Team desktop, laptop or mobile device Up Speak Up is an international concussion See what’s happening by visiting education campaign, which aims to change www.ottawacommunitynews.com/ the culture around concussions in sports. The ottawaregion-events campaign encourages athletes to speak up if www.facebook.com/ottawacommunitynews they believe a teammate may have a concussion. @OTcommunitynews The goal of the campaign is that on Sept. 12, every athlete in Canada will receive a LOOK INSIDE FOR YOUR speech from their coaches, captains or medical CANADIAN TIRE FLYER teams, which will teach them that a good teammate will let one of these leaders know if they see a teammate take a hit to the head. Rowan Stringer, who died suddenly as a result of second impact syndrome after a hard tackle during a rugby game at her high school in 2013, inspired the campaign. She had told her teammates that she believed she had a concussion but didn’t tell her coaches about it for fear that they wouldn’t let her play. Rowan’s parents, Kathleen and Gordon, were on hand at the announcement and hope that by training athletes to speak up to the appropriate people, future deaths can be preSAVE vented. UP TO

system leaves municipalities unfairly on the hook for damages. The way the law is currently set up, one defendant who is only partially at fault — it could be as little as one per cent — can be responsible for 100 per cent of the damages if the other parties can’t pay. Brown said this results in spiralling insurance premiums for cities, as well as a chill on city-run activities that represent a risk. One example is tobogganing. In Orangeville, sledding is forbidden at the municipally-owned hill due to risk of a lawsuit. An AMO study that looked at liability premiums cities pay between 2007 and 2011 saw an increase of more than 22 per cent. The organization has called for a reform of the system, a press release from the conservatives says. “Taxpayers shouldn’t have to foot the bill for spiralling premiums,” Brown wrote in a press release. “The Ontario PCs will ensure that municipalities and taxpayers are protected from unfair and unaffordable settlements.”

Progressive Conservative leader Patrick Brown promised reforms to the joint and several liability system that he says is gouging taxpayers. While Brown didn’t get into specifics on changing the legislation, he said the PCs would consult with stakeholders on reforms. Reforms will result in lower insurance premiums, Brown said.

“The next election will be about who will make it easier for Ontario families to pay less and get ahead,” Brown said. “ … An Ontario PC government will reform joint and several liability. We will make life more affordable for taxpayers and municipalities.”

The Ottawa Humane Society has an urgent need for foster volunteers to help the 70 animals it has at the facility. According to the humane society, population is reaching a crisis level and animals are in dire need of temporary homes to alleviate some of the stress on the charitable organization. And Bruce Roney, OHS executive director, noted the population of animals at the shelter will continue to climb as the summer continues. “These animals need caring people to give them temporary homes outside the shelter to become ready for adoption,” Roney said. “Foster volunteers help save the lives of the most vulnerable animals. We couldn’t do it without them.” Most of the animals waiting for foster homes are cats and dogs in need of dental surgery, cats with respiratory infections and kittens that are being monitored for weight gain. The summer time is the busiest of the year for the shelter with upwards of 50 animals being brought in some days, a significant increase from the 20 or so a day the rest of the year. The jump in numbers not only makes it harder to

Bryan Murray By Scott Campbell Bryan Murray is my uncle. I sat down to interview him at his summer cottage - found just outside of Ladysmith, Quebec - on August 1. Looking back, it is an honour to have done it. I thank Uncle Bryan, Aunt Geri, cousins Heide, Emma and Addie (the three were visiting at the time), for allowing me this snapshot of time. Bryan Murray has a lifetime of hockey memories making for many stories that could fill plenty of pages. The Washington Capitals hired the Shawville native as head coach in 1981, marking the start of a career in the NHL, which spans five teams. Since those early games, he’s seen the game of hockey change dramatically. “First of all, the toughness in the game is not what it was,” he said. “I think the rule changes with the red line gone and the tag-up rule, and things like that make the game appear faster. It is faster. I think the skill level of the kids today is better overall, and that goes along with being faster. The game is changed, and probably for the most part has changed for the better.”

SHAWVILLE KID

Murray’s story begins in the small Ottawa Valley town of Shawville, Quebec. Bryan is one of 10 children of Rhoda and Clarence Murray, a brother to Laird, Barrie, Darleen, Terry, Bill, Laurie, Lorraine, Karen and Kim. Clarence built the Murray home on King Street in Shawville in the late 1940s. He did most of the work on his own. Until Rhoda’s passing in 2013, it remained in the family. The Murray clan didn’t live in the house right away. Clarence needed the rent money so everybody moved out to the farm outside of Shawville in Yarm. “I think we were all glad to get back at Shawville at some point,” said Murray. “But I think when we went through that life on the farm there were a lot of great memories of that too.”

“I don’t know how mom and dad did it, honestly. We had the benefit of good guidance and parents that made sure we had enough. We never had too much, but we always had enough. They expected discipline and decent behaviour. I think it shows that we’ve all grown up to be pretty reasonable people. When you look back on it, so many great memories and so much fun, I think the closeness of most of us in the family is because of it. “It was a full house, no question. Mom somehow, some ability, whether we were out playing hockey, or out playing baseball, or just coming home from school, she had a meal on the table.” For kids growing up in Shawville, a lot of them chose hockey and baseball to play. Murray played a lot of baseball – senior level to the Upper Ottawa Valley League. The home games actually took place on the fairgrounds, not at the R.A field like now. Teams from Quyon, Campbell’s Bay, Vinton, Fort Coulonge, Sheenboro, Otter Lake, Pembroke, Petawawa and Chalk River provided the competition. There was a lot of hockey too. Murray was skilled enough to play with the seniors when he was 14 or 15 years old. He played against Royce Richardson and others who were twice his age.

6 Nepean-Barrhaven News - Thursday, August 24, 2017

“It wasn’t hard to fall in love with hockey. Like a lot of guys around here, I was pretty good at it. Everybody played hockey and that was our outlet,” said Murray. He even drew the attention of one of the NHL expansion teams, the Philadelphia Flyers. “I was playing senior hockey for Shawville in Smiths Falls one night. They watched me before they told me … I scored six goals in the game, which I did a few times in college. They called me the next day and offered me to go to their farm team. I said OK … $20,000. They said Gordie Howe makes $20,000, you can’t make $20,000. That’s what the salaries were.”

PONTIAC HOUSE

Before the call of the NHL came, Murray was a school teacher. When Pontiac Protestant High School first opened, in his eyes, it felt like 600 kids were walking the halls. He helped open Murray’s sporting goods store with brother, Bill. (Bill and his family ran the business for over 40 years.) They built a new building and brother, Barrie, moved in. Murray also bought Pontiac House in 1979. “I went to talk to the owner and the price was right.” Sister Darleen and her husband at the time and Murray’s wife Geri joined in running the business. They sold a pint of beer and a pack of cigarettes for 25 cents and a quart of beer for * 55 cents. It was a time when the tavern catered exclusively to men. Murray remembers Saturday nights and some Fridays in Shawville when all the farmers came into town and people could hardly find a parking spot on the street. “We didn’t rent rooms at the Pontiac House, but we had food, alcohol and bands on the weekend. The place was packed. There was a beautiful dining room and lounge. We had family come in and help us in the kitchen like Lorraine and mom. They helped us a lot. Friday night and Saturdays there would be 100 men in the tavern.” Pontiac House eventually succumbed to a fire and Hursty’s restaurant now resides in the location. Murray coached teams such as the Rockland Nationals and Pembroke Lumber Kings during this businessman period. Then he received an offer from the Western Hockey League Regina Pats to coach there. He told his wife, Geri, he wanted to go out west for one year to say he did it. Regina won the championship, paving the way for his career in the NHL. What if the Washington Capitals had never called? “I probably would have been a businessman in Shawville and maybe taught a little longer,” said Murray. “I would have been a Shawville guy, I think at that stage. I would have been involved in hockey but I don’t think I would have been running out of town a lot. That’s life, you never know.” “I thought I was a good coach, thought I could make part of a living from coaching.”

“I don’t get tired talking about home.” - Bryan Murray

LIFE IN THE NHL

how he treats people and is he a good guy, does he have a chance to be a committed hockey player? I think you evaluate all of that, but I think the bottom line is you try to draft good players and talent. You have to draft certain types and it takes a lot of work and good scouts. If you get three out of seven players to play pro hockey for you, you had a good year.”

