Breaking the chain of repeat offences Ottawa South News Staff

This week the Ottawa South News presents the first of a four-part series about recidivism and efforts to curb the rate of criminal reoffences in Ontario. Over the next month, we will explore issues such as the treatment of offenders with mental-health problems and at-risk support for sex offenders. In part one, reporters Brier Dodge and Jennifer

McIntosh spoke with offenders who have been in and out of the provincial and federal jail systems, as well as corrections officers at the Ottawa-Carleton Detention Centre. The feature examines how the government’s tough-on-crime legislation has put a strain on provincial and federal jails, which struggle to provide rehabilitative programs to inmates. See REHAB, pages 12 and 13.

Man’s body recovered in Riverside South Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News - A deceased man in his 50s was recently pulled from the Rideau River in Riverside South.

Ottawa police and paramedics were called to the 100-block of Riversedge Crescent on Sept. 7 around 11 a.m. “He was found in the river by somebody who alerted some boat-

ers and they came over and took him out of the water and took him to shore,� said J.P. Trottier, spokesman for the Ottawa paramedic service “Paramedics arrived and shortly

thereafter declared him deceased.� An autopsy was scheduled to determine cause of death, and whether he did in fact drown. “That’s something that the autopsy will find out,� said Trottier.

He added the post-mortem examination was expected to help determine, “Did he actually die of drowning or did he die of a heart attack in the water or did he die of a stroke when he was in the water, or seizures.� Ottawa police east district officers have been leading the investigation, but police have declined to comment on the case.

News - Dreams of a new ice pad and recreational complex in Greely have turned out to be just that. Power Play Sports president Alain Landriault said he cancelled an agreement to purchase a 2.4-hectare parcel of land from Sunset Lakes developer Dan Anderson and turn it into a sports complex after planning delays took the contract past its deadline. “The terms in the agreement were about an eight-month window,� Landriault said. “The dates had come and gone and I was willing to sit it out a bit longer, but it never materialized.� The two developers agreed last September that Anderson would sell Landriault the parcel at the corner of Parkway Road and Bank Street to build a private recreational complex incorporating a twin-pad arena, an indoor soccer/ultimate Frisbee field, a fitness facility as well as office space, classrooms and a restaurant. Landriault said he hasn’t ruled out building the complex in the future, but he wasn’t willing to sit on the stalled agreement. “As a corporation I needed to make a decision whether I sit on this indefinitely or move on to other projects for now,� he said. The agreement stipulated that Landriault wouldn’t buy the arena land until Anderson had completed his rezoning process for the entire 16-hectare campus, which is deemed Greely’s village centre. Anderson wants to change the

site from entirely commercial to a mix of commercial and residential uses – a decision he made last fall when the city approved zoning for a large commercial development at Mitch Owens Road and Bank planned by a company called the Otis Group. “When the Otis proposal went through, it basically took the anchor, the grocery store, and we had to make a decision whether to fight their application or adapt,� Anderson said. “So we elected to do a redesign.� At the time, Anderson decided to add 65 small bungalows along the man-made lake in Water’s Edge while locating about half the originally planned commercial development along Bank. At the same time, he moved the recreational facility lands from the south end of the complex to the busier northern corner. But Anderson said he won’t submit the necessary applications until the city agrees in principal to support his plan. “We just didn’t want to be sent on a wild goose chase,� he said. Landriault said he would like to revisit his proposal in Greely if Anderson is able to uphold his planning requirements to make the sale. “I told him, ‘Let’s just terminate the agreement for now and then once you’ve gotten your things sorted out we’ll start from square one,’� Landriault said. The investor has already entered into a new conditional land agreement in McNab-Braeside west of Ottawa to build a similar recreational complex, but Landriault said that doesn’t mean Greely will be left behind. “My investment firm can handle the two projects, so if and when Greely comes back in the picture then I can handle the two, for sure,� he said. “It’s not an and/or, it’s a when/if.�

Candidate promotes pathways along Rideau River Connecting green spaces could boost tourism: Jason Kelly Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - A Gloucester-South Nepean candidate is promoting the idea of creating a plan to link local green spaces with new pathways. Jason Kelly, chairman of the

Rideau Valley Conservation Authority Foundation board, is promoting the idea of creating an “H�-shaped pedestrian network on either side of the Rideau River, with the newly opened StrandherdArmstrong bridge connecting the two sides.

Kelly is referring to the concept as the “Heart of the Rideau,� due to the “H� shape. It could link Claudette Cain Park, Beryl Gaffney Park, Chapman Mills Conservation Area, Baroness Park and Jock River Landing. “We’ve got all these great facilities, but they are islands on their own,� Kelly said. To make it happen, Kelly said he

would call on the city and the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority to create a joint, 10-year master plan to expand the pathways. He would also seek private-sector funding to partner on improvements such as benches, lookouts, picnic tables and signs. Improving the pedestrian network in the area could boost tourism, Kelly said, so he would work

Excavation equipment intentionally torched: police

with local businesses to capitalize on those opportunities. Through his involvement with the conservation authority foundation, Kelly said he helped deliver the Chapman Mills Conservation Area footbridge connecting Riverside South to Barrhaven. Kelly is one of seven candidates vying to replace Coun. Steve Desroches, who is not seeking re-election. The other candidates are: Kevin Fulsom, Scott Hodge, Michael Qaqish, Bader Rashed, Roger Scharfe and Susan Sherring.

The Ottawa police robbery unit had some help from two bystanders in solving two bank robberies last week. Investigators have charged an Ottawa woman in connection with the crimes.

Customers help nab suspected bank robber Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News - Two quick-thinking customers are being credited with helping Ottawa police apprehend a suspected bank robber last week. They sprang into action after a female suspect, carrying an undisclosed quantity of cash, ed a bank branch in the 1500-block of Bank Street near Heron Road on Sept. 10 around 9:30 a.m. One phoned police and remained on the line with an emergency dispatcher as the customers discreetly followed the woman from a distance as she headed south along Bank Street. Thanks to their efforts, two responding patrol ofďŹ cers were able to quickly locate and arrest the suspect inside a fast-food restaurant without incident. “They didn’t interact with her. They kind of held their distance,â€? Staff Sgt. Michael Haarbosch, head of the police robbery unit, said in commending the bystanders. “It’s great work by them.â€? Investigators say their suspect is also allegedly responsible for another

bank robbery that happened in South Keys less than 24 hours before. In that case, on Sept. 9 at 10:30 a.m., a lone woman went into a bank branch in the 2200-block of Bank Street. She walked up to the teller and handed over a note, which indicated she was armed, though no weapon was seen. The woman was given an undisclosed amount of money and then ed. No one was injured in either robbery. Haarbosch credited the bystanders for potentially nipping a crime spree in the bud. “I’m glad we caught (the suspect) at the time of the second one, because who’s to say we wouldn’t have had another (robbery) the following day, or even the same day,â€? he said. A 43-year-old Ottawa woman has been charged with two counts of robbery and two counts of wearing a disguise. She was scheduled to appear in court on Sept. 11. Anyone with information on these robberies is asked to call the Ottawa police robbery unit at 613-236-1222, ext. 5116, or Crime Stoppers at 613233-8477. R0012887859/0918

OTTAWA POLICE SERVICE

Investigators are urging anyone who knows the identity of this man to contact them in connection with a case in which an elderly Ottawa man was defrauded of an undisclosed amount of money on Aug. 7. Police say the man is a person of interest in their case.

Senior citizen falls prey to scam Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News - An elderly Ottawa man who was driven to a bank to make a cash withdrawal is the victim of fraud, according to Ottawa police, who are now looking for a person of interest in connection with the case. The senior was allegedly scammed of an undisclosed amount of money on Aug. 7 after he received a call and was told his grandson was in trouble and needed money. He was then driven the same day to a bank where he withdrew cash from his bank account. A bank employee alerted police to the incident after suspicions were raised for a number of reasons, including the amount of money that was taken out of the account. “They felt something was fishy,” said Ottawa police spokesman Const. Marc Soucy.

Police are not disclosing the amount withdrawn, or in which part of Ottawa the incident took place. In images captured by video surveillance cameras at the bank branch, a frail-looking senior, whose identity is obscured, can be seen sitting at a kiosk. Beside him sits a man wearing a dress shirt and slacks, looking around the room. Police are not alleging the individual who accompanied the elderly man is the granny scammer, but he is considered a person of interest in the investigation. “A person of interest has not been identified as a suspect. It’s somebody we need to talk to,” said Soucy. Anyone who recognizes the man is urged to contact the Ottawa police fraud section by calling Det. Martin Cardinal at 613-236-1222, ext. 5781, or Crime Stoppers at 613-233-8477.

An Ottawa police officer walks outside the front of Charles H. Hulse public school after the all-clear was given following an unsucessful hunt for a possible gunman on Sept. 11. Four schools in the Alta Vista area were placed in secure mode while tactical and canine officers combed the area. ued as usual inside the schools – were St. Patrick’s Intermediate School, Ridgemont High School, St. Patrick’s Catholic High School and Charles H. Hulse. This is the second incident in three months in which po-

lice have received a report of a gun-toting suspect behind Charles H. Hulse Public School. Four Alta Vista public schools were locked down and four nearby Catholic schools were placed in secure mode

on June 19, after a man was spotted carrying a gun behind Charles H. Hulse. Medeiros said he was aware of the previous incident, but said he does not know if there is any connection between the two sightings.

Four schools in Alta Vista were placed in secure mode after students reported seeing a person with a gun on Sept. 11 at around 11 a.m. near Charles H. Hulse Public School on Alta Vista Drive. Ottawa police, including tactical, canine and patrol officers, searched the bushes east of Charles H. Hulse Public School, between Heron and Walkley roads, but no suspect was found. “We called in our canine officer and our tactical units to do a sweep of the bush area, and we’ve concluded that now there is nobody in there, and so the school is going back to normal operations,” Insp.

