INFRASTRUCTURE Cities are increasingly trying to forge public-private deals to fund their infrastructure.

courtney.symons@metroland.com

The windstorm that ravaged the city on July 17 wreaked particular havoc on Marshall Bay, where multiple cottages and cars were damaged due to fallen trees.

Residents of the small privately-owned area along the Ottawa River are seeking aid from the federal government to pay for the damage inflicted on their property.

West Carleton-March Coun. Eli El-Chantiry and Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP Gordon O’Connor toured the area on Tuesday, July 19 to assess the damage.

“It’s devastating,” El-Chantiry said. “It’s heartbreaking to see some of these 200-year-old trees torn down, snapped like a toothpick.”

It costs between $750 to $1,000 to remove a large tree like the scores that have fallen in Marshall Bay. “The challenge here is that some people have insurance and some don’t,” O’Connor said. “I’ve scratched my head to figure out how the federal government can get involved, but it’s not likely.”

Only when both the city and the province declare a state of emergency will the government step in to provide monetary assistance. This was the case during the recent flooding in Manitoba and the fires raging in northern Ontario.

But neither El-Chantiry or O’Connor believed that a state of emergency will be declared because of the windstorm.

Carp man looks back at 50 years exploring Arctic COURTNEY SYMONS courtney.symons@metroland.com

Norman Hallendy was once told to lie down next to a crack in the ground and listen as the earth spoke to him. Legend goes that it would say, “Ahimaa…

Ahimaa.”

When Hallendy asked what that meant, he was told that the earth was asking, “Are you really what you appear to be?”

Hallendy has travelled the Canadian Arctic and much of the circumpolar world, spending a lot of time on Baffin Island in particular.

He has lived what he describes as a double life – both a corporate executive, and an explorer of a world that most have never seen.

Now that Hallendy has retired from his job as a civil servant and has slowed down his northern expeditions, he has more time to reflect on his experiences with the Inuit people he grew to think of as family.

“The Arctic always held a particular fascination for me,” Hallendy said from his home in Carp. “It allows me to be, for a short period of time, the kind of person I would really like to be.”

Hallendy won over the respect of Inuit elders during his travels by using a very basic principle that every child is, or should be, taught.

“I learned from a very early age that the best thing you can be is respectful,” he said. “Of people, of animals, everything.

It’s a good practice. It can never get you in trouble.”

This respect included bringing little gifts and offerings to those he met on his travels. Simple things, like plastic clothespins when all the Inuit had available were wooden ones that would fall apart from the cold.

Calling the elders “grandma” or “grandpa” instead of using their first names. Bringing them copies of photographs he took of their people and landscapes.

One lesson he learned came after knocking on the door of one of his northern mentors.

“Stop knocking on my door because it frightens me,” the elder said to Hallendy. “Only white people and police knock on doors.”

From then on, Hallendy learned to just walk right in.

By learning to appreciate the land the way the Inuit do and by asking respectful questions, Hallendy earned the title Apirsuqti, or “the inquisitive one.”

But never would he directly demand that they answer his questions.

Instead, he would ask for help understanding something he was curious about.

“You were asking them to come out and help you, and that’s a very different approach to me saying, ‘I want to know something,’” he said.

This approach worked well, and the elders were eager to share their stories and language.

Being an entirely oral language, they appreciated someone taking the time to write their words down. They asked Hallendy to memorialize their thoughts for their children and grandchildren.

Hallendy has published two books about his research and exploration of the North, but is working on a third that will help him honour the promise he made to the elders who became his family, even thought they are now all dead.

“I want to say to them, I have now honoured my promise to you,” he said. “The third book will be about everything I learned up in the Arctic for a period of 50 years.”

The passing of each Inuit elder was more than just an individual death, Hallendy said.

“Their death represents the death of ideas, of words and expressions that can never be recaptured.”

The Inuit language includes enormous words that convey entire English sentences. Hallendy

Norman Hallendy is considered the world’s leading expert on inuksuit, the stone structures built by the Inuit to convey messages. Hallendy has spent 50 years charting the Arctic, but when he’s not exploring a world most have never seen, he lives in his family home in Carp. remembers hearing one word that meant, “the sound of little icicles which have been chipped from the ceiling of an igloo and fallen into a dish.”

