Greg McPherson, a black belt instructor at Therien Martial Arts in Stittsville, does a push-up. He has committed to doing 20,000 push-ups (400 a day for 50 days) as part of Therien’s summer-long fundraising initiative for the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario. So far he has raised over $2,000 in pledges.

Greg McPherson is using push-ups to give a “push up” to a summer-long fundraising effort at Therien Martial Arts in Stittsville. Greg, who is a black belt instructor at Therien Martial Arts, has committed to doing 400 pushups a day for the 50 day duration of the fundraising initiative, totaling 20,000 push-ups. And while it didn’t start out as a fundraising tool, when interest was expressed by people who wanted to pledge their support for his efforts, Greg jumped on board and so far has raised over $2,000. This all began last November when Greg heard of a workout technique involving doing 1,000 push-ups a week for three weeks. He decided to try it and then opted to go for 50,000 push-ups in a year – roughly 1,000 a week. He began doing this but then the Therien fundraising for the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) came along and when it became evident that it could be a fundraising tool in this effort, he elevated his efforts and came up with doing 400 push-ups a day for 50 days – 20,000 altogether.

Greg, a Kanata resident, admits that his family has fortunately been healthy and has not needed CHEO’s services to any great degree over the years, unlike Therien Martial Arts’ owner Randy Cooligan whose two children have needed and received much treatment at CHEO. But Greg acknowledges CHEO’s vital role in the community and in particular he wants to support Randy in his goal of raising $20,000 this summer for CHEO. Last year Therien Martial Arts raised $10,000 for CHEO and this year the goal was doubled. Efforts like Greg McPherson’s push-up initiative are helping to ensure that this ambitious $20,000 goal will be achieved. Last Saturday Therien Martial Arts held a fundraising BBQ and tournament at its Cedarow Court facility in Stittsville, part of this ongoing summertime fundraising for CHEO. A silent auction was also held. Another instructor, sensei Rogan Ferguson at Therien Martial Arts’ Manotick location, has joined Greg McPherson on the push-up bandwagon and has also pledged to do 20,000 push-ups for CHEO by the deadline date of Sept. 6. More fundraising was accomplished by two brothers in Manotick who raised $1,600 for CHEO by shaving their heads. Push-ups first came into use sometime just after 1900. It is a calisthenics exercise performed in a prone position by lowering and raising the body using the arms. Push-ups exercise the pectoral muscles and triceps as well as benefitting the mid-section as a whole. Push-ups are a basic exercise used in athletic training and physical education. The world record for most push-ups done non-stop is 10,507 by a Japanese man done in Oct. 1980. The record for most pushups done in a 24 hour period is 46,001 done by an American.

From page 1 Greg, who began as a novice at Therien Martial Arts in the year 2000 and has been there ever since, advancing to be a black belt sensei (instructor), is a fan of push-ups, noting how they build upper body strength. Often push-ups are used as a warm-up for martial arts. He himself can do 50 push-ups in a minute, so his commitment to 400 push-ups a day means that he just has to find eight minutes over the course of the day to achieve his goal. A key to doing push-ups, Greg says, is to keep the body perfectly straight – no sagging. For variety, Greg will change the position of his arms. He might do a so-called diamond push-up where the thumbs and index fingers of both hands are brought together, forming a diamond pattern. Or he might move his hands beyond his head, adding more stress to the move and working out the chest and shoulder muscles more. Greg says that push-ups are still used in physical training because it simply is a great exercise, with the person lifting about 65 percent of his or her body weight with each push-up. It is also a great exercise because no special equipment is required – a person can do it wherever and whenever they want because all a push-up involves is a person’s body, arms and muscles. Greg has noticed a difference in his own physical fitness since his commitment to do push-ups every day. He is feeling stronger. Now 47, Greg and his family are all involved with martial arts. This includes his wife and their four children. The two older children also hold black belts. The younger ones have virtually been at Therien Martial Arts since they were born. Greg admits that Therien Martial Arts is a real family oriented place and his family’s involvement there certainly shows this.

Richmond garden, landscape contest JOHN CURRY
john.curry@metroland.com
The young gardeners at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Richmond are winners in more ways than one. They not only won in the front yard category in the annual garden and landscape contest organized by the Richmond Village Association (RVA) and also the contest’s environmental sensitivity award in the front yard category but also will be using their winning prize of $400 in garden supplies not only to purchase
some landscaping bushes for around a new sign which St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church has erected along McBean Street but also to help in raising funds to help build a barn in Kenya. This would be the second such barn funded by the youngsters of the Sunday School at St. Andrew’s. Already the Sunday School, in just half a year, has raised $900 that will build a barn and provide animals and heritage tools for a family in Narobi, Kenya. The children’s garden on the south side of the church is another Sunday

Other winners were the young gardeners of St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Richmond who were first prize winners in the front yard category as well as winners of the environmentally sensitive yard award for a front yard; and Evelyn Nugent, honourable mention in the front yard category.