Police reported that three children said they saw someone with a silver handgun. “Investigators will get to the bottom of what transpired and will determine what the next steps will be,” said Medeiros. Police reported that secure mode at the schools was lifted around 1 p.m., however students and teachers were denied entrance or exit to the schools in the area until about 1:50 p.m. The four schools placed in secure mode – where doors are locked but classes contin-

Cycling with caution

T

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

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

Becoming alarmed by the silence

A

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

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

bear out this last point. It’s intriguing what you can find out just looking for a couple of facts about car alarms. What you find out, courtesy of The Economist, is that crime has been in a steady decline all around the world since the 1950s, and nowhere is this more evident than in the area of automobile theft. In New York, the annual number of car thefts has dropped by 93 per cent over the past 20 years. In England and Wales, 400,000 cars were reported stolen in 1997; in 2012, the number was just 86,000. Who says there’s no good news in the paper? Certain questions remain. Can we really believe that the welcome silence in our neighbourhoods is solely due to a world-wide trend away from grand theft auto? What about the well-grounded suspicion that most car alarms are set off by law-abiding people doing something silly with their car keys? EDITORIAL MANAGING EDITOR: 4HERESA &RITZ

Adulthood postponed

A

t what point can we consider one mature enough to be called an adult? It used to be simply an age factor. At 18, you can vote and many move away from home to go to university or into the workforce, so I used to think that’s when it began. But there’s nothing like witnessing the experiences of the latest group of 18-year-olds just starting their first year of college and university to help one realize that adulthood is definitely more than just a number these days. And it’s very likely much higher than 18 for many in our midst. Labour Day Weekend, a friend saw her son off to college residence. “Despite the number of emails we received from the college, most parents are all frazzled and don’t know where to park,” she wrote. “The poor kids.” The poor kids? “Maybe the kids, who are actually adults, can comfort their frazzled parents,” I quipped back. But a few days later, I sat in on a first-year psychology lecture at a university and I realized perhaps it was a misnomer to call these

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse 18-year-old kids adults. It was the orientation. There must have been 150 students in the lecture hall. The professor very slowly and carefully walked them step-by-step through the syllabus over ninety minutes. A big yawn, right? Pretty much, except for the comments from the first years when they realized they’d have to read 50 entire pages of a textbook over in order to succeed in the course. “Oh my goodness,” said one. “That’s so much work!” “Fifty pages,” said another. “How will we find time for that?” And then she posted it on Facebook for mobile. With their first multiple choice exam scheduled three weeks hence, I can just imagine how many phone calls from parents the professor can expect to receive, demand-

ing a delay or even a rewrite after the fact. The reality is that many parents today are not setting their kids up for the level of responsibility and discipline required to succeed in post-secondary institutions. But the institutions aren’t stupid. They know kids have changed. They know parents are taking on a greater role in their child’s education. Rather than let students fail, the institutions have spent a lot of money to find creative ways to nurture the relationship with parents. When I started out in university, I moved myself into residence. As far as I know, in those days (late 1990s), universities didn’t directly communicate with parents. Certainly, they didn’t communicate with mine. I received a letter of acceptance in my own name and all the follow-up information posted directly to me. While studying, my relationships with professors reflected that of one adult to another. If I got a grade I didn’t like, I had to suck it up or try to find ways to improve next time. Talk to anyone in administration or faculty at a post-secondary institution today, however, and you’ll realize that colleges and

universities are not only marketing to parents – as well as prospective students – from the outset, but that they’ve also found ways to stay in constant communication with parents over the course of the student’s academic life. This includes parent-only web portals, invitations to special events, and in some cases regular emails between professors and parents about a student’s progress. Parents think they’re doing their adult children a favour, that they’re supporting them by fighting with professors for extra credit opportunities or arranging to have alternative exam times. But many of these “kids” graduate from university with the same sense of entitlement they had at the beginning, when they start their first career jobs. It’s not unheard of for managers to get disgruntled calls from the parents of twenty-somethings to complain about how their child is being treated at the office. I’m not sure what that means for the future workforce. Time will tell. But instinct tells me that maybe, just maybe, parents should consider 18 a good time to start severing the umbilical cord.

Gunman remains on the loose in wake of Ottawa’s 30th shooting City’s annual shootings set to climb above last year’s total Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News - A man who shot a single round in the Riverview neighbourhood of south Ottawa last week in a case investigators are describing as a close call is still on the loose. Police are continuing to go over evidence and eyewitness reports after a male suspect FILE fired one .25-calibre round on The Ottawa police guns and gangs unit is investigating a number of motives that could Monday, Sept. 8 at 9:24 p.m., explain why an unidentified man fired a single shot in the vicinity of a woman on Sept. 8 near a woman who was outside in the Riverview neighbourhood, and whether she was the intended target. her home in the 1400-block of Station Boulevard. No one was injured in the city’s 30th shooting of the year. “She was the victim and she was caught in the incident,” said acting Staff Sgt. Kenny Bryden, head of the Ottawa police guns and gangs section, which is leading the investigation. “Was it a close call? Yes, the suspected shooter was not a far distance from her.” The woman’s children were not outside with her at the time. The shooting was targeted, said Bryden. But it’s still too soon in the investigation to determine if the woman was the intended target, he said, adding it’s possible the bullet was meant for someone else or another house in the area, or perhaps fired as a warning shot. Police are following up on several theories, including the possibility it may have been a domestic incident. “We are definitely looking at that angle or that motive, but in all of these cases

we have to look at every possible angle,” said Bryden, who is not ruling anything out. “We’ve got two or three pretty solid motives.” While police have not identified a suspect, they do have a very vague description of the shooter, who Bryden said is a black male, and approximately five-foot-four. Police were unable to find the bullet entry zone at the scene, but they did recover one used bullet casing as well as an unspent casing. A weapon was not recovered. “We suspect that the firearm that was used was obviously a small pistol of some sort, being a .25 calibre,” Bryden said. Investigators will continue to canvas the neighbourhood and follow-up with people who have come forward with information on the recent shooting. “For the most part we’re receiving information from confidential sources, for example, Crime Stoppers, and we’re continually trying to leverage that (information), that we make sure we’re going in the right direction, (and that) the motives that we do have we corroborate one or the other, depending on which one is more compelling,” Bryden said. But more eyewitnesses are encouraged to speak with police to help solve the crime. “In a lot of these cases I feel the same way, that there’s a lot more people than we really know that know something,” Bryden said. “No matter how minute or small it might be they know something, and for various reasons choose not to come through with it. “That’s a challenge.” Anyone with information on the shooting is asked to call the Ottawa police guns and gangs

section at 613-236-1222, ext. 5050, or make an anonymous call to Crime Stoppers at 613233-8477. SHOOTINGS ON THE RISE

Ottawa is set to surpass last year’s number of shootings, which stood at 30. Still, the guns and gangs unit isn’t planning to change its strategy to curb gun violence. “But what we do need to do is to continue to make sure that we’re – even more than we already do – dotting those Is and crossing those Ts and controlling the factors that we can control now, and to ensure that we don’t get an increase in that number,” said Bryden. “We’re going to continue with the enforcement strategy that we have and that’s directed patrols, comprehensive investigations, DART doing compliance and supervision checks. Officers in the unit’s Direct Action Response Team monitor guns and gang activity, provide a highly visible police presence and monitor and enforce high-risk street gang members, among other roles. Investigators have so far this year made nine arrests in connection with shootings or gun violence. Police made several arrests in July after shots were fired between two vehicles near Bank Street and Heron Road. And more recently, on Aug. 31, an Ottawa man was arrested after reports of gunshots in the 500-block of Chapel Crescent in Sandy Hill, near the University of Ottawa campus. Police say they recovered a 9mm semiautomatic Glock handgun in the incident.

Carefor team ‘dares to care’ Ottawa South News Staff

News - Every step counted, just as every dollar raised will make a difference. Fifty volunteers and 30 participants with the Carefor Health & Community Services team, who wore their ‘dare to care’ T-shirts, raised more than $24,000 through The Canadian multi-sport day on Aug. 30 at Mooney’s Bay Park. “Thanks to the support of Carefor’s sponsors, runners, and walkers, a financial barrier to accessing high-quality respite care was removed,� Carefor fundraising specialist Beth Monaco said in a statement. “The money raised will help seniors living with Alzheimer’s or a related dementia access Carefor’s adult day programs and Guest House or for any senior to access a mental-health support group called the Let’s Get Together Club.�

Carefor has been an official charity of the event, organized by Somersault, for the past five years. The team generated more much-needed funds than ever before during their participation in the annual walk and run. Proceeds will help subsidize seniors’ programming. “The point of doing this fundraising event is to make more people aware of these great programs and more importantly to show how much we need these programs,� Debbie Flavell of Create and Renovate, one of 15 businesses that sponsored the Carefor team, said in a statement. “Personally, I will never forget what Carefor has done for my father in the past and I praise the work they do to help the senior community.� For details, or to participate or FILE volunteer with Carefor or to donate, visit carefor.ca or call Beth Staff at Ottawa-based Carefor Health & Community Services Donna Deknatel, left, Haley Chapman, Cheryl Monaco at 613-749-7557, ext.

