‘Ready, willing and able’ to help refugees: MPP Erin McCracken
erin.mccracken@metroland.com
Sahar Oda’s shoulders heave as she sobs. Her tears are for her relatives who remain in limbo and at risk of starvation after fleeing Syria. “They’re not being
treated properly. They’re not given their basic human rights,” said Fadi El Masry, Ottawa South MPP John Fraser’s constituency assistant, translating for Oda, whose first language is Arabic. See CITY, page 16

Dev Balkissoon is representing the Conservative Party in the Ottawa South riding and says his background in finance and economics allows him to better understand the needs of constituents. “I’ve had experience helping families and businesses balance budgets and set financial priorities,” said the Alta Vista resident, who has a sevenyear-old daughter and 10-year-old son with wife Meredith Lilly, foreign affairs policy adviser to Prime Minister Stephen Harper. “I have kids and I have aging parents, so that combination provides me with a good background,” said Balkissoon, 47. “I have a pretty good understanding of most people in the riding – families and seniors – who want lower taxes, so they can manage their own finances better.” The key to achieving safe communities, ensuring there are opportunities for kids, and a good quality of life and standard of living for seniors “... comes back to balancing budgets,” he said. “Balancing budgets is the same if you’re doing it for a family or a business or even the country. Mr. Harper and a Conservative government get that, understand that, and Justin Trudeau and the Liberals don’t.” Balkissoon owns a consulting firm, a consulting firm that advises small and large business on financial and management matters, and previously worked as a financial planner.
Q: Why are you running? “I have a family, I have a couple of young kids. I watch them grow and develop. They’re great kids. I have aging parents,” he said. “It gives me sort of a perspective on families and seniors and I hope to use that perspective to represent (the) interests of Ottawa South, and I combine that with my background, my education and my work history. “I think it provides an excellent opportunity to address the issues of maintaining those budgets and our low-tax plan, (and) safe streets and communities.” Q: Detail your past political and civic experience or activism at any level of government or political party. “No, I don’t think that’s significant. That’s not really relevant.” Q: What is the biggest federal issue facing Ottawa South and how has it been handled to date? How would you approach it? “I had the opportunity to meet with the mayor and in that meeting we talked about infrastructure and economic development. Those are two really key issues for the people of Ottawa South, as are maintaining a low tax plan and safe streets and communities. “We had a great discussion and I look forward to working with all levels of government, municipal, provincial and representing federally the interests of Ottawa South.” See LOW, page 13

R0012578670
George Brown has spent years embracing change and hopes Ottawa South voters will too by casting their votes for him on Oct. 19. The 55-year-old married father of two grown children says his roots are firmly established in the Riverside Park community within the riding, where he has lived for 48 years. “Roots are important. Place is important and neighbourhood is important,” said Brown, who is married to wife Sandy, a budget support officer at Algonquin College. “I’m passionate about it. I am rooted in the neighbourhood.” Brown first served in office as councillor of the former Riverside Ward for nine years, from 1985 to 1994. He served as president of the Ottawa Community Loan Fund after law school, helping small businesses secure micro loans. A full-time lawyer since 2012, Brown specializes in immigration, as well as co-operatives, especially renewable energy co-operatives. He also does pro-bono work representing Acorn members in holding landlords accountable.

Meet the Ottawa South Liberal candidate: David McGuinty and acting Liberal whip. McGuinty is a member of the all-party caucus on climate change, the parliamentary committee on palliative and compassionate care, among several other roles. He is currently the Liberal critic on transport, infrastructure and communities.
Staff
Liberal Party candidate David McGuinty has been the member of parliament for Ottawa South since first being elected in 2004. The longtime Alta Vista resident said he is seeking reelection to see files through completion, as well as to continue advocating for healthcare improvements, an enhanced Canada Pension Plan, a ban on costly partisan advertising and pension reform. Prior to politics, the lawyer, now 55, worked internationally in several roles, including building legal systems and training judges and lawyers, as well as on behalf of Unicef in West Africa. He also served as president of the National Roundtable on the Environment and Economy for a decade. McGuinty is the son of former Ontario MPP Dalton McGuinty Sr., and is the brother of former Ontario premier Dalton McGuinty. As one of 12 children, McGuinty said his passion for representing constituents comes naturally. “The greatest gift that my parents gave us was work ethic,â€? he said. McGuinty has been married to Brigitte BĂŠlanger for 27 years. They have four adult children. Q: Why are you running?
Erin McCracken/Metroland
Alta Vista resident David McGuinty is the Liberal candidate for Ottawa South. “Mostly, I want to keep working on measures that will increase trust and enhance the reputation of our democratic institutions,� he said, pointing to his private member’s bill that, if enacted, would ban partisan advertising. “I want to see us move forward on a whole series of measures that are in our open government plan that I had a hand in drafting with our team. Things around accessing information about yourself as a citizen, going back to (and reinvesting in) core science in the government, treating public servants with respect, relying on evidencebased decision making,� which
he said the Harper government has eroded. McGuinty also wants to advocate for a 38 fixed-day election. “The $200 million of additional costs that Mr. Harper’s now forced on the Canadian people to spend – that’s above and beyond a 38-day campaign,� he said.
As MP, he has served many roles, including sitting on the House of Commons standing committee on environment and sustainable development, Liberal Critic, official Opposition critic, Opposition house leader
Q: What is the biggest federal issue facing Ottawa South and how has it been handled to date? How would you approach it? “The issues facing Ottawa South right now are pensions/ income security and healthcare,� he said. “We have an aging population. Ten per cent of this riding is disabled in some form or another. We believe as a party, people should be able to live independently and with dignity in their own homes as long as possible.� As such, the Liberals have been driving an enhanced Canada Pension Plan for the last 10 years,� he said, reason why the party has been pushing the Con-
servative government to expand the CPP. “(A Liberal) government would expand the CPP and work with all of the provinces to make sure that we have the right kind of investments, the right amounts going in every year, so people can retire with dignity,� he said. Health-care bottlenecks also need to be rectified, he said, adding that residents are impacted by MRI and emergency room wait times, and registered nurses are being run off their feet due to cuts. “The government should be sitting down with the provinces and finding out what the needs are,� said McGuinty. Q: What are the biggest federal issues affecting the Ottawa region? How will you address them? “The biggest federal issues in Ottawa are 48,000 people have been fired,� he said, referring to the public sector. See PENSIONS page 7
The right hearing aid can make a difference
Q: Detail your past political and civic experience or activism at any level of government or political party. McGuinty was first elected in the 2004 federal election and went on to be re-elected in 2006, 2008 and 2011.

Ottawa South Green Party candidate John Redins says a vote for him is a vote for people who feel they don’t have a voice. Having lost his job in the automotive industry as a result of job losses in the forestry sector in his hometown of Schreiber, Ont. on the north shore of Lake Superior, Redins said he understands the struggle people are experiencing amid a recession. Redins, 50, said he is also a strong advocate for people with disabilities, prompting him to seek the federal Ottawa South seat. Redins’ career was cut short in 2011 due to severe arthritis in his hips which led to two recent hip replacements, but his political aspirations, though unsuccessful, saw him represent the Party for People with Special Needs in Ottawa South during the 2011 provincial election. Redins lost to Dalton McGuinty. Redins tried again in the 2013 byelection after McGuinty stepped down as premier and MPP and in the 2014 provincial election, but lost both times to John Fraser.

NOTICE OF STUDY COMPLETION LEMIEUX ISLAND SHORELINE RESTORATION MUNICIPAL CLASS ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT The City of Ottawa is planning for the restoration of the northwest shoreline on Lemieux Island. Lemieux Island is located in the Ottawa River between Ottawa and Gatineau. It can be accessed through the Rivers Street Bridge from Ottawa. Lemieux Island’s main use is to accommodate one of the City of Ottawa’s Water Purification Plants. The northwest shoreline of the Lemieux Island, adjacent to the lower level parking area, has eroded significantly. The northwest corner of the Island is composed of mostly weak and fragmented limestone, which is causing progressive recession of the shoreline and weakening of several parking lot fence posts which are currently either leaning or have fallen over completely. It is projected that if erosion is allowed to continue, the adjacent green space and parking lot will be impacted. Thus, the City is planning for the restoration of the shoreline to halt and prevent further erosion. This study determined the appropriate strategy for the restoration of the northwest shoreline of Lemieux Island. The study followed an approved planning process under the ‘Municipal Class Environmental Assessment’ document (2007 and 2011, as amended) as a Schedule ‘B’ Project. At this time, the City of Ottawa has decided to carry forward two alternatives for the shoreline protection, Stacked/Terrace Stone Revetment and Riprap Revetment and for the boat launch ramp, Pre-Fabricated Concrete Slab and Concrete Revetment Mats, to allow for flexibility in the detail design. The Project File and Environmental Summary Report are being placed on public record for viewing at the following location: City of Ottawa 100 Constellation Crescent Monday - Friday: 8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Tel: 613-580-2400

Stimulating the economy is a primary concern for voters, because the country is in recession and “we need to make sure we don’t fall into the trap of simple austerity thinking, which is, it’s all about cutting and cutting,” said McGuinty. “Reckless spending is as dangerous as reckless cutting, and
what we have seen under Mr. Harper is reckless cutting.” The impact on front-line government services and Canadians has been devastating, he said adding that investing in core infrastructure is key to stimulating the economy. “Those investments will go a huge distance in creating jobs, creating wealth, showing that Canada’s confident, helping us

NOTICE OF COMMENCEMENT OF TRANSIT PROJECT ASSESSMENT PROCESS O TRAIN TRILLIUM LINE EXTENSION The Project The City of Ottawa is developing a plan to extend and expand the City’s existing diesel-powered O-Train Trillium Line service from Greenboro Station to Riverside South (Bowesville Road) and to the Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport. The plan will include options to service the growing communities of Riverside South and Leitrim, the Airport and adjacent lands, new stations at Gladstone Avenue and Walkley Road and a relocated station at Confederation Heights on the existing Trillium Line. The plan also allows for future conversion to electric light rail transit (LRT) technology. The Process The environmental impact of this transit project is being assessed according to the Transit Project Assessment Process (TPAP) as prescribed in Ontario Regulation 231/08. As part of the TPAP, an Environmental Project Report (EPR) is being prepared to document the planned project and all anticipated environmental impacts. Consultation Members of the public, agencies and other interested persons are encouraged to participate actively in the Transit Project Assessment Process by contacting staff directly with information, comments or questions. Information about the progress of the project to date is available on the City’s website at ottawa.ca/trilliumline. At the end of the consultation period, in January 2016, the draft EPR will be made available for public review. If you would like to be added to our project mailing list, have project-related questions, or have any accessibility requirements in order to participate in this project, please contact:
Please provide written comments to the City of Ottawa within 30 calendar days from the date of this notice. If concerns regarding this project cannot be resolved in discussion with the municipality, a person may request that the Minister of the Environment and Climate Change make an order for the project to comply with Part II of the Environmental Assessment Act (referred to as Part II Order), which addresses individual environmental assessments. Requests must be made to the Minister at the address below by October 9, 2015. A copy of the request must be copied to the City of Ottawa Project Manager, Gordon Nix. Subject to comments received as a result if this Notice and the receipt of necessary approval and funding, the City of Ottawa intends to proceed with detail design and construction of this project in 2015/2016.

