blair.edwards@metroland.com

Police say the city’s first homicide of the year was a targeted gang-related slaying, after a 27-year-old

male was found shot to death in a south-end rowhouse on Feb. 6.

Police have identified the victim as Yusuf Ibrahim.

“We can confirm that he is a known gang member and has past involvement with the Ottawa police in relation to gang activity,” said Ottawa police Chief Charles Bordeleau.

“We’ve made no secrets about our ambitions. We want to be one of the top academies in Canada, not just in Ottawa,” notes OSU Technical Director Paul Harris, a past academy coach for Everton FC of the English Premier League. “I feel that this technical staff has the right blend of experience throughout Canada and abroad to continue to advance player development and help the club achieve these high standards.”

Amongst the additions to this year’s staff is former Canadian national team player Danielle Vella.

OSU is also very proud to have many loyal coaches who have been with the club since its inception over 10 years ago, as well as a number of former players who have joined the coaching ranks.

“That shows the camaraderie of the staff and that they’re on the same page,” Harris indicates.

OSU’s coaches boast an impressive list of credentials across the board, including five who have a National ‘B’ licence or higher – Harris (UEFA ‘A’), Craig Stead (National ‘B’ & USSF Youth), Paul Turner (National ‘B’), Simon Wilshaw (UEFA ‘B’) and Abe Osman (National ‘B’) – along with other accomplished leaders such as Russell Shaw, a back-toback winner of Ottawa’s first-ever Ontario Youth Soccer League championships in 2013 and 2014.

“For an amateur club, that’s a fantastic achievement,” underlines Harris, one of five full-time coaches who lead OSU’s popular programs, including its Centre of Excellence. “What I love about OSU is the hunger that’s always there to keep moving forward and achieve the best that we possibly can.”

Ottawa police are investigating the city’s first homicide of the year after a male in his 20s was shot to death in his rowhouse in the 100-block of Forestglade Crescent near Hunt Club Road on Feb. 6.

Police chief talks to residents Continued from page 1

The day of the shooting, Bordelau visited and spoke with residents of the Hunt Club Park neighbourhood.

“These types of targeted events are very concerning to the community,” said Bordeleau in a press release.

“I understand those concerns and I assured them that preventing and investigating these types of acts are a top priority for our service and our investigators are focused on finding those responsible.”

Witnesses who live in the area called 911 at 9:32 a.m. after hearing gunshots com-

ing from inside the home in the 100-block of Forestglade Crescent near Hunt Club Road.

Paramedics arrived a few minutes later and began treatment of the victim, who was suffering “traumatic injuries,” said J.P. Trottier, spokesman for the Ottawa Paramedic Service.

“Several minutes later he was pronounced dead by paramedics,” said Trottier.

The Ottawa police major crime unit is investigating with the support of the guns and gangs unit, said Ottawa police Insp. Michel Marin/ Erik Kim, who lives near

the rowhouse where the incident took place, said he was surprised to learn about the shooting.

“If it’s gunfire it should be pretty loud,” said Kim. “But I never heard anything.”

Residents in the area said they were shocked to hear about the shooting death, adding that the area is a quiet community with no history of gun violence.

“It’s always, always quiet,” said Lauren W., who did not wish to give her last name.

“So it’s unusual to hear about gunfire. This is a very childfriendly neighbourhood.”

An elderly woman, who was found unresponsive by firefighters after they began fighting a fire at her South Keys home on Feb. 7, is being remembered by her neighbours as kind and involved in her community.

“She was very intelligent, involved in the community, as well,” said one woman, a neighbour, who asked not to be identified due to privacy concerns.

“She stayed active. I know until last year she was still going to the gym and (was) part of the groups that she was part of.

“She would have us over for tea and things like that,” she said of her neighbour, whom she identified only as Geraldine.

A reverse search on Canada411. ca lists a resident of the address at 3340 Kodiak St. as G. Gilliss. Police officials have notified the woman’s next-of-kin but would not confirm her identity on Monday.

Investigators from the Ottawa police arson unit, the provincial Office of the Fire Marshal and Ottawa Fire Services were on scene Sunday and were expected to be there until midweek sifting through debris to determine the cause of the fire, which officials suspect started at the back of the house where the victim’s body was found.

The fire caused an estimated $450,000 in damages to the structure and contents.

Ottawa police confirmed the arson unit was involved in the investigation, but that “(the fire) doesn’t appear to be suspicious at this time,” said Const. Marc Soucy, Ottawa police spokesman.

Neighbours said Gilliss lived alone at her home after the death of her husband several years ago. She didn’t have children of her own, but was believed to have stepchildren.

Gilliss lived in her Kodiak Street bungalow since at least the 1970s.

Gilliss’ neighbour said she was feeding her young children when she heard someone pounding on the elderly woman’s door just before 7 p.m. on Saturday. She asked her husband to go outside and see if everything was OK. “That doesn’t sound right: you know, banging and banging,” she recalled. “It took her a while to get to the door anyways.”

Peter Bonev, who lives across the street, was pounding on Gilliss’ door to alert her about the smoke and

flames spreading through the home.

“We had a lady come up to (our) house. She knocked on our door and she said there was a fire at the house across the street,” said Bonev, who dialed 911 and was told firefighters were already on their way.

“We tried the doors. The doors were locked, of course,” he said.

“There were no lights on at the house at all, and she usually, at times, would have lights on in the evenings, so we weren’t sure if anyone was at home or not. But we were banging like mad.”

That’s when fire crews, paramedics and police arrived and took over the scene.

Firefighters immediately called in additional fire crews and began attacking the flames and searching the premises.

“They found the victim (whose) vital signs were absent on that initial primary search,” said Assistant Deputy Fire Chief Sean Tracey.

“They had to withdraw from the structure due to the collapsing roof and heavy flames, and did a defensive attack on the outside.”

A secondary search of the premises was then conducted.

“We confirmed it was only the one elderly woman that was found,” Tracey said.

Firefighters were concerned the flames would spread to neighbouring homes, and police officers requested residents living on either side of the burning residence to vacate their premises as a precaution.

Bonev didn’t know his neighbour, and suspects she had mobility issues that prevented her from getting around easily.

“We have been here for 12 years and I never saw her outside in the last two, three years at all,” he said, adding that he regularly saw a landscaper working at the property. “I

think there was some mobility (limitations).”

Gilliss’ neighbours said she was in her late 70s or early 80s – not in her 90s as has been widely reported – and mostly kept to herself.

“She was elderly, so it’s not like she was out walking the streets,” the woman said.

Fire officials are awaiting the results of a post-mortem examination to learn the victim’s cause of death and whether she perished in the blaze.

Investigators will also try to determine if there were working smoke alarms in the home.

“But the woman was elderly. It proves that people really need to be capable of self-evacuation,” Tracey said.

It’s the third death Ottawa fire officials have investigated in less than a month.

On Jan. 13, an elderly Barrhaven couple was found dead in their homes after fire broke out.

“Modern house construction, modern content fires burn hotter, faster, quicker and are more deadly than they were even just 20 years ago, and that’s because of the nature of the contents we have in our homes,” he said referring to the prevalence of plastic-based products, which burn quickly and contribute to the speed in which fires spread.

“All three fatalities we have this year are all elderly people who may have had issues or problems with self-evacuation, mobility issues,” Tracey said, adding that it’s critical that people know they have as little as a minute and a half to get out of their burning home after their smoke alarm goes off.

“Make sure you have an evacuation plan and you practise it,” he said. “Make sure you have two ways out.”

The news of Gilliss’ death ricocheted throughout the neigbourhood. A resident of a large apartment

Speed limit plan poorly-hatched

S

peed kills, but stupidity runs rampant.

The province is considering blanket legislation that would reduce the speed limit on many Ontario roads from 50 kilometres per hour to 40 km/h.

If slower traffic is the goal, a law changing speed limits is laughable.

Traffic experts with the city of Ottawa regularly attend community meetings where they try and explain that lowering a speed limit on any given street will have little or no impact, yet the public often clamours for reduced limits, thinking a number on a sign will solve speeding issues.