General manager David Poile was hired during Murray’s second season, and he made some trades that stimulated fan interest.

Erik Karlsson, Zack Smith, Mark Borowiecki, Chris Wideman, Mike Hoffman, Mark Stone and Jean-Gabriel Pageau are a few - not all - of the notable draft picks made by Murray with the Senators.

Washington was a struggling team when Murray stepped in as head coach. The team had not made the playoffs in eight years. He stayed behind the bench with the Capitals for seven full seasons and earned the Jack Adams Trophy in 1984, as NHL coach of the year.

“It gave the players a sense that we were trying to get better,” said Murray. “We had some great runs like in Game 7 against the Islanders and Pat Lafontaine scored. There’s Game 7 against the Philadelphia Flyers and Dale Hunter scored for us. Fan interest was quite high at that time and it got better. It’s (now a) good hockey hotbed.” The Game 7 against the Islanders is known as the ‘Easter Epic’ in NHL history. The match took four overtime periods to decide and finished in the early hours of Easter Sunday. In 1988, the Capitals were down 3-1 in the playoff series and managed to fight back to force a Game 7 against Philadelphia. The contest went into overtime before Hunter tallied the winner for Washington. Murray next headed to the Detroit Red Wings. It wasn’t smooth sailing, as it was evident on his arrival that the team faced player issues. “I got the chance to go in and help fix that. We had some runs in Detroit. I was only there for four years, but we had a lot of kids, and we knew we were going (to) be really good.” Next up was the Florida Panthers, which managed a trip to the Stanley Cup Final in their third year. Murray helped craft the team for that unexpected run. He remained in Florida until 2000 and then moved on to Anaheim. “In Anaheim, we went from a nothing organization where nobody cared, to drafting (players) really well,” he said. “Tim (Murray) was a big part of that. We drafted Corey Perry and Ryan Getzlaf. We went to the Stanley Cup Final (in 2003) when I hired (former Wing, now Leaf coach) Mike Babcock. We went to Game 7 against New Jersey and lost in New Jersey.” Murray arrived in Ottawa in 2004, but missed an entire season because of the lockout. Murray is still the only modern Senators coach who took the team to a Stanley Cup Final. That 2007 run, he considers a major highlight. The 2016-2017 season was also a memorable one for the Ottawa Senators and Murray. There was plenty of excitement and surprises that didn’t end until the Game 7 double overtime loss to the eventual repeat Stanley Cup champions, the Pittsburgh Penguins, in the eastern final. “Obviously, starting off we weren’t predicted to be a contending hockey team,” said Murray. “But I thought as the year went on we got better. There were a lot of tough games and then making the playoffs and the excitement of winning a couple (of) rounds. The opportunity with Game 7 to move on to the Stanley Cup final, has to be marked as a very good season.” As a general manager, Murray has kickstarted a lot of players’ careers by drafting them. “There have been some surprises and some real disappointments. I think you try to find out is the character of the person. What he behaves like in school, around his parents,

HOME

The old Shawville arena was owned by Ebert Richardson for a period of time. The building, which no longer exists, became known as Richardson’s Rink. Once in a while, a gang would sneak in through the windows for the chance to play indoor hockey. “It was a smaller ice surface,” said Murray. “What that meant was that you had to have skill, you had to be able to control the puck. When I coached - when Boston had the Boston Garden - players had to have the skill because they had to take short passes and quick plays, because people were all over you. You had no room to operate. I always thought the games were better because of that. “Richardson’s Rink was natural ice, small dressing rooms, and a furnace in the rooms to keep you warm and that was it. There was no Zamboni then; most of the time (it was flooded) by a hose. “But Shawville was a great place to grow up,” he said. “Mom cared so much about everything that went on in the family. Dad was in Ottawa working; he probably wasn’t involved early in our life as he could be because of work.” Murray always found time in his off-season to return to summer at the cottage with wife Geri and daughters Heide and Brittany. Son-in-law Don and granddaughters Emma and Addie have spent time there, along with many family and friends. Forty-six years ago, Murray bought the land for $1,800. “People thought I was crazy,” he said. “I’m glad I did it. There was no electricity and no water. We had this big pine tree. We put the drum up in the pine tree, had a motor with a hose. I would go down to start the motor. Geri would wait [until it] started to flood over and I would turn the motor off. That way we would flush toilets. Then we had coal oil lamps and that’s how we started. We were like that for four, five years and then we added power and we grew from that.” Murray’s NHL career took him away from the Shawville area for most the year. In the beginning, teams even travelled on commercial airlines. They flew along with everybody else. Now, it’s a world of difference with teams having their own planes and first class service. The biggest change of all is they can come and go, whenever they want. Yet, no matter how much hockey business there was to do and how far he roamed, Shawville and the Pontiac never seemed to be too far from Murray’s mind. “I don’t get tired talking about home.”

OPINION

Connected to your community

Canada should focus on its issues

he events in Charlottesville, Va., where a clash between white nationalists and counter-protesters turned violent and deadly, have exposed the racial divisions that still exist in the United States. That such racism is still percolating in the United States is depressing, especially after the country elected its first black president in Barack Obama, seemingly closing in on the end of such racism. Then, along came Donald Trump and suddenly racism has blossomed again in that society. Racism seems so Neanderthal-like when it happens. But sometimes there is no rationale for human behaviour. For instance, there’s lots of evidence of the health dangers from smoking. Yet people smoke. There’s much scientific evidence of the adverse impact of climate change on the world. And yet some continue to deny its existence. And yet, why does racism continue to hold such sway over us humans? Before we Canadians get on some high horse on this matter, let us not forget our attitude toward Jews in pre-war decades, our treatment of Japanese Canadians in the Second World War,

and, most depressingly, our residential schools’ history and our treatment of Indigenous peoples in general. We are far from innocent on this human rights/racism file. We view ourselves as a nation that values equality and fair treatment of all. But while these attitudes can be legislated and preached, the challenge remains to wipe racism from the thoughts and actions of our society. The United States, as the events in Charlottesville show, has not eliminated racism in that society. And we in Canada, given our current ineffective grappling with our Indigenous legacy, find ourselves in a similar scenario. Let the States worry about its situation. Hopefully, its racism will be eliminated someday. But for us, we should resolve our Indigenous quandary. Politicians continue to talk about the issue but we need action and we need it now! Let’s get it resolved so that we can all go forward together as a true society that not only talks the talk but walks the walk when it comes to fairness and equality and universal respect for one and all. We have seen in Charlottesville what happens when racism and bigotry are allowed to fester. That’s not the route that we as Canadians should travel.

Not everyone pays attention to calorie counts A few weeks ago, my son and I bused to TD Place to sit on the hill overlooking the east side of the stadium. The Redblacks started out in fine form. We were on a picnic blanket, had a mini can of cola each and a large bag of No Name chips. It was set to be a good and cheap night. At the end of the first quarter, the skies opened. We were forced to take cover at a local eatery, where we could watch the next hours of the game on a big screen a block from the stadium, itself. I had already eaten supper, but I knew we’d be there for a while. I started perusing the menu. Every item — from salad to hamburgers — was over 500 calories. Most entree items were 1,000 calories or more. I settled for a 340-calorie fish taco, and started to wonder how anyone can eat out in good conscience any-

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse more. In January, Ontario introduced new legislation requiring chain restaurants of a certain size to list calorie counts on menus. The legislation has had its critics who say it’s expensive for proprietors and is unlikely to have much of an impact in the so-called war against obesity. In the U.S., where calorie-listing on menus has existed among various states since 2008, one independent study found that while the informa-

tion may not have an immediate impact, they do become a consideration over time. The Washington-based authors interviewed more than 3,000 people who frequented a local restaurant chain between 2008 and 2010. They published their findings in the American Journal of Public Health in 2014, noting that “the proportion [of diners] who saw and used calorie information tripled [in those early years], from 8.1 per cent to 24.8 per cent.” But who’s actually reading the information? The reality is that calorie counts are more likely to have an impact on those who are already health conscious. The American study, above, found those most likely to examine and make decisions based on calorie amounts were affluent, white men and those who qualified as obese.

