Darouze vows hard work for divided Osgoode ward

Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

News - In a ward where four out of five voters chose somebody else, Osgoode

councillor-elect George Darouze knows he’s got his work cut out for him.

The former OsgoodeCarleton Snowmobile Trail Club president won a tight, 11-candidate race for councillor on Monday, Oct. 27 – although not by as much as he hoped.

In the end, Darouze took only 21 per cent of the vote, with former Osgoode Township councillor George

Wright on his heels with 15 per cent. Another four candidates each took more than 10 per cent of the support for themselves.

“I have to prove to (residents) that I’m the right voice for them and that I’m going to work for them,” Darouze said. “Right now it’s an effort on my part ... to earn the respect of the residents and show them that I’m the right choice.”

There were a mere 719 votes between first-place Darouze and sixth-place finisher Davis Jermacans. By comparison, there were that many votes again between Jermacans and the next candidate, Mark Scharfe, in seventh place.

Darouze was obviously nervous while he watched the election results come in at the Red Dot Cafe on Oct. 27. He admitted later that he expected more of a landslide.

It all came out in the wash for Carss and his teammates as they defeated the Mother Teresa Titans 33-14 on Oct. 29. St. Mark finished the season 3-3, good enough to earn a spot in the A/AA city final, which will be played Oct. 8 at TD Place against St. Joseph or Ashbury. The game starts at 11 a.m. and there is an admission charge of $8.

Six-way split gives Darouze minority win

‘I have to prove that I’m the right voice for them’ “With the numbers I collected while campaigning and canvassing, I did anticipate higher numbers,” he said.

He wanted to get more than 2,000 votes. He ended up with only 1,783 out of 8,500.

Runner-up Wright said he was “discouraged” by the split result, which he said pitted too many viable candidates against each other at the polls.

“You add up myself, Jean, Tom (Dawson), Davis (Jermacans), Liam (Maguire) – who are absolute credible candidates – and we’ve got 6,000 votes,” he said.

That represents more than 68 per cent of the vote.

Transition to council

The next month will be dedicated to “intense training” at city hall, taking sessions on everything from media relations to policy development.

He’s also already working with outgoing Coun. Doug

Thompson to become familiar with the ward’s many files, and to set up his office team.

Darouze will be sworn in Dec. 1 alongside seven other first-time councillors. He’s already thinking about the council committees he wants to join: the Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee, of course, but also the finance and economic development committee.

Darouze said the budget will be the first big hurdle for all new councillors, who will have to get quickly up to speed so they can start prioritizing their residents’ needs.

He also plans to immediately begin setting up the ward advisory committee he has long promised since he began campaigning last winter.

“Every village has different issues, every subdivision has different demands,” Darouze said. “(Right now) we’re not consulting with the residents.

Let’s bring the stakeholders to the table without an agenda, and without a personal interest.”

Osgoode councillor-elect George Darouze allows himself to celebrate after he is declared the winner during a tense election evening which saw six of 11 candidates each take more than 10 per cent of the vote. Darouze won with 21 per cent.

He rejected criticism that such a committee gives too large a voice to unelected policy makers.

“This is not another level of government. This is strictly a volunteer committee,” he said.

NOW PLAYING AT TD PLACE

Darouze may have been nervous as Osgoode results rolled in, but his supporters at the Red Dot never wavered – at least publicly – in their belief that Darouze would win.

Shortly before the results were finalized, Darouze supporters gushed over beers about his ability to produce results.

“When I met George, our skidoo club was just a normal skidoo club.” But since his presidency, she said, the club has won provincial, national and international awards – including volunteer of the year for Darouze himself.

“He saw this vision and he wanted it, and with everyone working together he got it done,” Livingston said.

After declaring the win of-

ficial around 10 p.m. – there were delays with some ballot boxes in the ward – Darouze wove his way through a crowd of hugs and handshakes.

When he finally managed to step outside for some air, he got sprayed with champagne by even more excited supporters.

“I’m very flattered and I’m very thankful for Osgoode Ward voters to put their confidence in me,” Darouze said.

The campaign was one of the most exciting Osgoode ward has seen in years, as Thompson decided to retire after 31 years in politics this past February.

Proving an unshakeable incumbent, Thompson never faced more than two other councillor candidates at a time after amalgamation, and was acclaimed in 2003.

But this time, 11 candidates ended up on the ballot, eight of whom had never run before. They were: Darouze, Tom Dawson, Jermacans, Jean Johnston-McKitterick, Liam Maguire, Bob Masaro, Allen Scantland, Mark Scharfe, Kim Sheldrick, Paul St. Jean and George Wright.

Darouze was considered an early frontrunner, as he had shadowed Thompson at city hall for several years as a volunteer and helped Thompson move forward on key issues like reopening Albion Road and creating the Osgoode multi-use pathway.

Darouze recently received

Thompson’s public endorsement, much to the chagrin of the other candidates.

The move caused a stir at a public debate in Greely, where Thompson was asked not to speak after the other candidates complained it was unfair.

But even with that coveted endorsement, the election was not necessarily Darouze’s to win. Jermacans, JohnstonMcKitterick and Dawson were hot on his heels by election day – each of them receiving their own share of public endorsements.

And Scharfe, proudly channelling outgoing Toronto mayor Rob Ford, made headlines across the city when he created a coalition of candidates to scrap Orgaworld and the green bin program – and then again when members started dropping off the slate due to its aggressive approach.

That’s not to say Orgaworld wasn’t an important election issue; the majority of Osgoode candidates vowed to fix the green bin program and make fiscal responsibility a priority – implying, of course, that the current council will not.

It was a tough slog for candidates in a race where almost everyone agreed on the basic issues: the need for better roads, more seniors housing, better access to youth programming and, in general, “rural solutions for rural problems,” as Scantland was fond of putting it.

Moffatt wins second term with strong mandate Emma Jackson

JOHN BRUMMELL/METROLAND

Moffatt family members who join re-elected city of Ottawa Rideau-Goulbourn ward councillor Scott Moffatt, right, back, in celebrating his re-election in last Monday’s municipal election are, from left, Scott’s sister Sherri Sunstrum, his dad Brian Moffatt who is looking the other way to show off the re-election message on the back of his t-shirt, and Jill Moffatt, in front of Scott, who is with young Nate Moffatt.

