Federal candidates get grilled in Greely Joseph Morin

joe.morin@metroland.com

Election candidates were confronted by an interested and at times frustrated crowd at an all-candidates meeting in Greely last week. More than 400 residents from Greely, Osgoode, Manotick and as far away as Richmond came together to grill

federal election candidates at the Greely Community Centre on Sept. 9. Present for the meeting were Pierre Poilievre, Conservative incumbent for the former Nepean-Carleton riding, Chris Rodgers representing the Liberal party and Deborah Coyne for the Green party. Absent with a last min-

ute cancelation was the NDP’s KC Larocque. The tone and mood of the meeting was mixed, reflecting national attitudes about a lack of faith in the federal government in general and the ruling Conservatives in particular. It came to a head with the issue of scientific independence, when Poilievre said he doesn’t agree with the premise that Canada’s scientific community was being hampered by his government’s apparent decision to “muzzle scientists,” as one crowd member put it. That particular remark resulted in a derisive wave of noise from the crowd. Rodgers and Coyne were quick to clearly say they felt that scientists had been muzzled and that there was no other way to say it, at which point the 400-plus crowd roared their agreement.

Meet the Carleton New Democratic Party candidate: KC Larocque Staff

Thirty-two year old KC Larocque is the project manager for her family’s commercial HVAC construction business. She has previously worked as a national organizer for the federal NDP and as a public servant in Health Canada and the Canada Revenue Agency. She lives in the west end of Ottawa outside the riding boundaries but grew up in Constance Bay in West Carleton where her family still lives and where she spends time every week working in the family business. Q: Why are you running? A: I’m running because I believe we can build a stronger, more prosperous Canada. I’m running because I want a country my daughter can be proud of when she grows up. I’m

KC Larocque

running because I’ve seen first-hand how families are working harder than ever and are not getting ahead. I’m running because I believe the time has come to give families more choices by implementing $15 a day child care. I’m running because I believe Stephen Harper has had his chance and after ten years it’s time for change. Q: Detail your past po-

litical and civic experience or activism (volunteering, campaigning, donations, employment) at any level of government or political party. A: I started out as a volunteer and ended up working as a field organizer for the NDP. Doing this work I had the privilege of working alongside Jack Layton who truly inspired me to believe that politics don’t have to be about the lowest common denominator. I also learned that keeping federal politics rooted locally is vitally important. That’s why when the chance came up to run in the area I grew up in, I jumped at the opportunity. Q: What is the biggest federal issue facing your riding and how has it been handled to date? How would you approach it? A: Jobs and the economy. The NDP is the party

of balanced budgets. The NDP will stop giving handouts to the most prosperous corporations and will cut small business taxes instead. The NDP will work with the provinces to create child care spaces capped at $15 a day. Q: What are the biggest federal issues affecting the Ottawa region? How will you address them? A: Certainly with so many individuals in Ottawa serving in the public service, protecting those jobs is of utmost importance to me and the NDP. I would certainly look to foster a more constructive relationship with the public sector union that represents so many people in the Ottawa area. Q:Nationally what do you view as the biggest issues facing Canada and how do you plan to address them?

A: Canadians want change. I believe Canadians want to feel their government has their best interests at heart and isn’t just looking out for the most well off among us. To me the answer to the question “who is ready to lead?” is clearly Tom Mulcair. He has a prudent balanced approach to pull our country’s finances out of deficit and re-invest in Canadians. I think we need a government that takes the challenges presented by climate change seriously. I believe we need a government that will honour the hard work that Canadian seniors have already put in as they’ve built this country by lowering the retirement age back to 65.

For more than 40 years our community has benefited from the care and medical expertise at CHEO. While some of us have thankfully never had to use CHEO, others have for minor or sometimes more serious issues. The one commonality we all share is a great respect and appreciation for CHEO.

Meet the Carleton Green party candidate: Deborah Coyne

Deborah Coyne government can be a constructive force in building a better society. That’s animated me, and through (the constitutional battles at) Meech Lake and Charlottetown, that is what taught me the importance of working with people and avoiding the elite. I got back into politics in the 2000s. When I ran for the leadership of the Liberal party in 2012, I believed that party was where I could promote a longer term vision for the country, so that’s where I put my effort. In the recent year I’ve concluded there is just too much party machine interference. Once I looked at the Green Party

of the economy? Everyone I know, knew we were in a recession a long time ago, and we have to find ways to invest in serious action on climate change and expanding jobs. Everybody in this region shares the embarrassment about Parliament … the Green party is in a great position to be a constructive participant in this Parliament and push for electoral reform and bring about some serious long term changes to our democratic structure. Q: Nationally, what do you view as the biggest issues facing Canada, and how do you plan to address them? A: Canada is nowhere internationally … the government has consistently received the ‘fossil of the year’ award for not being able to contribute. Another major one is repealing (the anti-terror bill) C-51. It’s a very serious piece of legislation rushed through Parlia-

ment, despite being universally condemned as being unnecessary and reducing civil liberties. C-51 is yet another piece of legislation, like the omnibus budget bill, that was thrown through Parliament with very little debate. I believe Canadians are listening, and they’re looking for a way to change parliament.

Deborah Coyne may be Green, but she’s no greenhorn. Voters may remember her from the 2013 Liberal leadership race, where she faced off against current leader Justin Trudeau, and when she ran against late NDP leader Jack Layton in Toronto. Coyne is now a senior policy advisor to Green leader Elizabeth May. She grew up in Ottawa and lives in the west end, outside of the Carleton riding. She has degrees in history and economics from Queen’s University, studied international relations at Oxford University in England and is a lawyer. Q: Why are you running? A: For me this is about getting Parliament to work again: taking the power back from the prime minister’s office … and putting it back in the hands of the citizen. Q: Detail your past political and civic experience or activism (volunteering, campaigning, donations, employment) at any level of government or political party. A: I’ve worked for politicians, including John Turner, the Business Council on National Issues, the Ontario government on disability issues, the insurance crisis (in the 1980s) … I saw how

… it seemed like a good fit. I’ve been a senior policy advisor to Elizabeth May since last February. Q: What is the biggest federal issue facing your riding and how has it been handled to date? How would you approach it? A:It ranges from everything from the Energy East pipeline carrying raw bitumen, to the disgraceful treatment of veterans by the government, and even this memorial to the victims of communism. On the pipeline, there is no safe way to ship raw bitumen … the residents of Richmond and other villages are all on well water, and it only takes one leak. We’ve seen in the past: how many times have we committed to go ahead and not assessed the risks properly? That’s something I believe Carleton deserves to have the advocacy of someone like me on. Q: What are the biggest federal issues affecting the Ottawa region? How will you address them? A: Are we going to take some action on climate change, not just as an environmental issue but as part

