Bruce Webster, president of the Rural Council of Ottawa Carleton (RCOC), shows a water sample taken from Lynnwood Gardens mobile home park during a meeting of the Agricultural and Rural Affairs Committee (ARAC) last week. A motion was passed to find a solution to the park's enduring water issues.

Cheers and applause erupted in the cramped quarters of Metcalfe’s former town hall as the Agricultural and Rural Affairs Committee (ARAC) voted unanimously to find a solution to the ongoing water problems in Lynnwood Gardens Trailer Park.

The motion, co-authored

by Osgoode Ward Coun.

Doug Thompson and senior city counsel Tim Marc, states: “Be it therefore resolved that RIAC (Rural Issues Advisory Committee) wishes to have ARAC consider at an earliest opportunity to find a resolution to provisions of usable drinking water and the Planning and Environment Committee (PEC) and Legal Department contribute their best knowledge to the Lynnwood Trailer Park and present a solution to ARAC.” Admittedly, no one yet knows what exactly that solution is, but seemingly everyone is now on the same page. ARAC members were privy to seeing the sludge passing as water that comes out of the taps in Lyn-

nwood.

Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder expressed her shock as she viewed the visibly dirty water for the first time.

Bruce Webster, president of the Rural Council of Ottawa Carleton (RCOC), brought in a jar of water to show ARAC members. He said he was “very encouraged” by the fact that there seems to be forward movement on the issue now.

“RCOC thought it pertinent to bring it to RIAC’s attention … and they voted unanimously to bring it to ARAC,” said Webster, holding the jar of water aloft for all to see. “Any and every person who has visited the (park) … said the water is not usable.”

Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod, who has been working closely with Thompson and organizations like the Nepean, Rideau, Osgoode Community Resource Centre (NROCRC) to find a solution, also spoke to the ARAC members, urging everyone to put their support behind Thompson.

A '30-year sore': Thompson <<< LYNWOOD From Page 1 “This has been a 30-year sore on the city,” she said.

“If there’s a light at the end of the tunnel, it starts with Coun. Thompson’s motion; there is a solution here, I’m not sure what it is yet.”

MacLeod has been somewhat front and centre since she joined the battle over Lynnwood’s water. In an August interview with the Weekender, MacLeod was clearly energized by the fact that so many groups and organizations were getting onboard.

“They have a piece of paradise there, we just have to let them live in paradise,” she said then. “They’ve got some issues we need to contend with and we’ve got the community support to do that. This is the first time in a long time I’ve seen so many different groups of people roll up their sleeves to get something done.”

Mike Anderson, a representative of Halifax-based Killam Properties Inc., the owner of the park, said the company didn’t realize how poor the water quality was when they bought the park.

He described 14 inches of sludge that needed to be pumped out of the park’s water holding tank.

“We’re doing everything the Ontario Drinking Water Act stipulates,” he said. “We’ll spend the money to fix the problem.”

Killam claims to have spent in excess of $160,000 on park maintenance.

What irks the Lynwood residents is that less than a mile down Eighth Line Road, there is a water pipeline being constructed going from the city’s water source all the way to the Township of Russell.

There have been multiple calls to allow Lynnwood to tap into that pipeline; courtesy of Killam’s chequebook.

However, Russell and the City of Ottawa signed an agreement that very clearly states no one will be allowed to tap into the pipeline because it is a very high-pressure pipeline and the water is not potable once it leaves the city until it is treated in Russell.

Dennis Martin with Golder Associates Ltd., an environmental consulting company hired by Killam, said treating the water onsite is not a “viable option," explaining: “A connection to municipal water is the only feasible solution.”

While all parties agree that something must be done, it remains unclear which options have the best chance of fixing Lynnwood’s water woes.

But the goal is clear: “The goal is to get the water looking like this,” said ARAC’s chair, Coun. Rob Jellett, holding up a bottle of water before pointing to Webster's murky sample.

“Not like that.”

Cops scouring area for 'chickens' OPS Patrol officers in the Rideau/Goulbourn zone responded to 114 general calls for service from the public for the reporting period of Nov. 7 to 13. The following is a partial breakdown of incidents by community: - Manotick: one accident, one traffic complaint, two B&Es, two mischief, one suspicious - North Gower: one suspicious, one commercial B&E - Kars: one traffic complaint, one B&E, two thefts -Carleton GYC: one disturb, one B&E - Stonebridge: one accident - Richmond: two B&Es - Ashton: one accident Enbridge rep going door-to-door?