News - Rideau-Goulbourn councillor Scott Moffatt was heading to the Marlborough Pub in North Gower with something to celebrate after he snagged more than 60 per cent of the vote in his rural south ward Monday, Oct. 27.

Moffatt faced off against first-time candidate Dan Scharf, an anti-wind turbine advocate and businessman from North Gower.

By 8:45 p.m. Moffatt had called the win and was heading out with family to celebrate at his brother’s establishment.

“It’s nice to have it over with,” Moffatt said, noting he was taking nothing for granted heading into the polls. “I felt good; we’ve done a lot of work and talked to a lot of people. It felt positive.”

But he was disappointed with the low voter turnout, which was around 42 per cent, especially since his op-

Canlok Stone

Inc.

ponent ran a large campaign to oust him.

“There wasn’t a lot of talk about the race; people felt it was over before it started, and that’s unfortunate,” Moffatt said.

His first priority when the new council convenes in December (with at least eight new faces) is to set a budget for 2015.

After that, he said waste management will be topic number one.

That includes fixing the Orgaworld contract, addressing outstanding green bin issues, discussing garbage pick-up schedules and dealing with the Plasco incineration plant delays.

“The waste management is going to be one of the biggest things we’ll deal with from day one,” he said.

It was a two-horse race in Rideau-Goulbourn, with Scharf forcing Moffatt into a tight campaign late in the season.

Scharf said he was disappointed with the outcome, but pleased with his cam-

paign team and what they were able to accomplish in a relatively short amount of time.

The waste management is going to be one of the biggest things we’ll deal with from day one.

SCOTT MOFFATT, RIDEAU-GOULBOURN COUNCILLOR

“In 12 weeks we went from zero to getting around 40 per cent (of the vote) and that’s quite an accomplishment,” Scharf said.

“I think we were able to enunciate some of the issues pretty clearly.”

Those issues, according to Scharf, include lowering development charges and fees in the rural wards so they can compete with surrounding rural municipalities.

“We try to treat the rural wards as a homogenous blend of what goes on in the city, and it doesn’t make a lot of sense,” he said.

Moffatt was first elected to council in 2010 after coming second against incumbent Glenn Brooks in 2006.

Moffatt is still among the younger councillors at city hall; at 33, the father of three has been equally busy at home and around the council table the past four years.

With a sprawling ward stretching from Manotick in the east to Munster in the west and as far south as Burritts Rapids, the ward’s issues often centre around road infrastructure, new developments (particularly in Richmond and Manotick) and the cost of city services.

In the Manotick corner of the ward, Moffatt has tackled a number of outstanding issues since starting his tenure, including the sale and development of Manotick’s historic Dickinson Square and the connection of Long Island and Van Vliet roads.

The system is expected to free up staff time to take care of more important tasks, like helping patrons find what they’re looking for and making sure library materials are being returned to circulation as fast as possible.

Greely is the first branch

in rural south Ottawa to receive the technology, which is also used extensively in hospitals and government identification like drivers’ licenses and passports.

The library began converting branches to RFID technology in 2012, beginning with the revamped Hazeldean branch in Kanata.

In 2013, a budget of $985,000 was earmarked to install the technology at branches in Emerald Plaza, Alta Vista and Nepean-Centrepointe.

Already this year, branches in Greenboro, Beaverbrook, Cumberland and Rockcliffe Park have received the technology along

The library will install radio frequency identification technology (RFID) at the branch, which is meant to

streamline the check-in and check-out processes.

Instead of manually having to scan each book, CD or DVD back into the library inventory manually, that work will be done instantly by a machine that can pick up a radio signal to let it know that the material has been returned to the

me, as the outsider,” she said. “The geography is huge, so trying to keep tabs on everybody and everything going on has been a challenge.”

Gorham’s replacement, Const.

Stephanie Lemieux, comes from a school resource officer background, so already has lots of experience connecting with residents, Gorham said.

Lemieux has also filled in for Gorham on holidays, and joined Gorham for this week’s Crime Prevention Week activities in an effort to get to know the community.

Gorham said she’s confident the transition will be an easy one – and promised to be just “an email away” for both Lemieux and residents as Lemieux gets settled.

“It’s been four and a half years for me, so it’s good to have fresh eyes come in,” Gorham said.

Lemieux starts on Nov. 10.

News - After four and a half years in Osgoode ward, Const. Nicole Gorham will leave the community in the hands of a new community police officer.

“It’s bittersweet,” said Gorham, who will leave the Rural South Community Police Centre on Parkway Road in Greely on Nov. 7.

She’ll start her new role as a use of force instructor at the Ottawa Police Services’ professional development centre at Algonquin College later this fall, after a trip to Ireland with her husband.

Gorham will teach defensive tactics to new recruits, and help recertify police officers already on the force.

While Gorham said she is looking forward to bringing her teaching skills to her day job – she’s a Goodlife fitness instructor on her time off – she said she’ll miss the friendships that inevitably grow from a commu-

nity policing position.

“It has been one of the most rewarding jobs in policing,” she said in an email to her extensive contact list.

Farm Boy Local Food Fair made a tasty impression

By David Johnston metroland media

Farm Boy’s Local Food Fair, Oct. 28 at the Train Yards location 665 Industrial Ave., showcased the wide variety of quality products to be found in Farm Boy stores.

The store was busy all day as curious customers sampled tasty treats, meats, sauces and more.

Farm Boy is committed to supporting local producers. The relationship with local food suppliers is a tasteful blend of everything from soup to nuts, almost literally.

“We currently have over 40 local supplier products in our stores - 17 were on hand sampling their products for the food fair and 24 new local vendors met with our Farm Boy buyers to pitch their products,” says Carolyn Trudel, Farm Boy’s Director of Marketing. “Small producers are unique and know that quality is what will make their product stand out.

It’s a great relationship that our customers appreciate.”

