Old time fun

There was a mad scramble as kids at the Old Time Nepean Fun Fair made their way out from under a parachute, and in the centre of it was Evan Mundinger, 3, from Nepean. From wheelbarrow races to sack races, inflatables and pony rides the event featured many activities for kids and families.

After 2017 has come and gone, groves of maple trees planted across the city will mark the 150th anniversary of Canada. At a tree-planting ceremony on June 4, Mayor Jim Watson announced the initiative that includes planting 150 native maple trees in each of the city’s 23 wards, saying it will serve as a living legacy. The initiative was a promise Watson made during the last election. “What better symbol than the maple leaf to mark the milestone in our country’s history. Whether it’s on the flag, the passport or your knapsack the maple leaf is an iconic symbol of our nation and makes us uniquely proud to be Canadian wherever we find ourselves in the world,” he said during his remarks.

The city, CN, Tree Canada, the federal government and Lee Valley funded the project. Tree Canada was given $775,000 through the Canada 150 fund to complete 150 community greening initiatives across the country. The first groves were planted this May. On June 5, the community came together in Alta Vista to commemorate the planting. “In addition to being symbolic of Canada’s 150th anniversary, these trees will benefit our residents

environment. “We are proud to support Tree Canada and its tree planting initiatives in communities in every one of our provinces and territories, and we know the quality of life in our urban areas is a key determining factor of our economic success going forward,” he said. The trees include three native maple trees — sugar, red and silver and are about 1.5 to 2 metres tall unless smaller trees would be more appropriate for the site. A commemorative stone will also mark the location of each of the groves. The announcement coincided with the Federation of Canadian Municipalities national convention and several delegates attended. For the past several years, a tree has been planted at each of FCM meeting, part of a legacy program with Tree Canada. “In historic moment like this all of us are driven to think of the legacy we are leaving behind, so let this tree stand as a profound commitment that municipal leaders and our partners have to strengthen our communities,” said Jenny Gerbasi, first vice-president of the federation. Grove locations:

• Orléans’ Fallingbrook Park • Innes’ Just Foods Site on Pepin Court • Greenspace along Strandherd Drive in Barrhaven • Kanata North’s Ernest Smith Park • West Carleton’s Diefenbunker facility grounds • Stittsville’s Pathway Link on Beverly Street • Wesley Clover Parks in Bay ward • Queensway Carleton Hospital

If you are looking for a onestop shop to find out how to entertain visitors this summer for Canada’s 150th, now there is a tool kit for that. A group of individuals who have been gathering at the Sunnyside branch library in Old Ottawa South over the past few months first developed a list of 150 ideas and activities to celebrate Canada’s sesquicentennial. That list became available earlier this year at canada150cafe.wordpress.com. The goal was to get all of Ottawa in on the conversation and party. “We are hoping to see smallscale community action,” said one of the participants, Gail Stewart. “In 1967, there were a lot of ordinary people do-

Now, Stewart said the group has developed a tool kit, which is also available online. “It’s a free kit for hosting guests,” Stewart said. “We thought it would be nice for the visitors, and a lot of families will be hosting friends and families this summer.” All the things in the kit are ideas of places to go or things to see, many of them free or not too expensive, with ideas

Expansions, renovations for eight schools – provincial funds announced By Melissa Murray mmurray@metroland.com

Eight local schools will receive money from the province to help revitalize them as they accommodate new students in the fall. Education Minister Mitzie Hunter was joined by Ottawa West-Nepean MPP Bob Chiarelli on June 12 at Agincourt Road Public School as Hunter announced $18.3 million for Ottawa schools for renovations to three schools and the expansion of another five. The money will go toward additions to Agincourt Public School, Sir Robert Borden High School and Merivale High School, and renovations to Woodroffe Avenue Public School, Pinecrest Public School, Bell High School, Briargreen Public School and Gloucester High School. Last year the board undertook two accommodations reviews. The western area review included a look at 26 schools, including four high schools. At the end of the process, the board decided to close D. Aubrey Moodie Intermediate

Education Minister Mitzie Hunter counts objects with students at Agincourt Road Public School before announcing $18.3 million for Ottawa schools for renovations to three schools and the expansion of another five on June 12. School, Greenbank Middle School, Leslie Park Public School, Grant Alternative

School and Century Public School. A sixth school, J.H. Putman, would close after the

opening of a new intermediate wing at Agincourt Road Public School. High schools in the review will now accommodate grades 7 to 12 and an international baccalaureate program for west-end students will begin at Merivale High School this fall. The eastern secondary review looked at Colonel By, Gloucester and Rideau high schools. In the end, the board voted to close Rideau, and students will be redirected to Gloucester this fall. The schools receiving students from the closures will receive provincial funds for the renovations and expansions. “It’s very exciting news,” said board chair Shirley Seward in an interview following the announcement. “We went through two very challenging and comprehensive accommodation reviews and this means even better learning spaces for our students.” The addition at Agincourt will accommodate about 300 students. Seward said the project should take 18 months to two years. “We’re really pleased this money is coming so soon after

paying off.” According to a news release, the money will help provide students with more modern facilities and help Ottawa’s public school board reduce the cost of underused space. “By building the best possible learning environments for our students, we are laying the groundwork for their future success. These school infrastructure projects will support the well-being and achievement of students across the province for years to come,” said Hunter in a news release.

the reviews.” Work done at other schools includes additions like increasing gym space, she said. Some of the smaller projects will get underway this summer and could be finished by the time students come back to school this fall. “We do the accommodation reviews for learning reasons and financial reasons; this announcement starts a good precedent to show that investments will be made after successful reviews,” Seward said. “It’s a very good sign that our hard work is

Larger crowds, Royal Family call for heavy security on Canada Day at a concert in Manchester, and then, just days ago, when seven people were killed and almost 50 injured on London Bridge and Borough Market. “You begin to think, can that happen here? And sadly, the answer is yes. We are a G7 capital, but I have great confidence in our police to provide the necessary mechanisms to ensure the safety of our residents and visitors.”