Make sure your vote counts
T
he Fair Elections Act has made it impossible to vote with just an Elections Canada voter card. The act also introduced uncertainty about what each voter needs to be able to cast a vote. It is exactly that uncertainty that may keep thousands of Canadians home on the couch on voting day. After all, who wants to stand in a line only to be admonished that their ID isn’t up to snuff? It’s exactly that uncertainty a cynic would say the Conservatives sought to introduce with their legislation. The voters most likely to be dissuaded from trying to vote include: • people who have just changed their address (hello students in dorms and off-campus housing). • the homeless – including people who may simply be couch-surfing at friends’ homes due to a temporary hardship. • people on First Nations reserves who may not have acceptable ID, or a need for it outside of voting day. Those categories of wanna-be voters are not amongst those who usually vote Conservative, giving the cynic further reason to doubt the reasons
behind the Conservative legislation. For anyone who isn’t sure if they can vote, the elections.ca website can answer almost any question. And to be doubly sure, one can always visit an advance poll to cast a vote and fix any problems that arise before election day on Oct. 19. There are four advance polls open Oct. 9 to Oct. 12 from noon to 8 p.m. Your advance polling station may be different than your election day station, so check your voter information card or elections. ca.Voting in the upcoming election is important on Oct. 19 to determine the government we get for a few years, but each vote also counts in more subtle ways. Politicians in future elections must weigh the importance of their platform against the demographics. If a segment of the population turns out to vote en masse, their issues are bound to be considered in future elections and in Parliament. It boils down to this: seniors vote, so politicians listen. And young people don’t vote, so their issues can be overlooked. If you feel insignificant in relation to our federal government, you can do something about it by making sure you are eligible to vote and then turning up to cast a ballot.
Signs of summer’s end
E
ven retired people get dashed up on the rocks of reality at this time of year. Vacations are over, as is the local baseball season, and television commercials proclaim that winter is coming. There are more cars on the road and fewer bicycles. Suddenly you find yourself thinking about Queensway exits again. Which is the one that’s closed? The sudden necessity of being somewhere at a specific time comes as a shock to those who had forgotten about it, which is what summer is for. None of this is new, none of it unexpected; still there are elements of it that are particularly depressing. Such as encountering the display of Halloween candies in the drugstore in the first week of September.

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

That makes the present more difficult to enjoy. Since we have spent the summer living in the present, looking no further ahead than the next toasted marshmallow, the adjustment to a future-oriented life is difficult and not all that pleasant either. How much nicer it would be if we were first informed of, say, Halloween on the actual day. “Today is Halloween, buy some candy� the signs in the stores would say. That might cause a momentary panic, but it would spare us the weeks (seven weeks from this writing!) of preparation. Sure the costumes might be a bit primitive, but think of all the other things that could be done in those seven weeks while others are preparing for Halloween. Those of a more practical mindset will undoubtedly argue that people have a deep psychological need to get ready for things. Furthermore, they will say, society depends on it.

Which is why snow shovels are on sale now, hockey sticks were on sale in May and why you can’t buy a baseball glove when the World Series is on. That pro-planning view is certainly widespread. But it doesn’t take into account the widespread damage that has been inflicted by our obsession with looking ahead. Speeding is an obvious example; people rushing to get some specific place at some specific time. Distracted driving is another, with people looking at phones rather than the road in order to figure out where they are supposed to be when. Looking ahead is expensive too. Think of the thousands, soon to be millions being spent on 2017, the planned celebration of Canada’s 150th birthday. It would be so much cheaper, and maybe more fun to have someone wake us up on July 1, 2017, saying today is Canada’s 150th, what do you feel like doing? EDITORIAL MANAGING EDITOR: 4HERESA &RITZ

Community volunteer new to federal campaign trail
Q: Why are you running? “A former resident of my hometown was an MPP at one time and was former speaker of the legislature and he told me if you have a voice, use it,” Redins said, referring to now deceased Jack Stokes. This is Redins’s first time seeking a federal seat and his first time representing the Green Party. “We are more than Green. We’re (about) a Canada that works together. The idea of a one-party system, that if they win it’s their way or no way and the rest are being forgotten – we have to find a way to work together.” Q: Detail your past political and civic experience or activism at any level of government or political party. “In high school I was very active on student council and published the year books. (From) 1984 to ‘87 (at) Confederation College of Thunder Bay, I was involved in student government there. I was elected as the business students’ president and vice-president of the student union. In Schreiber, I became the curling club president and then I was on committees of council as a volunteer, so I was able to see what goes on bureaucratically. I would attend regular council meetings. After moving to Ottawa, Redins became an area leader with ACORN, a member-driven organization that advocates for lowand middle-income people. He is also a longtime community volunteer. Q: What is the biggest federal issue facing Ottawa South and how has it been handled to date? How would you approach it? “Infrastructure. Not enough money’s being poured into it
Q: What are the biggest federal issues affecting the Ottawa region? How will you address them? “At our meeting with the mayor, we promised we would give (Ottawa) LRT. Myself, I would like to see the (LRT) extension to the Ottawa airport. The last few weeks (during the airport taxi labour dispute) shows that we need it. “The Victims of Communism (memorial) – I’ve been very opposed to it. My father was a POW in Russia during the Second World War (while fighting for the Latvian army). He was captured. My father was a victim. But the money could be better used elsewhere for housing and infrastructure. Why do you
have to put a statute or a monument that costs taxpayer dollars when that money could be used somewhere else to help people. “Make sure that (the) Energy East (pipeline project) is not a go. Restore the Environmental Assessment Act that’s been dismantled.” Q: Nationally, what do you view as the biggest issues facing Canada, and how do you plan to address them? “Environment and poverty. First of all, we will introduce a guaranteed livable income. Poverty’s proven that it increases expenses on health (so we’ll introduce) better health care, including prescription drugs (and) and Pharmacare plan.” Other aspects of the Green Party platform include “dignity for seniors and people with disabilities, accountability and democratic renewal and a healthy environment for future generations,” Redins said. Other candidates in the federal Ottawa South electoral district include Communist Larry Wasslen, Conservative Dev Balkissoon, Liberal incumbent David McGuinty, Libertarian Damien Wilson and New Democrat George Brown.
Staff
Larry Wasslen is a new face on the Ottawa South election campaign trail, but has sought to be a political voice in past election races elsewhere in Ottawa. Wasslen, 63, said he is a strong advocate for public healthcare, state-funded education and workers’ rights. He was played a large role in forming the first union at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario in the early 1980s, advocating for better wages. The majority of Wasslen’s 40-year nursing career was in the neonatal intensive care unit at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario and the General campus of the Ottawa Hospital. He retired in 2013 after working in the special care nursery at the Montfort Hospital. The year after he retired, Wasslen represented the Communist Party in the 2014 provincial elec-
tion in the Ottawa-Centre riding. Prior to that, he served as campaign manager for Stuart Ryan who ran for the Communist Party in Ottawa Centre at the federal level. Born in Winnipeg, Man., the father of three and grandfather of four has resided in Orléans since 1990 with his wife of almost 40 years, Ninfa. Q: Why are you running? “I’m running to give the voters the opportunity to choose between any one of the neo-liberal agendas that the various major political parties are offering – the Conservatives, which we consider to be a fairly far-right agenda. “But the Liberals and the NDP are basically running a neo-liberal austerity agenda, and they’re just offering a tweaking of the current pro-war, pro-capitalist agenda.” See HOUSING, page 12

We want to divert one per cent of the GST to all municipalities for infrastructure. “Plus, instead of making all these announcements just before an election campaign for infrastructure, we’ll have a steady base called the Council of Canadians that will have federal, provincial and municipal leaders to determine where the money goes.”

Meet Ottawa South Libertarian candidate: Damien Wilson Staff
This may be Damien Wilson’s first attempt at seeking to represent the federal Ottawa South riding, but the 21-yearold says he has always had a mind for politics. He hopes to offer a different choice to voters – from young people to military veterans – when they cast their ballots on Oct. 19. Born in Toronto, Wilson moved with his family to Ottawa at age four. He then relocated to the Hunt Club community in 2010. At 16 years old, he became a personal trainer at YMCA, and then switched to retail, eventually moving up to become a department manager at FreshCo. He is presently working on securing his real estate licence. Q: Why are you running? “EI – the Harper government used that to balance the budget. I want to get us out of the wars in the Middle East.

Hunt Club resident Damien Wilson is the Libertarian Party candidate for Ottawa South. juana is way overdue,” Wilson said of his reasons for becoming a Libertarian candidate and seeking to represent the federal Ottawa South riding. Q: Detail your past political and civic experience or activism at any level of government or political party. “Last election, I was doing
some serious research of who I wanted to vote for and what party I wanted to join,” Wilson said. “From there, I was really disappointed with my options. I decided I’m going to become that option.” Q: What is the biggest federal issue facing Ottawa South and how has it been
handled to date? How would you approach it? “Justice hasn’t been handled (well). That’s unfortunate because you hear things about mandatory minimums,” he said, adding that he has met many people who smoke marijuana, “and I don’t want them to be accidentally dragged up in the process.” “Our party has looked into the idea of basic income and not many parties have put forward serious proposals on that front,” he said, referring to the notion of a basic income that would be given out unconditionally. “I think that would be a far better safety net than the various safety programs that we have now.” Q: What are the biggest federal issues affecting the Ottawa region? How will you address them? “On the Victims of Communist memorial I find it ironic that a monument (to) the vic-
gains this strong, during any previous recession,” says Cooper. Seen as one of the most influential economists in Canada for several decades, Cooper says a provincial sectoral decline is a far cry from a true national recession. “Really what drove the numbers down were the difficulties in the oil patch. For Alberta there is a recession but for Canada as a whole, no. When oil prices were high, Alberta was booming and the Canadian dollar was strong. That hurt exports from the manufacturing sectors in Ontario and Quebec.”
Anyone who says Canada is in a recession isn’t an economist – says leading economist Ottawa, ON – Dr. Sherry Cooper, the chief economist for Dominion Lending Centres and long-time trusted economic commentator across North America, offered some strong opinion to recent reports Canada is in an economic recession.

