Young man drowns in Rideau

Homegrown Nolan MacMillan was raised in the Ottawa Valley and was the Redblacks’ first ever draft pick. He’s become a steady starter on Ottawa’s offensive line.

CHRISTOPHER WHAN christopher.whan@metroland.com

A male in his late teens or early 20s has drowned in the Rideau River. Ottawa police were called to a residence on Stephanie Avenue in Nepean after receiving reports on the afternoon of July 18 that a male had gone under in the river. The home has been cordoned off with police tape. “We received a call from some individuals that a male was in the water and was having difficulty swimming,” Ottawa police Insp. John Medeiros said at the scene, adding the male had been swimming with friends at the time. “We called in our emergency services and we tried to do a rescue and locate him, but we were not able to.” The police marine, dive and trails unit, and Ottawa paramedics located the body of the young man later that afternoon. Police know the identity of the male, but won’t release his name until next of kin have been notified. Once the male is recovered, there will be a coroner’s investigation. This is the second drowning this week after a 23-year-old man drowned See POLICE, page 6

Barrhaven gets its own classic car show Event to be held on Aug.13 at Fallowfield Park & Ride CHRISTOPHER WHAN christopher.whan@metroland.com

Barrhaven is getting its very own classic car show. On Sunday, Aug. 13 dozens of cars from the 1980s and earlier will make their way to the Fallowfield Park & Ride to show off loud engines and bright chrome. The event is the brainchild of Keith Goebel, who himself owns a 1960 Buick Electra 225, and community events leader Darrell Bartraw. Several sponsors from Barrhaven have already pledged their support for the event of which the profits will be donated to the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario. The reasoning behind the car show for Goebel is to show youth the historical value of restoring these vehicles. “The biggest thing about this car show is the younger crowd,” said Goebel. “It’s good to get them involved.” The younger crowd may be able to appreciate the look of the vehicles but there’s way more than just getting the car to look right when going through restoration. The ultimate goal for Goebel and this car show is to annualize the event. “This is my first car show event and, as far as I know, the first annual one for Barrhaven,” said Goebel. “I’m hoping for a good size turn out, about 200 cars plus.” Goebel received permission to use the park and ride from the city in April and chose August 13 because there are no other car shows in the area at that time. Now that insurance has been purchased and food trucks have

signed up to come everything is looking good for the event. On top of that, the organizers have hired a DJ to play music during the event. So far the event has about 20 volunteers helping with organization and there is need for a few more. For more information on volunteer opportunities contact Keith Goebel at r.k.goebel@outlook.com. THE COST OF CLASSICS

Goebel has put around $70,000 into his Buick. He originally bought the vehicle in 1978 in working condition. Around 2010, he decided to bring it out of storage and go through a full restoration of the car. He said it’s a lot of hard work to bring these vehicles back to their former glory, so it has to be worth it to show it to people who Christopher Whan/Metroland can appreciate it. The Barrhaven Classic Car Keith Goebel with his 1960 Buick Electra 225. Goebel along with several other sponsors and community members are show is set to hit the Fallowfield organizing a classic car show in Barrhaven on August 13 at the Fallowfield Park & ride. With hopes to annualize the Park & Ride Aug. 13. event proceeds will be donated to CHEO.

Police issue warrant for suspect Car crashes into hydro pole at in 2014 Bells Corners robbery Merivale and West Hunt Club CHRISTOPHER WHAN

CHRISTOPHER WHAN

christopher.whan@metroland.com

Ottawa police have issued an arrest warrant for Max Hody, 23, of Ottawa, in a 2014 robbery in Bells Corners. On the evening of Aug. 29, 2014, several friends were outside a fast-food restaurant. A man approached the victim and demanded his phone. The victim was then stabbed twice, once in the abdomen and once in the leg and sustained nonlife threatening injuries. He was treated and released from hospital. Police recently received new evidence in the case, which led to a warrant for Hody, who is wanted for robbery, assault causing bodily harm and possession of a weapon. Hody’s location is unknown and a warrant for his arrest has been issued. He is described as being a Caucasian male with a thin build, five-foot-eight, 160 lbs., hazel eyes and light brown hair. Anyone with information on the whereabouts of the suspect, this robbery or any other robbery, is asked to call the Ottawa police robbery unit at Ottawa Police/Submitted 613-236-1222 ext. 5116. Anonymous tips can be Max Hody is wanted in connection to a robsubmitted via Crime Stoppers. bery that occured in Bells Corners in 2014

Ottawa Fire Service and Ottawa police responded to a motor vehicle crash that occurred at West Hunt Club and Merivale. Calls came in reporting the crash at 7:16 a.m. on July 15.

The initial update from the fire crew on location was that a single car had hit a hydro pole and one person had to be extricated from the vehicle. Fire crews had to pop the doors off of the car in order to get the occupant out of the vehicle. Fire crews then stabilized and assisted paramedics

with patient care and he was taken to hospital with minor injuries. A 22-year-old man was charged with careless driving in the incident. Ottawa hydro was notified of the crash and arrived on location to disconnect the power to the hydro pole.

