Cops seek suspect in ‘brazen’ B&Es Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Ottawa investigators are trying to identify a suspect they believe may be responsible for kicking in the doors of 16 homes and stealing valuables.

“Based on the method of entry and what was taken, I do believe the same suspect was (involved),” said Det. Mark Bouwmeester, with the east district break and enter unit.

Fifth charged after taxi protest Staff

Old-Fashioned Winter Fun!

A fifth out-of-town man has been charged in connection with a day of action held at taxi dispatch company, Coventry Connections, last November.

A 48-year-old Windsor, Ont., man is facing a mischief charge and was scheduled to appear in court on Jan. 7.

The charge, laid in December by central district investigators but not announced until Jan. 5, came on the heels of the arrests of four other men, all of them from out of town, in connection with the Nov. 13 demonstration.

In that first round of charges, a Woodstock man was charged with assault, break and enter and mischief. A Meaford man and another from Whitby are each facing two counts of assault, break and enter and mischief, while a Brantford man was charged with assault and mischief, police said on Dec. 4.

Hundreds of Unifor union members were bused in for the November demonstration from as far away as Montreal, Sudbury, Sarnia, London, Toronto and Windsor to show solidarity with airport taxi fleet drivers.

A fifth man is facing a mischief charge in connection with a demonstration at taxi dispatch company, Coventry Connections, last November.

They have been locked out of the airport since Aug. 11 for refusing to abide by their next contract, which included a fee increase.

Throughout the morning on Nov. 13, the demonstrators chanted for “a fair deal” while standing on the front lawn of the company’s headquarters.

Police were called in to investigate reports that several union members had pushed their way into the building earlier that morning, injuring staff and damaging computers and telephones.

Coventry officials said the vandalism cut dispatch servic-

es to drivers as far away as Niagara Falls and St. Catherines for about three hours.

Though it seemed a deal was close in the dispute in recent weeks, Coventry’s president and chief executive Hanif Patni told Metroland Media he had not yet signed off on any agreement. This, despite Unifor’s announcement that the labour dispute was at an end and the airport drivers had agreed to be disbanded and join Coventry’s other cab companies, including BlueLine.

lar style break and enter in the Ridgemont and Southgate areas since Dec. 30.

Bouwmeester said these incidents illustrate that locking your door isn’t always enough.

He recommends locking away expensive jewelry and family heirlooms in a home safe.

“Most people leave that stuff on their night tables and in dresser drawers,” Bouwmeester said.

“An alarm always helps,” he said, adding that installing a video camera is a good idea, but this is mostly helpful after a crime has been committed.

The suspect is described as a Caucasian male, between 25 and 35 years old. He is fivefoot-10 to six feet tall, with a thin to medium build. He has facial hair on his chin. During the incident on video, he had a backpack and was wearing a dark-coloured tuque and darkcoloured clothing.

Police urge anyone with any information on these incidents to contact Bouwmeester by calling 613-236-1222, ext.

3412, or call in anonymous tips to Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-8477.

In each case, a thief kicked in the front or side door and stole jewelry from bedroom dresser drawers, cash and some electronics, such as laptops and iPads, Bouwmeester said.

In a few of the incidents, people were actually at home at the time. The suspect was, on occasion, able to snatch some items before his presence was noticed.

“In some of the incidents it was too late so he wasn’t scared off until he had obtained some items,” the detective said, adding that he doesn’t believe the suspect intended to physically harm anyone.

Still, the rash of break and enters is worrisome.

“I would characterize this as brazen because many of (the crimes) were during the middle of the day,” Bouwmeester said.

“However, no one’s safety was in jeopardy. There were no threats made to anyone.”

The detective said this recent crime spree is unusual given the way the break and enters were committed.

“Overall, the city’s still very

safe,” he noted. “This doesn’t happen often.”

In the most recent case, a suspect kicked in the front door of a home in the Ridgemont neighbourhood and took jewelry on Dec. 23 around 6 p.m., according to police.

He was caught on video surveillance, and the police breakand-enter team released the footage and still images on Jan. 5 in the hope that someone can help identify the suspect.

In the edited video, a man can be seen arriving by bike, turning around and mule kicking the door from behind, Bouwmeester explained, adding the male suspect is then seen entering the premises and then later can be seen leaving.

Fifteen other homes in the Ridgemont area as well as residences near the Southgate Shopping Centre were broken into in the same manner, between Dec. 11 and 30.

All of the crimes were committed between 2 and 10 p.m., police said.

At the time of some of the incidents, the suspect was seen riding a bicycle.

OPINION

Now trending: Dry January

J

ust in time for New Year, newly elected MP and former broadcaster Seamus O’Regan announced he was entering a program to help him live life without booze.

“I’ve decided after consultation with family that I can be most effective as a Member of Parliament by adopting an alcohol free lifestyle,” O’Regan tweeted.

It was a brave move.

O’Regan will face a number of critics and naysayers. He may even fail completely.

But to take the bold step to consider going alcoholfree before launching a new career that will see him chalking up frequent and potentially free-booze-filled flyer miles from his home in Newfoundland, late evening sessions in Parliament, dinners with free drinks overwhelmingly shoved under his nose, I say hats off to him.

easy, it was laughable. I didn’t know how I’d ever consumed too much wine.

The first dinner party with the in-laws was moderately challenging, but I had my weight loss goal in my mind and my excuse bank, so it was no problem.

About two weeks in, I was ready to murder a bottle of wine on a Friday night.

I sulked and complained to no one in particular, went to bed early and got through another weekend. really considered myself For six weeks, I maintained an alcoholic – although I complete sobriety.

early.

In late October, I committed to quit drinking for a month. My decision was mostly linked in to another newfound commitment to lose some unwanted weight from the election campaign and to get fit.

