News - More than $1 million needed to move two Sussex Drive heritage homes was approved by city councillors, despite some objections. City council signed off on $1.2-million to pay to move the Lowertown home and a rowhouse along a curved section of Sussex Drive between Cathcart and Bolton streets back away from the road to ensure they won’t have to be demolished when it is widened over the next two years. During a planning committee meeting on June 25, Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley wondered why it was necessary to pay to move both

houses back into the lot. “The houses themselves don’t have any special status,” he said. “So do we really need to move and pay for them?” The city’s heritage planner Sally Coutts said while the homes are not individually designated as having heritage value, they are part of Lowertown’s heritage conservation district. The two buildings have been deemed to have equal value and must be moved in tandem if they are to retain the “street fabric,” she said. Nancy Miller-Chenier, head of the Lowertown Community Association’s heritage committee, said moving the homes diminishes their heritage value. See RESIDENTS, page 29

Vanier Farmers Market cancelled just ahead of 2013 launch Shrinking revenues, low merchant, resident participation to blame, BIA says Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - The Vanier Farmers Market has been canceled for the 2013 season. The decision was made June 26 by the Quartier Vanier Merchants Association’s board, citing loss of money, limited interest from residents and low farmer participation as the reasons. The executive director of the merchants association

said she wishes the business improvement area didn’t have to go through this. “This is a sad day for Quartier Vanier,” she said. The market opened in the summer of 2008, offering residents in the area a place on Montreal Road to purchase fresh produce. Just last week, Valiquet discussed the 2013 famers market with Ottawa East News, when plans were still in place for the market to start up July

13. In a letter addressed to market supporters, Valiquet expressed her disappointment and sadness about the news. “Our family purchased our vegetables from the Vanier Farmers Market almost every Saturday over the last five years,” Valiquet wrote. “We travelled from the west end of the city to come here on weekends, because we so enjoyed seeing all of you and the general ambiance that a

market creates in a community. I have very fond memories of our market days.” The executive director went on to say the decision was made because of the thousands of dollars in BIA subsidies each year that ensured the market continued. Bands, buskers, Franko the Clown, face painters, barbecues and a petting zoo are just a few of the events the market offered each Saturday in the summer and early fall. An annual tourtiere competition even drew more than 1,200 people the first year the asso-

ciation held the event. “We had lots of fun and the community loved it. Our elected officials attended events and supported the market,” Valiquet wrote. It has only been in the last two years that the market’s numbers went down and sales began to suffer. Getting the market going this year had been difficult, starting with the market’s location; the Scotiabank parking lot was no longer going to be made available. See BOARD, page 12

NCC gives up bridge battle Federal agency won’t spend more to study interprovincial crossing after province backs out laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - The National Capital Commission has pulled the plug on a proposed new bridge to Gatineau after spending six years and almost $7 million studying it. NCC chairman Russell Mills made the announcement at a June 27 board meeting, 10 days after the provincial government announced it would not support a bridge at the preferred location – Kettle Island – nor the other top two locations identified by the study. “It is the province that made the decision to pull the plug,� Mills said. He said the NCC would have given up on the study earlier if it had been clear that the province never intended to support any of the top three routes that have been identified since 2009. The NCC and ministries of transportation for Ontario and Quebec had planned to jointly spend a total of $1.6 million dollars to finish up the study in the next month. The NCC’s half-million portion doesn’t represent significant savings, Mills said. Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury said the NCC stepping back further bolsters the Ministry of Transportation’s responsibility to address the issue of transport trucks travelling through his ward en route to Gatineau. “It puts the pressure back onto the MTO and the province,� he said. “It’s clear now that the MTO needs to find a way to connect the 417 to the 400-series highway on the Quebec side, which is the 50.� Fleury said he sees a “political willingness� to address the truck is-

sue now that the province has flatly rejected a bridge. The local councillor requested a meeting with Transportation Minister Glenn Murray to discuss how the province plans to solve the truck issue. “The ball is in their court,� he said. On June 17, Murray announced that Ontario will not provide funding for a bridge proposal that would cross at Kettle Island and make use of the Aviation Parkway to connect bridge traffic with Highway 417. Murray said the province “listened very carefully� to the public. He said the Liberal caucus, including local MPP’s Madeleine Meilleur and Phil McNeely, were unanimous in turning down any involvement with the Kettle Island plan. Meilleur called the provincial decision a victory for residents. “My thanks go out to the community,� she said. “You were all there at every meeting.� Residents were concerned about the additional traffic the bridge 7,&2

Laura Mueller

would generate on the Airport Parkway, which representatives from the Montfort Hospital worried would slow down ambulances. Rideau-Rockcliffe Coun. Peter Clark represents residents in Manor Park who would have been most affected by a new bridge at Kettle Island. He said the NCC’s announcement shows that “reality is setting in.� As far as the NCC’s role in solving the truck issue in the future, Fleury said “we’ll see.� Mills was not receptive to discussing the possibility of a tunnel to get trucks out of Ottawa’s core. “Unfortunately, there is no solution to the truck problem without a bridge,� Mills said. “To us now, it is unacceptable.� The NCC considered a tunnel at the very beginning of the interprovincial crossings study, but that idea was dismissed as too expensive and not feasible. More recently, Mayor Jim Watson and city councillors have revisited the possibility of looking at a tunnel for trucks.

Targeted rezonings anger, confuse residents that a number of new homes that don’t conform to the new rules have already been built along the canal. The planning committee approved a “grace period” until September 2014 for existing applications that have been filed to develop properties under the old zoning. That seemed to satisfy planning lawyer January Co-

Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Targeted rezonings the city undertook to ease community concerns were not met with universal support at planning committee on June 25. The first two rezonings proposed by the city’s newly minted zoning consistency team angered some residents and confused others. Carol Vranjes, who represents the owner of one property on Greenbank Road that was rezoned, called the exercise a waste of money for the city, even though her client will benefit financially. “I know the (height) increase is a benefit to us,” she said. “(But) this can still be challenged by developers … So what has really been accomplished with the work undertaken?” Attendance at meetings leading up to the rezoning of 171, 173 and 175 Greenbank Rd. was very low, Vranjes said, because there is no plan for development there so neighbours don’t see the issue as urgent. She urged the city to spend money on more pressing issues. The rezoning means those properties on Greenbank can be redeveloped with buildings of up to four storeys in height instead of three storeys. In response to concerns expressed by neighbours backing onto the site, the city boosted setbacks in the backyard to 10 metres instead of the usual 7.5 m. That bothered the Coptic church, which owns one of the properties and has expressed an interest in building a retirement home there. The Greenbank zoning study was instigated by the approval of a five-story, 61-unit apartment building nearby at Greenbank and

hen, who told the committee her client had already applied for a building permit after buying a lot at the corner of Leonard Street a few weeks ago. Her client was unaware of any potential changes to the zoning, Cohen said. “We do take issue with the notice,” she said. “There were a series of meetings with a se-

lect group … and then there were public meetings.” Cohen was referring to a working group of a small group of affected residents who met regularly to discuss the zoning with Nancy Meloshe, the planning consultant hired by the city. Meloshe presented options and preferred changes at a public meeting for all residents.

A controversial rezoning of this property at 9 Rosedale Ave. kicked off a process to rezone all properties along Colonel By Drive in Old Ottawa South to restrict density. Craig Henry Drive. The focused zoning study for 171, 173 and 175 Greenbank Rd. will set the stage for a larger discussion about the potential for denser development along arterial roads as the city updates its Official Plan. COLONEL BY DRIVE

Similarly, residents expressed concerns about changes to zoning for lots along Colonel By Drive in Old Ottawa South. Barry Hobin, a well-known local architect and owner of one of the 39 affected properties, said he was completely unaware of the proposal to limit development potential on his lot. “I have had no notice whatsoever of this event. I happened to find out by accident,” he said. “If you’re going to rezone my property, I would expect the notice.” The changes would limit new buildings to nine metres heigh instead of the current 11-m limit. Most of the

homes in the area are around 7.5 m tall, but some new homes are taller. The changes also impose a heritage overlay, which restricts some redevelopment, including the size of additions on the rear of homes. “This is essentially a community that was willing to impose restrictions on itself,” Capital Coun. David Chernushenko said. Chernushenko was surprised to hear some residents were unaware of the zoning study. He said he personally delivered flyers to each home and included it in his newsletters and on his website, and there were public meetings and media coverage of the issue. In the report to planning committee, Chernushenko is quoted saying the process represents “a model of community involvement.” Hobin said he didn’t understand why the city would change the rules now, given