Meet the Carleton Conservative party candidate: Pierre Poilievre Staff

Conservative MP Pierre Poilievre is setting his sights on a new riding after Nepean-Carleton was split to account for population growth in Ottawa’s southern suburbs. Poilievre studied international relations at the University of Calgary before he was first elected to NepeanCarleton in 2004. Now 36, he is the senior minister for the national capital region, the Minister of Employment and Social Development and the Minister of State for democratic reform. He currently lives in Barrhaven – part of the old riding – but by election day he will live in Greely, part of Carleton. Q: Why are you running? A: I believe in the proven leadership of Prime Minister Harper, I believe in keeping our budget balanced, our

Pierre Poilievre

taxes low and our economy moving forward. I want to continue to advocate for fiscal responsibility and low taxes for families. Q: Detail your past political and civic experience or activism (volunteering, campaigning, donations, employment) at any level of government or political party. A: I worked on Parliament Hill for Stockwell Day and I’ve been politically

active and interested ever since I was 15 years old. I loved sports but I got this terrible rotator cuff injury that wouldn’t go away, so I couldn’t play any competitive sports. So I was extremely bored and so I asked my mother if she would take me to Progressive Conservative meeting. I’ve been active for the 20 years that followed. Q: What is the biggest federal issue facing your riding and how has it been handled to date? How would you approach it? A: The economy. There are two ways in particular. The fact that we have a large number of public servants means it’s important for the government to have sound finances. The health of the public service depends on the fiscal health of the government. I f the government has a balanced budget then servants can feel secure that

their jobs will be there for years to come. If the country is drowning in debt then the country starts to demand job cuts. Second, there are a lot of small business owners in Nepean-Carleton, so we have to keep their tax rates low so they can afford to hire people. Q: What are the biggest federal issues affecting the Ottawa region? How will you address them? A: We are funding one third of the cost of cleaning up the Ottawa River by fixing our sewage system to stop pouring raw sewage into it. We’re also funding one third of phase two of light rail. Ottawa has done quite well in federal capital infrastructure programs. Q: Nationally, what do you view as the biggest issues facing Canada, and how do you plan to address them? A: We’ve worked so hard

to balance the budget and everyone has made some sacrifice to achieve it, so now that we’ve balanced it the government can help families and businesses balance theirs. We’ve brought in the TFSA so people can better save for their retirement, we’ve brought in pension splitting for seniors, we’ve reduced the amount that seniors have to take out of their RRIFs each year, and we’ve given families an expanded universal child care benefit. These were all made possible by a balanced budget. I met a family in Metcalfe that said they just finished paying off their credit card debt, and the last thing they’d want to do is start paying debt again. The same is true of governments. We’ve worked hard to eliminate it. Why would we want to go back? Deficits today equal brutal cuts and higher taxes tomorrow.

Meet the Carleton Liberal party candidate: Chris Rodgers

Chris Rodgers of 2006 drew me into political activity in a more serious way. Most recently I volunteered as the outreach chair for the new Carleton Federal Liberal Association. Outside of politics, I have been involved with many community organizations including St. Andrew’s Church in Kars, the United Way and the high school in Metcalfe where Jenny teaches. Q: What is the biggest federal issue facing your riding and how has it been handled to date? How would you approach It? A: What I’m hearing at doors is that middle class folks are finding it harder to make ends

The Manotick News published a series of articles on my business. Now everyone knows how great we are!

I would encourage collaboration with other governments and community partners to revive this engine for economic growth. Q: Nationally, what do you view as the biggest issues facing Canada and how do you plan to address them? A: The issues I hear at the doorstep are similar to the ones heard by my fellow candidates across the country. For instance, I feel that as Canada’s population ages, retirement security is an unavoidable issue. The Conservative government has failed to improve the Canada Pension Plan, the single best tool to save for retirement. Liberals will protect pension splitting and will improve the CPP, ensuring seniors can retire with stability and dignity.

Thirty-eight year old Chris Rodgers, his wife Jenny and 7 month old son Cameron live in Kars. His wife grew up on a farm in Metcalfe. On leave from his job as a policy analyst for the federal government, he has taught at Algonquin College, been a funeral director and is a musician. This is the first time that he has run for federal elected office. Q: Why are you running? A: I’m running because I know we can do better. We can do better for Canada and we can do better for this community. Jenny had been encouraging me to throw my hat in the ring but I always said that I would only consider it if someone approached me to do so unsolicited and in a serious way. Last year a Liberal friend from Stittsville, Heather Walt, did just that. Q: Detail your past political and civic experience or activism (volunteering, campaigning, donations, employment) at any level of government or political party). A: I bought my first Liberal membership in high school but the Liberal leadership race

meet. The Conservative candidate will tell you that fairness is a cheque in the mail for everyone. However, we believe that investments in infrastructure, pension splitting, targeted tax reductions and a new tax-free Canada Child Benefit will help strengthen the middle class and lift our economy out of recession. Q: What are the biggest federal issues affecting the Ottawa region? How will you address them? A: Our region faces many pressing issues including crumbling roads, mistrust toward public servants and a struggling innovation sector. Our Liberal plan is to make an historic $60 billion investment in infrastructure including roads, bridges and water services. Not only will sustainable investments create good paying jobs but also they will improve our environment and quality of life. Our party will trust our hard working public servants, starting with respect for collective bargaining. Finally, our region is losing its edge as a hub for high tech innovation.

Rural residents get a look at federal election candidates Continued from the front

When asked about the government’s apparent loss of belief in the need for science-based research, particularly in rural areas, Poilievre said, “On rural issues, I will tell you something, I’ll be honest with you. I get my information on rural questions from the rural people I represent. I go to legion halls, I go to community centres, I go to county fairs, I go out on farms and I ask people what they think and what they want done, and I act on their values. I don’t need a weak bureaucracy to tell me how it is I represent rural people.” Rodgers was quick to pick up on the negative vibes, noting he would defend supply management. Coyne made a similar promise, adding she would like to see agricultural production grow. Poilievre said his government would expand trade while at the same time “respecting Canadian farmers.” QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

The event was jointly hosted by the Greely Business Association and the Greely Community Association, and according to business association president Leigh Stacey went off without a hitch. “It was a great turnout,” Stacey said. “I think the three candidates did very well.” Bruce Brayman, president of the Greely Community Association and master of ceremonies for the meeting, agreed. “For the most part the candidates were very cordial. We got a lot of positive feedback,” he said. The evening got underway a little after 7 p.m. Each candidate gave a brief description of themselves and a very short explanation of their election platform, and then it was time for prepared questions from the associations. Poilieve said he believed in the three pillars of healthy family, work and community as a recipe for success. Chris Rodgers said he was running because he felt the country and the government running it could do better. He lamented the notion that the sense of

sharing and fairness that was part of the Canadian culture seemed to be fading away. He said he would bring fairness and civility back to the country. Deborah Coyne said the Conservative government was “well past its best-before date,” adding the current government is trying to buy voters support with taxpayers’ money. “We have to make a stand for a better country,” she said, adding that Canada needs a new kind of politics. The questions covered a wide range of topics from income splitting to the environment and supply management, what can be done about the Syrian refugee crises, the lack of science-based research in the country, and pharma-care. The question that touched all of the policies and ideas put forward by all of the candidates was the economy and how to preserve it and grow it without digging the country into a deeper economic hole. Poilievre said his government believed in a pragmatic view, holding the line against what he felt was irresponsible or unwarranted spending or new taxation as much as possible in order to protect Canadian jobs. He had a positive but cautious view of the country’s economic future. Rodgers, however, said he believed the answer to the country’s economic slowdown and the current recession was to kick-start the economy with an infusion of money in an attempt to encourage growth and economic development. Coyne felt that a cautious approach was best and that taking a hard look at what was and what was not working was the answer. Questions about the health of Canada’s health care system and the idea of pharmacare were met with concern by all three candidates who agreed that a balanced budget was the first step towards being able to sustain current and proposed health care programs. Rodgers said collaboration between the federal government and all of the provinces was a first step towards solving health care issues.

