GRAND OPENING
Ellis, president of Our Youth at Work Association, said there needs to be more investment made in skilled workers, starting at the high-school level. Without having any direct knowledge of the situation, Ellis believes the 55-gallon drum Leighton was cutting into was a used one because of the peppermint oil vapours inside. “That tells me right away that the raw products they were using were not first class,” he said “They were probably something used that were able get from somewhere else. I think that’s an indication right there that the financial resources for that class need to be strengthened.” See ‘Workplace’, page 3

The city is taking the guesswork out of recycling by allowing all plastic containers in the blue bin. Now, following an announcement on June 10, the only materials residents can’t put in their recycling bins are plastic bags and Styrofoam containers. Most notably, the thin No. 1 plastic containers used to pack-
age fruit, eggs and baked goods – also referred to as “clamshell” containers – are now allowed in the bin, as are single-serve yogurt cups. Plastic pails, painting trays and flower pots can also be recycled. That may come as a surprise to many residents who were already putting those items in their bin, leaving the city’s waste collection contractor to sort the forbidden plastics out of the pile.

Blue bin fills with more plastic containers From ‘Extra’, page 1 That extra step is now eliminated as the change is effective immediately. Part of the confusion is because the city used to collect many of these types of plastic in the past, but a dip in the market for some recyclable plastics around 2003 meant it cost municipalities more to collect certain plastics than they could get in return for selling them in the commodities market. Ottawa and other municipalities stopped collecting some types of plastic because it was too costly to do so. But the provincial government recently created a financial incentive for two facilities in southern Ontario to buy types of plastic that aren’t in high demand, so the city now has a buyer who is willing to purchase those types of plastic. The city’s solid-waste services department estimates the change will divert an additional 1,400 tonnes of waste from the landfill. But River Coun. Maria McRae, who heads the city’s environment committee, said she expects residents will put a lot more than that into their blue bins now that recycling will be simpler. “We expect to collect a lot more than this.” That will bring Ottawa closer to its target of diverting 60 per cent of waste away from the landfill, said Mayor Jim Watson. “Anything to bring us closer to 60 per cent is good for the environment
and our pocketbooks,” he said. The expansion will end up costing the city around $46,000. While the addition of new plastics is expected to generate around $50,000 in revenue, it will also cost more to collect additional plastic. But the cost is worthwhile because it helps extend the life of the city’s landfill, said Marilyn Journeaux, the city’s manager of sold waste services. “Our landfill is a valuable asset,” Journeaux said. Now, the city will try to get the message out to residents. McRae said a lot of that public education will happen at events that were already planned for the fall to inform residents about the new biweekly garbage/weekly green bin collection system that will begin in June of 2012. Visit www.ottawa.ca/recycle for a complete list of recyclable materials. WHAT’S IN WHAT’S OUT Which plastics go in the blue bin? New items: • All food and household containers with plastics numbered 1 to 7 • “Clamshells” (fruit and bakery containers, clear egg cartons) • Single-serve yogurt containers • Pails (metal handle removed) • Planting trays and flower pots Items already accepted: • Plastic bottles, jars and jugs • Plastic tubs and lids (yogurt, margarine, etc.

Community news in brief TWO MEN IN HOSPITAL A 19 and 20-year-old are in hospital after their vehicle hit a tree on Craig Henry Drive on the morning of June 12. Paramedics were called to the scene at 9:35 a.m. and treated the two men for injuries. Both are in hospital in stable condition. WATER RESCUE A SUCCESS The two occupants of a sailing boat caught on a shoal in the Ottawa River near the Nepean Sailing Club were unharmed on June 12 after being rescued by Fire Services. Water rescue units responded with 20 firefighters and five vehicles after receiving the call at approximately 2:30 p.m. TURNER WINS ALUMNI AWARD Jeff Turner, a horticulture and landscape design program graduate, earned the Algonquin College Alumni Award which he was presented at the Woodroffe Ave. campus on June. 9. Over 100 graduates were in attendance. After starting and running his own business as president of Turner Design Built, he went onto work on several Boards including the board of trustees
at the Canadian Museum of Nature. He moved into fund raising as vice president eastern Canada for the Bruce Denniston Bone Marrow Society, then senior director, partnership development and sponsorship with United Way/Centraide Ottawa. “I am truly honoured that I was selected for this award, especially since there are so many great alumni,” he said. “Algonquin College has always been a big part of my life and professional career and I’m proud to say I’m still closely connected to it.” The Alumni of the Year Award is presented annually to an Algonquin College alumnus for their outstanding contributions to Algonquin College and society. AN EASIER TRANSITION HOME Giving seniors a sense of independence for a longer period of time is what Champlain Local Health Integration Network is striving for with a recent program announcement. The Champlain LHIN is investing in a new Transition to Home program at the Queensway Carleton Hospital that is transforming health care for seniors after undergoing medical treatment. The program is housed in a special 24-bed unit at the hospital and provides restorative care to improve the day-to-
day functioning of frail seniors who have completed treatment but are not yet ready to go home. Because seniors often lose strength and mobility while hospitalized, restorative care is key to recovery and can often prevent premature admissions to long-term care homes. The Champlain LHIN provided $2.75 million to the Queensway Carleton Hospital to fund the program. Government of Canada announces over $300,000 in new funding for research equipment at Algonquin College COLLEGE RECEIVES GRANT FOR EQUIPMENT Algonquin College’s director of Applied Research and Innovation, Dr. Mark Hoddenbagh, applauds the government for their recent investment of $334,515 in equipment for research projects at the college. The recently-announced $334,515 has been earmarked for equipment in five key areas: • A 3D printer to provide rapid prototyping for design and engineering for the Faculty of Technology and Trades, and the Faculty of Arts, Media and Design ($24,475); • A mobile science unit equipped with on-board research instrumentation that will be used for environmental research by the Forestry Program at the Pembroke
Campus ($104,103); • Fibre optics to upgrade and enhance the fibre optical networks research program ($51, 854) in the Photonics Program; • Lasers to rapidly prototype and test novel optics and laser configurations for the Faculty of Technology and Trades ($140,862); and, • Computer applications including servers and associated equipment to improve collaboration with partners ($13,221) across the college. “This type of funding demonstrates that the Government of Canada recognizes the important role colleges play in the national research agenda,” said Dr. Mark Hoddenbagh, director of Applied Research and Innovation at Algonquin College, said, as he recognized the government for their continued investment in applied research projects at colleges across the country. This equipment funding for Algonquin College came as a part of the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) College and Community Innovation (CCI) Program’s Applied Research Tools and Instruments (ARTI) grants. These grants support the purchase of research equipment and installations to foster and enhance the ability of colleges to undertake applied research.

