Mother Teresa school’s shop classes on hold

Mother Teresa Catholic High School has been ordered by the provincial Ministry of Labour to stop any “hot work” project such as welding, grind-ing or drilling until it proves it has improved its safety regu-lations.

As part of a continuing investigation into the death

of Eric Leighton, ministry spokesperson Matt Blajer said the orders were issued because of “immediate hazards” with-in the shop class the Grade 12 student was working in.

Effective July 6, the school has not been permitted to work with any equipment that “may contain explosive or fl ammable vapours.”

Pipes for water, sewer needed before developmentContinued from front

Kardish said he has been in talks with multiple hotel chains about developing a “signifi cant high-rise hotel,” which would likely include a conference cen-tre and maybe even an enter-tainment complex.

The main obstacle standing in the way is utility servicing of the area – wa-ter and sewer – by the City of Ottawa.

“It’s prema-ture because we’re still a couple years away from get-ting our land serviced,” he said. “The fo-cus of our ac-tivities right now is to get our concept plan of over-all land hold-ings approved.”

Barrhaven Business Improve-ment Area (BIA) executive direc-tor Andrea Steenbakkers said construction will occur mostly on the north side of the Strand-

herd-Fallowfi eld intersection, just east of Highway 416.

She added there are servicing issues to the entire area west of Greenbank and Jockvale roads and that the BIA is working closely with Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder to expedite improve-ments.

“We are missing out on a lot of opportunities for new com-

mercial and employment growth to oth-er areas of the city by having this land sit vacant and unserviced,” wrote Steen-bakkers in an email. “This is hurting our current busi-ness commu-nity. We are eager to work with any local developer and

the city to get things moving.” Harder said she has had meet-

ings with city manager Kent Kirkpatrick because she’s been “frustrated by the lack of prog-ress” with updates to services

in recent monthsHarder said the closest ser-

vicing options exist at the Jock River in Stonebridge, which of-fer limited pipe capacity to the project area. Still more is need-ed, she said, especially given the infl ux of employment op-portunities.

“I feel that Barrhaven has been short-changed when it comes to advancing that pipe and that’s why I’ve been push-ing really hard on it,” Harder said.

“It’s absolutely necessary for servicing.”

This is the second year Re-gional Group has discussed plans for the business park, Kardish said.

He said the company’s plans will follow Nepean’s secondary plan to account for “prestige offi ce park, basic offi ce park and commercial and other auto uses.”

Regional Group is awaiting the results of the city’s envi-ronmental master plan so it can incorporate pathways into the design as well.

Kardish said city staff is cur-rently reviewing the plans and will hold public meetings in the

fall. He hopes the city will be able to service 12 to 16 hectares of land in time for next year.

“We have users coming to us saying, ‘We really like the site. We want to get going.’ This is the primary business park for the Barrhaven area,” Kardish said.

“A hotel is just part of the plans that we have for our lands.”

Like the business park off of St. Laurent Boulevard in the city’s east end, Kardish antici-

pates the Barrhaven one will take 15 or 20 years before it’s fully completed.

Steenbakkers said it’s impor-tant to get construction started as quickly as possibly, especially since Barrhaven can handle it.

“We have the market capacity to support another half a mil-lion in commercial square feet at the current time,” she wrote.

“We need to keep up to ensure we are not losing regional draws that will bring many new con-sumers to the area, as well as retain the primary market con-sumers, Barrhaven residents.”

Steenbakkers also confi rmed DCR Phoenix has a “strong lead” for a separate hotel in the Strandherd and Fallowfi eld area.

Rajiv Bhatia, of DCR Phoe-nix’s commercial division, said the company is hoping to sell the land once it’s serviced. He would not divulge who he talk-ing to.

“Nothing is confi rmed yet,” he said.

“Transactions like this, some-times they work out, and some-times they don’t. We are talking to them and we’ll see how it goes.”

“We are missing out on a lot of opportunities for new commercial and employment growth...”

Fifty years ago, anglers might have wished good riddance to the American eel, a slimy, slithering nocturnal creature that has all but disappeared from the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence water sys-tems since the 1970s.

But the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority and other conservation groups in the Ottawa Val-ley are asking all fi sher-men, boaters and other outdoor enthusiasts to re-port sightings of the elu-sive eel as the province attempts to restore its ail-ing population.

