The founder's great-grandson, another John Thomas Bradley, still owns and operates the Bradley convenience store in the same location it burned down in 1948 but was rebuilt a year later and a street dance organized to celebrate its centennial in 1998 has become an annual event. The Bradleys were also recognized by federal MP Don Boudria and provincial MPP Jean-Marc Lalonde at yesterday's ceremony. Mr. Lalonde said he's been inspired by the family since Ross Bradley bought hockey sticks for his struggling youth hockey team that couldn't afford to pay for them on their own.

A few years later, that team went on to win the Canadian Championships at the junior level. many members of the extended Bradley family, showed their own form of appreciation by handing out three standing ovations as Ross Bradley accepted the framed key on behalf of his family. "I can't tell you how excited we've been these past few weeks knowing this award was going to be bestowed on us today," said Mr. Bradley, the grandson of John and Florence, as he recalled his early days in Navan when he'd hitch a ride to downtown Ottawa on a milk truck. "This makes us very, very proud." While the family was praised for its involvement in charities, fundraisers and community initiatives, including the building of the first Navan Arena in 1952, Mr.

Bradley said his neighbours deserve much of the credit. "It's the support of the community that allowed us to re- COUNCIL NOTES despite higher costs in fuel, insurance, wages and vehicle maintenance, leading to a 12 per cent increase in operating costs. What pleased them more, however, was a decision by council to change the age-restrictions of taxicabs approved in July. Instead of requiring replacement cabs to be no more than six model years old, the bylaw will allow cabs to be seven model years old provided they pass an inspection and safety check and were no more Holtz Health and Beauty Spa 45 Rideau St. at Sussex, 241-7770 www.I10luspa.com trained quit specialist 1 877 513 cqfoffitAfSgpft Bradleys honoured as 'the heart and soul of the community' By Bfv Wake It was more than a century ago that John Thomas Bradley and his wife Florence moved to Navan to found a small country store on the village's main street.

A hundred years later and many children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren later the Bradley clan that got its start so long ago was honoured with a key to the city of Ottawa. "Navan certainly wouldn't be the same without them," Councillor Phil McNeely said. "They're the heart and soul of the community." The crowd packed into Andrew Haydon Hall, including Cullen loses bid to scrap video cameras Surveillance cameras will be installed outside City Hall within the next few weeks, where they will keep an electronic eye on activities in Festival Plaza and near the Human Rights Monument. The plan cleared one last hurdle yesterday, when council rejected Councillor Alex Cullen's motion to scrap the two cameras to be installed outdoors. "This goes too far and ill befits a democratic organization like city council," Mr.

Cullen said. "There is no valid reason to have TV surveillance cameras on the Human Rights Monument." Mr. Cullen said he wasn't opposed to surveiUance cameras if they served a purpose, but said it was hard to justify a camera in Festival Plaza when there aren't any surveillance cameras in transit stations. "That kind of contradiction doesn't sit well with me," he said. Mr.

Cullen didn't object to the rest of City HaU's new security plan, which will see 15 cameras installed by Christmas. The other cameras will be located at the ground floor entrances, in underground parking entrances and tunnels, at loading docks and other remote corners. The plan also calls for the creation of a new security operations centre. 6 taxi rate hike, older cars approved Taxi users will pay an extra six per cent a ride starting Monday. City councillors approved the rate increase yesterday, which will see both the drop rate and cost per metre climb six per cent.

The drop rate will increase to $2.15 for the first 113 metres from iro metres, while 15 cents will be charged for every 113 metres driven compared with 120 metres. The move will make Ottawa's taxi fares the third highest among major Canadian cities, behind only Vancouver and London. A five-kilometre trip will cost $8.85 instead of $8.30. Taxi drivers, hurt by the falloff in tourism-related business in the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks on the U.S., reluctantly welcomed a rate increase they acknowledged is needed.

"It's going to save our members some money," said Mohamad Alsadi, national representative of the Canadian Auto Workers' Union. Mr. Alsadi, however, said drivers will likely go back to the city's Taxi Advisory Committee to get further relief. Councillor Diane Deans, who introduced the motion to amend the age restriction, said the new bylaw improve the quality of cabs in the city. No bus lanes in Innes widening A $47-million extension of a stretch of Innes Road wHl go forward without bus lanes.

City council refused to consider Councillor Alex Cullen's motion to send the plan back to staff to have them look at adding bus-only or car-pool lanes to the plan. An environmental assessment didn't look at either alternative. "It is both surprising and dismaying to find we go through an environmental assessment on a transportation project that does not include consideration of public transit," he said. we're going to do is increase capacity to accommodate cars when within a few years it's just going to be plugged up again." At committee levels, councillors Phil McNeely, Rainer Bloess and Herb Kreling argued in favour of the expansion, which they said was long overdue.