were denied and direct calls to board chair Gord Butler were not returned. Communications officer Mardi de Kemp said in an email that the board is continuing to co-operate with the fire marshal who is coordinating the external investigations and that the Ontario School Boards’ Insurance Exchange (OSBIE) is coordinating the board’s internal investigation. “There are no curriculum expectations on barbecues, but in some cases students may take on projects like these as part of an independent study,” Ministry of Education spokesperson Gary Wheeler said in an email. “There are a number of investigations that are currently under way and it is important to let those investigations unfold. We will follow them closely and will work with our partners on any lessons that can be learned.” An employee from a west-end appliance and barbecue store, who refused to be named, said it is common to build barbecues out of these drums and that the odds of an explosion were about as likely as “getting hit by lightning.” The Ontario Ministry of Labour is also investigating the incident, but declined to comment specifically. Spokesperson Matt Blajer said the ministry is investigating under the Occupational Health and Safety Act and is treating the students in the classroom as em-
ployees. A quick look at the act would indicate that two parts – Duties of Employers and Other Persons and Toxic Substances – are likely where the ministry is focusing its attention. A comment from the Ministry of Education was not given within 24 hours. Ellis, who is also an advocate for more skilled workers in Canada, believes schools have largely done a good job training students with the resources available, particularly through their co-operative education programs. But he also believes those who aren’t in co-op programs don’t get the same information. Ellis said even though there were 40,000 reported injuries last year in Ontario for workers between the ages of 15 and 24, that number represents only a small portion of the total number of people who are getting hurt on the job site. “Most young Canadians between the age of 15 and 24 don’t report injuries out of fear of loss of job,” he said, adding that students might do the same if they believe their mark could be diminished. “In Canada we’re living in a society were we should be able to report injuries.” With many students now working labour-type summer jobs, Ellis wants
to remind people to think about more than just the experience they’re getting and the money they’re making. Ellis said workers need to make sure they ask as many questions as possible to ensure they feel comfortable on the job site. “I think that those types of questions need to be asked,” he said. “I ask all students and parents to help out in delivering those simple questions and find the answers before you start working.”

Manotick school hosts event to replace play structure Manotick Public School is appealing for community support as it attempts to raise nearly $60,000 to replace two play structures that must be torn down at the end of the month. The two structures were deemed unsafe last August as part of an annual inspection completed by the school board. Both wooden playgrounds are slightly unlevel and are missing bolts and proper supports. While the school does have a bigger play structure made 11 years ago out of steel and rubber, it is too big for the school’s kindergarten children to use. Manotick Public School currently has English and French half-day classes in the morning and afternoon – four total – and will be getting fullday kindergarten in September 2012. Right now, approximately 70 of the 250 students in the kindergarten-to-Grade 5 school are kindergarten-aged chil-
dren. “With the full-day kindergarten coming, it’s even more important because it’s going to be used in the morning and afternoon,” said parentcouncil member Lisa Powell. “They’ll already have to go a year without a play structure.” Principal Erin Linnen said the earliest the structures could be replaced is by next spring, but even to have construction finished by September 2012 would be unlikely without an outpouring of financial aid. So far, the school has raised $5,000 through various small fundraisers and needs at least $8,000 to apply to the City of Ottawa for a grant. “For a fairly )small school, this is quite the undertaking and quite the challenge,” Linnen said. “We’re hoping we’ll get community support and that will add up quickly.” The school is hosting a fundraiser on June 18 from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., where children and adults can take
part in a variety of games and activities, including face painting, arts and crafts, balloon pop, darts and a silent auction. Some of the games on hand will include guess the weight of a cake, or the amount of jelly beans in a jar, an ugly tie competition and a student art competition, with judging to be done by the Manotick Art Association. There will also be a silent auction with donations from parents and local businesses up for grabs. Emma Kinnaird is the volunteer and fundraising coordinator for Manotick Public School Council. She suggested a spring fair months ago to help raise money for the two of the three play structures on site that need replacing. The community can also celebrate as the school turns 70 years old. “Our little school is as successful and vibrant as ever and we hope to continue its legacy in the Manotick community,” Powell said.

From ‘More’, page 1 Ellis founded Our Youth at Work Association 10 years ago, after his son, David, died in a work-place accident in Oakville, Ont. David’s death came on only his second day on the job, where, Ellis said he did not receive adequate training. Since then, he has regularly visited high schools throughout the province to discuss safety in the workplace. Ellis attended Mother Teresa a year ago where he conducted a simulcast broadcast for all of the Ottawa-area Catholic high schools. “A lot of incidents occur in the first 30 days in the workplace where there is a lack of supervision, a lack of knowledge and a lack of experience,” he said. Leighton and his classmates were making a barbecue for a year-end carnival using a 55-gallon drum when vapours from the peppermint oil inside the drum ignited and caused the explosion. Witnesses on the scene said this was the first time such a project had occurred. “If you were working on something for a long period of time and then you moved to a new project and didn’t get the proper orientation, training or supervision… there are strong signals right away that something could happen.” Requests for interviews with the Ottawa District Catholic School Board