School project that begins prior to springtime when Jeanette Cross of Harmony Gardens visits the Sunday School to talk about companion gardening. She then returns when the youngsters select what seeds they want to plant in their garden and begins these seeds early. The youngsters then later plant them in the garden. And what a garden it is. Ulrica McKim, who organizes the annual garden and landscape contest for the RVA, at last Saturday’s awards ceremony for the contest winners, praised the garden as an “excellent showcase for an environmental approach to gardening.” The garden gives the youngsters an opportunity to work with the soil and actually grow their own vegetables and flowers. Ms. McKim, who is an environmental biologist who believes in protecting the environment, has initiated the contest’s environmental sensitivity award to encourage and honour a balance between beauty, functionality and the environment in gardening. She said that the first place winners in the front yard and back yard categories in this year’s contest both showcased such a balance. “These people hit it out of the park,” she said about the front yard winners who were the Sunday School children from St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church and about the rear yard first prize winners, Robert and Sue Anderson. Second prize winners in the front yard category of the contest were Jim and Jackie Ivey of Green’s Road near Richmond. They won a $200 certificate from Richmond Nursery. This was déjà vu in a way for the Ivey’s as they entered the first such garden and landscape contest six years ago, winning a second prize at that time as well. Third prize in the front yard category went to Robert and Sue Anderson who were the first prize winners in the back yard category. Their property was described as spectacular by Ms. McKim in her description of it during the awards ceremony. It features a variety of rare species among its plants. They won a prize worth $125 from T.W. Design, a new sponsor for the contest this year. They also have a connection with the second prize winners, Jim and Jackie Ivey, who purchased some garden plants from the Anderson’s a number of years ago. Indeed, the Ivey garden includes a lot of plants that have been obtained from friends and others over the years. Indeed, Jackie Ivey says that she calls the garden her “Friendship Garden” because of this
connection with so many friends. Honourable mention in the front yard category went to Evelyn Nugent of Martin Street. In the backyard category, second place behind the Anderson’s went John Curry photo to Ward Powell. He Ulrica McKim once won prizes sponthis year sored by Harmony again organized the Gardens and RichRichmond garden and mond Gardens. It was Jim and landscape contest for Jackie Ivey who the Richmond Village placed third in the Association. backyard category. The expansive property was described as “spectacular” by Ms. McKim, noting how the garden blends in beautifully in its country setting. She also noted the gazebo which sits among trees. They received a certificate from Ray Lalonde’s Richmond Gardens as their prize. Honourable mention in the backyard category for the environmental sensitivity award went to Donna Hawkes of Hamilton Street. This year’s sixth annual garden and landscape contest organized by the RVA attracted nine entrants with a total of 15 entries, with some entering both the front yard and back yard categories. Over the six years of the contest, the number of entrants has ranged from a low of four to a high of 24. In her remarks at the awards ceremony, Ms. McKim praised the involvement of the sponsors and the judges for their ongoing support and enthusiasm for the contest. Harmony Gardens, Richmond Nursery, T.W. Design, Ray Lalonde’s Richmond Gardens and the RVA itself are contest sponsors. Judges include Jeanette, Calvin and Tilo Cross of Harmony Gardens, Morgan Blenk and Mike Stanton from Richmond Nursery and Mark Schizkoske who is a trained horticulturalist and a garden enthusiast. His nine year old son Ben helps out as well, taking numerous photos of the various entries. Don Flanders, president of the RVA, thanked Ulrica McKim for all of her effort in organizing the contest each year on behalf of the RVA. He noted that it was Ulrica’s idea to have such a contest six years ago and she has been the chief organizer every year. A plea was made for anyone who would like to help Ulrica with the contest organization next year. This might be in adding to the contest, perhaps by having a garden tour or by adding a category for businesses in Richmond. There are also other volunteer opportunities such as putting up posters advertising the contest and helping in other ways. 437099

The parking lot at Scotiabank Place is becoming a Park & Ride facility. Initially there will be 100 parking spots allocated for Park & Ride purposes. It is expected that this new Park & Ride will be in operation this fall. OC Transpo Express routes 261 and 263 will initially serve this Park & Ride facility, with eight morning peak trips and eight afternoon peak trips. For city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri, this has been the result of two years’ work, advocating for such a Park & Ride facility at Scotia-
bank Place. He started speaking with OC Transpo general manager Alain Mercier and Pat Scrimgeour of OC Transpo about two years ago about the possibility of using part of the Scotiabank Place parking lot at a Park & Ride facility. Councillor Qadri felt that this would reduce some of the pressure on the Eagleson Road Park & Ride facility while providing more Park & Ride spots without having to completely build such a facility. The Scotiabank Place parking lot already exists. In addition to this establishment of a new Park & Ride facility at Scotiabank
Place, the provincial government and the city are going build a new $750,000 on-ramp from Scotiabank Place to Highway 417 eastbound. This new ramp will give OC Transpo buses priority access to Highway 417, meaning the saving of time when these buses are leaving the Scotiabank Place parking lot after an event there. “The construction of this ramp meets head on one of our fans’ key desires and that is for easier exiting following hockey games and events,” noted Cyril Leeder, president of Senators Sports & Entertainment, which operates Scotiabank Place.
SPECIAL TO THE NEWS Villagefest 2011 in Stittsville will be held on Saturday, Sept. 10 at Village Square Park. Activities at this annual event will run from noon to 4 p.m. The entertainment will include a talent show.

