School board goes digital Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Kaylee Mak-Lin doesn’t know what she wants to be when she grows up, but she knows technology will be a big part of her future career.

“I want to learn how to be an expert at (using technology),” said the Grade 5 student at St. Thomas More Catholic elementary school

in Hunt Club Park. “I want to help people with viruses.

I hear a lot of people are getting them now.”

She’s only 11, but already she can work Google Chromebooks, tablets and has created a computer game.

She even helps her parents with technology from time to time.

The school year will continue according to plan for Ottawa high school students now that a tentative contract agreement has been forged between the local public school board and its teachers’ union.

On Sept. 21, the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board announced it had reached a tentative agreement with the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation (OSSTF) District 25, shortly after the main agreement between the province, OSSTF and school boards association was ratified.

The initial agreement in late August put an end to the labour action that commenced in late spring of this year and left parents worried about what the coming school year might bring.

“This was a new bargaining process and I am very happy that we have been able to work together with OSSTF to achieve this tentative, local agreement,” stated OCDSB Director of Education Jennifer Adams. “Labour negotiations can be challeng-

ing, but we have the utmost respect for all of our employees and we value the work they do. That has guided us through the negotiations process.”

The two parties can boast that theirs is the first locally-negotiated settlement in the province, though the exact terms will remain secret until full ratification occurs. That is expected to happen by Sept. 30.

The OSSTF was the first of the province’s teachers unions to strike a tentative deal with the province. Only one, the Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario (ETFO), has not reached a deal, and is currently ramping up its work-to-rule campaign in advance of a possible round of rotating strikes in October.

OSSTF District 25 President Dan Maxwell referenced the long process in his remarks on the agreement.

“After several months of local bargaining under a completely new two-tiered process, we have finally reached a local deal,” he said. “This deal speaks to the steadfast support of our members who have been on a partial withdrawal of services since last May.”

Board recognized as leader in creating ‘digital ecosystems’ Continued from page 1

“Sometimes they need help printing a picture,� said Kaylee, who has her teachers to thank for her digital fluency.

The Ottawa Catholic School Board has been on a five-year mission to transform its 83 schools into ‘digital ecosystems,’ which is the reason why the school board received special recognition from the Canadian Education Association during a ceremony at St. Thomas More on Sept. 24.

Through the initiative, teachers were each provided with laptops, classrooms were

equipped with LCD projectors and interactive whiteboards, policies were upgraded, libraries were converted into tech-friendly learning commons, and an interactive digital citizenship program was launched to teach students to use technology responsibly.

Technology did not drive the transformation. Rather, technology served as a tool to support, enhance and accelerate learning, said Denise Andre, the board’s director of education. “You don’t start with the device,� she said. “You start with, ‘What is it I need to

teach the student?’ and then, ‘How can I best use the technology to support that?’�

The initiative came at a financial cost, made possible through seed funding from the Ministry of Education, and by saving money through several changes, including the closure of the board’s central library at St. John XXIII elementary school in Nepean and instead connecting its libraries online.

The board also stopped an expensive Grade 5 robotics program field trip, and also turned to web-based resources in place of some non-fic-

tion materials. “We were channeling the money into digital resources instead of textbooks,� said Andre, who couldn’t provide the pricetag of the digital overhaul. “We still believe in fiction and reading but we wouldn’t be buying textbooks that would be out of date� in two to three years.

“I can assure you, what you’ve accomplished is very significant, and not only significant, but actually rather quite unique in Canada.�

Ron Canuel

The Canadian Education Association was “so impressed� with the school board’s transformation that it was chosen from among 35 school districts across the country to take part in a $50,000 three-month “In-

novation that Sticks� national case study.

Representatives will be visiting schools throughout Ottawa to learn how the digital transformation was accomplished across the school board. “I can assure you, what you’ve accomplished is very significant, and not only significant, but actually rather quite unique in Canada,� said Ron Canuel, association president.

Tammy Doyle, a Grade 1 teacher at St. Thomas More, said using technology to enhance learning is essential to preparing students for the jobs of today and the jobs of tomorrow that don’t yet exist. “If you want improvement and you want to prepare students for today then you have to be a forward thinker,� she said. Last year, her Grade 1 students connected globally with an at-risk class of Grade 10 students at St. Pius X high school in Nepean.

They were tasked with writ-

ing narrative stories and the Grade 1s would provide feedback in real time using Google Drive, an online system that stores digital information.

The Grade 10s could also speak with and see the younger students by using Google Hangouts, a text, talk and video communications service that connects individuals or groups over computers and mobile devices.

Once the stories were written, the older students used green-screen technology to craft movie trailers that they could tweet out and share with their parents. Through the experience, the high school students became much more engaged learners, said Doyle. “So that’s creating connected, creative, collaborative students,� she said. “Think about going into a job and having that skill set already. You’re a risk-taker, you’re a communicator, you’re a collaborator, you’re a problem solver. “What employer does not want that?�

I have a theory that many of today’s mental health issues – including depression, addiction and manic behaviours – stem from our lack of movement.

our extremities makes devolution a real possibility.

A few hundred years from now, we’ll look back and wonder about a society that needed an excuse to move, rather than an excuse to rest.

We’ll note the general change in body form, from upright, muscular homo sapiens to figures resembling the apes from which evolutionary theorists believe we’ve developed.

I think of the animation, WALL-E, with all the overweight people who survived the apocalypse riding around on moveable chairs and sidewalks. The movie nailed it on the one hand, but if I were to redesign the characters, they’d be somewhat more bent over.

As a knowledge society, we also get trapped in our heads a lot. In the ab-

I have a theory that many of today’s mental health issues – including depression, addiction and manic behaviours – stem from our lack of movement.

That doesn’t mean exercise can cure depression, but it can help significantly. More than 30 years of research has shown that exercise can be as effective as antidepressants in treating depression.

A 1999 study divided people with depression into three groups: those who were put on a cardio program; those who took antidepressants and those who did both.

By the end of the study period, 60 to 70 per cent of people in all three groups no longer had major depression, but the exercise group was the most likely to stave off depression.

A report from Harvard Medical School notes the following: “Walking fast for about 35 minutes a day five times a week or 60 minutes a day three times a week had a significant influence on mild to moderate depression symptoms. Walking fast for only 15 minutes a day five times a week or doing stretching exercises three times a week did not help as much.”

Could it be that all our sitting and thinking is not only altering our body shape, but also altering the chemicals in our brains?

And as a result, there’s something bigger happening, perhaps more significant – we’re losing the ability, as a society, to feed ourselves. Down some of our rural roads and see how once prime farm land has been carved up by developers for housing.

We sit, we type, we eat – and in turn, we hunch, we get depressed and rely on imports to feed our people.

It’s very possible that in as few as 50 years, we’ll all give ourselves a collective slap on the head and wonder what we’ve become

he last few weeks have renewed my belief that we’re devolving as a species. Caught up in election work that spans four time zones, I have found myself sitting at my desk as early as 5 a.m. and still taking phone calls at 11 p.m.

Of course I take breaks in between, but most of my day is spent hunched over my keyboard, tapping at keys in the name of research and a nice bit of prose. In between, my headset resting ever so lightly on my noggin, I take calls and type some more.

The odd time, if I know I’ll be on a particularly long phone call, I’ll sit and pedal gently on my exercise bike.

That’s happened four times in as many weeks, so I won’t brag about it.