On the flip side, however, there is preliminary evidence in the U.S. that some restaurant chains have been affected by the exposure. Some chains that were forced by local and state governments early on to list calories on menus have actually found ways to reduce the number of calories per serving. Some chains in Ontario are already using the calorie counts in their marketing campaigns — black coffee, for example, has zero calories per serving. What a great choice! Calorie counts, alone, aren’t enough to force people toward healthier decisions. But it is important for us, as a society, to have information at-hand to help us make good choices. I, for one, was gobsmacked that a burger entree was over 1500 calories and that a salad could make up more than a third of my daily calorie alloweditoriAl MAnAging editor: Theresa Fritz, 613-221-6225 theresa.fritz@metroland.com news editor: Nevil Hunt, nevil.hunt@metroland.com, 613-221-6235 reporter/pHotogrApHer: Christopher Whan christopher.whan@metroland.com, 613 -221–6237 politiCAl reporter: Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com, 613-221-6220

Do they ever have any spats? “Not really, no. I think we may be the unusual sisters,” she said with a laugh. “There’s going to be some disagreements at some point but we work through them really well.”

In addition to playing so close to her hometown, Henderson also considers the south Ottawa course her home club. She first walked its links at age of eight during the 2008 National Women’s Open, and last played the course – of which nine holes have been redesigned – a month ago. Henderson acknowledged that competing Aug. 21 to 27 in the LPGA Tour championship, in which a total purse of US$2.25 million will be up for grabs, comes with added pressure. But she said she has learned a lot over the last two years about the importance of time management, that “… if I want to perform to the best of my ability I have to say no sometimes. “But I also want to embrace it and spend a lot of time with media and fans and show them how I appreciate their support. But with that being said, if I play well, then everybody’s happy,” she said.

“I’ve never played an LPGA tour event so close to home before and so to have the fans and my family and my friends come out and watch it is really amazing, and I’m really excited for the opportunity HOMETOWN PRIDE to put on a good show for them,” the 19-year-old Smiths Falls na- It was just about a year ago when tive said June 21 during a media the Town of Smiths Falls opened its arms to welcome the Hender-

Kevin Haime identifies good viewing spots by john curry john.curry@metroland.com

Ottawa golf pro Kevin Haime says the average golfer can learn a lot by watching LPGA golfers in the CP Women’s Open at the Ottawa Hunt and Golf Club. And he should know as Kevin is one of Canada’s leading golf instructors. In 2000 Kevin received the Canadian PGA’s National teacher of the Year Award, the top recognition for golf instructors in Canada. He notes that higher handicap golfers frequently swing off balance. This does not happen with the LPGA pros whom he says are very disciplined swingers of the club who always stay in balance. While PGA pros swing relying on power and velocity, the LPGA ladies’ game is based on rhythm and balance. He says that there’s a lot to be learned by watching how these LPGA pros hit the golf ball with great rhythm and with such ease. As to where to watch these LPGA pros during the CP Women’s Open, he advises picking a favourite golfer or two and follow them for a whole round one day and then on another day pick out a couple of viewing spots on the course and stay there, watching the golfers as they play through. He says that there are a couple of nice vistas at the Ottawa Hunt that are good viewing spots. One is behind the par-three eighth green. From there, a spectator can also watch drives and approaches on the par-four seventh hole and also see the shots on the short par-three 17th hole as well.

HENDERSON

From page 4

When asked about how she’s keeping her life balanced, she said it was one of the biggest adjustments she’s made so far, but it sure was nice to sleep in her own bed this week. It was just her fourth time home this year.

Another good viewing spot is behind the 15th tee where a spectator can not only see the players play that hole but also can see the approach shots to the par-five ninth and 18th holes. Haime describes the Ottawa Hunt as a target golf course or, as he says, “a second shot golf course.” While the greens are not small, there are small landing areas within the greens and so the golfers who are hitting their irons well and can control the spin on their approach shots will score well. He says that the Ottawa Hunt will not be an overly intimating course for these LPGA pros and will provide a lot of birdie opportunities for them. He predicts that these lady golfers are going to impress golf fans with their scoring, saying the winning score could be 20 under par. But he acknowledges that as happens with every tour level event, weather and pin positions can really affect scoring. “No matter what, though, I’m expecting a few really low rounds,” Haime says. “The course just isn’t long enough to stop all the world’s best women golfers.” Haime acknowledges that the big story of the week will be the play of Brooke Henderson of Smiths Falls who is one of the top golfers on today’s LPGA tour. “I’m expecting a pretty exciting week for Brooke,” he says, calling her a special athlete who responds well to pressure, something that will be needed as he says that things will be kind of crazy around her at the tournament, with huge crowds no doubt following her on the course.

Haime recommends attending the tournament for any golf fans. Indeed, he himself will be there on site as he is doing radio reports from the Hunt on the Thursday and Friday of the tournament. This is not an unfamiliar role for him as he has hosted a live call-in radio show “Tee It Up” on TSN 1200 radio for 20 years, providing golf instruction and covering golf news. Haime, who attended the University of Illinois on a golf scholarship in the 1980’s, has been instructing golf for 26 years now. In 2007 the PGA of Canada recognized him for his outstanding contribution to the game of golf. He operates the Kevin Haime Golf Centre and the Kevin Haime Golf School at 560 Hazeldean Road adjacent to the Carp River between Kanata and Stittsville. The 2017 CP Women’s Open will be played at the Ottawa Hunt and Golf Club during the week of Aug. 21 to Aug. 27. This will be the third time that this championship tournament will be hosted at the Ottawa Hunt, with the tournament held there previously in 1994 and 2008. The Ottawa Hunt and Golf Club has hosted a number of notable championships during its 107 year history including the 1994 Du Maurier Ltd. Classic, the 2008 Canadian Women’s Open, the 1932 Canadian Open and three Canadian Amateur Championships in 1937, 1960 and 1970. The course was originally crafted by renowned golf architect Willie Park and was redesigned in 2013-2014 by international golf course designer Dr. Michael Hurdzan.

“It’s a huge balance and that’s something I really learned about this year is time management, and still focus on what’s important,” she said. “At the end of the day, if I don’t golf well then nothing else matters. I’m still trying to give my fans, and my sponsors as much attention as I can and still try to focus on my game and move that world ranking up from number three a little

bit closer to the top.” Smiths Falls Mayor Shawn Pankow presented the girls with the Canadian flag on which hundreds of residents signed messages of well wishes to be sent to the Olympic Games in Rio. “Unfortunately, the flag got hung up at customs in Rio and never made it,” Pankow said as he unraveled the flag, which made its way back

Crime tips could lead to $2,000 reward BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Crime Stoppers is encouraging residents to report crime in their communities by reminding them they could receive up to $2,000 for tips that lead to an arrest. The reminder initiative was launched on Aug. 1 when Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley made a $500 donation to the reward program. Last year, people called in more than 4,000 tips on a variety of crimes, said Richard McMullen, president of National Capital Area Crime Stoppers. The not-for-profit handed out more than $13,600 in reward money to anonymous tipsters. “Those tips have helped law enforcement with hundreds of arrests,” said McMullen, adding protecting callers’ identities is of the utmost importance. “We go to great lengths to protect the anonymity of our tipsters,” he said. “You’ll never see us trumpeting our own success in the media or talking about how this particular tip led to solving a specific case.” The way it works is “a bit tricky” but effective, said McMullen. Crime Stoppers doesn’t use call display, callers are never asked to identify themselves and conversations are not recorded. For those worried about a court case, tipsters are not called to testify. “It is 100 per cent anonymous,” said McMullen. “We don’t know who you are.” To collect a reward, Crime Stoppers gives people a code when they report information. Callers are then asked to phone back within a time frame and use their code to determine if their tip led to an arrest.

“If your tip is deemed to be information that was used in an arrest or a seizure than you would qualify,” said McMullen, adding all rewards are given in cash. REMINDER INITIATIVE

The reminder initiative encourages residents to report crime in their neighbourhoods, either through Ottawa police or Crime Stoppers, and “to remind them to lock their property – whether it’s their car or shed or house,” said McMullen. Kanata South. Coun Allan Hubley said he will be installing Crime Stoppers signs in different areas throughout his ward, although the list of locations was not made public. “Kanata South is not a high crime area but when something does hit you – and it can be as simple as someone opening your car door and rifling through your car – you’re a victim of crime and you feel it,” he said. “And because you’re not used to it in your neighbourhood, I think it has a bigger impact than if you were in one of the more high crime areas.” Parts of his ward experienced a number of thefts from vehicles last summer. Thanks to residents who called in suspicious incidents, police were able to make arrests related to crimes. “There was a couple of arrests last fall,” said Hubley. “I’m noticing certainly less frequency with it for sure.” Anyone with information on any type of crime can submit their tips anonymously by calling Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or online at crimestoppers.ca.

