ODE TO THE HAGGIS

City unveils draft budget calling for 2.45 per cent tax hike.

Tom Baker gives the Ode to the Haggis at the Kanata Legion during the Burns Night Celebration on Saturday, Jan. 22. The evening featured Highland dancing from students at Sherry’s School of Highland Dance, bagpiping, traditional Scottish food and a Scotch toast. Robbie Burns was a famous Scottish Poet.

Five parents have banded together to hunt for an entrepreneur willing to open a day care in Glen Cairn. The group is part of the 40 families who learned last week the Kanata Child Care Centre will close on June 30 after 22 years of operation. “I put the idea out there to find a potential buyer to start a daycare,” said Stephanie Woodward, whose three-year-old daughter attends the Kanata Child Care Centre. “I guess it will be a long shot, but we want to try.” The group is also considering opening their own day care centre and is planning to hold fundraisers to support the venture. The Kanata Child Care Centre, which offers care for children ages one to five, is a building attached to a seniors’ home that are both owned by Revera Inc. “We’ve made this difficult decision to close the daycare to reallocate space to our focus on serving seniors,” said Sandra Vlaar Ingram, a spokesperson for Revera. The company held an information meeting last week for the 40 affected families to give them time to find new child care. “A lot of parents are in tears,” said Woodward. “People are feeling sick about it.” Some of the parents waited four years to land a spot at the Glen Cairn daycare, which offers subsidized child care for more than half its client families. The waiting list for child care in Kanata south is long – 1,797 children are currently waiting for a spot, with 310 families seeking subsidized child care, according to the City of Ottawa.

‘They just adore seeing the kids come and go’: Day care parents DAY CARE, from 1 The children and their parents aren’t the only ones hurt by shutting down the daycare, said Woodward. Some of the seniors at the Kanata Retirement Residence were regular visitors at the daycare, she said. “The seniors, they love the kids,” she said. “They had relationships with some of them – they had birthday cards, so I think it’s going to affect them as well. “Grandmas go over to the daycare for circle time,” said Woodward. “They told me they just adore seeing the kids come and go.” The visits are part of the daily routine of many seniors, said Wendy Diffey, whose three-year-old son attends the daycare. “The kids are their life – they have nothing else,” said Diffey. “I don’t think (Revera) took that into consideration, the grammas and grandpas.” Diffey said she waited five months to land a spot at the centre. “We’ve been there a long time,” she said. “It’s really affecting us because there’s no child care centres in Glen Cairn – it’s all home daycares.” Most of the parents would rather send their children to a community day-care centre rather than a home, she said. SUBSIDIZED DAY CARES Day-care centres in Kanata south (Bridlewood, Glen Cairn and Katimavik) that offer full-day subsidized child care are: • Children’s Village at Bridlewood,

four to 10 years. • Emerald Meadows school age program, St. Anne Catholic School, Bridlewood, six to nine years. • Kanata Montessori School, Bridlewood, 18 months to 12 years. • Katimavik kindergarten and school age program, Holy Trinity Catholic High School, four to 10 years. • Stonehaven school age program, St. James Catholic School, Bridlewood, four to 10 years. • Community Child Care of Ottawa, agency serving Kanata matches provider with client. • Wee Watch enriched home child care, agency serving Kanata. Kanata Montessori is the only subsidized child care in Kanata South that accepts children younger than two years old. The parents who have subsidized child care at the Kanata Child Care Centre will be able to carry their funding to any licensed facility with space available in Ottawa. Andrea Gomes, whose three-year-old daughter attends the Glen Cairn daycare, said that so far she’s only found a few summer programs run by the City of Ottawa and a few home daycare spots – most of them unlicensed. “Right now I’m just calling around to different places, just hoping to get a spot,” she said. “I’m looking for anything.” Gomes said she pays $40 a day – with half the money subsidized by the city – or $800 a month for child care. When the Kanata Child Care Centre

Allan Hubley said he’s asked city staff if there’s anything that can be done to help the parents find

new child care. “We’ve got to find out what can be done to help out,” he said. Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson said parents who are able to pay the full amount for child care don’t have to wait long to find a spot at a day care in Kanata. “If you’re on a subsidy it’s forever.”

Sacred fire burns for Beaver Pond JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Algonquin warrior Daniel Bernard “Amickwabe” said the sacred fire that has been burning at the Beaver Pond since Jan. 19 will be a reminder of the voice of the people. “That will be a permanent record of the united voice of the Algonquin community of the massacre of the sacred forest,” said Bernard, who handed over fire-keeping duties to the Kanata community on Jan. 23. A large number of residents have been visiting the site daily, bringing wood to burn, food, coffee, hot chocolate and their company. Sandra Benedetti and her son Kurtis were at the Walden Drive entrance to the pond for a number of hours on the first day. Sandra, who’s lived near the pond for 23 years, said the forest is a healing place. She knows a number of people who have used it to help them through difficult times. She said she’s used the forest to help with her anxiety. “It makes sense there’s something here, something special,” said Sandra. “That’s why they come here, they’re feeling the healing,” said Ron “Big Bear” Goddard, a medicine man with the Four Winds InterTribal Medicine Council. NEW FIRE-KEEPER A ceremony was held at the Walden Drive