According to RVCA wa-ter quality and biology manager Michael Yee, the native predator’s popu-lations have declined by about 99 per cent since the late 1970s. Experts blame overfi shing as well as deadly hydro dams that block their migratory path back to the Sargasso Sea near the Bermuda Triangle – the only place in the world where the eel will spawn.

TURBINES KILL

“They can’t get through the hydroelectric tur-bines when they’re mak-ing the migration back down (to the ocean),” Yee said. “They’ll follow the strongest fl ow, so if it’s near a hydroelectric plant, the strongest fl ow is going to be where the turbine is. When they go through the turbine, most of them don’t make it, if any.”

This has drastic con-sequences: if they don’t make it out of Ontario,

they don’t arrive at their breeding grounds, and their tens of millions of eggs never hatch – mean-ing new, young fi sh never travel back to the prov-ince. This throws Ontar-io’s aquatic habitats out of balance, especially since the eel sits at the top of the food chain.

“If you don’t have the eels, that energy goes somewhere else, so it kind of skews what the fi sh populations may be and you’ll change what that food web will be,” Yee said.

He explained that in the 1980s, about one mil-lion eels a year were fl op-ping over the fi sh ladder at the R. H. Saunders dam in Cornwall, returning to hunt away their 25-year life in Ontario before leaving again to spawn and die. By 1993, those numbers had dropped to a mere 3,500.

“That’s a catastrophic decline in population,” Yee said.

The other major prob-

lem is overfi shing. Al-though North Americans typically don’t enjoy a freshly cooked eel, plenty of people in Europe and Asia certainly do – and the species’ young “glass eels” are especially a deli-cacy.

Climate change, habitat destruction and declining water quality are also fac-tors in the eels’ ability to survive.

Anglers who acciden-tally catch an eel – usu-ally in shallow, marshy areas in the early morn-ing or after dusk – should take a photo, remove the hook and release the eel, Yee said.

REPORT CATCH

The catch should be reported to the RVCA or the Ontario Ministry of

Natural Resources, where staff are tracking the en-dangered population in an effort to recover its stocks for the future.

Sightings can be report-ed to the RVCA at 613-692-3571, ext. 1176 or [email protected]. Reports to the Ministry of Natural Resources should be di-rected to the natural heri-tage information centre at 1-705-755-2159.

Shop safety at issueContinued from front

Leighton and his classmates were mak-ing a barbecue for a year-end carnival on May 26 using a 55-gallon drum when va-pours from the peppermint oil inside the drum ignited and caused the explosion.

Blajer said Leighton had been using a hand grinder to cut into the drum.

“(The school is) not going to be able to do anything until they have the appro-priate measures and procedures in place to protect workers from an explosion and until an instructor has approved those procedures,” he said. “It’ll be in place until we’re satisfi ed that the procedures that are put in place are proper.”

In addition, the ministry has told the school it must ensure that teachers and

students are properly informed about potentially dangerous materials within the workplace and that students are properly supervised.

The school has until July 29 to comply with those orders.

Blajer said the ministry has recom-mended that school seek advice from the Public Services Health & Safety Associa-tion – a provincial not-for profi t group that aims to reduce workplace risks and prevent occupational injuries.

The association did not immediately return calls.

The school can then call upon a minis-try inspector to reassess the situation.

Blajer said he fully expects the school to be able to comply with all orders by the start of the school year in September.

The East Nepean Eagles are batting an incredible .750 heading into the provin-cial championships.

That’s because the west-end Little League baseball organization, formed mostly of Barrhaven players, has quali-fi ed for the Ontario-wide tournament in three of the four possible divisions.

The major (ages 11-12), junior (13-14) and senior (15-16) teams have all reached their respective District 2 (Ottawa west) tournaments in convincing fashion.

The senior Eagles won a best-of-three series with the Carlingwood-Frank Ryan Cardinals last weekend after earning 11-1 and 13-3 victories.

Despite the fact the Cardinals team was formed through a merger with the Kana-ta and Pinecrest associations, the Eagles proved too powerful.

“To me this is a special team,” said coach Felipe Mendoza, adding that a cou-ple of injuries hurt the team’s chances a year ago. “It’s not something that hap-pened this year. We’ve been working these players through the system.”

Thanks to deep pitching staff consist-ing of nine players – including Mendoza’s son Carlos – Mendoza believes the Eagles have a good chance to earn the Ontario Se-nior Little League championship, which runs from July 24 to 30 in Windsor.