A complainant from Village Walk Private reported a suspicious incident to OPS. During the evening of Nov. 12, at approximately 8:30 p.m., a clean-shaven black male, carrying an Enbridge writing board and wearing a black winter jacket and pants, was canvassing the Village Walk Private area for reasons unknown.

When the complainant answered her door, the nervous and startled male spoke a few words and then quickly departed.

Furthering her suspicions, the complainant stated that after the male departed, she looked outside to see how he was getting around and didn’t see a parked vehicle in her driveway or along the street.

Checking up on her elderly neighbor, the complainant reported that a similar thing happened to her too.

It hasn’t been confirmed whether Enbridge was actually canvassing in the Manotick area, but either way: always remember — Caveat Emptor — and continue to report suspicious incidents such as this one to the OPS Call Centre at 613236-1222 ext. 7300.

The complainant made the right call by checking up on her elderly neighbor. Thanks for being the eyes and ears in your community.

Responsible adult?

Is there something wrong with this picture? A parent says to police that she does not see a problem in allowing 30 to 40 young teens; 15-17 year-olds, to be drunk in her house.

Shortly after 11 p.m., on Nov.

8, police were called to Fairway Drive after receiving reports that a group of teens were seen riding around on a stolen golf cart, damaging the course, and that someone had allegedly fallen out of a cart and required an ambulance.

When police arrived, they found a large number of teens, in various stages of intoxication, milling about the house, while paramedics attended to the injured and intoxicated female.

From the initial investigation, a Richmond teen was arrested for theft, but no formal charges or warnings were issued at that time.

The 16-year-old host was co-operative with police; however, the only adult in the house was unable to shed any light on the situation and told police she did not see what the problem was with drunken teens in her house.

Upon further investigation, it was determined that identified teens broke into a storage shed through the front door, forced open a rear roll-up shutter, and stole a motorized beverage cart.

While on their escapade, the teens smashed out the windshield, ripped off the seat, and damaged the front grill to the cart.

Traffic Accidents Bridge Street, Manotick: During the morning rush hour, a driver from Quebec failed to notice that the vehicle in front had come to a stop on Bridge Street, plowed into the stopped vehicle and was charged under the HTA for following too close.

Game of chicken During the early evening hours, a complainant called police after a young male jumped out in front of her car, while his two friends laughed from the sidelines.

The three males were last seen scratching along Bridge Street.

Break and Enter 2333 Church Street, North Gower: At approximately 1:30 a.m., on Nov. 9, unknown suspects punched the front door locking mechanism to All That Glitters Bridal Salon. For unknown reasons, they left the scene without entering into the premises.

Nov. 10/11 6 1 7 9 Commodore Lane, Kars: Sometime during the early morning hours, unknown suspects entered onto the property of the Long Island Marina and kicked open the bottom half of a door at the Chandlery.

Once inside, the suspects knocked the cash register, and Interac machine onto the floor.

Perhaps out of frustration, the suspects crushed the Interac keypad under foot before leaving.

Beaverwood Road, Manotick: During the early morning hours of Nov. 11, unknown suspects broke into a beauty salon and stole money set aside for charity.

The suspects breached the front door by punching out the lock and conducted a ransack style search of the premises.

Upon completion, the suspects made their escape through the rear door.

Nov. 12 Richard Street, Manotick: A complainant approached a police cruiser on Bridge Street to report a B&E and theft, stating that, sometime between 1 and 10:45 p.m. that day, unknown suspects broke into his house through a bathroom window, and stole four Apple iPhones and a wallet containing only a birth certificate.

Asked why he had four iPhones, the complainant replied it was for his business.

No further explanation was offered.

More chicken anyone?

Later that evening, another complainant called police after observing three kids, dressed in white and black costumes, playing chicken with traffic along Rideau Valley Drive and Roger Stevens Drive.

Are you thinking what I am thinking?

Where are their parents?

Mischief: Nov. 10 Manotick Main Street, Manotick: A mischief to property incident that occurred on Nov. 7, between 1 and 7 a.m., at the Black Dog Bistro, was reported to police.

Unknown persons attempted to break into a storage shed by kicking in the door.

