Two councillors want the city to take a stand on banning transport trucks from the King Edward Bridge, calling on council to push the National Capital Commission to ensure that a new crossing between Ottawa and Gatineau would be the main route for commercial traffi c.
Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury and Rideau-Rockcliffe Coun. Peter Clark are planning to bring a motion to city council asking the city to press the NCC to include that caveat in its approach to studying the possible location for a new bridge, which has been in the works for decades.
Right now, the NCC isn’t planning for a bridge that would take all of the truck traf-fi c off King Edward.
“It is going to ask that this interprovin-cial bridge study understand that the City of Ottawa’s position is that no non-local 18-wheel trucks should use King Edward,” Clark said.
The two councillors decided to push for the stand after attending some of the NCC’s recent “world café” consultations on the in-terprovincial crossing.
“It came to our attention that the NCC thinks that 40 per cent of the truck traffi c should still use King Edward, and that’s not solving the problem,” Clark said.
“The trucks going through the downtown are not acceptable,” added Fleury, whose ward includes King Edward Avenue and the surrounding Lowertown neighbour-hood. “We want whatever solution is for an interprovincial crossing to offer a solution for that, not to say ‘We’ll solve 40 per cent of the issue.’ We think it can solve 100 per cent of the issue.”
Fleury said transport trucks are reducing the quality of life for downtown residents.
“Having trucks going through our main streets offers so many challenges, not only from an air quality and traffi c-safety (point of view) to congestion, and we have tons of issues with buses running on time,” Fleury said.

Vanier is a community that is working hard to beautify its neighbourhood, but lately thefts of fl owers, hanging plants and bushes from properties in both Vanier and Overbrook are mar-ring those efforts.
Community Police Offi cer Marc Daviault is taking these thefts as seriously as any other reported thefts in the neigh-bourhood because he knows fi rsthand how hard the com-munities have been working to change their image.
“People are making it beauti-ful here and it is a shame other people are taking advantage of that,” Daviault said.
Daviault said there are also a lot of unreported incidences he has heard about from resi-dents.
He is urging people to report such thefts because the more reports he receives, the bet-ter case the offi cer can build. He asked that any resident to call in if they notice fl owers or plants missing.
“Report it anyway,” Daviault said. “If they are not being re-ported then we have don’t know
how big an issue this is becom-ing.”
For residents in Vanier, how-ever, they are not going to let these rounds of thefts stop them from beautifying their neighbourhoods.
“We are ‘planting forward’
and replacing with new ones – mostly perennials,” said Deb-bie St-Aubin, a member of the beautifi cation committee.
She indicated she and other residents are hopeful the prob-lem will die out soon.
On the weekend of May 28
Elaine Leger found that two large planters she had placed beside the benches at Richelieu Park were taken. For her, there was no real value to the plant-ers themselves, but she was dis-appointed when she noticed the thievery.
“These containers were re-cycled so had no value but brought beauty and joy to this little area and it was my way of giving back,” Leger said.
Overbrook Community Coun-cil president Sheila Perry said fl ower thefts are a problem that seems to arise every year, how-ever, this recent spat of thefts is concerning so she’ll send out a warning to residents.
“We all have to look out for each other,” Perry said.
Daviault agrees that the best chance of catching the thieves is by having neighbours look out for each other. The thefts, he noted, seem to be taking place during the night.
“Residents are going to sleep with their gardens fi ne and waking up to fl owers missing,” Daviault said.
Reports that the fl owers are being stolen by a landscaping company have not been con-fi rmed, however the best way to fi nd out who is doing this is for residents to keep their eyes out for suspicious trucks or vans or unknown individuals in their neighbourhoods.
If residents see anything of concern they are asked to call it in.
File PhotoCommunity Police Offi cer Const. Marc Daviault has received eight reports of fl ower thefts in Vanier and Overbrook. The thefts seem to happen at night and are very delicate with the removal of the fl owers.