In preparation for sobriety and fitness, I did some writing and some deep contemplation on how I would handle tempting times. I didn’t feel a need to replace my alcoholic drinks with soda or sparkling water. In fact, I’ve never

My days were more productive. Without hint of hangover, the low-level anxiety and shame which ever-so-subtly permeate one’s thoughts the day after drink, sharpened my focus.

Fear wasn’t rearing its ugly head, except for the intermittent dark thought that perhaps I would never be “as much fun” as a nondrinker, or perhaps I’d never drink socially again, or that I couldn’t appreciate cheese without a fine red.

Perhaps it was the cheese talking, but six weeks in, December happened and I made the choice to have a drink if I felt like it. Mostly, it was a month of pretty controlled drinking.

I wasn’t sure how I would proceed in January. But as I read O’Regan’s brave tweet, and a number of similar declarations to go alcohol-free on social media from people I know more intimately, I wondered if I could make 2016 the year

of sobriety. But I’ve decided against it.

Some people like the Band-Aid approach – whether real or theoretical – where they say, “I’m going alcohol free.” And certainly it can be necessary.

I like to be gentler with myself and set realistic goals, and ideally ones that I don’t have to focus on too closely.

So I’m going to try, like thousands of others, to tackle Dry January, (minus those first hours which I can never get back).

Instead of focusing on the absence of booze and the deprivation one may feel as a result, I’m going to focus on increasing my physical energy, productivity and financial success.

I even have one of those pots to throw my wine money into – I have to keep feeding it until I’m ready to smash it to smithereens.

But it’s so pretty, I just may hold off.

First snowfall a mess

A

fter a slow start to winter, Ottawa got walloped on Dec. 29.

It was a sizeable snowfall but no bigger than we’ve dealt with before.

So why did it seem to cripple travel for so long?

It got so bad, Ottawa police asked people to stay off the roads.

It was not like it came out of the blue. Weather forecasts had been predicting the first snowstorm to hit Ottawa this year for a few days in advance and it was not exactly a situation in which snow removal crews were exhausted from overwork.

There was ample warning, which makes it so perplexing that snow clearing operations were so lethargic and sluggish.

The city had a lot of advance notice of the pending storm, so resources, in equipment and manpower, should have been ready for the cleanup.

Pictures of buried bus stops and sidewalks were being tweeted for nearly a week before a response to councillors came from the city’s public works department.

The much-vaunted Where’s My Plow? app failed to recognize many residential addresses, but public works suggested there was a problem with “messaging.�

The department’s report also tried to pick apart details. It doesn’t really matter whether the post-storm measurements of snow were completely accurate when results were so dismal.

Illegal snow dumping – private contractors putting snow on sidewalks or city roads – can’t be a relatively new concept during a large storm.

Could the city not have “reminded� contractors before the storm and/or fined them after the fact?

The memo to council from public works reads like a note from mommy after a son or daughter had their homework eaten by the family pet.

To add salt to the wound, the report offered no recommendations for future snow clearing response, instead offering a review of operations as a whole in the spring.

Maybe we could also review leaf raking each March and practise for heatstroke every January while we’re at it.

No hope for satire in a world of tweets

S

ocial media has claimed yet another victim – satire.

That much is clear from the reaction to a satirical article in a scientific journal, on a study purportedly conducted in Ottawa showing that mothers’ kisses are ineffective in alleviating minor childhood injuries. “The practice of maternal kissing of boo-boos is not supported by the evidence and we recommend a moratorium on the practice,� said the The Journal for Evaluation in Clinical Practice.

The article (written, as it turns out, by a professor in Seattle) was clearly a spoof, to anyone who read it. Could anyone seriously believe this? “To induce head boo-boos, a piece of chocolate was placed under a low table edge and the child would be allowed to crawl to the

candy. Invariably, the child would then stand to eat the chocolate and would strike his or her head on the table edge. All tables were constructed of soft wood (pine or fir) and edges were appropriately rounded enough to guarantee that skin would not be broken.�

Or could they believe in the existence of the Toddler Discomfort Index (TDI) “a 15-point, five-domain, non-verbal tool that allows for the quantification of distress in small children�?

Or could they take seriously

the requirement that mothers participating in the study “had to be over the age of 18, English- or French-speaking, and have two lips sufficient in nature to deliver a palpable kiss.�

The article was skillfully written, in a style, complete with footnotes, that mimics scientific language. Sad to say, the choice of Ottawa for this sort of foolishness probably gave it credibility – foolishness of this sort not being unknown here.

But the tip-offs were vividly clear to anyone who read the original article. That’s the key point. Clearly, most people didn’t read it. Instead, they read the outraged reactions, online, from those who, while not having read it themselves, had heard about it, online.

acted, some condemning the study, some condemning the fact that the study was a hoax.

Yikes. As the Ottawa Citizen reported, the topic made headlines around the world. And all because some scientists decided to have some fun in a journal and some people didn’t get the joke.

And the people who don’t get the joke are on Twitter. In 140 characters, context is lost. And context is everything in satire, or any kind of comedy. The other day U.S. President Obama appeared with Jerry Seinfeld in an online program called Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. The president joked that he could call in a nuclear submarine from the back seat of his car. If you saw it, you knew it was a joke. If you read about in 140 characters maybe you didn’t.

You hope that Putin didn’t see it on Twitter.

Commentators of all ideological stripes make nuanced arguments every day on issues of importance.

WE ARE ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS 2310 ST. LAURENT BLVD. SUITE 311

ERIN MCCRACKEN/METROLAND

Correctional workers at the Ottawa-Carleton Detention Centre celebrate near a roaring bonfire outside the Innes Road jail on Jan. 9 after their union and the province announced they had negotiated a new collective agreement. The settlement came about 20 hours before about 6,000 workers across the province would have been in a legal strike or lockout position.

Innes jail staff ‘cautiously optimistic’ after deal struck with province Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

“We have to make it worthwhile for those folks to come in, and we also have to make it worthwhile for some of our people to stick around ...”