Mayor’s Report

PLACING THE FINAL PIECE ON STAGE 2 LRT By: Mayor Jim Watson Last month, I had the privilege of welcoming Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to the Belfast Yard Maintenance and Storage Facility, where our Light Rail Transit (LRT) system and O-trains are currently being built and assembled. Prime Minister Trudeau announced that the Federal Government would finance the final tier of our Stage 2 LRT project, the single largest infrastructure project in the City’s history. The Federal Government has pledged to contribute $1.09 billion, in addition to over $67 million committed to Stage 2 through the first phase of the Public Transit Infrastructure Fund last year. This funding announcement comes a year after the Province of Ontario committed to fund its third of our LRT project by investing $1 billion towards Stage 2 LRT, plus 50 per cent of the cost associated with extending the O-Train system to the Ottawa airport and from Place d’Orléans to Trim. The City of Ottawa will cover the remainder of the LRT costs, approximately $1 billion. Now that the final funding piece of the Stage 2 LRT project has been put in place, we can plan to put shovels in the ground in 2019 and continue expanding our world-class LRT system. Stage 2 LRT will connect our residential areas to our largest employment areas, major retail outlets, and cultural and recreational destinations. By 2021, the Trillium Line will be expanded South to reach Earl Armstrong/ Bowesville Station, with a link to the Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier Airport. In the East, the Confederation Line will extend to Place d’Orléans and Trim Road by 2022. And in the West, it will reach Algonquin College and Moodie Drive by 2023. Stage 2 LRT will transform the way we travel in our City. Once completed, 70% of Ottawa residents will live within five kilometers of efficient, clean, accessible, comfortable and reliable rail service. Our new O-Train system will span over 60 kilometers, take 14, 000 vehicles off the road during rush hour and significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The O-Train will also save residents money with reduced car costs, including fuel costs, vehicle wear and tear and even accident avoidance.

3 cheers for likable athletes

his year’s U.S. Open, arguably the most desired title in golf, was won by Brooks Koepka, a first-time major tournament winner. The tournament was played on a first-time site, the Erin Hills Golf Course in Wisconsin, that was a bleak, treeless, non-traditional layout. But the Koepka win was not the most significant story coming out of that U.S. Open. That has to go to Phil Mickelson, a golfer who wants to win the U.S. Open more than any other tournament after six second-place finishes and the window closing on his competitive golfing years. Phil withdrew from this year’s U.S. Open because his daughter Amanda, as president of her high school class, was to give a speech at the graduation ceremony. It was impossible for Phil to be in two places at one time, and so he opted to withdraw from the U.S. Open and to be at home to hear his daughter speak. It was a similarly heartwarming situation when Smiths Falls golfer Brooke Henderson won the LPGA tournament at the same time as the U.S. Open was being held. To see her

jumping for joy and hugging with her sister and her father after winning that tournament made your heart explode with pride. Here was a still19-year-old golfer who not only is exceptionally talented but who also obviously knows and appreciates the value of family. It is stories like these about Phil and Brooke which make you see athletes in a different light. You admire them because of their human qualities, not just their golfing skills. Eat your heart out, Tiger! Speaking of Brooke, she will be a star attraction at the upcoming Canadian Pacific Women’s Open golf tournament at the Ottawa Hunt and Golf Club from Aug. 21 to 27 later this summer. An estimated 70,000 spectators are expected and Brooke will be the centre of attention, as she should be. She’s not only one of the world’s top golfers already in her young career, but she has shown that she’s the type of person who is human and likable. Arnold Palmer had these traits, and he was known as the “King.” It’s not hard to see Brooke soon being the “Queen.”

Better security, more common sense needed at large festivals

ust once, wouldn’t you like to hear this: a festival organizer proclaiming that “This year’s festival is going to be smaller than ever.” Probably not going to happen, right? But you can see the appeal. A Bluesfest for blues lovers, a jazz festival for jazz lovers, a folkfest for folk lovers — no overcrowding, no lineups, no thrill-seekers, just a pleasant, peaceful listening experience under the evening sun. It used to be that way, many years ago, and then it changed. And it may have reached its zenith in the scary events one night at Bluesfest when 200 people had to be treated by paramedics, 10 were taken to hospital, people’s lawns were used as urinals and chaos seemed to reign for a while. Now, everybody knows that the situation at the scene is not always as frightening as the situation that

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town is reported. And nobody will have difficulty agreeing with Bluesfest organizers that 99 per cent of attenders are well-behaved and enjoying the experience. But the one per cent can cause a lot of harm. The Bluesfest people say they have talked it over with police and paramedics and security to figure out how to avoid similar problems in the future. That’s good, because it’s obviously in the festival’s interest, as well as the general public’s, to keep things safe and peaceful. Even if the horrors have been

overemphasized, public perception is important and there is a danger that tourists will stay away and parents will keep their teenagers from attending unless there positive signs of change. When festivals strive for bigness, and succeed, crowds become an issue. Lineups become necessary and, in this day and age, security. That can create problems, as we saw on Canada Day, even when people are not drunk and excitable. If there were no need for lineups, Canada Day would have been a breeze, but creating the Biggest Canada Day Ever also created the necessity for lineups. And we saw what happened. From the point of view of the festivals, growing bigger is unavoidable. The financial structure around festivals demands it. Government grants are linked to attendance. Corporate sponsors want bigger crowds. So it is

not a simple matter, some would say it is not an option, to scale back. Too bad, but if we are stuck with the large spectacle mentality then we have to figure out how to make it work. We don’t want neighbourhoods to become unliveable for two weeks. We don’t want potential attendees to be fearful for what might happen. We don’t want anybody to get hurt. The traditional methods, including tighter security at the gates, can be shown to create problems of their own. And better security on the grounds, while it is needed, doesn’t deal with one of the core issues — that some people show up loaded and use the anonymity of a large crowd to let loose in troublesome ways.

would discourage troublesome acts. Perhaps that happens already, to an extent, and prevents matters from becoming worse. It couldn’t hurt to bring young festivalgoers, and maybe even some parents, into the conversation.