entrance to the pond Sunday afternoon where Goddard transferred the fire-keeping duties to resident Christopher Busby and members of the community. “(The Algonquins) asked me to take it over on their behalf,” said Busby. “I just said yes immediately.” The fire will be attended 24 hours a day. “We’ve created a roster of people,” he said. “We’ve got the whole schedule pretty much filled up around the clock; there has to be someone there all the time.” The sacred fire was built by Bernard, whose clan name “Amickwabe” means “people of the beaver.” “It’s no coincidence,” said Bernard about the meaning of his name and the fact he felt a pull toward the Beaver Pond, which is in peril of being clear-cut. “It wasn’t planned that I’d be here,” said Bernard, who is not a member of the Algonquins of Ontario. “For me, it’s not something I do for myself, I had to do it. It’s spontaneous.” KNL Development Inc. announced Wednesday it will delay tree-cutting until Jan. 31 in order to honour a request by the Algonquins of Ontario (AOO). The group wants to complete a review of archaeological documents. ‘THE WAY WE MOURN’ “This is not a political move, it’s a spiritual move,” Bernard explained. “It’s done to bring people here.” He added the province has a duty to consult with all Aborigi-

They have to consult with us.” That one group can’t speak for all Aboriginals, added Goddard. But that’s not the main reason for their presence. “This is the way we mourn,” said Goddard about the sacred fire. “This is the way we mourn for the forest, the animals, the people. Mourn the loss of the Manitou’s.” Burning the sacred fire is a personal initiative for Bernard, who travelled to Kanata from Scarborough, in response to a declaration by Algonquin elder William Commanda, who called the site sacred. “The forest behind me is sacred. It belongs to no one but itself,” said Bernard. “God is in there. This forest needs to be protected.”

KNL Development Inc., which owns the lands north of the Beaver Pond, agreed to delay cutting in the area until Jan. 31. The company announced the postponement on Jan. 19, the same day Algonquin warrior Daniel Bernard “Amickwabe” set up a sacred fire at the Beaver Pond. “KNL has agreed to defer cutting trees on lands north of the Beaver Pond until after Jan. 31st,” said Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson. KNL is honouring a request from the Algonquins of Ontario (AOO) to delay clear-cutting until the group can evaluate the existing archaeological assessment, she said. The city urged KNL to consider delaying construction after the developer was given the green light to begin on Jan. 17, when the city sent a letter to KNL saying it had met all necessary preconditions for tree removal for Phase 9 of the development. KNL has not said when it would begin cutting, said Wilkinson. CONSULT WITH ALL

Other Algonquin groups have come forward to say they should be consulted in the matter as well. “The AOO, they’re an arm of the government, they don’t represent everyone” said Chief Mireille Lapointe of the Ardoch Algonquin First Nation. “The AOO can’t bill itself as the only one. You can’t leave it up to one nation.” Nine Algonquin groups and representatives have written to the city in support of protecting the lands north of the Beaver Pond. “For 20 years community leaders outside the claims process have consistently reminded the province and the federal government that there is a duty to consult with all Algonquin people. The AOO has shown through past actions that they cannot be trusted to represent the interests of all Algonquin people with respect to decisions about development and resource extractions,” wrote Chief Paula Sherman of the Kapishkawandemin Family Head’s Council. “Algonquin Law is still in effect in our homeland and we remind both the Province of Ontario and Canada that you have a fiduciary responsibility to consult with us as Algonquin communities about any development that has been proposed to happen. Consultation with the AOO is not consultation with our communities.”

Ottawa won’t be re-opening the debate over whether to expand its urban boundary any time soon, if they city’s planning committee has anything to say over it. That committee chose not to revisit the issue during its meeting on Jan. 25. Innes Ward Coun. Rainer Bloess had asked the committee to receive information and reconsider the last council’s decision to scale back an expansion of the urban boundary. That boundary places restrictions on development. In 2009, city staff recommended expanding the limit by 851 hectares to allow for 20 years of population growth, but in a 12-11 vote, the previous city council decided to limit the expansion to only 230 hectares (which would allow for 15 years of growth). Mayor Jim Watson said he is happy

the committee supported council’s original decision. Watson said the potential $400,000 cost hasn’t changed his position or council’s position that they are “on the right track.” Watson said he feels the city’s position is strong and it has a good chance of winning at the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB). Developers that own land in the area that wasn’t included in the urban boundary expansion have appealed the decision to the OMB because it restricts their ability to build on their land. “This is an important issue for us,” Watson said. “It determines at the end of the day who is going to make decisions with regards to growth and planning, and I believe it should be elected officials.” While Bloess said he predicted the city would have less opposition from developers if it decided to expand the

shouldn’t expand its urban boundary more than necessary. Former Knoxdale-Merivale councillor Gord Hunter, who retired in December, also spoke at the committee meeting. Hunter, who chaired the planning and environment committee for 18 years, said councillors now have a chance to reverse the last council’s incorrect decision to limit the expansion. “It was really disheartening to see this small amount of expansion suggested by the staff was cut back for what I see as crass political reasons,” Hunter said. He said the city will need to expand its urban boundary to at least 851 hectares in the future, and the city should be looking farther into the future than just the next 15 years. The planning committee’s recommendation to let the last council’s decision stand was set to go to full council for final approval on Wednesday (results were not available at press time).