Taxi drivers deserve to work

T

he city’s taxi drivers find themselves in a tough spot.

Uber has created a price challenge for current licensed taxi drivers. Uber operators have no taxi licence, iffy insurance rules and choose to do part-time, sporadic work aimed at peak periods of demand.

The licensed drivers who used to serve the airport – and are now locked out – face added fees that the airport authority has washed their hands of and which airport fleet drivers must pay. The fees arrive without the ability to pass on some of their extra costs to customers.

Driving a licensed cab is a full-time job, one that often supports a family. In some cases the long hours help to pay off the debt incurred by buying a taxi licence plate – plates that Uber drivers do not have to have.

No taxi passenger should begrudge that part of a taxi fare that goes to a taxpaying, hard-working driver.

We can take exception with high rates, but that’s the system put in place by dispatch companies in concert with our elected councillors at city hall.

They set the rates – not the drivers.

The drivers who are locked out are not rich.

There are no millionaires among them. They work long hours with no guarantee of good money, all while risking physical harm: both from the dangers of driving in city traffic every day and from unknown passengers. Your mom told you not to pick up strangers. Taxi drivers pick up strangers in dark places every day.

The people who choose to drive for Uber are working part-time for less pay, slowly nibbling away at full-time jobs.

It’s the Wal-Mart-ization of an entire livelihood as employees get forced to work for less money because customers want to pay the lowest possible price. Unless of course the job can be outsourced to a developing country – and then they don’t work at all.

This is a real-world case of “pay me now or pay me later� if we turn full-time workers into the unemployed and spread their incomes across a parttime landscape of our own making. Maybe there even more desperate people out there willing to give paying customers piggyback rides around town.

Those in need of transportation in the real world should support the taxi drivers now on strike.

Filling the music gap

W

hen Ken Rockburn’s book, We Are As the Times Are, was launched at Irene’s a couple of weeks ago, the tables were full of old-timers, some of them the very performers who had filled Le Hibou, the legendary coffeehouse that is the subject of the book.

(The title is from a song by William Hawkins, one of those performers, and he was there.)

The book is fascinating even for someone like me who arrived in the city after the Le Hibou’s day had passed. In its various locations, from Rideau Street to Bank Street to Sussex Drive, the club was host to some of the most celebrated and influential artists of the day – from Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee, to Gordon Lightfoot, to Joni Mitch-

of anecdotes and good gossip, you get a clear sense of a scene that was distinctly Ottawa. And it makes me wonder if there is such a scene now.

Both Rockburn and I are probably far too old to know. But I asked him anyway. He was quick to point out the differences between now and Le Hibou’s era, 1960-1975. “Back then your options were severely limited,� he said. “A few dark corners on radio, one or two record counters downtown, and, around the start of the Sixties, virtually no music venues that were there for kids in high school or university.

So a place like Le Hibou, latching onto the burgeoning folk music scene, very easily became the focal point, making it appear as if it was distinctive.�

That’s true. Lovers of music that was not in the mainstream, not Top 40 radio, were starved for their sounds. Today, they can find them on YouTube. They can join Face-

book groups devoted to their music.

They can find Internet radio stations that play nothing but.

But is it possible that this abundance of riches, rather than cutting into the appetite for live music, has stimulated it? Says Rockburn: “I don’t pretend to be a part of it any longer but, from a distance, it sure seems to me that Ottawa has a vibrant and thriving pop culture scene. You only have to look at the music clubs, the smaller art galleries, and events like Nuit Blanche to see that.�

Those are encouraging words for those who think we shouldn’t be getting all our culture from looking at screens. There have been some discouraging events on the local folk and jazz scenes in recent years, even though festivals more or less devoted to them have got bigger and bigger.

and has been adjusting to Canadian life since. Back in the spring, Ahmad came home from school one day and eagerly told his mother about his classmates’ trips to Disney World during March break and said he would like to go one day. He got his wish.

When asked what his favourite part of the day was, the shy 10-yearold said meeting Mickey Mouse.

“Mickey was funny,” he said.

For Hunter, Space Mountain was the highlight.

“It’s all in the dark. You’re going and then you take a sharp turn and you go down and then you go up,” he said.

While they were split on what their favourite parts of the day were, the kids all agreed this was a day they would remember forever.

Volunteers with the Ottawa chapter of charity Dreams Take Flight took 104 children from Ottawa, Gatineau and Cornwall to Disney World in Orlando, Fla., on Sept. 23.

When your heart is in your dreams, no request is too extreme.

Those words could not be truer for 104 children from the Ottawa area on Sept. 23 who were taken on a whirlwind trip to Disney World in Orlando, Fla. The Ottawa chapter of charity Dreams Take Flight organized the day, raising money throughout the year so that the children would not have to pay a cent for their trip. The charity asked organizations that work with socially, mentally, and physically challenged youth to select children to go.

Some of the children have difficult situations at home. Some have been diagnosed with life-changing illnesses and some are the siblings of children with serious conditions.

The kids assembled in a large hangar near Ottawa’s airport at 4 a.m. before doors swung open to reveal the plane that would take them to Florida.

After the excited little VIPs said goodbye to their parents and scampered onto the plane, they were told the engines would not start. Luckily, the flight crew had brought plenty of magic pixie dust to get the plane off the ground.

Most of the children had never even been on a plane before.

“I love the clouds,” said a grinning Hunter, a 12-year-old from Nepean, who gazed out the window as the plane headed towards Florida early that morning.

“I didn’t sleep last night because I thought I was going to miss it. It’s basically a dream come true.”

Once they landed, a short bus trip and ferry ride brought them to the gates of Disney World. A small army of volunteers ushered the children around the park in groups, darting around the magic kingdom.

A group of seven little boys beamed excitedly as they eagerly hugged Mickey Mouse.

The same group of boys later screamed as they whipped around on Space Mountain.

“It was fun, but I felt like I was going to puke my guts out,” Dominic, 8, excitedly said.

The kids got to go on as many rides as they could pack in and meet Disney characters from old and new movies.

The day was capped off with a visit to the gift store, where the children each got to choose a souvenir to take home.

Ahmad, 10, clutched his stuffed Pluto as the kids were rounded up and counted before getting back on the buses at the end of the day.

Ahmad’s family fled Syria in 2010

Ottawa South News - Thursday, October 1, 2015

NSP-TBYB-OEMC

Residents of Gloucester-Southgate ward have likely seen the recent addition of new traffic-calming measures along some of their streets.

They are in response to a rise in requests from residents who are looking to curb speeding amid rising traffic volumes.

“The fact is that we’re seeing more and more conflicts between road users, and requests for traffic-calming measures (are) escalating,” said Coun. Diane Deans, who represents the ward.

“But the city’s ability to meet those requests remains limited.”

Speed humps and bulb-outs, or curb extensions, are very expensive solutions, and require a lengthy review process known as an area traffic management study.

“The city is backlogged for years on the demand for those (studies),” said Deans, who estimates there is currently a 10-year wait.

“Even if you do get that, there’s no guarantee that you’re going to get speed humps on your street because they slow down emergency vehicles and they slow down buses and they slow down everything else,” Deans said, adding that even if a community gets on the list to undergo a study, the neighbourhood may never make it to the top of the ranked list.

She addressed traffic and roadway safety at the second meeting in her public safety series, which drew about 30 people to the Greenboro Community Centre on Sept. 22.