Working well from home takes practice BRYNNA A friend of mine recently found himself unemployed. Not one to sit on his laurels, he immediately reached out to his network and landed some pretty decent work-fromhome contracts. He’s a talented guy. A few weeks in, he called me: “How have you been doing this for a dozen years?” Having been gainfully employed, with pension, for the better part of 20 years, he was having trouble adjusting to the lack of nine-to-five security. More than that, however, I could sense he was feeling the isolation. More Canadians than ever are working from home. According to the Statistics Canada General Survey, work-from-home employees make up nearly one-fifth of the workforce. Technology and the growth of the knowledge economy has made it possible for companies to outsource call centres, data processing, sales — basically anything that can be done with a computer and a telephone on hand. To those bracing themselves for the daily commute, clocking bum-in-seat time, it can sound like a dream. In many cases, it’s a good fit for families trying to find that elusive work-life balance. But, there are a number of pitfalls to working remotely. Employees working at home often miss those key social interactions that do, in fact, occur by the water cooler. Being absent from the subtle changes to team dynamic or processes or priority shifts that occur day-to-day can leave telecommuters feeling like an appendage. Telecommuters frequently miss the casual, ongoing feedback that leaves them working in a vacuum. For my friend, working as a contractor from home makes him feel he has to be punching buttons eight hours a day in order to prove his worth to clients. “I really just want to go for

Capital Muse a run right now,” he said to me at 12:30 p.m. one day. “Go,” I said. “This is your lunch break.” Self-motivation and selfmanagement can be hard, however. For years, I was my own worst manager. Once I clocked in at 8 a.m., I refused to take breaks, determined to put in a solid eight hours per day. “If I don’t work, I don’t get paid” was my mantra. It’s ridiculous, of course. First, I normally get paid by the project. If that’s not the case, I’m clocking a day rate. I learned the hard way — from burn out and unwanted weight gain — that building in time for regular fitness breaks, meals and even “gap out” time is how the most successful consultants get ahead. Whether you’re an employee who works from home or a business owner, there are a few things to keep in mind to guard your sanity. Check in regularly. Even a quick touch-base phone call or video call with your client or team can help you set priorities for the day. Build breaks into your schedule. In an average eighthour day, employees generally get a minimum of two 15-minute breaks and 30-60 minutes for lunch. In that time, it’s important to work in some exercise, so you don’t die at your keyboard. Set interim deadlines. If you’re working on a big project, establish with your client or manager some key touchbase points, with deliverables, if possible. This not only helps to keep you focused on the

task (read: avoid procrastination), but also means you find out if the project is going off the rails long before the final product is due. If you get stuck, ask for help. People often procrastinate when they’re not clear what’s expected of them. A quick call to your manager or client for clarification can help you move forward on a project. If you’re not comfortable with that approach, set up a team of colleagues outside of your work or business that can be on hand to advise you when you need a quick boost. Where possible, vary activities according to your own energy levels. I know that I write best in the morning, which is why I frequently get up at 5 a.m. to draft my work. I can often carry this momentum through the morning, but by 1 p.m., my creativity is lagging and the flow is gone. Over the years, I realized it’s best for me to set conference calls or tackle administrative tasks in the afternoon. I also give myself flexibility to switch from one project to another when I’m stagnating. Working from home can be great when it’s done right. To avoid becoming a recluse, depressed, ineffective employee or business-owner, however, figure out how to be your own best manager. As for my friend, he’s using his new-found flexibility to take his first-ever month-long vacation in August, after which he plans to be bum-in-seat at a nine-to-five for the next 20 years. Working from home isn’t for everyone.

Event marks one year since Abdirahman Abdi’s death BY MELISSA MURRAY mmurray@metroland.com

Notice of Completion Kennedy-Burnett Stormwater Management Facility Class Environmental Assessment Project File and Functional Design Report Available for Review The City of Ottawa has completed a Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) and functional design for the proposed expansion and retrofit to the Kennedy-Burnett Stormwater Management Facility. The project was identified as a preferred alternative in the South Nepean Urban Area Master Servicing and Environmental Study. The existing Kennedy-Burnett Stormwater Management Facility receives runoff from approximately 200 hectares of predominantly residential lands north of Strandherd Drive, along with a portion of commercial development in the Barrhaven Town Centre. The facility will be expanded and retrofitted to provide enhanced water quality treatment consistent with Ministry of Environment and Climate Change requirements for the existing serviced area as well as the proposed developments adjacent to the facility south of Strandherd Drive. The preferred servicing option for the proposed development lands was also determined as part of this study. A portion of the development lands are to be treated by the expanded facility, while the remaining areas would outlet to the Fraser-Clarke Drain or the Jock River with water quality treatment provided predominantly by hydrodynamic separators. A small new stormwater management pond on the Minto Lands to the west of the existing facility is required to provide stormwater quantity and quality control to existing and future residential areas draining to the Fraser-Clarke Drain. Consultation, in the form of technical advisory committee meetings and two public open houses were incorporated as part of the Class EA process and are documented in the Project File and Functional Design Report. The Kennedy-Burnett Stormwater Management Facility Project File and Functional Design Report details the study process, findings and recommendations. The public is invited to review the report, available at the following locations: Nepean Centrepointe Library 101 Centrepointe Drive Ottawa, ON K2G 5K7 Tel.: 613-580-2710