Glebe wants more consultation on construction staging Concerns of contamination, use of green space needs to be addressed: association board Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - The Glebe Community Association wants an extended consultation process ahead of the expansion of Mutchmor Public School this fall. The association voted on the motion at a meeting on June 25, which calls on the public school board to hold a community consultation on the issue of turning the ďŹ eld at Mutchmor into a staging zone during the construction. Education committee chairwoman Cindy Kirk said the group just wants to have the ability to participate in the consultation, adding so far, there has been a lack of consultation on this issue. The school board facilities manager Michael Clarke and superintendent of facilities Peter Wright did meet with Mutchmor school council in early June to discuss turning a portion of the ďŹ eld across the road from the school into a staging area for construction trailers, materials and parking for construction workers. This would be necessary, Wright said, because there is no practical location on-site that could be used and

a construction company would need a place close to the school for staging purposes. At the time, the council asked the school board to still try to ďŹ nd other options in an attempt to save the ďŹ eld. Clarke said the board would continue to keep the conversation open, but the details of the construction staging could only be deďŹ ned once a construction company has been picked. Kirk said the committee has not had a chance to meet with the school board, and this motion is to formally ask the board to keep them in the loop. Over the past six months, the community association, the school council and the school board have been discussing aspects of the project to expand Mutchmor to accommodate for more students in the fall of 2014. The community had already fended off an attempt to turn the ďŹ eld into a parking lot for teachers in late May and the latest revelations did not sit well with the association’s education committee or with the school council. Kirk had proposed two motions at the meeting. The ďŹ rst, which was voted down, was to request an ex-

Only three board members voted for the motion, with the remaining members turning it down. “The big battle was to stop the parking and we won,â€? Brian Mitchell reasoned at the meeting. “I think we are crossing the line with contacting the ministry for what we understand will just be for a couple of months.â€?

Clarke did say the staging area would be taken down once the expansion structure is built. Construction supposed to begin in September, but the board is still waiting on approvals from the Ministry of Environment to get underway - a further request from the community, one board member noted, could hold up that process even more. Clarke did tell the school council the board does hope to get those approvals by early July so the project can be put out to

tender at the end of the month. The expansion will be a total of 789 square metres and construction will take between 11 and 14 months. The project is expected to cost $7 million and would allow the Glebe school to house more students as part of a plan to deal with overcrowding in downtown schools. The “switch,� as it is commonly called, would see programs and populations moved between First Avenue Public School and Mutchmor.

Community considers future of Beechwood’s St. Charles Church Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - Former parishioners, designers and other members of the community gathered for a two-night workshop on what could potentially become of St. Charles Church on Beechwood. The workshop began at Museoparc with a round table discussion about what St. Charles Church was and what it could become. The process was coorganized by the Vanier Community Association, Museoparc, Prototype D and consulting firm Be Interactive over two evenings, June 26 and 27, as a way to take a proactive approach to what the community would like to see happen with the property. The process involved participants learning about the history of the church, participating in a discussion of what the church means to the community and what they would like to see happen with the property. “We are here, we are passionate about St. Charles, so we are the right people for this process,” said Roch Landry, facilitator for the evening. The church was built in 1908 and for more than 100 years it welcomed Catholic faith every Sunday until it closed its doors three years ago. The room was filled with passionate residents, many of whom expressed the desire to leave the building as it is. The consultation featured a mix of residents, a number of them long-time Vanier residents who grew up attending the church and who vocally disapproved of losing part of the neighbourhood’s history. The other participants were residents who had moved to the neighbourhood recently and some who said they did not live in the area, but were thinking about making the move. “I think we need to open ourselves up to change,” said Barbara Spanton, an area resident. All agreed the history of the church was important to them and most wished to see the area become some-

thing like a market square with lots of community space available. The visioning exercise first began in February, when the not-for-profit architect and design firm Prototype D joined forces with Carleton University architecture students and the Vanier Community Association to begin working on a development plan for the property -- with or without the participation of church officials. A number of those who attended the first night returned for the second, which took place at New Edinburgh Square on June 27. There were also a number of new faces at this meeting, all excited to start getting to work and envisioning what could become of the property. This evening was much more hands on, with sticky notes, crayons and modelling clay to help design a new vision for the church. The property has not been sold and according to Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury, there are no prospective buyers at this time. Some residents questioned where all this visioning would go and how to ensure what is being done on these two evenings will be considered by a developer. Alford said everything from both evenings was being recorded, so his

company can go back to the office and create a plan that encompasses everything people presented at the meetings. “For us this is just the start. At the end of August we will pull together a vision that will capture what you want for St. Charles,” Alford said. “It will then become a tool for you to use in the future.” Mike Bulthuis, president of the Vanier Community Association, said his group will also continue the conversation, in hopes that any developer will listen to this vision. “Our goal is to facilitate the conversation and sustain the conversation,” he said. “Our hope is that they (a developer) will be interested in what comes out of here.” Fleury also said his office would take the workshop results to any developer who approaches his office. “We are being unique. We are being pro-active,” Fleury said. There is no ask tonight from a developer, but we are asking ourselves what we want.” He added that he already understands there are three main issues: the bell tower should remain in some capacity; the development should be mixed-use or

Bulthuis added the planning process is more about generating a conversation so as a community they are ready when a developer approaches them. “Where is it going to go, we don’t know, but we will be ready,” Bulthuis said.

Local acts make Bluesfest great

O

ttawa is spoiled for festivals each summer. Dragon Boats hit the waters of Mooney’s Bay. Jazz drifts through down-

town. Countless other events draw people each weekend, with Canada Day leading the way. On LeBreton Flats, blues – and an amalgam of other sounds – draws thousands of Ottawans and visitors to this city. We’re lucky to live in a city that hosts the second largest blues festival in North America (Chicago holds top spot). While the headline acts at Bluesfest garner the most attention, it’s local acts that make up the majority of the entertainment. They may play earlier in the day than B.B. King or the Tragically Hip, but every one of the local musicians is really what makes Bluesfest work. Without the input of Ottawa artists, Bluesfest couldn’t fill multiple stages for the festival’s 10 days. The payoffs from this commitment to the local community are immeasurable. Not only does Ottawa get an economic boost as thousands of visitors arrive to take in the shows, the

local musicians get a chance to share their material with large crowds of music fans. For the Ottawa entertainers, there’s the added bonus of getting to open a stage for national and international stars they might never have the chance to meet at any other time. The RBC Ottawa Bluesfest always draws a few grumbles for straying from its blues roots, but the crowds that arrive each year suggest the lineups meet with mass approval. The growing list of genres that can be heard each year also means more and more local acts can try to snag an invitation to play. And every note – in some way – can be traced back to the blues, because it’s the root of almost every North American musical style. And because Bluesfest draws such large crowds, ticket prices can often be much more affordable than an arena show by one headlining act. Once you have a ticket for that famous act, you’re also able to arrive earlier or stay later to take in everything the music fest has to offer. Including all those local acts. If you’ve never spent a lazy Saturday or Sunday wandering between six musical stages, taking in unknown acts and finding real gems, you’ve been missing out. Grab your lawn chair and sunscreen. And have fun right here in Ottawa.

We’ll miss having our own man in Toronto

T

oo bad Dalton McGuinty had to leave politics in such an awkward way because he actually was a pretty good premier until things started to go a bit weird toward the end. It would be an exaggeration to say he will be impossible to replace, because his replacement seems to be doing all right so far. But in one respect, Kathleen Wynne cannot replace McGuinty. She is not from Ottawa. McGuinty is. That meant that for the 10 years McGuinty was premier we had a premier who knew that Ottawa existed. Knowing that Ottawa exists is not as easy as you might think. The government of Ontario resides in Toronto and Toronto is a needy place. Amplified by Toronto’s rather noisy media, the city’s needs are all too evident. To remember that Ottawa exists, it helps to be from here and come back on weekends. On those visits, a premier can leave behind Toronto’s traffic, its urban sprawl, its overcrowded schools and understaffed hospitals and notice our traffic, our urban sprawl, our overcrowded schools and our understaffed hospitals. No matter what is going on in the 416, the premier will be reminded of the Queensway,

and it began to appear that the Rideau Carleton Raceway might in fact survive. But being from Toronto, Wynne gets overexposed to all that Toronto stuff. Lately she has been musing about improving the provincial government’s relationship with the city. “I’ve prided myself and ourselves on being able to rebuild that relationship,� Wynne said, as reported by the Globe and Mail. “It pains me that it’s not as good as it maybe has been, and I hope that we’ll be able to rebuild those relationships.� This can hardly be seen as good news. Toronto’s municipal leadership being what it is, rebuilding those relationships is going to take most of the time the premier has available. It is also going to take a lot of money, given the rather expensive list of things Toronto needs – such as subways. And while that is going on, the rebuilding process with Toronto, what happens to Carling Avenue and the Queensway and OC Transpo? Not to mention light rail, which it sometimes seems we will never get. Would it help if Ottawa had a more colourful mayor? Not meaning any disrespect to Jim Watson, but his demeanour does not demand attention, it does not cry out to the provincial government that if Ottawa does not get what

it wants he will hold his breath until it does. Other Ontario cities have mayors that. So maybe Watson needs to develop a few rough edges, become colourful, learn how not to keep his temper in check. As soon as he does that, he becomes a problem and a problem needs to be solved. Right now, Watson is not a problem for Queen’s Park. That was OK when an Ottawa guy was premier. But now, Watson not being a problem means Ottawa is not a priority. Can Jim Watson learn how to become a problem? Maybe. You should never underestimate a politician.

o one likes to be told what to do. Kids get annoyed by it. Adults detest

it.