By Melissa Murray mmurray@metroland.com

There will be a heavier police presence in Ottawa for Canada Day. “Naturally, there will be a much heightened level of police preference,” Mayor Jim Watson said of this year’s celebrations. “We have been planning 2017 for a couple of years at the municipal level and we will have a very, very strong security presence here to ensure people are safe as visitors and as residents.” He cited a few reasons for the increased security: recent terrorism around the world, the presence of the Royal Family, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the Governor General, as well as larger crowds. Watson talked security on June 4, following recent attacks in the United Kingdom — first with 22 killed and more than 100 injured

ramped up

Last year, in response to a Christmas market attack in Berlin, security was ramped up for New Year’s Eve celebrations. Dump trucks and front-end loaders were used to block off cross streets and protect the schoolchildren that participated as torchbearers during the celebration. The heavy machinery acted as a barricade. “It’s always a wake-up call for us in roles of leadership

that we have to be vigilant in the world we live in that a simple knife and a motor vehicle can be the new weapon of choice of a terrorist or someone who wants to cause harm to people in a community. “We live in, regrettably, times in the world where there are evil acts taking place, and we have to be vigilant and we have to rely on the police and the public if they see something that they feel is suspicious.” But Watson emphasized there’s no guarantee. “There’s no 100 per cent solution to terrorism. If terrorists want to come into a community, sadly, as we’ve seen in other jurisdictions around the world and we’ve seen here with the death of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, that people can do harm to other fellow citizens. So our job is to be as vigilant as possible and to ask the community for their eyes and ears because we can’t have a police officer at every corner.”

Intimidation won’t silence media

group of disgruntled city councillors in Brampton, Ont., seem to be confusing freedom of the press with freedom from the press. Angry with recent coverage by the local newspaper, some councillors are proposing a motion to scrutinize the media’s questioning of elected officials. It’s a thinly veiled attempt to intimidate reporters. The motion calls for all media inquiries to be posted on the city website along with provided responses. Further, councillors want future meeting agendas to include time to respond to media coverage. Meanwhile, at least one member of Brampton council has also taken to Twitter, suggesting the local paper isn’t providing “real news.” This is all in reaction to assertive reporting that is critical of the city’s leadership. Councillors say they have put the press on notice. Such a statement demonstrates a blatant disregard for, or ignorance of, the checks and balances already strongly entrenched in the Canadian media system. Accountability starts with the news outlet itself. Complaints can be made directly to a journalist, editor or publisher. If the response is unsatisfactory, individuals can contact the press council. The National NewsMedia Council deals

with matters concerning fairness of coverage, relevance, balance and accuracy. Its members (including this newspaper) abide by its decisions. It’s a free and open process for the public. When media make a mistake, we own it very publicly. That’s not something everyone can say. And there is the law. Canada has very strict libel laws. These laws protect the reputation of individuals and organizations from false and derogatory remarks. Media are bound by these laws. These councillors forget that media are not accountable to elected officials. Media are accountable to the public, the same group whose money these councillors are spending. Ultimately this is about control. Councillors are trying to stifle critical voices and control our free, independent and responsible media. That’s a scary development. It won’t work. Metroland is putting Brampton’s elected officials on notice: media will not be intimidated by these thinly disguised bullying tactics. EDITOR’S NOTE: This editorial has been shared by the Brampton Guardian and is running in all Metroland East newspapers.

Former U.S. embassy building should be put to good use

f you’ve lived in Ottawa for a long time, you will have a predictable reaction to reports that something will finally happen at the old U.S. Embassy on Wellington Street. About time, you will say. Indeed. That’s a beautiful building and it is a shame that it has sat empty and unused so long. By the time something is put there it will have been at least 20 years since it was last occupied. It has been neglected for so many years that you would think it was on LeBreton Flats. One of the benefits of finding a use for the former embassy is that it will bring another historical attraction to what used to be known as Confederation Boulevard, another attraction to walk to. Ottawa, as we know, has many fine museums and other structures, including the Parliament Buildings,

that the former U.S. embassy building will become a centre for indigenous peoples. That’s a good use. In a day when there is an intense and overdue focus on Canada’s indigenous peoples Funny Town and culture, it is fitting that a prominent place be given to that. The Canadian Press report on the government’s plans for the building reflecting our history and culture. They are spread out a bit — from the notes that consultations are underway with indigenous communities on War Museum in LeBreton Flats, to the Museum of History in Gatineau the best possible uses of the space.

since it is committed to indigenous culture, put up a building that reflects that on the outside as well as the inside. Something by Douglas Cardinal, say, rather than an American architect born in the 19th century. The beauty of the now-familiar portrait gallery proposal is that it doesn’t much matter what a portrait gallery looks like from the street. So the embassy site is fine for that. But the portrait gallery idea may have passed its best-before date. It has been kicking around since 2001 and nothing has been done. You can blame politics for that — the idea having been started by Jean Chrétien and ended by Stephen Harper — but it is difficult to avoid the conclusion that Canada would have a national portrait gallery by now if there had been public enthusiasm for it.

SIU investigating ByWard Market shooting By Melissa Murray mmurray@metroland.com

Two people are dead and a third sustained non-life threatening injuries following a shooting in the ByWard Market involving police. The Special Investigations Unit is now looking into the details surrounding the shooting. The civilian agency investigates incidents involving police officers, including death, serious injury or allegations of sexual assault. The SIU held a news conference in the early afternoon of June 3, which detailed the events that started around 2 a.m. that morning. Jason Gennaro, spokesperson for the SIU, said a police officer was driving near the area of Dalhousie Street and Clarence Street and around the same time, a man was shot on the west side of Dalhousie and north of Clarence. That man was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries. When the police officer tried to arrest a male suspect, the man fled. At that point, a 43-year-old man was shot; he was rushed to the hospital and later pronounced dead. The police officer followed the suspect around the corner into a parking garage east of Dalhousie off Murray Street. Inside, there was a confrontation between the officer and the