Long arm of the law During a routine traffic stop along Century Road, police arrested a 23-year-old driver from Kars, after it was determined that he had an outstanding bench warrant from the jurisdiction of OPP Russell County.

Once the warrant was confirmed by the OPP as returnable, the driver was transported to central cells for pickup.

Rather than have his vehicle towed, the driver asked his mom to drive it home, since he might be tied up for a while.

locks held.

Nov. 13 N o r t h Street, Manotick: At around 1 a.m., a complainant was awakened by the sound of a loud bang.

When the complainant looked out, she could see a person running away, but was unable to get a description. Upon investigation, it was determined that the loud bang was caused by the unidentified suspect throwing a lawn ornament at her van, denting and scratching the rear passenger sliding door.

Theft Nov. 7 Commodore Lane, Kars: A complainant from the Long Island Marina reported a theft.

Between Nov. 2 and 4, unknown persons broke into his boat and stole binoculars, alcohol, a Bosun’s whistle and a compass.

A discharged fire extinguisher was found next to the boat.

Nov. 11 6 6 9 2 Rideau Valley Drive South, Kars: A complainant reported a theft at the Kars Public School, stating that she hung up her leather coat in the staff room around 1:30 p.m., and upon her return around 5 p.m., she noticed that it was no longer there.

Others Nov. 8 Fourth Line Road, North Gower: Two groups of teens were observed launching fireworks at residences, then running off on foot towards the RA Centre.

The Rideau-Goulbourn CPC and the North Gower Community Association are actively working together on this particular youth issue and other ongoing challenges.

Police Centre is located at 1131 Clapp Lane in Manotick and can be reached at 2361222 ext. 2314. The Centre is a “community problemsolving centre” and is responsible for the delivery of the Ottawa Police crime prevention programs.

It is important to note that the Manotick CPC is not an emergency response centre and that we do not dispatch cars to complaints or crimes in progress.

7300 – the O.P.S. call centre, to report a theft, missing person or stolen vehicle; and · 311 – for bylaw dispatch services.

All of these numbers along with other useful information can be found in the red pages at the front of your residential directory.

UNIONIZED FARMS MAY IMPACT COSTS

F

ood may become a little costlier and family farms may be pushed another step towards the abyss in the wake of the Ontario Court of Appeal's 3 - 0 decisions that farm labourers have the right to unionize.

The court unanimously ruled that the Agricultural Employees Protection Act, which prevents farm workers from collective bargaining, "substantially" impairs their right to freedom of association under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

The Toronto Star reports that the decision affects an estimated 32,000 agricultural workers in Ontario, including 16,500 migrant farm workers who come from Mexico and the Caribbean each year. While most Ontario workers have had the right to join unions since 1943, farm employees have been excluded because agriculture has been considered unique; farms need labourers who can work long hours during harvest time and adapt to changing weather, and consumers need a reliable food supply.

But the ruling may not spawn tractors rumbling down the highways any time soon as the union denies it is seeking the right to strike for farm workers. But is this the tipping point between family and factory farms?

Farmers have long fought unionization by calling it the death knell of family farms, but industry watchers have argued that there are significantly fewer family farms and even fewer of those survivors engage migrant, or any, farm workers.

The Ontario Fruit and Vegetable Growers' Association, which represents 8,500 of the 35,000 farms across Ontario, notes that farming families are already having tough times producing safe food for the consuming public.

Watch this story closely, folks. And your wallets.

Many community newspapers end their year by recapping the highlights of the year's coverage in words and photos.

This is our way of saying 'sorry' for breaking your

After reading this column, you really have no excuse not to have your efforts recognized and your achievements reported.

Here's how it works.

In a few hundred words — ideally fewer — simply tell us what you and/or your group, association, service club, sports team or league, arts group or youth or seniors' program did in 2008.

Share with us your successes of the past year and your plans, goals and priorities for 2009.

We're asking you to do once a year what we try to do every week.

If you've been pleased with the coverage we gave you, that's great. The offer still stands.

Our cows are in their own section of the barnyard at the moment, because they were constantly breaking out of the fencing all summer.

Their area is surrounded by an electric fence now, and there they will stay until snow covers the ground, discouraging them from venturing away from the barn.

A few weeks ago, they broke into the hay storage and made a messy nest for themselves in there. They are obviously starting to look for winter cover.

