News - Madeliene Meilleur didn’t have to wait long to cel-ebrate on election night.

One of the fi rst Liber-als to be able to claim vic-tory, Meilleur walked into the Knights of Columbus in Vanier with a broad smile on her face and only to fi nd out that the Liberals had won a majority.

Proud of the riding she rep-resents, Meilleur said tomor-row she’s looking forward to getting back to work.

“No one works harder than me in Ontario,” she said.

Thanking her volunteers, Meilleur celebrated a fourth consecutive win for her party in Ottawa Vanier.

“This is a new beginning for Ottawa-Vanier and a new be-ginning for Ontario.”

Meilleur won with more than 55 per cent of the vote, fi nishing ahead of her near-est rival by more than 13,000 votes.

Running for the second time as the Green Party of Ontario candidate, Dave Bagler, re-ceived eight per cent of the electoral vote – doubling his result from 2011.

Naqvi coasts to victory in Ottawa CentreLaura [email protected]

News - When the dust had settled on June 12, voters in Ot-tawa Centre had chosen the same thing as much of the rest of On-tario – an even stronger mandate for the Liberals.

Incumbent Yasir Naqvi sailed into a third term with an even more formidable result than in 2011, taking 51.7 per cent of the

vote, up from 46.8 per cent.“I think it speaks volumes

to the kinds of things team Ot-tawa has been able to do,” Naqvi said.

“We often talk about how we, all the Liberal MPPs in Ot-tawa work closely together ... In this campaign we made sure we continued to talk about the needs and priorities of Ottawa as a group.”

Naqvi said his party’s strong

stance in support of important local infrastructure, including the Ottawa River Action cleanup plan and stage two of the city’s light-rail project helped the Liberals keep their territory in Ottawa. Passing a budget that includes funding for Ottawa’s LRT extensions is job number one when he returns to Queen’s Park, Naqvi said.

News - Developers shouldn’t get discounts on development charges if they build close to a transit line, city council decided on June 10.

College Coun. Rick Chiarelli instigated to move to reverse the planned 50 per cent discount on the part of the development charge

dedicated to roads for developments near the light-rail line, O-Train and Transitway.

Development charges are fees the city charges to cover the cost of in-stalling infrastructure such as sewer pipes and roads needed to service the new homes or buildings. The province requires municipalities to update their bylaws every fi ve years and increasing the charge is intend-

ed to cover a greater proportion of the costs associated with building new infrastructure.

“When a property owner sud-denly has a transit station located near their property, they have a huge windfall,” Chiarelli said, adding that the value increase is enough of a de-velopment incentive.

Other councillors, including tran-sit commission chairwoman Diane

Deans, jumped on board with Chi-arelli’s idea.

“The incentive we’re providing is the $2.1 billion LRT line,” she said. “That has got to be better than any 6/49 lottery going.”

The last-minute change to the updated development charge bylaw caught some developers – who are already miffed by the changes – off guard, said John Herbert, president of the Greater Ottawa Home Build-ers Association.

“(Some of our members) were very, very surprised and some of them were hurt very badly,” Herbert said.

NEW HOUSE COSTS TO RISE

Council did agree to adopt the new development charge bylaw, with a bevy of alterations relating to the cost of anticipated infrastructure projects around the city.

The increased fees would repre-sent between three and seven per cent of the cost of a new house, up from 2.5 and six per cent, depend-ing on the type of home and whether it’s located in an urban, suburban or rural area.

That will tack about $8,000 onto the price of a new, single-family home in the suburbs, Herbert said.

“It’s going to take a big hit on housing affordability in Ottawa,” Herbert said.

He said his group will appeal the bylaw to the Ontario Municipal Board.

The Greater Ottawa Home Build-ers Association warned the increased charge will not only boost the cost

of new homes – it will have a ripple effect on the local economy.

He suggested that “social, fi nan-cial and economic” fallout would be the result of the increased charge, including potential job losses in the construction sector as the industry slows down to meet less demand.

Osgoode Coun. Doug Thompson was the lone vote against the new development charges bylaw.

He echoed Herbert’s concerns that the increase could have a cool-ing effect on the real estate market if buyers reject more expensive homes.

“It’s a bit of a property tax grab. Instead of increasing taxes you’re putting the taxes on someone who builds a new home,” Thompson said. “It’s just not right.”

Weeks earlier, at a briefi ng to ex-plain the new bylaw, planning com-mittee chairman Coun. Peter Hume argued the exact opposite, saying builders and homebuyers should pay the costs of the infrastructure growth associated with their homes – not the rest of the taxpayers in Ot-tawa.

“Quite frankly, I don’t think it’s fair to existing taxpayers,” Hume said.

Hume said one major change to development-charge projects is the way the city makes up for giving out exemptions to developers.

Now, instead of scrambling to fi nd the money in the city’s coffers when the infrastructure project must get built, the city will have to ap-prove taxpayer money to make up the difference when it offers a de-velopment charge exemption.

Council axes development discounts near transitLast-minute decision catches some developers off guard


News - With the opening of Lans-downe Park now only weeks away, the Glebe residents will look to de-fi ne acceptable parking areas in their neighbourhood.

The Glebe Community Associa-tion is concerned that cars driven by stadium patrons attending football games and other events will spill into the residential areas and park-ing for Glebe businesses will also be limited. To alleviate this concern, the association’s transportation committee chairman Brian Mitchell has reached out for support from the Glebe business improvement area to defi ne commercial parking in the Glebe. The two groups plan to send a joint statement to city on the is-sue.

“The intention is to set the lines and respect the needs of the commer-cial area,” Mitchell said. “And the areas close to homes should be up to residents to use.”

The statement is currently being drafted, but Mitchell said another purpose is to establish that the as-sociation is against future reduction of parking due to new developments, and to set the boundaries for com-mercial and residential parking.

Gilbert Russell, chairman of the BIA, said he understands Mitchell’s desire to be proactive.

The boundaries are defi ned as the “wrap around” of the side streets di-rectly beside the commercial side of Bank Street. This area would be me-tered, pay-and-display parking and depending on the street, the commer-cial portion would vary, but typically includes at least the fi rst three houses closest to Bank Street.

The statement, Russell said, will not call for a change to the current parking conditions, but simply clar-ify what exists.

“It defi nes the status quo and it re-affi rms status quo,” Russell said. “I think the association is simply being proactive and looking down the road trying to mitigate any possible nega-tive outcomes.”

The BIA, Russell added, supports neighbours not having visitors pay to visit their friends and family.

He added having the commercial parking area defi ned will create con-sistency in the shopping area of Bank

Street in the neighbourhood. Shoppers currently have 75 mu-

nicipal spaces in which to park, with the overfl ow currently ending up on residential streets.

Russell said the concern for park-ing during game days is a legitimate one and for retailers, they do not want to lose businesses because people are staying away from the area.

“You are looking at 2070 parking spaces in the area (at Lansdowne) and then you are left to look for parking in the rest of the Glebe. The need is there. It might not be there the same when the retail comes (to the park) the day-to-day as the retail comes, may be different, but game day will be more a problem.”

Russell said the association plans to post game day schedules on its website, glebebia.com.

“The concern is that people will avoid the area and that’s what we don’t want,” Russell said.

Over a year ago, the city had plans to turn a surface parking lot between First and Second avenues into a four-storey parking garage, featuring 149 vehicle spaces.

Capital Coun. David Chernush-enko had hoped that the $9.5-million structure would be built and available for use before the stadium opened.

A municipal parking garage for the neighbourhood was initially ap-proved when the last city council looked at redeveloping Lansdowne Park.

But those plans are on hold when at fi rst the construction schedule was delayed because it was deemed too ambitious, and then when the devel-opment was appealed at the Ontario

Municipal Board. The appeal hear-ing will take place on June 19 at the Keefer Room at city hall.

“The delay, it will make things more challenging,” Chernushenko said. “From the onset I wanted it be-fore the opening.”