31-year-old suspect. “Several shots were fired, the man was pronounced dead on the scene,” Gennaro said, adding the police officer was not injured. “The SIU, in this particular situation, has an interest in the confrontation that occurred in the parking garage.” The parking garage was cordoned off until around noon on June 4. At that time police reopened the garage for people to remove their vehicles. In a press release, Ottawa Police Service said it had no comment on the investigation. The SIU does not have consent to release the names for either victim, but said postmortems for both men would be held on June 5. Those results are considered evidence and will not be made public. The SIU has identified one subject officer and two witness

It has also assigned 10 officers, three forensic and seven investigators, to the case. In the coming days, officers will be canvassing the area looking for surveillance footage and witnesses. It is also appealing for help

City coming through for Dragon Boat Festival with park fix-up ‘We all agree that the saturated grounds are an issue,’ councillor says BY Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Erin McCracken/McCracken

Dragon Boat Festival organizers are breathing a sigh of relief after city staff have begun to mobilize to temporarily shore up the site at the large children’s playground at Mooney’s Bay Park with sand.

With the countdown ticking away on the Ottawa Dragon Boat Festival, organizers are breathing a sigh of relief. After the landscaping of the large children’s playground at Mooney’s Bay Park was delayed last fall, festival organizers began to worry the area around the play structures would remain chewed up and muddy for the dragon boat racing and outdoor concerts, June 22 to 25.

The integrated Planning Act and Environmental Assessment Act process is being followed for the Barrhaven South Urban Expansion Area Community Design Plan, for implementation by an Official Plan Amendment (OPA). A proposed OPA to the City of Ottawa’s Official Plan will include changing the land use designation from “Urban Expansion Study Area” and “Sand and Gravel Resource Area” to “General Urban Area” on Schedules “A” and “B” for portions of the study area. Other schedules may be affected and the inclusion of a Secondary Plan may be required.

won’t become a mud bath,” Brockington said, adding the dragon boat team and exhibitor tents can also be easily staked in sand. “After the festival, they’ll put another layer of topsoil and new sod.” “I don’t think it’s ideal for anyone, including the city,” Brooman noted. “At the same time it is what we can do right now in this time frame and given what’s going on with the weather.” The work, which is expected to wrap up by June 15 before the festival setup begins June 15-16, will also include removing fencing from the site. As well, wood chip piles, which have caused water to pool, will also be cleaned up to make room for a row of exhibitor tents. The cost of the landscaping is part of the overall $2-million Canada-themed playground project, shared by television production company Sinking Ship Productions, and the City of Ottawa. The playground was constructed for the children’s television show Giver. The official grand opening of the playground is scheduled for July 1.

But city staff have begun to mobilize to temporarily shore up the site with sand. “We all agree that the saturated grounds are an issue, and it’s hard to put sod down and then have a festival on top of it because that sod will be shredded,” said River Coun. Riley Brockington, whose ward includes Mooney’s Bay Park. “And that’s $60,000 out the window.” The work was supposed to be completed last fall but the playground itself wasn’t done until November. The remediation is good news to John Brooman, president and chief executive of the Tim Hortons Ottawa Dragon Boat Festival. “I feel a lot better,” he said. “We certainly had to have some long conversations about how to figure out how this is going to play out. The city definitely came through.” Efforts to re-grade the area around the playground and add sand began on June 3. Sand is the city’s preferred temporary solution at this point because “sand

Dragon Boat Festival layout reconfigured to include play area Continued from page 10

Last year, festival organizers had to work around a central chunk of the site ahead of the construction of a large children’s playground. Once built, it ate up almost 40 per cent of the space that the festival typically sets aside for teams waiting to take their turn in the races, Brooman said. This time around, the layout of the festival site has been reconfigured to make room for the play area and incorporate it within the festivities. “It’s a really, really neat design concept,” he said. As well, permission has been secured to use a larger section of the beach for different VIP and special experiences, as well some of the teams. The concession stands will be in the vicinity of the playground, and Scotiabank has sponsored the children’s area, where the play structures are located. “We’ve integrated it within the event as best we can,”

Brooman said of the playground. “That park, we’re certainly embracing and looking forward to hosting a bunch of the kids.” FESTIVAL HIGHLIGHTS

Other festival highlights will include three evening concerts with the Sheepdogs, Dear Rouge and Half Moon Run, among several other bands. “I think it’s a pretty solid lineup for a free event,” Brooman said. The festival is so far on track with its dragon boat team registrations. About 160 have signed up, and registration is still open. Last year, the event drew 180 teams, representing about 4,500 paddlers. “We’re almost there,” the president said. Billed as North America’s largest dragon boat festival, its goal is to generate about $350,000 each year for a number of charities. A big chunk of the funds raised will again go to the Youth Services Bu-

reau as well as the Tim Hortons Children’s Foundation. Funds generated also support the Ottawa Dragon Boat Foundation Community Fund, created last year to extend the supportive reach of the nonprofit festival. In recent months, it has contributed about $5,000 to each of about a half-dozen local charities, including the Ottawa Boys and Girls Club and the Ottawa YMCA. “The fund is allowing us to — in addition to the larger amounts that are going out to the charities — give out smaller amounts to many more local charities,” Brooman said. “It’s been fantastic. It’s really, really working out well.” For a full festival schedule, visit dragonboat.net.

BY THE NUMBERS • 70,000: festivalgoers • 180: participating teams • 4,500: paddlers.

Dragon boats arrive at the Mooney’s Bay Park boat launch on May 31.