TOM O’NEILL, CHAIRMAN, OPSEU CORRECTIONAL BARGAINING TEAM

“We have been dealing with a level of government that continues to give us zeroes and takeaways. That’s three contracts in a row,” he said.

Correctional workers have been intermittently staging information pickets at jails around the province, most noticeably in recent weeks as the province began setting up onsite spaces for pub-

lic service managers ahead as the strike deadline loomed.

Workers would have been in a legal strike or lockout position as of 12:01 a.m. on Jan. 10.

Having their workers labelled as an essential service in the new agreement is “a major step for us – a step in the right direction,” Tom O’Neill, chairman of OPSEU’s correctional bargaining team, said in an interview. “It’s something we’ve wanted for a long time.”

By trading in their right to strike, workers now have more autonomy.

“We’ve always been linked in with other groups. We’ll have (our) own collective agreement in the next round of bargaining,” said O’Neill, a jail guard currently at the Quinte Detention Centre in Napanee, Ont. The key inroad in the agreement is relying on binding arbitration to settle disputes over issues, such as wages.

When asked what wage changes he hopes to see, O’Neill said current wages will be compared with those doing similar work across Canada, such as federal corrections workers and, to a certain extent, police.

“Clearly, we feel we’ve fallen behind over the last number of years. We’ve fallen behind our comparators and we’d like to get back on track,” he said, adding this would help address recruitment and retention.

CARRIER OF THE MONTH!

A deal has been struck between the province and the union representing approximately 6,000 correctional workers, averting a strike less than a day before the workers were in a legal position to walk out.

There were hugs, handshakes and sighs of relief among correctional workers at the Ottawa-Carleton Detention Centre on Jan. 9 in reaction to an announcement that a new three-year collective agreement had been negotiated between the Ontario Public Service Employees Union and the province.

“There’s mostly a sentiment of happiness,” Scott Ford, correctional officer and vice-president of OPSEU Local 411, said outside the Innes Road jail as his colleagues stood around a burning barrel.

As part of the deal, reached Jan. 9 at 4:20 a.m., the workers are now considered an essential service. In exchange, they give up their right to strike in the future.

Union officials also negotiated to have workers’ wages set through binding arbi-

tration, that is, before a neutral third party within 60 days, by the end of March.

Approximately 6,000 correctional officers or jail guards as well as probation, parole and rehabilitation officers across the province have been without a collective agreement since Dec. 31, 2014.

“We’re cautiously optimistic because it’s binding arbitration, which is something we’ve been pushing for,” Ford said, adding that he wants to hear what the arbitrator decides before he celebrates fully.

As well, the province plans to hire more probation and parole officers, as well as enhance mentalhealth supports for inmates, Naqvi said.

The province will continue to make investments that will help with capacity and improve both staff and inmate safety, Naqvi said.

“We’ve got a class of 146 correctional officers that is starting (Jan. 10) for training and we will be hiring more,” he said. “It’s our largest course ever.”

O’Neill said this is a good sign, but the agreement is “one piece of a larger puzzle.”

“It’s one step in the right direction, but we have a long, long way to go.”

“We’re looking to recruit a lot of people in the next few years because we’re short about 800 correctional officers across the province,” he said.

“We have to make it worthwhile for those folks to come in, and we also have to make it worthwhile for some of our people to stick around because there’s going to be a whole bunch of people like me who are going to be out the door in four or five years.”

Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi, minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services, said with a strike averted and a deal reached, the focus now is to “normalize” jail operations.

“This agreement now really gives us the opportunity to now work together and accelerate the process of the transformation of our correctional services, something that has been part of my mandate,” he said, adding that Ontario’s jails cannot continue as they are.

“The status quo system is very much a warehousing system,” Naqvi said.

Providing better rehabilitative and reintegration services and supports are necessary and he aims to address capacity by reducing demand for jails.

His goals include ensuring people with mentalhealth issues get the right level of care while in jail to help keep them from being re-incarcerated in future.

Sixty per cent of inmates in jails are awaiting trial, Naqvi said.

staffing, overcrowding and mental-health issues, such as post-traumatic stress disorder, and the resulting burnout faced by workers have not been solved in this collective agreement.

The union asked for 100 new probation and parole officers. The province agreed to hire 25 this year, O’Neill said.

While Naqvi acknowledged the bargaining process over the past year has slowed down the training process for new workers, the province has hired 571 correctional officers since 2013 and plans to continue hiring and training thousands more.

All aboard: New book explores Gloucester’s railroad history Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

Many of the train tracks criss-crossing Ottawa have become a thing of the past, but a group of Gloucester historians are making sure they don’t become a distant memory.

Leslie Goodwin was treasurer with the Bytown Railway Society when he was ap-

proached by the Gloucester Historical Society to give a talk at their May 2015 annual general meeting about the history of trains in Gloucester.

He quickly compiled enough information to talk for “six to seven hours” he said, and it was suggested the valuable information be turned into a book.

“It started as a presentation, but I got a little carried away, I guess,” Goodwin said.

So he pared the talk down to a more reasonable time length, and with help from the historical society,

turned the rest into a book that is titled The Railways of Gloucester and Beyond.

“It’s to record the history of these railways because most of them have been ripped up,” said Glenn Clark, the historical society’s president. “Our main focus now is preserving memories.”

The book contains the history behind many of the railways that once flowed into Ottawa, as it had to also focus beyond Gloucester to develop a full picture.

Clark said many people are not aware that neighbourhoods such as Vanier and Rockcliffe Park were once part of Gloucester.

Many people relied on train transit to get from place to place in the past, even on a daily basis for errands.

“In those days, taking the train to shop in Ottawa wasn’t all that unusual,” Clark said. “So every one of

Founded in 1903, Club Atlético de Madrid has 112 years of history. It is one of the most highly decorated clubs in the world, and indisputably in Spain.