JAIL BREAK

Metroland East Special Report

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

T

he first time Dan Parlow went to jail, he was 16 years old. “I was a boy, going to a man’s prison,” said Parlow, who was convicted of robbery and served time at the Guelph Correctional Institute. Instead of being rehabilitated, Parlow said he felt like he was sent to a university of crime. Over the last three decades, Parlow, 49, has served time at four federal penitentiaries, provincial jails, and has stayed at several halfway houses. “A lot of it was robbery or assaultrelated – some firearms stuff,” he said. But he said some of the circumstances in his early life led him down that path. Parlow, originally from Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., said he grew up in a tumultuous home environment. His father left when he was five years old, leaving the kids with his alcoholic mother. Parlow said he was physically, emotionally and sexually abused both in the home and after he entered the foster-care system. He committed robbery at the age of 16 after leaving foster care and finding himself homeless. “All these things were precursors to the life I would lead later,” he said. He started using substances to help him cope: first alcohol, and eventually heroin. Once an offender enters the system, the first conviction will often echo through the rest of their life. Parlow has been out of jail on his statutory release since July 2013 – his longest stretch of parole in a long time. He currently lives at the Ottawa Mission and is participating in its Lifehouse drug-treatment program and is studying criminology at Car12

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

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

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

Over the past decade, Ontario pris-

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

CHEO lottery on the road to Vancouver Grey Cup Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

News - The Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario is taking its 24th-annual lottery on the road. This year’s Dream of a Lifetime lottery campaign will start handing out prizes right off the mark as it prepares to send 200 winners to an Ottawa RedBlacks home game against Toronto and one lucky winner to the Grey Cup game in Vancouver at the end of November. But there’s a catch: to win, customers must buy their $100 Dream of a Lifetime lottery ticket before midnight on Sept. 26, at which point they’ll be eligible for the RedBlacks ticket draws as well as the Grey Cup draw. The 200 RedBlacks prize packs include two RedBlacks jerseys and tickets to the team’s final home game on Nov. 7. The grand prize includes two Grey Cup tickets, airfare for two to Vancouver and three nights at the Renaissance Vancouver Harbourside Hotel. For the second year in a row, the CHEO Foundation has partnered with Minto to build its fully-furnished dream home in the Mahogany development south of Manotick.

EMMA JACKSON/METROLAND

Wendover teen Brad Laviolette, middle, is lucky to have the support of his parents Manon and Rob after he had both legs severed in a tubing accident last August. Laviolette has been a ‘frequent flyer’ patient at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario since his accident, and credits CHEO doctors for saving his legs. This year’s grand prize includes the immaculately furnished 483-squaremetre-home, a 2015 Cadillac ATS Luxury, house cleaning for a year, $5,000 in groceries and $100,000 cash. At the Dream Home grand opening on Sept. 15, foundation president Kevin Keohane was quick to thank ticket buyers for supporting the pedi-

atric hospital located on Smyth Road in Ottawa. “The priority in all of this is making dreams come true for CHEO’s kids, and then after that there’s the possibility that you could win this dream home,” Keohane said. He said the lottery campaign has netted $42.5 million in profits since it began in 1991, and last year’s lottery

But it wasn’t an easy road for Laviolette. He had multiple surgeries, and developed an infection in his bone that required six months of antibiotics. “I was pretty scared,” Laviolette said. “I thought I would lose my legs, but CHEO basically saved them.” CHEO has become his second home, Laviolette said, and his nurses and doctors have become a second family. Today, Laviolette still pays weekly visits to the hospital, in which he is considered a “frequent flyer” patient, according to child life specialist Heather Crawford. She worked with Laviolette to find a way forward. “Bradley is himself a very resilient individual,” Crawford said. She said his willingness to share his story helps create awareness about the hospital and what it does. The dream home is located at 536 Bridgeport Ave off Manotick Main Street. The home is open for tours from noon to 8 p.m. Monday to Friday, and from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekends and holidays. Tickets are on sale now at dreamofalifetime.ca for $100 for one or $250 for three. Early bird prizes will be drawn on Dec. 17 and the final draws will be made Jan. 6 and 7, 2015.

alone raised $2.8 million for the facility. The foundation raises about $14 million annually, Keohane said, and the lottery is a big part of making sure the hospital has the equipment, staff and knowledge it needs to deal with its 250,000 annual patient visits. Currently, donations are bankrolling $5 million in renovations for the hospital’s day surgery unit, a new MRI machine worth $3 million and ongoing in-house medical research. “There are so many things the dollars raised are going to (in order to) help improve the lives of kids in the region,” Keohane said. No one knows CHEO’s importance better than Wendover teen Brad Laviolette. The 17-year-old was tubing on the water with his family last August when he suddenly faced disaster. “I fell off the tube and my dad lost sight of me and I got stuck under the boat,” Laviolette told a captive audience at the dream home on Sept. 15. “The propeller severed both my legs.” He was airlifted to CHEO, where trauma surgeons worked to save his legs. In the end, he lost 80 per cent of his right quadricep muscle and required intensive physiotherapy to help him get back on his feet.

ed to do everything I could for them. “He’s such an extraordinary person,” the Manor Park resident said. “I just want to make sure he gets the best, and that his family is taken care of.” Proceeds from the inaugural fundraiser helped pay for Muzaliwa’s last month of rent at his Alta Vista apartment, and to help move his belongings back to his family’s home in Greely. But it will be some time before he is able to leave the hospital, though he has been beating the odds so far. For the first 10 days following the

accident, the 27-year-old remained in critical condition. His brain was so badly swollen doctors had to remove part of his skull to allow it to swell and retract, Niles said. It was at this point, doctors gave David’s family the option of taking him off medical support, his condition was so grave. “They gave him a five-per-cent chance of recovery,” she said. “I was heartbroken. I could not eat or sleep for three days. I could not

grasp the concept. With my staff, I treat them like family, and we have such a connection. They’re like my brothers and sisters, and I wouldn’t wish anything like this upon them.” The family decided to opt for brain surgery, and following the operation on Aug. 28, Muzaliwa has improved. He opened his eyes, and now can move when given commands. And though his brain is still swollen, he is talking a little bit. See DOCTORS, page 16

R0012883629

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

With that in mind and knowing Muzaliwa helped his parents financially, Niles has stepped in to rally the community around the family. She organized a fundraiser on Aug. 29 at the Corner Bar & Grill in the Glebe, which generated $1,000. Another is planned for Sept. 20 at all three Corner Bar & Grills in the Glebe, Westboro and Orléans. “Knowing David, I knew every month he would set money aside for his family,” Niles said. “Who’s going to help him and his family?

News - Ottawa police say they have put a stop to a lengthy and costly crime spree with the arrest last week of a man they say would steal keys from key drops at automotive garages, steal customers’ vehicles and use these to drive to the next target on his list. An Ottawa man, who was arrested Sept. 10, is facing 38 counts in connection with 21 break and enters and 13 thefts of vehicles following a monthand-a-half-long investigation that began in mid-July. More than a dozen businesses, most of them automotive repair shops and dealerships along the Bank Street corridor in south Ottawa, were hit – some more than once on the same night. “For instance, we had a vehicle stolen from a Bank Street shop (after keys were taken from a key drop) and it was driven out to a shop in the west end, and captured on some video arriving,� said lead investigator Const. Jason Nadeau with the Ottawa police east break and enter unit. “The person comes out, fishes more keys out of that garage, leaves that car (which was) stolen from Bank Street, steals another one.� Surveillance video reveals the suspect then left for a couple of hours before bringing the vehicle back to the west-end dealership and took another automobile, Nadeau said.

Other businesses, such as retail communications stores and construction sites were also targeted. Electronics were pinched from a trailer at a construction site on Jockvale Road, and a model home in Kanata in a neighbourhood under construction was broken into and appliances were taken. The case initially proved difficult to crack due to either poor quality video or the absence of surveillance cameras. In some cases, surveillance footage systems were eventually installed or improved by businesses that were repeatedly victimized. “As soon as that happened it was the beginning of the end for him,� Nadeau said.

they were all starting to tell a tale,� he said. “The more it occurred, the more of a story it was telling because they were all dumped, just left on the side of the road, all in a certain area.� Many people mistakenly believe that a theft at a construction site is a victimless crime, said Nadeau. “In terms of the construction sites alone people think, ‘Oh, whatever, it’s a construction site,’� he said. “You and I both pay exorbitant amounts to buy a house because the builders all build costs in for loss.� A 26-year-old Ottawa man, previously known to police, faces 20 counts of break and enter and committing an indictable offence, one count of break and enter with intent to commit an indictable offence, 13 counts of theft of motor vehicles, as well as four counts of possession of stolen property. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Ottawa police service east break and enter unit by calling 613-2361222, ext. 3343, or call Crime Stoppers at 613-233-8477.

Police seek witnesses, help tracking deceased’s property Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News - Police have taken the unusual step of asking witnesses to come forward and requesting the public’s help in tracking down personal items belonging to a woman whose remains were discovered in the Rideau River late last month. Ottawa police major crime investigators took over the investigation and at the outset were treating the death as suspicious. They are continuing to lead the case, though an autopsy has ruled out foul play. But they are still looking to piece together the whereabouts of the 31year-old woman before she died. Her identity is not being released by police at the request of the family. The woman’s unclothed remains were spotted by a passerby in the river between Vincent Massey Park and Carleton University near the O-Train bridge just before 11 a.m. on Aug. 26. “Major crime is still handling (the case) because they had initial carriage of the file, so they’re just going to continue with it,� said Ottawa police spokesman Const. Marc Soucy. “Whenever there’s a death that they investigate, it’s common to try to determine what the person was doing before they died, so this is not out of the ordinary what they’re doing. “What’s not common is us going out with public information about (a case that is not suspicious), but the

detectives are stuck,â€? he said. “That’s why they went that route.â€? By tracking down the woman’s missing property, especially her cellphone, and by speaking with anyone who may have seen or talked with her before her death, police are hoping to fill in the blanks in the case. “We’ve spoken to her friends ‌ and now we’re looking for people that may not necessarily know her but may have seen her or chatted with her, and may have information as to what she was doing on that day,â€? Soucy said. The missing personal effects include an Apple shopping bag that contained a Samsung Galaxy cellphone, a Canon camera and a purple iPod Nano. Police also believe she may have been riding a bike. Police have also released several photos to help jog people’s memories in the event they interacted with the woman the morning of Tuesday, Aug 26 in Hog’s Back Park, Vincent Massey Park or at Carleton University. Soucy could not explain why police released surveillance images of the woman rather than photographs supplied by friends or family. “That’s what the detectives gave us to put out,â€? he said. Anyone who saw or spoke to the woman on Aug. 26 is asked to call the Ottawa police major crime unit at 613-236-1222, ext. 5493, or make an anonymous tip to Crime Stoppers by calling 613-233-8477.