Telling people what speed to drive when their surroundings tell them it’s safe to drive faster is a fool’s game, and this in an age of shorter stopping distances (hello anti-lock brakes) and technology that can alert drivers to potential collisions.

The city has tried a number of ways to slow drivers. Some work well, but are expensive, such as narrowing roads with sections of wider sidewalks, called bulb outs. Visually narrowing traffic lanes has

been tried, with white lines painted a metre or so from the edge of a roadway. The lines give drivers the impression that there is less room for them to fit their car, forcing them to concentrate on the road and slow a little bit.

Parked cars prompt slower driving, too – no one wants to drift into a parked vehicle. Flexible posts mounted along the centre line of some residential roads has been tried as part of a city pilot project. Yet politicians are swayed by calls for lower speed limits when voters demand them, despite having evidence that numbers on signs won’t make a difference.

Is it the Nanny State at work? Of course.

But it could be worse. We could force drivers to have a servant walk before their cars carrying a large flag. The servant could shoo away any errant urchins who tarry near the roadway. Imagine how much safer we could all be.

The public should rise up and demand that any politician who denies such flagmen doesn’t care about public safety. It’s as sane an argument as lowering speed limits.

There’s been a spate of bad publicity lately, some beastly behaviour by parents in particular.

Every incident is widely publicized and if you haven’t been at an arena lately you’d get the impression that nothing exists there except bad sportsmanship and foul temper.

It’s not like some of that publicity isn’t deserved. Last month there was considerable attention given to a league on Vancouver Island where consideration was given to banning parents from games after some of them became abusive. A lot of people thought that wasn’t a good

Meanwhile, it should be said that there are thousands of arenas across the country where nothing bad happens. The kids go out there and enjoy themselves, fall down, get up, try to imitate their NHL heroes, and they shake hands after the game. In tournaments, they even shake hands with the opposing coaches.

And in the stands, the parents chat, cheer a goal or a good save, even by the opposing goalie. The referees do their job seemingly invisibly, because no one is taking critical notice of what they do.

On the bench, the coaches don’t yell at the players. Instead they give them a pat on the back when they come off the ice after a shift. (Although now coaches in a Toronto minor hockey league are being told that they cannot pat girl players on the back. This is an entirely different topic, but it does indicate again how seriously hockey is taken.)

The good coaches, and there are lots of them, teach the young boys and girls about winning, about being good teammates and about being good sports. For the most part, it works. Visit one of the city’s big arenas during a minor hockey tournament and you will see far more smiles than tears, hear for more encouragement than cursing.

It is true that as the age-level increases and the skill level with it, the stakes grow higher. It is natural for all players to think they will play in the NHL, less natural for EDITORIAL MANAGING EDITOR: 4HERESA &RITZ

OPINION

Connected to your community

Are you loving? Check your heart Day. It’s not the same kind of stress people experience at Christmas, but it does have the unnerving effect of bringing one’s love life sharply into focus.

Those who are single, divorced or separated often feel compelled to examine relationships past.

Those who are coupled may, for at least a fleeting moment, pause to wonder if they’re loved and loving well.

If you really want to know how things are going, you may want to check your pulse. As it turns out, the heart really is connected to love. In fact, how we behave and, in turn, feel in company with others affects our entire physiology and can have a huge impact on our relationships.

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse

The first trick is to stay calm. If you’re existing in a state of arousal, (not sexual), when in company with your love – sweating, heart racing – it’s going to make staying together very difficult. When we’re under stress, chemicals like testosterone and cortisol spike and put us into a fight-or-flight response. We respond to the people around us as though they are a threat to our very existence.

In the 1970s, with divorce rates suddenly spiking, social scientists wanted to deter-

mine the secret to longevity in relationships. In what became the foundations of Gottman’s methods for couples’ therapy, a team of researchers led by psychologist John Gottman brought in a number of couples and hooked them up to electrodes.

As they interviewed couples about things like conflict, positive memories they shared, and how they met, the researchers were able to measure each individual’s blood flow, pulse and sweat production. They followed

Councillors ask for public input Continued from page 5

Councillors, police community officers and city staff walked along the path with residents in order to get a sense from them what the main issues are. “It’s one thing for me to make recommendations, but it’s important to get feedback from the people that use this bridge day in and day out,� said Stuart Benson, a safety advisor with the city who is conducting the audit.

The main concern from residents echoed London’s worry about the fact that there is a section of the path that is completely isolated from sight that runs parallel with the creek.

John Sankey, the president

of the Hunt Club Community Organization, suggested trimming the hedges that run along the section of pathway. “It will greatly reduce the feelings of insecurity,� he said.

Residents also voiced concerns over snow removal, some dark areas and a lack of railings in other parts.

The councillors are going to hold a second walkthrough with residents in the spring, to observe how foliage will affect the path. Benson will then use the public input and his own observations to draft a report recommending what needs to be done to the bridge. “We’re going to look at everything. Nothing is off the table,� he said. “We haven’t come here with a pre-con-

ceived list of recommendations.�

Brockington’s office had heard dozens of complaints concerning safety on the bridge since it opened in November, after years of delays. “Even though I’ve received a lot of feedback from residents by email and phone, I wanted to give all residents an opportunity to come out tonight, walk the pathways with staff here, and ensure we exhaust all issues,� he said. “From various perspectives, there are different issues.

What I consider safe, may not be considered safe for a single woman walking alone.�

Any residents unable to attend either walkthrough can submit comments to either councillor’s office.

up with the subjects six years later to see if they were still married.

Based on the physiological tests, the researchers made a clear connection between physical symptoms and marital breakdown.

They concluded that the body’s physical responses are often a reflection of our mental and emotional state.

Researchers found those subjects with high states of arousal were more likely to demonstrate the following toward their partners: criticism, defensiveness, stonewalling and contempt.

Gottman boldly went onto say that the above four things were the biggest predictors of divorce.

Fortunately, there are antidotes to these relationship killers. Gottman, now a professor emeritus at the University of Washington, has become well-known in the world of family counselling

It’s easy to take this for granted dayto-day, but being gentle, considerate and offering small acts of generosity can go a long way to strengthening relationships.

At the top of the list, practice kindness. It may seem simple, but when you are interacting with your spouse, friends, children, even coworkers, are you actually being kind?

It’s easy to take this for granted day-to-day, but being gentle, considerate and offering small acts of gen-

erosity can go a long way to strengthening relationships.

Admire each other and focus on the positive. Gottman’s early study found that divorce was predictable when one in the couple failed to support and celebrate good things in a partner’s life, like a promotion or a win.

Focusing on the negative is breeding ground for contempt, one of Gottman’s relationship killers. Instead, check yourself when you start to criticize and see if you can look for ways to build up and value the people around you instead.

This Valentine’s Day, I’m going to forego chocolate and flowers.

In fact, I may even skip the holiday altogether and go to Winterlude.

But I am going tame my heart, to make sure it’s helping, not hindering me in my current relationships.

Alta Vista, Overbrook residents applaud Coventry bridge opening Opening of $12M bridge over Highway 417 on time and on budget: mayor Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Alta Vista and Overbrook residents are applauding Monday’s opening of the Coventry Pedestrian and Cycling Bridge, which they say will provide an important and safe link between their communities.

The $12-million covered walkway spans Highway 417 between the Via Rail train station and the future site of the Tremblay Light Rail Transit Station – both to the south – and north to the Ottawa Baseball Stadium in Overbrook, home of the new Ottawa Champions Canadian American professional league baseball team.

Given the constraints Eastway Gardens residents have

faced with the closure of the Belfast Road to Coventry Road bridge last May, the new span will give residents south of the Queensway more routes to choose from, said Kim Lamont, president of the Eastway Gardens Community Association, representing homeowners in the small community where streets are named for letters of the alphabet.

“Originally, we felt we didn’t need it, but with construction and losing the Belfast to Conventry bridge for some time, this will help,” she said.