The Vanier QV Outdoor Market will be kicking off their fourth year this week-end, boasting an even wider variety of food grown by local producers.
The farmers’ market, which is held in the open lot between Olmstead and Han-nah Streets opens on July 2 and is orga-nized by the Vanier Business Improve-ment Area, Quartier Vanier.
Suzanne Valiquet, the executive direc-tor of the BIA, said the market will fea-ture food from farmers throughout the Ottawa region. The new addition this year is the ability to buy everything from eggs, cheese, meat and vegetables.
“We wanted there to be a bigger wider variety,” Valiquet said.
There will also be home made baked goods, a petting farm and some vendors will be taking orders to pick up the follow-ing week. Another new addition is a cook-ff where a chef teams up with a farmer and cooks a series of different recipes to give customers new ideas about what can be created with the different items avail-able at the market.
Coming back for the third straight year is the master of ceremonies Larry Rous-seau. He said he loves that this particular market is not just about shopping for food, but about a fun family experience.
“We have various people who will come; we have artists, clowns, singers, jugglers,”
Rousseau said. “So families come with their kids. It’s not just going out to the market; it’s going out with your family to have fun. It almost looks like an old village square, with the different booths but also with some entertainment.”
For Rousseau, it is all about the commu-nity. He loves to sing, he loves to meet peo-ple and is pleased with how much the mar-ket has grown over the years. He added he loves the focus on locally grown food and the fact that even though it still retains a small town feel.
“It’s small enough and calm enough that it’s not the rush of the Byward market. People are taking their time, they bring the kids, they talk, they relax,” Rousseau said. And as a Sandy Hill resident, he fi nds the Vanier farmers’ market great because Sandy Hill residents can walk easily to it.
“Sandy Hill is actually in the municipal ward of Vanier-Rideau. So even though we have the river that separates us, what Vanier is doing with their improvement projects are they’re making Vanier attrac-tive to the surrounding areas,” Rousseau said. “For people in Sandy Hill, Vanier is just a 15-minute walk away and you might as well get some good, organically grown food from the market, and its fun.”
Valiquet cannot wait to have the market open for the summer.
“Montreal Road comes alive with this market,” she said.
The market opens on July 2 and runs ev-ery Saturday until Oct. 8.

A group of concerned heritage advocates are calling on the city to fi x its broken commemorative naming policy.
In the wake of several recent controversies, the city’s arts, heritage and culture advisory committee is asking city council to overhaul the process it uses to choose who to honour by nam-ing a road, park or building after a person.
Brian Barrett is one of a doz-en members of the public who sit on the committee to advise city councillors and staff about issues related to the area of their expertise. He started to become concerned about how the city was deciding which names to apply to city facilities last year, when the issue of renaming Wel-lington Street came up.
With that topic set to come back to city hall this fall, and in the wake of a controversial road renaming in Bells Corners and an outcry over a proposed name for the city archives, Barrett de-cided to lead the charge.
“All of us on the committee feel very strongly that city staff and council and have ignored the policy that they already have,” Barrett said. “It’s not that they don’t have a policy, it’s just that it’s not enforced and it can be wiped away at the whim of a councillor.”
College Coun. Rick Chiarelli said he went around the naming policy for Lloyd Francis Boule-vard in order to do more public consultation. The policy calls for 60 days, while the councillor drew the process out for about a year.
If the policy was enforced consistently, there wouldn’t be
much of a problem, Barrett said. The motion passed by the advi-sory committee recommends strengthening the enforcement of the existing policy, as well as some changes that would make the naming process more ro-bust.
Enforcement of the existing policy is something John Heney pleaded the advisory committee to push for.
Heney, the president of Friends of the City of Ottawa Archives, waited more than a year to hear back after he suggested a name for the new archives building, which was eventually rejected, and had a diffi cult time getting his hands on a copy of the nam-ing policy itself. The document is not posted on the city’s website.
“If you don’t follow your own procedures, your policy means nothing,” Heney said to the arts, heritage and culture advisory committee during its June 20 meeting.
The committee also had a few recommendations to improve the way streets, buildings and parks are named.
Part of the issue is that the commemorative naming com-mittee does not include members of the public, nor any history or heritage experts, Barrett said. The advisory committee would like to see heritage experts, the city archivist, representative from the Algonquins of Ontario and others added to the panel.
Names shouldn’t simply be “something thrown up on a street sign,” Barrett said, they should mean something.
Advisory committee motions are just advice, but Barrett hopes a member of the city’s communi-ty and protective services, such as chair Mark Taylor, will push for the change at city hall.

