Agencies rally to support evicted Herongate tenants Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

After calling Herongate home for the past 30 years, Mavis Finnamore isn’t quite ready to say goodbye to the rental community where she raised her family. Neither is Peter Dennis, a retired federal civil servant who has lived a few doors down from Finnamore on Sandalwood Avenue, off

Heron Road, for 28 years. They are among 53 families who have been told they must move out by Feb. 29, 2016, to make way for the construction of a new multi-unit residential development expected to begin next year. “I felt terrible, particularly about the timing,” Dennis said of the news.

Ottawa Police Service/Submitted

Ottawa robbery investigators are hoping the public can help them identify a male suspect who they say robbed a pharmacy located on Bank Street at Walkley Road on Oct. 5.

Police looking for robbery suspect Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Ottawa police are turning to the public for help in identifying a male suspect they say stole drugs from a pharmacy in the 1500-block of Bank Street at Walkley Road on Oct. 5. A lone suspect went into the pharmacy around 11:30 p.m., just before closing time, and passed a note to the pharmacist demanding prescription drugs. “It was a note passed. In that respect it was not violent. There was no weapon seen and no injuries,” said Staff Sgt. Michael Haarbosch, head of the police robbery unit. Robbery investigators said the suspect made off with an undisclosed quantity of drugs. “We have reason to believe he fled to a vehicle,” Haarbosch said.

“Whether he (had) parked it or he had an accomplice waiting, we don’t know that. But we are confident he used a vehicle to flee the area.” Haarbosch declined to reveal why investigators believe the suspect headed for a vehicle, and did not disclose any description of a vehicle. Just three days after the crime, police went public with images of the male taken from in-store surveillance footage in hopes someone will recognize him and supply police with information. The suspect is described as a Caucasian male, between 40 and 50 years old and approximately 5-foot-7 to 5foot-10 with a lean to medium build. Anyone with information on the case is asked to call the robbery unit at 613-236-1222, ext. 5116, or provide anonymous tips to Crime Stoppers by calling 613-233-8477.

Ottawa South News - Thursday, October 15, 2015

Community to benefit from redevelopment: councillor Continued from page 1

The plans put to rest rumours of a possible redevelopment that surfaced at least four years ago and then started up again about two years ago, said Finnamore, a tenant representative, who raised concerns in recent months about vacant units that had fallen into disrepair. “That’s why I felt I was living in a creeping slum,” she said. “And to be stonewalled for not just months, but years on end?” Timbercreek refused to share those plans with residents, which would have given residents more time to make potentially life-changing plans “… rather than having everything being dumped on us at the last minute, in the middle of winter, in the middle of school,” Dennis said. Given the absence of community consultation, Finnamore, who had long advocated for timely repairs to the property, said, “It did not seem like they considered the tenants at all.” But, in recognition of the timing, landlord Timbercreek Communities is providing each affected family with a relocation incentive package based on their current rent. Those tenants have been given ﬁve months notice rather than the required three months under the Residential Tenancies Act. Those who choose to move outside the community will be given three months rent, plus a $1,500 moving allowance. And residents who relocate to another Timbercreek property within Herongate will be given free rent for the ﬁrst, sixth and eleventh months, as well as a $1,500 moving

allowance. As well, seven of the affected families who have subsidized rents can turn to the city for additional assistance in ﬁnding new accommodations. Ottawa-based consulting ﬁrm Momentum Planning and Communications was hired to notify each tenant in person, beginning Sept. 29. “Timbercreek was wanting to do it on personal basis in advance of having to issue an eviction form required under the act,” said Dennis Jacobs, principal planner with Momentum. That eviction notice will be served Nov. 1.

“We all just want people to feel safe, be comfortable and be OK.” OTTAWA SOUTH MPP JOHN FRASER

For Finnamore and Dennis, the relocation offer doesn’t soften the blow. “It still makes it difﬁcult,” Finnamore said of the timing, which she would like to see extended until spring. “This is not the prime rental season.” After learning residents must relocate, local politicians and organizations sprang into action, visiting residents and hosting a drop-in information night on Oct. 7. The event, which was attended by Alta Vista Coun. Jean Cloutier among others, was organized in a matter of hours, evidence of the positive change and community engagement efforts that have emerged in Herongate over the

past year, largely thanks to the health centre’s new community developer. “So people want to stay (in Herongate) – that’s the first thing. That’s good news,” said Kelli Tonner, a program director with the health centre. “The second thing is the partners working in the community for years have come together to support residents through the transition. “That wouldn’t have happened two years ago,” she said. While speaking recently with Tonner, Ottawa South MPP John Fraser expressed concern for the well-being of affected tenants. “We all just want people to feel safe, be comfortable and be OK,” Fraser said. Jacobs said he is confident there are opportunities for affected tenants to find alternate accommodations within Herongate, since units are always becoming available. Some tenants are already planning to move elsewhere in the neighbourhood this month, he said. Timbercreek’s redevelopment will replace the oldest rental properties in Herongate, located at 2816 to 2838 Sandalwood Dr., which are three- and four-bedroom townhouses first built by Minto in 1969. Timbercreek purchased about 1,200 units, including townhouses and mid- and high-rise apartment buildings, in two sections over the past two years from TransGlobe. “They’ve been taking this time to look at what they can do with this property,” Jacobs said. “From an investment perspective, it seemed like an opportune (time) to redevelop and perhaps provide more units on that particular block of Her-

ongate than are currently there.” Timbercreek will have invested $30 million in renovations to their Herongate properties by the end of this year, including repairing sidewalks and parking underground parking garages, re-facing buildings, upgrading units and improving community facilities and landscaping, he said. But given the age of the Sandalwood Avenue units and their underground parking garage, a complete do-over was needed. “They would effectively have to demolish the building to rebuild (the garage),” said Jacobs. Though details of the project are not yet available nor has a site plan control application been submitted to the city, the property is currently zoned for building heights of ﬁve or six storeys. The 1.6 hectare property is pegged for 300 or more one- and two-bedroom units that will be available at market rental prices under the current plan.

“But there’s been no firm decision on how that will be put onto the property,” Jacobs said. The start date of construction will depend on the city’s approval process, but the project will take about a yearand-a-half to complete, he added. Cloutier said the redevelopment, which he learned about Aug. 20, is not a surprise given the age of the townhouses. “I’m a little bit relieved that it’s finally happening and that Timbercreek is investing in our community,” he said. “It is a community that needs a little bit of tender-loving care.” The development will benefit the entire neighbourhood once finished, he added. Sandalwood Park, a cityowned space behind the affected units, won’t be negatively impacted by the development. “As we go through the redevelopment there will be many opportunities to improve Sandalwood and other areas in the community,” Cloutier said.

Divorce Straight Talk

CHEO is applauding the Australian High Court’s recent ruling that human genes cannot be patented and hopes Canada follows in Australia’s footsteps. The regional children’s hospital launched an unprecedented legal challenge against five U.S. gene patent holders last November, which it says prevents it from testing and treating its patients more quickly. “Two common law countries, the United States and Australia, have now agreed that human genes are not patentable. We hope Canada is next because it will help us realize the full potential of genomic medicine,” Alex Munter, CHEO president and chief executive, said in an Oct. 6 statement. The Australian court overturned two previous lower court judgments in ruling that the BRCA1 gene, which is related to breast and ovarian cancer, can’t be patented, and that human genes are not an invention. CHEO’s legal case, filed in federal court by Toronto-based law firm Gilbert’s LLP, continues to work its way through the legal system. The case, which was expected to take two to three years,

CHEO is celebrating the Australian High Court’s ruling that human genes can’t be patented, and hopes Canada will do the same. The regional children’s hospital is in the process of challenging five U.S. gene patents, which it says prevents its specialists from testing patients for a potentially life-threatening heart rhythm disorder. focuses on the testing patent for Long QT, a potentially fatal genetic heart rhythm disorder that can cause quickened, irregular heartbeats. It can lead to fainting, seizures and sudden death in even very healthy people. The hospital wants to change the law allowing broad gene patents so that it can improve patient access to patented genetic tests in Canada. CHEO has two such specialized tests its geneticists want to put into practice that would enable them to identify the Long QT mutation and more quickly

treat patients. However, the U.S. patents, which give the holders exclusive right to diagnose the disorder, prevent doctors from being told whether a patient has Long QT. As a result, Canadian hospitals must send patient blood samples south of the border, resulting in a higher financial cost and a longer wait for results. CHEO said the patenting of human DNA is a roadblock preventing patients from accessing their own genetic information. “Doctors and scientists are on the cusp of being able to examine

the whole of human DNA – not just individual genes – through new technologies,” the hospital said in a statement. “Genomics holds the promise to unlock many medical mysteries, speed diagnosis and tailor medical decisions and treatment to patients’ specific genetic profile.” When CHEO, a recognized leader in genetic research, launched its legal case, it became the first hospital in Canada to challenge gene patents in the country. - With files from Erin McCracken

The niqab election A few weeks ago, I couldn’t have imagined that the niqab would be a central election issue. For one, there aren’t many women in Canada who don the garment. Secondly, there are only two women in the country that have ever attempted to wear a niqab in a citizenship ceremony, so surely it couldn’t be the primary issue on which people would vote. But propaganda, successfully implemented, has made it so. As it has done in the past, the Conservative Party of Canada has used what authors Silverblatt, Bruns and Jensen call “Karl Rove’s Playbook.” If you’re unfamiliar with Rove, he’s the guy who helped get George W. Bush elected, first as the governor of Texas in 1994, and subsequently as U.S. president in 2000 and 2004. Rove developed a number

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse of propaganda tactics designed to garner control of elections and, ultimately, to win them: set the tone of the campaign; create straw issues, ideally ones that stir up emotion in otherwise rational people, (the best is fear); always accuse your opponents of things you’re doing and then call foul when they try to accuse you of doing the same thing. Once the CPC began to slip in the polls, following what some regarded as a mishandling of the public outcry over Syrian refugees, the Rovian tactics came out in full force.