“Our stores are brimming with unique and tasty locally-made prod-

ucts and we’re always on the lookout for more, says Carolyn.” “We carry locally made produce, grocery, meat, seafood, dairy, deli, cheese, floral and bakery.

It’s the kind of event that can make all the difference for a small business trying to get established.

Hanna’s Bakery, makers of Perfect Pita, is a small, local company with a big future. Owner Charbel Hanna is proud that his product is popular at Farm Boy and across the region.

“Our pita is known as ‘Healthy Choice’ because it has no preservatives, no sugar and no fat,” says Hanna. “We are happy to have our products sold through Farm Boy stores. It has been a tremendous advantage for our business.”

Similarly Emily Peachey of Peachey Honey Farm had good things to say about working with Farm Boy. “We love our relationship with Farm Boy. It has really helped our business become established.”

Farm Boy customers were all smiles at the Food Fair. Eager to sample the delicious offerings, the store was buzzing with excitement.

Auntie Loo’s Treats Inc. owner Amanda Lunan was on hand at the Farm Boy Food Fair to hand out samples of her delicious, gluten-free treats. Picking up some desserts is Oliver McDonald.

40, 50-year milestones marked at Greely legion Life member receives 50-year pin Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

News - The Greely branch of the Royal Canadian Legion celebrated its 40th anniversary with an even bigger milestone: a 50-year pin for one of the branch’s founding members.

Kenneth Beek, a life member of the Greely branch, was honoured for his half-century of service at a ceremony on Sunday, Oct. 26 along with other Greely members marking membership milestones.

Beek, a Merrickville resident, comes from a military family: his father served in both world wars, and three of his uncles served in World War II. Beek spent 12 years in the Canadian army, including a 12-month tour as a UN peacekeeper between 1964 and 1965. He was stationed in what is now known as the Gaza strip, between Israel and Palestine. Throughout his 12year service Beek lived on bases in London, ON and Petawawa, ON, and spent time at CFB Gagetown in New Brunswick.

He first joined the Montgomery branch of the Royal Canadian Legion downtown Ottawa in 1964.

Ten years later, he had moved to Edwards in Osgoode Township, and joined a group of about 30 people who were in the process of founding the branch that would soon become the Greely legion.

They didn’t have a building at the time; instead, they met at Bruno’s restaurant on Hwy. 31. “They were mostly all veterans of the air force, navy or army,� Beek said. Some had

served in the Second World War and the Korean War, while others were simply servicemen in the armed forces, he added.

Over the next couple of years the legion grew to about 140 members, including a now-defunct ladies’ auxiliary of about 40 women.

Forty years later, Beek is a life member and past president of the branch, with 50 years of legion work behind him. “All of a sudden, you’re 75 years old and you know time goes very quickly and it sort of surprises you that (it was) 50 years ago,� Beek said. “A lot of water has gone under the bridge since that time.�

Over the years, the Greely legion has fundraised for local charities, projects and nonprofit groups, including the Perley and Rideau Veterans’ Health Centre, the Winchester District Memorial Hospital and the Osgoode Township Care Centre.

Beek was the legion’s representative on the care centre’s original board of directors in the 1980s, serving as the fundraising chairman. “They raised something like $90,000 over a period of

years and there were corporate donations, too,� Beek said. “It was a lot of work raising all that money.�

The certified engineering technologist is retired from active legion duty now, noting that it’s difficult to attend evening events when he lives outside of the city.

He said the biggest change KELLY KENT/METROLAND since he joined the legion Greely legion life member Kenneth Beek received his 50-year pin on Sunday, Oct. 26 – other than the fact that non- during the legion’s 40th anniversary honours ceremony. service members can join – is how much exposure the legion and its work now gets. “It’s become more conspicuous,� he said. “I think the poppy campaign every year is a means of publicly keeping the veterans’ memory in the public eye. The legion is at the forefront in that, with Remembrance Day and the poppy campaign.

To all our participants, sponsors and supporters who helped He encouraged Canadians make the 2014 Fall cleanup a success, thank you for to wear a poppy during Reyour continued support!

The legion handed out a Sponsors: number of pins on Oct. 26 to members with a range of service beginning at five years.

A fresh start at city hall

I

t would be easy to suggest on the heels of the Oct. 27 election that Ottawa residents cast a ballot for more of the same.

Upon closer examination, however, there are indications that the latest city council will be nearly as different from the class of 2010-14 as that group was from the Larry O’Brien years.

Four years ago, there were 10 new councillors elected, including six who toppled incumbents. Eight of those 2010 rookies were re-elected in 2014, some by substantial margins (Tim Tierney, who edged out Beacon Hill-Cyrville incumbent Michel Bellemare by less than 200 votes in his first campaign captured 82 per cent of the vote this time around). These councillors won’t need time to find their feet next month when the new term gets underway; they’ll hit the ground running.

Six veteran councillors stepped down ahead of the election - Peter Hume, Diane Holmes, Maria McRae, Rainier Bloess, Doug Thompson, and Steve Desroches - taking with them 124 years worth of political experience. Their knowledge and wisdom

will be missed around the council table.

Eight brand new councillors will join the ranks of those returning, and will inject new ideas and bring fresh attitudes to debates at city hall. Some, such as Catherine McKenney and Michael Qaqish, have worked at city hall for a number of years, while others will face a steeper learning curve.

Those factors alone will shape the face of Ottawa’s municipal government in important ways. New alliances will be formed and old positions will be discarded.

Yet beyond the ranks of councillors, another factor will loom large over the next four years: Jim Watson’s significant mandate. It could be argued the mayor faced little in the way of competition, but that didn’t stop Ottawans from voting for him (he received 58,000 more votes in 2014 than he did in 2010). He’s been re-elected to carry on the work he started during the last term, and he’ll have every right to push that vision through.

While there will be 15 familiar faces returning city hall this time around, it should be anything but dull.

ith the season almost over, I finally got around to checking out the Ottawa RedBlacks and their new stadium. I think it would be a good thing if the CFL survives in Ottawa, and wonder if it will, given its past history.

This season is a good test and so far the results are encouraging. The team won only two games at home, yet the fans turned out faithfully and cheered enthusiastically. That’s a good sign, especially when you assume that future teams won’t be as bad.