A newly formed city commit-tee got a slap on the wrist for holding a secret meeting.
In a report to city council on June 22, the city’s meetings in-vestigator chastised the elec-tions compliance audit commit-tee for holding a closed meeting in April on whether to delay a decision regarding a potential hearing to address former elec-toral candidate Richard Can-
nings’ accusations about Coun. Peter Clark’s election spending.
Cannings had accused the Rideau-Rockcliffe councillor of obtaining a costly phone list to canvass potential voters, which Cannings said was obtained from the federal Liberal party.
The committee eventually rejected Cannings’ request for an inquest, but not before going behind closed doors on April 18 to discuss if they should bow to Clark’s request for the pro-ceedings to be deferred because
he was out of town in the days leading up to the meeting.
But taking the meeting be-hind closed doors was the wrong thing to do, said Douglas Wallace, the city’s meetings in-vestigator.
“It is not an automatic right,” he told councillors during their June 22 meeting.
Wallace was asked to review the April 18 meeting after a complaint was fi led.
Although one committee member questioned the need
to go “in camera” and make part of the meeting private, his “well-intentioned question went unanswered,” Wallace wrote in his report, and the commit-tee went into a private session, away from public and media scrutiny.
According to Wallace, com-mittee members told him they asked for clarifi cation on the rules surrounding deferral from their legal counsel and discussed members’ availabil-ity for an additional meeting.
But the committee didn’t give a report on what happened in the closed session once the full meeting resumed – something that is required under the law. Still, Wallace said there is no ev-idence the committee “acted im-properly” behind closed doors – although the public could per-ceive it that way.
“The city has a good proce-dure and now we just need to ensure that fi lters through to the committees,” Wallace said.
The city clerk’s department confi rmed that members of the election compliance audit com-mittee have since had addition-al training on procedures.

Tired of fi ghting battles with developers, the Overbrook Community Council is staging a pre-emptive strike by craft-ing a community design plan to guide future growth in the area.
Disputes over the develop-ment at 127 Presland Rd., con-cerns over the future of the Ottawa Baseball Stadium and a pedestrian footbridge over the Queensway have left the coun-cil feeling that the best defence is a good offence.
“This community plan is so badly needed and hopefully it will help us not have to be in
reactive mode as we seem to be so often,” Sheila Perry, the council’s president, said.
The community plan is in its very early stages, with the council only recently estab-lishing a planning and devel-opment sub-committee led by council members Roy Hanna, Martine Joly, Scott Richardson and Jim Hurd. The group will be working toward an develop-ing an understanding of resi-dent concerns and aspirations for their east-end neighbour-hood. This process will be fol-lowed by the release of a draft, which will allow the commu-nity to provide feedback on the proposed plan.
“We are not looking at a
long document, but something reasonably good to build on,” Hanna said.
The last community design plan created for Overbrook was crafted in 1979.
The current round of com-munity design plans being cre-ated throughout the city are for areas that are directly linked to the light rail transit project.
For Overbrook, this initia-tive is an important one as development ramps up in the area.
“We need to keep a watchful eye,” Perry said.
A community design plan is used to provide guidance to the city regarding future develop-ment of an area, but the guide-
lines are only that – guidelines. When it comes to developing fu-ture plans in the city of Ottawa, the city follows an offi cial plan, which has long range planning policies. The city’s offi cial plan contains goals and policies that guide the future develop-ment regarding the entire city. Overbrook’s community plan will, in these circumstances, not hold the weight needed to be taken seriously just yet.
Perry acknowledges that the plans are just a new idea that needs shaping, but the fact that they are tackling this now is the most important piece to the Overbrook puzzle for her.
“We need to start some-where,” Perry said.

