City looks to ease erosion of

Fitzroy land

COURTNEY SYMONS

[email protected]

The city is looking to slow the erosion of land near the Fitzroy Harbour Community Centre.

Roughly eight metres of land has been lost over a nine-year period from 1999-2008 due to a shift in the main channel fo the Carp River near the community centre.

The City of Ottawa has started an environmental assessment to develop and recommend alternative so-lutions to deal with the area of about 175 metres of the Carp River adjacent to the community centre.

The study will offer solutions on how to redirect the river’s water fl ow to minimize erosion, and en-sure that there is no increased risk to other nearby properties.

Karen Taylor, president of the Fitzroy Harbour Community Centre (FHCC), said that she’s glad the problem is being dealt with.

“It’s been slowly eroding for a number of years now,” she said. “They fi nally had to do something about it because it’s getting out of hand.”

She said the erosion can be seen alongside the out-door rink beside the community centre. If the erosion continues, she said, they could lose the rink.

Public input and comments are invited to be incor-porated into the planning and design of the study.

Any decisions reached by the study will be imple-mented in the spring of 2012.

The Fitzroy Harbour Commu-nity Centre’s basement just got a makeover.

What used to be a children’s nursery fi lled with old toys and faded primary colours has been transformed into an explosion of bright hues and teen-friendly nooks.

The metamorphosis was spear-headed by Sarah Hanniman, director of Youth Connexion, a City of Ottawa run group, allow-ing young people to carry out community service projects, de-velop leadership skills, and just spend quality time together.

The new Youth Connexion Lounge will host an open house on Oct. 13 from 7-8 p.m. for youth of all ages to come see the fi n-ished product.

After that, the lounge will be open on Tuesdays and Thurs-days for youth aged 10-17.

The project began in June, when Youth Connexion was granted the go ahead by the com-munity centre. That’s when they began to clear out the room, do-nating toys and games to day-cares, and trashing the rest.

Next up was cleaning the walls, then picking out the paint colours.

“We went out and grabbed a whole bunch of paint chips,” Hanniman said, “There was no way we could decide on just one colour.”

Neon green, blue and yellow won out.

The core renovation team con-sisted of Hanniman and Youth Connexion members 15-year-old Quinton Champion-Demers, 16-year-old Jake May, 15-year-old Chelsea Proulx and Sarah’s 16-year-old sister Candice Hanni-man.

“We painted down here for what must have been a month,” director Hanniman said. “As soon as we fi nished painting the room, the outside hall was just plain white. So it was like, OK, we need to paint the whole thing.”

The outdoor hall, which also leads to the City of Ottawa’s lo-cal branch of the library, also got a spruce up with lime green and teal painted walls.

Bricks, it turns out, are very hard to paint, and they required a lot of coats.

“I know now I don’t want to be a painter,” Hanniman said.

“I’ll stick to Youth Connex-ion.”

During the summer holi-days, many Youth Connexion members work in the commu-nity centre, so after their shift they would stop by to paint for awhile.

Re:Increased funding for medical transportation helps rural residents, Sept. 22, KKS.

The Western Ottawa Community Re-source Centre has not raised its fares for its seniors transportation program for more than two years and the maximum

fare charged is $50 for a two-way trip – not $45 one-way as stated in the article. Cathy Jordan, director of the WOCRC, said the transportation service has not been cut and continues to grow, and in fact, the centre subsidizes the service for its clients. We regret the error.

Correction

COURTNEY SYMONS

[email protected]

As health care trends shift away from only hospitals towards a balanced ap-proach including homecare, services offered to community members must change, too, said Cathy Jordan, executive director of the Western Ottawa Commu-nity Resource Centre (WOCRC).

An essential part of that change in-volves transportation said Jordan.

The Champlain Local Health Integra-tion Network (LHIN) pledged $730,000 in new annual funding for non-urgent medical transportation in eastern Ontar-io, some of which will be allotted to the WOCRC.

Jordan said that this funding, in addi-tion to funds from the city, enables the WOCRC to offer transportation services to seniors and persons with disabilities who need help getting to their appoint-ments.

These funds cover expenses like screen-ing volunteer drivers, Jordan said, but aren’t enough to cover all costs.

Volunteers pick up clients from their homes and drive them where they need to go. The clients are charged a fee that covers the mileage paid to the volunteers for the use of their vehicle.

The WOCRC’s fee schedule requires that for one to 10 kilometres, the client is charged $10, incrementally increasing up to 81 to 100 kilometres for $40. Each addi-tional kilometre costs 45 cents, but once the fee starts to creep upwards, excep-tions can be made, said Jordan.

“When we get up into a higher price range, there’s a conversation with our staff,” Jordan said.

Clients who otherwise could not af-ford the service are given subsidized costs, and Jordan said that the most she has heard of anyone paying is $50 for a roundtrip drive.

“We want to make sure the clients get the service when they need it,” she said. “We work with the client to fi nd out what they can afford.”

The WOCRC has arrangements with many local hospitals so that there is no parking fee for volunteer drivers.

Depending on the appointment, the vol-unteer will stay with the patient for the duration of their hospital stay.

“It’s an accompaniment service too,” Jordan said. “If you have to go to the hospital and walk around to who knows where, the volunteer will stay with you and make sure you know where you’re going.”

For longer appointments, the accom-paniment service is impractical, and the client can arrange for a pick-up later in the day.

Jordan said that their fees have not in-creased in over two years, and that the WOCRC has been working with organiza-tions like the LHIN and the city’s Para-transpo service to discuss how to make non-urgent medical transportation bet-ter.

“Transportation is a huge challenge,” Jordan said. “The focus of keeping people out of the hospital means that transpor-tation becomes a very important piece of the health care system.”

To arrange transportation with the WOCRC, dial their main line at 613-591-

3686. Forty-eight hours of advance notice is preferred, but exceptions can be made in some cases.

“If we want to support them out of the hospital, we need to make sure they still have access to healthcare,” Jordan said.

The WOCRC’s transportation service is provided for non-medical drives as well – they offer a $10 round trip service to the grocery store or to the mall, with the client paying any additional parking fees.

Adele Muldoon lives in Dunrobin and was a volunteer for non-urgent medical transportation in the 1990’s. She has been campaigning for more affordable ser-vices after seeing a good friend of hers, Laurie Pulsifer, have to make three trips a week to the hospital for dialysis using a provided transportation service.

“We want people to have this service,” Muldoon said, referring to herself and the other people campaigning for better non-urgent medical transportation, including Jordan. “We’re all in this together.”

The WOCRC just celebrated their 25th anniversary at 2 MacNeil Crt. in Kanata.

SPECIAL TO THE REVIEW

At its fall closing meeting, the Galetta Lawn Bowling Club honoured one of its founding members. Kin Dillane, presi-dent of the club, presented Helen MacH-ardy with an honorary life membership certifi cate.

Helen, along with her husband Don-ald, was instrumental in getting the lawn bowling club started in Galetta in 1991.

In addition to providing untiring support for the club’s activities, Helen became an accomplished bowler in her own right. Helen, who now lives in Fitz-roy Harbour, thanked the membership and noted that she was pleased that the club is prospering and encouraged all in attendance to keep the traditions going.

The president congratulated Grant Fletcher, Sandra Jefferies, Dave Jefferies, Ted Tozer and Sue Smith on their stellar play in district, provincial and Governor General’s competitions throughout the

summer. Dillane commended and named 25 members who also excelled in various competitions during the playing season.

Gordon Wright presented the trophies to the winners of the various In-house tournaments:

triples – John and Carol Stephenson and Andrew Tait; mixed pairs – Jim Bos and Jean McCarron; novice triples – John Stevenson, Bessie McGuire and Elaine Patterson; ladies pairs – Jean Mc-Carron and Greta Vances; mens pairs – John Bennett and Bob Vance; novice pairs – John Bennett and Marilyn Nix-on.

