Greely arena put on ice

Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

News - Dreams of a new ice pad and recreational complex in Greely have

turned out to be just that. Power Play Sports president Alain Landriault said he cancelled an agreement to purchase a 2.4-hectare parcel of land from Sunset Lakes developer Dan Anderson and turn it into a sports complex after planning delays took the contract past its deadline. “The terms in the agreement were about an eightmonth window,” Landriault said. “The dates had come and gone and I was will-

ing to sit it out a bit longer, but it never materialized.” The two developers agreed last September that Anderson would sell Landriault the parcel at the corner of Parkway Road and Bank Street to build a private recreational complex incorporating a twinpad arena, an indoor soccer/ultimate Frisbee field, a fitness facility as well as office space, classrooms and a restaurant. Landriault said he hasn’t ruled out building the complex in the future, but he wasn’t willing to sit on the stalled agreement. “As a corporation I needed to make a decision whether I sit on this indefinitely or move on to other projects for now,” he said. The agreement stipulated that Landriault wouldn’t buy the arena land until Anderson had completed his rezoning process for the entire 16-hectare campus, which is deemed Greely’s village centre.

Power Play Sports cancels agreement after planning delays

Residential addition causes planning delays in village centre Continued from page 1

by a company called the Otis Group. “When the Otis proposal went through, it basically took the anchor, the grocery store, and we had to make a decision whether to fight their application or adapt,� Anderson said. “So we elected to do a redesign.�

Anderson wants to change the site from entirely commercial to a mix of commercial and residential uses – a decision he made last fall when the city approved zoning for a large commercial development at Mitch Owens Road and Bank, planned

northern corner. But Anderson said he won’t submit the necessary applications until the city agrees in principal to support his plan. “We just didn’t want to be sent on a wild goose chase,� he said. Landriault said he would like to revisit his proposal in Greely if Anderson is able to uphold his planning requirements to make the sale. “I told him, ‘Let’s just terminate the agreement for now and then once you’ve gotten your things sorted out we’ll start from square one,’� Landriault said. The investor has already entered into a new conditional land agreement in McNab-Braeside west of Ottawa to build a similar recreational complex. But Landriault said that doesn’t mean Greely will be left behind.

At the time, Anderson decided to add 65 small bungalows along the man-made lake in Water’s Edge while locating about half the originally planned commercial development along Bank. At the same time, he moved the recreational facility lands from the south end of the complex to the busier

City gives anti-landfill group another $25,000

COMMUNITY news

R0012850426-0918

R0012896177

News -The city is bolstering a community effort to fight a proposed landfill in Carlsbad Springs to the tune of $25,000. The recent top-up in a grant city council gave to Capital Region Citizens Coalition for the Protection of the Environment brings the total funding to $75,000 of taxpayers’ dollars. The money allows the group to hire experts in hydrogeology, biology and other fields to review environmental assessment documents – something members would be hard-pressed to do on their own, said Susanne Langlois, president of the group. “I’m up against Goliath here,” she said. Langlois recently brought a copy of the draft environmental assessment with her to a meeting of the agriculture and rural affairs committee. The voluminous tome, commissioned by the proponent of the waste facility, Taggart-Miller, filled six large binders with dense technical information. Being able to spend some of the initial $50,000 the city gave to the group allowed it to hire an expert who flagged a major discrepancy in the data regarding how long it would take water to penetrate the bedrock. While Taggart-Miller’s consultants estimated 500 years, the CRCCPE’s consultant said the calculations used were flawed, meaning the water

could reach the bedrock in 50 years. “There are a heck of a lot of assumptions and no data to back them up,” Langlois said. “I wouldn’t be able to do this without this money.” The group has also fundraised about $10,000 on its own, Langlois said. Having another set of experts arguing against the landfill is in the city’s best interests, said Cumberland Coun. Stephen Blais, who opposes having the facility in his ward. City staff has also raised questions about the analysis of air quality in the draft environmental assessment, as well as soil issues that would affect the groundwater, so providing additional funds for other experts to help bolster those arguments is a good way to oppose the dump. Landfills are a different beast than other types of development, such as a building or industrial facility, Blais said. Being able to effectively par-

posing the Carlsbad Springs landfill and recycling centre, did not respond to a request for comment about the intervener funding. The reason Capital Region Citizens Coalition for the Protection of the Environment didn’t get the full $75,000 in intervener funding right away was due to concerns raised by staff and politicians about how past groups in West Carleton and Navan used the money the city gave them,

ticipate in the process is much more difficult for average residents who don’t have the technical background, he said. West Carleton-March Coun. Eli El-Chantiry, whose residents also got intervener funding to fight a proposed landfill expansion in Carp in the past, said the money helps groups get on more equal footing with landfill proponents.

Blais said. Money was being used for public relations and promotions, including messaging opposing the city, El-Chantiry said. He said the city learned its lesson and used more specific wording in the city-council motion and funding agreement needed to make the money available. The money must be used to conduct technical reviews and for educational purposes – not for public relations. The initial $50,000 for the Carlsbad group came from the waste reserve fund, while the additional $25,000 was allocated from the city’s account for unforeseen expenses.

Community rallies behind Greely family after son injured

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News - The afternoon that David Muzaliwa was supposed to show up for work and never arrived, Jilleen Niles was worried sick. “He was (usually) prompt, he was reliable, he was 15 minutes early for his shift,� said Niles, kitchen manager of Corner Bar & Grill in the Glebe where Muzaliwa was a line cook. She called and messaged him on Twitter, but to no avail. It wasn’t until the following morning that she received the grim news about her friend in a phone call from a social worker at the Civic campus of the Ottawa Hospital. The avid runner had been accidentally hit by a vehicle the previous afternoon on Aug. 20 at the corner of Bank Street and Heron Road while doing his usual afternoon training run. Niles listened in shock as the social worker said they needed to connect with Muzaliwa’s family, who still did not know their loved one had suffered a critical head injury. “I started crying,� said Niles, who helped the hospital contact the family. Since then, she has been hoping and praying for her friend’s recovery, but also raising funds to help Muzaliwa and his family through such a difficult time. Muzaliwa’s mother and father, who live with their two teenage daughters in Greely, went to their son’s bedside as soon as they learned the news. Both parents have since given up their jobs – his mother worked at Tim Hortons in Greely while his father was a truck driver in the United States – in order to help their son in his recovery. With that in mind and knowing

raiser helped pay for Muzaliwa’s last month of rent at his Alta Vista apartment, and to help move his belongings back to his family’s home in Greely. But it will be some time before he is able to leave the hospital, though he has been beating the odds so far. For the first 10 days following the accident, the 27-year-old remained in critical condition. His brain was so badly swollen doctors had to remove part of his

ROSSS doubles attendance at third-annual Walk of Care Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

News - A little rain couldn’t dampen the spirits of those marching in support of the Rural Ottawa South Support Services on Saturday, Sept. 6. The community support agency more than doubled its attendance over last year

The event raised nearly $6,000. “Despite the rain we had great attendance and a lot of smiling faces,” Rock said. “We’re right on track for our goal, as we wanted to raise $5,000. We did that and then some.” The morning event began with a warm-up lead by Nepean-Carleton MP Pierre

at the third-annual Walk of Care, a five-kilometre trek along the Osgoode multi-use pathway to raise money for programs at the rural charity. More than 60 people took part in the walk, according to community outreach manager Courtney Rock, spanning the age spectrum from infants to senior citizens.