And there are some, like me, who always do exactly the opposite of what we’re told. I like to think of it as a healthy disrespect for authority. It’s the main reason I went to journalism school. In fact, I believe queries about this should be on the journalism school application forms: “Do you have a healthy disrespect for authority?” “No? You may be applying for the wrong program.” “Yes? Automatic entry with full scholarship.” So much do I hate to be told what I “should” do that I even reject the little voice of authority in my own head. I’m sure I’m not alone in this. In fact, I realized

Capital Muse recently that others among you must have this handicap. Why else are we not all sipping Evian hourly, eating loads of veggies, exercising daily and basically just doing all the things we’re told we “should” do to lead healthy lives? Because rules are made to be broken. And I don’t know about you, but when that voice of authority speaks in my head, I just crave potato chips and dry rosé. I started my own fitness routine in early April. After working like a dog all winter,

sitting at my desk, tipping the scale and living on a steady diet of cortisol spikes, it was time to make a change. In the first month, I forced myself to meditate on the voices of my doctor, my husband, my mom, my business coach, and even my six-year-old: “You must exercise, sleep, eat well and get outside more.” It wasn’t working. At every moment of weakness – let’s say I was feeling too tired to work out one evening – I’d think about those authoritative voices and do

something self-defeating like open a bottle of wine or take on a new magazine assignment. To override that inner authority, rather than try to discipline myself enough to listen to that overbearing voice, I decided to try making the inner voice my friend. (After all, healthy disrespect for authority and unhealthy tendency to give into peer pressure often go hand-inhand). Former church minister John Izzo writes about the importance of “mindfulness” in his book, The Five Secrets You Must Discover Before You Die. He recommends setting one goal at a time and keeping a reminder note in an obvious place like your pocket or wallet. I did this. My note says: “Your best body.” It’s a bit cryptic and

people who do goal-setting exercises would probably criticize its vagueness. But the note is just a reminder, not the actual goal spelled out with all the blood, guts and determination it’s going to take me to achieve it. So I carry this note around with me. And I take it out and I read it throughout the day. I’ve been doing this for eight weeks. It’s my pal. When I need to make any one of hundreds of decisions throughout the day, I take it out and read it. What’s the result? I’m working out two hours daily, eating healthier than ever, forgoing weekday wine. And the best part is I’ve lost 16 pounds, which is four pounds away from the goal I set for September. Skeptical? Well, here’s how being mindful works. The other day, after waking at 5 a.m. with a baby, running around all day doing errands, cooking food and typing articles, the boys’ twohour round trip to swimming lessons had done me in. Any

thoughts of getting in a workout were out of the question. Tired, more than hungry, all I wanted to do was toss a grocery store pizza in the oven, drink a glass of wine and go to bed. But I happened to make a quick stop at my friend Kay’s place. She mentioned she was going to the gym after supper. I got home and took the note out of my pocket. I thrust the pizzas at my husband and said, “I need 30 minutes alone in the basement.” I put the TV on, stretched, got on my exercise bike and pedaled my butt off for 12 kilometres. By the time I got upstairs, the wine was open and the pizzas cooked. My carb-craving exhaustion gone, I showered, drank about a gallon of water, and then had a single piece of pizza and some spinach and edamame salad. Oh yeah, and a guilt-free glass of dry rosé – all because of that single, friendly voice that detests authority as much as me.

Chess club mixes teaching, fun at Assumption Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

Community - Assumption School is thinking three moves ahead with one of its after-school clubs. More than 40 students from grades 4, 5 and 6 participated in the end of the year chess club tournament on June 25. Principal Luce Paradis started the program two years ago as a means to get her students thinking in a different way. “This is abstract thinking, which is hard to grasp, and this is how we are grasping it.” Brad Thomson heads the Ottawa chapter of Chess’N Math, located on at Strategy Games on Bank Street. The organization has been working with Assumption, attending its chess club meetings to teach the students how to play. This chess tournament is unlike others, with laughter, clapping, and cheering going on throughout. Thomson said it is not about being serious; it’s about learning and having fun. “Playing chess has been proven to help improve a student in their studies,” he said. Thomson and teaching assistant Natasha McRae helped Paradis run the tournament and brought chess

McRae, who will be attending teachers college in the fall, said she loves working with Chess’N Math because she gets to watch her students grow into amazing chess players. “It’s all about teaching one piece

at a time, then once you have all the pieces down, the strategy comes out,” McRae said. The students who participated in the tournament sat on the gym floor while they played, some taking out an opponent in less then five minutes, others having a longer battle of

wits to win. Paradis said the Grade 6 students, who have been playing since last year, have become incredibly serious. One teacher added when her students are finished with an in-class assignment, they ask if they can

play. “This is a game that really promotes a higher intellect and so many of my students are succeeding on their own levels -- it’s great,” Paradis said. The funding for the club comes from the Catholic school board, which has allowed the school to purchase enough chess sets to accommodate the students. Paradis said she has played with a number of students during their Friday meetings and has lost to more than one student. “It makes me proud, not sad that I have been beat,” she said. “I’m not good at this game - the kids are better at it then me. You always have to think three moves ahead, and here they are thinking, and learning - it’s amazing.” The program is expanding, with more schools in the board signing up to take part in the fall, Thomson said. Paradis said she is currently working on the school hosting a neighbourhood-wide tournament in the fall. “It’s going to be aimed at anyone who wants to play chess,” she said. Thomson said his organization is available for any school that is interested in signing up and can contact him at ottawa@chess-math.org. or by calling 613-565-3662.

Plans afoot to unleash new dog park on Vanier Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - A new dog park for pet owners in Vanier is closer to becoming a reality thanks to the efforts of the city and local community association. An open house held at Richelieu Vanier Community Centre on June 24 showed residents the current allowed dog usage in Vanier parks before identifying two potential dog park options: Richelieu Park and Riverain Park. “We have two options and right now we are asking people if they agree or disagree with it,� said Christine Hartig, the city’s support officer for bylaw services. Hartig and her staff have been working with the Vanier Community Association for several months since the organization sparked this initiative in early September. Leading the effort on behalf of the association is vice president Marc Lafontaine who said to finally designate a park, even if only for certain hours of the day, would be a huge win for dog owners in the community. “This is really important. This is all about reaching a considerate and fair compromise for all residents in Vanier,� he said. “Right now we can’t go anywhere and that’s not fair.� Lafontaine said the number of dog owners in Vanier is growing and the closest parks are New Edinburgh’s Stanely Park and Rockcliffe Park’s the Rockeries.

MICHELLE NASH/METROLAND

Marc Lafontaine, Tina Bradford and Tom Ryan attend an open house about designating a dog park in Vanier. All three dog owners said the area desperately needs a place for the pets to roam free. The three-hour open house drew in a steady crowd of both for and against the idea.Those who fear unruly dogs running amok once a park is designated, Lafontaine said, should know part of the goal is to keep dog owners from using other parks in the community. “There are people who are afraid of dogs, but responsible dog owners will not bring their dogs to a park if there is a risk,� Lafontaine said. “What we are trying to do is create an area where dog owners can go.�

Lafontaine added by giving a particular park a designation, those who are concerned for their safety, their children, or seniors who feel uncomfortable can avoid that particular dog park, or if the park is only designated a dog park at off hours, to avoid the park at those times. “We are the only neighbourhood that does not allow dogs in a park,� Lafontaine said. “And so there are dog owners who are going to all the parks because there is no designation.