Adventures in language training T BRYNNA

wenty years ago, I lived in Jonquiere, Que. for five weeks. I was coming off the end of my first year of university, where I had taken a debutant (beginner) oral French course. “Tu manges?” the wiry, old French professor would ask. “Oui, je mange,” I would respond diligently. “Tu fumes?” “Non, je ne fume pas.” “Ou est la bibliotheque?” “Repetez, s’il vous plait.” It went on like this for two hours, twice weekly, for four months. At the end of my time, I felt I needed to take my French to the next level. So, I applied for a federal bursary and off I went on a great adventure to be immersed in rural Quebec culture for five weeks. It was difficult to study a language. We had fulltime classes at the local CEGEP, evening activities, and weekend cultural excursions. We were forbidden to speak English. I lived with a local family, in which the two young children laughed

posters all over my basement office with new words related to economic growth and social development. I unloaded hundreds of dollars at the local librairie on grammar workbooks and listening exercises. Within seven days, I went from an intermediate French speaker and reader to highly advanced (at least for the moment in time in which I took the tests). But I flunked dren speak French constantly the written portion.

word, thinking we’d invented a language that our parents couldn’t comprehend. In the past, the failure may have been a discouragement. But, buoyed by my stunning success with oral French and comprehension, it’s actually

only made me more determined. I know from experience that writing is one of the most difficult tasks for humans. It requires not only a complex familiarity with the rules of language, but also a lot of practice. The only way to achieve an advanced level is to study and play with words and apply the knowledge to achieve success, and, every once in a while, failure. I’m determined to persist. Studying French is difficult and frustrating at times, but it’s also fun. It’s opened up an entirely new world of humour and nuance that has flown under my radar for years. And, at the end of the day, as I stretch my vocabulary and play with the written word in French, it’s my hope to apply that in English. I find myself rediscovering words in English, like “cumbersome”, “banal”, “manifest”, and even “hope.” We Anglophones like to complain heartily about the restrictions of bilingualism, particularly in Ottawa. But, if we open ourselves up to it (and get past those study-induced migraines), learning another language can be one of the most enriching and rewarding experiences of our lives.

The future western end of light rail is also subject to change. A consultant at the meeting said the Canadian Tire Centre is a major destination for travellers today, but that could change when the Ottawa Senators make an expected move to LeBreton Flats in the years ahead. “There’s certainly a big question mark about the Canadian Tire Centre,” said Parsons Inc. consultant Peter Steacy By the end of 2017, city staff will compile public input and consider if Palladium Drive should be the western terminus. Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley said the direct route for rail from Moodie to Kanata makes the most sense. “Clearly the best route is straight up the hill,” he said of the potential to run rail along the northern edge of Highway 417. He said he’d like to see light rail serve both Kanata residents headed downtown and people headed to the north Kanata business parks, an option that would likely require a branch to the north.

Staff and consultants have looked at 13 potential lines, and used an open house on June 5 to explain why three of those routes are preferred. The three are: • the most direct: running just north of Highway 417 to Palladium. • a northern route: from the Eagleson park-and-ride area, north along March Road before turning west and south to follow Terry Fox Drive to Palladium. • a southern route: south on Moodie, then southwest along the old rail bed that is now part of the Trans-Canada Trail. The line would pass Bridlewood and Glen Cairn, then leave the trail near Fernbank and Iber roads, and then head north to Palladium. Staff at the open house said branch lines are a possibility — allowing more than one of the three options to be constructed — although that would significantly increase costs while reducing frequency of service.

FLOOR PLAN June 2017

Now that the time has come to purchase a new home, you want to make sure you get it exactly right. This is, after all, the most important investment you’ll likely ever make. While there is a wide variety of housing choices on the market in Ottawa these days, it is difficult to decide how to get started. There are so many components in your plan to consider: do you want to live in the city, the suburbs or maybe in a more rural setting? Of course the financial considerations are key. How much are you able to put down on that dream home and what size of mortgage can you handle? And what type of home are you looking for, a large single family dwelling with plenty of greenspace or a townhome that might require a little less maintenance? Perhaps you’re approaching your retirement years and looking to be closer to family. The multi-generational option is playing a growing role in the market these days. So many of Canada’s top home builders call the national capital region home, offering an array of housing styles. And Metroland Media brings you closer to these award-winning builders through our monthly feature, Floor Plan 2017. Doing your homework is key to purchasing a new home. We’re pleased to provide this special section to help make that process just a little easier. And look for more ideas in our next supplement inside your Metroland newspaper Thursday, Aug. 24.

2 Floor Plan - Thursday, June 15, 2017

Are you ready to become a HOMEOWNER? Congratulations! You’ve decided to buy a house. Owning a home is something to be proud of, but be careful. Are you really ready to be a homeowner? There’s a huge diﬀerence between the dream and reality. To become a homeowner, you’ll have to make a down payment of between 5 and 20 per cent of the property’s price. And that’s not all; you also need to estimate any additional costs associated with the purchase, such as a home inspection, notary or lawyer fees and legal expenses for the transfer of ownership. Generally, you should expect to pay about three per cent of the purchase price for these additional expenses. Don’t forget to add in the property taxes and home insurance as well. You’ll also have to take into account the costs of moving, renovations, utility connections (electricity, cable, Internet, etc.) and any maintenance. In other words, it’s important to evaluate your ability to pay before buying. Your current debt load will be a determining factor, so do your calculations carefully. Tip: before you start looking for your dream home, make an appointment with

your ﬁnancial institution to ﬁnd out what level of mortgage loan they would give you. Of course, you don’t have to do this, but it can help you target properties in the price range

you can aﬀord. Lastly, don’t forget that even though home ownership is a great way to build capital, you’ll have to ﬁnd the time, energy and

money to take care of your home’s maintenance and repair work. If you’d prefer to use your savings and free time to see the world, you’d better think twice before signing.

Merger creates innovative POWERHOUSE in Ottawa’s residential condo management scene Dan Fried, owner of Capital Concierge and Yawar Khan, CEO of Integral Property Management, announce the merger of their two companies and the creation of Capital Integral Property Management June 1.

The new company manages over 72 million square feet of residential condos in the

National Capital Region with a value of about $835 million. The new company will continue to offer a “personal touch” to its clients while bolstering its offering in key areas Information technology; Financial oversight services; and Troubleshooting. Existing clients will immediately start seeing benefits of the merger while the transition is occurring. The new company will continue to offer quick, effective and knowledgeable services to its clients. Prospective clients will see Capital Integral as being one of the largest providers of residential condo property management services with a focus on innovation and technology.