OTTAWA POLICE SERVICE

Police have taken the unique step of reaching out to the public for help in tracking down a Samsung Galaxy cellphone, an Apple shopping bag as well as a bicycle belonging to a woman whose body was found in the Rideau River near Vincent Massey Park on Aug. 26. While foul play is not suspected, investigators are also looking to speak with anyone who talked to the woman in the days prior to the discovery of her body.

IS YOU

WINNING…

THE REALITY IS,

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

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

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

Soup was a stick-toyour-ribs kind of meal

T

he big white granite pot never left the back of the Findlay Oval. It might blacken around the bottom edge, and sitting close to the reservoir, it never really got down to a boil until Mother felt it was ready to be moved closer to a front burner. This was Mother’s soup pot. It was as much a part of our kitchen, as the old pine table and the back-to-thewall cupboard, and the only time it left the stove was when its innards were ready for the table. If soup ever came in tin cans, and could be bought at Briscoe’s General Store, none of that extravagance ever came through our door. Soup was just another food that could be made from what we grew on the farm, albeit mostly from leftovers from our kitchen table after a meal was over. Pea and potato soup were never made in the big granite pot, mainly because it was already in use on the back of the Findlay Oval. My sister Audrey called Mother’s soup pot “scrap heaven.� That was because not a crumb of a leftover was ever thrown out, and these “scraps� were what formed

Mary Cook’s Memories the bulk of the soup, and “heaven� because the aroma’s coming from the pot, filled us with anticipation of what was in store for us when it was time to add the soup to a meal. Of course, there were never any scraps from our dinner plates. They would be wiped clean by a crust of bread, and heaven forbid that there would be as much as a half a carrot left to be eaten on your plate! As Mother would say, if we ever wasted a morsel of food, “you are taking it right out of the mouth of a starving Armenian� who I was pretty sure lived in Arnprior. No, the leftovers would be what were left in the bowls or on the meat platter at the end of a meal. Now, there never was very much left after our big family had attacked the table, but there was always a bit of meat, or a few vegetables, leftover gravy, all of which was put into Mother’s soup

pot on the back of the cook stove. Even bones from the roasts were simmered, and carefully scooped out just before the soup was brought to the table. Our old collie, Sport, made short work of the bones out on the back stoop. And there it simmered away, with Mother taking an occasional peek into the pot to make sure everything was well covered with water. And often she would take a teaspoon off the spoon holder on the kitchen table and dip it into the pot, blow on it to cool it down, and sip. It was then she would add another dash of salt and pepper if needed. The pot was kept covered, but that didn’t stop the wonderful aroma from seeping out and filling the kitchen. We could smell the mixture of vegetables, the onions, and the three bay leaves – never two leaves, always three.

REAL ESTATE THIS WEEK

Soup night was family favourite on the farm Continued from page 23

Mother explained that she always used three so that she would know exactly how many to dish out and throw away when it came time to eat the soup. Although she could never give me a name, she assured me that someone from the Barr Line had choked on a bay leaf, and she wasn’t taking any chances. Although we ate two hefty meals a day, one at noon hour and one at night, when Father was going back out to work in the fields or the barns after our supper, that’s when the soup pot was brought to the table. Those nights, supper would mean a big bowl of soup, maybe a plate of cold headcheese, fried potatoes, enough sliced homemade bread to feed half of Renfrew County, and of course, this time of year, a platter of freshly picked tomatoes and cucumbers. That was called a light supper. I loved those nights, because I loved Mother’s soup that had been simmering for days on the back of the Findlay Oval. It was always a mystery what you were spooning into your mouth the night we were served the soup. You

may be able to distinguish the carrots and the onions, but by the time everything had been simmering for so long, the potatoes and parsnips were as one. It wasn’t unusual to find a meatball, a smidgen of a pork chop, and even chunks of roast beef or the remains of a chicken leg in your soup bowl. Whatever had been left on the table after a meal, regardless what it was, went into the soup pot. The night we had the soup, it was a “stick-to-your-ribs” kind of meal, and when supper was over, back onto the stove went the pot. More water added, three more bay leaves, and the pot was ready and waiting for Mother’s next batch of soup. It was recycling at its finest. Long before the term became popular. Mother was a master at recycling, but without a doubt, her pot of ever-simmering soup on the back of the Findlay Oval was one our favourite meals back during those lean Depression years.

Mould closes science and tech museum indefinitely Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News - The discovery of mould prompted the immediate evacuation of staff last week from the Canada Science and Technology Museum, which will remain indefinitely closed as a result. The decision to evacuate between two and three dozen personnel late last Thursday, Sept. 11 was made as soon as “unacceptable levels of airborne mould” were detected during air tests conducted after mould was found in the south wall of the museum earlier in the week. The amount of mould was “enough to trigger air quality tests (the results of which) were above the acceptable norms according to the labour code,” said museum spokesman Olivier Bouffard, who was among those evacuated. Workers discovered water had seeped in from the roof to the south wall, which runs from the cafeteria to a demonstration area. The discovery was made while the museum was closed all last week to undergo scheduled maintenance. Workers spotted the water infil-

tration while they were verifying the integrity of a seal installed early last October to prevent asbestos in “significant” sections of the roof from contaminating the rest of the museum. Bouffard said it was still unknown how long the roof had been leaking water. “Is it because of the heavy rainfall of last week (Sept. 5), or has it been longer than that? At this point I don’t have an answer to that question,” he said the day after the museum was closed indefinitely. Museum officials have wanted to replace the roof for some time. “It’s been repaired many, many times over the decades,” Bouffard said. “It was due to be repaired a while ago, but the discovery of asbestos sort of made that a much more complex task to accomplish.” Since last fall, they have been working with roofing and asbestos specialists to replace or repair the roof on the building. The museum has been in its current home on St. Laurent Boulevard since 1967, and prior to that the facility housed an industrial bakery. The museum will remain indefinitely closed until officials can flesh

out a remediation plan that would tackle the mould problem. The museum’s facilities manager was meeting with contractors last Friday to determine the scope and type of work needed to remedy the situation, said Bouffard, who could not provide an estimate as to how long the facility will remain closed to staff and visitors. “The health, safety, and well-being of the people who visit us and work at the museum are our absolute priority,” Alex Benay, who took over the helm of the museums corporation earlier this year as president and chief executive officer, said in a statement. “We took action as soon as the situation was discovered, and we will continue to show the same transparency following the evolution of the situation.” Evacuated staff will be relocated to other facilities within the Canada Science and Technology Museums Corporation, which manages three national museums in Ottawa, including the Canada Science and Technology Museum, the Canada Agriculture and Food Museum and the Canada Aviation and Space Museum.

BioSil Advanced Collagen Generator Clinical Trial Results

t Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles t Increases Skin Elasticity t Thickens and Strengthens Hair t Strengthens Nails 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.

BioSil™ generates collagen by activating the collagen producing cells in your body known as fibroblasts. It is clinically proven to increase collagen formation. In fact, in the clinical trial the women taking BioSil™ reduced wrinkles by 30%, increased skin elasticity by 89% and thickened and strengthened their hair by 13% compared to women not taking BioSil™. So when you want genuine visible results from collagen, generate it, don’t eat it. Experience the beautiful difference for yourself!

Dr. Marita Schauch, BSc ND debunks myths about collagen “creams,” beauty industry promises and plastic surgery to show you how and why building and generating collagen is an essential component to true health and beauty in her newest book Collagen Myths & Misconceptions.

For that reason, the 37-yearold working mother of three children is vying to become the next councillor representing Gloucester-Southgate Ward.

There are many issues that I feel strongly about – community policing, safety, transportation, senior services, programs for youth, affordable housing and road maintenance to name a few.

Meet the candidate: Mohamed Roble Candidate’s priorities target community safety, environment, youth engagement Ottawa South News Staff

News - Mohamed Roble is a 29year-old Herongate resident who is campaigning to represent the Gloucester-Southgate Ward. He has lived in Ottawa for the past two decades – primarily in south Ottawa. Roble, the eldest of seven children, recently completed his master’s degree in education at the University of Ottawa. His experience includes four years of development work in Asia, Africa and the Middle East, and he served seven years with the Canadian Armed Forces reserves as a medic. Roble is an active volunteer with several organizations across south Ottawa, and is interested in youth mentorship and political engagement. His interests include photography, fitness and travel. Q: Why are you running for city council in Gloucester-Southgate Ward? A: I believe that city council

should be more representative and reflective of our local community. New insights and fresh ideas are required to tackle the growing challenges that affect our community and Ottawa as a whole. It’s time that city council hears a new voice offering a different perspective. My three major priorities include the environment, youth engagement and community safety and security. According to the Ottawa police service crime trends report of 201213 only 43 per cent of residents in Gloucester-Southgate feel safe to walk alone at night compared to a 60-per-cent average across all wards. Community safety and security can be better addressed in our community by increasing collaborations between the police service and community groups. I believe a Neighborhood Watch initiative alongside police services will decrease criminal activity and foster overall safety and security in our ward. My priorities include advocating

for clean drinking water and surface water in our community. Constituents in Gloucester-Southgate have expressed to me their concern about the TransCanada’s proposed Energy East pipeline that would run through south Ottawa. Their concern is that drinking water and surface water may be contaminated. Being a resident of GloucesterSouthgate, I too share their concern over our drinking water and surface water. Civic and youth engagement is also a priority. In the previous municipal election, Gloucester-Southgate Ward had the second lowest voter turnout rate at 40 per cent. I believe municipal politics need to be made more relevant for younger people. By addressing the concerns of the youth, they are more likely to actively become engaged with the democratic process. Q: Do you live in the ward you are running in? A: Yes, I live in the Herongate area of Gloucester-Southgate Ward. Q: Detail your past political and civic activism, whether it’s volunteering, campaigning, donations, lobbying or employment at any level

Q: How are you going to fundraise for your campaign? A: Fundraising is being done through my website at mohamedroble.ca. Q: Do you have any potential pecuniary interests or a financial or family conflict of interest? A: No.