This process will stop that.� Currently the city has reviewed all the parks in the community to determine which park would best suit an off-leash or hour-designated off-leash park. All 11 parks were looked at and following the city’s dogs-in-parks designation policy, Hartig and her staff categorized the existing parks based on size, proximity to schools and community centres and facilities. The parks were then given points

based on the potential to become a dog park. The more points a park receives, the less compatible it is considered with an off-leash designation. Of the 11 parks, Richelieu and Riverain received the lowest points. Whether one or both these parks receive full off-leash, on-leash, or timed designation still needs to be decided. Those in support said they would like to see both parks available as options to take their dogs, as they sit on opposite sides of Vanier. Vanier resident Tina Bradford attended and grabbed extra comment forms to hand out to fellow dog owners in the community. She said she would love to have a place she can comfortably take her dog. The next steps for the city is to gather all the comments made either at the open house or from emailed comment forms. “It’s up to the community,� Hartig said. “If you don’t respond, you don’t get a say. It’s important for everyone who cares to comment on this process because the majority rules.� Because of the late timing of the open house, the city has extended the comment period for this issue, allowing comments to be received until Sept. 16. Hartig added if the community requests it, another open house or public consultation may be held late summer or early fall. Comment forms can be obtained by emailing Simon Belanger at simon. belanger@ottawa.ca or by visiting the Vanier Community Association’s website at vanier-association.com.

Water main work to start soon on Montreal, Ogilvie roads Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

News - Work to replacing existing east-end water mains with larger pipes will soon begin. The first phase will be along Ogilvie and Montreal roads, from Blair Place to highway 174. Montreal Road construction will run from July to December 2013, with Ogilvie expected to run from May to December 2014. Engineers working on the project have completed the proposal for road closures, but specific road closures and dates will be affected by the construction process.

The contract for the work hasn’t been awarded yet. Construction on Montreal Road is expected to start at the end of July, and will see work done in portions, starting closer to highway 174 and working west. Engineer Brian Harris, who was hired by the city to work on the project, said there will usually be two lanes open westbound, and one lane open eastbound. Work that requires the westbound off-ramp to be closed will be done on weekends, and will see modifications that allow vehicles to temporarily use the bus lane to exit the highway at

Montreal Road, he said. Work within the Shefford Road intersection will also be done during off-peak hours to minimize disruption for business park users and commuters. “Will it impact traffic? Yes, it’s construction,” Harris said. Work along Ogilvie Road, which is expected to happen once the section along Montreal road has been completed, will see one lane eastbound and one westbound lane open. Plans for work along Youville Drive haven’t been completed yet, and work isn’t planned to start until May 2014. It’s expected to be finished

by December 2014. Project manager Steven Courtland said there will be display boards indicating upcoming road closures, so there won’t be any surprises. Because of the April 2011 water ban in Riverside South, Barrhaven and Manotick, residents have been understanding about the work that needs to be done, Beacon Hill-Cyrville Coun. Tim Tierney said. In 2011, a broken water main on Woodroffe Avenue caused problems when there wasn’t sufficient water remaining for the area’s residents. City parks and soccer fields weren’t serviced, and residents and businesses

couldn’t water gardens, fill swimming pools, or wash vehicles with city water. The existing water mains were installed in Gloucester and Orléans before they amalgamated with the city of Ottawa. Only a few residents attended an open house at the Earl Armstrong Arena on June 24 to learn about which sections of road would be closed and the water main work. More details will be available once plans have been made for the Youville Drive section of pipe replacement. Information about the water main replacement is also available at ottawa.ca/en/orleans-watermain-link.

Board to discuss new events to replace market Continued from page 1

Valiquet said the BIA worked hard to find another suitable location, acquiring the Belisle Chevrolet and Cadillac parking lot as its new site, with the BIA saying they hoped to grow the market even bigger because of the new-found space. But it was lack of interest from farmers which was the final straw for the board, who pulled the plug because they could only confirm

five farmers by June 26. “You can’t run a farmers market with only five farmers,” Valiquet said. The reason the association was not able to recruit more farmers this year was simple, Valiquet said. “Farmers told us about their flooded fields this year, their lack of staff and that they were too busy with other markets in the area,” she said. “Our board could not justify the investment required by the BIA

without a sufficient critical mass of farmers. We heard it already from our customers – they wanted more variety.” According to Valiquet, the BIA had been supplementing the cost of running the market including tents, storage and staff. “The last five years have cost our merchant association, the BIA, hundreds of thousands of dollars to run this not-for-profit event in Vanier,” she said. Valiquet said the board will hold a special meeting on July 9 to discuss new one-of-events the BIA will host during the summer. “It is the end of a chapter, but who knows, there may be other opportunities later. Time will tell.”

FILE

Quartier Vanier had been planning to set up the 2013 edition of the Vanier Farmers Market at the former Belisle Chevrolet Cadillac dealership on Montreal Road. On June 26, the association announced it was cancelling the market, citing rising costs and limited interest from the community and merchants.

Entertainment - Fans of Motown artists, funk and rhythm and blues are in for a treat as an up-and-coming Ottawa band hits the River Stage this year at Bluesfest. The Hornettes feature Anna Stamatova and Irina Popova on vocals, Jeff deValk on guitar, Ryan Forsberg on bass, drummer Norman Hladik, and horn players Brady Leafloor and Ed Lister. Based mostly in the Glebe, the group performs at local pubs and bars such as Irene’s, Babylon, the Rainbow, Zaphod Beeblebrox, Maverick’s and The Ritual, but this summer the group will make the step up to the Royal Bank Bluesfest on July 7. “We are definitely very excited,� deValk said. “We expect the best bit to be being able to hang out backstage, meet other bands and hopefully find some new fans inside and outside Ottawa.� Although deValk has played the festival before in another band, this will be the first time The Hornettes will take the stage and the high-energy group promises a good time for all. “We try to one-up ourselves every time we play,� he said. “Energy is the one thing we strive for above anything else, and we try to push ourselves and our audience.� Each show is full of music, dance and fun the group said. This latest gig at Bluesfest will be rounding out the band’s busy winter and spring, which has included sets across Ottawa and Gatineau almost every weekend, the completion of their brand new album and a performance at Jazzfest on June 29. DeValk said the band will be taking a much-deserved break after Bluesfest. Hearing The Hornettes play is like getting thrown back in time. With its big band sound, the group likens itself to Motown artists and bands from the late ’50s and ’60s. The band met through online musician wanted ads three years ago, but since then, they say they have become very close. “We have become like a little

family and being able to feed off the other members’ energy, as well as the audiences’, during our performances is definitely the best,� deValk said. The band cites their musical influences as the classic Motown artists such as Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Gladys Knight and Sly and the Family Stone, to name a few. The Hornettes are hoping lots of their fans come out to see them perform, but also encourage every ticket holder to check out the River Stage that afternoon. “They’re all a bit different,� deValk said of the band’s shows. “There are little mistakes, intentional change ups, and funny ‘moments’ that make every show special. We do our best to keep things fresh by continually learning and writing new songs, too.� The band will hit the stage at 1:30 p.m. on July 7.

Ottawa rockers to show no mercy at Bluesfest Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Entertainment - Everything seems to have come together for local blues-rock band the Wicked Mercy. Regulars at the Black Sheep Inn and Irene’s Pub, the four-piece band, known for the blistering vocals of Case Bronson, released their self-titled debut album at Irene’s Pub on April 27. They will also bring their unique brand of hard rock harmony to the Black Sheep stage at Bluesfest on July 13. “We are pretty excited to be playing Bluesfest,” Bronson said. “It’s kind of like the brass ring in Ottawa.” Coming off the release of their first album, Bronson said the band is pretty excited for what’s next. The album was produced by Jordan Zadorozny, who is known for working with the likes of Sam Roberts, Hole and Melissa Auf Der Maur. The members all bring something to the sound, whether it’s bassist and Nepean native Mark Sudiacal’s love of funk bands like the Red Hot Chili Peppers or Dave Nado’s love of heavy metal as evidenced in songs like Wanted Man or Love Like a Gun. “I like all kinds of stuff,” Bronson,

the band prepared for a night out at the Jazz Festival to see the Doobie Brothers. Before they hit the stage at Blues-

fest, the Wicked Mercy will play Sab Stock in Pembroke, opening for David Wilcox on July 7. They are also working on recording their own

EP, which Bronson said they plan to offer for free. “We have learned a lot about recording over the last year so we’re going to give it a try,” he said. The guys are a tight knit group, making regular treks out to Pembroke to jam with drummer Cory Zadorozny. Bronson said songwriting used to come solely from his stuff, but said the band is evolving into a more organic process where everyone has a little bit of input. Plans for the future include branching out to shows in Toronto and Montreal and expanding their North American audience. “We have had offers almost daily to review our album from Hungary, Greece, Budapest, France and the U.K., but not a whole lot locally,” Nado said. But whatever happens, the music is a labour of love. There are three bands on Nado’s street in Centretown alone – including one sharing the house he lives in – that will be playing Bluesfest. He said the Wicked Mercy jams once a week, but sometimes it’s a double bill with them in the basement and another band using the livingroom. “We have the best neighbours,” he said.