“We created Capital Integral through this merger in order to strengthen the services oﬀered to our existing clients and attract new clients,” said Fried, the CEO of the new company. The new company employs 24 people in the National Capital Region and the combined companies have seen an annual growth rate of 31 per cent over the last ﬁve years. Together, senior management of the new company has attended over 2,300 board meetings and 500 annual general meetings of condo corporations. Capital Integral is also the only carbon neutral property management company in Canada, making a commitment to its clients, the community and future generations.

Strandherd Meadows

is an easy commute to exceptional living Bordered by the Greenbelt, Rideau River, Jock River and Highway 416, Barrhaven is south Ottawa’s most progressive community. With easy access to schools, parks, local transit and a variety of big-box stores and small shops, Barrhaven is a prime location. Standherd Meadows is one of Barrhaven’s most sough-after neighbourhoods. Phoenix Homes, Ottawa’s most reputable and affordable builder, is now offering 19 exclusive single lots in Strandherd Meadows. To be built on wide 50 foot lots, the new homes in Strandherd Meadows will be a mix of twostorey and bungalows, all featuring views of parkland across the street. “These homes will be on a single-sided street, meaning there will be no homes across from them,” explains Phoenix Homes Vice-President Rahul Kochar. “Instead, there will be a park in front of these homes.” All Phoenix Homes offer the latest in ergonomic design, innovation and elegance. Buyers in Strandherd Meadows will be able to choose from any of 12 bungalow designs ranging from 1,034 sq. ft. up to 2,515 sq. ft. or 14 two-storey single family homes ranging in size from 1,548 sq. ft. to 3,945 sq. ft. “As the neighbourhood is already built up, buyers of the last 19 lots will not have to deal with very much new construction around them.” Register online today at www.Phoenixhomes.ca to secure one of the remaining lots and then plan to move into your new home next summer! “Our single-family homes combine beautifully crafted designs with exceptionally functional layouts, offering you convenience and charm in one perfect home.” Phoenix Homes builds the highest quality, energy efficient and environmentally friendly, best value homes available. All homes are built to exacting standards, functional and comfortable, no matter what price. “We have made it a point to ensure that we are the best value in any area, compared to competition. Generally speaking, we are one step ahead of the competition – quality finishing, bonuses, and upgrades. When you do the math, you will always find that we’re ahead.” Just one of the many outstanding designs in a twostorey home, the Winchester is a home designed with family in mind. The double garage has access directly to the spacious mudroom with large closet, laundry room and powder room. The main floor is perfect for entertaining with a gourmet kitchen including a large island with seating for three opening into both the great room and living/dining room. The second floor can be made to suit any family – with 3, 4, and 5 bedroom options. The master suite, in any plan chosen, is luxurious with a large walk-in closet (the 4 bed option has his and hers walk-ins) and four-piece ensuite. Similarly, the Rutherford has been designed to provide all the benefits of a large home in a smaller package. The Rutherford has five exciting elevations available in configurations of 2,525 - 2,748 sq./ft. with four or five bedrooms, and four full washrooms on the second floor. Buyers can choose either an enclosed den or opt to increase the size of the kitchen to suit the most discerning chef. The four-bedroom option offers striking elegance with a two-storey family room. A two-sided fireplace helps to separate the family room and dinette while keeping the space open concept. The Rutherford second floor features a laundry, one Jack & Jill washroom, and two ensuites. Accessibility is no problem at Phoenix Homes, which offer custom entrances, wider doorways and halls, and appealing add-ons at ever turn. “We offer the best value anywhere. We invite people to shop and compare. We’ll always have something the others don’t.” Looking for a home that is designed for multi-

generational living? The Newington is all about innovation in design, comfort and functionality. “This home satisfies the demand for homes where family members of all generations stay in the same home. You can easily have three generations living comfortably under one roof.” The well-thought out floorplans and countless options save the hassle of trying to make an-in-law suite that compromises the house. “The Newington is purpose built for multi-generational living, from the ground up.” With a common entrance and shared space for family

interaction, the Newington provides ample opportunity for family gatherings while maintaining independence and privacy for individual interests. In keeping with the growing demand for natural products, Phoenix Homes has had its own operations to supply hardwood and granite since 2005. State-of-the-art CNC cutting machines for fabrication ensure the company’s granite and quartz are of the highest quality. Come home to a parkland setting nestled in the heart of Barrhaven. Register now for the remaining 19 lots in Strandherd Meadows. Go to www.phoenixhomes.ca or call 613-723-9227.

Buying from a Plan? Proceed carefully when buying a property from a plan Has a residential property development project caught your eye, and you’d love to buy one of the models? Everything seems right: the location, surroundings, materials, size of rooms and price. But be cautious about signing a pre-purchase contract based on a plan. You need to check a lot of details before buying a property that you’ve never laid eyes on. Your first step is to ask about the developer, builder and architect. Do they have good reputations? How many years have they been in business? Are they accredited by a recognized association? Check their permits and licences and don’t hesitate to ask for references from previous clients. Go to city hall to find out about other projects that are planned for the area where you want to live. Will there eventually be a park? A bigger road? Rental properties? Industrial buildings? Don’t rely exclusively on everything you’re told while visiting the show home. Do you feel pressured to sign quickly? Never sign a preliminary contract before your notary or lawyer has checked it out first. As a final precaution you can hire your own specialists to inspect your house or condo du ring every stage of the building process. They can check the quality of the soil, the excavation, foundations, framing and insulation, to name just a few things worth keeping tabs on.

Garden-insPired decor brightens spaces and mood Many homeowners take up gardening to transform their homes with beautiful flowers and foliage, while others do so to yield fresh fruits and vegetables. But gardening can be more than just a weekend hobby. In fact, it may be especially beneficial for homeowners to surround themselves with more plants and natural decor, whether in the yard or in the home. Studies have indicated that gardening can be good for the mind and body. In addition to improving mood and reducing stress, plant life and gardening also may help people have a more hopeful outlook on life. If reaping the benefit of a beautiful landscape is not reason enough to get into gardening, elevating your mood and coping with depression or illness may be even further motivation to start developing your green thumb.