Barrhaven’s newest Saints Four signature Legionnaires knighted into Ottawa’s Order of Saint George DANIEL NUGENT-BOWMAN daniel.bowman@metroland.com
The Barrhaven Legion made a little history when four of its signature members were invested into the Order of Saint George on June 4. Founding branch president Ray Desjardins, past president Ernie Hughes, branch chairman David Cole and current president Gus Este were all knighted at the Church of St. Bartholomew, marking the first time four active legionnaires were invested into the Order’s Grand Priory of Canada and the Americas in a single ceremony. They were made up nearly one fifth of the 23 new members this year. “It puts your community on the map and puts some distinction on the branch,” Desjardins said. The Canadian Priory was founded in Niagara Falls, Ont. on March 1, 2003. It was inspired from the original Order, which was founded by King Károly Róbert of Hungary in 1326. While the Order was based in Christian values, it is now a secular honour bestowed on those who attempt to set the example for the community and create a better world. Each of the four Legion honourees is active volunteers through-

You’re 10 feet off the ground.” Retired major general Lewis MacKenzie led knighting, raising and proclamation at the ceremony. The ceremony also included dubbing, spurring and cloaking rituals, the latter of which saw the postulants don cloaks made partially from material originally used nearly 700 years ago. The quartet was nominated by Joe Varner, husband of Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod. Desjardins said they were nominated because of their work growing the Barrhaven Legion from its beginning with 50 members in 2004 to the 450 it has now. “If we say we’re going to do something, we do it,” he said. “The approach we took was right in line.” While Desjardins said the group is proud to be part of the Order, he wants to use his new position as “leverage” with some of the Saint George members to see if he can get more support for his “second home” – the Barrhaven Legion. “It opens up a whole bunch of doors,” he said.

Sewage overflows halved since 2006

Barrhaven Ottawa South This Week -JUNE 16 2011

The amount of untreated sewage and rainwater that overflows into the Ottawa River has been cut by more than half since 2006. The results come as the City of Ottawa continues to roll out its $250 million Ottawa River Action Plan. One component, the $30 million realtime control system, made a big difference, Mayor Jim Watson said during a June 3 announcement. That system was completed in December and Watson said sewage overflows are expected to go down even more in 2011 during the first full year of operation of the control system. Despite above average rainfall between April and November of last year, there were “significant reductions” in the amount of sewage that overflowed into the river, the
mayor said. The mayor said the action plan is the city’s response to residents who said the safety of the river is a top priority. The investment is a good one, aid River Ward Coun. Maria McCrae, because it will create a better, safer community for future generations. “Just like roads and buildings, our environment is an asset,” said McCrae, who is also the chair of the city’s environment committee. “Nothing hits closer to home than the river.” In 2010, the total combined sewage overflow was 424,000 cubic metres. That’s compared to more than a million cubic metres of sewage measured when the city first began to collect the data in 2006. The next step in the Ottawa River Action plan is construction of a $140 million system of huge underground tanks to hold the overflow so less of it is released into the river. That project is supposed to get underway
in the next two years, McCrae said, but the city needs to secure funding from the federal and provincial governments before it moves forward – something the mayor has been working on. WHERE ARE THE OVERFLOWS? Of the five site where major overflows occurred, the worst offender in 2010 was the Rideau Canal interceptor. While it didn’t have the highest number of overflows (it overflowed 44 times in 2010), it did release the largest volume of sewage into the river: 146,000 cubic metres. Manor Park had the most overflows, with 48 incidents dumping 25,800 cubic metres of sewage into the river. The Booth Street sewer was also a major offender, leaking 122,000 cubic metres of sewage into the Ottawa River (this site alone released 268,000 last year – the largest volume in the city).

Ottawa’s most artistic teens proved to be tops in the country after all three National Gallery So You Want to Be an Artist winners hailed from the national capital region. The winners were announced June 3 after being shortlisted in a group of 12 finalists from across the country. Teens aged 16 to 19 were asked to submit a piece of artwork online, which was then voted on through Facebook to decide the 12 finalists. A panel of judges chose the top three winners, who will hang their work in the National Gallery until July 2. Program co-ordinator Gary Goodacre said it was fluke that all the winners came from Ottawa, since the judges didn’t have that information, but that about half of the contest’s 126 submissions were from Ontario. Former Canterbury High School student Xiangshen Jason Guo won first prize for his work My First Red, a graphite drawing that depicts a Chinese youth wearing a scarf and experiencing a nosebleed. John McRae Secondary School student Nicholas Callies won second place for his photo entitled Canadian War Museum, which attempts to “bring out something interesting out of (an) ordinary place.” The Grade 11 student’s black and white photograph of a railing along the side of

John McRae Secondary School student Nick Callies’ photo won second place in the National Gallery’s So You Want to be an Artist contest that wrapped up on June 3. the war museum building at LeBreton Flats is transformed from an everyday sight to something truly eye-catching. “Working in black and white allows the viewer to concentrate on what I think are the most important parts of the photograph: composition, lighting, and texture,” Callies explained in his statement. The third place winner was Cen-
tretown resident Keir MacDonald, for his photograph Enclosed that used a marble as a lens to capture a young girl while MacDonald repeatedly threw the marble in the air until he got his shot. “I figured out that if I threw it in air, I could get picture in the split second it hung in the air,” he explained, noting he had originally wanted to capture an image inside a water droplet, but the droplet was too small. “Once I had that image in my head I just had to make it reality.” The first place winner will take home a $1,000 online gift card for art supplies, as well as an opportunity to visit behind the scenes at the NGC, meet some of the professionals who work there and have his portfolio vetted by experts. The second prize winner will receive a $1,000 online art supplies gift card and the third place winner will get $500 online for art supplies. Goodacre said he was in awe of the level of talent that was
submitted throughout the winter before the voting started. “We were really happy with the quality of all of the submissions, and all of the 12 finalists were really strong,” he said, noting that 11 of 12 finalists submitted “representational” works rather than abstract. “They were really well-rounded. They were interesting works, the artists had interesting things to say about them, they were technically sound, and the kids were very creative at promoting themselves.”