The surprise highlight of the night was the comedic banter of member Jean McCarron of Arnprior. Jean delighted those in attendance with 15 minutes of one-line zingers.

The lawn bowling green will be closed down within the next few weeks. The opening of next season will be on May 22, 2012, which will be followed shortly thereafter by the club’s annual open house. Information regarding the club can be obtained from Kin Dillane at 613-832-5456, at [email protected] or at the club’s website, www.lawnbowls.org.

Members of the drop-in youth camp be-ing run upstairs would come downstairs, grab a paintbrush and dig in.“A lot of peo-ple helped out along the way,” Hanniman said. “We’d just put it on our Facebook statuses, ‘Come down to the Fitzroy Com-munity Centre’s Youth Connexion Lounge and help out!’ And they did.”

Community members donated couches which have been covered with black sheets, a nice contrast to the bright walls. Other donations included a television, speak-ers, a table, games, and a multi-functional games table including foosball, ping pong, air hockey and shuffl eboard too.

Youth Connexion conducted various fundraisers throughout the summer in-cluding a car wash to save up for things they still needed, like chairs.

The team was given a budget of $15 per chair, and sent off to Ikea where they even-tually ended up with metal barstools with black seats and backrests.

“Those things were horrible,” Champi-on-Demers said. “They were impossible to put together.”

They put air fresheners up to alleviate the basement-like smell of the place, mak-ing a pleasing difference in aroma.

Some donations are still to come, includ-ing from one community member who is working on sewing big cushions with funky designs to serve as seats.

Paul Champion-Demers, a local carpen-ter and Quinton’s father, is also donating

what will be a laptop bar installed along the wall.

Wireless Internet will go into the base-ment within the next week or so, Hanni-man said.

Another ongoing project will be the room’s ceiling tiles, which Youth Connex-ion members will paint one at a time every month or so.

With all the changes that have gone on in that basement this summer, Hanniman’s favourite part isn’t a material item.

“It’s the consistency,” she said. “Before, it was hit and miss when something would happen, so I’m happy to say that there is something three times a week for youth to do.”

On Tuesdays, the lounge will be open from 3 to 4:30 p.m. for youth aged 14-17, and from 4:30 to 6 p.m. for youth aged 10-13.

On Thursdays, it will be available from 6 to 7:30 p.m. for those aged 10-13, and from 7:30 to 9 p.m. for 14-17-year-olds.

Starting on Oct. 12, Wednesdays will be Teen Volleyball Night, a program Hanni-man began last summer for kids to stop by and play some volleyball.

“It went really well last year,” Hanniman said. “We had 17 youth come out to Fitzroy, which was quite a bit.”

The event takes place at Fitroy Harbour’s St. Michael Catholic School from 7:30-8:30 p.m.

Each of those three nights costs $2 per person, and Hanniman said she is plan-ning to start up Connexion Cards, which parents can load money on to be deducted

each visit, instead of having to remember to bring a toonie every time.

Youth Connexion members racked up between 40 to 100 hours of community service each for their work with the youth group.

“I liked being able to throw around our own ideas and designs,” May said. “We all got our own say in the decisions.”

The younger Hanniman said her favou-rite part was clearing out the whole room, and then putting it back together again

piece by piece.Proulx said that, somehow, the painting

was her favourite part.“I just liked getting to meet new people

and work with them,” she said.Hanniman said she spent about 15 hours

per week all summer in that basement.“I felt like I lived here,” she said, “But I

didn’t mind.”For more information visit the website

A recent minor sensation was the revelation that someone has ranked Ottawa the eighth-worst-dressed city in the world.

The newspapers were full of it.The ranking was done by the website

MSN Travel and, to be fair, our city was in good company. Among the cities con-sidered to dress worse than Ottawa were San Francisco, Seattle, Boston, Vancou-ver (the yoga pants), Maui (the Hawaiian shirts) and Orlando (the Disney cos-tumes).

Nevertheless, it still hurts, doesn’t it? You get up in the morning, put on your best blue suit and matching blue tie, then turn on the Internet and fi nd that very suit and that very tie used to illustrate an article on Ottawa’s bad fashion sense.

“As a city populated by suit-and-tie civil servants, there is zero audacity to be different and nary a fashion effort is made,” says the article. “Everyone looks like they’re frozen in the 1980s. Men sport the same boring navy suits that hang like shapeless curtains across their shoulders, women choose sensible shoes, sedate colours and are unremarkably re-spectable, and everyone is just so matchy matchy.”

Well, how seriously should we take

this? Not at all. For one thing, the picture is obviously a fake – the guy in the suit is not wearing I.D. tags around his neck.

For another thing, there is more to life than how you look. How you eat, for example, and how you fi sh.

For a third thing, not caring about how you dress shows an absence of vanity, vanity being a terrible thing. Also, not caring how you dress saves you a lot of money.

That being the case, Ottawa should, logically, place high on the list of Cities That You Don’t Have to Spend a Lot of Money to Live In.

But, for a fourth thing, who says we look so bad? Who makes these rules? People on the Internet, that’s who.

The rules are very arbitrary, and pos-sibly wrong. Suppose you walked down the street in Maui and you weren’t wear-

ing a Hawaiian shirt. People might point at you and snicker. Suppose you showed up in Orlando not wearing sandals and Bermuda shorts. People would think you were an undercover police offi cer.

Guys in Seattle are being attacked now for wearing the same fl annel shirts that made the city cutting edge a few years ago.

A fashion sense has to be a fl exible thing and people in Ottawa are doing the best they can under diffi cult circum-stances.

It used to be much easier. You wore your suit and tie every day, sometimes changing your tie. Then the idea of casual Fridays arrived. For a while that was OK: it just meant suit, no tie, or tie, no jacket. Then it became sports shirts and different kinds of pants.

More complicated. To make matters worse, there was the shifting nature of the work week. Not everybody worked Monday to Friday. So, if you had Fri-day off, did that make Thursday casual Thursday? Even if you were the only one in the place without a tie on?

You can bet the folks at MSN Travel weren’t thinking a lot about these fac-tors.

Not everyone in the city is hostile

to the idea that we could dress better. For example, owners of clothing stores – surprise! In a newspaper interview, one suggested that younger Ottawans are making an attempt to improve.

“It’s people that have at the same time, adopted some of that casual dress code, but they’re trying to make that the best that they can,” he said. “It’s a little better than wearing Dockers and a golf shirt to go to work.”

Wait a second: Are you saying Dockers and golf shirts are bad? And the Hawai-ian shirt is out too? So much to learn, and so little time.

Anyway, how much effort can we be expected to make when we know we have to hang the I.D. tags over it?

Who says Ottawa doesn’t look good?

EDITORIAL

Do research before pet purchase

In the wake of one of the largest puppy-mill rescues in recent history, a proposal to get Ottawa to ban the inhumanely bred dogs at local pet stores is getting a lot of attention.

As it should. The conditions of more than 500 dogs were forced to live in at an Outaouais puppy mill highlighted the need for renewed animal-protection laws.

But is strengthening a city bylaw really going to accomplish that goal?

Pet shops aren’t the fi rst stop for most people looking to buy a new pet.

Besides breeders, shelters and pet shops, clas-sifi ed ads and the Internet are two of the most common places to look for a new pet and unfor-tunately, that’s how many puppy-mill breeders sell their animals, which are often sick and mistreated.

There is not much the city can do to prevent that.

While one suffering dog is one too many, an Ottawa bylaw would only have an impact on fewer than a handful of stores that sell dogs in this city.

There are only four pet stores that don’t get

animals from the humane society, according to Coun. Mark Taylor, chair of the city’s commu-nity and protective services committee.