He added parking has long been a concern leading up to the opening of the stadium.

“Parking is already a big chal-lenge in the Glebe,” Chernushenko said. “Possibly the biggest message we are giving is take the bus, don’t drive. But we know parking will be a challenge.”

The councillor thinks what the as-sociation and the BIA are doing is a good step to defi ning the area.

“This is in support of the status quo -- basically saying, we don’t want the opening of Lansdowne to

eat into business or the residents parking, basically to say, ‘hey, things are right the way they so let’s keep it that way,’” he said, but when it comes to predicting what will actual-ly take place when Lansdowne opens remains up in the air.

“Wait and see sounds like we are doing nothing -- it’s a hard one to swallow,” Chernushenko said. “Staff has said this from the onset and I have reluctantly agreed with. To make a lot of changes before we know what is going to happen is not necessarily the answer. Parking is entirely reliant upon human behav-iour. We don’t know how people are going to respond. There is a severe shortage of parking, we hope people will respond by not driving but we are going to have to see what hap-pens.”

Notice of Completion of Environmental Study Report

The Environmental Study Report (ESR) for the Cambrian Road Widening Environmental Assessment (future realigned Greenbank Road to Jockvale Road) has been completed and has been placed on record June 12, 2014 for a 30-day public review period.

In March 2013, the City of Ottawa initiated the Environmental Assessment for the proposed widening of Cambrian Road between the future Re-Aligned Greenbank Road and Jockvale Road. This study has been completed in accordance with the requirements for a Schedule “C” project in accordance with the requirements of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment, 2011, which is an approved process under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act. Both the Barrhaven South Community Design Plan, (approved by Council in June 2006) and the City of Ottawa Transportation Master Plan (2013) identifies the requirement for widening of Cambrian Road from two to four lanes to accommodate future growth in the community.

Copies of the Environmental Study Report are available for review at the following locations:

During the public review period, interested persons are encouraged to read the ESR and provide comments. Please direct written comments to:

If concerns regarding this project cannot be resolved in discussion with the City, a person/party may request that the Minister of the Environment make an order for the project to comply with Part II of the Environmental Assessment Act (referred to as Part II Order). The Part II Order request must be received by the Minister of the Environment during the 30 day review period and a copy of the request should be forwarded to the City of Ottawa. If there are no requests received by July 14, 2014, the project will be considered to have met the requirements of the Municipal Class EA, and the project will proceed, provided that funding is available, to design and construction as presented in the ESR.

News - In contrast to the NIMBY movement of com-munities railing against new and unwanted developments in their areas, Old Ottawa East residents gathered on June 10 to fi nd ways to be “YIMBYs” and say “Yes in my backyard.”

The event, titled “Deep Green,” was a forum held by the community association and Sustainable Living Ot-tawa East to gain ideas and feedback on how to make the planned redevelopment of the institutional lands on Main Street an environmentally and socially sustainable addition to the neighbourhood.

Regional Group recently confi rmed it will buy the land and abide by the community design plan to develop around 900 new housing units on the land currently occupied by the Oblate fathers Catholic order. Domicile is in the process of getting approval for a neigh-bouring building on the front portion of the Sisters of the Sa-cred Heart lands.

Representatives from both companies were on hand to listen to ideas presented at the forum.

Before those builders put shovels in the ground, Rebecca Aird said she and SLOE want to offer constructive and fi nan-cially feasible suggestions on how to make the new develop-ment a good fi t for the area.

“We’re talking about big change for our community,” said John Dance, president of the Old Ottawa East Commu-nity Association. “We want to manage that and make it work for us.”

Although the community groups don’t have any guar-antee the developers will heed their suggestions, Aird said if the ideas are sound and make good business sense, she be-lieves developers will listen.

“It’s about stretching the boundaries in terms of what transpires between a communi-ty and a developer ... It’s about being proactive and construc-tive rather than reactive and negative,” she said. “How can we be ‘YIMBY’ – ‘yes in my backyard’ – about this devel-opment, rather than ‘NIMBY’ (not in my backyard)?”

THEMES

Sustainable Living Ottawa East worked with students from Carleton University’s research project on commu-nity engagement to defi ne four main themes to focus on when attempting to shape redevelop-ment plans: community ameni-ties and connectivity, stormwa-ter management and shoreline restoration, affordable and se-

niors’ housing and energy sus-tainability.

Following presentations on each topic, residents gathered for group discussions on how those topics could or should be infl uenced.

Dance spoke about the need for community space, since the small old town hall currently used for public programming will be overstretched as the neighbourhood grows. Work-ing with the city and develop-ers to lobby for public ameni-ties like a recreational centre or community space will be criti-cal, he said.

City-owned spaces aren’t the only amenities the com-munity needs – a full range of shops and services, especially a grocery store – are other things to lobby for, Dance said. In-creased transit frequency will also be an eventual necessity, he said. In discussion groups afterwards, residents expressed a desire for community facili-ties and meeting spaces to be incorporated into the same area as shops in order to bolster

their use.A lively discussion about

affordable housing and ac-commodations for seniors was kicked off by Geri Blinick, community developer with the Sandy Hill Community Health Centre. She said the group has heard there is a need for more varied housing options for se-niors and low-income residents in Old Ottawa East. Talks are already underway to pursue some form of subsidized hous-ing at the Oblate lands – an ef-fort supported by David Kard-ish of Regional Group, who sits the on board of the Centretown Affordable Housing Coalition.

The redevelopment also presents an opportunity to save

the Rideau River shoreline, said Ian McRae, a member of SLOE. Extending low-impact development to the river’s edge could help make the eroded shoreline a place people can use while simultaneously pro-viding more stability to the embankment. McRae suggest-ed things like “water ladders,” fl at water play areas and view-ing decks could help shore up the edge and make it useable for residents.

Drafting a business case for sustainable energy solutions for the Oblate lands is a more esoteric task, said Martin Ad-elaar, who spoke on that topic. Coming up with proposals that are “fl exible, resilient, scal-

able and energy effi cient” is the goal and Adelaar suggested district energy systems are the answer.

A district energy system is a centralized heating and cooling system that serves many build-ings in a defi ned area. The sys-tems are intended to reduce en-ergy use and are able to make more use of environmentally friendly energy sources.

Funding district energy sys-tems or other sustainable infra-structure is the challenge and SLOE and residents discussed presenting options such as crowdsourcing, social impact bonds and community bonds to generate seed funding for the projects.

Old Ottawa East brainstorms Oblate improvements

Geri Blinick, community developer with the Sandy Hill Community Health Centre leads a discussion about how to include aff ordable housing in a planned redevelop-ment of the Oblate institutional lands in Old Ottawa East during a June 10 forum.

Continued from page 1

The Ottawa Centre result was no surprise, but supporters at Naqvi’s post-election bash at the Westboro Clock Tower Brew Pub found more reason to celebrate the Liberals across

the province decimated their competi-tion, claiming a majority in the 107-seat legislature (winning 59) and re-ducing the Progressive Conservatives to just 27 seats, down a full 10 ridings from the last Liberal minority govern-ment. The NDP also made out as win-

ners in the PC slaughter, picking up four seats to bring their total to 21.

But there was no orange wave in Ottawa Centre, often considered to be an opportunity for the New Demo-crats, who hold the riding federally. Local candidate Jennifer McKenzie only picked up 20.4 per cent of the vote, down from her predecessor Anil Naidoo’s 29 per cent result in 2011.

McKenzie was unavailable for comment the morning after the elec-tion.The long-shot candidates took very different approaches to the Ot-tawa Centre race.

Despite hitting the campaign trail

early and campaigning throughout his two years as candidate to build his profi le – election or not – PC Rob Dekker saw no momentum, with his vote share stalled at 18 per cent.

In contrast, Green candidate Kevin O’Donnell almost doubled his smaller share of the vote, going from 4.3 per cent support to 7.7 per cent.