On Thursday July 21st, Ottawa West-Nepean MPP Bob Chiarelli, Mayor Jim Watson, Ottawa Senators President Cyril Leeder and city staff announced plans for a new Park & Ride to be established at Scotiabank Place and a ramp to be attached to the northern side of the Scotiabank Place parking facilities. After 2 years working on this infrastructure, I’m thankful for this project to come to fruition. I started speaking with Alain Mercier and Pat Scrimgeour from OC Transpo at that time about operating a Park & Ride from Scotiabank Place. This was due to my concern about providing better service to the event fans and also to reduce pressure on the Eagleson Park & Ride. The other main reason was to reduce the cost of continuing to build new Park & Ride facilities. In this case, the parking lot already exists and will cut down costs exponentially. This Park & Ride lot will benefit Stittsville, Carp and other west end commuters and will initially be served by Express routes 261 and 263 with eight morning peak trips and eight afternoon peak trips. I look forward to seeing this new project in operation by the fall of 2011. The ramp will also introduce direct access to Highway 417 from the Scotiabank Place bus terminus and allow for time savings for customers leaving the Scotiabank Place by bus after special events. The amount of time saved is approximately 16 minutes per trip, due to much more direct access to the 417 and the absence of delays caused by interaction with other traffic.

The benefits of using Scotiabank Place includes avoiding capital investment and allowing for shared maintenance and operating costs, which saves taxpayers money. This will provide additional capacity and ease pressure on the Eagleson Park& Ride where demand currently exceeds capacity. Carp Landfill Waste Management (WM) is proposing to construct a leachate treatment facility for its existing waste disposal facility and waste processing operations at 2301 Carp Road. The proposed facility would be located south of the landfill footprint approximately 375 m from Carp Road. The facility would be accessed via the existing vehicular access from Carp Road. The leachate treatment facility will treat the leachate produced from the landfill prior to discharge into the City’s sanitary sewage system. The proposed facility uses a single train Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) treatment process. SBRs use a proven and reliable technology that is widely used for the treatment of wastewaters. Furthermore, SBR’s are used by WM as a leachate treatment standard and are in place and successful at many WM landfill sites. The implementation of this technology will allow WM to effectively manage the volume of leachate in storage at the site, while meeting requirements for discharge of treated leachate to the City’s sanitary sewer.
Dr. Angela Malik, Optometrist, offers complete and professional optometry services including eye exams, eye disease screenings, and emergency services within a practice outfitted with state-of-the-art equipment.
This facility is not an expansion of the current landfill; it is an attachment building that will be used to treat the leachate emanating from the landfill. For full information and the development plans please consult this City of Ottawa link: http://app01.ottawa.ca/postingplans/appDetails.jsf?lang=en&appId=__8KYD1E
Your vision health is a priority for Dr. Malik, Optometrist, and she reminds you that it is very important to have an eye exam regularly.

Simple Precautions to Prevent Drowning Due to an incident in the Stittsville area last week, I thought it pertinent to provide some City information on drowning prevention. The City of Ottawa would like to encourage all residents, especially parents and caregivers, to take precautions to prevent drowning. Adult supervision is essential no matter how well your child swims. Among Ontario children age five years and under, drowning is the second leading cause of accidental death. Two-thirds of these drownings happen to those who never intended to get wet in the first place. Unattended toddlers are especially at risk of drowning because they are mobile and very curious. Plan to reduce the risks during the summer months ahead: Stay within arm’s reach of your child at all times in and around the water. Enrol yourself and your children in swimming lessons and learn CPR and First Aid. Always use a personal floatation device when you are in a boat or a watercraft. Be vigilant – drowning occurs most commonly in swimming pools, often during a lapse of adult supervision. Install four-sided fencing around all pools, measuring at least five feet or 1.5 metres high and including a selflatching and self-closing gate. For more information on drowning prevention, call 3-1-1 or visit ottawa.ca Always listening and acting on your concerns As your Councillor, I always welcome your keen input and ideas on how we can sustain and improve Stittsville. Please contact our office anytime by phone at 613-5802476 or by e-mail at Shad.Qadri@ottawa.ca. My ward office is situated in the Goulbourn Recreation Complex, located at 1500 Shea Road. Please note the summer hours of operation are Mondays 9-1pm, Wednesdays 3-7pm, Fridays 9-4pm, and Saturday 9am12pm. Please do not hesitate to pay us a visit.

Local issues for candidates
Here we are in the middle of summer, with the farthest thing from most people’s minds being the provincial election that is scheduled for Oct. 6. It is just not on anyone’s radar screen as yet. But this provincial election is a significant one for this area. There are issues here that need an airing in a provincial election campaign and need some commitments made by candidates. Sure, we here in the CarletonMississippi Mills provincial riding all have concerns, like others in the province, about hydro rates, the HST, education standards, health care costs, deficit control…the list goes on. But we also have some uniquely local issues which must be addressed by the local candidates. There is, of course, the proposed Carp Road landfill expan-
sion. Candidates should be made to be perfectly clear as to what their position is with regard to landfills and, in particular, this Carp Road proposal. Are landfills still an acceptable form of dealing with waste – this is what candidates should be asked and should be answering. But our local issues go beyond this Carp Road landfill matter. Education and health are always identified as the two major provincial responsibilities that not only cost the most but have the most impact on people. With regard to education, there is a school accommodation crisis in Kanata. In addition, there is the longstanding issue of the establishment of a public high school in Stittsville. We need to know that our local candidates are committed to solving both of
these issues – and solving them sooner rather than later. With regard to health care, there needs to be commitments made by our local candidates with regard to health care facilities and resources in this Stittsville/Kanata area. We need some sort of health care centre at the very least. A satellite hospital facility would be awesome. But provincial funding is needed in this area for whatever improvements are done. The local candidates need to be clear about what will be done in this area. There are also other matters which candidates need to address. Matters such as the future of the Ontario Municipal Board and whether it will continue to hold absolute decision making power over the decisions made by elected municipal councils.

