Baseline on the rise?
JENNIFER MCINTOSH
A proposed apartment complex for 2940 Baseline Rd. has some residents concerned about traffi c and community character.
Brigil Platinum Group – who held a public consultation at Ben Franklin Place with the local councillor on Aug. 10 – has ap-plied for rezoning that would see three highrise apartments on the lot, just east of the Queensway Carleton Hospital.
The development would in-clude a coffee shop and some other amenities like pools and a health club.
There would be 588 units and the tallest building would be 16 storeys. Plans call for over 700 parking spaces, with most under-ground.
Lionel Rowe, a resident of nearby Gladecrest Court, said the building is just too big.

Child care advocates confront minister
NEVIL HUNT
South Nepean Park became the backdrop for a political rumble on Aug. 10, with the
federal minister of Human Re-sources and Skills Development taken to task by supporters of a national child care program.
Minister Diane Finley ar-rived at the park to mark the fi fth anniversary of the fed-eral government’s universal child care benefi t, which cur-rently delivers $100 per month to about 1.5 million families for each child under age six.
Child care advocates have called for a federal program to provide government-funded care for children across the country.
They criticize the current system, saying the money is of little use to parents who can’t fi nd a daycare space for their children.

“Come out to the gazebo in my backyard,” Rowe said. “All I am going to see is steel and concrete.”
The lot, near the intersection of Baseline and Sand-castle Drive, is currently home to garages, warehouses and offi ce space.
Miguel Tremblay, a planner with Fotenn Consultants – hired by Brigil – said that landscaping and building design will help to make the buildings fi t in with the surroundings.
“Because the area is all serviced off of Baseline we decided to go taller and have as much greenspace on the site as possible,” Tremblay said.
If the application is approved by council, the three buildings would be a mix of rentals, condo and adult-style living, according to project architect Rod Lahey.
The traffi c study submitted to the city says the morn-ing traffi c going into the complex would equal approxi-mately 30 cars going in and 126 going out.
In the evening, those numbers would change to 104 going in and 65 going out.
Some of the other allowable uses for the site could be offi ces or a car dealership – generating about 300 cars per hour – according to the study.
Several residents jeered at the traffi c fi gures, saying the study didn’t take into account the problems at the Baseline and Greenbank Road intersection, or the 600 new units to be build at Morrison Drive and Draper Avenue.
College Coun. Rick Chiarelli said the lack of infor-mation about areas beyond the site would help resi-dents oppose the application at planning committee.
“I think we can agree there are some elements miss-ing,” he said, adding that the IKEA expansion also hadn’t been taken under consideration.
Several residents stayed behind once Brigil repre-sentatives left to work out how they were going to re-spond to the application.
The tentative date for the fi le to go to the city’s plan-ning committee Sept. 27, but Chiarelli said it would likely be deferred and heard sometime in October.
The general consensus was that they would ask the planning committee to restrict the height to what the existing zoning allows for – 22 metres – which would be seven or eight storeys.
Chiarelli called for volunteers to get to work on an action plan and a compromise based on other planning committee decisions.
“If we go in there just saying no, then committee is likely to ignore that, we need to come up with a practi-cal solution that has some basis in the offi cial plan,” Chiarelli said.

Traffi c numbers questioned
STAFF
Nepean has fi ve very happy resi-dents after the Aug. 10 drawing of the 6/49 lottery.
Dario Elvina, Nestor Rivada, Ri-cardo Kalvgdan, Seveniano (Ben) Calingasan and Tim Shanks were among the group fo 18 coworkers at Smart Technologies to share a $7.07-million prize after winning the jack-pot in the Aug. 10 Lotto 6/49 draw.
Group leader Tim Shanks has diligently been collecting the lottery pool money and buying lottery tick-ets for the past fi ve years in hopes they would win a big jackpot.
Group member Collin Willard was the fi rst to discover they were big winners, only a day after the company they work for in Kanata announced layoffs affecting almost all of the group members, some of whom have been working together for almost 10 years.
“I picked up a winning numbers printout on my way to work, and I was in the parking lot in my truck when I checked our numbers and saw that we had won the big jackpot,” said Willard. “I started to see a few
people going into work that were in the group so I went to tell them, but nobody believed me. They thought it was a joke ticket, especially after the news from the day before.”
Shanks and Willard began to share the news immediately with the rest of their coworkers, and then went to the nearest retailer to validate their ticket as a winner.
“Word spread around the plant
like wildfi re,” said Willard. “Most of the people that heard the news were happy for us. We just can’t believe our luck.”
“This has removed the stress from so many people’s lives, particularly after the announcement we had at work the day before” said Willard.
The winning ticket was purchased at Mac’s Convenience on Moodie Drive in Nepean.