That was despite not knocking on a single door, O’Donnell said.

“Which is like poison. It’s suicide for a politician to say that,” he said. A snap election meant O’Donnell wasn’t able to plan or mobilize the same way he did last time. O’Donnell, who is also the deputy party leader, relied on an “air campaign” of media coverage and social media interaction, where voters were really engaged in the top-ics he was presenting – especially the stance of merging the public and Catholic school boards.

“That knowledge that people are talking about my campaign, that’s re-ally exciting,” O’Donnell said, adding that success for him is a high enough share of the popular vote to make oth-

er parties pay attention.“So long as (Green results) are

high enough that other parties rec-ognize there are mobilized, engaged voters that care and look at the Green party platform and say ‘That’s what those voters care about,’ then that’s success,” he said.

Dekker’s team hit 10,000 to 12,000 homes, canvassing every weekend for more than a year.

“We had a message. It was about what the party was going to do for the province and the positive things we were going to be doing,” Dekker said. “It wasn’t about doing any mudsling-ing. It was about reaching out to as many people as we can.”

Dekker said having a consistent face representing the PCs is espe-cially important in Ottawa Centre, but with a Liberal majority he won’t have a reason to hit the hustings for anoth-er two years for a set election date in four years.

“I think we’ve got a couple years to really examine what the next step is going to be,” Dekker said.

Progressive Conservative candidate Martin Forget pulled in 22 per cent of the vote, New Democratic Party of Ontario candidate Hervé Ngamby garnered 13 per cent and Libertar-ian Party of Ontario candidate Phillip Richard received one per cent.

Ottawa-Vanier has historically vot-ed Liberal, and you have to go back to 1971 when the riding was called Ot-tawa East to fi nd the last time a rival party held the seat. Meilleur has rep-resented the riding since 2003.

Ottawa-Vanier encompasses the entire former city of Vanier, extends to Nicholas Street and includes Rock-cliffe Park, Overbrook and Glouces-ter. The University of Ottawa is locat-ed in the riding which also has a high number of seniors and new immigrant voters.

Meilleur has previously represent-ed the community as city councillor, and has spent 23 years in politics in Ottawa-Vanier.

Elsewhere across the city, incum-bents kept their seats, with the ex-ception of Ottawa-Orléans, where Liberal Phil McNeely stepped down

prior to the election. Voters in the east end were happy to return McNeely’s Liberal counterpart, Marie-France Lalonde, however, who bested Pro-gressive Conservative Andrew Lister by more than 11,000 votes.

During her speech to supporters, Lalonde credited her campaign team for helping her on to victory.

The results across the province meant Premier Kathleen Wynne was returned to offi ce with a majority gov-ernment, capturing 59 of the 107 seats in the legislature. Other Ottawa Lib-erals including Yasir Naqvi (Ottawa Centre), John Fraser (Ottawa South) and Bob Chiarelli (Ottawa West-Ne-pean) all retained their seats.

While Tim Hudak’s Progressive Conservatives were humbled else-where in the province, Jack McLaren (Carleton-Mississippi Mills) and Lisa MacLeod (Nepean-Carleton) kept their seats in Ottawa ridings.

During his concession speech, Hu-dak said he will step down as leader for the next term, but will remain in his seat after winning in Niagara West-Glanbrook.

News - Mayor Jim Watson wasn’t expecting a majority government to be elected in the June 12 provincial election, but he said the Liberal win bodes well for the city’s major proj-ects.

“I think it’s a strong vote of encour-agement and support for the City of Ottawa’s major priorities: cleaning up the Ottawa River and continuing on with our light-rail plans,” Watson said.

The mayor, a former Liberal pro-vincial cabinet minister, said he is confi dent the government will make good on their promises to fund those projects.

“They understand cities and I’m obviously relieved to have a willing partner to continue cleaning up the Ottawa River and expanding light rail to the east, to the west and to the south.”

The mayor wasn’t on board with every local Liberal proposal. He re-jected an idea from re-elected Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi to include citizen members on the city commit-tee that makes land-use planning de-cisions.

“To me, that’s not a workable so-lution,” Watson said. “At the end of the day, council has to be accountable and responsible for land-use plan-ning decisions. It becomes a pretty slippery slope as to who you put on these boards ... You could always be

accused that you’re putting pro-devel-opment or anti-development people (on the committee).”

Watson said the current planning process works “relatively well,” al-though there are community frus-trations from time to time. At least voters can hold municipal politicians to account for their decisions by re-fusing to re-elect them, Watson said, which wouldn’t be the case with citi-zen members.The city did add citizen members to several bodies such as the transit commission and health board in this term of council, but Watson said those roles have less opportunity for bias.

The Liberals haven’t been keen on another local priority: uploading the cost of maintaining highway 174 to the province. Watson said he’s like to shift that cost off the backs of Ottawa taxpayers, but it’s a lower priority than continuing the upload of social secu-rity and court costs to the province.

“My position is until that upload agreement ends in 2018 and the up-load is fi nished, then we should start negotiating with the province for oth-er uploads and highway 174 would be one of those locally.

The mayor said the PCs and leader Tim Hudak made a misstep by ex-pressing reluctance to fund the city’s light-rail plans, at least right away..

News - The existing heritage overlays covering properties on Dalhousie Street could get some legal backing if the area councillor gets his way.

Rideau-Vanier Coun. Ma-thieu Fleury said he has asked the city’s legal department to look at the wording of the heritage district designation to determine whether moving forward it will play a role in guiding development.

“I want to get legal to con-fi rm that heritage trumps ev-erything else,” he said at the Lowertown Community Asso-ciation meeting on June 9.

Currently, a re-evaluation of Dalhousie Street zonings is being conducted to create consistency with the city’s Of-fi cial Plan. The changes are be-ing made so the street, which already is designated a com-mercial traditional main street south of St. Patrick, matches

the designation north of St. Patrick too.

The new zoning will allow for small businesses to open and potentially animate the street. The change could also allow new buildings to be six storeys in height instead of the currently allowed four.

The city planner working on the rezoning, Steve Gauthier, said what is protected in the Lowertown West heritage con-servation district, including heritage overlays, will remain that way, but residents weren’t so easily convinced.

“We understand heritage overlays overrides anything, but it is also our experience that the city lifts the heritage overlay when it suits,” said board member Sylvie Grenier at a May 12 meeting on the re-zoning.

According to Heritage Ot-tawa, the concern is that heri-tage overlays have proven to be a weak tool and can easily be lifted via the committee of

adjustment. The association wrote a let-

ter to the city asking that the rezoning be halted until the heritage overlays could be turned into bylaws, ensuring the character of the district could not be threatened by fu-ture development. Fleury said he hopes getting confi rmation in writing from the city’s legal department that the heritage district is safe.

“It brings another level of certainty,” he said.

The councillor said this is his fi rst step in creating guar-antees when it comes to heri-tage.

The Lowertown West Heri-tage Conservation District was designated in 2005. What Fleury would like to see is all the heritage district guidelines turned into bylaws, but ac-knowledges that would take time and money so fi rst and foremost, he said it’s important to address areas that are a pri-ority.

Currently city staff is fo-cused on Sandy Hill, where there is no guidelines or proper wording.

“For us, whatever we can do to bring certainty,” Fleury said. “Certainty, transparency and clarity is important when it comes to zoning. We want to bring more clarity.”

Dalhousie Street is not alone in being rezoned for consisten-cy. The city is currently looking at approximately 30 areas to comply with the Offi cial Plan. The majority of the review will affect land currently designat-ed as town centres, mixed-use centres, arterial main streets and traditional main streets. The review will focus on the new policies in the Offi cial Plan which will specify mini-mum and maximum building heights, minimum densities and permitted land use.

Councillor seeks legal guarantee on heritage overlays

FILE

Dalhousie Street in Lowertown is one of 30 areas under review by the city to create zoning consistency under the city’s Offi cial Plan. Because of concerns from area resi-dents, Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury has asked the city’s legal department to confi rm the heritage overlays will serve as an enforceable guide for development.

