Concerns remain over Hospital Link

Road connections, pathway options unveiled in meeting with residents Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Though still very much opposed to the Alta Vista Hospital Link now under construction in their neighbourhood, Riverview Park residents say they are trying to make the best of a bad situation.

After years of an information drought, about 40 residents were given what they described as a rare chance to preview the next steps in the project at a meeting to update residents at Riverview Alternative School on Sept. 16.

The Ontario government has taken the first steps in its plan to sell off a large portion of Hydro One, the body that controls the province’s electricity transmission network.

By filing a preliminary prospectus with the Ontario Securities Commission on Sept. 18, the stage is set for the eventual sale of 60 per cent of the company. The initial public offering (IPO) would see 15 per cent of the company offered to buyers, with the share price expected to be set in November following consultations with financial advisers.

The province has stated that it will remain the largest shareholder, with a minimum 40 per cent stake, following the full rollout of the plan. Individual and retail investors would be allowed to access 25 per cent of the IPO. Already, a new CEO and board chair have been appointed.

Though it wasn’t mentioned in the run-up to the 2014 provincial election, Premier Kathleen Wynne has stated the money gained from the sale is needed to fund infrastructure in Ontario, as well as pay off the debt remaining on Hydro One’s books.

Energy Minister Bob Chiarelli called the plan “a win-win for the public and for Hydro One’s customers,” in a media release.

“Not only will this plan provide billions for needed infrastructure investments, but we believe it will support performance by a company focused on customer service excellence and system reliability,” said Chiarelli.

Ed Clark, chair of the premier’s advisory council on government assets – colloquially known as the “asset optimization panel” – used ambiguous language when describing where the proceeds from the sale would go.

“As you know, the net proceeds of the Hydro One IPO will be dedicated entirely to either reducing stranded debt or helping to build up Ontario’s

infrastructure and transit,” said Clark on Sept. 18.

Jordan Owens, spokesperson for Chiarelli, clarified the comment, saying, “We’ve always said that broadening Hydro One’s ownership will enable us to reduce in energy sector debt by $5 billion, and put $4 billion towards investment in major infrastructure projects.”

Addressing the issue of electricity rates, Clark said he believed there would be an eventual “favourable impact” on rates, implying that future increases might be less than they would otherwise have been. The Ontario Energy Board, which sets rates, will continue to do so regardless of the partial private ownership, he said.

In the past five years, the OEB has approved rate increases totalling 66.3 per cent for off-peak hours and 61.5 per cent for on-peak times. Many factors go into setting rates, thought the steep increases have become a growing issue, with potential economic and political ramifications.

Despite Clark’s assurances, recent polling has shown the majority of Ontarians do not approve of the Hydro One IPO. A Sept. 2 telephone survey conducted by Environics Research (at the behest of the Canadian Union of Public Employees) revealed that 83 per cent opposed the partial sale.

Local polling in areas such as Orillia, Kingston and Sudbury conducted over the summer revealed similar levels of opposition.

A poll by the Ontario Energy Association, also taken in early September, showed that 78 per cent of respondents expected to pay more for electricity following the partial sale.

However, public sentiment isn’t swaying the government.

“The government realizes that people will have questions but we believe strongly this move is a winwin for the public and for Hydro One customers,” said Owens.

At just 11 years old, Reim Chamseddine already knows she has the power to make a difference.

The Grade 6 student at Dunlop Public School has been running laps with her schoolmates every fall to raise money in Terry Fox’s name in support of cancer research.

She said she found further inspiration to never give up thanks to Terry’s brother, Fred Fox, who visited the South Keys school to talk to the students on Sept. 18. “I like how he kept talking how Terry Fox would never quit,� Chamseddine said following Fred Fox’s presentation, his second that morning after speaking with students at Roberta Bondar Public School in Hunt Club Park.

Chamseddine is one of a number of students who enthusiastically take part in Dunlop’s annual Terry Fox Run, which this year takes place on Erin McCracken/Metroland Sept. 30.

“I remember the night before his operation, I said to Terry, ‘Why you? Why do you have to have cancer,’” said Fox, who still lives in B.C. “He replied right away and said, ‘Fred, why not me? I’ve been told all my life I’m not big enough, not strong enough, not smart enough. This is just another challenge.’”

Terry began his cross-country Marathon of Hope in 1980, but was cut short when he had to stop just outside of Thunder Bay, Ont., after he got sick and learned his cancer had spread to his lungs. He died in 1981 just before he was to turn 23.

Dunlop principal Erin Paynter was brought to tears as she thanked Fox for speaking at the small school, which has 145 students.

“I was seven when Terry came through Ottawa and I remember that quite vividly,”

“Because he said that, he’s inspired me to help raise money for cancer, and never quit anything you have already started,” Chamseddine said.

Fox took the students in Kindergarten to Grade 6 on a slideshow trip along memory lane, showing them photos of himself, his brother and their family taken over the years, and sharing what it was like growing up with Terry.

“My message through this whole presentation is going to be that Terry was just like you guys,” said Fox, who was also in the area visiting schools in Gatineau ahead of five community-based Terry Fox Runs in the Ottawa region that were held on Sept.

20.

This year marks the 35th annual Terry Fox Run. Through it, the Terry Fox Foundation, which has generated almost $700 million for cancer research over the years, hopes to raise $35 million this year.

Just 14 months apart, Fred and Terry did everything together, growing up in B.C. “The most important thing I want to mention to you … is what Terry’s goal was. That just like Terry, you can accomplish anything you want if you work hard and set goals and try hard.”

His brother loved sports, but wasn’t the strongest or fastest. He had to work that much harder to achieve his goals, Fox recalled.

The students learned that Terry was diagnosed with bone cancer in 1977 when he was just 18 years old, prompting the removal of his right leg.

Ottawa South News - Thursday, September 24, 2015

Three Riverside South families have been impacted after fire broke out in a townhouse at 4420 Goldeneye Way the morning of Sept. 16.

Rachel Foster, who lives in the attached next door unit, had just brought her two-year-old son outside to mow her lawn when she smelled smoke.

She thought someone was barbecuing, but it was only 10 a.m.

“It was way too early for that,” she said. “And I looked up and I see all kinds of smoke coming out and I started screaming, (and) ran back in the house to grab my phone to call.”

Foster’s terrified screams brought Patty and her boyfriend running from their backyard across the street.

“It was pretty terrifying,” said Patty, who declined to provide her last name.

They immediately began pounding on the door of the house on fire to alert the homeowner.

“We thought there was someone in there, so we got a baseball bat and were ready to break the window to go in, but luckily no one was in there,” she said. “Just after we started banging on the door the window blew out.”

Flying glass narrowly missed Patty’s boyfriend.

When firefighters arrived on scene, thick smoke was billowing from the roof and flames were licking at the second storey of the home.

Andy Grbic, who had just

moved in that day five houses down the street, said Foster’s screams alerted him to trouble.

“I heard someone screaming and I heard glass smashing, so I popped outside and I heard a lady screaming on the phone calling 911,” Grbic said. “The flames were shooting up pretty good, at least 10-12 feet (three to four metres) above the tree line.”

Capt. Bob Rainboth said the two-alarm fire was battled by about 36 firefighters from approximately five stations, including halls in Riverside South, Barrhaven and Manotick.

“They began an aggressive fire attack and were able to put a quick stop to it,” said the fire department spokesman.

“However, during that process it did spread to both units on either side.”

No one was injured in the blaze, but according to reports

by Riverside South residents on Facebook, the homeowner’s white shih-tzu dog did not survive the fire.

The fire, which caused $430,000 in damages to all three attached homes and their contents, has been ruled accidental.

“There was an electrical appliance that was the source, Rainboth later said, declining to provide specifics. “We did have the electrical safety authority help our investigator determine that it as an electrical appliance.”

There was extensive damage to the second floor and the roof of the home where the fire broke out.

“Residences on either side have limited damage,” Rainboth said at the scene, where fire investigators had just begun interviewing homeowners, and firefighters worked to clear debris and roll up hoses that lined the residential street.

Foster said her neighbours quickly rallied around her and her son.

One woman presented Caleb with a Star Wars toy, while another gave him a lollipop and Rainboth carried over a pint-size firefighter’s hat.

“The neighbours came out.

I’ve got people offering for the kids to come over and play,” Foster said, thankful that her five-year-old daughter was at school and not home amid the chaos.

“It makes it so much easier with the support,” she said, holding two plush toys the firefighters had given her son.

About a half dozen uniformed U.S. Navy personnel, including Foster’s husband, watched the scene from across the street.

“We were supposed to be moving next week,” said Foster, adding that her husband has been stationed in Ottawa on a year-long exchange with the Canadian Armed Forces.

“We were getting ready to move back to Norfolk, Virginia.

“There could have been a million ways I would have liked to go out (back to the U.S.), but this was not on my list,” she said, her voice trembling. “We’ll never get another townhouse for this exact reason.”

The game of politics

F

or me, leaders debates are like Stanley Cup playoffs. In the lead-up to the event mid-September, I made sure the kids were fed early and put to bed.

More books? No, mommy’s watching the leaders debate. More kisses?

No, mommy’s watching the debate.

The kids cried themselves to sleep and I proceeded to shed a tear of my own as I watched three of the four main party leaders answer questions on the economy.

I attempted to tweet while watching the debate. Anyone who’s seen my Twitter feed knows that, of the 700 or so tweets I’ve sent out, approximately 695 of them have been during political debates.

All the hash-tagging and @ symbols get me down a bit.

When I’m watching debates, reading and posting

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse tweets, I realize I lack the attention deficit disorder required to do it successfully.

In the end I re-tweet things from the likes of #inklessPW at Maclean’s and #kady at CBC. The latter tweets so fast it’s like she’s predicting what’s coming next. She must have a special gene that allows her to react so quickly.

I, on the other hand, despite my ability to type 100 words-per-minute and take interview notes verbatim, cannot seem to get a single correct quote out on Twitter. I spend too much time typing # and @ and then I forget what

I was going to say in the first place. Twitter during debates is mostly just a bunch of journalists attempting to outwit each other anyway.

So there I was, tweeting and watching and watching and tweeting and feeling like my head was going to explode with the pressure of the leaders’ rhetoric, the commentators’ wit and the absence of a good bottle of wine, and enjoying myself immensely. In the back of my mind, I was anticipating the lively chats I would have on Facebook when the debate finished.

I generally leave Facebook for post-debate commentary. On Twitter you get to talk to strangers; Facebook is where you can hash out the details with people you already know.

Sadly, it seemed nobody on my Facebook list bothered to watch the debate.

Some did, perhaps, but nobody posted a thing.