“I have a lot of hope,” Mendoza said, who is also the team’s pitching coach. “This is probably one of the best teams I’ve had in my life with East Nepean.”

If the Eagles win the provincial tour-nament, they will advance to the national championship in Rouyn-Noranda, Que., from Aug. 3 to 10.

The junior Eagles squad will be seeking an Ontario title thanks to a 10-5 win in the west fi nal over the Kanata Cubs on July 19. The fi nal win capped off a perfect 3-0 tournament that saw the Eagles also de-

feat Kanata 11-4 and Carlingwood-Frank Ryan 15-3.

Head coach Paul Bloomfi eld said the team received some clutch hits from Matt Cooke, Chris Shute and Jonathan Lepage in the wins.

“We weren’t overconfi dent going in,” he said. “We thought if we played the way we were capable of playing that thought we could win.”

Now the Eagles will travel to Oakville to compete in the Ontario Junior Little League championship. While Bloomfi eld said Orleans, the other Ottawa-area team, is probably the favourite, he’s not count-ing his team out based on their play in the District 2 play downs.

“What you do in the districts is what you base the success of your team on,” he said.

The national fi nal takes place the week after in Lethbridge, Alta.

The players on the major Eagles won their third straight championship thanks to three straight wins in their District 2 fi nal.

Having won all 10 of their games so far this season, East Nepean went 3-0 in the west tournament, knocking off Carling-wood-Frank Ryan and Pinecrest before beating Kanata 13-2 on July 19.

“We’re a very strong, deep team,” ma-jor head coach Jeff Telford said. “There are no dominant hitters, no dominant pitchers, just strong hitters and strong pitchers from top to bottom.”

The major team will begin its quest for Ontario Little League supremacy in Brockville on July 26. A win at that tour-ney would earn the team a berth in the national championship in Vancouver, starting Aug. 3.

This is the age group that plays for the Little League World Series each year in Williamsport, Pa.

East Nepean will host the Canadian national qualifying tournament for Wil-liamsport in 2015.

Three East Nepean baseball teams vying for provincial titles

Submitted photoThe East Nepean Eagles junior (ages 13-14) all-star baseball team has qualifi ed for the Ontario Junior Little League championship after defeating the Kanata Cubs 10-5 in the District 2 fi nal on July 19. They will now travel to Oakville, Ont. to compete for a provin-cial title from July 24 to 30. The Eagles major (11-12) and senior (15-16) squads will also be vying for a provincial championship.

They’re known as public-private partnerships, or alternate fi nancing arrangements, or by

the acronym P3s.They have become popular

tools in the limited range of op-tions available to governments trying to fi nd money to repair or renew the crumbling roads, public buildings and other in-frastructure that underpin our communities.

Residents of many commu-nities will already be familiar with the concept through the new hospitals, courthouses and other public facilities for which the Crown agency Infrastruc-ture Ontario is responsible. (See fact box.)

A $335-million courthouse in Durham Region that opened in 2009 was the fi rst project to go through Ontario’s new alter-nate fi nancing program.

Infrastructure Ontario’s projects now include hospitals, the eastern extension of High-way 407, the modernization of Ontario Provincial Police facil-ities and highway service cen-tres across the province.

But a move is on to increase access to public-private part-nerships as municipalities try to cope with the enormous bur-den of funding infrastructure, a job that has already put many of them into debt.

York Region, for example, in search of new ways to fund transit, has formally asked Metrolinx (the regional trans-portation authority) to look at alternate funding sources for municipal transit systems.

The province unveiled its long-term, 10-year plan for in-frastructure June 24 and Cabi-net Minister Bob Chiarelli said Infrastructure Ontario will see its role expanded with a broader list of projects – including mu-

nicipal waterworks and transit – that can use its procurement and fi nancing model.

P3s are not uniformly popu-lar, generating criticism from opposition politicians and groups such as the Canadian Union of Public Employees, in part because the Canadian ap-proach to most public facilities and services has been to keep the entire process public, or as much of it as possible.

Critics found fuel in an On-

tario Auditor General’s report that concluded in 2008 that $200 million could have been saved if the province had done the borrowing itself on the new Brampton Civic Hospital.

But Mark Romoff, chief ex-ecutive offi cer of The Canadian Council for Public-Private Part-nerships, disagrees.

“You need to follow the pro-gram from beginning to end and you’ll see the strong, suc-cessful P3 program does deliver value for money,” he said.

Partnerships have evolved from their beginnings in the early 1990s and are now being used in more sectors at more levels of government, Romoff said.