“So the new (pedestrian) bridge will help with walking until we’re back up and running with the Belfast to Coventry (bridge),” Lamont said. “So it gives us even more options.”

Overbrook residents on the north side of the highway say they now have a safer and easier route to access important amenities on the south side.

“To me, it’s a great trans-

train station,” said Rawlson King, president of the Overbrook Community Association. “And it’s also in close proximity to the Trainyards shopping centre.”

King and his wife live a block away from the north entrance to the pedestrian bridge, but have had to drive the around to the Trainyards, in large part due to the closure of the Belfast Road bridge.

“This definitely makes that (shopping area) much more accessible for people, so you could take your bike and be there in a matter of minutes and not worry about taking that (Vanier Parkway) bridge, which is frankly more of a dangerous right-of-way due to all the traffic on the bridge,” King said.

The new pedestrian route will be part of a larger transportation network that will be especially useful for cyclists, he added.

“You’ll be able to get from downtown right to the Trainyards very easily and safely.”

Now that Overbrook is home to a new Can Am league baseball team, the pedestrian bridge has the potential to alleviate traffic and parking issues in the community on game days at the 10,000-seat stadium, especially once the

LRT line is operational and people can get off at the future Tremblay Station on the south side.

“So just in case they ever fill the stadium … it’s a lot of stress in this area, so I think it makes sense for the amount of money that was spent and for the multiple purposes that it serves,” said King.

“You’ll be able to get from downtown right to the Trainyards very easily and safely.”

Rawson King, president, Overbrook Community Association

Alta Vista Coun. Jean Cloutier said the bridge is a “wonderful addition” to the city’s transportation network, particularly for the Eastway Gardens community which he said was impacted with the Belfast Road bridge closure.

“I know I am personally looking forward to using the bridge to attend an Ottawa Champions baseball game starting in May,” he added.

Monday’s opening of the

structure marks “an important completion of a really key connection between Alta Vista and Rideau-Rockcliffe – both sides of the 417,” said Rideau-Rockcliffe Coun.

Tobi Nussbaum prior to the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

“And clearly this bridge is going to add a really important link to the city’s growing cycling and pedestrian network, (which is) really critical to helping Ottawa to become even more of a pedestrian- and cycling-friendly city.”

According to city officials, the span will link people to the city’s larger cycling and pedestrian network, including multi-use pathways on Tremblay and Coventry roads.

The bridge, which features heated stairs and accessible ramps on both sides, was built on time and on budget, said Mayor Jim Watson, who was joined at the grand opening celebration by Deputy Mayor Bob Monette, Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury, whose ward is located nearby, and David Gourlay, president of the Ottawa Champions Baseball Club.

The span was funded through a cash allowance as part of the Confederation Line construction project.

Police seek public’s help to ID Bank Street robbery suspect

A lone male suspect in his early 20s is wanted by Ottawa police robbery investigators after they say he robbed a bank on Bank Street at Cecil Avenue, north of Heron Road, the morning of Feb. 5. ble, and the banks do a very good job of minimizing what (suspects) actually get out with,” he said.

Eyewitnesses at the scene described the suspect as an aboriginal male in his early 20s who is five-foot-nine.

He was wearing a beige jacket, a dark coloured sweatshirt and tan work-style boots.

The robbery unit is hoping someone can identify the suspect based on “high-quality” images taken from the bank’s video camera system.

“We’ve got a pretty good facial image, so we’re looking for someone to give us a name and that’ll kick start the investigation in a big way,” Haarbosch said.

The majority of the dozen banks that have been robbed

so far this year have been in the downtown area.

There have also been three bank robberies in Orléans and at least two in the south end.

“We’ve got some that we believe are linked, without getting into specifics at this point, but we think at this point we’ve got multiple suspects involved,” Haarbosch said.

He said he believes the suspects responsible for those crimes operated on their own, “but I can’t be certain at this point.”

Anyone with information on the case is asked to call the Ottawa police robbery unit at 613-236-1222, ext.

5116, or call in anonymous tips to Crime Stoppers at 613-233-8477.

A lone male suspect is wanted by Ottawa police robbery investigators after a Bank Street bank was allegedly robbed on Feb. 5 – Ottawa’s 12th bank robbery of 2015.

In hopes the public can help them “kick start” their investigation, on Feb. 9 police released images of the suspect taken from video cameras inside the bank branch, located in the 1500block of Bank Street near Cecil Avenue, north of Heron Road.

“The suspect produced a note making a demand for cash,” Staff Sgt. Michael Haarbosch, head of the robbery unit, said in a statement.

“The suspect was provided an undisclosed quantity of money and the male then fled on foot. There were no injuries.”

Investigators typically withhold the amount of money stolen during robberies to protect the integrity of their investigations.

Haarbosch declined to say whether a significant amount of money was taken.

No weapon was produced during the incident, and Haarbosch said the branch employees did everything right in complying with the suspect’s demands.

“The goal is always to give them what they want, follow their direction, get them in and out as quickly as possi-

OC Transpo Tour On February 2nd I attended a Transit Services information session at OC Transpo headquarters to learn about the inner workings of our public transportation service. As Vice-Chair of the Transit Commission I am very interested in learning how OC Transpo works on and off the roads, and found it to be a very educational experience.

Here are some interesting numbers I would like to share with you: OC Transpo services 100 million passengers every year, which is almost six times the number of customers that visit Disney’s Magic Kingdom in a year. The Confederation Line is expected to have the highest ridership light-rail line in North America, with a 10,700 passenger capacity/hour/direction. OC Transpo buses travel 64 million kilometres per year on 5,584 km of routes. That is the same distance as from Ottawa to Paris, France.

Youth Engagement Committee On February 3rd the Ottawa Youth Engagement Committee (OYEC) hosted a Meet and Greet reception which I was happy to attend. The OYEC helps to engage today’s youth within their community while providing information on healthy living, arts, culture, employment and more. I was pleased to see the talented youth of Ward 22 in action. Without a doubt these residents, like Sam Turgeon-Brabazon, have a bright future ahead and are community leaders who work to make our city great. I look forward to working with the Committee in the future. For more information on the OYEC, please visit www. ottawa.ca/en/ott-youth.

Open House Discussion I would like to personally thank everyone who attended the Open House discussion held on January 31st at Moncion’s Independent Grocer. There was a great turn-out and we received some excellent feedback on the environmental assessment phase for the O-Train extension to Bowesville Road, and local municipal issues.

Leaving a legacy for film, animation fans to enjoy Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Rule number one for serious collectors: don’t throw anything away.

What began as a childhood passion for drawing cartoons and collecting comic books has, almost 60 years later, developed into what Peter Adamakos believes could be the largest private collection of animation and movie memorabilia in Canada, with well over 100,000 items, many of them

rare, signed original pieces.

“Just the (animation) art work alone we’ve got about 75,000 (items),” said Adamakos.

“When people know you like these things, instead of just recycling, (they’ll say) ‘Do you want these old movie magazines from the ’50s?’”

His Hunt Club home is dotted with just a small portion of his collection – thousands of items are safely stored off site.

Old metal film canisters line one wall in his kitchen, some of

them dating back to the silent film days.

Others feature Disney movie trailers.

A few movie posters on a bedroom wall advertise such film classics as E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial and Gone with the Wind. A Star Wars movie poster advertises the Revenge of the Jedi before the film was renamed Return of the Jedi.

Others depict Mickey Mouse in Disney’s Fantasia.

Decades of effort have gone into amassing the collection, through which Adamakos has found tremendous joy since he was a child with visions of following in the footsteps of iconic animator Walt Disney.

But now he’s planning to sell everything off for two reasons.

Adamakos, 68, doesn’t have anyone to pass the collection down to, and he said he hasn’t combed through many of the items in decades, and believes other movie and animation fans would appreciate the opportunity to own a piece of history.