Imagine sitting through game six of the Stanley Cup finals, biting your nails, looking forward to the game post-mortem, and then discovering that your friends had been watching HGTV all evening. I was very disappointed.

People had their excuses; the Jays game was a big one.

(Apparently they won 5-0 on the night of the great leaders debate). Others said they were voting strategically and there was nothing anyone could say to change their vote – this despite another month until we actually go to the polls.

And there were those who said they couldn’t stand to

The thing I love about leaders debates is that we get a chance, as voters, to see how each of the potential prime ministers respond under pressure. spend an evening watching grown men argue.

I suppose they’re all good arguments. It wasn’t the best debate ever. The leaders had their usual lines – Harper staying the course on the economy and low taxes; Mulcair reallocating the money to spend better and maintain a balanced budget; Trudeau planning to run three years of deficits in order to borrow money for infrastructure now.

Snorefest, I guess.

But one of them could have scored a big goal or suffered a huge penalty as a result of a gaffe. It didn’t

happen, but the potential is always there, which is what makes the leaders debate so exciting.

The thing I love about leaders debates is that we get a chance, as voters, to see how each of the potential prime ministers respond under pressure. Will they stand on their feet? Can they refute their opponents without insulting them?

Perhaps they will present a turn-of-phrase that will stick with them through the campaign. Sadly, debates today are overly scripted and overly prepared, and far less interesting than they have been in days past when families gathered around the radio to listen after supper.

My kids eventually stopped crying. I, disheartened by my friends’ choice of baseball over political hardball, unmoved by the leaders’ positions on everything from taxes to social policy, went to bed and cried myself to sleep.

There’s still game seven to look forward to: voting day is October 19th.

Good hearing but trouble with conversation?

A lot of people have trouble catching what people say, especially in group situations, despite having good hearing. What a lot of people don’t know is that this may be caused by damage to the so-called motor or amplifier function of special cells in the ear. A new type of hearing aid can help balance this out.

A great many people have difficulty hearing others clearly on a daily basis. Bad acoustics, unclear pronunciation, background noise and music often make it challenging to catch what people say. This results in them having to repeatedly ask questions, straining to hear and perhaps increasingly avoiding discussions in large groups. As mentioned earlier, this may be caused by malfunctions in special cells in the ear. According to a theory proposed by hearing researchers, “motor cells” are a type of hair cell responsible for amplifying quiet sounds. They vibrate up to 20,000 times per second. If these hair cells do not work properly then quiet

a good solution for most people.

This improvement in hearing can be achieved for some clients through the new Phonak Audéo V’s hearing aids. This cutting-edge hearing technology comes in a miniature casing that can significantly enhance the user’s ability to hear speech in company. The hearing aids attune to the person you are speaking to and can also recognize if ambient noise increases in the background.

Hair cells in the ear move very rapidly and can act as an amplifier or dampener. If these cells are damaged, they can no longer properly amplify speech and dampen loud noises.

OC Transpo red ink is not surprising

O

C Transpo’s mid-year report says it is heading towards an $11.5-million deficit by the end of 2015.

That large fiscal shortfall may surprise some people, but if you dig deep into some of the presumptions in the public transit organization’s budget numbers, the reasons for the shortfall becomes clear.

And it certainly was predictable.

For reasons that one must presume has more to do with wishful thinking than anything else, OC Transpo continues to significantly over-estimate ridership growth.

The fact is that ridership has flat-lined in recent years at about 97 million annual trips, and yet OC Transpo continues to insist each year that ridership will increase. They blame the feds for public sector job cuts in recent years – a story that is getting a little old.

When it comes to stagnant growth in ridership, OC Transpo staff claim they don’t know why this is happening, but as Metroland Media has reported, customer systems manager Pat Scrimgeour said they “strongly suspect� it could have something to do with cuts to the federal government.

Perhaps, but is this not something that should be

considered when projecting transit ridership?

There are plenty of things the feds can be blamed for, but OC Transpo’s inability to make realistic transit ridership projections is not one of them.

Another thing that OC Transpo says is a factor in the budget shortfall is higher maintenance costs.

The problem with blaming higher maintenance costs as a reason the transit system is, at this time, awash in red ink, is that OC Transpo should have known there were going to be higher maintenance costs this year and that should have been reflected in the budget from the start.

Bus maintenance costs, for example, are projected to come in more than $6 million over budget this year – eight per cent higher than expected – because a fiveyear warranty on the city’s fleet of hybrid buses ran out, leaving OC Transpo on the hook for repairs.

Was no one at OC Transpo aware these warranties were expiring?

The inability to make reasonable ridership projections and inability to properly budget for maintenance costs when warranties are expiring can’t help but make taxpayers wonder about all the budget projections that are being made over at OC Transpo and city hall when it comes to the light rail transit project.

We’ve been hearing for years about the campaign wizards who collect data on voters, how they use sophisticated computer analysis to learn everything there is to know about us, including whether we are going to vote and how.

would they go door to door?

They say they like to hear what people are saying. Which means that there may yet be a few things that the data base doesn’t know.

If you’ve had your door knocked, you will know that the candidate is not there to argue with you. There’s no time for that. The candidates just want to show you their faces, probably their smiles, get a sense of whether you are likely to support them. And they pay attention to what you say.

It’s old-school politics and there’s nothing wrong with it. Some aspects of old-school politicking have gone out of style. Blaring sound trucks: we won’t miss them.

On the down side, we don’t see as many all-candidates meetings as we used to, nor do we see as many rallies. Candidates now use the Internet to get their messages out. You can look at their web pages to see who they are and what they think. This

has the great advantage to the candidates of being able to get their ideas out to you unfiltered by news media and with no one debating them, as at an all-candidates meeting. It’s a disadvantage to you, the voter, but you do have a chance to find out more when the candidates knock on our door.

Not all the traditional methods of doing politics deserve to survive, however. This point was underlined the other day in a newspaper photograph showing Green party leader Elizabeth May and a local candidate standing on a street corner in Guelph, waving at cars.

Waving at cars. From the first time I saw, maybe 20 years ago, it has always mystified me. What possible effect could it have, other than distracting drivers and causing an accident?

But some smart person must have thought otherwise. Perhaps he envisioned a motorist thinking: “Oh,

nice! Elizabeth May waved at me.

That does it. I’m voting Green.�

So far I haven’t seen any candidates out near the airport waving at planes, but that could come next.

Anything can happen in a democracy.

Link would serve development of Defence medical lands: Cloutier Continued from Page 1

The meeting included information about three road connection options that would tie in the new route to Ring Road at the hospital complex, where CHEO and the Ottawa Hospital’s General campus are located.

“We understand that people are still upset, but we’re just trying to make the best of a bad situation,” said Kris Nanda, president of the Riverview Park Community Association, which hosted the Sept. 16 meeting.

The reason for the new twolane $69.7-million Hospital Link, which is being built from Riverside Drive and the Transitway, across Alta Vista Drive to Ring Road, is to improve bus and ambulance service to the hospitals and alleviate traffic congestion.

The new route will also feature transit lanes, and will require a bypass of a Via rail line.

The connection options include a T-stop or roundabout at the west end of Ring Road, as well as a third option farther east behind the complex, known as the mid-way connection.

“We’re hoping to have that (decision) finalized with the hospital in the next couple of months,” said city engineer Bruce Kenny, who is managing the construction project.

Construction of the connector would begin in 2016 or 2017.

There are no plans to open the Ring Road hospital connector until the connection at Riverside Drive is complete, so as to keep traffic from flooding onto Alta Vista Drive in the meantime. The entire link will open in fall 2017.

The third option raised the hackles of several residents since it would essentially be built, not only to serve hospital traffic, but also to hook up to the future Alta Vista Transportation Corridor. The four-lane thoroughfare would run from the north end of Conroy Road at Walkley Road, through green space, curve around the hospital complex and link up to Nicholas Road at Highway 417.

Several community associations have been against the corridor plan since the concept was first pitched in the 1960s.

Riverview Park residents have long said it would bring more traffic and noise to their community, pose a safety risk for children, and eliminate a big chunk of their green space – similar to the link, which they

also say will not serve them.

Motorists heading south on Alta Vista Drive will not be permitted to turn left onto the new link into the complex.

Alta Vista Coun. Jean Cloutier said the route is designed to serve the hospitals’ patients, several hundred volunteers and 7,000 staff members, the majority of whom come from outside the ward.

With the new road, motorists coming in from the Queensway will choose Riverside Drive over Alta Vista Drive, he said.

“It’ll be much faster and it’ll alleviate traffic on Alta Vista.”

“There hasn’t been the consultation.

We’re glad that we finally had this meeting.”

KIRS NANDA, PRESIDENT, RIVERVIEW PARK COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION

Though included in the city’s transportation master plan, there are no intentions to build the corridor until after 2031, though city council could amend that.

“If the (corridor) project ever did proceed under separate council approval ... then that connection would be there,” Kenny said. “But that’s post2031 planning horizon.”

Like Riverview Park residents, those living in Old Ottawa East share similar concerns that the new link won’t benefit them and will funnel more traffic downtown.

Though paid for by development charges, the link is “very expensive and a real concern is that if they do that, they’ll want to do the whole darn thing, which, from our (Old Ottawa East’s) standpoint, Sandy Hill’s standpoint and really from the city’s standpoint, doesn’t make a lot of sense,” said John Dance, president of the Ottawa East Community Association, who did not attend the recent meeting.

If built, the corridor would span the Rideau River and end in Old Ottawa East, eradicating a treasured recreational green space and cutting off apartment towers on Lees Avenue from the rest of the community, Dance said.

“When the Hospital Link’s done after they spend this $70million, we’ll see what sort of impact that really has and we’ll

see if there’s really a lot of use of it,” he said. “I think it’s going to be extraordinarily expensive for relatively little use and if that’s the case, it’ll be one more reason not to proceed with any additional parts of (the corridor).”

Though there are three Ring Road connection options to choose from, the city is currently not leaning toward the mid-way connection.

“The community has no desire to do that. It’s still an option, but it’s not really our preferred option,” Kenny said, adding that while the hospital has indicated that option works for them, the other options also work.

“If it doesn’t work for the community, it’s something we need to discuss,” he said.

The Hospital Link is currently being built through a green space and hydro-line route between Riverview Park and the hospital. More of that strip, including a heavily forested section, would be further eradicated if the mid-way connection goes ahead.

“It doesn’t make sense to destroy a significant parcel of forested green space for a project that wouldn’t be on the books until at least 2031,” Nanda said.

“2031’s a long way away. The rest of it (the corridor), we hope, will never be built.”

Residents also got a look at proposed multi-use pathways that would be built as part of the Hospital Link, but which can’t be finalized until a Ring Road connection design is chosen.

They also learned their feedback will be sought on the link’s landscape design.