Questions about the Senate and what to do about it were asked. Coyne said something had to be done either to abolish the senate or reform it. She felt while federal and provincial input about the Senate was important that Canadians should have the last word not premiers. “The people will get it right,” she said. Poilievre felt that his government had a solid track record of attempting to reform the Senate. All three candidates were unanimous about the need to help more Syrian refugees however Coyne suggested more front line vetting of potential refugees would help speed up the number of refugees who were able to complete the process of coming to Canada, Poilievre was adamant that Canada’s security depended on not moving too quickly in approving every refugee who wanted to come to Canada. Polievre said the country, while helping those in need, had to also focus on the global reality of terrorism that was creating the refugee crises in the first place. “There will be no end to this until we stop ISIL,” said Poilievre. Rodgers was all for speeding up the refugee process and he felt that Canada’s traditional role as a respected and effective peacemaker had been discarded by the current government and that more diplomacy might be the answer to solving global issues. Coyne chided the current government for not acting quickly enough by saying that the crises had been preventable. There was a question about how Canada could maintain a sustainable trade relationship with China while at the same time censuring China for its dismal human rights record. “We need to be able to find a balance between traded and human rights,” said Rodgers. “We have to be seen as the honest broker.” A question about increases in any kind of payroll tax as in unemployment insurance premiums was met with opposing views from candidates. Coyne and Rodgers agreed that a healthy safety net was more important now than ever but Poilievre felt

that any attempt to increase unemployment insurance premiums could result in job losses across the country. “We need a balanced budget and low tax plan,” said Poilievre. Despite a few negative comments about the current government on several issues

from the crowd, Poilievre at no time backed down from his belief that his government was making the correct decisions about the country’s present and future. He stressed to the crowd at the meeting that Canada was, like all other counties in the midst of dealing with turbu-

lent times. Coyne and Rodgers said the current government had destroyed Canada’s tradition of fairness and sharing with their polices over the past decade. An all-candidates meeting is planned for the Manotick Arena on Sept. 26. The meeting will begin at 7 p.m..

Notice of Filing of Addendum Glen Cairn Flood Investigation Environmental Study Report Morrena Road Major Drainage Improvements The City of Ottawa has identified an opportunity to upgrade the Stormwater Major Drainage Network within the Morrena Road area. Work currently identified as part of the project includes re-grading Morrena Road, reconstruction of the Morrena Road roadway structure, installation of an underground stormwater major drainage network and installation of a stormwater management pond adjacent to the Hazeldean Library. Currently, the project is proposed to be constructed in two phases under one contract. Construction Phase 1 is scheduled for spring 2016 with the installation of a stormwater management pond adjacent to the Hazeldean Library. Construction Phase 2 is scheduled for summer 2016 with the installation of an underground stormwater major drainage network, as well as re-grading and reconstruction of the Morrena Road roadway structure. Construction phasing has been developed to mitigate impacts to the daily routine of the Glen Cairn Public School during the active school year. Subject to comments received as a result of this Notice and receipt of necessary approvals, the City of Ottawa intends to proceed with the completion of the detailed design, tendering and construction of this project. In March of 2011, major drainage improvements within the Morrena Road area were approved as part of the Glen Cairn Flood Investigations Environmental Study Report. Due to a change in stormwater conveyance strategy as well as re-grading works along Morrena Road, an addendum to the original Environmental Study Report has been prepared which details the planning process used to identify the preferred Morrena Road major drainage design. The addendum to the Environmental Study Report is available for review at the following location: Ottawa Public Library – Hazeldean Branch 50 Castlefrank Road Ottawa, ON K2L 2N5 Interested persons may provide written comments to the City of Ottawa on the proposed works within 30 calendar days from the date of this notice.

Make sure your vote counts

he Fair Elections Act has made it impossible to vote with just an Elections Canada voter card. The act also introduced uncertainty about what each voter needs to be able to cast a vote. It is exactly that uncertainty that may keep thousands of Canadians home on the couch on voting day. After all, who wants to stand in a line only to be admonished that their ID isn’t up to snuff? It’s exactly that uncertainty a cynic would say the Conservatives sought to introduce with their legislation. The voters most likely to be dissuaded from trying to vote include: • people who have just changed their address (hello students in dorms and off-campus housing). • the homeless – including people who may simply be couch-surfing at friends’ homes due to a temporary hardship. • people on First Nations reserves who may not have acceptable ID, or a need for it outside of voting day. Those categories of wanna-be voters are not amongst those who usually vote Conservative, giving the cynic further reason to doubt the reasons

behind the Conservative legislation. For anyone who isn’t sure if they can vote, the elections.ca website can answer almost any question. And to be doubly sure, one can always visit an advance poll to cast a vote and fix any problems that arise before election day on Oct. 19. There are four advance polls open Oct. 9 to Oct. 12 from noon to 8 p.m. Your advance polling station may be different than your election day station, so check your voter information card or elections. ca.Voting in the upcoming election is important on Oct. 19 to determine the government we get for a few years, but each vote also counts in more subtle ways. Politicians in future elections must weigh the importance of their platform against the demographics. If a segment of the population turns out to vote en masse, their issues are bound to be considered in future elections and in Parliament. It boils down to this: seniors vote, so politicians listen. And young people don’t vote, so their issues can be overlooked. If you feel insignificant in relation to our federal government, you can do something about it by making sure you are eligible to vote and then turning up to cast a ballot.

Signs of summer’s end

ven retired people get dashed up on the rocks of reality at this time of year. Vacations are over, as is the local baseball season, and television commercials proclaim that winter is coming. There are more cars on the road and fewer bicycles. Suddenly you find yourself thinking about Queensway exits again. Which is the one that’s closed? The sudden necessity of being somewhere at a specific time comes as a shock to those who had forgotten about it, which is what summer is for. None of this is new, none of it unexpected; still there are elements of it that are particularly depressing. Such as encountering the display of Halloween candies in the drugstore in the first week of September.