Published weekly by:

Congratulations Premier Wynne.Against all the odds, the Liberals, a

party long in the tooth after 11 years in of-fi ce and weighed down by a long string of

scandals and controversies, has once again returned to power at Queen’s Park.

From the outset of the election, the province seemed ripe for change. Ontarians were fi guratively screaming for it, according to poll after poll. It just wasn’t the type of change anyone expected.

Progressive Conservatives across the province were in collective shock as they watched the election results come in on June 12 – they expected voters to punish a party, just not their own.

Few expected a Liberal majority. In the aftermath, the voters, including the pundits and journalists furiously pounding out copy to meet deadline, are left scratching their heads trying to fi gure out what it all means. Well, Premier, we can start with what it doesn’t mean. The results were not a ringing endorsement for your policies, or a thumbs up for the economic direction Ontario has been heading under 11 years of Liberal rule.

Many voters question Liberal policies, such as the Green Energy Act, the decision to pay corporations to set up shop in Ontario, a bumbling strategy to

encourage industrial growth – need we go on?Voters headed into the June election with a bad

taste in their mouth after digesting the Liberals’ latest budget proposal, which promised to add $5.7 billion in new spending while bizarrely indicating the inten-tion to erase the defi cit within three years.

Keep in mind, the provincial debt has doubled under the Liberal’s watch and the province currently operates with a massive and growing defi cit.

But still we are left with the question of your par-ty’s improbable victory. We can only conclude that this was an election about what voters didn’t want. It was a complete and utter repudiation of Progressive Conservative leader Tim Hudak and was also the last election he will fi ght at the helm of the party.

This was an election dominated by fear instead of ideas. The only party punished by the electorate was the Progressive Conservatives, strangely enough they were also the only party to admit the fact that Ontario is in bad shape economically and that cost cutting measures are needed, as well as policies to encourage manufacturing and business growth.

Unfortunately, they weren’t very good at commu-nicating the message to the electorate.

Hopefully, the next election will focus on issues and policies rather than strategic voting and fear.

OPINIONOPINION Connected to your community

Despite its growing popularity as a participation sport, soccer has not yet caught on as a spectator sport with North Americans.

It’s hard to know why that is, since soccer is No. 1 just about everywhere else in the world and the World Cup, which is underway in Brazil, rivals or perhaps even exceeds the Olympics in world interest.

It may just be that we have so many other sports to interest us. We have baseball, football (the North American variety), hockey and basketball and even televised golf, which some people like to use as a sleep aid on weekend afternoons. There is racing, cars and horses. People will actually watch poker on television and there has been growth in the number of people watching wrestling and mixed martial arts.

Soccer has some competition. Yet there is potential. In every neighbourhood in Ottawa, parents turn out in droves on weekday nights to watch their kids play soccer at levels ranging from four years old on up, from beginner to ex-tremely skilled. On a sunny evening, it is pleas-ant occasion. Plus, there are usually snacks.

You would assume that some of those kids and some of those parents would become fans of soccer, attending the games and watching

them on television, as a result of this exposure to the game. But it is slow coming.

According to an article I read recently, there are actually more Canadian children involved in soccer than in hockey now. Yet this remains fi rmly a hockey culture.

Watching beginners playing soccer, as opposed to baseball, you notice that they do so with more focus and enthusiasm. This is because soccer, at that level, is much easier to understand. You kick it that way; you stop the other kids from kicking it this way. Baseball has infi nite complications. If the ball is hit to you at third, step on the bag – unless there is no runner on fi rst. If you’re the runner, don’t run on a fl y ball – unless there are two out.

(Without going into the infi eld fl y rule, the game’s complications can be funny. If you have

never heard it, look up Bob Newhart’s comedy routine on baseball. Mr. Google will show you the way.)

Of course, the subtleties of the game – the defensive shifts and pitching strategies – are what make baseball addictive for its fans and impenetrable to its detractors. People will tell you that nothing happens in baseball, a sugges-tion that amazes and distresses partisans of the game.

Similarly, a baseball fan might tell you that nothing happens in soccer. There’s no scoring, not even that many scoring chances. But watch a game with someone who really understands it and you’ll realize that soccer has subtleties too, skills and strategies that are not obvious to the casual viewer. Afi cionados appreciate them – and of course there are millions of those around the world.

Every sport has its subtleties, things that better-informed fans love about their game, and it is probably time to dispense with the notion that one game is superior to another. There is enough snobbery in the world without it spreading to sports.

The World Cup is a great showcase for the game (as well as the colourful, sometimes bizarre and occasionally violent behaviour of fans from around the world) and it should

cause an upsurge of interest in the game. In Ottawa, we now have a professional team, Ottawa Fury FC, and it should benefi t from the upsurge, and perhaps cause a further upsurge itself.

Meanwhile, the Toronto Blue Jays are causing all kinds of excitement in major league baseball and the Toronto Raptors gave basketball fans lots of thrills in the season just concluded. With any luck, all of these teams will stimulate some interest among kids and get them out playing.

Whichever sport you like best, you have to admit this beats video games.

News - This Canada Day a special travelling exhibit will offer visitors to Rideau Hall a chance to celebrate ordinary Canadians.

For four days leading up to Canada Day, the exhibit, It’s An Honour, will be setting up shop on the grounds of Ride-au Hall share some of the ex-traordinary accomplishments of ordinary Canadians. Ex-hibit manager Katie O’Brian said the cross-country travel-ling museum exhibition offers people the chance to learn about some great Canadians.

“Yes there are famous Ca-nadians that we all know, but a lot of these stories are regular people,” O’Brian said. “Here a lot of the recipients are ordinary Canadians who have done something extraor-dinary. It’s very inspirational and a chance to learn more about the people who live around you.”

Open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. from June 28 to July 1, the free exhibit introduces visi-tors to Canada’s honour sys-tems, showcasing Canadians

who have been honoured in different ways either on be-half of the Queen, the Order of Canada, Declarations of Bravery, Military Valour Dec-orations and other national honours.

The exhibit is set up on the back of an 18-wheeler and af-ter its Ottawa stop, it will be on the road again to visit other Canadian cities

“It doesn’t feel like you are in the back of a truck,” O’Brian said. “It’s just a unique experience with so much to do.”

The exhibition promises to be interactive, O’Brian said, with information panels, touch screens and artifacts as well as stations where people can test their knowledge on Canada’s national honours and share their comments in the exhibit’s interactive areas.

Chris Hadfi eld will even offer his two cents in holo-graphic form.

Situated on the driveway of the Gov.-Gen. David John-ston’s residence, patrons will have the opportunity to learn about Johnston’s role and responsibilities as Canada’s head of state.

The idea for the museum on wheels came from its sponsor, Don Taylor, an Order of Canada recipient. Accord-ing to O’Brian, when Taylor came to Ottawa to receive his medal, he learned about Can-ada’s honour system.

“That’s why it’s mobile,”

O’Brian said. “He felt it was important for people to see and have all Canadians see.”

O’Brian said the travelling exhibit offers people an alter-native to downtown Canada Day celebrations.

Each day during the stop, the travelling exhibit will cel-ebrate four themes: Canadian literature, honouring people in service, volunteers and of course Canada Day celebra-tions, O’Brian said.

The exhibit is bilingual and wheelchair accessible.

“It will be pretty hard to miss,” O’Brian said.

I just fi nished reading the most fantastic self-help book ever. Written by cartoonist, Scott Adams,

How to Fail at Almost Every-thing and Still Win Big: Kind of the Story of My Life, is a reminder that even those of us with a penchant for cheese and coffee can stay slim, make decent money and have happy lives.

And he suggests tossing the idea of goal-setting out the window. Tough to believe, huh?

But Adams, the wealthy creator of the famous Dilbert comic strip, lays out a clear and simple formula for get-ting what you want out of life. In a twist, it starts with being selfi sh. How can that be?