SUBMITTED

Mohamed Roble is a longtime Ottawa resident who says he is focused on ensuring safety in the community and engaging youth, among other priorities. of government or political party. A: I’ve been a long-term activist for youth political engagement. During my university career I was and still am a staunch supporter of reducing the increasing cost of tuition for university students. I also volunteered with John Fraser’s Liberal Party campaign for provincial office. I volunteer for various organizations both locally and across Ottawa supporting youth initiatives.

Q: What do you think the biggest issue was in Gloucester-Southgate Ward this term and how was it handled? What will be the big issue next term? A: One of the biggest issues in the 2010 election was crime and safety in our community. In this election, I believe it is still is a major concern especially around the Herongate and Heatherington areas. Crime and safety must be addressed and cannot be a reoccurring issue from one election to the next.

Ottawa South News Staff

News - John Redins is a 49year-old old concerned citizen who has lived in Ottawa for the past decade. A former automotive parts manager, Redins resides in the Alta Vista Ward with his longtime girlfriend. If elected, Redins said he would prioritize city infrastructure improvements and community safety. Q: Why are you running for city council in Alta Vista Ward? A: Over the years, I have been an active volunteer with many organizations within the city and I believe that I can do even more to help this community as a city councillor.

Q: Detail your past political and civic activism, whether it’s volunteering, campaigning, donations, lobbying or employment at any level of government or political party. A: In my former place of residence in Schreiber, Ont., I was employed in the auto sector and volunteered on council committees that included economic development, parks and recreation and community policing. I also was co-chair of a successful summer festival for several years. When I moved to Ottawa, I was employed immediately in the auto sector as an automotive parts manager. However, both places of employment were hit hard when the auto sector collapsed.

Q: How are you going to fundraise for your campaign? A: I will do door-to-door fundraising as well as some online fundraising via social media.

Alta Vista candidate

Meet the candidate: Hussein Mahmoud

Continued from page 29

News - It’s time for a change at Ottawa city council, says Hussein Mahmoud, and he hopes it starts in Alta Vista Ward, where he is running for councillor in the upcoming municipal election. If elected, Mahmoud said he will keep his eye on the budget and make sure taxpayers’ dollars aren’t wasted because of poor planning decisions. The 27-year-old account executive for Bell Mobility has lived in Ottawa his entire life and graduated from the University of Ottawa with a bachelor of arts degree in political science in 2009. Mahmoud, who has been married for nearly four years and lives near Alta Vista, is coach of the Glebe Gryphons junior boys’ basketball team.

A: In my opinion, the biggest issue in the ward last term was the issue of infrastructure - namely the roads, walkways and bike/accessibility lanes. I believe that the main artery along Heron Road from Walkley Road to Riverside Drive should have been upgraded at the same time Baseline Road was completed. In fact, a potential collapse of a manhole is visible at Heron Road and Alta Vista Drive. Infrastructure and security will be priorities for me this coming term. Many residents simply do not feel safe. Also, as companies move into the Walkley and Heron area, the roads, sidewalks and even city paths are currently failing to help these businesses. We must make the positive changes that will help both the businesses and the people who frequent these businesses. Other candidates registered in Alta Vista Ward are Adam Bowick, Daher Muse Calin, Jean Cloutier, Clinton Cowan, Jeff Dubois, Hussein Mahmoud, Perry Marleau and Brandon Scharfe.

Ottawa South News Staff

Q: Why are you running for city council in Alta Vista? A: Alta Vista is a very dear neighbourhood to me. It’s where I grew up and I went to school. I feel like city council is in a place where it’s a renewal of a four-year contract. I think it’s time for some fresh faces. I deďŹ nitely think I’m a good candidate. There’s deďŹ nitely some issues going on in our ward primarily

youth groups, helping youth stay off the street. I’m big in sports. I mainly helped out with the sports and getting people into basketball – just ways to really get them away from certain lifestyles. As well, this past season I was the coach, the head coach, for the junior boys’ basketball team at Glebe High School, where we won the city championship for the junior boys this year. Q: How are you going to fundraiser for your campaign? A: I’m planning to have a fundraiser event soon ... One of the sad things about municipal politics, even though it affects you the most on your day-to-day life, no one really cares too much about it. The voter turnout is pretty much the lowest compared to the two other (levels of government). I want to create awareness at the same time, when I canvass and get people to vote, whether it’s for me or not.

SUBMITTED

Hussein Mahmoud is a high school basketball coach and telecommunications executive who has set his sight on city council. around crime. Every time you turn on the news there’s always something happening around Herongate and Cedarwood, so it’s deďŹ nitely something that needs to change.

Q: Do you have any potential pecuniary interests or a ďŹ nancial or family conict of interest? A: No.

Q: Detail your past political experience or activism, whether it’s volunteering, campaigning, donations or employment at any level of government or political party. A: I’ve worked with multiple

Q: What do you think the biggest issue was in Alta Vista this term and

how was it handled? What will be the big issue next term? A: I think the ward is being more represented by corporations. You look at the Orgaworld contract: the auditor general came out and said up to date $7.7 million spent on unnecessary costs and on the whole term of the contract it will be, I believe, $12.6 million of unnecessary costs. Why did certain council members vote on this deal? ... You know I’m all for the environment and the green bin but when a deal doesn’t work it’s pretty evident. That’s one of my goals is to not waste, it’s to budget properly and not waste people’s money. (The biggest issue) next term of council is planning, planning long term. My vision is not (just up until) 2018, I want to be able plan Ottawa for 2030. I know LRT is a big issue right now, but we’re the capital of Canada and we don’t even have an LRT system going to the airport. All our bridges ... the bridge on Airport Parkway, the bridge in Strandherd-Armstrong – everything is so backed up. Other candidates currently registered in Alta Vista Ward are: Adam Bowick, Daher Muse Calin, Jean Cloutier, Clinton Cowan, Jeff Dubois, Hussein Mahmoud, Perry Marleau, John Redins and Brandon Scharfe.

Shahrukh Anis, co-president of the University of Ottawa’s Pakistani Students Association, wears his Pakistan cricket team jersey with pride ahead of the second charity cricket tournament scheduled for Sept. 20 at Lynda Lane Park in south Ottawa. Partial proceeds from the event will support displaced people in Pakistan.

Students spearhead cricket tourney for Pakistani charity Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News - Competitive cricket matches have been known to span several days, but organizers of an upcoming cricket match in south Ottawa are organizing a day of multiple games in a bid to get more players on the pitch in support of a good cause. A single game can carry on for five days, reason why some believe cricket was banned in Germany by Adolf Hitler, who didn’t like that the matches went on for so long, said Shahroukh Anis, co-president of the University of Ottawa’s Pakistani Students Association, which is organizing the Charity Cricket Cup for Sept. 20 at Lynda Lane Park off Smyth Road. “Of course, ours are cut off after an hour and a half,” he said with a laugh. Spectators at the upcoming event will be able to watch cricket games. Board games will be available for playing in the stands, similar to when the association held its first cricket tournament at the park

earlier this summer. “We had them last time as well because cricket matches do get long,” Anis said. “So … they would switch to the board games and they were having a good time.” Cricket is a much-loved sport in Ottawa, home to several cricket clubs. While the University of Ottawa does not have a dedicated cricket pitch, Carleton University has a multi-purpose athletic facility where cricket can be enjoyed, said Anis. Many Pakistani-Canadians are passionate about the sport, which is extremely popular in Pakistan, said Anis, who has been casually playing cricket since he was a little boy. “It’s really well known over there. You’re always going to see a game of cricket going on somewhere in Pakistan, just walking down the street.” Athletes are drawn to the camaraderie on and off the pitch. “No matter how much of a rivalry you have on the field, when you get off the field you’re still meshing with each other,” said the Findlay Creek

resident and fourth-year university student. The sport day is also a way to help others in need. Partial proceeds from the event will go to the Pakistanbased Imran Khan Foundation, which advocates for and provides emergency disaster relief to displaced residents in Pakistan. The student association wanted to combine the tournament with a charitable endeavour. “We want to be part of the solution even though we’re far away,” Anis said. “We want to show Pakistanis over there that over here we haven’t forgotten about Pakistan. “We see there are so many of our cousins and friends back home doing so much, and to us it’s like we want to be able to do something with them as well.” The cricket cup takes place from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. There will be also be a Halal barbecue.

Panda Game returns for uOttawa, Carleton teams Traditional rivalry match resumes after 10 years Staff

FILE

Players from the University of Ottawa Gee Gees and Carleton Ravens are seen during last September’s Panda game. This year’s event will take place on Sept. 20 on the newly opened field at TD Place.

Sports - A half-centuryold rivalry will play out on the Lansdowne gridiron this month. The Carleton University Gee-Gees and the University of Ottawa Ravens will face off at TD Place on Sept. 20 in the latest edition of the Panda Game featuring the longstanding rivals. The popular tradition returned last year after more than a decade’s absence

from the Ottawa sports scene. The Panda game is named after a stuffed panda mascot named Pedro, who emerged on the Ottawa college football scene in the mid-1950s and quickly became a high-value target of the competing teams. In the years since the first Panda game, many headlinegenerating hijinks have taken place in the spirit of friendly competition – from panda kidnappings to parachute drops, mentions in Parliament and an even an appearance on Hockey Night in Canada. Amid these antics, Pedro became a football ambassador, travelling to college and university campuses across Canada and the United States until the Panda game tradition

ended (temporarily) in 1998. For the Sept. 20 Panda game, Carleton Ravens fans will be located in the south side stands, with Gee-Gees supporters in the north side. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. Tickets can be purchased through CapitalTickets.ca. Carleton students can purchase them through the CUSA office or Athletics Welcome Centre for $20. University of Ottawa students and the general public can pick up tickets at Montpetit Hall or the Minto Sports Complex Client Services. That $20 ticket (for students) includes transportation. Information on TD Place can be found at tdplace.ca

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

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

Here is a scenario where a mother owns purchase a permanent life insurance policy a family business and wishes to gift the for $500,000 and donate the proceeds to shares to her adult children through a charity through her Will. provision in her Will. She wants to eliminate This is a win-win for both her family and capital gains taxes of the shares payable the charity. She will own the policy during at her death. The taxable capital gains her lifetime and name her estate as policy reportable on the deemed disposition of beneficiary. She will direct that a gift in an shares on death is $500,000 and tax owing amount equal to the life insurance proceeds on this amount is $230,000 (base on a be paid to a charity named in the Will.