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town Seriously, Halloween? Do we have to think of that already? We can choose not to, of course. We should choose not to, but it’s next to impossible to resist the timetable of commerce. The people who run the stores, who make and sell the Halloween candy, the valentines and the chocolate Easter bunnies have it as their mission to make sure that we focus entirely on the future – on the upcoming festivals of consumerism – rather than on the present.

That makes the present more difficult to enjoy. Since we have spent the summer living in the present, looking no further ahead than the next toasted marshmallow, the adjustment to a future-oriented life is difficult and not all that pleasant either. How much nicer it would be if we were first informed of, say, Halloween on the actual day. “Today is Halloween, buy some candy” the signs in the stores would say. That might cause a momentary panic, but it would spare us the weeks (seven weeks from this writing!) of preparation. Sure the costumes might be a bit primitive, but think of all the other things that could be done in those seven weeks while others are preparing for Halloween. Those of a more practical mindset will undoubtedly argue that people have a deep psychological need to get ready for things. Furthermore, they will say, society depends on it. disTriBuTion inQuiries Richard Burns 613-221-6243 adMinisTraTion: Donna Therien 613-221-6233 display adverTising: Gisele Godin - Kanata - 221-6214 Dave Pennett - Ottawa West - 221-6209 Orleans - 221-6154 Cindy Gilbert - Ottawa South - 221-6211 Carly McGhie - Ottawa East - 221-6154 Geoff Hamilton - Home Builders Accounts Specialist - 221-6215 Valerie Rochon - Barrhaven - 221-6227 Jill Martin - Nepean - 221-6221 Mike Stoodley - Stittsville - 221-6231 Janine Kivell - Ottawa West - 221-6217 Rico Corsi - Automotive Consultant - 221-6224

Which is why snow shovels are on sale now, hockey sticks were on sale in May and why you can’t buy a baseball glove when the World Series is on. That pro-planning view is certainly widespread. But it doesn’t take into account the widespread damage that has been inflicted by our obsession with looking ahead. Speeding is an obvious example; people rushing to get some specific place at some specific time. Distracted driving is another, with people looking at phones rather than the road in order to figure out where they are supposed to be when. Looking ahead is expensive too. Think of the thousands, soon to be millions being spent on 2017, the planned celebration of Canada’s 150th birthday. It would be so much cheaper, and maybe more fun to have someone wake us up on July 1, 2017, saying today is Canada’s 150th, what do you feel like doing?

It wouldn’t be surprising if some of the ideas dreamed up on the day are better than the ones that are years in the planning stage. Meanwhile, a helpful reminder. As soon as the Halloween displays come down at the mall, the Christmas displays go up.

Doug Thompson Pathway honours former councillor COUNCIL KUDOS

Emma Jackson

clear conscience the only complaints I’ve had about the pathway was from the lady that the snowmobiles were going too fast, and that people were walking their dogs and not cleaning up after them,” Thompson said. “I’ve had nothing but tremendous compliments on what a great recreational asset it is. I’m very pleased that it’s come to be much approved by the residents.” He regularly bikes the path himself with his wife Mary Lynn, and he said his only complaint is the fact that there’s nowhere to sit down. He plans to fix that this fall or spring with a donated bench near the half-way point. He thanked residents and his council colleagues for supporting the renaming proposal.

Several of Thompson’s former colleagues took the opportunity on Sept. 9 to thank the Osgoode representative for his “gentle yet persuasive” presence around the council table. “Councillor Thompson had a very respectful way of dealing with his colleagues,” said College Coun. Rick Chiarelli. “His residents were always first for him. He had a very gentle yet persuasive way of bringing issues forward from his ward, which made them seem important to the rest of us.” Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt, who shares a border with Osgoode, praised Thompson’s commitment to the rural voice. “He put in so many years for the Osgoode area and he wore his heart on his sleeve when it came to rural issues affecting his area,” Moffatt said. Mayor Jim Watson also thanked Thompson for his service, noting that he has by no means left public life as he continues to serve with the South Nation Conservation Authority and the International Ploughing Match.

You’d think installing a multi-use pathway to give rural residents a place to run, ski and cycle wouldn’t be a thorny issue, but for former Osgoode Coun. Doug Thompson it was – and now it bears his name. Ottawa Council approved the commemorative renaming proposal for the pathway that runs from Osgoode village through Greely and north to Leitrim Road on Sept. 9, officially honouring the Greely school teacher who served as mayor and councillor in Osgoode for more than 30 years before he retired last November. Thompson said he was “surprised” and “very, very pleased” to be recognized. “I was quite taken aback. I was a bit surprised that people thought enough of me and that this would go forward,” he said. “I really enjoyed my time in politics, I enjoyed working with people and it was a genuine thing and I never did it for personal gratitude or personal recognition.” It’s a bit ironic that new Osgoode Coun. George Darouze chose to have that particular pathway named after his mentor, since it was something of a thorn in Thompson’s side when it was first created in 2011. A small group of Osgoode residents took issue with the suggestion that the former CN railway track would allow snowmobiles in the winter, arguing they would cause speed, noise and safety problems for other users. It quickly became a heated face-off between snowmobile users and one resident in particular, who ended up leaving the village once the city decided to give snowmobilers a chance to prove themselves. “Boy, she was a formidable foe,” Thompson said. “But we took our time, we got the city involved, and the community groups.” He said it’s been very well received ever since. “I can say to you with a

Police won’t be charged in drowning death of murder suspect: SIU Alex Robinson

alex.robinson@metroland.com

The province’s Special Investigation Unit has concluded there is no reason to charge any Ottawa police officers in the drowning death of a murder suspect in the Rideau River in June. Police divers found Muhab Sultan’s body on June 27, a few days after he was seen jumping into the Rideau River after a police chase.

Sultan, 23, was wanted in connection to the June 14 murder of 18year-old Jeremy Cook, in London, Ont. Cook was shot and killed in a parking lot after he used a tracking app to locate his missing cellphone. Sultan had allegedly tried to run over two police officers on bicycles in downtown Ottawa on June 24, police said. One of the officers was hit, but suffered only minor injuries. He then took off in his car. When police caught up with him,

they were able to arrest the passenger in his car, but Sultan ran away on foot. He hid in a shed in a backyard on Marlborough Avenue, until the owner of the property saw him and called police. Sultan then fled again, heading east and jumped into the river. Officers said they heard Sultan’s screams for help and that he was about half way to the other side of the river before he started to have trouble. Officers tried to save him,

but he disappeared under the water, before they could reach him, the SIU said. “They were tantalizingly close to reaching him before he dipped out of sight below the water’s surface,” said Joseph Martino, the acting director of the SIU. “The officers remained in the river for a period of time and dove underwater to search for Mr. Sultan, but the water’s murkiness made the effort a futile one.” Four SIU investigators and a forensic specialist looked into the case

and interviewed six civilian witnesses and four officers. They determined that none of the officers involved in the incident were responsible for Sultan’s death. “In the circumstances, I am satisfied that Mr. Sultan’s death is the product of his own misadventure, and very likely the result of an ill-advised decision to enter the water in an effort to avoid police apprehension – a decision for which he alone is to blame,” Martino said.

