said. The advisory committee would like to see heritage experts, the city archivist, representative from the Algonquins of Ontario and others added to the panel. Names shouldn’t simply be “something thrown up on a street sign,” Barrett said, they should mean something. Developers’ tendency to name new streets after family members or themes is particularly grating to Barrett. “There is enough history in this country that we don’t have to name our streets after wine. We’re not a winegrowing region – there is no connection to that,” Barrett said. “There is enough history in this country to be able to choose historic names.” Barrett said that too often, we forget the ceremonial aspect of heritage. “I think this just reinforces our history and help children and adults alike understand where we’re coming from

and honour the people that we need to honour.” The commemorative naming process could also be an opportunity to educate residents about local history, Barrett said. He suggested creating a list of possible names of historical significance that could be referred to when the city needs to name something. But

“I think this just reinforces our history and help children and adults alike understand where we’re coming from and honour the people that we need to honour.” Brian Barrett, committee member

a database would also serve as a repository of information about the history behind the name of a street or building. Another issue is the city’s practice of naming things after living people, something that groups such as the Ontario Geographical Names Board an the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada advise against. Barrett used a recent example to illustrate the risk. “It’s dangerous because … what happens if you named a park or some other building after the infamous colonel (Russell Williams),” Barrett said, referring to the Ottawa military pilot who was convicted of sexual assault and murder in 2010. “He was a model armed forces personnel, and then we find out he is a serial killer.” Advisory committee motions are just advice, but Barrett hopes a member of the city’s community and protective services, such as chair Mark Taylor, will push for the change at city hall. Taylor, the councillor for Bay Ward, said there are growing concerns at city hall surrounding how municipal facilities are named. “I don’t think we should be stepping around our policy,” he said, pointing to recent controversies over the naming of the city archives building and renaming Robertson Road in Bells Corners, which is now called Lloyd Fran-

Canada Day in Kanata serves up Open Sky JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Kanata-based band Open Sky is set to rock the stage at the Canada Day in Kanata event at Walter Baker Park. The musical group, which consists of Mike Boucher, lead vocals and guitar, Jared Boucher, vocals and bass, Nathan Boucher, on drums and vocals and Jonathan Felske on lead guitar, is looking forward to the open-air concert on July 1. “We’ve always enjoyed playing in front of a large crowd,” said Nathan. “Anytime we get a chance to get up on stage and do our thing, it’s always a lot of fun.” He said having the chance to play the same show as Canadian Juno-award winning band Sloan is exciting. “The opportunity to open for a band such a Sloan is great, it’s huge for us.” The three Boucher brothers and Felske have been playing together for about 10 years, said Nathan, adding they’re looking forward to meeting the crowds at the event.

“We try to include the audience as much as possible,” he said. “We’d love for people to come by and meet us afterwards.” The rock band played the main stage at Kanata’s Canada Day event a few years back and the guys, who all live in Glen Cairn, are looking forward to playing some new material. “It’s going to be a great time,” said Nathan. “We like to have a lot of fun with our shows.” Open Sky will take to the Urbandale stage around 6 p.m. ALBUM RELEASE Open Sky is hosting an album release party the day before Canada Day at the Community Bible Church in Stittsville. It will be the band’s first fulllength album. “We’ve been working on this album over the last year and a half,” said Nathan. “We’ve been working on it so hard and so long it’s so rewarding.” The album, titled Until The Sun Comes Out Again, has a

Archives Canada film preservation centre opens JENNIFER MCINTOSH

The opening of the Library and Archives Canada’s Nitrate Film Preservation Centre on June 21 proved the old adage that a picture is worth a thousand words. The new $14.7-million building on the government’s Shirley’s Bay campus will house 5,575 reels film made of cellulose nitrate, dating back to 1912. Some of the famous titles include: Back to God’s Country (1919) and Churchill’s Island — the first Canadian film to win an Oscar (1941). The facility also boasts 600,000 nitrate photograph negatives. Since 1973 the films and photos were stored at the former Rockcliffe Air Base, but the facility wasn’t up to the fire safety code and didn’t meet standards for proper preservation. Daniel Caron, deputy head and library archivist of Canada, said that there is room for the collection to grow by as much as 25 per cent. “We know that no one is producing things on that kind of film anymore, but people may find old photos in their attic and we want to have somewhere to store them,” he said. The film and negatives are stored in vaults that are kept at a constant 2 C. The vaults feature a kind of cubby-hole style layout out. “In between the shelves is also insulated to prevent fire,” said Mario Gasperitti, manager of strategic accommodation for Library and Archives Canada.

Staff show how film can deteriorate over time. The vaults are also fitted with sprinklers and a blow out panel due to the highly combustible nature of nitrate film. Each vault is constantly monitored and staff can look at the readings to make sure the airflow and temperatures remain constant. The walls are insulation and there is a lot of poured concrete and synthetic rubber floors—something Gasperitti said saved money and helped to ensure dust wasn’t flying around damaging the collection. The facility also features a green roof, which helps it to be energy efficient and stay cool. The hallway outside the vault is 10 C to make a smooth transition to viewing

rooms. Requested materials are shipped to the Library and Archives Canada building on Wellington Street, but it is not common practice due to the volatile nature of the material and possible damage to the negatives and film. Bob McIntosh, director general with the archives care of collection branch, said that staff members are aggressively digitizing the most popular types of images. “Our website gets a lot of traffic,” McIntosh said, adding military images are very popular. Scanning technology also provides hope to negatives that were previously thought lost, allowing staff to pull detail from some film that has deteriorated.

The West Ottawa Soccer Warriors won the 2011 Ottawa Icebreaker Soccer Tournament (boys under 17) held in Ottawa from June 4 to 5.

Warriors win an Icebreaker WEST OTTAWA WARRIORS The West Ottawa Warriors captured gold in the 2011 Ottawa Icebreaker Soccer Tournament (boys under 17) held in Ottawa from June 4 to 5. The tournament didn’t start off well for the Warriors, with the West Ottawa team finishing last in their pool during the first day of the tournament with a 2-2 record. The Warriors still had a chance to get to the final, but now had to win three consecutive games against higher seeded and as a result better rested teams the next day. On Sunday, June 5, the Warriors went to work and won their first game 2-0 against the Cataraqui Clippers with some beautiful possession soccer. The Warrior collected two more wins,

defeating the Ottawa Royals 3-0 and the Carleton Place Soccer Club 1-0 in the semifinal. In the final, Cumberland United came at the Warriors with an energetic initial onslaught which the Warriors were able to withstand. Then, the Warriors settled into their possession game, patiently created chances, built momentum and 15 minutes before the end were rewarded with the final 1-0 score. The Warriors continued to control the ball and did not allow Cumberland back in the game. After the whistle, the referee complemented the Warriors for their fair play and sportsmanship. During the tournament, the Warriors showed a great defensive team effort and recorded seven shutouts in eight games. 471631