“Everyone thinks it’s a recession except for economists! Real recessions see widespread contraction, which we simply aren’t seeing across the country. We have never seen consumption growth, housing activity, auto sales and employment
Ottawa South News - Thursday, September 17, 2015
Overall, Cooper remains bullish on the current state of the Canadian economy, “I think we are going to see a significant rebound . . . roughly to 2 1/2 per cent growth for the second half of this year and into next year.” This is a far cry from recent reports of growth forecasts of a much more conservative 1.1 percent growth for the coming year by a survey of 16 economists conducted by Census Economics. But Cooper is
tims of central planning is being taxpayer funded,” he said. “If someone wants to privately support such a memorial I’m not against it, but as it stands it’s just not something we should be doing. “We’ve got people that are facing job cuts even in the public service and any cent gone to silly pet projects is simply unacceptable,” he said. “As far as the LRT goes, it’s really unfortunate that a lot of pressure is being put on the federal government to fund these projects because ultimately it is the responsibility of the provincial and municipal governments,” he said. “And if they are unable to deliver on their election promises they should face that in an election, instead of pressuring the federal government to do things within their jurisdiction.” Q: Nationally, what do you view as the biggest issues facing Canada, and how do you plan to address them?
basing her forecast on a number of factors, including the rebounding US economy, with US growth revised up to 3.7 percent in the second quarter. “It’s positive for Canada,” says Cooper. “We’ve seen that in the most recent export numbers . . . most of that trade is with US. In addition, despite the five-months of declining GDP this year, Canada’s job growth has been impressive. The 54,400 jump in August brought this year’s increase in full-time jobs to an impressive 174,000. Canadian consumers are buying big-ticket items, with home sales strong yet again last month (outside of Alberta), boosting mortgage activity, and auto sales showing big gains. Housing is likely to slow only modestly in the next year as the Bank of Canada keeps short-term interest rates at record lows and longer-term yields edge only modestly higher.” When it comes to the effect of the federal election, Cooper points out any change in government creates a market selloff to a certain degree,
Immigration has become a hot-button issue this election, said Wilson. “As it stands, the Libertarian Party wants to make sure that it’s not a complicated process. The last thing we want stopping an asylum seeker, an immigrant or a refugee is the paperwork,” he said. “Ultimately, we do encourage private sponsorship.” In the context of the economy, Wilson said his party does not stand for investing in any resources in any industry. “Cut back on that corporate socialism so that businesses have to compete on their own level. That way we won’t be susceptible to these booms and these busts that we have,” he said. Other candidates in the federal Ottawa South electoral district include Communist Larry Wasslen, Conservative Dev Balkissoon, Green John Redins, Liberal incumbent David McGuinty and New Democrat George Brown.
but says talk of balanced budgets and prudent fiscal policy currently being heard by all three main federal parties will likely stabilize the markets quickly.

“So when it comes to understanding the concerns of people in this riding, I do have a pretty good handle on it,” he said. Q: Why are you running? “The Canada I am seeing now is not the Canada of my youth. It’s not the Canada that gave me the opportunities that I had to graduate debt-free from school, that supported seniors or veterans. “I’m running because of that – the direction of the country is not the direction that reflects my values, and I think the values of most people I’ve certainly met at the doors. “And I’m running because I believe I can make a difference, that I have the skills, the experience, to be an effective member of parliament. “I’m also doing it because I’m not cynical about politics. This is important and that’s the message that I give to a lot of young people,” he said. Q: Detail your past political and civic experience or activism at any level of government or political party. “When I was a city (and regional) councillor, I was probably seen as a centralist, progressive on social policies, but fiscally responsible,” said Brown. “I was never really active (in party politics) until I ran for the Green Party provincially in 1995. I put my name forward because no parties – not the Liberals, not the NDP even or the Conservatives – at the time, I think, really reflected my really strong views on environmental issues (and) sustainability.” His financial experiencing in providing micro loans to businesses prompted him to unsuccessfully seek the nomination for the federal Ottawa South Conservatives in 2008. But then he had a change of heart and party when he saw the Conservatives follow the Liberal Party’s tactic of cutting corporate taxes and drying up revenue. His concerns mounted over spiking student debt and slashed transfer payments. “After I realized I wasn’t a Conservative anymore, I actually realized I was a progressive, basically against these sorts of measures.” Q: What is the biggest federal issue facing Ottawa South and how has it been handled to date? How would you approach it? “It’s treatment and respect for the public service. There is such a feeling of despair. I’ve talked to public servants, people who went into public service with high ideals who feel their expertise is not being listened to, who feel they’re being scape-
goated – and they are,” Brown said. “We need to value our public servants and treat them with respect, and live up to our promises. We have raised health premiums for retired public servants after it was negotiated. There is no respect for them, and it’s a large riding of public servants.” Brown said issues facing newcomers are also his priority. “We have got a large number of newcomers (in Ottawa South),” he said. “We’re going to repeal C-51 (the government’s anti-terrorism bill which became law in June), and secondly you’ve got immigration policy that is being switched away from – I would say – balance between economic and family reunification. Q: What are the biggest federal issues affecting the Ottawa region? How will you address them? “Light rail and the Ottawa River – those are two massive projects that are very important. It’s unacceptable to have the water conditions we have in the Ottawa (River),” said Brown, who co-founded the Ottawa Riverkeeper, a charitable organization that advocates for the protection and health of the Ottawa River. “Again, it’s related to infrastructure. So we’re talking about giving municipalities an extra cent off the gas tax which I can’t give you a hard number but it’s in the billions. Specifically for municipalities, long-term stable funding – that’s important. “I would (also) include affordable housing in Ottawa South – that’s a big issue. But in the end all of that relies on funding and the transfers from the province and the feds,” he said. Q: Nationally, what do you view as the biggest issues facing Canada, and how do you plan to address them? “The biggest issue is climate change. Climate change is the fundamental issue facing this generation,” said Brown. “As slavery was in the 1800s, as building a caring society was in the 50s and 60s when the Canada as we know it was really put in place.” “Climate change and dealing with that in whatever way we need to, whether it’s carbon taxes or cap and trade or regulation – but real action on climate change. If we don’t deal with this, this is all irrelevant,” he said.

Housing, wages top priorities: Communist candidate Continued from page 9
“It entails things like full-time employment, a major employment effort with an emphasis on cutting down the unemployment rate, a full employment strategy, higher wages, some conditional ideas such as nationalizing the banks and the extraction industries, such as oil and gas and the mining industries, much stronger public health orientation, state-funded education, from Kindergarten through to university – a typical socialist approach to running the economy and delivering social services.”

Q: Detail your past political and civic experience or activism at any level of government or political party. “I was one of the nurses who led the formation of the first union at the children’s hospital. That was in the early ‘80s. The Ontario Nurses Association was the first union to establish itself at CHEO and I played a significant role in that effort. “One of the things I was fighting for was equal pay because the nurses at the children’s hospital were making 10 per cent less than the nurses at the General,” he said.

Q: What is the biggest federal issue facing Ottawa South and how has it been handled to date? How would you approach it? “I think one of the big issues is the cost of housing. People are having a great deal of difficulty making ends meet. So one of the things the Communist Party is fighting for is large-scale investment in low-cost public housing, co-operative housing, to reduce the costs for people and to increase the amount of available residences people could have access to. “The other thing we’re looking for is much better wages for workers, full-time employment with benefits for workers. One of the things we’re ad-
vocating for is a workers’ bill of rights and make unionization easier, which would make strikebreaking illegal and give workers a chance to catch up on the wage front.” Q: What are the biggest federal issues affecting the Ottawa region? How will you address them? “The Harper regime has devastated public services in Ottawa. There have been so many layoffs and cuts, so stopping the austerity agenda of the Harper regime is a big issue for us. “Increasing wages is big. One of the other things i would say is important is state-funded education. “Certainly, we support light rail and mass transportation. We’d like to see that go ahead and that should be federally funded.” Q: Nationally, what do you view as the biggest issues facing Canada, and how do you plan to address them? “A very big issue facing Canada is this pro-war agenda of the Harper regime. It’s also very much an NDP-Liberal problem because they fully support this kind of foreign policy. Not just overseas fighting ISIS, but the Harper regime’s foreign policy of regime change. “If they don’t like a government, they go in and bomb that country. They did it in Libya. They participated in Afghanistan and they’re participating in Iraq and Syria. They’re destabilizing these countries, and there’s a massive refugee problem and they say it’s not our problem. We’re not going to deal with that.” Other candidates in the federal Ottawa South electoral district include Conservative Dev Balkissoon, Green John Redins, Liberal incumbent David McGuinty, Libertarian Damien Wilson and New Democrat George Brown.

Low tax plan among Ottawa South priorities: Conservative Continued from page 2
“Transit infrastructure and economic development – both of those were the big issues that we touched on,” he said, referring to the Conservative candidates’ meeting with Mayor Jim Watson. “I can tell you that the Building Canada Plan ... is helping to fund a lot of these projects,” he said. “Our interest is that it has to be a plan that serves all of the city, but we specifically want to ensure that things don’t bypass Ottawa South, that Ottawa South is included so that the residents of Ottawa South will be able to fully participate in that transit plan.” Q: What are the biggest federal issues affecting the Ottawa region? How will you address them? “What I’m hearing at the doors are issues regarding low taxes. People really are concerned that we are able to have balanced budgets, and that we don’t increase taxes. People are concerned about having money, just being able to have a low-tax plan – that’s the first one. “People are very concerned about safe streets, safe communities and having a good standard of living for our seniors,” he said.
Q: Nationally, what do you view as the biggest issues facing Canada, and how do you plan to address them? “Ensuring that budgets are balanced in order to remain in a low-tax environment, managing the economy, similarly, and the other, nationally, is the issues of security and our stance on the international stage. “I think on the economy, Finance Canada just announced that the Conservative government has posted a $5-billion surplus. I think that StatCan has announced the June numbers and June has seen the strongest growth of any single month in the last year. “And similarly private-sector and public-sector economists have projected strong economic growth for our GDP in the last half of this year,” Balkissoon said. “So what all that tells me is that Prime Minister Harper’s plan for the economy is working,. he said.” Other candidates in the federal Ottawa South electoral district include Communist Larry Wasslen, Green John Redins, Liberal incumbent David McGuinty, Libertarian Damien Wilson and New Democrat George Brown.