Tyson and Mocha, the calves, have discovered that the chicken coop is not very comfortable with its concrete floor. One calf tiptoed up the steps into the coop last week, only to be trapped inside. He consequently broke out through the lower window.

Our cows, Ginger and Betty, did some further investigating and discovered a way into the old log barn.

We will clean it up for them and allow them to stay. It even has a manger. I half expect Joseph and Mary to show up soon, on Donkey’s back. All the barn needs is a star above it.

Students receive recognition SPECIAL TO THE WEEKENDER St. Lawrence College celebrated student success at its annual Student Recognition Night on Wednesday, Oct. 29, in Cornwall. The event took place at the Ramada Inn and Conference Centre.

Every year both returning and graduating students are recognized for their academic excellence, community involvement, contribution to the quality of college life, outstanding achievement and professional potential.

Donkey had discovered a new game of chasing Lily, probably because he liked the way she yelled. My daughter had reported this to me, as she watched from the window: “That Donkey is going to give your little lamb

a heart attack, Mom.” Sure enough, when we returned from our trip, Lily was lying in the barnyard, dead. There wasn’t a mark on her. We’ve lost other lambs, but this is the first to make me cry. I’m not blaming Donkey, but he probably knows what happened.

Sometimes I wonder if I fed her too much or gave her too much preventative medicine against the virus that was taking some of the other lambs. I probably should have separated Donkey from the lambs when Paulina told me he was chasing them.

protecting Lily. I hoped she would be one of the lambs that would grow up to have her own babies and stay with us for a decade or more. We have some ewes that old in our herd. Because of the weeks that I spent feeding her, I also harboured hopes that she would remember the sound of my voice. Normally the males tend to be the friendlier newborn lambs. I don’t know why this is. But Lily was different. She had a friendly, trusting nature.

Perhaps there will be another Lily in this next batch of newborn lambs.

With any luck.

Holiday light contest brings out the best NATHAN JAHN WEEKENDER STAFF They come in the night to look very closely at your homes. They sneak; sometimes enough to attract police attention.

They’re the judges for Manotick’s Village of Lights – a celebration of community spirit in the throes of winter, hosted by the Business Improvement Area (BIA).

What do the winners get?

A hockey stick acting as a flagpole for a small sign that

will indicate who the winners are. It’s not much of a prize; but the annual competition is more about the community spirit that it engenders than the prizes awarded.

“The purpose of it, ultimately, is to get people out to drive around and see the homes,” said Pat Connor from his offices at Edward Jones in Manotick. “Some of these homes ... their decorations are just incredible.”

Connor spearheads the yearly contest and is a part of the seven-person panel of judges responsible for

selecting the winners for each of the seven areas that Manotick is divided into for the judging.

“What we do is divide the Manotick area up into seven different areas. We have one judge assigned to each area; therefore we have seven judges,” said Connor. “That judge - usually with family in tow - goes around and looks at every house in the area – so it’s a big job.”

The judges will be traveling around the seven areas of town during the preliminary

round of judging, from Dec. 11-14, and selecting five finalists that will be revisited during the final judging on Dec. 18-20.

Connor urges people to have their lights on during both rounds because, he said, a home might not be lit during the preliminary round and then be noticed during the final round (or vice versa) and be disqualified because it was viewable in both rounds of judging.

Connor also passed along a story of being pulled over by police officers in the vil-

lage who were suspicious of the slow driving he was doing. Of course, once the situation was explained the officers let him continue on as before.

There is only one category for the residential judging, but two separate categories for the businesses within the BIA’s range: window and full grounds.

There is one winner and two runners-up in each category (seven different winners and 14 runners-up for the residential judging): Totaling 21 hockey sticks act-

ing as flagpoles.

Last year’s winners for businesses were Just Imagine and the French Café.

As well, the group of judges will also highlight streets that have an overflow of decorated homes; just to let people know which streets should be toured around at night.

Island Drive, said Connor, is a particularly good street every year.

COMMENTARY

NOVEMBER 21, 2008 - OTTAWA SOUTH WEEKENDER - PAGE 7

Lest we Forget — 90 years of remembering GLENN BROOKS COUNCILLOR RIDEAU GOULBOURN

T

he eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month 90 years ago was to end all great wars.

Those who have carried the torch and those of us who have placed our trust in those who make great and far-reaching decisions well know, the end of that Great War didn’t achieve that great goal.