urban boundary by at 851 hectares, the city’s outside lawyer on the manner, Bruce Engell, said reversing the last council’s decision would make the city look fickle. Engell said he couldn’t predict whether the number of applicants who are fighting the case to the Ontario Municipal Board would have dropped if the city decided to expand the urban boundary. “Would it make it (OMB hearings) go away..? I can’t offer you any certainty that they would,” Engell said. Making matters even more complicated, the meeting room was filled with lawyers and representatives from the development groups that are taking the city to the OMB. There were also a number of residents present. Some, such as Amy Kempster, said the city needs to have consistent policies: if Ottawa has a policy to encourage intensification in the official plan, Kempster argued, the city

Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty called on the business community to do their part to continue bolstering the economy. Speaking at an Ottawa Chamber of Commerce lunch on Friday, Jan. 21, McGuinty encouraged business owners to “take advantage of the incentives we have given you” such as cuts to the corporate income tax rate. Ontario families’ “hope and security” rely on a successful economy, McGuinty said. He said businesses have a responsibility to invest in growth. “Businesses need to step up with research and development of its own, and investment in training,” he said. McGuinty used the electionstyle speech to highlight his government’s achievements – and to deliver a warning. With a provincial election on Oct. 6 drawing closer, the premier said voters should be wary of political parties that vow to cut the harmonized sales tax his government brought into effect. A two per cent cut to the HST would slash the province’s budget by $6 billion. “It looks seductive, but it isn’t a good idea,” the premier said. “You can’t take $6 billion out of the system and not compromise two important pillars of our productivity, our competitiveness in the global economy: health care and education,” McGuinty said. It would also be “wildly irresponsible” to change the province’s much bemoaned hydro rate system, McGuinty said.

EDITORIAL

Kanata Kourier-Standard - JANUARY 27, 2011

Commuters must grin and bus it Mayor Jim Watson has obviously learned a few tricks about passing city budgets after watching the struggles of his predecessor, Larry O’Brien. First, don’t make promises you can’t keep – “zero means zero” ultimately was the political epitath to O’Brien’s battles at the budget table. Second, avoid conflict. Case in point: the suggested transit cuts for the 2011 draft budget. The draft budget suggests the city will seek $22 million in cuts this year and next, not to mention a 2.5 per cent hike in bus fares. Which routes are going to be cut? We don’t know. How many routes will be cut? We don’t know. The city will hash out the messy details in March – after the budget has been passed. It’s a great way to smooth the way for the approval of the budget – no one can raise a stink during public consultation, because no one has any idea what the cuts are. These tactics are shifty at best. But smart as well. It allows the public to focus on the bells and whistles included in the budget, such as $20 mil-

lion in new spending, money offset by the $25 million for social services uploaded by the provincial government. There’s $10 million for housing and poverty reduction; $2 million for economic development; half a million for environmental initiatives. The carrot of new spending is in sight while the stick is locked safely away until after the budget passes. In all fairness, Watson is tackling a difficult problem – the ballooning costs of transit in the City of Ottawa. Cuts to public transit have never been a popular subject come budget time. Commuters will have to accept the reality that it looks like the city is finally going to clamp down on transit costs. That will mean higher bus fares, reduced service and probably a lot more crowded buses – a reality that will continue until the city welcomes light rail improvements. Eventually, some commuters – those who can afford it – will consider the option of travelling to work by car. Those who can’t will just have to grin and bus it.

Lessons for grown-ups from Story Time After an absence of about, oh, 40 years, I checked in at the library for Story Time the other day. It was pretty good. All the kids thought so. There was a lot about snowflakes. The kids paid attention, behaved, the way kids do when they are really interested in something. And while the little movie had their undivided attention, so did the reading aloud from books, which is encouraging in this day and age. If you needed persuading, you would be persuaded that public libraries are a good thing when you watch dozens of toddlers and their parents wandering in and amusing themselves in a constructive way, and none of it costing them a dime. Before and after Story Time, there was time to hang out in the children’s section, picking over books for them to borrow, keeping an eye out for stories that were too scary (which doesn’t necessarily mean ones with alligators in them), or too earnest, or too long, or too precious, or too much aimed at pleasing grown-ups. Here is another reason to thankful for public libraries. If you know children who like books, you know that they like a lot of books. They may like to go back

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town to the same ones again and again, but they also like new books, many of them, and you would rapidly go broke buying them all. So the library is vital here. To run a children’s program well, a library doesn’t need to be grand. This is not to say that a brand new fancy library in downtown Ottawa wouldn’t be great. It would be and should be. Anyone who has seen how Vancouver’s public library adorns the city’s downtown knows how truly cool, not to mention useful, a library can be. But in building the big downtown library, it would be wrong to neglect the suburban branches. Those are the ones that are full of little kids on the days of Story Time. The buildings may be more modest, the facilities less than sumptuous. But they are close to where people live and they get used. They need to be

kept open, and perhaps be kept open more days and more hours than they are now. For one thing, this would give children an opportunity to see librarians in action, and notice what heroes they are. As anyone with children or grandchildren knows, the heroes and heroines of children’s books are usually bears, turtles, monkeys, dinosaurs or trucks, not librarians. On the rare occasion when heroes and heroines are human, they are mostly children, which is fair enough, or fire fighters, which is always good. Sometimes the stars of children’s books are knights who go around slaying dragons, which seems a little violent, not to mention archaic in the Internet age. Nowadays if you wanted to slay a dragon, you’d just pose an unflattering picture (and most dragon pictures are) on its Facebook page. Relevance in children’s literature is what we need. True, farmers get to be in children’s books, which is well-deserved. But we need to see more librarians on those large pages. Sharp-eyed readers may recall that there is indeed a heroic librarian in the book Library Lion, but she mostly takes second-billing to a lion.