As an ethnogeographer, Hallendy was interested in a unique perspective on the land he travelled. Ethnography is the study of people; geography is the study of land, and together those words form a discipline that involves looking at a landscape from the perspective of those who inhabit it.

“Your whole idea of the

world, you have to put it aside,” Hallendy said. “It’s a complete paradigm shift. Everything you learned in school is totally irrelevant.”

One of the topics he spent a lot of time studying were inuksuit (the plural of inukshuk), the stone statues whose name translates to, “that which acts in the capacity of a person.”

They are notoriously confused with innunguaq meaning, “that which is in the likeness of a person.”

The stone pillars resembling

little people, whose likeness appeared as the symbol for the recent Vancouver Olympics, are in fact innunguaq. An inukshuk is something like a stop sign, Hallendy said as an example.

There is no person there, but it contains a message meant for a person.

Inuksuit have no standardized structure – they can be built from any shaped rock, and are only relevant to the people who built them.

EXPLORER, from 2

Johnny Winter ready to rock Constance Bay COURTNEY SYMONS courtney.symons@metroland.com

After returning from a whirlwind European tour, blues guitarist Johnny Winter said he is excited to perform at the Constance and Buckham’s Bay Community Centre on Aug. 4.

“I actually like performing in the smaller venues,” Winter said. “It’s a better way to get closer to an audience with my music.”

Winter will perform alongside Canadian band David Gogo, which has two members who live in Constance Bay. Winter’s band has a new guitarist named Paul Nelson who will be joining him on stage, and said that audience members should be prepared to hear “some rock and roll and a whole lotta blues.”

Born in 1944 in Beaumont Texas, Winter acquired a love of music right from the start.

Winter was 15 when he formed his first band, Johnny and the Jammers, in 1959, a group that included his younger brother Edgar.

Living in a town with high racial tension didn’t stop Winter from visiting black neighbourhoods to listen to their music. That is how he fell in love with the blues.

When Winter was 17, he went to see B.B. King play at a Beaumont club, where he and his brother Edgar were the only two white faces in the crowd (extremely white, as they were both albino).

Blues bands will often invite other blues dudes to perform with them, and Winter desperately wanted up on that stage. King was hesitant, but after the crowd voiced their approval, Winter hopped right up there with the blues legend.

“He gave me his guitar and let me play,” he said. “I got a standing ovation.”

In 1968, Winter got his big break when Rolling Stone magazine profiled him as an up-and-coming musician from Texas.

It wasn’t long before the record companies started calling, and Winter signed on with Columbia Records.

The following year, he released a selftitled album which featured some classic blues covers, as well as two original songs – one of them, titled Dallas, remains Winters favourite to this day.

“I like the way it came out,” he said simply.

Winter released more albums, switching to Alligator Records in 1984. Since then, he has been nominated for two Grammy Awards, and even had a Gibson Guitar named after him. The Johnny Winter Firebird is a custom-made version of the 1963 Gibson Firebird that almost became an extension of Winter’s arm.

Throughout his career as a bluesman, Winter has struggled with various addictions. Somehow, he has put all that behind him and come out stronger, he said.

“I have done just about everything bad for someone that is available to do, and have quit everything, so all is good now and I’m feeling great,” he said. “I’m having a really good time playing my music for people.”

Describing music as being “everything” to him, Winter said that retirement is not in the near future.

“I’m a bluesman and will be one until the day I die, which won’t be anytime soon,” he said.

Winter’s newest album Roots will be released by Megaforce Records on Sept. 26, and features his younger brother Edgar in a couple of songs.

Johnny Winter is set to perform on Aug. 4 at the Constance & Buckham’s Bay Community Centre, and said he is excited to get close to his fans.

A structure that looks like a boat, for example, may be remembered as pointing towards the best hunting grounds.

There is nothing about the structure itself that speaks this meaning; it is only through word of mouth and personal relevance that the structure conveys its message.

“I keep preaching and screaming from the rooftops that people are misquoting the bloody thing,” Hallendy said of the misconceptions surrounding inuksuit.

He is considered the world’s leading expert on Inuit inuksuit; the world knew little about the stone structures and their meaning before Hallendy’s research.

A spokesperson for the Vancouver Olympics even called to consult with him about their chosen symbol for the games, but Hallendy was away on an expedition at the time.