NOTICE OF STUDY COMPLETION LEMIEUX ISLAND SHORELINE RESTORATION MUNICIPAL CLASS ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT The City of Ottawa is planning for the restoration of the northwest shoreline on Lemieux Island. Lemieux Island is located in the Ottawa River between Ottawa and Gatineau. It can be accessed through the Rivers Street Bridge from Ottawa. Lemieux Island’s main use is to accommodate one of the City of Ottawa’s Water Purification Plants.

The City of Ottawa (the City) has initiated a Class Environmental Assessment (EA) for improvements to the Lemieux Island Water Purification Plant (WPP) intake. The City operates two WPPs to supply drinking water to the city—the Lemieux Island WPP (capacity of 400 ML/d; built in 1931) and the Britannia WPP (capacity of 360 ML/d; built in 1961). The source water for both plants is the Ottawa River. In the past, the City has had issues at the Lemieux Island WPP, with frazil ice buildup at the intake piping. Frazil ice forms in open, turbulent, supercooled water which is typical of the river conditions near the plant intake. Because of the relatively shallow depth of water above the intake piping, frazil ice builds up below the ice surface and interferes with the flow entering the plant. This frazil ice can block the intake pipe and associated screening, resulting in unplanned WPP shutdowns or significantly restricted plant flows, which put the water supply at risk. The City is currently investigating solutions for improving the intake to mitigate the impacts of frazil ice on the WPP. This study is being conducted in accordance with the requirements of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (2000, amended 2004, 2007 and 2011). The final deliverable for this project will be an environmental assessment report outlining the preferred alternative for modifying the inlet structure to prevent restrictions to the plant intake due to frazil ice. This report will be filed and available for public review for a period of 30 days upon completion. Stakeholder (public and agency) consultation is a key element of the Class EA process. The purpose of this upcoming Public Information Centre is to present the draft recommendation for improving the intake to mitigate the impacts of frazil ice on the WPP. Residents and other interested parties are invited to drop-in anytime during the Public Information Centre for the opportunity for further information about the project and the Environmental Assessment process. Staff from the City and the consulting team will be available to explain the project and answer questions. Project information will be available on the City of Ottawa website (http://ottawa.ca/en/city-hall/public-consultations). A notice of completion will be issued upon close of the project.

The northwest shoreline of the Lemieux Island, adjacent to the lower level parking area, has eroded significantly. The northwest corner of the Island is composed of mostly weak and fragmented limestone, which is causing progressive recession of the shoreline and weakening of several parking lot fence posts which are currently either leaning or have fallen over completely. It is projected that if erosion is allowed to continue, the adjacent green space and parking lot will be impacted. Thus, the City is planning for the restoration of the shoreline to halt and prevent further erosion. This study determined the appropriate strategy for the restoration of the northwest shoreline of Lemieux Island. The study followed an approved planning process under the ‘Municipal Class Environmental Assessment’ document (2007 and 2011, as amended) as a Schedule ‘B’ Project. At this time, the City of Ottawa has decided to carry forward two alternatives for the shoreline protection, Stacked/Terrace Stone Revetment and Riprap Revetment and for the boat launch ramp, Pre-Fabricated Concrete Slab and Concrete Revetment Mats, to allow for flexibility in the detail design. The Project File and Environmental Summary Report are being placed on public record for viewing at the following location: City of Ottawa 100 Constellation Crescent Monday - Friday: 8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Tel: 613-580-2400 Please provide written comments to the City of Ottawa within 30 calendar days from the date of this notice. If concerns regarding this project cannot be resolved in discussion with the municipality, a person may request that the Minister of the Environment and Climate Change make an order for the project to comply with Part II of the Environmental Assessment Act (referred to as Part II Order), which addresses individual environmental assessments. Requests must be made to the Minister at the address below by October 9, 2015. A copy of the request must be copied to the City of Ottawa Project Manager, Gordon Nix. Subject to comments received as a result if this Notice and the receipt of necessary approval and funding, the City of Ottawa intends to proceed with detail design and construction of this project in 2015/2016.

It was a real honour to play a small part in this ceremony and I encourage you to read further in the newsletter to learn more about Stuart and all he has done for our community. It was also an important meeting as the proposal to rename the Osgoode Multi Use Pathway was unanimously supported and will be known as the “Doug Thompson Pathway”. I would like to thank the many residents who submitted their feedback for this proposal and my Council Colleagues for their support in this renaming. Former Councillor Thompson worked very hard to make the Osgoode Multi Use Pathway a reality. I am pleased to see there will now be official recognition of his effort and dedication to this project. I hope all residents will join me in offering our congratulations to both these very deserving recipients.

Past legion president named senior of the year Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

Past president of the Barrhaven legion Ernie Hughes has been named Ottawa’s senior of the year for 2015 after a presentation at city council on Sept. 9. The long-time reservist and Correctional Service Canada employee has been an active member of the Royal Canadian Legion for the past 45 years, most recently as the president of Barrhaven’s Branch 641, which he helped create. One of his crowning achievements in the role was successfully petitioning the city to rename the Strandherd-Armstrong bridge after the First World War battle of Vimy Ridge, which will mark its 100th anniversary in 2017. Hughes worked with legion members in Barrhaven and Manotick to garner public support for the commemorative naming proposal, which the city accepted last summer and made official in November, renaming the span Vimy Memorial Bridge just in time for

Remembrance Day. Every city in Ontario is allowed to honour one outstanding resident each year who has enriched the social, cultural or civic life of his or her community after the age of 65. Hughes told the audience that there are many others who deserve the award much more than him, but he thanked his colleagues and his wife for their support as he has pursued his passion to create a thriving legion in south Ottawa.

Barrhaven Legion past president Ernie Hughes is Ottawa’s 2015 recipient of the Ontario Senior of the Year award, which was presented ahead of city council on Sept. 9. Hughes, a reservist and corrections officer for several decades, is a founding member of Branch 641 in Barrhaven. From left, Coun. Michael Qaqish, Mayor Jim Watson, Ernie Hughes, Coun.