See ANIMATOR, page 15

Erin McCracken/Metroland

Hunt Club resident Peter Adamakos is in the process of working with his team of volunteers to catalogue his extensive collection of movie and animation memorabilia, which includes film reels dating back to the silent film age. He is hoping to have 20,000 items ready for sale this fall. A portion of the proceeds will go to the Kidney Foundation of Canada.

Animator looks to sell extensive movie and animation collection Continued from page 14

“Part of it is I can’t take it with me,” he said. “I always wondered what was going to happen. Time’s catching up.

I think if I haven’t looked at a given book for 30 years or 10 years, it’s time to pass it on to somebody who would appreciate it.”

But before he can do that, he needs help from volunteers willing to donate their time to help catalogue the memorabilia before they can be sold. Adamakos envisions staging a two-day convention this fall. The plan is still in its infancy, and Adamakos is still looking for assistance and event sponsors.

More than half a dozen volunteers have so far catalogued almost 5,000 items, including a couple hundred comic books, lobby cards or small movie posters and movie-themed records.

“We haven’t even started on the films or the posters,” he said. “There’s more children’s books, magazines – we’ve got those going back to the ’20s about movies. Books – we

haven’t done any books about film, cinema (yet).”

The list appears bottomless.

The eastern Ontario chapter of the Kidney Foundation of Canada has been helping Adamakos secure volunteers after the veteran animation producer offered to provide the registered charity with a portion of the proceeds generated from the sale.

Bruce Hill, an Ottawa-based senior development officer with the foundation who looks after fundraising, took Adamakos’ initial call last summer.

When Hill visited the artist and producer at his home, the visit proved to be a walk down memory lane. He saw animation cells from Mickey Mouse shows he remembers watching in the 1960s.

“Just to see it in the flesh was, so to speak, just fascinating,” said Hill, who was also blown away by the film canisters stacked in the kitchen.

“Just given the enormity of it we realized we have to catalogue it right from beginning to end,” he said. “We’re now only beginning to scratch the

surface.”

Despite the work that lies ahead, Hill said he is pleased Adamakos chose the Kidney Foundation, which funds onethird of all kidney-related research in Canada and provides programs for people with kidney disease.

“We love it when we get phone calls from people saying they want to help the Kidney Foundation,” he said. “I’m glad it was us.”

Old film projectors sit atop a china cabinet in Adamakos’ home. Inside the display case, there is no fine china. Instead, cartoon character figurines stand at attention on the shelves.

They still bring a smile to Adamakos’ face.

“I started like most kids buying comic books, records, things like that, which I always kept,” he recalled.

“When most 10 year olds got home from school, they’d go out and play baseball with kids.”

Not Adamakos.

His family’s garage was set up with desks where he and his friends would sit and draw. He

has since built a career as an animator, animation producer and instructor through his company, Disada Productions, which he founded in 1971 and relocated to Ottawa from Montreal in 1997.

“Time’s catching up.

I think if I haven’t looked at a given book for 30 years or 10 years, it’s time to pass it on to somebody who would appreciate it.”

Peter Adamakos

He and another artist, Bill Rogers, created the first syndicated comic strip in Canada in 1978.

Winnie Witch and the Giant Potato was first published by the former Ottawa Today daily newspaper.

Adamakos doesn’t draw anymore. He said his anima-

tion and live-action production company keeps him busy. His contract artists recently completed a live-action video and are in the process of completing another animation.

Despite his passion for his work and his collection, Adamakos said he likely will only hold back about a dozen items from the sale, mostly animation drawings, which have sentimental value.

The rest should be enjoyed by others, he said.

“It’s a way of paying back for all the enjoyment I’ve had in a darkened theatre,” he said with a small smile. “I’ve been the caretaker and now it’s time to pass it on.”

About 2,500 items in his collection are currently listed for sale on his company’s website, disada.com.

It’s Adamakos’ dream that prices at the upcoming convention will allow everyone to walk away with something that means something to them.

“I love the idea that there really is something for everybody, whether you’re 70 years old or seven years old,” Hill said.

The collection also includes stickers dating back to the 1950s, sticker books going back to the 1940s, comic books and movie magazines published in the 1940s.

Children’s books, records, movie posters and other trinkets will catch the eye of collectors in search of items related to Star Wars, James Bond, Cinderella, Pinocchio and even original drawings going back to the very first Mickey Mouse cartoons.

“It’s exciting. It’s daunting,” Hill said of the animator’s plans.

“If we can somehow help him to facilitate this very significant sale, I think everybody wins.

“Peter wins because he’s put it in the hands of people who can appreciate it. The Kidney Foundation wins because we would benefit financially and it supports the great work we do.

And (for) the kid who spent two bucks or the collector who spent $5,000 on a piece they’re going to cherish the rest of their lives, it’s great. It’s win-win-win.”

To volunteer with cataloguing the collection, please call Peter Adamakos at 613247-9207.

Transit fees would rise 2.5 per cent if budget adopted Some councillors worried by drift from 50-50 fare/tax funding split Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

The city’s draft budget proposes transit fares rise 2.5 per cent on average, shifting the balance so that fares cover more than half the cost of operating OC Transpo.

That concerned some councillors, including Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper and RideauVanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury, who said the city’s longstanding policy has been to achieve a 50-50 split between taxes and fares when it comes to paying for the $478 million annual cost of running OC Transpo.

“It puts a lot of pressure on the user,” Fleury said of the proposed increases. “Everyone should absorb that increase if there is a pressure.”

The increase, which would go into effect in the summer

if the transit commission and council approve the budget, would see a single adult cash fare rise to $3.55, up from $3.45.

A single adult fare on a Presto card would go up to $2.84, from the current $2.77. A regular adult monthly pass would go up $2.50 to $103.25.

Transit commission chairman Stephen Blais, councillor for Cumberland Ward, said an annual increase of around 2.5 per cent increase is a reasonable amount that also provides predictability, compared to past years when fares have been frozen and then increased by larger amounts to compensate.

The draft transit budget predicts a small uptick in ridership in 2015.

Ridership is projected to be 97.3 million customer trips in

2015, up from 96.8 million in 2014.

OC Transpo will be able to reallocate some funds to add extra service on some routes, particularly in the midday, evenings and weekends.

Details about the changes will be released later.

The draft budget includes $60.6 million for upgrades to transit vehicles and buildings, including bus refurbishments, Transitway projects and signals upgrades.

A major investment is the $36 million planned to be spent on the western Transitway extension from Bayshore Drive to Moodie Drive.

Of course, the Confederation Line project continues, with $42 million in the draft budget this year to continue work on the light-rail line slated to open in 2018.

Public consultations on the city’s draft budgets are scheduled leading up to the transit commission’s consideration of its budget on Feb. 18.

Council is slated to vote on the budget on March 11.

File

Cash fares for OC Transpo riders would rise to $3.55 from $3.45, while adult fares for Presto card users would go to $2.84 from $2.77 if the current draft budget is passed.

Draft budget boosts taxes $67 per household Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

The average urban homeowner will pay $67 more property tax this year in the city’s proposed budget.

While the average tax increase for all ratepayers has been pegged by some at city hall as 1.75 per cent, homeowners would pay a two per cent increase, while the commercial tax rate would only rise by 1.37 per cent due to provincial caps on business taxes.

The proposed hike for water and sewer rates is higher – six per cent – which would translate into an extra $48 per household in 2015.

For rural homeowners, the increase would be $55.

A third tax – the $82 garbage fee- won’t change if city council approves this budget.

After remaining frozen for the last four years, recreation fees are now proposed to increase by two per cent, which would happen either May 1 or Sept. 1, depending on the program.

City committees will debate their draft budgets in the coming weeks following public consultations and council’s final budget vote is set for

March 11.

High up on the city’s list of special projects for this year is a new “exit strategy� for gang members, for which the budget proposes $400,000 be allocated in 2015.

In addition to the exit strategy and other priorities, local ward neighbourhood road safety initiatives and additional money for school crossing guards will also be under discussion for the spending of $32 million council has put aside for “strategic initiatives.�

A total of $5.6 million has been allotted for the forestry department in the proposed budget, which would allow for a partnership with Ecology Ottawa to plant one million trees by 2017 and also the replanting of trees in areas affected by the emerald ash borer.

INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS

The proposed 2015 budget includes $689.1 million in capital projects, including $448 million for citywide work and $241 million for localized projects.

Storm water management retrofits and wastewater treatment infrastruc-

ture renewal account for $122 million of the total, plus another $45.3 million will go towards city water treatment facility improvements.

Road projects would also get a large chunk of money - $43.2 million in total spending is proposed for 2015. More than $18 million of that will be used to resurface roads.

The city is proposing to spend $19 million in repairs and new building for affordable housing.

A $6-million expansion of the city’s main forestry operations centre at Bloomfield yard is also planned.

SOUTH END

The city’s south end, including the rural area, would see $32.3 million in infrastructure repairs and $28.3 million for new infrastructure needed to accommodate growth, if council approves the draft budget.

The largest project proposed for that end of the city is a $7.96 million expansion of the Carlington Heights pump station.

The largest road project includes rebuilding Deer Park Road and Higwood Drive, including the water and sewer pipes, to the tune of $4.54 mil-

lion.

The planned widening of Greenbank Road is on the books for 2015.

Another $2.85 million is proposed for the Prince of Wales overpass at Nepean Creek and a separate project to upgrade Prince of Wales at Dynes Road. The city intends to design and acquire property for the expansion of Prince of Wales Drive between Hunt Club and Fallowfield Road.

Other roadworks planned for the south end include: Leroy, Lion and Robert Dowd streets in Osgoode, The Parkway Road Bridge over Castor, the Mansfield Road Bridge, Rosabella Avenue (Conroy Road to Albion Road) and the Garvin Road Bridge.

Parks and recreation and social service projects in the south end include: $1.64 million for the replacement of the turf at Minto Field, $1.36 million for equipment replacement at Carleton Lodge, repairs at the Pinecrest Recreation Complex and funds for new parks (Leitrim East, Greely Village Centre, Boothfields and Summerhill) and a small park in Longfields called Leather Leaf Parkette.

A large number of water and cul-

vert projects are on tap for the south end, including $1.4 million for the Manotick supply watermain and the Manotick North Island water supply, drinking water infrastructure for Richmond and Munster villages and $3.97 million for the Barrhaven pumping station, among other projects.

There is an additional $257,000 budgeted for a rural drinking water servicing strategy.

CENTRAL OTTAWA

The city’s central area would see $58 million in infrastructure repairs and $51.7 million for new infrastructure needed to accommodate growth, if council approves the draft budget.

The largest project is repairing the Minto bridges between Lowertown and New Edinburgh will cost $11.6 million.

The first phase of the Alta Vista transportation corridor to the Riverside Hospital campus is proposed to go forward as planned with a proposed price tag of $4.2 million.

Is Dickinson Square a national treasure?

Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

Dickinson Square is many things: a public gathering place, a local heritage destination, and, many times, a touchstone for controversy, particularly when someone suggests any change to the picturesque park surrounded by 19th and early 20th century architecture.

But is it a national gem?

That’s what a new community group hopes to determine through a long and arduous application process to name the square a national historic site.

The Dickinson Heritage Square Committee so far has about nine members, including Manotick historians and stakeholders from groups that use the square. Their most recent meeting also included a staffer from Nepean-Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre’s office and Rideau-Goulbourn Coun.

Scott Moffatt.

The committee’s aim is to successfully convince Parks Canada’s Historic Sites and Monuments Board that Dickinson Square and the buildings within it – particularly Watson’s Mill and Dickinson House, both city-owned buildings that are protected under the Ontario Heritage Act – deserve national recognition for their contribution to Canada’s development.

The process takes about two years, and involves extensive research and documentation. It’s early days, and there’s every chance the application could be rejected after two years of hard work. Of the approximately 70 applications for historic designations the board receives every year, only about 20 get approved by the Minister of Environment, according to the board’s executive secretary Julie Dompierre.

That’s not to say 50 are rejected outright; sometimes they are sent back to do more

research, or have to let more time pass (in the case of a nationally significant person, for example, they must be dead for 25 years). Still, others are simply not recommended for a national historic designation because they don’t meet the basic criteria that the person, place or event in question represents a significant part of the development of Canada, Dompierre said.

But there are enough compelling arguments for Dickinson Square’s national significance to convince this new local committee it’s worth a shot.

Committee looks to name Manotick centre national historic site Continued from page 25

Regular programming at Watson’s Mill and Dickinson House create significant traffic, too.

If not for the mill, the village of Manotick wouldn’t exist. Like many Canadian towns, industry precluded settlement. In this case, businessman Moss Kent Dickinson (aka the King of the Rideau, in honour of his many steamers and barges that transported goods up and down the river) took a chance on seven acres of land in what is now Manotick.

With his business partner Joseph Currier, Dickinson built the Long Island Flouring Mills – now Watson’s Mill – in 1859 and 1860.

The complex expanded to include a sawmill, a carding mill for wool and a bung factory.

Like so many businessmen, Dickinson also had his eye on politics, and in 1864 he became Ottawa’s mayor until 1866. He later served one term as a federal Member of Parliament, representing Russell

between 1882 and 1887.

Throughout all of this, Dickinson had lost his wife Elizabeth in 1861 and Currier had abandoned the Long Island operations the same year after the gruesome death of his young wife inside the mill, where it’s rumoured she still lives as a ghost.

Despite these setbacks, in 1867 Dickinson built a large family home that still stands across the street from the mill, where ladies in fine dresses now take visitors on tours through the home.

The Dickinson House has been turned into a community museum to celebrate its significance to the development of Manotick, but also for its ties to Canada’s first prime minister, Sir John A. Macdonald.

Local lore says the house served as Macdonald’s campaign headquarters in the 1882 and 1887 elections – something local historian Maureen McPhee, a member of the new application committee, said is probably only partly true.

The Rideau Township Historical

Society, which runs the museum, last summer hired a University of Ottawa student to look into the Macdonald claims.

While the research is ongoing – they need another Canada Works grant this summer to finish it off – McPhee said the early results can only definitively place Macdonald in Manotick one time, in the winter of 1887.

“There was a big campaign event that took place here in February where Macdonald came and spoke, and we have confirmed that after the event he went across the street to the Dickinson House and had dinner,” she said.

But the 1882 election is another matter. At that time candidates could run in more than one riding at once, and it seems that Macdonald was added to the Carleton ballot at the last minute.

“After the election, the celebratory event was in Bells Corners and he apologized for never having been in the riding during the election,” McPhee said.

“So it’s pretty clear in 1882 that it’s inaccurate to say it was the campaign headquarters.”

Nonetheless, she said the speech and dinner in 1887 shows that Manotick was of some importance. As the incumbent prime minister, Macdonald would have been incredibly busy travelling across the country, yet he still decided to stump in Manotick, she said.

MP Pierre Poilievre said he is behind the bid for a national designation 100 per cent – anything to pro-

“It just makes Watson’s Mill, the carriage house and Dickinson House special places that people might want to visit,” Poilievre said.

“Anyone who’s visiting Ottawa via the 416 Hwy might be inclined to stop in and see it, and maybe have lunch at a local restaurant.”

The business ramifications are

“Everything we want to do is about trying to bring more people to the square. We all know how great it is, but there are a lot of people out there who haven’t experienced Watson’s Mill or Dickinson House, and this opens that up.”

all positive, Poilievre said, and the designation could also mean better access to funding for the groups operating in Dickinson Square as well.

Dompierre said Parks Canada has an annual $1 million pot of cash that only national historic sites can access on a 50/50 cost-sharing ba-

sis. If Dickinson House needs money to replace its roof, for example, it would have to raise half the project’s budget first and then apply to Parks Canada for the rest.

Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt said he’s also behind the proposal, even as he chairs the board of a city-owned corporation tasked with selling Dickinson House and the nearby carriage shed to recoup the money the city paid for them in 2009.