Liz Bradley fi nds that blogs and social networking are just some of the key components needed to help halt dog napping and puppy mills in Ottawa.
Bradley runs the Ottawa Dog Blog, which she started as a way to give back to the dog commu-nity and spread the word about puppy mills.
Bradley lives in Ottawa with her husband and “three little girls” – her dogs, Paddington, Corduroy and Wellington. She blogs about everything in the dog world from the best place to walk your dog, upcoming events and latest trends. Bradley also has found she can be the fi rst person a dog owner contacts when their companion goes missing.
“In the dog world, news trav-els fast. I fi nd if I tweet about a missing dog I get an immedi-ate response. The same goes for when I post a lost dog on my website,” she said.
While she jokes that she’s like the dog police, it may be very true. With over 3,000 followers on her Twitter account alone, Bradley has found social net-working to be the fastest way to fi nd a lost dog.
Being so well connected to the dog community, Bradley also notices trends. Some of them are worrying, like the recent in-crease in the number of missing dogs reported.
“It scares me and it is not a good trend. You hear about certain breeds being taken and then you hear another female is taken, it makes you think,” Bradley added.
She indicated that the dog napping seems to be happening right under the owners’ noses, as the dogs are taken from their backyards, like a recent dog nap-ping of a female Bernese moun-tain dog. In that case, the dog had been taken from the owner’s backyard. Bradley said she re-members a male of that same breed was stolen only a week before.
“It seems like a lot of think-ing and staking out is happen-ing; picking certain breeds. But they don’t know if they have been neutered or spayed or not and I worry about what happens when they steal a dog that is of no use to them,” she said.
Sharon McKeil runs the By-town Association for Rescued Kanines (BARK) with Nadine Marcotte. McKeil and Marcotte help fi nd homes for abandoned and rescued dogs. The two have also noticed dogs are typically stolen out of their backyards, something that is avoidable.
“We repeatedly tell people not to let their dogs outside un-attended – it is just too easy for dog nappers,” McKeil said.
It comes as no surprise to McKeil that the dogs reported stolen are pure breeds since it’s likely those who are stealing the dogs are looking for the easiest way to make a profi t.
When an owner has lost their dog, or suspects their dog has been stolen, there are not that many options for them to re-
trieve their pet. Bradley and McKeil both suggest hitting the pavement, talking to neighbours and tweeting about the incident is the most proactive way to fi nd a missing animal.
In the future Bradley would like to see an extension of her
blog to the streets, like neigh-bourhood watch for pets.
“It is awful you are left with the feeling you can’t trust any-one. Worrying about leaving your dog in the backyard, but we need to think prevention,” Bradley said.

Communication key in dog napping battle
From TRUCKS on page 1Lowertown resident Nathan Davis
knows about the impact fi rsthand. He has lived at Bruyère Street for three years and says the noise and vibra-tions from transports aren’t the only run-ins he has had with trucks.
Two years ago, Davis was crossing King Edward eastbound on his bicycle at the St. Andrew crossing when he was hit by a car – the direct result of a transport truck in the centre lane blocking the car’s view of oncoming traffi c, he says.
While Davis wasn’t seriously in-jured, he says it could have been
worse, and that pedestrian safety is an ongoing concern.
“My real issue is the speeding,” Davis says. “Trucks are just fl ying through over the speed limit,” he said, adding that many fast-moving trucks – and cars – have a tendency to run red lights on King Edward.
Marc Aubin, president of the King Edward Avenue Task Force said he was pleasantly surprised to hear Fleu-ry speak up on the issue, because the councillor’s position on a study from this spring aimed at reducing traffi c on King Edward Avenue was less than encouraging to Lowertown residents,
Aubin said.Aubin said community members
haven’t been consulted on this latest proposal to remove truck traffi c from the street, but he said it would be a positive step for the community. He thinks Fleury wants to help the com-munity, but said he and other task-force members would be open to shar-ing their years of experience on the issue.
Either Clark or Fleury will put for-ward a notice of motion at the next council meeting, so the motion itself would come up at the meeting after that.

New Edinburgh residents will likely feel a little safer when walking through their park thanks to posted signs advis-ing cyclists to stay off the paths that run alongside the Rideau River.
“It is great to see the signs on both the NCC and city run paths,” said Joan Ma-son, the New Edinburgh Community Alli-ance president.
Mason is referring to the fact that their little park by the river is split and is owned by both the city (around the fi eld house, playground and baseball diamond) and the NCC beyond the baseball diamond. The association approached both the city and the NCC to have signs erected keeping cyclists off the crushed stone path.
“It could be dangerous, so it is great to see the signs up,” Mason added.
City spokesperson Barre Campbell said the signs went up at the request of the as-sociation and are visible at both ends of
the crushed stone pathway. The pathway in question, on the NCC side, runs through a narrow and tree-covered area, making it diffi cult for pedestrians to watch for on-coming cyclists. New Edinburgh residents worried about the potential for collisions.
NCC spokesperson Jean Wolff said there is still more work that will be done in the upcoming months to Stanley Park and the pedestrian-only paths are just one piece of the larger plan.
“There is still more work to be done, including look-out points and benches,” Wolff explained.
The plans are all part of rejuvenating a park that in the late 1800s housed a railway and number of lumber mills along the riv-er. A study in the 1980s by the NCC found that much of the parkland was contami-nated and part had been used as a landfi ll, Wolff explained. The association has been a part of the consultation and planning of the landscaping project for the park from the beginning and, for Mason, to see the signs up is a step in the right direction.