The stadium itself is impressivelooking from the outside, although there are those who think TD could lower its signage profile somewhat.

Anyway, from all accounts, there are places you can sit to get away from all that.

At least the drunks were friendly.

Also, the stadium atmosphere was fine, staff was friendly and helpful, and the lines for various things moved along all right. Security was not oppressive, despite recent events.

I liked that the crowd did its own thing. Frequently, they were urged on scoreboards to MAKE SOME NOISE. They ignored that and made noise when they felt like. For some reason, the French word “mouchoir,� used when a penalty flag was dropped and announced, invariably inspired a chant of “moooo-shwaw!�

Hard to imagine that happening anywhere else. It’s an Ottawa thing.

That’s what cities need more of – their own thing. So I welcomed the lumberjack mascot, Big Joe, and even the oh-so-Ottawa politically correct discussion about what his name should be.

And if you want a distinctly local flavour, how could you not love the cheesy touchdown celebration, which consists of the Algonquin Loggersports Team cutting a piece off a log with a chainsaw. Are you going to see that anywhere else?

A lot of smart things have been done to give the Redblacks a local identity, none more inspiring than the decision to hire local legend Lucky Ron Burke to sing in honour of the team during one of the breaks.

That’s what the fans want, more Lucky Ron. Also, more chainsaw action and fewer mouchoirs.

More wins will help, and it’s EDITORIAL: MANAGING EDITOR: 4HERESA &RITZ

Ottawa daycare providers fight Bill 10 Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - Ottawa’s independent child care workers want parents in the city to know proposed changes to the Ontario Day Nurseries Act will affect families negatively.

The Coalition of Independent Childcare Providers of Ontario held 11 protests across Ontario on Oct. 26 to draw attention to the Liberal government’s proposed childcare modernization act and what it could mean for independent daycare providers.

The child care modernization act, Bill 10, will replace the Day Nurseries Act, which was first introduced in 1946 and has not been reviewed since 1983. According to the Liberal government, the changes will reflect child care needs of today’s families. The changes will increase access to spaces in each licensed home child care settings from five to six.

According to the province, by allowing daycare providers to take in one more child will add 6,000 licensed spots.

It would also change the number of children a daycare provider would be allowed to have under a certain age; each home daycare would only be able to accept two children under the age of two.

The government would also have greater enforcement tools to strengthen safety and clarify programs that do not require a licence.

Proposed changes would also require anyone working within the early childhood education field to be registered with the College of Early Childhood Educators, including individuals providing care in unlicensed settings.

The Ottawa protest took place at the Human Rights Monument adjacent to city hall, where child care workers, parents and supporters rallied to help spread the word about the changes.

“We want people to join the coalition and join the fight,” said Heidi Higgins, co-founder of the coalition.

Higgins spoke about what the coalition believes would

happen if the changes to the act were implemented in Bill 10.

Higgins said is its unnecessary to change the number of children allowed at each licensed facility, such as two children under the age of two as well as the individual daycare provider’s children counting as children in their care.

Higgins added the greatest need for daycare spots is parents seeking a spot for a child 12 months old – at the usual end of a maternity leave – and with the proposed two-children-under-two rule, daycares will be unable to fill that need and it will ultimately limit the number of spaces available, resulting in what the coalition calls the loss of 140,000 daycare spots in Ontario. Higgins said that most daycare providers worry about the safety of adding another child – six, up from five – and the restriction of having only two children under the age of two will likely result in home daycares closing.

She said that will result in the exact opposite to what the Liberals hope to achieve by reduc-

ing spaces.

Daycare provider Sharon Higginson believes moving from five to six children in a home daycare wouldn’t be safe.

“I cannot add a child to the five I already have,” said Higginson. “It would not be fair to the five monkeys I am already taking care of.”

Nepean-Carleton MPP and current Progressive Conservative leadership candidate Lisa MacLeod, who spoke at the rally, said she will support independent daycare providers at Queen’s Park, and called into question the current changes the Liberals would like to make.

“Mothers will be impacted,” MacLeod said. “I think its wrong and I will stand against it.”

MacLeod added, along with PC education critic Garfield Dunlop, plans to start a petition asking the current government to listen to daycare providers about what these proposed changes will actually do to daycare in the province, are in

Inclusive drum circle expands to legion emma.jackson@metroland.com

Community - Rhythm is the first known method of communication.

So says Ottawa percussionist Derek Debeer, who leads a monthly therapeutic drum circle in Manotick.

“The children have figured out that music is one language,” Debeer said.

The 65-year-old musician from Zimbabwe makes a living teaching privately, but also works with kids through classrooms and community events offering what he calls a “rhythm safari.”

Now, drum circle organizer Nathalie Wendling wants to open up that safari to even more people by moving her small basement group to the Manotick branch of the Royal Canadian Legion.

On Friday, Nov. 7, people of all ages, abilities and backgrounds are welcome to the legion between 6:30 and 7:30 p.m. to “connect through music.”

Since last February, between nine and 15 people have joined Debeer for the monthly session that Wendling started in her basement to help her daughter, Melanie.

Melanie has Cornelia de Lange syndrome (CdLS), a chromosomal disorder which can cause a number of physical and developmental delays.

Over the winter, Melanie was too ill to attend school or participate in her regular activities.

With most programs for kids with special needs focussed downtown, Wendling said it was doubly hard to get Melanie out of the house and meeting other people.

“I said we need to get something in Ottawa South where these kids can meet people and do an activity,” Wendling said.

That’s when she connected with Debeer.

“It’s so social. It’s community support,” she said. “This is what we were missing in Manotick.”

Already the group has proven a positive experience for people in the community.

Osgoode resident Robert Chartier, who has cerebral palsy, said he loves having a place to play his music with other people.

“I’m part native so I drum a lot,” he said. “I just love drumming.”

Valerie Hodge has been a regular since the beginning, bringing her entire family including her son Zachary, who has Treacher Collins syndrome.

Hodge said the circle has been good for him, even if he doesn’t always drum.

“He certainly enjoys being there,” Hodge said. “He likes to watch, and he learns by watching. It’s such a safe environment and it’s so dynamic.”

