Burglars ringing doorbellsSTAFF
Ottawa police are warning resi-dents in Hunt Club, Riverside South and Barrhaven about a series of break-ins in the area.
Police are investigating numer-ous daytime residential break and enters where home alarms are being disabled.
Two males have been reported go-ing door to door ringing doorbells,
targeting unoccupied homes. If resi-dents answer, the suspects appear to have a prepared script, including asking about items for sale.
Residents are being asked to be vigilant and notify police of any suspicious people in their neigh-bourhood0.
Anyone with any information is asked to contact Sgt. Mike Noonan at 613-236-1222, ext. 3343, or Crime Stoppers at 613-233-8477.

As attempts to improve transportation in rural and suburban Ottawa continue to make headlines, the South Nepean Satellite Community Health Centre is looking for ways to increase its share of the pie.
Since opening its doors as a satellite location of Pinecrest-Queenway Community Health Centre in December 2009, those at the Strandherd Drive offi ce have quickly realized that access to transportation – particularly for youth – is the likely the biggest point of concern.
Through workshops at community centres and high schools in the Rideau-Goulbourn and Osgoode wards, and surveys completed by the Nepean Rideau Osgoode Com-munity Resource Centre and the University of Ottawa, the centre has received feedback from students saying they cannot work this summer because there are not enough jobs within biking distance and public transportation is not an alternative.
“It’s not that they don’t want to work,” said the centre’s health promoter Marisa Moher. “They can’t get to the em-ployment that they need to. We’re just at the stage where we’re listening to those pieces and trying to fi gure out if there is a response.”
Moher said the health centre has held monthly stake-holder meetings within the two wards to see if improve-ments can be addressed.

My hearing is important to me. Due to my reduced vision, I need all the hearing I can get. When I recently moved to Kanata I needed someone who could help with my overall hearing care. I was told to go to CapitalAudiology because of their reputation for good service. I was lucky to find them. After trying a few sets of hearing aids, an FM system and some amplified phones we settled on solutions that really worked for me. Thank you to Eric and Lori for spending all that time and goingbeyond my expectations.”

At Capital Audiology our focus is on counselling. We counsel patients about wonderful new products, butmore importantly, we discuss the realistic expectations and implications of hearing loss. Patient educationequals successful treatment of hearing loss.

The health centre also has regular dialogue with high school guidance counsellors and principals, she said.
“We need to see if there are some creative options around addressing the transportation issue that’s been an issue for far longer than we’ve been in the area,” Moher said.
“If you try and take an em-ployment program that works in the urban area and you try to move it into the rural area, it’s probably not going to work. The issues are really different. I re-ally think it’s a matter of mak-ing sure that the programming you’re developing is essentially built with rural in mind at every step.”
Moher said the cost of transportation has been the biggest detriment to the south Nepean centre. Since the non-profi t group typically applies for pro-gram funding, Moher said there have been certain
sessions that haven’t even started up because “the cost of the transportation would have basically eat-en up most of the money we were applying for.”
In the case of an organization setting up a pro-gram in urban Ottawa, all it needs
to do is cover the cost of bus tickets, Moher said. The south Nepean centre must rent buses and co-ordinate pickup and drop-off spots.
“It’s not that it’s impossible, but logistically, it becomes a re-ally different level of planning,” she said.
While Moher said the centre typically focuses its efforts on promoting workshops on men-tal and sexual health, transpor-tation has become a hot-button topic.
“That’s something that is of-ten outside of the scope of the
health and resource centre because it’s more of an infrastructure thing,” she said. “But it terms of how it impacts youth, it really affects their ability to be employed.”
Transit challenges make some programs unavailable
“It’s a matter of making sure that the programming you’re developing is essentially built with rural in mind at every step.”

A proposal to give ward coun-cillors more control over traffi c calming in their communities has left councillors divided.
From speed bumps to stop signs and turning restric-tions, traffi c calming measures are the concern communities bring to their councillors more than anything else… and the number of complaints is on the rise, according to a city report.
Whether it is a request for a new restriction, or a plea to remove one that is already in place, councillors face an up-hill battle through red tape if
they want to tackle the issue for their residents.
Innes Ward Coun. Rainer Bloess was the fi rst to sug-gest the city revise its process to give each councillor more control over making decisions about traffi c calming within their own wards.
The idea would put $30,000 into the hands of each council-lor each year to deal with local traffi c issues.
After a great deal of debate on the matter during a June 29 meeting, the city’s transporta-tion committee agreed to have staff look at that possibility.
“We’ve bogged ourselves down with red tape… and then when we get to it, we don’t have the money to get it done,” Bloess said. “Some of use are starting to say let’s untie that … process.”
But not everyone was on Bloess’s side. Several commit-tee members, including fi rst-
term councillors David Cher-nushenko (Capital), Katherine Hobbs (Kitchissippi) and Ma-thieu Fleury (Rideau-Vanier), didn’t think it was such a great idea to leave traffi c manage-ment issues in the hands of councillors.
Chernushenko said the change would add more “po-litical temptation” for council-lors to say “yes” to all commu-nity requests, regardless of the greater good.
“We already fi nd ourselves as an arbiter or referee. A process is useful; a rigor is useful,” he said. “I’m not – and I don’t ex-pect to become – a traffi c man-agement engineer.”
John Maconi, the city’s gen-eral manager of public works, said the intent of the changes would be to give councillors more control, but only if the is-sue is very localized to a neigh-bourhood within the ward.
“Larger (transportation) net-
work issues would be addressed at a higher level,” Manconi said, meaning city transpor-tation experts would have to study the larger ramifi cations of any changes.
Bloess said he was surprised that councillors were not will-ing to take on the extra account-ability of being responsible for local traffi c-calming solutions.
“I’m surprised that anyone would run away from mak-ing that decision in their own
ward,” Bloess said.That made sense to a few
councillors, including Kanata North’s Marianne Wilkinson, who said she has been told there is a 20-year waiting list for speed-bump requests.
Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans said the proposal makes sense in some ways, but wanted to send it back to city staff for “further refi nement” on a few issues.
“For me, part of the issue is that not every traffi c calming issue is a local ward issue,” Deans said. “The implications extend beyond the boundaries of the ward.”
The transportation commit-tee agreed with Deans’ concern and asked that city staff in-clude more information on the criteria for situations where a traffi c study is warranted and the ward councillor would not have the power to make the de-cision.