Safety fi rst for park pathways
Dear Editor,I read your recent editorial “Dream
rink far from frugal” and want to make a few points in response.
There will always be those who take exception at the start of something new. The same was true with our new Conven-tion Centre. Today, many of those naysay-ers are singing the praises of that new facility and the benefi t it brings to our downtown core – benefi ts that go far be-yond the pure “dollars and cents” of the project.
Capital Pride and the City have worked out an arrangement that allows Pride to enjoy access to all other areas at city hall and, at the same time, permit construc-tion to proceed on the rink. We are look-ing forward to having the rink in opera-tion this year and as a focal point for New Years Eve festivities for years to come.
Also, there have been far too many times in recent years when our magnifi -cent canal was just not in skating condi-tion for much of the winter. The refriger-ated artifi cial ice of the Rink of Dreams will provide a measure of comfort in this regard and city staff has already been hearing from groups interested in using the rink area in winter and summer. So Marion Dewar Plaza will soon be a 12 month-a-year attraction.
It is great to see the Senators Founda-tion step up to the plate with $1 million. It is even better when you consider that Hockey Canada and other local busi-nesses will be a part of the effort and the Foundation will also be assisting commu-nity rinks across the city. We are a part of this project for an amount equal to 20 cents on the dollar and operating costs that are less than at any other artifi cial ice surface the City runs. It is a deal that makes “dollars and sense”.

After more than half a decade of mud-dling its way through the fi le, Ottawa city council made a positive fi rst step toward building an effective light rail
system last week.It might not have the same impact as the mas-
sive, multi-billion dollar light-rail transit plan that is slowly working its way through city hall, but the approval of a plan to purchase six new trains and construct a pair of passing sections on the north-south O-Train line puts the city on course to realize the benefi ts of a truly effective transit system.
Started as a pilot project back in 2001, the cur-rent O-Train line that runs from Bayview south to Greenboro has reached capacity. The introduc-tion of additional trains – the current system uses two – will drastically increase that capacity and will reduce the average wait time between trains from 15 to eight minutes. But for nearly $60 mil-lion, what a grown-up version of the O-Train will provide is a taste of the potential light rail has to improve transit in this city.
For many residents, transit can mean waiting in the heat or cold for a bus that will only get stuck amid the throng of other commuters clogging the streets.
For those with access to the O-Train, this invest-ment will mean a vastly improved experience, especially when trips on the Transitway become less enticing once construction on the east-west LRT grinds service through Hurdman Station to a halt.
The move also opens the door for future expan-sion of the north-south line. Transit Commission chairwoman Diane Deans has already asked city staffers to look at the feasibility of extending the O-Train as far south as the Leitrim park-and-ride, providing rail access to the growing community of Riverside South and the airport. The addition of new stops along the existing line is also being proposed by members of the community.
The expansion of the O-Train represents the fi rst real improvement to transit in Ottawa in re-cent years, and will mark the beginning of a light rail revolution in the nation’s capital.
On the right track
It is a winding road of logic that leads to the conclusion that there would have been no riots in Vancou-ver if people still smoked, but you
are patient people and the journey is an interesting one.
Begin with a series of observations. At the gym, a man gets dressed after his workout, steps out into the lobby and takes out his cellphone. Coming out of a concert, a couple pauses outside the door while both people draw cellphones out of their pockets. Sitting alone in a restaurant, a woman toys with her phone while she waits. In a car stopped at a light, a man furtively checks his phone.
Now, they may all have important calls to make, important messages to read, but what they are doing looks so much like smoking it’s spooky.
When people used to smoke, that’s when they did it – coming out of a place where smoking was forbidden, such as a church or concert hall, sitting in the car, waiting alone for someone. Now they use the phone in the same situation – as a reward, as something to pass the time, as something to disguise the fact that they have nothing to do.
Perhaps people don’t check their cellphones after sex, another stereotypi-
cal cigarette moment, but these days you can never be too sure.
Another classic cigarette moment that can’t be replicated with the cellphone is the act of picking up the phone. A lot of people used to light up when making a call. Picking up the phone while pick-ing up the phone doesn’t make a lot of sense, although you wouldn’t put it past some people.
With this incontrovertible evidence at hand, do we make the logical leap and blame the decline of the cigarette for the rise of the cellphone? Of course. Remember the Law of Unintended Con-sequences? It’s obviously at work here. We got rid, for the most part, of a habit that caused death and disease, both to practitioners and innocent bystanders. We rid our indoor spaces, not to mention our clothes, of vile smells and unbreath-
able air. So that was all good.Our reward was the outbreak of
another vice, less fatal and less smelly, but with social implications we are only now beginning to measure.
Short attention spans, people seem-ingly talking to themselves on buses, customized ringtones interrupting plays and concerts, some very weird driving – we are familiar with all of these and the consequences are no mystery.
We know far less about the conse-quences of everyone carrying a cam-era in their telephone. Thanks to the telephone camera, more people than ever before take photos. How does it affect people’s behaviour knowing that just about every person they meet is a photographer?
Well, for many people, not enough. Celebrities seem to indulge in just as many colourful activities as before, their lapses in judgment captured by amateur cellphone paparazzi. People sleep on the job, drive and text while cellphone vigilantes point and click.
So the cellphone camera seems to be no deterrent to bad behaviour. The ques-tion raised by the Vancouver riots is whether the cellphone camera actually encourages that behaviour.
To watch the proceedings on live TV,
you would certainly think so. Thug after thug, idiot after idiot jumped in front of the cameras to set something on fi re, break a window or just stand on a burn-ing car and yell.
Some strange quest for immortality may have been at play here. Who knows? What we do know, or at least suspect, is that the yahoos would not have been so enthusiastic had they not had a big audi-ence. And the audience might have gone home, making the situation much more manageable, if they hadn’t had cell-phone cameras and the urge to record history.
Things would have been so much bet-ter, if all they’d done was stand around and smoke.
Something else to blame on the cellphoneCOLUMN