“During our tender period, we realized that maybe all the healing hadn’t happened in the community,” said Kenny, of the reason why the landscaping contract was separated from the link construction contract.

“We didn’t feel that there necessarily hadn’t been enough dialogue.”

Nanda said the last time there was a public meeting on the Hospital Link was in 2014, and before that, it had been at least five or six years.

“I think that’s been one of the reasons why there has been a lot of concern,” Nanda said. “There hasn’t been the consultation.

We’re glad that we finally had this meeting.”

NATIONAL DEFENCE LANDS

The link will also be wellsituated to serve a future devel-

opment at the Canadian Forces Health Care Centre Ottawa at Alta Vista and Valour drives, said Cloutier.

National Defence is looking to sell its former medical site, now used for administration.

The city last looked in 2008 at how it could rezone the property before it goes on the open market

“That will have to be refreshed,” said Cloutier, adding it will be at least five years before that parcel changes hands.

“The hospital has some interest,” he said, adding the neighbourhing hospital complex, which includes the University of Ottawa’s Faculty of Medicine, is the largest hospital complex in Canada.

There is enough space at the military site for 700 residential units, but it may be better suited for a mixed-use development with medical capabilities, Cloutier suggested.

“Is that the best use of that land or should it be maybe be more angled towards research, more institutional?” he said.

“Does the hospital need this?”

LiveWorkPlay non-profit expands, relocates to Billings Bridge Book launch marks 20th anniversary Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland

It takes courage to fail and take risks to achieve success.

Just ask Keenan Wellar.

Over the past two decades,

LiveWorkPlay has been working to ensure Ottawans with intellectual disabilities live their lives like everyone else, connecting them with meaningful employment, housing that allows them to live independently, social opportunities and recreational leagues that are welcoming.

Over the past 20 years, seri-

ous positive inroads have been made in securing opportunities for people, many of them living with Down syndrome, chromosomal disorders such as fragile X or Q22, autism or a generalized intellectual disability.

“We don’t want what we do to be innovative. We want it to be routine,” said Wellar, coleader and communications di-

Work currently iden fied as part of the project includes re-grading Morrena Road, reconstruc on of the Morrena Road roadway structure, installa on of an underground stormwater major drainage network and installa on of a stormwater management pond adjacent to the Hazeldean Library.

Currently, the project is proposed to be constructed in two phases under one contract. Construc on Phase 1 is scheduled for spring 2016 with the installa on of a stormwater management pond adjacent to the Hazeldean Library. Construc on Phase 2 is scheduled for summer 2016 with the installa on of an underground stormwater major drainage network, as well as re-grading and reconstruc on of the Morrena Road roadway structure. Construc on phasing has been developed to mi gate impacts to the daily rou ne of the Glen Cairn Public School during the ac ve school year.

Subject to comments received as a result of this No ce and receipt of necessary approvals, the City of O awa intends to proceed with the comple on of the detailed design, tendering and construc on of this project.

In March of 2011, major drainage improvements within the Morrena Road area were approved as part of the Glen Cairn Flood Inves ga ons Environmental Study Report. Due to a change in stormwater conveyance strategy as well as re-grading works along Morrena Road, an addendum to the original Environmental Study Report has been prepared which details the planning process used to iden fy the preferred Morrena Road major drainage design.

rector of the charitable organization, which he founded with his wife, Julie Kingstone.

The non-profit’s story is featured on the pages of Wellar’s new book, “The Courage to Fail, the Will to Succeed: Twenty Years of the LiveWorkPlay Experience,” which was launched on Sept. 8 at the LiveWorkPlay’s new headquarters at 300-2197 Riverside Dr. The gathering, which drew Mayor Jim Watson and Alta Vista Coun. Jean Cloutier, is the final event marking the organization’s 20th anniversary this year.

“The title is intended to reflect the interdependence between the LiveWorkPlay organization and the people who have placed their trust in our abilities,” Wellar wrote in the book’s introduction. “We have indeed taken risks as an agency, often resulting in disappointment or failure. From these struggles we have learned, improved, and often succeeded.

The same is true of the people we have had the privilege of supporting.”

It’s been a time of change for LiveWorkPlay, including a big move in June to the Billings Bridge area from Michael Street.

“We are growing and basically within the building we were in there weren’t any expansion opportunities,” Wellar said, adding they had to make more room for 14 full-time staff, up from 11 – a response to new funding from Ontario’s Ministry of Community and Social Services.

Most staff work out in the community, supporting about 100 people.

Growth means being able to help more people, from young adults to baby boomers.

“It’s been a great year,” said Wellar.

It’s also a reflection of the demand for additional support and services, which is enormous.

“It’s a big problem. It’s not a good statistic,” he said. “Provincewide, depending on who you talk to, they say there’s 14,000 people waiting or 20,000 people waiting.”

In Ottawa, the need “is significant,” with more than 100 people urgently waiting for assistance. There are also hundreds more waiting for support.

Depending on their needs, they may have to wait for

This year has been one of milestones and change for LiveWorkPlay, a charitable organization that helps people with intellectual disabilities lead inclusive lives.

Grace Maher and her son Scott, who has benefited from the non-profit’s services over the past decade, attended LiveWorkPlay’s book launch on Sept. 8, marking its 20th anniversary. years.

“We can’t yet anticipate the day when we can help everybody who would like our help,” Wellar said.

About 150 volunteers are at the heart of LiveWorkPlay, many of whom are matched with clients who have similar interests. The non-profit organizes social meet-ups every Friday – about 300 a year – during which small groups go out to watch a hockey or football game, or another social activity.

Already, LiveWorkPlay has built a solid roster of employers who employ a number of clients, and it continues to reach out to more to find the right services and programs that best meet people’s occupational, recreational and social needs.

“YMCA is a worthy example of an organization that has

worked with us,” Wellar said.

“They’re asking us ‘What are things that we can do differently so this person is not isolated, discouraged, discriminated in any way within the experience of our environment?’

“It’s one venue at a time, helping places become welcoming and appreciative of this population.”

The book is a celebration of the inroads the organization has made, especially within the past five years.

“We were really finally making it happening,” said Wellar.

“We got to where we were living out the original vision and getting the results. It’s a really good segue into the next 20 years.”

Staff

My Council colleagues and I have tried to find the balance between being fiscally prudent today, while making the necessary investments for tomorrow. All while doing so in a way that is reasonable and predictable for Ottawa’s residents.

We wanted to ensure that tax increases did not far outstrip the rate of inflation. We also didn’t want to promise tax cuts which while sounding great, would mean cuts to the essential services that residents deserve and expect.

What I first ran for Mayor in 2010 I committed to not raising taxes by more than 2.5% in any year. This past year, I was once again elected as Mayor and I furthered my commitment to affordable living through lowering this cap to 2.0%.

As you can see from the chart, since I became Mayor in 2010, this was a promise that I maintained and one which I have no plans to break any time soon.

Paired with this tax cap, was a change I brought to the budgeting process whereby if an elected official wanted to add something to the budget, they had to find a corresponding offset. Previous Councils would table a budget, then add, add, and add some more, without reductions and suddenly a 4 or 5 percent tax increase was now being passed.

Forcing this kind of discipline on ourselves, and on the City’s department heads, has kept this Council accountable and causes us scrutinize the City’s spending more closely. The result is lowered tax rate changes and a Council that has learned to live within its means.

We have also changed our consultation process to give you, the tax-payer, a more accessible and prominent role in our budget process to ensure your priorities are heard. To that end, we hosted public consultations in the East, West, South, and Central parts of our city. We also introduced a “Tele-Town Hall” where residents were able to call-in to voice their priorities and concerns before the budget was tabled.

City Council has set a solid fiscal framework when it assumed office last year and will continue on our promise of prudent financial management. We will continue to deliver a predictable tax rate that also allows us to provide high quality services and opportunities for Ottawa families to flourish.

I will be encouraging my colleagues to stay the course, keeping taxes below 2% and making the necessary changes to ensure our city remains in good financial health.

City cabbies want fairer rules in wake of Uber Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

About 60 Ottawa taxi drivers gathered at City Hall on Sept. 16 to protest Uber’s impact on their industry, but as the cabbies vented to the media it became clear there’s more to the anger than just that.

Uber X, the ride-sharing mobile phone app the city’s bylaw department is treating as an illegal taxicab company, has been cutting into traditional taxi drivers’ share of the market since it arrived in Ottawa last fall.

But that’s just the icing on a cake that’s been baking for

years, as regulations and fees pile up on legal taxi drivers, according to Capital Taxi driver Fawaz Moussa.

He said cabbies are furious that Uber drivers are taking their business without having to jump through the same costly hoops taxi drivers must deal with.

Cabbies must be licensed, first of all, which involves taking a course, getting a criminal background check and providing a statement of driving record, on top of paying an annual fee to the city, a cost of more than $200.

Then they must buy or rent their taxi plate for the year, as

well, which could cost another $500, and maintain taxicab insurance.

Moussa said he continues to pay all of this out of pocket, while he watches Uber drive off with his customers – literally.

“I was sitting outside the Hilton Garden (hotel) for two hours, and then Uber comes along and gets a guy and drives away,” he said.

Moussa said business is already down by 33 per cent during the day, and as much as 70 per cent at night.

Protesters get their point across at City Hall WORKING TOGETHER

Continued from page 12

“There’s no business,” Moussa said. “Sometimes we take home $100 at the end of the day.”

Moussa’s complaints were echoed by Atik Ullah, a Blueline driver, who said he favours stripping down the current regulations and fees when the city reviews its taxi bylaw this fall.

That review has been expedited in light of the growing tension between Uber and traditional drivers, which culminated in an amateur YouTube video released in early September showing a cab driver berating an Uber driver and his customer.

But if the city’s bylaw review ends up accommodating Uber as a legal taxi company, that also puts pressure on traditional drivers, according to Fadl Hamade, who has driven for Blueline for the past decade.

Ottawa’s bylaw currently allows one licence per every 784 residents. But even then Hamade said there are very few clients to go around.

Flooding the market with more legal taxis is just going to make life worse for him and his colleagues, he predicted.

“Does the city really need more cabs?”

Hamade asked.

Acting deputy city manager Susan Jones met with Unifor’s local taxi president Amrik Singh, during the protest.

They both called the meeting “productive,” but Singh said he continues to push the city to enforce its own laws in the name of public safety.

“Something is going to happen when you have unsafe, uninsured, illegal service going on,” Singh said.

“We are going to have to go out and say, ‘We told you, and you did nothing.’”

So far the city has laid 148 charges against 64 Uber drivers, according to Jones – and more charges could be coming as bylaw and police continue to monitor the mobile ride-sharing app.

Regardless of the results of the bylaw review due this December, Jones said the city’s focus remains on customer safety.