The information session, attended by Ottawa police, Safer Roads Ottawa, city traffic staff and cycling and pedestrian safety advocates, was an opportunity to introduce residents to

the city’s temporary traffic-calming measures program, established at the start of this council term through the strategic initiatives process.

Flex sticks, which are placed in the middle of streets, pole-mounted speed display boards, traffic-calming signage and pavement markings are among the more inexpensive measures that can be relocated around communities as needed.

“All of those are readily available trafficcalming measures,” Deans said, adding that councillors have been given the flexibility to order some of those “quick fixes” for their wards.

She purchased four flashing solar-powered speed-radar boards, which will soon be installed. One will be permanently placed on Hunt Club Road at Cahill Drive in South Keys.

“On Hunt Club, since they opened the (Highway 417) interchange, we’ve seen volume increases. We continue to receive complaints about speed and the aftereffects of that, which tends to be vibrations and noise,” said Deans.

A second permanent sign will be placed northbound on River Road at Balmoral Drive as a response to several complaints about speeding and traffic volumes in the wake of the opening of Vimy Memorial Bridge last year.

Another sign will be moved around the ward every three months, but will start out at Bank Street near Kemp Park, north of Leitrim Road.

And the fourth will be deployed to locations around the ward every two to three weeks.

Two more meetings in Dean’s safety series will be held next year. Topics and dates have not yet been finalized, though seniors’ safety will likely be the focus of one of the sessions.

‘Transformative’ sprinting coach dies at 89 Alex Robinson

alex.robinson@metroland.com

A Sandy Hill running coach credited with revolutionizing the way sprinters train across the world has died.

Gerard Mach, who was one of the first professional coaches in Canadian athletics, died on Sept. 22, less than a week after his 89th birthday.

For Canadian running coaches, Mach’s contributions to track and field put Canadian sprinters on the map.

“Canada wasn’t known at all as a sprint nation. By 1976, we were,” said Ken Porter, a longtime friend and fellow coach who is now the vice-president of the Ottawa Lions Club.

Mach grew up in Poland, where he won nine national sprinting titles between 1948 and 1958 and represented that country at the 1952 Olympics in Helsinki. It was during his early years as a sprinter that he started to develop a system that has since been central to sprinting across the globe.

Mach came to Canada in 1972, having received permission from the Polish authorities to leave the Eastern bloc country and became Canada’s first professional sprints and hurdles coach.

In 1976, he became the head coach for Canadian athletics.

The coach, who lived in Sandy Hill, quickly revolutionized the way Canadian sprinters were training, breaking down running into a number of different elements. He developed drills and an approach to training that allowed runners to maximize their potential in specific areas of running, Porter said.

His drills each worked a different part of the action of sprinting, which Mach divided into three parts.

“I don’t think there has ever been a coach in the world that has had more of an impact on the methodology of the training of sprinters,” Porter said.

Porter recalled attending Mach’s first coaching session in Canada in 1973. The talk was

given in German with a translator and was nothing short of transformative, said Porter. “(It was) an epiphany really,” Porter said.

“All those little discrete bits of random information that I had amassed from many, many sources over my first four years of coaching were suddenly a complete and integrated whole.

It was brilliant.”

Under Mach’s guidance, all four of Canada’s relay teams made the finals at the 1976 Olympics in Montreal. He continued to serve as the head coach of Canadian athletics for the 1980 and 1984 Olympics and coached 20 Olympic finalists.

Mach later stepped back Ken Porter (left to right) stands with Andy McInnis, Gerard from directly coaching athletes died on Sept. 22. and looked to develop other “He was a truly great man coaches. He was inducted into ebrated.

New national body to advocate for sex offender support groups Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

The only volunteer-based organization of its kind in Canada that helps convicted high-risk sex offenders reintegrate into society after getting out of prison now has a national voice.

Circles of Support and Accountability, also known as CoSA, already exist across the country, but faced with federal funding cuts and a need to secure long-term financial support, those advocating for the Circles have been working behind the scenes since 2010 to establish CoSA Canada.

That effort became reality this spring, and the national body is set to hold its inaugural annual general meeting on Oct. 27, at which time a board of directors will be elected.

“I think it’s really important to have a central organization that is advocating with, particularly, the federal government,” said Susan Love, program co-ordinator of CoSA-Ottawa. “We always felt that forming a national association was critical in the long-term sustainability of CoSA in Canada.”

The umbrella organization will also spearhead the development of a start-up kit for organizations and cities looking to establish programs for sex

offenders, the majority of whom are released into society after serving their time with little to no support.

“Where does an organization, a city, go if they want to start up?” Love said.

The goal is to eventually hire a national executive director, and perhaps have them work out of Ottawa, where they would have access to the federal government and can lobby for funding.

“There needs to be a CoSA site in every major city,” said Love. “Just look at the research, that those involved in CoSA (reoffend) 70 to 80 per cent less (after incarceration).”

The model has proven so successful it has been emulated in several countries, including the U.S. “We really are the only game in town that works specifically with this population.”

The creation of a national organization couldn’t come at a better time, given the loss earlier this year of funding from the Correctional Service of Canada which was keeping several CoSAs afloat as they worked with hundreds of sex offenders settle back into society each year. That forced the closure of CoSAs in Moncton, N.B., Halifax and Kingston.

Volunteer-based support groups for high-risk sex offenders across Canada, including in Ottawa, now have a national umbrella organization to advocate on their behalf, says Susan Love, program co-ordinator of CoSA-Ottawa and a CoSA Canada interim board member.

Carleton candidate debate heats up over climate change Science took centre stage as voters raise environment, healthcare and military research issues at debate Megan DeLaire

mdelaire@metroland.com

The current state and uncertain future of science and research in Canada repeatedly surfaced as a point of contention during an all-candidates debate for the Carleton riding in Manotick on Sept. 26.

While questions about the environment, healthcare and military naturally segued into warnings about the danger of muzzling scientists and promises to bolster national research, some audience members cut straight to the point, addressing candidates directly about what they felt was the current government’s poor treatment of scientists.

The debate hosted, by the Manotick Village Community AssoMegan DeLaire/Metroland ciation, mostly served as a venue for Federal candidates running in the the Carleton riding, from left, the NDP’s Kc Larocque, Liberal Chris Rodg- residents in the Carleton riding to air ers, Conservative Pierre Poilievre, and the Green candidate Deborah Coyne, at an all-candidates debate at their grievances with the parties vying for leadership, but especially with the the Manotick Arena on Sept. 26.

The third of five debates planned for the new riding, which includes the Riverside South and Findlay Creek areas of south Ottawa, was scheduled to run for two hours, but easily exceeded that time.

The format had candidates Kc Larocque of the NDP, Deborah Coyne of the Green party, Chris Rodgers of the Liberals and long-time NepeanCarleton Conservative MP Pierre Poilievre offer prepared answers to questions submitted in advance by organizers, followed by an audience question period that lasted for more than an hour.

Historic newspapers up for grabs in support of charity Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Going. Going. Gone.

That’s how Mike Woodley envisions how the sale of at least 700 of newspapers, magazines, election buttons, stamps and coins will go on Oct. 3 at St. Timothy’s Presbyterian Church in the Alta Vista neighbourhood.

Woodley and the Ottawa man who is donating his entire private newspaper collection are hopeful the sale will generate several thousands of for Fire Prevention Canada, a national charitable organization that specializes in educating the public about fire safety.