What is needed, he says, are strong regula-tions – and penalties – at the provincial and federal levels.

In Ontario in 2005, the province added a hefty fi ne of up to $50,000 for puppy mill operators who break the Ontario Society for the Preven-tion of Cruelty to Animals Act.

Federally, Canada’s animal cruelty law dates to the original criminal code from 1892. The fi nes were increased in 2008, but anti-animal cruelty advocates want the defi nition of “abuse” strengthened.

In the meantime, prospective puppy parents can do their part: don’t buy from a breeder unless you are allowed to contact references and see the conditions in which the animal was raised.

Why not rescue an unwanted dog by adopt-ing from a shelter such as the Ottawa Humane Society?

The best way to put a stop to puppy mills is to stop buying from them.

Carleton area responded to 57 gener-al calls for service from the public for the reporting period of Sept. 9 to 15.

In addition to the calls for service, patrol offi cers are also proactively en-forcing the Highway Traffi c laws, re-sponding to false 911 and alarm calls, and assisting the Ottawa fi re, para-medics and bylaw services.

DEER COLLISION COUNTER

Week thirty-eight and only one deer collision was reported in the West Car-leton area.

The total score now stands at 90 to 54 in favor of Rideau-Goulbourn.

Please don’t forget, rutting season is just around the corner. This means that deer will pretty much become stu-pefi ed by the hormones and won’t be looking out for you.

THINGS THAT MAKE YOU GO HMMM

While out patrolling around West Carleton area during the early after-noon hours on Wednesday, Sept. 14, an offi cer spotted a lone vehicle sitting next to a fi eld and heard her intuitions calling out—this is suspicious.

Acting on her intuition the offi cer engages herself onto a call and re-quests for backup.

Hmmm…it’s September month and that means marijuana harvesting sea-son; a lone vehicle sitting next to a fi eld for no apparent reason does seem suspicious.

After apprising the dispatcher of the situation the offi cer scans the area for clues and answers.

From a distance she could see the lone vehicle sitting next to a fi eld with two occupants seated in the back. Be-cause of the way the occupants were seated she could easily sneak up on them to gain the upper hand; however, it was best to wait for backup and con-tinue monitoring the situation.

If the occupants were on the look-out they would have realized that they were being watched; something was occupying their time, hmmm…very strange.

Within a short time backup arrived on scene and the two offi cers were off making their approach on the vehicle.

As the offi cers drew near the view through the rear windshield quickly provided the answers to the many questions that swirled in their heads. Ahhh…if the weather was cold out-side the windows would have defi nite-ly been all steamed up.

Grinning, the offi cers glanced at each other to signal that it was safe to proceed and rap on the window. A gen-tle rap was defi nitely in order; in the heat of “this magic moment” a loud bang on the door would have probably been unappreciated.

After the couple dressed and re-gained their composure, the offi cers advised them on the legal ramifi ca-tions of trespassing on private prop-erty and sent them on their way with their new found knowledge.

MORE HMMM

A passerby called police at around

4 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 10, to report a suspicious situation—a man was sleeping inside of a car that had been parked on Upper Dwyer Hill Rd. since early that morning.

On investigation police discovered that the sleeping driver was actually a private investigator who had fallen asleep.

MISCHIEF

• Sept. 10: Bayview Drive, Constance Bay: A complainant reported a mis-chief to property incident that oc-curred sometime during the overnight hours on Friday, Sept. 9—two fence panels were kicked out and a real es-tate sign was torn out of the ground.

Noises were overheard by a witness at around 9 p.m. on Friday; however, no one went out to investigate it.

• Sept. 10: 205 Bayview Dr., Constance Bay: At St. Gabriel’s Parish Church an unidentifi ed person smashed in a street lamp, which was located on the front lawn of the church, and over-turned some fl ower pots.Damage is estimated at around $200.

THEFT

• Sept. 10: Sunning Hills Crescent, Constance Bay: At around 6 a.m. on Saturday morning police were dis-patched to Sunning Hills for a report of a theft from vehicle incident. The complainant told police that some un-identifi ed person had gone through his vehicle at around 2:30 a.m.

While strolling along Sunning Hills the investigating offi cer found a small fi rst-aid kit sitting on the lawn of #163, a Ford pickup truck manual at #147, a briefcase and several documents lying on the road in front of #130, and two vehicles with its doors left ajar.

Along Bayview Dr. the offi cer found a mailbox and civic address sign stick-ing out of a van door, an open vehicle trunk hatch, a rummaged through pickup truck at #248, and overturned fl ower pots and a broken light stan-dard at St. Gabriel’s Church.

Out of the complainant’s unlocked vehicle a cellphone was stolen from the center console.

• Sept. 10: Holiday Drive, Constance Bay: Several music CD’s and $10 in change were stolen out of an unlocked vehicle sometime during the overnight hours on Friday, Sept. 9.

The complainant told the call taker that other vehicles in the area had also been broken into.

The call taker advised the complain-ant to speak with his neighbours and to ask them to report any theft or at-tempted theft incidents to police.

• Sept. 10: Holiday Drive, Constance Bay: An unidentifi ed thief rummaged through an unlocked vehicle that was parked in a complainant’s driveway sometime between midnight and 9 a.m. on Saturday. Reported stolen were a vehicle ignition key, a house key, a post offi ce box key, kids DVD movies, and music CDs.

• Sept. 15: Bayview Drive, Constance Bay: An unlocked vehicle was rum-maged through sometime between Fri-day, Sept. 9 and Wed., Sept. 14 but noth-ing was reported stolen or damaged.

A clear plastic bag with the number 10-5237 was found sitting on the front seat of the vehicle for unknown rea-sons.

MAKE THE RIGHT CALL

It is important to know the numbers to call for an appropriate response:

• 911 – for life-threatening emergen-cies or crimes in progress.

• 613-230-6211 – other emergencies, i.e.: suspicious incident or distur-bance.

• 613-236-1222, ext. 7300 – the O.P.S. call centre, to report a theft, missing person or stolen vehicle.

• 311 – for bylaw dispatch services.All of these numbers along with oth-

Amazing deals on the coolest events,

Offi cers interrupt ‘magic moment’CONST.JEON

Ottawa Police Service

The recent warm temperatures may have us thinking that summer is never going to end. However, the actions of our wild neighbours tell us this is only wish-ful thinking. Red squirrels are busy felling cones from pines while Beavers tirelessly tow poplar limbs to their ever-burgeoning food piles. And fl ocks of geese are now winging their way across the sky.

If you listen quietly at night you will still hear the chirps and cheeps of boreal birds migrating south. The fall migration is still ongoing and now many migrants from the far north such as American pip-its and American golden and black-bel-lied plovers are passing through. Soon the darlings of the north, the snow bun-tings, will be paying us a visit.

How far south a bird migrates depends largely on its dietary needs. Arctic shore-birds need vast expanses of invertebrate-rich mud in which to forage so most head to South America.

Warblers glean caterpillars from leaves and so many travel to Central America. White-throated Sparrows and dark-eyed juncos feed on seeds hidden on the ground, so they travel only as far as the snow cover dictates.

How birds get to their destinations also varies. Most songbirds including warblers and thrushes migrate at night, taking advantage of the cooler air (their fl ight engines are air-cooled) and lack of predators. Hawks migrate only during the day, effortlessly exploiting the rising columns of warm air as they thermal hop all the way to the Gulf of Mexico and be-yond.

Northern geese and shorebirds used a mixed strategy. Many fl y by day and by night, some travelling thousands of kilo-metres before stopping to rest and feed.

The recently crowned world champion is a red knot, a sandpiper smaller than a pigeon, that fl ew non-stop for six days, covering an amazing 8,000 kilometers in that time. Its round-trip encompassed an even more remarkable 26,700 kilometres.