City to host forum on helping refugees
e it your place to play! k a M
Oda’s parents and siblings, as well as the relatives of her husband, Farhan Al Ahmad, left everything behind in Syria, and now their hopes lie with Oda and Al Ahmad, who only arrived here in Ottawa eight months ago with their six children. “We need help,” Al Ahmad said as his wife clutches sponsorship paperwork she hopes will bring them to Canada. “She wants to submit it, she just doesn’t know where to file the paperwork,” El Masry said, adding that Fraser’s staff will help her connect with the right people to make that possible. Oda, her husband and several others looking to sponsor refugees arrived at the Bruyère Catholic Centre for Immigrants on Sept. 13, listening as local politicians – Fraser, Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi and Mayor Jim Watson – pledged their collective support for refugee resettlement efforts. In addition to urging the federal government to expedite the resettlement process and bring 5,000 refugees to Canada by the end of this year – of these, Ontario would take 2,500 – the province is promising $8.5 million over two-and-a-half years to boost the number of refugees in Ontario and help them settle in once they arrive, Fraser said, echoing Premier Kathleen Wynne’s announcement made the day before. The funds are expected to help resettle up to 10,000 refugees by the end of 2016, though this depends on the federal government, which has jurisdiction over immigration. Another $2 million will help United Nations agencies feed, clothe and shelter Syrian war refugees currently overseas, said Fraser. Naqvi said across Ottawa people are asking the same questions: “‘How can I help? Where do I go? What are the steps?’” “And we, as a province, are saying we are ready, willing and able to make that happen, that we will work with our local organizations, with our local community groups ... to show that when our new friends and new brothers and sisters start arriving to Ottawa, we’re ready,” said Naqvi. The bulk of the new money will support private refugee sponsors, such as individuals, faith groups and community organizations, provide trauma counselling and integration programs for children and youth, and encourage employers to hire and train refugees.
“Individuals are doing their part. Communities are doing their part,” Fraser said of the response to what has become “an unprecedented humanitarian crisis.” “We’ve stepped up to recognize that. There’s pressure on the federal government right now to do the right thing and to find a way to help those people,” he said. Like Oda, Brian Dawod is also fearful for his Syrian relatives, some of whom have escaped to Lebanon, where they are waiting for help. He also approached Fraser, expressing his frustration over the federal government’s delays in processing his sponsorship application, which he said has been returned four times over the course of a year. “I received a letter that ‘Yes, we accepted the application, but we are still processing 2013 applications,’” said Dawod, a Hunt Club resident. “So I have to wait, I don’t know, five or six years for that. Maybe they’ll die before coming here.” Fraser said the backlog to process applications at the federal level is across the board – for both refugee applicants and immigrants. The Ontario government’s commitment to bringing another 10,000 refugees to the province “is a very good start,” said Carl Nicholson, executive director of the Catholic Centre for Immigrants. There are an estimated 60 million displaced people in the world who are “all looking for a home and we are living on a very big piece of land. We have all kinds of assets here,” he said. Germany, for example, has committed to taking half a million refugees every year over the next decade. “Should we choose, we could do that,” Nicholson said. “I don’t think that’s really the issue – whether we have enough assets to do it – it’s if we have the will.” LOOKING FOR ANSWERS
The City of Ottawa will host an information forum and town hall at City Hall on Oct. 1, 5:30 to 7 p.m., to connect residents and community groups wishing to assist Syrian refugee resettlement efforts. Experts, sponsored families and representatives from front-line organizations will make short presentations, explaining how residents and community groups can get involved in helping refugees come to Canada and transition into their new lives here. A question-and-answer period will follow.

In the wake of the cancellation, the foundation invited participants to drop off their pledges on Sept. 13. Earlier this year, The Ride was rebranded from Ride the Rideau, and organizers announced the route would be relocated from its previous starting point at the EY Centre after participant Laurie Strano was struck and killed last year as she cycled the route in the Manotick area. “Our community wanted The Ride to continue and we are grateful to all of the individuals and com-

The event is said to be the most successful cancer fund-
raiser held on one day in eastern Ontario. Combined with this year’s fundraising total, it has generated more than $10 million for cancer research at the Ottawa Hospital since the charity ride’s inception six years ago.
“This event supports critical and groundbreaking research at the Ottawa Hospital and our community wants that research to continue,” Kluke said. “While weather is keeping us off the road this year, we still have a lot to celebrate.”
Ottawa police are on the hunt for a male suspect after a teen reported being attacked while walking along McCarthy Road in the Hunt Club neighbourhood. Sexual assault and child abuse investigators are asking for the public’s help in identifying the male, who they say came up behind a 16-year-old girl as she walked along McCarthy Road near Twyford Street on Sept. 3 around 8:10 p.m. He grabbed her by the hair and attempted to sexually assault her, according to police. “The victim then struck the suspect and was able to run away,” investigators said in the statement, issued on Sept. 9. The male is described as having a medium complexion and possibly of Middle Eastern descent, a thin build, black scruffy hair, between 20 and 25 years old and standing six-feet to six-foot-two. At the time of the incident, he was wearing darkcoloured pants and a Barcelona soccer jersey with a white collar. Anyone with information on the case is asked to call the police sexual assault and child abuse unit at 613-236-1222, ext. 5944, or make an anonymous call to Crime Stoppers at 613-233-8477.

OC Transpo budget derailed by $11.5 million Capital reserve to pay for public transit operations deficit emma.jackson@metroland.com
OC Transpo is borrowing from Peter to pay Paul as it faces an $11.5-million deficit by the end of this year. Rising maintenance costs and higher insurance claim payouts were the biggest contributors to the budget derailment, but it’s the transit operator’s capital reserves that will pick up the tab, according to OC Transpo general manager John Manconi. A handful of ongoing capital projects that have come in under budget will put those savings back into the transit reserve fund, to the tune of about $5 million. Another set of completed projects will also turn $2.7 million in savings over to the reserve. These funds will be used to offset any deficit that’s still left after OC Transpo implements strict cost-cutting mea-
Bus maintenance costs, for example, are projected to come in more than $6 million over budget this year, eight per cent higher than expected, because a five-year warranty on the city’s fleet of hybrid buses ran out, leaving OC Transpo on the hook for repairs. Those costs are “the new base,” Manconi said, at least until light rail is up and running and the city can shed a big part of its fleet in 2019. Insurance claims are also likely to remain high, given national trends toward more litigation, although Manconi said it’s incredibly hard to predict how much should be budgeted for that sort of thing each year. He did confirm the extra payouts were not related to the 2013 bus-train crash in Barrhaven, which left six people dead and 35 more injured.
sures, including a 20 per cent spending freeze across the organization, a hiring freeze for non-front line workers and the elimination of five management positions. There was some hesitation about this approach around the transit commission table on Sept. 14, as councillors dissected the plan line by line. Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson said she was nervous about the long-term budget impacts of using capital money to cover increasing operational costs – generally a no-no in the fiscal planning world. “I think it’s a very bad way to go,” Wilkinson said. “It puts a huge pressure on operations next year because we can’t continue to rob the capital budget.” Especially since Manconi said the increased operational costs are likely here to stay, at least for the next few years.

Want the Real Beauty Benefits of Collagen?
By now you know. Adding body collagen directly reduces wrinkles, increases skin elasticity, and adds vital moisture to your skin. Indirectly, collagen thickens and strengthens your hair. You may also know that collagen production slows by 1% per year after the age of 21. Can you gain it back? Yes. But not by eating collagen. You see, collagen is a protein. When you ingest it, your body breaks it down, like any other protein, and uses it as food. When you want the real beauty benefits of collagen, you have to generate it.

Elmvale Acres library branch gets a high-tech makeover New radio-frequency kiosks, and service hub is coming Erin McCracken
erin.mccracken@metroland.com
The Elmvale Acres branch of the Ottawa Public Library is undergoing the first of three closures this fall to prepare it for an overhaul of high-tech proportions. The branch, which is closed this week from Sept. 16 to 19, is the latest in the 34-branch library system scheduled to receive radio-frequency equipment, including new self-checkout kiosks. Library users will be able to place their stack of books, magazines, DVDs and CDs in the kiosks. The materials, which have already had their barcodes replaced with radio-frequency identification (or RFID) tags, can be scanned in the blink of an eye and recorded on the user’s library card. “That’s the beauty – it’s easy to use and it’s really quick,” said Catherine Seaman, the library’s division manager of branch operations. “That’s a huge step for people, especially when you think of a mother borrowing 50 books for her kids.” The same goes for returning books since the new technology will apply to branch book
drops. Materials placed in the revamped drops will almost instantly be removed from the user’s library card. The new technology is being touted as a time-saver for staff, and is expected to save money and provide better control of inventory. The multimillion-dollar system-wide retrofit began in 2012 with the Hazeldean branch in Kanata and is expected to be fully in place by 2017 or 2018. “Because it’s self-funded, we have to do it bit by bit,” Seaman said, adding that the various stages of the project go to the library board for budget approval each year. “So it’s a longer process than we would have liked, but it’s the only way we can get it done.” The scope of the work done at each branch will depend on the size of the library. Some branches will only receive RFID check-out stations and new security gates, while larger branches are receiving multiple check-out kiosks, security gates, new service hubs as well as automated book sorters. Elmvale Acres won’t be getting the sorter, but it has been tapped to receive a new service
every public library will have RFID technology, if they can afford it.” IN THE STACKS

Transit ridership below forecast Continued from page 19
Compounding the operational pressures is the fact that ridership has flat-lined in the past three years at about 97 million annual trips. OC Transpo staff don’t know why this is happening exactly, but customer systems manager Pat Scrimgeour said they “strongly suspect” it
could have something to do with cuts to the federal government – and not just how many jobs, but where. “As they’ve moved jobs from downtown to Gatineau, from downtown to Barrhaven, or if the jobs they’ve reduced have been primarily downtown jobs … its loss of downtown employment, disproportionate
to the loss of employment in general,” Scrimgeour said. He said a high proportion of downtown federal workers traditionally take transit to work, because there’s no easy way to drive into the city, parking is not provided and transit is accessible. As jobs are moved to less congested areas of the city, where traffic is better and
No ce of Filing of Addendum Glen Cairn Flood Inves ga on Environmental Study Report Morrena Road Major Drainage Improvements The City of O awa has iden fied an opportunity to upgrade the Stormwater Major Drainage Network within the Morrena Road area. Work currently iden fied as part of the project includes re-grading Morrena Road, reconstruc on of the Morrena Road roadway structure, installa on of an underground stormwater major drainage network and installa on of a stormwater management pond adjacent to the Hazeldean Library. Currently, the project is proposed to be constructed in two phases under one contract. Construc on Phase 1 is scheduled for spring 2016 with the installa on of a stormwater management pond adjacent to the Hazeldean Library. Construc on Phase 2 is scheduled for summer 2016 with the installa on of an underground stormwater major drainage network, as well as re-grading and reconstruc on of the Morrena Road roadway structure. Construc on phasing has been developed to mi gate impacts to the daily rou ne of the Glen Cairn Public School during the ac ve school year. Subject to comments received as a result of this No ce and receipt of necessary approvals, the City of O awa intends to proceed with the comple on of the detailed design, tendering and construc on of this project. In March of 2011, major drainage improvements within the Morrena Road area were approved as part of the Glen Cairn Flood Inves ga ons Environmental Study Report. Due to a change in stormwater conveyance strategy as well as re-grading works along Morrena Road, an addendum to the original Environmental Study Report has been prepared which details the planning process used to iden fy the preferred Morrena Road major drainage design. The addendum to the Environmental Study Report is available for review at the following loca on: O awa Public Library – Hazeldean Branch 50 Castlefrank Road O awa, ON K2L 2N5 Interested persons may provide wri en comments to the City of O awa on the proposed works within 30 calendar days from the date of this no ce.