You see, scrambling to “correct” their position on refugees wasn’t enough. Rovian tactics told them they needed to “set the tone of the election.” They needed to distract a Canadian public that was worrying about real issues like plummeting oil prices, a low Canadian dollar, and the possibility of a recession. Rove was a big supporter of wedge issues – things that stir up emotions and get people engaged, albeit for potentially the wrong reasons – that secure the party base. See NIQAB, page 11

)MAGINE 4HIS &AMILY &RIENDLY %NTERTAINMENT THAT 0ARENTS 7ILL ,OVE Like many new parents ﬁnding themselves knee-deep in children’s music, four New Orleans friends found themselves at the end of their ropes when listening to their kids’ favourite music. Imagining that there could be family friendly music that wouldn’t drive parents crazy, they began gathering after their kids’ bedtimes to write songs about healthy snacks, playing catch and conquering childhood fears of bedtime, all set to music that parents could get behind. Critical acclaim for the Movers includes nods from Entertainment Weekly and The New York Times, which reported the Movers are “prized by many parents for non-condescending lyrics and music that evokes the Beastie Boys or Red Hot Chili Peppers more than Barney or the Wiggles.” Today line-ups at Movers’ shows stretch city blocks, they’ve got an animated series is in the works, and success with Disney Junior has cemented the Movers as a favourite with the juice box set, but it didn’t all come easy for these New Orleans natives.

When the levees broke after Hurricane Katrina, the disaster turned the Movers’ world upside down, and put their Disney dreams on hold. Three of the Movers lost their own homes, their studio was destroyed, but the storm proved to be a turning point for the band. While New Orleans doesn’t feature prominently in the television show, the crew felt strongly about keeping production local which presented unique challenges in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Tasks as simple as locating required construction materials took twice the effort, items that would normally be easy to come by had to be shipped from neighbouring states. As the cast and crew begin the setup of a new studio, it was quickly apparent that the biggest asset the group had was the dedication of the crew. The Movers have ﬁlmed three seasons of their hit musicand-comedy series for Disney Junior and sales of Movers CDs, DVDs and merchandise are approaching a half million. Parenting Magazine praised the band’s “dash of rebellion” and songs that are “fresh and treacle-free.” National televi-

sion appearances include The View, Live with Regis Kelly, and Good Morning America. The Movers have also become a force to be reckoned with in the concert business. Their recent “In a Big Warehouse” tour attracted 150,000 fans and was one of Pollstar magazine’s top 100 tours of the year. They received stellar reviews from concertgoers thanks to the guys’ highly interactive music and winning ways with an audience. In addition to showcasing the Movers’ music, the Disney Junior series has introduced international audiences to the band members’ lively comedic talents. “We all love the classic comedy,” Durbin says. “Lots of people talk about the Monkees, which are an obvious reference for us. But really it’s Jerry Lewis, the Marx Brothers, Carol Burnett. Oldschool fun.” The Movers will be performing two shoes at Centrepointe Theatres October 24 (1 PM & 4 PM).

Government advertising must deliver substance

ach week more than 1,000 English and French community newspapers just like the one you are reading today go about the business of telling stories that matter to the communities they serve. We are at your rinks and schools. We are at your council meeting. We are at the scene when tragedy strikes. We celebrate your milestones. Our job is to cover your neighbourhood, warts and all. And we are good at it. We are in towns big and small. Independent research shows that more than 70 per cent of Canadians read their community paper. Despite our collective strength, ours is a medium easy to ignore. Because we focus on Canada one community at a time, we lack the sex appeal of other media. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen our share of federal govern-

ment advertising gradually erode over the years. Our regional and national associations have met with government MPs, opposition MPs, cabinet ministers and senior bureaucrats to promote our case. We are always met with courtesy and a promise that things will get better. Well things are not getting better. So despite it being contradictory to everything we believe in journalistically, the time has come to tell you. In short, the federal government is all but ignoring your community newspaper. We believe this means the federal government is ignoring you and your communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right to be informed about programs and services offered by the Government of Canada. In the last fiscal year, the federal government spent $75 million on

ne of the refreshing things about this election is that no one is talking about declining the ballot. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice. Maybe people will stop complaining about voting this time, and just vote. Last election there was a spate of righteous indignation about the leaders, the parties, the candidates, the process, and out of it arose the righteous peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hope that they might, rather than just staying home quietly, actually go to the voting station and, as a protest, publicly decline their ballot. This would make them feel better, not to mention holding up the line a bit. It turned about that there was no provision for this in federal law. A voter could spoil his ballot, by

advertising. More than $26 million of that went to TV ads, while another $15.5 million went to Internet advertising â&#x20AC;&#x201C; an industry dominated by American-based companies like Google and Facebook. Creating ads and paying ad agencies ate away another $10 million. Radio advertising cost just under $7 million. By comparison, community newspapers saw a paltry $867,000 in total advertising from Ottawa â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or an average of about $25 per week per newspaper. The way in which your government uses your money to communicate with you is very telling. TV and Internet ads work to build brand, not to inform. Your community newspaper generates debate and serves as a forum for discussion â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and is also one of the few places where local MPs actually receive editorial

coverage outside election season. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why those MPs submit letters to the editor, columns or buy their own local advertising to share their work with the community. They know the power of your local community paper. The federal government knows it, too. The Harper government spent $1.25 million with a company called NewsCanada to create its own stories â&#x20AC;&#x201C;stories it offers for free to print and broadcast outlets. The vast majority of these government-approved stories are never published. But you and I paid for them. It is disconcerting that the federal government spent 50 per cent more creating its own news than the total advertising buy in Canadian newspapers. The federal government strategy appears to be that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more important to make pretty ads than to put

relevant information about programs and services in front of readers of community newspapers. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re telling you theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d rather give your tax dollars to Facebook and Google than Canadian-based companies that invest in local journalism. If the federal government continues to ignore our community newspapers, some communities may lose them. When that happens a vital voice is silenced. If you believe, as we do, that government should invest in meaningful communication with citizens through community newspapers, we ask you to help us. Contact your local candidate. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d love to hear from you, too. Give us a call at 613-221-6261 or write a letter to the editor and email theresa.fritz@metroland.com. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll continue to make sure your voice is heard.

choices are better. Or maybe they realize that it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t all that satisfying to make a grandstand play in a church basement in front of 23 people who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even notice. And so we proceed, many of us quite happily. We like the ritual stroll to the neighbourhood church hall, getting the ballot (although all identification requirements makes us feel vaguely not trusted), marking the ballot, double-checking it to make sure we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t accidentally vote for the wrong person or play tic-tac-toe, asking the scrutineers how the turnout is, and then strolling back. It feels good, as if we have done something worthwhile, like going to church, which we sort of have. People who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t vote miss out on this. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to know why, because voting is the farthest thing from difficult. The polling place is invariably close by, the hours make it easy to vote after work, and it is

possible, in many cases, to get time off to vote, if necessary. So there is nothing holding people back. Except for their own inertia and whatever feelings of alienation they may have. The local candidates may not appeal to some, none of the leaders may seem just right, none of the party platforms are perfect. But, hey: itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a perfect world. There must be something or someone you like better than the others. Or, to put it negatively, there must be someone you want to vote against. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a legitimate choice too, voting against. The important thing is to choose. There have been many strolls to the same church hall over the years and some changes too. The big difference is that there are people from all over the world at the polling place now, Canadians all, which is something that Canadians rightly celebrate. When asked what

differentiates Canada from other countries, Canadians might mention medicare, hockey and better beer, but they also mention how easy has been the transition from bicultural to multicultural society. As we know, not everyone is as happy with that as they should be, but voting day is a good time think about it.

Councillor looks to thank veterans with free Remembrance Day parking Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Veterans may be able to park for free when they attend Remembrance Day services this November at the National War Memorial in downtown Ottawa. The city’s transportation committee unanimously supported Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Michael Qaqish’s motion Oct. 7, and was expected to be considered by council Oct. 14. If approved, those driving vehicles with veterans’ licence plates from any province, which depict a red poppy and the word ‘veteran,’ would be able enjoy free on-street parking on metered streets in the vicinity of the National War Memorial, within the posted parking hours, and nearby in the city’s underground garage at city hall. “I thought it was a thoughtful idea (for) that one day where you do get veterans from across the city come downtown, especially the older ones,” Qaqish told Metroland Media. The councillor’s quest was inspired by a retired military veteran and Riverside South resident, who approached him in recent months to pitch the idea. “Initially, his request was to look at free parking all year round for veterans,” said Qaqish, who then sought feedback from city staff and council colleagues. He also did some research and learned the idea was first raised – and rejected – by a previous council. “There’s issues with enforcement. There’s issues with revenue,” Qaqish said.

During a previous council term, concerns were also raised over whether others driving a veteran’s vehicle, such as a veteran’s licensed children, would be entitled to the complimentary parking. Though there were issues raised around providing it 365 days a year, Qaqish felt there was an appetite to provide the free parking on Nov. 11. “So this was sort of a compromise that we came up with,” he said. Qaqish’s motion still needs council support, but he expressed optimism about its chances for approval. If given the green light, it could serve as a pilot project this year. “And then that will give us a sense of how it works, or it doesn’t work or what we can do better for future years as well,” Qaqish said.