In its recent history, the Club has been showing a great dominance on the field being able to play 9 finals and to win 7 titles, which makes the last 5 years a memorable period in the History of Club Atlético de Madrid, full of achievements and remarkable records: 2 Europa Leagues, 2 UEFA Supercup, 1 Spanish Kings Cup, 1 League, 1 Spanish Supercup. All of these victories caught the attention of both local and global media and football fans and made Atletico one of the most renowned and attractive teams worldwide.

OSU is extremely excited about this cooperation. It will allow our OSU Academy coaches to invest time, training and learning at Atletico de Madrid’s youth academy to further the coaching and player development of OSU Players and Coaches.

As the relationship grows Atletico de Madrid coaches will visit the OSU Force to conduct coaches’ clinics for our staff, train and observe OSU players.

Nike, the major sponsor of OSU, Dallas Texans and Atletico de Madrid, was instrumental in the creation of this relationship.

On behalf of Atletico de Madrid, Emilio Gutierrez, the Academy General Director, added that “as a sports organization, we think that football, due to the media dimension that it reaches internationally, and due to the values that it represents, is becoming a strategic tool that serves to bring cultures together and tighten bonds between countries and people. Sport, when well channeled, is an excellent platform of global communication, which functions to send messages, perform actions and project business strategies on a worldwide level. For this reason, we have always believed in goodness of sharing strategies with organizations and institutions, which allow us to promote our relationships with other countries and establish synergies that are beneficial for all of the parties involved.”

The affiliation will begin with the current soccer year. We are looking forward to this great opportunity.

OSU would like to thank Nike, the Dallas Texans and Atletico de Madrid for their vision and support in this unique and exciting new cooperative initiative.

Ottawa police’s forensics unit investigates a homicide, which took place on the 100-block of Claremont Drive in Manor Park.

Police say homicide was gang-related Manor Park shooting victim linked to previous incidents in south Ottawa Alex Robinson

alex.robinson@metroland.com

Police have determined that Ottawa’s first murder of 2016 was gang-related.

Mohamed Najdi, 28, was gunned down on the 100-block of Claremont Drive in Manor Park late Sunday night, police said.

Police received multiple 911 calls from residents alerting them to the shooting at 10:39 p.m. on Jan. 10.

Staff Sgt. Bruce Pirt, of the police’s major crimes unit, said Najdi was a known gang member with prior charges.

In 2008, Najdi was charged

with attempted murder, according to court records. He was arrested alongside Yusuf Ibrahim – another known gang member who was killed in a targeted shooting that was the city’s first homicide of 2015.

CHARGES

The charges stemmed from a shooting on Walkley Road and were later dropped.

In 2009, Najdi faced a litany of weapons charges after an 18-year-old man was shot in the knee on Heron Road, but those charges were also later dropped.

He was convicted and sentenced to jail time for a number of offenses over the years including fraud in 2012.

Pirt said he could not go into detail as to why investigators believe the shooting is gang-related, but that “it sure has the gang overtones to it.”

“I can’t get the details into what makes it what it is, but we’re confident it’s gang-related,” he added.

Investigators from the police’s forensics unit combed the area on Monday morning, blocking off parts of London Terrace as they worked.

J.P. Trottier, a spokesman for Ottawa paramedics, said

that Najdi did not have a pulse when they arrived.

“Vital signs were absent and we were not able to reestablish a pulse,” he said.

Najdi was rushed to Ottawa Hospital General Campus where he was pronounced dead.

No arrests have been made in relation to the killing. The incident was Ottawa’s fourth shooting of the year.

Police ask anyone with information about the shooting to call 613-236-1222, extension 5493. Anonymous tips can be submitted by calling Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477 (TIPS).

#ottmusik Initiative Returns with Call for Submissions The popular music initiative #ottmusik, where local bands and singers are featured on the City of Ottawa’s 3-1-1 hold line, will be accepting new submissions beginning Jan. 11.

Rare Bullock’s oriole ‘lucky’ to be alive after rescue effort West coast bird will soon be ready for public viewing Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Lucky is living up to her new name, and no one is more pleased than her rescuer, Ray Holland.

The Pakenham resident and life-long birder was in tears thinking the little feathered rarity this far east would be dead within the hour, not long after he found her on Jan. 5 collapsed in the snow, barely moving after a sub-zero cold snap.

Holland had become her protector since first discovering her in late November with his friend and fellow birder, Richard Waters, of Bells Corners.

There she was, living among the gold finches and

ERIN MCCRACKEN/METROLAND

Mireille Goguen, executive director of the Wild Bird Care Centre in Nepean, checks on Lucky, a Bullock’s oriole that was near death when it was brought to the rehabilitation centre on Jan. 6. The bird, which is now on the mend, is a rarity this far east, and local birders believe she ended up in Pakenham after being blown off course in a series of November storms. house sparrows under the boughs of an apple tree at the end of Holland’s street.

Having never before seen a Bullock’s oriole, which typically makes its home

along the west coast, in California and on down to the U.S.-Mexico border, the men double-checked their books to confirm her identity.

“It’s so much like a Balti-

more oriole,” Holland said, adding they had to make sure of their findings before alerting other birders, who are known to travel thousands of kilometres to see a

rare bird.

Once confirmed, word spread like wildfire that Ottawa was home to a recordfirst Bullock’s oriole.

“I spoke to more than 300 people, I kid you not,” Holland said of the birders who flocked to Pakenham. “I’ve been keeping a guard over her too because, photographers who come up, they just want to get that wonderful shot, and they’ve been kind of getting too close to her.”

That can be stressful for birds, especially for an oriole so far from home.

Several times, Holland had to ask photographers to move back to give Lucky some space.

“It’s been quite a battle.

It’s worn me out actually.”

Lynda Bennett, a friend of Holland’s and an avid birder who writes a weekly column for Metroland Media’s Carleton Place Almonte Canadian Gazette, said the oriole’s presence in the region has drawn people from as far away as Newfoundland and New York state.