OPINION
In the wake of the grandest royal wed-ding in three decades and the build-up to the fi rst offi cial visit to Canada by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge,
the national conversation has once again turned to the relevance of the monarchy.
Why, asked my son, does Canada’s head of state live in another country? Followed by, how can I become king when I grow up? Sorry son, I said, the only way to become our country’s head of state is to be born into the right family, and ours isn’t it. He looked at me, puzzled.
Doubtless, there are conversations like this occurring in households across the country, and this is a good thing. Too often we forget to discuss the monarchy with our children and amongst ourselves, yet it is arguably the most important political institution in Canada.
Many Canadians don’t realize that be-yond the romance and the ceremony, there is a solid political reason for maintain-ing our current system of government. Besides being the most stable, long-lasting form of government in the world, the con-
stitutional monarchy is essential to our too-often indefi nable Canadian culture.
“The Crown is interwoven into the fab-ric of what Canada is,” explains Matthew Rowe, a spokesperson for the Monarchist League of Canada. “It shapes our concept of law, and how we look at government, and our history. If it wasn’t for the United Empire Loyalists, Ontario wouldn’t even exist. The Crown is so ubiquitous, some-times you forget that it’s even there, but it’s the one thing that unites all Canadi-ans, regardless of their politics or ethnic-ity.”
Republicans among us like to argue that the monarchy is too much of a throw-back to a feudal, class-based society, that an elected head of state is more relevant in a meritocratic democracy. But Rowe rejects this notion.
“We like to believe in the fantasies that
any American can become president,” argues Rowe. “But the effect in practice is quite the opposite because once you open up the top job to competition, to individual achievement, people start to do things to please their friends, to act in less-than honourable ways to get to the top.”
“Our monarchy is a cap on that ambi-tion,” says Rowe. “You can be the most powerful person in practice in this coun-try, as prime minister, but ultimately you report to someone.”
The monarch, on the other hand is determined by lottery of birth, thus Canada’s head of state begins life with everything a human being could want – money, power, and status.
“And the monarchy exists only by popu-lar consensus,” says Rowe. “The institu-tion must therefore make sure it only acts in the best interest of the state because it’s integral to its own survival.”
And while some believe having our head of state living abroad is a strange phe-nomenon, Rowe points to the power and stability of the Commonwealth. Canada’s place in it allows us to punch above our weight globally because it connects us to a long and deep history.
“Canada wasn’t invented on the back of a cocktail napkin yesterday,” says Rowe. “I reject the premise of the question that the process of ‘growing up’ as a country means shedding your past, shedding your history. Being part of this global family is a strength and it’s what makes Canada a great place.”
Long live the Queen