Suspect arrested in Elmvale Acres pharmacy robbery Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Ottawa police say were able to connect a suspect to two separate criminal investigations, including a pharmacy robbery in the Elmvale Acres neighbourhood. A pharmacy in the 1900-block of Russell Road was robbed on Sept. 23 around 6:20 p.m. after a lone male tried to get a prescription filled. The pharmacist questioned the authenticity of the document. “When he started to ask questions in that respect, and it looked like (the suspect) wasn’t going to get his prescription filled, that’s when he escalated it,” said Staff Sgt. Michael Haarbosch, who oversees the police robbery unit. “(The suspect) threatened physical harm if (the pharmacist) didn’t fill the prescription,” he said. The prescription was then filled and the man fled the premises. Haarbosch said no one was injured in the incident. Police arrested the man they believe responsible for the pharmacy robbery on an unrelated matter on Sept. 28. “There was some similar fact on the other arrest to ours,” Haarbosch said, referring to the way in which the suspect committed the two crimes. “It wasn’t a robbery, but there were some similar

things that we were dealing with and that’s how we made the connection.” He declined to provide additional details. A 23-year-old Ottawa man was scheduled to appear in court on Oct. 7 to face charges of robbery, uttering a forged document, personation and two counts of breach of recognizance. Robbery investigators are asking anyone with information on the case to call them at 613-2361222, ext. 5116, or call in anonymous tips to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Niqab driving a wedge

rules king in elections. So just as we thought the niqab issue should take a back seat to real issues, the CPC announced a new RCMP tipline that people can use to report “barbaric cultural practices” of their neighbours. A quick check in my hard copy dictionary told me that the origins of “barbaric” are “non-Christian.” A subsequent online verification showed that barbaric comes from the Greek “barbaros,” meaning “foreign” or “rude.”

Across the country, all the bigots came out of the woodwork.

I gather, with this new tipline, we can snitch on our neighbours for anything from yoga to curry-making. It sounds like a joke, but it isn’t. It was fuel to the racist flames, and it worked to breathe new life into the Conservative campaign. In the same way Green supporters love to slam pipelines, Liberals love themselves and the NDP loves unions, Conservatives love to see themselves as the defenders of morality. Harper, and one of his highest profile ministers, Chris Alexander, knew exactly how to keep Conservative supporters’ attention shifted away from the real issues and onto the issue they created. Propaganda is a powerful tool, more so in a world where we all go online to confirm our bias about everything from kale to childrearing. But this election isn’t really about the niqab, not really. Whatever party you support, this issue shouldn’t have any bearing on your vote. As you get ready to vote this week, it’s worth asking a single question: Are you better off now than you were four years ago? If you are, then cast a vote for your incumbent or a candidate of the existing government. If not, it may be time for some reflection.

R0013424463-0924

Enter the niqab. The niqab is the perfect Rovian play for the Conservatives. Hardly anybody likes the niqab – not really. And judging by the reaction of most Canadians who have been polled, they’d rather see it banned than have it as part of the Canadian wardrobe, although simultaneously most would rather see the Charter of Rights and Freedoms upheld. The Conservative party, as government, had been attempting to ban the wearing of it at citizenship ceremonies since 2011. The federal court struck it down, saying that the government failed to prove a woman would cause harm to others by donning it. In early October, the federal appeal court struck down the government’s argument again. The niqab could stay. And stay it did. Across the country, all the bigots came out of the woodwork. From the streets of Vancouver, Montreal and Toronto, there emerged stories of Muslim women being attacked – not because they had their faces covered, but because they wore the hijab, a head scarf. People were fearful, emotional and pitted against each other. It was playing out perfectly. Conservatives accused

the other parties of politicizing an apolitical issue in the midst of a campaign – the other parties accused the Conservatives of the same thing. (Rove: Accuse your opponents of something you’re doing; when they turn around and accuse you of doing it, cry foul.) If we weren’t in the midst of an election campaign, perhaps cooler heads would have prevailed. But propaganda

Mayor joins walk to school event in Riverside South Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

They didn’t have their textbooks in hand, but for a few minutes, it was just like old times as Mayor Jim Watson and Coun. Michael Qaqish walked to school. After arriving at their destination at St. Jerome Catholic elementary school in Riverside South on Oct. 7, Watson proclaimed Oct. 5 to 9 International Walk (iWalk) to School Week in Ottawa for the first time. “I think having the mayor issue an official proclamation just adds sort of a level of recognition to the event,” Wallace Beaton said of the walk-to-school initiative which is held during the first week of October to encourage more schools to get involved and encourage their students to walk, cycle and take other active transportation modes to school.

“Any school can have a walk-toschool day,” said Beaton, co-ordinator of Active & Safe Routes to School in Ottawa and eastern Ontario. “We felt the proclamation was another way of encouraging other schools to look at iWalk as something they can do, too.” The benefits are many, from reducing traffic and pollution to promoting healthy active living. A generation ago, between 60 and 70 per cent of schoolchildren walked to school, said Beaton. “We’re now down to about 25 per cent.” The reasons are many, from both parents working to parents concerned about children walking alone. But that has caused a headache for principals and school staff trying to cope with a boost in traffic in school drop-off areas, which weren’t designed to handle the influx of ve-

hicles. Both St. Jerome, which has almost 600 students in kindergarten to Grade 6, and Steve MacLean Public School, which has more than 1,000 in kindergarten to Grade 8, recently graduated from the Ottawa School Travel Planning program offered through Green Communities Canada, a non-profit organization that promotes walking to school through its Active and Safe Routes to School program. Green Communities brings schools, school boards, Ottawa Public Health and city departments to develop a plan around improving safety for students already walking and cycling to school. The program is also designed to encourage more families to choose walking and cycling to get to school, even if only part way. St. Jerome has been adopting iWalk Wednesdays over the past three years, and principal Steve McGarrity has noticed a big difference. “The kids really got into it,” he said. “One of our indicators is our kiss-and-go traffic. Usually at the beginning of the year, we’re looking at 70 to 75 cars, and this year we are looking at averaging 30 in a morning.” And to ensure the safety and wellbeing of walking students, Spratt Road was designated a 40 km/hr speed zone during school times this summer. Spratt has seen an increase in traffic with the opening last year of Vimy Memorial Bridge, said McGarrity.

Last year, parents and officials from St. Jerome, Bernard-Grandmaître French Catholic elementary school and Steve MacLean public school, which are all located on Spratt Road, began working together to advocate for the reduced speed limit. “With the flashing lights, it really raises awareness,” McGarrity said,

Ottawa South candidates outline stances on health, transit, poverty Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

It was a packed house at the only all-candidates’ forum in the federal Ottawa South riding. More than 400 people filled Hillcrest High School’s auditorium on Oct. 8 to listen, learn and, at times, laugh as six of the seven registered candidates pitched their promises in hopes of securing the riding, long held by the Liberals. The Conservative candidate, Dev Balkissoon, did not attend the candidate forum. On the issue of reducing poverty, Liberal incumbent David McGuinty said his party would enact a monthly tax-free child benefit and a 10-per-cent increase of the guaranteed income supplement for seniors. NDP candidate George Brown said, “So I have to start off with the line, ‘You can get child care, health care, pharmacare, Mulcair,’” and pitched his party’s plan to create one million child-care spaces for $15 a day. “This is the first national social program in a generation,”

he said. Progressive Canadian candidate Al Gullon, who had some of the most controversial comments of the night, drew groans when he pitched scrapping the minimum wage to curb poverty. “Every place that the minimum wage has come in, unemployment has gone up and it affects mostly the small businesses,” he said. “They cannot afford to pay minimum wage.” Libertarian Damien Wilson said the key to combating poverty is to stop taxing the working poor. “To ensure that these people aren’t forgotten we’ll simply let them keep more of their money,” he said. Green party candidate John Redins said his government would not tax those who earn less than $20,000 per year. ACCOUNTABILITY

Bringing accountability and transparency back to the government was also a hot topic. The New Democrats would establish a code of conduct for ministers and their staff, im-

PMO’s budget by 50 per cent, while McGuinty touted the Liberals’ plan to overhaul the access-to-information system, ban partisan advertising, remove partisanship from the Senate, reform Question Period and make Omnibus bills “a thing of the past.” HEALTH CARE

Erin McCracken/Metroland

Several hundred people shopped for a candidate during the Ottawa South all-candidates’ forum at Hillcrest High School in Riverview Park on Oct. 8. Six of seven hopefuls, minus the Conservative candidate, vying to represent the riding took part in the two-hour forum. prove the federal public service whistleblower’s act, remove partisan patronage appointments and establish a six-member board to review all political appointments, Brown said. The audience cheered when Communist Larry Wasslen

suggested removing the “antidemocratic and outdated” firstpast-the-post system. “The Communist Party recommended that 50 years ago. I’m very happy to see some of the other parties catching up.” The Greens plan to cut the

Each candidate tackled the issue of creating a national health-care plan that prioritizes seniors and ensures affordable medication. Developing a national pharmacare plan “is a major issue,” said Brown. “One in four Canadian households includes someone who cannot afford to take the drugs they’re prescribed,” he said, adding the NDP would also add 7,000 doctors and nurse practitioners, and 200 more clinics. Wasslen said public ownership and control of pharmaceutical companies is essential, while Gullen said the federal government should take over the health-care system from the provinces.

A Green pharmacare plan would save taxpayers $11 million and ensure free dental care for youth, said Redins. A Liberal government, said McGuinty, would negotiate a new health accord within the first 100 days of office. “We haven’t had a single meeting between a prime minister and premiers in this country in over a decade on health care,” he said to applause. “That is shameful.” TRANSPORTATION

When asked if the federal government would provide additional support for active transportation, Wasslen drew one of the biggest laughs. “That’s the easiest question isn’t it? Communists are very big believers in bicycles,” he said. The Greens pledge to help fund Ottawa’s LRT and its southern extension, and spend one per cent of the GST on infrastructure, which Redins said will help kick start repairs to roads.