“We are concerned about lack of insurance, lack of criminal background check, is the vehicle safe,” she said. “Hopefully, we’ll be able to come up with new and revised regulations that will ensure everybody’s getting a safe ride.”

Cabbie protest injunction sought Staff

The City of Ottawa and the Ottawa Airport Authority are joining forces to keep the Airport Parkway free of taxi protesters.

Staff from both organizations plan to ask the courts for an injunction to “restrain members of the taxi union from blocking the Airport Parkway or engaging in other unlawful conduct as part of their protests or picketing activity,” according to city solicitor Rick O’Connor.

The airport taxi protest began on Aug. 11 after taxi dispatcher Coventry Connections raised airport pickup fees and axed drivers’ exclusive right to pick up airport passengers.

Members of Unifor local

1688 began protesting loudly on airport property, but a court injunction from the airport authority put an end to that after several days.

The protesters then moved to the public parkway, where they backed up traffic by “rolling” down the major road at 20 kilometres an hour.

Picketers have lined the road near the airport almost every day since then.

In mid-September the protests erupted into violence when some picketers smashed the back window of a Blueline cab while a passenger was in the back seat.

A police investigation is ongoing.

O’Connor wrote in an email that the city and the airport “respect the union’s

constitutional rights to engage in peaceful picketing and protest as part of a labour dispute,” but that those rights don’t extend to blocking public roads or inciting violence.

“While both the city and airport authority are not parties to the labour dispute between Unifor and the employer, they have had to endure the bulk of the disruption that has been caused by the protests,” O’Connor wrote. “These protests have been ongoing now for a considerable period of time and caused serious interference with the public’s use of the Airport Parkway.”

According to O’Connor, a decision on the court order is expected on Wednesday.

All-candidates’ federal debate in the works for Ottawa South riding

Councillor/Conseillère Quartier Gloucester-Southgate Ward

Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Have a burning question?

Need clarification? Puzzled by an element of a party’s platform?

Candidates seeking to represent the Ottawa South riding will be in the hot seat at an allcandidates’ debate on Oct. 8.

The public forum is being co-hosted by five community associations representing Canterbury, Alta Vista, Riverview Park, Faircrest Heights and Hunt Club, as well as the SouthEast Ottawa Community Health Centre.

Not only are they sharing the cost of putting on the debate, which includes renting the space and securing sound equipment, but also in promoting the all-candidate forum to voters in their local neighbourhoods.

Residents, and even some candidates, have been asking whether a debate is in the works, which is a good sign, said John Marshall, president of

the Canterbury Community Association, which has organized candidates’ debates in the leadup to past provincial and federal elections.

BIG BUZZ

“I have no doubt that we’re going to fill that auditorium quite easily,” he said.

“There’s a lot of interest in this election. It’s the first time in a long time that we’ve seen a legitimate three-way race in the country, which interests a lot of people.

“There’s a bit of a buzz. Now whether that translates into people actually leaving their couches and going to the voting booth – that remains to be seen,” said Marshall.

Debates can help make that happen.

John Sankey, president of the Hunt Club Community Organization, which is involved in co-hosting the Ottawa South debate, said the event will allow people to get a better sense of

SHOW TIME

Doors to the debate will open at 6:30 p.m. to give voters a chance to meet the candidates

and their campaign teams in the school’s foyer. Candidates will take the stage at 7 p.m., and each will have two minutes to give opening remarks before a question-and-answer session begins.

Each of the sponsoring organizations will ask a question, before questions will be taken from the floor.

“How exactly that’s going to look like we have to talk to the moderator and see what they think,” Marshall said. “We have some ideas.”

At a provincial candidates’ debate last year, attendees were each given a number if they had a question they wanted answered. Those whose numbers were randomly drawn were then able to ask their question.

“It worked in some ways, but it really slowed things down getting people into the auditorium,” he said, referring to the handing out of numbers at the door.

“Probably the majority of those who vote make up their minds at the national level, given the total concentration of most press on the leaders,” Sankey said in an email.

“But there are still some of us who want to send someone to represent us whom we feel is like us, someone we can trust as a person,” he said. “And for these people, the riding debate is crucial. It’s the chance they get to see the candidates speak, act and stand up to (or not) other candidates.”

Some people may attend out of plain curiosity, which is fine, too.

“And we can hope that some of them decide to vote that otherwise would probably have skipped it,” Sankey said.

One possible option is randomly choosing people in the audience who are itching to ask a question.

“And then it’s up to the moderator to make sure that the question is relevant,” Mar-

Organizers are in the process of finalizing who will moderate the debate.

“Sometimes these things can be a little bit charged, so we needed to find someone who is a little more adept at

handling that,” he said.

After the Q&A session, each candidate will be given time for a two-minute closing statement before the candidate forum concludes.

Upcoming Infrastructure Improvements in Ward 22 This fall, the city will be renewing three culverts on River Road between Tewsley Drive and Leitrim Road.

Due to the depth of the existing culvert and the extent of buried utilities and infrastructure that surrounds it, River Road will close for one week to expedite this culvert replacement. Traffic will be detoured via Earl Armstrong, Limebank Road and Leitrim Road. Advanced signage will be put in place to notify residents of the road closure. A notice will also to be delivered to residents along River Road (between Leitrim and Earl Armstrong) and to the adjacent neighbourhoods in advance of the work.

Conservation Authorities Act Under Review In order to ensure that the Conservation Authority Act is meeting the needs of Ontarians in a modern context, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF) recently announced the review of the Act. The MNRF has posted a discussion paper that solicits feedback around three areas of interest: governance, funding mechanisms, and roles and responsibilities of Conservation Authorities.

Take Back the Night is an international event and non-profit organization with the mission of ending sexual violence in all forms. Hundreds of events are held in over 30 countries annually and it has made its way to Ottawa. There will be a rally on September 24th at Minto Park starting at 6 pm, where a march at 6:45pm will take place, followed by a gathering at City Hall at 8 pm.

More than 200 people gathered in the rain on Sept. 12 to sign a piece of paper near a Barrhaven rugby pitch where Rowan Stringer once played the sport.

Among them were athletes, coaches, parents – including Rowan’s parents Gordon and Kathleen Stringer – and Rugby Canada representatives.

An inquest into Rowan’s death earlier in 2015 concluded that the teen succumbed to second impact syndrome, a rare but deadly brain condition brought about by successive concussions in a short period of time.

It also proposed 49 recommendations to prevent similar deaths in the future, including enacting Rowan’s Law. Nepean-Carleton Progressive Conservative MPP Lisa McLeod – a sponsor of the proposed bill – believes that the success of the Sept. 12 event bodes well for Rowan’s Law. An online petition launched the same day boasted 600 signatures by evening. By the next morning, there were more than 1,000.

Ottawa refugee shelter gets a boost Alex Robinson

alex.robinson@metroland.com

Peace winces when she is asked why she left her native Rwanda.

The memory is too painful for her and even the people who helped her through some of her first months in Canada do not know the full story.

She asked that an alias be used for this story to protect her identity.

Peace came to Ottawa in 2013 and lived in shelters until she found Carty House, a Sandy Hill shelter for women who have fled violence or persecution in their homelands and come to Canada as refugees.

The shelter helped her find her way in Canada, teaching her to write and aiding her to apply to the University

of Ottawa, where she is now studying accounting. Peace first moved into Carty House in January 2014 and left this past July.

She is one of more than 100 refugees who have come through Carty House’s doors, since the shelter opened in 2001.

Fundraising

The Sandy Hill shelter was set to hold a fundraiser at the Green Door restaurant, at 198 Main St., earlier this week on Sept. 21. All proceeds from the fundraiser were to go to support the shelter, which offers much more than a roof to sleep under, said Jacqueline Romero, one of Carty House’s coordinators.

Most of the women staying at Carty House have submitted a claim as a refugee and are waiting for a hearing to get asylum. While they wait, Carty House helps with a variety of services depending on their needs.

The shelter offers a variety of workshops that help refugees adjust to life in Canada.

“We try to facilitate as many activities as possible to show them different sides of what Canadian life can be,” Romero said.

The shelter, which has space for 10 women at a time, has a car, which staff uses to drive refugees to hearings in Montreal, as hearing rooms were all relocated away from Ottawa in 2012.

Carty House residents do have to

pay rent, but it is heavily subsidized.

Residents are given tasks and chores to do around the house.

The shelter’s residents typically stay for up to a year. Carty House encourages residents to engage with each other seeing as they are going through similar circumstances, Romero said.

“People are encouraged to talk around the table to support each other,” Romero said. “They’re all going through similar things at different stages. So it helps to foster community.”

Carty House helps women transition into rooming houses or market rate housing if they have steady pay when they leave.

“There are a lot of little things that need to happen along the way before somebody feels comfortable stepping out on their own and we’re available every step of the way,” Romero said.

Peace said she could not thank the

staff at Carty House enough for what they did for her.

“They have been there. Any time I have ever needed information, they’ve been there,” she said.

“They were a blessing for me.”

As the Syrian refugee crisis has gripped the attention of the western world in recent weeks, Carty House has seen an increase in donations and interest, Romero said.

“It seems to be the start of a trend of what’s happening worldwide,” she said.

“People want to provide a local impact to that situation. From what I’ve seen so far it’s small, but I think it’s going to build up in the coming weeks.”

The small but growing organization welcomes all financial donations, volunteers, as well as food and furniture.

Budget 2016 Consultation River Ward residents are warmly invited to attend a special 2016 Budget Townhall meeting being held on Tuesday, October 6 at the Jim Durrell Recreation Centre (1265 Walkley Rd) from 6:30-8:30pm. Together with Mayor Watson and south-end Councillors Diane Deans, Jean Cloutier, and David Chernushenko, we will present the draft 2016 budget overview. Sharing your priorities helps me better understand the needs in River Ward.

How can the City save money or provide services in a different manner? Where does the City need to focus greater attention and resources? If you can’t attend the consultation night, please send your thoughts to me by email. Information on the 2016 Budget can be found on the City website at www.ottawa.ca/Budget2016.

Riverside Park AGM The Riverside Park Community and Recreation Association (RPCRA) will host their AGM on Wednesday, October 7, starting at 7pm at the Riverside Churches.

I will be in attendance and will summarize the main issues that I addressed in 2015 and identify the issues I foresee that will require our attention in 2016. I encourage you to attend the AGM. The Ottawa Police will discuss traffic safety and speed enforcement in Riverside Park, followed by the lead City Planner who is spearheading the Airport Parkway widening study. His presentation will focus on the proposal to build a south-bound off-ramp at Walkley Road.