Now that he is “pushing 80” as he put it, Hallendy’s travels have slowed down.

He is spending more time organizing all of the artifacts he has collected and produced throughout his years of research.

“I’m preparing material in such a way that I can make major donations before I kick the bucket,” he said cheekily.

Recently, Hallendy donated around 8,000 photographs to the McMichael Canadian Art Collection in Vaughan, Ont. His photography can also be found in the National Gallery, the Art Gallery of Ontario and the Northern Heritage Centre.

He also spearheads the Tukilik Foun-

dation (Tukilik translates to “a meaningful thing”), which is an online database of Hallendy’s knowledge and experiences. Its high-tech design earned it a link on the Smithsonian’s website.

His next trip up North will be to visit the graveyard where the elders who entrusted him are now entombed.

Until then, he will reside in his and wife Diana’s beautiful home in Carp, where they have lived since the 1950s.

“I love Carp,” he said. “Times have changed; there used to be one car a week that came down this road, but it’s still a great place to live.”

On October 6, Hallendy will speak at an event to raise money for the local X-Ray Vision Campaign which seeks to acquire a new machine for the West Carleton Family Health Centre.

“It’s important to me not because of theX-ray machine, not because Dr. Barry Bruce asked me to do it, but because of the people who work there and the attitude they have. The clinic is remarkable,” he said. “It really should get the assistance and help of the people it serves.”

Hallendy will take guests of the presentation, which will be held in the Diefenbunker, back 12 billion years when the universe was being formed, and right up until the moment when the Inuit people first began to traverse the Arctic.

Event details will be made available closer to the event.

Scotiabank Place site of new on ramp, park and ride LAURA MUELLER laura.mueller@metroland.com

Leaving Scotiabank Place after a big event is set to get a lot easier with the announcement of plans to build a new ramp onto Hwy. 417.

OC Transpo buses will have priority to use the new ramp, but high-occupancy vehicles will also be allowed.

Instead of sitting in a traffic snarl after Ottawa Senators games and major concerts, transit users will be the first to exit the parking lot. The ramp will reduce the amount of time it takes to get out of the arena’s parking lot from 17 or 18 minutes to just two minutes, said Mayor Jim Watson.

“This will make using OC Transpo faster, safer and easier,” Watson said.

The ramp will be constructed within the next two years, in conjunction with the next phase of highway widening between Eagleson Road and Palladium Drive, which will add two lanes (including one bus/high-occupancy vehicle lane) in each direction on the Queensway.

It will cost $750,000 to build the ramp; the Ontario government will contribute $500,000, with the city contributing $250,000. The Senators will pay for engineering costs and would foot the bill if it went over $750,000, said the team’s president, Cyril Leeder.

PARK AND RIDE The new ramp has also paved the way for a long-awaited OC Transpo park and ride lot at Scotiabank Place.

The park and ride will open this fall, so west-end commuters can leave their cars in the lot and take OC Transpo into the downtown.

The lot will have 100 spaces for vehicles, and it will be served by express bus routes 261 and 263.

Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson said the park and ride will only be served by those two express routes because of time restrictions on the lot (it can’t be used as a park and ride in the evening, when events take place at the arena) and because the lot on the smaller side.

Wilkinson and Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri have been working on getting the park and ride for about four years, Wilkinson said. Kanata South Coun.

Allan Hubley made the issue a campaign promise in last year’s election.

“What some of the former councillors were talking about was … buying a piece of land somewhere and taking five years to go through the whole process of paving it and park cars on it,” Hubley said. “I was saying, ‘Why would we do that when we have an available lot here?’”

“It is the largest parking lot in the city and it essentially goes unused every single business day,” Leeder added.

The city and Senators Sports and Entertainment are still ironing out the details of the agreement, but it will see the city paying for some maintenance costs – including snow plowing – in lieu of rent, Leeder said.

The closest park and ride is at Eagleson, and Wilkinson said that lot is at capacity – as is the Terry Fox park and ride.

HOLIDAY ADVERTISING DEADLINE

Councillor, MP tour community FEDERAL AID, from 1 El-Chantiry has offered to enlist a city truck to come to the end of Marshall Bay road to pick up any debris residents need removed.

Part of the damaged land belongs to the Nature Conservacy Canada, where “you can’t even pick a wildflower without their permission,” El-Chantiry said.