parking may be free, that dynamic changes. Going forward, a 2.5 per cent annual fare increase is still on the table, but neither commission chairman Coun. Stephen Blais nor Manconi would divulge whether the 2016 budget will see hikes even higher than that. Right now, fares cover 52 per cent of the transit system’s costs, with the other 48 per cent paid through taxes. The city’s stated goal is to get to
55 per cent fare-supported – although that difference can come from efficiencies in running light rail trains instead of buses, Manconi said. He did, however, argue in favour of predictable and reasonable fare increases. “You can either raise taxes or raise fares or you provide less service,” he said. The launch of light rail in 2018 will be “a whole new ball game” in terms of operational and fare costs, Blais added –
but until then, customers must deal with the consequences of past planning decisions. “The challenges we’re facing in transit were predicted a decade ago, when previous councils cancelled light rail,” Blais said. “Light rail eastwest would already be up and running, and we’d be probably be building stage two by now. That set us back a decade and the consequences of those decisions are coming home to roost.”
Open House Lemieux Island WPP Intake Improvements Environmental Assessment Date: Wednesday, September 30, 2015 Time: 4 – 6 p.m. Location: Filter Gallery Lemieux Island Water Purification Plant 1 River Street, Ottawa, ON K1Y 2C4 The City of Ottawa (the City) has initiated a Class Environmental Assessment (EA) for improvements to the Lemieux Island Water Purification Plant (WPP) intake. The City operates two WPPs to supply drinking water to the city—the Lemieux Island WPP (capacity of 400 ML/d; built in 1931) and the Britannia WPP (capacity of 360 ML/d; built in 1961). The source water for both plants is the Ottawa River. In the past, the City has had issues at the Lemieux Island WPP, with frazil ice buildup at the intake piping. Frazil ice forms in open, turbulent, supercooled water which is typical of the river conditions near the plant intake. Because of the relatively shallow depth of water above the intake piping, frazil ice builds up below the ice surface and interferes with the flow entering the plant. This frazil ice can block the intake pipe and associated screening, resulting in unplanned WPP shutdowns or significantly restricted plant flows, which put the water supply at risk. The City is currently investigating solutions for improving the intake to mitigate the impacts of frazil ice on the WPP. This study is being conducted in accordance with the requirements of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (2000, amended 2004, 2007 and 2011). The final deliverable for this project will be an environmental assessment report outlining the preferred alternative for modifying the inlet structure to prevent restrictions to the plant intake due to frazil ice. This report will be filed and available for public review for a period of 30 days upon completion. Stakeholder (public and agency) consultation is a key element of the Class EA process. The purpose of this upcoming Public Information Centre is to present the draft recommendation for improving the intake to mitigate the impacts of frazil ice on the WPP. Residents and other interested parties are invited to drop-in anytime during the Public Information Centre for the opportunity for further information about the project and the Environmental Assessment process. Staff from the City and the consulting team will be available to explain the project and answer questions. Project information will be available on the City of Ottawa website (http://ottawa.ca/en/city-hall/public-consultations). A notice of completion will be issued upon close of the project. Comments are welcome at any time during the study. For further information, contact: André Bourque, P. Eng.

Former Osgoode councillor killed in Albion crash Carol Parker remembered for work in education, music Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com
Greely resident Carol Parker has worn many hats: school trustee, Greely Players founder, Osgoode councillor, music teacher. All that on top of her titles as wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend. Parker, 73, was killed in a car crash at Mitch Owens and Albion roads on Sunday, Sept. 6 as she was returning home from visiting her husband in hospital. Two others were taken to hospital in critical condition. South-end residents are reeling from the news, remembering Parker for her leadership, her musicality and her unwavering dedication to the community. “She’s going to be missed by a lot of people and she’s going to be remembered for the contributions she made in a number of areas,” said Lynn Scott, an Ottawa-Carleton District School Board trustee who worked with Parker for three years before Ottawa and Carleton joined boards. “Wherever she was, whatever she was involved in, there was no question Carol was a leader. When she spoke, people listened.” Parker was born Nov. 22, 1941 in Birmingham, England. She moved to Canada with her
husband Roy and settled in the Greely area. She was a Carleton District School Board trustee from 1985 to 1997, serving as chairwoman for several years as well. She then ran successfully as one of four councillors in Osgoode Township under the leadership of Mayor Doug Thompson in 1997. “She was very, very dedicated to her work as a trustee and on council,” Thompson remembered. “I can recall she would read her agendas so thoroughly before each meeting and she had written things in. She was very thorough.” He said even after she left public life, she took great interest in the health of the community – sometimes emailing Thompson when she noticed trees down in Andy Shields Park or had an issue with dog owners leaving waste on the ground. “(She and her husband) were very community-minded people,” he said. “She was really just a kind, conscientious, dedicated person. She never looked for any personal gain.” In between her public service, Parker also found time to create the Greely Players, a community theatre group that has blossomed into a huge, close-knit family of current and past participants that reaches far outside of Osgoode ward.

She developed the theatre out of a small church choir at All Saints Church in 1990, and was the group’s first president. She stayed on the executive until 1997 and produced 10 musicals, doubling as vocal director for Sound of Music, South Pacific, Peter Pan and Camelot. Current president Holly Villeneuve first met Parker as a small child through her church, where Parker noticed Villeneuve’s keen interest in music. “She told me as soon as I started reading she would teach me to play piano. And she went as far as buying me little books to practice reading,” Villeneuve said. As a piano teacher and producer for the theatre group, Parker was no softie; Villeneuve said she encouraged her charges to reach for the top. “She knew what she wanted out of you and she pushed you hard for excellence, to make you better,” Villeneuve said. Parker encouraged her students to attend the arts program at Canterbury High School and to pursue all avenues of art, Villeneuve added. As a trustee, Parker also fought to keep music alive in the education system. “She was a strong advocate for making sure that we didn’t forget about the arts in education - and her concept of the arts was not confined to instrumental music,” said Scott. “She was the kind of person who never lost sight of the ultimate goal, which was a rewarding and rich

Mayor Jim Watson wants to see the Ottawa Senators play on the lawn right next to the home of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Senate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Senators versus the Montreal Canadiens could be the end to the 2017 celebrations,â&#x20AC;? Watson said on Sept. 14, referring to the year-long party planned for Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
150th birthday. Watson said an outdoor NHL hockey game may be in the cards for Ottawa in 2017, and TD Place and LeBreton Flats are possibilities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But Parliament Hill would be the most dramatic venue,â&#x20AC;? he said. The game would likely be played against the Montreal Canadiens, on or close to the 100th anniversary of the first
NHL game, played on Dec. 19, 1917. In that match, the Canadiens beat the Ottawa Senators 7-4. Watson said he met with NHL commissioner Gary Bettman a year ago to express interest in a 2017 outdoor game, but the match has yet to be confirmed. The Senators have since pitched in $500,000 towards Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2017 celebrations.

Water rescue request a false alarm but still the right call: fire official Erin McCracken

right thing – that, when in doubt, it’s still important to notify emergency personnel. “Whenever they are concerned, (they should call and) describe what they see and not necessarily interpret what they’re seeing, because some people might think someone splashing around might be in distress,” said Rainboth. “Whereas others might be just seeing it as a sign of kids having fun.”

Reports of people possibly in need of rescue from the Rideau River near Vimy Memorial Bridge on Sept. 9 turned out to be a false alarm. “It was called in by some people who weren’t certain of the status of the people in the water,” said Capt. Bob Rainboth, fire department spokesman, said. It was just after 12 p.m. on Sept. 9 when Riverside South-based firefighters deployed their boat in the waterway near Earl Armstrong and River roads, where the bridge connects Riverside South and Barrhaven. “It was people who were swimming and playing and they had some canoes, being loud and the people on shore on the opposite side weren’t sure,” Rainboth said. Initial observations were of two people floating in the water hanging onto a canoe. “It turned out they were having fun and (were) safe and sound,” said Rainboth. But, he added, those who made the 911 call did the

Cycle In aims to improve urban bike routes Brier Dodge
brier.dodge@metroland.com
Cyclists travel in to the downtown core every day, but on Sept. 14, the Cycle In event aimed to use their commutes to better cycling infrastructure in Ottawa. The event was organized by Ottawa Centre EcoDistrict, an organization which is working to make downtown more sustainable and attractive to businesses and organizations through initiatives such as improving cycling commutes. “It looks like everyone had fun,” said Don Grant, the organization’s executive director. “And I know we’re going to get a lot of great data.” The data was collected during 21 different rides and routes from the 12 closest wards to the city centre. The rides included EcoDistrict riders, regular bike commuters, and on some routes, city councillors. A synopsis will be written up for each route, with “the good and the bad,” Grant said. The summaries will be given to each ward councillor, as well as appropriate city departments, with suggestions on what can be improved. Grant took a route to City Hall that started at Cummings and Donald streets. While the construction on the route presented a challenge,

From left, Alexia Naidoo, Tim Hore and John Royle rode to City Hall from Old Ottawa South on Sept. 14 after taking part in the Cycle In event organized by the Ottawa Centre EcoDistrict. he applauded the almost finished bridge across the Rideau River as an improvement that will greatly benefit cyclists and cut seven to eight minutes of biking time off the route once it’s completed.
Cyclist Tim Hore, who biked in from Old Ottawa South, was able to share his experience with Mayor Jim Watson as Watson – whose doctors won’t allow him to bike yet after his winter snowmobile accident – came
out to meet cyclists and hear about their experiences. “Lansdowne is ambiguous to where cars, pedestrians and bikes should be,” Hore told Watson of his route, which cut through Lansdowne
to get to the Queen Elizabeth Parkway paths. Tracey Clark cycles daily from Acacia Avenue to Preston Street, and said it was nice to have company and discuss different issues with other cyclists who took the same routes as she did. “Our route felt fairly safe, but we ended up having conversations about our own safety, and talked about where it was bad,” She said the worst part of her daily ride is along Wellington, where cars turn right onto Lyon and are not always conscious of cyclists and their safety. Her other gripe is about a pathway that she enjoys taking in the summer, but can’t take in the winter behind Parliament. “NCC doesn’t clear it in the winter,” she said. “Why can’t these three jurisdictions, the NCC, the city and Parks Canada, get it together to clear it?” She said she hopes city council listens to cyclists, and thinks they will, saying the current council has been proactive when it comes to cycling. Other routes included departures from Richmond and Woodroffe roads, Meadowlands and Merivale roads, Montreal Road and the Aviation Parkway, Mooney’s Bay, and Alta Vista Drive and Industrial Avenue.