There’s something about travelling with children that makes you want to turn around and forget the vacation all together. On route to the first destination of our two-week camping trip, the sun was beating down on us, the birds were singing and we randomly discovered an arts a festival at our midway point. I’d made car bingo cards to keep the offspring amused for at least three hours looking for moose crossings, silos and swing benches. It kept them going for about ten minutes before... “Are we going to Algonquin Park?” asked my eldest son. “Yes,” I said. “I hate Algonquin Park.” “You’ve never been there.” “Well I hate it.” Sigh! As soon as we arrived, I, in spite of the car trip, felt unbelievably relaxed: The trees, the loons calling, the sound of Tea Lake below our campsite. But my son wasn’t having any of it. “Is this Algonquin Park?” he asked. “Yes.”
This is our vacation
“I hate Algonquin Park.” ‘Algonquin Park has 2456 lakes. You’ve only seen one of them. You can’t possibly hate Algonquin Park.” Silence. Silence and moping. And then. “My stomach hurts,” he said. “I think I need a doctor.” “You don’t need a doctor.” “I miss my bed. I think I need my bed. I’m sick, or I have an allergy.” And then he turned around and pounded his little brother on the shoulder as he passed by. Sigh! It reminded me of a Family Circus comic I saw a few years ago. In the single frame, the mom and dad are pulling a wagon carrying a gaggle of fighting kids, beach umbrellas and a dog. The father says, “I need a vacation.” To which the mother replies, “This is our vacation.” The whole day continued like this. The water was too cold. The washrooms were too dirty. The fire was too smoky. The loons were too noisy. The marshmallows were too sticky. THE MARSHMALLOWS WERE
TOO STICKY! “I’m never going to get through the next two weeks,” I said to my spouse. “Sleep on it,” he said. “He’s just tired and excited and out of his routine.” The next morning, I woke up early to waddle, knock-kneed through the woods, fending off potential bears with a whistle on my way to the vault toilets. When I returned with a longer stride and a subdued ache in my bladder after the one kilometre trek, my eldest son was waiting for me. He’d peed in a bush. “The birds woke me,” he grunted. “Wonderful!” I was not going to let him get me down. “Let’s go see what kinds of birds there are around here.” I said. So off we went, hand-in-hand in our pyjamas, breaking my first rule of the fortnightly camping trip: Thou shalt not wander about the damp woods in one of two pairs of pyjamas. It wasn’t long before we spotted fungus growing on a tree
stump. From there, we found some interesting evergreen trees that were dark green in the middle, with almost translucent needles. We saw moths and birds, and some early morning fishermen before we settled on a large rock located about two feet from the shore. We sat on the rock and looked in silence. That’s when we saw the loons. They were swimming toward us. We were silent. They were bobbing for fish. We were silent.

‘Pay it forward’ Editor: On Wednesday, July 13, while out for a walk, my wife and I were caught in a downpour and took shelter at the old railway station on Abbott Street in Stittsville. Shortly after, a cyclist also took cover from the deluge. As we wondered how we could get home, he took out his cell phone and called his daughter. Within minutes, she appeared in a minivan and drove us home. This unselfish act towards complete strangers deserves public recognition. We are truly thankful and appreciative for this generosity and wish to thank Jim Narraway and his daughter Teal. We in Stittsville are truly fortunate to have such caring citizens living among us. Jim’s parking words were: “Pay it forward.” Adam and Ella Mohr Stittsville
Candlelighters helps families coping with childhood cancer JOHN CURRY
john.curry@metroland.com
Stittsvlle has a special connection to Candlelighters Childhood Cancer Support Programs Inc., an organization that helps families which are coping with childhood cancer. Tori Carswell, a Stittsville youngster who died of a childhood cancer called neuroblastoma in Jan. 2004, is this connection. Tori’s Helping Hand, established in 2005, is part of Candlelighters, providing funds to palliative care oncology children and their families as well as to families whose children require a transplant. Funds from Tori’s Helping Hand help families provide much needed comfort for their children’s final days. Tori’s Helping Hand is just one program offered by Candlelighters. Others range from helping cover out of pocket expenses to a cyberkids program that provides computers for children battling cancer. There is no family with a child diagnosed with cancer that does not need some support along the way, Jocelyn Lamont, Candlelighters’ executive director, told members of the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville at its July 19th meeting. And Ms. Lamont knows because she herself has gone through the experience, having a child diagnosed with cancer at five years of age and dying two years later. A registered nurse herself, she was shocked to see the lack of understanding surrounding childhood cancer situations and that is why she worked to get Candlelighters off the ground in Ottawa with the goal of providing resources to families dealing with a childhood cancer so that they could understanding the process.
Children’s Wish Foundation and other orgaAnd there is a lot to understand. First of all, nizations which arrange for the realization of the very news itself of a diagnosis of a childwishes for children battling cancer, but rather hood cancer is devastating to a family. Yet, even Candlelighters pay bills and helps families the language used relating to cancer is difficult meet expenses that could range from buying to understand. groceries to paying hydro bills to helping pay Candlelighters provides resources so that a mortgage. parents can better understand what is going “We do the simple bricks and mortar stuff,” on. But, more than this, Candlelighters also Ms. Lamont explains. provides funding help for out of pocked expenses. And these expenses are not minimal – it is See CANDLELIGHTERS, page 11 estimated that a family can be faced with up to $28,000 in out of pocked expenses in the first three months after diagnosis. This might include child care costs for other children, lost income, keeping the child safe from germs in the house, paying bills, buying groceries… it goes on and on. One key funding goes to paying the $15 daily parking fee at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario. This is a great help in many ways for parents who have to sit there at the hospital every day watching their child fight for his or her life – at least they don’t have to pay the parking costs to do this.