“We see bridges shut down in Montreal. This can’t happen in Canada,” he said. The Liberal government’s infrastructure plan would provide an extra $60 billion, $20 billion of which would be dedicated to transit, on top of $55 billion in funding over the next decade. “So we’re going to, of course, honour the phase two of the light-rail system for Ottawa,” said McGuinty. He said he plans to fight for the light-rail transite extension to the Ottawa International Airport. “Municipalities need long-term stable funding,” said Brown. “We’re going to give them one cent from the gas tax – forever – so they can plan their infrastructure.” Some of the biggest applause of the night was reserved for a question on how each party would attract

more women candidates and engage youth. “Of the eligible voters in Ottawa South, half are women and half are under the age of 40,” one man said.

“I’m 21 and I decided to run for office because I believe that more young people need to participate.” Damien Wilson, Libertarian candidate

“But voters in Ottawa South have the choice of seven men, six of them over the age of 40.” Redins, whose party wants to lower the voting age to 16, said his nieces, aged 12 and seven, enjoy knocking on doors during the campaign.

“Mine don’t,” quipped McGuinty, drawing a big laugh from the audience. Almost 40 per cent of Liberal candidates this election are women. “If we form government there will be an equal number of men and women in the cabinet,” he said. The youngest candidate in Ottawa South said he hopes to lead by example. “I’m 21 and I decided to run for office because I believe that more young people need to participate,” said Wilson. Brown said 48 per cent of New Democratic candidates are women and 23 are indigenous. His party would move toward proportional representation to engage disenfranchised youth who think the system is broken. “We’re committed to changing the system and bringing them along to be part of it,” he said.

A water-rescue team from the Centretown fire station was also called in to provide backup as per usual protocol, but while en route to the scene it was turned back after fire crews on scene determined no one was missing or in distress. Emergency personnel were on scene for less than an hour. Rainboth didn’t know who the kayak belonged to.

An overturned kayak in the Rideau River prompted Riverside South-based firefighters to deploy their water-rescue unit. A Riverside South resident first spotted the vessel off the shore from 450 River Rd., between Honey Gables and Cedardale, and called in authorities around 9:30 a.m. on Oct. 6. Firefighters launched their boat from and were able to determine that no one was at risk. “In this case, it didn’t merit more than a simple search, and questions to residents,” said Capt. Bob Rainboth, fire department spokesman. He said firefighters initially weren’t certain what kind of craft was in the water because it was upside down. The rescue team righted it and brought it back to shore. Though the incident turned out to be a false alarm, Rainboth said the 911 caller did the right thing in alerting authorities. “There’s any number of reasons why a canoe or kayak would end up in the river, whether it

Transportation committee approves overnight parking ban changes Monthly parking fees to increase to $140 during winter months Alex Robinson

alex.robinson@metroland.com

Drivers could find themselves paying $140 per month for on-street parking this winter, if city council approves proposed changes to overnight parking ban rules. The transportation committee approved the changes on Oct. 7 for the overnight parking ban, which comes into effect during winter months any time the forecast calls for more than seven centimetres of snow from 1 a.m. to 7 a.m. The new policy would include towing cars that have been left on the street during the ban without a parking pass. Fines for drivers who leave their cars on the street will also increase from $65 (earlier in the night) and $85 to $75 (also earlier in the night) and $95. The city decided to explore possible changes after it racked up an $11-million shortfall in the city’s winter maintenance pot last year. City staff has said the ban has not worked as well as hoped as many cars have remained on the streets during major snowfalls, meaning plows have to return to the same roads two or three times to clear

them. Fees for on-street parking passes will also be increased during winter months from $59 monthly to $140. Monthly fees during the summer will be $30. The annual fee of $648 for a parking pass will remain the same. Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans, who sits on the transportation committee, said she would have liked to have seen the fee increases phased in over a longer period. “It seems like a very big change in a very short time,” she said at the meeting. “That’s a huge jump they wouldn’t have planned for financially.” Kevin Wylie, general manager of public works, said only 100 people bought winter month passes last year but did not buy passes for the summer as well. A total of 1,400 car owners had parking permits last winter and bylaw officers wrote 12,032 tickets during the parking ban between November 2014 and March 2015, according to city staff. The city held three consultations about the overnight parking ban in the spring in Overbrook, Glen Cairn in Kanata and at the Ron Kolbus-Lake-

Pending city council approval, the city is set to introduce a set of new regulations concerning the parking ban, which happens every time the forecast calls for more than seven centimetres of snow overnight. side Centre. There were 81 people in total who attended the sessions. Wylie said staff heard from residents that they were frustrated with the ban’s lack of flexibility. To deal with this, one of the proposed changes will give management the ability to call off the ban if a storm is going to last into the morning. “What residents told us is that there is a lack of options and that they feel

trapped from the parking ban,” he said at the transportation committee meeting. To give residents more options when a ban is called, the city would also make parking in city-owned parking garages free during bans. Deans blasted staff for not holding any consultations downtown. “That doesn’t make any sense to me,” she said.

Wylie said the consultations were open to the public, advertised on the city website and that residents could also submit their comments online. The new rules would also restrict on-street parking in new suburban subdivisions to only one side of the road so that they can be cleared. If approved by city council, the new rules will come into effect in November.

Museum turns into spooky village for Halloween Brier Dodge

brier.dodge@metroland.com

In Cumberland, the scientists of scare are museum staff. Since March, they’ve been brainstorming fears, and taking advantage of what one another are afraid of to create a creepy haunted village tour – not suitable for those under 14. “All of us have different fears, so we use those,” said Rachel Perkins, museum administrator at the Cumberland Heritage Village Museum. “It involves a lot of screams. We have a lot of volunteers who want to scare the bejeebers out of you.” The museum opened up the Haunted Historic Village on Oct. 9. It will run on Friday and Saturday nights until Oct. 30. The museum changes the experience every year so that it’s not a repeat experience. Most of what they have planned is kept under tight wraps, including room themes,

The event changes every year. decorations, and characters. It’s less blood and gore, and more creepy, though. Last year, visitors went in from the dark into an all white room. Suddenly, the lights would go out and the room would be pitch black.

When the lights went back on, they’d be face to face with a man in a gas mask. While that room won’t be featured in the 2015 haunted village, it’s the type of thing those who attend can expect. The whole experience takes

about 30 to 40 minutes through the village, which more often hosts family-friendly events or activities geared towards children. Elements are both outdoors, as well as inside the various structures at the museum.

Part of the reason for the haunted village is to connect a different demographic with the city-run museum, said Perkins. And it has worked. Now people from Toronto and Montreal will even inquire about coming back to experience the fright fest at the museum’s outdoor property. “The reputation has grown so much we’ve had to extend the hours,” Perkins said. The event now opens at 7 p.m. and takes the last group of the night through at 10:30 p.m. Guests travel through the village in groups of four. Tickets are now sold for specific time slots, and many are pre-sold ahead of time. Only 40 are available per night at the door. A lot of the event’s success can be chalked up to the volunteers who take part. A wide range of people show up each year to dress in costume and scare people.

Curtis Thibault, 17, is one of those students “It’s got better every year,” he said. “I like scaring people. There are a lot of screams.” It’s his third year taking part in the Haunted Historic Village. He brought along several school friends who still need hours. They helped work on set construction, and will play various parts in the spooky evening dressed in costumes. The many volunteers will be sure to keep visitors on their toes. “If you’ve been out in the rural areas at night, it’s already spooky,” Perkins said. “It’s about messing with people and messing with their fears.” The Cumberland Heritage Village Museum is located at 2940 Old Montreal Rd.

Conservative candidate’s absence at debate ‘slap in the face’ Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

One of the biggest questions raised during the only all-candidates’ debate in the federal Ottawa South riding could only be asked afterward given the truancy of the Conservative candidate. Some spectators and candidates took to social media to question why Dev Balkissoon was absent from the Hillcrest High School stage on Oct. 8. “I am registered and was considering voting Conservative. Why weren’t you at the all-candidates’ debate tonight?” Riverside Park resident Craig Searle publicly asked Balkissoon on Twitter. There was no public response from the candidate. NDP candidate George Brown also called out Balkissoon on Twitter. “Having a great time at the debate. Wish you were here,” he said. John Marshall, who helped organize the debate as president

of the Canterbury Community Association, called Balkissoon’s absence “a slap in the face,” considering the amount of effort and community collaboration that went into planning the event and ensuring all seven Ottawa South candidates would participate. Balkissoon bowed out of the forum the day before it was held. “Given the limited amount of time available until election day, we have made the decision to focus our energy on meeting constituents on their doorsteps, as we have found that this is the best way to hear the concerns, hopes and aspirations of the residents of Ottawa South,” Balkissoon’s campaign manager Greg McFarlane told event organizers in an email. The day after the debate, Balkissoon’s press secretary confirmed the candidate spent the evening knocking on more than 1,500 doors with his team. “We believe that meeting individuals one-on-one to hear

about their concerns is the best way to connect with voters,” Lilian Walsh said in an email. “Dev has been pleased to participate in several debates already during this campaign, including the Rogers TV debates,” she said, adding the team is encouraging voters to watch these. Other Ottawa South candidates said Balkissoon left after filming the Rogers English debate and did not take part in the French-language debate. Marshall said he wasn’t surprised by the cancellation given the recent trend of Conservative candidates not showing up for public debates, and confirmed that Balkissoon’s team unsuccessfully asked for an advance list of debate questions a week before the forum. Marshall expressed disappointment that residents didn’t have the opportunity to ask all registered candidates their questions. “He (Balkissoon) is representing the governing party.”

Ottawa South Conservative candidate Dev Balkissoon, centre, declined to attend the only debate in the riding, telling organizers the day before the Oct. 8 event that he would instead be concentrating his efforts on his door-to-door campaign.