Adams says the most important thing you can do for yourself and the world around you is to carve out time to exercise and eat well every day, before your work, ahead of your marriage, at the expense of your family. It’s from a healthy body that we

get healthy minds, and create the energy to make positive contributions to the world.

It may not sound that pro-found. But when you see how only a humorist like Adams can lay things out, you may change your mind.

Running, for example, is not his thing. “Long-dis-tance runners are people who are born with a certain genetic gift that allows them to feel good when writing,” he writes. “...Most normal adults, including me, fi nd running to be a little more than the most cost-effective way to be bored and uncom-fortable.”

The book is littered with gems like that.

Exercise, Adams argues,

must be something you want to do every day to stay active: gardening, playing basketball with the kids or walking to carry out errands. If it takes willpower to do it, he notes, you will only ever fi nd ex-ercise frustrating and you’ll fi nd any excuse not to do it.

Of course we all know people who exercise and maybe don’t seem that much more satisfi ed with life than we are. So how does Adams make the connection between exercise, diet and that type of success and happiness that he’s garnered as a world-fa-mous cartoonist?

With the energy of exer-cise and good diet behind us, Adams suggests we are generally more optimistic,

something we can improve with positive daily affi rma-tions, meditation or prayer. By focusing on more of the things we want, Adams believes we can actually alter the universe.

He has a few crackpot ideas about why this may be, but my takeaway is that, ultimately, if we’re focusing on what we want in a posi-tive way, we’re more likely to perceive even potential failures as opportunities. And that is really the crux of his argument.

Of course, all this only works if we get stop setting goals.

“Goals are for losers,” says Adams explicitly. Instead, he advocates creating systems. Taking the example of exercise, if we have a goal to lose 20 pounds or reach a certain BMI, we may give it up once we reach our target. If we have a system that simply says, be active every day, we’re more likely to fi nd something active we like to do and stick with it.

Similarly in our careers, a singular goal, like becoming the CEO of a specifi c com-pany, may cause us to miss opportunities along the way or suffer unintentionally from failure when we work all our lives toward that one thing and then don’t succeed.

Adams advocates creat-ing systems that allow us to achieve every day. Adams uses the example of a CEO he met early on in his own career who said he had “a system” of always keeping an eye out for a better job, so he could take opportunities as they were presented to him. Adams also mentions Warren Buffet, who has a system of buying undervalued compa-nies, holding onto them and then selling at an optimum

time. All this may sound a little

like hogwash, or even cliché. But the 2013 book was the most enlightening thing I’d read in a while. There are a number of good takeaways beyond what I’ve written here: develop a diverse skill set; being mediocre at lots of things is often better than mastery of one; sometimes success comes down to pure luck – being in the right place at the right time.

At the end of the day, however, everything Adams writes in the funny way that only he can, is a reminder that we do have some control over our lots in life, and most of it comes to carefully pre-serving our minds and bodies to appreciate the journey.

News - More than 70 per cent of Lowertown residents responded to a recent neighbourhood safety and se-curity survey, citing personal safety and open drug use as two of the big-gest issues in the area.

The online survey conducted by the Lowertown Community Asso-ciation asked residents whether they feel safe in their neighbourhood. Launched on May 3, it was an initia-tive aimed at helping track concerns and issues in the community.

Some of the fi ndings of the survey include:

*47 per cent of all respondents feel King Edward Avenue is not safe, with Rideau Street coming in a close second with 41 per cent.

*70 per cent of all respondents feel safer during the day than at night.

*100 per cent of respondents east of King Edward reported seeing drug use at one point in the commu-nity, with 98 per cent of respondents west of King Edward reporting see-ing drug use.

*The community remains divided on the issue of safe injection sites in Lowertown.

*45 per cent of all respondents

say there are too many bars in the neighbourhood and 27 per cent of all respondents say there are too many restaurants in the neighbourhood.

*East of King Edward, respon-dents would like to see a stronger po-lice presence in the neighbourhood,

*48 per cent of all respondents were satisfi ed with the response from bylaw enforcement

Norman Moyer, the association’s safety and security committee chair-man, presented the results on June 9.

“The report is to give everyone a chance to see the results and have a discussion,” Moyer said.

The last time the association con-ducted an online survey was in the lead-up to the city’s visioning exer-cise for the Byward Market.

Based on the survey results, Moy-er said some of the next steps he feels the association could consider is to continue to do pedestrian and cycling audits, for the city to create a plan to increase active travel safety on King Edward and Rideau and that police should improve its night time patrols in the neighbourhood.

Other ideas Moyer said could be up for discussion are to improve by-law control services, have the city re-strict the number of bars and restau-

rants west of King Edward and have the city do its own scientifi c survey on the attitudes of bringing a secure injection site to the neighbourhood.

Moyer said this survey received higher number of responses than the

previous visioning survey. In total, 230 respondents fi lled out

the survey, with 73 per cent of them residents of Lowertown.

Despite not being a statistically rigourous survey, Moyer said the

exercise is a step in the right direc-tion for the association to better understand how residents and visi-tors to the neighbourhood feel about the Byward Market and Lowertown East.

Safety, drugs top concerns in Lowertown: survey

MICHELLE NASH/METROLAND

A hundred per cent of Lowertown east residents responded that they have observed drug use in the neighbourhood at least once. This result is part of a larger survey the Lowertown Community Association distributed last month.

News - A proposed city pol-icy that emerged from a push to get more green spaces in Centretown will achieve noth-ing of the sort, according to both developers and residents.

The city is proposing a dif-ferent version of an idea called “small moments,” something originally suggested by an unlikely coalition of the Cen-tretown Citizens Community Association and a group of de-velopers when the Centretown Community Design Plan was in development in 2012. The developer-community coali-tion suggested the vision of a greater number of small green spaces to be gained by allow-ing developers slightly more lenient zoning as an alterna-tive to the proposal the city ad-opted: a “landmark tall build-ings” policy that will result in fewer, taller buildings with larger parks or squares.

But city staff also saw the merit in studying something like small moments, and with direction from the Ontario Municipal Board, which will hear an appeal of the commu-nity design plan this fall, that small moments study is under-way.

In the city’s proposed ver-sion of the small moments policy, developers could take some of the density allowed on

their lot and move it around, creating a taller builder with a small open space for a park or sitting area at the ground level.

But the proposal offers no incentive for developers to actually do that, said Russel Kronick, who owns a prop-erty at 267 O’Connor St. he hopes to redevelop. Although the city is currently processing an application for a tall land-mark building for his property, Kronick is one of the people who appealed the CDP be-cause he would have preferred to see a “small moments” strategy instead.

But the city’s new sug-gestion doesn’t come close to what he was hoping for, Kronick said, calling the pro-posal “a tribute to mediocrity.” The city needs to provide a fi nancial incentive by allow-ing developers to apply for increased density or develop-ment capacity on their sites in exchange for a small moment, Kronick said.

As it stands, the city would be giving developers a oppor-tunity to pay more to build a parkette, but over no fi nancial incentive in return.

“Why would any devel-oper even think of doing a small moment?” Kronick said. “Good luck.”

Dan Mullaly, a Centretown resident, agreed. He puzzled over how the city would actu-

ally expect to see any parkettes built.

“You’re expecting devel-opers to absorb greater costs because you’re expecting him to get a return on it,” he said. “Where is the incentive?”

City planning manager John Smit explained that the policy isn’t meant to be an incentive – it’s offering a choice for de-velopers.

He said developers often prefer to build a taller building that’s slimmer and more attrac-tive, which can provide greater opportunities for profi t even if the density is the same as what could be achieved through a shorter, squatter building.

The policy would allow de-velopers to rezone their sites and build up to 15 storeys if they set aside 10 per cent of the site or 200 square metres (whichever is greater) for a publically accessible parkette.