To mark one year since the death of Abdirahman Abdi, local groups planned a community gathering. On July 24, from 6 to 8 p.m. in Somerset Square Park, 2 Spadina Ave., the Justice for Abdirahman coalition scheduled Standing Together: One Year Later – a community gathering to remember Abdi, who died after a confrontation with police outside his Hilda Street apartment. Police initially responded to the Hintonburg Bridgehead coffee shop on July 24, 2016 when Abdi reportedly displayed assaultive behaviour. Police caught up with Abdi outside his Hilda Street apartment. During a confrontation with police, Abdi lost vital signs. He was pronounced dead the following day. Following an investigation by the province’s police watchdog, the Special Investigations Unit, one Ottawa police officer, Const. Daniel Montsion, has been charged with manslaughter, as well as one count of aggravated assault and one count of assault with a weapon. The charges came on March 6. At the time, the Abdi family lawyer, Lawrence Greenspon, said the family is awaiting the results of the criminal trial, knowing the process will be a long one. On July 12, the Ontario Court of Justice set aside a 12-week period for his trial.

The date has since been set for February to May of 2019. “The family is disappointed they have to wait that long,” Greenspon said of their need for answers about Abdi’s death.

“It’s not easy for the family. They are a bereaved family that needs answers and needs the details and they won’t get to attend a trial until 2019.” LAWRENCE GREENSPON, LAWYER REPRESENTING THE ABDI FAMILY

“It’s not easy for the family. They are a bereaved family that needs answers and needs the details and they won’t get to attend a trial until 2019.” The first available date for the trial was the fall of 2018. However, Montsion’s defence lawyer, Michael Edelson, was not available at that time. Greenspon said Montsion has waived his right to a speedy trial to move forward with the trial in 2019. “The real question is how come there are no courts or judges available in less time than a year and a couple of months?” Greenspon said, adding the delays experienced

Get Your Plumbing Problem Fixed Right, Right Away

Written comments must be provided within thirty calendar days from the date of the first issuance of this Notice. If concerns regarding the project cannot be resolved through discussion with the City, a person/party may request that the Minister of the Environment and Climate Change comply with Part II of the Environmental Assessment Act (referred to as a Part II Order). Requests must be received by the Minister at the address below by August 28th 2017. A copy of this request must also be sent to the City of Ottawa Project Manager, John Bougadis at the above address. With the exception of personal information, all comments will become part of the public record. If there are no requests received by August 28th 2017 the project will proceed to design and construction as presented in the Class EA study. Honorable Glen R.

in the court system need to be addressed by doing more than adding more judges and Crown attorneys. “The solution is not so simple as waving a magic wand and the problem going away.” In a statement issued by the Justice for Abdirahman coalition, the group said the trial date came as a shock to the family, the coalition and those watching the case. “While it is not unusual to have some level of delays in a case, the coalition is deeply concerned about this excessive delay in our justice system,” the group stated. “For a case of this magnitude involving a public servant, which has attracted enormous public interest, and centred on the violent loss of a life, it is unacceptable for there to be such a long delay in justice, especially in a country like Canada.” The coalition said members are disappointed in the “excessive” delay. A recent Supreme Court decision determined that provincial court cases shouldn’t take longer than 18 months, and cases in superior court shouldn’t take longer than 30 months from the time charges were laid. “The Abdi family has been extraordinarily patient,” the coalition stated. “A delay of this length only adds insult to injury. Due process in a timely manner is all they ask.”

Ottawa hospitals receive $8.8M for ‘behind-the-wall’ necessities ERIN MCCRACKEN erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Deep under the Ottawa Hospital’s Civic campus, a hum fills the air and sloped hallways lead around pipe-filled corners. Doors dotted along either side open onto to a larger network of hallways and rooms. One hall leads to an electrical substation that distributes about 20 per cent of the power the west-end campus requires to function around the clock. At a neighbouring building, another maze winds its way to the hospital’s main electrical substation. “This is the main engine to the hospital and so this year we have decided it’s time to replace it,” said Joanne Read, vice-president of planning and support services at the Ottawa Hospital. “My team refers to this like a car. You can change the engine in the car so many times but at one point the body just starts to wear out. We’ve been doing that with this substation for the last 50 years.

That replacement is being made possible due to a $6.16 million provincial injection. The Ottawa Hospital, CHEO, Bruyère Continuing Care, Montfort Hospital, Queensway-Carleton Hospital and the University of Ottawa Heart Institute will receive a total of $8.8-million this year from the province’s hospital infrastructure renewal fund, Ottawa South MPP John Fraser announced July 11. The dollars will go toward new roofs, windows, backup generators, meeting building code standards, and upgrading heating, ventilation and air conditioning units. “This work is very important and it’s all based on need,” said Fraser, parliamentary assistant to the minister of Health and Long Term Care. Though a new Civic campus is in the works, upgrades to the existing site are still required. “The new hospital’s doors won’t open for at least 10 years. That doesn’t mean that we neglect the current infrastructure,” said Ottawa Centre See WE’VE, page 15

Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi (third from right) joined Ottawa South MPP John Fraser (far right) deep under the Ottawa Hospital’s Civic campus on July 11 to announce that six Ottawa hospitals will receive $8.8 million in infrastructure funding. Also in attendance were Susan Sallaj Ginn (left), a director at the Queensway-Carleton Hospital, CHEO vice-president Bruce Squires, Daniel Levac, Bruyère’s president, and Ottawa Hospital vice-president Joanne Read.