Monty Python alumnus takes kids for a spin around globe British entertainer honoured by Canadian group for contribution to geographic literacy Nevil Hunt nevil.hunt@metroland.com

News - Michael Palin may be a comedy icon for people over 40 or 50, but he’s a virtual unknown among today’s teens, unless they have a thirst for travel documentaries. The former Python dropped in on Grade 7 geography students at Longfields-Davidson Heights Secondary School on June 26, where the kids had only a vague idea about the day’s keynote speaker. As they awaited his arrival, one student said they know Palin “travels a lot� and another said he’s “meant to be funny.� It shouldn’t be a surprise, given his knack for entertaining, that Palin connected with the kids. All it took was a slide show of the places he’s been and stories about eating maggots and camel liver and vomiting in the desert. The silly walk confirmed his comedy chops with the young crowd. Palin’s slideshow featured photos from his 25 years spent filming travel documentaries, starting with Around the World in 80 Days. The landscapes and unusual people captured the students’ attention and also related to Python’s inescapable legacy; Palin told a story about singing The Lumberjack Song to a man in Bhutan. In Pakistan he watched bull racing, which he said “has no point to it but it’s

jolly good fun.� A photo of Palin washing an elephant proved popular, and animals came up during a question-and-answer session with the kids. Palin said the most dangerous things he’s dealt with while travelling are “humans, not animals,� although he was once scratched by a puma. Palin paced across a giant map unrolled across the floor of a gymnasium as he answered questions. The weirdest place he’s visited: a Tunisian community where people live in caves. He described breaking a rib while whitewater rafting on the Zambezi River in Africa. He admitted to eating maggots as well as some camel liver that didn’t agree with him and quickly came back up; maybe not a ringing endorsement of world travel but an adventure nonetheless. Palin’s stop in Ottawa came a day before he was to receive the Royal Canadian Geographic Society’s gold medal for his contribution to geographical literacy. Certainly his travel shows have been seen by millions and have probably inspired many of those viewers to see more of this planet. Palin said his global travels have delivered a dose of humility. “People know a lot more than I do,� he said. “I’ve been to some of the poorest parts of the world, and seeing how

British comedian and world traveller Michael Palin squeezes in with students at Longfields-Davidson Heights Secondary School on June 26. Palin stopped in Ottawa to meet geography students before heading to Toronto to accept an award from the Royal Canadian Geographical Society. He encouraged students to travel so they understand their world. people live and raise their children; it’s quite inspiring. “The most hospitable people are very often the poorest people.� Palin said he dreamed of being an explorer as a child and was lucky to receive an offer from the BBC to host Around the World in 80 Days

back in the 1980s. The series’ popularity prompted further trips and shows. He encouraged the students to see the world too. “Go out there,� Palin said. “Travel the world. Understand it.� His stop in Barrhaven came about because he asked to

meet children during his Canadian visit and the geographic society’s communications manager lives next door to

LDHSS teacher Larisa Deme. Deme said the school’s principal jumped at the chance to have Palin speak to students.

Local band gets lucky with second Bluesfest gig Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Entertainment - Three Times Lucky, a homegrown band offering a folksy, blues rock sound, will hit the Barney Danson Theatre stage at Bluesfest on July 5. The five-piece band that rehearses at guitarist Dave Reid’s Barrhaven home will also join the likes of Colin James and Johnny Winter at the Calabogie Blues and Ribfest on Aug. 17. This is the second time Three Times Lucky will play Bluesfest. They played in 2011 following the release of their debut album Mojo Offa Muddy. Their second album, Down to Texas, was released in November 2012. The second album quickly moved up to 14th spot of Dawg FM’s top 20 CDs list. “It was an amazing thing to hear the song on the radio,� Reid said. The group formed in 2009, all of the members having abandoned thoughts of a rock

star lifestyle in favour of careers and family. “I always kept playing music and once the kids were out of the house we all kind of thought it would be good to get back into it,� Reid said. Larry Deszcz, a self-described travelling peddler by day, said it’s great to be able to play Bluesfest because of the chance to be side by side with some world-class musicians. “The side stages are where you get some of the real gems,� Reid said. “Some of them are really used to playing the blues circuit – like New Orleans, Memphis and Texas.� The band’s home clubs include Greenfields Pub and Eatery in Barrhaven, the Black Sheep Inn, Irene’s Pub and the Elmdale Tavern. Reid describes them as a Friday night bar band. “John Ryder (a prominent Australian musician) said to me once, ‘If you don’t have the ladies up dancing you’re not doing your job,’� Reid

said. “For some reason people like to get up and dance to our stuff.� Reid handles most of the writing, but Deszcz said the band tends to jam things out and collaborate on the sound. “The first time I got a royalty cheque in the mail it was really something,� Reid said, adding that while it wasn’t much, he was happy to be getting paid to do what he loves. While the band doesn’t plan on doing a world tour, Reid said they are touring local festivals and hinted at a possible show in the city’s west end near the end of July. For more about the band and to hear some of the tunes from Down to Texas, visit www.reverbnation.com/ threetimeslucky.

News - Love camping but don’t have a car? No problem. That’s the message the creators of Parkbus are spreading to Ottawans, now that the provincial park bus service that began in Toronto three years ago has come to the capital. Parkbus founders Boris Issaev and Alex Berlyand joined a group of campers at the Mountain Equipment Co-op in Westboro for the Parkbus’ inaugural trip from Ottawa to Algonquin Park on Friday morning. With stops at campgrounds, canoe

access points and lodges, the bus is designed to open up the province’s largest park to urbanites who don’t own their own vehicles. “We’ve been running for the past three years out of Toronto – ridership has been increasing, things have been going well, so we’ve started a new pilot project out of Ottawa,� said Berlyand. From its humble beginnings, starting with seven outdoor enthusiasts and a white van, the initiative soon attracted hundreds of Torontonians to the service. Ontario Parks quickly signed on to support the project, with funding also coming from the provincial government. Mountain Equipment Co-op, not surprisingly, is a strong supporter and partner of this initiative and many others. The outfitter has been funding Ontario Parks’ lifejacket loaner program for several years as a safety initiative. After the inaugural park run, another trip will take campers and kayakers to the park in August and again in September. Bradley Fauteux, managing director of Ontario Parks, called Parkbus a “green, accessible policy� that all governments should support, referred to Algonquin Park as “the crown jewel� of Ontario’s parks system. Algonquin Park was created in 1893 as the first provincial park in Ontario, preserving a vast tract of pristine wilderness for residents to enjoy, and to protect. “We’re really committed to providing sustainable recreation and camping ongoing, so Parkbus is the kind of initiative we hope to support more of in the future,� said Fauteux. “Certainly, the entrepreneurship shown by these two young men is marvelous.� Ottawa Centre MPP and Labour Minister Yasir Naqvi said he hopes to see the Parkbus service continue in his community. “We’re calling it a pilot right now, but hopefully we can make it permanent,� said Naqvi. “I think it’s such a neat idea. If you don’t own a car, you still have the right to go to Algonquin Park and have a grand old time.� Information on the Parkbus’ schedule and destinations can be found at www.parkbus.ca

The Orléans brothers were recognized for their musical success and volunteer work. Since they started playing in 2006, they have raised more than $150,000 for a variety of charitable organizations.

News - The federal government hopes to have an impact on human trafficking in Ottawa. Rona Ambrose, the federal minister responsible for the status of women announced that $200,000 would be given to Persons Against the Crime of Trafficking in Humans Ottawa at a June 24 event at city hall. “This project will help to support the safety of women and girls in our nation’s capital,” Ambrose said. “Our government is taking action to protect the most vulnerable women in Canadian society. We are doing this through action plans, new laws and essential women’s projects.” Ambrose added the federal government recently launched a national action plan to combat human trafficking. To improve the safety of women and girls across Canada who are targeted for sexual exploitation.

Rona Ambrose, minister for the status of women, announces $200,000 in federal funding for a new project to combat the trafficking of women at city hall on June 24. The money will fund a twoyear study that aims to prevent trafficking through education and collaboration. PACT Ottawa, along with the Ottawa police and Crime Prevention Ottawa will be working together to compile the data. Consultations within the community will aim to find gaps in programs. Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Steve Desroches said

there have been charges of human trafficking laid by the Ottawa police in the past and he supports the initiative because it will work with stakeholders to protect the city’s women and girls. “Our organization is committed to ending the victimization of women and girls that results from the crime of human trafficking,” said Christina Harrison, director of project imPACT for PACT Ottawa. “We are pleased to partner with the Status of Women Canada and local agencies on this timely project, which will focus on vulnerable girls and young women from varied socio-economic backgrounds.” Insp. Uday Jaswal, who is the Ottawa police lead on the project, said it can be hard to identify trafficking victims because of under-reporting. “I think there’s also a wealth of information in the many agencies locally that provide support for victims of human trafficking, but they don’t often get a chance to collaborate,” he said.

