Residents question hydro plans for Beaverbrook Land flattened, shed demolished along Morgan’s Grant corridor BY JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Many Beaverbrook residents are concerned after discovering Hydro One has marked trees on their properties. A number of homeowners discovered orange spraypaint on their trees last month. Neighbours, concerned about what the markings could mean, sent a flurry of emails back and forth. The trees, many large and more than 50 years old, are located within Hydro One’s easement for its power lines, which extends 12 metres on either side of the centre line. The corridor overlaps the backyards and properties of at least 125 homes in the area, as well as the Kanata Golf and Country Club, said Neil Thomson, president of the Kanata Beaverbrook Community Association.

Police seek two suspects for string of west end break ins BY JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Ottawa police are now looking for two suspects after a string of commercial breakand-enters in the city’s west end, including multiple forced entries at a fast food restaurant in south Kanata. Five break-ins – three in Kanata, and one each in Stittsville and the Carlington area of west Ottawa – took place from June 25 to July 10. Police first requested the public’s help in identifying the first suspect on June 21. “Since then we’ve picked up the additional images and also images of the second suspect,” said Staff Sgt. Michael Haarbosch, with the police robbery and break-and-enter units, on July 28. “That’s one of the reasons we’re (senidng alerts) out today.” All three break-and-enters in Kanata took place at the same fast food restaurant, located along the 600 block of Eagleson Road, on different occasions: during the overnight hours of June 6 and 7, sometime overnight on June 25 and

26, and again on July 10, said Haarbosch. In back-to-back break-ins, the suspects entered a commercial building along the 1500 block of Laperriere Avenue in the Carlington community on June 25. Sometime during the overnight hours of June 26 and 27, the suspects forced their way into a building along the 200 block of Iber Road in Stittsville, Haarbosch said. Investigators also released an image of a silver or grey, mid-2000 model Pontiac Montana van. The vehicle was captured on video at one of the break-in sites, said police in a news release. Police so far don’t have any

leads on the suspects or the vehicle, said Haarbosch. “That’s why we’re going back out again, now with new images of both,” he said. “(We’re) hop-

The largest Little League charity tournament in Canada will hit diamonds in Kanata beginning Friday, Aug. 4, and organizers are hoping to raise a record amount of funds for CHEO. The Scott Tokessy Memorial Gold Glove Tournament, now in its 22nd year, has donated $340,000 to the hospital’s cardiology department to date. Major sponsor CP Rail is donating $10,000, with an additional promise to match donations up to $12,500, said Amanda Cockburn, volunteer co-ordinator for the event. “We’ve never had something that big at the tournament,” she said. “We’re very grateful.” The three-day tournament, which runs Aug. 4 to 6, attracts hundreds of players and raises funds for CHEO’s cardiology department in memory of Scott Tokessy. The young player died in 1996, three days before his 12th birthday, while playing baseball. Scott hit a home run for his house-league team but after rounding the bases he collapsed due to an irregular heartbeat – a condition that wasn’t known at the time. The memorial tournament began that year and has continued to grow ever since. “It brings together the community,” said Cockburn, whose eight-year-old son plays Kanata Little League. “It’s really great for the family. It’s a great way to honour their son around the sport

their son loved.” This year, more than 50 teams from the minor, major, junior and rookie divisions are registered, with more than 750 players from Ottawa and the Valley, southern, central and eastern Ontario, western Quebec and upstate New York expected to descend on Kanata fields, said Cockburn. The tournament, she said, is worth watching. “It’s such good baseball – it’s great-calibre baseball,” Cockburn said.

them to get their hours,” said Cockburn. “They get to come and enjoy the weekend.” The event will also feature prizes, raffle draws and a silent auction. Tickets to the Ottawa Senators home opener against the Washington Capitals will be up for grabs. For those who can’t make it to watch in person, they can donate to CHEO through the tournament website. “It all goes to the cardiology department,” Cockburn said, adding a number of community sponsors help make the tournament possible every year. “Something really great has come from this.” Games will take place at the Scott Tokessy Field, located at the corner of Maple Grove Road and Terry Fox Drive, as well as at Roland Michener Park, Bridlewood Core Fields, east and west Walter Baker Fields and Kinsmen Fields. Opening ceremonies begin at 10 a.m. on Saturday, Aug. 5, at Scott Tokessy Field. For more information, to volunteer or to donate, visit tokessytournament.com.

OPINION

Connected to your community

An uncharitable idea

he Salvation Army does good work in this city, but that does not make the organization immune from making bad decisions. The Salvation Army is seeking a zoning change to allow it to move a homeless shelter from King Edward Avenue area to Vanier. The request comes as a shock to the people who call Vanier home. No community should have this sprung on them. If built, a shelter would likely draw inebriated or otherwise unwell people into a residential neighbourhood. That’s not an improvement – it’s a step backwards. Yes, city council can allow a move, but there is nothing in the plan to suggest it will improve outcomes for the people in need. Instead it will turn a neighbourhood upside down for the sake of optics. Getting the homeless out of view of the tourists in the ByWard Market seems to be the driving force behind the proposal, and one reason Mayor Jim Watson is backing it. Getting people out of sight should not be the goal when spending money on

homelessness. Real homes and real help should be the only goal. All else is, in a word, uncharitable. And will this be a case of out of sight, out of mind? Will Ottawans find it easier to ignore the fact that there are people in such need? There is demand for the services offered by the Salvation Army. That’s why we have zoning in this city – so development happens in a predictable way, and in a way that the neighbours have a say about their neighbourhood. The site picked by the Salvation Army is not zoned for a shelter. It’s not a use any neighbour could foresee. This is not just an issue for Vanier. No one is immune. If a surprise like this can be sprung on Vanier, every resident of Ottawa should know that other councillors could gang up on your neighbourhood and stick something unwanted on your street. City councillors should put community before complicity and refuse the rezoning request.

The digitization of real estate

friend of mine recently travelled to British Columbia from Ontario to search for a house over a weekend. She spent a whopping amount of money on airline tickets, hotels and meals for what was anything but a vacation. But perhaps she needn’t have bothered. A new study from HSBC Global suggests that Canadians are starting to buy real estate the same way they’re purchasing groceries, clothing and household goods — on the internet. According to HSBC, home-buying and the services that go along with it — legal services, realtors and mortgage lending — are increasingly occurring online. HSBC’s Beyond the Bricks: The Future of Home-buying is based on a

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse global survey of 9,000 individuals. Canadians, as it turns out, are among the most active online real estate buyers. Ninety per cent of Canadians turn to the internet to search new properties — compared to the global average of 83 per cent. Three quarters of Canadian homebuyers are using digital technology to research financing options. “From online mortgage specialists to paperless mortgage renewals, technology is rapidly changing how we engage with and serve our customers in Canada and across the globe,” says

Larry Tomei, executive vice-president of retail banking and wealth management at HSBC Bank Canada. “This latest research suggests that the property industry is poised for technological disruption, significantly changing how home buyers approach each of the three key phases of home buying: researching, financing and purchasing.” This has enormous implications for realtors. Indeed, more than a quarter of Canadian survey respondents (27 per cent) “say that dealing with the many people involved (real estate agents, lawyers, sellers and developers) was the biggest ‘pain point’ in the home-buying process,” reports HSBC. The study advises realtors and others on the periphery of real estate purchases to embrace technology or find themselves on the losing end. That Canadians are turning to digi-

tal technology for home-buying may not come as a big surprise to some. Canadians have a reputation for early adoption of digital technology. By 2019, it’s anticipated Canadians will spend $39 billion online annually, representing nearly 10 per cent of all consumer purchases. Canadian companies are increasingly embracing the internet to sell goods beyond our borders, as well. “Statistics Canada’s data (in their most recent data on the topic) reports that Canadian companies sold more than $136 billion in goods and services online in 2013, up from $122 billion a year earlier,” reports the Canadian Internet Registration Authority’s 2016 Factbook on e-commerce.