Nepean native Dan Altshuller is returning home from the Ivan Hlinka Memorial under-18 tournament with a gold medal around his neck.
The 17-year-old goaltender helped backstop Team Canada to a 4-1 win in the championship game of the tournament over Sweden in Breclav, Czech Republic on Aug. 13.
After losing the opening game of the event to the Swedes 5-1, Altshuller didn’t allow a goal until the fi nal match.
The unsanctioned International Ice Hockey Federa-tion under-18 tournament is named after Ivan Hlinka, a former Czech player who also coached the Pittsburgh
Penguins from 2000 to 2002. All players who played at the Ivan Hlinka event are
eligible for the NHL draft in June 2012.Altshuller is eligible to return to the Central Canada
Hockey League’s Nepean Raiders for the 2011-12 season. His Ontario Hockey League rights are currently owned by the Belleville Bulls.
Last year with the Raiders, Altshuller went 19-13-10 with a 3.22 goals-against average, a .906 save percentage and one shutout. He had a 3.73 goals-against average and a .911 save percentage in the Raiders’ seven-game loss to the Brockville Braves in the opening round of the play-offs.
Altshuller also helped Team Ontario win a gold medal at the World under-17 Challenge last January in Winni-peg.

Finley defended the government’s de-cision to hand out monthly cheques in-stead of creating a federally-run system. She insisted the issue is choice for par-ents, and that national daycare would re-move that choice. Finley did not address the issue of the cost of a federal program when answering a question about ways to fi nance a national system.
Carleton-Mississippi Mills MP Gordon O’Connor, who was on hand to introduce Finley, provided a frank response to a question after the press conference. He said cost is a critical factor in the govern-ment’s decision.
“I hope I’m not contradicting what Minister Finley said, but we’ve calcu-lated the cost of a national program to be $16 billion a year,” he said. “That’s $16 billion every year.
“We can’t afford that. Governments can’t meet every need, everywhere. It’s parents that decide to have children, not the government.”
In addition to the mixed message about why the Harper government has declined to create a federal child care program, Finley also had to deal with some vocal critics.
As Finley began to speak inside a small tent set up for the occasion, at least fi ve people arrived wearing T-shirts bearing the website name ivotechildcare.ca – a grassroots movement to maintain child
care spaces for children under the age of fi ve.
Decked out in one of the brilliant yel-low shirts, Diane O’Neill – who says she has worked for more than 30 years in child care – managed to speak to Finley before she left the tent.
“I’m really surprised that you would come here to Barrhaven,” O’Neill said, adding that many Barrhaven parents can’t fi nd daycare space for their chil-dren. “There are more and more people waiting for child care in this communi-ty.”
O’Neill added that “the only daycare spaces being created are for-profi t,” which she said affects the quality of care, and asked why the federal govern-ment won’t create a national system.
SHORTAGE
In response to O’Neill’s question, Fin-ley said the federal government knows there is a shortage of child care space.
“That’s why we have given an addition-al $250 million to the provinces; because we’re trying to help,” the minster said.
Asked why the federal government doesn’t combine the money transferred to the provinces with tax credits provid-ed to businesses and use the funds to cre-ate a national child care program, Finley said a government program wouldn’t work for all families. She said rural fami-lies may have no local child care options, and that parents who work nights or weekends may have no centre available to care for their children while they are on the job.
The event wrapped up with Finley cut-ting a cake, with pieces distributed to a crowd of children gathered in the tent for her speech. Some of the people wear-ing ivotechildcare.ca T-shirts attempted to stand behind Finley to ensure their message was picked up by news cameras, while members of Finley’s staff took up positions next to the minister in an effort to block the cameras’ view.