Although we cannot see the noctur-nal migrants, studies have revealed that birds change the way they fl y after the sun goes down. Instead of fl apping their wings continuously, songbirds adopt a woodpecker-like fl ight. They fl y in an undulating motion with bouts of fl ap-ping bringing them up near the crests of the waves. Just before they reach the top, they pull their wings tight against their body and soar up and over the crest where they fi nally succumb to gravity. Partway along their downward descent they start fl apping again, only to rise up once again, a pattern repeated all through the night.

Geese don’t fl y this way but by form-ing their famous V fl ocks they conserve energy. Each bird aligns itself behind the wingtips of the bird ahead where air is being pushed up by the wing tip. Each fol-lower saves energy by exploiting the free lift provided by the bird ahead.

Geese also honk a lot as they fl y. It is said they are using contact calls to keep the family groups together. I wonder if they are really saying: “Hey buddy, want a lift?”

Fitzroy Harbour environmental assessment study

Notice of study commencementSchedule “B” Class EA for the Fitzroy Harbour Community Centre Slope Stability and Geomorphology Study.

The studyThe City of Ottawa has initiated this Class Environmental Assessment (EA) to develop and recommend alternative solutions and mitigation measures to address the ongoing erosion problem near the Fitzroy Harbour Community Centre. The study area has been identifi ed as approximately 175 metres of the Carp River adjacent to the Fitzroy Harbour Community Centre.

Problem statementThe City of Ottawa is developing alternative solutions to address the ongoing erosion concerns adjacent to the Fitzroy Harbour Community Centre. Approximately eight metres of land has been lost over the nine year period from 1999-2008. This loss is attributed to a shift in the main channel of the Carp River near the Community Centre. Alternative solutions on the Carp River will be considered for in-stream fl ow redirection with the goal of mitigating the erosion concerns with the understanding that there can be no increase in risk to other properties in the area.

The processThis project follows the planning and design process as defi ned in the Municipal Engineers Association Municipal Class Environmental Assessment document (2007). The project is being planned under Schedule “B” of the Municipal Class EA and as such the public and appropriate agencies will be consulted once alternatives are developed and evaluated. Subject to comments received, the City intends to proceed with the implementation of the mitigation measures commencing in the spring of 2012. A Notice of Completion will be issued and the Project File will be made available for public review and comment.

Public comments invitedPublic input and comment are invited for incorporation into the planning and design of this project. If you have any questions, comments, or wish to be added to the study mailing list, please contact:

The Fabulous BelAirs are bringing their fi ve-piece band to Fitzroy Harbour to relive the days when rock and roll music ruled the airways, and the Chevy BelAir was king of the drag strip.

Be transported back to the past and ex-perience those unforgettable memories and authentic harmonies reminiscent of the 50s and 60s.

Based in Brockville, The Fabulous Be-lAirs, a 50s and 60s rock and roll show, have had an exciting career playing throughout eastern Ontario and New York since their inception in the summer of 1986. They are well known for authentic rock-a-billy gui-tar solos, a variety of arrangements, in-strumentation and incredibly tight vocal harmonies.

Past performances include opening for the Five Man Electrical Band; Jan and Dean; Frankie Valli; the Mamas and the Papas before a crowd estimated at 40,000,

and they celebrated Canada Day at Otta-wa’s Parliament Hill for an enthusiastic crowd of 130,000 people.

“What makes the band work,” said lead singer Ken Kubiak, “is that we all endeav-our to keep the sound original to the artist and each performance dynamic and spon-taneous to the audience.”

Other band members are Dave Gardiner on lead guitar, Paul Gardiner on rhythm guitar, bass and keyboards; James Mur-ray on bass and sax; and of course, Brian Healy, the drive behind the band, on drums and percussion.

This event, being held at the Fitzroy Harbour Community Centre at 100 Clifford Campbell St. in Fitzroy Harbour, promises to be fun, entertaining, and an unforget-table experience; not to mention, proceeds benefi t improvements to the Fitzroy Har-bour Community Centre.

The doors open at 8 p.m., and the show starts at 9 p.m., on Saturday, Oct. 22. Pre-pare to come early as it is fi rst come, fi rst served. The cost is $20 per person at the door.

For parents of school-age children and students at Ontario’s colleges and uni-versities, provincial spending on educa-tion will always be a key issue.

And that focus is ramped up come elec-tion time. Which party will cut, which will spend more, expand services or cut fees?

Current students and their parents may look at the short-term implications of the parties’ policies, but all Ontario residents should take a close look at pro-posals for our schools.

Beyond the tax bill to educate future generations, the quality of that educa-tion has ramifi cations that can only be measured in decades, not the four-year term of a governing party.

While spending on roads or hospitals may deliver improvements we can see in a year, education spending provides its payoff over the long term.

In the past few years we’ve seen the McGuinty government roll out full-day kindergarten in Ontario schools, the fi rst such program in North America. Today there are more than 50,000 children at school for the full day instead of the for-mer half-day. By September 2014, full-day kindergarten will be available in all pro-vincially-funded elementary schools in the province.

The Progressive Conservatives didn’t support the full-day legislation, but have accepted that the process can’t be scrapped now that it’s underway and par-ents are counting on it.

Nepean-Carleton PC MPP Lisa Ma-cLeod said the full-day system “can be improved upon.”

“We need to make sure all of the kinks are worked out,” MacLeod said.

The New Democrats support full-day kindergarten, but have expressed con-cerns about the lengthy implementation period.

Ottawa South NDP candidate Wali Farah, who has a masters in education from the University of Ottawa, said the full-day plan caused problems as it was rolled out.

“The classes are overfl owing with kids; more than was expected,” Farah said.

He said the effects have also been felt in daycare centres, which lost many of their older children to kindergarten.

He said an NDP government would in-vest $250 million over the next two years to stabilize the day care system so fees don’t increase beyond parents’ ability to pay.

Liberal MPP Bob Chiarelli is seeking re-election in Ottawa West-Nepean. He said the PCs were “dead set against full-day kindergarten” when the Liberals brought forth legislation to establish the program.

“Education is the single most impor-tant investment we can make,” Chiarelli said. “There have been a few bumps in

the road (establishing full-day kinder-garten), but the basic program rolled out very well, and parents like it.”

FROM JUNIOR KINDERGARTEN TO GRADE 12

During the election campaign, PC leader Tim Hudak has listed education and health care spending as two budget items a Tory government would not cut. MacLeod said

The Tories have pledged to increase spending on junior kindergarten to Grade 12 education by $2 billion before the end of a fi rst term if they form a gov-ernment after the Oct. 6 election.

She said rooting out waste and unnec-essary bureaucracy will result in savings in the education system.

The Liberals have increased spend-ing on education since coming to power. They point to the previous Harris-Eves PC government as the route Ontarians want to avoid. When the Progressive Conservatives held a majority at Queen’s Park from 1995 to 2003, there were spend-ing cuts that forced school boards to close schools.

Chiarelli said funding for Ottawa’s schools is up by more than 50 per cent since the Liberals came to power, and that the party is committed to investing as needs increase.

Over the last eight years, many class sizes have been reduced, with 97 per cent of primary classes holding 23 kids or less. There have been costs both in in-creased workforce and the need for more classrooms.

New Democratic Party leader Andrea Horwath has suggested Ontario’s schools are becoming “two-tier” because of fund-ing disparities.

She says the need to fundraise for im-portant educational events means some students get fewer or poorer learning op-portunities. Under an NDP government, each school would receive a $4,000 annual grant for clubs, sports teams and special events, and extra fees would be banned.

Farah said the current funding formu-la for schools looks strictly at the number of students in a school.

“They don’t look at the unique needs of each school,” he said, adding that funding gaps may add up to split grades. “People have told me they are fed up with split classes.”