CHEO launches Dream of a Lifetime Lottery Joseph Morin
joe.morin@metroland.com
The Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario sets a great example in supporting the region’s sick children. The community will be joining in with its support for another exciting Dream of a Lifetime Lottery. CHEO launched its 25th Dream of Lifetime Lottery on Sept. 14 at this year’s Minto Dream Home just outside of Manotick. The grand prize package is located at 800 Percival Cres. and is a fully furnished, exquisitely decorated home. The grand prize comes with $100,000 in cash, a 2016 Chevy Camaro from Meyers Automotive Group, house cleaning for a year, $5,000 in groceries from Farm Boy and furnishings by La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries. That is only the first of many great prizes to be won. The lottery launch featured a gathering of community builders who have teamed up to make this venture a success.
Graham Richardson, CTV coanchor was the master of ceremonies. “This is one of my favourite events,” said Richardson. He joked that when you look at the interest in the dream house lottery compared to your everyday election story there is no comparison. People really care about CHEO, he said. CHEO Foundation president and CEO Kevin Keohane said last year’s lottery was a sell-out and this year organizers expect the same. He said that this year the fundraising goal is $3 million and over the past 25 years the Dream of a Lifetime Lottery had raised $46 million for CHEO. Keohane stressed the importance of the community and team effort for the lottery and said, “If everyone thinks of just their part – everyone involved in this project will make it a success.” One child who has had the good fortune to have CHEO in her life is 14-year-old Clara von Maltzahn. She attended the lottery launch.
When she was six years old she was diagnosed with Systemic Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis. The treatments she received at CHEO has made a difference. “CHEO is huge in my life,” she said. “If CHEO had not treated me I would be in a wheelchair right now. I would be miserable.” Richardson asked Clara what she thought of the house. She paused before asking him if he had seen the television downstairs, which brought a laugh from those gathered. On a more serious note Clara said, “CHEO is my hope for the future. They took my arthritis away. They are everything.” The Dream of a Lifetime Lottery is a great opportunity to give luck a helping hand and support a great institution at the same time. There will only be 65,000 tickets sold and that makes for very good odds of grabbing one of the 4,789 prizes. You can visit the dream home yourself from noon to 8
p.m. from Monday to Friday and on Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The new dream home and all that goes with it is the first prize but there are others. The second prize is worth over $161,000 and includes $100,000 cash. Along with cash prizes there is a 2016 Nissan Rogue SL, AWD from Myers Automotive Group, a seven-day Eastern or Western Caribbean Cruise for two from Destination Anywhere and an Ottawa Senators 100 Level Flex 40 season ticket package. The early bird package is valued at more than $95,000 but tickets must be purchased by Nov. 13, 2015. This particular package includes a trip for two to the 2016 NHL all-star game in Nashville, $50,000 cash and a 2016 Volkswagon Jetta Highline from Myers Automotive group. Also a trip for two to the five-star Majestic Elegance hotel, Punta Cana, Dominican Republic from
Marlin Travel and Transat Vacations. You could also win 2,500 early bird bonus tickets that will give you another chance at the many prizes in the final draws. The 50/50 draw has returned. This year the guaranteed payout is $250,000. The more tickets sold, the higher payout. When you purchase a Dream of a Lifetime Lottery ticket, remember to purchase your tickets for the 50/50 draw. The cost is one for $10, five for $25 and 15 for $15. Last year, the jackpot ended up at $1,041,400, so the 50/50 winner took home $520,700. Grey Cup Draw
Anyone ordering their tickets before midnight on Sept. 25 could win a trip for two to the 103rd Grey Cup in Winnipeg. The prize includes the two tickets, return airfare for two from Ottawa to Winnipeg, Manitoba and three night ac-
commodations for two at the Hampton Inn by Hilton, Winnipeg Airport. T Tickets are $100 each or three for $250. They can be ordered by calling 613-722-KIDS (5437) or 1-877-562-5437, or at a participating bank, BMO, TD Canada Trust, CIBC, RBC, Scotiabank and Banque Nationale. • Closing dates for all ticket sales is Friday, Dec. 11, 2015 • The Grey Cup ticket sale deadline is midnight, Sept. 25, 2015 • Early bird deadline is midnight, Friday, Nov. 13, 2015 • 2,500 Early Bird ticket winners will be drawn on Tuesday, Dec. 15, 2015 • The Early Bird package will be drawn on Wednesday, Dec. 16, 2015 • 50/50 and final draws will be held on Tuesday, Jan. 5 and Wednesday, Jan. 6, 2016.

Detained youth training centre ‘about more than bricks and mortar’ surprised to see a metal sign with their deceased son Jamie’s name and the words “A life that touches others goes on forever” had been mounted over a doorway in the new workshop. “I used to have a workshop at home and I brought Jamie into the workshop,” said Hubley, who has long been a supporter of trade programs for young people, whether they are at risk or not.

New wooden planter boxes and Muskoka chairs placed in the sunlight on the grounds of the William E. Hay Centre appear to be the work of professional carpenters. Rather, they are evidence of what youth in conflict with the law can accomplish with the right mentors, tools, work environment and education. Inside the nearby standalone Tamarack Trades Training Centre, their talents have also taken shape in the form of a shed nearing completion. “That’s not a shed. It looks like a house,” one man said in admiration as more than 100 people toured the trades centre during its official opening Sept. 10. The 409-square-metre centre, which also includes a metal and small-engine repair shop, as well as a greenhouse full of plants, replaces a small woodworking shop inside the neighbouring 40-bed detention centre where male youth, ages 12 to 17, await trial or serve sentences. “When we look at this building we know that it represents far more than the bricks and mortar that you see here,” said Joanna Lowe, executive director of Youth Services Bureau of Ottawa, which runs the William E. Hay Centre. “It represents hope and opportunity for the young people that we see here at YSB and for those young people in our community.” Up to 300 detained youth a year will benefit from the new

Ottawa police acting Duty Insp. Mark Patterson, who cochaired the bureau’s fundraising campaign for the centre, considers it a long-term antigang initiative. Troubled youth will have the chance to better their education, learn a trade, learn to make better choices, become productive citizens and serve as positive role models to their siblings, who otherwise could end up in
gangs their older brothers have been in. “If they don’t get (a trade skill), what’s going to happen when they go back on to the street? They’re going to right back to doing the same business,” said Patterson, who was a troubled youth himself and went on to work in the Youth Services Bureau’s Livius Sherwood Detention and Custody Centre as a counsellor before becoming an officer. The positive domino effect of helping kids make better choices and giving them specialized training is a safer community, with less gang activity
and violence. “We’re hoping,” Patterson said. Construction of the $2.8million building was funded by Ontario’s Ministry of Children and Youth Services. Inside, the shop has been outfitted with $300,000 worth of materials and supplies, courtesy the bureau’s charitable foundation. The moment Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley learned of plans for the centre, he wanted to get involved, and went on to fundraise more than $100,000 for it. The day of the opening, Hubley and his wife Wendy were

“When you think of the possibilities of what they can do with their hands and create – the young people here (at William Hay) will learn so much, and that just means hope for a better future,” he said. The investment is about giving youth in conflict with the law the tools and hands-on experience needed to make positive changes in their lives and successfully transition back into society after they are released from custody. “Young people can and will change and the effort to help them do so is worthwhile,” said Ottawa South MPP John Fraser. “We want young people in custody to make good choices once they leave the centre,

giving them employable skills in a tangible way to help them down a better path.” In fact, many of the items the youth have been learning to build in the workshop will be donated back to the community. In addition to the shed, which will go to the Sherwood detention centre, the teens are already hard at work crafting skateboards destined for Smiths Falls. JoAnn Miller-Reid, Ontario’s assistant deputy minister of youth justice services, said the specialized programming will introduce young people to a variety of career options that are just not on their radar. “They haven’t had the opportunities in their lives to be exposed to those possibilities, and the exposure in a setting which is very supportive is really a message to them that people believe in their ability, that they have other options in their lives as they move forward,” she said. The potential for the centre, which took a year-and-a-half to build, has not yet been fully realized. While it is currently only available to in-custody youth, the Youth Services Bureau is hoping to one day make it available to youth out on probation and, in a third phase, open it to those at-risk in the community. “I only see bigger things for this program,” said Patterson. “Bring in youth-at-risk externally, bring in guys from gangs that we’ve identified to benefit from this, as opposed to just the 300 kids within the system here.”

SENS EXTRA Hometown Tour
Record turnout at Sens summer hockey camps
connects Sens with their fans adam.kveton@metroland.com
The Ottawa Senators are hoping their pre-season tour around eastern Ontario and western Quebec gets the team off to a good start this year after fostering a greater connection between players and fans. For the second year, a group of Senators took to the road to sign autographs and meet fans in 12 different communities, ranging from Gatineau to Kingston, and including locations in Gloucester, Nepean and Carleton Place. The free Hometown Tour events included interactive hockey-themed games such as mini stick, ball hockey matches and a shot speed and accuracy tester, in addition to autographs from Senators players for 200 fans per event. This year’s events were a hit with more than 5,000
people attending, and 10 of 12 locations dolling out all 200 signatures, said Aaron Robinson, the team’s director of fan and community development. “The reception we received in all of the markets that we went to with the players and the interactive games and such was tremendous and made us really realize the impact that the team has in the community and how much they are appreciated by the fans,” said Robinson. Some of the best moments for players and fans alike were when they took part in hockeythemed games, said Robinson, with players such as Kyle Turris and Patrick Wiercioch taking some time to participate in a ball hockey or mini stick game. Beyond playing with fans during the Hometown Tour, the Senators are looking to get even more involved in encour-

In mid-August, the Senators launched the Grow the Game minor hockey program, which is a response to minor hockey registration numbers remaining stagnant for several years. In an effort to change that, the team, along with Hockey Eastern Ontario and Hockey Outaouais, plan new programs that will provide less expensive and less time-consuming opportunities
for children to try hockey. One of the biggest new programs is called Learn to Play Hockey, and will feature 10 weeks of hockey instruction for $99, said Robinson. The introductory program is at the Richcraft Sensplex in east Gloucester. While the team hopes to expand its Grow the Game initiative in future years, Robinson said the team is reviewing their Hometown Tour events before committing to another year. “We’d love to do it again,” he said.

