gust 2011 due to storm damage. Shortly after it came down Larry McCloskey, director of Carleton’s Paul Menton Centre for Students with Disabilities, approached the university with the idea of recreating the fallen tree into a sculpture. “One day I was out walking my dog and I saw the Brighton Beach slowly falling down. So I called the city and I was in talks with them for two years,” he said. The piece, McCloskey said, is a masterpiece, and will be the logo for the summit.

News - A vision to convert Main Street into a “complete street” narrowly gained the support of the city’s transportation committee on July 5. The proposal to reduce vehicle lanes from four to two, adding instead bicycle lanes and wider sidewalks, sparked a four-hour ideological debate about how transportation modes should be prioritized in the city. Concerned about slowing down south-end commuters and limiting the development potential of 27 acres of Oblate land on Main Street that’s set to be redeveloped, councillors almost voted against the community-supported vision for fewer car lanes on Main Street. Transportation committee chairman Keith Egli, the councillor for KnoxdaleMerivale Ward, said now is the time for city council to undertake a progressive project like this. “We’ve heard strongly this morning from the public … that this is what they want,” Egli said. “How many times does that happen in this room? Very, very rarely.”

It was just a year ago that Westboro artist David Fels and Carleton University unveiled the first sculpture from the trunk of the tree. Now the sculptor is working on “take two” for him and the

tree. “I learned a lot about the nature of a bur oak tree, specifically this tree; how it moves and how I move with it, but with this piece, it’s almost like a new start,” Fels said.

City planners on quest to define ‘character’ Ottawa charting new territory in an effort to regulate the look of neighbourhoods Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - City planners are having a tough time trying to describe in enforceable language a home that doesn’t fit the neighbourhood’s character. The city had one big win when it defended its infill design guidelines at the Ontario Municipal Board earlier this year, said city planner Elizabeth Desmarais, when the board ruled the city does have the right to regulate character. “Most importantly, the board indicated that when we speak about neighbourhood character, what we’re really talking about is the look as we go along the street,” Desmarais told the planning committee on June 25. But the OMB sent the city back to the drawing board on a number of issues related to how the city could enforce the rules it created to try and prevent homes from being built that are grossly incompatible with the neighbourhood. “They said staff didn’t go far enough to prove character and patterns in established neighbourhoods,” Desmarais said. Since then, Desmarais and her fellow planners have been scrambling to document what factors contribute to creating “character” in different communities. So far, they have looked at 500 lots, but they need more time to finish up that research and write a bylaw that could legally enforce it. Staff is looking at factors such as how far back from the street the homes are built, The positioning of walkways, the elevation of the ground a home is built on top of and the location and

distance between driveways, as well as the type of parking facility – pad, carport, garage, etc. The OMB was also displeased that the city’s rules were only proposed to apply to new homes and not additions on existing homes. The changes will be much broader than anticipated, said planning lawyer Murray Chown, who spoke to the planning committee on June 25. In an unusual move, Chown, who is usually an advocate for developers, joined forces with Hintonburg Community Association president Jeff Leiper to ask the city to consider consulting those who may be affected. “It may be unusual to see us together but we do have some common concerns,” Chown said. “It sounds like the department is taking that opportunity of the direction from the board to go back and totally revamp the infill design guidelines bylaw … I don’t know whether that’s a good or bad thing.” Chown said developers and community advocates had thought the city would entertain a “dialogue” with them while they work out the fix. The planning committee approved the direction staff are taking with updating the infill design guidelines to fulfill the OMB’s orders, but the work is sure to go beyond the five-month deadline the OMB set for Aug. 8. The city’s planners and lawyers hope the OMB will provide more time if Ottawa can show it’s working hard to tackle the issues. After council approves the rules, the city will head back to the OMB to argue whether the city has the jurisdiction to enforce the rewritten rules and whether the guidelines represent good land-use planning.

Canadian soldiers head to Netherlands for 160-km march Nevil Hunt nevil.hunt@metroland.com

News - Canadian soldiers will walk in the footsteps of their forefathers when they visit the Netherlands later this month. Over four days, members of the Canadian Armed Forces will cover 160 kilometres on foot as they take part in the International Four Days Marches Nijmegen. All 178 members will wear their standard uniforms and carry a pack weighing at least 10 kilograms as they walk the same terrain where many Canadian soldiers died while liberating the Netherlands during the Second World War. The Nijmegen marches began in 1909 as part of the training for Dutch soldiers. The four-day event has since become an international phenomenon, drawing both civilian and military walkers. This will be the 61st year that members of Canada’s military have been part of the four-day march. Many of the soldiers who will walk from July 16 to 19 met at the Canadian War Museum on July 3 for a departure parade at-

Among those travelling to Europe for the 2013 march is Armed Forces reservist Steve Lasalle, who grew up in Barrhaven. Lasalle, 38, is a sublieutenant and a cadet instructor who works with the 96 Dundas Sea Cadet Corps, near Hamilton, Ont. He said he applied to be part of the Nijmegen march for three reasons – most importantly to “honour the sacrifice� of Canadians killed in action. “I also want to demonstrate to the cadets the aims of the program,� Lasalle said, listing physical fitness as a key as-

Wildlife strategy doesn’t go far enough: opponents Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

LAURA MUELLER/METROLAND

The city’s proposed wildlife strategy is seeking to reduce the number of animals that need to be caught and destroyed in the urban area, but critics charge the new guidelines don’t go far enough. in the type, Stow said. The strategy proposing a “balanced and humane approach” received little vetting from about a dozen delegates who spoke to planning committee. For the most part, they focused on deficiencies in the process used to arrive at the strategy. They called for an additional public meeting. Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt urged speakers to provide substantive feedback so the committee could address if there are parts of the policy that need beefing up.

There is still opportunity to make minor changes before the policy goes to council on July 17, said Nick Stow, the city planner who authored the report. He encouraged people to submit “constructive feedback.” Stow said another public meeting wouldn’t be helpful because the major issues, conflicts and solutions have been identified. Rehashing worries about beaver management, euthanasia and educational materials – the most controversial elements – would just be repetitive and not

productive, Stow said. “The biggest issue is (that) we have is people from the urban area moving into the rural area,” said West Carleton-March Coun. Eli El-Chantiry. People who grew up in a rural area often have the basic knowledge and skills needed to deal with wildlife, but people from an urban area may not. The new wildlife strategy emphasizes that many human-wildlife conflicts can be prevented or solved by better understanding the dynamic. “Many conflicts result from carelessness or lack of knowledge of private citizens and public officials regarding the needs and behaviours of wildlife, especially urban wildlife. Property owners may inadvertently create the conditions that attract wildlife and put them at risk,” the proposed strategy reads. Alastaire Henderson, a Lowertown