POST-SECONDARY

Tuition fees at Ontario’s universities and colleges may be the most tangible ed-ucation issue in this election, in part be-cause the costs are out-of-pocket, instead of being part of a provincial budget line.

The Liberal government froze tuition during its fi rst two years in power. Stu-dent assistance has been increased, including an annual $150 grant for text-books per student.

The Liberals also created a grant sys-tem for lower-income families and now promise to expand the system so more students can receive post-secondary un-dergraduate tuition grants of 30 per cent. Unlike student loans, the grant money does not have to be repaid.

“Tuition is capped today,” said Chiarel-

li, adding that 86 per cent of students will qualify for the 30 per cent grants.

During the McGuinty years, the party says 200,000 new post-secondary spaces have been created, and the party’s plat-form says another 60,000 will be added.

Horwath has promised to freeze tuition for four years and to remove the provin-cial interest students pay on education loans.

Hudak matches the Liberal pledge to create up to 60,000 post-secondary spaces in the coming years, and suggests colleg-es and universities could compete for the new spaces.

The Tories would also in-crease the student loan limits so more children can attend college or university.

MacLeod said the PCs would provide fi nancial assistance to more students, but added that a tuition freeze may not be a fi scally responsible move.

“Tuition is something we can discuss after the election,” she said. “We’re talking now about more spaces and better access.”

City Hall

LAURA MUELLER

[email protected]

The city’s planning committee approved the addition of 850 hectares of land into Ottawa’s urban boundary on Sept. 27, but not before some wrangling over a piece of land in Kanata north.

The move was necessary after the On-tario Municipal Board (OMB) ruled that city council should have sided with its staff, who suggested the 850 hectares in 2009. Instead, city council tried to limit the amount of developable land over a shorter time period to 230 hectares in a bid to rein in sprawl.

The only change to the portions of land staff suggested to be added is a slight re-alignment of a parcel of land along March Road. Roman Diduch, a city engineer, said the change was necessary because the sloped ground in that area would be better served by a different type of sewer that uses gravity to allow stormwater to reach the Briarbrook pumping station.

But some councillors thought the change was arbitrary and that it high-lighted the city’s fragmented approach to planning.

Rideau-Rockcliffe Coun. Peter Clark led the charge to try and get the committee to adopt staff ’s original 2009 recommen-dation, without the change to the parcel in Kanata. He was backed by Cumberland Coun. Stephen Blais, Innes Coun. Rainer Bloess, Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley and Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri.

“If we’re doing things as ad hoc as we’re doing here, we’re not being responsible members of council,” Clark said.

Hubley argued that instead of nit-pick-ing over sewer servicing for one particu-lar parcel of land, the city should be taker a broader approach and planning for how development will impact the entire west end. That would encompass water and sewer servicing, traffi c and transit, as well as community resources such as rinks and pools.

“We should start building a plan,” Hub-ley said, to ensure infrastructure is in place before residents move into newly developed areas.

Hydro Ottawa has already been proac-tively working with the city to do that, Hubley said, and he would like to see oth-er departments follow suit.

That’s the message he and the three other councillors were trying to convey to city staff and their council colleagues by dissenting on the motion, Hubley said.

“We’re trying to change some atti-tudes,” he said. “They’re used to doing it one parcel at a time … The new council-lors are concerned about the future of the city. That’s the future. Staff need to pick

up on that.”The disagreement amongst committee

members led Alta Vista Coun. Peter Hume, the committee chair, to ask a lawyer what would happen if the committee and coun-cil didn’t take a position on which lands to add into the urban boundary.

City solicitor Tim Marc said the city would put itself in an “untenable” po-sition if it chose not to take a stand on which lands to add to the urban bound-ary, adding that it would be “a signifi cant reputational risk to the City of Ottawa.”

The recommendation of lands to be added to the urban boundary must still gain council’s approval on Oct. 12. It is expected to face further scrutiny at the OMB early next year.

LANDS ADDED TO THE URBAN BOUNDARY

While it still needs city council’s ap-proval, the planning committee recom-mended that the following areas be added to the urban development boundary, for a total of around 850 hectares:

• Along March Road and north of Old Carp Road in Kanata north.

• West of Terry Fox Drive north.• North of the Stittsville urban bound-

ary, west of Kanata, south of Highway 417 and three lots east of Carp Road.

• West of Stittsville and north of Ha-zeldean Road.

• South of Barrhaven (south of Cam-brian Road, east of Highway 416).

• South and east of Leitrim, mostly along Bank Street near Findlay Creek.

• East of Mer Bleue Road and north of Navan Road and east of Cardinal Creek in Orleans.

GEOFF DAVIES AND LAURA MUELLER

When 17-year-old William Ross realized he couldn’t hold back from harming himself, he ran downstairs and asked

his mother to drive him to CHEO.Jesse Graham told six people he was

thinking about killing himself, says Shelly, Jesse’s mother, but he never spoke to a professional about his demons. The people Jesse told kept it to themselves.

Today, William is recovering. Jesse took his own life last summer.

It’s a cruel twist of fate that the stories of these two young men, who faced such similar inner struggles, ended so differ-ently.

As is the case for many teens strug-gling with mental health challenges, it often comes down to knowing how to access the resources they need.

William, who went through counsel-ling when he was 12, knew. Jesse didn’t.

That’s why the first point of contact for most suicidal teens is the hospital emer-gency room, or a visit from the police, says Dr. Kim Sogge, chief of psychology professional practice at the Royal Ottawa Health Care Group.

“It’s a real dilemma for families,” she says.

Sogge says mental health professionals and agencies in Ontario and Ottawa need to do a better job of educating families and making them aware of the resources available to them.

Ben Leikin of Ottawa Public Health couldn’t agree more.

He is one of the partners involved with the Community Suicide Prevention Network.

The network arose as a result of the growing awareness of suicide that fol-lowed the high-profile suicide of 14-year-old Ottawa resident Daron Richardson last fall. The aim is to co-ordinate re-sources by bringing together the execu-tive directors and decision makers from a range of service providers.

After several months of meetings and consultations, the network decided the most pressing issue facing the mental health field in Ottawa is ensuring people are aware of the resources available and how to access them.

Leikin pointed out there are a lot of big issues that need to be addressed, like decreasing the stigma that still sur-rounds these issues, and creating a media awareness campaign to get the message out. But “bigger than those things, or a

big important piece of that, is still how to navigate the system,” Leikin says. “So that’s going to be what we tackle.”

The network will be creating “naviga-tion maps” to guide both youth and par-ents through the mental-health system.

“It will go into a bit more detail of how to navigate yourself through the system. It will … provide information about how one could work through it to get the ap-propriate services,” Leikin says.

Sogge says although awareness about

mental health is improving, funding isn’t following suit.

But Ottawa Public Health is trying to do its part. The city added $300,000 into its budget starting in 2011 aimed at add-ing suicide-prevention programming for parents and to provide funding to allow the Youth Services Bureau’s downtown crisis drop-in centre to be open for an extra day each week (that announcement is coming next month).

It’s a big step that marks Ottawa Public Health’s entry into the mental health field, Leikin says.

“We’re new to this in the sense that we’ve just started to make these strong connections in the mental-health area,” he says. “Whereas before Ottawa Public Health was an expert and a leader on various health topics, now mental health is becoming one of them, which is really exciting for us.”

The focus for the programs, which could start as soon as January, will be on youth in grades 7 and 8 – the “transition years,” says Nicole Frappier, who is also with Ottawa Public Health.

But Ottawa Public Health wants to make suicide part of the dialog with par-ents starting right at pre-natal classes, Frappier says.

It’s an especially pressing issue in Ottawa, where eight per cent of youth have seriously considered trying to kill themselves. That is a significantly higher rate than the rest of Ontario, a city report notes.