Mary makes first foray into world of cow milking

I

’m telling you, she’s too young,” Mother said. Father said he milked a cow the day he learned to walk. Mother said “that’s nonsense, and you know it.” Rarely did I have so much attention sent my way and I loved every minute of it. With four siblings, rarely was I singled out, but that day I was getting my share. The subject was if I was old enough to milk. Once a calf got to the cow stage, I lost interest in her and I had little desire to sit with my head on her belly and try to get milk into a pail. But Father said it was time I did my share like everyone else in the family. Needless to say I was never consulted as to how I felt about the issue. And so on a Saturday, Father put a three-legged stool at the rear end of the quietest cow in the cow byre, put a pail under her and without a word of instruction told me to go ahead and milk. The old cow turned her head in my direction and

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories then back to chewing her cud. After watching my three brothers and sister do the milking often enough, I figured there wasn’t much to it. Well, I pulled and I tugged, and I spit on my hands and kept saying “sooo Bossie.” Nothing worked. The brothers were real pros at the job. The barn cats lined up on the other side of the gutter and every so often a squirt of milk would be headed in their direction. Without fail, the milk went right into their opened mouths. But here was I who couldn’t even get a drop of milk into the pail. My arms ached right up to my shoulders and a couple times I almost fell off the

three-legged stool. It was beyond me why the milk stool only had three legs in the first place. To add to my misery, it was fly season and the poor old cow kept swishing her tail trying to rid herself of the pests. With each swish, however, I took a lash square in the face. Mother was right -- I was too young for this job. But to convince Father was another matter. First of all, I didn’t like the cow byre. It was full of cobwebs, the cows smelled differently from the horses and I wouldn’t put it past any one of them to give me a good kick, especially when I was engaged in something

as personal as tugging at her private parts. Emerson, Everett and Earl were into the snickering and I knew it wouldn’t be long before I was into the tears. It was my beloved sister Audrey who finally came to my rescue. She finished milking her cows, the milk had been emptied into the cans, and came over to where I was sitting hunched over, still tugging away with absolutely not a drop to show for my efforts. “Let me try,” she said, and I gladly surrendered the stool. The milk spewed out on the first try with Audrey. I blamed it on the cow. I thought I was doing exactly what my sister was doing, but it certainly wasn’t working for me. I was convinced the cow didn’t like me any more than I liked her. Audrey tried her best to show me how to milk. Nothing worked. Finally, she went up to Father who was at the far end of the cow byre. “Mary’s hands are too small,”

she said. “And the cow’s too big,” I offered. Father ran his hand over my head. Even though it wasn’t near my nose, I could smell cow and milk off him, neither of which were my favourite odours. “Well, we’ll try again some other time,” he said. I was out of the barn before you could say “milk pail.” I ran to the house and told Mother I wanted to change my clothes. She knew exactly why. I bundled up what I had on in the barn and brought the whole pile down to the summer kitchen to wait for the Monday wash. I asked Mother for a pan of hot water and wash cloth and towel, which I hauled upstairs to the privacy of the bedroom. I washed every square inch of my body I could reach, but I thought I could still smell the cow byre off my skin. I opened my sister Audrey’s drawer of the little wash stand we shared and took out her precious can of Lily of the Valley talcum

powder and slathered it on with abandon. Then I put on clean clothes from the inside out. When we sat down for supper, my try at milking was never mentioned. I figured the brothers had been warned not to bring up the subject and I knew, without a doubt, my milking days were over, but only for the time being. Everyone had to pull their share back then and I knew the time would come when I would be led back into the cow byre and made stick at it until I could fill a milk pail like the brothers and Audrey. Not a word was spoken all during supper about how I had failed at a job that everyone worth his or her salt would be expected to do growing up on a farm long before modern milking machines did the job for you. Even Audrey, who guarded her belongings like a mother hen guarding her chicks, never said a word about how I smelled of Lily of the Valley.

Throughout the week parents will be working on a simple quilt to be given to a cancer patient in the area, as part of the Victoria’s Quilts program. On Friday the mothers can enjoy a spa day. The camp is open to people of all backgrounds, Dans said, and operates as a community camp first and foremost – especially for kids who otherwise wouldn’t be able to afford a day camp. But it is a church, after all, and Dans said Bible stories and Christian lessons certainly play a part in the programming. Dans said the Western theme also offers a perfect opportunity to teach campers about compassion and caring for others by reaching out to those affected by flooding in Alberta. The camp has attracted more than 300 kids in the past, although numbers have been lower the past few years as the church built a new facility and hosted its camp at a school in Metcalfe. Dans hopes to rebuild their attendance this year. To register in advance visit parkwaychurch. ca. Walk-ins are also welcome on July 8.

Ottawa Lumière festival lineup announced Variety of arts, entertainment for whole family Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - New Edinburgh’s annual festival of light will showcase a number of Ottawa’s visual, music, film and circus artists this year. The New Edinburgh Community and Arts Centre announced the lineup for the 2013 Ottawa Lumière Festival on June 25. The organization promises a three week-long festival full of activities fit for the whole family. “Lumière is not your typical static audience experience,” said Melanie Davis, executive and creative director of the centre. “Lumière embraces all different types of artistic expression, inviting artists from all over the National Capital Region to come together and collaborate through photography, film, performance and visual arts and create something unprecedented.” Professional fire dancer Sophie Latreille, who will perform alongside her Mini Cirque/Fire Weavers troop for her 10th year, loves the participation and enthusiasm at the festival. “I absolutely love the Lumière

Festival,” Latreille said. “There is a special ambiance there. It really is magical.” The festival is presented each year by the New Edinburgh centre and celebrates creativity and light. Among the activities which will be returning this year are the lantern workshops, a photography marathon challenge, story telling, fire dancing and circus arts. There will also be a lantern labyrinth, which invites festival patrons can silently walk through 600 candle lanterns that will be arranged in an ancient labyrinth pattern known as the “seven circuit labyrinth,” a pattern which dates back more than 4,000 years to ancient Crete. More than a dozen artists will perform during the Evening of Light. Davis said the festival invites participation, exploration and celebrates everyone’s creative spirit. “Lumière tears down the fourth wall and provides a dynamic creative experience for everyone,” she said. The event is pay-what-you-can. For more information about the festival or to view its full schedule please visit lumiereottawa.com.

Perley and Rideau celebrates new affordable housing wing sabine.gibbins@metroland.com

News - The Perley and Rideau Veterans’ Centre continues to grow its affordable housing options for seniors. The official opening of the first phase of 45 new affordable rental housing units for the facility’s Seniors Village was held on June 19. The project is a partnership between all three levels of government. There to mark the grand opening was Premier Kathleen Wynne, Alice Wong, Minister of State for seniors and Mayor Jim Watson. The hospital received $4.5 million in funding from the federal and provincial governments under the Canada-Ontario Affordable Housing Program Agreement to create more housing for veterans and seniors living on low income. One of the largest not-for-profit long-term care centres in Ontario, the centre has expanded its programs and services to create the Perley Rideau Seniors Village, which includes two buildings with 139 specially designed apartments, assisted living services for those in need at home or in the new apartments, respite care to help caregivers of family members with dementia, convalescent care, and various on-site health oriented services. “Our government is investing in affordable housing here in Ottawa, to help create jobs and improve the quality of life of our seniors,” said Minister Wong. “This initiative will help seniors living on low-income in our community access safe and affordable housing that meets their needs. We remain focused on four priorities, as outlined by the Prime Minister, that Canadians care most about: their families, the safety of our streets and communities, their pride in being a citizen of this country, and of course, their personal financial security.” Wynne said putting seniors first is a priority for the Ontario government. “It is part of our proud history, but it is also an essential factor in our collective vision for the future,” she said. “As Ontario grows, as our population ages, we have a responsibility to continue to care for one another, To keep pushing ourselves to adapt to the needs of our communities. We must find ways to offer people the lifestyle they deserve and the attention they require. And that’s why this new Seniors Village is so important.” The development, she continued, is part of our shared vision for Ontario. “Its design demonstrates the care, compassion and foresight that is possible within our broader health care system,” she said. “In these apartments, seniors can live in comfort and enjoy one another’s company. They will have the support they require with their daily tasks, whether they need to take their medication or unload a bag of groceries from the store. They will enjoy beautiful green