The City of Ottawa is preparing to open its wallet to rural groups willing to make a difference in the community.
Through its 2011 Rural Association Partnership program, the city is offering a maximum grant of $7,500 per project to not-for-profi t groups that found such events as fairs, farmers markets and business organization meetings in rural areas.
This is the second round of funding for the program, said rural affairs spokesper-son Adam Brown. The fi rst round closed in May with $31,314 of the $75,000 annual budget allocated to the following groups:
• Fitzroy Beef Farmers Co-operative Inc., $1,000.
• Cumberland Lions Club, $1,261.• Ottawa Carleton Plowmen’s Associa-
tion, $1,500.• North Gower Farmers Market, $1,975.• Metcalfe Agricultural Society, $3,078.
• Carp Agricultural Society, $7,500.• Osgoode Village Community Associa-
tion, $7,500.• Richmond Agricultural Society,
$7,500.In addition to being non-profi t, organi-
zations must have a publicly accountable structure with an active board of direc-tors that meets regularly, contribute to the economic development of Ottawa’s rural area and be based and have an on-going presence in rural Ottawa and ben-efi t the rural community.
Funding will be provided for an ap-proved project on a matching basis – 50 per cent.
Projects are to be completed by Dec. 31.
The deadline to apply for the grant is July 25 at 4 p.m. Applications must be re-ceived on the deadline date or postmarked on that day.

Necessity may be the mother of invention, but she also gives birth to business plans.
Cheikh Dicko is a 21-year-old Bar-rhaven university student. Last year, he ran smack into neccesity when his laptop died two days before his exams. He traced the problem to his battery charger and went to an electronics store to fi nd a replacement.
“I went to the store and it was $80,” he said. “I only had $30 so I couldn’t buy it.”
The laptop may have gone off, but the light bulb went on. Dicko realized many other computer users probably end up in the same situation.
He started his own business – Seber-atech – earlier this year, selling laptop chargers and accessories, mp3 cases and replacement parts, such as IPod screens for those who drop and break their gizmos. He sells his wares to
do-it-yourself fi xers and small repair shops and buys new inventory from importers.
The business got a boost when Dicko was selected to take part in the Ottawa Centre for Research and Innovation’s (OCRI) annual Summer Company pro-gram, which matches young entrepre-neurs with advisers and mentors. The program also supplies a little start-up cash.
“I applied, sub-mitted a business plan and was in-terviewed,” Dicko said of the summer program. “I had to learn cash fl ow and (OCRI) helped with marketing.”
Dicko started out aiming to sell new laptos, but he says the profi t margin is better in accessories and the competition in new laptops sales is fi erce. He said he’s averaging about fi ve sales a day. Customers are often government employees or students.
“They all need to use their laptop every day,” he said. “Usually it’s the
charger that breaks or the battery’s not working. People can’t wait (for spare parts).”
Dicko will attend the University of Ottawa’s business program this fall, and he plans to keep Seberatech run-ning part time, and hopes his fellow students may become customers in person or online.
“I learned how to sell on eBay; ecommerce is the future,” he said. “I
try to be organized; it saves time to be effi cient.”
OCRI has ensured all 29 entrepreneurs participating in the program have re-ceived advice and support. Dicko said he’s worked closely with a mentor, a lawyer and a bank adviser, and it’s clear he’s already learned the power of networking.
“We all meet every two weeks, and we get to talk with the other people in program,” Dicko said. “One (partici-pant) is going to do my website and I sold him an IPod case.”

THIS
Deprivation is not my idea of my vacation,” a neighbour said fl atly when I asked if she’d like to join us for a camping week-
end in Gatineau Park.I was sympathetic. After all, sleeping
on the hard ground, often in the cold, kids wetting their sleeping bags after one too many marshmallows, black fl ies swarming around, in and under hair, having to run through the woods to get to an outhouse that smells like a pig barn. What’s to love?
And after a week of running around gathering dry food for the occasion, not-quite meeting deadlines, and pur-chasing oversized bathing suits (ugh), I wasn’t sure I wanted to go either. Not to mention the fact that my husband, who’s normally pretty well behaved, had been drowning our broken dining tent in French-Catholic blasphemy all week long.
“Maybe we shouldn’t go,” I ventured, as my spouse said something about Holy Communion, which I deemed to be out of place in the conversation. “Maybe it’s too much work. Maybe we should just stay here and go for a picnic one day.”
But he insisted. I could see in his eyes the look that said, “if we don’t go, you’ll
spend the whole weekend on your com-puter and you’ll be utterly miserable by the end and you’ll blame everyone else for your misery.” True.
Because, for me, well, there’s just something about camping.
“It’s the only time I can truly relax,” said a friend of ours one weekend around the campfi re. He’s a renovations contractor who built his own house ten years ago. Like the gardener’s garden, his house is never truly fi nished, and he spends all his spare time throughout the winter putting trim on windows and caulking the sink.
I totally get it. At home, regardless of whether you “work” there or not, and there’s always something to be done. But when you’re camping, well, there’s the ability to just relax and shut out the
world. No housework, no phone calls, no emails, no clocks. We wake up with the birds and take the day at the pace that works. We eat when we’re hungry and nap when we’re sleepy. In between, we swim and hike and read and play ball. Sounds glorious, doesn’t it?
I know what you’re thinking: But what if it rains? What if one of the kids drinks wonky lake water and has diar-rhea? What if a tick bites me and I get Lyme disease?
I can assure you that the latter two have never happened. And rain? Well, sometimes it rains.
Last Labour Day weekend, for ex-ample, we decided to tempt fate and the weather man and head out for four nights to Lac Philippe. Friends that were meant to join us dared not brave the stormy forecast. But annual tradi-tion – the fact that my husband and I had fi rst met there nine years earlier on Labour Day Weekend-- dictated that we go, regardless of the weather.
The fi rst two days, in fact, we had glo-rious sunshine and an empty beach to ourselves. We walked through the lovely artisan town of Wakefi eld, took in some live music by local folk singer Lindsay Ferguson at the market, and stopped
by the tiny library to pick up a stack of used magazines in the foyer. The next two days, it was pretty much constant downpour.
Not to have our spirits dampened, we decided to make the most of it.
While my beloved husband and chil-dren hooked worms onto fi shing rods, I kicked back in my zero gravity chair in the dining tent and read archival copies of Harrowsmith Country Life Magazine. It’s one of the only times I can remem-ber that I hadn’t a care in the world. And you know what? They were two of the happiest days of my life.