Most areas in the Cen-tretown community design plan are zoned for four

The open spaces aren’t meant to be simple patches of grass, said consultants from the Planning Partnership who are working on the project. The city would be looking for “very carefully designed, imaginative and heavily used spaces” constructed with high-quality materials, similar to Paley Park in New York.

Comments on the small mo-ments policy can be sent to city planner Cheryl Brouillard by emailing [email protected]. Planning commit-tee will vote on the policy on July 8.

Community - On the lon-gest day of the year, the Beechwood Village Alliance will be inviting residents out for a stroll.

The Beechwood Solstice Stroll will take place on June 21 along Beechwood Avenue between the Vanier Park-way and Marier Avenue. The event will be very similar to last year’s, said organizer Ju-lie LaPalme, with activities for children, live music, artist booths and a new selfi e con-test, where people are encour-age to take a photo of them-selves at the festival and tweet it with the hashtag #BVASol-sticeStroll.

“It’s larger than it was last year, more organized and has expanded all along the street,” LaPalme said.

She said as opposed to last year, where the group threw together the event in three weeks, this year has been well organized and more business-es have come on board to par-ticipate, including providing prizes for the contest.

The Beechwood Village Alliance formed in 2012 to address the lack of business along the street. Residents from all fi ve community as-sociations who live near the street, in Vanier, New Edin-burgh, Lindenlea, Rockcliffe Park and Manor Park, make up the group.

Originally the events the group hosted all had one theme

in common – make Beech-wood better. LaPalme said it has been a slow, but successful process and now the focus is on celebrating Beechwood.

Pulled together on a shoe-string budget, the organization is happy that business will be participating, many offering drinks or snacks.

“You can eat and drink all along the street and win priz-es,” LaPalme said. “And aside from that, it’s the longest day of the year, the summer sol-stice, and we will be bringing to life to Beechwood and ap-preciating our main street and appreciate that it is getting better. Come out and meet and see your neighbours. Last year it was just so lovely to see ev-eryone on the street, and there was something for everyone.”

Solstice Stroll back on Beechwood


Community - On June 28, somewhere in this city a chil-dren’s book and a fl ash mob will collide to create an literary phenomenon at an Ottawa Public Library branch.

The “story mob” will use this interactive session to launch its TD Summer Reading Club on June 28. The idea for the event came from something simi-lar run last year by the Toronto Public Library. The event will feature an interactive rendition of the Canadian book The Busy Beaver, said Elizabeth Thornley, co-ordinator for children and teen services at the library.

“I think anything that is big and fun and noisy helps kids see that reading is fun,” Thornley said.

Leading up to the big day, she said the library will give out hints and clues through its Twitter and Facebook accounts.

If it’s anything like its Toronto counterpart, the mob will have volunteers dressed up in char-acters from the book acting out the story with props and signs, musical instruments and choreo-graphed sections.

The story mob, Thornley said, will be the library’s way of offi -cially launching the start of the summer reading club program-ming.

The free program is an op-portunity for children to make reading fun and a part of their summer. Those that join receive an activity book, a notebook to keep track of the books they read and stickers.

Thornley said it’s simple. Chil-dren join and then keep track of the number of books they read. She said participation is strong across the city and that last year there were more than 16,000 children registered and they read a total of 162,726 books.

On June 3, TD Bank Group announced its commitment to

supporting the reading club for the next three years with a dona-tion of $5 million.

“Instilling the joy of reading in children is one of life’s great

pleasures – it helps create lasting childhood memories and pro-motes crucial literacy skills,” said Frank McKenna, deputy chair-man for the TD Bank Group.

“Investing in reading and literacy programs for children and young adults is one of the best ways we can help make a difference in our communities. Through the TD Summer Reading Club program, we’re proud to foster learning in kids across the country and in-spire them to turn the page of a new adventure.”

This year’s theme is Eureka!, and is all about making and cre-ating things.

“It’s everything from technol-ogy to knitting,” Thornley said.

The theme, she said, is partly in part because the Centrepointe Library recently opened its mak-erspace.

Thornley added if people are interested in volunteering to be part of the mob or to sign up for the reading club, register online at biblioottawalibrary.ca and to keep updated about the upcom-ing event follow the library’s Twitter account, @opl_bpo or its Facebook account, facebook.com/OPLBPO.

Community - Vanier will be rock-ing its French heritage this June 21.

From music to a variety of fun-fi lled activities, the grounds around the Richelieu-Vanier Community Centre will be bustling on as the community gets ready to celebrate the St. Jean Baptiste festival.

The community will participate

in Sentier des saveurs – an array of French-Canadian foods for sale along the path leading up to the community centre. Restaurants, community groups, partners and residents sign up to show off their cooking skills and raise money for different causes.

There will be an area for bingo and musical entertainment including Franco-Ontarian musicians Damien Robitaille and the group Swing set to perform on the Desjardins main stage starting at 7:30 p.m.

For the third year, a singing con-test, Idole St-Jean will give young singers age 13 to 17 the opportunity

to perform in front of a live audi-ence.

There will also be an artist’s tour, face painting, a bouncy castle, treasure hunts, medieval games, a Beyblade Tournament, a soccer challenge, a beer garden and wine cellar, bingo and a campfi re.The event, organized by Muséoparc, is free except for the purchase of food and beverages. Rockland Travel is offering a $3,000 trip gift certifi cate raffl e, with tickets available to pur-chase for $20 at the Centre Pauline-Charron and Muséoparc.

The fun begins at noon and goes until midnight.

Lifestyle - This subtlety smoked planked Brie would be perfect as either an appe-tizer or as dessert. Be sure to soak a cedar plank for at least two hours before using. Prep-aration time: fi ve minutes. Soaking time: two hours (ce-dar plank). Grilling time: 10 minutes. Serves four.

INGREDIENTS

• 45 ml (3 tbsp) packed brown sugar• 25 ml (2 tbsp) fi nely diced shal-lots or onion• 25 ml (2 tbsp) cider vinegar• 7 ml (1-1/2 tsp) fi nely grated fresh gingerroot • 3 whole cloves• 250 ml (1 cup) blueberries• 1 round (10 centimetre/four inch) brie cheese• crackers or sliced baguette

PREPARATION

In a small saucepan, the combine sugar, shallots, vin-egar, ginger and cloves and bring to simmer over medium

heat, stirring until reduced and syrupy – about one to two min-utes. Discard the cloves. Stir in the blueberries. Transfer the mixture to a bowl or jar, cover and refrigerate until you’re ready to use (up to one day).

Place the soaked cedar plank on a preheated grill over medi-um-high heat. Cover and grill until the plank starts to smoke and crackle, turning once, for about two to four minutes. Place the cheese on the plank, close the lid and reduce the heat to medium-low. Grill

the cheese for fi ve minutes or until it turns just deep golden brown. Top the cheese with half of the blueberry chutney, close the lid and grill again until golden and a little puffy – about one to two minutes. Carefully remove the plank with the cheese from grill. Let it cool for one to two minutes. Place the planked cheese on platter and serve with the re-maining blueberry chutney and crackers on the side.

News - While dragon-boat teams are itching to take to the waters of the Rideau River this weekend, organizers of the Tim Hortons Ottawa Dragon Boat Festival are itching to welcome huge crowds.

The 21st Tim Hortons Ottawa Dragon Boat Festival begins to-night, June 19, at Mooney’s Bay Park in south Ottawa.

New this year, children’s pro-gramming will be offered tonight (June 19) and tomorrow (June 20), in addition to a full line-up

of activities and performances for families on Saturday and Sunday. The free family fun will include crafts, a bouncy castle, face painting, magicians, a birds of prey fl ight show, clowns, a puppeteer and an illusionist and Little Ray’s Reptiles will also be on hand.

“The kids’ area has been a re-ally, really popular feature over the years,” said Brooman. “That’s the interesting thing about our festival is the fact that ... there’s something for everybody.