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

Basketball court ready to open this weekend Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - When Michael Kirkpatrick ďŹ rst moved to Lowertown, all he wanted for him and his friends was a place to play basketball. That desire to get some extracurricular exercise is the reason Kirkpatrick started to get involved in his community. It began with a petition he said in 2007, which he took door-to-door seeking support for a court from neighbours, receiving 200 signatures. “Sports bring people together,â€? Kirkpatrick said. “No matter what age or background, the passion for health and sports will unite all that come to shoot hoops. Also sports is a great outlet for youth. To build a strong community we need to start with our youth. If youth can pour their energy into positive endeavours such as sports only good things will follow.â€? The petition and desire to bring a basketball court to the community led the young man to joining

the Lowertown Community Association, where he began working on projects beyond his dream to bring a basketball court to the neighbourhood. Until recently, the idea to have a court in the area seemed like it might never happen, but the city project to turn a four-way stop at Union Street and the northern leg of King Edward Avenue into a roundabout to accommodate a turnaround for STO buses created the opportunity to build the basketball court. “It was a combination of projects,� said Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury. According to Fleury, the construction staging was planned to occupy the far left corner of Bordeleau Park, near four-way stop at Union. “They needed a working area and we wanted to see if we could leverage that and use the resources smartly,� Fleury said. The site, accessible by taking an off-ramp from King Edward Avenue towards Union Street, was

At a total cost of $150,000, the court and an adjacent parking lot

featuring ďŹ ve parking spots are near completion, with plans to open on Sept. 19. “I ďŹ rst met Michael when he came knocking at my door with a petition to get a basketball court for

the neighbourhood,� said Elizabeth Bernstein, Lowertown Community Association’s president. “He’s been persistent and it has paid off.� Fleury credits Kirkpatrick with making the court a reality. “This really demonstrates what can happen when a community member is engaged and how it can really get things accomplished.� There will also be bicycle parking available at the location. Kirkpatrick said he is overjoyed at the prospect of soon having a place to play. “This will be Ottawa’s best outdoor basketball court,� said Kirkpatrick, who is also involved in organizing the annual Ottawa Charity Ping Pong tournament. “The court is perched upon a hill, has a great view of the river, Bordeleau Park, and the skyline of the market . The view is picturesque. And not only will Lowertown youth and sports enthusiasts use the court but it will be a destination for basketball players from all around Ottawa.�

West Carleton-March Coun. Eli El-Chantiry, whose residents also got intervener funding to fight a proposed landfill expansion in Carp in the past, said the money helps groups get on more equal footing with landfill proponents. Taggart-Miller, the company proposing the Carlsbad Springs landfill and recycling centre, did not respond to a request for comment about the intervener funding. The reason Capital Region Citizens Coalition for the Protection of the Environment didn’t get the full $75,000 in intervener funding right away was due to concerns raised by staff and politicians about how past groups in West Carleton and Navan used the money the city gave them, Blais said. Money was being used for public relations and promotions, including messaging opposing the city, El-Chantiry said. He said the city learned its lesson and used

for public relations. The initial $50,000 for the Carlsbad group came from the waste reserve fund, while the additional $25,000 was allocated from the city’s account for unforeseen expenses.

News -The city is bolstering a community effort to fight a proposed landfill in Carlsbad Springs to the tune of $25,000. The recent top-up in a grant city council gave to Capital Region Citizens Coalition for the Protection of the Environment brings the total funding to $75,000 of taxpayers’ dollars. The money allows the group to hire experts in hydrogeology, biology and other fields to review environmental assessment documents – something members would be hard-pressed to do on their own, said Susanne Langlois, president of the group. “I’m up against Goliath here,� she said. Langlois recently brought a copy of the draft environmental assessment with her to a meeting of the agriculture and rural affairs committee. The voluminous tome, commissioned by the proponent of the waste facility, TaggartMiller, filled six large binders with dense technical information. Being able to spend some of the initial $50,000 the city gave to the group allowed it to hire an expert who flagged a major discrepancy in the data regarding how long it would take water to penetrate the bedrock. While Taggart-Miller’s consultants estimated 500 years, the CRCCPE’s consultant said the calculations used were flawed, meaning the water could reach the bedrock in 50 years. “There are a heck of a lot of assumptions and no data to back them up,� Langlois said. “I wouldn’t be able to do this without this money.�

The group has also fundraised about $10,000 on its own, Langlois said. Having another set of experts arguing against the landfill is in the city’s best interests, said Cumberland Coun. Stephen Blais, who opposes having the facility in his ward. City staff has also raised questions about the analysis of air quality in the draft environmental assessment, as well as soil issues that would affect the groundwater, so providing additional funds for other experts to help bolster those arguments is a good way to oppose the dump. Landfills are a different beast than other types of development, such as a building or industrial facility, Blais said. Being able to effectively participate in the process is much more difficult for average residents who don’t have the technical background, he said.

Choose Canlok Stone for all your agstone needs

With agstone, maintenance is effortless. To avoid stains, simply sweep it regularly to ensure any loose dirt or plant debris don’t stain your stone by staying on it for too long. Should you need to clean any stains or mold that develop, just

Picking up a agstone cleaner is a good idea once your pavement has settled as all agstone pavement is susceptible to water stains, particularly if the water in your area contains chemicals such as alkaline or if it has added minerals. Even with the utmost care, stains are still likely to

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

Big name acts, local talent key to Folk Fest success: organizer Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News – From international superstars to home-grown Ottawa talent, almost 70 acts recently took to multiple stages at Hog’s Back Park for Ottawa’s annual Folk Festival. Organizers say the key to drawing approximately 50,000 spectators to the five-day event from Sept. 10 to 14, was providing an eclectic lineup of acts, and a few extra features, such as a craft beer house, a food truck rally and an interactive workshop sessions featuring musicians. “We had a great run on the front end, like Wednesday, Thursday, Friday,” said festival artistic director Mark Monahan. “Saturday was obviously challenging (due to the weather), and Sunday was pretty good, so we’re pretty much on track with what we hoped.” Acts this year included Serena Ryder, Blue Rodeo, Joss Stone as well as Lorde. The lineup also featured family friendly talent such as the Wiggles and Fred Penner. Local performers were also well represented. “I think the formula is bringing in some big names like Lorde, like The National, but we still have some significant amount of local and community talent,” said Monahan. “I think the festival is a great showcase for artists who don’t always have an opportunity to play to significant crowds here in Ottawa.” There were many musical highlights for both organizers and festival-goers, including performances by American indie rock band The War on Drugs, Canada’s Serena Ryder and Blue Rodeo, among many others. “I would say Blue Rodeo, in very frigid conditions, put on an amazing show considering it was freezing,”

said festival spokesman Joe Reilly. “The thing about them is by the end of the set you could see (guitarist) Colin Cripps … you could see him shaking his hands like somebody who’s spent too long in a winter day,” he said. “But they really warmed up the audience. When they were doing It Hasn’t Hit Me Yet they stepped back from the mikes and the whole audience sang it and it was beautiful.” There was a last-minute change in Sunday’s lineup. The Gaslight Anthem had to pull out due to a family issue and in their place Newfoundland’s Hey Rosetta! filled in, Last-minute schedule changes are often inevitable. “I can’t think of a year in either of these festivals (Folk Festival and RBC Bluesfest) where we haven’t had somebody have to cancel. When you book 60 or 70 bands for this and more than 100 at Blues something is going to happen with somebody.” In addition to having to cope with cold and rainy weather during some of the performances, the festival was also slapped with a $405 fine after the city fielded a number of noise complaints on opening night Wednesday. While weather may have contributed to carrying the sound that evening, Monahan said it’s important for various stakeholders to meet and discuss concerns around noise. “I think there has to be more of a public discussion about the role of events and how that fits with the residents and what the city wants to do in terms of promoting Ottawa,” he said, adding that event organizers, city officials and community representatives should come together. BRIER DODGE/METROLAND “A lot of the bylaws that we’re dealing with were created years ago, Lorde performs on Sept. 11 at Ottawa’s Folk Festival held at Hog’s Back Park. The New Zealand singer drew like more than 20 years ago when I a large crowd to the park, and performed several of her hit songs that have been popular on the radio this summer, such as ‘Royals’ and ‘Tennis Court.’ started,” Monahan said.

News - Some of Ottawa’s best fine art will be on display in the Glebe this weekend. The Glebe Community Centre will transform into a gallery for the annual fine art show on Sept. 20-21. Celebrating its ninth year, this year a number of new artists will fill Scotton Hall to show off their wares for the twoday event. “The Glebe Fine Arts Show provides Ottawa with a cultural event not to be missed,” said organizer Linda Bordage. “If you are looking to find the perfect piece for your office, family room, living room or bedroom, this event is for you.” There will also be many returning artists; Anne Remmer

ganizer Eileen Durand, over 1,000 people attended the show last year, which draws art lovers from across the National Capital Region, offering a variety of mediums for patrons, including embroidery, photography, pottery and paintings. Aside from artists showing off and selling their art pieces, local students will participate in the event. “They will have their own booth and show things they have done,” Durand said. It’s nice to see the new generation of artists helping out with the show and having an opportunity to show their art.” The students also volunteer, helping set up, offering any help to the exhibitors and offer support during the show. Admission is free and there will be door prizes and a café open with tables and chairs, serving a light lunch, soups, beverages and desserts. The show runs from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. both days.