Trump tweets highlight need for pride events: Watson BY MELISSA MURRAY mmurray@metroland.com

The same day U.S. President Donald Trump tweeted about banning transgender individuals from serving in the military, Capital Pride was announcing its lineup for Pride Week. At the announcement, Mayor Jim Watson said it’s actions like Trump’s that are a reminder of why the city needs a pride festival and parade. “We see an action like Donald Trump, who has banned trans people from joining the army of the United States, and that’s exactly why we need to continue to have pride festivals and pride parades and let people know the struggle continues in many parts of the world and even in our own city,” he said. “It really is an opportunity to celebrate diversity and inclusiveness in our community, in our society and right here in our own neighbourhood.” Pride Week begins Aug. 21 with a flag raising at city hall and it finishes on Aug. 27. The theme for Capital Pride 2017 is

Just Be. “Just Be acknowledges the path to true identity and self expression, both as an individual journey as well as the one we share with our community,” said Capital Pride’s board chair Tammy Dopson. “By allowing us to be ourselves, we make way for greater acceptance understanding and celebration of our differences. We look forward to you joining us for the 2017 festival and helping to create a place where we can all Just Be.’” That theme doesn’t conflict with the “respectful request” that Ottawa’s police officers leave their uniforms at home if walking in the pride parade this year, Dopson said after the event. On June 30, the festival organizers released a statement saying at the request of their LGBTQ youth, uniformed police officers would not be welcome to attend Capital Pride activities while off duty. On July 5, Police Chief Charles Bordeleau tweeted that his plan was to march in the parade in uniform, with

fellow officers. “Our request was pretty open-ended to begin with,” Dopson said. "We didn’t ban, we didn’t exclude — these are not part of our vernacular. We made a respectful request about what messaging they wanted to put out into the community, and we felt the strongest message they could send was with respect to setting aside the uniform." This year’s event lineup focuses on diversity, inclusiveness and local talent. “Music and art are both powerful mediums for sharing experiences, storytelling and connecting with one another, and our festival is truly a platform for the LGBTQ community to have their voices heard and to share their stories,” said festival producer Mike Connors. “That’s why it’s so important that our programming is diverse and a true reflection of the community.” After the pride parade on Aug. 27, musical acts will take to the stage on Bank Street.

The show features American rapper, poet and activist Mykki Blanco, DJ Shub, DJ Jungle Jen, Shawnee, and the Peptides. The all-ages Fresh Zone performers are Disco Drag with Kitty Funk and the Queens, Amanda Rheaume, Kimberly Sunstrum, Capital Kings, Drag Story Time and DJ Grace.

madness,” he said. The parade, a highlight of the week, takes place Aug. 27 at 1:30 p.m. “We’ve seen an increase in entries over 2016 and I kind of have a feeling this will be the biggest pride parade Ottawa has seen yet,” Connors said. For more information about the week, visit www.ottawacapitalpride.ca.

This year there are more than 30 community events happening across Ottawa during Pride Week. Connors also highlighted events like the new Shine your Light Youth Dance on Aug. 23 and the ALT Queer Art and Fashion Swap, happening at Arts Court on Aug. 21. “We are expecting it to be Black Friday-level shopping

Notice of Completion Kennedy-Burnett Stormwater Management Facility Class Environmental Assessment Project File and Functional Design Report Available for Review The City of Ottawa has completed a Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) and functional design for the proposed expansion and retrofit to the Kennedy-Burnett Stormwater Management Facility. The project was identified as a preferred alternative in the South Nepean Urban Area Master Servicing and Environmental Study. The existing Kennedy-Burnett Stormwater Management Facility receives runoff from approximately 200 hectares of predominantly residential lands north of Strandherd Drive, along with a portion of commercial development in the Barrhaven Town Centre. The facility will be expanded and retrofitted to provide enhanced water quality treatment consistent with Ministry of Environment and Climate Change requirements for the existing serviced area as well as the proposed developments adjacent to the facility south of Strandherd Drive. The preferred servicing option for the proposed development lands was also determined as part of this study. A portion of the development lands are to be treated by the expanded facility, while the remaining areas would outlet to the Fraser-Clarke Drain or the Jock River with water quality treatment provided predominantly by hydrodynamic separators. A small new stormwater management pond on the Minto Lands to the west of the existing facility is required to provide stormwater quantity and quality control to existing and future residential areas draining to the Fraser-Clarke Drain. Consultation, in the form of technical advisory committee meetings and two public open houses were incorporated as part of the Class EA process and are documented in the Project File and Functional Design Report. The Kennedy-Burnett Stormwater Management Facility Project File and Functional Design Report details the study process, findings and recommendations. The public is invited to review the report, available at the following locations:

Legion marks Dieppe Raid on Aug. 18 Ceremony scheduled for Kanata Cenotaph ROYAL CANADIAN LEGION KANATA BRANCH

Seventy-five years ago, Aug. 19, 1942, in the dark of the early morning, a mixed fleet of 237 vessels arrived off the coast of Normandy. On board were 6,000 men who were to conduct a raid in strength against the port city of Dieppe; a plan conceived by Lord Louis Mountbatten’s Combined Operations Command. Five thousand of the raiders were members of the Canadian Army’s Second Division. The other thousand were British troops mostly drawn from Commando Groups 3 and 4 and the Royal Marine Commandos. A handful of American Rangers were attached to the commandos. Troops were in the act of transferring from the troopships into smaller landing craft and beginning the 15-kilometre transit to the eight landing sites when there was an exchange of gunfire at sea. A German coastal convoy had crossed the path of a column of the attackers’ fleet precipitatingFriends the exchange fire,Central ending the ofofthe raiders’ hope of a surprise landing — a funExperimental damental requirement for the raid’sFarm success. Instead, as the landing craft approached the beaches they were met by an alert enemy in well-planned and protected defensive positions possessing formidable firepower, a prepared firing plan and pre-selected and sighted target areas. The Canadians and British left their

transport and stepped into fire-swept killing grounds to be scythed down by artillery, mortar and machine gunfire. Despite many individual acts of courage (two Victoria Crosses were awarded) and repeated efforts by the units engaged to overcome hopeless odds, only one group of raiders, a much reduced element of the fourth commando, succeeded in meeting its assigned objective. Seven hours after the first soldiers hit the beaches, the fleet had withdrawn, taking the remnants of the raiding force back to Britain. Of the 4,963 Canadians embarked almost 900 were killed; 1,946, 568 of whom were wounded, were taken prisoner. Seventy-one of the wounded died in captivity. Two thousand and eleven returned to Britain; 589 of them wounded, 28 mortally. The British units suffered 271 casualties: killed, wounded and prisoners. For the Canadians it was the single most costly day of the Second World War. More Canadians became prisoners of war on Aug. 19 than the total for the rest of the war. Nonetheless, the defeat cannot be attributed to shortcomings in the quality of troops involved. The reports of the German 15th Army headquarters included the following appreciation: “The large number of prisoners might leave the impression that the fighting value of the English and Canadian units employed

Marianne Wilkinson

should not be too highly estimated. This is not the case. The enemy, almost entirely Canadian soldiers fought — so far as he was able to fight at all — well and bravely ...” The Dieppe Raid, Operation Jubilee, has been subjected to extensive analysis and generated lakes of ink. What went wrong? What were the objectives that would justify such slaughter? Should it have been mounted, with a virtually identical plan to Operation “Rutter” which had been abandoned at the last minute, troops ready to embark, only a month before? Why had the Canadian High Command volunteered for Rutter and extended its support to “Jubilee”? What lessons of strategic value did the Allies learn from the raid? Some historians have recently suggested that the purpose of the raid was to secure information about German cryptography and/ or recent developments in German radar. However, the current consensus would seem to be well summarized by the words of the British Admiral Bertrand Ramsay closer to the event: “Dieppe was a tragedy, and the cause may be attributed to the fact it was planned by inexperienced enthusiasts.” The Kanata of the Royal CanaAmis de branch la Ferme dian Legion will hold a ceremony to honour expérimentale centrale those who fought at Dieppe on Friday, Aug. 18, at 7 p.m. at the Kanata Cenotaph. The ceremony will encompass and embrace, as well as the troops engaged on the ground, those sailors who manned the fleet and the airmen who flew over 3,000 sorties to protect the fleet and disrupt Luftwaffe attacks on the beaches.