The students of Queen Elizabeth Pub-lic School have been hard at work on a creative writing project that promotes togetherness, love and sharing.
Developed by Grade 2/3 teacher Na-dine Powers, the project has seen the entire student population involved with the creation of an addition to the book Something Beautiful by Sharon Den-nis Wyeth. The book tells the story of a young girl who longs to see beautiful words instead of dirt and grime in the city she lives in.
Powers felt creating there own Some-thing Beautiful would give the students at her school something to feel good about and look forward to. The entire school took part in the project and on June 24 the school celebrated by reading excerpts from the book.
“Memories are something beautiful to me,” read Grade 6 student Alexandra Angelis. “And memories are not to be for-gotten.”
Vice principal Mark Cruise could not wipe the smile from his face as the stu-dents continued to read.
“You guys are warming our hearts,” Cruise said.
Principal Kateri Deschenes said her “something beautiful” is ultimately the book and all her students.
“This book is truly something great,” she said.
Every student had an opportunity to write a piece of what they felt was beau-tiful to them and place it in the book. From junior kindergarten to Grade 8, each student at the school had a place for their entry in the book, along with sub-missions from the teachers..
The beautiful sentiments ranged from descriptions of family, friends, the way the wind blows, working in a garden, fa-vourite sports, favourite teachers and the way music can fi ll you with rhythm.
The book also had entries that were written in various different languages – what ever the student wanted.
Cruise said he believes the book is possibly the fi rst such complete team effort by the entire student body in the school’s history and could not be more proud of what the students wrote. He also expressed his admiration for those students who were brave enough to read their entries out loud in front of their fel-low students and teachers.
The book is available to purchase at the school, priced at $8.00 for students and $10.00 for adults.
Photo by Michelle NashStudents at Queen Elizabeth Public School read aloud their contributions to a school wide creative writing effort that has been launched as a book. Something Beautiful was unveiled on June 24, with the entire school coming together to celebrate the book’s completion.

A community staple since 2006, the Wabano Centre for Aboriginal Health an-nual Igniting the Spirit Gala raised more than $190,000 to help with the centre’s ex-pansion.
The celebration of aboriginal culture took place on June 22 at the Hampton Inn on Conventry Road, where more than 500 guests were treated to performances by local aboriginal artists as well as a debut of fashion creations of renowned design-er Daphne Odjig.
The money raised will be donated to the new Wabano Mamawi National Cen-tre of Health Excellence currently be-ing built at 299 Montreal Rd. There was a number of ways people could donate to the centre, including participating in silent and live auctions which featured a unique collection of aboriginal trea-sures and opportunities to travel across Canada.
Carlie Chase, director of initiatives at Wabano, said the event was “beyond amazing.
“We were able to bring aboriginal cul-ture to the broader community in a way that we could all experience it together,” Chase said.
That is the goal once the centre is built – to be a place where the community of
Vanier and of Ottawa can gather. The tiles sold, over 305 of them are a way that buyers can contribute to the building of the new centre.
The gala also celebrated aboriginal culture, with conventional and non-con-ventional presentations.
After one presentation of drummers drumming to contemporary music, the audience roared with applause.
For Chase, the event was about more than just raising money for the centre, it was about creating a power of together-ness within the city.
“I think I am most moved by how Ot-tawa comes together to do something good. That room that night had nothing but good will in it. In our culture we have a concept of the ‘good mind’ and when multiple people come together with the good mind, aboriginal people have al-ways known the power in that and how it moves things forward and for me, that is what the gala is. The Gala created a place where our city came together and created a good mind.”
In a separate donation, the centre re-ceived a $275,000 gift from Royal Bank of Canada to go towards the expansion of the centre.