Metal fence picked for Lowertown park art

TAGGART PARKES FOUNDATION PROUDLY PRESENTS

Design showcases people, neighbourhood’s proximity to water Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News – A stainless steel fence designed to look like a flowing river in honour of the history of Lowertown will soon border the eastern edge of Bingham Park. Created by Cairn Cunnane, “Our Fence� was selected by the city as the park’s new public art. Cunnane’s design will wind

Homes for the Holidays

around trees and hedges and is meant to look like a flowing path or river. The sculptural fence spans more than 61 metres and will feature groups of overlapping people mingling by the fence and tree-like patterns.There will be a welcoming gate archway at the entrance on Dalhousie Street. The city issued a call for artists to help beautify the park in May and held a public open house of the top four designs

on July 31 for area residents to judge. During that open house, Cunnane said the fence represents the discovery of both the people and history of Lowertown, with the fence formed in waves to represent the Rideau Canal, which brought many immigrants to the old neighbourhood. The art project has a budget of $155,000 and was proposed as part of the Sussex Drive reconstruction project. Because of limited streetscape space on Sussex Drive, Bingham Park was picked for the location. The public can view the art proposals and submit comments online at ottawa.ca.

Last of Cumberland legacy money spent on signs

Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Three east-end communities are set to get a little bit more welcoming. Signs greeting people as they enter Cardinal Creek, Fallingbrook and Queenswood Heights are set to be erected in the next month or so thanks to leftover money from the former village of Cumberland’s reserve fund. The city said the last $9,000 or so that remains earmarked for projects in the former municipality’s area had to be used by the end of this year, and the communities chose entrance signs. The three, 1.2-metre-square signs will also feature space

for the communities to advertise upcoming local events, said Sean Crossan of the Cardinal Creek Community Association, who spearheaded the project. The communities wanted to add welcome signs in order to achieve equity with much smaller rural communities nearby that have signs announcing your arrival, Crossan said. “For Cardinal Creek this is particularly important as Cardinal Creek Village is being built just east of Cardinal Creek and it is expected to have 5,000 houses and 20 acres of commercial development,” Crossan said. “(The sign) will avoid confusion for visitors to our beautiful community.” Queenswood Heights is happy to replace a sign that was destroyed, said community association president Emilie Anne Duval. “In Queenswood Heights’ case, our welcome sign, which used to be located on the Duford hill, was destroyed

a number of years ago and it has been a struggle getting it replaced, so we are thrilled with this moving forward,” she wrote in an email. Orléans Coun. Bob Monette said welcome signs were the most preferred option to spend the money on, given the amount of cash was quite small. “It’s just an identity as well as an information piece,” Monette said. The signs will also reduce the community groups’ overall advertising costs because they will allow events and news to be displayed in prominent locations, reducing the need to put up extra signs throughout the neighbourhood, Crossan said. Previously, Monette worked with the Queenswood Heights community to spend $20,000 of the Cumberland legacy fund on a book about local history. The Cardinal Creek sign will be located on Trim Road, on the hill before Watters Road.

MICROCHIPPING: YOUR PET’S WAY OF TELLING WHO THEY ARE AND WHERE THEY LIVE

Lovebirds like having plenty of toys to play with and can even learn tricks with a patient owner.

importance of identifying pets with a microchip, said Sarah Oswald, manager: admissions and rehoming. “A microchip is an animal’s way of telling us who they are and where they live,” Oswald said. “It’s the best safety step that you can take to help your animal get home to you if they’re ever lost.” To find out about upcoming microchip clinics, please visit http:// ottawahumane.ca/yourpets/microchip.cfm. Do you have a story to share about losing a pet or having one returned because of a microchip? Please share it on the OHS Facebook page at Facebook. com/OttawaHumane.

Crossan said. The community associations will be responsible for maintaining the signs.

From April 1 to Aug. 31, 24 lost cats and 55 lost dogs brought to the Ottawa Humane Society were returned to their human companions because they had a microchip. When you consider the total number of strays brought to the OHS during that same time period — 964 cats and 498 dogs — it’s clear that there is still work to be done when it comes to education on the

Kanata burlesque class giving women new lease on life Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com

Arts - There is nothing wrong with women learning to be sexy and move in their own body, says Kari Hummer. Far from it, she says. It’s actually empowering. That’s how she felt, anyway, after taking dancing up again after leaving a volatile relationship. And, when she shared her love of dance with other women, she learned two things: she was definitely not the only woman who could regain her self-esteem that way, and, to accomplish that, burlesque is best. Hummer began offering dance classes in Pembroke in 2006, she said. “The reason I started was because I had been in (a bad) relationship and I didn’t really know who I was,” she said. “I felt very uncomfortable in my own body and I wanted to do something about it, so I started researching and taking action on building my own confidence, my self-esteem and feeling comfortable in my body. “One of my passions that I had was dance and I started sharing that with people just for I guess connection and I thought, you know, people might like to do it.” She was right. At first, the classes were not really “burlesque-ee” she said. “It was more just teaching some fun dance

routines to the women,” said Hummer. But, when Hummer ventured to teach a “sensual dance” class, she found her students loved it. “Women wanted to learn, ‘How do you feel feminine and feel sensual in your body and feel OK with that?’” she said. That’s when she started combining the skills and techniques she learned with her sensual dance class. The response was amazing, she said. Women who had suffered abuse as well as those who hadn’t were not just enjoying the class but learning to walk confidently in their own skin. “I thought, ‘Wow, this is something that could really help people,’” said Hummer. She moved to Kanata four years ago, and has been offering transformational burlesque classes for about a year and a half, now working out of the Kanata Recreation Complex. Ashley Nuovo, aka Ruby Noir in dance class, began taking classes with Hummer while living in Pembroke, and has since moved to Kanata as well and has continued taking classes. “I had been a dancer years before but I had always struggled with my femininity,” she said. “I thought (the class) was a chance to open and explore that side of myself.” Nuovo admits to being sceptical at first of both being in a classroom with so many women, ADAM KVETON/METROLAND and of the self-esteem exercises. Now, she said Dance instructor Kari Hummer, right, leads her transformational burlesque class in a roushe is a convert. See INSTRUCTOR, page 56

tine on Aug. 29. The class has been pushing women out of their comfort zone and teaching them to feel at home in their own skin, said some of Hummer’s students.

Apple cinnamon sugar doughnuts a sweet treat Lifestyle - The addition of apples makes these baked doughnuts soft and moist. Once the batter is mixed, it’s best to bake them as soon as possible. Preparation time: 30 minutes. Baking Time: 10 to 12 minutes. Makes: 12.

• 7 mL (1-1/2 tsp) ground cinnamon • 90 mL (6 tbsp) butter, melted Preparation instructions In medium bowl, whisk to-

gether flour, baking powder, salt, and cardamom, if using. In a large bowl, whisk eggs with sugar; stir in apple, buttermilk, oil and vanilla. Stir in flour mixture until moist-

ened. Spray two six-doughnut pans with cooking spray. Fill each cavity with about 50 ml (1/4 cup) batter. (If you have only one pan, cover and refrigerate remaining batter.)

Bake in 350 F (180 C) oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until doughnuts spring back when touched and are light in colour. Let cool in pan for three minutes; invert onto rack and let cool completely. Repeat with

remaining batter if necessary, cleaning and re-spraying pan. Cinnamon sugar: In medium bowl, mix sugar with cinnamon. Brush or dip doughnuts in butter to coat all over. Dip doughnuts into cinnamon sugar, pressing lightly to adhere. Foodland Ontario

“It’s unbelievable,� said Nuovo. “I feel more comfortable in my skin, and it’s just been great for self-esteem in general.� Trisha Bond, aka Honey Rider, said she had no particular reason for joining the class a year-and-a-half ago other than because it looked like fun. But she said it helped her as well. “I think the biggest thing is I don’t feel like I need to fly under the radar anymore,� said Bond. “I always kind of hid in my life. I didn’t look at people when I walked into a room, my eyes were down, I didn’t feel confident, I never

wore colour, so it’s really built my confidence and my self-esteem in a really healthy way, and people around me notice.� Hummer said the classes work because it’s a little scary, and forces women to become vulnerable, but in a supportive atmosphere. “Most people have a misconception about what we do,� said Hummer. “They think we just dance and shake things. Some people even think that we take our clothes off and we don’t. That’s not even at all what it’s about. “I just tell them that the dancing part is a way out of people’s comfort zone because 95 per cent of the wom-

en that come here have never danced before.� Though she has met women who have gone through abuse as bad and worse than what she endured, Hummer said the class works for all kinds of women, so long as they are ready for it, because it is combating a general trend. “A lot of people have made (being feminine) a weak trait,� she said. “But being feminine is very strong and a lot of people don’t know how to be feminine anymore and embrace that.� That’s why burlesque is best.

A NEW YEAR – A FRESH START The new school year has begun, and our students are settling into their routines and busy schedules. There is a sense of excitement in River Zone public schools, and some dramatic changes as well. MICHELLE NASH/METROLAND

A four-storey 22-unit development proposed for Marquette Avenue in May wanted to replace the two homes on the site.The Vanier Community Association announced it will create guidelines to help respond to any future development proposals.