SERVING KANATA NORTH

City Councillor, Kanata North NUSIANCE MOSQUITO PROGRAM – This year has been particularly good for mosquitoes and a bad one for us. I’ve received a number of concerns and discussed them with GDG Environment. Due to the unusual amount and frequency of rain this year we are seeing standing and stagnant water in areas which are usually dry and in which larvae have found suitable for hatching to adult mosquitoes. GDG have investigated every report and taken action in a number of ways including ongoing localized spraying and last week did another aerial treatment. GDG is out daily treating targeted areas as well as those identified by the public. As larvae has been found in backyards, tires, bird baths and other stagnant water around homes we’ve been asking residents to ensure that there is no standing water around their homes. Mosquitoes will even breed in a small puddle! If you encounter problems with mosquitoes call GDG Environment at 1-877-227-0552 or email info. mosquito@gdg.ca and they will contact you within 48 hours to discuss your concerns. I’ll be continuing to monitor the situation and appreciate your feedback. HYDRO CORRIDOR - The clearance of vegetation and trees and re-seeding with the pollinator seed mix on the Hydro Corridor from Old Carp Road to Terry Fox has been completed. Over the next few months I will be working with the Stewardship Council and the community on what can be done (within Hydro One rules) to make this area a place for the community to enjoy. Please send me your ideas and watch my column and website for further details. ROAD WORK ON MARCH ROAD – Repaving of March Road between Campeau Drive and Teron Road will begin Aug 6 and should take approximately 3 months to complete. Slowdowns are anticipated so please adjust your time and route plans accordingly. GATEWAY PLAZA ENTRANCE CLOSURE – The City of Ottawa did a study of all railway crossings in the City after the train/bus crash that killed six people. Changes have been made to many (including the gates being installed on March Road) and recommended changes for the private crossing that leads from Carling to the Gateway Plaza. Due to the short stretch of road, vehicles have been stopped right on the tracks and, although there is only two train crossings a week now, train traffic could increase. The City asked the mall owner to construct safety measures, but after two years of discussion without action, gave 60 days notice of a temporary closure for one year, after which if those safety measures were not in place, it would be closed permanently. Gateway Plaza decided to close it before that time, cutting off the 3,000 vehicles per day who use it and impacting local businesses. I will continue to urge the owners of the Plaza to undertake those measures within a year so people can access those businesses safely. THE CITY WANTS TO HEAR FROM YOU - Ottawa Public Health is looking for your feedback by August 14th on the marketing of unhealthy food and drinks to children and youth.

Zoning By-law Amendment for properties affected by the May 2017 flooding In accordance with the Planning Act, notice is hereby provided that a zoning by-law amendment proposal is being considered by the Planning, Infrastructure and Economic Development Department at the City of Ottawa. Public meetings The public meetings to consider this zoning proposal are as follows: • Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee, Thursday September 7, 10 a.m., The Chamber, Ben Franklin Place, 101 Centrepointe Drive • Planning Committee Tuesday September 12, 9:30 a.m., Champlain Room, Ottawa City Hall, 110 Laurier Avenue West Lands subject to the proposal The zoning amendment proposal affects lands in the vicinity of watercourses that were impacted by flooding, as described below. Additional locations may be added as identified through this zoning by-law amendment process. Purpose and effect of the proposed amendment The proposed amendment will relieve property owners of the need for minor variances if they are repairing or reconstructing buildings and structures damaged by the flooding that occurred in May 2017. The amendments will avoid the need for minor variances associated with rebuilding in a less flood-prone location on a lot, or as a result of small increases in building height to accommodate flood-proofing measures. Urban Area Locations (to be considered by Planning Committee): properties along Grandview Drive, Britannia Beach area, Trim Road (Petrie Island). Rural Area Locations (to be considered by Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee): properties along Loggers Way, Moorhead Drive, MacLarens Side Road, Northwoods Drive, Constance Bay area, Armitage Avenue, Leo Lane, Du Boise Lane, Armstrong Road and Morin Road. Further information To view the proposal or any information or materials related to the proposal, please contact the undersigned planner. Maps showing the affected lands are available by contacting the undersigned. Submission requirements To provide comments or for information about preserving your appeal rights, please contact the undersigned planner. Dated at the City of Ottawa this August 3, 2017.

No plans set for Beaverbrook, Hydro One ‘assessing the corridor’ Continued from page 1

“These are homes where the homeowner’s private property … is directly under the wires or within the hydro corridor easement, where hydro has access rights for line maintenance,” said Thomson. “This is far different from most cases in Ontario where the hydro corridors and their easements are built on city, hydro or other public lands, and private property only borders the corridor, as is the case in Morgan’s Grant.” The utility recently cleared its easement in Morgan’s Grant. It removed trees, hedges and shrubs, as well as invasive species like wild parsnip, and planted a pollinator seed mix to create a more meadow-like environment in the stretch of land that runs between homes. Residents in Beaverbrook are worried the same could happen, but right in their backyards. The community association issued a notice to residents,

saying Hydro One plans to “remove all incompatible vegetation” within the easements that run through Beaverbrook and Kanata Lakes, as it’s doing in Morgan’s Grant. “Hydro One, in response to a public meeting in June 2017, has refused to change plans to remove all vegetation and encroachments in the easement through the Morgan’s Grant community,” said the association. “They have already marked trees in the hydro corridor bordering Beaverbrook and Kanata Lakes and plan on acting during winter (e.g. Feb.) 2018.” Hydro One’s website states, “Incompatible vegetation includes any plant or tree species that, at maturity, could grow within the clearance area required by NERC (North American Electricity Reliability Corporation) standards. Hydro One removes incompatible vegetation from its rights-of-way … using a general target of six- to

eight-year cycles.” When asked why trees were marked in Beaverbrook and if it signals their potential removal, Hydro One spokesperson Tiziana Baccega Rosa said in an email that nothing has been determined. “At this point, we are assessing the corridor,” she said. “A work program has not yet been determined as this project is only in the very early planning stages.” The same response was provided for four other questions, including: • when work will begin, • if Hydro One plans to stop trimming, as it has in the past, and instead remove vegetation, • what happens when trees fall within the easement but are close to the edge of the 12-metre marker, • if vegetation removal, instead of trimming, is for budgetary reasons.