Clearing debris from that region can’t be done by anyone but them, and ElChantiry said he hopes they do some maintenance soon as the fallen trunks and branches are a fire hazard.

Although extensive damage was done to property, no injuries were reported.

“Thank God nobody got hurt,” ElChantiry said. “It’s hard to believe, to be honest with you.”

The close-calls were many. One cottageowners bedroom was crushed by a tree, but thankfully she was in the kitchen at the time. Another cottage had five trees topple onto it. No one was in any of the five cars that were damaged.

“If you were sitting in one of those

cars waiting for the storm to pass, you would have been really, really hurt,” he said. “We are lucky. We should count our blessings.”

O’Connor said that although Marshall Bay residents have a “monster challenge ahead of them,” he commends their efforts so far.

“I’m impressed with their forbearance,” he said. “They’re in there working as hard as they can to clean up their area.”

At least something positive has come out of this mess.

“It seems we get along better in a time like this,” El-Chantiry said.

One Marshall Bay resident owns a generator, and made coffee for everyone the next morning because the power was still out.

“It’s a simple cup of coffee, but believe me, if I’m going to face a bad day, I’d love a cup of coffee,” El-Chantiry said.

Clean-up continues in Marshall Bay, but neither councilor knows when the official ruling will be made as to whether government aid will be supplied.

COURTNEY SYMONS courtney.symons@metroland.com

Last year, Jim McKaig took his wife and kids to the Carp Fair. On their way out, something caught his eye.

“I happened to notice something on the ground,” he said. “It had an oxidized copper look to it so I knew it was a coin.”

He bent over to pick up the greentinted coin, and admits now that at first he thought it was a loonie – a rare find on its own.

Upon closer inspection, McKaig realized he had stumbled upon an 1854 Upper Canada half-penny, dated a decade before the first Carp Fair ever even took place in 1863.

“It was probably dropped sometime fairly early on when the fair started,” McKaig said. “Someone was probably walking around with a ten-year-old coin in their pocket and dropped it.”

One side, brandished with the green colour of old copper, sports an intricate anchor. The other shows a man on a horse and reads “Bank of Upper Canada 1854” around the edge.

On July 21, McKaig donated the coin to the Canadian Agricultural Society to remain there as an artifact.

“I think it belongs there,” McKaig said. “I looked into it, it’s a half-penny but it’s now worth, say, $20. I’d rather donate it to the fair.”

Joyce Trafford, the general manager of the Carp Agricultural Society, said she is thrilled with the donation.

On the wall of their office hangs the first one dollar bill earned by the Carp Fair when it opened in 1863, and this coin deserves a place right next to it, she said.

McKaig discovered the coin in the

ARNPRIOR'S HISTORIC THEATRE FRIDAY, JULY 29 - THURSDAY, AUGUST 4

gravel on the far end of the parking lot, partially buried by loose bits of rock.

“When you think of how many times the lot has been graded and dug up…”

Trafford said, “It’s really neat.”

Trafford said that there is always someone who circles the Carp Fairgrounds after the fair with a metal detector looking for loose change and buried treasure. This, plus the thousands of people who must have walked by or over the coin in the past, adds to the fluke of McKaig’s find.

The Carp Fair has always been located at the fair grounds in Carp. The coin would have been in the pocket of one of the first fair-goers, McKaig said.

When the fair first began almost 150 years ago, “It was a celebration,” Traf-

ford said. “The farmer’s crops were in, they were finished harvesting for the year, and it was a time to get together and celebrate.”

Many of the original festivities remain the same as today – the opportunity to see fellow community members and show off your produce and animals.

The 148th Carp Fair will take place this year from September 22 to 25.

Golf tournament returns

Annual charity tournament in nineth year COURTNEY SYMONS courtney.symons@metroland.com

When Jon Brunette passed away in March of 2003, his mother Val Brunette said it only took a day before the idea for a memorial golf tournament took shape.

Almost a decade later, that tournament is still going strong.

The 9th annual Jon Brunette Memorial Golf Tournament will be held on Saturday, Aug. 6 at the Irish Hills Golf & Country Club in Carp.

Jon was only 20 when he died in a snowmobile accident. At the time, he was playing for the Arnprior Packers Junior B hockey team. He had just become a volunteer firefighter at the Dunrobin fire station, something he was proud of and enjoyed very much. His life revolved around sports and helping others – two themes that led to creation of the memorial tournament.