Poilievre. After the walk, Junkyard Symphony performed while participants enjoyed a catered lunch. About $2,000 of the proceeds will be split between a number of local churches, who took part in the walk and raised money for the event. “Since ROSSS is a community support agency, we’re

able to partner with other community groups and help them raise money as well,” Rock said. “It was nice to see the community come together for this. Many of the churches, many of their members, use the ROSSS services or know someone who uses the ROSSS services.” The remaining $4,000 will

be used for ROSSS programming like its diners’ club, seniors’ outings and respite care. ROSSS is located in Dickinson Square in Manotick. The non-profit, charitable organization was created in the spring of 2011 when Rideau Community Support Services and the Osgoode Home Support Program merged.

Cycling with caution

T

he death of a cyclist in an Ottawa charity bike ride on Sept. 6 has sparked a flurry of discussion concerning bike safety. Laurie Strano, 40, was killed in a crash with a garbage truck on River Road, south of Manotick, while participating in the fifth-annual Ride the Rideau, a fundraiser for cancer research run by the Ottawa Hospital Foundation. It’s still too early to make any decisions about the future of the event, as Ottawa police are still investigating the crash, Tim Kluke, president and CEO of the Ottawa Hospital Foundation said during a Sept. 8 press conference. But there are a few obvious considerations about the event, which should already be under discussion. First, the route: event organizers might want to consider a different location for the event, one that is further removed from traffic speeding along at 80 kilometres an hour and sometimes greater speeds. River Road only has two vehicle lanes and no designated bicycle lane, making it a tight fit

between cyclists and passing cars. It only takes one distracted moment, either on the part of the motorist or the cyclist, for a collision to occur. Ride the Rideau already has a number of safety measures in place: police were contracted to work several intersections to watch over a portion of the ride – but they were located north of where the crash occurred. The foundation’s safety measures included some 300 volunteers, many of whom acted as ride-along guides, and eight police officers. Part of the problem lies squarely in the lap of the cyclists, suggested several of the participants of the event on the Ride the Rideau Facebook page. One competitor said he saw several competitors “blow right through� four way stops. Others complained about the fact the event went on despite rainfall in the morning. But even if organizers were unable to change the behaviour of cyclists, Ride the Rideau would become a much safer event if organizers simply selected a different route.

Becoming alarmed by the silence

A

car alarm went off the other day in the neighbourhood. It didn’t last long, just six honks. Car alarms used to go on for hours, or so it seemed. This one was, however briefly, unnerving and annoying, but – the thought suddenly occurred – it was rare. Yeah: we don’t hear them that much anymore. For which we can be grateful. It wasn’t long ago the peace of the evening was frequently broken by the steady honking of a distressed automobile, waiting, as we all were, for its owner to do something about it. Not to look a gift horse in the mouth, but it’s interesting to know why all that should suddenly cease. Looking for an answer, you type a couple of phrases into Google, where

you find at first a lot of complaints about car alarms going off and disturbing the peace. Significantly, most of these complaints are from 10 years ago or more. You also find some statistics about false alarms. More than 90 per cent of car alarms are false, it says – you and I caused them by sitting on the car keys, or a bird caused them by flying too close. You also find some other people who have noticed the same phenom-

enon about fewer car alarms going off. Some speculate that car alarm technology has improved – in other words that birds and specks of dust and clouds passing overhead don’t set the horn to honking any more. Technology has made a difference in another way as well. Cars, we learn, are harder to steal, mostly due to innovations that have nothing to do with alarms. Newer cars are built with systems that keep them from starting unless the driver uses a key recognized by the built-in computer. And there’s tracking technology available too. Because of this some manufacturers have stopped putting noise-making alarms on their cars. So maybe there are fewer cars with alarms, and maybe fewer people are trying to steal the cars.

bear out this last point. It’s intriguing what you can find out just looking for a couple of facts about car alarms. What you find out, courtesy of The Economist, is that crime has been in a steady decline all around the world since the 1950s, and nowhere is this more evident than in the area of automobile theft. In New York, the annual number of car thefts has dropped by 93 per cent over the past 20 years. In England and Wales, 400,000 cars were reported stolen in 1997; in 2012, the number was just 86,000. Who says there’s no good news in the paper? Certain questions remain. Can we really believe that the welcome silence in our neighbourhoods is solely due to a world-wide trend away from grand theft auto? What about the well-grounded suspicion that most car alarms are set off by law-abiding people doing something silly with their car keys?

One possible explanation is that manufacturers have made car keys more idiot-proof. The other possible explanation is that we have made ourselves more idiot-proof. Could that be true? If so, a celebration is in order. Just don’t honk your horn.

Farewell gala raises $26,000 for care centre News - After 31 years of service, it was time for residents, past colleagues and family members to give Osgoode Coun. Doug Thompson some attention of his own. More than 200 people gathered at the Greely Community Centre on Sept. 6 for a farewell gala as Thompson gears up for retirement this fall. The fundraising event supported the Township of Osgoode Care Centre – a facility Thompson helped create more than 25 years ago, and one he still serves as a member of the board. The event raised about $26,000 for the long-term care facility, according to organizer Wendy Hill. The evening was one of many surprises – including an appearance from Thompson’s all-time favourite singer, “Elvis Presley.� Outside, the community centre lawn was decorated with Thompson’s old election signs, as well as Thompson’s beloved van, which for years has used its distinct decor to announce Thompson’s arrival at hundreds of community events. Inside, a colourful display of Thompson’s many hats – literally and figuratively – as well as dozens of T-shirts, plaques and certificates helped guests look back at the councillor’s broad involvement in Osgoode township and beyond. The 68-year-old began his political career as a councillor in Osgoode township before becoming mayor and then joining Ottawa’s city council after amalgamation in 2000. His friend Al Page was master of ceremonies for the event, which Page promised would be modelled on Thompson’s core political belief: “If you can get someone else to toot your own horn, the sound carries twice as far,� Page joked. Other speakers also poked fun at Thompson’s storied career. Mayor Jim Watson told of Thompson’s city-wide fame for never missing a free meal, and Rideau-Goulbourn Scott Moffatt – only 33 – noted that Thompson has basically been in office for Moffatt’s entire life. But the night offered heartfelt moments, too. “He’s in it for the right reasons,� Watson said. “You can never question his motives. He

puts the interests of his constituents first and foremost. He brings that calm, steely voice of reason to the council table ... and if he doesn’t agree, he’ll tell you. “Thank you for your leadership and your friendship,� he said. It didn’t take long for the speeches and jokes to give way to dancing – led by Thompson himself alongside the king of rock and roll. Stopping short of taking over

the microphone, Thompson led lady after lady onto the dance floor, including his wife Mary Lynne, daughter Angela, assistant Jenn Johnson, and long-time friend Dorothy Wynn, whose son he taught in Grade 2. By the time he was ready to make his speech, Thompson had gathered his children and wife around him for support. He brought all of his family members to the front so his guests could thank them for the

sacrifices they made while he served the township. “I think it’s important (my family) understands that the sacrifices they gave, over time, have opened up opportunities for so many people,� Thompson said. “It’s important you are here tonight to see the things you gave up were not given up in vain.� His daughter Angela summed up the family’s tearful response. “After 30 years in politics, we are so happy to take you back.�

WINNING…

THE REALITY IS,

YOU’RE HELPING CHEO On August 4, 2013 the Laviolette family was enjoying a fun day on the water when disaster struck. Brad was tubing behind the boat when he fell off and was thrown toward the back of the boat. “He told us that he could see it all happening before him. Brad said that the propeller was coming straight for his stomach. He was strong enough to push away but the propeller hit both his legs,” says dad Rob with emotion in his voice. Brad was wearing a wet suit which was fortunate for him as it was able to hold his legs in place. Sadly, the propeller severed both his legs and one tibia and he needed to be airlifted to CHEO. Surgeons worked hard to save his legs. He lost 80 percent of his right quadricep muscle and required intensive physiotherapy to help him heal and get mobile again. Brad is a true superhero! He spent two and half months at CHEO and it was not an easy road but he was a fighter. He began in a wheelchair, graduated to a walker, then crutches and today is standing tall and proud walking on his own two feet unassisted. What true determination! He’s had multiple surgeries, had a bone infection that required six months of antibiotics and yet this 17-year-old is still smiling. In a recent radio interview

Brad commented on the staff at CHEO. “Doctor Kontio, the nurses on the fifth floor and child life specialist Heather were all so great to me,” said Brad. “I’ve been fully supported by my family as well.” “I refer to Bradley as my superhero. His father and I are so proud of him for all he has overcome,” says mom Manon. “Our entire family has been so impressed with the staff at CHEO; from doctors to custodians. We were informed at every step what was happening with Bradley. The compassion and understanding from all the staff was really comforting.” The Laviolette family knows all too well that no one knows when they’ll need CHEO. By supporting the Dream of a Lifetime Lottery you make it possible for the staff at CHEO to do their job…saving the lives of children and youth. Just ask Brad.

WE ARE SO GRATEFUL TO THE TRAUMA TEAM, REHAB TEAM, AND THE FIFTH FLOOR STAFF WHO TOOK CARE OF HIM. THEY SAVED MY SON’S LIFE AND HIS LEGS!

Shingle sale to raise care centre roof Choose Canlok Stone for all your flagstone needs Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

News - While Coun. Doug Thompson was busy raising the roof with Elvis on Sept. 6, the Osgoode Township Care Centre was hoping to raise some money with the kickoff of their shingle sale fundraiser. Staff jump-started their campaign at Thompson’s Fond Farewell gala at the Greely Community Centre, where hundreds of people gathered to wish Thompson a happy retirement while supporting the care centre he helped build more than 25 years ago. Today, the retirement residence’s roof is in desperate need of replacement, and executive director Lori Dudley hopes the community will help her fix it. “The cost of the roof is $200,000 so we have to raise it either through the shingles or other means,” she said. Phase one of the job goes to tender this fall to replace high-priority areas, whether they’ve collected the money or not. “We’ve had thermal imaging done, and they split up our three sections of roofing into 11 sections so we could afford to do it in sections based on priorities,” Dudley said. This year, particularly damaged sections over the west wing, the southern wing and above the nursing station will be rebuilt, with a price tag of about $120,000. Dudley said that accounts for “a good part of the money” needed to complete the entire roof.

Manotick firefighters Carmen Grandinetti and Chris Robinson sell shingles at the Fond Farewell gala on Sept. 6. Residents and community supporters can purchase single shingles for $25 each, quarter bundles for $250, half bundles for $500 and full bundles for $1,000. At the kickoff on Sept. 6, guests bought more than $4,800 worth of shingles, representing about 200 individual shingles, or 4.5 bundles. To purchase shingles or make a donation, call Wendy Hill at 613-821-1034, ext. 248.

Flagstone is a popular, affordable and easy-to-maintain pavement option amongst home and business owners, and for those in the OttawaCarlton region, Nepean’s own Canlok Stone canlok.com is the go-to source for all your flagstone needs. With flagstone, maintenance is effortless. To avoid stains, simply sweep it regularly to ensure any loose dirt or plant debris don’t stain your stone by staying on it for too long. Should you need to clean any stains or mold that develop, just

dilute your favourite brand of bleach or muriatic acid with water and spot clean as necessary. If you prefer, you also have cleaning options available that are specifically made with your flagstone pavement in mind. Canlok Stone also takes the guesswork out of finding cleaning supplies for your flagstone pavement as they provide not only cleaners, but also sealers to protect your investment. Picking up a flagstone cleaner is a good idea once your pavement has settled as all flagstone pavement is susceptible to water stains, particularly if the water in your area contains chemicals such as alkaline or if it has added minerals. Even with the utmost care, stains are still likely to

occur in outdoor living spaces, especially if you use them for cooking and dining. With stains considered, make sure to seal all of your flagstone pavement when it is completed. The sealer goes directly into your stone’s pores and helps to prevent any damage caused by spills. Just be sure to avoid sealers with glossy finishes as they can alter your pavement’s appearance— instead use a penetrating acrylic sealer with a matte finish. By using that instead, any water or oil that hits your pavement turns into beads. To further protect your pavement, reapply this sealer yearly to shield it from damage and help maintain its colour. For more on flagstone pavement and care, contact Canlok Stone. Call 613-828-7686, visit them online canlok.com or in person at 950 Moodle Drive in Nepean to learn more.

Meet the candidate: George Wright Manotick News Staff

News - Former Osgoode councillor and Metcalfe farmer George Wright takes a common sense approach to the way he grows his crops, and he wants to bring that attitude to city council as the new councilor representing Osgoode Ward. The 47-year-old grew up on a hobby farm near Metcalfe, and now runs Castor River farm off the grid with his wife Kim. His kids, aged 12, 14 and 18, help him sell his goods at several farmers’ markets across the city. Wright studied geology at Acadia and Mount Allison universities, but he only worked in that field for a few years before he tired of travelling to the north. He started farming part time while he worked in carpentry and, briefly, installed renewable energy equipment – before the provincial Green Energy Act, which he doesn’t support. And now, with a booming farm and

a supportive family to help him, the former Osgoode Township councillor said it’s time to return to politics. Q: Why are you running? A: I just love local politics. I was a councilor between 1997 and 2000 (Osgoode Township), the last council before amalgamation, and I loved it. But I wasn’t ready to do it as a fulltime job. Then four years ago I was on the Ottawa Farmers’ Market negotiating team to get us a temporary location while Lansdowne was getting built, and I just fell back in love with all the high-level negotiating. Q: Detail your past political experience or activism (volunteering, campaigning, donations, employment) at any level of government or political party. Also, do you have any experience as a lobbyist or for a lobbying non-profit organization? A: I really think there’s no place for party politics in municipal affairs,

like me to.

so I don’t get involved with political parties at all. I’m more involved with grassroots organizations, my favourite being the Practical Farmers of Ontario – I’m the eastern vice-president. It’s just trying to liberate the farmer and take a common sense approach to policy. I am also the chair of a few committees for the Ottawa Farmers’ Market, human resources being the main one, and the temporary location committee. I used to be on the library board for the Osgoode Township. Q: How will you fundraise? A: I’m just using all of my own funds. I’m not collecting monies from anyone; I just don’t want to feel obligated to those supporters later. I want to avoid that completely. Also, up to 50 per cent of donations the tax payer covers for candidates. So, you’re being asked to fund the campaigns of some of the people you’re not going to vote for, and that really bothers me.