Books make a big impression on young readers and listeners. That’s why there should be social workers at the centre of those books, and missionaries and researchers and statisticians. And writers too. Yes. None of these people slay dragons or find buried treasure or save Christmas, but they lead interesting and useful lives and who’s to say that they don’t deserve to be in picture books. Those of you who are public servants know the kind of quiet heroism the work entails. The trick is to find enticing story lines with words that are not too big. The library needs more public servants in picture books. Also teachers who are not owls.

Memories of Beaver Pond To the editor: Having lived nearly all of my 44 years in Kanata, I recollect fondly the thousands of hours spent throughout my childhood exploring the Beaver Pond and surrounding areas. In those days, we would hike past the boundary of Beaverbrook and into the woods, always stopping at the old Kanata riding stables to see the horses before continuing on

to find the Pond. No roads existed to the Beaver Pond so it meant following trails now long-lost. It seemed then that this magical place was miles from anywhere and it captivated us with its peace, beauty, wildlife. We would catch frogs, wander through the woods, build tree forts and live out our childhood adventures. Bit by bit, however, the paradise of our youth has disappeared. The old dirt road to SS#1 School has long since been enveloped into suburbia. Richardson Side Road has transformed from a rural, forest-lined secondary road where we would freely ride our bikes without ever seeing a car to a major artery bounded by development on all sides. The Beaver Pond forest is almost the last natural vestige of my childhood lost which remains today but which will

$28 million for flood fixes Budget calls for $22million in transit cuts JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

The draft budget released on Jan. 19 means Kanata could be getting $28 million to fix the flooding issues. Before, there was only $5 million set aside to do the work, said Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley. “What you can expect to see this year is pipe replacements, road modifications,” said Hubley. “Once the budget is finalized in the next 30 to 45 days and all the reports are tabled, we will be able to start work on many of the projects as soon as the frost is out of the ground. Residents can expect to see a lot of work happening on that this year.” Other items for Kanata residents include: •Transit and transportation. •Road construction and cycling routes. •Recreation and park improvements. Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson said she’s pleased city council was able to keep the tax increase below 2.5 per cent but it means people won’t see much increase in services. “The overall is there’s not a lot of cuts but there’s not a lot of increase in service,” she said. “It’s still a very tight budget.” Kanata homeowners can expect to see an average increase on their taxes of about 2.45 per cent, or $75. Last year the average urban tax increase was $125. “Taxes will go up a bit,” said Wilkinson, adding the powerline levy for Kanata North residents will not come into effect until 2012. “We’re half of what last year’s increase was at our starting point,” said Hubley. “I anticipate we will end up near this point. It’s a realistic budget; it’s improvements over previous years.” TRANSIT Wilkinson, who is chair of the transportation committee, said she is concerned about the cuts to transit, which equal around $22 million. “We could lose some routes,” said Wilkinson, who added she, Hubley and Stittsville Coun. Shad Quadri will sit

down together to talk about adjusting the routes in their wards. “We have to make sure there’s some choice,” she said, adding that for some people the bus is their only option to get around in the city. “It’s their only choice.” She said the city needs to look at making the entire OC Tranpo system more efficient. “I think it’s a first step of having to take a look at our overall system,” she said. “People have told me they don’t like seeing empty buses go by when in others everyone is standing up,” said Hubley. “We’re getting recommendations on where improvements can be made in the routes. If we can do something to make peoples’ trips better we’re going to do it.”

“

There’s not a lot of cuts but there’s not a lot of increase in service. • Marianne Wilkinson

”

The draft budget also includes money for park and rides in the Ottawa area. “We’ve got money put in there to do work on the park and rides in Kanata,” he said. Staff needs to talk with the National Capital Commission about possibly expanding the Eaglson park-and-ride, but what they’d really like to see is one created in Kanata North to alleviate the parking pressure, he said. “Councillor Quadri and I are pushing for a park-and-ride at Scotiabank Place. The two of us are working hard to get that. That will give us capacity for years to come.” In the draft budget, money will be put towards a Bayshore and Moodie Drive link on the transit way. “We put money into the Bayshore and Moodie link on the transitway because that’s a bottleneck area,” said Hubley. There is also work being done look-