Wendling said she only asks that people RSVP at drummmm.circle@ gmail.com before joining the group.

Otherwise, no experience is needed.

She said she hopes to attract 30 people.

The session costs $2 per child aged eight to 14 and for any persons with special needs. Youth aged 15 to 18 cost $5 and adults pay $10. Children under the age of eight are free.

The legion is located at 5550 Ann St. across from the Mews.

“We tried very hard to get the message out,” Harder said.

“There was that concerted effort, but I think it’s just a testament to what a great job she would do and the respect she has in the community,” Harder said.

“I’m her mom and I support all my children, but in this case, life happens.”

Until the newly elected representatives get sworn in on Dec. 2, the trustee for Zone 4 is Alison Baizana.

It’s still unclear if the school board could appoint Warren, the second-place candidate, if Steenbakkers withdraws, or if a byelection would have to be held.

“We are still getting clarification on that from elections Ottawa,” said Mardi de Kemp, spokesperson for the Ottawa Catholic School Board.

“The decision I am making is a personal one,” she wrote in the Oct. 3 statement. “In the last two weeks, we have had a significant and unexpected change at home. My kids need me here right now and I need to be here. I need to put my family first.”

Steenbakkers’ mother, Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder, said her daughter is evaluating her options in consultation with the school board and is not speaking to reporters at this time.

“They will be working on this together,” Harder said.

In her Oct. 3 statement, Steenbakkers said she “does not want the Ottawa Catholic board to incur expenses in the case that a byelection is required if she is elected.”

Harder said Steenbakkers and both their election teams were “actively campaigning against” her election as

Watson coasts to victory with historic mandate Brian Craddock and Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Jim Watson swept back into the mayor’s seat with an unprecedented mandate from voters in support of his plan for extending light rail.

Six months of serious campaigning paid off yet again for Watson, as he was re-elected with the 76 per cent of the popular vote – the highest vote share in electoral history for the amalgamated City of Ottawa. That’s up from Watson’s 48 per cent vote share in the 2010 election, when he defeated former mayor Larry O’Brien.

In his speech, Watson made an effort to thank some of his most important friends and staff who worked on his campaign by name, and made a point of working in references to the main part of

his re-election campaign: Ottawa’s LRT expansion.

“I’m excited for the next steps we’ll take together,” Watson said “My friends, we’ll do great things over the next four years, we’ll open the Confederation Line of light-rail transit.

“The strong mandate will allow us to build on our shared vision for the city ... an inclusive city, a green city, an affordable city, and a city that takes care of its most vulnerable,” he said.

Even though he knew he was the frontrunner, Watson said he put in as much effort as he would have if he had a serious challenger.

“I worked very hard, and my team did a remarkable job, and I’m very proud of that,” he said.

With eight candidates, the most standout challenger, Mike Maguire, only garnered 18.6 per cent of the vote – still, an improvement on Maguire’s 2.5 per cent vote share when he ran for mayor in 2010.

That election took place after

O’Brien’s leadership left the city bruised by a fractured city council, major transit strike and a trail over whether O’Brien bribed a rival candidate in the 2006 election (he was found not guilty).

Watson came into power in 2010 with a mandate to repair city council’s working relationship. He set out a plan for the next four years that included proactive measures to address transparency and accountability at city hall.

It was Watson’s second term as mayor of Ottawa – he was first elected in the old city as a councillor for the Glebe and later, mayor in 1997 with 82 per cent of the popular vote.

His first term as mayor of the amalgamated city saw him preside over a number of big issues and plans, including the transportation master plan that set out a strategy for expanding light rail; the city’s Official Plan, which held the urban boundary back from expansion; and a debate over where to expand gambling in Ottawa.

He eventually supported a plan to lim1023.R0012957284

Another issue that has lingered with voters is the city’s reduction in garbage pick-up, which was changed to biweekly service in 2012 in hopes of encouraging people to recycle organic waste in green bins, which are emptied weekly.

The move was said to save around $10 million, but the clawback of a core service hasn’t sat well with many voters and grew to become an election issue during the campaign.

focused on reinstating weekly garbage pickup. Maguire picked up on the trash discontent by advocating for garbage incineration.

Watson styled the election as sort of a referendum for light rail and campaigned on a platform of moving foward with light rail instead of “hitting the reset button” again.

Maguire wanted to scrap Watson’s LRT plan, which council voted last year to put into the city’s long-term transportation plan, and instead convert existing rail lines through the city into lower-capacity commuter rail routes at a lower cost.

Local author tells untold story of Canadian merchant marine fleet News - The book Splendid Fleet tells the remarkable tale of how the Canadian government in a bold stroke for independence defied Britain in 1916 and began plans to build a fleet of 63 ships.

The move brought Canada into the industrial age and was a first step into making Canada a great trading nation.

The fleet steamed the seven seas, carrying Canada’s name and Canada’s goods to every continent: from Australia to Asia, from Africa to the Americas, to ports all over Europe and Great Britain, as well as along Canada’s west and east coasts and to the great inland sea of Hudson Bay. Author Charles Coffin, a sailor in the Royal Canadian Navy for 21 years, spent more than a decade researching this little known nugget of Canadian history.

He was motivated by a love of the sea instilled by his father, a merchant

mariner, and his great uncle who skippered four merchant ships.

Coffin died five years ago, before he could finish, and the text was organized by Editor Ivan Fenton into three inter-connected sections.

The first describes the vision, the creation, the aggressive marketing and eventually the Canadian Government Merchant Marine’s demise after years of butting its head against the Great Depression.

The book gives unique insights into the political stakes and commercial pressures that accompanied every stage of the Canadian Government Merchant Marine’s life, from its creation in 1918 to its end in 1936.

It also covers the saga of the 15 shipyards that built the fleet.

The second section profiles the 63 ships of the fleet from launch to sinking or breakup at the end of their days.

Coffin provides ship specifications, and details the cargoes and the

voyages of each ship. Through the 20s and 30s, tragedy stalked many ships. Some, like Canadian Trader in 1928, disappeared with their entire crew.