Finding alternative financing Third in a Three-Part Series BY DAVID FLEISCHER AND NICOLE VISSCHEDYK
T
hey’re known as publicprivate partnerships, or alternate financing arrangements, or by the acronym P3s. They have become popular tools in the limited range of options available to governments trying to find money to repair or renew the crumbling roads, public buildings and other infrastructure that underpin our communities. Residents of many communities will already be familiar with the concept through the new hospitals, courthouses and other public facilities for which the Crown agency Infrastructure Ontario is responsible. (See fact box.) A $335-million courthouse in Durham Region that opened in 2009 was the first project to go through Ontario’s new alternate financing program. Infrastructure Ontario’s projects now include hospitals, the eastern extension of Highway 407, the modernization of Ontario Provincial Police facilities and highway service centres across the province. But a move is on to increase access to public-private partnerships as municipalities try to cope with the enormous burden of funding infrastructure, a job that has already put many of them into debt.
York Region, for example, in search of new ways to fund transit, has formally asked Metrolinx (the regional transportation authority) to look at alternate funding sources for municipal transit systems. The province unveiled its long-term, 10-year plan for infrastructure June 24 and Cabinet Minister Bob Chiarelli said Infrastructure Ontario will see its role expanded with a broader list of projects – including mu-
nicipal waterworks and transit – that can use its procurement and financing model. P3s are not uniformly popular, generating criticism from opposition politicians and groups such as the Canadian Union of Public Employees, in part because the Canadian approach to most public facilities and services has been to keep the entire process public, or as much of it as possible. Critics found fuel in an On-
Ray Friel: Ottawa’s failed P3? The City of Ottawa embarked on two public-private partnerships for recreation in the east and west ends because, as proponents argued, it was the only way the city could afford new arenas. But in 2007 those deals took a turn for the worse. That year, the City of Ottawa terminated its contract with Serco Facilities Management, which was managing the Ray Friel Recreation Complex in Ottawa’s east end.
A city report presented to councillors had noted Serco underestimated its operating costs by $1.3 million a year while overestimating revenues. According to the report, Serco needed an extra $2 million a year. In the end, the city took over operation of the centre at an added cost of $1.3 million a year. Meanwhile, that same year councillors decided to fork over $1.4 million over three
and a half years to keep operations running at the Bell Sensplex. That decision came after a staff report recommended the city give Capital Sports Group, operators of the Bell Sensplex, $400,000 a year over three years to put the project on solid financial ground. At the time these decisions were made, council agreed to keep tabs on public-private partnerships, requiring an annual performance report.
tario Auditor General’s report that concluded in 2008 that $200 million could have been saved if the province had done the borrowing itself on the new Brampton Civic Hospital. But Mark Romoff, chief executive officer of The Canadian Council for Public-Private Partnerships, disagrees. “You need to follow the program from beginning to end and you’ll see the strong, successful P3 program does deliver value for money,” he said. Partnerships have evolved from their beginnings in the early 1990s and are now being used in more sectors at more levels of government, Romoff said. A recent Edmonton breakfast brought out 370 attendees to hear how P3s can help municipalities, he said, a sign of increased interest at the cashstrapped municipal level. “When you’re looking to move the infrastructure needle … if there’s an infrastructure gap and a fiscal challenge, the P3 model could be worth looking at,” Romoff said, acknowledging the partnerships are not a silver bullet for every project. John Loxley, a University of Manitoba economics professor who studies and writes about P3s, evaluated prominent projects including Highway 407, the controversial toll highway built in a private-public partnership and now owned privately. He believes the highway was a “poor deal for Ontario taxpayers.” “You need (infrastructure), but it’s got to be done right,” he said. “You don’t get something for nothing.” But public-private partnerships are not the only potential options available to help municipalities solve the funding puzzle. Solutions popular in other jurisdictions are being looked at as well, including new models that would apportion a certain percentage of income tax or a percentage of sales tax such as the HST for infrastructure. The push for alternative financing is driven by the realization that municipalities simply cannot hold the fort much longer. From 1955 to 2007, the federal share of public infrastructure fell from 27 per cent to 5 per cent while the municipal share increased from 27 per cent to 55 per cent, according to a 2008 report. Earlier this month, the mayors of Canada’s largest cities agreed at a meeting in Halifax that municipalities must watch the new majority government of Stephen Harper to ensure there is a change. Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson, chair of a big-city caucus in the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, said he hopes municipal leaders and
Infrastructure Ontario It is an arm’s-length Crown agency that manages public projects and arranges funding that includes private sources for infrastructure ranging from courthouses to sewer systems. It also provides municipalities and other public bodies with access to affordable loans for new buildings and renewal. The agency has not issued an annual report since the 200809 fiscal year, so it is difficult to track projects and loans on paper. However, the province says that since 2005, the agency has managed 52 infrastructure projects worth $21 billion, including 35 hospital projects and approved more than $4 billion in loans for more than 1,000 projects. Major projects include: • Facilities for the Pan Am Games, including Hamilton’s soccer stadium • Durham Consolidated Courthouse • Montfort Hospital • Quinte Health Care • Ottawa Hospital Regional Cancer Program • Lakeridge Health • Markham Stouffville Hospital • Halton Healthcare • Niagara Health System • Royal Victoria Hospital • Waterloo Region Consolidated Courthouse • Highway 407 East Extension • West Lincoln Memorial Hospital the Tories can develop a farreaching infrastructure plan that won’t drop in priority as the new government tries to cut costs. After the federation issued a report on the national infrastructure deficit in 2007 – when, it calculated, the gap for Canadian municipalities alone was $123 billion – Finance Minister Jim Flaherty countered that municipalities should take care of themselves and that federal government was “not in the pothole business.” The attitude changed as the recession took hold and the federal government took into account the jobs that could be created through infrastructure projects. However, as the infrastructure deficit grows and the economy resumes, the traditional equation is back in force. The federation points out that 92 per cent of a Canadian’s tax dollar goes to the two upper levels of government, but municipalities are responsible for more than half the existing infrastructure — and have to do whatever jobs are passed to them — with the remaining 8 per cent.