Greely resident Carol Parker has worn many hats: school trustee, Greely Players founder, Osgoode councillor, music teacher. All that on top of her titles as wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend. Parker, 73, was killed in a car crash at Mitch Owens and Albion roads on Sunday, Sept. 6 as she was returning home from visiting her husband in hospital. Two others were taken to hospital in critical condition. South-end residents are reeling from the news, remembering Parker for her leadership, her musicality and her unwavering dedication to the community. “She’s going to be missed by a lot of people and she’s going to be remembered for the contributions she made in a number of areas,” said Lynn Scott, an Ottawa-Carleton District School Board trustee who worked with Parker for three years before Ottawa and Carleton joined boards. “Wherever she was, whatever she was involved in, there was no question Carol was a leader. When she spoke, people listened.” Parker was born Nov. 22, 1941 in Birmingham, England. She moved to Canada with her husband Roy and settled in the Greely area. She was a Carleton District School Board trustee from 1985 to 1997, serving as chairwoman for several years as well. She then ran successfully as one of four councillors in Osgoode Township under the leadership of Mayor Doug Thompson in 1997. “She was very, very dedicated to her work as a trustee and on council,” Thompson remembered. “I can recall she would read her agendas so thoroughly before each meeting and she had written things in. She was very thorough.” He said even after she left public life, she took great interest in the health of the community – sometimes emailing Thompson when she noticed trees down in Andy Shields

Carol Parker was killed in a car crash at Mitch Owens and Albion roads on Sept. 6. The former school board trustee, Osgoode Township councillor and Greely Players founder is being remembered as a passionate advocate for community, education and music. Park or had an issue with dog owners leaving waste on the ground. “(She and her husband) were very community-minded people,” he said. “She was really just a kind, conscientious, dedicated person. She never looked for any personal gain.” In between her public service, Parker also found time to create the Greely Players, a community theatre group that has blossomed into a huge, close-knit family of current and past participants that reaches far outside of Osgoode ward. She developed the theatre out of a small church choir at All Saints Church in 1990, and was the group’s first president. She stayed on the executive until 1997 and produced 10 musicals, doubling as vocal director for Sound of Music, South Pacific, Peter Pan and Camelot. Current president Holly Villeneuve first met Parker as a small child through her church, where Parker noticed Villeneuve’s keen interest in music. “She told me as soon as I started reading she would teach me to play piano. And she went as far as buying me little books to practice reading,” Villeneuve

said. As a piano teacher and producer for the theatre group, Parker was no softie; Villeneuve said she encouraged her charges to reach for the top. “She knew what she wanted out of you and she pushed you hard for excellence, to make you better,” Villeneuve said. Parker encouraged her students to attend the arts program at Canterbury High School and to pursue all avenues of art, Villeneuve added. As a trustee, Parker also fought to keep music alive in the education system. “She was a strong advocate for making sure that we didn’t forget about the arts in education - and her concept of the arts was not confined to instrumental music,” said Scott. “She was the kind of person who never lost sight of the ultimate goal, which was a rewarding and rich educational experience for all of our kids.” A memorial for Parker was held Sept. 12 at St. Columba Anglican Church. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to The Primate’s World Relief and Development Fund at pwrdf.org or a charity of your choice.

Does this illness limit your activities? I can’t participate in gym class at school and I can’t play soccer but I have other activities that I am dedicated to. I have sailing, horseback riding and skiing. I won’t stop moving because I have arthritis.

What do you say to other kids when they ask why you can’t participate at school? I just explain that I have a medical condition. Sometimes bad things happen to people that means they can’t do everything but I can do other activities, so it’s okay.

What do you want to be when you grow up? I’ve been inspired by my time at CHEO so I’d like to be a doctor. It would be wonderful to take care of people less fortunate than me. If my arthritis isn’t too bad I would very much like to make other people feel better.

Why should people support the Dream of a Lifetime Lottery? So kids can have a brighter future. They should be able to fulfill their dreams and shouldn’t be stopped because they have a medical condition.

Run-down parks can now access development cash Fears regular maintenance budget will be slashed Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

Despite Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper’s best efforts, the city will now let councillors use their ward accounts to renew and repair existing parks instead of create new ones. Each ward across the city has a cash-in-lieu account that gets filled up as developers build in their wards. While the city’s first choice is to have the developers install new parks to accommodate residential growth, sometimes that’s not always possible – particularly downtown, where there’s little room for new green space. In those cases, the builder can instead pay cash in lieu of parkland. Sixty per cent of the payment is given to the ward account, which the councillor controls. The other 40 per cent goes into a citywide account to fund larger

projects like the Lansdowne redevelopment. Until now, the cash-in-lieu money could only be used to expand or create new park facilities, not to repair or renew existing ones. But in a policy review earlier this spring, staff said adding this kind of lifecycle repair would give councillors the flexibility to more quickly address problems with aging infrastructure in their neighbourhoods – especially if the park in question was far down the waiting list for regular budgetary funding. That sparked a debate between councillors who believe strongly that repairs and maintenance should come from taxpayer dollars – Leiper, Somerset Coun. Catherine McKenney, Capital Coun. David Chernushenko and College Coun. Rick Chiarelli were among the most vocal – and those who wanted the flexibility to take care of repairs more efficiently if they so choose. LACK OF SUPPORT

Leiper said his downtown parks can barely support their existing communities, let alone the thousands of new residents who are moving into new con-

dos and infill throughout his ward. “We’re diverting money meant to mitigate development and growth, and instead using it to backstop repairs,” Leiper said. He argued that park maintenance is a “municipal necessity” that should be funded through the tax-supported budget. Chiarelli was less diplomatic. “Committee was sent out to buy some groceries and came back with a bag of magic beans,” Chiarelli said. “Cash-inlieu (payments) are a consolation prize. We require developers to give us parks … or to instead give us money so we can add to our inventory of parkland and park facilities. It was never meant to be a secondary source of our maintenance funds.” The concern is that staff will now have an excuse to strip down the city’s already meagre parks maintenance budget and tell councillors to use up their cash-in-lieu accounts for maintenance first. City treasurer Marian Simulik denied this possibility, noting that maintenance and renewal priorities are decided separately from cash-in-lieu requests. “We would not build into the budget an assumption that

a piece of work was going to be funded by the cash-in-lieu account in the ward,” Simulik said. Any lifecycle projects done through a ward’s development accounts would be a bonus, and would simply free up space on the waiting list to potentially get other projects done faster too, she added. Mayor Jim Watson supported adding lifecycle repairs to the policy, on the grounds that it gives councillors more choice. “It’s perfectly reasonable, and perfectly permissible under provincial law, to allow you that

flexibility,” Watson told council on Sept. 9 before they voted on a motion from Leiper to remove repairs from the policy. “For those who do not support this, the answer is simple: don’t use it for lifecycle. Just say to your community that, on principle, you won’t use it for that.” Leiper’s motion was defeated five to 18. Another motion from Rideau-Rockcliffe Coun. Tobi Nussbaum was deferred to the larger budget debate expected later this fall. Nussbaum wanted to change how two temporary park planners are paid from the cash-in-

lieu program. Right now every project over $100,000 skims 10 per cent of the project cost from the ward account toward the planners’ salaries. Nussbaum wanted their salaries to be instead taken out of the citywide account off the top every year, to make it more equitable between wards and to offer some predictability for staffing and budgeting. Staff have made it clear that the current staffing model is causing problems, because it’s hard to attract and retain talent with temporary positions.