News - The city’s new wildlife strategy doesn’t go far enough to protect beavers before the agriculture and rural affairs committee approved it on July 4. The city has been picking away at a wildlife strategy since early 2010, when council ordered a review following a series of issues with coyotes. Since then, a number of moose have had to be destroyed and urban sprawl has introduced suburban homes to areas that have habitats for animals like wild turkeys. Liz White, spokesperson, Ontario Wildlife Coalition, said the city’s claim that he strategy will reduce the number of beaver killed is unrealistic. She sat on the working group for the wildlife strategy but resigned in 2012 over disagreements with the policy’s direction. “There are no protections for beaver in the vast majority of the city of Ottawa if you pass this strategy,” she said. Currently, the city traps and kills around 150 beavers each year. Stow said the city could reduce the number of beavers it traps and kills by half over 10 to 15 years if it makes better use of “beaver deceivers” to protect culverts. The fences or other devices are used to block off the area of infrastructure like culverts, which the beavers tend to build dams around, damaging and flooding the culverts. But there is no funding in place to pay for those devices, which can cost between $200 and $2,000, depending

east resident who spoke to the committee, said she felt the consultation on the strategy started out with more consideration of the effects of wildlife in urban areas as well as rural areas, but became a rural-focused issue as the project drew to a close. Iola Price, a New Edinburgh resident and wildlife biologist, agreed. “The growth of trees and shrubs in urban areas … means wildlife will continue to move into the urban areas,” she said. El-Chantiry said the city needs to do more than simply post information on a website when it comes to informing the public about what to do when they encounter wildlife. Stow said the city does put together an information package for new residents, but admitted many people probably don’t bother reading it. He said adding a wildlife resources officer would create a point person who could respond to concerns and undertake targeted education. The city will be using the wildlife strategy as direction when it other documents and educational materials that will be needed to support the strategy. Planning an urban wildlife speaker series and additional school outreach should also help spread the word about how to deal with wildlife, Stow said. City planning manager Lee Ann Snedden added that her department could write up some materials the councillors could use to help promote the strategy and offer opportunities for input to contribute to tweaking the strategy and its implementation. The city’s role is limited when it comes to dealing with conflicts between people and animals on private property. Most of that responsibility is supposed to lay with the provincial Ministry of Natural Resources. But that department has been neutered over time by incremental budget cuts, El-Chantiry said – leaving the city to pick up the slack. “In the absence of the MNR doing their job, we are trying to be nice (and) pick up the slack,” he said.

Residents, developers find common ground on infill concerns Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Community members and builders often spar over balancing the desire to protect neighbourhoods with the need to maintain development potential, but at a recent meeting they did find some common ground over the factors that should be considered as the city drafts new infill design rules. While the first phase of the infill guidelines – currently under legal appeal from a group of developers – focused on parkways and greenery, the second phase gets to the heart of the issue: the height and mass of new homes in established communities inside the greenbelt. The fourth in a series of workshops was held at the Sandy Hill Community Centre on July 5 and Action Sandy Hill board member Sophie Beecher introduced participants to the context of the neighbourhood to kick off the session. “We seem to be at the crossroads of different pressures here in Sandy Hill,� she said, referencing the need to house students of the nearby University of Ottawa, transit-oriented development and the pressure of people wanting to move into a low-rise neighbourhood with good access to the downtown core. Sandy Hill is experiencing infill in a way that completely maximizes the building envelope, Beecher said. That’s what’s driving the need for new rules, city planner Carol

LAURA MUELLER/METROLAND

Action Sandy Hill board member Sophie Beecher, right, speaks to city planner Steve Gauthier, the lead planner on the city’s latest infill study, during a July 5 workshop held at the Sandy Hill Community Centre. Ruddy told the group she led during the workshop. “Now we’re seeing people maxing out the existing zoning capacity that has remained unused for 100 years, in some cases,� she said. “Zoning doesn’t necessarily reflect the character of the neighbourhood.� What was once a “trickle� of infill applications is now a flood, said city planning manager Alain Miguelez. More than 1,600 applications for small-scale infill housing have been filed with the city in the past five years. Participants groaned as Beecher showed photos of converted and expanded homes in Sandy Hill that dwarf their neighbours. That prompted Rolf Rob-

illard, who works with local builder Prime Development and Constructors, to defend his industry. “Why don’t we look forward?� he said. “These people didn’t do anything wrong.� “They didn’t do anything wrong,� Beecher conceded, but she added that doesn’t mean they are appropriate for the neighbourhood. Robillard said the city must proceed with caution when it comes to reducing the development potential of people’s properties. “You’re destroying the possibility of a homeowner selling the lot and making a profit,� he said. Both community members

and developers alike overwhelmingly agreed that building height is the most important factor to determine whether a home will complement neighbouring dwellings. “Height is the biggest element,� said Al Bateman, a local developer. “That sets the mass (of the building). Participants debated the need for side- and rear-yard setbacks and delved into a more esoteric discussion about the importance of distance from neighbours and privacy versus access to private greenspace and the environmental benefits of tree canopy and stormwater drainage. Action Sandy Hill board member Chad Rollins said the rear-yard distance from a neighbouring property is almost as critical as the building’s height. “I never understood why a line could not be drawn at the existing building line in the backyards,� he said. Making all of the backyards along a street a uniform size would make the most sense, he said. All the participants acknowledged the challenge of defining specific design rules that could apply to all of the various neighbourhoods inside the greenbelt, but local builder Denis Michaud put it best: “We’re trying to get subjective matters written down into rules,� he said. “That’s hard to do.� Feedback from the workshops will be used to draft some new rules that will be presented to the public in the early fall. The issue of converting homes into apartments or rooming houses for multiple residents was a frequently referenced concern during the meeting. Gauthier reminded participants that the city is undertaking a parallel study on home conversions and a public meeting on that issue will be held Sept. 16.

Byelections only delay inevitable

B

yelections are traditionally an opportunity for voters to protest public policy and punish the government. But Premier Kathleen Wynne has taken it one step further by scheduling five byelections on Aug. 1 – a couple days before the start of a long weekend – and in effect punishing the voters, by staging a vote during the dead of summer. The byelections were triggered by the resignations of five Liberals, including former premier Dalton McGuinty, long-time MPP of Ottawa South. The scheduling of the byelections is a little suspicious -- is the government hoping to escape the lash of the voter by staging them during a time that will attract the minimum number of people? We’re not talking about the dyed-in-wool Liberal/ Conservatives/NDP supporters, the kind who would cast their ballots in the middle of a hurricane. No, the timing of the summer byelection is aimed squarely at the balance of the electorate: the undecideds, the swing vote and, of course, the cottage country enthusiasts. In a perfect world, every Ontarian would take it as their duty to vote in every election, be they federal, provincial or municipal. But we don’t live in a perfect world, and we

only need to look at the dismal turnout for the last provincial election to prove that. A byelection figures to attract a remarkably smaller crowd. When scheduling an election, a government should endeavour to hold it during a time period designed to attract the most people possible. Unfortunately, this is a truism that only holds if the government actually wants people to vote. In fact, Premier Kathleen Wynne wants to avoid an election – byelection or general – for as long as humanly possible. For the few months she’s been in power, the fledgling premier has been bailing water for the Good Ship Liberal, cleaning up the mess left behind by Dalton McGuinty, who resigned shortly before the government was hammered with scandals, such as the gas plant fiasco and a police investigation of the Ornge air ambulance service. Meanwhile, the electorate waits with baited and steaming breath, looking to wreak vengeance on the Liberals by cleaning house in the next general election. While we commend the political acumen of our premier, she might want to consider simply biting the bullet and holding a general election – not during a civic holiday – as soon as possible. To do otherwise is just delaying the inevitable.

Coming soon to a corner store near you – or not

T

here was some excitement in the newspapers recently over the possibility of beer and wine being sold in corner stores in Ontario. This is always a big story whenever it reappears, as it always does. A good guess is that it is a big story because beer and wine are important to journalists, the people who make the decisions about what’s a big story. It’s not important because journalists like beer and wine more than the next fellow does. It’s important because journalists think it should be more important. There’s a self-image thing at work here. Newspaper people have long had the reputation of being hard drinkers. For some reason they like that reputation, even though it has long ceased to be deserved. Once it certainly was, but these days, if you go out to lunch with five newspaper guys, the heavy drinker will be the one ordering Perrier while the others all have tap water. Anyway, beer in the corner store becomes a big story, just like the ones that say wine is good for your heart. Wishful thinking is what it is and journalists are just as capable of it as anyone else.