Vegetation management a $30M budget item Continued from page 12

Hydro Oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2017 budget includes approximately $30 million for â&#x20AC;&#x153;vegetation managementâ&#x20AC;? for the province, which is carried out along â&#x20AC;&#x153;more than 29,000 circuit kilometres of transmission rights-of-way,â&#x20AC;? said Baccega Rosa. (A circuit kilometre is one kilometre of electrical transmission circuitry â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which includes supporting structures â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that are required to provide a complete circuit.) Annually, the work includes 2,400 km of line clearing, 11,300 hectares of brush control and 2,650 km of condition patrol, she said. Hydro One shows planting zones on its website and the allowable heights for trees and shrubs, depending on their setbacks from power lines: â&#x20AC;˘ The low zone extends five metres from hydro lines. The maximum height for trees and shrubs is listed as three metres. â&#x20AC;˘ The medium zone ranges from five to eight metres from power lines. The maximum height is listed as eight metres. â&#x20AC;˘ The tall zone is anything over eight metres away. The

Kim and Ken Murray moved from Centretown to Beaverbrook looking for more greenspace in December 2016. They were shocked to find a large basswood tree on their property had been marked by Hydro One and are concerned it could be cut down. website lists a number of tree species and their mature heights, including white spruce, which grows to an average of 20 metres. In the past, Hydro One has worked with homeowners to ensure trees and other vegetation has been kept trimmed and within guidelines. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a

relationship thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worked well, said Peter Chapman, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lived on Pentland Crescent since 2000. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every few years they come around, they examine the trees and they trim them,â&#x20AC;? said Chapman, who has a large blue spruce in his backyard thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been marked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Hydro) usually

I am proud to be partnering with the National Capital Area Crime Stoppers as we launch a reminder initiative encouraging residents to report crime in our community. Crimes of opportunity like theft from vehicles, sheds and other property crime can be impacted by taking time to lock and secure your belongings. Crime Stoppers would encourage anyone with information on these or other crimes to come forward to police or anonymously submit tip information by calling 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS), or visit www.crimestoppers.ca to submit your tip online. Remember, Crime Stoppers does not subscribe to call display, record our calls or ask for your identity. Your tip may qualify for a cash reward of up to $2000.00.

Dog Waste - Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your business Please remember that when out walking your dog that waste is not supposed to be deposited in public waste receptacles found in parks or on sidewalks. This summer our park garbage cans have been overflowing with dog waste that is left there and not taken home with the pet owner. This creates not only an unsightly mess but a serious health hazard for humans and other peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pets as bags break and the waste is left behind. Pet owners are responsible to pick up after their own dogs; therefore, we encourage you to call 3-1-1 to report any violations to Bylaw services. As your Councillor, I have asked Bylaw services to monitor the problem areas more closely to protect your family and your pets. 1. Pick it up o Use a bag or a shovel to pick up the waste and take it home for disposal. 2. Disposal o The best method of disposal is to flush waste down the toilet. But donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t flush the bag. Toilets flow to the sewage treatment plant or septic tanks. Both systems are equipped to handle this kind of waste. Flushing poop also helps us divert waste from the landfill site.

On Street Parking By Law Survey Traffic Services are reviewing the general unsigned on-street parking regulations within city limits that permit parking for a maximum of 3 consecutive hours, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on weekends and holidays.

Karen McCrimmon Serving Constituents of Kanata-Carleton

Member of Parliament Kanata-Carleton Summer Update I hope everyone is having a fantastic summer! Thank you to everyone who has visited and sent invitations to my office to attend some of the many events going on across the riding. I always enjoy getting the opportunity to meet with residents of Kanata-Carleton. In the past week we have had encouraging news that Canada’s economy is growing. GDP is up by 4.6% from twelve months ago, the largest growth since 2000. Our Government will continue to make the necessary investments to keep the economy moving.

Chrysalis House I had the opportunity to visit the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre to meet with Chrysalis House’s newest student hire. She was hired as part of the Government’s Canada Summer Jobs program. This is a great program that allows students to gain valuable work experience and make a meaningful difference in their community. This year the Government invested sufficient funds to create over 400 student jobs in Kanata-Carleton.

Food Policy Online Survey Time is running out to have your say in Canada’s upcoming Food Policy. I am looking for individuals to share their priorities and get their perspective on what areas the government should focus on when creating the new food policy.

Tree removal would be ‘big loss’: homeowner Continued from page 13

Thomson said Hydro One is using an easement document from 1953 that says the corridor should be kept clear of trees. “One could say (hydro) followed a defacto policy for 50 years and now you’re going to pull this thing out of 1953 and suddenly enact it,” he said. “I’m going to talk to the management of hydro and get an understanding of exactly what they’re planning and (how) they’re justifying the change.” An approximately 12-metre blue spruce in Danielle and Rob McDonald’s backyard on Pentland Crescent, where they’ve lived for 17 years. It stands about 11 metres from the middle line and was one of the trees marked by Hydro One. “It’s a mature tree – I suspect it’s been here since the houses were originally built,” said Rob, who didn’t notice the paint until neighbours flagged it as an issue. “We didn’t have any indication that (hydro was) coming around looking at trees. That was our first inkling that something was up.” The Murray family moved from Centretown to the suburbs last December. The family of three wanted more green space and they

The lush landscaping and towering basswood were a major draw. They were shocked to see paint marks on the more than 50-year-old tree. “Removal of that tree, which I don’t think is close to the lines, would be a big loss for us,” said Ken Murray. “It’s going to hit a huge nerve in this neighbourhood because

this is one of the reasons you want to live here, is the mature trees.” The family, he said, was aware of the easement when they purchased the house and it wasn’t raised as an issue since Hydro One has been trimming and maintaining large trees within its corridor for years. “The definition is access to something but not ownership of it,” he said, adding Hydro One has full access to the backyard for work. “We never thought it would be an issue.” At a meeting for concerned residents on July 18, Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson said she was told Hydro One marked the trees to create an “inventory” in the Beaverbrook corridor. Wilkinson has been dealing with a similar situation in Morgan’s Grant where the majority of vegetation was being removed, the land tilled and a pollinator seed mixture planted.

Work has been completed on the easements running from Old Carp Road to Terry Fox Drive, and was continuing this week from Terry Fox towards the Marchwood transformer station, said Baccega Rosa. It includes work at the Richcraft Recreation Centre on Innovation Drive. “Every single tree and shrub is going to be taken out there,” said Wilkinson. “They’re even making the city move 40 or 50 trees planted in front of the Richcraft centre, approved by hydro at the time three or four years ago. “We’ve tried working with them, the residents have talked to them, the stewardship council has talked to them … They do not want to maintain it. They virtually want to have it all meadow and then only come back when the trees naturally grow up.” See MORGAN’S, page 15

Morgan’s Grant corridor clearing ‘devastating,’ says resident Baccega Rosa said Hydro One consulted with the councillor and the Ottawa Stewardship Council during the planning stages “to develop a plan to strike a balance on the corridor that would ensure Hydro One’s standards would be met, while also returning the corridor to a vibrant, usable community space.

nity,” said Baccega Rosa. “Our crews have been approached by many local residents that are excited to be able to use the corridor as a recreational space once again.” Tianna Gibbons, who lives on Brady Avenue in Morgan’s Grant, said Hydro One removed a large hedge, a crab apple tree and bulldozed the family’s shed. Although all were located on the easement, the