A recent Edmonton break-fast brought out 370 attendees to hear how P3s can help mu-nicipalities, he said, a sign of increased interest at the cash-strapped municipal level.

“When you’re looking to move the infrastructure needle … if there’s an infrastructure gap and a fi scal challenge, the P3 model could be worth look-ing at,” Romoff said, acknowl-edging the partnerships are not a silver bullet for every proj-ect.

John Loxley, a University of Manitoba economics professor who studies and writes about P3s, evaluated prominent proj-ects including Highway 407, the controversial toll highway built in a private-public partnership and now owned privately. He be-lieves the highway was a “poor deal for Ontario taxpayers.”

“You need (infrastructure), but it’s got to be done right,” he said. “You don’t get something for nothing.”

But public-private partner-ships are not the only potential options available to help mu-nicipalities solve the funding puzzle.

Solutions popular in other ju-risdictions are being looked at as well, including new models that would apportion a certain percentage of income tax or a percentage of sales tax such as the HST for infrastructure.

The push for alternative fi -nancing is driven by the real-ization that municipalities sim-ply cannot hold the fort much longer. From 1955 to 2007, the federal share of public infra-structure fell from 27 per cent to 5 per cent while the munici-pal share increased from 27 per cent to 55 per cent, according to a 2008 report.

Earlier this month, the may-ors of Canada’s largest cities agreed at a meeting in Halifax that municipalities must watch the new majority government of Stephen Harper to ensure there is a change.

Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson, chair of a big-city caucus in the Federation of Ca-nadian Municipalities, said he hopes municipal leaders and

the Tories can develop a far-reaching infrastructure plan that won’t drop in priority as the new government tries to cut costs.

After the federation issued a report on the national infra-structure defi cit in 2007 – when, it calculated, the gap for Cana-dian municipalities alone was $123 billion – Finance Minister Jim Flaherty countered that municipalities should take care of themselves and that federal government was “not in the pothole business.”

The attitude changed as the recession took hold and the federal government took into account the jobs that could be created through infrastruc-ture projects. However, as the infrastructure defi cit grows and the economy resumes, the traditional equation is back in force.

The federation points out that 92 per cent of a Canadian’s tax dollar goes to the two up-per levels of government, but municipalities are responsible for more than half the exist-ing infrastructure — and have to do whatever jobs are passed to them — with the remaining 8 per cent.

A METROLAND MEDIA SPECIAL REPORT

BY DAVID FLEISCHERAND NICOLE VISSCHEDYK

Finding alternative fi nancingThird in a Three-Part Series

The City of Ottawa em-barked on two public-private partnerships for recreation in the east and west ends be-cause, as proponents argued, it was the only way the city could afford new arenas.

But in 2007 those deals took a turn for the worse. That year, the City of Ottawa ter-minated its contract with Serco Facilities Management, which was managing the Ray Friel Recreation Complex in Ottawa’s east end.

A city report presented to councillors had noted Serco underestimated its operating costs by $1.3 million a year while overestimating reve-nues. According to the report, Serco needed an extra $2 mil-lion a year.

In the end, the city took over operation of the centre at an added cost of $1.3 mil-lion a year.

Meanwhile, that same year councillors decided to fork over $1.4 million over three

and a half years to keep op-erations running at the Bell Sensplex. That decision came after a staff report recom-mended the city give Capital Sports Group, operators of the Bell Sensplex, $400,000 a year over three years to put the project on solid fi nancial ground.

At the time these decisions were made, council agreed to keep tabs on public-private partnerships, requiring an annual performance report.

Ray Friel: Ottawa’s failed P3?

Infrastructure Ontario It is an arm’s-length Crown

agency that manages public projects and arranges funding that includes private sources for infrastructure ranging from courthouses to sewer systems.

It also provides municipali-ties and other public bodies with access to affordable loans for new buildings and renew-al.

The agency has not issued an annual report since the 2008-09 fi scal year, so it is diffi cult to track projects and loans on paper.

However, the province says that since 2005, the agency has managed 52 infrastructure projects worth $21 billion, in-cluding 35 hospital projects and approved more than $4 billion in loans for more than 1,000 projects.

Youngsters build skills, muscles at summer campNEVIL HUNT

[email protected]

Dan picks up an old branch, gives it a quick look, then reaches down and snips off an end with a large set of pruning shears. He picks up the new twig and drops it in a plastic box. A look inside the box shows all the twigs fi t almost perfectly, reaching from one side of the container to the other as if trimmed using a ruler.