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town alcohol sales.� This is a bit of a tipoff that beer and wine in corner grocery stores isn’t much closer than it ever was. When a politician is asked a question and won’t answer definitely one way or another, the journalist’s last resort is to ask: “Would you rule it out?� Very few politicians dare to rule anything out completely, because they need to leave room to change their minds. So they say no, they wouldn’t rule it out, and you get a headline like that. Charles Sousa, the finance minister of Ontario, told reporters that there are no plans to change the structure of the Liquor Control Board of Ontario. His predecessor as finance minister turned down a request only a year ago to allow convenience stores to sell beer and wine. But then -- “asked repeatedly

Wednesday whether he’d allow convenience stores to sell booze, Sousa wouldn’t rule it out.� He wouldn’t rule it in either, despite being asked repeatedly, and probably for good reason. No one has come up with much in the way of justification for making the change. Customers aren’t suffering from the current system. In all but the most remote areas, no one is very far away from a Beer Store or an LCBO. The main impetus for the current discussion is the Mac’s convenience store chain, which says it will create jobs. It might also create trouble, which is probably why previous Ontario governments haven’t ruled the idea in. It is difficult enough now to keep booze out of the hands of underage drinkers and those who have had more than enough in an evening. Putting the corner store into the picture is going to increase the difficulty. Sure, the idea of creating jobs is nice, but the people in those jobs will have an unfair burden placed upon them. While employees for the LCBO and the Beer Store are wellpaid and well-trained to handle difficult situations, is it fair or realistic to ask the same of a convenience store employee, often working alone late at night?

If some greater good was involved, maybe that would be worth the risk, but it is difficult to see where the greater good is. Shorter distances, longer hours? Certainly Charles Sousa’s predecessors have had difficulty seeing it. They might even think that Ontario has more urgent priorities, even if wine really is good for your heart. The only remaining question is why, given all this, Sousa is not more unequivocal on the subject. It may just be that he understands his role in the press conference games journalists play. I wouldn’t rule that out.

Nature: the least important most important thing

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse impact a bridge would have on the natural environment bordering the Aviation and Rockcliffe Parkways. Despite this, for years, the National Capital Commission has undervalued the impact of the bridge on sensitive ecosystems in the area. More importantly, it has ignored the integral role of nature to the people that live in the surrounding neighbourhoods. Instead, the NCC continued to fork over

At the announcement, held in front of the Montfort Hospital on June 17, Transportation Minister Glenn Murray cited the interruption to ambulance traffic as one of the primary reasons for the province’s rejection of the Kettle Island plan. That’s often been on the lengthy list of arguments against the bridge proposal. But top of mind for residents and the politicians that represent them has been the

millions of taxpayer dollars to an outside consulting firm, with the Kettle Island proposal predetermined as the best option. Unfortunately, as with so many things in modern society, the primary reason Kettle Island has been the favourite is because it was predicted to be the least expensive option. But that argument only holds if we only think about value in terms of money. What if we actually took the time to consider the value of the natural environment? The trees and wildlife east of downtown and bordering the Ottawa River are not merely nice to look at. They are essential to the emotional, intellectual and physical well-being of city residents.

natural environment. There are a vast number of studies that link human connection with nature to everything good: people that have parks nearby are more likely to actively commute, have lower blood pressure, lower BMI, fewer health issues overall and better overall mental health. Even those with mental health issues -depression, attention deficit disorder and stress -- have found that regular interaction with nature mitigates symptoms. As the city and province go forward, as proposed by Murray, to create a master transit plan, we can only hope that nature is considered, at minimum as the least important most important thing.

The university said negotiations are underway to move the finished piece to the Ottawa Convention Centre, location of the Carleton-hosted International Accessibility Summit on July 12-15, 2014. The summit will be the first international conference to promote access and inclusion for persons with disabilities for all aspects of life. The oak tree was being stored by the city and was delivered to the university, where Fels is currently chipping away at it. Fels said he and his family used to live in Old Ottawa South and when his children were younger they would walk by the large tree. “I used to always think that tree would be amazing to carve,� Fels said. When it came time to carve the trunk, Fels was the best candidate for the job, with more than three decades of experience carving wood and stone. The trunk is located under an alcove of the Architecture Building at the university. Fels has memorized the 14-foot long, 4,000-pound piece of oak, working the design out in his head, much like a computer program. “Normally I have a number of ideas or concepts swirling around in my mind and the Paul Menton Centre wanted a piece on inclusivity and accessibility, an idea I’ve been grappling with over the years,� he said. When he is done, the artist said it will be less than half that weight, but remain just as long and the end result will slightly resemble the symbol for infinity. People walking by the Architecture Building at the university will be able to see Fels whittle away at the oak for the next few months while he completes his project.

true as we collectively face the challenge of maintaining and altering a city that will accommodate our aging population. Mayor Jim Watson is devoting a lot of his personal energy these days to the examination of a city that will be senior-friendly. An aging population means health care costs are set to increase. It means that senior-friendly housing needs to be top of mind for developers. It means that any transit plan put in place will have to be accessible for people with varying disabilities. All these things are important. Also important is to have a city where not just seniors but all residents can have easy access to the

nyone who has watched Mad Men religiously for six seasons, as I have, will remember Don Draper’s classic line: “We’re creative, the least important most important thing there is.� I was meditating on this line during my morning run on the Rockcliffe Parkway and it occurred to me that, in a different context, “the least important most important thing� to humans is our natural environment. Last month, the Ontario government officially killed the plan in its current form to construct an interprovincial bridge at Kettle Island. I’m sure the cheers in my neighbourhood were heard across the city when the news broke.

Shakespeare troupe ready to let the foolishness begin Company of Fools returning to area parks for 10th season of torchlight theatre Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

Entertainment - A Company of Fools is once again hanging out in parks for your comedy pleasure this summer. The theatre troop opened up its 10th Torchlight Shakespeare season on July 3 in Strathcona Park with The Merry Wives of Windsor at 7 p.m. The Fools, who travel across the region and perform in community parks all summer long, offer patrons the chance to view Shakespeare under the stars. “In 2003, the Fools created what has since become our signature event – the annual Torchlight Shakespeare series,” the company posted on its website. “This event makes Shakespeare accessible by taking it out of the theatre and into neighbourhood parks each summer, allowing the Fools to bring our unique brand of Shakespeare right to your back yard.”

In keeping with the company’s foolish-fun, only six actors will take on the roles of more than 15 characters for the play, which is directed by Cartriona Leger. The shows will run from July 3 to Aug. 17 with a 7 p.m. start time each evening. While the shows are free for all, a hat will be passed around the audience to collect donations. The company will be visiting city parks from Orléans to Stittsville and every where in between. The Company of Fools is Ottawa’s oldest professional Shakespeare company and to celebrate its 24th year in operation and the 10th anniversary of the torchlight series, the festivities will continue into the fall this year with Torchlight Too: Hal & Falstaff. This second Torchlight will offer an adaptation of Henry IV Part 1 and 2 with bits of Henry V and Richard II thrown into the mix. The play will be adapted and directed

The Company of Fools launches its 10th year of Shakespeare in the park with The Merry Wives of Windsor in Strathcona Park on July 3. by founding Fool Margo MacDonald. This indoor production will tour to three different venues from Sept. 2 to 22. Tickets will be “pay what you can” donation, but audiences will

have the option to purchase tickets in advance, guaranteeing admittance, by booking ahead on eventbrite.ca for $20 per person. Both the summer productions will feature the same

group of talented artists – some familiar faces to Fools fans and some brand new foolish actors: Simon Bradshaw, John Doucet, Melanie Karin, Matthew John Lundvall, Geoff McBride and Ka-

tie Ryerson. Vanessa Imeson will design the costumes and sets for both productions. More information and a detailed schedule can be found at fools.ca or by contacting the Fools at 613-863-7529.