Notice of Commencement Bayshore to Moodie Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Conversion to Light Rail Transit (LRT) Transit Project Assessment Process The Project As part of planning for Stage 2 of the Light Rail Transit (LRT) program, an opportunity has been identified to extend LRT from the current planned western terminus of the Confederation Line (Bayshore Station) approximately 2.5 km further west to Moodie Drive, with one station located east of Moodie Drive at Corkstown Road and a Light Maintenance and Storage Facility in the northwest quadrant of Moodie Drive and Corkstown Road. The rationale for extending LRT beyond the previously identified terminus at Bayshore is to: • Provide an LRT station in closer proximity to a large employment node (Department of National Defence complex) • Support a Maintenance and Storage Facility for the operation of the Confederation Line East and West extensions in the west with optimized operational and cost benefits. The alignment for the proposed LRT extension has been previously approved as part of the West Transitway Extension Bayshore Station to Moodie Drive project, and is currently under construction as a BRT facility, with revenue operation expected to commence in late 2017. The Process Planning efforts have been completed and this project will be assessed according to the Transit Project Assessment Process (TPAP) as prescribed in Ontario Regulation 231/08. As part of the TPAP, an Environmental Project Report will be prepared by the proponent, the City of Ottawa, to document the study process, the environmental conditions, alternatives considered, the planned project, anticipated environmental impacts, appropriate mitigation and the project’s consultation program. During the Notice of Commencement phase of the environmental assessment, copies of the project studies and consultation information will be available to provide interested parties time to review and provide feedback prior to the formal 30-day public review period following the posting of the Notice of Completion. Consultation Interested persons are invited to review the work completed to date during the planning phase including a study summary, previous consultation efforts and reports presented to City Council, which are available on the Stage 2 website. Given the timing and the requirement to incorporate this section into the Stage 2 Request for Proposals process, it is anticipated that the City will issue the Notice of Completion in early September 2017 (which is within the maximum 120-day period in the TPAP Regulation). Notification will be provided in advance of the formal 30-day public review period. Further information on the TPAP is available at: Ontario.ca/document/guide-environmental-assessmentrequirements-transit-projects

Coalition to host summit on transportation equity BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

A transportation equity summit could pave the way for an open dialogue with the city’s planning and design managers, said Trevor Haché, a spokesperson for the Healthy Transportation Coalition. The summit — the second of its kind in the capital — was developed over the last year as a partnership between the coalition and EnviroCentre. It will be an all-day event at city hall on Sept. 22, for a cost of $30, but Haché said thanks to a 2014 Ontario Trillium Foundation grant, organizers can offer a subsidy for a third of the spots. “There’s the capacity for 150 people and, of that, 50 people’s registration fees will be subsidized,” Haché said. The aim of the event is to get ideas out in the public forum as the city works on the transportation master plan. Haché said a challenge to the city’s official plan by area developers has delayed the next rendition of the transportation master plan. The last time the city updated the plan was in 2013, and the delay could give the extra time needed for more public input. The event will have a number of speakers — including transportation committee chair Coun. Keith Egli. Zan Gibbs, who heads the transportation equity program at Portland Bureau of Transportation, will be speaking, as well. “It will be great to hear from someone who works in a city where the equity lens is already ap-

plied to transportation planning,” Haché said. This is the group’s second summit, the first one was held in February 2016, and Haché said participants would submit their opinions on a five-year action plan. City hall’s movers and shakers will be provided with a draft action plan. It’s not as simple as accessible transportation, Haché said. “It’s about planning cities that work for eightyear-olds or 80-year-olds,” he said. Among the list of concerns is that low-income residents will be priced out of homes near the new light rail stations. The city and other levels of government are investing billions in light rail, and Haché said there’s the potential that properties near the new stations could rise in value, effectively edging out lowerincome residents. He also said he wants to see a more comprehensive look at the connections to the new stations. The city has done a study looking at cycling and pedestrian connectivity 500 metres from the new stations, but with 70 per cent of the city living within five kilometres from light rail, Haché said that’s not enough. “I think we should be looking at connections from five kilometres away,” he said. Transportation equity involves transportation planning and urban design, which is why it’s important the decision-makers at the city attend, Haché said.

Walking to school, safe and sound Walking to and from school is an excellent way for your child to get their daily dose of exercise. But to ensure they arrive at their final destination safe and sound, it’s important they abide by certain safety rules at all times! Start by identifying the safest route and locate danger zones — like railroads or busy streets — along the way. Make sure the route follows school-approved walkways and intersections with a crossing guard on duty. Once established, travel the planned route with your child a few times before school starts, emphasizing

✂

the following safety guidelines along the way: • Always walk on the sidewalk (or, in the absence of one, stick to the outside of the left lane, facing traffic). • Cross the street at supervised intersections. If you arrive at a pedestrian crossing that doesn’t have a crossing guard on duty, always look to your left, then to your right, and then to your left again before moving forward. • Always adhere to the traffic signals and pedestrian lights. • Don’t stray from the approved route or dilly-dally along

the way. • Never get into a stranger’s vehicle. If possible, encourage your child to always walk with a friend — provided, of course, that this friend also keeps safety in mind! Finally, prompt your child to leave early to avoid having to run (and risk getting hurt!) to make it to school on time. Does the thought of your child travelling alone make you nervous beyond belief? Don’t hesitate to accompany them or meet them after school until you both feel more Identify the safest route to school and try it out several times with your child before letcomfortable with the situation. ting them undertake the journey alone.

Centrepointe Theatre’s line up has something for everyone BY CHRISTOPHER WHAN christopher.whan@metroland.com

The Centrepointe Theatre has released its event schedule for the 2017/2018 season and dozens of big name acts are set to hit the stage. The upcoming season will see acts from all over the world come to perform. From live music to comedy acts, there will be a little something for everyone. Rocker Graham Nash hits the stage on Oct. 2 at 8 p.m. for an evening of songs and storytelling. Tom Cochrane with Red Rider is slated to perform in March 2018. Country music fans have Gord Bamford to look forward to as he hits the stage on Jan. 25 next year. Opera fans will also have several acts to look forward to this season. Julie Nesrellah, Gary Relyea and Richard Margison will perform A Night at the Opera on Feb. 1. Allan Sansom is the artistic producer for the theatre and is the one responsible for bringing these acts to Centrepointe every year. “The prospect of connecting an audience to an artist is the best part of my job,” said Sansom. “I’m really excited about (this season) and I’m excited about the range of acts we have.” Dance performances will also be showcased at the theatre. On St. Patrick’s Day, Rhythm of the Dance will perform traditional Irish dance to celebrate the holiday. Contemporary dance

act Shaping Sound, who hail from Hollywood, will be returning to the stage in Centrepointe on Jan. 31. As the season continues, patrons will have the opportunity to laugh at jokes from legendary comedian Roseanne Barr on April 20. On top of that, comedy troupe The Debaters will return to the stage Feb. 6 as well as the Just for Laughs Roadshow on Apr. 6. Don’t think the children have been forgotten though as Tall Stories’ international roadshow makes its way here and brings The Gruffalo on Feb. 3. Long-time children’s performer Al Simmons will perform his sing-along act Jan. 6. For those who enjoy orchestral acts several of those will be at the theatre as well. The Canto Sentimento String Quartet will perform on Mar. 25 and Ottawa’s own duelling pianos will play Dec. 1 of this year. Grey Jazz Big Band will be performing hits from the golden age of jazz on Nov. 10 of this year. According to Sansom, this will be the first year that the theatre will feature a studio series in their line up. The more intimate shows will have local up-and-coming acts perform in front of a smaller audience and will serve as an opportunity for newer artists to hone their skills at live performing. It’s set to be a full season of entertaining acts and those who wish to see a full rundown can go to centrepointetheatres.ca for more information.