She said the November storms blew more than one bird off course. A western mountain blue bird ended up south of Richmond, while Casselman became home to a pink-footed goose, which typically lives in Asia and Greenland.

But when the oriole turned up, Holland called her right away.

“I thought, ‘Wow, I’ve got to get up to Pakenham,’” she said with a chuckle.

Despite the worry over the crush of birders, Holland said some good has come of it all.

“In the meantime they’ve brought a lot of business to town, I understand,” he said, adding local shops and the gas station have been overflowing with customers.

Even Holland’s backyard was brimming with birders, all wanting to see the rare red-bellied woodpeckers who were camped out at his backyard feeder after first taking photos of the oriole.

A Bullock’s oriole, named Lucky, sits on a branch inside her cage at the Wild Bird Care Centre in Nepean on Jan. 9. Normally a west coast bird, local birders suspect she ended up in Pakenham in November after she was blown off course. Despite almost dying in a recent cold snap and suffering from frostbite, she is recovering and will likely soon be ready for visitors.

But when the cold temperatures set in, Holland made a point of checking on Lucky the morning of Jan. 5 at a new and more sheltered hideout beside a house underneath a gas metre.

“When I got down to the house where I normally saw her, she was underneath the (apple) tree,” he recalled. “I thought she was dead and then she moved a wing, tried to stand and fell over on one side.”

Holland gently picked her up and took her home, nestling her in cloth he placed in a shoebox.

He called up his Carp-based friend Bruce Di Labio, and arranged to bring her to the birding expert’s home so he could take the sick bird to Wild Bird Care, a charitable rescue facility in Nepean where sick, injured or orphaned wild birds are rehabilitated.

Di Labio examined the feathered creature and told Holland she likely wouldn’t last another hour.

“He didn’t know how it was breathing – that’s how bad it was,” Holland recalled.

“It was frost bitten and he showed me the breast bone and ribs were protruding from the skin.”

The bird weighed just 27 grams, down from an ideal weight of 35 grams.

“She was absolutely starved,” said Holland, who worried all the way back home after dropping her off.

“I kind of came all this way back to Pakenham in tears, thinking it was going to be dead,” he said.

Di Labio cared for the wee winged creature through the day and night, hand-feeding it grapes and other morsels, before taking it to the bird centre on Jan. 6.

Despite its near frozen state and losing the tip of a frostbitten toe, the oriole is doing well at the centre. She’s also on a precautionary dose of antibiotics.

“She’s eating well,” Mireille Goguen, executive director of the facility, said Jan. 9.

She said the oriole will likely soon be well enough to move to a larger enclosed space with other birds. She’ll be available at that time for public viewing.

“She’s obviously very lucky,” Goguen said.

Her recovery spells sweet relief for Holland.

“The fact we found her in the first place and the very people who find her actually rescue her is unbelievable,” he said. “She’s got nine lives.”

As for the bird’s future, that’s still up in the air. She will likely be released in the spring.

Bennett said ideally it would be best to return the oriole to the west coast where it has a better chance of surviving.

“Do you know anybody that would like to take a bird to California?” she said. “Somebody might just generously say, ‘I wouldn’t mind taking this bird with me. How about one of the airlines helping me fly it out there?’”

The Wild Bird Care Centre, which relies on private donations, is open seven days a week for viewings from 12 to 3 p.m. It admits birds year round between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m.

Mysterious Aunty made herself welcome cluding all her sewing needs, which she said was why she was at our house to begin with. Of course, my sister Audrey and I had to give up our bed for Aunty, putting us downstairs in the kitchen to sleep foot-to-foot on the narrow creton couch.

away enough food to feed half of Renfrew County.

If there was one little sausage left on the platter, she plucked it off, saying “Waste not, want not,” as if even a morsel as small as a sausage would ever get thrown away in our house!

It would either go into the big granite pot that sat continuously on the back of the stove for soup, or someone would get it at the next meal. Wasting food was a mortal sin in our house!

But cleaning off the platter, or scooping up the last boiled carrot gave Aunty another whack at finishing off whatever was left from the meal, and what good it did her, never showed, because she was as thin as a rail.

She also insisted on adding her bit to the Grace, which Father always said before we put a bite of food to our mouths. Although her Grace wasn’t long, it certainly had a message, which you couldn’t miss.

As well as thanking God for what we were about to eat, she thanked Him for providing her with a place to stay over the long winter, repeating Mother and Father’s name more than once so that He would know exactly who she was talking about.

Of course, this made them very reluctant to complain about a visit from someone who nobody knew from Adam.

She was as big as a minute, and yet she packed

Everything she owned was carried about in a small tapestry bag. It came with her in the late fall that year, and left with her when she went to another relative over on the Barr Line when spring was breaking, or where ever else she could find a home.

I never knew her by any name other than Aunty. Everyone in our house called her Aunty, including Father, who, when she first arrived,

Everything went back to normal after Aunty left Continued from page 20

She left redding up the kitchen to my sister Audrey and me. After she finished eating, she headed right for Father’s rocking chair, where her tapestry bag sat, fishing out whatever she needed for the sewing job at hand.

She never talked much, but sitting in Father’s rocker, (which seemed to annoy him more as her visit droned on) in a low hum, always in only about two notes, she purred away, peering out from under her white starched hat which only left her head when she went to bed at night.

She wasn’t above scolding one of us kids either.

“Please” and “Thank you” were high on her list of priorities, so she matched Mother in that respect, who was known to snatch a piece of bread right out of our hands at the table if we failed to thank the person who was passing the plate.

The day finally came when Aunty was ready to move on. If she had any money, she never spent it at our house. But she had

The day finally came when Aunty was ready to move on. If she had any money, she never spent it at our house. But she had enough obviously to buy a train ticket to Pembroke, where she said she was going to visit a cousin who was a nun in the convent there.

enough obviously to buy a train ticket to Pembroke, where she said she was going to visit a cousin who was a nun in the convent there.