space, opportunities to participate in classes and enjoy their favourite hobbies.” The Perley and Rideau has recognized the emerging needs of these seniors, she said, including the necessity to provide services for those with dementia, and the very need for affordable housing. This facility will improve its residents’ lives, and also help to ease the strain on the province’s health care system as a whole, Wynne continued. “It will offer the best modern care for our seniors, while integrating the services they require and reducing the burden on our emergency rooms and hospitals,” she said. With the passing of the provincial budget, she said, it means they can move forward with their plan to invest $260 million this year in home and community care across Ontario. “That’s an unprecedented investment, but it is absolutely necessary if we are to adapt to the shifting demographics we see in our communities,” Wynne added. “As part of our plan, we have set a target to provide patients with nursing and support services within five days of their Community Care Access Centre assessment.” She mentioned the government would continue with their Action Plan for Seniors, which provides coverage for prescription drugs, in order to ease the financial strains many confront. “Ontario’s health-care system is a proud part of our history, and we will continue to adapt and evolve just as this facility has done to accommodate the needs of all its wonderful residents,” she said. “Our government’s vision for this province is built on the promise of a fair society, where everyone gets the care and respect they deserve.” The federal and provincial funding is balanced by more than $1 million in municipal financial incentives and by a $32-million mortgage from Infrastructure Ontario. The Perley and Rideau Veterans’ Health Centre provides quality care for seniors, serving veterans and an increasing number of other seniors from the community. Ottawa South MP David McGuinty called the moment a proud one for seniors and veterans across Ottawa and the province. “This really does show how we can cooperate across all levels of government,” he said. He gave kudos to his brother, former premier and MPP for Ottawa South Dalton McGuinty, for leading the way when it came to ensuring the needs of seniors were met. “This (Perley and Rideau) is just an example of what we need to do more of,” McGuinty said. “It was the right thing to do. It’s exactly the type of model we need to replicate over and over again. McGuinty said he hoped to see more of an engaging discussion take place on this topic. “It’s not like we need fewer (longterm care facilities),” he said.

SABINE GIBBINS/METROLAND

Premier Kathleen Wynne, centre, joined Mayor Jim Watson and other community and political leaders at the official opening of the new affordable housing wing at the Perley and Rideau Veterans’ Centre on June 19. In the future, McGuinty added, they need to ensure the right tax incentives are put in place for seniors, and be able to provide seniors with more options – long-term care versus private home care, for instance, decisions families struggle with as their loved ones grow older and require round-the-clock assistance.

“This is a good moment to be inspired by Perley and Rideau,” he said. A national approach to finding an appropriate and affordable strategy for seniors is also paramount, he added. “Affordability does become an issue for seniors,” McGuinty noted.

“We need to look at where we need to go as a country. This is not a partisan issue.” Mayor Watson said it was encouraging to see all levels of government work closely together to bridge gaps in affordable housing. “We’re so grateful for the important role the Perley and Rideau Veterans’ Centre Seniors Village plays for our community,” he said. The city, he went on to say, is committed to older adults. In October 2012, city council approved the Older Adult Plan as a coordinated approach to addressing the specific needs of Ottawa’s older residents, while introducing a long-term vision of a community that values, empowers and supports older persons and their quality of life. The federal government, through CMHC, will invest approximately $2 billion in housing this year. Of this amount, $1.7 billion will be spent in support close to 594,000 households living in existing social housing. In Ontario, this represents an estimated 237,950 households. These investments are improving the quality of life for low-income Canadians and households living in existing social housing, including individuals who are homeless or at-risk of losing their homes, seniors, persons with disabilities, recent immigrants and Aboriginal people.

Cardinal Creek village won’t have big-box stores: developer Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - A developer insisted a controversial commercial district planned for a new community in Cardinal Creek won’t be big-box stores. The new village located off highway 174 east of Trim Road won’t begin construction for another five years, but when it’s done, the 208hectare site will become home to more than 8,000 residents and create around 950 jobs in a mixed-use centre that will feature offices, retail shops, schools and parks. Two residents pleaded with the city’s planning committee on June 25 to prevent a commercial zone next to the Ottawa River from becoming built up with big-box stores that block the view. Although Cumberland Community Association president Clive Horn said the residential area is “very well thought out,” he hoped the committee would do everything it could to strengthen the quality of the new village by excluding the opportunity to build big-box stores, especially on the river. Anda Bruinsma made the same impassioned argument. “It’s critical not to lock it in the

way it is,” she said. “Box stores will come and go but this community will be here for a long time.” But Wendy Nott, a designer working on behalf of the developer, Taggart, showed photos of traditionallooking buildings with a small-town village feel. “The form and architectural treatment are intended to be very much in line with village character,” Nott said. “This is not intended to be a large format, traditional development.” Ted Phillips, a lawyer representing Taggart Group of Companies, said it is a “misnomer” to call it a commercial area. Creating an attractive development is in the company’s best interests, Phillips said. He said Taggart is committed to working with neighbouring resident groups in a voluntary design guideline process. After planning committee approved the Cardinal Creek village concept plan, Taggart sent a letter to the city promising to undertake those consultations. The letter says Taggart plans to initiate zoning for the residential lands and draft plan applications on the lands north of Old Montreal Road this summer.

Boatsmart president Cameron Taylor takes a tour on the Ottawa River near the Nepean Sailing Club launch on June 27 to give boaters a few tips about staying safe on the water this summer.

Stay smart on the water, safety advocate says Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - Staying smart on the water is all about common sense said Boatsmart president Cameron Taylor. Taylor spent the morning of June 27 cruising the Ottawa River near the Nepean Sailing Club to remind boaters to be safe this summer. He said it’s especially important to be vigilant around long weekends. “Keep an eye out for other boaters because there’s going to be a lot more traffic on the waterways,” he said. Boatsmart was founded 10 years ago and is mandated by Transport Canada to outfit drivers with their Boatsmart operator card and to increase awareness of safe practices onthe water. The fine for operating a boat without the card is $250, Taylor said, but avoiding the fine isn’t the only reason to get the qualification. “You need to get the card

so that when you’re out on the water you know how to navigate and know the rules,” he said. Rule number one is never go out on a boat without wearing a personal floatation device. Taylor said 85 per cent of drowning fatalities could have been prevented by wearing one. Drinking and boating also don’t mix. “Seasoned boaters might think it’s OK to have a drink before they boat, but they forget that the effects of alcohol are four times more severe on water than they are on land,” he said, adding 40 per cent of boating fatalities are alcohol related. Before heading out on a trip, the boater should file a travel plan with a trusted friend or the coast guard so someone knows when they should be back. “A lot of people head out on a fishing trip in the spring and then if something happens no

one knows where they went, so they die of hypothermia,” Taylor said. He also recommended having a look at the navigation chart of the area where you’ll be travelling to avoid rocks. Checking the weather before you head out can prevent accidents, Taylor said, but if something comes up unexpectedly, keep an eye on what other boats are doing and head to the nearest safe harbour. The number of boating-related fatalities has decreased annually in the 13 years since Transport Canada made it mandatory to have an operator card. Taylor said education is key in reducing that number even further. “There is still a generational gap, but young people are understanding the importance of wearing a lifejacket and that drinking and boating don’t mix,” Taylor said.

Residents worry move may damage heritage homes Continued from page 1

Although the group fought to save the homes, it is hoping the city will change the road project so the homes don’t have to be touched. “The curve has been there since Colonel By laid out the road … (it is) part of the fabric, social history of the area,” Miller-Chenier said, “The only way to do that is to move them. There is no other option. I want you to understand that,” built heritage subcommittee chairwoman Coun. Jan Harder told Chenier. “The battle is won. “If it goes back to anything, it would be to demolishing them. I don’t want to see that happen,” Harder added. Miller-Chenier said she worries about possible damage or a partial collapse of the buildings during the move. Cumberland Coun. Stephen Blais said the NCC should pay if it wants to re-do the road in a way that widens the boulevard. “It’s funny that we’re picking up the tab for them to do something they want to do,” Blais said, noting the NCC isn’t willing to pitch in for projects the city undertakes that involve the federal agency. Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury said it’s “reasonable” to conclude that the city will pay to move

Lowertown protesters were successful last fall in preventing two homes on Sussex Drive from being demolished to make way for a wider road. On June 26, city council approved $1.2 million to move the homes farther back into their lot to make way for the wider road, including cycling lanes. the homes because it made the decision to save them. But he added that the city and NCC share many of the costs for the $31-million project and it was Ottawa’s turn to pick up the tab. Blais, Hubley and Somerset Coun. Diane Holmes dissented on the city council vote to approve the housemoving funds. Heritage consultant (and vice chairman of the city’s built-heritage

subcommittee) Barry Padolsky’s company is preparing a study on how to move the homes, which will also determine how far back to move them. City officials have said the homes will retain their existing relationship to the street’s edge. The width of the road will widen by approximately two metres around the curve where the homes at 275-279 Sussex Dr. are located. Last year the National Capital Commission and the city had recommended the homes, one of which was home to former governor general Adrianne Clarkson during her childhood, be demolished as part of a plan to complete the NCC’s ceremonial route, Confederation Boulevard. The road project will involve widening the road in certain sections to accommodate cycling lanes in addition to the current four vehicle lanes. The city’s planning committee shocked even heritage advocates last October by unanimously rejecting the homes’ demolition. At the time, the NCC’s project manager, Richard Daigneault, said that option was considered, but removing the buildings wouldn’t have a significant enough impact to warrant the cost. The NCC argued that the rents charged to tenants in the buildings were not high enough to recoup that cost within a reasonable timeframe.