Vanier Community Association lists priorities michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - The Vanier Community Association plans to narrow its focus this year to issues surrounding sustainable development, building community relations and fundraising. “We plan to organize the activities under these three areas,” said Kirsten Duke, the association’s new president. “We decided to get rid of the laundry list and narrow down the focus.” The association welcomed a new board of directors on Sept. 9, its first board meeting since June. Over the past few years, Vanier has seen a resurgence, with more young families moving into the area as well as both big and small developers eyeing aging, largesized lots. The growing interest in the community has made those who volunteer for the sustainable development committee at times feel overwhelmed by both the number of applications and the task of trying to understand exactly what residents want. The board and the committee itself have determined it needs to make guidelines in an effort to better respond to both development proposals and the community. These guidelines will be the first item the committee will tackle this year at its Oct. 7 meeting. The association will aim

to build community relations through membership drives and creating partnerships within the community. The idea is to build a stronger base, Duke added. A new addition to the association’s monthly meeting is a 30minute residents’ forum to take place before board business every meeting. Duke said this timeframe will give residents the opportunity to bring up new issues, concerns and ideas at the start of the meeting. If any decisions or motions need to be made concerning an item brought forward by a resident, the board will discuss and vote on the issue at the end of the meeting. In its infancy, the association’s main focus was reaching out to residents, growing its membership and organizing committee structures. It has only been over the past few years that the association has made any efforts at fundraising. The group has attempted to fundraise a few ways in the past, including through “Friends of Vanier,” a fundraiser where businesses could spend $120 for a place on the association’s website. They have also collected donations from residents at community events, but Duke indicated that this year the group would like to do more fundraising to help both this board and future boards with finances.

The association said it has dedicated board members who will handle these three priorities as well as update members on any progress. “We are committed to moving forward on these initiatives in the next two months,” Duke said.

The association said it will post its plans concerning the three areas of interest, along with contact information for members and residents interested on participating in the initiative on its website, vanierassociation.com.

Students at Carleton Heights Public School returned this month to their beautifully refurbished and renovated 21st Century school building on Prince of Wales. The school also houses Andrew Fleck child care services and the Parenting and Family Literacy Centre. Carleton Heights continues to provide a middle French immersion program in Grades 4 to 7. At Fielding Drive Public School, there has been a focus on student safety in the context of proposed multi-unit housing construction. In response to resident concerns, I have ensured that the School Board carries forward student safety priorities into the City of Ottawa’s planning process.

At W.E.Gowling Public School, I worked closely with the Carlington community, my fellow Trustees and Board staff to create a new Early French Immersion program that began this month in senior kindergarten. Over 30 new students registered for this program, strengthening the school and at the same time alleviating overcrowding at the nearest other public school offering early French immersion. Brookfield High School, like other public secondary schools in Ottawa Carleton, is introducing an expanded technology initiative that uses electronic devises such as smart phones and iPads in the learning process in classrooms. Used appropriately by students, and encouraged by educators, technology can improve learning experiences by giving direct classroom access to all the information and learning resources on the Internet.

Midway ticket system changing at Metcalfe Fair Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

News – Ride bracelets are becoming a thing of the past for fairgoers, with the costsaving bracelets available only on Friday, Oct. 3, at this year’s Metcalfe Fair. Midway operator Robertson Amusements has changed the way it charges for rides at the Metcalfe Fair, said fair spokeswoman Cheryl Cooper. Instead of daily bracelet deals, fairgoers can buy a ride-all-day bracelet for Friday, but must buy pre-sale tickets if they want a deal throughout the rest of the weekend. “Traditionally you could buy ride bracelets for whatever day you wanted, and that was a significant savings,” Cooper said. “But as a board we weren’t given that option this year.” Robertson Amusements

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

ers $2 per ride, and pre-sale tickets are on sale now at a cost of $40 for 35 tickets. But full-price tickets, purchased on the day of the visit, can run patrons as much as $5 a ride. “It’s frustrating for everybody, including fair directors who have kids,” Cooper said. Despite this disconnect over prices, Cooper said she still believes Robertson is the best midway operator – and this change is just a sign of the times. See PRO WRESTLING, page 61 FILE

Four-H competitors prepare to show their cow at last year’s Metcalfe Fair. This year’s fair has added pro wrestling to the line up, although organizers said the focus is still on traditional agriculture displays and competitions.

“They still are one of the best midways out there, with an excellent safety record. They’re supposed to be bringing extra rides this year, too,� Cooper said. Patrie said they’ll pack as many rides as they can into the space available – and they’ll be sure to bring rides never before seen at the Metcalfe Fair. Pre-sale tickets, dance show tickets and weekend passes for the 158th Metcalfe Fair running Thursday, Oct. 2 to Sunday, Oct. 5 are available now at the Metcalfe Fair office at the Metcalfe Farmers’ Market on Saturday mornings, Metcalfe Variety on Victoria Street and Cooper Physiotherapy in Osgoode. And as of Sept. 22, the tickets will also be available at the Scotiabank branch in Findlay Creek. Cooper said the branch will match all sales in the form of a donation to the not-for-profit fair. New this year, the Met-

calfe Fair is welcoming Osgoode-born professional wrestler Wayne “Crusher Kline� Cryderman to the ring for an evening of family entertainment. On Friday night, families can enjoy three professional wrestling matches inside the OLG Entertainment tent, compliments of Big Time Pro Wrestling. “We’re excited to have him and his group of wrestlers at the fair,� Cooper said. “One of our younger directors is in charge of entertainment, and she feels it’s important to bring new events. We all like the traditional events but it’s important to change things up and feature new people. We’re hoping to draw a different milieu of people.� That’s been a major part of the Metcalfe Fair’s modern approach: to add new events while maintaining the traditional agricultural focus. “We’ve tried to change with the times,� Cooper said. “Our main emphasis is we’re an

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

Sinkhole victim slaps city with lawsuit Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

The man who drove his car into the sinkhole on highway 174 two years ago is suing the city for $550,000. Juan Pedro Unger is suing the city on behalf of himself, his wife and his daughter. He drove his 2009 Hyundai Accent into a sinkhole while driving

home around 5 p.m. The sinkhole opened up when a pipe collapsed underneath the road, causing a large hole to suddenly open up on the highway. The image of his car, with the tail end sticking into the air and the front end not visible in the hole, was widely distributed in the media. According to lawsuit he filed with the city, he climbed out of his car

and two bystanders pulled him out of the sinkhole. An ambulance stopped to treat him, and he was then driven home by police. The sinkhole fix cost the city $4.9 million, and shut down a portion of the highway for about a week. Unger claims the city should have known about the issues with the pipe and inspected the area. He also claims the city failed to expand an existing

rehabilitation project to include relining the pipe that collapsed, causing the sinkhole. The city hired independent engineering firm BMRoss after the incident, who reported that a number of factors contributed to the collapse of the sewer pipe. The pipe was set to be replaced through a process called relining and staff from a contractor hired to complete the project were in the pipe doing preparatory work shortly before the sewer collapsed, creating a gaping hole in the pavement that swal-

lowed Unger’s car. Unger said he sustained injuries in the accident, including whiplash, and now has sleeping difficulties, anxiety and a fear of driving. The suit also extends to his wife and daughter, and says his wife now has to take on more household chores and had to take stress leave from work for a time. According to Rick O’Connor, the city solicitor, the city has no comment as the matter is before the courts. He said the city will file a statement of defence.

Thompson gala raises $26,000 for care centre Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

News - After 31 years of service, residents, past colleagues and family members came out in droves to give Osgoode Coun. Doug Thompson some attention of his own. More than 200 people gathered at the Greely Community Centre on Sept. 6 for a farewell gala as Thompson gears up for retirement this fall. The fundraising event supported the Township of Osgoode Care Centre – a facility Thompson helped create more than 25 years ago, and one he still serves as a member of the board. The event raised about $26,000 for the long-term care facility, according to organizer Wendy Hill. The evening was one of many surprises – including an appearance from Thompson’s all-time favourite singer, Elvis Presley. Outside, the community centre lawn was decorated with Thompson’s old election signs, as well as Thompson’s beloved van, which for years has used its distinct decor to announce Thompson’s arrival at hundreds of community events. A cardboard cut-out of a coyote even made

Coun. Doug Thompson was the guest of honour at a fundraising gala in support of the Osgoode Township Care Centre on Sept. 6. The Fond Farewell gala offered a look-back at Thompson’s 31 years in politics as he prepares to retire this fall. an appearance. Inside, a colourful display of Thompson’s many hats – literally

and figuratively – as well as dozens of T-shirts, plaques and certificates helped guests look back at the coun-

cillor’s broad involvement in Osgoode Township and beyond. The 68-year-old began his political career as a councillor in Osgoode Township before becoming mayor and then joining Ottawa’s city council after amalgamation in 2000. Friend Al Page MCed the evening, an event he promised would be modelled on Thompson’s core political belief: “If you can get someone else to toot your own horn, the sound carries twice as far,” Page joked. Other speakers also poked fun at Thompson’s storied career. Mayor Jim Watson told of Thompson’s city-wide fame for never missing a free meal, and Rideau-Goulbourn Scott Moffatt – only 33 – noted that Thompson has basically been in office for Moffatt’s entire life. But the night offered heartfelt moments, too. “He’s in it for the right reasons,” Watson said. “You can never question his motives. He puts the interests of his constituents first and foremost. He brings that calm, steely voice of reason to the council table ... and if he doesn’t agree, he’ll tell you. ... Thank you for your leadership and your |

friendship.” It didn’t take long for the speeches and jokes to give way to dancing – led by Thompson himself alongside the king of rock and roll. Stopping short of taking over the microphone, Thompson led lady after lady onto the dance floor, including his wife Mary Lynne, daughter Angela, assistant Jenn Johnson, and long-time friend Dorothy Wynn, whose son he taught in Grade 2. By the time he was ready to make his speech, Thompson had gathered his four children and wife around him for support. He brought all of his family members to the front so his guests could thank them for the sacrifices they made while he served the township. “I think it’s important (my family) understands the sacrifices they gave, over time, have opened up opportunities for so many people,” Thompson said. “It’s important you are here tonight to see the things you gave up were not given up in vain.” His daughter Angela summed up their tearful response. “After 30 years in politics, we are so happy to take you back.”

Home is where the heart is

Sundays until Sept. 28

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