It’s the type of programming that officials hope will make a difference to families like the Grahams.

Now with several courses under her belt, Shelly Graham is learning more about suicide so she does know what to do.

Education is key for everyone, includ-ing parents, she says. One day, when she’s ready, she hopes to share her knowl-edge in classrooms.

What’s most important, she has learned, is to reach out to people suffer-ing. Though it may be uncomfortable, making the effort to break through could save a person, and spare the web of people who love them.

“There’s a real shame that comes with suicide. We will not be ashamed,” says Shelly. “Jesse was an awesome guy and we are going to talk about him. He was loved. Shame is what immobilizes you and it’s what keeps people suffering in silence. “And there’s been enough suffer-ing in silence.”

The biggest item on the wish list of Ted Charette, co-ordinator of Youth Services Bureau of Ottawa Mobile Crisis and Intake

Services, is Canada adopting a national suicide prevention strategy.

Canada is the only G-8 country without a national suicide prevention strategy.

The Canadian Association for Suicide Prevention is working on preparing a national suicide prevention strategy.

“I think it’s starting to gain some weight and some support around the families,” says Charette.

“We’ve had a blueprint for many, many years,” says Rene Ouimet, a director of the Canadian Mental Health Association and a member of the Canadian Associa-tion of Suicide Prevention.

Canada needs a body to co-ordinate suicide prevention programs across the country, said Ouiment.

“We keep lobbying,” she said.The Canadian Association of Suicide

Prevention released a suicide prevention strategy in 2004.

The objectives of the strategy include:Promote awareness across the country that suicide and suicidal behaviour is everyone’s problem and is preventable.Increase the number of employ-ers and volunteer groups that have suicide prevention, intervention and post-intervention programs.Promote understanding that “break-ing the silence surrounding suicide increases realistic opportunities to save lives and to reduce suffering.Launch an anti-stigma campaign.Reduce the availability and lethal-

ity of suicide methods (such as guns).Increase training for recognition of risk factors, warning signs and at-risk behaviours.Develop a national crisis-line net-work.Increase services and support to those bereaved by suicide or who have attempted suicide.Increase funding for suicide preven-tion programs.

“The only way we’re going to prevent suicide is to talk about it openly and directly,” said Ouimet.

Part 3: Mental health professionals and agencies work together for better community awareness

OUT OF THE DARKNESS A series about youth suicide

WorkshopsThe Canadian Mental Health

Association offers a series of suicide prevention training workshops in Ottawa:

SafeTALK: a three-hour course for people over the age of 15 to help identify persons with thoughts of suicide and connect them to suicide first aid resources. The cost is $40 to $60 to take the course.Applied Suicide Interven-tion Skills Training (ASIST): a two-day program offered 20 times a year in Ottawa that teaches suicide first-aid skills to anyone who may come into contact with a person at risk, using the most widely-used suicide intervention model in the world. The cost is $180 to take the course. More than 1,000 people take the course every year.

For more information call 613-737-7791.

Ottawa school boards have their own ASIST trainers.

Connecting with resources

A new website, www.emen-talhealth.ca, is making it easier for people to connect with the mental-health services that are appropriate for them.

In addition to having a direc-tory, it is like a Google search for mental health services, said Ben Leikin, mental health project of-ficer for Ottawa Public Health.

“So if you want to search something like ‘psychologist for a 14-year-old,’ it will bring up private practise psychologists as well as some programs that ex-ists for free. It indicates right on it is there is a fee, if it’s bilingual and where it’s located,” Leikin said.

The search also brings up news articles and useful links.

Election

KRISTY WALLACE

[email protected]

Natalie Mehra wants to see health care front and centre in this year’s provincial election campaign.

From hospital bed shortages to home care, Mehra said her group, the Ontario Health Coalition, wants to see candidates addressing issues that are affecting On-tarians.

“Access to health care is suffering,” said Mehra, the coalition’s director. “There are severe access issues, perhaps the stron-gest evidence of the problem is the level of hospital occupancy and overcrowding.”

Mehra said political parties need to ad-dress key health concerns like access to acute care hospital beds and longer-term care for seniors both in hospitals and in the community.

“It’s poor and inequitable,” Mehra said, adding that 18,500 hospital beds have been cut since 1990.

As a result, she pointed out Ontario resi-dents are traveling long distances for their surgeries and wait lists for long-term care beds have “never been higher.”

“In some areas, home care isn’t provid-ed at all anymore,” Mehra said. “Patients are required to travel long distances.”

Yasir Naqvi, the Liberal candidate for Ottawa Centre, said his party has built 18 new hospitals across the province that has helped alleviate wait times.

In Ottawa, his party has taken on initia-tives like doubling the size of Montfort

Hospital, added new wings at the Chil-dren’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario and expanded to Ottawa Heart Institute.

“All of these are really signifi cant in-vestments in our health care, just in the City of Ottawa alone,” Naqvi said. “Not to mention, we have hired almost 3,000 new doctors, 11,500 more nurses and now 94 per cent of Ontarians have a family doc-tor.”

Anil Naidoo, the New Democratic Party candidate for Ottawa Centre, said that his party agrees with the health coalition that there needs to be more improvement with beds and wait times.

“We have a plan, and we want to put people fi rst,” Naidoo said. “We need to in-vest more in a health care system that alle-viates some of the wait times in a thought-ful and practical way.”

Naidoo added that the NDP has commit-ted to investing more in home care and long-term care, which would also help alle-viate wait times for long-term care beds.

Randall Denley, the Progressive Conser-vative candidate for Ottawa West-Nepean, said the issue of long-term care is a par-ticularly signifi cant issue for his party.

In particular, he said his party wants to do better for Ontario seniors.

“We’re keeping them in the hospital, and it costs about $1,000 a day,” Denley said, adding that better at-home care could also help increase the amount of available hospital beds.

HEALTH CARE, from 15

Dave Bagler, the Green Party candidate for Ottawa-Vanier, said his party identi-fi es key health priorities for Ontario, in-cluding investing in home care.

“It’s a sad state when we have to bring a senior into a hospital to check if they have the fl u because we can’t send someone to them,” Bagler said. “If we can make those investments in home care, not only are we having money, but we’re also protecting seniors and addressing hospital bed con-cerns.”

The Green Party wants to focus on health promotion, he added, and putting money into preventative measures for dia-betes and obesity.

“The earlier you solve a problem, the cheaper is it,” Bagler said.

Mehra also wants to see the political parties address the question of whether

they will address privatization and pro-tect public, non-profi t health care.

“For-profi ts have reduced working con-ditions for workers,” she said. “The im-pact is there’s very, very high turnover.”

Naidoo said he worked as a health care campaigner, and his party will continue to be an advocate for universal public health care.

“The NDP is at the centre of the public universal health care system,” he said. “So of course, we’re going to be standing against privatization.”

Naqvi said the Liberals are “very much committed” to a publicly-funded, univer-sally-accepted health care system.

He said the Liberals have already passed legislation to ensure that the health sys-tem remains not-for-profi t.

“We’ve taken concrete measures in law and in practice to strengthen the founda-tion of a publically-funded health care

system,” Naqvi said.Denley said that it’s “pretty clear” On-

tarians already have a mix of private and public providers.

“If you get an X-ray, it’s a private provid-er,” he said. “But you pay for it with your OHIP card.”

Bagler said there will always be an ele-ment of private delivery like doctors who own their own clinics, and that it should be up to communities in Ontario to decide what is best for them.

“I’m in Ottawa-Vanier, and we’re a di-verse riding. Lowertown isn’t like Rock-cliffe. They don’t have the same needs,” he said. “What I’d like to see is let the com-munities have more of a say of what their health services are locally. That distin-guishes the Green Party from the others.”