“While some smaller vegetation may not pose an immediate risk, bringing the corridor to a meadow-like state will help reduce the need to conduct further extensive work in the future,” she said. The clearing, said Baccega Rosa, also removed poison ivy, buckthorn and wild parsnip in the area. “These species were raised as concerns by the local commu-

family was given permission to put the shed there and plant the hedge years ago, she said. Before the clearing was scheduled to begin, the Gibbons family contacted the utility company to ask it to leave the apple tree and to give the family a few days to relocate the shed. “To have them turn around and take it all down was devastating,” she said. “We were

always aware that hydro had a right of way, however since we had their permission to plant the hedge and any other vegetation, we never expected them to do something of this scale.” Looking at the work in Morgan’s Grant, many Beaverbrook residents are frustrated they don’t know Hydro One’s plans for their community. “Maybe they haven’t explained their process well enough, and that would be welcomed if they would do that,” said Danielle. “But they just came on to my property, marked my trees, and now I’m finding out that they’re just coming back to do whatever they want – (with) no consultation here, and I think that’s key.” More than 30 people attended the meeting on July 18, including tech entrepreneur Terry Matthews. “This might be the single most serious event that’s happened in this area,” he said, adding clearing the area “could devalue our properties significantly.” Residents need to “work together to stop Hydro One

from stripping the vegetation in Kanata under the full corridor width; to interact with Hydro One immediately and ask for mutual respect in the work to be undertaken early next year to achieve safety and continued tree-trimming practices as previously undertaken over the last 50 years,” said Matthews. Baccega Rosa said the utility company will consult the com-

munity before work begins. “We are committed to engaging with the community,” she said. “Hydro One practises a fair and flexible approach to local communities when conducting work. Ahead of beginning the work, Hydro One will consult with local elected local officials, property owners, Ottawa Stewardship Council, and other

community representatives.” Residents are creating a working group to develop a plan to ensure Beaverbrook does not receive the same treatment as Morgan’s Grant. Another community meeting is planned for Aug. 29, and a large meeting will be scheduled for sometime in September, said Wilkinson. “We’re running up against something they’re doing in lots of places,” said Wilkinson. “We need to be ready for it.”

Health Canada approves supervised injection site BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Health Canada has granted an exemption to pave the way for a safe injection site at the Sandy Hill Commu-

nity Centre. The program, first backed by the city’s board of health in a vote on June 20 of last year, will be the first of its kind in the capital. “The Government of

across the country,” a statement from Health Canada released on July 26, said. “International and Canadian evidence has shown that, when properly established and maintained, supervised consumption sites save lives without increasing drug use or crime in the surrounding area. They also reduce transmission of communicable diseases, decrease infections, reduce emergency room use and hospital admissions related to injection drug use, and decrease overdose deaths.” Bill C-37, which streamlines the application process for so-called supervised consumption sites, was passed in May. “So many worked so hard for so long to bring supervised injection to Ottawa,” tweeted Robert Boyd following the decision. Boyd is the director of Oasis, the harm reduction program at the Sandy Hill centre. Boyd thanked Health Minister Jane Philpott for the decision.

“I am pleased to see the approval of a supervised consumption site in Ottawa, which will provide further support and tools to help address the overdose crisis,” Philpott wrote in a press release. Supervised injection sites are thought to decrease the

risk of communicable diseases like HIV and hepatitis C – which can be spread by sharing needles. When the board voted on whether or not to support the initiative, the city’s medical officer of health, Dr. Isra

Levy, said supervised injection sites are one part of a harm reduction strategy put forward by public health staff. The province has pledged the $1.4 million for the operation of the program. It was announced on April 27 during the budget process. Those funds were contingent on federal approval. Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury supported the site during the board of health meeting last year. He said he’d like to see Ottawa Public Health be a partner in setting up supervised injection sites so that more than one location can open at the same time. The Sandy Hill Community Centre already has a needle exchange program in place. “We are committed to working with all partners across the country to combat this crisis, and supervised consumption sites are an important part of our comprehensive response,” Philpott said.

Guy Laflamme, executive director of Ottawa 2017, said his initial estimate for the event was that it would draw about 300,000 people. “It’s not an overstatement to say that we wrote a page in Ottawa history over the weekend and the memories we’ve created will be cherished for decades to come. And that’s exactly what we wanted to accomplish for Ottawa 2017.” In a statement, Mayor Jim Watson said the event “captivated the imagination of hundreds of thousands of people of all ages and transformed our city into an enchanting and mesmerizing setting. Through the collaborative work of Ottawa 2017, La Machine, our hundreds of volunteers and first responders, we were able to create a fairy tale weekend that residents and visitors will never forget.” With some additional video screens, security and other extras, the event cost slightly more than the $3.5 million set aside for it, but that’s covered in the contingency fund, Laflamme said. “It’s probably the best investment we could have dreamed of,” he said. An additional 30 to 40 volunteers had to be added to handle the crowds. Laflamme said the performance was a career highlight, and it was special for the operators, creators and musi-

than $230 million in GDP impact and generate more than 3,000 jobs. A large portion of that will come from hosting La Machine, Laflamme said, calling it a main contributor and noting some restaurants on Sparks Street and in the ByWard Market ran out of food. In a letter to the city and committee after the big event written by Jasna Jennings, executive director of the By-

Ward Market Business Improvement Area, she said La Machine “lived up to and surpassed all expectations.” “The market was alive with more people than even Canada Day! The anticipation and exhilaration were palpable.” She said the goal of the event, to shirk the idea of Ottawa as a sleepy town, “came to a dramatic crescendo with La Machine.” See 750,000, page 21

She noted that visitors to the market were not just tourists, and the event also brought out locals in droves. “La Machine was the catalyst to play tourist in your own town and to remember how exciting and how much fun downtown is.” According to Ottawa police, there were no major incidents associated with the street theatre performance. Ottawa paramedics said the event went very well overall. They received about 100 calls for service in the area of the machines and about 25 people were taken to hospital. Laflamme said the only minor incident came when crowds following the machines met with the awaiting crowd in front of the Supreme Court on July 29. “Unfortunately a few people were squeezed and felt intimidated … Other than that everything went super impeccably well.” In a recent blog post, Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper said the event “will be a defining moment in this city’s ongoing transition.” Leiper said the city’s tourist attractions played a supporting role in the production, having been the backdrop for the walkabouts, selfies and countless videos posted online. “Could anyone even guess at the exposure those venues have already gotten from residents and tourists internationally, even before the professionals get into the editing studio,” he wrote. “The return on investment from that activity will be felt for years.” Leiper said in the post that one of the most pivotal decisions made for La Machine was to close downtown streets to welcome pedestrians and limit parking. “The elimination of parking and cars from the (Byward) Market and other key downtown streets was hugely successful.” He said the event was proof that fewer cars, not more, can draw more people and more economic activity. “We need bike lanes and parking, great transit, and safe pedestrian routes to capitalize on the opportunity we proved this weekend.”

Councillor wants to work with police on missing seniors BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Area councillors should be made aware when a senior citizen goes missing from their neighbourhoods, said Beacon Hill-Cyrville Coun. Tim Tierney. Tierney pressed police Chief Charles Bordeleau for answers on protocols during the police services board meeting on July 24. Tierney, whose Facebook pages have thousands of followers, along with his Twitter account, said councillors could be an invaluable tool in getting the word out. “It’s not the same obviously, but when we get a notification about a missing puppy or cat, it’s usually found in a day,” Tierney said of being notified. Tierney said in the case of an elderly man who went missing from Beacon Hill, people were being asked by police to check their sheds.

“People were asking me about it and I had to check the release,” Tierney said, adding if he’d been a first point of contact, he could have helped get the word out. The press release incorrectly identified the man as a resident of Orléans – something Tierney said wouldn’t have happened if he’d been given a heads-up. At the board meeting, Bordeleau said there are a series of protocols police follow when it comes to missing persons reports. He said councillors get notified of homicides and major events, but police could look at letting them know about missing persons. “We aren’t going to start sending all our communiqués to councillors for verification,” Bordeleau said. Board chair Eli El-Chantiry asked Bordeleau if it would be worthwhile to put out an Amber Alert – the emergency notification sys-

tem in place for abduction of children – when seniors go missing. In recent news, Nelliya Karbisheva, 82, from Stittsville and Jean Proulx, 80, from Beacon Hill, both had dementia and wandered off before being found dead. In the United States, there is a form of Amber Alert for seniors – it’s called Silver Alert and is currently in place in 36 states. The alert can be activated at the local or state level and is usually issued when local resources have been exhausted. Criteria for sounding the alarm vary, but it’s usually based on age – 65 or older for most states. Much like an Amber Alert, a description of the missing person is broadcast on radio and television and put on electronic road signs.