The deprivation vacation
With a report to city council last week outlining the implementation of the proposed light rail transit project, an idea that has been little more than
a series of a conceptual drawings and dense reports for the past six years moved perceptibly closer to becoming reality.
While the new proposal for the downtown tunnel section of the LRT raises several ques-tions, such as why wasn’t the shallower Queen Street route considered all along if it is indeed the best option, what this report signifi es is that mass transit in Ottawa will be taking a big step forward by 2018.
As with the expansion of the existing O-Train system announced late last month, the accep-tance of a realistic LRT plan by city council will see Ottawa move closer to the standard of transit enjoyed by residents of other North American cities of similar size.
But we cannot afford to stand back and ad-mire these achievements, as impressive as they might be.
According to the report, transit ridership is expected to increase by 64 per cent by 2031,
based on population and employment growth of 30 per cent during the same period. That growth will see 18,000 people per direction fl owing through the downtown core during peak hours.
The Tunney’s Pasture to Blair Road light rail system will presumably accommodate that growth, but with a signifi cant portion of the trips passing through downtown originating in places like Kanata, Barrhaven and Orleans, the path to reducing traffi c congestion beyond Al-bert and Slater streets does not end with a 12.5 kilometre system.
City council must begin the process of inves-tigating how the rest of the city can effi ciently be incorporated into Ottawa’s fl edgling rail system sooner, not later. There are options that deserve serious consideration from our elected offi cials, such as commuter rail and interpro-vincial links. Another delay similar to the past six years of indecision and doubt cannot be repeated.
The loyal commuters who contribute to Ot-tawa having among the highest transit ridership rates per capita in North America deserve no less.

The City of Ottawa will borrow $200 million to help cover the cost of proj-ects in the coming year.
Approved at the July 7 debenture committee meeting, the borrowing means the city’s total debt has risen to nearly $1 billion.
The debenture committee was set up in January 2010 to issue deben-tures, which are similar to bonds. The
debentures have been issued as two separate tranches, the fi rst valued at $150 million with a 31-year term and a second worth $50 million, which has been issued for a 15-year term.
Some of the money will be used to:• Buy 226 buses and expand the sew-
er network in multiple locations.• Complete the Strandherd-Arm-
strong bridge.• Extend Strandherd Drive in Bar-
rhaven eastward to Prince of Wales
Drive and the new Strandherd-Arm-strong bridge.
• Four-lane Prince of Wales Drive between Strandherd and Woodroffe Avenue.
• Rehabilitate bridges at Green’s Creek, Bank Street south, Bronson Av-enue over the canal, and Heron Road over the Rideau River.
• Build the Albion Heatherington Community Centre and a rec centre in northern Kanata.

The Manotick Legion is looking for volunteers as it prepares to host the 2011 Legion National Track and Field Cham-pionship in August.
The event – which became the offi cial under-17 and under-15 Canadian cham-pionship four years ago – will run from Aug. 3 to 7 at the Terry Fox Athletic Fa-cility at Mooney’s Bay.
Westboro Legion member and meet volunteer co-ordinator Doug Cody said he is looking for people to assist with the training, sightseeing, dinner and compe-tition portions of the championship. He is also looking for people to help with se-curity and tent setup.
Cody said he has put the call out to Le-gionnaires from other branches.
“You get a group of people who are interested in making the event happen and draw upon them from wherever they are,” he said.
The championships started nearly 60 years ago, fi rst beginning as a pre-Olym-pic training event for athletes.
It became the national championship in 1976.
Canada Legion senior program offi cer Danny Martin said at least 800 athletes
are expected at the meet with a mini-mum of 20 per province and a maximum of 44.
“The good thing about this is, it’s al-ways going to be a national champion-ship in the true sense of the word be-cause every province is represented,” Martin said.
He added that the Legion, in conjunc-ture with Ottawa Lions track club, pays to fl y the athletes in and provides food and accommodations at the University of Ottawa.
This is second straight year the cham-pionships have been held in Ottawa.
For the Legion, having the event in Ot-tawa means the banquet can be housed at the National War Museum.
“It’s instructional and remembrance orientated as well,” Martin said, adding that they held a ceremony for the 65th an-niversary of the liberation of Holland last year.
Local athletes must qualify for the event at the provincial championships in Chatham, Ont., this weekend. Open ath-letes who are unable to make provincial Legion team can participate in the na-tional championship for a fee.
Anyone interested in volunteering with the championships can contract Cody at [email protected].