‘We’ve come to count on it for sure. It’s critical’: CHEO VP Continued from page 14

MPP Yasir Naqvi, whose riding includes the campus. “(The) Civic is almost 100 years old and we need to make sure that its infrastructure is up to good form and continues to provide that quality health care.” Susan Sallaj Ginn, director of planning and facilities at the Queensway-Carleton Hospital in Nepean, said its $425,635 share will go toward a number of projects, including air-handling units, duct work and electrical distribution upgrades. “It is patient care,” she said. “Sometimes facilities are noted as those behind-the-wall items and … it’s instrumental for what we do every day.” Daniel Levac, Bruyère Continuing Care presi-

dent and chief executive, said its $551,757 portion will pay for relocating and upgrading a transformer at the Élisabeth Bruyère hospital site in Vanier, for example. “This is key to us because our building was built in different stages going back to the 1930s,” Levac said. “It’s much-needed funds. There’s always requirements for more.” CHEO, located in the Riverview Park community, has a younger building, but ongoing upkeep and maintenance are needed. “A 43-year-old hospital, you’d think — not that old,” said Bruce Squires, CHEO’s vice-president of people, strategies and performance. Its $1.16 million share will be spent on another section of roof, medical gas systems, elevators and

accessibility improvements. The hospital received about the same amount last year for infrastructure projects. “For us there’s a long list of what this money will be used for — more than 11 projects,” Squires said. “No. 1, it’s about ensuring we can provide accessible care to patients, but No. 2, in a safe environment. “We’ve come to count on it for sure,” he said of the funding. “It’s critical.” Growing patient demand leads to wear and tear on the building, but also the need to change how space is used. CHEO’s emergency department is growing, there are more outpatient visits and an increased demand for more surgeries, said Squires, adding

that an annex is in the process of being added to the Ottawa Children’s Treatment Centre to address space constraints. “Some of it is driven by volume, some of it is driven by age, some of it is driven by changing requirements as care changes,” he said. FUNDING BREAKDOWN: • The Ottawa Hospital: $6,163,677 • CHEO/Ottawa Children’s Treatment Centre: $1,165,136 • Bruyère Continuing Care: $551,757 • Montfort Hospital: $430,000 • Queensway-Carleton Hospital: $425,635 • University of Ottawa Heart Institute: $123,348

Staff at Library and Archives Canada are convinced a partnership on a new central library is the way to go, but it may be a few months for the approvals to come through, said Mayor Jim Watson. City staff were supposed to have a funding strategy ready for council to review in June, but that likely won’t happen until closer to the fall now. Library board chair Tim Tierney said waiting on the feds could add two to four months to the city’s original timeline on the project. “Does that mean we can still do something in 2018 to kick off the project? I think it’s a good possibility, but we won’t know until August how to proceed,” he said. Watson said the city has indicated they’d like an answer by the fall, and he still thinks a dual facility is a win-win. The city approved the con-

The so-called mega library is to be built at 557 Wellington St., on the eastern edge of Lebreton Flats. The selection of the site was contentious, with many residents calling for a site closer to the downtown core. The city’s share of the would be roughly $99 million. The construction of the building is esti-

mated to cost $168 million. Watson said the delay in an answer from the upper level of government could result in a delay for the request for proposals. Tierney said the city was always aiming for the fall. “We want to be realistic about this,” Tierney said. “This could be a great partnership, so we don’t want to say that’s it. We want to give them a few months.” -With files from Michelle Nash Baker

Road Tripping with Rover This is the time of year when many pet owners hit the road — or sky or rails — for their summer holidays. Recently, Ottawa Humane Society staff did a little trip of their own, over to Donnelly Ford to present their “Road Tripping with Rover” session about travelling with a pet and what to do if you can’t bring Rover along.

Marvin (ID# A196308) Meet Marvin, an active and playful boy looking for his perfect match. Marvin is an all-star jumper — he loves leaping into the air to chase after his favourite wand toys. Marvin would be a great companion in almost any home. He’s very social and adaptable and he gets along great with canine friends. Marvin is currently relaxing in a foster home until he finds his forever home. If you’d like to set up a time to meet him, please call the OHS Adoption Centre at 613-725-3166 ext. 258

This is an important initiative for the OHS. Summer is the busiest season at the OHS with many owners surrendering their pet. It seems that when Fluffy and Rover don’t fit with summer plans, too often they end up in our shelter. The OHS want to help owners find alternatives, whether it be bringing pets along safely or making alternate arrangements. There is a lot to consider for either choice and the OHS would like to share the information with you so that your cat or dog has as good a summer as you do.