Over the last two weeks, many of us have attended numerous ceremonies honouring and remembering

Glenn Brooks those who made the supreme sacrifice, not only in the two world wars, but also in those conflicts where peace and security is threatened — Korea, Europe, Africa.

At home, the Dominion

has experienced conflict in its struggle to become Canada, a nation.

Our early history was founded on conflict between the English, the French and the First Nations People.

Then, there were the repelled American invasions of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

In addition, the Upper and Lower Canada rebellions of 1837 gave birth to responsible government. The Riel Rebellion of 1865 expanded Canadian influence westward.

During the world wars and since, Canadian soldiers have demonstrated great courage

LISA THERIAULT, B.A., A.M.P 613-860-1825

and resolve. During times of conflict and on peacekeeping missions our men and women, have served, and continue to serve, with distinction — a level of service that has gained world recognition and appreciation.

Standing before the cenotaph in the Village of Manotick, I was struck by the crowd. In the 30 years of attending services in our rural communities, I have not seen as many in attendance.

Our remaining vets of previous conflicts, a little older, their steps a little slower,

were very much aware of the importance of the ceremony about to unfold.

One could see that some if not all, were allowing past memories of comrades and events to resurface not only in the quietness leading up to the ceremony, but as well during the placing of the wreaths.

I want to recognize our school children and thank those teachers who took the time to participate.

To the cadets, again, job well done!

To our servicemen and

women, may God be with you and your families always.

Following the march back our new Legion Hall, Branch 314 was open to overflowing crowds.

Those who saw the Ottawa Sun’s Nov. 11 edition’s front page, will recognize Legionnaire Ramsay Brown.

That picture really does embody what Remembrance Day is all about.

As always, I am here to serve: 580-2424 ext. 31310 or e-mail: glenn.brooks@ Ottawa.ca.

COMMENTARY

COYOTE UGLY: THOMPSON Park and Ride Transit Levy for Rural Residents on Nov. 10. Council will consider this recommendation on Nov. 26. While the Levy amount is only $3.06 a year, I am disappointed that committee refused my request to charge only those who use the Park and Ride Lots. This is the most fair and equitable solution.

GLOUCESTERSOUTH NEPEAN Draft Transportation Master Plan Officials at the City of Ottawa have developed its draft transportation master plan.

The plan calls for travel time reductions, operating cost savings, downtown capacity increases, improved mobility and increased ridership from development and intensification.

I am very concerned, however, that the draft plan does not adequately address the current and future needs of South Ottawa. Like many residents, I believe that the North-South LRT fiasco was a major step backwards for residents and all taxpayers.

I continue to hold the view that we need to pick up the pieces and proceed with transit solutions that are construction ready; this includes the North-South LRT project.

I also believe that whatever rail line is pursued, it will need a rail yard available in South Ottawa.

Be assured that I will continue to press for transit solutions. I am very interested in your view and feedback.

1-888-3-KINLAR KILLER BLUES, MAN: James Doran, the mind behind the highly successful Blues on the Rideau Series stands with the David Rotundo band after one of their shows. Rotundo (pictured below) is coming to the area on Nov. 29.

WEEKENDER STAFF Ever get the blues for charity?

James Doran does.

The man behind Choose The Blues Productions - the company responsible for the very popular Blues On The Rideau Series that’s been running for the last four years — is bringing the highly successful format to Navan.

Featuring famed Canadian David Rotundo and his band, Blues at the Brewpub — set for Nov. 29 — promises to be an evening of fine food, drink, dance and – of course – blues. All of the proceeds go to the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO).

Doran saw the chance to bring his successful format to the area shortly after mov-

ing to Kenmore. “I developed the Blues on the Rideau Series and it’s proven very successful,” he said. “We’ve raised a bunch of money for charities.”

While the evening is set aside for charity, Doran admits that he has an ulterior motive: to showcase fine Canadian blues talent. Many of the artists featured through the series’ have won blues music awards. Rotundo, for example, won the 2007 Maple Blues Award for harmonica player of the year and is nominated for electric artist of the year in 2008.

“We have such great talent in this country and it’s such a great treat to see them up close and personal,” said Doran. “It all stems from my passion for the music and I love blues. I honestly believe we have some of the best blues artists in the world.

You just don’t hear it on the

airwaves around here.”