“The newspapers give you stories and stories and stories, and you feel what actually happened – the mood of the times,” said the donor, who wishes to remain anonymous.

Daunted by the prospect of trying to sell the collection piece by piece on buy-and-sell websites, the friends decided to offer a one-stop shopping opportunity.

“So we thought, let’s have

Erin McCracken/Metroland

Greenboro resident Mike Woodley is helping organize the Oct. 3 sale of a collection of newspapers dating back to 1891 in support of charity. one sale (with) lots of tables, lots of surface area, so that way people can look at them. They don’t have to dig through piles,” said Woodley, a 27-year Gloucester firefighter, who retired as a captain 15 years ago. He began volunteering with Fire Prevention

Canada about five years ago.

The collection includes original Canadian and American newspapers dating back to 1891, which chronicled the death of former Canadian prime minister Sir John A. Macdonald.

“I must have found it in a

garage sale one day,” the donor said.

At the sale, the newspapers and magazines will be grouped by subject matter to make it easy for collectors interested in specific topics, such as the 1998 ice storm, Princess Diana,

9/11, the world wars, elections, American general Douglas MacArthur, former U.S. president Dwight Eisenhower and Canadian icon Terry Fox. “These things were either were new when I got them, and put them aside, or they didn’t cost very much, which is why we can have great prices on these things,” said the donor, who has been collecting newspapers and other mementos since 1960.

Prices will range from $2 to $20 per item.

There’s a lot riding on the non-profit’s fundraising endeavour, the first of its kind for the educational organization, which dates back to 1976.

Funds generated will help the charity offset the cost of having its newly revamped website translated into French.

Other treasures available at the sale will include pennies, nickel collections dating back to 1922 as well as stamps ranging from 1902 to 1914. Some are still on their envelopes with the original letters still inside.

“These are stamps on envelopes hand-addressed with a straight pen,” said Woodley, a

Greenboro resident. “So it has a historical point of view.”

The newspapers are an invaluable keepsake of different eras, each featuring vintage advertisements, election news, comic strips and sports stories.

“And sometimes it’s just a newspaper that’s just of the times and no big dramatic headline,” said the donor. “People would probably like it for a time capsule. It’s like a time machine.

“There’s nostalgia in there too,” he said. “It’s not just for history professors.”

It’s a significant collection to give up, but the donor said he is at the point in his life where he is ready to do just that, especially in support of a good cause.

“Once you let go, it’s easier to let go,” he said.

Volunteers are needed to help in the lead-up to and during the event. Call 613-523-6784 for details.

The sale takes place on Oct. 3, from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., at St. Timothy’s Presbyterian Church, located at 2400 Alta Vista Dr. Admission and parking are free.

Canterbury student heads north to learn about climate change Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Zoë Perkins is heading north in hopes of returning with an Arctic perspective to teach her fellow students and teachers what they can do to protect Canada’s north from the impact of climate change.

“There are so many people who want to do something about this, but they just don’t know how,” said the Grade 12 Canterbury High School literary arts student.

Perkins, a Rockcliffe Mews resident, will spend 10 days aboard the Amundsen, a Canadian Coast Guard icebreaker, with eight other students and two teachers from across Canada to learn from Canadian and international scientists who are studying how climate change is affecting the Arctic.

The group was to fly out on Oct. 1 from Quebec City to Resolute, Nunavut, and travel by helicopter to the ship. The ship will then head east to Lancaster Sound in

Erin McCracken/Metroland

Armed with cold-weather gear, Grade 12 Canterbury High School student Zoë Perkins is ready to head north for a two-week scientific expedition, from Oct. 1 to 12, aboard a Canadian Coast Guard icebreaker in the Arctic. the Northwest Passage where researchers will conduct oceanographic sampling, before travelling north between Ellesmere Island and Greenland for ice island surveying

and more sampling.

“I’m really interested to bring back to our community what we can do as 17 (and) 18 year olds,” she said. “Because (climate change is)

such a huge problem, that can seem really difficult to tackle when you’re this age.

I really want to have a plan of attack.”

Steve Guillemette, a Can-

terbury science teacher, secured the school’s spot on board the research vessel after successfully applying to Schools on Board, an ArcticNet outreach program based out of the University of Manitoba.

Perkins was chosen from five students by Guillemette and two Canterbury teachers as well as a representative from the Canadian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society, which is donating $1,000 for the 17-year-old’s trip.

“Zoë was chosen (for) her interest, knowledge and current and past involvement in sciences and environmental sciences,” Guillemette said in an email.

She was also selected for her physical and mental strength, essential for the trip, as well as her involvement in an Arctic climate change lunch group at Canterbury, and for her French language abilities, which will also prove handy on the voyage.

Guillemette said he hopes she will develop a fundamen-

tal awareness of the North and its inhabitants.

“Zoë will also assist, daily, the Arctic scientists with their research, so I hope that she learns how science works, from the field sampling to writing of scientific papers, as well (as) hopefully develop a taste for a career for Arctic sciences and research,” he said.

Before the trip wraps up on Oct. 12, the group will visit residents of Pond Inlet, Nunavut, a traditional Inuit community on the northern tip of Baffin Island. Perkins plans to return with photos and their stories to give her peers a better appreciation of life in the Arctic.

“I know I’m really excited to see and bring back the beauty of the north because I could go up there and bring back all these scientific facts and data and probably no one would listen to me,” she said.

“I really want to come back and focus on the sheer beauty of the place and what we’re really losing.”

Poilievre takes fire from all sides at candidate forum Continued from page 15

One young audience member put Poilievre on the defensive when he asked the conservative MP how his government planned to address the issue of alleged suppressed scientists under the Harper government.

Poilievre took the opportunity to praise his party for investing $13-billion annually in science and technology funding, and said that his government’s tax cuts for entrepreneurs in Ottawa are allowing them to rebuild the technology sector “with great success.”

“Among G7 countries, Canada has the highest level of support for scientific research in per capita monetary terms,” he said to an audience in which many were shaking their heads in disagreement. “Furthermore we have a disproportionately large number of cited research publications.”

“Popycock!”

His response was answered with several cries of “Popycock!” followed by a ripple of discussion through the crowd.

Poilievre also came under fire when an audience member reminded the room of promises he said Poilievre made during candidate forums in 2004 and 2006 to “impose stringent, enforceable, mandatory regulations” on 14 industrial sectors that were the highest emitters of greenhouse gases. Poilievre was asked how many had been addressed as of this year.

When Poilievre seemed to deflect the question by commending the Conservative government for being the first to reduce greenhouse gases in Canada, while also not raising taxes, the crowd erupted in angry shouts of “answer the question” and “you promised” at which point Poilievre sat down.

“Only the most partisan Conservative would believe that we have moved forward

on the environment file,” said Rodgers, the Liberal candidate.

Larocque said the NDP believes it’s not necessary to choose between a clean environment and a strong economy.

“All I can say on behalf of the Green Party,” Coyne said.

“Is that you do want someone like me in Parliament. You want more people like Elizabeth May holding the next government, whatever government it is, accountable.”

The format for the first hour of the debate had candidates give prepared answers to questions posed by a moderator that addressed issues affecting the riding’s aging population, environmental issues in the riding and local economic development.

On the issue of an aging population, Coyne described Canada’s healthcare system as a patchwork quilt. She said it was important for the federal government to be more involved in healthcare, and for all levels of government to collaborate more going forward.