Thirteen ships bought or captured

by Japan were sunk during World War 2 by American submarines or aircraft. Tragedy was frequent, hardship common.

The third section consists of appendices for the historian, details and charts that fairly shout with excitement, revealing a treasure trove of historical gems.

They range from a list of ship masters and sample rates of pay, to market values for the ships, to Cabinet decisions on selling vessels of the fleet.

The importance of planning and designing your project

When planning your outdoor space Nepean’s own Canlok Stone canlok.com understands it can be overwhelming, especially when it comes to finding the right landscaper for the job. However, many in the Ottawa-Carlton region have found that some research and a focus on your project’s goal can be significant factors in making it successful.

Before finding a landscaper, take some time to learn about your space by taking good measurements and considering

exactly what it is you want to do with it. This can go a long way when working with your contractor to figure out how to best arrive at your desired outcome.

If you’re working on the project by yourself, planning and getting accurate measurements is even more essential, as without them your project likely won’t be completed correctly, if at all.

It’s also important to visualize what your space looks like now and what it will become.

To make your project an easy and successful one, reach out to Canlok Stone. With 43 years of experience, they know how to help you complete your project correctly, safely and with ease all at a great price as well. To learn more about Canlok Stone, visit them online canlok.com, call 613-828-7686 or visit their showroom in person at 950 Moodle Drive in Nepean.

Broadcast nationally and covered by media across the country, tens of thousands of Canadians choose to show their respect by attending this ceremony each year.

Remembrance Day

November 11 is a day we remember You might think the legacy of World War One hangs on by a tenuous thread — as sad as it is, there are no longer any living veterans of that war.

But we have the red poppy pins, In Flanders Fields, and countless books and movies to keep the story alive and to remind us of what Canadians won and lost in the conflict of 1914-1918. Here are a few of the reads that best recount the era, with all its glory and losses.

Youth fiction. The book Road to War: A First World War Girls’ Diary, 1916-1917 is a fictionalized first-person account that makes it real. The author puts a young woman in an active role as a WWI ambulance driver on the French front.

Youth non-fiction. The Horrible Histories Handbook: Trenches Would You Survive World War One? Is an engaging look at the stark realities of ground warfare with great illustrations. non-fiction. For a Pulitzer-prize winning overview, read The Guns of August: The Outbreak of World War One, by Barbara W. Tuchman. For a contemporary re-examining of Canada’s role in the conflict, check out military historian Gwynne Dyer’s Canada in the Great Power Game: 19142014. For an interesting twist, try Canadian anthropologist Wade Davis’ sweeping account of World War One and what it meant for mountaineering; it’s called Into the Silence: The Great War, Mallory, and the Conquest of Everest. novels. First published in 1920, Erich Maria Remarque’s All Quiet on the Western Front has become a classic. For the romantically inclined, Birdsong, by Sebastian Faulks, has been on best book lists for the last 21 years.

Parents of Preemies brings big support Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com

Community - Nicole Lyons was 33 weeks along in her pregnancy when, without warning, her life changed forever.

Arriving at hospital less than an hour after calling in sick to work, Lyons gave birth to her son, Joseph, eight weeks premature. Lyons and her husband were completely unprepared, she said, and suddenly had to learn what having a preemie meant.

Nearly two years later, Lyons said giving birth to a preemie has shown her how little support there is for families who find themselves facing the many problems related to a premature birth. Lyons has set out to change that.

Beginning in March 2014, Lyons launched the Parents of Preemies Association, and has since delivered 250 support packages to families of newborn preemies still in hospital, as well as having 205 support group members.

The not-for-profit group is

working to fill a gap for families with preemies, said the clinical manager for Ottawa Hospital’s neonatal intensive care unit, Janet Brintnell.

“There is not a lot of support or resources currently in the community after (preemies are) discharged,” she said.

After her own experience, Lyons said families are in need of more support both in and out of hospital.

UNPREPARED

Lyons said she and her husband arrived at the hospital unprepared for their little boy to arrive.

“We didn’t have anything packed,” she said. “We didn’t have a crib set up or anything …

We had nothing at the hospital.

We never even finished our prenatal class.”

But Joseph came anyway, and Lyons gave birth. But the flurry of activity didn’t end there. On top of having to purchase preemie-sized clothes and otherwise preparing their home for Joseph’s arrival, Lyons wor-

ried over the many complications that are common in preemie births: feeding issues, reflux from underdeveloped stomachs, weight loss, brain bleeds and bradycardia, which is when the heartrate gets too slow.

“Watching your baby turn blue is the most terrifying experience ever, and that’s really common,” said Lyons.

Often, parents aren’t allowed to touch their baby, which can cause another kind of trauma for the parents. It was a month before Joseph could finally go home for good, she said, and even then, she and her husband’s worries weren’t over. “(Preemies) have very low immune systems,” she said, meaning parents are isolated from their friends and family while they deal with the rigours of caring for their child, feeding them every few hours in an effort to keep their weight up.

Even now, nearly two years later, Lyons doesn’t know if her son is finished dealing with being born premature. “It’s not just growth, it’s also later on; the (baby’s) development. Learning

disabilities are huge,” she said.

“So are we out of the woods now that he is a healthy, almost two-year-old? We are not sure.”

The couple was also left dealing with their own trauma from the situation, she said. “Many families actually deal with posttraumatic stress disorder, and it goes untreated.”

That is one of the issues the Parents of Preemies Association is trying to help with, providing a support network for new preemie parents to families who have dealt with a premature birth themselves. The group regularly sends care packages to parents unexpectedly in the hospital without the items they need, like shampoo and hand sanitizer so that they can spend more time with their babies rather than having to get these items themselves. They hope to send out 600 packages a year.

The organization is also working to create libraries at the neonatal intensive care units at CHEO and the General campus, to be named after Caden, a baby boy who died after being born at 25 weeks.

STEPHANIE MASON PHOTOGRAPHY

Nicole Lyons sits with her nearly two-year-old boy, Joseph, who was born eight weeks premature. Lyons has since started an organization dedicated to supporting parents with preemies.