La Machine features huge walking spider, dragon-horse BY MELISSA MURRAY mmurray@metroland.com

With the head of a dragon and the body of a horse, Long Ma will battle a spider, named Kumo on the streets of downtown Ottawa. “The Spirit of the DragonHorse, The Stolen Wings,” created by Francois Delarozière, the artistic director of La Machine, a French theatre production company, will take over Centretown from July 27 to 30. The street performance continues the tale of the half-horse, half-dragon that keeps watch over humanity. While sleeping, the giant spider sneaks into his home and burns the dragon’s wings and robs his sacred temple. Kumo takes refuge in Ottawa, beneath the streets, after having been recently awakened and forced to emerge by light rail construction. Responding to an apparition, Long Ma intends to recover his temple in the capital. Ottawa 2017 executive director Guy Laflamme said he hopes visitors will “embrace the

fantasy of LaMachine.” The performance is a North American first. It cost $3.5 million to bring it to the city. The price includes the cost of transporting the characters. Talks to get the show to Ottawa began in 2015. “The goal of La Machine was to reposition Ottawa as a hip, cool and trendy city,” Laflamme said. The horse-dragon stands 12 metres tall, five metres wide and weighs 45 tonnes. It’s made of wood and steel and is able to trot, gallop, rear and lie down. Long Ma can also spit fire from its mouth and blow smoke from its nostrils. Resting, the spider is 5.7 metres high and six metres wide, but can reach 13 metres tall when crawling. Fully outstretched, she measures 20 metres long; she weighs 38 tonnes. Laflamme said he wants residents and visitors to be part of the dream and part of the story. “It’s not a parade, it’s monumental street theatre…It will transform the downtown core into a large playground for the public.”

And the public can get up close and personal with the two characters as they walk around the city, feeling the heat from the dragon and the water the spider spits out. A group of people will guide the machines and for most of the performance there are no barricades. “We want people to maintain organic contact with the machines – to touch the dragon and feel the heat of the fire,” Laflamme said. Viewers will also be treated to local music that trails the spider on its walkabouts through city streets. The show takes place in several different parts of the core, but begins when the spider awakens near the National Gallery of Canada on July 27 at 8 p.m. The horse-dragon awakens near City Hall at 10 a.m. the following day. The two characters meet up for the first time near the Supreme Court of Canada on July 29 at 9:30 p.m. “That’s when the magic happens,” Laflamme said. The show ends on July 30

Melissa Murray/Metroland

Operators of Kumo, the spider, show off her moves during a preview at the Aviation and Space museum on July 19. La Machine premieres near the National Gallery of Canada at 8 p.m. on July 27. outside the Canadian War Museum. The show will cause several road closures each day that are expected to impact buses, drivers, cyclists and pedestrians,

said the city’s traffic manager Phil Landry. A list of the closures is available on the city’s website at http://ottawa.ca/en/ la-machine#traffic-impacts. Parts of the downtown and

ByWard Market will be turned into pedestrian zones throughout the day. The long list of closures changes each day. For the full schedule, visit Ottawa2017. com.

‘Preserving time’ was full of good memories

ust walking past the kitchen door from the outside, you could tell what was going on inside by the sweet smells coming out through the screen. It was preserving time again. It was a sweet smell, and I thought the best place for me to be was out in the swing in the grape arbour. It wasn’t that I didn’t like what was happening in the kitchen, it was because preserving time made the place unbearably hot from the steam coming from the boiling pots on the stove. That day, raspberries were being ‘put down’. We had picked them from deep in the bush, where we went every summer with the cream cans on the stone boat. And they sat in the summer kitchen overnight, and now they were ready to preserve. The berries simmered gently towards the back of the Findlay Oval, and right on the front burner Mother had sealers of every shape

MARY COOK Memories and size boiling in the biggest granite pot we owned. The fire had been started by Father before he headed for the barns, and you could feel the heat from every corner of the kitchen. It didn’t take me long to eat my breakfast and head outside. My poor sister Audrey wasn’t so lucky. She was in the stifling kitchen measuring out sugar, making sure there were lids to match the sealers in the boiling pot, and setting out cookie sheets which would hold the bottled preserves until they were ready to move to the swinging shelf

in the cellar. I had watched the preserving many times, but always from a distance. Mother was too busy with the job at hand to tell me what chores she wanted done that day, and I was well aware that she and Audrey would be stuck in the steaming kitchen until every last berry was sealed in the jars. Some jars were what I called ‘store bought’, while others had once held pickles or relishes, or even berries put down the year before. I had everything timed perfectly. I could hear, from

the opened window looking out into the grape arbour, that Audrey was lifting the jars out of the boiling water and putting them on the cookie sheets. And I knew everything would be in the final stages of preserving, and it would be safe to go into the kitchen again. It amazed me how quickly the steam disappeared once the boiling stopped, and the breeze from the open window and screen door cooled everything down. EARLY MORNING

Of course, it was still very early in the morning, and the sun was yet to move high into the sky. Soon it would be stifling hot outside, and putting down preserves was well planned to avoid as much as possible the heat of the day. When I peeked in the door, I could see my sister ladling the berries from the big pot into the jars on the kitchen table. And then I saw Mother, with a long fork, pick the

lids from the steaming water, and gingerly seal each jar tight. Of course, it was impossible to hit the jar dead on each time, and there was always a bit of preserves running down the outside of a sealer. And so each one had to wiped clean with a wet string dishcloth. And I marveled how Audrey or Mother could handle those hot jars as if they had been cooled in the icebox! There were always some of the boiled berries that were not put in sealers, because Father would be expecting a fruit nappy for his dinner just a few hours away. The jars were allowed to cool completely before Audrey moved them to the cellar. There they would join whatever preserves left over from last year, and the pickles and relishes already ‘done down’ earlier. It took a long time for the sweet smell to leave the kitchen. The Findlay Oval would be allowed to cool down completely after dinner at

noon hour, a meal, which would come right out of the oven, since the top of the stove was taken over by the boiling berries and jars. Preserving didn’t mean Father wouldn’t be having his usual big dinner when he came in from the barns. No siree... meat, potatoes and lots of vegetables...that’s what he expected, and that’s what he got! Sometime during the day I would go down into the cellar through the outside door, and marvel at what was before me. And I knew if there was nothing else to eat during the coming winter, there would be lots of preserves, pickles and relishes to keep us from starving. The thought warmed me right through.