ELEGANT ALL-INCLUSIVE RETIREMENT LIVING AT A SURPRISINGLY AFFORDABLE PRICE

7

wo of the City’s finest all-inclusive retirement homes - the Duke of Devonshire on Carling Avenue nestled in the Island Park/ Civic Hospital neighbourhood, and Lord Lansdowne in the heart of the Glebe on Bank Street across from Lansdowne Park – are locally owned and operated by the Dymon Group of Companies. Over the years, Dymon has been extensively involved in the retirement industry and has gained a significant reputation for its relentless focus on delivering a 5-star lifestyle opportunity for seniors. This same customer service philosophy permeates everything Dymon does, perhaps best exemplified by its industry leading state-of-the-art storage facilities popping up all over Ottawa. Duke of Devonshire and Lord Lansdowne represent the newest generation in all-inclusive retirement living. Each resident has a large private suite and can select from different studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom models. Each suite is beautifully appointed with standard features including individual fireplaces, Jacuzzi tubs or walk-in showers, granite countertops, kitchenettes, and HD flat screen TV’s. Residents bring their own belongings so that their suite can really feel like home. Secure keyless entry and an advanced nurse call system are also in place to ensure the utmost security for residents.

5-STAR DINING Residents have unbridled access throughout each retirement home, including access to the elegant dining rooms, complete with linen table cloths, bone china and black-tie service. An Executive Chef caters to the culinary desires of the individual resident. Menus are designed after careful consultation with residents and offer an eclectic choice including a “healthy heart” selection at each mealtime sitting. Staff can also accommodate any special dietary need that a resident may have. “Dining is an important part of the day for our residents, so we work hard as a team to serve delicious food in a warm atmosphere,” offers Craig Domville, Executive Chef at the Duke of Devonshire. For special events, each Dymon residence also has an elegant private dining room where residents can host friends or family to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries or holiday events. Specialized menus can be designed for service in the private dining rooms. ATTENTION TO DETAIL From the moment you walk into the Duke of Devonshire and Lord Lansdowne you will be embraced by the attention to detail that Dymon has put into both of its retirement residences. “As a fully vertically integrated real estate development company, we build all of our properties to be both aesthetically attractive as well as efficient from an operations perspective,” says Steve Creighton, Senior Vice President at Dymon. “Being locally owned and operated, we are proud to be part of the community and we want our senior residents and their families to have a real sense of comfort, security and exceptional service. In addition, being locally managed means that we make timely decisions in the best interests of our residents, without multi layers of bureaucracy,” adds Creighton. Both the Duke of Devonshire and Lord Lansdowne have beautiful amenities including elegant lounges, fireplaces throughout, exquisitely furnished corridors and a unique “Promenade” walkway. “The indoor Promenade streetscape was designed with a European flair that gives you a real sense of strolling down a street lined with retail shops”, offers Creighton. Every aspect of Dymon’s retirement residences has been designed with seniors in mind. The exercise rooms are fully equipped with unique equipment, including Aqua Massage tables that allow residents to have invigorating massages while fully clothed, and T-Zone vibration equipment that enhances circulation as well as increasing muscle tone and strength. The luxury theatres have Dolby digital full surround sound, large 8’ by 12’ foot screens and luxurious customized seating. Special headphones are also available for residents with hearing impairment. If residents require transportation around the City, they can take advantage of Dymon’s complimentary, fully-equipped luxury vans with full-time drivers to assist them. There is even a luxurious tour bus that is used for the extensive number of day trips that occur regularly. For those residents who wish to drive themselves, heated underground parking complete with valet service is available.

COMFORT & SECURITY Dymon’s retirement homes offer many advanced features that provide peace of mind to residents and their families. A pendant nurse call system ensures that residents are able to call for assistance should they encounter any difficulties - pull stations are also installed throughout each suite. Controlled access to each residence along with an extensive network of security cameras ensures all activities in and around each residence are carefully monitored. In the case of power disruption, large diesel generators provide uninterrupted service and both residences are “emergency fuel qualified” meaning that they rank with hospitals for fuel delivery. Both residences also use an E-Meds system that is used for the dispensing of medication. This system routinely ensures that the right person is getting the right medication at the right times, and to allow for privacy all medications are dispensed to residents in their private suites. SURPRISINGLY AFFORDABLE Despite how beautiful the residences are with all of their exceptional lifestyle services, the monthly rental

AGE IN PLACE The Duke of Devonshire and Lord Lansdowne are all-inclusive assisted living retirement residences. “We find that a lot of seniors and their families are confused about the level of service offered in the marketplace. There is no question that moving to a retirement home is an important decision, and you certainly want to make sure that if your physical or cognitive condition changes over time you can be properly taken care of,” says Rochman. With Dymon’s age-in-place philosophy, resident care plans can be adapted as the situation changes. This provides peace of mind for residents that they can stay and not have to transfer to a long term care facility just because their health deteriorates. “And we really mean it!” says Rochman, ”Too many times we see situations where seniors have gone to other retirement homes thinking that they will be properly cared for when their condition changes, only to find out that the needed services are not available. This is very stressful to the seniors and their families. At the Duke of Devonshire and Lord Lansdowne we are committed to accommodating our seniors as they age in place,” stresses Rochman. Each residence also has a Special Care floor where residents suffering from more extensive cognitive decline can be

rates are surprisingly affordable. “We have a budget calculator on our websites that allows prospective residents to compare their existing living costs to their new lifestyle opportunity at either the Duke of Devonshire or Lord Lansdowne,” says Louise Rochman, Chief Operating Officer of Dymon’s healthcare group. “And when you list out all of the costs that you incur in your home including rising utility costs and property taxes, and you add repair costs, snow removal, grass cutting, food and other costs, it’s surprising how affordable living at the Duke and Lord can be.” Another important consideration in selecting a retirement residence is how the pricing works and whether the costs are all-inclusive (like at Dymon’s residences) or à la carte. “We feel that it is extremely important that our residents and their families can properly budget into the future,” offers Rochman. “That is why we offer one all-inclusive price from the beginning. In the event your physical or cognitive abilities change over time, you don’t have to worry about price increases usually associated with an à la carte arrangement that is very common in the industry.” The all-inclusive pricing covers such things as suite clean-

ing, personal laundry, 24-hour nursing support, and participation in the numerous on-going activities.

accommodated. “The great thing is that there is the same elegant look and feel as everywhere else in the residence. The only thing that is different is the more extensive staff involvement and the additional security”, adds Rochman.

is that once seniors start having their laundry and suite cleaning done for them, start enjoying delicious meals prepared by our Executive Chefs, and start participating in the numerous activities that go on daily, it really becomes a simple decision after that,” concludes Louise Rochman.