The libraries will be stocked with children’s books that parents can read to their children, said Lyons. “A lot of times you can’t hold and you can’t touch your baby, so parents often feel left out of the care of their child, which is so detrimental,” she said. The group’s goal is to ultimately make life easier for parents of preemies. “We can’t

take away that their child is in the hospital or that they are at home and they are isolated and all these other issues that are going on, but we can support them, and if there are bigger problems, (we can) connect them with other people that are going through the same thing,” she said.

BRIER DODGE/METROLAND

Shauna Quinn is asking for diaper donations for the Bare Bottoms Diaper Drive at the McDaniel’s Independent Grocer near Merivale and Meadowlands.

Nepean diaper drive collects for the Ottawa Food Bank Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

News - When Shauna Quinn gave birth to her daughter, her family experienced the financial struggle of a newborn. Extra costs arrived every day, ranging from food, equipment, clothing, and the dozen or so diapers a newborn often goes through each day.

So she decided to do something to help mothers in difficult financial shape.

She started a diaper drive, now in its fifth year, to collect diapers for the Ottawa Food Bank to distribute to families in need or in shelters.

While online, she noticed a program that collected diapers to distribute, and tried to find something local in Ottawa.

“There was nothing in Canada,” she said. “So I started my own.”

Disposable diapers come in seven sizes – newborn and then one through six – but parents often move their child into the next size as soon as possible.

If a baby wears a too small diaper, things can get messy quickly, Quinn said.

That means it’s common for parents to have half a package or more of unused

and undersized that are prime for donating, she said.

“You always have leftover diapers,” she said. “You don’t wait until your child reaches the end of the size to transition.”

The Ottawa Food Bank doesn’t accept open food items, but they make an exception for open packs of disposable diapers.

By donating to the Ottawa Food Bank, they can allocate diapers where they are most needed on a year-by-year basis.

From birth to the pottytraining stage, a child goes through an average of 7,500 diapers, Quinn said – a cost

of about $3,000. The first year of the diaper drive, she collected 7,500. This year, she aims to pass the 10,000 mark.

She has set up a drop-off at the McDaniel’s Independent Grocer near Merivale and Meadowlands, where she works. She is actively looking for a second dropoff location, preferably in the east end.

Anyone wishing to get in contact about donations or to set up a drop-off spot can contact Quinn at BareBottoms@outlook.com.

Three-course meal to spoil palates, fund accessible playground Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News - A mouth-watering meal is in the works to help fund a new adaptive playground for children with developmental challenges.

School council volunteers at Clifford Bowey Public School in south Ottawa, which serves 104 students

ages four to 21, have since April been busy preparing for the school’s first ever sit-down dinner fundraiser planned for Nov. 15.

“I feel it’s important to work as a community and support people who need to grow, especially for younger people who need to have a stronger mind and body connection, help them get more confidence, help them R0012971679

want to go to school that much more often,” Parliamentary restaurant chef Justin Scott, who will prepare the three-course meal for guests at the school’s cafeteria.

Funds raised through $45 ticket sales for the event, which will also feature a silent auction, will help the school pay for the installation of a new accessible play structure for senior students, ages eight to 21.

The school’s current playground equipment for senior students is wooden, and sand covers the area around a swing set in the yard, creating a barrier to students who rely on walkers or wheelchairs or have other mobility issues, said Clifford Bowey school principal Laurie Kavanagh.

“They can’t access the play structure, and it’s outdated,” she said. The school installed a brand new playground in 2011 for primary students up to age seven for $135,000.

The new structure will cost almost $200,000, and parents and school staff are hoping it can be put in place next summer, complete with a rubberized surface beneath.

The Ottawa-Carleton District School Board will contribute funds, but the school council of parent vol-

unteers, through the registered notfor-profit Clifford Bowey School Foundation, is doing what it can to help financially.

“The pot of money that the school board has only stretches so far,” said Kavanagh. “So as a school we do whatever we can to enhance our programming and at this point our focus is on our senior yard.

The foundation is also applying for grants so the school can realize its dream.

“Because a lot of our parents have a lot on their plate and they can’t contribute a much as maybe in a regular school, so that’s why we thought we’d try something that would involve more of the general community,” said school council volunteer Françoise Slaunwhite.

FINE DINING

Chef Scott developed the theme of the dinner: Chef Night – Savour Autumn. The menu is based on local produce and food.

“The first course is a roasted butternut squash with a honey ginger vinaigrette with raw kale and some pumpkin seeds,” Scott said.

“And that’s just the appetizer,” Slaunwhite said with a laugh.

The main course will include mulligatawny with chicken, rice, seasonal vegetables and special seasonings.

A dessert of chocolate avocado maple mouse with bee pollen and oatmeal praline and pear flambé will be served.

“The menu that Justin came up with, it’s not only delicious but it’s dairy-free and gluten-free and there’s an option for the main entree to have it vegan,” Slaunwhite said. “It caters to all tastes.”

Slaunwhite, whose five-year-old daughter is in her second year at the school, said one of the goals of the event is to invite the community in so they can gain a better appreciation of what goes on at the school, one of two schools of its kind in the public board. The school also serves students from the Ottawa Catholic School Board.

An exhibit of unique student learning materials, such as assisted devices for speech and touch math sets will be on display during the event.

Mother puts decorative touch on salt pork barrel kitchen.

Once again she lamented that on her very first visit to the farm in Northcote, when she came face to face with the sauerkraut and salt pork barrels, smack in the middle of the kitchen, she was ready to race right back to New York.

She said she was greatly relieved when Father assured her the sauerkraut barrel would be moved to the summer kitchen as soon as the brine had settled, where it would freeze solid.

But that still left the little saltpork barrel.

Father said it needed the warmth of the kitchen, and besides, it had sat in the very same spot for three generations, and furthermore, there was no other place to put it.

And so every day, once fall had settled in, there sat the lidless barrel, with nothing but

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories a big dinner plate covering the opening, and ever so much smaller than the one that held the sauerkraut. But as far as Mother was concerned, it was a real eyesore.

And that’s when Mother got the idea that she would make a skirt for the barrel. She had enough Dan River material left over from two blouses she had made for Audrey and me, and it would do nicely to cover the unsightly salt pork barrel.