Father was mighty suspicious about her having a cousin who was a Catholic, as his whole family was Lutheran, which made him more leery than ever about her relationship to the Hanemans. Spring was in the air the day Aunty was loaded into the buggy and driven to the station in Northcote, where the train would have to be flagged down to stop to pick up Aunty. It was a Saturday.

Cleaning day, beds changed, laundry gotten ready for the Monday wash.

Before my sister Audrey and I reached for the dust

mops, we changed the bed Aunty had been sleeping in, put on clean flannelette sheets, flung ourselves on top of the feather tickings and giggled like two hyenas.

No more foot-to-foot on the couch in the kitchen.

Father, who never took a break during the daytime, when he came back from the station, plopped down in his rocking chair, lit his pipe, and promptly fell asleep. The house was back to normal.

NCC warns not to try skating on canal

Can I help?

Ottawa South News - Thursday, January 14, 2016

R0013630296-0114

Go to NCC website or call special phone line for updates on when canal is open for skating Staff

The public is being warned to stay off the Rideau Canal surface because the ice on the canal is still “dangerously thin.”

According to the National Capital Commission, although it may appear that a layer of ice has formed on some parts of the canal’s surface the ice is still too thin to go skating.

The NCC points out that although there may be work crews on the Skate-

way, that does not mean the ice surface is stable.

“The Rideau Canal Skateway team is made up of professionals who know how to manage the risks of their work,” a release from the NCC states.

While the Rideau Canal Skateway typically opens in the first few weeks of January, it is only safe for use when ice thickness is at least 30 centimetres (12 inches) to accommodate the weight of the public on the Skateway.

The NCC says once the ice thickens and there is sustained cold weather, it will open the Skateway for public use, but for now signs have been posted at Skateway access points to advise the public of the danger.

For updates on when the public can skate on the canal, visit the NCC’s website at ncc-ccn.gc.ca/skateway.

Throughout the season, recorded information about skating conditions can be obtained by calling 613-239-5234.

REMOVAL OF BARRIER AT RIVERSEDGE CRESCENT AND TEWSLEY DRIVE With construction nearly completed in the Landing development, the city intends to remove the concrete barrier situated near the intersection of Riversedge Crescent and Tewsley Drive. The removal of the barrier will allow access to neighbours in the Landing community, as well as the signalized intersection at River Road and Tewsley Drive - making the turn into the neighbourhood much safer and improving snow plowing operations in the area. In collaboration with the local developer and city staff, I have asked that “no construction traffic” signage be placed at this location. Please do not hesitate to contact my office should you have any questions or comments.

CITY’S APPROVED SLEDDING HILLS ARE NOW OPEN The City of Ottawa has officially opened its approved sledding hills. Outdoors enthusiasts are invited to sled while weather and hill conditions permit. Please remember to keep personal safety in mind while sledding, multi-impacts helmets are strongly recommended. Throughout the sledding season you can check Ottawa.ca for updates and conditions.

Bank of Canada governor Stephen Poloz talks with Mayor Jim Watson during a Jan. 6 breakfast at city hall.

Bank of Canada governor optimistic about future despite sagging loonie Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

A lower Canadian dollar can be partially blamed on slumping oil prices, said Bank of Canada governor Stephen Poloz during the mayor’s breakfast on Jan. 6.

The loonie was worth about 71 U.S. cents at the time of the breakfast.

Poloz said the interest and exchange rates are part of the ripple effect caused by low commodity prices.

They help to cushion and spread out the impact.

The Bank of Canada has lowered the interest rate twice in the last 12 months to try and deal with the economic slump due to the flagging energy sector.

It’s all part of the “ripple effect” that happens when economic growth slows.

The drop in resource prices has meant large trade declines for resource-producing countries such as Canada, and is particularly important following a period of big investment in the

“We will use our tools to manage risks along the way.”

BANK OF CANADA GOVENOR STEPHEN POLOZ

industry, Poloz said.

Poloz said the Bank of Canada has the benefit of experience follow the aftermath of the 2008 recession.

US DOLLAR

He said a higher U.S. dollar doesn’t mean a slower global economy and defended the bank’s decision to run an independent monetary policy.

The U.S. Federal Reserve increased its interest rate by 0.25 per cent in December.

The move was largely seen as a move towards normalization after years of stimulus policy following the recession.

Poloz said the Canadian bank’s inflation target is two per cent.

“We will use our tools to manage risks along the

way,” he said.

The economy is complex and tends to be cyclical, Poloz said – and while customers may end up paying more for their produce at the grocery store, they’re paying less at the pump.

Dale Harley, spokesperson for the National Capital Heavy Construction Association, asked Poloz if spending on municipal infrastructure could help bolster the economy.

Poloz said stimulus spending could help to create jobs, but was just a piece of the puzzle.

“The forces that have been set in motion must work themselves out,” he said.

The bank will provide an updated economic forecast which is expected in two weeks.

CHEO Dream of a Lifetime winner never imagined winning Winner thought buddies were pulling a prank when CHEO Foundation called to tell him he had won lottery Megan DeLaire mdelaire@metroland.com

For Val Murray, buying a ticket for the CHEO Dream of a Lifetime Lottery each year has always been a matter of course, and a way to do his part for the children’s hospital foundation.

Murray – a car technician from Ottawa who moved to

Kingston three months ago –never really considered how his life might change if he won the grand prize. “I had the habit of buying the tickets and putting them away,� he said. “It’s kind of habit, you know, I buy the tickets for the kids. It’s my way of doing my part, and if I win, that’s great, and if I don’t, at least I’m doing

something.�

So when he received the fateful phone call from CHEO while at work on Jan. 6, he didn’t quite believe it. “I had totally forgotten about (the tickets) at that point. Honestly, I thought it was a prank,� he said. “I’ve got a lot of buddies that joke around. We prank each other all the time.�

But Murray, 37, and his girlfriend Sara Porter, really did win the lottery’s grand prize package, worth more than $1.7 million.