PUBLIC CONSULTATION Policy Update for Pupil Accommodation Review Process The Ottawa-Carleton District School Board currently undertakes school accommodation reviews in accordance with Policy P118.PLG, School Accommodation Studies. The Ministry of Education has recently released an updated Pupil Accommodation Review Guideline (March 2015) and requires school boards to amend their policy documents to incorporate the requirements of the new guideline. These changes came about as a result of comments provided to the Ministry of Education from parents, schools/communities and school boards. In an effort to develop a more streamlined and efﬁcient accommodation review process, policy amendments include minimum standards required to ensure that valuable school and community input is heard when addressing the need for the movement of students, relocation of programming and/or the consolidation of facilities.

Police take a slice out of corn field marijuana grow-ops erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Ottawa drug cops beat marijuana growers to their illicit harvest, sweeping up more than 1,500 pot plants worth more than $1.5 million that were likely destined for Ottawa streets. Based on intelligence gathered by police and tips submitted to Crime Stoppers over the course of the year, drug investigators spent the past month harvesting 22 pot patches in 15 corn fields located on both sides of the Rideau River, south of Riverside South and south of Barrhaven. “That’s a pretty good haul. It’s money that’s not going to be used for all kinds of illicit activities so we’re pretty happy with that,” said acting Staff Sgt. Ian McDonell, head of the Ottawa police drug unit. The 2,000-kilogram seizure represents a significant loss of profits typically used to finance the cocaine and gun trades and human trafficking. The sheer volume of the crop

leads McDonell to suspect that organized crime is likely connected, since those involved would rely on a larger network, from planters and harvesters to distributors and street-level dealers. “These guys aren’t taking this $1.5 million and giving it to the Shepherds of Good Hope,” said McDonell. “These dollars support organized crime. “A (single) patch of 200 plants – that’s a lot to get rid of. It’s not just a couple of kids rolling and smoking it on their own. This isn’t just a couple of pot plants that were found out behind mom’s house.” The police marijuana eradication project takes place every autumn, though officers remain tight-lipped about when they typically swoop in on the suspect fields, as well as exact addresses of the crops so as not to tip off competing criminals and others interested in the crop. “Even 100 plants at $1,000 each – you go in and find one little patch, that’s big, big

Teachers at Hilson Avenue Public School stage a ‘Wynne Wednesday’ protest outside their facility on Oct. 7. The union representing public elementary teachers returned to the bargaining table this week.

Support workers take strike action as teachers return to table Steph Willems Steph.willems@metroland.com

The same day that the union representing public elementary teachers returned to the bargaining table, support staff at Ontario schools began taking strike action. The legal strike sanctions taken by educational support workers represented by the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation (OSSTF) were announced Oct. 5, the same day the actions commenced. In Ottawa, the labour action involves staff at both elementary and secondary schools. Affected are educational assistants and early childhood educators, office administrators and assistants, guidance staff, custodial and maintenance staff, language instructors and childcare staff. Various services will be withdrawn as part of the action, cautioned the Ottawa Carleton District School Board, which was still trying to gather information when they posted a bulletin to parents. Those services could include calling students to the office, monitoring entry to school buildings, school websites and newsletters, and assistance on special events. Controversy broke out soon after the announcement after it was revealed that school doors would go unlocked on buildings that choose to install safety-minded buzzer systems. Those systems were put in place at many Ontario schools following the Sandy Hook school massacre in Connecticut three years ago. On Oct. 6, Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson called it “disturbing” and “upsetting” that education professionals were neglecting to enact measures designed to keep students safe. On Oct. 7, NepeanCarleton MPP Lisa MacLeod was ejected from the Ontario Legislature after pressing Education Minister Liz Sandals on the matter. ‘Wynne Wednesdays’ As representatives from the Elementary Teacher’s Federation of Ontario (ETFO) returned to the bargaining table with officials from the province and Ontario Public School Boards’ Association

(OPSBA), the elementary teachers’ work-torule campaigned continued at public elementary schools. Talks had broken off on Sept. 11 after the ETFO rejected a ‘net-zero’ proposal that closely followed those offered to other teachers’ unions. Following early bargaining, Sandals was cautiously optimistic with the way things were progressing. “(It’s) not hugely fast progress, but there is progress being made and given the history with ETFO — where things have often seemed to be in reverse instead of forward — forward is good,” said Sandals the day after talks resumed. While both sides were meeting, ‘Wynne Wednesdays’ returned for a second week, with teaching staff staging a union picket outside their respective schools. The protests take place outside of school hours, and have yet to interfere with the ability of students and other staff to access the buildings. A memo sent to elementary teachers from the ETFO describes how the September offer from the province and OPSBA removed most of the “contentious demands” contained in earlier bargaining sessions, but still fell short of expectations. “This ignores our right to negotiate contracts that address the unique needs of our members and students,” reads the ETFO memo. “Elementary classes are, on average, larger than secondary classes. Elementary education is more affected by Ontario’s standardized testing and prescriptive curriculum expectations, which determine teacher workload and teachers’ ability to develop engaging lessons and cater to a student’s natural curiosity. Elementary educators face classrooms with wider ranges of student ability, which results in increased workload,” the memo said. The memo then slammed the province for “imposing an austerity agenda” on the education sector, citing net-zero bargaining’s impact on salaries, benefits, and the ability to negotiate smaller class sizes and educational supports. -With files from Torstar News Service

Walkley oďŹ&#x20AC;-ramp could be nixed from ďŹ nalized parkway plan Residents at odds with city speed data Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Residents against the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposed Walkley Road offramp from the Airport Parkway received a glimmer of hope it may not become reality, at least, in the short term. The $1-million connection, which has largely drawn the ire of local Riverside Park residents who worry it will bring too much trafďŹ c, and with it speeders and cut-through motorists, is part of the proposed Airport Parkway widening project. The ďŹ rst of three phases of the project, if approved, would

ERIN MCCRACKEN/METROLAND

Residents listen as Riverside Park resident Moira Toomey expresses concern over pedestrian and cyclist safety in light of traffic speeds on Walkley Road during a meeting on the proposed Walkley-parkway off-ramp on Oct. 7. see two parkway lanes added between BrookďŹ eld and Hunt Club roads by 2020. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re sitting with the

$32-million estimate that we did in 2013 and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going through this costing process now to reďŹ ne our design, ďŹ gure

out how much it costs,â&#x20AC;? Colin Simpson, senior project manager with the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s transportation planning department, told about 100 people during the Riverside Park Community and Recreation Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual general meeting at the Riverside Churches on Oct. 7. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And if weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re over budget, then weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have to try to phase certain elements or remove certain components, and the Walkley connection could be one of those,â&#x20AC;? he said. The off-ramp might be protected through the environmental assessment of the parkway expansion, which began in September 2014 and will continue for another eight months. But it could also prove to be unaffordable, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to manage your expectations and so far all the work that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done so far shows that we are on budget with the

Walkley connection, and everything ďŹ ts in,â&#x20AC;? said Simpson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re continuing to reďŹ ne the design and reďŹ ne the cost estimate.â&#x20AC;? The full estimate based on the ďŹ nal design will be available in February, when a third open house is planned. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll ďŹ gure out if it ďŹ ts. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll ďŹ gure out if things need to be delayed or removed from the overall design,â&#x20AC;? he said. Many residents living near Walkley Road West are opposed to the off-ramp, which they say will bring higher volumes of cut-through trafďŹ c, speeding and noise to their neighbourhoods â&#x20AC;&#x201C; concerns they aired during the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second open house on the project in June when the preliminary design was unveiled. However, city staff said trafďŹ c data points to an average speed of 56 km/hr on Walkley Road West, which has a posted

speed limit of 50 km/hr. But some residents question that ďŹ gure. Moira Toomey, who lives on Harkness Avenue and whose backyard faces Walkley Road, walks and cycles in her neighbourhood on a daily basis. She said one police ofďŹ cer advised her to ride her bike on the sidewalk due to speeding vehicles on the arterial road. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Please stay on the sidewalk. The trafďŹ c is travelling at least 80 km/hr,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Toomey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They never travel at 50. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not an average of 56.â&#x20AC;? The cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s project team believes the off-ramp would reduce trafďŹ c by about 100 to 150 cars per hour that currently get off the parkway at BrookďŹ eld, and cut along Flannery and Springland drives to get to McCarthy Road.

River Coun. Riley Brockington, left, city project manager Colin Simpson, Parsons consultant Mark Baker and David Hutchinson, president of the Riverside Park Community and Recreation Association, listen to concerns about the Walkley off-ramp .

The published a series of articles on my business. Now everyone knows how great we are!

Traffic signal would alleviate speeding: city staff Continued from page 24

The new Walkley off-ramp would also offer better connectivity for businesses and residents, as well as reduce travel times for emergency service vehicles, said Mark Baker with Parsons, who is involved in the project. Between 400 and 500 vehicles per hour are projected to use the new connection, with half turning left and heading west down Walkley, most of them en route to McCarthy Road. That represents a 100 to 150 vehicle increase per hour, representing an extra two to three cars per minute. Projections point to a 15 per cent increase in traffic along Walkley, from between 900 and 1,000 per hour to about 1,150, which is well within the arterial road’s capacity, Baker said. McCarthy Road would see 700 vehicles per hour during the afternoon commute. “It does raise a few flags,” he said, adding mitigation measures are being explored. Paul O’Grady, who lives on Southmore Drive, received applause when he asked why the city thinks mitigation measures on Southmore would work when mitigation measures, such as restricting turns during peak hours, haven’t curbed problems on Springland and Flannery drives. “What they haven’t addressed is that by moving

those problems off that section (of Flannery), you create problems in another area, in (the) Riverside Park southeast area,” O’Grady said, referring to McCarthy Road and Southmore and Thorndale drives. The plan also calls for the installation of a $300,000 to $500,000 traffic signal where the offramp would meet Walkley. The light would not only serve cyclists using a new multi-use pathway on the west side of the parkway, once expanded, but also curb speeding on Walkley. “The introduction of a signal here has the potential to reduce travel speeds on Walkley Road and provide an opportunity to provide gaps (in traffic),” Baker said. Following the open house planned for February, the results of the environmental assessment will go before the city’s transportation committee and then council in April. The assessment will be reviewed by Ontario’s Ministry of the Environment and those results will likely be available next June. During the review there will be opportunity for the public to consider the plans and to be involved in the process, Simpson said.