Some of Ottawa’s potential future po-lice offi cers were learning the ropes at the Nepean Sportsplex, starting Aug. 15.
The City of Ottawa’s police adventure camp – a week-long camp for 11- to 14-year-olds – kicked off for the fi rst time as a way to more youth in summer program-ming prior to their high-school years.
Like some of the oth-er “tween camps” that took place earlier in the summer such as ones focusing on modelling, personal fi tness and city exploration, the point of the policing session was keeping the campers en-gaged.
“It’s exciting because it’s different than other camps. It also gives them hope for their future ca-reers,” said camp co-ordinator Heather Kelly, adding many of the children in at-tendance said they wanted to pursue po-
licing as a career.After signing in for their fi rst day, the
young cops were given a chance to cre-ate a crime scene behind the Sportsplex and try to solve the ones invented by their peers.
“I like solving crimes,” said Barrhaven resident Isaac Keiwan, 13, when asked why he wanted to attend the camp.
Aside from the putting on their detec-tive hats, the campers also had a visit
from the Ottawa police’s K9 unit and went on the Ottawa Haunted Walks tour downtown.
But, Kelly said, even with all the policing activities, recreational components like swim-ming and kick-boxing lessons have to be sched-uled to keep the campers fi t.
“You have to be cre-ative with the programs
and have unique games,” she said. “It’s hard sometimes because, let’s face it, they’d rather be at home by themselves.”

An international show jump-ing competition has galloped into the gates of the Nepean National Equestrian Park on Corkstown Road for the fourth year in a row.
The event – which will run until Aug. 21. – kicked off with a bang on Aug. 10, with former Olympic silver medalist Ian Mil-lar praising the park, the city and the organizers for the success.
“This facility (Nepean Nation-al Equestrian Park) facilitates the sport in the city,” he said. “The riding school up on the hill is where kids learn about horses and ride. This park is great. For the riders, it’s a thrill to be here.”
Mayor Jim Watson – who admit-tedly isn’t much of an equestrian because of allergies – said the event benefi ts local businesses.
“We have people coming here to stay in hotels and eating in restaurants,” he said. “And while they are here they get to see some of the other amazing things Ot-tawa has to offer.”
Approximately 500 horses will compete during the competition.
The fi rst week of the competi-tion, running from Aug. 10 to 14 was highlighted by the $25,000 Hayes Co. Grand Prix on Aug. 14.
The second week, running from Aug. 17 to 21, will see the $75,000 Brookstreet Grand Prix.
“I have supported this event for many years,” Brookstreet owner Terry Matthews said. “It’s great to be involved in something that just keeps getting better and bet-ter.”
Matthews estimated some 30,000 people would converge on the park for the 10-day event.
Ainsley Hayes, the event co-or-dinator and daughter of two-time equestrian Olympian Jay Hayes said it’s her family’s 25th year of producing show-jumping compe-titions.
Despite drawing competitors from all over the world, local rid-ers began to shine as early as the second day of the competition.
Ottawa’s Kelley Robinson dom-inated the competition on Aug. 11 with a win in the 1.35-metre competition and placed third and sixth with two other mounts.
The win was on a course set by Mexico’s Catsy Cruz. Robinson fi nished in a time of 47.01 seconds with no faults.
“I went semi-fast in the jump off,” Robinson said in a press re-lease. “I didn’t feel like I was go-ing that fast, but my horse has such a huge stride that he covers the ground quickly.”