The City of Ottawa’s agriculture and rural affairs committee has endorsed a bittersweet staff recommendation to allow a Greely developer to go ahead with a 40-lot subdivision west of Stagecoach Road, in the face of an Ontario Municipal Board hearing that will go ahead some time this summer. Despite a movement from Osgoode Coun. Doug Thompson to recess and let city staff consider a settlement offer that involved 60 lots on 70 acres. This would have solved many of the technical and geographical issues that sent the application to the OMB in the first place, committee members and city councillors Eli El-Chantiry, Shad Qadri and Scott Moffatt overruled the chairman to approve an amended set of staff recommendations. After a year of fighting with the developer Dan Anderson and his Sunset Lakes corporation, city staff recommended that the developer by approved for 34 lots instead of 40 to solve the nitrate problem, and added a stipulation that prevents any more development from ever taking place on the 45-acre plot. At the June 10 special ARAC meeting, committee members voted to increase the lot number to 40 like the developer had asked, but kept the clause that forces the developer to “utilize the full development potential of the subject lands” – a condition Thompson said the developer is sure to contest at the OMB hearing later in the summer. Thompson said he was “terribly disap-
pointed” that the settlement application, which proposed to add 25 undeveloped acres outside the village boundary to the land so that the nitrate build-ups would be diluted even further, wasn’t considered because city staff had deemed the application incomplete, and therefore staff hadn’t provided comment or analysis for committee members to consider. At the special agriculture and rural affairs committee meeting on June 10, Sunset Lakes developer Dan Anderson noted in his presentation that he plans to build two full-sized soccer fields into the 40-lot subdivision proposed for 1566 Stagecoach Rd, which the city would be able to buy back as a later date. These front-end agreements between developers and the City of Ottawa to build park space are quite common according to ARAC chairman and Osgoode Coun. Doug Thompson, who said having developers build the field is much cheaper than having the city do it. “They have a lot of that equipment in their trucks and their earth moving equipment and their high hoes, and that’s one of the reasons that Dan (Anderson) has said he can do that cheaper than the city. They do this all the time,” Thompson explained. Once it’s complete, it would take about two years for the city to take over maintenance and turn the fields into official city parks. It usually costs about $200,000 to buy the parkland from the developer, which Thompson said is peanuts compared to the cost of building. This is a particularly inviting deal since this year’s budget has little money for sports fields, Thompson said.

An Ontario Municipal Board decision to expand the urban boundary has left some wondering which rural areas will be added to the city’s urban limits. The city fought a losing battle at the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) to defend its decision to limit the expansion of the city’s urban boundary to 230 hectares over the next 15 years. Instead, the boundary will increase by 850 hectares over the next 20 years – a figure that city staff had originally recommended and city council rejected in June of 2009. The 15-year timeframe was aimed at promoting intensified development in the city’s urban core, and council said the boundary could be expanded after that as needed. Essentially, city council’s decision recognized that more sprawl would be necessary eventually – but that decision could be put off in the short term as the city focuses on building up the lands already available for development. A group of approximately 20 developers promptly appealed that decision to the Ontario Mu-
tion on the boundary expansion, Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson said she hopes to see the same recommendations are followed when city council decides which areas will be absorbed into the urban boundary. That includes 359 hectares of land in the Kanata and Stittsville areas, as well as 102 hectares in Barrhaven, 37 hectares in Leitrim and 343 hectares in Orleans. The following areas had been considered for inclusion in the city’s urban boundary when staff originally recommended an 850-hectare expansion in 2009: - At the north end of March Road on either side of the road
nicipal Board (OMB). Some of those developers want to see the boundary expanded by between 2,500 and 3,000 hectares – a far cry from the 230 the city approved, or even the 850 hectares the OMB decided to support. The urban boundary restricts where development can occur and where city services, such as water and sewer, are offered. The OMB’s written decision calls the city’s move “clever,â€? but added that it does not follow the province’s policy statement on how growth should be projected. “The change in the planning horizon at the time of adoption ‌ to avoid the numbers generated is not good planning and reflects negatively on the earlier public process,â€? the OMB decision states. The board’s decision also means the city will have to change its approach to intensification targets within city limits, saying that targets can’t be used as a case to prevent expansion to the urban boundary.

City loses battle to rein in urban sprawl

Little steps prevail in this big fight
T
he Canadian Cancer Society’s Relay For Life is more than just a fundraiser. A record number of participants came together last weekend at the Nepean Sportsplex for a common cause: to raise money for cancer research. This year, the event raised $566,493, the highest in the Ottawa region. In an always-emotional gathering of survivors and their families, candles lit the way for thousands who wiped away tears as they remembered those in their lives who have fought and lost their battles with cancer. Many who are currently fighting, or have been one of the lucky ones and have lived to tell their stories also united for this common goal — ending cancer. According to the Canadian Cancer Society, which is the larg-
est national charitable funder of cancer research in Canada, contributed $49.5 million to fund hundreds of research projects in the country across a broad range of disciplines and types of cancer. Canadian Cancer Societyfunded research has led to major advances in knowledge about this disease. This knowledge has led to improved treatments for cancer with fewer side effects, to more sophisticated methods of detecting cancer earlier and to information about how to prevent cancer. The foundation is now in place for the current generation of researchers to do more for cancer research than any other generation before it. The next 10 to 20 years of cancer research hold great promise. This organization is a national, community-based group of
volunteers whose mission is the eradication of cancer and the enhancement of the quality of life of people living with cancer. The society is key in many roles including research, advocacy, promotion of healthy lifestyles and strategies and provinding information about care and treatment while supporting families of those striken with the disease. The society has 170,000 volunteers across Canada. It is thanks to these generous people, who work in partnership with approximately 1,200 dedicated staff, that the Canadian Cancer Society enjoys such a strong presence throughout the country. Participants in events like the Relay for Life are a big part of this success story. It’s because of you and the fundraising you do, that huge steps are being taken in this world-wide fight.