Tree Planting in Local Parks Ernie Calcutt Park and Marble Park, both in the Riverside Park neighbourhood, will receive a significant addition of new trees this autumn. 800 new native trees are slated for Ernie Calcutt, while Marble will receive 1,500. This is a result of a significant reduction in trees this past winter due to the emerald ash borer infestation. Approximately one dozen species of trees will compose the mixture of new trees.

Heron Emergency Food Centre Walkathon Did you know that the Heron Emergency Food Centre (HEFC) supports residents in the Ridgemont, Riverside Park and Hunt Club communities? This centre has been helping residents with emergency food supplies for over 25 years. Each year they help approximately 16,000 individuals, making HEFC one of the largest food banks in Ottawa. Please consider supporting their Walkathon this Saturday, September 26. For more information and to donate, please visit www.hefc.ca.

Ward Office Doubles Hours The River Ward office at the Hunt Club Riverside Park Community Centre is now open twice a week. In addition to being open on Fridays, we are now also open on Tuesdays. Sarah Barber manages the local office and I will be working there on Fridays. Residents are encouraged to pop in and say hello and for more formal discussions, to book an appointment by calling 613-580-2486.

Community outreach is very important to me. If you would like to meet with me to discuss any matter, simply contact me to arrange a time.

First in Canada if new law Police nab eventually takes effect alleged Continued from page 18

It would also require game officials to remove any player suspected of having a concussion until cleared to play by a medical doctor.

If Rowan’s Law is passed, the province will become the first in Canada to have legislation for concussion prevention and safety. McLeod plans to present the bill to the Ontario Legislature this fall, with support from Liberal MPP John Fraser and New Democrat MPP Catherine Fife.

“I’m working with the Liberals and the New Democrats to ensure that we have a bill that we can pass,” McLeod said. “One that meets the constitutional requirements and can work effectively across multiple government departments.”

For some of the law’s supporters, a key function of the petition, and the push to pass the legislation, is to get people thinking and talking about concussion prevention. For this reason, McLeod said she doesn’t mind if the process for presenting the law is a lengthy one.

“The longer the bill is actually before the floor of the assembly, the more opportunities we will have as MPPs and supporters of Rowan’s Law to talk about it and talk about its need,” she said. “And encourage those who

may be suffering from a concussion to get checked out, take themselves out of play and seek medical help.”

For Gordon Stringer, talk means education, and education means prevention.

“It’s quite important that the kids and the athletes themselves get an education as to how serious it can be and what an insidious thing a concussion really is,” Stringer said. “Right now, in the curriculum in schools, there really isn’t anything that’s mandatory around education for concussion and concussion symptoms and awareness.”

It is also fitting, Stringer said, that a law designed to protect the health and lives of young athletes would have his daughter as its namesake. Rowan aspired to become a nurse and work at CHEO or The Hospital for Sick Children. She had committed to spending the summer of 2013 assisting with relief work in Africa. Caring for others was her calling.

“She’d definitely be pleased that the ultimate goal is to help children, help kids in sports to have a safer environment and to understand the risks,” Stringer said. “We’re looking at this as her helping people, and we’re just a conduit for doing it.”

Police busted an alleged human trafficking ring on Sept. 15 that was operating out of massage parlours in the ByWard Market and Nepean.

Police arrested a 33-year-old Ottawa and charged him with 76 offenses, including trafficking in persons, after they raided three different locations on Merivale Road, York Street and Charles Street. Police found four female victims during the search, who they then interviewed.

“In late April 2015, an organized prostitution/human trafficking operation was discovered by the human trafficking unit during a joint community safety project focusing on massage parlours,” said Sgt. Jeff Leblanc, of the human trafficking unit.

“A follow-up investigation identified links between several locations which advertised sexual services.”

Police also seized $14,000 in cash and arrested a woman who was later released without charge.

Ottawa firefighters attended a fire at 6374 Mary Jane Crescent that started in a garage at a townhome end unit on Sept. 12.

The complex, which is right off Innes Rd., is a two-storey, sevendoor town home complex.

There were visible flames when firefighters arrived in the early evening.

It was determined to be a fire in a garage that had a vehicle parked in it.

The damage was estimated at $200,000, including to the car.

One adult and one adolescent were displaced.

Comeback kids? Students could vote in bigger numbers this election Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

Living on campus is like living in a bubble: almost everything you need is in one place, unless of course, you need a case of beer.

So perhaps it’s no surprise that university and college students traditionally don’t participate as much as the rest of the country when it comes to electing our federal government.

According to Elections Canada, turnout among voters aged 18 to 24 was only 38.8 per cent in 2011, compared to 61.1 per cent of the overall population.

That’s not for lack of trying. As in 2011, student associations at schools like Carleton University, the University of Ottawa and Algonquin College will be encouraging students to vote by showing them how to register, how to prove their address on campus and offering all-candidates debates conveniently right at school.

But the youth vote may be making a comeback even without those perky poster campaigns and info booths in the student centre lobbies.

According to political reporter Paul Adams, an associate professor in Carleton’s journalism program, federal issues may finally be capturing the youth imagination after 40 years of agendas dominated by the baby boomers.

“The generations after the baby boomers, the Gen Xers and the Millenials, are starting to form a substantial part of the electorate,” Adams said. “(In previous elections) young peopled looked at the political landscape and said, ‘Gee, they’re not talking about my issues.’ As those proportions shift, as the generations after the boomers are accumulating greater weight, the issues that are of greater concern to them are beginning to appear on the political agenda.”

You can see it, Adams said, in the Liberals’ focus on public transit infrastructure; in the Conservative consumer protections push for cell phone and Internet users; in the NDP’s national child care program and, of course, in the Green party’s promise for free university and college education.

The Green pledge was particularly

telling of a potential shift in messaging.

“It was phrased in a way that was clearly meant to appeal to young people,” Adams said.

NDP candidate Paul Dewar and Conservative candidate Damian Konstantinakos, both running in the riding of Ottawa Centre, which includes Carleton University, are both actively pursuing the youth vote.

They said the fate of the economy is a major issue among students, who are worried about the jobs when they graduate.

“They want to be able to work anywhere in this country. They understand the importance of a pro-job strategy,” Konstantinakos said.

“And what about things like access to the Internet?” Dewar added.

“More than any demographic, it’s the young people who have been talking about things like net neutrality.”

With this in mind, tools such as social media networks have become a key part of campaign strategies to reaching young voters, who Adams said are not as easily reached by TV ads, land-line telemarketing and

snail mail.

“They’ve cut the cord,” Adams said. “The parties hope that through Twitter and Facebook and Instagram they can reach this demographic.

(But) we won’t know until election night the degree to which young people respond to that.”

CAMPUS CAMPAIGNS

The Carleton University Student Association (CUSA) and Algonquin College’s student association have both planned all-candidates debates on their campuses ahead of Oct. 19.

At Carleton, CUSA’s student issues vice-president Maddie Adams has developed a three-pronged approach to getting out the vote.

It starts with a voter starter kit using Elections Canada information, to help new students learn how to register, how to vote in their hometown riding or to prove their new residence in Ottawa, and where to go on Oct. 19.

“The students interested in voting might give up if they find it to be more than one step,” Adams said.

“It’s on CUSA to educate students on how to vote, and then the onus is on the students to go and vote.”

The second part of her strategy is a social media campaign, beginning with a voter flash mob at the end of September, inspired by comedian Rick Mercer’s challenge to young voters in 2011.

“It’s a fun social media thing reminding students to vote and that their voice has an impact,” she said.

The main event will be an all-candidates debate on campus on Tuesday, Sept. 29, which will focus on youth and education. So far all six of Ottawa Centre’s candidates are slated to come; the downtown riding has representatives from the four major parties, as well as a Libertarian and a Communist.

The week leading up to the debate will include information booths to help students register and get the documents they need in order to vote in the local riding.

“For most students it’s their first time voting in a federal election, so we’re trying to make it sound exciting, to make it cool,” Adams said.

Dump truck rolls over injuring driver

Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

The 36-year-old driver of a dump truck that rolled over in the 5000block of Hawthorne Rd. suffered serious head injuries.

Ottawa paramedics were called to an industrial waste facility off Hawthorne Road on Sept. 22 at 9:31 a.m.

J.P. Trottier, Ottawa paramedic spokesman, said the driver “was un-

conscious when his co-workers got to him, and had regained consciousness prior to arrival by paramedics.”

He was in and out of consciousness at the scene, and was admitted to the trauma centre at the Ottawa Hospital’s Civic campus in serious condition.

The Ministry of Labour is investigating with assistance by Ottawa police, said police spokesman Const.

Marc Soucy.

OSU is pleased to announce that Gina Pacheco will be joining our coaching staff, effective September 15th, 2015.

Pacheco is well known within Canadian soccer after breaking through with the Canadian National Women’s program while serving as captain of the University of South Florida where she attended for 4 years while on full scholarship.

In addition to her illustrious playing background, she also holds her Pre-B provincial certification in coaching and is a certified teacher with Bachelor degrees in Teacher Education and Health Science In joining OSU, Pacheco will now have the opportunity to bring her international experience to the female athletes within our talented pathway. She will serve as an assistant coach to our Ontario Player Development League (OPDL) elite teams while also working with our Under 9-U10 Girls program.

Pacheco is also an important addition in OSU solidifying its position as one of Canada’s soccer leaders in developing women in coaching positions. “Our OSU 2010 five year strategic plan specifically called for developing female coaches. We are currently well ahead of our objectives and Gina is an important component in meeting this goal” said OSU President, Bill Michalopulos.

Ottawa South News - Thursday, September 24, 2015

Lora Bidner is as much a storyteller as she is a progressive folk singer-songwriter.

“That’s what I like to do,” said Bidner, a Canterbury High School grad and former Alta Vista resident.

“I really like … getting in the space of a character and writing about it. Most of the songs I write are less personal and more of a worldly aspect.”

Bidner’s creative talents are showcased on her first professional solo debut album, To the North, which will be officially released on Sept. 26 at LIVE! On Elgin.

On it, Bidner sings and plays piano, synthesizers, vibraphone, ukulele, eight-string ukulele and percussion, but piano tends to be her go-to instrument when an idea arises.

“I usually write as the mood strikes me,” she said, adding that this can occur at all hours.

“It usually happens (when) I’m brushing my teeth at 2 a.m. and then I get an idea and I run to the piano.”

However, there are times when lyrics prove a little more stubborn.

“It came down to the wire for the song, “I Awoke” on the album,” said Bidner, who took a year off to record her album after graduating from Carleton University with a bachelor’s degree in music.

“I had finished the chorus an hour before we had to go record it,” she said with a laugh. “I could not finish that song, and I knew what I wanted to say, but I didn’t know how to say it.”

“I Awoke” features a unique story, but is one she doesn’t want to publicly reveal in hopes that listeners can guess who and what it is about.