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

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

Father learns the value of the knife sharpening man MARY COOK Memories
F
ew buggies came in our long lane that caused more excitement for me than the one bringing the old man who came to sharpen our knives. Everything about him was different from any other visitor to our farm out in Northcote. You could hear him before you saw him. He had a rack attached to the dashboard of the buggy, and it held a row of bells, which he pounded, one after the other all the way in the lane and right into our yard. As soon as our old dog Sport heard the bells, he ran to the cow byre and hid in the hay. Mother said it was the old man’s way of letting us know he was coming, and gave her time to redd up the knives in the kitchen. Father thought paying good money for sharpening knives was a complete waste, since he could do just as good a job with the whit stone. “Can you cut a piece of paper with the knives you sharpened?” Mother would ask. For that, Father had no answer.
The old man steered the buggy right over to the watering trough so his horse could have a drink while he worked. He hopped down, went to the back of the buggy, and took out a small stand and a little stool, nodded in my direction and got right down to the business of sharpening knives. Mother had arrived at the spot with a kitchen tray, and every knife we owned. The contraption that did the work had a stone wheel, which sat in a little basin, and this he filled with water from the watering trough. A belt went from the wheel down to a wood pedal and once he sat on the three-legged stool and placed a foot on the pedal, he worked it up and down just like Mother did on the treadle Singer sewing machine. The wheel went at a great clip spitting out water in every direction. One after another the old man took a knife from the tray, held it to the stone, and stuff flew off the wheel, water spewed out from the basin, and before long the old man’s front was soaked to the skin. He stopped only long enough to get more water from the trough for the job at hand. He had a stump of a cigar in his mouth, and never once did I see him put a match to it. I was just as fascinated with the cigar as I was with the knife sharpener, because even though it wasn’t lit, it was obvious to me that he was
chewing it. Because every once in a while, he would let go with a spit that arched in the air and landed about four steps away. I marveled at such a talent for spitting, and watched as the stub of his cigar got smaller and smaller until there was nothing left but one final spit.
Father still questioned the wisdom of spending money on something he would easily do for nothing. That is until the day the old man picked up an old rusted and weather beaten axe leaning against the pump platform.
Why he didn’t sever off a finger was beyond me. He wore no gloves, but held the blade of the knife heavy against the whirling wheel, turning it often to do both sides. When he got it to his liking, he took a sheet of newspaper from the ground; obviously
there for just such a purpose, and with one fell-swoop, he sliced the paper with the newly sharpened knife. I was very impressed! Father still questioned the wisdom of spending money on something he would easily do for nothing. That is until the day the old man picked up an old rusted and weather beaten axe leaning against the pump platform. He put the handle over his shoulder, and pressed the blade of the axe hard against the spinning wheel. Within minutes it was as shiny as a night star, and took the paper-slicing job as easily as did the knives from the kitchen. Father wandered over from the barn. “Well, I’ll be darned,” he said. Mother paid the old man 10 cents for every knife he honed, and he told Father, “The axe is on the house,” whatever that meant. Never again did Father complain about the old man who came once or twice a year to sharpen our knives. In fact, he always made sure one of our axes, badly in need of a sharpening, was leaning against the pump platform in wait. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Maintenance projects added to cash-for-parks policy Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com
Despite Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper’s best efforts, the city will now let councillors use their ward accounts to renew and repair existing parks instead of create new ones. Each ward across the city has a cash-in-lieu account that gets filled up as developers build in their wards. While the city’s first choice is to have the developers install new parks to accommodate residential growth, sometimes that’s not always possible – particularly downtown, where there’s little room for new green space. In those cases, the builder can instead pay cash in lieu of parkland. Sixty per cent of the payment is given to the ward account, which the councillor controls. The other 40 per cent goes into a citywide account to fund larger projects like the Lansdowne redevelopment.
Until now, the cash-in-lieu money could only be used to expand or create new park facilities, not to repair or renew existing ones.
“We’re diverting money meant to mitigate development and growth, and instead using it to backstop repairs.” COUN. JEFF LEIPER
park in question was far down the waiting list for regular budgetary funding. That sparked a debate between councillors who believe strongly that repairs and maintenance should come from taxpayer dollars – Leiper, Somerset Coun. Catherine McKenney, Capital Coun. David Chernushenko and College Coun. Rick Chiarelli were among the most vocal – and those who wanted the flexibility to take care of repairs more efficiently if they so choose. LACK OF SUPPORT
But in a policy review earlier this spring, staff said adding this kind of lifecycle repair would give councillors the flexibility to more quickly address problems with aging infrastructure in their neighbourhoods – especially if the
Leiper said his downtown parks can barely support their existing communities, let alone the thousands of new residents who are moving into new condos and infill throughout his ward. “We’re diverting money meant to mitigate development and growth, and instead
using it to backstop repairs,” Leiper said. He argued that park maintenance is a “municipal necessity” that should be funded through the tax-supported budget. Chiarelli was less diplomatic. “Committee was sent out to buy some groceries and came back with a bag of magic beans,” Chiarelli said. “Cashin-lieu (payments) are a consolation prize. We require developers to give us parks … or to instead give us money so we can add to our inventory of parkland and park facilities. It was never meant to be a secondary source of our maintenance funds.” The concern is that staff will now have an excuse to strip down the city’s already meagre parks maintenance budget and tell councillors to use up their cash-in-lieu accounts for maintenance first. City treasurer Marian Simulik denied this possibil-
ity, noting that maintenance and renewal priorities are decided separately from cash-inlieu requests. “We would not build into the budget an assumption that a piece of work was going to be funded by the cash-in-lieu account in the ward,” Simulik said. Any lifecycle projects done through a ward’s development accounts would be a bonus, and would simply free up space on the waiting list to potentially get other projects done faster too, she added. Mayor Jim Watson supported adding lifecycle repairs to the policy, on the grounds that it gives councillors more choice. “It’s perfectly reasonable, and perfectly permissible under provincial law, to allow you that flexibility,” Watson told council on Sept. 9 before they voted on a motion from Leiper to remove repairs from the policy. “For those who do not support this,
the answer is simple: don’t use it for lifecycle. Just say to your community that, on principle, you won’t use it for that.” Leiper’s motion was defeated five to 18. Another motion from Rideau-Rockcliffe Coun. Tobi Nussbaum was deferred to the larger budget debate expected later this fall. Nussbaum wanted to change how two temporary park planners are paid from the cash-inlieu program. Right now every project over $100,000 skims 10 per cent of the project cost from the ward account toward the planners’ salaries. Nussbaum wanted their salaries to be instead taken out of the citywide account off the top every year, to make it more equitable between wards and to offer some predictability for staffing and budgeting. Staff have made it clear that the current staffing model is causing problems, because it’s hard to attract and retain talent with temporary positions.

Mark Monahan, the creative director of CityFolk, tours the new venue for the festival at Lansdowne Park on Sept. 14.
CityFolk festival prepares Lansdowne for ‘Van the Man’ Folk music festival expects more than 50,000 concert-goers Alex Robinson alex.robinson@metroland.com
As the final preparations for this year’s CityFolk were underway Sept. 14, organizers looked to quell any concerns the festival would disrupt its new neighbours. In addition to promising all outdoor concerts would be done by 10 p.m., the event’s creative director Mark Monahan said the festival has taken extra steps to mitigate noise levels. “We’re trying to put on a festival that’s going to excite people who want to come to the festival, but also work with the existing neighbourhood and the city to make sure it happens in a responsible way,” he told reporters during a tour of the festival’s new location at Lansdowne Park. “We’re trying to be respectful in terms of ending times.” Monahan said the festival has conducted sound testing and has positioned the main stage towards the football stadium in the hope it will absorb some sound. The festival is moving to Lansdowne Park this year after spending four years in Hog’s Back Park. Organizers said the new location was
chosen because of its proximity to downtown, better access to transit and improved infrastructure. “It’s a great location its accessible by public transit, but also its right along the canal so people can bike here,” Monahan said of the new site. Monahan said no extra buses will be brought in to accommodate concert-goers because of the staggered opening and closing of the festival, which kicked off Sept. 16. “It’s anticipated there should be enough transit and also a lot of people will come by walking, parking in the area, and hopefully by bike and public transit as well,” Monahan said. CityFolk staff buzzed around the festival’s three main areas in Lansdowne Park the morning of Sept. 14, erecting stages, fences and tents. The festival’s main stage will be outdoors on the Great Lawn, a green space behind the stadium. After the outdoor music ends at 10 p.m., the music will continue at other stages indoors at the Aberdeen Pavilion and the Horticulture Building until 1 a.m. The Aberdeen Pavilion will have free program-
ming with roughly 50 vendors, workshops and concerts. Monahan, who is part of the team that manages the Ottawa Bluesfest, started managing the folk festival in 2011 and has seen it grow in attendance every year since. Ticket sales have increased again this year, but Monahan said he did not think the festival would sell out. Organizers expect more than 50,000 will come to see this year’s “blockbuster lineup,” which is capped off by a performance by Van Morrison, who will take to the main stage Friday, Sept. 18. The festival started Sept. 16 with a performance by British reggae band UB40, followed by the Avett Brothers as headliners Sept. 17. Icelandic indie-folk band Of Monsters and Men headlines Sept. 19 and Chicago’s Wilco is the final headliner on Sept. 20. Despite the big name draws in this year’s line-up, Monahan said the festival still has plenty for diehard folk fans, including performances by the Barr Brothers, Lisa LeBlanc and Frank Fairfield.

The taxi labour dispute that spilled over onto the Airport Parkway on Sept. 8 forced the redeployment of Ottawa police traffic officers who had been stationed in school zones during the first day of classes for thousands of students.