ing at getting express routes using Terry Fox Drive, he said. OTHER ITEMS Recreation was a big issue for Kanata residents. “Since amalgamation, recreation fees have been going up and up. For the first time we froze the recreation fees,” said Hubley. “We’re going to find the savings elsewhere to pay for that. We want kids and families to have options.” He said they are looking at improvements to existing facilities, such as the tennis courts in Bridlewood and building more splash pads. The Bridlewood area has been asking for a community pool for years. “I’m not ready to announce anything right now but it’s something I’m actively working on,” said Hubley. Hertzberg Road will be closed for two weeks starting Jan. 31 while work is done on culverts, said Wilkinson, and the proposed widening of Kanata Avenue to Campeau Drive has been postponed. Fernbank Road, between Terry Fox and Eagleson Road will be getting money for improvements, said Hubley, and the city will be looking at new bike paths. $2.8 million will be put towards cycling initiatives in the draft budget, so staff is looking at putting new bike lanes on Richmond Road. “I’m wondering if there’s ways we can make our current pathways and bikeways better so people can actually get from one place to another faster by bike than by car,” said Hubley. He also said the new emergency service station opening on Iber Road in Stittsville will greatly benefit Kanata South residents in terms of response times and available emergency workers. “We’re hiring the 45 new firefighters; that’s going to improve response times for Kanata South too. Iber Road will be close by to help out.” City libraries will have “no increase in service,” said Wilkinson, who sits on the public library board. However, the Beaverbrook library is moving forward, and will be “a fairly sizable endeavour.” The city will host five regional consultation meetings in regard to the draft budget. One is scheduled for Kanata on Feb. 23 at Holy Trinity Catholic High School.

The draft budget asks for $28 million for improvements to the sewer systems, drainage, replacing pipes and road modifications to avoid flooding issues during major rain storms, such as the one experienced in 2009.

Mayor Jim Watson tabled a city budget last week aimed at keeping his election promise of limiting property tax increases to 2.5 per cent. The $2.367 billion draft city budget was presented to council on Jan. 19, and if adopted as-is, will mean a 2.45 per cent tax hike for the average homeowner – that’s about $75 extra on your annual bill, or $60 if you live in a rural area. While the 2011 draft budget largely holds the line and doesn’t include many significant increases or cuts, some areas such as the Ottawa Police Service and transit will see changes. No new police will be hired this year, and Watson hinted at possible sweeping changes to the transit network to eliminate route duplication and too many “milk runs.” “This is a budget that allows us to live within our means,” Watson said in an interview after the budget was presented. Councillors were cautiously optimistic about the budget after their first look at it during last Wednesday’s council meeting. Bay Ward Coun. Mark Taylor praised the decision to split up the budget into different envelopes to be debated by each city committee. CONSTRUCTION IN 2011 The big news for west-end residents is

a $28 million investment in sewer backup problems to address flooding – something that will likely be met with a positive response in places like Glen Cairn, which has been plagued by floods. Construction on the Highway 417 water TransMain on Carling is expected to cost the city $33.6 million in 2011. That watermain will allow for more growth in the west end. One of the biggest projects in the city’s outlying areas will be the extension of Hunt Club Road from Russell Road to Highway 417 – A $64-million project that is slated to get underway this year. In upcoming years, Greenbank Road will be rebuilt from Malvern to Strandherd. That project should start this year, but most of the construction – about $20 million worth – will happen in 2013. The three-year budget forecast includes plans to invest $28.5 million in reconstructing Campeau Drive, but most of that work won’t happen until 2014. The city will also try out its first “bike box” pilot project northbound on Bay Street at Wellington. A bike box is a different configuration for intersections that allows cyclists to advance in front of cars with the hope of reducing cyclist-vehicle collisions. That’s part of a $2.8-million investment in initiatives to make Ottawa more “cyclist friendly.” Watson also highlighted a number of new initiatives. The city will invest $15 million in a new “Service Ottawa” project to cut red

Poverty reduction initiatives will get a $10-million infusion of cash, plus $4 million in capital for housing projects, and Watson pledged $2 million in economic development initiatives. FINDING SAVINGS With only a small tax increase planned, and a number of new expenses on the books, the city will find the extra money in “management efficiencies” that will save $22 million in 2011 and up to $44 million by 2014. The city also has an extra $25 million to work with thanks to the province uploading costs associated with the Ontario Disability Support Program and Ontario Works. Watson said he didn’t want to reduce “frontline” services that residents expect the city to provide, and instead chose to make cuts behind the scenes. While departments will each get an increase this year, it just won’t be as much as they probably hoped for, Watson said. Management efficiencies will deliver some of the biggest savings, the mayor said: no raises for senior city staff, saving $1.7 million, a $300,000 reduction in discretionary spending on things such as conferences and business travel and slashing the budget for consultants and legal services by $1 million.

2011: Draft budget

LAURA MUELLER laura.mueller@metroland.com

The city won’t be getting 23 new officers – or a planned Ottawa south police station – in order to reduce tax increases. The police service was forced to chop $6.1 million from its planned 2011 budget, with $2.9 million of that coming from the elimination of new spending that was expected this year. The cuts were made to line up with city council’s orders to limit budget and tax increases to 2.5 per cent. The police service will actually spend $9 million more this year than last year, but it’s less than the force was hoping to have in its coffers. Cutting 23 new police officer positions will save $800,000 this year. The only new spending item that remains in the 2011 budget is additional training, but that expenditure was slashed almost in half, from $250,000 to $150,000. A project to upgrade the police radio system may be delayed, but it must go ahead because all police forces in the province are required to makes the upgrades. Trimming the budget also means that the planned Ottawa south police station near the Strandherd-Armstrong Bridge

The new station was intended to serve the growing south-end communities of Barrhaven, Barrhaven South, Stonebridge, Riverside South and Manotick. “It concerns me a great deal,” said Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder. She asked the police chief to report back on how the situation would be handled. “First and foremost he is going to make sure our city is safe. He’s going to take care to have his officers in the right

place,” Harder said. She said that policing isn’t necessarily about the buildings, it is about the officers that are posted in the community. Residents can weigh in on the draft police budget Feb. 28 at 4 p.m. in the Champlain Room at city hall. Comments can also be made at the police services board meeting on March 7, when the board is expected to pass the budget. City council will vote to accept the police budget and the rest of the city’s budget later that day.