The ByWard Market is Good For Your HealthKatherine Solomon - ByWard Market BIA
Summer months in Ottawa are precious and few. As we bask in the sunshine and take in the joys of summer - BBQ’s, festivals, and so many get-togethers - it’s easy to lose ourselves in the good company, food, and drink. It’s also easy to get off track with our fi tness routines and healthy eating habits.While you are enjoying the festivities of the summer, the ByWard Market has what you need to stay in good form – at some great prices. Just ask Roxanne Joly, director and yoga teacher at Upward Dog Yoga Centre on Dalhousie. “This summer we are offering $10 classes when you sign up for the Summer Special,” says Joly. “Yoga has overall health benefi ts, and we offer a relaxed atmosphere and great community support.” With student discounts available and the Summer Special, there is no reason not to get started right now.Free Form Fitness on Dalhousie is also promoting special pricing designed to keep you and your buddy fi t: purchase a training package with a friend and save $10. “You get better results when you have a buddy system,” says Rob Lagana, chief operations offi cer and member of the International Federation of Body Building. Free Form Fitness tailors packages to your needs, desired outcomes, and nutritional requirements (and they can cater to all levels of vegetarianism too!).Lagana stresses the importance of eating well and staying hydrated during the summer months to complement your exercise routine. “Carry a water bottle with you,” says Lagana. “The sun can dehydrate you quickly even if you are walking about. Also, stay away from sugary drinks, caffeine, and alcohol too.”
But what about nutrition? Striking the right balance between taste and nutritional value can be diffi cult to achieve if you don’t know where to start. Market Organics on York Street can get you started off properly. Lauren Hart, Market Organics Creative Manager, explains smaller portions eaten throughout the day can maintain proper blood sugar levels and help stave off that hungry feeling that can cause overeating. “I pack little snacks to eat throughout the day, like trail mix with a little bit of dark chocolate, some fresh fruit, and some coconut water,” says Hart. Blue Monky, a coconut water drink available for $2.29, is easy for the body to digest and helps replenish electrolytes lost during the hot summer days without adding processed sugars and artifi cial colours. You should also take advantage of all the local produce while its available. “Most of our products are local,” says Hart. “Over 95 per cent of our produce is locally grown.”Steve Mitton, Murray’s Market chef and owner, boasts a similar story for the cheese, butchered meats, and other fi ne products you can feast on at home or at one of their tables. Every staff member is knowledgeable on the farms from where your meals come, not the factories from where other places get their cuts of meat. “Shop with a local conscience,” Mitton says. “We grind all our own sausages in-house. We do all our own butchering rather than have pre-cut pieces delivered to our shop. Our product is brought in on the farmer’s back!”With so many options available to you in the ByWard Market to make sure you don’t stray too far from your fi tness routine, there is no excuse to not make healthy choices.

The Kitching brothers’ sum-mer vacation has taken a little twist.
Jeff and Frank Kitching have decided to take a canoe across the country to raise awareness and funds for amyotrophic lat-eral sclerosis (ALS) research.
The pair lost their father Wayne to the disease in 2008.
The portage idea, Frank said, came from a story about an Irish man who bet that he could travel around the country with a bar fridge. The two had been thinking about a way to honour their father in the years since he passed and the concept seemed to fi t.
“But we fi gured a canoe was more Canadian,” Frank said.
It is possibly the longest por-tage in history.
Jeff said it was a kind of por-tage, but they were cheating.
“We are using people’s cars and we don’t want the canoe to touch the water anywhere but in the Atlantic and Pacifi c oceans,” he said.
Frank, a project manager with Nepean-based International Safety Research, was thankful to
his company for giving him the time off to have this adventure and honour his father’s memory.
“They have been very gener-ous,” he said.
Kitching even visited his work with a pit stop at the Colonnade Road offi ce on July 11 for a fund-raising barbecue.
In the months leading up the trip, developed the website, blog, Twitter and Facebook page to promote their cause.
“I also contacted all of the provincial ALS Societies to let them know what we were doing and we attended local ALS walks in Ottawa and Sudbury prior to leaving,” the Kanata resident said.
Jeff was responsible for book-ing the campsites and hunting down rides for the brothers and their canoe during the month-long odyssey.
ALS – also known as Lou Geh-rig’s disease – is a degenerative disease that slowly paralyzes the patient as the brain loses the ability to control muscles. Ac-cording to the ALS Society of Canada, of those diagnosed with ALS, 80 per cent die within two to fi ve years, unable to breathe or swallow.
Approximately 2,500 to 3,000
people are currently living with ALS in Canada.
The canoe is dubbed 42 Canoe because the departure marks the 42nd month since their father’s death. Also, Frank was 42 when his father died and Jeff is cur-rently 42.
Jeff, a teacher from Edmonton, said that the trip has been going about as expected.
July 4 was a long day, with the pair having to hitchhike after their ferry ride to Nova Scotia from Newfoundland.
“We were lucky and got a cou-ple of rides,” Jeff said.
One kind soul gave the broth-
ers a ride to the larger highway with the canoe and another per-son ferried them and their stuff all the way from Baddeck, N.S. to Halifax – a 351-kilometre drive.
As they make their way across the country, people are encour-aged to make donations, which Frank said will either go to their provincial ALS societies that help families and people living with ALS, or to the national branch, which directs funds to research.
The white canoe will return layered in purple writing at the end of the trip with sponsors and volunteers signing it along
the way. The tour will end in Victoria
on July 31 – a day before what would have been their father’s birthday.
Jeff said the brothers planned to stay an extra day to toast their dad.

Walking along the Rideau River from Eccolands Park just south of the airport, the untrained eye may not notice anything unusual. But to the Gloucester Water Ski Associa-tion, that stretch of calm water – divided by a series of bright-ly-coloured balls and markers – is home to 40 years of thrilling jaunts through the area’s oldest slalom water ski course.
“It’s very hard to get a sla-lom course installed in a body of water, and it’s a bit rare to have a club that’s run as long as this,” said director David Willis, who has been involved in the club for about 20 of its 40 years.
Founded by the father of Ottawa’s own world water ski champion and Canada’s only Olympic medal-winning water skier Pat Messner, the now city-owned parkland hosts a modest boat launch and dock near the slalom course that still attracts skiers from all skill levels to the club.
At one time, some of Cana-
da’s top skiers frequented the site, but now it is more of a rec-reational club, especially with a private training centre down the river near Greely.
The course is high calibre, however, and hosted the wa-ter ski portion of the Ontario Summer Games when the event came to Ottawa in 2008.
The club also shares its course with Pat Messner her-self, who coaches members of Canada’s adapted ski team which competes at the Paralym-pics and other competitions for athletes with disabilities. Team member Jennifer Cloutier uses the course to train.
The club’s skiers, no matter the skill level, certainly pos-sess a high level of clout. Even on an unseasonably chilly and incredibly windy June day, Willis and fellow club member Olivia Nixon jumped fearlessly into the water to take on the course.
Using a single ski like a snowboard, Nixon carved her way through the fl oating mark-ers much like a snow skier cut-ting around a series of fl ags. Nixon said she’s been water
skiing since Grade 3, but only started doing slalom two years ago when she joined the club.
The association used to have a jump in the middle of the course – in fact, it’s still marked on many maps of the Rideau River – but it was too expensive to maintain when few members
were still using it. “It was about 15 to 20 per
cent of our budget, and only 3 to 5 per cent of our use,” he explained, noting that the club operates on annual member fees as well as per-minute us-age fees to account for high gas prices combined with their gas-guzzling speed boat.
But the lack of a jump doesn’t mean club members aren’t still seeking the adrenaline rush of a good run.
While out for a tour with Nixon and long-time found-ing member Brian Schacht at the wheel, Willis decided to at-tempt some barefoot skiing, a sport that hurts as much as it sounds – especially when you don’t bring the proper outfi t.
“I’m crazy for doing this with-out a wet suit,” Willis laughed as he jumped into the water with nothing but swim trunks for protection against the razor sharp spray and concrete-like surface of the water.
At 25 miles (40 kilometres) an hour, Willis used a metal boom sticking horizontally out of the side of their custom-designed speed boat as a handle, so he was right beside the boat. He started with his feet wrapped around the cables mounting the boom to the boat, and once the boat was up to speed he at-tempted to put his feet down and balance on the water. After a few unsuccessful attempts, he fi nally did it – much to the chagrin of his back and feet,
which started to bruise almost immediately after he got out of the water.
The boom is also useful for helping beginners because it sets them up beside the boat where they can be coached on technique and strategies for staying upright. Nixon’s two daughters are currently learn-ing this way, and Willis said about a third of their annual membership is made up of newcomers.
Although the club is thriving, Willis said there are increasing challenges as Ottawa spreads southward toward Riverside South and Barrhaven.
“With more people in the area the river gets busier. For-ty years ago there was nobody here, it was more quiet. Now there’s more boat traffi c and it gets a little more challenging,” he said, noting that residents in the area are generally very supportive of the site.
The ski season runs from June to August, although they ski in May and September, too. Skiers can be seen tackling the course Monday and Wednesday nights as well as weekends.