EMMA JACKSON/METROLAND

Former Osgoode Coun. George Wright wants to bring his common sense approach to city hall as the new councillor for Osgoode Ward. Q: Do you have any potential pecuniary interests (declared conflict of interest) i.e. ties (financial, family, otherwise) with builders, developers, construction companies, etc. A: No. Q: Are there any boards or associations you will have to step down from? A: I would ask them if they would

Q: What do they think was the biggest issue in the ward last term and how was it handled? A: It’s constant: it’s the roads. The general condition of them is number one, and the longevity of how long they last. Even when they rebuild them there’s got to be improvements on the materials and methods. I wouldn’t blame the councilors; sometimes it’s taxpayer driven, because people want the cheapest tender, so you don’t always get the best. Q: What will be the biggest issue/s next term? A: It will still be the roads. And there are a lot of people wanting a new sidewalk in Greely on Meadow Drive, which I completely support. That would be one of the first things I’d look into. Other candidates in Osgoode Ward include: Kim Sheldrick, Tom Dawson, Bruce Faulkner, Bob Masaro, Davis Jermacans, George Darouze, Liam Maguire and Jean Johnston-McKitterick.

Your gift keeps on giving. Forever.

CHARITABLE GIVING WITH LIFE INSURANCE POLICIES - A WIN-WIN FOR BOTH FAMILY AND CHARITIES The use of life insurance in the context of charitable gifting at death will appeal to those who want to reduce or eliminate taxes at death and/or have a strong desire to make a larger bequest to one or more charities. By Shawn Ryan, CFP, TEP Partner and Senior Insurance and Estate Planner Scrivens Insurance and Financial Solutions

Life insurance is a popular, practical way to make a significant gift to CHEO. Your donation will be wisely administered through investments which will provide a stable source of income to CHEO for years to come. There are three main methods you can gift life insurance: by making a bequest of the proceeds of a life insurance policy through your Will; donating the policy during your lifetime at fair market value; or by naming CHEO as beneficiary and remaining as policy owner.

Here is a scenario where a mother owns purchase a permanent life insurance policy a family business and wishes to gift the for $500,000 and donate the proceeds to shares to her adult children through a charity through her Will. provision in her Will. She wants to eliminate This is a win-win for both her family and capital gains taxes of the shares payable the charity. She will own the policy during at her death. The taxable capital gains her lifetime and name her estate as policy reportable on the deemed disposition of beneficiary. She will direct that a gift in an shares on death is $500,000 and tax owing amount equal to the life insurance proceeds on this amount is $230,000 (base on a be paid to a charity named in the Will. The 46% marginal tax rate). charity will receive the lump sum amount She also wants to make a sizeable donation equal to the insurance proceeds upon to her favourite charitable organization, but her death. A tax receipt issued for 100% doesn’t want to reduce her estate assets. of the donation by the charity will qualify Given the options mentioned above, she for a tax credit to be used in her final tax decides that the most viable solution is to return. This credit has completely eliminated the tax liability on the shares at death and

The use of life insurance in the context of charitable gifting at death will appeal to those who want to reduce or eliminate taxes at death and/or have a strong desire to make a larger bequest to one or more charities. This should be considered in the bigger context of planned giving options available to donors both during their lifetime and at death.

the estate value is preserved. In this case, premiums for the life insurance policy are paid with a relatively small percentage of the funds that would otherwise have been used to pay taxes owing.

Ride the Rideau organizers reeling after cyclist death Bike ride event cut short after woman pronounced dead on River Road Adam Kveton, Erin McCracken, Laura Mueller adam.kveton@metroland.com

News - Organizers of the Ride the Rideau fundraising bicycle ride say it’s too early to comment on the future of the event after a female participant died in a collision with a garbage truck during the fifth-annual event on Sept. 6. The woman was identified by the Royal Ottawa Health Care Group as Laurie Strano, the centre’s director of quality, patient safety and risk management. Ottawa Hospital president and CEO Dr. Jack Kitts said Strano had participated in Ride the Rideau every year since the event started. The event, which raises millions for cancer research, was cut short as

a precaution to clear the area for police, according to a news release from the Ottawa Hospital Foundation. Police received a call about three minutes after 11 a.m. in relation to a crash between a cyclist and a BFI garbage truck on River Road just south of Doyle Road, said Insp. John Medeiros after arriving at the scene. Between seven and 10 people were witness to the collision, said Medeiros. At a news conference on Monday, Sept. 8, Kitts said a number of senior managers from the hospital were riding with Stranos and witnessed the crash. They and other witnesses are receiving support from the hospital’s social-work team, Kitts said. The rest of the more than 900 riders participating in the event were bused back to the Ernst and Young Centre on Uplands Drive where the race began. Ottawa police are continuing to investigate the collision and its causes. The collision was not a case of hitand-run, said Medeiros, as the driver of the garbage truck remained at the scene, co-operating with police. A

EMMA JACKSON/METROLAND

A ghost bike honouring cyclist Laurie Strano appeared on River Road north of Nixon Drive shortly after she was struck and killed during the Ride the Rideau event on Sept. 6. family member of the deceased cyclist came to the scene as well, he said. The cyclist was biking northbound on River Road when the collision occurred, said Medeiros. The investigation will help inform any decisions about the future of the Ride the Rideau event or its route, Tim Kluke president and CEO of the Ottawa Hospital Foundation, said during the Sept. 8 news conference. “We are not in a position today to

talk about any consideration around the future of the ride,” he said. Additional road closures will be part of those considerations, he added. The 85-kilometre route includes a number of road closures, particularly around the start of the course, and roads that are open to vehicular traffic. Kluke himself was participating in the event for the second time and said he felt safe during the ride, but noted some areas are “more challenging.”

As easy as checking the score, check car insurance rates online. Shop the best selection of car insurance rates in one place.

“As a rider, you’re always concentrating,” he said. Another participant, Hayden Fraser, was not far behind when the collision took place. While he said he felt safe while sharing the road with motorists, there were a couple of incidents in which he felt motorists didn’t leave enough distance between him and their vehicles.

Q: What will be the biggest issue/s next term? A: We need to keep the focus on funding our infrastructure renewal. Rideau Valley Drive North and South, Long Island Road and Century Road West are some of the worst roads.