“It’s almost like having a children’s festival within a music festival within a sporting festival

within a fundraiser, with a cou-ple of other things spun in there to keep it interesting.”

Organizers are also extending the festival by two hours for the fi rst time, by offering entertain-ment on Sunday, June 22 until 10 p.m., rather than 8 p.m.

There will also be a tiki bar and stage set up on the beach – two components that were intro-duced last year for the fi rst time and which proved very popular, said Brooman.

“It creates a really nice vibe on the beach,” he said. “We’re pretty excited about that because it just made sense. It’s one of

those things where you put on a pair of pants and they fi t.”

The festival will once again boast a free, licensed, all-ages evening concert series starting tonight (June 19) at 6:30 p.m. and wrapping up at 10 p.m. on Sunday, June 22.

But the big draw will be on the weekend when team after team take to the water in their boats to power stroke their way to the fi nish line.

It takes about 800 volunteers to make the festival a reality, with many of them ensuring dragon-boat teams are in the water and ready to go for the next race.

News - John Baizana, one of the organizers and found-ers of the Barrhaven Run for Rogers, said the community managed to raise $50,000 for Rogers House this year.

The event – which features a tot trot, a 2.5 kilometre fam-ily run and fi ve and 10-km timed runs – is in its seventh year in Barrhaven.

Rogers House provides sup-port and accommodations for families of children receiving care for chronic and terminal conditions at CHEO.

Baizana said there were 1,200 participants in the com-bined runs this year.

“Our family run was the most popular,” he said. “A lot of Rogers House families par-ticipated.”

While $50,000 isn’t a re-cord-breaking fundraising amount – it smashed last year`s total of $27,000.

Baizana said he thought the later spring weather might have slowed registration.

Runners from Ontario and Quebec, and some as far away

as Guelph did register for the timed runs though, with prizes of $1,500 for fi rst, $1,000 for second, and $200 for third.

“It was a great day,” Bai-zana said.

For more on the run, visit the Barrhaven Run Facebook page.

Dangerous trend: Increase in charges and reports of dogs left in hot cars

This year, the Ottawa Humane Society has laid more charges and gotten more calls to save dogs from hot cars this spring than ever before, exposing a dangerous trend that could put even more dogs at risk as the weather heats up.

By this time last year, just two people faced charges for leaving dogs in hot cars. This year, despite the slower start to the summer weather, that number has climbed to three. Calls to report dogs found in hot cars this year has risen nearly 20 per cent, from 81 to 97.

“Unfortunately, people are still leaving their dogs behind when they run into the store,” said OHS Insp. Smith. “This could kill your dog. Even 10 minutes with the kind of heat and humidity we get in summer and you’re dog could die. Your

car becomes an oven very quickly.”The latest charge came Monday when

an owner allegedly left his two-month-old Mastiff, named Gucci, inside the car for two hours. The puppy, who was panting heavily and trying to hide under the seat, was checked out by an agent at the scene. His owner, Tagried Mohamed, 19, has been charged with permitting distress to an animal. He first appears in court on July 3.

One day before that, an Old English sheepdog named Spencer was allegedly left for more than an hour while his owners were at Rideau Carleton Raceway. An OHS agent rushed Spencer, 11, for emergency care. He was treated with IV fluids, cold towels and ice packs to bring down his temperature. Spencer recovered

but his owners, Marin Umbres, 57, and Carmen Palos, 52, have been charged with failing to meet the standard of care and causing distress. They are scheduled to first appear in court on July 10.

It’s not clear whether this year’s jump in numbers can be pinned on increased awareness leading to more reports or on more people leaving their dogs in hot cars, Smith said.

“Either way, the calls we’re getting means we have a serious problem with dogs being left to cook in cars,” Smith said. When it’s hot, keep your pet at home, she said.

“That decision may save your dog’s life,” Smith said.

If you see an animal in distress, call the OHS emergency line at 613-725-1532.

Sven (A166580) is in search of his forever home - could it be with you?

Sven is a sweet tabby who may play shy at first but once he’s comfortable with new friends he is a loving companion - granted he gets plenty of chin scratches! Sven would love a quiet home with adult owners. He likes to spend his days taking cat naps and searching out sunny spots he can snooze in.

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

SVEN (A166580 )

We could hear the horn long before we could see the car. It was a horn like no other

heard in all of Renfrew County. We knew it was Uncle Lou. He

usually let Mother know when he was coming, but sometimes he just arrived, like it was an everyday oc-currence to drive all the way from New York just to visit us out on the farm.

By the time his big black Buick pulled into the yard, driving down our long lane off Northcote Side Road, Everett had run to open the gate wide, Audrey had replaced the Eaton’s catalogue with the orange wrapping papers in the outhouse, Mother had changed her apron to one spanking clean, and the rest of us circled the yard jumping up and down like jackrabbits. Even Father had stopped whatever he was doing in the barns, and joined us, ready to greet Uncle Lou and his black Buick with the big shiny brass American eagle on the radiator.

Mother, as usual, whenever her brother came from New York, was crying. It took me a long time to learn the difference between crying because you were sad or crying be-cause you were overcome with joy. Mother was overcome with joy.

Uncle Lou pulled the car up close to the back door of the house,

and when he got out, he swung Mother around like she was a toy doll, and then pumped Father’s hand, and then grabbed each of us into a bear hug, one that took my breath away.

Uncle Lou never came empty handed. I tried not to make it look too obvious, but I couldn’t help looking into the back of the car, and there were boxes upon boxes, and in the front seat were brown paper bags. I knew without a doubt he had stopped in Renfrew and bought bags of oranges, bananas, grapes, and a bag of lemons for Mother, all things we would never dream of adding to our Saturday morning shopping list. It was like Christmas, right in the middle of summer.

I couldn’t take my eyes off the back of the car, but Uncle Lou didn’t seem to be in any great hurry to unload his luggage or the boxes. He did reach in and take out the bags of fruit though, which caused Mother to shed another great pile of tears.

Emerson, who loved cars, was walking around and around the Buick like it was made of gold. In fact, we all thought the big eagle on the radiator was pure gold, until Uncle Lou corrected us and said it was brass. Emerson was rubbing his hand over it and making cluck-ing sounds of approval. “Sure like that bird,” he kept saying.

With his arm tight around Moth-er’s waist, Uncle Lou headed into the house, and ordered the boys to unload the car.

First to come out were the many boxes, some with Macy’s Depart-ment Store printed on them, others just plain boxes tied with ribbons and string. Then came Uncle Lou’s luggage. Just looking at his suitcas-es, all made of smooth tan cowhide, confi rmed in my young mind once again that Uncle Lou had to be the richest man in all of New York.

Uncle Lou also had a good memory. Without even opening the boxes, he knew exactly which one was to go to each of us. Of course for Mother there were yards of beautiful silk material, and a purse made of genuine leather in bright red. I couldn’t imagine such luxury.

My box held a beautiful pair of white ankle stockings, with real lace around the tops, just like Mar-guirite wore to Northcote School, and books – how I loved owning

my very own books. Then, all that was left was a

box which Uncle Lou kept apart from all the rest. He held it under his arm, and I wondered if he had brought something by mistake be-cause he didn’t look like he was in any hurry to hand it to someone.

When we were fi nished with opening all the wonderful gifts, Uncle Lou fi nally handed Mother the box from under his arm. “It’s for the whole family,” he said, but Mother was to open it.

Mother sat down on a kitchen chair with the box in her lap. We fi ve children circled around her, and I could feel excitement right down to my toes. She seemed to take forever to untie the strings, and then she peered in the box, and was into the tears again.

What she took out of the box almost caused the rest of us to cry along with her. There nestled in mounds of white tissue paper was a brass American eagle exactly like the one on Uncle Lou’s big black Buick, only this one was on a ped-estal. Emerson, of course, wanted to hold it, but Mother had a death-grasp on it, and she kept rubbing it with the tail of her white apron.