A number of Ottawa police traffic officers had to be redeployed from manning school zones to managing a taxi cab protest that shut down a section of the Airport Parkway on Sept. 8, the first day back to school for thousands of children. “Our traffic officers who are reassigned to deal with that (protest) for the public safety (are) also the ones doing the traffic enforcement at school zones. So it’s redeploying resources,” said Const. Chuck Benoit, Ottawa police spokesman. “And we’re already busy enough on the road with our regular patrol taking regular calls.” Asked whether there are enough resources to go around amid the protesting cab drivers, Benoit said “there’s always going to be a need for more.” Upset boiled over on the parkway near Uplands Drive as the airport taxi labour dispute entered its fourth week on Sept. 8. The drivers have taken their protest to a number of places in the city, including the parkway, to protest being locked out of the airport after refusing to pay a $5-per-passenger fee to taxi dispatch company, Coventry Connections, and the Ottawa International Airport Authority. But the recent protest measure marked the first time the drivers walked onto the parkway itself, completely stopping the flow of traffic. Police stepped in to monitor their actions and reroute motorists. The demonstration turned ugly, and police announced Sept. 9 they are now investigating reports of vandalism.
“Any acts of violence will be fully investigated and prosecuted,” a police statement reads. “The OPS has been monitoring the airport taxi labour dispute since it began to ensure public safety and road access while balancing the right to demonstrate.” Anyone with information on the vandalism is asked to call police at 613-236-1222, ext. 3566. SCHOOL ZONE RESULTS
Though some traffic officers were unable to spend as much time in school zones as they had hoped, the two-day enforcement blitz on Sept. 8 and 9 resulted in 142 tickets. Police, including school resource and patrol officers, zeroed in on speeders, as well as motorists who failed to stop at stop signs and who did not yield to pedestrians at school crossings, as well as those who didn’t obey crossing guards or school bus signs and incidents of distracted driving. “It is a high number and it is concerning where schools are impacted, where kids are walking around,” Benoit said, adding that motorists should know better by now. “But they … kind of tunnel vision their days and they don’t think about the start of school.” Officers also gave verbal warnings to some motorists. “Maybe some people, they were borderline, like five kilometres over,” said Benoit. “So they were educated.” But the 40-kilometre-per-hour school zones are in place for everyone’s safety. “It’s the breaking distance, the amount of people who are on the street,” he said. “Speed zones – they’re all studied for a reason.”

Does this illness limit your activities? I can’t participate in gym class at school and I can’t play soccer but I have other activities that I am dedicated to. I have sailing, horseback riding and skiing. I won’t stop moving because I have arthritis.
What do you say to other kids when they ask why you can’t participate at school? I just explain that I have a medical condition. Sometimes bad things happen to people that means they can’t do everything but I can do other activities, so it’s okay.
What do you want to be when you grow up? I’ve been inspired by my time at CHEO so I’d like to be a doctor. It would be wonderful to take care of people less fortunate than me. If my arthritis isn’t too bad I would very much like to make other people feel better.
Why should people support the Dream of a Lifetime Lottery? So kids can have a brighter future. They should be able to fulfill their dreams and shouldn’t be stopped because they have a medical condition.

The temporary Hurdman Station relocation caused hour long traffic delays for bus passengers the morning of Sept. 8.
Hurdman Station chaos leads to more changes Lucy Scholey
Metro Ottawa
Ottawa bus passengers frustrated with the morning commute at Hurdman Station on Sept. 8 had a smoother rush hour ride back home. OC Transpo sent special constables to the scene to direct traffic and reopened a temporary road to help ease the traffic issues from that morning. Photos of the area posted to social media showed a long line of bumper-to-bumper buses snaking along the transitway. On Twitter, many angry commuters said they were late to work or school by 30 to 60 minutes. By the afternoon, several Twitter reports said the buses were running smoothly. John Manconi, the general manager of transit services, attributed the morning delays
to a new configuration of Hurdman Station, which moved slightly to the east for the OTrain Confederation Line construction. “The existing station and platforms need to be demolished to make way for the new station currently under construction,” he said in an email. “The timing and implementation is linked to the construction plans needed to deliver the LRT project.” OC Transpo staff worked with the Rail Implementation Office and traffic management to review the traffic flow and pedestrian movements. They are further reviewing the plan to see what went wrong, he said. It could be that bus drivers have new yield procedures, stop locations and maneuvers to navigate through the temporary Hurdman Station. Hurdman Station was shifted on Sept. 6 and there were no major problems over the Labour Day weekend, he said.

Gather your furry friends and get ready for a Paws Up Celebration. West Carleton’s Pet Resource Bank Ottawa and Kanata’s Pet Valu are hosting the inaugural celebration of animals and community to raise awareness of pet charities and resources available throughout the City of Ottawa on Sept. 19. “It’s going to be a big event,” said Tanya Dennee, co-founder of Pet Resource Bank. “We hope there will be lots of people who decide to get involved, get motivated and want to jump on the bandwagon.” There will be nail trims, face painters and lots of homemade treats and swag available at the event, while vendors from Valley Animal Rescue, Dames Saving Danes Canada, Kanine Kerchiefs, Happy Tails Pet Care, PetSafe Ottawa, PAWS and Pilots ‘n’ Paws Canada, Empties for Paws and Big D’s Dog House & Poutine Emporium will be present to offer information on their services. “What we’re trying to do is create a big ‘let’s work together community’ to really bring all these people who love and care about animals and people and bring some awareness to it,” said Dennee. “Hopefully we’ll generate some talk, get some more people involved. The more we can talk about it the better off we’ll all be.” The event takes place Sept. 19 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Pet Valu, located at 854 March Rd. in Kanata.

Giving a face to the crisis
A
nyone who’s worked in news media knows how fickle the news cycle can be. One day we’re talking about a natural disaster in Southeast Asia; the next day a Kardashian takes a selfie with a poodle and we forget about what seem to be remote corners of the world. Earlier this month, many of us awoke to images on our social media feeds and in our newspapers of a drowned toddler on the beaches of Turkey. The story – details of which were decently muddled by media outlets around the world – is essentially one of a family desperate to escape the horrors of a Syrian refugee camp into Europe. They only had to cross a five-kilometre channel, but their smugglers and their life jackets failed them. Regardless of the details, no decent human being could ig-

Capital Muse nore the image of this drowned child. One friend, a former journalist and father of a toddler, said it was the first time he had to slap a Post-it note over a news image to attempt to forget, but that “the picture would be emblazoned in his memory forever.” Some on the cynical side asked people not to continually repost the photo because it hurt their sensibilities and they were incapable of doing anything about it anyway. There were those who criticized the outpouring of emotion over the photo, accusing people of waking up suddenly to a single crisis among many worldwide,
and one that’s been growing for a decade. Still others said the photo would circulate for a few days and everyone would move on to Kardashian-watching. At the time, I made a different argument: “Everyone who posts this disturbing image is doing something to help the cause. Just by sharing and giving people a human connection to this otherwise remote crisis will compel people to act, which will, in turn, compel governments to act.” I was quickly shut down by cynics on that particular Facebook thread. But then something happened, something that affected me and others as much as the image of the drowned toddler: Germany announced it would take in 10,000 refugees within two days. As the first wave of 5,000 arrived on Saturday, Germans from across the
What we forget too easily, as many of us watch our big-screen televisions, drive our sedans or send messages on iPhones, is that many of these refugee families have, until now, lived just like us. The ones that arrived in Germany had nice clothes, expensive smartphones and leather shoes. Until recently, they lived, relative to the world, a middle class existence. country arrived in the southern city of Munich – near the border – with clothing, food and water. They held signs that said Refugees Welcome, in English. They cheered the exhausted migrants, gave the children chocolate.

Hi, my name is Ruby and I am 2 yrs. old. I am a rescue and have been in my forever home for a year now and am loving life. I thoroughly enjoy my daily walks, lounging by the window in one of my many beds, and any toy that has the loudest squeak. I am incredibly sweet, comical and loving, but most of all, I am so loved here.

shoes. Until recently, they lived, relative to the world, a middle class existence. To the credit of individual Canadians, many did not immediately disconnect from this crisis, which has been brought so poignantly to our attention. People began raising money for aid organizations working on the ground; families in neighbourhoods across the country got together to talk about how to sponsor a Syrian family and bring them to Canada. Retired politicians of all political stripes, former mili-
tary generals and aid workers highlighted Canada’s historical moments as a country of refuge. In 1979, for example, Canada acted swiftly to bring 50,000 refugees from Vietnam who had been displaced by the war there and the spread of Communism in the region. A Sept. 4 Globe and Mail editorial summed it up well: “The Talmud says that whoever saves a life saves the entire world. The Quran says the same: Whoso gives life to a soul, it shall be as if he had given life to mankind altogether. Canada cannot accept all the world’s refugees. But we can take many. And if we save one life, and then another, we save the world.” Canadians are a generous people and many have expressed a desire to help. An individual may be helpless, but many individuals together are a force. The more who take the time to share a photo, keep the story of refugees in the fickle news cycle, the more likely we will see the political will for Canada to take action on a large scale.

This week’s puzzle answers in next week’s issue
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, explore a new way of thinking and keep an open mind. Maintain energy and enthusiasm about a new project. Your energy will inspire others to get moving. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 You may need to get a little pushy to get what you need, Taurus. Don’t overdo it, but don’t hesitate to insert yourself into certain situations this week. GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 This is a good week to share your positive thoughts and hopes with others. It’s advantageous to have as many people on your side as you can. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, you have many things to do in the coming days, but you can still manage to have fun along the way. Schedule some rest and rejuvenation once the week has passed. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 If you learn something new this week, it very well may be something important, Leo. Stay attuned to the things going on around you, so you know when to act. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Getting your point across will be difficult this week, Virgo. Take a patient approach and give others the time to explain their points of view before sharing your own.
LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 You are still in love with that special someone after all of these years, Libra. Share your good fortune with others and you may inspire some new relationships in the process. SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, it may be difficult to avoid conflict this week, but do your best to smooth over the situation. Try not to escalate any encounters and add fuel to the fire. SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, give something frivolous a try this week. You may find it takes your mind off of other things and restores some of your natural joviality. CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, someone is proud of all you have accomplished. Don’t feel badly about bragging a little about the things you have done. It’s good to also be proud of yourself. AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, your generosity knows no bounds this week. All that you do unselfishly will come back in spades. Keep up your charitable efforts. PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, if things seem a little bit confusing this week, take some time to sit and reflect. The answers will come to you eventually. 0917

There is no registration fee and the weekly bowling fee is $15.00. Bowling takes place Sept. 1 to mid-May, from 1 to 3 p.m. Participants are place on mixed four-person teams. Whether you have not bowled before or if you have bowled you are welcome. To register, email royhoban@rogers.com.