That’s only part of her ninetrack album’s charm.

“She uses these (musical) talents to full effect, evoking atmospheric and idiosyncratic artists such as Imogen Heap, Regina Spektor and Florence and the Machine,” according to a media release announcing Biden’s album launch.

“The album immediately grabs the listener as the jazzy,

COREY GRAHAM/SUBMITTED

Canterbury High School grad and former Alta Vista resident Lora Bidner is set to release her first professional debut solo album, ‘To the North,’ on Sept. 26. minimalist opening of “When We Were Young” builds into a stirring crescendo, then an increasingly furious piano solo and another mournful chorus.”

Bidner credits Canterbury High School in Alta Vista for giving her a strong music education, providing a haven where she could constantly create.

“Those foundations really prepared me and showed me what I love to do, gave me the outlet to go and do and do and do, without any fear,” said Bidner, who moved from Alta Vista to Rothwell Heights at 16.

Canterbury, where she studied violin, allowed her and her peers to push their creative boundaries, and was a place where it was “cool to sit and practice all the time,” said Bidner, who recently started her first year of graduate studies in music technology and digital media at the University of Toronto.

“Whereas before, in elementary school, I was kind of a nerd,” added Bidner, who recorded her first record, which she said was an unpolished work she recorded at home over a two-week period during her final year of high school.

To the North also features the talents of several former Canterbury students, including Dom Laporte, who provided the album art, cellist Raphael Weinroth-Browne, Natasha MacDon-

ald and Kiri-Christina Hauck on violin, and Mike Giamberardino on drums.

She also collaborated with Dean Watson, who played bass and mandolin and produced and recorded the album, as well as with spoken word artist Jamaal Jackson Rogers who performs under the name, JustJamaal.

Together, they created “Ignite,” a brand new song on the album. She wrote the chorus and Jamaal provided the verses.

“The first time we did a run through and improvised on both of our parts was actually the best take. It was what we felt and it was so cool.”

With just days to go before the album launches, Bidner said “it definitely needed to happen.”

“It’s going to be great to finally have something that I can show people and (say), ‘This is my music,’” she said. “For me, it is a milestone in my career.

How big a milestone it is I don’t know. I’m eager to see how far it can go.”

RELEASE PARTY

Bidner’s album release party takes place on Sept. 26 at LIVE! On Elgin, at 220 Elgin St. Doors open at 7 p.m. and the show begins at 7:30 p.m. Advance tickets are $12 and can be purchased at lorabidner.com. Tickets will be available at the door for $15.

Ottawa Art Gallery launches fundraising campaign Downtown gallery looks to raise $3.5 million Alex Robinson alex.robinson@metroland.com

The Ottawa Art Gallery is looking to raise $3.5 million for its expansion project.

The gallery is being expanded as part of a redevelopment project of the Arts Court on Daly Avenue. The project is set to expand the gallery to 5,860 square metres.

The newly expanded space will include studios, project galleries for emerging art-

ists, a permanent gallery for the organization’s Firestone Collection of Canadian Art and a discovery centre focused on the works of A.Y. Jackson.

“This project will further expand OAG’s influence by developing an institution that contributes to the vitality of Ottawa’s arts and culture for generations to come,” Mayor Jim Watson said in a press release.

“An expanded OAG will encourage economic development in Ottawa’s core by establishing this area as a renewed urban arts and cultural hub.”

The gallery has outgrown its old site, where there is space for only two per cent

of its collection to be on display for crowds that often spill out of the gallery.

The redevelopment of the Arts Court and the gallery is expected to cost $100 million combined, $41.7 million of which will come from city coffers.

Work started on the redevelopment of the site in early August and is scheduled to be done in time for the 150th anniversary of Canada’s confederation in 2017.

“When we open our doors in 2017, the gallery will be one city block dedicated to the arts – a space for all to meet, create and be inspired,” said Alandra Badzak, the gallery’s director and CEO.

“The Ottawa Art Gallery will become a central landmark that will afford the gallery the opportunity to truly take up the mantle as a leader in the arts community.”

The expansion will give the OAG the ability to enlarge its permanent collection on display and to host travelling art exhibitions.

In addition to funding part of the expansion, some of the money will go to programming.

The gallery held a kick off to celebrate the launch of the fundraising campaign on Sept. 17.

It has already reached more than half of its goal, having raised more than $2 million in donations to date.

Two men charged in fatal Gloucester stabbing Alex Robinson alex.robinson@metroland.com

Police have charged two Ottawa men in the stabbing death of a 17-year-old in Gloucester.

Keanu Croteau, 18, and Mohamed Hamade, 25, appeared in court Monday after they were charged with second degree murder.

The two men are accused

of stabbing Issaiah Clachar to death just after midnight on Sunday, in what the police said was not a random attack.

Police and paramedics were called to the 2000 block of Jasmine Crescent, where they found Clachar with multiple life-threatening stab wounds.

Clachar was rushed to the Children’s Hospital of East-

ern Ontario, where he later died.

A second victim – a 23year-old man – was also taken to a local hospital and was listed in serious but stable condition.

Croteau and Hamade are also facing attempted murder charges for the second victim.

The stabbing occurred on the same block that 18-year-

old Connor Stevenson was stabbed in April.

David Dubois, 19, was charged with second degree murder in connection to Stevenson’s death.

Police asked anyone with information about the incident to contact the major crime section at 613-2361222, ext. 5493. Anonymous tips can be submitted by calling Crime Stoppers at 613233-8477.

Flawed social assistance software on the mend SAMS progress steady, but still slow Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

Almost a year after the province rolled out its new social assistance software, Ottawa’s front-line workers are still scrambling to provide the bare minimum for their 30,000 clients.

Progress is being made to fix the bug-laden platform, but it will likely be another 18 months before they are back to the level of service

they provided before the software was introduced, social services manager Aaron Burry told the city’s community and protective services committee on Sept. 17.

The province’s new content management system for welfare programs, known as SAMS, was rolled out across Ontario on Nov. 12 last year. Since then, helping clients in the Ontario Works and Ontario Disability Support programs has become more difficult for the roughly 600 area social workers who don’t have enough training or the manpower to address the myriad problems that have cropped up.

“It’s basically the amount of time it takes to do things,

and the accuracy of that,” Burry said. “We might have been able to do a very routine intake in 30 minutes,

“To get back to where we were in social assistance, that’s going to take some time.”

Aaron Burry, social services manager

(but now) a very routine intake may still take us an hour.

It’s taking much longer to do those things.”

Something as simple as changing an address can still

throw the process off too; changing an application’s status has jumped from 12 mouse clicks in the old system to 140 in SAMS, for example.

It’s all staff can do to make sure assistance cheques go out on time, with the right amount of money. Just completing that most basic of functions has eaten up so much staff time that Burry said any efforts to actually get people off of social services – the department’s ultimate goal – have been shelved.

Employment workshops, detailed follow-ups to help clients find work, and other opportunities for face-time with case workers have largely been put on hold until the

system is manageable again.

“To get back to where we were in social assistance, that’s going to take some time,” Burry said.

FIXING THE BUGS

The province has made considerable headway in the past 10 months; about 95 per cent of the software’s bugs have been fixed now, with the final five per cent due to be cleared up by March 2016.

Burry said he’s encouraged by the fact that the province seems to be listening, and has at least committed to addressing these problems over the next year or so.

“There is some positive in that they recognize that there’s

some significant issues,” he said. “They’ve made progress over the summer, absolutely, and they’re now committed to making more progress.”

But what the province has not committed to do is cover the city’s costs for all its trouble. According to a staff report, the city will have paid about $1.5 million by the end of 2015 to deal with the botched rollout, including money for extra staff and to hire experts to help staff deal with the new interface.

So far the province has paid about $488,000 of that, with no promise to give the city any more, Burry said.

Implications for the city’s 2016 budget will be detailed in October.

Large bags, smoking not welcome at Canadian Tire Centre Brier Dodge

brier.dodge@metroland.com

Anyone who tries to bring in a large or hard-sided bag to a Senators game this season may get a nasty surprise.

As of Sept. 21, there will be a zero tolerance policy at the arena, and no bags will be let in that exceed the arena’s size restrictions.

“It’s mandated by the NHL,” was the mantra repeated by Ottawa Senators staff when asked about the bag policy, or questioned if the Sens were expecting hostile fans through the year.

Staff said the policy would be enforced strictly. While staff will be outside for the start of the season to potentially spot bags that are too large so patrons can return to their cars to drop off the offending carrying case, those who arrive at a game via OC Transpo with a bag that is too large will be out of luck.

Exceptions will be made for medical supply bags, but other than that, nothing larger than 12 inches by 12 inches

by 16 inches will be allowed into the arena. And, it has to be soft-sided.

That’s the maximum size bag that will fit under a seat during a game, staff said.

It’s expected there will be longer than usual lines as fans enter the arena and go through the new screening and metal detectors, but it’s expected the lines will die down as the season goes on and fans get used to the new policies.

And once fans are in, there won’t be any leaving, unless it’s an emergency. Needing to have a cigarette won’t count, and smokers won’t be allowed back in if they leave the building to smoke.

None of the policies are brand new or a surprise. During major events last year, fans weren’t allowed to go outside and smoke once the headline act took the stage.

The bag policy was also phased in over last year, with a bag check provided during the first few months as hockey fans got used to the new rules.

Sens LeBreton proposal on horizon despite CTC investments Brier Dodge

brier.dodge@metroland.com

Ottawa Senators president Cyril Leeder said if a move to Lebreton happens, it wouldn’t be for several years, so it’s still worth investing in the team’s existing facility.

Leeder said the NCC extended the date for submissions to Dec. 15 for development proposals for Lebreton Flats, and the Sens are working with a team of experts and consultants to

put together their proposal by that date.

“We’re pretty excited about it,” he said, adding not much else can be said due to the competitive process.

He said the timeline will

see submissions due in December, with public consultations scheduled in January followed by the NCC’s own review process. He said a decision is expected to be made in mid to late 2016.

R0013452393/0910

The Senators hosted media on Sept. 15 to show off $15-million in investments to the Canadian Tire Cen-

tre – the largest investment in about 20 years to the building that has had many names over the years – but that doesn’t mean a potential move to Lebreton Flats is off the table.

Alfie makes his return as Senators senior advisor Former captain to be exposed to ‘every area of the organization’: Sens GM Bryan Murray Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

Former Senators captain Daniel Alfredsson’s parting words to Ottawa fans last year have turned out to ring true.

“Let’s not say goodbye,” he said to a roaring crowd of fans at the Canadian Tire Centre on Dec. 4 after taking his last skate as a Senators player. “À bientôt,” he added.