TRY THINGS OUT ON A SHORT TERM BASIS Both of Dymon’s retirement homes offer convalescent stays and short term accommodation. “For someone recovering from surgery, the Duke or the Lord is the ideal place to convalesce. With the relaxing surroundings, the great food, and the attentive nursing and other staff, you can really put your feet up and recover. Many families also find this to be a great service as the average person is not set up at home to properly care for a senior recovering from surgery,” emphasizes Devin Froislie. Given the importance of the decision to move to retirement living, at Lord Lansdowne and the Duke of Devonshire, prospective residents are given the chance to try things out before a permanent move. “We have had many residents choose to stay with us for a few days or a few weeks to experience first hand what we have to offer. Many seniors end up becoming permanent residents once they try us out on a temporary basis. The bottom line

FREE MOVE-IN TRANSITION SERVICES One of the very unique offerings provided by the Dymon Group is free transition services. “Many seniors know the time is right to move to retirement living, but having to deal with all of the stuff in their homes causes great stress and can be totally overwhelming. So we came up with the idea of helping out by providing free transition services to our residents,” says Devin Froislie, General Manager at Lord Lansdowne. The Transition Coordinator can assist with such things as booking movers, choosing which furniture to move to your suite, and doing your change of address. It is left to the senior and his or her family to decide the extent of services that they want. “At the end of the day, the whole move-in process ends up being much more relaxed and the senior can move in and not feel stressed. We constantly have residents and family members tell us that the transition services are wonderful and make the process much simpler,” adds Froislie.

Firebelly’s electric blues seeks to soothe the soul Michelle Nash

fans something a little different – an electric harp has been thrown into the mix. Gagnon is the lead singer and harp player. Carrière said Gagnon is a captivating storyteller, with the rare ability to make the audience feel as though they are living through the song. “It’s his sweet, powerful voice and electrifying harp playing,” he said. This electric harp is combined with the smooth and funky bass guitar playing by Grewal, McNeil’s lively drums and the guitar playing of Carrière to create what the band describes as a “stripped down” blues sound, influenced by blues legends such as Muddy Waters, Sonny Boy, B.B. King, Albert King, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Buddy Guy. The band also incorporates elements of funk, swing, folk, zydeco, roots and country. This year has been a busy one for the young band: within one year of existence they have represented the Ottawa Blues Society at the International Blues Challenge (Memphis), received commercial radio airplay on Ottawa’s local blues station and have been invited to perform in an all-blues showcase at Canadian Music Week.

Entertainment - Firebelly will flex its electric muscles at Bluesfest for the first time this July 13. Band members Fredy Carrière, Dan Grewal and Mike McNeil knew each other for many years before coming together to play a few tunes with fellow musician Mathieu Gagnon one December night. It was shortly after that evening that the band now known as Firebelly formed. Carrière said it was that particular winter evening jam session at the Rainbow Bistro that sparked the beginnings of the band. “From the first song, all of us knew we were on to something that night,” Carrière said. “(We) are good friends who enjoy creating and improvising. Each member contributes their unique personality and musical talent to the band.” The band has been moving quickly through the Ottawa-Gatineau music scene and will mark the first of what they hope will be many Bluesfest gigs on July 13 when they take to the Black Sheep stage at 5 p.m. The sound of Firebelly offers blues

Firebelly will perform at RBC Ottawa Bluesfest this July 13 on the Black Sheep stage at 5 p.m. For the performers, it’s not all about their own performance: the group said they are looking forward to hearing some of the bigger names hit the stage. “The line – up-blues and non-blues

Volunteers Marie-Anick Brazeau, left, Ankush Aggarwl and Murrray Fleming chop vegetables for the mobile kitchen at Bluesfest. There are two shifts of 25 volunteers that prep food at Algonquin College every day of the festival to provide the meals for the volunteers at Lebreton Flats.

You can’t rock out on an empty stomach Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - The day before Grand Funk Railroad was set to hit the stage for opening night at Bluesfest, the kitchens in the hospitality building at Algonquin College were all fired up. Scott Warrick, an instructor in the college’s culinary arts program has been preparing meals for volunteers at the festival for the last five years. “It’s great because we have some people who come back, (to cook) year after year,” he said, adding he has even recruited people into the college’s culinary program after their volunteer stint. Warrick likens the process to a military kitchen. Fifty volunteers – spread over two four-hour shifts each day - pre-

pare food for more than 1,500 volunteers on the ground at Lebreton Flats. Having volunteers come back, saves on the first aid supplies, Warrick joked, saying the first year there were a lot of Band-Aids and finger protectors handed out. Volunteers prepare dishes like tandoori chicken, fruit salads, pasta salads and a whole selection of items like burgers and fries. The food is made in the kitchens at Algonquin and then sent to the festival in a 16-metre mobile kitchen trailer. “Salads are really popular,” Warrick said, adding an average of 2,000 fruit salads are consumed each day by Bluesfest volunteers. Cathy Dewar, who works as an event manager at the college’s Restaurant Interna-

tional, handles the volunteers onsite. She’s gets to Lebreton Flats at 1 p.m. every weekday and by 9:30 a.m. on the weekend. Her team is made up includes about 220 servers. She said a lot of them are between the ages of 15 and 17, looking to get their volunteer hours while checking out the local music scene. “It’s often the first experience they have doing anything like this,” Dewar said. Working with young volunteers has its perks though, she said. “We have had a lot come back. I have even seen some through to graduation,” Dewar said. This is Dewar’s fourth year volunteering at the festival. She started doing it because of a love for music but now it’s interacting with the volunteers that keep her coming back. “I always try to sneak away to see some acts, but it never really works out, because it’s hard to leave and I don’t really want to,” she said.

the first time in 2010. The band started in 2006 with vocalist Matt Gower and guitarist Wayne Coulis, whose wives were both in the vet school at Guelph University. “We just started jamming at parties and people liked what they heard, so it grew from there,� Coulis said. Mike Short, a bassist who lives in the Glebe, is the band’s newest acquisition. He started playing with them last July. Gower, the vocalist, hails from south Ottawa, and said he initially he wrote most of the songs. Now the group tends to work as a team, and work together on recording in Coulis’s Nepean home. The band – whose style has a touch of Canadiana folk – has played the Branch in Kemptville, along with the Elmdale Tavern and the Black Sheep Inn in Wakefield. They are also regulars at the Rainbow Bistro. Gower, who also plays banjo, harmonica and mandolin, said they have been compared to Blue Rodeo. The style is a mix of the influences and each member’s tastes, he added. It’s Gower who coined the term garage folk, Coulis said he enjoys punk rock and D’Arcy has Celtic roots. Short said he grew up listening to Gordon Lightfoot and James Taylor and branched out to hip hop and indie rock. The band is excited to play Bluesfest for the second time, both to expand their audience and to see some of the other local acts on stage that day. Plans for the future include a CD release party later this summer or fall, and branching out to tour Ontario. “We’d like to hit Kingston, maybe Toronto,� McGuire said. “But we are pretty happy with where we are right now.� For more information on the band’s upcoming shows, visit www. capitalgrassandthenomen.com.