The federal government’s re-cent job cuts in the public ser-vice meant to slash the national defi cit could have a drastic ef-fect on Ottawa’s local economy – both good and bad.
Last month, the federal gov-ernment announced that 687 jobs will be cut from the Public Works department over the next three years, 81 per cent of which
will be lost in the national capi-tal region, to save $98.2 million in operating costs. Other cuts were announced in 12 other fed-eral organizations as part of an ongoing strategic review to cut $2.6 billion in ineffi ciencies over three years, including about 275 jobs at the Fisheries and Oceans Canada, 50 science and research jobs at Environment Canada and 5 curatorial positions at the National Gallery in downtown Ottawa.
These cuts and others coming in the future could have nega-tive economic impacts on the re-gion, including lower consumer confi dence, explained economist Alan Arcand, who works for the Conference Board of Canada, a national think tank.
“The direct impact, of course, is slower and weaker growth in the public sector,” Arcand said. “But an indirect impact is also weaker consumer spending. People are nervous about their
jobs and they’re going to be less likely to make big spending deci-sions. You’ll probably see slower growth or weakness in the city’s housing sector, too.”
Larry Rousseau, national capi-tal region president for the Public Service Alliance of Canada, said cutting this many jobs is poorly timed given the shaky economy, and agreed the cuts could have major repercussions for Ottawa’s local economy in the short-term.
“When there is uncertainty
in the economy, who’s going to want to upgrade their house? Who’s going to want to go out and buy that next thing they were thinking about? Well guess what, they’re going to put that on hold,” he said. “What we’re saying is now is not the time to have that kind of uncertainty. It can have a chain reaction, and the business community should be very concerned.”

Ontario commmuni-ties are spending un-precedented time and money on how to pay
for fi xes to our crumbling infra-structure, the roads, water sys-tems, schools and other public buildings that underpin daily life.
Funds are in short supply to repair, upgrade or rebuild ag-ing facilities, despite billions of dollars in stimulus funds in the last few years. From the Ottawa region to Metro Toronto to the near north, the pressure comes at a time when many communi-ties are already experiencing budget problems.
Ottawa’s public infrastruc-ture assets are valued at $14 billion. Those assets depreci-ate at a rate of over $200 mil-lion per year. Council has allocated about $30 million for infrastructure renewal in 2011. The city says it should be spending more than twice that amount for repair and re-placement but doesn’t have the funds.
And although Ontario and federal funding will continue, exactly how these programs will be run is not yet clear. NDP
Leader Jack Layton and other opposition politicians say they worry the senior, cash-strapped governments will place a lower priority on municipal infra-structure now.
By the province’s own es-timates, there is $100 billion worth of unrepaired or unbuilt infrastructure in Ontario, with no funds available to fi x or build it. That infrastructure gap can be seen more clearly every day in roadway sinkholes, fl ooded storm systems and deteriorat-ing public buildings.
Ontario communities are struggling without success to meet their infrastructure needs, despite several years of
stimulus funding. While the $3.4-billion infrastructure pro-gram created jobs and helped kick-start the economy, even Ontario Infrastructure Minis-ter Bob Chiarelli concedes the stimulus programs made only a “dent.”
“I think it will be a long time before it will be easy, but collec-tively, we need to do it smarter,” Chiarelli acknowledged.
A Metroland Special Report shows Ontario communities increasingly are borrowing and going into debt – some for the fi rst time in decades – to deal with a worsening situation. Long-term needs are over-whelming.
Just last week, the City of Ottawa decided to borrow $200 million for capital projects.
Metroland surveyed munici-palities for data on everything from the amount of money re-ceived from the federal govern-ment and Queen’s Park to long-term infrastructure needs. (See chart.)
More than half have intro-duced a tax or levy specifi cally to help pay for infrastructure proj-ects (Ottawa introduced such a levy in 2006 but abandoned it by the third year, which happened to be an election year);
More than half measure their expected capital costs over the next decade in billions of dol-

lars, including York at $8 billion by 2020 (fi gures for Ottawa were unavailable because the city’s long-range fi nancial plan was up for review this year, but the capital portion was delayed);
Three-quarters report they are currently short at least $160 million for future infrastruc-ture repairs and upgrades;
Mississauga, which hasn’t had to borrow since 1978, proj-ects $446 million in debt over the next 10 years. Brampton, debt free at the moment, ex-pects to start incurring debt as early as 2012;
Almost half are carrying debt loads in excess of $600 per resident.