But beware: you won’t any “headbangers” in the audience, said Doran. “In four years there hasn’t been one incident; we don’t need bouncers and people aren’t getting messy drunk,” he said. “But there’s always lots of dancing.”

This is the first such fundraiser in the area and will be used as a baseline to determine if future blues events are self-sustainable. But Doran is excited about the prospect of teaming up with O’Meara’s and the Draft Horse Microbrewery (one of the few in Eastern Ontario).

“When I moved in August and we bought a house in Kenmore, I met the guys running O’Meara’s and they have this micro-brewery attached,” said Doran. “They thought the idea was great and they said ‘we’d like to try and get one going here.’

We’ve decided to do the first one as a test market to see if the demand is there; if enough people will show up.”

The evening gets kicked off at 7 p.m. with a delicious buffet and then Rotundo takes the stage at 8:30.

Tickets are priced at $49 (tax included) and a portion of that is guaranteed to make its way into CHEO's bank account - regardless of whether or not the organizers make any profit on the event.

So come on out for Blues at the Brewpub and kick off those Sunday shoes for some groovin' blues dancing.

Tickets are advance sales only and can be bought by contacting O’Meara’s at (613) 835-9883. Visit www. choosetheblues.ca for more information about the event. nathan.jahn@metroland.com

Many other organizations are involved in the planning process and as events are formalized we will inform you of their nature and dates. At this stage we can tell you that some events that have taken place in the past will be “bigger” in 2009.

The first event will be a kick-off to the 150th birthday party with a New Year’s Party celebrating the new Legion Building. Then Shiverfest in January, Manotick

Musicale in April, Art Association Show in May, Dickinson Days in June and the “Highlight” event over the Civic Holiday weekend in July/August when a “Homecoming” celebration of major proportions will be held on the arena grounds.

October will be the Haunted Harvest celebration and in December Manotick’s Olde Fashioned Christmas.

There will be many other events and projects taking place during the year; we invite you to watch the local newspapers for details.

Here’s the idea. We want to show everyone how the spirit of Manotick is alive in

all of us, and why this is such a great place to bring up our kids. So far, we have events lined up for many weekends throughout the year, many are events that already take place but will be “bigger and better” this year. Our dream is to have one fabulous event each month for the entire year of 2009.

That is where you come in. Check out our site - www. manotick150.ca and learn what’s been going on behind the scenes. Then choose something ... anything ... and get involved.

Together, let’s make 2009 a year that will be remembered for a lifetime.

Manotick truck traffic creates concerns

SPECIAL TO THE WEEKENDER The story of Brandon Crisp has touched people across Canada, but is particularly felt at Metroland newspapers because Brandon’s mother, Angelika Crisp, works at the Barrie Advance, a paper owned by our same parent company.

Brandon went missing from his home in Barrie on Oct. 13 after a fight over video game use. The community rallied to search for the 15-year-old boy.

His body was found on Nov. 5. Police do not suspect foul play in his death.

His parents have launched the Brandon Crisp Foundation in his name to help underprivileged children play minor sports in partnership with the Canadian Tire JumpStart program. Brandon loved to play sports so his parent felt it was very appropriate to help other children have a chance to participate.

issue of heavy trucks on Bridge Street through the lens of traffic delays, not safety — an issue the report addresses: “Based on the foregoing then, and considering that Motion 30/13, to which this report is responding, specifically notes that ‘… the amount of heavy truck traffic contributes to significant traffic delays within and surrounding the Village of Manotick’ — a situation that may only arise during peak periods — it appears fair to say that based on peakperiod counts taken during the past eight years, Bridge Street automobile traffic has increased at a far greater pace than has truck traffic.”

In terms of safety, however, Brooks believes truck traffic should be removed — or at least some other form of traffic-control measure brought in.

209946

That trundling, rattling noise you hear at all times of day in Manotick’s core will continue.

It may look like Optimus Prime or Devastator from the Transformers, but it’s really just everyday truck traffic going through the intersection of Manotick Main and Bridge Streets.

City staff — as part of a order stemming from a Jan. 23 meeting of Ottawa city council — reported to the Transportation committee and council (on Sept. 29) that truck traffic on Manotick’s Bridge Street would remain as it is for the foreseeable future.

Rideau-Goulbourn Ward Coun. Glenn Brooks has spent years trying to get heavy trucks (five tonnes or more) removed from Manotick’s busiest intersection; he would like to see some extra form of trafficcontrol measures installed along that stretch of road.