Sens ball hockey delivery ‘like Christmas’ at O-YA Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

are proud to announce

Julie Chartand

Emma Jackson/METROLAND

Members of O-YA gather around Ottawa Senators staff Matt Wason and Jason Radski as they distribute hockey equipment. shod at best; most of it was donated when the youth association opened in the old Osgoode fire station in 2002 – and it was already second-hand at that time. “It’s in really, really rough shape,” said McKerracher. There weren’t enough sticks to go around, either, and only two for lefties. “This means more kids can play, and they can all play at the same time.” The equipment delivery is one of 35 the Ottawa Senators hope to complete by the end of the 2015-2016 season next April. The ball hockey gear will go to community centres and other facilities that are fostering a love for the sport in kids. “It’s meant to get sticks in the hands of the kids, and if they like it we’ll try to get them into ice hockey equipment,” Wason said. McKerracher said it’s already working for her 25 participants – including her own son. “Aidan has mild cerebral palsy, so it’s been really hard for him to learn how to skate,” she said. But, of course, “he is obsessed with hockey, so with a program like

this, he can play every day.” Thank goodness, because he scored on MacLaurin almost immediately – and then busted out what was obviously a well-oiled victory dance. Twenty-one deliveries were carried out across Ottawa and Gatineau last school year, and there’s room for 14 more before the end of next April.

CARRIER OF THE MONTH!

“It’s like Christmas!” “It’s beautiful!” “Like a diamond in the sky!” Excitement at the Osgoode Youth Association reached levels like that of the Stanley Cup finals on Sept. 9 when two Ottawa Senators staff delivered a truck load of street hockey equipment for the centre’s after school homework club. Boys and girls clustered around the Sens Army pick-up truck as Matt Wason, co-ordinator for the Sens’ fan and community development program, and intern Jason Radski pumped up the crowd with questions about how much they all love hockey. And then Wason opened the back seat of the truck, sending the kids into a frenzy as he passed armloads of goalie pads, hockey sticks, helmets and balls into quivering open arms. It didn’t take long for the kids to break into their new goodies; Osgoode Public School student William MacLaurin, who had been playing goalie while they waited for the Sens reps, could be seen ripping off his beat-up pads and strapping on the shiny new ones just moments after they came off the truck. And a flurry of hockey sticks fanned out across the parking lot as kids set up a proper game of shimmy – and Wason issued a halfjoking reminder about the penalties for highsticking. Wason and Radski stuck around to play pick-up while O-YA director Nicole McKerracher watched the fun from the sidelines. She said the new equipment is a huge gift for such a dedicated group of street hockey players. “They love playing hockey, they play every day,” she said. “It doesn’t matter what the weather is, they’ll shovel off the driveway after a huge snowstorm to play.” The centre’s existing equipment is rough-

Yellow means hello at Carleton’s new friendship bench Metro Ottawa

Most strangers sitting on a bench reading a book probably want to be left alone – but sitting on Carleton University’s new friendship bench is an open door for a friendly chat. Another bench added to the campus quad seems ordinary, but Sam Fiorella thinks this one could save a life. Fiorella unveiled the bench Sept. 2 in memory his son, Lucas Fiorella, a second year robotics student at Carleton who died by suicide in October 2014. “In the aftermath of that we had a lot of students reach out to us, saying ‘You need to know something about your son,’” he said. The students who called him wanted to let him know that even while Lucas was suffering in silence, he was assisting others in getting help for their mental health issues. “Many people have told us that he saved them from taking their own life. He couldn’t ask for help himself but he was reaching out to others, so those stories inspired us,” he said. Fiorella started the Friendship Bench non-profit to encourage people to support each other and talk about mental health on school campuses. “We created the friendship bench as a visual reminder to students on college campuses to talk to each other, the way that my son talked

to others,” said Fiorella. “The bench being a place where people can stop and sit together.” Lucas’s sister Vanessa and mother Susan where also at Carleton to see the first bench unveiled. Carleton is the first school to receive one, but soon the benches will be at Niagara College, Holy Trinity High School and Simon Fraser University. Fiorella is hoping eventually every college and university in Canada will have one.

Would you like to swallow 20 pills every day, just to digest your food? If you had cystic fibrosis, you’d have no choice.

Please help us.

The plan will include options to service the growing communities of Riverside South and Leitrim, the Airport and adjacent lands, new stations at Gladstone Avenue and Walkley Road and a relocated station at Confederation Heights on the existing Trillium Line. The plan also allows for future conversion to electric light rail transit (LRT) technology. The Process The environmental impact of this transit project is being assessed according to the Transit Project Assessment Process (TPAP) as prescribed in Ontario Regulation 231/08. As part of the TPAP, an Environmental Project Report (EPR) is being prepared to document the planned project and all anticipated environmental impacts. Consultation Members of the public, agencies and other interested persons are encouraged to participate actively in the Transit Project Assessment Process by contacting staff directly with information, comments or questions. Information about the progress of the project to date is available on the City’s website at ottawa.ca/trilliumline.

ew buggies came in our long lane that caused more excitement for me than the one bringing the old man who came to sharpen our knives. Everything about him was different from any other visitor to our farm out in Northcote. You could hear him before you saw him. He had a rack attached to the dashboard of the buggy, and it held a row of bells, which he pounded, one after the other all the way in the lane and right into our yard. As soon as our old dog Sport heard the bells, he ran to the cow byre and hid in the hay. Mother said it was the old man’s way of letting us know he was coming, and gave her time to redd up the knives in the kitchen. Father thought paying good money for sharpening knives was a complete waste, since he could do just as good a job with the whit stone. “Can you cut a piece of paper with the knives you sharpened?” Mother would ask. For that, Father had no answer. The old man steered the buggy right over to the watering trough so his horse could have a drink while he worked. He hopped down, went to the back of the buggy, and took out a small stand and a little stool, nodded in my direction and got right down to the business of sharpening knives. Mother had arrived at the spot with a kitchen tray, and every knife we owned. The contraption that did the work had a stone wheel, which sat in a little basin, and this he filled with water from the watering trough. A belt went from the wheel down to a wood pedal and once he sat on the threelegged stool and placed a foot

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories

on the pedal, he worked it up and down just like Mother did on the treadle Singer sewing machine. The wheel went at a great clip spitting out water in every direction. One after another the old man took a knife from the tray, held it to the stone, and stuff flew off the wheel, water spewed out from the basin, and before long the old man’s front was soaked to the skin. He stopped only long enough to get more water from the trough for the job at hand. He had a stump of a cigar in his mouth, and never once did I see him put a match to it. I was just as fascinated with the cigar as I was with the knife sharpener, because even though it wasn’t lit, it was obvious to me that he was chewing it. Because every once in a while, he would let go with a spit that arched in the air and landed about four steps away. I marveled at such a talent for spitting, and watched as the stub of his cigar got smaller and smaller until there was nothing left but one final spit. Why he didn’t sever off a finger was beyond me. He wore no gloves, but held the blade of the knife heavy against the whirling wheel, turning it often to do both sides. When he got it to his liking, he took a sheet of newspaper from the ground; obviously there for just such a purpose, and with one fell-swoop, he

sliced the paper with the newly sharpened knife. I was very impressed! Father still questioned the wisdom of spending money on something he would easily do for nothing. That is until the day the old man picked up an old rusted and weather beaten axe leaning against the pump platform. He put the handle over his shoulder, and pressed the blade of the axe hard against the spinning wheel. Within minutes it was as shiny as a night star, and took the paperslicing job as easily as did the knives from the kitchen. Father wandered over from the barn. “Well, I’ll be darned,” he said. Mother paid the old man 10 cents for every knife he honed, and he told Father, “The axe is on the house,” whatever that meant. Never again did Father complain about the old man who came once or twice a year to sharpen our knives. In fact, he always made sure one of our axes, badly in need of a sharpening, was leaning against the pump platform in wait.