“It wouldn’t change much in that regard,” Moffatt said, noting the designation doesn’t add any extra built heritage restrictions or obligations for the owner.

“There are entire towns that are national historic sites. It didn’t look to me like there was anything significant there that would create a problem for anyone other than the fact that it brings positive attention to the area.”

The world heritage designation on the Rideau Canal, for example, hasn’t stopped development; on the contrary, it has opened up opportunities to reach more people.

“The national historic designation is something to brag about,” Moffatt said.

“Everything we want to do is about trying to bring more people to the square. We all know how great it is, but there are a lot of people out there who haven’t experienced Watson’s Mill or Dickinson House, and this opens that up.”

Police arrest suspect in Barrhaven gun scare Alex Robinson

alex.robinson@metroland.com

Police have arrested a man they say brandished a gun in Barrhaven in January.

A 19-year-old man turned himself into police after they released a photo of him to the public, police say.

He allegedly pointed his gun at a driver near the intersection of Woodroffe Avenue and

Stoneway Drive on the morning of Jan. 17, police say.

Police searched the area at the time after receiving many calls about the man, but did not find him.

Ward Office Now Open My community office for River Ward residents is open and I warmly welcome any resident to pop over and say hello. My office is located in the Hunt Club Riverside Park Community Centre, located at 3320 Paul Anka Drive. During the winter months, my ward office is staffed on Fridays and I am there in the afternoons. You may pick up brochures, bus route information and learn about current issues and public meetings I and various community groups are hosting.

Introducing the River Ward Team Allow me to introduce my team. My office manager is Andrea Ward. My Senior Casework Officer is Anthony Chiarello and my Community Outreach Officer is Sarah Barber. Both Ms Ward and Mr Chiarello worked for former Deputy Mayor Steve Desroches, while Ms Barber has an extensive customer service background in the private sector.

My team and I strive to provide you with exceptional service each and every day.

NCC Greenspace in River Ward On Friday January 30, I met one-on-one with Dr Mark Kristmanson, the CEO of the National Capital Commission. I particularly wanted to discuss the various parcels of greenspace within River Ward and acquire a better understanding of the intentions of the NCC with them. I identified four parcels of land, they are as follows: the McCathy Woods, the Southern Corridor, the shoreline on the east side of the Rideau River along Revelstoke Drive and a small parcel at 1000 Walkley Road, beside the southbound on-ramp of the Airport Parkway. For all of the parcels identified above, Dr Kristmanson indicated to me that there are no plans to develop, sell or alter at this time. I stressed the significant value that these greenspaces provide the community for a myriad of reasons and implored him to ensure they remain for the public good.

Canada Post Community Mailboxes I have been working closely with a number of residents in the KIV postal area on the proposed sites that Canada Post has identified for community mailboxes. If your property has been identified as a potential site and you have concerns with the proposal, please contact me. I am addressing all matters brought to my attention with Canada Post.

OC Transpo Route 87 Residents in the Hunt Club and Riverside Park neighbourhoods have identified service issues with route 87 this past winter. In particular, they have identified concerns with buses that do not show up at the scheduled time and buses that are packed with riders and pass by those waiting at the bus stop. If you have specific issues about route 87 or any other service related matter with OC Transpo, please contact me as I want to address all matters with OC Transpo when I meet with them.

After a near year-long delay, construction on the Glebe parking garage at the corner of Bank Street and Second Avenue got underway on Jan. 19.

Construction of the 150-space structure, originally scheduled to start last spring in anticipation of the re-opening of Lansdowne Park, got underway in earnest last month.

The $9.5-million structure was approved by city council last year and the four-storey garage will replace an existing 60-space municipal lot on the property in an effort to bolster the supply of parking in the area.

The garage will also add 35 bicycle parking spaces to the neighbourhood.

The lot, according to the city, is closed until construction is complete, with the exception of a small section reserved for monthly pass holders until the end of February. Alternate parking is available at Fifth Avenue Court, at Lansdowne Park and along streets in the neighbourhood.

In March 2014, Capital Ward Coun. David Chernushenko announced work on the parking garage project would be delayed until March of this year, meaning construction is slightly ahead of schedule. According to the councillor, a third party review at that time determined the work would not be complete in time for the holiday season.

Ontario looks to put the brakes on vehicle speeds Consultations to look at reducing default residential speed limit to 40 km/h and will host a series of municipal consultations starting this spring to identify the best options.

The move is something that Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi, minister of community safety and correctional services, has championed locally. “The issue of speed limits is a very important one in Ottawa Centre – I heard it regularly

Steph Willems

Ottawa drivers could soon find themselves lifting off the gas pedal if the Ontario government has its way.

Queen’s Park is looking at ways of reducing de facto speeds on residential streets from 50 km/h to 40 km/h in the interests of pedestrian safety,

when I knock on doors,� said Naqvi. “In the last election, I made the commitment on behalf of communities to lobby the government to reduce default speed limits on residential streets to 40 km/h and in school zones to 30 km/h.�

Studies conducted by public health groups have shown a much higher survivability rate for pedestrians struck by cars going 40 km/h than the current de facto speed of 50 km/h.

This finding sits at the core of the proposed changes.

Province-wide blanket legislation is just one of the options Ontario is looking at. Local solutions are another option, with individual municipalities being given the powers to amend the Highway Traffic Act within their jurisdictions.

The consultations, hosted by the Ministry of Transportation, will lay out the options for residents and local representatives to consider. “Each municipality is different – it’s important to have that conversation to better understand their perspective,� said Naqvi. “Some small communi-

ties might not have a problem (with speeding).�

The consultations will take the form of community meetings, webinars, and possibly other forms as well. Naqvi estimates that Ottawa would have a chance to be consulted by mid to late spring.

Hintonburg Community Association president Matt Whitehead called the proposal “a great first step,� adding that cities should still find a way to educate people on driving within the limit, and enforcing existing policies.

Hintonburg is just one Ottawa community that has advocated for lowered residential speed limits in their neighbourhood. Whitehead said speeding is a very common complaint to the HCA. “If it’s not the top (issue), I’d have to think what is,� said Whitehead.

Chronically congested roadways like Parkdale Avenue see drivers slowing down simply because there’s so much traffic, he said, but larger-capacity roadways like Scott Street would benefit from such a lowering.

Submitted

The Ontario government is looking at implementing changes to the province’s residential speed limits, and will host community consultations starting in the spring.

Other streets, like Hamilton Avenue – located near a public park – would see safety increased by a speed limit change, said Whitehead. “Fifty kilometres an hour is

fast and I don’t think they have time to stop if a kid stepped off into the street,� he said, adding, “Obviously, the people who live on these streets also drive too fast.�

Ottawa South News - Thursday, February 12, 2015

Lisa MacLeod has pulled the plug on her bid to replace Tim Hudak as the leader of the Ontario Progressive Conservatives.

“I will formally withdraw my candidacy for the leadership of our party and put my support behind a very longtime friend of my family, Christine Elliott,” she told reporters and supporters at her campaign office in Ottawa on Feb. 6.

The Nepean-Carleton MPP made the announcement mere days after MP John Baird said he would not seek re-election.

The day after Baird’s resignation, MPP Vic Fideli dropped out of the leadership race and endorsed Elliott.

MacLeod said these two developments caused her to reconsider her bid. She was also facing a deadline to pay a $50,000 installment to the Pro-

gressive Conservative Party in order to stay in the race.

“The last four days have been very intense for me,” she said.

MacLeod fell short of declaring her candidacy for Baird’s seat, but said she would not have dropped out of the leadership race if the foreign affairs minister had not quit.

The MPP said she was set to meet with Coun. Jan Harder and supporters to discuss a potential run for the newly formed Nepean riding, where Baird was set to run.

Andy Wang, a former staffer of Nepean-Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre, had committed to running in Baird’s old riding of Ottawa West-Nepean, but has now announced his candidacy for the Conservative nomination in Nepean.