Roast chicken for two makes an easy meal Lifestyle - Just because you cook for one or two, don’t think the joy of a roast chicken dinner is just too much effort. The roasting times have been slashed in half, given choices of white or dark, baked essential veggies beside the chicken and seasoned all with the herbs that are adorned in a classic stuffing. And, oh yes, you even wind up with crispy skin. Preparation time: 15 minutes. Cooking time: 45 minutes. Serves two. INGREDIENTS

• 15 ml (1 tbsp) butter (at room temperature) • 1 ml (1/4 tsp) each dried sage leaves and salt (approximately) • 1 ml (1/4 tsp) ground savoury • 2 bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts or four thighs • 1 sweet potato, peeled • 10 ml (2 tsp) canola oil • 5 ml (1 tsp) dried rosemary or 15 ml (1 tbsp) finely chopped fresh rosemary • 5 ml (1 tsp) dried leaf thyme

leaves or 15 ml (1 tbsp) fresh thyme leaves • 1 onion, peeled • 1 sweet red pepper PREPARATION

In a small bowl, stir together the butter, sage, salt and savoury. Lift one edge of chicken skin and slide a finger between the skin and flesh across most of the breast,

leaving some skin edges attached. Rub most of the herbed butter onto the flesh. Then rub the remaining herbed butter over the skin. Sprinkle the skin with more sage and salt. Place the chicken at one end of large oiled rimmed baking sheet. Roast in a 200 C (400 F) oven for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, cut the potato into quarters and then into 2.5-centimetre (one-inch) pieces. Place in a bowl and sprinkle with oil, rosemary, thyme and generous pinch of salt. Toss the potato to coat. Slice the onion into six wedges and add to the bowl. Gently turn the onion to coat, keeping it intact. Cut the pepper into quarters. Baste the chicken with juices from the pan and spread the vegetables on the empty side of the pan and roast for 15 minutes. Baste again with the pan juices and turn the vegetables. Roast for 10 to 15 minutes or until chicken and vegetables are tender. Foodland Ontario

Deans worried about effect on commuters Continued from page 1

Egli pointed out that no residents from the city’s south end, especially GloucesterSouthgate Ward, came to the committee to speak against the plans. The councillor who represents that ward, Diane Deans, put forward the motion asking staff to keep the road four lanes, add bike lanes and then determine the cost it would take to eventually convert that road into the two-lane, complete-street vision. She was especially concerned about the impact on traffic between the time the construction is supposed to take place in 2014 and 2015 and the completion of the city’s light-rail line in 2018. Councillors Rainer Bloess, Allan Hubley, Scott Moffatt and Tim Tierney supported Deans’ idea, but her motion was defeated in a tie. The committee then voted 6-4 in favour of the completestreet plan. Ron Clark, a consultant from Delcan who is in charge of the project, said the proposed modifications would lengthen the commute for motorists by about three to five minutes.

Deans questioned the accuracy of transportation engineers’ counts of how many motorists would be affected. “You suggest it’s 300, I would suggest to you it’s a lot more,” Deans said, adding that staff presented an “unrealistic picture.” But Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson, the former transportation committee chairwoman, reminded her colleagues the changes wouldn’t mean drivers could not take Main Street. It means they might have to sit in traffic for a couple extra minutes, she said. Deans was combative with Old Ottawa East residents who spoke to the transportation committee. She said residents in her south-end ward are willing to accept their commuting route changing to a complete street, but only if Old Ottawa East residents agree to building the Alta Vista Transportation Corridor – a controversial proposed road connecting Old Ottawa East to Alta Vista over the Rideau River. Ziad Ghadban, the city’s manager for the Main Street project, said if traffic congestion encourages anyone to choose another mode of trans-

portation than a car, it’s a good thing that can help the city meet its transportation goals. Talk of prioritizing cycling did not sit well with Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley, who said the “social engineering” of telling people how to get around made him nervous. He also saw a potential danger in having cycling tracks that are raised to the same height as a sidewalk. Clark said the design would include trees, street lights and other intermittent barriers to provide some separation between cyclists and pedestrians. The committee also supported a motion that reaffirms the development potential for an additional 1,000 residents in the Oblate lands beside St. Paul University. That intensification goal is listed in the secondary plan, but Lloyd Phillips, a lawyer representing the Oblate Fathers, worried the reduction in road capacity could affect whether the city gives approval for the development plans. Although there is a detailed community design plan for the Oblate lands, no development is proposed yet. City staff said the first phase of development there may occur in the next five years.

Going hungry was always a childhood fear

T

he sauerkraut barrel was just about empty in the summer kitchen. It has served us well since the early fall when the whole family spent many evenings shredding cabbage to fill it to the brim. The salt pork barrel was empty too and had been thoroughly washed and set out on the back stoop to dry in the sun. The smallest of the three barrels had long since given up the last pickled herring. Even the vegetables in the root cellar were getting scarce. Now what were we to do, I wondered? Would we starve, just like the starving Armenians Mother talked about all the time? It would be many weeks before we would have carrots and potatoes from the garden. Now I had something else to worry about. Back then, it seemed, I could find many issues to send me into a state of anxiousness. Mother said I was born with furrows in my brow, whatever that meant. Worrying if we had enough food to keep us alive was constantly on my mind this time of year. I took my concerns to my sister Audrey. She always seemed to have an answer for everything. At first she laughed out loud when I asked her if we were about to starve since all the barrels that once held our daily sustenance were empty. Then she saw

MARY COOK Memories that I was sincerely worried and she took me to the old swing in the grape arbour to give me a long talk on how I was worried for nothing. At that very moment, she pointed out, wasn’t our bake table full of freshly baked bread? Weren’t there enough loaves there to last us most of the week when Mother would again bake up another batch? So there would always be sandwiches, always bread pudding for dessert. And in the smoke house, wasn’t there slabs of back-bacon, roasts of pork and sausage links, enough to feed half of Renfrew County? “Stop worrying, Mary,� she said. “We won’t starve.� Of course, my wiser sister Audrey was quite right. Soon there were sprigs of new lettuce showing in the garden, enough to take to the dinner table and for lettuce sandwiches, which I loved with a passion. Fresh lettuce with a spattering of sugar and vinegar between two slices of buttered freshly baked bread -- now that was a treat! Then Audrey took me down into

the dugout under the house. I had told her the last time I had gone down with the dish pan to bring up vegetables for supper, I had to dig away in the sand before I found a carrot. Audrey pointed to the shelves down there that for generations held preserves and pickles. There on those shelves were enough glass jars, full of beans in brine, onions hanging in mesh bags and sealer after sealer of preserved raspberries, crab apples and wild blueberries. “Now do you think we are starving?� Audrey asked. Of course my much older and much wiser sister was right. Just because the barrels in the kitchen were empty there was still food aplenty to last us until the garden was ready. I could put my worries aside. I recalled what my father always said when he was discussing the issues of the day: “It’s a poor farmer indeed, who can’t keep food on the table to feed his family.� Although not my favourite, we had as much milk to drink as we wanted. There was always a big jug of fresh milk in the ice box and newly churned butter in glass bowls. Our hen house full of hens provided us with enough eggs for our own use with lots left over for Mother to peddle in Renfrew every Saturday morning. We could expect a chicken

dinner every Sunday. Mother, long before we would set out for church, would have stuffed at least two fat birds and put them in the Findlay Oval oven. If there weren’t enough vegetables in the sand bin to tuck around the chickens, we made do

with bowls of pickled beans or canned tomatoes from the cellar. No, on thinking about it, I worried for nothing. We wouldn’t starve on the farm just because the barrels were empty. Food was all around us, and there was always Briscoe’s General Store, where we could stop for maple cookies, slices of bologna and the basics like flour, tea and sugar. All we had to do was tell Mr. Briscoe, “just put it on our bill, please.�

News - It’s better to scrap a broken policy that lets developers pay their way out of parking requirements than try to fix it, the city’s planning committee decided. The policy was ditched with little fanfare during a June 25 meeting, but one citizen who spoke to the committee said community associations have a deep interest in the issue and would have rather seen a proposal to fix the policy. Daniel Mullaly from the Centretown Citizens Community Association said if the process is broken, the city should fix it. “This policy has been mismanaged for an extended period of time,” he said. “But CCCA thinks that abolishing it is not the solution … We are left without a policy or strategy to deal with a significant community issue.” The CCCA and other community associations in Hintonburg, Westboro, Old Ottawa South and the Glebe discussed the need to a comprehensive parking strategy for the city, Mullaly said. Planning committee chairman Peter Hume, councillor for Alta Vista Ward, insisted the change doesn’t mean people will have a “free pass” to avoid providing parking. The old policy required property owners and developers to pay a fee in exchange for

a reduction in the parking they are required to provide in cases where there are restraints on the owner’s ability to provide parking. It’s only supposed to be used in cases where it is “clearly demonstrated” that the requirements would result in an over-supply of parking. The city would ostensibly use the money to build public parking facilities, but the report notes the amount of money collected will likely never be enough to replace the total number of spaces in the communities where they are needed. In fact, a rule that the fee could be waived for community housing developments has been extended to all applicants who make a case to planning committee that providing parking will cause them “undo hardship.” The city collects an average of $125,000 a year from the bylaw. The new process will require relief from parking requirements to be sought through a rezoning or minor variance request. Planning manager John Smit said those options are more robust because they require more scrutiny and they can also be appealed – something the current policy lacks. Mullaly said community groups have been waiting for improvements to cash-in-lieu of parking for five years, but were none the wiser when the report was quietly added

to the planning committee’s agenda with no prior community consultation. He said the city could have drawn the same conclusion four years ago when community groups were first made aware of the study and commented on it. Four public meetings were held in January and December of 2009. The remaining $3.7 million in the cash-in-lieu of parking fund will likely be used to build an $8-million parking garage in the Glebe and development or redevelopment of smaller on- and off-street parking facilities. There is still the possibility the city could create localized cash-in-lieu of parking bylaws if a local parking study recommends it. Since amalgamation, the city has exempted property owners from providing 1,300 parking spaces. Over that time, the city received 214 applications for cash-in-lieu of parking, of which 180 have been processed, of which only two have been refused. The city has used the money to provide parking at the adult high school on Preston Street, to create a taxi stand on Rideau Street, to replace some onand off-street parking facilities and to fund studies on parking management for south Ottawa and Westboro and a tour bus strategy. It costs about $7,000 to build an on-street parking space, $25,000 per space to build a parking structure and about $40,000 per space to create parking in an underground garage.

Acquisition to add 10 much-needed hospice beds Hospice Care Ottawa takes possession of former Kanata church building Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

News - Having access to hospice palliative care when a loved one is dying is important, said Kathleen Sterling. Her husband, Lennox, passed away two years ago from prostate cancer at the age of 51. Although it was his wish to die at home, that proved impossible due to the need for around-the-clock care. “I felt fortunate, that when the time did come, May Court had a bed available for him,” said Sterling, who lives in Richmond and has organized a fundraising golf tournament for the hospice for the past three years. “The compassionate care he received, as well as the kids and I, left a lasting impression with me.” His final six days were spent at the Hospice at May Court, located in the Glebe. “Unfortunately for the kids

and I, we lost a loving, wonderful husband and father. We miss him every day,” said Sterling. “This was a devastating time in our lives but to have our loved one cared for … in his final days gave us great comfort. We were allowed to be his wife and children without the stress of his daily care. But most importantly, Lennox was allowed to die with dignity.” Lennox spoke about her family’s experiences at an event to launch a new hospice in Kanata last week. Hospice Care Ottawa, which operates the May Court and Friends of Hospice Ottawa, took possession of the key to the former Trinity Presbyterian Church on McCurdy Drive in Kanata on June 27. The organization is planning to add a 10-bed residential and day hospice on the grounds by 2016. With the new building,

Hospice Care Ottawa will be able to “provide more services and end-of-life care for people who need it,” said Lisa Sullivan, executive director. “We’re just thrilled.” There is a need for 60 to 80 hospice beds to serve the Ottawa-Carleton region. Currently, there are nine beds available at May Court, and Friends of Hospice Ottawa has four temporary beds at Embassy West Seniors Living, with a total of 10 beds to be available this summer. The organization is working to raise the $6-million needed to open the residential hospice. To date, around $1.7 million has been collected. This is a project where the community has come together to support the community, said Dr. José Pereira, professor and head of the palliative care division at the University of Ottawa, and medical chief of palliative medicine at the Bruyère Continuing Care and Ottawa hospitals. “I think this has been an amazing process.” For more information, or MICHELLE NASH/METROLAND to donate, visit bruyere.org/ Hospice Care Ottawa, which operates Friends of Hospice Ottawa and the Hospice at May en/hospice-ottawa-west-cam- Court, takes possession of the key to its newest property located at 110 McCurdy Dr. in paign.

Committee rejects Attika tower proposed for Hintonburg Plans for 18-storey building may be fought at the Ontario Municipal Board Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Councillors admitted the city got it wrong as they voted down a proposal for an-18-storey tower to rise above the Parkdale Market. In a rare move, planning committee rejected Tega Homes’ plans for its Attika condo on June 25, but the decision means the battle is sure to continue in an appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board. Taking that route is “not without signiďŹ cant risk,â€? said planning committee chairman Peter Hume, the councillor for Alta Vista Ward. The OMB might end up granting the extra height for the property at 233 Armstrong St. and 3 Hamilton Ave., or it could decide to hold Tega to the eightstorey height limit spelled out in a community design plan for the area. Kitchissippi Coun. Katherine Hobbs represents the area and asked her colleagues to refuse Tega’s application for the 239-unit building. “To my mind and the minds of my community‌ what is of absolute importance here is

the CDP,â€? she said. “When we forge those covenants with the community, we give them that surety.â€? Although Tega’s initial plans for a 36-storey tower wrapping around the Carleton Tavern arrived at city hall before the community design plan was complete, the CDP policies probably weren’t the right ďŹ t, Hume said. The proposal had to be considered in the context of the policies that were in effect when Tega applied for the zoning change – not in the context of the CDP. “Hindsight is wonderful,â€? Hume said. “We should have, at the time, taken a much closer look at what we were designating on the site ‌ Obviously we can’t sustain that position.â€? Jeff Leiper, president of the Hintonburg Community Association, called the saga a “spectacular failure of leadership.â€? He said community design plans matter to community associations like his, and urged the committee to deny the rezoning request in order to “salvage trust in the CDP process.â€?

SUBMITTED/CITY OF OTTAWA

The city’s planning committee turned down plans for Tega Homes’ 18-storey Attika tower near the Carleton Tavern and the Parkdale Market. The city expects to have to defend the position at the Ontario Municipal Board. The city’s own staff couldn’t defend the eight-storey mandate in the CDP. Faced with an idea for a taller building that still contained the same amount of oor space as a shorter, blockier structure,

planning staff sided with the 18-storey proposal and recommended the planning committee approve it. Councillors on the planning committee, including Cumberland Coun. Stephen

Blais, struggled to understand how an 18-storey tower could contain the same amount of usable space as an eight-storey building. “It’s the setbacks,� said planning manager John Smit,

referring to the staircase-like structure that would have made the building wider at its base, stepping back and up to a narrow peak. “It steps in considerably as the building sculpts itself up.� John Fraser, a resident of Spencer Street, pointed out to the committee that there were no setbacks designed for the side of the building that would face his home. Fraser said he was “boggled� as to why the committee was even considering the proposal, given that a legal opinion from city lawyer Tim Marc indicated he did not believe the OMB would uphold an 18-storey height for that site. Others were concerned about the amount of parking that was proposed. The property’s soil is contaminated and the developer would have to remove much of it anyways, so a parking garage was planned for seven storeys underground. That’s simply too much parking for an urban area like Hintonburg, said resident Linda Hoad. Smit said there is a high demand for parking in the area, especially because of its proximity to the Parkdale Market, so the addition of more publically accessible parking spaces is a good thing.