For the last 20 summers, ever since the train ceased to be an affordable option, we have driven the Trans-Canada
Highway across northern Ontario to Kenora and sometimes beyond.
It’s a trip not enough people take, as you can tell by the increasing number of closed restaurants, motels and gas stations along the way. Last year’s casu-alty was the Busy Bee, a homey restau-rant-gift shop at Nairn Centre, west of Sudbury. This year it’s the Rossport Inn, an adornment to the former fi shing village on Lake Superior since 1884.
Border hassles and our rising dollar have cut into tourism from the U.S. The economic decline of Northern Ontario, particularly in the pulp and paper towns, is refl ected along the highway. Yet it is a highway well worth taking – a very drivable road with many passing lanes and breathtaking views along the north shore of Superior. Fortunately – or not, depending on how you look at it – it is never crowded.
Always on the lookout for meaningful trends along the highway, I am some-what pleased to be able to report that the Ontario government has put shiny new outhouses at rest stops along the highway. Oh, and people painting their
names on rock faces is back.For some reason, the more beauti-
ful the setting, the more people feel a need to make their mark on it. After a while, the writing on the rocks took a back seat to the building of inukshuks. This was nice at fi rst, but got to be a bit annoying.
You remember how cute it was back in the 1980s when people began do-ing The Wave at football, baseball and hockey games. It seemed then like a nice bit of audience participation but the copycat syndrome took over and The Wave became a cliché. You couldn’t escape it. Amazingly, it persists to this day in some backwaters.
The inukshuk, a few rocks piled together in a certain way, was a beauti-ful idea in its original context, but has
now become so widely imitated as to become meaningless. Inukshuks are everywhere along the northern On-tario Trans-Canada. Some of them live up to their meaning in Inuit, “in the likeness of a human.” Most of them do not. Most of them look like somebody started to pile up some rocks in a cer-tain way, then get bored and went off to do something else.
In the old days, people used to paint their names on the rockfaces along the highway. “Joe loves Irma, July 6, 1978.” This wasn’t pretty and it’s just as well that it doesn’t happen everywhere. On the other hand, the tops of the rockfac-es were left pretty much as God made them.
Now, it’s pretty well impossible to fi nd a rockface along the Trans Canada Highway that doesn’t have a pile of rocks on top of it. And the piles don’t look like anything except other piles, other clichés. “Joe loves Irma” may be a cliché too, but not to Joe and Irma and at least the painted message allows us to think fond thoughts about the moment they may have had before the paint can came out.
Now, bright new fl uorescences tell the 2011 story of Joe and Irma and others of their ilk. Maybe that’s for
the best. It’s probably a bit nannyish to worry about piles of rocks falling on somebody’s head (but what a uniquely Canadian story it would be!). The real problem is that there is no longer a rock surface along the Trans-Canada that somebody has not piled rocks on. And how many of them even know why?
Since the Ontario government can spend all that money on fancy new outhouses, maybe it can funnel some more funds on fi nding constructive ways for people to make their mark – a guest book? It’s probably too much to hope that people will some day decide to leave no mark at all.
EDITORIAL
The Conservative government has dragged its heels on a federal daycare program for years.
Instead, the government sends a monthly cheque for $100 to families for every child under age six. Last week, Human Re-sources and Skills Development Minister Diane Finley stuck to the party line during a press con-ference in Barrhaven, saying the $100 cheques are all about choice for parents, while a feder-ally-managed system would remove that choice.
But what choice does a parent have if there is no child care available to buy? That’s the case for thousands of parents on waiting lists in Ottawa. The numbers across the country are staggering.
If you don’t think you have a stake in afford-able and accessible child care, you are mistaken.
By stepping up with a federal child care sys-tem, the government would immediately free up a huge chunk of our potential workforce. Sud-denly parents working part-time would be able to work full-time. Other parents who stay home today would immediately have time to work some of the time outside the home.
One government minister at the Barrhaven event last week said cost – not parental choice – is the key issue. Carleton-Mississippi Mills MP Gordon O’Connor said the price tag for federal daycare would be $16 billion annually.
But that number – which sounds infl ated – would be in part offset by other savings. Add up all the $100 cheques, many of which go to families that don’t need the fi nancial help. Cut out the cheques each month and the government saves about $2.4 billion annually.
Remove the tax credit companies receive if they create child care spaces today. The govern-ment could also expect an expanded tax base as more people hit the labour market, freed from stay-at-home care.
A YWCA report issued in March reviews prior research that concludes that “over the long term, every public dollar invested in quality early learning and child care programs returns $2.54 in benefi ts to society,” mainly through improving cognitive abilities.
The federal government can take the easy way out and insist we can’t afford national child care. But really we can’t afford not to.
Federal child care needed now