SENS EXTRA Hometown Tour

Record turnout at Sens summer hockey camps

connects Sens with their fans adam.kveton@metroland.com

The Ottawa Senators are hoping their pre-season tour around eastern Ontario and western Quebec gets the team off to a good start this year after fostering a greater connection between players and fans. For the second year, a group of Senators took to the road to sign autographs and meet fans in 12 different communities, ranging from Gatineau to Kingston, and including locations in Gloucester, Nepean and Carleton Place. The free Hometown Tour events included interactive hockey-themed games such as mini stick, ball hockey matches and a shot speed and accuracy tester, in addition to autographs from Senators players for 200 fans per event. This year’s events were a hit with more than 5,000

people attending, and 10 of 12 locations dolling out all 200 signatures, said Aaron Robinson, the team’s director of fan and community development. “The reception we received in all of the markets that we went to with the players and the interactive games and such was tremendous and made us really realize the impact that the team has in the community and how much they are appreciated by the fans,” said Robinson. Some of the best moments for players and fans alike were when they took part in hockeythemed games, said Robinson, with players such as Kyle Turris and Patrick Wiercioch taking some time to participate in a ball hockey or mini stick game. Beyond playing with fans during the Hometown Tour, the Senators are looking to get even more involved in encour-

In mid-August, the Senators launched the Grow the Game minor hockey program, which is a response to minor hockey registration numbers remaining stagnant for several years. In an effort to change that, the team, along with Hockey eastern Ontario and Hockey Outaouais, plan new programs that will provide less expensive and less time-consuming opportunities

for children to try hockey. One of the biggest new programs is called Learn to Play Hockey, and will feature 10 weeks of hockey instruction for $99, said Robinson. The introductory program is at the Richcraft Sensplex in east Gloucester. While the team hopes to expand its Grow the Game initiative in future years, Robinson said the team is reviewing their Hometown Tour events before committing to another year. “We’d love to do it again,” he said.

we were able to offer three additional weeks of camps featuring our most popular programs in July at the Richcraft Sensplex, which in turn contributed to a significant increase in enrollment.” Ottawa Senators Summer Hockey Camps offer participants unique Sens experiences, including appearances by NHL players, prospects and Sens alumni, in addition to off-ice hockey specific training by Senators’ strength and conditioning coach Chris Schwarz and his FitQuest team. “As a season-seat member with the Senators, our initial attraction to the Ottawa Senators Summer Hockey Camps was the Senators experience,” said Scott Scarrow, whose son Weston has taken part in four camp sessions to date. “We returned for our third year in a row this summer, because of the quality of the camp. The staff is great and the on-ice instruction continues to be excellent.” This year, the camps drew participants from across Canada, the U.S. and from as far away as South Korea.

Nearly 2,500 minor hockey players took part in 63 camps over nine weeks, Capital Sports Management Inc. (operator of the Bell, Cavanagh and Richcraft Sensplex facilities) has announced, setting a record for the number of minor hockey players who took part in Ottawa Senators Summer Hockey Camps. Over the nine week period starting July 6, nearly 2,500 participants laced-up their skates to take part in a record 63 separate camps at the Richcraft Sensplex (972 campers) in Ottawa’s east end, as well as in the west-end of the city at the Bell Sensplex (1,468 campers) and Cavanagh Sensplex (36 campers). After a successful 2014 season with 1,632 participants enrolled in Ottawa Senators Summer Hockey Camps, the program saw a 52 per cent increase in enrollment in 2015 making it the most successful summer in its history. “For the past 11 years, our goal has been to deliver exceptional summer hockey camps that push elite players to their limits while helping beginners learn the fundamentals of the game,” said Andy Bryan, CSMI’s director of hockey programs. “And with access to three state-of-the-art facilities for the duration of the summer,

Of ghosts and happy memories at the end of summer The Accidental Farmwife unchecked, from my mouth. As I looked through photos today another incident came to mind where his presence felt very real. In 2009, the Farmer and I were experiencing summer as recreational boat owners. The smell of the boat fuel, the water, the sun on skin - and watching my husband standing at the wheel with the wind in his hair just brought so many memories of Dad rushing back. I closed my eyes and stirred up the sight of him perched on the top of the Captain’s chair, cigarette in hand.  We went out on the Rideau Lakes, Dad’s charts in hand. My father had marked his favourite

swimming holes and places to stop for lunch, in his script, right on the map. His spirit was so strong with us that day.  When we pulled in to the locks at the Narrows, I noticed an older man, tanned to leather-brown, wearing boat shoes, worn shorts and a gold chain. We met eyes and smiled as I excused myself to step past him on the dock. He perched on the edge of the picnic table.  A few minutes later we were standing at the locks. The tanned man leaned over the locks as the boats slowly rose to the surface, chatting with the boaters, asking them about their boats and where they were from.  It didn’t register with me at first

He used to tease me that I wasn’t a real Leeson because I get seasick on most boats. As summer wound down he would spend every available moment on the water.

but when the man suddenly appeared at my side to casually comment on the weather, the memory of my father hit me like a wave. He WAS my father for a moment. I dissolved into a heap, unable to control my tears. I remember stepping back, away from the water’s edge as my husband’s arms enfolded me. I think the Farmer whispered an apology to the confused man. I don’t remember much else about that day. I think I sheepishly smiled and waved at the man as we left in our boat but I can’t be sure. On second glance, he didn’t really look much like Dad after all. But there was just something about him.  I like to think Dad was there that day to share the boating experience with me one more time. I have a photo of my Dad, not a very flattering one but he’s in his favourite summer uniform: boat shoes and shorts, barechested and leather-tanned. Today on his birthday, I’m wear-

They come so easily, even after seven years! When we lost Dad, a friend who had lost her husband 3 years earlier said it wasn’t getting any easier for her. I remember thinking at the time, I hope the searing pain subsides a bit but I was also very afraid of the memory of my father becoming dull and fading away. I want to keep him with me, always. He was such a strong force in all of our lives and a part of me feels a little lost and confused without him here. The memory, energy or spirit of Dad, whatever it is, has come back to me vividly since he passed. At first it was in dreams. Often I hear his voice in my head. Sometimes his cuss words or inappropriate sayings spill,