The package includes a fully-furnished Minto Dream Home in the developer’s Mahogany subdivision in Manotick, as well as $100,000 in cash, a 2016 Chevy Camaro, house cleaning for a year and $5,000 in groceries from Farm Boy. Despite hearing it directly from the foundation, it wasn’t until media outlets

began contacting him that the truth of his good fortune hit home. “Honestly, I was overwhelmed at that point. It became way more than I was expecting and way more than I could handle,� he said. “So I was kind of in a bit of shock, not really sure what to do because I had never really thought about this outcome.�

While he has no intention of leaving his new job at Kingston Toyota after recently relocating to Kings-

ton, he said his family will spend a lot of time in their new home. His favourite aspect of the house is a collection of art made by patients at CHEO. “We’re keeping (the art) for life. The house is absolutely gorgeous and the furnishings are amazing, but the artwork kind of helps to remind you we why buy the tickets in the first place: mostly just to do my part,� he said.

“Kids are our future, so it’s about doing everything we can to help them. And CHEO does an amazing job.”

Murray said that he would like one day to meet some of the children who created the artwork. One piece in particular moved him.

“One that really stood out to me was a bunch of words on paper, and it was what CHEO means to that person, and the it was things like ‘family,’ ‘safe,’ ‘happiness,’ ‘happy moments,’ things like that,” he said. “This is someone that is sick, and in the hospital, and these are the words that they’re thinking of.”

Murray said it has taken time to absorb the good news since a CHEO representative called him on Jan. 6 about the grand prize, but that that hasn’t kept him and Porter from discussing taking a vacation.

City targets illegal snow dumping Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

The city ticketed more 1,800 vehicles for ignoring the overnight winter parking ban during the city’s largest snowstorm in three years, said transportation committee chair Keith Egli.

The city also charged 10 private snow-clearing companies with illegal snow dumping – putting snow on sidewalks or roadways. The offence carries a minimum fine of $105, but Egli said the city is preparing to ask the province to increase it to $500 following a review of the city’s snow clearing operations, set to be made available to council in the second quarter of this year.

“It creates more work for the city, because we have to go back and clear again, and there’s a cost associated with that,” Egli said, adding residents get frustrated because they assume the city hasn’t cleared the area yet.

The capital was pelted with nearly 25 centimetres of snow during the Dec. 29 storm.

Residents took to Twitter and other social media in the days following the storm, complaining about roads that hadn’t been cleared, sidewalks

that were impassable and bus stops that were completely blocked.

The nature of the storm – and its aftermath – is why Egli suggested a debriefing memo be sent to members of council and the media on Jan. 5.

Egli said there were factors that impacted the speed with which roads could be cleared.

It’s the most snow to land on Ottawa in one day since 2012, Egli said.

The storm saw the city’s snow removal crews working overtime to keep the roadways clear – a challenge due to the warmer weather earlier in the month.

“We know it snows every year, but just a few days before people were jogging in shorts along the canal,” Egli said, adding snow removal equipment can’t be truly tested until it’s dealing with the white stuff.

Equipment broke down and couldn’t be swapped out because every available plow and blower was on the streets, he said.

The city has 613 staff whose job it is to clear snow, and every one was out on the day of the storm, as were the 588 pieces of equipment.

At some point in the day, the plows had to be replaced with blowers because there simply wasn’t any

more room to push the snow. The blowers move at a quarter of the speed of a plow, Egli said.

Residents also expressed frustration with the Where’s My Plow?

App – which was used for the first time during the storm and was supposed to provide residents with an estimate of when their road would be cleared.

Egli said the tool worked well, but the department had to clear up the messaging.

“What was happening is people were being told there was no estimate available when it really was because there were cars in the roadway or some other obstruction the plows couldn’t get around,” he said, adding the reason an estimate couldn’t be given should be more palatable to residents in the future.

“The department will work to make the tool more user friendly,” he said.

It’s not all bad news though, Egli said, saying the lack of snow in November and most of December helped to keep the snow clearing budget in check for 2015, despite the big dump at the end of the year.

The budgets for snow removal for 2015 and 2016 are $56.9 and $63 million respectively.

Teen challenges community to raise money for cancer fight Brier Dodge

brier.dodge@metroland.com

BRIER DODGE/METROLAND

Brianna Sanko, a Grade 10 student at Gisèle-Lalonde high school in Orléans, is raising money and awareness for the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation as a part of a school project.

Brianna’s Challenge, as the project is officially called, stemmed from the need to complete a Grade 10 personal project as a part of the International Baccalaureat program she’s enrolled in at

her high school.

Classmates’ personal projects range from designing a website to writing a book, but Brianna, who has been involved with charity work her whole life, said she knew

Ottawa South News - Thursday, January 14, 2016

ing and awareness project in the fall, and kicked it off near the end of November with a presentation to the students at her school about the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation and what the funds she raises will go towards.

“I picked cancer because it affects a lot of people,” she said.

“I’m not really going to miss my hair.”

BRIANNA SANKO

Brianna said she asked the students to raise their hand if they had been affected by cancer in any way, or knew someone who had. She said it looked as if almost every student in the school raised their hand.

Her great-grandfather, who she has dedicated the project to, died from cancer, and while Brianna is lucky to not have known anyone else with cancer, members of her

family, including her younger brother, have.

She’s already started raising money, and is at $3,500 of her $10,000 goal.

Every Friday, she sets up a table at school where she sells bracelets and hot-cold bags made by a friend of her mother’s and distributes information about resources for cancer patients and anyone who is affected by cancer.

She’s also been selling raffle tickets as donated prizes come in.