Ottawa, January 24, 2011 My first ski instructor was Fernand Bonnevie. I saw him at Christmas. He is 96. He doesn’t ski anymore. Even walking is too difficult. He gets 24-7 care from a live-in caregiver (his wife died years ago), children and grandchildren. Not in a hospital or long-term care setting, but from his old house in the alpine village of Val d’Isère. Does it complicate things? To an extent, yes. He doesn’t benefit from doctors conducting complex procedures to make it easier for him to walk. Would he prefer a long-term care space? Not a chance. From his house, he uses binoculars to spy on an Alpine Ibex who is also struggling with old age. He worries about the Ibex, but cherishes his ability to relate to the world outside. Between advanced but invasive care and quality of life, Fernand chooses quality of life, surrounded by the nature and people he loves.

The choice raises important questions for all health providers who care for the elderly. Are acute care hospitals a good setting for people like Fernand? Is there a better way? A consensus is emerging between hospitals, community healthcare providers, caregivers and care coordinators such as the Community Care Access Network: once they have treated seniors, acute care hospitals are not well suited to providing them the comfort, dignity and quality of life they should expect. Home, where patients can enjoy the independence from which so much of their dignity derives, along with the company of loved ones, is better. That is why our social workers – along with our leadership and a host of other health professionals – are working with the Community Care Access Network, the Local Health Integration network and other partners in health to implement Home First. Home First is a new approach to care that immediately starts the discussion, upon admission to hospital, about the best place and options available to patients and families after discharge. The approach puts every stakeholder in the system on the same page, seeking ways to reintegrate elderly patients into the community as promptly, compassionately and safely as possible.

2011: Draft budget

Councillor calls bus-route cuts ‘shifty’

Proposed cuts to OC Transpo routes won’t be revealed until after the budget has been passed.

Transit cuts won’t be detailed until after the budget passes

LAURA MUELLER laura.mueller@metroland.com

Some city councillors aren’t happy that proposed cuts to OC Transpo routes won’t be revealed until after the city’s budget has passed in March. A review of Ottawa’s transit system will reveal proposed changes to the system, including the elimination of routes. But while a draft version of the report is due next month, a detailed report outlining specific routes to be cut won’t be ready until after the city’s budget is passed. That has made some councillors, including Innes Ward Coun. Rainer Bloess, “uncomfortable.” “It’s almost like playing a shell game with our customers – our residents,” Bloess told fellow members of the city’s transit commission at its first meeting on Jan. 20, calling the process “shifty.” The transit commission will get an idea of potential cuts during its meeting on Feb. 16, but the full American Public Transportation Association (APTA) report won’t be available until its March 23 meeting – after the budget is expected to be passed on March 7. While city staff have planned for two weeks of consultation on the proposed changes after the APTA report is released, Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson said it is not enough. “Once we know the ones they want to cut in our area, we’ll work with the community with any additional changes that might be needed,” said Wilkinson, who also heads up the city’s transportation committee.

Transit has proved to be a contentious topic in the past, with massive public outcry over proposed route cuts during the budget process. Wilkinson applauded Mayor Jim Watson’s willingness to tackle the bloated costs of running OC Transpo. “The transit costs are skyrocketing, we’ve got to bring them under control,” she said. “This is a wake-up call.” After this process is done, Wilkinson said she would like to see a more all-encompassing review of whether the transit system is set up in the most efficient way possible. “This is a tweaking system …but is our system set up the best way it could be? Should we be taking a look at the whole system and seeing is there some way we can make it work better by adjusting almost everything?” Wilkinson said. “It’s a big job, but it hasn’t been done in many years.” TRANSIT FARES TO GO UP 2.5 PER CENT A small hike in transit fares would go into effect in June if the city adopts the draft budget. Fares have gone up 7.5 per cent in each of the past three years, Watson said, but the proposed increase this year is 2.5 per cent. In the future, riders will be able to purchase fares online and through kiosks as part of the SmartCard system, but that service won’t be available until April of 2012, said Alain Mercier, the head of OC Transpo. In the meantime, people can still purchase tickets and passes at outlets across the city, including the OC Transpo storefront at the Rideau Centre. The city’s transit commission approved a fiveyear extension on the lease of the thirdfloor mall location, which is intended to become a “flagship” location for OC Transpo, Mercier said.

All 850 city parks to be officially designated

LAURA MUELLER laura.mueller@metroland.com

More than 850 parks are set to be officially designated by the City of Ottawa as part of an attempt to shield green spaces from future claims by landowners and developers. The city lists the parks on its website, but the no one seems to know exactly how many of those parks are officially dedicated as parkland for public use. Only about 160 parks in the former City of Ottawa were officially designated, said Carey Thompson, a lawyer for the city. That uncertainty has left some community groups and some on council, such as Somerset Coun. Diane Homes and Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder, concerned the parks could be vulnerable to claims from nearby landowners or development. Holmes and Harder asked city staff to look at the policy, and last week the city’s community and protective services committee recommended a policy that would see all 850 parks dedicated with a blanket bylaw.