Such is Dan’s need for order and symmetry.

“I piled some wood too,” Dan says, pointing towards four huge piles of fi re wood, all neat and orderly, all braced between trees to keep the piles solid.

The 16-year-old is one of more than a dozen children with developmen-tal challenges learning outdoor work skills in a bush lot owned by Kathleen and Pat Rooney.

Outdoor Work Experience Summer Day Camp is offering its second sea-son of the unique camp on Richmond Road, just south of Bridlewood.

Kathleen says the skills the kids learn help develop such critical life skills as independence, responsibility and altruism.

Despite growing numbers of youth between 12 and 22 with pervasive de-velopmental disorders, autism, Down syndrome and other challenges, pro-grams for these older children are scarce. Kathleen says waiting lists can stretch to 15 years and the government offers minimal fi nancial support. She provides the example of one Ottawa family whose annual program costs for a 12-year-old child with special needs matched expenses to send their older son to university for the same year.

Outdoor Work Experience Summer Day Camp has received substantial fi -nancial support from the community to help offset camp costs for families that already spend heavily throughout the year for their child’s special ser-vices, particularly the South Nepean Autism Centre.

Kathleen, an educator with 22 years experience operating a private prac-

tice servicing special needs youth, de-signed the half-day summer camp last year.

The program teaches common out-door work skills such as raking, prun-ing, clipping grass, painting fences, digging and shovelling, potting seeds and plants, tending plants and trees, as well as appropriate work behaviour and acceptable conversation skills for the work place. Most importantly, the transfer of these skills to the home and community is encouraged.

TRANSFERABLE SKILLS

James, 23, is a good example. He says he enjoys working with the logs and the trees.

“They’re fun,” he says, adding that pruning trees is his favourite activity, and he’s also tried painting and rak-ing.

Kathleen says that after James took part in last summer’s inaugural camp,

he went home and started helping around the house with vacuuming, do-ing laundry and washing dishes.

“He helps his mom so much she said she couldn’t do without him,” Kath-leen says.

Twenty-one-year-old Jeremy is also in the camp for the second year, and couldn’t name an individual task as his favourite, but was digging when a reporter arrived at the bush lot.

“I love giving back to the environ-ment,” he said. “I like to clean up the planet.”

Typical teenagers are also an es-sential component of the summer day camp, working as volunteers with the campers. They too are receiving a hands-on education while understand-ing and interacting with special needs youth. These typical teens are the role models for appropriate work behaviour and conversation as well as responsible for motivation and enthusiasm that is necessary in the work place.

Ben O’Neil, a 14-year-old volunteer who attends Mother Teresa High School in Barrhaven, said he’s enjoying work outside and interacting with the campers.

“It’s inspiring and eye-opening.” Ben says during a short break, adding he’s sure to volunteer again next year. “I see how it’s making a difference.”

Supervisor Meaghan Samuel is a University of Ottawa student. She says some campers are shy or avoid socializing when they fi rst arrive, but she’s seen that change as the weeks go on.

“It’s great when they all come together on break,” Samuel says. “They’re all sitting and laughing and talking.”

Kathleen says for many of the participants this is their fi rst experience actually performing physical labour, and the campers feel they’ve achieved some-thing important when they see how the overgrown bush lot is groomed and cleaned up when they’re fi nished.

As with the typical population, some like the physical work more than others, but all make prog-ress in determining their strengths and weaknesses, and likes and dislikes.

She says some have managed to obtain part-time casual employment in their community.

By the end of the morning, parents and caregiv-ers are arriving to pick up the campers. Samuel says she feels a real sense of accomplishment when work wraps up at noon.

“I don’t want to leave,” Samuel says. “At the end of the day I feel like I’ve made new friends and I go home feeling like I’ve changed something and changed myself too.”

SCHOOL ROOM SCORCHEDAn investigation found a July 19 fi re that damaged this St. Joseph Cath-olic High School portable was accidental, due to an electrical problem.

There’s something about travel-ling with children that makes you want to turn around and forget the vacation all together.

On route to the fi rst destination of our two-week camping trip, the sun was beating down on us, the birds were sing-ing and we randomly discovered an arts a festival at our midway point. I’d made car bingo cards to keep the offspring amused for at least three hours looking for moose crossings, silos and swing benches.