City has zero tolerance for abuse and neglect: Burelle BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

The provincial order that prompted a joint memo from Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson and Diane Deans has never been applied for more than one long-term care home under the same licensee, a Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care spokesperson said. The order, a result of a string of events that included abuse and covered up injuries, called for improved safety at three of the four city-run long-term care facilities and a risk assessment at the fourth. “Referrals to the director are an important tool in ensuring licensee compliance with the LTCHA (Long-Term Care Homes Act) and are not uncommon,” a statement from the ministry provided to Metroland Media reads, adding that this case is the first time the province has issued the order for more than one home operated by the same licensee. The memo released by Watson and Deans, who chairs the community and protective services committee – which is responsible for the oversight of the four long-term care homes – promised to improve safety and host public consultations. “The City of Ottawa stands firm on its commitment to delivering care and services in a healthy and safe environment for all its residents,” a statement from Janice Burelle, the general manager for community and social services reads. “To that end we have drafted work

plans to be validated with stakeholders,” she said. According to the inspection report, from the Garry J. Armstrong home, a personal support worker said while placing a resident in bed one evening in December 2016, he removed his lap belt and restraints and left the resident alone. Another incident at the home, which is on Island Lodge Road, included a patient with dementia getting punched in the face by another personal support worker. That was the fourth time since 2015 the city was found to be in non-compliance with the section of the long-term care act regarding abuse and neglect at Garry J Armstrong. Burelle said the PSWs in question are no longer working with the city. When he returned, he found the resident on the floor; the fall caused facial injuries, which were not reported to nursing staff. Among the recommendations included in the order by Karen Simpson, director, Long-Term Care Inspections Branch, were supervision of non-regulated staff such as support workers by registered nursing staff. When asked if that element of the order would represent a staffing cost to the city, Burelle said that the supervision of non-regulated staff is an area of focus as part of the city’s work plan. “The emphasis will be to look at our service delivery model to ensure there is adequate supervision within our homes,” she said.

Mayor’s Report

Celebrating outstanding Citizens with the order of ottawa By: Mayor Jim Watson

Every year, I have the honour of inducting 15 Ottawa residents into the Order of Ottawa and awarding the Brian Kilrea Award for Excellence in Coaching.

Christopher Whan/Metroland

The Ministry of Health and Longterm Care has order the city complete a risk assessment for the Nepean-based Carleton Lodge, and improve safety at its three other long-term care homes. Each home gets an annual inspection from the ministry, but critical inspections can be done based on incident reports or based on complaints from residents or their families, the ministry spokesperson said. “To further its commitment to LTC residents, the ministry intends to strengthen its quality and safety inspection program with new enforcement tools – including proposed financial penalties – to ensure that all home licensees are addressing concerns promptly,” the ministry statement reads.

Public Meetings

Along with my Council colleagues, I established this prestigious civic award in 2012 as a way to recognize those who, through their extraordinary work and commitment, have helped make our city a better place to live. The Order of Ottawa is bestowed upon exceptional residents who have made a significant contribution in a professional capacity in many areas of city life. This includes arts and culture, business, community service, education, public service, labour, communications and media, science, medicine, sports and entertainment, and other fields of endeavour that benefit our fellow residents. The Brian Kilrea Award for Excellence in presented to an amateur coach who best exemplifies the qualities of leadership and commitment. As we celebrate Canada’s 150th anniversary this year, I cannot think of a better time to also celebrate the remarkable residents who have had a significant impact in the lives of others and in their community. I invite you to consider nominating them for the Order of Ottawa or the Brian Kilrea Award for Excellence in Coaching. Nominations for both awards may be completed by visiting www.Ottawa.ca/OrderofOttawa or by filling out a nomination form in pamphlets that are available at the City Hall Information Desk, and at your local community centre, all branches of the Ottawa Public Library, or at any client service centre. The deadline for nominations is on Friday, September 8, 2017. Recipients of the Order of Ottawa are chosen by a Selection Committee comprised of the Mayor or Deputy Mayor, City Clerk and Solicitor, Chief of Police, Chief of Protocol, City Archivist, and the Chief Executive Officer, Library Services, and will be officially inducted as Recipients of the Order of Ottawa during a special ceremony at City Hall. It is truly a privilege to recognize the accomplishments and contributions of these influential people who enrich our city and have made a difference in the lives of others in our community. I look forward to receiving your 2107 Order of Ottawa nominations.

All public meetings will be held at Ottawa City Hall, 110 Laurier Avenue West, unless otherwise noted. For a complete agenda and updates, please sign up for email alerts or visit ottawa.ca/agendas, or call 3-1-1.

Coalition releases impact study on minimum wage hike By Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

A hike to the province’s minimum wage would cost $1,300 per household, the Keep Ontario Working Coalition said during a news conference on Aug. 14. The figure comes from a report from the Canadian Centre for Economic Analysis (CANCEA). The proposed wage hike is part of Bill 148, Fair Workplaces, Better Jobs Act. “The changes presented in Bill 148 will have dramatic, unintended consequences that include putting close to 200,000 jobs at risk and seeing everyday, consumer goods and services increase by thousands of dollars for each family in Ontario,” Karl Baldauf, vice president of policy and government relations for the Ontario Chamber of Commerce and spokesperson for the coalition, wrote in a release. “We’ve run the numbers and it’s clear this is too much, too soon. If the Ontario government chooses to proceed with these sweeping reforms too quickly, all of us will be affected, and the most vulnerable in our society chief among them,” he said. The aim in commissioning CANCEA was to measure potential impacts of six key areas of change in the bill — including changes to the minimum wage, equal pay provisions, scheduling, personal emergency leave and unionization. Baldauf said the numbers show that 185,000 jobs will be at risk as a result of the changes. He added that

it might encourage new technologies, such as self-serve checkouts, as businesses attempt to control costs. The number of job losses was calculated based on expected behaviours of Ontario businesses, the report states. Baldauf suggested the impact would be similar to that of the 2008 global recession. The report suggests the changes will represent a $23-billion challenge to businesses, in just the first two years. Kevin Flynn, the minister of labour, said the government would look at the findings of the report, but that it was just one study in a long list of studies and literature. “Bill 148 is about fairness. It’s about improving the lives of millions of Ontarians, while boosting the economy by increasing the buying power of almost 30 per cent of the population,” he wrote in a public statement. “This is why the Fair Workplaces, Better Jobs Act is supported by more than 50 independent economists.” Local businesses in the capital spoke out against the changes in May. “We are open to change that is evidence based and we know that arbitrary changes will erode an already vulnerable economy in terms of business confidence,” Sueling Ching, executive director of the West Ottawa Board of Trade said in a joint statement with the Ottawa Chamber of Commerce, the Orléans Chamber of Commerce and the Ontario chamber. The Ontario Federation of Labour released a statement on Aug. 14, say-

Jayson Mills Photo

Honourable MPP Kevin Flynn said the province will consider the CANCEA report on the impacts of rasising minimum wage, but the government is committed to fairness in the workplace. Flynn said the proposed Bill 148 is backed by more than 50 independent economists. ing there were holes in the CANCEA findings’ logic. The federation’s assertion is that the analysis fails to take into account the reduced demand on social services. “The assertions released today by the corporate lobby is inaccurate, incomplete and just not responsible,” Chris Buckley, president of the Ontario Federation of Labour, wrote in

a statement. “Every economist that we’ve consulted since the Fair Workplaces Better Jobs Act was announced points out that its measures will in fact strengthen Ontario’s economy,” said Buckley, adding many still say there is room for improvement in the legislation. Flynn said the government has no plans to back down from the pro-

posed legislation, but does recognize concerns coming from the business community. “We’ve worked hard to make sure Ontario’s business climate is competitive, and we are committed to working with the business community to bring forward initiatives that will improve our competitiveness even more,” he said.

City OK’s funding for butterfly way station at Stonecrest park By Christopher Whan christopher.whan@metroland.com

There will soon be more fluttering in Stonecrest park, as the city has approved funding for a new monarch butterfly way station (a garden built specifically for monarchs and other pollinators) which will hopefully open Sept. 10. Thanks to funding received through the city’s Community Environmental Grants program, crews have already started the initial construction that will see flora specifically chosen to help the monarchs thrive when they return in the summer. With the backing of Councillors Michael Qaqish and Jan Harder, and the Barrhaven BIA, Clare Grosskleg has been spearheading this operation with the goal to help residents in the area learn more about the little critters and, ultimately, convince the city to make Ottawa officially a monarch-friendly city. Friends Central “We’ve been of in the touch with the monarch Experimental Farm teachers network to get the best advice we can to choose the best plants for the monarchs.” Said Grosskleg. Not only can this addition be beneficial for the butterflies but also for the students of Adri-

enne Clarkson Elementary School, which is right next to the park. According to Grosskleg, teachers from the school will be implementing the monarch way station into their curriculum as an opportunity to not only teach the students about the at-risk butterfly but also to enjoy learning in an outdoor environment. None of this can be successful without help from the community, says Grosskleg. “The community is thrilled about this project,” said Grosskleg. “The more the community is involved makes a huge difference. The school benefits and everyone gets to enjoy it.” Volunteers will maintain the area and will be responsible for keeping the station in good condition, which includes fixing any vandalism that may occur. The tentative date for the official opening is Sept. 10, barring any scheduling conflicts and weather permitting. Unfortunately, the fundde la Ferme ing process took a Amis little longer than anticipated. expérimentale centrale Grosskleg was hoping to have the approval in the spring. As a result, the monarchs will be long gone south for the winter by then, but Grosskleg is hopeful that the students attending might stand in for the missing guests of honour.