A METROLAND MEDIA SPECIAL REPORT
If Ontario was your house, it would be on the verge of falling apart. The roof needs reshingling, the electrical system is ailing and the furnace is on its last legs. Forget about the fact the bathroom hasn’t been redone since the 1970s. You’ve taken loans and are maxing out credit cards to pay for just part of what needs to be done. A Metroland Special Report shows that’s the situation for Ontario municipalities as they struggle to fi x our crumbling infrastructure – the roads, buildings, water and sewer systems that underpin our daily life.
The First in a Three-Part SeriesHow to fi x our crumbling infrastructure
Recent Infrastructure Spending
Provincewide spending on 1,400 municipal projects from all three levels of government totalled about $3.4 billion over the last two years.
This included the $1.85 bil-lion (split between Ontario and Ottawa) doled out in On-tario through the Infrastruc-ture Stimulus Fund (ISF). Other investments included $408 mil-lion through the Communities Component of the Building Canada Fund and the Recre-ational Infrastructure Canada (RINC) fund that allowed for $500 million of renovations at hockey arenas and other rec-reational facilities across the country.

The consequences are signifi -cant.
In Wainfl eet, more than 1,000 homes are entering the sixth year of a boil water advisory after Niagara Region decided against the $120-million cost of connecting the community to Port Colborne’s water system;
To close the local infrastruc-ture gap, every Toronto resident would have to pay more than $1,000 extra on their property tax bill. In Prince Edward County and in Perth, the fi gure is closer to $2,000;
In Hamilton, roads that are supposed to be resurfaced with-in 35 years are now on a 110-year cycle;
Sinkholes are more common, opening huge gaps in roadways when broken underground pipes collapse or the surface gives out;
Severe weather and crumbling storm systems make certain old-er neighbourhoods across On-tario more vulnerable to base-ment fl ooding;
In Durham, traffi c on a badly deteriorating heritage bridge has been curtailed until the $800,000 in required funding is found;

cessible.Part of the problem is that re-

“The stimulus (program) was to create jobs, not to spend mon-ey where we needed,” he said. “Our infrastructure is in very dire straits and we need to act urgently.”
The balance of Ontario’s infra-structure is now of an age where it needs replacement or repair. About 60 per cent of buildings, roads, water and other systems are more than 50 years old. Al-most a third of the province’s infrastructure is more than 90 years old.
Guelph is a good example of what that means. About 40 per cent of the city’s $1.3 billion worth of infrastructure is at the end of its life cycle now.
Almost every community has a Centennial building of some kind, a library or an arena, built in a massive construction boom during Canada’s 1967 celebra-tions. About 2,500 such build-ings are now in need of – but not funded for – repairs.
“There are really harsh, stark realities coming soon,” said Pat Vanini, executive director of the Association of Municipalities of Ontario.
A METROLAND MEDIA SPECIAL REPORT
LAURA MUELLER
In the last term of council, the City of Ottawa did attempt to take action regarding its growing infrastructure debt – but it didn’t last. Council imposed a levy in 2006 that would add money to a reserve fund dedicated to tackling infrastructure renewal. At a two per cent increase over and above property tax increases each year, the additional fee didn’t last.
“We stayed true to our prin-ciples for one year, and by the second year we had watered it down and by the third year we abandoned that principle,” said Innes Ward Coun. Rainer Bloess, who championed an attempt to reintroduce the levy in the fi nal year of the last council’s term.
After the fi rst year it was slashed to one per cent, and by the third year of the term – with another election approaching – the levy was axed entirely.
“If bridges are falling down or roads are crumbling, what does it take to fi x them?” Bloess said. “We know that if you don’t in-vest in your infrastructure at the right time – in maintaining infra-structure – you are going to pay way more down the line.”
The city’s approach is to do only what it can afford – and that’s the wrong answer, Bloess said.
“Affordability is obviously an issue,” he said. “But the real issue should be: What do you need to do to maintain your infrastructure? What is it going to cost you?”
Bloess said he doesn’t think this new council has the appe-tite to approach infrastructure renewal that way, but the debate still needs to happen.
That debate may take place in the fall, when city councillors will discuss a long-range fi nan-cial plan, including a plan for city-funded capital projects. The report was supposed to be done by late spring, but it’s taking longer to identify exactly what Ottawa’s needs are for capital in-frastructure.
The city’s last long-range fi -nancial plan, which ended this year, stated: “It is imperative that a strategy be developed that will ensure that our assets are protected and maintained at the lowest long-term cost to our tax-payers.”
On average, Ottawa spends about 35 per cent of what it should be spending on infra-structure renewal.

The stress isn’t just on peo-ple’s pocketbooks, either. Rous-seau said the most immediate local impact is increased stress from lack of information.
“There’s a heightened state of stress among public ser-vants, because we just don’t know exactly who or where will be cut next. We just know the cuts are being announced. It looks as if it will simply be a slow and steady death by a thousand cuts,” he said, noting that it’s not just PSAC union employees who are suffering, or term workers who face being cut once their contract expires.
“It’s managers as well who have to deal with these situa-tions, so it’s quite generalized, it’s not just a union or a man-agement thing.”
PSAC represents 55,000 pub-lic servants in the national cap-ital region, including 100 of the Public Works employees who will be on the chopping block in the next three years.
Rousseau said the most wor-risome news so far has been the deletion of Auditing Services Canada, a fee-for-service inter-nal offi ce that provided spot checks and audits for public
contracts, because it gets rid of a non-partisan oversight.
“This was an internal mecha-nism we could count on that au-ditors were doing spot checks to make sure contracts were be-ing awarded following the rules and at least raise the fl ag. The Conservatives saw that this was a loophole for the opposi-
tion parties to get information, and they said, ‘If someone can do an access to information re-quest and get the information that way, we don’t want that.’ This government is about con-trol of information,” Rousseau said.
However, chartered accoun-tant and Carleton University professor Garth Sheriff said private auditing is unlikely to get sucked into providing par-tisan or biased audits, because the chartered accountant in-dustry is so strictly regulated.
“We have absolutely the strictest independence rules on the Earth. If an external audi-tor came in and had any intent to help further a cause, they would be fi ned and severely reprimanded. They have zero tolerance for bias,” he said, not-ing that the biggest risk in get-ting rid of the public auditing service is that the government may not be as diligent in doing spot checks.
“If they cut a pretty good sys-tem from maintaining control, and if they don’t go out and do what they were doing before, then maybe you’re losing some of that stewardship and ac-countability that Accounting Services Canada provided,” he
said. The good news, Sheriff said,
is that Ottawa hosts a large number of small and mid-sized auditing fi rms that can poten-tially benefi t from the raft of auditing that will need to be completed outside the govern-ment.
“If they do go out and put out requests for proposals, that should have an impact with smaller, mid-size fi rms in Ot-tawa,” he said.
Arcand noted that even with
the many cuts planned for the future to reduce the defi cit, the public service will still be larg-er than it was a decade ago. He said a more pressing concern for the national capital region is the risk of becoming a one-industry town.
“We have the high-tech sec-tor, which is another big indus-try, and it can help offset. But this is the kind of issue that you get when you have a city that depends on one industry,” he said.