Proceeds from the event are used to sponsor two West Carleton AA minor hockey players each year.

Hockey is a costly sport because of high registration fees, expensive equipment, and often extensive travelling, and money is donated to two special athletes each year to help offset the expense.

For the first four years, the memorial fund sponsored Alan MacPherson, one of Brunette’s old teammates who now plays hockey on a scholarship in the United States.

Some of the profits also go towards the West Carleton Minor Hockey Initiation program, an event that takes place every March for four to five year olds learning to play. The memorial fund provides all the trophies and drinks for the attendees.

The golf tournament is a “small, West Carleton affair” said Val, with around 20 teams participating in total.

“The people who are golfing are the

Nine years later, his memory still lives on in a memorial golf tournament to raise money for West Carleton hockey players. people who have golfed for years,” she said. “What it has become is kind of a reunion of all Jon’s friends. They’re all over the place, but still they come home to play.”

Val has always been involved in organizing the tournament, but next year Jon’s friends will take over and continue to run the event in his honour.

The tournament, which takes place around Jon’s birthday on Aug. 8, has taken on even more meaning to Val after her husband Malcolm passed away in August of 2007 on the day after Jon’s birthday.

“It’s always an emotional time for me,” she said.

What is known by some as “Jon’s Day,” this Aug. 6 will see his friends and family returning once again to the green, as they have faithfully for years.

“That’s what drives me to continue doing it,” Val said. “It’s because they want to do it. They want to get together for one day and celebrate Jon’s memory.”

To find out more about the memorial tournament or to register for the event, contact Val Brunette at 613-832-1346 or v.brunette@xplornet.com.

Dunrobin Dames dominate at international dragonboat festival COURTNEY SYMONS courtney.symons@metroland.com

A local dragonboating team proved to be fierce competitors on an international stage this weekend at the World ICF Dragonboat Club Crew Championships in Toronto.

The Dunrobin Dames earned two silver medals and one bronze during the tournament that ran from July 21-24.

On Thursday July 21, the Dames raced their 20-person boat in the 200 metre race and earned a silver medal right off the bat.

Friday was a day to rest, but Saturday they competed in the 20-person, 500 metre race and again placed second – coming in only 2-10ths of a second behind

the German team that took the gold.

That evening, they won a bronze medal in the two-kilometre race with their trusty 20-person boat.

“I’m so impressed that we did what we did,” Dunrobin Dame member LA Schmidt said. “We’re an over-40 crew, we all have lives, we have families to take care of, we work professionally, and it was really cool to see the ladies come together like this.”

While the team didn’t place in any of the races in a 10-person boat, Schmidt said that without a 10-person boat of their own they were unable to practice in one.

Construction worker Petter Wramhed braves the heat during last Thursday’s heat wave.

Last year, one of her coworkers was working at a similar roadside stand on a particularly hot day, and a regular came to bring her a kiddie pool to dunk her feet into.

“I could use one of those today,” Kinney said.

West Carleton-March Coun. Eli ElChantiry said that all community centres are open during hot days like these in case anyone requires assistance.

He also offered some advice: “Make sure you check on your elderly mother, grandmother, or neighbours,” he said.

The elderly may have increased difficulties breathing and coping with the heat, so their safety is a top priority on muggy days.

“Today there are quite a few golfers who have stayed off the course because it’s so hot,” employee Marc Bedard said.

A freezer advertising various frozen delights sat temptingly in one corner of the club, but was unfortunately empty.

“We need to get some more,” Bedard said. “We’re out for now.”

Further south at the Hillsview Plaza on March Road, Kerri Kinney bravely sold fresh produce from McGregors Produce, a farm out in Braeside, Ont. “Usually I have a chair and I sit under the tent,” she said. “The shade moves around and I move around with it.”

On this day, she had forgotten her chair and sought shelter inside her van instead. Any driver who gets into a vehicle on a hot day knows that this probably didn’t offer much relief at all.

“I might have to move onto the grass,” she said.

Thermometers were set to explode this week as temperatures rose to near-historic highs.

Thursday, July 21, was particularly sweltering – temperatures reached 36 C by late afternoon, but it felt like 47 C with the humidex.