Holmes was concerned about preventing another “Sylvia Holden Park situation,” she said. A debate over whether that park should have been included in the plan to redevelop adjacent Lansdowne Park left the community wondering whether it would still have that green space in the future. Some said officially designating that park would have made it more difficult to include Sylvia Holden Park in the Lansdowne plan. But one resident who spoke at the meeting has reservations about the process. Linda Hoad, a member of the Hampton-Iona Community Group, said the plan is a step in the right direction, but there are huge flaws in the process. The information on the city’s website is sparse – some of the parks don’t even have municipal addresses listed. The address is an essential detail needed to connect the park to its legal description, including the dimensions and boundaries of the park. City staff said they will meet with ward councillors to review descriptions of the parks in their wards and those details would be cleaned up before the dedication bylaw is expected to be passed by council, after the budget process is completed in March. The city could have gone through the list of parks to research and designate each park individually, but that would take years and cost an estimat-

The blanket designation would offer almost as much protection, with far less cost and time commitment, he said. But Hoad said that process doesn’t include enough research to be sure that the parks will be protected. “It’s not the councillors’ jobs to know the limits of every park in their neighbourhoods,” she said. “There is a lot of information missing that is going to make it difficult for the councillors to do what is proposed.”

Police volunteer helps prevent auto theft JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Forty-five people came back to their vehicles in the Centrum parking lot to find a warning notice about theft prevention under their windshield wipers on Jan. 9. Kevin Heiss, the co-ordinator of the Ottawa police auto theft prevention program, handed out the warning tickets to those who left valuables visible in their vehicles – things like GPS units, wallets, cell phones and purses. “Many people think along the lines of, ‘Well it’s only $200 if it’s stolen,’” said Heiss, who volunteers with the Ottawa police. “What they don’t think about is the cost to replace the window, insurance, towing and the like.” The theft prevention program began two years ago after a rash of vehicle break-ins. Volunteers with the police force will scour parking lots for cars with unlocked doors or expensive items left in plain view – easy targets for anyone with sticky fingers. “I get into the mindset of a criminal,” said Heiss, who generally works a fourhour shift once a week. “I just take a quick look; I don’t hang around too long.” Heiss generally hits one area a week in Kanata – the Centrum and Signature Centre lots, the Hazeldean Mall, restaurant parking lots and populated side streets are just some of the places he issues warnings.

He said he tries to keep an eye on problem places. THEFT PREVENTION “We’re not actually allowed to touch the car,” said police volunteer Victor McNabney, who helped Heiss hand out warnings in the frigid weather. The two worked in tandem, each walking up and down a row of parking spots looking into the vehicles and writing the warnings. “I’ll go through every row,” said Heiss, who studied criminology at Carleton University and Police Foundations at Algonquin College. Heiss has run into a number of situations while handing out the warning tickets. “Wearing a florescent vest with ‘police’ on the back people automatically assume I’m with the police,” he said. He’s walked past cars with people rolling joints inside. “They get scared and take off pretty quick,” he said. “Even though there’s nothing I can do – I don’t have (police) privileges.” A lot of people will come up to him to ask what he’s doing and if he’s handing out parking tickets. Generally, people are amiable when they find out his purpose, but some can get nasty. Heiss said he once had an older gentleman get in his face about putting a warn-

Heiss goes out in all weather, at all times of the year to warn people about the possible ramifications of leaving their car in a vulnerable position. “It goes in spurts but I would say the summertime is the worst,” he said. He sees a lot of half open windows “where people can just reach in and un-

lock (the car).” The theft prevention program helps cut down on police report times, saves on insurance costs, keeps people from missing work and helps them avoid towing charges – all things that can happen if a car is broken into.

A Kanata entrepreneur and one of the few female CEOs of Canadian high-tech companies is one of 30 new appointees to the Order of Ontario. Suhayya (Sue) Abu-Hakima will officially receive the honour from Ontario Lt.-Gov.-Gen. David Onley at a ceremony to be held at Queen’s Park on Thursday, Jan. 27. “It’s such an honour to be recognized,” said Abu-Hakima. “I was really surprised I was going to be named to the Order of Ontario – I’m proud; my family is proud.” Abu-Hakima began her career in Nortel Labs before launching her first start-up, AmikaNow! which she sold to Entrust in 2004. Three years later, Abu-Hakima started Amika Mobile, a company that specializes in sending e-mail alerts on mobiles; as a CEO, she is responsible for creating more

than 180 jobs – 80 of them in the field of artificial intelligence. The Kanata Lakes woman holds degrees from McGill and Carleton universities and is an adjunct professor at the University of Ottawa where she mentors graduate students in the field of artificial intelligence. She holds a bachelor’s and master’s degrees in engineering from Carleton, specializing in artificial intelligence. She holds 25 international patents – with another six pending – in content analysis and messaging and has published more than 100 papers. COMMUNITY The golden rule for any successful entrepreneur is that they give back to their community, said Abu Hakima. “I think it’s really important for people who are successful to serve their community,” said Abu-Hakima, who also mentors young women who work in her

company. The CEO of Amika Mobile makes a point of speaking at schools to encourage children to enter the field of science of technology. “We’ve seen the numbers of science and technology and they’re not going in,” she said. The Kanata woman has also volunteered her time serving on the board of directors of organizations such as the Ottawa Centre for Research and Innovation’s Ottawa Software Cluster to encourage innovation in Ottawa’s business community. Abu-Hakima is also a director on the board of the Ontario Centers of Excellence and a member of the Private Sector Advisory Board of the National Centers of Excellence and is the chair of the board of the Centre of Excellence for Communications and Information Technology. In 2003, Abu-Hakima was one of the contributors to the Prime Minister’s Task Force on women entrepreneurs.