Poilievre took the opportunity to defend the current government’s plan to raise the retirement age to 67 from 65, saying that with life expectancy in Canada rising every year, the age of retirement should be flexible to sustain old age pensions in the long-term.

Rodgers pledged to protect pension splitting for seniors, and secure access for seniors to affordable housing, while Larocque repeated the NDP’s pledge to restore the retirement age back to 65. The NDP candidate also emphasized the need to add more frontline doctors and nurses and promote dementia and Alzheimer’s research.

When asked how they would address environmental issues in the riding, Larocque said that the NDP were the only party taking climate change seriously.

“We will work to overhaul the review process for development projects,” she said.

“Canadians deserve to have confidence that if a project causes more harm than good, it won’t go forward.”

Coyne endorsed a carbon price, and emphasized the need to achieve carbon neutrality by mid-century, and Poilievre praised the federal government’s creation of two new national parks, an urban park and a marine conservation area.

Rodgers said the first thing a Liberal government would do would be to “stop treating environmentalists like criminals, and to start treating them as concerned citizens,” immediately eliciting whistles and applause from across the room.

Economic development

Regarding the local economy, all four candidates agreed on the importance of focusing on the fundamentals of economic development, with Poilievre promising to continue promoting training, trade and tax cuts for businesses.

Rodgers pledged to grow the middle class by cutting taxes on income between $45,000 and $85,000.

Larocque promised to tackle the infrastructure deficit in the riding by investing, with the NDP, in public transit. Coyne also stressed that investing in the fundamentals of economic development, such as infrastructure, was a key to growing the local economy.

That the key to fostering local economic growth was investing in the fundamentals of development was one of the few points with which all four candidates agreed during the debate.

The candidates met again in Stittsville on Sept. 28 and will gather for a final debate on Oct. 14 at Fred Barrett Arena in Findley Creek.

The co-ordinator there had arranged with local police to help link sex offenders, who must abide by specific court-imposed conditions after incarceration, with local circle volunteers.

“And I don’t know any other city in Canada that’s done that with the police,” Love said.

CoSA-Ottawa, located on Catherine Street, lost $12,000 in annual federal funding.

Despite that, its 40 volunteers are currently operating 12 circles.

“That’s a lot actually, especially now that we’re down to one staff person,” said Love, who is the only paid staff member. A casual bookkeeper and part-time administrative assistant had to be let go last fall due to the cuts.

CoSA-Ottawa has been trying to make up that shortfall, and generNEW ated about $10,000 through a spring ! gala. As well, the United Way has been instrumental in allowing the organization to keep its doors open.

In July, it began contributing $50,000 a year for three years to the Ottawa-based group.

“But that’s really only half of our budget, so we’re still on the fundraising path,” Love said, adding the goal is to secure a long-term funding source.

“It’s really hard to apply year after year,” she said. “So it’s wonderful that United Way identified the need.”

CoSA-Ottawa now has $70,000 a year to work with, but the hope is to get it back up to $100,000, which would allow the hiring of an assistant to help implement volunteer training, screen volunteers and provide administrative expertise. .COM In the meantime, CoSA’s nine R0012460098

Without circles of support in place, registered sex offenders are at a very high risk to reoffend.

“I shudder to think,” Love said of what the loss of CoSA would mean for society.

The situation is more complex at the elementary level where neither a central nor a local agreement has been reached. Local negotiations are ongoing and both parties are at the table. The local union, OCETF, has put sanctions in place in our elementary schools and these may accelerate. The Board is committed to negotiating fair and fully funded agreements through the collective bargaining process. We are hopeful that central discussions will continue and a fair agreement will be reached.

Ray Park, who performed as the villain Darth Maul in the Star Wars productions, will be just one of about 10 celebrities at the third-annual Pop Expo at the EY Centre in November.

Star Wars: Episode VII – the Force Awakens on December 18.

However, it was challenging to book big name Star Wars alumni given their busy schedules this year.

So it was a coup when organizers lined up Ray Park, one of between eight and 10 celebrities who will be centre stage at Pop Expo, said Caporale.

LABOUR RELATIONS UPDATE There is good news for secondary students and parents. A central agreement negotiated with the secondary teachers and occasional teachers in Toronto has been ratified. At the local level, I am pleased that we have been able to negotiate a local agreement with our secondary teachers’ union, OSSTF. Our Board of Trustees has a very strong commitment to student achievement and well-being.

We know that our teachers share this commitment and having this contract in place is good news for students. Hopefully, by the time this article is published, the local deal will be ratified.

Celebrities from your favourite science fiction and fantasy TV shows and movies will soon be popping up in Ottawa.

Organizers of Ottawa Comiccon have begun to reveal the starstudded lineup for the third-annual Pop Expo, which takes place at the EY Centre Nov. 21-22.

While the event may echo the comic convention, a successful event that draws tens of thousands of people every May, Pop Expo offers fans a different experience.

“Comiccon is comics with a side of celebrities,” said Cliff Caporale, program director of Ottawa Pop Expo and Comiccons in Ottawa, Montreal and Quebec City. “With Pop Expo, while the comic aspect is still there, it is not as omnipresent as Comiccon.

“It is more focused on pop culture, TV shows that are currently hot or things from the past, (as well as) movies that we know and love from the sci-fi, fantasy world.”

Organizers have tried to tie Pop Expo to a different theme every year, and this year aimed for a Star Wars focus to mark the release of

there – he’s also a genuinely amazing and nice guest,” he said of Park, known for interacting with fans, even showing them how to use a light saber.

“He’s going to get out from behind his autograph booth and have a great time with the person there,” said Caporale.

Actor Sam Witwer, who is also associated with the Darth Maul character, has been booked as well.

“Besides doing Darth Maul … I think his first major (role) is StarKiller on the video game (Star Wars) the Force Unleashed,” Caporale said of Witwer, who voiced Darth Maul in the animated Star Wars: the Clone Wars, Emperor Palpitine from Star Wars: Rebels, and is voicing Maul in the new Disney Infinity 3.0 game.

Witwer also appears in the Space series Being Human, and played a memorable character in Battlestar Galactica.

The Pop Expo lineup also includes Garrett Wang, who played Ensign Kim on Star Trek: Voyager, Zoey Palmer from Lost Girl and Dark Matter, as well as Brett Dalton from Agents of S.H.I.E.LD. “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is probably … one of two main TV shows that people ask (about) over and over again,” Caporale said.

Booking stars who have extensive film and TV credits is key to the success of Pop Expo, which attracted 7,500 people last year and is expected to entice about 8,500 in November.

“That’s our ultimate goal – to bring in more people, to indoctrinate them into the geek world,”

Caporale said, adding that more stars and event highlights will be unveiled in the coming weeks.

While Pop Expo will take up about half the space that Comiccon requires, organizers say the plan is to grow the popular culture event and eventually expand it to include a Friday night.

Event highlights will include artists’ alley, celebrity questionand-answer sessions, autograph and photo opportunities and a costume fashion show.

A plethora of vendors will also be selling comic books, sci-fi and fantasy collectibles, movies and video games, as well as Star Wars toys and other memorabilia.

The timing of Pop Expo is designed to give fans an opportunity to pick up gifts for the geeks in their lives, since the showcase takes place a month before Christmas, and is held at the half-way mark between Comiccons.

That’s something Caporale can appreciate on a personal level.