Manotick News Staff

News - Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt wants to finish what he started in his hometown ward. The 33-year-old North Gower resident grew up on the border of Manotick and Kars, on First Line Road. He worked in retail and customer service at a local golf course before setting his sights on the council table in 2006. He wasn’t successful that time, but in 2010 he took the seat from incumbent Glenn Brooks. Since then he’s taken on a number of pressing issues for the ward, including the sale and development of Manotick’s historic Dickinson Square, the connection of Long Island and Van Vliet Roads and getting a number of roads across his ward resurfaced and rebuilt. Q: Why are you running? A: From a young age I was always interested in politics ... it’s the sense of serving the community. I have a customer service background, so everything was about helping people and serving people. It’s about improving the lives of people.

Q: Do you have any potential pecuniary interests (declared conflict of interest) i.e. ties (financial, family, otherwise) with builders, developers, construction companies, etc. Any boards or associations you will have to step down from? A: My parents own land adjacent to the Manotick village boundary. I would have to recuse myself because my parents can gain financially from an expansion. Q: What do you think was the biggest issue in the ward last term and how was it handled? A: In a ward like Rideau-Goulbourn, it’s always going to be the roads. It’s a rare occasion when a road doesn’t come up (in a public meeting). It brings everything together and in

JAIL BREAK

Metroland East Special Report

Rehab programs feel the crunch Canada’s jails are bursting at the seams. Federal and provincial correctional facilities are struggling to meet the rising intake of inmates, the result of federal government toughon-crime legislation. A Metroland East special report shows rehabilitation and treatment programs have taken a backseat to the push for prison expansion. In the first of a fourpart series, we look at how prisoners are struggling to find employment and addiction-treatment support. Brier Dodge and Jennifer McIntosh

T

he first time Dan Parlow went to jail, he was 16 years old. “I was a boy, going to a man’s prison,” said Parlow, who was convicted of robbery and served time at the Guelph Correctional Institute. Instead of being rehabilitated, Parlow said he felt like he was sent to a university of crime. Over the last three decades, Parlow, 49, has served time at four federal penitentiaries, provincial jails, and has stayed at several halfway houses. “A lot of it was robbery or assaultrelated – some firearms stuff,” he said. But he said some of the circumstances in his early life led him down that path. Parlow, originally from Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., said he grew up in a tumultuous home environment. His father left when he was five years old, leaving the kids with his alcoholic mother. Parlow said he was physically, emotionally and sexually abused both in the home and after he entered the foster-care system. He committed robbery at the age of 16 after leaving foster care and finding himself homeless. “All these things were precursors to the life I would lead later,” he said. He started using substances to help him cope: first alcohol, and eventually heroin. Once an offender enters the system, the first conviction will often echo through the rest of their life. Parlow has been out of jail on his statutory release since July 2013 – his longest stretch of parole in a long time. He currently lives at the Ottawa Mission and is participating in its Lifehouse drug-treatment program and is studying criminology at Car-

The number of inmates in federal prisons is at an all-time high with more than 15,000 this year. Between 2003 and 2013, the federal prison population has risen by 16.5 per cent, close to 2,100 inmates. Critics blame the jump on mandatory sentencing and the federal government’s Truth in Sentencing Act, which eliminated the two-for-one credit for time served before conviction.

Part 1: A look at the trickle-down effect from Canada’s new tough-on-crime laws on prisoners seeking rehabilitation support. leton University. The federal government’s “toughon-crime” legislation, which pushes mandatory minimum sentencing and stiffer punishments, doesn’t help deal with the root issues of crime or why parolees reoffend, Parlow said. “There’s a moral panic going on,” Parlow said. “Crime rates have been on the decline since the ’60s, but there’s still bottlenecking in the system and a real tough-on-crime attitude.” Offenders face large barriers in turning their lives around in prison due to a lack of programming – including drug and alcohol rehabilitation – in both jail and the community,

said Parlow. His experience isn’t unique. According to the annual federal prison ombudsman’s 2011-12 report, almost two-thirds of federal offenders reported being under the influence of drugs or alcohol when they committed the crime for which they were incarcerated. Four out of five offenders come to jail with a history of substance abuse. Parlow said inmates’ reduced access to rehabilitative programs can be linked to overcrowding. CROWDED SPACES

Over the past decade, Ontario pris-

ons have seen a large increase in the number of inmates. Federal penitentiaries, which take in prisoners serving sentences two years or longer, have seen incarcerated populations increase by 2,100 inmates, or 16.5 per cent, from 2003 to 2013. Meanwhile, provincial jails are experiencing explosive growth in the number of inmates remanded in custody, while awaiting trial or bail hearing. On any given day in 2012-13, 25,208 people were detained in Canada’s provincial and territorial jails according to Set up to Fail: Bail and the Revolving Door of Pre-trial Detention, a report released in July 2014 by the Canadian Civil Liberties Association and Education Trust. More than half of those inmates were awaiting trial or a bail hearing. Canada’s remand rate has tripled over the past three decades – but this is not the result of a rise in the nation’s crime rate, which has been falling for the past two decades. Aaron Doyle, a criminology professor at Carleton University, has spent the past year studying overcrowding

conditions at the Ottawa-Carleton Detention Centre. The centre has been overcrowded for years, with three and sometimes four inmates living in cells designed for one or two, he said. “Two-thirds to three-quarters of the prisoners in the Ottawa-Carleton Detention Centre are on remand, which means they’re just awaiting their day in court – they actually haven’t been convicted of anything,” said Doyle, a founding member of the Criminalization and Punishment Education Project, made up of faculty and students from Carleton and the University of Ottawa. Meanwhile, they’re getting very little in the way of programming because of overcrowding, he said. “Some of them are in and out of court 10 times and will spend months and over a year in there just waiting to get their case settled,” said Doyle. The project is planning to release a report about conditions at the Ottawa detention centre this fall. At the federal level, Correctional Service Canada spends approximately three per cent of its $2.5-billion annual budget on core rehabilitative programs, such as anger management and programs for substance abuse and sexual offenders. Federal inmates have access to a variety of substance-abuse programs, including coping strategies for offenders undergoing methadone treatment, and national substance-abuse programs. Most penitentiaries offer Alcoholics Anonymous/Narcotics Anonymous groups, Véronique Rioux, a spokeswoman for Correctional Service Canada, said in an email. “Overall research shows that offenders who complete CSC’s substance-abuse programs are significantly less likely to return to custody with new offences and less likely to return with new violent offences,” she said. “Over the past five to 10 years, programs and services have not been reduced, but rather improved to ensure that they are continuously targeting the specific needs of inmates,” she said. Brent Ross, spokesman for Ontario’s Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services, said $24 million is spent annually on skilldevelopment and rehabilitation programs, which have reduced recidivism rates for the inmates who participate.