“I have a tremendous amount of respect for Hon. John Baird and all the work he has done for our community,”

he said in a letter to supporters. “This is why I must continue the work that he has set out for Nepean, my home for the past 15 years and where I have worked for the past five years in the offices of Hon. Pierre Poilievre, MP for Nepean-Carleton.”

The field of PC leadership contenders has now been whittled down to three – Elliott, MP Patrick Brown and MPP Monte McNaugthon.

“I hope I can earn your support and confidence as time goes on as well, because I want to make sure we all work together,” Elliott told MacLeod’s supporters. “Only in that way are we going to be able to defeat the Liberals in 2018.”

MacLeod was first elected in 2006, after Baird made the leap to federal politics. She said she would take a couple weeks to decide whether she will run for the seat vacated by Baird.

Police shut down suspected grow op in Morgan’s Grant Blair Edwards blair.edwards@metroland.com

The Ottawa police drug unit shut down a suspected marijuana grow operation in Morgan’s Grant, a community in north Kanata, on Jan. 29, with the arrest of a 35-year-old male and a 34-year-old female.

Police seized 230 cannabis marijuana plants valued at $320,000, 15 kilograms of cannabis marijuana “shake� valued at $6,600, $625 in Canadian currency and a 2010 Cadillac SRX SUV at a home located in the 100-block of Kettlewell Way and the 100-block of Woliston Crescent.

The Children’s Aid Society attended the scene to take custody of the couple’s one-year-old child. “We are very pleased taking that kind of volume out of the criminal element,� said acting Staff Sgt. Ian McDonell, head of the Ottawa police drug unit. “Two hundred and thirty plants valued at $320,000 – that’s fairly substantial for us,� he said. “It’s a big chunk of income out of organized crime. “When you’re dealing with a volume of this much marijuana this isn’t

just your local ma and pops (operation,)� he said.

The arrests come after an investigation that took place over a few weeks, said McDonell, and the warrants were executed by the Ottawa police drug unit with the assistance of tactical and west division neighbourhood police officers.

While executing the warrants, police discovered a hole bored into the basement of the house, with an illegal electricity bypass hooked up to the main power line.

Nowadays, grow ops tend to set up in newer suburbs, such as Morgan’s Grant, where the power lines run underneath houses, said McDonell. “They think it won’t be easily detected,� he said.

Police charged the pair with possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking, production of a controlled substance and the theft of hydro electricity.

The male is also charged with possession of the proceeds of crime under $5,000.

The accused were released on promises to appear in court on Feb. 25. No further charges or arrests are forthcoming, said police.

Ottawa police have arrested a 35-year-old male and a 34-year-old female after shutting down a suspected marijuana grow op in Morgan’s Grant, a community in north Kanata, on Jan. 29. Police say the grow op is likely linked to a larger operation run by organized crime.

Last chance to dump Carlsbad dump Residents call on province to reject proposal over claims of shoddy science Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

About 100 residents gathered at the Carlsbad Springs community centre on Feb. 5 for a final push against Taggart Miller’s proposal to build a 430-acre industrial and commercial waste management site on Boundary Road.

The Dump This Dump 2 campaign has been fighting Taggart Miller’s proposal for more than two years, citing concerns about longterm environmental impacts, traffic volumes and smell. The public meeting – which Taggart Miller did not attend – is part of the group’s ongoing campaign to inform residents about the developer’s environmental assessment (EA) submitted this winter, and to continue a letter-writing campaign to provincial decision-

makers to stop the project in its tracks.

Residents have until Feb. 20 to express their concerns about the EA, after which the province’s Ministry of Environment and Climate Change will review public comment for five weeks. The public will get another five weeks in the spring to go over the ministry’s early report before the final decision-making period commences in May. Environment Minister Glen Murray will have to accept or reject the EA by the end of July.

Dump This Dump 2 president Sue Langlois encouraged residents to send letters to their provincial representatives and project staff and to even drop into the ministry’s regional office on Don Reid Drive off Walkley Road.

“Now is the time to stop them, not when it’s going through the court or through arbitration,” Langlois said.

So far supporters have sent about 400 letters, she said.

If the province approves the environmental assessment this summer, Taggart Miller would still have to file an Official Plan amendment with the city and then go through rezoning and site plan processes.

Edwards resident Charles Preston

THINGS YOU PROBABLY

DIDN’T KNOW

asked Cumberland Coun. Stephen Blais why the city can’t just stop Taggart Miller at that point.

His answer was bleak.

“In all honesty, if the province says yes and the city says no, Taggart Miller will take it to the Ontario Municipal Board and most likely win,” Blais told the crowd. “Is it worth going down that path and fighting? That’s a conversation we don’t ever want to have because we want the province to say no before we get there.”

Langlois said her group has used the $75,000 it has received from the city of Ottawa to hire scientists to identify flaws in Taggart Miller’s report. Biologist Fred Schueler is investigating impacts on the fauna and flora that live in and around the boggy site, for example, and SENES environmental consultants will deal with air quality issues.

The group has also brought a hydro-geologist on board to consider water table impacts.

“He did a review of the draft environmental assessment earlier in the year and his comments say there

Residents sign letters for provincial leaders asking Minister of Environment Glen Murray to reject Taggart Miller’s environmental assessment on a proposed waste management site in Carlsbad Springs during a public meeting on Feb. 5. are a lot of general assumptions that are based on no real data,” Langlois said.

A similar project for the same site was rejected in the 1980s because, the group asserts, of concerns about impacts to the area’s high water table and because of the “squishy soil” made up largely of unstable leda clay.

Taggart Miller, however, says

on its website that the project was canned because of documentation and planning errors, not environmental concerns.

“Today the site remains – as it was in the 1980s – an excellent location for the (Capital Region Resource Recovery Centre) that can be designed and operated in compliance with all current Ministry of the Environment requirements,” the website says.

Mother predicted doom and gloom

T

o Mother, it wasn’t a question of “if,� it was a question of “when.�

That had to do with the old Findlay Oval in the winter, stocked to the hilt, 24 hours a day. It wasn’t at all unusual, after Father had chucked the firebox full of wood, to see the silver pipes turn crimson. And that’s when Mother was sure, without a doubt, the old log house would go up in flames, and her prayer was that there would be time for all of us to escape a fiery death. There was no doubt in her mind, that it was just a matter of time.

As we sat around the old pine table after supper, and once the kitchen had been cleaned up, Mother, at the head of the table with her papers, scrap books and diary spread around her, could barely concentrate on her writing, or using the scissors, as she kept one eye on the cook stove.

Every few minutes she

MARY COOK Memories would take a long hard look at the raging stove and say, “Albert, it’s getting pretty red.�

Father would grunt into his paper, take another long drag on his pipe, and say, “Now, it’s alright Mabel, I’m keeping my eye on it.�

Keeping his eye on it, meant he would move off the rocking chair only if he figured the raging fire had gone up into the flue and it was time for action. How he knew when it had reached the danger level was beyond me. All I knew was that at a very early age, my fear of a house fire had its beginning on those cold winter nights when the Findlay Oval

was trying to win the battle over the icy house that never quite got warm enough to suit me.

The pipes, which every fall were painted silver, snaked from the stove across the ceiling in the kitchen and then up through a hole into the hall which was the bedroom my sister and I shared, took a sharp turn, and vanished into another hole into the outside wall, where supposedly, the flue was.

It was in the flue, Mother knew the danger of a house fire would have its beginning.

I had no idea what was inside the flue, or what it was made

UR O Y T E L DON’ T SE A E L E L VEHIC .

N W O D OU CHAIN Y

of, but I was sure it held our destiny in its grasp.

And when Mother lamented loud and long, Father would give a long sigh, and remind her that the old log house had been standing in that very same spot, with a cook stove in a corner of the kitchen for more than a hundred years, and it had yet to burn to the ground.

That was little comfort to Mother, who could be heard say under her breath. “There’s always a first time, Albert.�

And then one night, (Father said the coldest night he could ever remember) the old stove was fair belching from the pile of hardwood father had crammed into the firebox. The burners were getting redder by the minute, and you cold smell the silver paint on the pipes.