Improve water quality: spend more time in the hammock

EMMA JACKSON/METROLAND

Soup’s on! Usha Kappagantula stirs a pot of soup in preparation for the Manjari Sankurathri Memorial Foundation’s annual fundraising picnic in Andrew Haydon Park on June 22. The picnic, now in its 11th year, supports eye care and education in India. To date the foundation has educated 1,930 children and funded 178,805 eye surgeries. Organizers expected to raise about $5,000 at this year’s event.

News - Shoreline property owners who spend more time in the hammock this summer could be protecting the health of the Rideau River and its tributaries. Being in the hammock and spending less time mowing along the waterfront could mean more natural, vegetated shorelines. “There is simply no replacement for the beauty and function of natural plant communities along the shores of our Rideau River and its creeks and streams,� said Andrea Klymko, shoreline stewardship program manager at the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority. “Disturbing these long-established communities often means eroding shorelines, lower water quality, fewer birds and animals, and a loss of economic and scenic value.� The authority has just released its Lower Rideau Subwatershed report. The report highlights the growing need for healthy shorelines to maintain watershed health. As a result, the RVCA’s shoreline naturalization program is offering planting projects completely free of charge to eligible landowners in the Lower Rideau Wa-

tershed for 2013 (Burritts Rapids to the Rideau Falls). Projects generally include a confidential and no-obligation site visit, a customized planting plan, the purchase of bare root or potted trees and shrubs and full project management including planting labour. Unfortunately, one of the first things shoreline landowners sometimes do is “clean up� the shoreline - inadvertently making the first step towards the long, slow, cumulative march to a degraded watercourse. “A much better approach is to tuck away the lawnmower,� said Klymko “Let mother nature do her job and enjoy your weekend relaxing.� To sign up for your free site visit call Andrea Klymko at 613-692-3571 ext.1173 or Meaghan McDonald at 613-692-3571 ext.1192. Funding for this special project has been provided by the Rideau Valley Conservation Foundation, Environment Canada’s EcoAction community funding program, Shell’s Fuelling Change program, TD Friends of the Environment and many other partner groups.

Pet rats squeak into Catelli Castle emma.jackson@metroland.com

News - When you pack an emergency kit, do you include your two pet rats? If you’re Tommy and Melanie Glatzmayer you do. The Manotick siblings are once again the adventurous stars of a selfpublished book to raise awareness about Cornelia de Lane syndrome and other disabilities. Their mother, Nathalie Wendling, has written a sequel to Tommy’s brainchild, Melanie and Tommy Have Two Pet Rats and One Syndrome, which was published when he was in Grade 2. He wrote it to help his sister who suffers from CdLS, and to teach other kids about her syndrome. The family has spent several years travelling across the country with rats in tow to bring their story of love and acceptance to as many schoolchildren as possible. In this second adventure, the story expands its focus from just CdLS and encourages kids to accept everyone as they are, even if they look different. Wendling writes in her book,

“Sometimes people with a syndrome look different. Not everyone with a syndrome looks different. Not everyone who looks different has a syndrome.” Along with Melanie, the book includes Manotick student Zachary, who has Treacher-Collins syndrome, and former Manotick student Alex, who has a large scar on his jaw from a surgery to remove a tumour. “Since we live in a small village, it’s nice to let people get to know these kids who look different, so people can smile at them when they see them,” Wendling said. In the new story, Tommy, Melanie and their rats head off to Catelli Castle to search for the lost jewels of Princess Zoe. After a few brushes with crazy cats, a bully and a raging fire, they recover the jewels and, like all good archaeologists, give it to a museum for safekeeping. Along the way, loyal rat friends Chewy and Jay Bee help the sibling team out of a few squeakers. Near the end, Zachary is featured as Princess Zoe’s generous brother. A whole page is dedicated to his syndrome and his ability to use sign lan-

Tommy and Melanie’s new book will be available Aug. 17. guage to communicate. It includes pictures of alphabet and number signs for kids to practice. Alex is also featured at the end of the book, with a message that everyone deserves respect - and a smile. The new book will be launched at the annual Taste of Manotick event on Aug. 17 in front of Hair Inc salon. From 4 to 10 p.m., visitors can buy a signed copy of the book and meet the rats who have become celebrities in their own right. Visit www.2petrats.com for more information.

Hughie

Cool ways to beat the heat Summertime and the livin’ is easy, until a heat wave strikes and the recent weather in the Ottawa area makes it difficult for furry friends to stay cool. You may think that a backyard pool party or a trip to a local beach that allows dogs is a perfect way to beat the heat, but there are some things to think about before you dive in. If you’re swimming with your dog, don’t get in over your head. Many dogs will try to climb on their guardian’s head or shoulders when they tire. Keep a close watch on dogs near pools: an untrained animal will probably head for the nearest edge of the pool to get out, but slippery pool walls do not offer an easy exit. Panic can lead to exhaustion. Barking may be difficult for a dog in the water, making it tough for them to cry for help. Use a canine life vest or PFD. A well-fitted canine life vest is an easy way to keep your dog safe on a boat or while swimming

Hughie is a Scottish Fold, a grey tabby, whose ear cartilage is folded, giving his face an owl-like appearance Smart, sweet and laid back, Hughie is a loverboy with big round golden eyes and a soft, tiny voice which is only used for greetings and food emergencies. This fur-face is a trusting homebody and a sharer of favorite things such as live frogs and deceased field mice at the cottage. Playful, curious, he accompanies me ‘round the garden sniffing the roses, his only dispute with the evil resident squirrel. Folds are also loved for their amazing body contortions, their eccentric positions when asleep. Fur-face does this unique sitting thing called the “buddha position”. On haunches, leaning against a pillow, back legs stretched out and front paws crossed on a furry tummy, he sleeps… and everyone in the room tiptoes because we simply cannot bear to disturb this lovable wonder who chooses to live in our home. 9d ndj i]^c` ndjg eZi ^h XjiZ Zcdj\] id WZ ÆI=: E:I D; I=: L::@Ç4 HjWb^i V e^XijgZ VcY h]dgi W^d\gVe]n d[ ndjg eZi id ÒcY dji H^bean ZbV^a id/ X[dhiZg5i]ZcZlhZbX#XV ViiZci^dc ÆEZi d[ i]Z LZZ`Ç

will be sure to blow away any competition in obedience classes! Serena has a long, beautiful coat that will require some grooming to stay nice and soft, and to help reduce shedding. Serena is a “Special Needs” adoption. She came in to the shelter with a bad ear infection, and though she seems to be responding to the treatments, we are unclear at this point if her ears will be a chronic problem or not, as this dog’s new

owner you should be prepared for this possibility by discussing this with your veterinarian. Meet Smudge, a 6-year-old, neutered male, brown tabby and white Domestic Shorthair cat who loves to cozy up with his human and is available for adoption! Smudge is patient and has a great easy-going disposition. He wouldn’t mind sharing his household with cats and children, as long as they are cool as a cucumber, just like him. Smudge has only ever known an indoor lifestyle, and would rather not be an outdoor cat. Smudge loves to play and would love if his new family could provide him with great toys! For more information about these or other animals available for adoption, please call the Adoption Centre at 613-725-3166 ext. 258 or visit www.ottawahumane.ca.

in lakes and larger bodies of water. PFDs are made just for dogs and are available at many stores – including the Ottawa Humane Society’s retail store located at 245 West Hunt Club Road. A good PFD will have flotation all around your animal’s body, not just along their backs and will be brightly coloured and have a large grab handle along the back of the jacket. If your dog has never worn a PFD, give them time to get acquainted with it before actually getting on the boat. Get your pet used to the PFD in small steps. Start with wearing it in and around your home, then outside for short walks and finally aboard the boat. Make sure the life jacket fits properly and allow your dog to practice swimming in it. To keep your dog from swimming too far away, use a long nylon lead. Keep a close watch to make sure your dog doesn’t get tangled in the lead. This is a great way to make sure new swimmers are relaxed and comfortable in the water.

Please note: The Ottawa Humane Society has many other companion animals available for adoption. Featured animals are adopted quickly!