It kept them going for about 10 min-utes before...

“Are we going to Algonquin Park?” asked my eldest son.

“Yes,” I said.“I hate Algonquin Park.”“You’ve never been there.”“Well I hate it.”Sigh! As soon as we arrived, I, in spite

of the car trip, felt unbelievably relaxed: The trees, the loons calling, the sound of Tea Lake below our campsite. But my son wasn’t having any of it.

“Is this Algonquin Park?” he asked.“Yes.” “I hate Algonquin Park.”“Algonquin Park has 2,456 lakes.

You’ve only seen one of them. You can’t possibly hate Algonquin Park.”

Silence. Silence and moping. And then.

“My stomach hurts,” he said. “I think I need a doctor.”

“You don’t need a doctor.”“I miss my bed. I think I need my bed.

I’m sick, or I have an allergy.” And then he turned around and pounded his little brother on the shoulder as he passed by.

Sigh! It reminded me of a Family Circus comic I saw a few years ago. In the single frame, the mom and dad are pulling a wagon carrying a gaggle of fi ghting kids, beach umbrellas and a dog. The father says, “I need a vacation.” To which the mother replies, “This is our vacation.”

The whole day continued like this. The water was too cold. The washrooms were too dirty. The fi re was too smoky. The loons were too noisy. The marshmallows were too sticky. THE MARSHMALLOWS WERE TOO STICKY!

“I’m never going to get through the

next two weeks,” I said to my spouse.“Sleep on it,” he said. “He’s just tired

and excited and out of his routine.”The next morning, I woke up early

to waddle, knock-kneed through the woods, fending off potential bears with a whistle on my way to the vault toilets. When I returned with a longer stride and a subdued ache in my bladder after the one kilometre trek, my eldest son was waiting for me. He’d peed in a bush.

“The birds woke me,” he grunted.“Wonderful!”I was not going to let him get me down. “Let’s go see what kinds of birds there

are around here.” I said. So off we went, hand-in-hand in our

pyjamas, breaking my fi rst rule of the fortnightly camping trip: Thou shalt not wander about the damp woods in one of two pairs of pyjamas. It wasn’t long before we spotted fungus growing on a tree stump. From there, we found some interesting evergreen trees that were dark green in the middle, with almost translucent needles. We saw moths and birds, and some early morning fi sher-men before we settled on a large rock located about two feet from the shore.

We sat on the rock and looked in silence. That’s when we saw the loons. They were swimming toward us. We were silent. They were bobbing for fi sh.

We were silent. All of a sudden, they disappeared under the water, and that’s when I realized that loons can hold their breath for an indefi nite amount of time.

An hour later, we returned to our campsite, just as my husband and younger son were emerging from the tent, fully-dressed, according to the rule. My eldest had a huge smile on his face. He pulled out his sketch pad and drew a picture of the things we saw that morn-ing.

“Mom,” he announced, “I used fi ve dif-ferent colours of green in my picture.”

“Perfect,” I said. And that was the beginning of our vacation.

Charles Gordon will return Aug. 18.

Even with the scorching temperatures experienced across the province over the past few weeks, Ontarians should be forgiven if they thought Christmas had

come a few months early this year.The gifts, or promise of, have been fl owing

freely this summer as part of the relentless ef-forts by Ontario politicians to win the hearts and minds of voters ahead of the Oct. 6 election.

In one corner, we have Dalton McGuinty’s Liberal government falling over itself to spend as much money as possible before the election fall campaign offi cially kicks off. In Ottawa alone last week, there were four separate funding announcements made by the Liberals totalling more than $20 million.

In the other corner are the Progressive Conser-vatives and New Democrats, led by Tim Hudak and Andrea Horwath respectively, who have been zipping across the province promising to “put more money in your pocket” and “put you and your family fi rst.” The policies the opposition parties have been endlessly touting since the end of the legislative session range from remov-ing the Harmonized Sales Tax from electricity,

heating and gasoline to killing the mandatory hydro smart meter program to creating a “buy Ontario” law.

With a budget defi cit of slightly less than $19 billion for 2010-11, Ontario is in no position to take its fi nances lightly. We don’t have the rev-enue available to throw away on the whims of a government that is trailing in the polls, nor can we afford to remove sources of public revenue based on the populist impulses of the challeng-ers.