(MS) In an effort to promote safer riding for students, many school districts have made school bus lap belts mandatory. But the very devices aimed at protecting children actually could be putting them at greater risk for injury, according to the National Highway Traffi c Safety Admin-istration. Only three states re-quire seatbelts on new school buses, and those are New York, New Jer-sey and Flor-ida. They are optional in other states. Safety experts, including the Canada Safety Council, do not believe seat belts on school buses improve safety. In fact, research in both Canada and the U.S. has shown that lap belts could actually increase the risk of head injuries in a head-on collision (the most common type of bus collision). Lap belts hold a child’s pelvis fi rmly in place, allow-ing the torso and neck to whip forward. This occurs with great force, enabling the head alone to hit the seat in front of the rider, potentially resulting in fatal or life-threatening injury, according to experts.A combination lap-shoulder belt, as is standard in most passenger vehicles, is a safer method of child restraint. Legislators in the U.S. are still debating whether buses should switch over from lap belts to the combination type found in cars. Still, only small, lightweight school buses feature them. That’s be-cause the cost to outfi t larger-capacity buses could be more than some school districts can afford.Although some parents may be weary about letting children ride unsecured in a school bus, seatbelts have been absent from school buses for years -- without major incident or loss of life.
According to the Canada Safety Council, school buses are not passenger cars and are designed and built with different methods of safety. They are crafted to protect riders through something called compart-
mentalization. This means the protection lies heavily in the design of the seats. Seats are placed close together to cocoon pas-sengers. High backs protect heads and necks, and en-ergy-absorb-ing materials in seat cush-ions also offer safety in a col-lision.Should shoul-der belts be required, they
would necessitate the redesign of seats, mandating that they be more rigid. This could put riders who fail to buckle up at greater risk. A school bus driver cannot assure that every rider on the bus will fasten a seatbelt, and checking student-by-student could be a matter of time and money.Statistics indicate that fewer than 10 passengers a year die in school bus crashes in the U.S. On average, two of those deaths are in head-on crashes. NHTSA says the inclusion of shoulder-lap belts would pre-vent only about one student death a year.For some supporters of seatbelts on buses, this is enough. When talking about saving children’s lives, advocates offer that safety should be put before cost and potential misuse every time. The American Acad-emy of Pediatrics supports seatbelts on buses, saying that they go a long way toward preventing injuries, not only deaths. Furthermore, advocates say that seatbelts on buses keep the message consistent to children that buckling up whenever riding in a mov-ing vehicle is essential.
Lap belts an issue for school bus safety
Safety concerns about seatbelts on buses could make lap-shoulder combination belts only mandatory on smaller buses.

(NC)—Picnics, pool parties, barbecues—all things that make for a great summer defi nitely throw a wrench in our routines and balanced diets. Getting into a back-to-school routine can be diffi cult for the entire family, but there are ways to make the transi-tion as easy as possible.
“Children depend on their parents to establish schedules and provide nutritional guidance,” says registered dietitian Cara Rosenbloom. “Getting your children into a great routine and teaching them how to make healthy food choices before school starts will help them develop habits that they can main-tain all year long.”
Here are some helpful tips to get your kids back on track just in time for back to school.
Eat breakfast as a family—Waking up as a family will help get your kids back on a proper sleeping and eating schedule. If you start getting them in the habit of waking up early, it will be easier to get them to school on time. Plus, breakfast doesn’t need much preparation either! For a quick and healthy meal, try whole grain breakfast cereal with Dairy Oh! milk and fresh berries.
Read it before you eat it—Teach your kids how to read food labels. Once your children know which
nutrients to look for and what ingredients to avoid, they will have the power to make healthier choices at school and with friends. A great way to educate your kids is to take them grocery shopping and have them make some selections. Teach them to choose items with less sodium and more vitamins, and show them how to fi nd products that are enriched with DHA, an omega-3 fat that’s important for brain development. You can use a carton of Dairy Oh! milk as a good example to help with label reading and choosing foods with DHA.
Plan your menu together—This is a great way to get your children excited about meal time. Now that they better understand how to read food labels, you can create family recipes and enjoy wholesome foods together.Take time to discuss and plan weekly meals with your kids to avoid unhealthy last min-ute food choices and provide something they will enjoy.
Chef in training—Children love to be involved in food preparation. Next time you are in the kitchen, bake a snack they’ll love such as whole wheat muf-fi ns or banana bread. Once your kids know how to navigate the kitchen and what foods to choose, they can easily pack their own lunches—something you and your kids can both be excited about!