Westfest finds new home in Mechanicsville Laroche Park picked as site for popular arts and culture festival

goals with its funds. Though they felt compelled to stay in the area where residents and businesses had supported them for years, Martin said that Westfest would move to any space willing to host it. Now, the event can remain true to its “west” billing.

Steph Willems

steph.willems@metroland.com

After searching for a new home, Westfest has found a place to set up shop. On Oct. 8, producer Elaina Martin announced the popular west-end celebration of music, culture and the arts would move to Laroche Park in Mechasnicsville for 2016. In early September, organizers and residents alike were shocked to hear that the Westboro Village Business Improvement Area had withdrawn a funding grant to the festival, leaving the future of the event in jeopardy. The size of the grant was behind that decision, with the BIA opting to pursue other

“We’ve jumped through a lot of hoops and had green lights from everyone on this.” Elaina Martin, producer

“We’re very excited,” she said of the coming move. “There were many green spaces in Kitchissippi Ward that we were scouting, and there was a strong community desire to keep it in the community.” Martin said the location is ideal for space and accessibility, being located close to both

downtown and west-end neighbourhoods and easily reachable by bike path and transit. In the 12 years since Westfest launched, Martin and the festival have formed a healthy working relationship with the city – one that helped streamline and expedite the approvals process for next year’s festival, scheduled for June 10 to 12, 2016. “We’ve jumped through a lot of hoops and had green lights from everyone on this,” she said, adding that the Mechanicsville Community Association, which runs the space, has “accepted us with open arms.” The park setting of next year’s Westfest has Martin envisioning families bringing lawn chairs and their dogs to the event. She’s certain the festival – which will return to its traditional three-day length in 2016 – will give the Mechanicsville community a boost of “economic and cultural stimulation,” as well as recognition. Musical acts will be announced closer to the event date.

Holocaust survivor fundraising concert has a poignant past Jewish Family Services initiative attracts renowned violinist Steph Willems

steph.willems@metroland.com

In 1933, Eugene Drucker’s father – an accomplished violinist living in Cologne, Germany – was prevented from finishing the Brahms Violin Concerto by members of the newly empowered Nazi party on account of his Jewish heritage. The younger Drucker, himself a renowned violinist, symbolically finished his father’s interrupted performance a lifetime later, performing the concerto in Israel earlier this year. Drucker will bring that same concert to Ottawa’s National Gallery on Nov. 1, in support of Jewish Family Services’ efforts to fund social and recreational pro-

gramming for Russian Jewish seniors now living in Ottawa. Joined by pianist Marija Stroke – whose father escaped from the Nazis in 1943 – Drucker will perform Brahms, Bach and Prokofiev in memory of those who survived, and perished, in the Holocaust. “We wanted to replicate it here,” said Mark Zarecki, executive director of JFS. “When he understood what we wanted to do, he agreed to do it at little cost – as long as the money raised went to Holocaust survivors.” JFS will collaborate with the Jewish Federation of Ottawa for the fundraiser, which will kick off the federation’s Holocaust Education Month. The existence of the Russian Jewish seniors group was thrown into uncertainty last year, after an outside funding source withdrew a crucial annual grant. For JFS, funding the group themselves with the help of the community seemed like

the best solution. “At JFS, we’ve made a very specific effort to reach out to marginalized groups – the homeless, Arab refugees, Holocaust survivors and many others,” said Zarecki. “Our own community has seniors – including Holocaust survivors – who don’t have the supports they need. We’re using (the concert) as a vehicle to sustain the funding.” Due to the advanced age of those survivors, the program is viewed as an interim project. Zarecki said JFS is looking to raise $70,000 to sustain the program for four to five years. Tickets will be issued with a charitable receipt, with a reception following the concert. Lower-priced tickets with no receipt will be offered as well. Ticket and concert information is available from Rotem Brajtman at 613-722-2225, ext. 467, or by emailing rbrajtman@jfsottawa.com.

The Elmvale Acres library branch will close for one week to allow for technological upgrades. The second of three temporary closures taking place Oct. 18 to 25 comes on the heels of the first fourday closure in mid-September. The upcoming closure is the next step in the process to replace check-out and information desks with self-serve check-out machines and a new one-stop service desk where users can ask staff for assistance. The machines allow users to scan multiple materials at once. From books and magazines to CDs and DVDs, library materials have

all been outfitted with radio-frequency identification tags. The new multimillion-dollar system, which is expected to be fully installed at branches across Ottawa by 2017 or 2018, is being touted by library staff as a time saver, cost efficient in the long run and more convenient for library users since materials can be quickly scanned and removed or added to library cards. The Elmvale Acres branch book drop will be available during the upcoming closure. For all other library services, users are being directed to the Alta Vista branch at 2516 Alta Vista Dr. and the Greenboro branch at 363 Lorry Greenberg Dr.

South Ottawa budget discussion driven by traffic Mayor Jim Watson joined councillors and residents in fifth of eight city budget consultations Megan DeLaire mdelaire@metroland.com

Roadway and traffic issues drove much of the talk at the city’s fifth 2016 budget consultation on Oct. 6, but that doesn’t mean issues like accessibility and city asset disposal took the back seat. Residents at the Ottawa south consultation even brought a host of cost-saving suggestions to the meeting at the Jim Durrell Recreation Centre with Mayor Jim Watson, Tom Fedec, the city’s manager of financial planning and budgets, and River Coun. Riley Brockington, Alta-Vista Coun. Jean Cloutier and Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans. The consultations mark an effort by the city to consult residents about spending priorities and efficiencies before drafting next year’s budget, rather than after. The city has $3.1 billion to spend in 2016, with much of that tied to services mandated by the province, or with service standard levels that would drop below an acceptable level if funding were cut, like the paramedic service. The city is forecasting a deficit of $41 million and the mayor has sworn to keep his promise not to raise residential property taxes by more than two per cent. So cost savings solutions and carefully prioritized spending are the major themes

of this year’s budget. “My strong suggestion is that in a $3.1-billion budget it’s not a daunting task for us to find efficiencies,” Watson said in response to one resident who protested the decision to cap the property tax increase at 2 per cent. “We’re now negotiating with Hydro Ottawa to run our street lights,” he said, providing an example of the type of cost saving strategy the city is willing to adopt. “That will save us about $5 to $600,000 per year.” Greely resident Joan Olinik steered the discussion toward accessibility and road safety priorities when she implored Coun. Cloutier to add a cross walk to Russell Road, in front of the Perley and Rideau Veterans’ Health Centre, to ensure safer crossing for veterans like her father. “In order for the veterans and residents of the Perley to get up onto the sidewalk (on the other side), it’s dangerous,” Olinik said. “The sidewalk curbs are not designed for people in wheelchairs. To cross the road you have twoway traffic, and no one driving through there is sticking to 50 km/h.” Coun. Brockington took the opportunity to list speeding as the number one issue and top priority in his ward. “The number one safety and security issue in River Ward, from my perspective, is speed and traffic,” Brockington said. “We have our share of other issues but speeding is prevalent throughout this ward. There is Strategic Initiative money available, and my challenge to my community is to have that dialogue about prioritizing which streets we need to address.” Brockington also identified a need to prioritize public transit and existing roads over the construction of new roads. “Before we expand our road

“My strong suggestion is that in a $3.1-billion budget it’s not a daunting task for us to find efficiencies.” Mayor Jim Watson

Ottawa east resident John Dance hit the targets of road safety, budget priorities and cost savings opportunities when he suggested using more aggressive mobile ticketing tactics to discourage speeding and red-light-running and raise capital for the city. “In terms of revenue build-

ing options, we know that raising money the way we’ve been ticketing traffic violations is inefficient,” Dance said. “We need more mobile traffic radar and more means of catching people speeding.” Watson answered that while the province banned photo radar as a means to tackle speeding within municipalities, the city plans to install five new red light cameras per year, for up to 20 cameras. At least residents suggested enforcing a congestion charge on vehicles operating downtown in order to raise revenue and reduce the density of traffic on downtown city streets during the day. Watson responded that to do so would contradict the city’s efforts to get people downtown. “We want people to come to the downtown and if you start making it more expen-

sive, that’s going to hurt the businesses and the shops and the restaurants,” Watson said. “We’ve gone a long way to encourage people to live downtown.” Other cost savings suggestions included reducing OC Transpo discounts for students and seniors, increasing development charges and collaborating more with private donors to fund public projects. While many suggestions were met with responses by the mayor and councillors explaining what made them unfeasible, one man’s costsaving suggestion had pens scratching across the room. A long-time city employee who did not want to be named said that he had observed a common practice in the city’s construction services of discarding used – but still functioning – equipment. He suggested profiting from

city asset disposal by selling used equipment online or at a discounted price to smaller or less affluent municipalities. Following the meeting, Watson referred back to that suggestion in explaining how ongoing public budget consultations can deliver solutions that the city hasn’t yet considered. “I think some of the suggestions that come up from time to time we’ve heard before, so we’ve been able to research an answer to them,” Watson said. “But others, for instance this gentleman who said we don’t do a very good job of disposing of used equipment and suggested we go sell it on eBay, well I’ll follow up with my staff about that. Some suggestions will find their way into the budget, others will not. They have to be implementable and legal and reasonable.”