To Mother, if you could smell paint burning, a fire in the flue wasn’t far behind.

That’s when Father finally thought it was time for action.

even Father thought the fire was out of control, he would put on his big leather mitts, go upstairs into our bedroom, and pull the pipes apart and dump another tin plate of salt down the pipe, set the plate on the open pipe, and bring the top pipe on top, cutting off the fire completely, and within seconds, the whole fire would go out, just as if you had blown out a match. Mother never did get over her fear of a winter house fire. Every night, without fail, she would take our winter outerwear off the hooks at the back door, lay everything out on chairs at the bottom of the stairs, with orders that, not if, but when, a fire broke out, we were to grab our clothes and head outside as fast as our legs could carry us.

And again, without fail, Father would remind her that the old house had stood for more than 100 years and the cook stove had raged all that time.

The fire did a fairly good job on the back house, and singed the outside wall of the summer kitchen. The old log house didn’t suffer as much as a scratch.

ing would do just as well, he got out of the rocking chair, laid his pipe on the floor, and went over to the wood box.

The ledge at the top of the box was wide enough to hold a tin pie plate full of coarse salt. It was there for a certain purpose, and it looked very much like that was the night it would be put to use. You could take one burner off at a time on the Findlay Oval, or you could use the handle and the whole top of the stove with the two burners could be lifted at once. Father lifted the iron handle, raising the top of the stove and hooking the handle to keep the stove open. The flames shot out like a bonfire, Mother yelled at we five kids to get our coats and boots on, and it looked very much like her fear of the whole place going up in smoke was coming to pass.

Father wasn’t the least bit excited. He took the tin plate of coarse salt, dumped it all over the burning logs in the stove, gave the plate a tap with the back of his hand, and we all watched as the flames died down like a dried up creek.

Students can then build that manipulation using the school’s new 3D printer.

“We’re very excited about what we can do with all these pieces in concert,” Yang said.

The school also bought a thermographic camera, which uses infrared radiation to detect where heat is flowing in a building. The camera allows the operator to see through walls to locate where insulation and air seals are lacking.

Yang said the school is still in the process of learning how the different pieces of technology can be used and brought together.

“There is a lot of learning development that needs to be done to maximize the potential of this technology,” Yang said.

The centre is looking to collaborate with other schools, businesses and industry experts with its new equipment.

On the wall of the centre, a quote from American computer scientist Grace Hopper reminds students to always strive to break boundaries.

“The most dangerous phrase in the language is, ‘We’ve always done it this way,’” it reads.

Yang said he chose the quote as it captures the experimental and innovative spirit of the centre.

“It’s important to remind ourselves, tradition is important, we should learn from history, but we shouldn’t use that as a fallback position to say we should just carry on,” he said. “People should be constantly skeptical as to whether there is a new way we can do things.”

Breakfast club to bring rural dads together Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

For the lucky dads out there, Saturday morning is a time to relax, horse around with the kids and maybe enjoy a leisurely breakfast.

Now Rural Family Connections has made it possible to do all that and more with its new Rural Dads Matter breakfast club starting Saturday, Feb. 28.

From 9 to 11 a.m., fathers and their children, aged zero to six, can join guest speakers for some parenting advice, a light breakfast and a chance to bond with their youngsters in the Live and Learn Resource Centre in the old Metcalfe town hall.

The first speaker on Feb. 28 is Marisa Moher, a health promoter from South Nepean Community Health Centre.

She’ll demonstrate how to organize a healthy meal. The resource centre will also offer

meet-ups on March 7 and 21, although office manager Leigh Gillies said the speakers haven’t yet been confirmed. She said they’d like to offer fun activities like birdhouse building and math and reading games.

Gillies said staff have been working with Ottawa Public Health nurse Dave Elder to develop the program, which was funded in part by a Rural Community Building grant from the city. Elder said the club is rather unique as far as dad groups go.

For one, it’s on a Saturday morning instead of during the week, and it also includes the kids; often parenting services for dads are adult-only workshops.

Elder said having programs specifically targeted to fathers is important because they can’t or don’t access parenting services in the same way moms do.

“A lot of it has to do with the fact that the hours are not easy

for dads; playgroups are often during the day and during regular business hours,” Elder said.

“By offering something on the weekend, it offers a chance to connect with other dads and a new way to spend quality time with their kids.”

Elder said kids do much better when both of their caregivers are equally involved in the parenting process.

“We want to empower the dads as well as the moms because it’s a partnership, even when they’re not living together,” Elder said. “The more we can engage Dad the better the children will do.”

The hope, according to Gillies, is that the three-part club will act as a pilot to launch a community-run group.

“If we can get it running out here and get one or two dads to run it themselves, they can go for it,” Gillies said. “They know better than us what they want.”

Pet Adoptions

PETRIE (ID# A175545)

Meet Petrie (A175545), a fun-loving pointer who’s ready to find a jogging partner for life!

Petrie is a very active boy who would be a wiz at keeping you on track with you New Year’s resolutions. He is also super smart and would love to have an owner who will ensure he stays challenged with lots of fun, durable toys. Petrie would enjoy bonding with you at an OHS obedience classes and already knows how to sit like a true gentleman for treats!

He’s a cuddle bug who would do best as the only animal in a household — he wants all your love to himself!

For more information on Petrie and all the adoptable animals, stop by the OHS at 245 West Hunt Club Rd. Check out our website at ottawahumane.ca to see photos and descriptions of the animals available for adoption.

PET OF THE WEEK

What can you fix before it becomes a problem? Your pet.

0205.R0013119199

February is Spay/Neuter month. This month, make the most important decision you can make for your pet’s life. It’s a simple fix.

Spaying or neutering your pet may not seem like a big priority, but putting it off, or deciding against it, can lead to bigger problems than you’re bargaining on — for you, your pet, and your community.

How great are the rewards? Well, let us tell you...

1. Your pet’s health will benefit Spaying helps prevent uterine infections and breast cancer, which is fatal in about 50 per cent of dogs and 90 per cent of cats. Spaying your pet before her first heat offers the best protection from these diseases. Neutering your male companion prevents testicular cancer, if done before

six months of age.

2. Your pet’s behaviour — and your sleep — will be snefit!

Unspayed felines can go into heat every three weeks during breeding season, yowling at all times of day and night as they seek out mates. Intact males tend to roam widely, escaping from houses and yards and risking injury in traffic and fights with other males. They mark their territory by spraying strong-smelling urine all over the house. Many aggression problems can be avoided by early neutering. Neutered animals, on the other hand, tend to focus more attention on their human families.

3. Your pocketbook will thank you Spay/neuter is a one-time cost. It’s a lot less than vet bills to treat your unaltered cat after it gets into a fight

Please note: The Ottawa Humane Society has many other companion animals available for adoption. Featured animals are adopted quickly! To learn more about adopting an animal from the Ottawa Humane Society please contact us:

Website: www.ottawahumane.ca Email: Adoptions@ottawahumane.ca Telephone: (613) 725-3166 x258

with a neighbouring tom, or the ongoing cleaning bills to rid the house of urinemarking odours.

4. Your community will thank you Every year across our country, hundreds of thousands of cats and dogs of all ages and breeds are abandoned. We see it every day at the Too many suffer as strays; too many are euthanized. These high numbers are the result of unplanned litters that could have been prevented by spaying or neutering. Even just one litter, and even if you can find them homes... those are homes that could have been taken by homeless animals in need.

This month, help the Ottawa Humane Society spread the word. Spaying and neutering is not just a good idea, it’s a lifesaving choice.

Coco & Alfie My name is Coco and this is my boyfriend Alfie who is also my next door neighbour.

Alfie trots over to my door and barks for me when he goes outside. I always run enthusiastically and shamelessly to greet him then insist my family let me out for our rendezvous. Often Alfie and I just stare at each other lovingly though our respective windows. My favourite time of the day is when my sisters get home from school, they make me so excited.