From page 9 Candlelighters also provides laptop computers for cancer children who are in school. If they are isolated for their own safety, the computer helps them keep in contact with their friends. The availability of the computer also lets them handle their school work. Ms. Lamont says that it is very rewarding to see a cancer child be able to graduate from school with their friends and the Cyberkids program helps in this. Tori’s Helping Hand provides funding for children with cancer who are in the palliative stages of their treatment. This could include funding to help with unfunded medications or for the purchase of a special mattress or special treatment pumps. Candlelighters wants support to be there for families with children diagnosed with cancer so that at the end of the day, no matter what happens, the family can feel that it has done its best and it does not live with any regret that more could or should have been done for the child. “We’re that special little family of families that no one wants to know about,” Ms. Lamont told the Rotary Club members. Not a lot of people are involved because there are only about 250 families involved at any one time. But what Candlelighters

It’s an appropriate name – Camp Awesome. While youngsters physically went to the Stittsville United Church in Stittsville for the Camp Awesome Christian day camp program last week, they actually travelled around the world. Now that’s truly awesome. And by visiting the forests of Ontario, the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, the Arctic, the jungle and the Sahara Desert, these 35 youngsters, aged 4 to 12, gained a feeling of reverence and admiration for God’s creation. Awesome, indeed, it is. God’s wild world was the theme for the week. By talking about Ontario’s forests, they learned about the different animals that depend on the woodlands such as the woodpecker. They learned as well about the dangers of deforestation. At the Great Barrier Reef in Australia on another day, they learned about the dangers of pollution. It only made sense to enjoy a litterless lunch that day. The Arctic was the next day’s stop, with discussions about polar bears and climate change. Animal rights were the topic when the jungle was visited while the Sahara Desert generated talk about water conservation. All of these issues were considered in the context of appropriate Biblical verses. Each day began with a story of the day which was later reviewed in smaller agerelated group settings before the youngsters enjoyed a craft or activity. Songs and skits also were prevalent on each day’s program. Of course, there was always snack time with treats of juice, cheese and watermelon, among other goodies. Camp Awesome also provided the opportunity for youngsters to make new friends as they enjoyed a week of activities organized and overseen by a group of teenaged counselors who had undergone a week of special training prior to last week. The groups, arranged by age, featured colourful and yet appropriate names such as the Playful Polar Bears, the Wacky Woodpeckers and the Tena-
cious Tigers. On Friday afternoon, the Camp Awesome youngsters presented a grand finale in the church, attended by their parents and grandparents. They marched in as a group, singing “We’re going to Awesome on the Happy Day Express.” The group assembled at the front where, under the direction of their counselors, they sang the “Bufferly Song” which included the phrase “Thank you, God, for making me me.” Each of the groups presented a song or skit at this windup presentation. The oldest group, the Tenacious Tigers, for instance, presented the story of Tiffany the tiger in the jungle and how Tiffany managed to persuade poachers to give up their poaching which was endangering the jungle and its animal inhabitants. These group presentations were followed by a couple of group songs including the song “Jesus loves me, yes, I know.” The presentation ended with the youngsters marching out of the church, just as they had come in as a group, singing. It was an awesome ending to an awesome week that lived up to its name – Camp Awesome.