Living wall planters A living wall planter can add greenery to any décor without taking up floor or table space. Ideal for outdoor structures, these planters also can be used indoors if you safeguard against leaks and dripping. A living wall planter is a framed device that houses plants in a manner that enables them to be vertically mounted to a wall surface. While

there are commercially available models, you can create your own design and paint or stain it to match the existing décor. Use a soil free potting substrate to avoid the mess that regular soil may create.

Combining fish with gardening Enjoy the best of two relaxing worlds by installing a water feature in your yard. Garden retailers offer readymade kits that can make fast work of establishing a pond or other water feature in the backyard. Otherwise, there are plenty of water garden companies and installers who can suggest a design and put in your desired water features. Add fish suitable for outdoor life to your pond. These include koi and certain goldfish varieties. Game fish are discouraged because they can destroy pond plants. If an outdoor pond is more maintenance than you desire, consider an indoor aquarium with a combination of fish and live aquarium plants.

Creative furniture designs Maybe you’re a person who appreciates the unique and whimsical? Tables, benches and chairs can be built with planting channels that enable you to have greenery and garden décor in one piece. Envision a picnic table with a cutout down the center for a thin row of plants or decorative grasses. This is a project the entire family can get behind, as the more creative ideas the better.

Talos Homes feature exceptional quality, value, and workmanship. With the same attention to detail and pride of craftsmanship on which he insisted, Talos Homes today caters to discerning home buyers looking for homes with interiors as exquisitely finished as the exteriors. Talos President David Toscano continues the Toscano family tradition of using only the finest quality materials and workmanship by personally overseeing all aspects of building each home.

Redblacks working on opportunity to defend title at home by jake davies

jake.davies@metroland.com

Back-to-back Grey Cup appearances is a pretty impressive record for a CFL team with only three completed seasons. Winning a ring in one of those games is even more impressive. Now the Ottawa Redblacks have the opportunity to do something incredibly rare in the league – defend their title on their home turf. This year the Redblacks host the Grey Cup game at TD Place and are currently hard at work, getting this year’s squad ready for that test – but that is not the team’s focus. “It’s just about getting better, from one year to the next, one week to the next,” general manager Marcel Desjardins told Metroland Media. “We’re just trying to find the right pieces to make us better in terms of the players and then what we can do away from the personnel side of things to make our environment better.” The Redblacks are right in the middle of training camp having played their first pre-season game June 8 - a 30-29 win over Hamilton. Camp ends a week later with their final preseason game in Montreal on June 15. Desjardins, coach Rick Camp-

bell, wide receiver Brad Sinopoli and defensive lineman Ettore Lattanzio spoke with Metroland Media following training camp Day 5’s practice to talk about the upcoming season. “We’re working, which is good – we’re working hard and getting better at stuff,” Coach Campbell said. “I think the whole key is to keep getting better every day. I’d say, so far so good. But we can’t be content. I always give the guys the speech, when you walk out the door at night, make sure that you walk out better than when you came in. If guys keep that attitude and keep working at it,

With Henry Burris’s retirment, quarterback Trevor Harris will lead the Redblacks in 2017.

we’ll be competitive.” The front office is working at getting better too, which is a tall task when you’ve lost three-time Grey Cup champion, two-time CFL Most Outstanding Player and future hall of fame quarterback Henry Burris. But one thing the Redblacks has done well in its brief history, is make sure the most important position in football has been well staffed. Last year, the team brought in Trevor Harris to back up Burris, and Harris played in 12 games, completed 242 passes for 3,301 yards and 16 touchdowns. The speedy pivot also ran for two touchdowns. This year the team signed Drew Tate to back up Harris and both Desjardins and Campbell are confident in the quarterback position. “The quarterbacks have been doing well,” Camp-

Jake Davies/Metroland

Ottawa native Ettore Lattanzio is entering his third season as a Redblacks defensive lineman. Lattanzio had a sack in a 30-29 preseason win over Hamilton on June 8. bell said. “It’s good to have Trevor back obviously. He played for us last year and played very well so it is making the transition for all the guys a little easier and just having the continuity with all of the offensive coaches being back. It makes that transition easier. We hope to not miss a beat.” “We’re not naïve enough to think we’ll ever be at the level we were last

year with both Henry and Trevor, but having Trevor and Drew as a combination is a pretty good combination,” Desjardins said. “For us, even Brock Jensen (released on June 5) and Ryan Lindley as three and four as of right now, is a good situation, so we feel good about that position.” See REDBLACKS, page 26

Redblack football formula seems to work

Continued from page 25

Redblacks 6’4” veteran wide receiver Brad Sinopoli, who caught 90 passes last year, many of those from Harris, says the quarterbacks are looking good in camp so far. And the former Ottawa Gee Gee quarterback knows a thing or two about the position. “Harris is doing a great job,” the Peterborough native said. “I know he’s been working hard in the off-season to get better in every little way he can. I think he’s been waiting for this for a while so he’s excited and I think the whole team is excited to have him as our leader.” Wide receiver was another position that has seen a lot of change over 2016 (in a league where teams regularly have major turnover from year to year). Speedy receiver Chris Williams and Ernest Jackson were two of the four Redblacks receivers who surpassed 1,000 yards receiving last season. Both have new homes this year with Williams taking his talents to British Colombia and Jackson joining the Montreal Alouettes. Desjardins has been bringing in pieces, even as late as a couple of weeks ago, to fill out the hands unit. “The core guys that were instrumental the last couple of seasons, Sinopoli and Greg Ellingson are still here,” he said. “Juron Criner (6’3”, 220 lbs) came in to the mix part way through the season after Williams got hurt