Simon Cowell, the acerbic former American Idol judge, might not be appearing at the Carlingwood Shopping Centre this summer, but Eldon Fox said Ottawa residents will still catch a glimpse of the city’s tal-ent at Kiwanis Idol – a similar competition that’s meant to dis-cover local talent.
“There wasn’t really a local contest for anybody in Ottawa,” said Eldon Fox, the Kiwanis Idol organizer. “There was nothing for the kids to get on stage and show what they have.”
That’s why Fox created the competition eight years ago, which allows youth age 13 to 21 to show their music talent.
This summer, there will be a round of auditions held at the Carlingwood Shopping Centre where visitors will be able to see the performances.
“Last year we had it at city hall. For fi ve years it was in council chambers,” Fox said. “This year we decided to put it more into the public and get a bigger audience. It works out much better even for the judges and they get feedback from the
audience.”Fox admitted that out of the
100 to 200 people who audition, there are some who might not be the most talented singers.
However, he said judges often give advice to performers in-stead of being blunt.
“They tell them in a nice way to get a vocal coach, or get some
training,” Fox said. “It’s a help-ful process they go through.”
He added that some par-ticipants will keep trying and many re-enter themselves in the competition – some have even won.
Fox stressed that those who want to participate should prac-tice and remain dedicated in or-
der to win the competition.“A lot (of participants) think
they can practice at home for an hour,” he said. “Come pre-pared and make sure you know the song frontwards and back-wards.”
Fox said he wanted to intro-duce the contest because it’s a positive experience for young
people – and, a good opportu-nity for them to get noticed.
Some have even signed re-cord deals with major compa-nies like Sony and Universal.
“I think it’s a real good thing for the community and the kids,” Fox said. “It’s a real good step for them to get used to be-ing on stage.”
He said visitors to the Car-lingwood Shopping Centre will be surprised at how much tal-ent there is among Ottawa’s youth.
“We usually get the top in the city trying out,” said Fox.
The fi rst round of auditions for the 2011 Kiwanis Idol will take place July 16 and 17 and the second round will happen Aug. 13 and 14 at the Carling-wood Shopping Centre. The auditions run from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Audition forms are available at www.kiwanisidol.org which also has more information on the contest.
Winners and runners-up will get prizes sponsored by Blue Bear Sound Recording Studio.
The top winners will also be awarded $2,000 worth of studio time at Blue Bear Sound Stu-dios.

The Nepean Raiders will be without their top point-getter when they opening the 2011-12 Central Canada Hockey League (CCHL) season on Sept. 9.
Brent Norris, who led the Raiders with 41 goals, 34 assists and 75 points last sea-son, has decided to play for the Cedar Rapids (Iowa) RoughRiders of the United States Hockey League.
Norris, 18, has committed to enrol at Providence College in September 2012 and could have suited up for the Raiders for one more season.
He was a CCHL third-team all-star in
2010-11.The centreman missed the Raiders’
entire opening-round series against the Brockville Braves last season due to in-jury. Nepean lost the matchup in seven games.
The news of Norris’s southern depar-ture comes in conjuncture with that of Kanata Stallions’ Kyle Rankin.
The 18-year-old left-winger isn’t commit-ted to play for Princeton University until 2012-13, but has opted to play in the United States Hockey League for the Sioux Falls (South Dakota) Stampede instead.
The pair played together on the Ottawa Senators AAA minor midget team in 2008-09 before joining the CCHL.

Residents of the village of Kars like where they live, calling it clean, walkable, quiet and safe during a workshop held during the spring.
Some of the concerns identi-fi ed at the same meeting included piecemeal development north of the village, speeding cars and van-dalism in three hotspots, includ-ing the community centre.
The attendees also had some ideas for the future: seniors hous-ing, taking advantage of the vil-lage’s location on the banks of the Rideau River, and an improved pe-destrian pathway.
VISION
The meeting – hosted by a City of Ottawa village review team – was intended to get residents to think about the ideal future for their village. Comments will help form a secondary plan, the devel-opment blueprint for the village.
The full documents with all pub-lic comments can be found online at www.yourottawaregion.com/news/local/article/1039891--kars-residents-plan-future-of-village
Facilitators asked residents to
describe in a word or two, their ideal village, and then discussed strengths, weaknesses, opportu-nities and threats. During the ex-ercise residents placed coloured stickers on a map of the village to illustrate the location of these dif-ferent issues.
OPPORTUNITIES
Some residents’ ideas for the fu-ture included:
• Seniors housing at the former location of Kars public school.
• New housing at the former quarry site, west side of Rideau Valley Drive South.
• Opportunity for the city to buy property southwest of the marina, and enter into a joint venture with the village to co-develop some type of water recreational facility
The village review team will use the map and notes from the discus-sions to help recommend changes to land use designations for the village and may also recommend village specifi c policies if neces-sary.
The team is expected to report back in the fall with a draft vision statement, land use maps and vil-lage policies for the secondary plan.