A. Lorne Cassidy students off to high school
SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
A giant ceremonial key has played a role at A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School in Stittsville ever since the official opening ceremony of the school over two decades ago now. It not only played a significant role in the official opening ceremony but ever since has played a role at the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual grade eight leaving ceremony. It has always been passed on by the grade eights who are leaving the school to a younger generation of students at the school, representing a â&#x20AC;&#x153;passing of the torchâ&#x20AC;? of learning, as it were. At this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grade eight school leaving ceremony at A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School, Julia Peterson, one of the 77 grade eight students who are now off to high school, turned over the key to young Evan Peterson. This presentation of the key wound up the grade eight leaving ceremony which was held on Wednesday, June 29. The ceremony included not only the presentation of diplomas to the various grade eight students who have now completed their elementary education at A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary
School and are now headed to high school in September but also saw the presentation of a number of special awards honouring individual accomplishments and achievements by a number of the students. The most prestigious of these individual special awards continue to be the ALC Letter Awards. This year six students received ALC letter Awards â&#x20AC;&#x201C; namely Adrianna Nystedt, Donny Chennette, Katie Blaikelock, Rachel Colquhoun, Aidan Heffernan and Kaitlin Heffernan. ALC Letter Awards are presented to students who have consistently made a positive contribution to the school. This can be in the areas of athletics, citizenship or academics. They are enthusiastic participants in all school activities throughout the year. These students provide leadership in the school community and set standards for other students. Besides the six student ALC Letter Awards, this year saw, as is traditional, the presentation of an honourary ALC Award. This goes to a person in the community who has contributed to the life at A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School by volunteering their time and effort in making
the school a great place for both students and teachers. This year Mrs. Sharon Foster was presented with this honouary ALC Award. The Kiwanis Citizenship Award, which is presented to a grade eight student who has exhibited the qualities of good citizenship, was presented to Adrianna Nystedt. The Norm Cooksey Awards for athletics went to William Robertson for the boys and Kirstin Kariappa for the girls. The recipients of these Norm Cooksey Awards, named after a former school trustee, have participated in a variety of extra curricular sports as well as have taken leadership roles in the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s physical education program. The Band Award, given to a student who has consistently shown dedication, leadership and effort over the course of the year, thus contributing greatly to the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s band program, went to Donny Chennette. The Stephanie HamiltonDonegan Friendship Award went to Katie Blaikelock. This award is presented to the student who is seen by his or her peers to be a good friend who is always there when needed. The
recipient of this award is selected by the students themselves by a ballot in the classroom. A Special Recognition Award, implemented to recognize a student whose contribution to the school is deemed to be worthy of recognition but whose contribution does not fit into the typical award categories, was presented to Alex Wilson. An Honourable Mention Certificate went to Navreen Chohan. This is presented to a student who deserves mention for outstanding service to his or her peers and/or teachers on a consistent basis. The Kim Oswick Award went to Charlie Gray. This award, named in memory of a student at A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School who graduated in 2007 and died of cancer shortly afterwards, is presented to a student who has shown courage, perseverance and determination in the face of illness or academic, physical or social challenges. The Ontario Principalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Council Principalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Award for Student Leadership was presented to Adrianna Nystedt. This award goes to a student who is considered a student leader. The Valedictory Award went to Katie Blaikelock who deliv-
ered the valedictory address on behalf of her fellow grade eight students. Grade eight students Mackenzie Hamilton and Chad McCausland served as the hosts for the grade eight school leaving ceremony this year.

be in life because that will lead to a life that you want, with a job that you enjoy and with friends that you like. Principal Green reminded the students to be open to new opportunities and experiences in life. “Participate, get involved, thrive,” she told the students who are now moving on to grade seven at Sacred Heart High School in Stittsville. Calling the class of 2011 a “dynamic, promising group of young adults,” principal Green reminded the students that Catholic education is based on a triangle of support – the family and home, the parish and the school. She told how the grade six students were challenged at the beginning of the school year to be leaders and role models in the school and this is what they accomplished during the year by leading assemblies, taking part in sports tournaments, being peer and kindergarten helpers and helping in the school office. “Grade six, you are ready for change, growth and challenge,” principal Green announced. In the valedictorian address, student Kiara Bangloy noted that friends made in elementary school will be friends forever, with a special bond thanks to being school mates. “So, it’s not goodbye but farewell,” she told her classmates as they prepare for their high school years. Co-valedictorian Spencer Morden thanked the grade six teachers for inspiring the class of 2011 to always do its best. He noted that the 30th anniversary of the death of Terry Fox had just taken place, quoting this famous Canadian as saying that everything is possible if a person just tries. Besides the presentation of grade six leaving certificates, the ceremony also included the presentation of a number of awards recognizing individual accomplishments and achievements. The Faith Award was presented to Chris Pettapiece and Steven Keyworth. This award goes to a student or student who has demonstrated on a daily basis his or her ability to live, learn, love and grow in his or her faith in Jesus Christ. The Justice Award recognizing the importance and value of treating all peers equally was presented to Jenna Brisson, Iain McDonald and Meg Harrington. The Stewardship Award was presented to Erik Holmes and Chelsea Marin. This award goes to a student or students who show a commitment to the values important to the school community by demonstrating these values at various events. The Persons Award was presented to

Recipients of the Academic Excellence (English) Award were Adam Duchesne, Victoria Lapointe, Erin Francispillai and Andrew Simonds.