“We tried to get (trucks) restricted,” said Brooks

Brooks isn’t very optimistic about truck traffic being diverted from the downtown core until construction on the Strandherd Bridge is completed (if it is completed), which will offer another arterial crossing over the Rideau River.

“What I am attempting to do — and there seems to be some understanding — is to get some sort of control system onto Bridge Street that would allow the people from the south end of the island to get onto Bridge Street,” said Brooks. “It would slow traffic down going past the school and medical centre … those two areas on Bridge Street are an accident waiting to happen. In the most recent history, we haven’t had fatalities — thank God — but that isn’t to say the potential isn’t there.”

Unfortunately, council directed staff to look at the

about the motion he and Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder put forward at the Jan. 23 meeting of council. “I knew it would not work because I had tried that several times in the past, but it was worth an effort and we did have council’s support.”

City staff based their report on a number of assumptions while working off a 12hour window (from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.) and came up with four “obvious impacts of a truck ban on Bridge Street.”

Additional costs to owners and operators of vehicles (as staff estimates an additional 4.81 million kilometers of distance will be tacked on annually), additional costs for goods, additional congestion on adjacent routes during rush hour and additional safety concerns for diversion road users.

Staff are suggesting that on average there are 962 trucks travelling along Bridge St. in that 12-hour window and diverting them could cause significant traffic problems in the other two Rideau crossings; the bridge traversing Hunt Club Road and the bridge in Kars.

iting but I didn’t have a lot of interest in living there. I went a different route.”

That path has taken him to arenas around the globe, honing an eye for talent that he’ll tell you didn’t arrive overnight.

“You have to work at it,” he said. “It’s not like you just step in and (know it). You learn every day. Some guys have an eye for it and some guys don’t.

“I’ve learned a lot working with Bryan and Tim. It’s a process when you start amateur scouting. You look at where some of these players are four years later, and it’s not a perfect science, that’s for sure. Anybody that tells you they’re 100 per cent right all the time is wrong. But it’s a lot of fun.”

Flahr calls scouting “kind of an art form. It’s a lot of projecting and sometimes luck, but you just hope you draft good kids that are willing to work hard at their game. That’s half the battle.”

The skinny: The Rangers have rocketed out of the gate with the Eastern Conference’s best record. Newcomers Nikolai Zherdev and Markus Naslund have been key offensive contributors to an attack that’s also received timely scoring from less-heralded Brandon Dubinsky and Aaron Voros. Don’t forget about second-year Rangers Scott Gomez and Chris Drury, either. Longtime Senators star Wade Redden has been the biggest addition to a New York blue line that also features veteran Michal Rozsival. In Henrik Lundqvist, the Blueshirts own one of the NHL’s finest goaltending talents.

By Rob Brodie OttawaSenators.com There are few sure things when it comes to mining good hockey talent.

But it’s in the chase that Brent Flahr finds a lot of his enjoyment – and greatest satisfaction – as the Ottawa Senators’ director of hockey operations. The 34-year-old native of Courtenay, B.C., works closely with general manager Bryan Murray and assistant GM Tim Murray, and oversees the Senators’ scouting staff at both the pro and amateur levels.

He’s also Tim Murray’s right-hand man with the Senators’ American Hockey League affiliate in Binghamton, N.Y. For a guy who’s had a true passion for the game since he first started playing minor hockey on Vancouver Island, it’s the greatest of gigs. Flahr is in his second full campaign with the Senators after spending seven seasons with the Florida Panthers organization (1996-2003), followed by four years as a Vancouver-based amateur scout with the Anaheim Ducks. He’s worked with Bryan Murray at every stop along the way.

“I love the game and the people in the game are good,” said Flahr.

“It’s a challenge every year. I was lucky enough to (be part of) a Cup winner (in 2007) in Anaheim when I was there – it was an unbelievable feeling. It’s the goal every year and only one team can win. But it’s fun chasing it and if you love the game, it’s a great job.”

Flahr played four years of U.S. college hockey at Princeton University but, unlike a lot of his classmates, didn’t dream of a career in high finance.

“It’s a liberal arts school, so most of the people there are going to Wall Street or that kind of thing,” said Flahr, who resides in Kanata with his wife, Dana. “I’m a small-town B.C. kid so New York City.… I like vis-