There are a great many tests facing this prov-ince right now. Health care continues to consume a massive portion of government resources and the baby boomers have yet to experience the worst frailties of old age. We still have an econo-my largely oriented towards manufacturing, but has yet to recover from the great recession and is coping with a dollar worth fi ve cents more than the American greenback. We have crumbling in-frastructure across the province, but no compre-hensive plan to address what ultimately becomes a drain on the economy.

Any man or woman can promise the moon, but it takes a brave leader to face challenges head on.

A baby’s fi rst words are an ex-citing milestone for any parent, but one Riverside South resident is inviting young families to teach and celebrate babies’ fi rst signs as well.

Kristy Simons is a certifi ed Signing Time instructor, early childhood educator and a strong advocate for teaching sign lan-guage to pre-verbal babies as part of their regular language learn-ing process.

On Saturday, July 30 she is of-fering a free introduction to her program – the I Sign, You Sign baby sign language class – in the Rideauview Community Centre.

From 10 to 11 a.m. above Moncion’s Independent Grocer, parents can learn simple songs, games and signs to teach their child to use sign language along-side speech. Parents will also get a preview of what Simons’ full-length fall sessions can offer.

The classes are designed for babies and parents who have full hearing abilities, because Si-mons says that sign language in conjunction with speech greatly increases a baby’s cognitive abil-ity to learn other languages, math, reading and writing in the future.

“Teaching young children to sign as young as you can gives them a huge leap in terms of lan-guage and literacy. Their cogni-tive and intellectual ability just shoots through the roof,” she said, noting her own daughters have been signing since they were about six months old and as a re-sult have learned to read, write and speak much faster. “Baby Signing Time is to help teach pre-verbal children how to communi-cate.”

The baby signing program con-sists of four four-week sessions, at $55 per session.

To register for the free intro-duction on July 30, email [email protected] or call 613-822-9433.

Half Moon Bay park plan serves up debate


[email protected]

Construction of a community park in Half Moon Bay is close to beginning, but the amount of parking remains a sticking point.

Plans for the park originally called for a splash pad, small soccer pitch, gazebo, toboggan hill and two play structures on the west slide of Greenbank Road, north of Cambrian Road, but have now included two tennis courts in place of parking.

Local residents on Grand Vista and Fallingwater circles have expressed their concern to the City of Ottawa even though the project is at the point of tender.

“They’re very nervous that they took the parking lot out of the park and have replaced it with two tennis courts,” Half Moon Bay Community Association member Jenna Swinwood said, adding that the parking lot was supposed to have 12 spaces.

Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder said

there would be plenty of space to park along Greenbank and Cambrian roads.

In the future, there will be parking available at a school which will be built at the northeast corner of the intersec-tion as well as at the Barrhaven Sport-plex, which is due to be completed at the southwest corner.

Harder said she plans to hold meet-ings with the city’s traffi c department and will then attempt assure local resi-dents, through further meetings on site, that side streets will not become inun-dated with cars.

“There’s no reason for me to be sus-picious that that will happen,” she said. “There will be plenty of parking avail-able.”

PRACTICE FIELD

Harder added people won’t be fl ock-ing to the soccer pitch because it is meant solely as a practice fi eld.

Those parking at the sportsplex would then walk to the park by using the soon-to-be-constructed roundabout. But given that the park consists of a splash pad, to be used be infants, Swinwood said the 500-metre walk isn’t viable.

“I’ve got a two-year-old and there’s no way I would park at the sportsplex and walk over to the splash pad with my kid’s lunch and towels and bathing suits,” she said.

Despite the community concerns,

Swinwood said park plans won’t likely be delayed.

One of the playground structures should be completed by late in the fall, possibly November, she said.

‘BEAUTIFUL PARK’

Harder anticipates the park being the perfect “compliment to the Stonebridge and Half Moon Bay communities,” add-ing that the park will feature a pond and will be surrounded with black wrought iron fencing.

“This is going to be an absolutely, incredibly beautiful park that is going to mean increased property values for sure for the people who live around it,” Harder said. “This is going to be an amazing place.”

Harder said the demand for recre-ational activities, particularly tennis courts, has been increasing in Half Moon Bay and throughout the neigh-bouring communities.

Because of the limited equipment needed to play the game, Harder be-lieves many people will ride their bikes or walk to the court.

“People that want to pick up a rac-quet, it’s not like picking up your set of golf clubs and throwing them on your back on a bike or a hockey bag,” she said. “It is a racquet in a sleeve and a couple of balls and it’s over your shoul-der and you’re on your bike.”