SENS EXTRA

Better, faster, stronger Sens first round pick leaves camp with contract but returns to junior adam.kveton@metroland.com

The Ottawa Senators first pick of the NHL 2015 draft, Thomas Chabot, has left Ottawa with a contract and two main aspects of his game to work on to improve his chances of making the team’s roster at next season’s training camp. The club signed Chabot, an 18-year-old, 6-foot-2 defenceman to a three-year entry-level contract, general manager Bryan Murray announced on Sept. 30. Though Chabot has now returned to play with the Saint John Sea Dogs in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, he said he was very satisfied with his first training camp experience with the Senators. “They told me I had a great camp and I knew I had a great camp,” said Chabot. “It’s hard to go (to camp) and not make it (on the team), but I wasn’t really thinking about it. I was just focusing to get to learn and enjoy the experience and live it day by day and try to get better,” he

said. “To be back now and to get back in junior with a contract in your hands, it feels real good.” The training camp was one of the first opportunities Chabot has had to play with and against players older than himself, he said. “Everything was quicker; everybody was stronger, so it was something really different.” While Chabot worked to adjust his game, using his own speed and trying to simplify his game, he said speed and power are the two major things he will have to work on. “You’ve always got to be faster, but I’m going to try to be stronger … to be strategic for me to battle against older guys,” Chabot said. “I have some things to learn in my game, but first thing is to be stronger in my game and develop physically.” Chabot said he is aiming to become a player with a strong two-way game with an emphasis on offence, and strong skating ability who’s not afraid to carry the puck.

GOOD CREDIT? BAD CREDIT? NOT SURE?

He listed Blackhawks defenceman Duncan Keith and L.A. Kings defenceman Drew Doughty among his inspirations. Returning to the Sea Dogs, Chabot has earned an assist after two games in which the Sea Dogs defeated the Gatineau Olympiques 4-3 and the Shawinigan Cataractes 5-2. “I know we have a great team, we have a lot of good players, so I know it’s going to be an exciting year,” he said. Last year, Chabot recorded 41 points with 12 goals and 29 assists, in addition to 62 penalty minutes in 66 games. Asked who his dream team was growing up, Chabot said it was the Montreal Canadiens, but added, “I wouldn’t mind anywhere to get drafted. (Getting drafted by the Sens) was something special for me.” SENS START SEASON

Nat and Nat - Natalie Cousineau and Nathalie Borduas - will take a trip of a lifetime in 2016, as the friends plan to compete in the Trophée Roses des Sables in Morocco. Translated in English, the Desert Rose Trophy is an allfemale, francophone race in SUVs and 4x4’s through the Moroccan desert. It’s well known in France and Quebec, but has a smaller anglophone following. Borduas, who has spent most of the past decade in Orléans but just moved to Findlay Creek, will compete alongside her former co-worker, Gatineau’s Cousineau. The 2015 event started Oct. 7, but the pair are already making plans and beginning preparations for their 2016 trip. Neither of them have orienteering or any sort of competitive driving experience. Out of tradition, the event starts in France, where teams either start with their own vehicle, or rent an appropriate vehicle for the trip. They then drive through Spain to a ferry that takes them to Morocco. There, they complete a six-day race through various checkpoints. They need to rely on orienteering skills to drive the most efficient route from point A to point B through the sandy roads during 10- to 15hour long days. Cousineau had heard of the race before, but what really got her interested in participating was watching a replay on a French sports channel one day this summer. “When I saw it, I felt like I really needed to do it, so I contacted Nathalie,” she said. “I’m 44-years-old, and I need something challenging in my life. And it helps some causes that really hit home.” Teams are required to raise money for various charities, including a Quebec breakfast club program. “I’ve been involved in

The all-female road race that they will attend in 2016 will see them navigate a vehicle through the sand dunes of Morocco. many things, so it’s right up my alley,” Borduas said. “I’ve done the Quebecois Fear Factor, I was an army reservist. I like to try anything once.” The women have their work cut out for them over the next 12 months. There will be a training course in Tremblant, Que., where they will learn to drive through sand and use compasses property, but other research and training has already started. While there are staff, such as mechanics for car problems, along the route, teams get docked points if they need help. So they’ll also have to brush up on basic mechanic skills, such as a quick tire change. It’s not a simple register and show up event, either. Teams are required to handle all of their own logistics, from car rental to supplies to dig themselves out of sandpits to accommodation. They’ve already spent hours scouring blogs and Facebook groups and connecting with women from Quebec who have completed the adventure course in the past. They’ve also spent time adding up the costs. It’s estimated that with the $10,000 entry fee, transportation and all the rentals, it’ll cost the

pair $25,000 to compete in the car rally. So they’ve started undertaking what might be the most challenging aspect of the event: fundraising and sponsorship. They have two sponsors signed on already, and have their first fundraising event, a spaghetti supper, planned for Oct. 16. As part of the sponsorship, they’re going to place sponsor decals on their own vehicles they drive at home for a year. While they expect to be competitive once the race starts, the women they’ve connected with online have been supportive in sharing their different approaches to fundraising with the women, named “Les Nats de Coeur” for their team name. It translates to the Nats of Hearts, a play on the queen of hearts phrase. No matter how much work the next year involves, both to prepare for the skills needed, physical training, and financial challenges, the duo are confident it’ll be worth it once they actually get to the 200team event. “It will be good to show other women,” Borduas said. “I work hard, but it’s accessible for anyone.”

Turkey hash a great brunch or dinner idea This hash is a great brunch idea. The eggs also make it a pleasing last-minute dinner. Serve hash with hot sauce if you like lots of heat. Preparation Time: 15 minutes Cooking Time: 1-1/2 hours Serves: six to eight Ingredients

• 1 tbsp (15 mL) extra-virgin olive oil • 1/4 cup (50 mL) minced fresh parsley • 1 clove garlic, minced • 1 tsp (5 mL) chili powder • Salt and pepper • 1 whole turkey breast (about 5 lb/2 kg), bone in, skin on and trimmed of fat Hash: • 5 red potatoes, cubed, about 1 lb (16 oz) or 2 cups (500 mL) leftover potatoes • 1/4 cup (50 mL) butter • 1 onion, chopped

• 2 cloves garlic, minced • 1 hot pepper, seeded and minced • 1 each sweet red and yellow pepper, chopped • 10 Ontario Eggs • 1/4 cup (50 mL) milk or whipping cream • Salt and pepper • 16 corn tostadas • 1-1/2 cups (375 mL) shredded cheddar cheese • Minced fresh parsley Preparation

In bowl, mix together oil, parsley, garlic, chili powder, and salt and pepper to taste. Pat turkey dry with paper towel; rub mixture under skin and on both sides of breast to evenly distribute. Place skin side up, on greased rack in large roasting pan. Roast turkey in 425º F (220ºC) oven for 30 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350ºF (180ºC); cook until

thickest part of breast registers 160ºF (70ºC) on instant read thermometer, about 1 hour. Transfer to cutting board and let rest for 20 minutes. Remove skin and meat from bone and slice. Set aside. (Make-ahead: Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days.) Hash: Meanwhile, in saucepan, cover potatoes with enough water to cover by 1-inch (2.5 cm); bring to boil. Salt water and reduce heat to medium; simmer until potatoes are tender, about 12 minutes. Drain and let cool. In large skillet, heat half of the butter over mediumhigh heat. Add onion, garlic and hot pepper; cook, about 3 minutes. Add red and yellow peppers; cook until vegetables are tender and slightly golden, about 4 minutes. Add potatoes; cook un-

til warmed through, about 4 minutes. Meanwhile, in large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and salt and pepper to taste. In large nonstick skillet, melt remaining butter over medium heat. Add egg mixture; cook until no liquid remains, about 4 minutes. For each serving, put 2 tostadas on plate; top each with 1/4 cup (50 mL) chopped turkey, 1/2 cup (125 mL) potato mixture and follow with eggs. Sprinkle with cheese and parsley. Nutrition

Everyone played a role in sauerkraut making

he cabbages were ready.  The heads filled four bushel baskets in the summer kitchen, and Mother had covered them with old quilts.  She said to keep them safe from an early frost, which wasn’t likely since it was still September, and they were well protected in the snug summer kitchen.   We knew it was to keep the mice off them!   Mother worried constantly that a mouse would come in contact with anything we might eventually put in our mouths! It was a Saturday night and everything was ready.   The big barrel had been well scoured, sun-dried, and now rolled into the kitchen waiting for the shredded cabbage. We always made sauerkraut on a Saturday night.   It was then the whole family would be together, and this was a true family venture!  And it all happened around the old