THANKS FOR VOTING MR. LUBE“DIAMOND AWARD FOR BEST OIL & LUBE”
IF ONLY THERE WAS AN AWARD FOR “BEST CUSTOMER”
Expiry: July 31, 2011 Code: 5613
Mr. Lube’s commitment to providingcustomers with fast, convenient, warranty approved service for their vehicles has re-sulted in a Diamond Award for Best Oil & Lube by the readers of Ottawa This Week East Edition. “We believe that providingcustomers with the best service possible is critical to our long-term success,” says Francois Trudel. Trudel and his wife, Kel-lie, own the Kanata, Barrhaven and Or-leans Mr. Lube locations and have been franchisees since 1992. “Customers re-quest and receive the service they want from the comfort of their own vehicle and at a time that is convenient to them, seven days a week. With no appoint-ment necessary, convenient and effi cient service sets us apart from our competi-tors.” The company has built itself on this philosophy from the very beginning. Back in 1976, Edmonton-based founder Clifford Giese realized there had to be a quicker, more convenient way to get oil changes and other vehicle maintenance services, rather than dealing with the time and hassle of making an appointment. In so doing, Giese not
only launched a great Canadian com-pany, but also invented an entirely new service category – the quick lube. Thirty-four years later, with over 34 million customers served; Mr. Lube has evolved from Canada’s largest quick lube brand to a complete preventive maintenance service provider. Today, with over 100 locations coast-to-coast, including seven in the Capital Region, and more opening every year, they have more customers and more locations than any other auto-motive maintenance services provider in the country, making it easy to stop by for your next service. Customers visiting any Mr. Lube location can be assured they will receive the same great service with each and every visit. Open seven days a week and until 8pm on weeknights, Mr. Lube is the preferred choice of Ottawa This Week East Edition readers.

MATTHEW JAY
After breezing past the Toronto FC Academy squad on Saturday, the stage was set for Capital City FC to vault into fi rst place in the Canadian Soccer league the following afternoon.
But legs weary from three hours of soc-cer in 24 hours were unable to land the decisive blow on Sunday, June 26 at the Terry Fox Athletic Facility against the York Region Shooters, and the home side was forced to settle for a 0-0 draw.
Capital City head coach Shaun Har-ris admitted fatigue played a factor in a match dominated for long stretches by his side, which remains in fourth place with the draw.
“I think we’re tired. I think at the end of the day, I think we were loads better than them. We were loads better in pos-session, we created all the opportunities in the game and a the day the ball hasn’t taken the right bounce for us. It’s un-lucky.”
The match was a relatively even affair in the fi rst half, with only a handful of chances between the sides.
In the second half, Capital City took a fi rm grip, creating a number of scoring chances, particularly through forward Sullivan Silva-Oliveriva who menaced the York Region defence from both fl anks.
The pacey Brazilian created Capi-tal City’s best opportunity less than 10
minutes from full time when he slipped through the Shooters defence and squared the ball for Junior Ellis, who was promptly brought down in the York Re-gion penalty area. Only after a good save by Shooters keeper Camilo Benzi on the ensuing penalty kick by Andre Manders denied the home side a breakthrough.
Benzi was solid throughout, turning away four shots on goal.
York Region was reduced to 10 men with fi ve minutes remaining when mid-fi elder Mario Orestano was shown a red card, but Capital City were unable to break down a resolute Shooters defence.
Clint Irwin, Capital City goalkeeper and captain, said his side was able to keep fresh thanks to building a large lead against Toronto, but they were unable to fi nish of the visitors who were com-ing off a 3-1 loss to the Montreal Impact Academy on Saturday.
“We got a little bit tired but we were still pushing on,” he said. “They started to fade a little bit but we have to just put teams away when you see that.”
Irwin, part of a defence that has only allowed four goals in the past seven games, notched his third clean sheet of the season.
“A clean sheet is always good,” he said. “I’d like it to be in a win, of course, but we can build on clean sheets and we know that if we create enough chances eventu-ally we’ll get a goal. If we get one and keep a clean sheet, we’ll win the game.”
The back-to-back games weren’t part of the plan for Capital City. The game against Toronto was rearranged for Sat-urday after torrential rains on Friday made the pitch at Terry Fox unplayable.
“We don’t like to play back to back,” said Harris. “We don’t have anything
scheduled for back to back at home for that specifi c reason. It’s an unfortunate situation.”
Capital City FC return to action on Canada Day, when they take on the North York Astros at the Terry Fox Athletic Fa-cility at 1 p.m.