New Ottawa paramedics, police learn rules of the road BY ERIN MCCRACKEN erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Marc-Antoine Deschamps expertly clears two rows of pylons before guiding his ambulance out of a sharp right turn. Then it’s onto the next challenge, designed to test the driving skills of a cohort of new Ottawa paramedics on a closed course at the Ottawa International Airport. Touching a single pylon means adding to the time it takes to successfully complete the course. Deschamps weaves the large vehicle around another series of pylons before stepping on the gas and then riding the brake into another turn. Instructors with the City of Ottawa’s fleet training department, who provide driver training to Ottawa paramedics, firefighters, and public works and environmental services employees, are showing the city’s newest paramedics the ropes when it comes to navigating ambulances, parking

them at emergency scenes and navigating them in reverse and in tight construction zones, among other challenging scenarios. The overarching theme of the lesson they learn is “guaranteed arrival.” “You can do 140 (kilometres per hour) on the highway to get there, but if you end up into a car or a ditch there’s no point,” says Deschamps, spokesperson for the Ottawa Paramedic Service, which responds to between 130,000 and 140,000 calls each year. “Drive in such a way that it guarantees you’re going to get to the call,” adds Scott MacKinnon, section manager at the fleet training department and former driver trainer. The ride also has to be smooth to safeguard the paramedic and patient during transport. “When you have a patient in the back your partner might be standing doing CPR or reaching for something in the cabi-

net,” Deschamps says, adding that the paramedic tending to a patient can’t always wear a seatbelt depending on the medical care required. “We want to avoid injuries in the back,” he says. “Although we have an exemption from the (seatbelt) law, we don’t have an exemption from the laws of physics.” PREPARING POLICE OFFICERS

“The No. 1 cause of any on-duty police deaths in North America is motor vehicle collisions,” says Joe Berardelli, a longtime civilian driver trainer with the Ottawa Police Service. He takes new Ottawa police hires to the Greenbelt Research Farm in Nepean, where he puts them through a closed course that simulates tight spaces, situational awareness, speed control and straight-line braking, among other challenges.

Green light no guarantee way is clear: instructor Continued from page 25

The point is to get there safely, “otherwise you can’t help anybody,” says Berardelli, whose experience includes 10 years as a driver examiner with the Ontario Ministry of Transportation and three years as an OC Transpo operator. “And then if something happens we have to bring resources to you too, as well as this other call.” There’s the added challenge of navigating in dense traffic with lights and sirens on, which is becoming more and more of a trial as congestion worsens. As well, other motorists

don’t always react as they should when an emergency vehicle approaches, which can impact crucial response times as well as increase the risk. But there are steps other drivers can take to ensure they are part of the solution. “If the ambulance is behind you, pull over to the right, then slow down,” Deschamps says. But this isn’t always easy when streets are clogged during the morning and afternoon commute. During the theory part of the paramedic driver training, instructors help their students develop strategies to deal with traffic at congested intersec-

tions. Though they learn to plan ahead, anticipating the actions of other drivers is not always possible. “Some people get very nervous. Sometimes they just stay there,” says Deschamps, who has also witnessed drivers dangerously cut across multiple lanes of Highway 417 from the left to the right to get out of the way. Motorists have also been known to tailgate emergency vehicles, which can be a danger to other emergency vehicles heading to the same scene, MacKinnon says. “You never know how fast

we’re going to be braking or what we’re going to do,” Deschamps adds. As well, motorists should pay attention to their mirrors, scanning them every four to seven seconds. “You’re probably going to see lights and sirens before you’re going to hear them, depending on if you’re in the downtown core,” says Andrew Penney, a driver trainer and longtime volunteer firefighter based at the Fitzroy Harbour station. When faced with a blockaded intersection, motorists at the front of the line should not pull ahead into the crossroads, which can cause a collision. Emergency responders unable to get through sometimes have no choice but to turn off their lights and sirens and wait for the light to turn green before advancing with the flow of traffic. “You can’t put the public at risk. You can’t just get behind them and get on with the air horn and force their vehicle out into oncoming traffic,” Penney says. “So you may have to sit there with your siren off because you don’t want to panic people too much. You don’t know what somebody’s reaction is going to be.” Berardelli instructs the new officers to treat a green light like a four-way stop and look in every direction in case another motorist is cutting the light. “Then you would avoid half the collisions,” he says. “The way the Highway Traf-

Pull over to the right,” says Berardelli, who instructs the new police hires before and after their studies at the Ontario Police College. “Now you have three, four

lanes in one direction. Now you pull over to the nearest curb.” This creates a zipper effect and allows emergency vehicles to head up the middle, says Deschamps. See YOU, page 27

‘You better know how to drive it’ Continued from page 26

Following the cues of other motorists will help ensure drivers head in the same direction, creating the necessary space. “So if the car in front of you moves to the right, maybe you should be going to the right as well,” says Penney. “Ideally, (the emergency vehicle is) going to try to go down a middle lane with the least amount of traffic, sort of like parting the sea.” Leaving enough room between your vehicle and the one in front can make all the difference. “If you come up to a stop light and you’re four inches off the bumper ahead of you, then you’re not going to be able to move out of the way,” Penney says. STRATEGIC DRIVING

“We talk about strategic driving to ensure they understand that there’s different types of drivers out there and we have to contend with them all. We don’t have a choice,” says Kathy Gordon, the city’s longtime lead paramedic driver trainer.

“Every scenario is different, every intersection is slightly different, but now you have the tools and you’re going to build on that,” she says while watching her students navigate their ambulance through the challenges of the course, each mimicking a real-world scenario. “Beautiful. Nice job. Nice and smooth with her steering. She had her head up checking the mirrors appropriately,” Gordon says. Lessons range from time and space management, multitasking and adjusting speed to changing road conditions, navigating tight turns and planning ahead, among other skills. “The one thing that you’re going to touch daily is the truck, so you better know how to drive it,” Gordon says. Critical thinking is essential when driving a vehicle that weighs up to 10,999 kilograms, as is knowing how to manoeuvre at high or low speeds and also knowing what is reasonable. “Driving is about three things,” Berardelli says. “Skill, knowledge and judgment.” “You’ve got to know what

things can go wrong.” Is it reasonable to drive a full 50 km/h in a 50 zone in downtown Ottawa? “It’s not,” he says. “So it’s not about what speed you’re doing, it’s what speed are you doing for the environment you’re in?” Knowing how to manage the demands of the job in a quickly evolving emergency improves with experience. “It’s important to keep your stress levels down to manage the task at hand, which is driving, otherwise it’s easy to lose control and that leads to accidents,” says Julie Bourget, one of Ottawa’s newest paramedics. Each pair of new paramedics will also be accompanied on the road by a mentor for the first four to six weeks on the job. New Ottawa police officers spend 500 hours with a veteran officer, who serves as a coach. “As we are dispatched on these calls, we have to think about how we’re going to get there,” Bourget says. “You have to make sure that you’re safe — for you and your team — and especially for everybody else who’s out on the roads as well.”