Getting around the politics of getting around
E
lection season and construction season merge once again with the announcement that the province will spend a ton of money to make things easier on the Queensway. Who knows? It might work. Mostly it hasn’t. The creation of more lanes leads to the creation of more cars and a quick return to the congestion that began it all. It can only be a pipe dream in this age when people are driven by cars, but wouldn’t it be nice if that kind of money — $200 million this time — could be spent on light rail and buses. These thoughts are occasioned by a week in Toronto, a vastly different city but with some conditions that should be familiar to us. Spending some time there, mostly on foot, gives you a useful perspective on getting around in the city. First, any city is better if you don’t have to drive in it. Toronto’s network of subways, buses and streetcars takes the strain out of getting around the city. If you can walk a few blocks, public transit will get you at least close to where you want to go. You save the big parking fees and the mental anguish that go with driving a car in that city. We don’t have public transit like that.
CHARLES GORDON Funny Town Ours is not bad for getting from a suburb into downtown. But you wouldn’t want to spend a day trying to hit all the Ottawa high spots — the National Gallery, Carleton, U of O, Rockcliffe, the Newport and the Prescott — by bus. Mind you, not all of Toronto is that well served either. If you live within reach of the subway, you’re fine, but many don’t. It has been observed, rather ominously, that the people most likely to vote for Rob Ford, the ultra-conservative winner in Toronto’s 2010 mayoralty race, were those who lived in areas with the worst public transit. In Ottawa, an ultra-conservative could pick up quite a few votes, using that criterion. But transit isn’t taken that seriously here, especially politically. If transit was uppermost in people’s

minds, a city politician who failed on transit issues would be out of work quickly. Transit matters less here, and the reason for that is that it is still possible to drive. Sure, you can run into a little congestion, a five-minute delay here, a 10-minute delay there, but most downtown traffic problems could be solved easily by opening up a big trap door under the tour buses on Wellington Street. Meanwhile, people still think it is easier to drive. In Toronto, some people think that. You can see them, not moving on the Gardiner, not moving on the Don Valley Parkway, trying to circle the block for the fifth time to find a parking space, stuck in the left-turn lane on King or Queen. Unfortunately, or fortunately, depending on how you look at it, some of that grief is headed our way. Notice how many of the downtown parking lots you used to frequent aren’t there any more? It happens here too: more condos, more people, fewer parking lots. The bad thing is that it is harder to drive a car; the good thing is that fewer people will try. All of which poses a challenge to the public transit people. If you don’t want
people to drive in Ottawa, what alternatives are you going to give them? Oh, right: a tunnel under downtown. Do you we (a) really think that’s going to happen? or (b) really think that’s going to solve everything? Good public transit, which most of Toronto has, is not only about getting to work and back. It is also about getting to the store and back, getting to the hockey game and back, getting from the museum to the shopping centre and over to the supermarket before heading home. It would be worth a lot more than $200 million to have that here.

Junior Athletics hoping to double amount of competitors TARA SHAPRANSKY tara.shapransky@metroland.com
What started out decades ago has been reinvented and become a highly anticipated event in the community in most recent years. The Junior Athletics Competition (JAC) is about family, friends and having fun – and it’s free. The event is taking place at St Patrick’s High School on Alta Vista Dr at 9:30 a.m. The event was started in the 1980s by the National Office of the One Parent Families Association (OPFA) under the name Junior Youth Olympics. It gained much interest but soon died out due to a lack of interest over time. Years later, in 2005, the Ottawa-Gatineau chapter of the OPFA decided to re-initiate the program and bring new life to a fun-filled day in the community. “It’s a free for the whole community to just have fun,” said Jane Lawley, chair of the JAC and member of the executive board of the OPFA Ottawa-Gatineau chapter of which she was a former president. “This is the sixth year that we’ve been running the event,” she said. The event has grown to 100 participants from 40 in its inaugural year. This year, already 150 are registered with 200 expected. It’s a free event for all who wish to come, but registration is required. Everyone is a winner and will be getting a medal from honorary member of the OPFA, Max Keeping. Some events include flat
races, a water-balloon toss, obstacle course, and a crowd favourite – the tug of war. “It’s a fun day regardless of culture or region and it just keeps getting bigger and bigger each year,” said Lawley. “People seem to be catching on. The last event of the day is the tug-of-war where everyone participates. It’s amazing what a piece of rope can do.” The children are divided up into age group for the younger ones and as they get older they are divided up by girls and boys. Currently, according the Lawley, the largest groups are for eight- to 10year-olds. The vent relies on volunteers and is funded by donations and fundraising. Previous donations have included a $3,000 contribution from the Senators Foundation. Some volunteers even come out of town just for the day. “We have some people coming in from Montreal and Toronto to help volunteer,” said Lawley. “It’s nice that they take time to help out. It’s much appreciated.” The entire day is free, including lunch which some people bring barbecues to help cook. At the end of the day, there will also be two draws for $100 towards summer camps for the children. One draw will be for members and one for non-members. There will also be smaller draws for mp3s, hats, games, science kits and more..