Mehra said she would also like to know what concrete steps each party is taking to improve democratic governance and pub-lic accountability.

“We need democratic reform, re-estab-lish democratic governance and public ac-countability,” she said. “We have pushed very hard on those issues, including

improving democratic accountability and including a provincial ombudsman oversight.”

Naidoo said Ontario needs community-based governance, and Local Health Inte-gration Networks have been a “big disap-pointment.”

“We feel this government is creating an-other barrier between communities and Queen’s Park,” Naidoo said.

Denley also said getting rid of LHINs would help re-establish democratic gover-nance and public accountability.

He referred to the LHIN as a “pretend level of accountability” and doesn’t allow for communities to have any control or say over what the network does.

“There’s no democratic control, and health care is a provincial government re-sponsibility,” Denley said.

However, Naqvi said he’s concerned when he hears parties talking about scrap-ping the idea of LHINs.

He said the network is the “most impor-tant” innovation that the Liberal Party has come up with.

“In the past, we had a system where bu-reaucrats in Toronto deliver and develop practices in health care in Ottawa,” Naqvi said. “(The NDP and Progressive Conser-vatives) want to centralize health care, and bring decision-making back in the hands of few. That won’t be transparent.”

He added that medical experts have said that the LHIN gives them better tools to provide more effective locally-integrated health care to the community.

“I think that has made our health care system more accountable and transpar-ent, and any steps backwards will reverse that process.”

Bagler said the main Green Party theme is letting Ontarians focus on their own community.

“We want to allow communities to have a stronger say local decision-making and health services,” he said.

The box offi ce for the October show is now open and this time Rural Root Theatre is moving into the 21st century!

Rural Root Theatre has made it easier to reserve your seat.

Now there’s no need to arrive at the theatre really early to ensure a good seat because, if you booked ahead of time, you’ll have a num-bered seat held in your name.

Rural Root Theatre has also added the ability for patrons to reserve and pay for their tickets via the Internet.

Over the summer, two of the group’s best techies, Ivo Mokros and Roy Ballantine, developed an online booking system and we encourage our patrons to try the new system at www.ruralroot.org.

Of course reservations can still be arranged by the conventional method of calling the box offi ce at 613-832-1070.

Arts and Culture

COURTNEY SYMONS

[email protected]

The West Carleton Arts Soci-ety (WCAS) will host their an-nual fall sale on Oct. 8 and 9 with a distinctive Carp fl air.

Art in the Big Fish was the name of their Expressions of Art show last year, a nod to the village’s fi shy name that the show took place in.

This year, the fi sh are back.“Our signage is based around

some beautifully crafted carp fi sh which will be seen swim-ming around the countryside before the show,” said organizer Rosy Somerville.

Bearing the same title as last year, the art show will take place at the Carp Agricultural Hall lo-cated in the Carp fairgrounds on Saturday, Oct. 8 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Sunday, Oct. 9 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The Carp Farmer’s Market will be going on simultaneously, and art buffs or merely the Carp-curious can stop into the Agri-cultural Hall for free to peruse the 35 artists who will be exhib-iting between 15 to 30 pieces of artwork each.

Available art will include paintings, pottery, jewelry and wood pieces, with the artists on-hand to answer any questions about their work.

The event is run by the WCAS, whose mandate is to encourage the growth of visual arts in west-ern Ottawa, and also to support emerging artists. That’s why there will be partial exhibits by newer artists who may not have a full installation prepared, but are ready to show some of their work.

Each artist is required to sub-mit one piece based on the theme of Art in the Big Fish; a tradition that began last year.

“It’s just a fun thing,” Somer-ville said. “It produces some re-ally interesting pieces.”

The winner is selected by

popular vote, with the winning entry granted free admission to next year’s fall show.

With the show being held on Thanksgiving weekend, Somer-ville said it’s the perfect opportu-nity to bring family together.

“People can bring their family and friends while they’re enter-taining them for Thanksgiving,” she said.

Somerville will be exhibiting some of her watercolour paint-ings. She teaches at the Ottawa School of Art and also at an art centre in Bells Corners.

“I tend to do sort of abstracted realism in watercolour,” Somer-ville said. “I like to keep it fairly loose and free and vibrant and interesting.”

Next up for the WCAS is their annual mini-conference which will be held on Oct. 22 from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Carp Memorial Hall, titled The Artists’ Path.

Three guest speakers will pro-vide attendees with expertise on how to fi nd inspiration, as well as how to sell and frame your art.

Art the catch of the day at Carp show

Courtney Symons photoWest Carleton Arts Society member Cheryl Poulin displays two of her abstract mixed media works, titled (from top to bottom) Ship of Dreams and Moon Shine. Poulin will exhibit some of her work at this year’s Art in the Big Fish fall show from Oct. 8 to 9.

The speakers will include Wendy Feldberg,an award-winning fi bre and mixed media artist; Margit Hideg, an artist and creativity educator; and Patrick Gordon, a framing expert.

To fi nd out more about the Art in the Big Fish fall show or the mini-conference, visit the WCAS web site at www.westcarletonartssociety.ca or call show organizer Rosy Somerville at 613-839-1918.

A new program for parents of in-fants could be one of the Ottawa Pub-lic Health services that could boost the city’s revenue from user fees.

Dr. Isra Levy, the chief medical of-fi cer of health, said the agency is “exquisitely sensitive” to the effects of adding users fees for public-health services.

Still, Ottawa Public Health (OPH) needs to be looking at new revenue streams if it wants to do more with its programming, Levy said.

Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder, who sits on the OPH board, said that the proposed New Baby Express program is one such opportunity for user fees.

“I think on a lot of these programs it’s safe to assume that people can pay $30,” Harder said.

The program will be a partnership with the Ottawa Public Library and would serve to connect new parents with nurses and educational resourc-es for parents who are new to caring for an infant.

Even a minimal user fee of $5 as a

placeholder for some programs could help fi ll up the coffers, Levy said. But only certain programs, such as food-handler training, would be eligible for fees, Levy said, adding that the OPH would never make it cost prohibitive for residents to access preventative health services.

Increasing or adding user fees could be one way to reduce OPH’s dependen-cy on grants, Levy said. The possibil-ity of sponsorship opportunities was also mentioned.

“We’re just scratching the surface on everything we do,” said Coun. Di-ane Holmes, chair of the OPH board. The Somerset Ward councillor said OPH isn’t reaching a large enough population with its services, whether it is vaccinations, smoking cessation programs or programs to encourage prenatal health.

“If we really want to be preventing these costly diseases by using preven-tion techniques, we need to be spend-ing more,” she said.

OPH’s draft budget for 2012 includes an extra $492,000 in spending. That in-crease would be offset by savings from Service Ottawa, an effort to streamline

city services using technology.In addition to the New Baby Express

program, which would cost $145,000 in 2012, OPH would like to spend $200,000 on outbreak management and in-creased public health inspections and $147,000 on supports for seniors and caregivers.

Residents can make presentations to the OPH board at its special budget meeting on Oct. 17.

Ottawa’s drinking water continues to be some of the safest in the word, the city says, after a provincial report gave the city perfect scores on water quality.

“Two years in a row of perfect scores confi rms that the citizens of Ottawa en-joy drinking water quality that is second to none and that city staff is committed to ensuring that this continues,” Mayor Jim Watson said in a statement.

The Ontario Ministry of the Environ-ment report for 2010 looked at all six city drinking water systems: the central sys-tem (Britannia and Lemieux Island water purifi cation plants) and the Carp, Rich-mond-Kings Park, Munster Hamlet, Gree-

ly-Shadow Ridge and Vars well systems.According to the review, the city’s water-

quality testing program meets or exceeds what is required by the Safe Drinking Water Act. The operator certifi cation pro-gram and maintenance standards are also up to snuff, according to the report.