OSEG set to launch new charitable foundation BY MICHELLE NASH BAKER michelle.nash@metroland.com

There is a new charity in town for sports fans. The Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group has made the first step in creating the OSEG Charitable Foundation — finding the right person to take charge. On July 17 the organization announced Janice Barresi would take on the role of executive director for the new foundation, which aims to officially launch in the fall. “For OSEG, giving back

has never not been an option,” Barresi said. As a parent who has spent a number of her years around sports fields and facilities, and a huge Redblacks fan — Barresi called this job a dream come true. Barresi’s role in the next month or so will be to define the foundation’s goals, budget and outreach potential. Roger Greenberg, OSEG’s executive chair and managing partner, said Barresi, who has previous experience creating the Youth Services Bureau of Ottawa Foundation as well as

has served as the executive director of Christie Lake Kids, is one of Ottawa’s best know and most experienced fundraisers. “Her passion for developing and leading campaigns to improve lives is contagious and she is known for her ability to make an excellent case for support to business leaders,” Greenberg said. “That’s a powerful combination of skills which will enable the OSEG Charitable Foundation to do great things for our community.” Barresi said this foundation is really the evolution of the

fundraising efforts the Ottawa 67’s have done over the years. The point, she said, is that this foundation will broaden to include all of OSEG’s teams. “There is a fantastic community hub to give back,” Barresi said, adding with the ownership, players and the fan-base backing this foundation, she believes it cannot fail. Last year, Barresi said the players from OSEG’s teams contributed more than 7,000 hours of community service, events and engagements. Barresi said she sees that number continuing to grow,

adding former Redblacks player Henry Burris has committed to being involved. The charitable foundation is still hashing out many of the details — the fundraising opportunities, activities and events it will host, and its fundraising goals — but one thing is certain, this foundation, Barresi said will focus on helping support amateur youth sport initiatives throughout Ottawa and the Gatineau region and increase youth participation in sport. What that will involve, Barresi said, is still a work in prog-

ress, but she said she believes the focus will be on community-based sporting groups and organizations. “We will look at the fact that there are limited facilities, limited funding — we are going to try to work on helping meet the demand and gaps in the communities,” Barresi said. The budget for the foundation, Barresi said, will evolve as the needs in the community are defined. “Really work with teams in need. Right now we can dream big,”

Redblacks first draft pick shaping up BY JAKE DAVIES jake.davies@metroland.com

7 Tips for Entrepreneurs Congratulations and thank you to all the entrepreneurs among us. You are the backbone of our economy. Corporations are consistently seeking employees that have the very spirit that motivates one to become a business owner; self-driven, innovative and committed to results. Over my years of working with business I have gleaned some of the most common traits from the most successful ones. These traits also work in any aspect of your life. VISION. If you don’t know where you are going, any road will get you there. Create a clear picture of where you wish to be then write it down and keep it in front of you every day. Automatically, your thoughts and actions will move you toward your goal. What is at the forefront of your mind will determine your actions. Also, it makes it easy for others to support you. The universe will conspire to get you want you want. BE PASSIONATE. If you love what you do you will attract the right people to get you to your goals. How does one create passion? Know your why. Create a clear understanding of what difference you and your business make in the world. The what and the how of your business will not inspire you or others. However, if you can make the connection between what you do on a daily basis and it ultimately will serve others then you will never work another day in your life. WORK SMART. There is a big difference between working hard and working smart. Time is your most precious resource, invest it wisely. When you embark on any activity; taking a meeting, attending an event, engaging in social media or anything you spend time on, set your intention before you start and then ask if it is a good use of your time. Another key component of working smart is spending time working on your business as well as in your business. Planning your work will keep you true to your ultimate goals and keep you from becoming easily prioritizing work that is urgent instead of important. Use this 3 step plan for working smart; 1. Set your goals, 2. Create systems and automation in your business and 3. Focus on your your strengths and outsource the rest. LEARN. The commitment to ongoing learning (and hence change) has become the great separator in our society. Be committed to learn what is going on, how to improve your skills and how to be better. We are living in a time of unprecedented innovation and opportunities abound. Technology and culture have given us access to endless learning. And your business will only grow to the extent you grow. Collaboration, communication and coaching are the trend and becoming critical to business growth. Internally, work on building a resilient mindset, strong habits and specialized skills. Externally, stay on top of the leading innovation and recognizing new opportunities. What will distinguish you from many others? Billionaire, Warren Buffet claims the number one skill to learn is public speaking. Tune in next month for the final 3 tips and an inspirational story… thank you to our business community for your continued support of our advocacy and economic development work.