Mission accomplished for Australian teacher Worldwide trip comes with interesting request during stop in Kanata BY JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Jack MacLaren Member of Provincial Parliament Carleton-Mississippi Mills

Ontario Doesn’t Need Another Control Board Last week the Premiers from every province gathered to discuss the impending federal legalization of marijuana. Next July, in Ontario marijuana will be a legalized substance to be bought and sold. When the time comes, we will need to have a solid regulatory framework ready to kick in and I wanted to briefly share my thoughts on what that should look like. I believe that we need a free and fair market system to regulate the production, distribution, and licensed sale of cannabis within the province of Ontario. I believe that the free market is the best mechanism to manage this system and we can leave it up to private industry to determine the success or failure of the industry. Creating a new version of the LCBO is not the solution, government monopolies or government sanctioned monopolies have proven ineffective in the past and this is not going to change. An important part of this new system will be keeping marijuana out of the hands of minors and taking power away from organized crime. That is why we need to make sure that any plan that is passed is signed off by the OPP as well as regional police forces. We need to get this right the first time; we cannot afford to saddle ourselves with a system that doesn’t work, we already know what that looks like and it isn’t pretty.

An Australian teacher on a North American tour with his family had an interesting request when he stopped to visit family in Kanata; could his cousin help him get his photograph in a newspaper? Rob Francis, who teaches elementary school students in South Australia, and his family arrived in Los Angeles in April and picked up an RV. The family of four — which includes his wife Sonya Francis and their children Jack, 14, and Lily, 10 — has spent months travelling, with stops in San Diego, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Colorado, Wyoming, Chicago, Niagara Falls, Ottawa, New York and Hawaii, among many others. Rob was given 28 tasks to complete by his students before he left and one of those was to get his photo published in print. “The newspaper one is one I have no chance at all,” he said during a telephone call from his cousin David Stirling’s house in Kanata, shortly before the family left for Washington. Rob wanted his students to be involved in the family trip. Before he left, he gave them an hour to research North America and create a task for him to accomplish.

Rob Francis/Submitted

The Francis family, from left, Rob, Lily, 10, Jack, 14, and Sonya, spent months travelling around North America in an RV. Rob, an elementary school teacher, was given 28 tasks to complete by his students before he left and one of those was to get his photo published in print. He had checked off 20 of the 27 challenges before departing Ottawa, including having his photo taken in a prison cell in Alcatraz (a former federal penitentiary in San Francisco Bay, Calif.), ziplining in Las Vegas and sunbathing at the Grand Canyon. But the newspaper piece eluded him. “The challenge of appearing in a newspaper came from a student named Lana Shepherd and was always going to be the most difficult challenge on the list,” said Rob, over email after the family had left Ottawa. “It is difficult because we don’t know many people in America or Canada that work for a paper.” He asked his cousin and his

wife Christine if they could help, and Christine sent a request to the Kourier-Standard. “I figured since he was here with us that we would call the local paper,” Christine said. The story was unusual enough to pursue. Rob and his students stayed in contact as each task was ticked off the list. “At school they have a giant pin-up board with challenge photos from our trip,” he said. “It has also been nice to hear what the students have been up to in my absence.” Las Vegas was top on the list of favourite places visited, thanks to the abundance of family activities and non-stop action, as was

Ottawa for the chance to spend time with family and a variety of experiences to try. “We haven’t been to Ottawa before, but loved spending time in your city,” said Rob. “We have visited downtown Ottawa, toured the mint and had our first Beavertail; went up to North Bay to stay in a lake house where we went cliff diving; been ice skating; went through an escape room and I even made my softball debut filling in for my cousin’s mixed team.” All in all, the trip and the challenges have been an experience. “We just wanted to travel to America and Canada as a family,” said Rob. “It has been a great activity.”

August 7, 1937 – July 26, 2017 (Retired owner of Jack Campbell Fuels) Peacefully at the Ottawa Hospital – General Campus on Wednesday, July 26th, 2017 at the age of 79 years. Son of the late Clifford and Emma (nee Lesway) Campbell. Beloved husband of Chéron (nee Jefferies) for nearly 55 years. Dear Dad of Peg Fulton (Gary) and Russ (Cheryl). Much loved Grandpa of Terri (Joe), Rob (Kelsey), Kristen and Jeff (Taylor). He adored his greatgrandchildren Jackson and Charley. Fondly remembered by his pets Lucy and Whiskey. Jack is the dear brother of Doris Bruce (late Bert) and Marion Trudeau (late Charlie). Brother-in-law of Dave and Sandra Jefferies, Sally and Brian Labrie, and Bruce and Cheryl Jefferies. Survived by several nieces and nephews. Predeceased by his parents-in-law Stan and Reta Jefferies. Jack was a proud lifelong resident of Fitzroy Harbour, just shy of 80 years. He helped his dad farm and run Campbell’s Dairy in his younger days, then went on to the fuel oil business and had a Texaco service station in Arnprior. He was a square dance caller for Mac Beattie and his Melodiers and the Ron McMunn band. He even had the honour of appearing on stage with Hank Snow. Jack grew up playing and loving sports. He became a hockey coach in his early years. He went on to coach his son Russ and the “gang of lads” in competitive softball. Later in his retirement years he helped Chéron babysit the grandkids. Friends were invited to join the family for a graveside service held at St. George’s Anglican Cemetery, Fitzroy Harbour on Sunday afternoon, July 30th at 2 o’clock.

VINES Liddon Ernest

Passed away peacefully at the Montfort Hospital on Wednesday July 26, 2017 at the age of 85. Beloved husband of Phyllis for over 60 years. Loving and devoted father of Debbie (Eric), Steven (Wendy), Cindy (Steve) and Laurie (John). Very proud grandfather of Jennah, Michael, Paige, Sabrina, Brienna, Kesia, Cody, Jess, Nicole and Leah. Lid will be sadly missed by his sister Ronette. Predeceased by his brother Martin, and sisters Heather and Pat. Born in England, Lid left at the age of 16 after the second world war ended, and spent the next four years working on freighter ships. This gave him the opportunity to see nearly every major port in the world. He eventually made his way to Ontario and employment at Ottawa Dairy farm. Here he realized his love of farming and also his love for Phyllis. Because of Lids passion for farming he spent most of his working life, along with a career in trucking, doing just that. Retirement gave Lid the time to not only continue to raise some chickens and turkeys, but to raise the biggest chickens and turkeys. His flower and vegetable gardens were an impressive sight to everyone. A special thank you goes out to the nursing staff at Carleton Place Memorial and the Montfort Hospitals for such compassionate care. The family held a private celebration of Lids life on Saturday July 29, 2017. For those who would like to make a donation in memory of Lid, a contribution to the Carleton Place Hospital Foundation would be appreciated. www.barkerfh.com

DR. SHARPE Louis Ramon Born 91 years ago on the island nation of Trinidad & Tobago, Louis Sharpe aspired to a different life than that of government service, which he initially enjoyed. He set off for Canada, and McGill University to complete a Bachelor of Arts and ultimately a Doctorate of Dental Surgery, completed in 1963. From there he moved south, practising at New York Polyclinic, extending his studies to a Dental Fellowship in Anaesthesiology at Mount Sinai Hospital, and teaching briefly at Columbia University. He established his own dental practice in New York where, in 1964, he met his future wife, Gisela (nee Molk). They spent many happy years in the city, and had a son, Robert. In 1977 Louis moved his family to Almonte, Ontario where he practiced dentistry until his death. Louis had an immediate charm and a mischievous wit. His quirky sense of humour and easy laughter gave him a talent for putting others at ease and for making them feel welcome and important. Rarely would he be seen in public without suit and tie. He was passionate about fishing, classic British mystery novels, dentistry, and about his family. Louis passed quickly and peacefully at the Ottawa Heart Institute on July 27, 2017. The family wish to extend thanks to the compassionate physicians, nurses and all the kind staff who cared so well for him. His family will sorely miss him. A funeral will be held at Holy Name of Mary Parish in Almonte on Thursday, August 3, 2017 at 11am. Condolences may be made by visiting www.crgamble.com Funeral Arrangements Are Entrusted Into The Care Of C. R. GAMBLE FUNERAL HOME & CHAPEL INC. 127 Church St., Almonte, ON 613-256-3313