“These people talk a big game about these programs, but they don’t work,” said Jody Faucher, who is currently incarcerated at the Ottawa-Carleton Detention Centre awaiting trial on fraud charges. Faucher has a rap sheet “at least 11 pages long,” and has faced 150 charges – mostly fraud-related – throughout his life since he first landed in jail at the age of 15. Faucher has been conning people for decades to pay for his cocaine addiction. Now, at the age of 44, he’s decided to seek help to get himself clean and back on the right path. Given a choice between an early release and probation or a lengthier commitment to a drug-treatment program, he said he would opt for treatment. When he last appeared in court, Faucher said he asked to go to a 26 week drug-treatment program. But his request was denied because a judge ruled Faucher wouldn’t be sufficiently monitored and may return to criminal activities if given pay phone access, as he in the past has used phone scams to con jewellery stores out of thousands of dollars. “I know I have a chance. I have a brain, I have a future,” said Faucher. “I’m asking for help, I don’t understand why I can’t have help.” He’s had periods of sobriety before, but he said his emotional struggles led him back to using drugs. “I was strung out on cocaine, my son died, I got served with divorce papers,” he said. Faucher has been in and out of the Innes Road jail more times than he can count, but he said treatment programs are limited. Wait lists are long, and with every repeat visit he says he sees resources shrink and programs disappear. Sporadic Alcoholics Anonymous meetings do little, he said. Because of his consistent reappearance at the jail, Faucher said he thinks the system has given up on him. “I want to clear up my demons. The drugs, the criminal thinking, the death of my son,” he said. “I think the chances are high I’ll end up back here if I don’t get help.” According to the Ontario Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services, 52 per cent of the province’s current 61,303 inmates, both in custody and under community supervision will reoffend within two years of being released. Often inmates can continue to

The federal prisons ombudsman’s report says the presence of homemade alcohol and illicit drugs in federal prisons are still a major safety and security challenge, despite the zero-tolerance stance taken by Correctional Service Canada. The federal department’s budget for substance-abuse programming fell from $11.6 million in 2011-12 to $9.6 million in 2012-13. REHAB PROGRAMS NEED

Critics say rehabilitation has taken a backseat to mandatory minimum sentencing and that the corrections system is doing less and less correcting. Rebecca Jesseman, research and policy analyst for the Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse, said the majority of offenders are currently actively using or have a history of substance abuse. She said offenders often have complex needs regarding resources, but policy can fall victim to ideology. “Not-for-profits that offer services are struggling for funding,” Jesseman said. “Offenders with addictions issues are dealing with a double stigma. There’s a fear of crime in our society and people still feel like substance abuse is a choice you make.” Jesseman said overcrowding in jails means dwindling programming space and an increased demand on staff. “Mandatory minimums and stricter conditions on parole eligibility have an impact at all levels,” she said. Once offenders are released they need the tools to comply with their conditions, she said. “There needs to be a formal period of treatment, not just setting a condition, that sets people up to fail,” she said. “Giving people the

tools they need and addressing the risk factors is important.” Private programs, such as those run by the Ottawa Mission, have emerged as some of the only options for rehabilitative programs and services following cuts to programs and services in jails. “And all of this is happening while the prison population itself is growing,” said Howard Sapers, the federal prisons ombudsman. “So it’s a bit of a double-whammy.” Karen White-Jones, manager of addiction services at the Ottawa Mission, said many of their clients are former prison inmates. The Mission currently operates a day program, a dry wing, a stabilization program and the Lifehouse residential program to help former offenders. “We have a lot of former inmates in the day program, because of the lack of affordable housing. A lot of guys getting discharged from jail end up in the shelter and hear about the day program.” The day program is a drop-in clinic; the dry wing offers a place to stay with other people trying to get clean. The stabilization program offers detoxification treatment that typically lasts 30 days. The Lifehouse program, which Parlow is currently attending, is five months long and offers housing to help clients with reintegration. “People leaving jails or prisons may have been abstinent or modified their use, but they haven’t learned the skills to maintain that,” White-Jones said. And parolees are displaced, often fearful of how they’ll function in the real world, she said. “A lot of people who have been institutionalized long-term have real fear,” White-Jones said. “They might be doing well on their addiction or anger management, but there’s still a lot they don’t know about day-to-day life.” White-Jones said every program at the Mission has a wait list. “As soon as a bed empties, there’s someone to fill it,” she said. The popularity of these programs isn’t surprising to WhiteJones, who said a lot of organizations are struggling to fill the need with limited resources. Prison employment and education programs have also been underfunded and post-secondary education is next to impossible with no Internet access, according to many critics of federal corrections system. In 2009, the federal government announced a plan to eliminate six prison farms, a program that of-

fered employment and life skills. CORCAN, a prison work program provided by Correctional Service Canada, employs inmates around the country in industrialbased jobs, but the positions are few and far between, said Sapers in his recent annual report. “When I visit an institution, typically I’ll see maybe half a dozen guys in the yard with a broom all sweeping the same area of the yard because it’s the only employment that they have,” Sapers said. “It’s not very meaningful employment.” Without the proper treatment or programs, it’s normal to see offenders cycle through the jail several times without receiving any rehabilitation programs, said Denis Collin, Ontario Public Service Employees Union local unit president for the Ottawa-Carleton Detention Centre.

“Mandatory minimums and stricter conditions on parole eligibility have an impact on all levels.” REBECCA JESSEMAN, ANALYST, CANADIAN CENTRE ON SUBSTANCE ABUSE

Collin has worked as a correctional officer for 13 years, including the Ottawa-Carleton Detention Centre and the former Rideau Correctional Treatment Centre. The treatment centre had programs, ranging from workshops to a working farm. “You had all sorts of programs, where at least when the offender would be coming out and had served their time, you would give them hope and some sort of option or direction to have some options once they leave,” he said. “And the word “corrections” is exactly that. It’s meant to correct behaviour and meant to try and give people some resources to move their life forward.”

Find the perfect mug for your suds at church fundraiser

TAGGART PARKES FOUNDATION PROUDLY PRESENTS

Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

Community - St. Matthew’s Anglican Church in the Glebe currently has more than 3,000 beer mugs in its possession. The mugs, donated by Derele Scharfe, were collected by Scharfe’s father, Milton Erele Armstrong, over the course of many years. Scharfe said she donated the mugs to the church because it is where her parents were married in 1942. “My parents would be very pleased that the mugs were given to St. Matthew’s, and especially pleased that there will be an event to sell the steins,” Scharfe said. As a result of the donation, church will host, Mugs and Suds on Sept. 27 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The beer stein sale will feature beer from the Clocktower Brew Pub and the Polished Brass Quintet will entertain guests in the church’s parking lot. Revenues from the sale are earmarked for the restoration of the church’s aging roof. “This is certainly different from anything we have ever done before,” said Margret Nankivell, a member of the church’s fundraising committee. When first approached with the idea of taking possession of thousands of beer mugs last

MICHELLE NASH/METROLAND

Derele Scharfe and Margret Nankivell invite beer lovers to a special mug sale at St. Matthew’s Church in the Glebe on Sept. 27. September, Nankivell said they had to ask Scharfe to hold off. Scharfe was patient and donated the mugs last May. Nankivell said when the committee received them, they simply sat and stared at them. “It took some time to come up with a way to sell the mugs and welcome people to the church,” she said. The collection includes mugs from Canadian, American and European breweries and universities and corporations, as well as face mugs. According to the church, an unusual china mug was identified as former British prime minister Neville Chamberlain and dates back to the late 1930s. Other face mugs include former Canadian prime minister John Diefenbaker. “There is everything from ‘I love NY’, to university mugs,