Ottawa treats and distributes 289 mil-lion litres of water every day and conducts more than 100,000 water quality tests each year.

OC Transpo is blowing through its 2011 fuel budget – no thanks to hybrid buses that aren’t saving as much fuel as antici-pated.

Ottawa’s “operating environment” is translating into a $1-million pressure on OC Transpo’s fuel budget.

The hybrids are only “marginally bet-ter” than regular diesel buses, OC Tran-po’s head of maintenance, Larry Atkin-son, told the city’s transit commission on Sept. 21.

Heavy, overloaded buses and the addi-tion of 60-foot accessible buses with bike racks is a contributing factor to the tune of $1.6 million, according to a city report.

The price of diesel fuel isn’t helping, and keeping buses parked outside idling, among other things, will cost just under a million dollars this year.

The picture for 2012 is even bleaker. OC Transpo is anticipating it will face a $7.5

million additional pressure on fuel costs next year.

The transit authority’s fuel budget has been trimmed by $6 million in each of the last two years for a total of $37 million in 2011.

The solution is complex. In the short term, it involves informing bus drivers about the effects of idling when a bus isn’t in service, and refreshing operators on effi cient cold-weather operations.

By early next year, OC Transpo will re-view the heating and cooling temperature settings on buses and expand a driver-training program aimed at educating drivers on ways to boost fuel effi ciency, including tire pressure, transmission set-tings and automatic performance track-ing.

In the long term, OC Transpo is looking at a new fuel management system, im-proved traffi c light integration and other bus modifi cations.

“We need to get on the ball and change our behaviours,” Atkinson said.

Hybrids not making OC Transpo fl eet more fuel effi cient

Buses are getting crowded as more people use public transit, and many aren’t thrilled with the outcomes of the Sept. 4 route “optimization,” say coun-cillors.

Suburban councillors in par-ticular said their offi ce phones have been lighting up with resi-dents complaining about sub-par service since the massive changes went into effect after Labour Day.

“I have many, many people – not just a few – who are now going back to their cars,” said Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson.

Innes Coun. Rainer Bloess said he is receiving a large

volume of calls from residents angry about packed buses – in-cluding a woman whose arm was closed into a bus door be-cause she couldn’t fully make it aboard the packed bus.

The overcrowding crush comes every fall when students and workers return from sum-mer vacations, OC Transpo head Alain Mercier told com-missioners during a Sept. 21 transit commission meeting.

And there are simply more people riding the bus, Mercier said.

There was a 6.3 per cent rise in OC Transpo ridership this August compared to last year.

The transit authority had its highest level of annual rider-ship ever in 2010 with 99.3 mil-lion trips.

Overcrowding is especially apparent in the downtown sec-tion of the Transitway that is set to be replaced by light rail in 2018.

The street network is almost hitting its capacity for the num-ber of buses it can handle at rush hour, which is about 180. That’s about the same as last year, Mercier said.

That led to delays of up to 20 minutes on some routes in the fi rst week of the route changes, mainly those leaving the down-town core.

Still, Mercier told council-lors that only seven per cent of riders had negative comments when surveyed by mystery shoppers aboard buses after the changes took effect.

The Sept. 4 route changes,

aimed at trimming $20 million from OC Transpo’s annual op-erating budget, have gone “as best as we believe it could have been,” Mercier said.

One councillor, Stephen Blais of Cumberland Ward, praised the route changes and the cor-responding budget savings.

OC Transpo is making some immediate tweaks to bus ser-vice, mostly to address over-crowding on route originating in the city’s east end.

IMMEDIATE ROUTE CHANGES

• Route 4: Switch to articulat-ed bus on trips departing north-bound from Hurdman at 6:15, 7:47 and 9:22 a.m. and departing southbound from the Rideau Centre at 7:01 and 8:31 a.m.

• Route 30: New trip departing Millenium Station at 7:37 a.m. and articulated buses added on 5:53 and 6:51 a.m. trips. In the afternoon, an articulated bus was added from LeBreton at 3:16 p.m.

• Route 34: Articulated bus added to 5:46 a.m. departure from Page and Innes roads.

• Route 41: Articulated bus added to 7:10 a.m. departure from Walkley/Heron roads.

• Route 87: Articulated bus added to 7:15 and 7:45 a.m. de-partures from Greenboro Sta-tion. New trip added departing from Uplands and Riverside drives at 7:35 a.m.

• Route 93: Articulated bus added to 7:55 and 8:10 a.m. de-partures from LeBreton Sta-tion.

When local Senstar employees gathered on Sept. 14 to celebrate 30 years of success-ful business in Carp, they had no idea what the day would hold for them.

The events had been kept top secret, and they’d been told they were on a need-to-know basis.

They had no clue they were about to em-bark on an Amazing Race through Carp.

Senstar, a high-tech security company, celebrates its 30th birthday on Oct. 5 after expanding internationally to over 80 coun-tries.

Because their main headquarters are (and always have been) in Carp, Vice-Pres-ident Eleanor Hodgson decided that their party should celebrate the town as well.

Hodgson hired Amanda O’Reilly and Jil-lienne Currie-Payant of Events in Style to plan the top-secret event that would send employees all over Carp to local business-es and landmarks.

After a BBQ lunch held by Senstar on Sept. 14, employees were divided into groups of four and told to pick a team name.

Next, each person was allotted one egg to guard with their life – it was their ticket into the evening event. They still had no idea where that event would be, of course.

The Amazing Race participants also didn’t know that each egg was painted with black ink dye – to be scanned at the door by Russian-looking bodyguards to en-sure there were no fakes.

When the team was named and eggs dec-orated, the groups set off on a mad scram-ble throughout Carp. First stop included a trip to the Carp Agricultural Society at the fairgrounds where a team photo would be taken with all members (eggs included).

Teams made a trip to the Twisty Cream to buy ice cream cones including a Twist-er-like distribution of limbs to feed eacho-ther their cones while gathering photo documentation of the whole event. Their clue to get to the shop? “Go to a place with the name of a popular dance in the 60’s and a colour.”

Another task included taking a photo of a book with the word “star” in it.

A trip to the Harvest Moon Orchard re-quired the frantic fi lling of a 50-pound bar-

rel with apples off the ground.Some challenges offered a choice, such

as fi nding 25 toothpicks or heading to a dentist’s offi ce to take a photo with the dentist.

Perhaps the cruelest of the tasks includ-ed the choice of stacking six cans of soda on top of one another (it can’t be done), or taking a photo of three team members shaking their pop cans and spraying it on the fourth.

Five major pit stops with three tasks at each made for a four hour race throughout Carp.

The last clue led the teams to Irish Hills Golf & Country Club, where they were fi -nally given the GPS coordinates of their evening event’s location.

(Faux) Russian bodyguards and a red carpet awaited exhausted team members at the Carp Fairgrounds, where one of the barns had been turned into a swanky lounge for a dinner and dance.

Senstar’s celebration was attended by many of their international partners from Israel, Germany, Mexico and the United Kingdom.

President Brian Rich was kept in the dark about the top-secret events also.

When the company fi rst came to Carp in 1981, there were only seven of them.

“There were four main partners, two young hotshot engineers of which I was one, and an offi ce administrator,” Rich said.

Carp was chosen because they wanted a large test site for their security equip-ment, which includes highly sensitive bur-ied cable.

Senstar doesn’t do regular home alarm systems, but instead provides services to bigger facilities such as airports, nuclear power plants, parking lots and celebrity homes.

Rich said their 3.2-hectare test site is one of the largest in the world, rivaling even the U.S. government.

Several of their security projects are in and around Carp, but Rich can’t give away client information. Another reason why their top-secret event was so fi tting for their company.

Over the next 12 to 18 months, Senstar will be devoting a signifi cant portion of their revenues to research and develop-ment in Canada.