So one morning, after we had heard the old foot pedal churning away on the Singer sewing machine long after we had gone to bed, we came

down to find the little barrel covered from top to bottom with a mauve and yellow flowered skirt. Since there was no lid on the barrel (the plate had been removed), Mother had simply made the skirt with a round inset at the top, and both Audrey and I thought the whole idea added a lovely touch to the kitchen.

“Nonsense,” we could hear Father mutter in his saucer of green tea when he came in from his morning chores in the barn, scanning a look in the corner of the kitchen near the ice box. Mother paid him no heed. She had even moved one

Travac Tours

of the straight backed kitchen chairs, the only one with arms on it and the one Father favoured, to sit on at the dinner table, beside the little barrel, and commented that it now looked like a little end table.

She reminded us not to set anything on top, though, as the small circle of material covering the top wouldn’t hold.

So there it sat, adding a bit of colour to that corner of the kitchen. Father added “nuisance” to his complaints about the Dan River skirt, because now he had to take it off to fork out a slab of salt-pork. Often, he just let it lie in a heap on the floor by the little barrel, which annoyed Mother almost as much as when Father slurped his tea out of his saucer.

Aunt Bertha on the next farm thought the skirt was a lovely idea and said she was going to do the same thing to their little pork barrel. Everyone thought it was fine except Father.

Our minister never seemed to have a reason to pay a visit.

But his call always seemed to be at mealtime, which Mother said assured him of at least one good meal that day.

And so that Saturday, just before noon dinner, in walked the minister, Bible in hand, and even though it was a cold fall day, with snow flurries dusting through the air, the sweat was pouring off his round, fat face.

Mother took his coat, and told him to “please be seated, Reverend.” He headed for the armed chair, plopped down like a sack of grain, wiped his face with the sleeve of his black shirt, and placed his bible on top of the pork barrel.

It was a big Bible, and well worn. It was the one he carried up to the pulpit every Sunday.

Well, it sunk into the pork barrel, like a stone in a wash tub, taking most off the skirt with it.

He looked at it for what seemed like a full minute, and then reached down into

the barrel and pulled it out. It was covered with salt water, and brine crystals had already settled on the cover of the Bible.

Mother rushed over, grabbed the Bible and was wiping it up and down on her apron as she headed for the dish pan and a dry tea towel.

The minister decided he’d be on his way – he’d be back on another day, he said, never taking his eyes off the pork barrel, now with most of the skirt inside it. It looked like the Bible was finished.

But that Sunday, there he was, walking up the aisle to the front of the church with the four members of the choir, and the battered Bible clutched in his hand.

He always nodded to those in the pews, but he didn’t give us as much as glance.

Emerson swore he could smell salt pork off the minister as he passed us at our usual place in the very front row.

Federal government rolls out tax cuts, increased benefits for families Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Submitted

Democratic Reform Minister Pierre Poilievre, who serves as member of parliament for Nepean-Carleton, joins families in Manotick in celebrating the Conservative government’s tax-relief measures for families on Oct. 31.

News - The federal government is rolling out tax cuts and increased benefits for Canadian families with children to help them offset childcare costs, and provide additional financial relief for other expenses.

The changes include a boost in the universal childcare benefit for families with children under age six, from $1,200 a year per child to $1,920. That takes effect Jan. 1, 2015.

And families with children ages

six to 17 will also receive financial relief to the tune of $60 per month for children aged six to 17, which translates into $720 per child each year, the federal government announced late last week.

That benefit also comes into effect Jan. 1, 2015, and parents will receive their first lump-sum payment next July 1, to allow the government to put the payment system in place for four million families.

Following that, parents will begin receiving monthly universal childcare benefit payments.

“The idea is that childcare is

much more expensive in the preschool period and then the education system picks up the cost of the daily childcare once the kids reach six years old,” said Democratic Reform Minister Pierre Poilievre, Nepean-Carleton member of parliament.

“So the benefit is more generous in the preschool period.”

But the federal government wanted to help families with older children with expenses such as groceries, sports, and housing, among others.

Income splitting on the way for parents with kids under 18 Continued from page 32

Families in which one parent works full time and the second parent either stays at home with the children or works part time and earns less will be taxed at a lower rate beginning next year.

Parents of children under age 18 will be able to split the higher of their two incomes on their tax forms, which Poilievre said will help almost two million Canadian families.

The higher-earning spouse will be able to transfer up to

$50,000 of their taxable income to the spouse in a lower tax bracket to reduce the tax bill by as much as $2,000.

“It recognizes that a stayat-home parent is doing a job and arguably is partly responsible for the salary that the breadwinner is bringing home,” Poilievre said.

“If the breadwinner of the house is able to get up (and go to work) between nine and five as the stay-at-home parent is taking care of the children and the household, and therefore their income really is shared because it is a team

effort.

“And the tax system is now going to recognize that.”

As a result of Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s family tax cut and increased childcare benefit, the average Canada family with children will have an extra $1,100 in their pocket.

There are an estimated four million families with children in Canada.

“That’s a lot of money for the average Canadian household,” said Poilievre.

The Conservative government’s vision to support fam-

ilies makes sense compared to that of the New Democrats and Liberals who support “institutional, unionized childcare bureaucracies,” Poilievre said.

“Whereas we believe in just giving the dollars back to parents.”

The Harper government wants families to decide what to do with their childcare benefit and tax savings, whether they spend these additional funds on childcare or other expenses.

“Our view is that these are decisions for parents to

make,” he said.

“The government should let people keep more of their money and make those decisions for themselves, rather than having a top-down, onesize-fits-all institutional program.”

The new family tax cut, which was promised by the Conservatives in the 2011 election, will come into effect for the 2014 tax year when parents file their taxes next spring.

They can expect to see their refunds before Christmas 2015.

EXTRA MEASURES

The federal government has also announced plans to increase childcare expense deduction dollar limits by $1,000, effective for the 2015 taxation year.

The maximum amounts claimed will increase to $8,000 for children under age seven, to $5,000 for children aged seven through 16 (and infirm dependent children over age 16), and to $11,000 for children who are eligible for the disability tax credit.