You have to go out and get people to believe in your ideas,” she said. “You’re a heretic as an entrepreneur until they start seeing your product work.” Entrepreneurs must learn to accept risk, said Abu-Hakima. “The first thing to do is deal with the fear,” she said. “Don’t be afraid.” Next, sit down and work through your idea, said Abu-Hakima. Then use your network of friends, co-workers and colleagues to help you develop the idea, she said.

Suhayya (Sue) Abu-Hakima was named to the Order of Ontario. Abu-Hakima credits a large part of her and her brother’s success to her parents, both professors at McGill University. “They brought us up to believe there’s no job we can’t take on,” she said.

The Kanata Minor Atom Blazers won the Peterborough Liftlock tournament and the Capital Winter Classic.

Blazers take home second tournament win in seven days The Kanata Minor Atom Blazers won the 53rd annual Peterborough Liftlock tournament, held Jan. 15 to 16. The team lost their opener before winning four games in a row against tough competition from Colbourne, Port Perry, Otonobee and Woodville. All 17 Blazers contributed to

the success with 10 different goal scorers and strong goaltending by Jared Mullin in the semi-final and Carson Norkum in the final. This past weekend, the Blazers won the seventh annual Capital Winter Classic tournament with an almost perfect record with four wins and a tie.

There was no lack of heat at the Capital Winter Classic hockey tournament as the Kanata Minor Bantam AA Blazers torched their way to a championship victory on Jan. 16. Coach Kevin MacTavish employed a “team-first” mentality and deflected all praise to the players. “We climbed a ladder of success but we could only do it if every single player made a commitment to the team,” he said. A perfect 6-0 record, including three victories against Toronto teams, was the result. Defence coach Phil Morey was vocal in instilling an armoured defence wall and the team never allowed more than one goal per game. His defence combinations displayed deft passing by Jamie Watt and Lindsay Eastwood, bone-crushing body checks by Jordan Lopez and Charles Wickham and bullet-like shooting by Ryan Eady and Gregory Wasylasko. Goaltenders Harrison Witt and Declan Morey were stellar with mind-numbing reflex saves and stingy rebound control repeatedly frustrating offensive attacks. Offense coach Dave Eastwood supercharged the team in pre-game talks and relied on all three lines to produce 16 goals on the weekend. The line of Carter Hertner, Jerry Cole and Troy MacTavish produced

The Kanata Minor Bantam AA Blazers torched their way to a championship victory on Jan. 16. highlight reel goals while the line of James O’Brien, Collin Baggio and Matthew Dick mesmerized the opposition with their tic-tac-toe passing. The line of Quinn Gordon, Jake Taylor and Nicholas Desjardins were relentless in their forecheck pursuit culminating in producing the winning championship goal in a 2-1 win over archrivals, the Ottawa Valley Silver Seven.

The dressing room walls shook as the room rang out the song, “We are the Champions.” Team managers were gushing with praise for the respectful and enthusiastic support of the Blazer families and fans. Victory is sweet when every player is called upon to make a contribution and the players responded admirably. Minor hockey is definitely alive and well in Kanata.

Norm Foster returns to Kanata

THURSDAY, JAN. 27 • The next meeting of the Kanata and District Breast Cancer Support Group will be held at 7 p.m. in Hall D, Mlacak Centre, 2500 Campeau Dr. For information, please contact Jan at 613-592-4793.

DWAYNE AYLWARD When Jenny’s House of Joy begins its two-week run on Feb. 1, it will mark the fifth time a Norm Foster-penned play has been performed by Kanata Theatre in the past six seasons. And there’s a pretty simple reason why they keep bringing Canada’s most prolific playwright back: audiences just adore him. Previous KT productions such as The Long Weekend, Here on the Flight Path and Kiss the Moon, Kiss the Sun performed to sellout crowds who were in need of a good laugh and, on occasion, a good cry. And with Jenny’s House of Joy, Foster fans shouldn’t expect anything less. Set in the old “Wild West,” the story takes place in a “house of ill repute” where the establishment’s owner, Jenny (played by Andrea Fajrajsl), runs a tight ship – keeping a close eye on the three ladies who work for her. Things get shaken up, however, when a young runaway (Katie Buller) shows up at her door, looking for a job even though she seems far too innocent to take on one of the world’s oldest professions. “Being inside a brothel, it’s all about the interpersonal relations among the whores. It is funny, serious, poignant, and tender all at once, and will also keep the audience on the edge of their seats with its tension,” said director Jon Alkan.