Where to put it was the next question. Emerson, never short on ideas, thought it could be attached to the hood of the old Model T. The

old Model T, missing a door, paint-ed two different colours, and with a radiator that had to be opened every few miles to pour in more water.

And so it was decided. It would sit on top of the ice box. The new ice box that Grandfather had bought from Barnett’s in Renfrew and now sat kitty-cornered in the kitchen.

Audrey was told to take off the geranium plant, give the top a good wipe with a clean dishcloth, and when all that was done, Mother got up and as if she was laying a cornerstone at an historic building, she put the American brass eagle in the very centre of the ice box.

Not a word was spoken as we stood there like mutes, admiring this new and wonderful addition to our old log house.

There was some discussion about its being put on the twig table in the parlour with the Bible, but Audrey pointed out that the parlour was seldom used, and no visitor would ever see it.

And so it was decided. The American Eagle, identical to the one on Uncle Lou’s Buick, would have its home on our oak ice box, where it would be the fi rst thing anyone would notice, coming in the kitchen. Yes, we all agreed. That’s where this treasure belonged, and where it stayed all the time we lived on the farm in Renfrew County.

Uncle Lou’s extravagant gift brings tears of joyMARYCOOK

News - The city’s planning com-mittee made quick work of a plan to turn the former St. Clement church in Sandy Hill into micro apartments.

The plan from developer Black Iris involves tearing down the rec-tory and adding an addition onto the church for a total of 58 units.

“Personally, I’m happy that they’re keeping the church,” said Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury. “There are a lot of things they’ve worked on in terms of de-sign to highlight the church a little more.”

Still, Fleury said he wishes the developer did more with the design to move the addition back so the church itself could be more visible from the west.

“As you come up Mann Avenue, you see the peak of the church, but you have to almost be in front be-fore you truly see it,” Fleury said. But if the building was moved back, fi ve parking spaces would be lost, Fleury said, or the building would have to be made smaller.

A car-sharing space was added to the proposal and the number of parking spaces was increased to 10 from the developer’s original sug-gestion of six spaces. The city’s rules would have required 38 park-ing spaces, but the planning com-mittee approved relief from that

provision because the apartment building is near the Transitway and would have 66 bicycle parking spaces.

A commitment to more land-scaping, including trees and shrubs around the parking area, was anoth-er positive change, Fleury said.

Although 60 people and the Action Sandy Hill community as-sociation sent letters in opposition to the development, none of them attended the planning committee meeting to speak against it. A rep-resentative from the Muslim asso-ciation, which currently occupies space in a commercial plaza on Mann Avenue, told the commit-tee the group wishes it could have purchased the land to retain it as a place of worship, but they lost out in a bidding war.

In community meetings, resi-dents had expressed concerns about a proposed rooftop patio on the new addition. The patio will be lo-cated at least 17 metres away from the nearest residential neighbour, according to the planning report, and it will have to be set back up to 1.5 m from the edges of the roof to mitigate the amount of noise and visual intrusion for neighbours. The city intends to limit the use of the rooftop patio from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. when the site plan is approved.

Garbage will be kept indoors in a chilled storage room and the de-veloper intends to have a full-time building manager on site.

News - Matt LaRue was only 20 years old when he died, but he already knew what he wanted to do with his life.

LaRue, an Orléans resident, was studying nutrition to work with diabetic youth, and aspired to work at CHEO. He died in 2009 from an aneurism that was unrelated to his diabetes.

His friends and family have made sure that even though he never achieved his dream of working at CHEO, his memory is still helping youth.An annual ball hockey fundraiser has pow-ers the Matt LaRue Endowment Fund, the fi rst ever endowment fund for diabetes at CHEO.

Because of the endowment fund, CHEO has named a room used for diabetes support servic-es after LaRue. In honour of his namename, Beijj – because of his Bichon Frise-dog style hair – the room is called the Beijj Room. It was named in December 2013.

The room houses staff such as dietitians, who work with newly diagnosed children and youth with diabetes.

“There are lots of challenges,” said dietitian Angela Cameron, who works in the Beijj Room. “And people have different learn-ing abilities.”

Dietitians use different tools,

such as a tablet and fake plastic food to work with the youth, some of which has been paid for with the Matt LaRue Endow-ment Fund. On average, each week sees one to two new pa-tients diagnosed with Type 1 dia-betes. The patients meet with the CHEO team every three months as they learn to live with the dis-ease. The fund also pays for con-tinuing education for some of the staff. This year, two dieititians are going to an international dia-betes conference in Toronto.

“Matt has quite a group of devoted friends,” said Megan Doyle Ray, manager of legacy giving at the CHEO foundation. She said his family and friends have been to see the room named in honour of their son and friend, and are proud that his memory is continuing.

One of his best friends, Corey Desormeaux, said LaRue would be “speechless” if he saw what had been done in his memory at CHEO.

“We’re in a transition pe-riod where friends are fi nishing school, some of us are in our careers,” Desormeaux said. “So sometimes you kind of sit back as you go through all the big milestones and wonder what Matt would be doing.”

The money for the endow-ment fund, which was created this past year, come from an annual ball hockey tournament held in Orléans.

The Matt LaRue Memorial Ball Hockey Tournament will be held this year on June 21 at the South Fallingbrook Community Centre.

The four-on-four tournament will have games going on from 10 a.m. to about 4 p.m.

Now in the sixth year, the tournament has expanded to become more of a community event. This year, they will have a bouncy castle for children, and a barbecue and silent auction.

Desormeaux, one of the or-ganizers, said more and more community members have been coming by to watch and partici-pate in the non-hockey activities since the tournament began. The aim is for the event to be known as an event for everyone in the community, not just a hockey tournament. The event will con-tinue to raise money to support the diabetes clinic at CHEO.

News - The past few years have been full of legal and medical strug-gles for Orléans wrestler Devon Nicholson.

Nicholson – who wrestles under the moniker Hannibal – has spent the past few years in legal battles and medical treatments to overcome the devastating effects of an inci-dent in the wrestling ring by Larry

Shreve, also known as Abdullah the Butcher.

Nicholson has always alleged that he contracted hepatitis C after Shreve cut himself with a blade sev-eral times in a match, then cut Nich-olson with the same blade.

Shortly after, Nicholson found out he had hepatitis C. Tests later confi rmed that both Shreve and Nicholson had the same uncommon genotype of hepatitis C.

He lost his World Wrestling En-

tertainment (WWE) contract and his dream turned into a nightmare.

A judge has now ruled that he did contract hepatitis C from Shreve - who must pay Nicholson $2.3 mil-lion in damages.

“He said he didn’t cut me, and he didn’t have hepatitis C,” Nicholson said. “You don’t have to have any special medical knowledge to know that’s dangerous.”

Nicholson hasn’t just been fi ght-ing a legal battle since the May 2007 fi ght.

The real fi ght has been for his life, going through intense treatment to fi ght against the hepatitis C.

The treatment

Nicholson went through is similar to chemotherapy, in the sense that it was very strong and caused crip-pling side effects.

“I felt like I was in prison,” he said about his time in treatment. “It was a nightmare situation. But it was well worth the suffering.”

Nicholson was cured, and is now hepatitis free. It’s part of the reason the settlement was less than the $6 million originally requested.

Now, Nicholson trains twice a day at the Bob McQuarrie Recreation Complex, lifting weights for several hours, and later coming back to run. He balances this with working at a group home for developmentally-

delayed adults. At 31 years old, he’s putting all

his efforts behind trying to achieve his dream he thought was gone for good. Now that he’s hepatitis-free, he can try out for the WWE again. He said that other wrestlers are en-couraging him, hoping to see he gets a second chance.

He’ll get his chance in Iowa on July 18, but he’s already had a chance to step back in the ring.

“It felt like I was home,” he said, about his May 10 match in Smiths Falls. “I don’t think I fell asleep until 5 a.m. later on. It’s just nice to be healthy and out in that world. I think that’s what my destiny is.”