On days like these, most people run for cover into air-conditioned havens.

Some poor unfortunate souls, however, don’t have that option as their job requires them to be out in the blistering heat.

Shane Kosnaski was one of those sunbathers, working outside for a private construction company on Carp Road Thursday morning.

“So far I feel fine,” he said. “We have a cooler full of ice and water, and we’re taking lots of breaks. And then, when it gets unbearable, we’ll go home.”

Kosnaski suffered from heat stress last year – a milder version of heat stroke which gave him some dizziness and nausea.

Nothing compared to what his coworker Petter Wramhed faced when he succumbed to full-blown heat stroke last summer.

“I started throwing up and passed out,” Wramhed said. “It was a long day of work. We stayed in the shade and drank lots of water, but it was hard to avoid.”

Thankfully, his foreman took him to the hospital and his colleagues drove his car home.

But not every construction worker is doomed to suffer the wrath of heat stroke.

Chris Richard said he has always managed to stay safe and hydrated, and was able to remain optimistic about surviving the day on Thursday.

“As long some clouds stay up there, we’ll be alright,” he said.

In another area of West Carleton, the Copperdale Golf Club on Dunrobin Road saw empty greens in the morning.

Policy, not pandering, please

E

ven with the scorching temperatures experienced across the province over the past few weeks, Ontarians should be forgiven if they thought Christmas had come a few months early this year.

The gifts, or promise of, have been flowing freely this summer as part of the relentless efforts by Ontario politicians to win the hearts and minds of voters ahead of the Oct. 6 election.

In one corner, we have Dalton McGuinty’s Liberal government falling over itself to spend as much money as possible before the election fall campaign officially kicks off. In Ottawa alone last week, there were four separate funding announcements made by the Liberals totalling more than $20 million.

In the other corner are the Progressive Conservatives and New Democrats, led by Tim Hudak and Andrea Horwath respectively, who have been zipping across the province promising to “put more money in your pocket” and “put you and your family first.” The policies the opposition parties have been endlessly touting since the end of the legislative session range from removing the Harmonized Sales Tax from electricity, heat-

ing and gasoline to killing the mandatory hydro smart meter program to creating a “buy Ontario” law.

With a budget deficit of slightly less than $19 billion for 2010-2011, Ontario is in no position to take its finances lightly. We don’t have the revenue available to throw away on the whimsy of a government that is trailing in the polls, nor can we afford to remove sources of public revenue based on the populist impulses of the challengers.

There are a great many challenges facing this province right now. Health care continues to consume a massive proportion of government resources and the baby boomers have yet to experience the worst frailties of old age. We still have an economy largely oriented towards manufacturing, but has yet to recover from the great recession and is coping with a dollar worth five cents more than the American greenback.

We have crumbling infrastructure across the province, but no comprehensive plan to address what ultimately becomes a drain on the economy.

Any man or woman can promise the moon, but it takes a brave leader to face challenges head on.

This is our vacation

T

here’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 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 10 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.” “I hate Algonquin Park.”

“Algonquin Park has 2,456 lakes. You’ve only seen one of them. You can’t possibly hate Algonquin Park.”

Silence. Silence and moping. And then.

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse “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. All of a sudden, they disappeared under the water, and that’s when I realized that loons can hold their breath for an indefinite amount of time.

An hour later, we returned to our campsite, just as my husband and younger son were emerging from the tent, fullydressed, according to the rule. My eldest had a huge smile on his face. He pulled out his sketch pad and drew a picture of the things we saw that morning.

“Mom,” he announced, “I used five different colours of green in my picture.”

“Perfect,” I said. And that was the beginning of our vacation.

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 proj ect.

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 real ization 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.

Police

Home paintballed, egged Patrol officers in the West Carleton area responded to 65 general calls for service from the public for the reporting period of July 15-21. From these calls for service the following is a partial breakdown of incidents by community: • Constance Bay: one lost-item, one mischief.

• Fitzroy Harbour: one assault.

• West Carleton: one fraud.

• Crown Point: one bylaw.

• Greenlands: one theft.

In addition to the calls for service, patrol officers are also proactively enforcing the highway traffic laws, responding to false 911 and alarm calls, and assisting the Ottawa fire, paramedics and bylaw services.