The Community and Partnership Award presented by the Kiwanis Club of Goulbourn to recognize a student or students who display a high level of collaborative and teamwork abilities went to Trent Holmes and Iain McDonald. The Arts Award recognizes a student or students who demonstrate excellent creativity and imagination in all areas of the arts. Recipients were Craig Renaud, Justin Symes and Aidan Saunders.

The Director of Education Award recognizing a student who best exemplifies all or most of the Gospel values was presented to Erin Francispillai.
Warriors win in Kingston From page 17 This all happened at the Ambassador Cup tournament in Kingston on the weekend of July 9-10. The tournament began for the Warriors with a game against Whitby which saw the Warriors come out on the short end of a 2-1 score. But this turned out to be the Warriors only loss of the tournament as they rebounded with four straight victories, including winning the championship final in their division. After the loss against Whitby, the Warriors won their second game played that
Saturday, facing off against Pembroke and emerging with a solid 8-0 win. The Warriors played three games on the Sunday, starting off with a 5-0 win over Kemptville. This took the Warriors to semi-final action where they went up against Belleville, emerging with a 4-1 victory and earning a trip to the championship final that same day. This championship final saw the Warriors face off against Pickering. It was a close game but the Warriors came through, winning 1-0 and capturing their division in this 2011 Ambassador Cup tournament.

Waste Management wants an on-site leachate treatment facility at its Carp Road landfill site. This will allow Waste Management to pre-treat the leachate produced by the landfill before it is discharged into the city of Ottawa’s sanitary sewer system. At present the leachate is discharged into the sanitary sewer system without the benefit of any pre-treatment. This leachate treatment facility will include four storage tanks and a 375 square metre control building with pumps, blowers and processing equipment, all enclosed with a berm which would capture any leachate if a leak occurs in the tanks or piping of the facility. The facility will also have an odour control system which apparently is not standard in such facilities but which Waste Management is including as an extra feature just to ensure that there will be no odour problem created by the facility. The facility itself will be located south of the existing landfill, 375 metres west of the Carp Road and about 500 metres from highway 417. The building will be six metres high and the tanks nine metres tall. The facility will not be visible from either Carp Road or highway 417 in the view of Waste Management and its consultant. Ross Wallace, manager of the Carp Road site, told the 25 people at a public meeting called to deal with a site plan application to the city of Ottawa for the facility on Monday, July 18 that this facility is being built just for leachate from the existing landfill site and has nothing to do with the proposed landfill expansion that is now going through a public process. This was confirmed by Michael Gundry, a consultant working on the project, who said that the leachate treatment facility was sized to deal with the current landfill and its leachate. “It has nothing to do with the expansion,” he said. Mr. Wallace further elaborated that it is more economically viable for Waste Management to be able to treat its leachate before releasing it into the city’s sewage system. “It gives us more opportunity to deal with the effluents we want to deal with,” he said, adding that the on-site treatment will give Waste Management more opportunities to use the leachate year round on the site. At present, with no on-site treat-
ment, Waste Management is able to use the leachate for a number of months for servicing poplars growing on the site. But this is limited to the warmer months. The leachate treatment facility will be reducing the organic strength of the leachate from the site. It will be basically an organic treatment specifically set up to treat leachate. Liquid chemicals will be used for the treatment. Leachate released to the city’s sewage system must meet certain chemistry levels. Currently Waste Management is releasing about 150 gallons per minute into the system. This is well below the amount that is allowed which is 233 gallons per minute. Waste Management needs a Ministry of Environment approval for this leachate treatment facility. This was done late in 2010 with public and Environmental Bill of Rights consultation at that time. The Ministry of the Environment is now reviewing the application in light of comments from the public and its own comments on the project. If Ministry of Environment approval is forthcoming and city of Ottawa site plan approval is given, Waste Management wants to start construction of the facility late this year, with construction completed and the facility operating in 2012. At the public meeting, Michelle Armstrong of FoTenn Consultants stated that the proposed leachate treatment facility conforms to the city’s Official Plan Policy for the area since it is an industrial use directly linked to the solid waste disposal use of the site. This eliminates any land use compatibility issues on the site. The zoning for the site permits a waste processing and transfer facility which is what this proposed leachate treatment facility is considered. The proposed leachate treatment facility will have little impact on traffic accessing the site. There will be one sludge truck visiting the facility once every two weeks. There will also be a chemical delivery truck visiting the facility once every six months. There will also be a pickup truck visiting the facility once a day to transport the facility operators to the facility. The public meeting about this proposed leachate treatment facility at the Carp Road landfill site was held in Carp and hosted by city of Ottawa West Carleton/ March ward councillor Eli ElChantiry.