“I’m very hard to shop for. My wife has to sneak into the (Star Wars collection) room and check out, ‘Does he have this toy?’” said Caporale, who has more than 1,000 Star Wars toys in his personal collection.

“I hope I get an hour or two to get my shopping done, because that’s my opportunity.”

Tickets for Pop Expo are now on sale. The event will take over the EY Centre, located at 4899 Uplands Dr., on Nov. 21 and 22.

Opera Society competition looks to boost local talent Alex Robinson alex.robinson@metroland.com

The National Opera Capital Society is set to display some of Ottawa’s best young singers in its biennial competition on Oct. 10.

The Brian Opera Competition, which will take place at the Southminster United Church in Old Ottawa South, is held every two years to give young promising singers exposure.

“We are trying to promote singers from the area and to discover them and help them along,” said Murray Kitts, the president of the National Capital Opera Society.

“When it works, it’s wonderful.”

A number of singers who have performed in the competition have gone on to international stardom in the opera world. Bass-baritone Philippe Sly won the competition in 2009 and now performs regularly at San Francisco Opera and across Canada.

Mezzo soprano Wallis Gi-

unta was the runner up in that same year and quickly rose to stardom afterwards, singing in opera houses around the world, including stints at the Metropolitan Opera in New York. She recently moved to Leipzig, Germany, to join an opera house.

Baritone Joshua Hopkins, the winner of the competition in 2003, has also sung around the world. He is performing in Opera Lyra’s Barber of Seville this fall before embarking on a season that will take him across North America.

The society’s members have closely followed the careers of those who have sung in the competition over the years, seeing some of them flourish into international stars.

“We’ve had great success with the majority of the people who have come through and been finalists and winners,” Kitts said.

“It’s almost like they’re part of an extension of a family of young people who have benefited by being part of the competition and gone on

to careers and made quite a name for themselves, appearing in some of the great opera houses of the world.”

The competition, which was started in 1993, is named after Brian Law, a prominent conductor who worked to raise the profile of opera in Ottawa for 25 years. Judges choose up to six finalists from a pool of applicants.

The competition sends out notices to music-education organizations across the country looking for entrants with a connection to the National Capital Region.

The applicants must be between the ages of 20 and 32, who were either born in Ottawa, lived in the city for at least a year or studied singing in the National Capital Region.

This year, the six finalists are tenor Tonatiuh Abrego, bass-baritone Joel Allison, soprano Ania Hejnar, baritone Ryan Hofman, soprano Eliza Johnson and soprano Jennifer Mizzi.

Each contestant will get to sing three songs before the

Kitts said singers usually choose challenging pieces to show off their technical abili-

ties.

“They make sure to sing things that are really demanding to show how they can inject feeling and meaning into the words and so on,” Kitts said.

“It’s really amazing how enjoyable all this is, because they work very hard. It’s quite

a memorable evening.”

Doors will open at 6 p.m. on the night of the competition and the singing will start at 7 p.m.

It’s no secret that animal welfare is a very different thing for dogs and cats. One of the most striking differences between dogs and cats in our community, and by extension, at the Ottawa Humane Society, is the numbers that enter our care with identification. While just 14 per cent of dogs admitted have either visible identification – a collar and tag – or permanent ID in the form of a microchip, only a sad one per cent of cats are so protected.

This seriously inhibits our ability to return a cat to its home.

What can you do? If you have brought a cat into your life, please outfit her with a collar and tag.

A Sept. 24 tribute to the late Ken Ross also acted as a fundraiser that could see his dream of a new and larger Barrhaven Food Cupboard open in 2017.

Ross died earlier this year at the age of 54. He was co-owner of the Your Independent Grocer location in Barrhaven and died from complications after a diagnosis of lymphoma.

His life was celebrated during a Sept. 24 fundraising dinner. The chair of the fundraising committee for a new building, David Rattray, said plans are taking shape for the construction of a building on the Barrhaven United Church property on Jockvale Road.

Rattray said the opening could be “Barrhaven’s Canada 150 signature event in 2017,” referring to the celebrations for Canada’s 150th birthday.

Many speakers referred to Ross’s passion for the community of Barrhaven, and his dedication to the Barrhaven Food Cupboard, where he served as president until his death.

Rattray said Ross used that passion to focus everyone’s efforts.

“Who could ever say ‘No’ to Ken?” Rattray said. “None of us.”

GROCERY STORE

Rattray likened the future food cupboard 26

Ottawa South News - Thursday, October 1, 2015

to a grocery store. As well as space to store food, the plans call for a community meeting space to teach clients about food preparation, nutrition and food safety.

Current food cupboard president David Sereda said Ross “always wanted to make Barrhaven a better place.”

“Who could ever say ‘No’ to Ken? None of us.”

DAVID RATTRAY, CHAIR, FUNDRAISING COMMITTEE

“He was unable to complete his vision of a new building for the Barrhaven Food Cupboard,” Sereda said, adding that the last time he spoke with Ross, “I told him I was going to make his dream come true.”

“And tonight’s gala will help move us forward.”

Ross’s wife Kelly also spoke, sharing a sentiment that the audience of more than 200 people already understood.

“Ken was taken too early,” Kelly said.

“With your presence here, you are making it all possible.”

Mission starts collecting turkeys for Thanksgiving James Kerr

The Ottawa Mission is hoping the goodwill that surrounds the Thanksgiving holiday will include donations of turkeys for the mission’s annual Thanksgiving dinner.

Once again, the Ottawa Mission is preparing for its annual Thanksgiving turkey dinner by urging people to donate large frozen turkeys to help make this year’s dinner a success.

The dinner, which served close to 2,800 people last year, aims to feed anyone without a home, food, or company on

the holiday.

“It takes between 80-90 turkeys to feed everyone who comes to our special Thanksgiving Dinner,” said Peter Tilly, executive director of the Ottawa Mission.

Volunteers

“Our kitchen volunteers and staff are cooking for about a week before the special holiday event to ensure everyone who attends will have a delicious turkey dinner,” Tilly said.

“This special meal isn’t just for people staying in shelters; it’s for anyone hungry or alone in the community during the holidays.”

Turkey donations can be dropped off at the mission at 35 Waller Street.

Donors can also arrange for their donations to be picked up by calling 613-234-1144, ext 248.

The Thanksgiving Dinner will be served on Thanksgiving Monday, Oct. 12, 11:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Ottawa Mission at 35 Waller St.

A document to protect wildlife during construction has been approved by the city’s planning committee, despite concerns that the new protocol won’t be enforceable.

Donna DuBreuil, director of the Ottawa-Carleton Wildlife Centre, spoke to the committee on Sept. 22 to decry what she called a “watering down” of the protocol since it was originally released last winter. That draft received kudos from the animal welfare community, who felt it actually had enough teeth to truly make a difference in wildlife protection through requirements for wildlife mitigation plans, pre-stressing efforts such as making noise before clearing land, and better timing of clearing as part of the site plan approval process.

But the home building industry felt it had not been properly consulted, and by the time the document was updated to reflect developers’ concerns this summer it was reduced to nothing but a set of best practices, according to DuBreuil.

“There hasn’t been any muscle put back into the document,” she said in an email. “The city of Ottawa isn’t any further ahead in spite of the wildlife strategy’s commitment to wildlife-sensitive planning.”

But planning policy development manager John Smit told the committee the protocol was always meant to be a guideline. Any indication in the early draft that it would be a new regulation or bylaw was accidental.