HOME SELLERS BEWARE Before allowing potential home buyers into your house remember to safeguard those small valuables items that can easily be lifted by those acting in bad faith.

Police are currently investigating a fraud incident in the West Carleton area where a couple lifted a credit card out of a wallet during their walkthrough of an open house and racked up over six hundred dollars in charges at a local grocery store, a short time later. The credit card was discovered missing when the homeowner happened upon her wallet stashed underneath a bathroom sink.

Before the credit card could be cancelled, the female visitor, who was known to police, filled her car up with fuel and stocked up on groceries.

Although theft during open houses is not a common occurrence, it is something that does happen and unfortunately, it’s often the small items with the most sentimental value that find their way into a thief ’s hands.

DEER COLLISION COUNTER Week 29 and five more deer collisions were reported in the rural west districts; two in West Carleton and three in the Rideau-Goulbourn ward.

The total score now stands at 73 to 48, in favor of Rideau-Goulbourn.

ASSAULT • July 17: Harbour Street, Fitzroy Harbour: A partner assault call that originated in Fitzroy Harbour and quickly made its way over to a nearby Provincial Park campground, ended with an arrest of a 32year-old male by OPP and Ottawa police officers.

• Witnesses reported that a male driver and female passenger had become embroiled in a heated argument right in front of the harbour store. The male was observed pulling the woman’s hair as he attempted to get something out of her hand.

As the woman screamed out for help the man violently threw her back into the passenger seat of his car and raced off towards the park.

BYLAW • July 18: Dunrobin Road, Crown Point: While out walking along Dunrobin Road near Crown Point, a complainant’s dog was unexpectedly charged by a large unsupervised dog that was described as a cross between a lab and a possible pitbull. Sev-

A country wedding with a Muslim touch

W

e rushed through our farm chores Saturday so we could get ready for the wedding of a friend’s daughter.

The event took place in the garden of their sprawling Kemptville property.

The bride, dressed in a simple strapless white-and-ivory banded gown (from J.Crew online) was marrying a Muslim man in a simple dark suit, in a non-denominational ceremony with very simple vows.

The bridal party consisted of the groom, best man, bride and man of honour, for a change.

The officiator began by prompting the groom to propose marriage to his beloved.

Then the bride answered, “I wed myself to you, promise to love and honor and be faithful to you and to support our children, and grandchildren, for the rest of my life.”

The groom repeats that he will do the same.

Ten minutes and it was all done – which was a good thing, because just then the overcast sky cleared and a blistering sun began beating down on all of us.

Then it was time for the party.

While the bridal group took wedding photos among the lilies and hostas in the garden, we were treated to lavender-infused gin-and-lemonade cocktails. Some of us found our way around the back of the house to the washroom-on-wheels, which was a treat in itself.

You climb up a set of stairs to enter a

DIANA FISHER Accidental Farmwife lovely air-conditioned bathroom equipped with fresh, fragrant flowers, hair spray, breath mints, hand cream and anything else you might need to freshen yourself up a bit.

I stayed in there as long as politely possible.

When I reluctantly opened the door to re-enter the oppressive heat, a small group of my friends was standing there looking at me, perturbed. Those washrooms saw a lot of action that night, as the heat continued until well after dark.

Dinner was created and served by Epicurea, an Ottawa caterer, in a tent decorated in crisp white linens and perfumed lilies and roses.

Interestingly, the bride and groom were seated at their own tiny table for two at the front of the tent. I impressed myself by eating blue cheese for the first time, but some of the farmer types at my table didn’t touch their antipasto plate at all.

After a wonderful chicken dinner, each key person in the celebration delivered a short, sweet speech. The theme of less-ismore was refreshing and authentic.

Cops issue vehicle anti-theft cards OTTAWA POLICE The Ottawa police started issuing “All Valuables Removed” warning cards this week to drivers to help raise awareness and combat theft from vehicles – a city wide crime trend.

Members of the media are invited to a photo opportunity where Ottawa police Sgt. Denis Hull will be discussing the initiative and demonstrating the best and worst ways to keep valuables out of view with the help of staged vulnerable vehicles.

The new “All Valuables Removed”

482758

warning cards will also be distributed by police volunteers and auxiliary members.

Thefts from vehicles are particularly high from June to October, and a good way to reduce these thefts is by lowering opportunities for criminals.