Turtle Island Brewery founder JP Fournier admits a slight obsession with craft beer. He will officially launch his new brewery at the Watson’s Mill craft beer tasting on July 12.

Craft beer event offers a taste of Ottawa Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

Community - Let your taste buds roam the Ottawa Valley this July at Watson’s Mill’s new and improved beer tasting event. Billed “Not Your Father’s Labatt 50,â€? the event on Friday, July 12 will feature beer from 10 specialty breweries from Ottawa and across the province. Watson’s Mill has hosted beer tasting events in the past, but this year guests can zero in on craft beers that mostly come from the surrounding area. Brews from Hogsback, Kichesippi, Mad Hatter, Mill Street and Turtle Island breweries will represent urban Ottawa while Cassel Brewery will represent the east and Barley Days will bring a taste of Picton. Nickel Brook brewery will come in from Burlington. Turtle Island will launch its brewery at the event, meaning guests will be the ďŹ rst to try Ottawa’s newest craft beer. “This is another great thing that’s happening at the event and its fun for us to share that with the Manotick community and other local breweries,â€? said mill manager Isabelle Geoffrion. “It’s really quite special. We’re just thrilled to be doing that.â€? Turtle Island founder J.P. Fournier has been working towards opening a brew pub for about three years, he said, after he started brewing his own beer at home about four years ago. He didn’t even like beer at the time, and hadn’t consumed it for about a decade, he said. But then a friend introduced

him to a few local craft brews, and he was hooked. “I’m a little bit obsessed when I get passionate about something,â€? Fournier said. “I want to do it on as big of a scale as I can.â€? He began brewing at home, and founded the Ottawa Beer Tap Society which worked with local restaurants to pair home-brewed beer with gourmet food. Last summer Fournier organized the ďŹ rst annual National Capital Craft Beer Week, including a two-day festival outside city hall that attracted 6,500 people. In February he partnered with Winterlude to create Winterbrewed – an outdoor event that attracted 12,000 to drink cold beer in 20C weather. Now Fournier hopes his brewery can share his taste for excitement as he launches specialty craft brews that are far from normal. “The goal is to share our sense of adventure and passion for exceptional craft beer,â€? he said. At the Watson’s Mill event, Fournier and his team will launch a dark honey brown beer as well as a single-malt, single-hop cherry ale. While he’ll technically be surrounded by his steepest competition, Fournier said he thinks a craft beer event is the perfect launch pad. “We sort of see the other brews as being our brethren,â€? he said. “With the personality of the industry I ďŹ rmly believe it will be about supporting each other.â€? Of course, his interest in

growing Ottawa’s craft beer industry in general pairs perfectly with what Watson’s Mill is trying to accomplish. “I love that it’s in Manotick,â€? he said. “If the attention we’re going to get for a launch can help that event grow as well I’m ecstatic about that.â€? And growing it is. In previous years, the event has been relatively simple in scope. But this year the mill has added catered pairings and a chance to make it a true night out with the Swing Bridge Band providing live music. “It changes it up a little bit from previous years when it was just taste the beers and move along,â€? said organizer Alex Smaridge. “It’s going to be a little more upscale than it has been in the past.â€? From 7 to 10 p.m., Indulge Kitchens catering company will provide beer-friendly appetizers and hors d’oeuvres, including gourmet sliders. Guests will vote for their favourite beer, and the winning brewery will be invited to return for a more intimate pairing event with Indulge Kitchens later this summer. A brewers’ corner is another new addition this year, with a brewmaster on hand to answer any questions about beer types and the beer-making process. “I’m really very excited for this one,â€? Smaridge said. Tickets are $30 and include ďŹ ve tasting tickets. Extra tasting tickets are available for sale. For more information call 613-692-6455. Watson’s Mill is located at 5525 Dickinson St., Manotick.

Sens 2013 first-round draft pick Curtis Lazar turns sharply during a practice drill on July 3, the first day of a development camp for the team’s young players.

Summer ice Orléans native Cody Ceci, centre, challenges the puck-carrier during a drill. Ceci was a first-round pick of the Sens in 2012 and seems a step closer to making the NHL team’s roster this year. Being assigned jersey no. 5 instead of no. 38 has to be considered a good sign for the future.

in lakes and larger bodies of water. PFDs are made just for dogs and are available at many stores – including the Ottawa Humane Society’s retail store located at 245 West Hunt Club Road. A good PFD will have flotation all around your animal’s body, not just along their backs and will be brightly coloured and have a large grab handle along the back of the jacket. If your dog has never worn a PFD, give them time to get acquainted with it before actually getting on the boat. Get your pet used to the PFD in small steps. Start with wearing it in and around your home, then outside for short walks and finally aboard the boat. Make sure the life jacket fits properly and allow your dog to practice swimming in it. To keep your dog from swimming too far away, use a long nylon lead. Keep a close watch to make sure your dog doesn’t get tangled in the lead. This is a great way to make sure new swimmers are relaxed and comfortable in the water.

Please note: The Ottawa Humane Society has many other companion animals available for adoption. Featured animals are adopted quickly!

Summertime and the livin’ is easy, until a heat wave strikes and the recent weather in the Ottawa area makes it difficult for furry friends to stay cool. You may think that a backyard pool party or a trip to a local beach that allows dogs is a perfect way to beat the heat, but there are some things to think about before you dive in. If you’re swimming with your dog, don’t get in over your head. Many dogs will try to climb on their guardian’s head or shoulders when they tire. Keep a close watch on dogs near pools: an untrained animal will probably head for the nearest edge of the pool to get out, but slippery pool walls do not offer an easy exit. Panic can lead to exhaustion. Barking may be difficult for a dog in the water, making it tough for them to cry for help. Use a canine life vest or PFD. A well-fitted canine life vest is an easy way to keep your dog safe on a boat or while swimming

Hughie is a Scottish Fold, a grey tabby, whose ear cartilage is folded, giving his face an owl-like appearance Smart, sweet and laid back, Hughie is a loverboy with big round golden eyes and a soft, tiny voice which is only used for greetings and food emergencies. This fur-face is a trusting homebody and a sharer of favorite things such as live frogs and deceased field mice at the cottage. Playful, curious, he accompanies me ‘round the garden sniffing the roses, his only dispute with the evil resident squirrel. Folds are also loved for their amazing body contortions, their eccentric positions when asleep. Fur-face does this unique sitting thing called the “buddha position”. On haunches, leaning against a pillow, back legs stretched out and front paws crossed on a furry tummy, he sleeps… and everyone in the room tiptoes because we simply cannot bear to disturb this lovable wonder who chooses to live in our home.

will be sure to blow away any competition in obedience classes! Serena has a long, beautiful coat that will require some grooming to stay nice and soft, and to help reduce shedding. Serena is a “Special Needs” adoption. She came in to the shelter with a bad ear infection, and though she seems to be responding to the treatments, we are unclear at this point if her ears will be a chronic problem or not, as this dog’s new

owner you should be prepared for this possibility by discussing this with your veterinarian. Meet Smudge, a 6-year-old, neutered male, brown tabby and white Domestic Shorthair cat who loves to cozy up with his human and is available for adoption! Smudge is patient and has a great easy-going disposition. He wouldn’t mind sharing his household with cats and children, as long as they are cool as a cucumber, just like him. Smudge has only ever known an indoor lifestyle, and would rather not be an outdoor cat. Smudge loves to play and would love if his new family could provide him with great toys! For more information about these or other animals available for adoption, please call the Adoption Centre at 613-725-3166 ext. 258 or visit www.ottawahumane.ca.