German mugs and stoneware mugs,” Nankivell said. The church will sell beer in a free mug for $5. Other steins will vary in price, depending on whether it’s a rare item or not. Some will only be available as part of a silent auction. “People will have a really great time listening to the music and sampling the beer from Clocktower,” said Rev. Pat Johnson. “So raise your glasses to help us raise the roof.” The St. Matthew’s men’s choir will be preparing suasages for $5 each. The free event will offer a free mug with a patron’s first beer purchase. Servers are being provided free of charge from the Clocktower Brew Pub.

more of a role in city life, saying that he views the ward as a “jewel� within the city – something that the rest of the city does not seem to realize. A total of 11 questions were asked by members of the public at the meeting, most dealing with concerns about the city’s management and various projects. Scharf deplored the lack of management review at city hall, and later said the city have to start living within its means. He later advocated for using business case practices while ensuring that council gets its questions answered. “Council has to be responsible for asking tough questions,� Scharf said about council’s role. In response to a question, Moffatt defended the city’s level of development charges, saying that it comes down to a case of growth paying for growth. The development charges pay for projects and improvements caused by expanding development, not the needs of existing taxpayers, he said.

North Gower, who is a specialist in risk management, said he got involved in the campaign because of all of the municipal projects that have gone off the rails, culminating in the Orgaworld contract. His campaign is focused on three matters, he said. One is waste management and taking a different approach to green initiatives in the rural areas of the city. He argued that sustainability projects should not be applied in a single fashion across the city since the lifestyle is different in the rural areas. The city also needs to find a new way to handle garbage, he said, like incineration. Scharf also wants to see a focus on rural economic development in order to provide jobs in local communities. He also called for more collaboration among the various communities across the Rideau-Goulbourn ward and said there is a need for systematic communication with the ward councillor’s office. Scharf also wants to see Rideau-Goulbourn Ward take

Soup was a stick-to-your-ribs kind of meal

T

he big white granite pot never left the back of the Findlay Oval. It might blacken around the bottom edge, and sitting close to the reservoir, it never really got down to a boil until Mother felt it was ready to be moved closer to a front burner. This was Mother’s soup pot. It was as much a part of our kitchen as the old pine table and the back-to-the-wall cupboard, and the only time it left the stove was when its innards were ready for the table. Soup was just another food that could be made from what we grew on the farm, albeit mostly from leftovers from our kitchen table after a meal was over. Pea and potato soups were never made in the

MARY COOK Memories big granite pot, mainly because it was already in use on the back of the Findlay Oval. My sister Audrey called Mother’s soup pot, ‘scrap heaven’. That was because not a crumb of a leftover was ever thrown out, and these ‘scraps’ were what formed the bulk of the soup,

Support local businesses that sell locally-produced food

and ‘heaven’ because the aroma’s coming from the pot filled us with anticipation of what was in store for us. Of course, there were never any scraps from our dinner plates. They would be wiped clean by a crust of bread, and heaven forbid that there would be as much as a half a carrot left to be eaten on your plate! As Mother would say, if we ever wasted a morsel of food, “you are taking it right out of the mouth of a starving Armenian” who I was pretty sure lived in Arnprior! No, the leftovers would be what was left in the bowls or on the meat platter at the end of a meal. There was always a bit of meat, or a few vegetables, leftover gravy, all of which was put into Mother’s pot. Even bones from the roasts were simmered and carefully scooped out just before the soup was brought to the table. Our old Collie dog, Sport, made short work of the bones out on the back stoop. The pot was kept covered, but that didn’t stop the wonderful aroma from seeping out and filling

Look for

the kitchen. Although we ate two hefty meals a day, one at noon hour and one at night, when Father was going back out to work in the fields or the barns after our supper, that’s when the soup pot was brought to the table. Those nights, supper would mean a big bowl of soup, maybe a plate of cold headcheese, fried potatoes, enough sliced homemade bread to feed half of Renfrew County, and of course, this time of year, a platter of freshly picked tomatoes and cucumbers. That was called a light supper! It was always a mystery what you were spooning into your mouth the night we were served the soup. You may be able to distinguish the carrots and the onions, but by the time everything had been simmering for so long, the potatoes and parsnips were as one. It wasn’t unusual to find a meatball, a smidgen of a pork chop, and even chunks of roast beef or the remains of a chicken leg in your soup bowl. The night we had the soup, it was a ‘stick-toyour-ribs’ kind of meal. And when supper was over, back onto the stove went the pot. More water added, three more bay leaves, and the pot was ready and waiting for Mother’s next batch of soup. It was recycling at its finest.

Meet the candidate: Dan Scharf News - Businessman and anti-wind turbine activist Dan Scharf wants to bring his business skills to the council table as the next councillor for Rideau-Goulbourn, Ward 21. The North Gower-based father and grandfather has been a businessman most of his life. He began with a degree in computer science and statistics from the University

of Waterloo, and worked his way through several software companies before taking on a consulting role for public sector organizations, helping with risk management. Scharf became active in the movement against large windturbine developments when a project threatened to come to his village. Q: Why are you running? A: My interest peaked as I

And in the past six months, as project difficulties went public at the city, I began to feel that people with different kinds of experiences other than being professional politicians might be quite valuable at the city council table.

Q: Detail your past political experience or activism (volunteering, campaigning, donations, employment) at any level of government or political party. Also, do you have any experience as a lobbyist or for a lobbying non-profit organization? A: Mostly around wind activism, and supporting a couple campaigns for local politicians. I helped (Nepean-Carleton MPP) Lisa MacLeod a bit volunteering for sign delivery; basically helping people that were helping us in terms of standing ground against wind projects in our area. I’ve led workshops in other jurisdictions about the cost-benefit equations of 600foot wind turbines. It’s a big issue with lots of complications, lots of misrepresentations sometimes on both sides. Most recently I’ve been helping with a start-up in the health sector. Q: How will you fundraise? A: Just through local people

Q: What do you think was the biggest issue in the ward last term and how was it handled? What will be the biggest issue/s next term? A: I think there was a lot of discussion in this ward concerning removing funding for the Earl Armstrong extension; that was a big issue on the eastern side of the ward. The most common thing (residents talk about) is about garbage and green bin pickup, coupled with the audit of Orgaworld and the understanding that that was a poorly designed contract. (Next term) we’re going to see the beginnings of significant finance problems at the city. Some of the projects that are being planned now, we’re not in a position to finance them ... I think we’re going to have to be very rigorous in prioritizing and spending decisions. We have to be systematic about it, we have to be very business-like in the decisions we make about finances.

Thank You!