and we signed two guys from Toronto – Kenny Shaw (6’, 170) and Diontae Spencer (5’8”, 185) and they both fit in very well, not only in terms as players. “They fit in to our locker room very well. We have Jake Harty (6’2”, 210) as a Canadian who’s been here. “We have numerous options of younger guys, Canadian and American, that we feel will be able to give us the depth we need because we know during the season not everybody is going to play every game.” Sinopli says the receiving group is looking good early in camp. “It’s going well,” he said. “I think everyone has the offense down pretty well now. As always, when you have a bunch of new guys it takes a little while for it to come together and we’re just kind of feeling each other out. We’re just trying to work hard, The last five or six days is all install, so we have a lot on our plates, but so far it’s going really well.” On the stop side of the ball, the Redblacks secondary has seen a lot of change heading in to 2017. Desjardins says there is enough experience remaining with Redblacks 2014 draft pick safety Antoine Pruneau (6’, 200) and Jonathan Rose (6’1”, 190) returning to the team. Desjardins brought in A.J. Jefferson (6’,190) from Toronto who was a CFL All Star last season to play opposite Rose. “We have several other return-

New wide reciever Daje Johnson has made an impression with his athletic catches in both practice and the first pre-season game. ing players and some new guys, so we have a lot of very good options in the back end,” Desjardins said. “We’re actually very comfortable with where we’re at.” So far during training camp, the offensive side of the ball has been spotted doing more pushups then the defence following head-to-head drills – a sign the defence seems to be gelling well. Ottawa native Lattanzio (6’, 252) is entering his third season with the Redblacks and agrees the defence is coming together nicely. “I think we’re ahead at this time of year then we were at this time last year,” he said. “The DBs are getting a lot of picks, which is really nice to see. The D-

line is applying a lot of pressure and that’s allowing the DBs and linebackers to do their jobs well.” Despite Ottawa hosting the Grey Cup for the first time since 2004, the team, from top to bottom, is feeling no extra pressure attempting to be a competitor in the game. “I’d say for the average person that should seem to be the case,” Lattanzio said. “But honestly, we haven’t even talked about it and that really comes down to coach Campbell’s whole mentality. “He keeps everything super even keel and doesn’t put that pressure on us. We are all adults and we all know what we can achieve and what’s at stake if we under-achieve. So there’s no need to put that added pressure on us. We just need to play football and perform.” Desjardins says, that’s the way the Redblacks operate. “There’s no added pressure,” he said. “We don’t focus on that. We’re day-to-day during camp, week-to-week during the season, we don’t look that far ahead to be honest. “Our expectations are to be in the Grey Cup game each and every year. We just try to aim for the ultimate which is to be in the game and obviously, once we’re there, to win it. Our process has worked pretty good the last couple of years, not only in terms of how we build the roster, but how we plan each day and each week. Until that formula proves to not work, we’re going to stick with it.”

Molasses held many uses and many memories

ou could smell molasses at Briscoe’s General Store, once you got by the row of cookies in their tilted boxes at the front. There was no attempt made to shut out the smells that filled the store, and coal oil, rubber boots, maple cookies, rolls of yard goods, and of course, molasses aromas met you as soon as you opened the door. Mother didn’t want molasses that day, I would still head to the back of the store, where a pail sat on a narrow bench, with a tin ladle resting on a chipped saucer, where customers could fill little honey pails with as much molasses as they needed. And if no one was looking, I would run my finger onto the saucer, capturing some that had stayed with the ladle used by the last customer. Of course molasses filled all sorts of purposes at home. It would be poured into

his hands through it until it was dry enough to smoke in his pipe. Sometimes Father would get a package of pipe tobacco at the store, but when he used it instead of what he mixed at home, it never smelled the same. You knew right away, there was no molasses in the bought package. It wasn’t unusual for one of us five children to come Mother’s homemade Boston his pipe tobacco ready to down with what was called smoke until he had added baked beans, a recipe that the grippe. Of course, that a couple spoons of molaswas passed around Northwasn’t serious enough an ailcote, a recipe that was said to ses. He bought leafs as big ment to call either Mrs. Beam turn out the best baked beans as fry pans, and he had a tobacco cutter attached to a or bring old Doctor Murphy in the entire county!

Mother kept testing them with a spoon, and she would And then with his bare hands sometimes the whole lot of us, complained of a stomach add just a bit more molasses, he would mix the molasses ache, out would come the until they were exactly as she into the tobacco. Of course, molasses. wanted them. Soon the smell it all had to dry out before It wasn’t above Emerson to it was fit for his pipe. So of the molasses overpowcomplain of what he would it was spread out onto a ered the chunk of salt pork call “ a sickish feeling” just pushed down into the beans, cookie sheet and put in the warming-closet at the top of to be dosed with Mother’s and all you could smell was the Findlay Oval.

MARY COOK

Memories

“ a good cleanout,” we’d be treated to one of her molasses concoctions. Not one of us complained, even when the drink sent us scurrying to the outhouse, which was its main purpose. Molasses went into muffins and cookies and was drizzled over bread pudding. A special treat for me was when Mother was using molasses in one of her many dishes, and I was Of course molasses allowed to lick the spoon. At a time when there was little filled all sorts of money for special treats like purposes at home store-bought ice cream, or even a box of Cracker Jacks, we could always count on a taste of molasses to take the sting out of those lean years, called The Depression.

Park would be great 150th legacy

Connected to your community

To the editor,

Re: Charles Gordon’s column, “Canada’s birthday plans big on show, not substance,” June 8. We are a community that is going through intensification. Our large lots are being divided and two homes fill one previous lot.

Before intensification started, City View was one of the lowest ratio homes to parkland in the city. This ratio is getting worse with all the new homes being built. Also young families are moving in with children and the scarcity of parkland increases. The city is doing nothing about it.