Cheers to your success, Sueling Sueling Ching | Executive Director West Ottawa Board of Trade | www.westottawabot.com The West Ottawa Board of Trade is a nonprofit, nonpartisan business association, independently driven and funded by business members. Our mission is to create a prosperous environment in which businesses and individuals thrive through economic development and providing value added services. We are advocates. We are change makers.

32 Nepean-Barrhaven News - Thursday, July 27, 2017

Spending his first five years of life in the Valley was all Nolan MacMillan needed to entrench the work ethic and community spirit needed to be the Redblacks’ first ever draft pick, setting the foundation for a team that has won one Grey Cup, competed in two and brought football back to Ottawa. MacMillan, a six-foot-six, 294-pound offensive lineman who lines up at guard for the Redblacks, spent the first day of his life in the Arnprior and District Memorial Hospital. “I was in Arnprior for about 24 hours and then moved to Renfrew until I was five,” the 26-year-old said. “My younger brother was born in Renfrew.” After kindergarten, the Mac-

Millan family moved to the Toronto area. It wasn’t until he attended St. Michael’s College School in Toronto that he was able to apply those Valley-instilled characteristics to football. “They have a great football program there; I won three championships in four years,” MacMillan told Metroland Media following the 31-31 tie against Calgary at the Redblack’s season-opener on June 23. From there, MacMillan spent a prep year in New Jersey, “and then I was fortunate enough to get a scholarship to Iowa,” he said. Although hard work, dedication and skill had more to do with it than luck. MacMillan was a decorated member of the University of Iowa Hawkeye football team — a program

known for its offensive line. In his 2013 senior year, he was a member of the Academic AllBig Ten team for the second time in his career while playing right guard in five games. In 2012, he played in nine games playing the left guard, left tackle and right

guard positions during the season. He missed the final three due to injury. In 2011, he was named to the All-Big Ten third team in the pre-season. MacMillan recalls his college years fondly. “They treated me like an international student with people from China and India and all over the world,” MacMillan said.” In Iowa there are no professional sports teams, so (the University of ) Iowa is kind of the show. “People are very passionate about it, 72,000 fans for the games, tailgating is awesome, it’s just a great atmosphere and people love football there. It’s really important to everybody there and the program really prepared me for this opportunity here with coach (Kirk) Ferentz.” He also lettered in swimming and track while at St. Michael’s College School. While at Iowa, MacMillan was a philosophy and pre-law major. MacMillan was drafted ninth overall by the Redblacks in 2013, with the expectation he would play for Iowa in his last year. He signed his first contract with the Redblacks in May 2014. Since that time, he has played in 45 regular season games for the Redblacks — every one in 2014 and 2015, and seven last year as he missed several due to injury.

First pick came with ‘good pedigree’: Redblacks GM Continued from page 32

Although he missed more than half of last season, MacMillan made the most of his time away from the field by working in the community. Last year, MacMillan was one of nine CFL nominees for the Jake Gaudaur Veterans’ Award. The award is presented to the Canadian CFL player who best demonstrates the attributes of Canada’s veterans: strength, perseverance, courage, comradeship and contribution to Canadian communities. COMMUNITY WORK

As MacMillan rehabbed a wrist injury, he led all Redblacks players in hours spent working in the community. MacMillan served meals to the homeless, helped out as a minor football guest coach on several occasions and participated in various school assemblies to engage and mentor youth in the National Capital Region. General manager Marcel Desjardins says what’s important during the draft is if the

player can play. “To have him play for us from the get-go and contribute right away was a big boost for us,” Desjardins said. “He came from a good pedigree, even before Iowa. He has athleticism, flexibility based on his sound football knowledge. “He gives us some flexibility even within a game. If there’s an injury, we know we can move him to tackle, if necessary. It definitely helps our depth, (as) tackle is the harder position to play. The offensive line is the foundation of everything we do on offence. So, they might not get the glory in the papers, but we know they are important to us.” But an athlete who is good in the community, is often good in the lockerroom too. “It’s very important to us,” Desjardins said. “It shows the character, not only as a football player, but as a person. It’s important for him to get out and share what he has learned and be a positive role model. In order to do that, you have to spend a lot of time in the area in the off-season.”

Jake Davies/Metroland

Nolan MacMillan (right), born in Arnprior and raised in part in Renfrew, warms up before the Redblacks season opener against Calgary on Friday, June 23. While football has a proud tradition in Renfrew County, opportunities to play are limited. There are only two junior high school teams in Renfrew

and Arnprior and three senior teams with Arnprior, Mackenzie in Deep River and Fellowes in Pembroke. For kids who want to play

club football, the West Carleton Wolverines of the National Capital Amateur Football Association is the only program available. But MacMillan says

you make your own opportunities to do the thing you love. “If it’s something you are passionate about, and something you’re interested in doing, or your kids are interested in doing, there are opportunities out there if you pursue them,” he said. “I had to do a lot of leg work to get some exposure and to get the opportunity to play at the next level, but it was definitely worth it. It’s paid off, I get paid to do what I love; it’s been a lot of fun.” MacMillan says he’s visited the Valley a couple of times since playing with the Redblacks, but no longer has family there. When asked if he’s considered a Valley ambassador for football, he says he’ll “have to work on that.” But Desjardins, who has relatives in Pembroke, doesn’t quite agree. “It’s nice to know our reach has expanded to the Ottawa Valley,” he said. “And you (the Upper Ottawa Valley) should take credit for him, he’s been a good contributor for the Redblacks.”