Tiny and virtually painless to implant, this life-long form of identiďŹ cation may mean the difference between never seeing your lost pet again and having her returned safely to you. From April 1 to Aug. 31, 24 lost cats and 55 lost dogs brought to the Ottawa Humane Society were returned to their human companions because they had a microchip. When you consider the total number of strays brought to the OHS during that same time period — 964 cats and 498 dogs — it’s clear that there is still work to be done when it comes to education on the

Laurie Strano was killed Sept. 6 during the Ride the Rideau cycling event. city and police when planning the route. River Road, where the collision occurred, has been part of the route since the event’s inception, said Danielle St-Aubin of the Ottawa Hospital Foundation. While it was raining the morning of the ride, Kluke said a meteorological service hired by Ride the Rideau indicated the rain would dissipate as the morning progressed, so the ride wasn’t cancelled. This is the first time the Ride the Rideau event has seen a serious incident like this occur, said Stephanie Egan, communications manager for the Ottawa Hospital Foundation.

“There were some close calls,� Fraser said. “I never felt threatened at all by vehicles but there were instances where cars did pass (me) quite closely.� And from what he observed during the road race, cyclists were adhering to the rules that organizers of the event had set out before it got underway and riding as close as possible to the right edge of the road. At the beginning of the road race, participants cycled in packs along the roadway, but later spaced out and largely cycled single file, Fraser said. “I don’t think there was any more than two abreast at any stage,� he said Police had been contracted to work several intersections and re-direct vehicles for a portion of the ride as a safety measure, said Medeiros. However, police were contracted to work specific busy intersections north of where the collision occurred. “So there wouldn’t have been any police security,� he said.

Dream of a Lifetime Lottery prizes announced Manotick News Staff

Home is where the heart is The opportunity to grow a family overnight does not come around very often, but three brothers in Orleans want to give that chance to an existing family with big hearts and a few rooms to spare. These children are already part of the community in Orleans, it’s their home, and they would love to be able to stay here. These siblings were lucky enough to stay together in foster care thanks to a caring foster parent, but now need a forever family that can help them grow and prosper throughout the rest of their childhood, into their teens, and onward into adulthood. The children themselves are doing really well. They are active, inquisitive, energetic and just lots of fun. The oldest—a pre-teen—does well in school and has a strong interest in technology, and would respond well to parents who share those interests. The younger brothers are more cuddly and bubbly, they just need the support, stability and dedication of a forever family to help them reach their full potential in school, though they’re still very early on in their journey and have lots of time to figure things out. All three love spending time outdoors, and would really enjoy being part of a family that spends time outside, especially around water, as fishing and swimming are right up their alley!

Community - The 2014 Dream of a Lifetime Lottery is now under way offering more incredible prizes than ever before, including the return of the popular 50/50 cash draw. CHEO scheduled the launch of the prizes for Sept. 15. The lottery supports the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario at the Minto Dream Home in Manotick. The home is the crown jewel of the grand prize package valued at $1.7 million. It boasts the fully furnished and decorated home with its furnishings by La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries, $100,000 in cash, a 2015 Cadillac ATS Luxury from Myers Automotive Group, house cleaning for a year from

Back by popular demand is the 50/50 draw with its guaranteed minimum payout of $100,000 cash and its escalating jackpot. The more tickets sold – the higher the payout will be for the 50/50 winner. Last year’s 50/50 Draw winner won almost a half a million dollars.

Midway ticket system changing at Metcalfe Fair Pro wrestling makes fair debut Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

News - Ride bracelets are becoming a thing of the past for fairgoers, with the costsaving bracelets available only on Friday, Oct. 3, at this year’s Metcalfe Fair. Midway operator Robertson Amusements has changed the way it charges for rides at the Metcalfe Fair, said fair spokeswoman Cheryl Cooper. Instead of daily bracelet deals, fairgoers can buy a ride-allday bracelet for Friday, but must buy pre-sale tickets if they want a deal throughout the rest of the weekend. “Traditionally you could buy ride bracelets for whatever day you wanted, and that was a significant savings,” Cooper said. “But as a board we

weren’t given that option this year.” Robertson Amusements manager Chris Patrie sees it differently. He said the company has fielded many complaints about half-day bracelets, which weren’t economical when they were only good for four hours. “People weren’t getting their money’s worth,” Patrie said. “People are very pleased with this (one-day) special.” He said the midway operator has been experimenting with a version of this system for the better part of a decade, but it’s only made its way to the Metcalfe Fair now. “It’s taken us a while to get it perfected to find out what’s the best day for the special,” he said. Friday’s ride-all-day bracelet is $25 and allows patrons to ride between 1 and 11 p.m. Thursday night is still toonie night, costing fairgoers $2 per ride, and pre-sale tickets are

on sale now at a cost of $40 for 35 tickets. But full-price tickets, purchased on the day of the visit, can run patrons as much as $5 a ride. “It’s frustrating for everybody, including fair directors who have kids,” Cooper said. Despite this disconnect over prices, Cooper said she still believes Robertson is the best midway operator – and this change is just a sign of the times. “They still are one of the best midways out there, with an excellent safety record. They’re supposed to be bringing extra rides this year, too,” Cooper said. Patrie said they’ll pack as many rides as they can into the space available – and they’ll be sure to bring rides never before seen at the Metcalfe Fair. Pre-sale tickets, dance show tickets and weekend passes for the 158th Metcalfe Fair running Thursday, Oct. 2 to Sun-

day, Oct. 5 are available now at the Metcalfe Fair office at the Metcalfe Farmers’ Market on Saturday mornings, Metcalfe Variety on Victoria Street and Cooper Physiotherapy in Osgoode. And as of Sept. 22, the tickets will also be available at the Scotiabank branch in Findlay Creek. Cooper said the branch will match all sales in the form of a donation to the not-forprofit fair. CRUSHER MAKES DEBUT

New this year, the Metcalfe Fair is welcoming Osgoodeborn professional wrestler Wayne “Crusher Kline” Cryderman to the ring for an evening of family entertainment. On Friday night, families can enjoy three professional wrestling matches inside the

OLG Entertainment tent, compliments of Big Time Pro Wrestling. “We’re excited to have him and his group of wrestlers at the fair,” Cooper said. “One of our younger directors is in charge of entertainment, and she feels it’s important to bring new events. We all like the traditional events but it’s important to change things up and feature new people. We’re hoping to draw a different milieu of people.” That’s been a major part of the Metcalfe Fair’s modern approach: to add new events while maintaining the traditional agricultural focus. “We’ve tried to change with the times,” Cooper said. “Our main emphasis is we’re an agricultural fair, and our main focus is celebrating agriculture in our community

... but we’re also bringing in the south-end people, and letting them know that with the change in the urban fairs like the SuperEx we’re still here and we want to make Metcalfe Fair your fair, your tradition. We think we offer enough for everyone.” Along with the traditional cattle, sheep and horse shows, the agricultural displays and exhibits, in recent years the fair has added a classic car and hot rod show, a fashion show and a baby show. Every year directors also try to bring new and popular live music to the grounds. This year, Canadian country rock group Ambush will return with a new band member and new sound on Sunday afternoon. Landmark will play Thursday night, Sidewinder will perform on Friday and the Orangeman will play Saturday night. For a complete schedule of events visit metcalfefair.com.