The Ottawa Senators announced Alfredsson’s return to the franchise as the team’s senior advisor of hockey operations on Sept .18.

According to a Senators news release, the job entails advising the club’s GM Bryan Murray and supporting hockey operations at the NHL level, which will include scouting, player development duties and more.

The opportunity for Alfredsson is geared to giving him exposure to “most every area of the organization,” said Murray at a press conference he and Alfredsson held at the Canadian Tire Centre.

The pair said that, when it comes to evaluating players, sharing experience gleaned from many years in the NHL and providing leadership, Alfredsson will quickly make an impact. However, when it comes to things such as contracts and the behind-the-

scenes work that goes on, there will be a lot of learning to do.

But it’s all part of the opportunity, which Alfredsson said is both exciting and scary.

“The hardest part for me will be to learn the everyday stuff that goes on in the office.”

Daniel Alfredsson

“The exciting part is the games: watching the games and evaluating how the team is playing, which players are playing really well, following the young kids’ development.

That’s the best part for everybody, for the players, for the fans and I’m sure for management as well,” he said.

“The hardest part for me will be to learn the everyday stuff that goes on in the office, and I will try to be a pest and ask as many questions as I can and learn as much as I can,” said Alfredsson.

Neither he nor Murray would go into what the “senior advisor” position could lead into, though the Senators news release says he will work in the Senators hockey department during the 2015-16

season, making no mention of future seasons.

Alfredsson said the family will not be returning to Ottawa yet, adding “we will take this year and go from there.”

As for his relationship with Sens players, especially those who he played with before retiring, Alfredsson said those relationships won’t change too much.

“We are still on the same team, we care about each other and we are going to help each other and we want everybody to be as good as they can,” he said.

“So that’s where I will try to help when I see somebody maybe that’s struggling or I see somebody who can improve on a certain thing. Other than that, I don’t think much is going to change.”

Senators captain Erik Karlsson echoed that statement in his own way.

Asked whether he could see Alfredsson throw on some skates and get on the ice for a few practices, Karlsson replied, “I think he would be great at shuffling pucks around and picking them up after practice,” earning laughs from reporters.

Senators owner Eugene Melnyk, who said last Dec. 4 that the door was always open for Alfredsson to return as a member of the Sens staff,

Adam Kveton/Metroland

Daniel Alfredsson and Senators GM Bryan Murray discuss Alfredsson’s return during a press conference held at the Canadian Tire Centre on Sept. 18. Alfredsson will be the team’s senior advisor of hockey operations for the upcoming season. said in a news release that his hope is Alfredsson’s expertise could help the team to Stanley Cup glory.

“Daniel has been an exceptional part of our team’s history. He was a tremendous leader on the ice and equally in our community. I very much want him to continue to be part of our hockey club and our city,” said Melnyk.

“Bringing the Stanley Cup to Ottawa has always been my

focus, now more than ever,” he continued.

“I believe Daniel’s experience and track record as one of the elite players in our league will bring us closer to that goal.”

Melnyk was not available for the press conference.

Alfredsson formally announced his retirement last Dec. 4 after signing a one-day contract to retire as a Senator after spending 17 seasons as a

R0013457550-0917

Senator, and the 2013-14 season as a member of the Detroit Red Wings.

Alfredsson remains the Senators all- time leader in many categories, including goals (426), assists (682), points (1,108), had tricks (eight), and playoff games (121).

During the press conference, Murray referred to Alfredsson as “the greatest player and leader” in the history of the Senators franchise.

Elementary teachers reject province’s contract offer Work-to-rule campaign to ramp up if province doesn’t bend: ETFO Steph Willems

steph.willems@metroland.com

Parents of kids in elementary school won’t get to breathe the tentative sigh of relief that secondary school parents enjoyed last month.

Contract talks between the province, Ontario Public School Boards Association and Elementary teachers Federation of Ontario broke off on Sept. 11 after the offer presented to the ETFO was refused.

Public elementary teachers are currently on a work-to-rule campaign that dates to the end of the previous school year. And, while the action taken has been largely administrative in nature, ETFO president Sam Hammond cautioned that the work-to-rule campaign could ramp up in the wake of the latest impasse.

“We are prepared to escalate our strike action if there is no change on the part of the government and OPSBA,” said Hammond in a media release.

“Members have been very public in their support for the action in their schools and social media, which is a clear demonstration of their resolve to achieve an agreement that meets their needs and the needs of their students.”

On Sept. 18, an ETFO representative was reported in the media as saying that work-to-rule action would enter a third phase on Sept. 21 and that rotating strikes could begin in October if a deal isn’t reached.

According to Education Minister

the offer, accusing Wynne of playing politics with the bargaining process.

“Premier Wynne wants to impose another union’s deal on ETFO,” stated Hammond.

“She wants to impose a quick deal, Liz Sandals, the offer presented to not a reasonable deal for elementhe ETFO was identical to the offer tary teachers to help Mr. Trudeau’s presented – and tentatively accepted chances in the federal election …

ETFO is not prepared to accept a – by other teachers unions.

“We offered a complete settlement package, which includes a number of things the ETFO explicitly asked for … We’re certainly willing to discuss where it needs to be a little bit different (from the other deals),” said Sandals.

flawed deal that does not address our members’ needs and the needs of public elementary students in the long term, just to increase the Liberal Party’s chances in October’s federal election.”

The unions representing secondary and Catholic schools forged a tentative agreement with the province in late August, while the French-lan-

guage teacher’s union signed a tentative deal on Sept. 16. The deals between the province and the Ontario Secondary School Teachers Federation (OSSTF) and Ontario English Catholic Teachers Association (OECTA) were ratified on Sept. 18.

ETFO president Sam Hammond

Under the new contract, which has yet to be ratified by the other unions, teachers would see a one per cent lump sum payment this year, followed by a one per cent salary bump next year, and a half-a-per cent hike the year after. Sick leave and benefits would get a boost, and an extra PA day would be added to the school year.

Hammond fired a targeted salvo at Ontario Premiere Kathleen Wynne when stating his rationale for refusing

Ice skating: A workout for all ages Ice skating is a fun and active activity that provides exceptional cardiovascular health benefits.

Just like soccer or swimming, ice skating can offer a great work out and the opportunity to advance and specialize in different types of skating. Look no further than the City of Ottawa Recreational Skating School to learn how to skate, or to specialize in areas such as figure skating or speed skating. Courses are offered at various times, every day of the week, for ages two years and up.

If private lessons are more your style, these can be arranged too! Lesson plans are specially designed to accommodate the participant’s skill level. Call 613-580-2596 for information or register to learn, improve or master the ability to skate. All participants must wear CSA approved hockey helmets.

Want to practice your skating?

Use our convenient public skating search tool found on ottawa.ca to find the many public skating locations and times in your area.

Skater safety is a top priority at the City of Ottawa and safety starts with a properly fitted helmet. Children aged 10 and under, as well as skaters of all ages at a beginner skill level, are required to wear a Canadian Standards Association (CSA) approved helmet while attending City of Ottawa indoor public skate sessions.

Some tips for choosing a helmet: Buy a helmet that fits now, not one to grow into Never buy a used helmet Make sure your helmet has been tested for safety (Helmet will have a CSA sticker on the outside) To learn more about our helmet safety requirements, visit ottawa.ca or call the Public Skating Information Line at 613-580-2666. Remember to skate smart – all skaters, regardless of age and skill levels, are encouraged to wear a CSA approved helmet while skating.

Getting ready for winter took much preparation

E

ven though it was still hot as blazes, I knew summer would soon disappear.

Signs were everywhere.

Mother had started to set out the clothes we would be wearing when summer turned into fall and then into winter.

The big trunk that sat in the upstairs hall had on it neat piles of warmer underwear, the long beige stockings I loathed, and sweaters to wear until we changed into our heavier coats.

Downstairs in a corner of the kitchen, the old Singer sewing machine would stay opened up, as Mother sewed ripped seams and hemmed trousers, and turned collars on my brother’s shirts.

Buttons would be checked to make sure they were secure, and by the time the cold weather set in with a vengeance, we would be ready.

I knew the season was changing too because our

F

MARY COOK Memories fields were bare. The hay was in the mow in the barn, the harvesting was done, and Father had already started the fall plowing in the back fields.

Bags of grain stood in the farthest corner of the cow byre, and as he did every fall or late summer, windows in the barns were made secure, and any broken panes replaced. The barns had to be “tight” as Father called it, to help keep out the cold blasts of winter.

While the days were still

warm, Father and my brothers got the ice house ready for the days when fresh blocks would be brought up from the frozen Bonnecherre River. The sodden sawdust would be shoveled out and spread behind the little black building to dry, and then it would be hauled out of the yard down towards the gravel pit.

The ice house would be ready for new and dry sawdust brought from the saw mill after the big blocks of ice had been stacked inside.

Our stock of roasts of pork, hams and sausages was just about depleted after summer eating and feeding the droves of relatives who came over the summer months, and the smoke house was being made ready for the new batches being readied as fall came about.

Hickory, Father’s favourite wood for the smoke house, would be neatly piled outside the smoke house to augment the piles of cedar and maple logs that would smolder until the meats were ready for the table.

Proof that the summer would soon be gone were the rows of preserves, jams, and pickles that filled the swinging shelves in the dug-out that passed for a cellar under the house. Mother had worked, often into the night, to ‘put down’ jar upon jar to feed us over the winter months.

A sure sign the summer season was coming to an end,

was seeing Mother scour the sauerkraut barrel with a brush and a solution of vinegar, salt and water, and rolling it out into the yard to be dried by the sun. Soon we would be shredding cabbage and the barrel had to be ready.

I knew too this time of year, that we were really getting serious about the changing season when Father would come home from Scott’s Hardware with new red tubing, and whatever else he needed to make his beer. Already, a choice bag of barley was sitting in the summer kitchen waiting for the process.

Even though bad Marguirite time and again told me one day Father would end up in jail for making homemade booze, I looked forward eagerly to the day he would start the process. I loved the smell of the fermenting barley, and my brothers and I couldn’t wait until the bloated seeds

were discarded after serving their purpose.

We would gather hands full, grab a hen, feed it the fermented grain, which it gobbled up eagerly, and then we’d laugh hysterically, as the drunken fowl careened round the yard in a staggering stupor!

Yes, the season was changing. Back then we didn’t just roll from summer into fall and then into winter.

Proper preparation was needed if we were to survive the cold blasts of winter that before long would close us into that corner of the Valley.

We would be ready. Yes, indeed, we would be ready.

Walk helps put food on table amid growing need Erin McCracken

dates back to 1987, is supported by parishioners from several area churches, as well as more than 100 volunteers who distribute monthly food supplies. They are all instrumental in making the upcoming walk an annual success, Sherwood said.