Autumn’s Canon is hoping their Bluesfest performance will give them a little extra practice prior to hitting the recording studio.
West-end band preps for Bluesfest DANIEL NUGENT-BOWMAN daniel.bowman@metroland.com
It’s been quite the year for west-end indie-rockers Autumn’s Canon. The five-piece band ended 2010 with a $5,000 cheque after winning Live 88.5 radio station’s Big Money Shot contest and then signed a management deal shortly thereafter to help guide them. Now the group will be playing its biggest show to date: an afternoon slot on the main stage at Bluesfest on Sunday, July 10. “We’re ramped about it,” Nepean-based guitarist Nick Beaton said. “Most of us being local, we’re certainly know what the exposure that Bluesfest can do for you. We’re super excited.” Now they’ll be playing a 45minute set at the Ottawa music festival comprised of some new material and songs from their five-track, self-titled EP. It was recorded at Pebble Studios in Barrhaven and released shortly after winning the Big Money Shot. A very raw-sounding compilation, aimed at “capturing the performance of the tracks in the studio,” what you hear is what
you get from Autumn’s Canon. “We do pride ourselves in being an off-the-floor, performancestyle group,” Beaton said. “We just focus on getting some good solid takes and giving people an off-the-floor experience. We wanted that to come across on the disc.” It’s been quite the transition from the band’s humble beginnings where they played acoustic songs on patios of local bars two summers ago. Autumn’s Canon was formed when Shaun Francisco headed east from Maple Ridge, B.C. to Toronto to compete on Canadian Idol after the passing of his mother. After finishing in the top 25, Francisco continued eastward to Ottawa where he met Barrhaven native Mike Hogg – the band’s current drummer – while the pair worked at a music store. Hogg got in touch with Beaton, an old high-school acquaintance, and convinced him to play guitar. Beaton knew Kanata native Marty Sobb, keys player and guitarist, and then Metcalfe’s Mark Laforest answered the band’s ads for a bassist. But it’s Francisco who sparks the band’s creativity, since most
of the lyrics written by him are inspired by his mother’s death. “He’s a campfire type guy with an acoustic guitar and a melody,” Beaton said. “The majority of the stuff, he comes to with an acoustic and the band gets to put its touches on it. We like to think it’s a team effort but the idea spawns from Shaun putting the original idea together.” Beaton describes the group’s music as “Canadiana-style rock,” drawing from artists like Tom Petty, Matt Mays, and Kings of Leon for inspiration. But the band said it is open to change and wants to use big shows like Bluesfest and North By Northeast in Toronto on June 18 to round out its sound. The hope is to hit the recording studio in at the end of the summer so that a full-length album will be released next spring. “We’re pretty big on the whole thought that you only get one chance to make a first impression with an album,” Hogg said. “So the first full-length album will come out under the guidance of our management team and it’ll be something we put a lot of time and effort into.”

Your neighbourhood could be getting its very own Rink of Dreams. An outdoor refrigerated rink at city hall planned for next winter is causing a stir, but the Ottawa Senators Foundation has bigger plans to create a series of similar rinks across the city and region. Danielle Robinson, president of the Sens foundation, said the NHL-sized rinks would have permanent boards and concrete platforms that would be used as basketball courts in the summer; however, they won’t be refrigerated or maintained by ice-resurfacers like the Rink of Dreams at city
hall. It’s part of the foundation’s new focus on providing access to social and recreational activities for kids outside school hours, she said. “Those kids in those neighbourhoods, they really don’t have a lot of additional funding within their families to get out and participate in sport and reaction opportunities,” Robinson said. “The idea around this is to provide a facility and the resources to make it much more accessible.” Locations for the rinks haven’t been decided, but Jim Durrell from the Sens foundation said the group is looking at putting the first rink somewhere in Vanier. If that rink is built this fall, it will serve as
Nepean conservancy group gives nature a helping hand Trillium Foundation grants $100,000 for protection of rare land form JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
A group of Nepean-based conservationists are giving nature a helping hand. Ottawa Greenbelt Sand Dune Conservation — an offshoot of Tropical Conservancy —has received a $100,000 grant ($50,000 over two years) from the Ontario Trillium Foundation to support their efforts in reclaiming the habitat of the shrinking sand dunes in the forest behind Slack Road. Stephen Aitken, who is coordinating the project with Tropical Conservancy, said the dune is the last one of its kind in the city — and one of a rare few in the province. “Sand dunes are more associated with beach areas, but inland dunes are very rare,” he said, adding that the area is a couple of football fields long as well as wide. The danger is the surrounding forested area has begun to encroach on the dunes with trees and other invasive species moving in. With the help of volunteers from the Merivale Gardens Community Association and the students at Merivale High School, Aitken said he hopes they can re-establish the area by remov-
ing the trees and plants and then returning them to the forested area. “We had some kids come and help pull some poplar balsam, blackberry bushes and buckthorn shrub,” he said, adding that younger kids from the community were sifting through sand to remove the organic matter. The group is working with satellite images of the area that are 75 years old, Aitken said it is helping them to see what damage has been done. The dunes were formed by movement of the ice, during the last ice age, which started to recede approximately 10,000 years ago. Over the past 60 to 70 years in eastern Ontario, the dunes have declined to only one per cent of their natural coverage. This is a concern because they are home to as many as 65 regionally-rare species of plants and animals. One such animal is the ghost tiger beetle — a 12-centimetrelong insect the same colour of the fine-grained sand whose only home in Ottawa is the dunes on Slack Road. If that system isn’t preserved, the species will become extinct. Aitken said the NCC has been very supportive of the group’s efforts and will work to put up signage to discourage bonfires and other practices they may damage the dunes. He also said a community-level group will be set up once the twoyear grant period is completed to make sure the area is maintained. “Once we return it to its former glory, it should be pretty easy to maintain,” Aitken said.
a project for the foundation’s yet-to-be-named community rinks program, Robinson said.
“This is about improving our neighbourhoods across the city.” Steve Kanellakos The foundation is remaining tight-lipped on details about the program, including how many rinks will be set up and where, or how much the project could cost. Those details will be revealed during an of-
ficial announcement in early fall, Robinson said. Steve Kanellakos, the deputy city manager of operations, said the program will improve year-round recreational opportunities throughout the city. “It’s not just about this,” he said, referring to the showpiece outdoor rink at city hall that was approved by city council on June 8. “This is about improving our neighbourhoods across the city.” While these smaller neighbourhood rinks won’t be refrigerated, they will be an improvement over the regular outdoor rinks the city sets up, Kanellakos said. “It will be a much more enhanced experienced,” Kanellakos said.
The city currently has about 300 temporary outdoor rinks, and Robinson said some of the new rinks the foundation sets up could replace some of the more rundown ones that already exist. There could also be new rinks in areas that don’t already have one, she said. The cost to build and set up the rinks would be absorbed by the Sens foundation through its fundraising efforts for the Rink of Dreams program. Maintenance and operations for the rinks would be done through the city’s existing rinks program, which offers grants to community groups to take on the task of maintaining the rinks using volunteer labour.