Father’s idea had Mary running for cover

other said Father was playing with fire, and as it turned out, he was. It had to do with the constant annoyance of mosquitoes, which invaded us every summer. There was nothing we liked better at the end of a day, than to escape the heat of the house and move our kitchen chairs out in the backyard, and sit a spell as the night closed in around us. Mother would play her mouth organ, and my sister Audrey would sing, and off in the distance we might hear the frogs. My brother Everett, who could whistle better than anyone in Northcote, when coached would join Mother and Audrey. If you weren’t sitting on a kitchen chair, you were on a blanket on the ground, and since I was scared in the dark, I would sit as close to Mother as possible. We wouldn’t be out there more than a few minutes when one after the other of us would be swatting our arms and bare legs, hoping to connect with the horde of mosquitoes laying in wait for us. Soon Mother would say, “Enough of this, those blessed mosquitoes are eating us alive.” Then one night Father said he had

The excuses continue to pile up in Ottawa, but so are the cars as drivers continue to shirk the rules of the road. “I’ve got to go home and take the kid to hockey. I’ve got to get groceries. I worked an extra hour. Blah. Blah. Blah. There’s construction,” said Ottawa police Const. Phil Kane. “I hear it all. “I say that I give out free driving lessons, but no, it comes with a cost.” Just five seconds into pulling out his laser speed-measuring device and aiming into the oncoming traffic, he motioned for a driver to pull over near TD Place in the Glebe after being clocked at 79 km/h in the 40 zone on Bank Street. Kane levied a $289 fine, plus demerit points, against the driver who had been heading to a job interview. “She was doing almost double the speed limit,” said Kane,

Speeds reach 93 km/h in 40 zone Continued from page 38

“It’s still your responsibility. I don’t get them on the hill. I get them on the flats.” It’s just one of many problem areas across the city that Kane and his traffic services partner Const. Jon Hall monitor for any number of infractions, including the top four killers on Ontario roads: speeding, distracted and im-

paired driving and not wearing a seatbelt. “A. It’s reaction time, that’s a big thing. And B. Speed kills. A couple times I’ve been clipped by cars — standing on the curb,” Kane said. “They’re going by clipping me at 60. I have a little bit of a paint mark right here (on his gun holster), so I’ll show them.” Speeding offers a valuable lesson in physics.

A pedestrian hit by a vehicle travelling 30 km/h has a 90-percent survival rate, while at 45 km/h, the pedestrian’s chances of survival are just 50 per cent. Those inside the car are also not immune to the laws of physics. Drivers and passengers travelling 80 km/h are 20 times more likely to die than those in a vehicle travelling 30 km/h.

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

Distracted driving comes with $490 fine Continued from page 39

“All it is is just common sense,” said Kane, who joined the Ottawa Police Service in 2009 and has worked in traffic enforcement the past two years. The top speed he clocked in the Glebe was 93 km/h in the 40 zone, netting the driver a stunt-driving charge and the loss of his vehicle and driver’s licence for seven days. “Some of these drivers have been stopped multiple times,” Kane said, adding that one driver was stopped for speeding four times in two years at Limebank and Leitrim roads. Another driver was caught on Hunt Club Road going 136 km/h in that 80 zone, and his mom’s car was impounded. Heron Road and Riverside Drive is another fast-paced stretch. Rural roads are also bad for more severe crashes with very high speeds playing a factor. “People just don’t think,” said Kane. ‘IT’S GETTING WORSE’

One of the more disturbing trends is distracted driving, including cellphone use, which carries a $490 fine and three demerit points. “About 85 to 90 per cent of the cars I pull over, their phone is on their lap, open and screen lit, music playing, Facebook, Google maps, whatever,” Kane said. But unless he’s witnessed them on the phone, he can’t lay a charge. He and Hall spotted a distracted driver at Woodroffe Avenue and Baseline Road and were about to pull him over when emergency sirens announced the approach of another police cruiser. It pulled up behind the cellphone-using driver, who didn’t move out of the way. “The police officer had to drive onto the curb, onto the sidewalk,” said Kane, who watched as the driver glanced up from his phone and saw the officer navigate through the intersection. He then went back to his phone without moving his vehicle. “I step out in my yellows. I’m waving at the guy. I walk up to the door and knock on the window,” said Kane. “People are so inattentive. They have no idea what’s going on.” It’s also an offence for a motorist to use a cellphone while stopped at a traffic light or sitting in traffic. Studies show it can take up to 30 seconds for a driver to re-engage with their surroundings after using their phone. Kane has pulled over young drivers, still on their phone and asked them why, only to be told they were updating their Facebook page to say they’d been pulled over by police. In one case he stopped a young driver twice for distracted driving within minutes, resulting in almost $1,000 in fines and six demerit points. “That’s the mentality. It’s getting worse,” he said. “Lots of times people are speeding and they’re on their phone. You could see people fly down the Queensway at 140 and we can pull up beside them and they’re on their phone.” Last year, Ottawa police gave out 4,179 tickets for cellphone-related distracted driving. So far this year, 1,798 tickets have been issued for that offence. Kane and his partner try to get their message out on Twitter under their handles @carbinekane and @TheBeardedCop. The City of Ottawa’s traffic team also has strategies to address problem areas, including changing the timing of some traffic lights to give pedestrians

the right of way first for five to seven seconds before drivers get their green light. “Now the drivers are seeing pedestrians in the walkway,” Kane said. But what will it take for drivers to change their habits before they learn a lesson the hard way? “I’ll leave the section in five years. Someone else will come take my place and it’ll be the same thing,” said Kane. “Traffic has always been a problem. It’ll always be a problem, unless we have self-driving cars. But

they sometimes crash too. this year: 307 Education is key, yet many drivers are still not • Red light tickets issued in 2016: 1,642 getting the message. • Red light tickets issued so far this year: 1,013 “Is it somebody losing someone close?” Kane • Cellphone-related tickets issued in 2016: 4,179 said. • Cellphone-related tickets issued so far this year: 1,798 • Speeding tickets issued in 2016: 13,181 BY THE NUMBERS • Speeding tickets issued so far this year: 7,385 • Data from impaired driving stops, which is a • Seat belt tickets issued by Ottawa police under criminal code charge and not an offence under the the Highway Traffic Act in 2016: 823 • Seat belt tickets issued by Ottawa police so far Highway Traffic Act, was not readily available.

If you have a general legal question that you would like to have addressed send it via email to Legalmatters@compellingcounsel.com

Q: My spouse and I have decided to separate. How do we decide who keeps what?

In Ontario, the presumption is that married parties make equal contributions towards the accumulation of wealth during the marriage. If and when spouses decide to separate, the expectation is that each party’s net family property will be equalized. Only in very limited circumstances will an unequal division of matrimonial property be considered.

property than the other, an equalization payment will be owing to offset the difference. Each spouse will retain the assets and liabilities held in their name unless they are required to sell property or transfer it to their spouse to satisfy their equalization obligations.

Determining the value of your property, whether you are entitled to any deductions or exclusions and whether there is an equalization payment owing by one spouse to the other can be a complicated process. It is important to understand your rights and obligations when it comes to dividing matrimonial property upon a separation. A lawyer can assist you in navigating the various equalization issues that can arise and prepare a written agreement to ensure each Upon each spouse’s net family property being party’s rights and obligations are clear and set out in determined, if one spouse has a higher net family a manner which can be enforced, if necessary. Each spouse’s net family property is the value of all property held by that spouse at the date of separation after consideration is given to the liabilities of that spouse that were outstanding at the date of separation. Each party may also have the ability to deduct property held at the time of marriage or to exclude specific types of property acquired during the marriage.