Members of the Hellenic Community of Ottawa Senior Dance school perform a traditional dance from Crete at Greekfest 2017 on August 13. The festival celebrated Greek culture with traditonal food, dance and art at the HCO building on Prince of Wales Drive.

Do you have an active lifestyle or are you looking for a new jogging buddy? He’s a smart fellow who knows lots of commands and loves outdoor adventures. Scooby gets along great with children who love big, goofy dogs like him. He’d prefer to be the only dog in the home so he can have all his family’s love and attention to himself. For more information on Scooby and all the adoptable animals, stop by the OHS at 245 West Hunt Club Rd Check out our website at www.ottawahumane.ca to see photos and descriptions of the animals available for adoption.

Never Leave a Dog in a Hot Car

Who is the Special One? More than a decade ago, the Ottawa Humane Society introduced the concept of “special needs” adoptions. These were animals that were older or had a manageable condition and would, by and large, live out normal lives. These pets might require more investment in veterinary care earlier than the majority of the pets adopted from the OHS, and so the OHS began adopting them at half the normal adoption fee. Of course, the savings were largely symbolic, since for these and all pets, the cost of adoption is only a small fraction of the lifetime costs of having a pet. But the reduced fee drew attention to the animals that needed that extra push to find a home. The goal was two-fold. The OHS wanted to find forever homes for these cuties, and wanted to ensure that adopters clearly understood the additional responsibility that they were taking on. And it worked. It turned out that there were a lot of people who wanted to adopt a pet that needed them more than the others. So, here is the thing: the OHS labelled the animals as special, but it turns out that the truly special ones were the kind people who welcomed the neediest into their homes and lives.

Pet of the Week: Scooby (ID# A199648)

As we head into August, the Ottawa Humane Society is asking our community to help us make sure no dog is ever left to suffer in a hot car again. It’s only through educating our community and spreading the word that we can make sure the animals in our community are safe all summer long. The temperature inside a car can quickly climb, turning it into an oven in minutes. A dog inside will begin to pant, drool, suffer increased heart rate, vomit, have seizures and could even die. The dog’s brain may swell, he may have trouble breathing. The heat may affect all his organs, including his heart, weakening the muscle until the poor dog goes into shock. The solution? Never leave a dog in a hot car. Even a couple minutes can have grave consequences. And if you see a dog in a hot car what should you do? Remember to T.A.N. Take information. Note the make, model and licence plate number of the car, the exact location of the car and description of the dog: breed, colour, size etc. Remember that windows cracked open do not significantly reduce the internal temperature of a car. Assess the situation. How long have you been present while the dog has been in the car? Is the dog in distress? Signs of heat distress include excessive panting with the tongue fully extended, stumbling, glazed eyes, disorientation, hiding in the foot well (which is the “coolest” place in a vehicle), convulsions/seizuring, and ultimately coma and death. Notify authorities. Contact nearby stores and businesses. Ask them to make an announcement for the owner to return to their car. Get others to help you. If the dog is in distress call the Ottawa Police Service at 911. Stay on the scene to monitor the situation until the owner or help arrives.

The City is making improvements to how we bill for water, wastewater and stormwater. Beginning in 2018, residents will receive their bill in their preferred official language. Please go online to myservice.ottawa.ca, or call Revenue Services at 613-580-2444 (TTY 613-580-2401) to choose your preferred language. If you already have a My ServiceOttawa account, your bill will be sent in the official language you have selected for your account. If you would like to receive your bill in the other official language, please go online to myservice.ottawa.ca or call Revenue Services.

Meet Scooby, an active and affectionate boy looking for his new best friend. Do you work from home, have a dog-friendly job or are otherwise able to spend your day with Scooby? He’s a social boy who loves his human friends so much that he wants to be by your side at all times.

On August 10th, 2017, the Special Hockey Heroes and the community came together at the Pineview Golf Course to share stories, and introduce to the community the magic of our program. Like last year, the community did not disappoint, and attended, making our event once again a sellout. More importantly, our strong community support that trust and believe in our journey, heard our story, which in short is “Always and only about the kids.” The generous people who played, attended or donated in some way, were excited to learn that any money raised goes entirely back into the program, no salaries or honorariums to anyone.

A partnership between a local organization that helps to care for seniors and the Alzheimer’s Society can help families locate their lost loved ones. Margot Beak, who works as a business development manager for Home Instead Senior Care, said the partnership helps to provide a network to get information out quickly in the event a senior with dementia or Alzheimer’s wanders off. Home Instead Care provides nonmedical services like cleaning and companionship for seniors who want to stay in their homes. The missing-seniors link is free and connects to a pre-approved list of contacts as soon as the trigger is pulled on the website, Beak said. The site then sends alerts through the account holder’s email, Facebook and Twitter. At a police services board meeting earlier this summer, Coun. Tim Tierney floated the idea of a kind of Amber Alert for seniors. Something similar is done in many U.S. cities and helps to get the information out quickly. “Just like when children go missing, time is crucial,” Beak said. “The longer the senior is missing, the more likely they’ll become hurt.” Setting up an account is a few simple clicks and you can load a number of contacts who will receive an alert, so they can get out and search. Beak said her 94-year-old father suffers from dementia, and having the system gives her some peace of mind. Beak said the service could be made available to police or retirement homes, to share important information such as medical condition and possible search areas to help find missing people more quickly. “Alzheimer’s Society will send out the info to members in the affected areas, as well,” Beak said. For more information on the network, visit www.missingseniornetwork.com.

The Ottawa Senators announced their hometown tour on Aug 17. The tour is set to hit 12 Canadian Tire locations in eastern Ontario and western Quebec and will feature autographs from two players, games and prizes.

Ottawa Senators announce Hometown Tour 2017 By Christopher Whan

christopher.whan@metroland.com

The Ottawa Senators are set to hit towns across eastern Ontario and Western Quebec. The team announced the locations of their Hometown Tour series, which will begin Aug. 22. The tour will feature two Senators players at each location where there will be autograph sessions, interactive games, chances at prizes and more at each of the 12 stops. The caravan will make its way to the following Canadian Tire locations: • Casselman and Orléans on Aug. 22 • Renfrew and Shawville, Que., the late Bryan Murray’s hometown, on Aug. 23 • Hull and the Coventry Road store on Aug. 24 • Kingston and Perth on Aug. 29 • The Heron Road store and the

Bells Corners store on Aug. 30 • Kemptville and Carleton Place on Aug. 31 For the third year, Egg Farmers of Canada (Ontario) will be on site at all the Ontario stops to provide fans with access to recipe cards and a chance for fans to win prizes by playing Plinko. Just like last year, the Senators will be implementing a wristband policy for the autograph opportunities. A limited quantity will be made available on a first-come, first-served basis at the Canadian Tire store’s customer service desk. These will be available as of 8 a.m. (8:30 a.m. in Shawville) on the day of the tour stop. Prizes available at each of the tour stops will include tickets to Senators home games for the coming season. For more information on where the tour will be stopping and what players will be available, visit www.nhl.com/ senators/community/hometown-tour.

The Keep Ontario Working Coalition (KOW), in partnership with the Ontario Chamber of Commerce (OCC) and the West Ottawa Board of Trade released the first and only independent economic impact analysis of Bill 148, the Fair Workplaces Better Jobs Act. Conducted by the Canadian Centre for Economic Analysis (CANCEA), the study revealed that if the legislation is implemented as currently drafted, there will be significant, sudden and sizable uncertainty for Ontario jobs, economy and communities. The Orleans Chamber of Commerce, Ottawa Chamber of Commerce and West Ottawa Board of Trade are working together with the Ontario Chamber of Commerce and local stakeholders, including local Business Improvement Areas to advocate for amendments to Bill 148 that will ensure its intended outcomes. We strongly advise the government to consider the results of the economic analysis and act accordingly.