With the “All Valuables Removed” initiative, residents will be instructed to remove their valuables from their vehicle, or secure them out of sight, and place a warning card in their window, letting would-be-thieves know not to bother searching their car, and also reminding others to take the same precautions.

Dancing followed dessert, and the bride and groom danced their traditional first dance as husband and wife.

After that, the father of the bride danced with his daughter. Sniff. Then the couple disappeared for a few minutes, to change out of their formal wedding clothes.

As the music continued, I felt it was time to let the hair down, kick the shoes off and dance to a few Middle Eastern-fusion tunes with friends.

One hand in the air screws in the lightbulb, other hand down low pats the dog, slowly turn in a circle and rose up on one toe, like a funky whirling dervish. That’s how I learned to dance in Asia. Soon I had

everyone doing it.

Then with a unique cultural twist, a troupe of belly dancers, one with a lit candlebra on her headdress, led the newly married couple back into the tent. We were treated to a series of traditional ethnic dance numbers, much to our collective delight.

It was an honour to be invited to such a special event.

I love weddings. And after all that whirling, I burned enough calories that I didn’t have to go for my five-kilometre walk the next morning.

The Ottawa police is now accepting applications for auxiliary policing volunteer opportunities. The deadline for submissions is Aug. 31.

The auxiliary police project is a volunteer program, intended to enhance community based policing by providing an opportunity for citizens to participate and volunteer with law enforcement.

Auxiliary police volunteers will provide a complementary service to the sworn officers by assisting officers while under constant supervision.

Auxiliary police receive training to conduct duties such as delivering crime prevention programs, searching for missing persons, foot patrol, community policing functions and other routine non-police officer duties as assigned.

Applicants must be 18 years or older, possess a high school diploma, live in Ottawa, be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, be of good moral character, meet a minimum general fitness level and pass a background clearance check.

Due to the amount of time required in the selection and training process, we ask all members to commit for a minimum of two years (minimum of 160 volunteer hours per year, plus training).

To complete an application, visit ottawapolice.ca.

City, union pleased with transit contract REVIEW STAFF The president of OC Transpo’s union says an arbitrator’s decision on the group’s outstanding contract is “win-win” for the union and the city.

An arbitration panel decided that draft collective agreement the city put in place last year

Queale’s satisfaction.

“I’m pleased that this final decision puts the dispute behind us and concludes a long and difficult round of negotiations,” Watson said in a press release on July 23.

Now that the last contract is finally wrapped up, the city and the ATU can move on to discussing the next collective agree-

Members of the Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU) Local 279 were on board with the decision, which applies to the contract covering the period of 2008-11.

“They were pleased,” said union president Garry Queale, shortly after speaking to union members on Monday.

Mayor Jim Watson echoed

complies with the panel’s instructions to create a scheduling system that is consistent with other North American cities.

The decision, delivered overnight on July 22, means the city will have to stick to mandated “spread” times (the amount of time between the start and end of a shift) for scheduling drivers.

ment.

“This has to do with the 2008 contract. That is now closed, and we will begin negotiations ASAP – as soon as possible,” Queale said.

“I think they will be difficult negotiations, but I think hopefully we can have a good resolve to it without any labour disputes.

LAURA MUELLER laura.mueller@metroland.com

The city can afford its ambitious transit plans for the next 38 years, but the federal and provincial governments will have to keep up their contributions to make it happen.

Paying for light rail and other

transit projects will also rely on fares and transit-related taxes increasing by the rate of inflation each year.

But if those two puzzle pieces are in place, the city’s transit financial house is in order, said city treasurer Marian Simulik.

Simulik updated city council on the long-range financial

plan for transit during a July 14 meeting.

The city’s transportation master plan lists $18.6 billion in repairs and improvements to the transit system by 2031.

The city will spend $9.75 billion of that between now and 2031, which includes the construction of the city’s first light-

rail system, set to open in 2018.

An additional $8.87 billion will be spent between 2032 and 2048.

To make that possible, the city will need to break its own limit for how much tax-supported debt it takes on.

The city estimates it will need to borrow $5.2 billion to make up the difference.

By its peak at 2031, the city will require 14 per cent of its own source revenues to service its debt (including three per cent for transit investments).

That’s double the city’s limit on tax-supported debt servicing, but far below the provincially regulated limit of 25 per cent.