Flamingos flock for good cause JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
A flock of flamingos is mysteriously migrating around the city. As a fundraiser for the annual Hike for Hospice — a national fundraiser that benefits many local palliative-care organizations — Bayshore Home Health nurse Cathy Downs has been busily setting up flamingos on the lawns of unsuspecting residents. Downs said the branch of Bayshore Home Health in Ottawa supports the Hospice at May Court. People can call the office and request their friends’ or family’s yard be “flocked” for a fee. Last year, Downs said her branch office raised $6,500 for the Hike for Hospice and this year they hope to hit the $10,000 mark — culminating with a fall fair at Bells Corners United Church Sept. 16. As a visit nurse, Downs said she does a lot of endof-life care and it would be wonderful to have more hospice beds for people facing their final journey. “The wait lists are usually short, but it can seem like an eternity for a family that’s waiting,” she said. “We do get attached because we are not just there for the patient, we are often there for the family,” she said. “We are right there in the home so it is really personal. We have a lot of palliative physicians in the city available later, but in areas like Manotick, Greely and Metcalfe, there isn’t anyone and everything always seems to happen at 8 p.m. on a Friday,” Downs said. To order flamingos, call 613-733-4408 and reception will put people through to Downs.
Barrhaven woman runs for awareness Over $16,000 raised at Ottawa Race Weekend DANIEL NUGENT-BOWMAN daniel.bowman@metroland.com
A Barrhaven woman has raised over $16,000 for Tuberous Sclerosis Canada at the Ottawa Race Weekend after running a five-kilometre race in support of her daughter who has the rare disease. Jennifer Flinn, 34, spearheaded the fundraiser and decided to run in her first-ever race after a friend raised a couple hundred dollars at last year’s event. Because she had signed up to be a charity sponsor and had an information tent at the race’s fitness expo, Flinn hoped to earn about $3,000 in donations for the organization. But thanks to the work of many family members and friends who participated in each of the weekend’s events, she raised over five times the amount she had expected. “It just seemed like a great opportunity to raise some funds and raise some awareness and also to give the families with TSC the chance to participate in something,” Flinn said. “I was really happy with how it came together. I was amazed because I think we had 45 people run and walk in the various events.” While she admits she didn’t “didn’t break any speed records,” the means

Jennifer Flinn (right) raised $16,000 for tuberous sclerosis at this year’s Ottawa Race Weekend. in this case were greater than the ends. Flinn said the proceeds will be donated to Tuberous Sclerosis Canada to be used for research purposes and to update their newsletter and maintain their website –www.tscanada.ca. It’s an organization she knows all too well. Flinn became involved with Tuberous Sclerosis Canada shortly after her daughter, Katie, 5, was born. It was during a routine ultra sound while she was pregnant with Katie in 2006 that doctors noticed tumours in
the unborn child’s heart. Katie was diagnosed with tuberous sclerosis complex — a rare genetic disorder that causes non-malignant growths in most vital organs. It can also sometimes lead to seizures, developmental delays and other diseases. In addition to helping Katie cope with the disease, Flinn said the toughest part of is keeping up to date with the countless appointments that she and her husband Jasson must schedule. “You really have to be on top of the different organ systems and get all of the follow-up appointments,” Flinn said, noting that Katie’s kidneys must be checked twice a year. “Because it’s a rare disease… there’s nobody that really acts as your care co-ordinator. So that ends up falling to the parent.” After getting involved and learning more about the disease, Flinn discovered that it was actually more common that she’d realized. Flinn said it’s more common than cystic fibrosis, nearly as common as Lou Gehrig’s disease. Thanks to the money she raised at the Ottawa Race Weekend, Flinn hopes others will learn more about the disease too. “I think one of the biggest things we need to do with TSC is raise some public awareness about it,” she said.

Cancer care is something that everyone worries about. It affects all of us in one way or another. It’s rare to find someone who hasn’t had a family member or close friend, or even themselves, diagnosed with some form of cancer these days. This is one of the many reasons to create a place where cancer survivors and their loved ones can relax in a time of such stress. In 2008, The Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation (ORCF) conducted a survey to asses how to better help with the needs of cancer patients. A total of 596 people participated (562 cancer patients/survivors and 34 care professionals) and an average of 80 per cent indicated that they needed at least one or more of the following: • More understanding of the information out there and what to expect; • Finding people to talk to and support programs; • Coping with worry and stress and the side effects of the disease and the treatment; and, • Finding more post-treatment care. The findings of this survey led to the beginning of the Cancer Survivorship Center. The ORCF hopes to move in, unofficially, by the end of this month, just over a year after breaking ground. Everything seems to be well in place and on time for the official public opening of the center in October 2011. “The Survivorship Center is designed to be a place where survivors can come and kick