“It’s people at the local churches who have been doing it every year, (who) make it part of their yearly routine to show up there,” she said.

With more attention being paid to the global refugee crisis, Sherwood hopes this will translate into a larger group of participants at the fundraiser.

“I’m expecting there will be more responsiveness to it this year,” she said. “It’s a really good to know that the support is there and people are thinking outside their own lives.”

The walk leaves from St. Thomas the Apostle Church, at 2345 Alta Vista Dr. Registration for the walk on Saturday, Sept. 26, begins at 9 a.m.

For details on participating, to sponsor a walker or make a donation, call the centre at 613-737-9090 or visit hefc.ca.

Lace up your sneakers to put food in hungry bellies on Sept. 26.

Longtime supporters of the Heron Emergency Food Centre are gearing up for the organization’s annual Step Up & Step Out to Stop Hunger walkathon, which last year generated upwards of $8,000 to support families and individuals struggling to put food on the table, sometimes even going without.

“The demand for food is rising about 10 or 11 per cent every year,” said Lynn Sherwood, a volunteer board member with the centre and a social worker.

“So that’s over the last four years – it’s risen about 40 per cent,” the Alta Vista resident said. “That’s huge. The families are feeling it.”

About 35 per cent of the centre’s $90,000 annual budget is covered by the City of Ottawa, which means the organization must raise the rest in order to feed an estimated

1,700 people every month from communities across southeast Ottawa, including Alta Vista, Riverside Park, Herongate, Heron Park, Billings Bridge, Riverside Park and Hunt Club East.

The centre, located at 1480 Heron Rd., provides three days’ worth of “basic emergency food” once a month to individuals, including pasta, tuna fish, frozen hamburger, margarine, eggs, rice, chick peas, potatoes and carrots.

These are designed to help tie families over to the end of the month, when they struggle the most to make ends meet.

“They don’t come unless they have to. It’s not a luxury add-on for anyone,” Sherwood said, adding that many people are feeling squeezed by rising costs of hydro, housing, transit fares and basic food staples.

“It’s for people who come and they don’t have anything left in the cupboard. It really is an emergency room centre,” she said. “A lot of people are only a paycheque away from an empty cupboard.”

Fury coach Dos Santos set to leave for MLS Brier Dodge

brier.dodge@metroland.com

The Ottawa Fury FC announced that well-respected coach Marc Dos Santos, credited with building the Fury team from scratch for their inaugural season in 2014, won’t be back next year.

The announcement was made on Sept. 15, just after the Fury players finished a training session at TD Place.

The players were told the same morning, prior to practise.

Dos Santos will be a coach of a MLS team, a step up for the Brazilian coach, though he said there wouldn’t be an announcement or any talk of where he’s heading until the Fury’s season is over.

Dos Santos said the players have asked, especially as they head into contract negotiations, where he will coach next year. The players on the team had put two and two to-

gether when he didn’t resign a contract with the Fury for 2016.

When asked if captain Ritchie Ryan expected the announcement, Ryan said, “I think you do a little bit when we’ve been on the run we’ve been on and the (coach) hasn’t signed a new contact.”

The announcement was somewhat oddly timed, as the Fury season is still ongoing with a likely playoff run on the horizon.

Ryan admitted he found the timing “strange”, and Dos Santos said he wasn’t in charge of the team’s media relations, so he also couldn’t comment on the timing of the announcement.

It was made as the team heads into the last home stretch of the NASL fall season. In first place as of Sept.

15, it’s likely the team will have a playoff run.

“This is sports, there’s been increasing speculation

for many weeks regarding Marc’s contract renewal,” said Ottawa Fury FC president John Pugh. “We want to bring clarity and closure to this both internally, and externally.”

It seems the Fury think announcing Dos Santos’ departure now will be less of a distraction than speculation and questions through the playoffs would be.

‘Bringing clarity’

“By bringing clarity regarding Marc’s future with the Fury, we believe that everybody associated with the club will be able to focus all their attention on our playoff run,” Pugh said. “What I do know, is that Marc wants to be in one place only for the next two months, and that’s here in Ottawa, with the Fury, leading the team of which he is the chief architect, leading us to the playoffs, and if we make the playoffs – all bets

are off.”

Dos Santos said the decision was strictly personal, and he would have been welcome back at the Fury for the 2016 season had he chosen to stay.

“It’s about me, my family, my kids and looking at the future for myself and my career,” he said. “I think John gave me a mission for the two and-a-half years of contract, and I’m still trying to honour that contract and give the very best of me, and I’ll continue doing that. And once that’s over, I’ll have to embrace another challenge.”

He said the team remains focused, and if they lose any of their eight remaining games this season, it won’t be because of his announcement.

“We’re more determined than ever, and I think this brought a big determination to the players about how important it is to accomplish something big,” Dos Santos

said. “For our locker room, no distraction at all. For people outside of the locker room, maybe.”

Ryan said that the players were also all on contracts, and working towards the same objective as Dos Santos – to make the playoffs.

“I think Marc’s a young coach who’s impressed everyone at this club, players and staff, over the last couple of years,” he said, calling his coach the most important piece of the team. “So for Marc to want to better himself at a higher level, we can only wish him all the best.”

Dos Santos said the announcement was difficult, because he’ll still remain with the club until his contract expires, so it’s not a formal goodbye to the Fury.

“I don’t want to say goodbye to no one,” he said. “It’s not the time to do that yet.

We’re still very focused in our locker-room on what’s coming ahead.”

HELP TURN DISCOVERIES INTO CURES More recently, Dr. Thébaud and his research team were the first to discover that stem cells from umbilical cords not only prevent lung damage but can rescue already damaged lungs. This discovery was made right here in Ottawa!

Premature infants, those born earlier than the usual 37 weeks of pregnancy, are a major focus of his research given that half of all babies born prematurely suffer longterm lung damage. Dr. Thébaud garnered international attention earlier in his career after publishing promising results in an experimental model of premature lung injury.

Now, using the knowledge he has gained by studying the mechanisms of lung development, illness, and repair, he is fine-tuning the new treatments he designed to treat incurable lung diseases. With his ambitious research program and with your help, he hopes to bring these safe and effective cell-based therapies into the clinic within the next two years.

Pedestrian hit by vehicle suffers ‘significant’ head injury Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Ottawa police are investigating after a pedestrian was hit by a vehicle at the corner of Albion Road and Bank Street near the Southgate Shopping Centre.

“When paramedics arrived, they treated a 20-year-old female for a serious head injury,” Marc-Antoine Deschamps, acting operations superintendent with the Ottawa Paramedic Service, said in a statement.

Paramedics were called to the scene on Sept. 17 at 3:13 p.m.

“Bystanders who came to the woman’s assistance reported to paramedics that the patient had struck the car’s windshield and

lost consciousness for several minutes after the collision,” Deschamps said.

After striking the windshield, the woman was thrown a few metres.

“There was considerable damage to the windshield and that certainly tells us the seriousness of the impact,” said J.P. Trottier, Ottawa paramedic spokesman.

The woman eventually regained consciousness, but her lengthy loss of consciousness signals a significant head injury, he added.

“Her vital signs were stable.

We did not see any obvious fractures, which doesn’t mean she doesn’t have any, but we made sure we mobilized her

and took her to the trauma centre (at the Civic hospital campus),” Trottier said.

The woman was conscious when she was admitted to hospital, and was listed in serious but stable condition.

Const. Marc Soucy, Ottawa police spokesman, confirmed patrol officers are investigating the collision, but could not provide additional details.

Trottier said he wasn’t aware if the woman was in a crosswalk or if the traffic signal was in her favour when she was hit by the vehicle.

The motorist was assessed at the scene by paramedics.

“The driver refused transportation (to) or treatment at hospital,” Trottier said.

File

Ottawa paramedics transported a 20-year-old woman to hospital suffering from a ‘significant’ head injury after being struck by a vehicle at the corner of Albion Road and Bank Street in the Blossom Park area on Sept. 17. Police are investigating.

Budding tree planters St. Gemma Elementary School students Kiara Saahfon, 10, left, Dan Mpoyi, 11, and Grace Lister, 11, transplant white spruce seedlings at Vincent Massey Park on Sept. 21 to mark National Tree Day and National Forestry Week. They were among about 120 Grade 5 and 6 students from St. Gemma and Holy Cross Elementary School taking part in an annual Tree Canada event, which included tree planting, scavenger hunts and arts and crafts.

About 40 white spruce, white pines and maples were also planted at the park, which will lose about 100 infested ash trees over the next year.

PET OF THE WEEK

K-9 and Feline Spa

LOLa (ID#a181438)

Meet Lola (ID#A181438), an easygoing, friendly girl looking for her purr-fect match.

Lola is a calm kitty who enjoys curling up for a nap in her favourite cozy places. When not napping, the affectionate Lola loves getting pats and cuddles.

Lola has lived with other cats in the past and they got along great. Lola would prefer a quiet, comfy home where she can spend lots of time getting to know her new best friend.

For more information on Lola and all the adoptable animals, stop by the OHS at 245 West Hunt Club Rd. Check out our website at www.ottawahumane.ca to see photos and descriptions of the animals available for adoption.

Walkathon evacuation means major fundraising shortfall for the animals at the Ottawa Humane Society A violent lightening storm forced the emergency evacuation of the Ottawa Humane Society’s Wiggle Waggle Walkathon on Sept. 13, leading to a major fundraising gap for the animals.

The first thunderclap at 10:15 a.m. meant OHS staff, with the help of police, had to enact the emergency plan to clear Queen Juliana Park of walkers, runners and their pets to protect event0924.R0013470631

Rudy

Hey! My name is Rudy and I’m a Shih Tzu. I’m probably just about the biggest sweetheart you’ll ever meet! I love making new friends and I’m known for being a little bit too forward when it comes to licking people’s faces.

My hobbies include chasing squirrels and rolling around in the grass. My lady dog friends think I’m pretty handsome.

goers from the lightening.

The 27th annual walk and third annual Run for the Animals are the largest fundraising events of the year for the OHS, helping the more than 10,000 animals in its care.

The cancellation means the OHS only raised about half the money it needs for the animals, said Bruce Roney, OHS executive director.

“We’re reaching out to our

community with the hope they will be there for the animals, like they always have in the past,” Roney said. “We’re hoping our community recognizes this very serious shortfall and the need and responds so we can be there for our city’s abused, neglected and homeless animals.”

To help the animals, please visit the OHS website at www.ottawahumane.ca/ WalkEmergency.

Please note: The Ottawa Humane Society has many other companion animals available for adoption. Featured animals are adopted quickly! To learn more about adopting an animal from the Ottawa Humane Society please contact us:

This week’s puzzle answers in next week’s issue

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