Hard to believe but we’re now into the back half of summer, 2017. Perhaps you’ve been putting off your search for that dream home but with fall just around the corner, you’ve decided it’s time to ramp things up again. There are so many factors to consider in what can seem like a confusing selection process, but we’re here to bring a little clarity to the situation. Welcome to another edition of Floor Plan 2017, a supplement in your Metroland Media community newspaper. There are so many questions to answer: would you like to live in the city, the suburbs or maybe out in the country? Of course there are the financial considerations, how much are you willing and able to spend? What type of home are you looking for, a large single family dwelling with plenty of greenspace, a bungalow, or maybe even a townhome that might require a little less maintenance? Or perhaps you’re leaning more toward a condominium in the heart of the nation’s capital? We are fortunate here in Ottawa to be home to some of this country’s top home builders. This brings a level of comfort to prospective homeowners, whether starting on a search for the first time or looking to upgrade on what they have now. Floor Plan 2017 continues to present you with key information from some of the city’s finest builders, the wide array of services they offer, as well as additional information to assist you in your new home purchasing venture. And be sure to look for more ideas in our next Floor Plan supplement on Thursday, September 21.

2 Floor Plan - Thursday, August 24, 2017

GrowinG trends in today’s homes outdoor entertaining areas are popular among homeowners, and firepits are one of the most sought after additions to such spaces. In fact, a 2016 survey from the landscape architects found that fireplaces and firepits were the most popular outdoor design element in 2016. Various styles are available to homeowners who want to add firepits to their backyards, and choosing the right type may come down to budget, the amount of yard space available or even personal preference. • Wood firepit: As their name suggests, wood firepits burn wood, which may appeal to homeowners who already have wood-burning fireplaces inside their homes. Because they don’t require homeowners to tap into gas lines, wood firepits are generally easy to set up and install, and many homeowners prefer the aesthetic appeal of crackling wood and flames that’s synonymous with wood firepits. • Gas firepit: Gas firepits are touted for their convenience, as they don’t require homeowners to carry wood and build fires. Upon being connected to a gas source, gas firepits provide fire at the click of a switch. Gas firepits are also appreciated for their safety, as there is little or no risk that flames from gas firepits will grow too large and become difficult to control. • Gas fire tables: Gas fire tables might be ideal for those homeowners whose sense of

decor favors more modern looks. Gas fire tables come in a variety of shapes and sizes and, like gas firepits, there’s no need to struggle with lighting a fire or carrying firewood. • Tabletop firepits: Homeowners, condominium or apartment dwellers with limited backyard space may want to consider the convenience of tabletop firepits. Restaurants may use tabletop firepits in their outdoor seating areas because they provide warmth and ambiance without taking up much

space. Tabletop firepits fueled by gas will not need to be connected to a gas source, which may appeal to consumers who want something that’s simple as well as small. • Fire urns: While they might not technically qualify as firepits, fire urns provide a similar effect as firepits. Fire urns are typically gaspowered and may be an ideal choice for homeowners who are looking for a unique, aweinspiring feature for their outdoor entertaining areas.

what is a smart home?

refrigerators that inform their owners when it’s time to buy more eggs and thermostats that learn homeowners heating and cooling preferences may have once seemed like futuristic ideas straight out of a sci-fi movie.

However, such products are no longer a dream but a reality. The term “smart home” refers to a residence that has appliances, HVAC, lighting, entertainment systems, security, and many more devices that communicate with one another. Such devices can be controlled remotely, according to SmartHomeUSA, an automation product retailer. Proponents of smart home technology say features can help people save money on utilities and conserve natural resources, all the while providing peace of mind to homeowners. In 2016, 80 million smart home devices were delivered worldwide. That marks a 64 percent increase from 2015, according to the research data firm IHS Markit. The smart home trend is only expected to grow in coming years. Although there’s interest in smart home technology, the industry remains fragmented. Consumers are trying to figure out which

devices are simply fun and which provide practical benefits. Furthermore, the range of smart devices is expanding rapidly, making potential compatability issues a concern. Companies that plan to educate consumers further about the advantages of smart home features and are open to standardization may have the best chances of survival. Those interested in dabbling in some smart home technology and testing the waters may want to start with the following household items. • Smart bulbs: Manufacturers offer various types of smart light bulbs. Some are colorchanging, others react to doorbells or alarms, and others can simulate typical lighting patterns when homeowners are away. Integrated apps enable remote access to scheduling so people can arrive home to a well-lit house. • Home security: Wi-Fi enabled doorbells with

video capabilities allow residents to see who is at the door without having to open it. Cameras can even be accessed remotely, simulating that someone is at home at all times. Never wonder if you’ve locked the door again with smart locks that can be engaged via a smartphone. Make sure that homes are secured or that pets are behaving while out with smart cameras. • Flood sensor: Get peace of mind against damaging floods with Wi-Fi flood sensors. • Appliances: A new breed of smart appliances can make it possible for users to turn on the washing machine while out of the house, close refrigerator doors from afar or even start their vacuum cleaners remotely. Smart technology is taking over and is likely to continue changing the way people live and work.

The house would be hopping when relatives came to visit

other never seemed to be concerned about the number of people who would descend on our farm to spend the weekend. Goodness knows there wasn’t much sleeping room, with only four beds in the whole house to put down the seven of us in our own family! It wasn’t unusual for three or four carloads of relations to arrive at the same time, and Mother greeted them with open arms, and as suitcase after suitcase was unloaded, you didn’t have to be the sharpest knife in the drawer to know they planned on staying overnight! This onslaught of visitors usually came when Mother’s brother, Uncle Lou, was arriving from New York. Father would say it was like someone had sent out a carrier pigeon with the news to our relatives in Montreal, Ottawa, and sometimes even as far away as St. Catharines, that Uncle Lou was coming, and that was all it took.

MARY COOK Memories Aunt Vanetta, Uncle Johnny, Aunt Lil, Uncle Dick, and my cousin Richard would be the first to arrive from Ottawa, and always they brought dinner rolls, a store-bought cake from the bakery and bags of oranges and bananas. Aunt Vanetta, who I thought was the picture of the Queen, came wearing a fancy hat, and it never left her head, except when she sat down for a meal. As aunts, uncles and cousins arrived I would wonder where everyone was going to sleep. But that seemed to be the least of Mother’s worries. We younger ones would be bedded down crossways in a bed. Sometimes as many as five or six of us, and of

course, Aunt Vanetta and Uncle Johnny got Mother and Father’s bed, being the most senior of the visitors. Meals were served right from the stove, everyone loading his or her plate, and heading for a chair either inside, or out in the grape arbour. And the old Findlay Oval fair jumped all weekend, with the oven full of roasts or chickens, and with potatoes and vegetables cooked in the preserving kettles instead of the pots we usually used. Once the supper meal was cleared away, the real festivities began. Mother, Grandfather and Mother’s brothers, sang at the top of their lungs, and to me it sounded just like a choir coming off the movie screen I once saw in the O’Brien theatre in Renfrew. And as the evening wore on, they were spurred on by the tumblers of homemade brew Father brought up from the cellar. Where they came from, I had no idea, but sometime during the early

.com

evening, my brother Everett would go outside with the older cousins, and put up two large tents. There were no cots or beds inside, but feather covers and quilts would be used for mattresses, and sometime during the night, the overflow would wander out, find a spot to lie down, and settle in for a few hours sleep. The next day, the party would start all over again. To me, having car loads of relatives come for a weekend, was even better than a trip into the Renfrew fair! On Sunday, of course, Aunt Vanetta would insist on being driven into Renfrew for mass. And again, the music and singing would start. I would find a place to sit where I could watch my mother, her brothers and Grandpa with their voices raised in song, and I would think we were the luckiest family in the entire world. Such talent, I would think. I dreaded when it was time for

them to pack up their cars and head out. They wouldn’t go empty-handed. The back seats in the cars would be filled with trussed-up chickens, meat from the smoke house, potatoes and vegetables from the garden, and Father would make sure that each car went out the lane with a bottle of his homemade brew. The tents would be down, and long after they were gone, I could hear voices in my head. It took a few days to put the house back in order, and all that was left to remind us of their visit, were a couple bananas and an orange. But best of all, Mother would be humming and full of joy, and for those few days, her longing for her beloved New York would be forgotten. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