“We don’t have the legislative authority to introduce those types of regulations,” Smit said. Instead, the document should be used as a “frame

Collecting evidence

The struggle, of course, is collecting enough evidence that conditions are being ignored in order to intervene. “You really need to make sure there is ongoing presence where people actually monitor the activity that’s happening on site, so that I think is the big challenge in dealing with the enforceability side of it,” Smit said.

There was some chatter around the committee table about hiring a wildlife mitigation expert to help guide developers through their site clearing and building process with the least impact possible.

That was axed from a wildlife strategy approved by council in 2013, but Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper and Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson both suggested they may bring the position back into budget debates this fall.

“This is a very, very important document in my area,” said Wilkinson, who noted that Kanata’s March Highlands in particular will accommodate hundreds of hectares of new development over the next decade. “It is the implementation that is the con-

Frontline workers open up umbrellas to reveal the United Way’s new campaign goal as confetti flies through the air at Marion Dewar Plaza on Sept. 24.

Police chief and co-chair of the campaign Charles Bordeleau encouraged those in the audience to get out their phones, and donate via text message.

Brier Dodge/Metroland

United Way’s goal is to change lives Brier Dodge

brier.dodge@metroland.com

Umbrellas opened up all over Marian Dewar Plaza at City Hall on Sept. 24 to reveal the number 57,200, the number of people United Way Ottawa hopes to help through its 2015-16 campaign.

While it was a sunshinefilled day with no rain, campaign organizers hoped as soon as the umbrellas went up, money would start pour-

ing in.

The 57,200 number was calculated using a $16 million target, and a few different figures. A child who participates in a homework club might need limited resources to be helped, while a youth who has an extended stay in a shelter would be worked into the total budget at a higher cost.

“In some cases, it’ll be a crisis hotline that really doesn’t cost a lot, but it can make a world of difference,”

said United Way Ottawa CEO Michael Allen. “But supports for drug or alcohol addiction treatment are a little more expensive.”

The campaign kick-off was hosted at City Hall’s Marian Dewar Plaza with a lunch catered by Art-Is-In Bakery followed by a concert by singer Jeremy Fisher.

Police chief and co-chair of the campaign Charles Bordeleau was the host at the announcement, as his co-chair,

Danya Vered, was away on her honeymoon.

Bordeleau spoke about the importance of United Way, and showed a video telling the story of a young refugee who found himself living in the shelters at the YMCA/YWCA in Ottawa.

“For over 30 years, I’ve been lucky to serve a vibrant and caring community,” Bordeleau said. “I’ve been exposed to unique experiences and I saw firsthand the need

for support. I’ve been especially moved by the struggles young people face today.”

He invited front-line workers from a variety of service agencies who received United Way Ottawa funding up on the stage in front of City Hall to unveil the campaign goal on large red umbrellas.

“You don’t have to be in the frontlines to make a difference,” the police chief told attendees.

“We all have the ability to be a hero in somebody’s life,” he said.

Allen said many services are central in the downtown core or more urban neighbourhoods, but there are services

that benefit across the city.

He lives in Orléans himself, where neighbours may use a food bank locally, or some of the counselling services supported by United Way Ottawa. “(United Way services) are all throughout our community,” Allen said. “People who suffer a loss in their life – they’re affected as well. And that grief knows no boundaries.”

United Way Ottawa is now accepting donations towards its goal of helping 57,200 people this year. The United Way accepts donations online at unitedwayottawa.ca or by phone at 613-228-6767.

SENS EXTRA Canadian Tire Centre reveals new seating, food options brier.dodge@metroland.com

The Canadian Tire Centre will have about 500 fewer seats this Ottawa Senators hockey season, as the new Club Bell seats are now in place.

The luxury section – with tickets that include valet parking, food and drink – start at $10,000 a seat for the whole season. Single game tickets aren’t available in the special section, which seats 472.

The renovation changes the total capacity down to 18, 684 from 19,153.

“We think this is going to be the best location to watch a game in the entire league,” said Ottawa Senators president Cyril Leeder. “It’s quite a significant change.”

There are a few seating options, with larger, premium seats, and blocks called “loges”, which give customers a bar-style counter to keep food and drink on.

Leeder said the ticket sales for the Club Bell section will be gearing “pretty well all to businesses and high net-worth individuals.”

FOOD OPTIONS For fans who won’t be sitting in the new premium seeing, there are still upgrades to look forward to this season at the Canadian Tire Centre.

For those who have dietary requirements or just enjoy eating healthy, Farm Boy will open the

Farm Boy Fresh zone. Options will include wraps, salads, soups and sushi in a menu created by Jamie Urie.

The Fresh Zone will feature similar food to the pre-made food in the grocery store chain, including options for gluten-free and vegetarian diets.

“That’s part of our mandate.

Number one is being able to offer something for everybody,” Urie said. “We’ll have vegan soups, vegetarian chilli – and of course, options for the meat lover.”

Favourite Smokes Poutinerie, which has been a popular stop during games, will also expand its presence to include a new Smoke’s Burritorie.

It will have a few unique burritos on the menu to add another food option for Sens fans.

There will also be more than quadruple the number of Tim Hortons coffee stands through the arena, as the chain has increased its presence at the facilty.

“Tim Hortons has really made a big investment and we’ve been able to expand the distribution of coffee to 14 locations, up from three last year,” said Geoff Publow, the team’s vice-president of strategic development. “The lines have become a bit legendary.”

There is also improved accessibility access with a counter that is more accommodating to fans who are in wheelchairs.

Above, new seats in the Bell Club will start at $10,000 each. That’s for a season ticket, per seat. The new section is aimed towards corporate buyers and “high net-worth individuals,” said Ottawa Senators president Cyril Leeder.

Right, Farm Boy is one of the new food additions for the Canadian Tire Centre in 2015. The takeout restaurant, located on the concourse accessible from the 200 and 300 level seats, will have vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free food options.

Fire crews deploy ‘ingenious’ tactic to fight roof fire Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

A small smouldering fire broke out within the sub-roof of a brand new building in a commercial area off Hawthorne Road, prompting fire crews to think outside the box to reach it.

“There was a fire in the roof area and essentially what that meant was we had to get up in the roof area and put it out,” Capt.

Bob Rainboth, Ottawa fire department spokesman, said of the fire at 2717 Stevenage Dr. on Sept. 23.

“In doing so we encountered a lot of smoke. There was more

smoke than fire.”

Almost 30 firefighters in about a dozen fire vehicles were called to the scene at around 8:30 a.m.

– which is considered a sizable response.

“It’s all preventative because it’s such a big building,” said Rainboth.

In a unique move, crews drove a large fire truck into a vacant shipping and receiving bay at the north end of the two-storey building.

“And it had perfect access for us to put a ladder truck to get access to the roof area,” Rainboth said. “So our firefighters were very ingenious.

“It doesn’t happen often where you can do something like that.”

After firefighters snuffed out the blaze, landscaping crews got back to work laying sod and topsoil along the perimetre of the property, located at the corner of Stevenage and Overton drives.

According to city planning documents, the building is to serve as the new headquarters for Urban Quarry, complete with a manufacturing area, showrooms and offices.

Damage is estimated at $20,000.

The cause of the fire was not immediately known.