Ottawa residents will have a chance to voice their views on the future of the city’s light rail before the council votes on the implementation of the re-cently revised project at a spe-cial meeting on July 14.
Last week, Mayor Jim Wat-son announced changes to the city’s proposed LRT plan to keep the project in line with the $2.1 billion budget.
The new plan would involve moving the proposed tunnel section one block to the north, running under Queen Street,
rather than beneath Albert Street. The depth of the tunnel would also be reduced, moving from the originally proposed depth of 12 storeys to four sto-reys, reducing both the cost and risk of the project.
“This makes more sense and it is cost effective,” said Wat-son.
According to Watson, going down 12 storeys would involve too many escalators, making the project problematic from both a safety and customer friendliness point of view.
“The plan released today proposes a new alignment and a more practical tunnel that makes a lot more sense,” Wat-son said in a statement. “The resulting product – the fi rst phase of our light rail transit system – will be a signifi cant improvement and it will be less costly than the previous plan.”
The change is the result of a city council directive to re-eval-uate the project and benefi tted from months of engineering evaluation that began late last year.
The new alignment, for the most part, will follow the Queen and Rideau Street right-of-way through the downtown, avoid-ing the need for deep tunneling under buildings and limiting the amount of money required to acquire subterranean rights, Watson said.
“I am determined with my council colleagues, to deliver light rail in a fi nancially sus-tainable manner,” Watson said.
The mayor noted the city is currently coping with a down-town transit bottleneck that sees transit grind to a halt dur-ing rush hour, a problem that will only get worse over time.
According to a city staff re-
port, transit ridership per cap-ita in Ottawa is already among the highest of any comparable city in North America, a trend that is likely to continue.
“Moving ahead with light rail saves money when m e a s u r e d against the a l t e r n at ive s of attempting to push more buses through the down-town, while also greatly i n c r e a s i n g capacity to a c c o m m o -date projected ridership increases,” Watson said.
Once light rail and the down-town tunnel are in place, the number of buses travelling
through the downtown core will be cut in half, taking at least 2,000 buses off downtown streets per day.
It is anticipated that LRT would also cut down on the
number of ve-hicles in the core, as many people will opt to use the more effi cient mode of transit.
When the project gets un-derway next, Watson said it would gen-erate close to 20,000 person hours of em-
ployment and $3 billion in re-lated economic activity during the construction period alone.
The city hopes to have the project completed by 2018.

Mayor unveils changes to downtown LRT tunnel plans

Ottawa’s furry friends were joined by some top dogs at the offi cial opening of the new Ottawa Humane Society building on West Hunt Club Road on July 6.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his wife Laureen, joined Ottawa West-Nepean MP John Baird for the offi cial opening of the new $12-million facility.
The 3,600-square-metre building replac-es the aging site on Champagne Avenue.
Humane society executive director Bruce Roney said the new building house sa three-season cat porch, an in-house vet clinic and the adoption centre.
The cages of old have been replaced with gleaming glass rooms with their own drainage, to make cleaning easier, and there are classrooms to accommodate obedience training sessions.
“This project is so important and long overdue for the animals and the commu-nity,” Roney said in a press release.
The funding for the facility came from the federal government’s infrastructure stimulus fund. The federal portion of the funding was $3.6 million.
“The Ottawa Humane Society plays an important role in our community,” Baird said. “This new facility will help the OHS continue to protect the welfare of Otta-wa’s animals.”
The building was constructed with en-vironmentally-friendly features such as passive solar heating and renewable con-struction materials.
OHS recently celebrated the building with their jail-or-bail style fundraiser called In the Dog House, which helped to raise $75,000. The funds were allocated to the charity’s groundbreaking campaign, aimed at paying off the building.

A new show at the Dale Smith Gallery offers visitors a chance to see a different side of parenthood.
The exhibit, which opened on July 8, is called Self Portrait and features the work of North Gower artist Karin Rabuka who examines what life as a parent is all about.
For Rabuka, a long time art-ist and now a mother of three boys under six, this new collec-tion was a natural choice for her
“The consistency in all my paintings is the love for paint-ing. But I have found that with
different subjects”Gallery owner Dale Smith
said the exhibit offers a per-spective on life that will have wide-ranging appeal.
“Karin’s work offers a view into domesticity that anyone can identify with,” Smith said.
Rabuka explained the series looks at all aspects of parent-hood and provides commen-tary on life in a small town.
Rabuka and her husband, Scott, chose to live in the North Gower area because of the strong sense of community and they love the amount of space their boys have to spread out and play.
This new series features small things, like a child’s toy,
or a playground, focusing on a particular aspect within that scene. Rabuka’s technique defi nitely aims to bring the sometimes mundane world of cleaning up toys or hanging out laundry into a whole new light. Rabuka chose to take a typical day as a mother and express her sense of belonging in the role of motherhood. She hoped these paintings portray a strong sense of the common frustrations and fl aws that are apart of the experience of be-ing a mother.
“I found I related to a lot of the subject matter, like with the toys. I felt the toys were perfect-ly set up in the roles I play as a mom,” Rabuka said.
She explained that in one piece called April Toys, she felt just like the Gumby doll, be-cause as a mother, she needs to be incredibly fl exible.
There are 11 paintings in the exhibit, nine titled as a differ-ent month.
Smith has known Rabuka for more than seven years and said this most recent collection shows how much Rabuka has grown as an artist.
“You have to keep changing your styles as an artist,” Smith explained. “I believe it is what makes you grow as an artist and become stronger.”
This is Rabuka’s fourth solo exhibition at the gallery.
Rabuka’s new series is much
different from her previous work, which included a series of expressionist paintings, landscapes and realism.
“One body of Karin’s work to the next is constantly chang-ing and can be completely dif-ferent from the next,” Smith added.
The change comes from Ra-buka’s constant desire to see an object or subject in a differ-ent light.
“I took a risk this time and turned the subject matter onto myself. I think I felt it was time I had something to say about myself,” she said.
The exhibit runs until July 30 at the Dale Smith Gallery, lo-cated at 137 Beechwood Ave.
Submitted photoKarin Rabuka and her three boys, Noah, left, Jesse and Kai fi ll their days with toys, playgrounds and everything else in between. Rabuka, an artist with a new exhibit at the DaleSmith Gallery took her day to day life with her boys and painted expressions of what she felt motherhood is all about.