CITY OF OTTAWA NOTICE OF APPLICATION OF AN OFFICIAL PLAN AND ZONING BY-LAW AMENDMENT In accordance with Sections 22(6.4)(a) and 34(10.7)(a) of the Planning Act, notice is hereby provided that an Official Plan amendment and Zoning By-law amendment proposal is being considered by the Planning, Infrastructure and Economic Development Department at the City of Ottawa. LANDS SUBJECT TO THE PROPOSAL The Official Plan and Zoning By-law amendment proposal affects the 21-acre site at the addresses of 930 Carling Avenue and 520 Preston Street. The site is bound by Carling Avenue to the north, Prince of Wales Drive to the east, and is loosely bound by the National Capital Commission Scenic Driveway to the south and Maple Drive to the east. The O Train line bisects the eastern part of the site. PURPOSE AND EFFECT OF THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT The Official Plan Amendment has been initiated in order to accommodate the development on the site of a new campus for the Ottawa Civic Hospital. Currently, a five-acre portion of the subject lands are designated by the City’s Official Plan as ‘Agricultural Research Area.’ An Official Plan amendment is required to re-designate the lands from ‘Agricultural Research Area’ to ‘General Urban Area’ and to remove the site from the boundary of the Central Experimental Farm on Schedule B of the Official Plan. An accompanying Zoning By-law amendment has been initiated to align the zoning of the subject site with the development of a new campus for The Ottawa Hospital. FURTHER INFORMATION To view the application or any information or materials related to the application, please contact the undersigned planner, or go to Ottawa.ca/devapps and input the File Number D01-01-17-0016 or D02-02-17-0075 in the “Search” criteria, to access any related plans, studies or reports. Or visit: www.ottawa.ca/newhospital SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS The City of Ottawa would like to receive any comments concerning this proposal. Please forward comments to the undersigned planner via mail, telephone, facsimile or e-mail by September 15, 2017. Comments received will be considered in the evaluation of the proposal. If you wish to be notified of the decision of Council on the proposed Official Plan and Zoning By-law amendments you must make a written request to the City of Ottawa. If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting or make written submissions to the City of Ottawa before the proposed Official Plan amendment is adopted, the person or public body is not entitled to appeal the decision of the Council of the City of Ottawa to the Ontario Municipal Board. If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting or make written submissions to the City of Ottawa before the proposed Official Plan and Zoning By-law amendments are adopted, the person or public body may not be added as a party to the hearing of an appeal before the Ontario Municipal Board unless, in the opinion of the Board, there are reasonable grounds to add the person or public body as a party.

Local artists design pieces for LRT stations Melissa Murray mmurray@metroland.com

Out of 154 artists who put their names forward to create artwork for the city’s new light rail transit stations, 59 artists or teams were from Ottawa. The call for artists went out nationwide and those chosen are from Vancouver, Montreal, Calgary, Toronto, Kingston, and Chelsea and Wakefield in west Quebec. Two of those picked for artwork that will be incorporated directly into the station designs are from Ottawa. Those local artists are preparing their works for Bayview and Lees stations. Amy Alice Thompson, who lives two blocks away from Pimisi station, will be working on an east-end station — Lees. “I was interested in exploring public art when the call went out and knew it was something I would enjoy. I realized it was going to be very tough competition, so I worked extremely hard on my proposal,” Thompson said in an email. “I work in collage and mixed media and wanted to create a multilayered piece. To do this, I am using a series of folded metal birds along the (multi-use pathway) wall as well as 90 metres of printed glass along the westbound platform.” Her work is called Transparent Passage and will cost $295,000 to design, produce, fabricate and install. Chinatown resident Adrian Goll-

ner’s Bayview work, entitled As the Crow Flies, will cost $495,000. It’s a 120-metre line drawing made of steel rails that combines the rooflines of Mechanicsville, the Canadian War Museum and Supreme Court, a silhouette of the Gatineau Hills and the flight pattern of a crow. The work will serve as an intertrack barrier along the full length of the station’s interior. “I’ve done a number of public art commissions and it was a big opportunity,” Gollner said of creating the work for the largest of the LRT stations. “At first I was thinking, ‘Wow I got one,’ and then I realized I got one of the biggest stations. It has bike routes, the O-Train — everything converges at Bayview — it’s a large facility.” The approved design wasn’t Gollner’s first idea. It evolved after talking with the station’s engineers and designers. Every time something about the station changed, so did the art. “It’s a big undertaking and to make work for what is really quite lovely architecture is always a treat and a challenge.” In 1995, Gollner worked on a public art project for the Walkley Transitway station. He said the Bayview pieces will be an important part of way-finding through the transit system. “If you can imagine someone sort of nodding off at the end of the day on the bus or train, they need some sort of visual cue that

they are at their place, and public art takes you out of the everyday. It makes you look around and see things somewhat differently and hopefully that’s what this is going to accomplish.” Wakefield resident cj fleury will work on the LRT’s most easterly station, Blair. “The works will give a unique sense to each spot, building identity,” she said. Recently, the city unveiled the renderings of public art pieces that will appear in each of the Stage 1 stations. All of the transit line’s artwork will cost more than $7 million. There will also be non-integrated Submitted art pieces at some of the stations, like at Pimisi. And there are a hand- Amy Alice Thompson, who lives two blocks away from Pimisi station, will ful of Ottawa artists involved in be working on an east-end station – Lees. Her work is called Transparent those projects as well, according to Passage and will cost $295,000 to design, produce, fabricate and install. the city. The Pimisi station has a targeted mandate toward Algonquin Anishinabeg artists. Nadia Myre, Kitigan Zibi AnisSchool Trustee - Zone 7 hanabeg from Montreal, is working on three integrated pieces, an eightOttawa Carleton District foot eel, a sculpture of a basket and a glazed panel birch tree windSchool Board screen.

7 Tips for Entrepreneurs – The Sequel CONNECT. Meeting new people, creating rapport, building trust relationships, asking for support and looking for ways to support others; this is the definition of connecting. When you are consistently connecting you are exposed to new ideas, information and opportunities. You can learn from others, share best practices and create energy and excitement for your business and your community. Networking is not a one time activity. The true payoff comes from creating a habit of connecting, being open and positive about the value of others.

PROTECT YOUR PRIMARY ASSET. And that asset is YOU! What insurance policy or process do you have in place if something happens to you? Now ask, how well do you take care of yourself. Traditionally, business owners live in their business and that is unstandable because there is a lot at stake. However, the biggest risk is not being able to support your business at all. To be anything less than your best physically, mentally and emotionally will result in opportunity costs and draw out or eliminate your ultimate success. Create a healthy living plan that will support your business and life goals including nutrition, exercise, sleep and managing stress. Schedule it in as you would any important client meeting or event. This strategy falls into the important vs. urgent category and will pay off big for your business.

Pictured top: The art at the new St. Laurent station was designed by Andrew Morrow from Chelsea, Quebec. Seen here is one of the 3 large murals painted by the artist that will depict re-imagined Canadian histories.

GO FOR IT! Your mindset is one of the big 3 pillars for your success (along with habits and skills).

Pictured bottom: The installation at Trembley station is called National Garden and is an imaginary landscape composed of the official flowers from each Canadian province, territory and the City of Ottawa. It was designed by Jyhling Lee from Toronto.

If you think you can, you can. If you think you can’t, you can’t. Cultivate a mindset that is condusive to your success. Your mind is the same as your body, it is only as healthy as what you put in it. Your mind is most open to influence early in the morning and late at night so those are great times to schedule in reading, podcasts and other training. By the same token, protect your mind when you get up and when you go to bed. Eliminate those things that are not productive including negativity, judgement and lack of ownership. Be selective about the company you keep. Remember, you are the sum of the 5 people you spend the most time with. This story emphasizes the power of your mind.

An old Cherokee chief was teaching his grandson about life . . .”A fight is going on inside me,” he said to the boy. “It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is evil - he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, selfdoubt, and ego. The other is good - he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. This same fight is going on inside you and inside every other person, too.” The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, “Which wolf will win?” The old chief simply replied, “The one you feed.”