She’s also given presentations at businesses, which has inspired local businesses including Greenline and Modis to support her through in-house raffles and group donations.

The final wrap up of the project will be in May, when the Hairtech Coiffure stylists come to the high school to cut the hair, and Brianna presents her final total raised as a special guest at the cancer foundation’s Cancer Champions Breakfast on May 19.

See TEEN, page 33 0114.R0013633215

Like many other teenage girls, Brianna Sanko already has her next hairstyle in mind.

But the Grade 10 GisèleLalonde student doesn’t care what it looks like: her goal is to help people by cutting off her hair.

“I’m not really going to miss my hair,” said the Avalon teen, whose long locks reach down almost to her waist when straight.

Brianna is cutting her hair along with five of her friends that she has lined up to participate so far – three other girls who will also don shorter hairstyles and two boys who will shave their heads entirely, all in an effort to help raise funds for the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation.

Two local hairdressers from Hairtech Coiffure have also promised to shave their heads if she reaches her fundraising goal of $10,000 for the foundation.

she wanted her project to have something to do with helping people.

Cutting her hair to donate it is familiar for her. She first got the idea when she was only four years old, said her mom, Natalie Sanko.

“We lived in Halifax and there was a commercial for the children’s hospital,” said Natalie, who added the commercial had a little girl about her daughter’s age, who had lost all her hair from chemotherapy. “She immediately said, ‘I want to give her my hair.’”

Natalie said no – she was only four years old – but once she turned five, if she still wanted to do it, she could.

So on Brianna’s fifth birthday, she reminded her mom, and she made her first donation. She made her second hair donation at 10, in front of her Orléans elementary school, and will make her third this year.

“I thought why not do it again?” Brianna said. “But with a bigger bang this time.”

She took on the fundrais-

The teen, who currently works at McDonald’s and dreams of being a pediatrician one day, hopes her project will inspire more people – young and old – to get involved.

“I think (my classmates) are going to be pretty excited and surprised,” she said, of

the hair cut at school. “But I hope they’re going to say, ‘that’s so cool, I want to do something like that.’”

Anyone who wants to help can visit ottawacancer.kintera.org/briannaschallenge or purchase a $25 ticket to her next upcoming fundraiser at Connors Pub in Orléans. The fundraising dinner will be held on Feb. 28 at 6 p.m.

16-year-old charged with stunt driving after clocking 68 km/h over speed limit Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

A teen had less than a week to enjoy his driver’s licence after he was allegedly nabbed speeding 68 kilometres over the limit north of Riverside South on Jan. 10.

The 16-year-old male, who had one passenger with him at the time, was clocked going 148 km/h in an 80 zone, the east district traffic unit announced through Twitter not long after the vehicle was stopped on Jan. 10 around 12:43 p.m.

The vehicle had been heading southbound on Limebank Road near Leitrim Road.

“The reason for speeding … just got called up to play (a) Junior A game,” the unit tweet-

“The reason for speeding … just got called up to play (a) Junior A game.”

The teen, who police said had obtained his G2 licence on Jan. 5, was charged with stunt driving and speeding, confirmed Const.

The charges carry a maximum fine of $10,000.

3071 Riverside Drive - Update On January 8, 2016, I provided residents and community groups in the Riverside Park North neighbourhood an update on the City’s plans to rezone and sell the 10-acre piece of land, formerly the site of Bayview PS. If you did not receive a copy of my update and would like to be added to our mailing list, please contact me. In summary, City staff are about to commence a Request for Expressions of Interest that will invite the development community to submit their ideas/vision for the site, which will see low and medium density housing, as well as a 2 acre park.

Airport Parkway Widening to be Postponed The entire $85 million pricetag to widen the Airport Parkway and Lester Road is to be funded by development charges, not via property taxes. As the pace of development has slowed in Ottawa, the forecasted revenues from development have also decreased and this is why the widening project is being postponed at least five years. The Environmental Assessment continues and City staff still plan to host their final meeting in either late February or early March. This project also includes the contentious proposal to build a south-bound offramp at Walkley Road. As I have done in 2015, I will continue to meet with City staff and local community groups to discuss various components about this project that affect River Ward residents, mainly noise, cut-through traffic, safety issues on Walkley Road and the viability of extending the O-Train along the southern corridor first, before the Parkway is widened.

The deadline for community event submissions is Friday at noon. Email your events to ottawasouth@metroland.com.

Teeth Whitening SPECIAL

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Work with your doctor to develop a plan for meeting some healthy resolutions, Libra. It is important to make your health a priority this week.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, it may prove impossible to escape all of your responsibilities right now, but you can let a few slide for the time being. Tackle the most daunting projects first.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 You cannot avoid a complex issue forever, Sagittarius. Come clean with the person you may have been hiding from, and work with this person to reach a resolution.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, it may be frightening to reveal your true feelings about something, especially when the truth might change your life in a dramatic way. Muster your courage.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Others appreciate all that you do for them, Aquarius. But sometimes they have to do for themselves to learn valuable lessons. This week is a time to step aside.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, while you are busy helping other people, you may discover that it’s time to take a step back and tend to your own needs.

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, finding time to get everything done can be challenging. Fortunately, you have quite a few friends willing to spare some time and lend you a helping hand.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Difficult decisions can take time to work through, Taurus. Although you want to address all situations, this week isn’t a good one for making big decisions.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, something keeps nagging at you and you can’t get it out of your head. Trust your intuition and be on guard. With some careful thought, a solution will present itself.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 A hectic schedule may have you feeling some pressure, Cancer. Keep in mind that all of your deadlines are self-imposed, so just factor a little more time into your week.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, sometimes you have to make a few mistakes before you get things right. Don’t let this worry you, as trial and error is all a part of the learning process.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, you may suspect what’s around the corner, but you are not ready to take the plunge just yet. Give it a little more time until you feel ready and secure.