Money is going into a cashin-lieu fund instead of going into much needed parkland in our neighbourhood. Also, we have a one hectare property with a heritage home for sale. This property is aimed at developers not parkland. The heritage home has a great significance in the history of Ne-

pean, Ottawa and Canada. This should be turned into a cultural, recrational site for all to enjoy. It is easily accessible by public transportation. This is where we began. Should this piece of history not be important in celebrating Canada 150? It’s not over at the end of the day when the party

has finished. It’s a lasting part of our history. For more information, please see our website: www.our cityview.ca Look at the tab “21 Withrow.” Joan Clark president, City View Community Association

Paramedic dispatch centre plugging into high-tech upgrade BY Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

The Ottawa-based paramedic dispatch centre will receive a high-tech upgrade next year that will better triage 911 calls and ensure the most urgent patient cases are prioritized, complementing a proposed plan to allow paramedics to transport non-urgent cases to community health centres. The new advanced medical priority dispatch system will

replace Ottawa’s current technology next spring, part of a provincially funded $10-million overhaul that will roll out over two years at 13 communications centres across Ontario beginning in March 2018. That price tag includes training. “I think it’s the responsible thing to do to look at the Ambulance Act and update the dispatch system and let’s try to serve people better, and use our resources as best we can,” said Ottawa South MPP John Fraser, who made the

announcement on June 6 at the Ottawa Paramedic Service headquarters, which is also the home base for the regional communications centre. Fraser hopes Ottawa will receive its dispatch upgrade next spring, allowing the 60-member team to better prioritize 911 calls by allowing dispatchers to plug more patient information into the computerized system. That will make all the difference during a “seconds-count call,” said Andrew Orchard,

the centre’s operations commander. That means during busy periods dispatchers can ensure ambulances are properly distributed and deployed. “The more details we have ... that just helps us get the right resource to the right patient at the right time,” Orchard said. The upgrade has been a long time coming and will allow the

paramedic service to join more than 200 North American cities — including Niagara and Toronto — that have adopted the technology. Ottawa paramedics respond to more than 135,000 calls each year. And while paramedics respond with lights and sirens to 70 per cent of calls, just 30 per cent of trips to hospital actually required this level of urgency.

“If we can see that at the very beginning of the call, (and) not have to race to the call 70 per cent of the time, that would create a lot of efficiency in your system design,” said Peter Kelly, acting chief of the Ottawa Paramedic Service. “We wouldn’t have a lot of ambulances rush to a scene unnecessarily.” See PROVINCIAL, page 36

Provincial changes to test run ‘firemedics,’ allow paramedics to bypass emergency rooms Continued from page 35

Rushing brings added risk to patients and paramedics, said Marc-Antoine Deschamps, Ottawa paramedic spokesperson. The new system will also give dispatchers more flexibility to deploy a lone paramedic in a rapid-response car. They can treat patients at a scene, and assess whether the patient needs to be transported to hospital. With the current communications system, dispatchers can’t always tell from a call whether a patient needs to be transported by ambulance. “We’re one of the first to do that as well — our rapid response unit is a single paramedic in a vehicle to stop the clock,” Kelly said. The upgrade will complement the province’s plan to allow paramedics to bypass busy hospital emergency rooms and

transport or redirect non-urgent patients to community-based urgent care clinics, family doctors and mental-health centres. To do that, the government will introduce changes to the Paramedic Act this fall, to ease emergency department overcrowding and cut wait times. “Those people will get access to the care that they need, likely more quickly,” Fraser said, because they won’t have to wait in an ER where they compete with more urgent cases. “It’s about the patient. Getting the patient to the most appropriate care in a timely fashion is what it’s all about here.” Fraser cited the example of a targeted engagement diversion pilot project in Ottawa that already allows police officers and paramedics to transport homeless patients to a specialized community clinic instead of a hospital.

As well, there is already a community paramedicine program in place in West Carleton and Renfrew County. In West Carleton, three Ottawa paramedics make scheduled weekday house calls, Deschamps confirmed. “They serve as an extra set of eyes and ears,” Fraser said, providing a link to primary care providers. “It’s just another tool.” Diverting patients from hospital ERs could also lead to changes in community care, such as extended hours, Fraser said. But, Fred Hahn, president of the Canadian Union of Public Employees in Ontario, which represents about 6,000 paramedics and dispatchers in the province, said in a statement that under the proposed model, patients would be diverted to already stressed health-care pro-

The province also wants to change the Ambulance Act to launch pilot projects in two

municipalities to allow firefighters certified as paramedics to respond to 911 calls to treat, release or refer non-urgent patients, as well as provide “symptom relief” to acute patients, according to the provincial government. “I think the firemedic would be more driven towards urgent calls, calls that are higher on the triage level,” Fraser said, adding the pilots will determine whether that tool will be effective for

patients. Still in development, Kelly said he and Ottawa Fire Chief Gerry Pingitore plan to assess that initiative when more details are released. CUPE is equally critical of this plan to “put paramedics on fire trucks.” “To improve response times, what’s needed is increasing the capacity of ambulance services to put more paramedics on the road,” Hahn said.

Blurring the Line Traditionally, the Ottawa Humane Society and most, if not all, humane societies had a pretty deep “line in the sand” between “owned” animals and those that were homeless. That is, the message to owners was that they are responsible for their pet — period. About fifteen years ago, the OHS started to relax some of its views, in particular on the issue of euthanasia. The OHS used to say people should see their veterinarian for this final act of kindness. But the number of calls regarding the urgent need for euthanasia began to increase, with desperate and cash-strapped families telling saying they had been quoted in the many hundreds of dollars, a euthanasia they simply could not afford. So, now the OHS will perform needed euthanasia, for a fee that is affordable in situations where an animal is likely to suffer otherwise. During the research for the new OHS strategic plan, it became clear that “owned” animals need the OHS too and that the old line in the sand was blurry.

It became clear that the biggest, and most important need was for accessible, subsidized spay/neuter. And so, the OHS launched its mobile spay neuter program and vehicle so that low-income families could have their pet sterilized. Education is a part of the program, and the hope is that people will leave with not only a sterilized pet, but also with better knowledge about caring for her. In the coming months and years, the OHS strategic plan calls for further programs to assist pets in the community, not just in the shelter.