Erin McCracken/Metroland

Ottawa firefighters responded to a fire in the roof of a commercial building at 2717 Stevenage Dr., off Hawthorne Road, the morning of Sept. 23. Firefighters were able to drive one of their firetrucks right into the building to get better access to the fire. Damage is estimated at $20,000. No one was injured in the incident.

Taxi protest Cab driver faces can’t block mischief charge after confrontation parkway: judge Staff

A 58-year-old Ottawa taxi driver faces a mischief charge after police allege he damaged another cabbie’s vehicle last month.

Police were called to the 1000-block of Airport Parkway near the Ottawa International Airport on Aug. 13 at around 4 p.m. after a taxi driver reported being surrounded by several people on foot or in taxis after he had picked up a fare.

They “began yelling as he attempted to drive FILE away,” police said in a Ottawa police have arrested an Ottawa taxi cab driver that they say confronted another Sept. 24 statement. “The complainant and his pasdriver and allegedly damaged his vehicle back on Aug. 13. senger were subsequently blocked from moving forward by another taxi. The driver of the second taxi joined a group, causing damage to the complain-

ant’s vehicle.”

The confrontation took place early on in the ongoing labour dispute between airport taxi drivers and their dispatch company, Coventry Connections.

Drivers began protesting an increase in airport dispatch fees on Aug. 11, the day they say they were locked out of the airport for refusing to pay the new rate.

Police said they are continuing to investigate and gather evidence and additional charges may be forthcoming if warranted.

Anyone with information concerning this incident is asked to call Ottawa police at 613-236-1222, ext. 3566, or submit an anonymous tip by calling Crime Stoppers at 613-222-8477.

Staff

A court has ordered taxi protesters to stop blocking the Airport Parkway and surrounding roads, bringing an end to more than a month of traffic disruptions as a labour dispute continues between drivers and their dispatcher, Coventry Connections.

The city and Ottawa airport authority jointly asked the Ontario Superior Court for the injunction on Sept. 21. It was granted Sept.

23.

Protesters are no longer allowed to block, delay or interfere with traffic on the Airport Parkway, Hunt Club Road, Uplands Drive or Lester Road unless they’ve secured a legal permit to stage a protest. They’re also banned from driving so slowly on the Parkway, Hunt Club, Uplands or Lester that they impede the flow of traffic.

Laundry came with a ‘laundry’ list of procedures

N

othing interfered with the Monday wash. Or for that matter, the Tuesday ironing.

Monday night, after the clothes hung on the line all day, they were brought into the kitchen stiff as boards. Wrinkles were smoothed out of Father’s overalls and the boys pants, socks matched and rolled into balls, and hand towels folded just right.

Some of the laundry, like my sister Audrey’s and my blouses had a bath in a basin of water and starch before being hung on the line on Monday, and they too could stand up alone when dried out.

Before we went to bed on Monday night, Mother would put the flat irons on the reservoir at the back of the stove, just to warm them. Because once breakfast was over, the fry pan washed and put away, the irons would be moved to the front of the Findlay Oval to get burning hot and ready for the ironing.

Winter or summer, come Tuesday, the old kitchen stove had to be raging hot, or the irons would never be ready

MARY COOK Memories for the work ahead.

The ironing board was nothing more than a plank wrapped with a few layers of well-worn flannelette sheets, and then placed between the backs of two kitchen chairs. Once everything was in place, Mother took a used vinegar bottle and filled it with water and tucked in a stopper with holes in it.

Everything that had been starched, and the flour bag tea towels, and pillow slips, Father’s Sunday shirt were well sprinkled with the vinegar bottle water and then rolled into tight sausages and stacked at one end of the kitchen table, close to the ironing board.

All the time the flat irons on the stove would be getting hot, absorbing the heat from the raging fire inside.

When I wasn’t away to the

Northcote school, I loved to sit at one end of the table and watch Mother iron. There was a clamp affair with a smooth wood handle that fitted over the flat irons, and using a thumb press, Mother could change the irons when they cooled down and would no longer do the job. I thought that was very clever indeed.

But the cleverest trick of all, I thought, was when Mother tested the iron to see if it was hot enough.

She spit on the end of a finger and quickly tapped the bottom of the iron...if it sizzled, it was ready to use. If it didn’t, she moved over to another iron on the stove and tested it the same way. She did it so quickly, she never burned her finger, which I learned one day could happen if you didn’t pay attention.

That day I was allowed to iron the tea towels. They, of course, were rolled up in tight little sausage shapes, and I laid one out flat on the ironing board, clamped the holder over an iron on the stove, spit on the end of my finger, and connected with the iron.

Of course, I wasn’t quick enough,

and I was sure I had fried the end of my finger! I soon learned to barely touch the iron and to make sure there was plenty of spit before contact.

Ironing was a serious business back then. It took Mother the better part of Tuesday to complete the job.

On a summer’s day, the heat in the kitchen was fierce, just to keep the irons hot on the Findlay Oval, and Mother’s face poured sweat.

When it got too hot to bear, she would put the iron back on the stove, and go out to the grape arbour with a glass of water and sit for a spell...just long enough to cool down and rest her tired back.

And then it was back to the job that consumed every Tuesday.

When the last of the ironing was done, clean, starched blouses hung on wire hangers all around the kitchen. Father’s Sunday shirt would be on the back of a chair. The tea towels would be spread out to make sure they were perfectly dry before being put neatly in the drawer on the back-to-the-wall cupboard.

Everything had to be tidied up before supper. The ironing board

tucked behind the door in the summer kitchen, and the flat irons allowed to cool down on the reservoir before being put on top of the warming closet on top of the stove waiting for the next Tuesday’s day of ironing.

Mother read in the Renfrew Mercury about a new type of iron that used gas to heat it. But she was having none of that. It was enough that she worried constantly about us either freezing to death in our beds on a cold winter’s night, or meeting our Maker from a fire in the winter when the Findlay Oval was plugged to the gunnies with blocks of wood to help keep us warm.

She didn’t need a gas iron that could explode and blow us all to pieces, all in the name of moving up to a modern convenience. No siree, the old flat irons would do just fine!

LEAVE YOUR LASTING MARK FOR CHEO’S CHILDREN & FAMILIES MATT WAS ONE OF THOSE RARE PEOPLE WHO HAD AN INNATE AND INCREDIBLE ABILITY TO TOUCH AND AFFECT THOSE HE LOVED IN A VERY POSITIVE WAY. NOW THE MATT LARUE MEMORIAL ENDOWMENT FUND WILL CONTINUE TO HELP PEOPLE AT CHEO’S DIABETES CLINIC. By making a planned gift to CHEO you not only help future generations of children, but you also provide some tax relief to your estate, while still providing for your family members.

Here are some ways you can create your Forever CHEO legacy: make a bequest in your Will; create an endowment fund; name CHEO as the beneficiary of your RRSPs or RRIFs; or take out a life insurance policy with CHEO as the beneficiary.

CONSIDER CREATING A TRULY LASTING LEGACY AND HELP TO ENSURE THAT CHEO IS FOREVER PART OF OUR COMMUNITY.

Your gift keeps on giving. Forever.

R0013377304-0806

For more than 40 years our community has benefited from the care and medical expertise at CHEO. While some of us have thankfully never had to use CHEO, others have for minor or sometimes more serious issues. The one commonality we all share is a great respect and appreciation for CHEO. We want it to be here for our kids, our kids’ kids and beyond that. That is what Forever CHEO is all about!