Nepean-Carleton’s provincial Liberals acclaimed long-time party member Don Dransfi eld as their candidate in the Oct. 6 provincial election. He ran unopposed at a nomination meeting on Aug. 15 at the Wal-ter Baker Centre in Barrhaven attended by about 40 party members.
Dransfi eld will take on incumbent Pro-gressive Conservative Lisa MacLeod in the election, as Dalton McGuinty and the Liber-als attempt to capture a third straight term. Many of those who spoke at the nomina-tion meeting allowed that MacLeod is well-known, but hope to pull off an upset in a rid-ing that has voted PC for the last 16 years.
Dransfi eld will take a leave from his job in sales and marketing at an industrial battery company in order to campaign prior to the Oct. 6 election. His political background in-cludes a degree in political science and a los-ing run for Ottawa city council in the ward of Gloucester-South Nepean in 2006.
Dransfi eld was introduced by former Lib-eral candidate Rod Vanier, who said Drans-fi eld will need the full support of local Liber-als to defeat MacLeod.
“This is not a time for half measures,” Va-nier said.
Ottawa West-Nepean MPP Bob Chiarelli also rallied the party members, saying Con-servative voters may well stay home on elec-tion day if PC party leader Tim Hudak ap-pears to be a clone of former premier Mike Harris.
“Tim Hudak doesn’t want to talk about three four-letter words,” Chiarelli said. “And those words are jobs, kids and MRI’s.”
Chiarelli touted Ontario’s job creation in recent months, including 40,000 new jobs re-ported by StatsCan in June. He also said the province has turned around wait times in the
province from the worst in Canada to the best since the Progressive Conservatives were in power.
“We’ve got a lot of reasons to work hard in this riding,” Chiarelli said.
Following his acclamation, Dransfi eld said defeating MacLeod would be a “big task,” but not impossible.
“We need to point out her record; she vot-ed against a lot of big issues that have been good for this riding,” Dransfi eld said, adding he’ll use the experience of running in the 2006 city election to help him reach voters in Nepean-Carleton in the coming seven weeks before voters cast their ballots.

The Nepean-Carleton Green party has confi rmed Gordon Ku-banek as its candidate for the upcoming provincial election. He will be challenging the Con-servative party incumbent, Lisa MacLeod.
Kubanek, who holds a master’s degree in chemical engineering, attacked assumptions that the Greens are a single-issue party and argued that a Green govern-ment would help the economy at his July 11 candidate confi rma-tion meeting.
“Just look at Germany,” he said. “The Green party there 15 years ago talked with industry to generate 21st-century jobs and now they are the envy of Europe and their industrial might is bankrolling all of Europe.”
On the possibility of using tax-ation to discourage Ontarians, Kubanek admitted that change could be painful.
“However, once we get over the fact that life is change we can, with help from well thought-out planning, slowly make the neces-sary changes, as I have by, for ex-ample, moving from oil heating to geothermal,” he said. “In the long term, it will save all of us tons of money and have the added benefi t of signifi cant carbon reductions and cleaner air.
“Same old, same old just won’t do,” Kubanek said. “Ontario’s youth are in tune with our coun-try’s need to wake up to the fact that we need jobs that are based upon sustainable use of our pre-cious resources. Exponential, prosperity-driven consumption – particularly the sell-off of un-refi ned natural resources – can’t continue. They’re fi nite and should benefi t Canadians the maximum possible extent by hav-ing all the processing done here in Canada.”