Linda Eagan, President and CEO of the Ottawa Region Cancer Foundation, stands in front of her latest project to help make a difference in the lives of cancer survivors. The Maplesoft Center: a Center for Cancer Survivorship will officially open its doors to the public in October 2011. off their shoes and just relax for once,” said Shannon Bain, vice president of communication and marketing for the ORCF. “The colours are meant to be soothing and calming. It’s meant to feel more like a home.” The brainchild of ORCF’s president and CEO, Linda Eagan, has been years in the making, even before the survey took place. The official name of the center is the Maplesoft Center a Center for Cancer Survivors in honour of the $1.8 million donation from the Maplesoft Group. The center will house new programs designed to help at every stage of cancer care, from wait-
ing for a diagnosis until posttreatment. Although the facility itself has yet to be completed, many pilot programs that are to be held at the new center are already under way at the ORCF’s Carling Avenue office. “Research has played a huge role of fundraising priority,” said Eagan. “About four or five years ago, the board redesigned its philosophy and we wanted to become an advocate and a voice for survivors. We are just now starting to invest in the individual through the survivorship center. “The goal is to help the individuals sift through all the infor-
mation and knowledge that they have to absorb in a time of such crisis and high levels of stress through coaching. We want to help provide another avenue to ask questions and develop action plans (for their future).” The center will focus on three different approaches to helping survivors overcome their obstacles: one-to-one care, selfcare, and supportive care. Each approach is meant to help survivors create tailor-designed care programs and will be offered free of charge and without a medical referral. “The cancer center’s priority is to eradicate cancer and to
provide support and help the individuals address their needs,” said Eagan. “It’s a place for the community, by the community. Survivors are more than just body parts and tumours, they are a whole being and we want to help them in all aspects of their survivorship.” The people and their loved ones who will be using the programs, such as the ‘Body, Mind and Sprit’ program designed to help with holistic coping and healing methods and the ‘Wonders and Worries’ program meant to help concerns of the impact of cancer on children and teens are called “survivors” for a reason. “People are called survivors because they are survivors from the moment they get diagnosed. Whether it’s surviving treatment, their daughter’s graduation, their son’s wedding… from the moment they are diagnosed, they are surviving the disease,” said Bain. The first of its kind in Canada, Eagan hopes to have the center and its programs evolve considerably over time through more research and learning from the members who will use the facility. She also hopes to create a hub of expertise through partnerships with different cancer organizations such as the Ottawa Hospital Cancer Center, the Royal Ottawa Hospital, CHEO. “We hope to build a body of knowledge to help enhance care for cancer survivors and create a magnet to foster a collaboration or synergy with the 30 plus cancer organization in Ottawa,” said Eagan. “I know this will go beyond Ottawa and change the cancer experience forever, I have no doubt.”
‘Cooking with Carefor’ book on sale TARA SHAPRANSKY tara.shapransky@metroland.com
Cooking is something that brings back a lot of memories for lots of people. It’s a time shared with loved ones and a time when care and thought is put into having fun with those around you. This is one of the many reason a cookbook was the perfect fundraiser for Carefor Health and Community Services. Carefor is a not-for-profit agency in Eastern Ontario that helps provides home health care and services to the community at large in Ottawa, Pembroke and Cornwall. It’s meant to help both the clients and their caregivers. Staffed by nurses and personal care assistants, Carefor’s mission is to keep people in their homes as long as possible.
Fundraising is always a priority for many agencies and the Carefor team had been looking into different ways to raise money and they went with this idea, according to Delphine Hasle, marketing and fFundraising specialist for Carefor. “It’s the first year we are doing a cookbook fundraiser,” said Hasle. “It was very well received and we are hoping to do a second edition by next year.” As of today, approximately 300 of the 500 cookbooks printed have been sold. With more than 200 recipes of all kinds, it’s no surprise it’s doing so well. “We made a call out to the city and some staff, clients, and even families of clients who don’t live in the city (and they) were happy to provide family recipes for the book,” said Hasle. The cookbook price is a $25
donation that gives the recipient the book and a tax receipt for $20. It’s clear, however, that many people have been donating more than the minimum amount. “Our goal was to raise $1, 000 by the end of it and as of today we have raise $4, 400,” said Hasle. “People have given more than the $25 donation. We are actually quite pleased.” The book was made possible by a team of dedicated volunteers who collected the recipes and put together the book itself, leaving Carefor to only cover the costs of printing. The cookbook started selling in December 2010 and will remain available until they are sold out. For further information or to purchase a book, call 613-749-7557 ext. 2180 and ask to speak with Kelly.

15 Barrhaven Ottawa South This Week - JUNE 16 2011
Drawing from her friend’s courage, Badenoch said she learned a lot during her treatment, which included two surgeries and a course of radiation at The Ottawa Hospital Cancer Centre. “I learned that I am defined as far more than a breast,” said Badenoch, who had a lumpectomy. “You can curl up in a corner, or you can keep living. I chose to keep living.” After her experience, Badenoch decided she wanted to give back. So when the Nepean resident, who also teaches aerobics in Barrhaven, learned about Ride the Rideau – a 100 km Ottawa to Merrickville cycling fundraiser in support of cancer research at The Ottawa Hospital – she was immediately interested. An avid cyclist who currently puts in 40 km as many as three times a week, Badenoch crossed the finish line with two friends, and raised $2,500 last year. The event raised $940,000 in its inaugural year. Cancer survivor Carol Badenoch is taking part in Ride the Rideau for the second year.
THE OTTAWA HOSPITAL FOUNDATION Ten years ago, Carol Badenoch’s good friend underwent a full mastectomy after being diagnosed with breast cancer. “She didn’t change,” Badenoch said. “She was still the same wonderful person. She accepted that it was part of her life and moved on.”

CELEBRATION C&N Electric co-owners Ron and Charlie Sadler celebrate the company’s 50th anniversary outside their store along Manotick Main Street on June 3. The brothers bought the electrical and pumping company on Dec. 1, 1994 and have owned the store in Manotick ever since.
When Badenoch herself was diagnosed with breast cancer a year later in 2002, she was shocked – the retired physical education teacher and nutritionist had always been healthy – but thanks to her friend’s outlook, she learned to approach her illness with courage and hope.
On Sept. 10, Badenoch is back with her team, Dharma Group. She hopes to raise another $2,000 for The Ottawa Hospital this year. “I’m pretty big on giving back,” she said. “I’m fortunate to be in a position where I have time and I’m healthy. I want people to know that even after a cancer diagnosis, life does move forward.” A fundraiser in support of Badenoch’s ride is being held from 7 to 10 p.m. on Tuesday, June 21 at Greenfield’s Pub at 900 Greenbank Rd in Barrhaven. There will be prize draws and live entertainment. To support Carol Badenoch’s ride, sign up, or volunteer, visit www.ridetherideau.ca.
“I was totally stunned when they said I had cancer,” remembered Badenoch, now 62. “There was no indication that anything was wrong.”