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories pine kitchen table that had been scrubbed within an inch of its life. Father had the shredder ready.  It was a wood box affair about ten inches wide, a couple feet long, with a piece of board smooth as silk from many years of usage, fitting exactly the top of the box.  In this board, was a sharp blade imbedded in the middle, and only Father manned this part of the operation.   Everett was once allowed to use the shredder and ended up with a goodly portion of a finger cut off which old Doctor Murphy had to stitch back on!   So Father took no chances.  He was the

shredder.  Every one of us had a job to do when it came to sauerkraut night.   All decked out in long white aprons, (Father thought Mother was taking this cleanliness a bit too far, but he wore one anyway to stop an argument which he was sure to lose), and with our hands scrubbed red, we were ready to begin. Emerson and Everett were in charge of bringing in the heavy bushel baskets of cabbage heads.  Earl took the heads out, one at a time, and handed them to Audrey and me sitting at one end of the table.  Our job was to peel off the outer leaves, and toss them into one of the empty

baskets (they would be fed to the pigs).  Mother cored the heads and handed them, one after another to Father at the shredder. One head at a time was placed in the board with a groove and blade in it, and Father shoved the cabbage back and forth over the blade, filling the cavity underneath.   Once it was full, Father dumped the shredded cabbage into the big barrel beside him. Every so often, the entire operation would stop, and Mother would take the wood plunger we used to whip cream into butter, and pound down the cabbage in the barrel, take a cup of coarse salt from the bag and toss it over the shredded cabbage. I loved the smell of the cabbage, which I was sure started to ferment as soon as it hit the barrel, but of course, it didn’t.  It would have to sit for weeks before we could

truly call it sauerkraut! By the time the last bit of cabbage had been shredded and pounded down into the barrel, it was ready for Father to put the round disc of well scrubbed wood on top of it all.   A large stone, so big only Father and Everett or Emerson could lift it, had been sitting in the dish pan filled with clean water from the pump.   It too, had been scrubbed clean, and I loved to hear Father tell how it was the very same stone used by his Father when he was a young boy.  The very same stone used to press down the shredded cabbage years and years ago.   I would look at the stone, and marvel at the mystery of it all.   It always amazed me how we seemed to have the exact amount of cabbage to fill the barrel.  It would take the strength of Father and the

three boys to carefully roll the filled barrel out to the summer kitchen, where it would again be covered with a clean sheet and then a quilt.   Days and sometimes weeks would pass before we could use the sauerkraut.  And often it would be frozen solid in the barrel, and had to be chipped with a special tool made just for that purpose. As Fall stretched into winter, out in the summer kitchen was a barrel that would augment our meals, and we would enjoy the fruits of a true family evening...and savour the wonderful German dishes Father so often made.  Just like his Father did a generation before him.

Erin McCracken/Metroland

Residents key to driving traffic enforcement efforts: police Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Traffic issues on your street driving you to distraction? Traffic officers are looking to boost their intelligence-led efforts and better tackle the No. 1 complaint across Ottawa with a lot of help from residents. The first step is reporting traffic problems by directly calling or submitting information online to police, rather than only notifying their city councillorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All of that third-hand information eventually trickles down to the Ottawa Police Service, but we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a case number all the time,â&#x20AC;? Const. Steve Tate told Riverside Park residents during the Riverside Park Community and Recreation Association annual general meeting on Oct. 7. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to be able to contact you. We need to be able to get the information first hand,â&#x20AC;? said his partner, Const. Troy Froats. The two officers are part of a five-member team based out of the OrlĂŠans police station that specializes in complaint-based traffic policing. Their coverage area spans Cumberland to the east, the Ottawa River to the north, Bronson Avenue to the west and throughout south Ottawa. If residents contact police directly, problems are more accurately tracked and police will know the â&#x20AC;&#x153;meat and potatoes of the complaintâ&#x20AC;? to better address problem areas.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to know a corner has had 16 complaints for speeding,â&#x20AC;? Tate said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If there are no or limited complaints, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s difficult for an officer to be sent out to a specific zone.â&#x20AC;? MAKE THE RIGHT CALL

Make the Right Call is a campaign that equips residents with the information they need to contact the appropriate authorities â&#x20AC;&#x201C; information that can make all the difference. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all familiar with what was going on at the end of last year and the beginning of this year. The guns and gangs really took a hit within the city of Ottawa. A lot of resources were reallocated,â&#x20AC;? said Froats. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At that time there were a lot of shootings in the city of Ottawa. Some of those resources were to target specifically that.â&#x20AC;? The officers also reminded residents details matter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We do get a lot of calls with â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I saw a red car.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; And that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help us out,â&#x20AC;? Tate said, adding his unit receives about five such calls a day. A vehicleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s make and model, even a partial licence plate number mean police donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to look for a needle in a haystack when tracking down a prolific problem driver. Even reporting minor incidents, such as vehicles that have been broken into but nothing was stolenm, is beneficial. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That is extremely important because, No.1, it shows a trend for the area that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in,â&#x20AC;? Tate

said, adding police respond to trends in crime, which can translate into a greater police presence. Residents who gathered for the meeting at the Riverside Churches were also reminded that distracted driving fines were recently given more teeth. Drivers caught using their cellphone can be slapped with a $490 ticket and three demerit points. Novice drivers can lose their licence upon conviction for 30 days. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you want to see somebody cry, you give them a ticket for (distracted driving),â&#x20AC;? said Tate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The first two tickets I laid, one was to a young lady and one was a man. And they honestly cried. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But the leading cause of death on our roadways is distracted driving and the main culprit of that â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a lot of these headon crashes is someone doing a quick text (and) veering over the centre line.â&#x20AC;? Drivers can use their phones when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re parked on private property and while parked on the side of the road though not obstructing traffic, Tate said, and emphasized that phones are not to be used at a red light. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Get out of the habit of just holding your cellphone. Put it down,â&#x20AC;? said Tate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Case law already shows simply holding it can be enough of an obstruction that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s considered dangerous.â&#x20AC;?

Missing Conservative candidates a national trend: website says Staff

After Conservative candidates failed to appear for at least two local debates, one website is asking if the federal party has provided Tories with a blanket ban on showing up for public debates. The website www.1votematters.ca is tracking no-show Conservative candidates across the country. “The Conservative Party of Canada have told their candidates to not attend riding debates or to talk to the media. For an incumbent party seeking re-election, this lack of

willingness to engage, discuss their platform and listen to the electorate is disturbing,” the website says on a map page that allows voters to track reports of Conservatives who have missed meetings, refused media interviews and removed candidates. In Ottawa, Mayor Jim Watson’s Oct. 5 invitation to all Ottawa-area Conservative candidates was declined by all. When Tory Dev Balkissoon was absent from the stage at Hillcrest High School on Oct. 8 for an all-candidates debate in the Ottawa South riding, others at the main table

and some spectators tweeted at him, asking where he was. On Oct. 4, a full community centre in Bells Corners hosted a debate, and every candidate except Conservative Andy Wang appeared. The website www.1votematters.ca is asking voters to keep tracking missing Conservatives candidates by filing reports on the website so they can be added to the national map. Metroland Media was unable to reach the Conservative Party of Canada for comment.

Brad Sinopoli cheers uOttawa on in Panda Game Gee-Gees fall to Ravens in double OT thriller Alex Robinson

alex.robinson@metroland.com

While his alma mater’s football team suffered a double overtime loss in the Panda Game on Oct. 3, this year’s matchup was a sweet homecoming for Brad Sinopoli. For the past few years, the Ottawa RedBlacks receiver could not even watch the annual game between his uOttawa Gee-Gees and the Carleton University Ravens as it was not televised in Calgary where Sinopoli played in the CFL to start his pro career. This year’s game was the first he has attended in a while, as he spent the past four sea-

sons in Calgary before signing with the RedBlacks. “It’s exciting. There’s a great atmosphere,” Sinopoli told Metroland Media on the sidelines at TD Place before the Panda Game started. “It’s good to see a lot of guys I used to play with.” Sinopoli grew up in Peterborough before becoming a star quarterback at uOttawa for four years. He was drafted by the Calgary Stampeders in the fourth round of the 2011 CFL draft and spent his first two CFL seasons as a third-string quarterback before converting to the receiver position. The former Hec Crighton Trophy winner has been part of a core group of receivers that were signed by the RedBlacks in the offseason that have been a large part of the team’s success this year. The fifth-year receiver has racked up 863 yards and two touchdowns through the first

14 games of the season, in which the team has compiled an 8-6 record. “The support we get is incredible,” Sinopoli said of the RedBlacks’ season so far. “We’ve sold out most of our games. We’ve had great games at home so far and we’ve had a good year, and that’s the important part. We’re winning so everything’s better when you win.” Sinopoli said the crowd at TD Place has played a big role in the team’s success in home games and has been louder than even raucous Saskatchewan Roughriders’ fans. “There have been couple games where afterwards I’ve said ‘That’s the loudest stadium I’ve ever played in in my career,’” he said. “It’s been incredible. When we’ve needed them to make noise, they’ve come through.” Sinopoli has gotten the chance to do something not

many athletes get the chance to do – play in the same stadium professionally that he did in university. He remarked the stadium is in drastically different shape then it was when he played his Panda Games there. The south side stands had been demolished before his tenure with uOttawa and the redevelopment of Lansdowne Park had not come to fruition yet. “It was good to come home where my family and friends are and to a stadium that I played in before,” he said of his move back to Ottawa. “Ottawa is a great city and I’m just ecstatic to be back.” A small crew of Sinopoli’s teammates from his new team joined him on the sideline to cheer his old team in the Panda Game. They witnessed the Gee-Gees fall 48-45 to the Ravens in double overtime, despite leading late in the

tawa players. “They’re lucky they can play and be part of this crowd and be part of the tradition.”

Mark Fraser signs with hometown Ottawa Senators Blackburn Hamlet-raised player signs oneyear contract Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

Pre-season games don’t usually go down in the history books as anything special, especially for veteran NHL players who have taken part in numerous pre-season games and training camps. But for Mark Fraser, who was signed to a one-year contract with the Ottawa Senators, there’s no doubt that Oct. 3 was a game tol remember. The 29-year-old, who was

born and raised in Blackburn Hamlet, played his first ever game for his hometown team, the Ottawa Senators. A few days prior to the game, Fraser wasn’t certain if he’d dress for the game, or be passed up in favour of another player. He’s moved back and forth from the NHL and the AHL through his hockey career, and while he has certainly seen minutes on the ice, hasn’t been a starting line-up player consistently – so it wasn’t a given that he’d dress for the final Senators pre-season game that Saturday evening. After a training session at the Canadian Tire Centre on Oct. 1, he said he was trying not to get his hopes – or his family’s – up too much. “I still have a long road ahead as far as making an im-

pact to earn a spot on the team,” he said, when asked if family and friends were clamouring to get tickets for the game. But there he was on the roster on Oct. 3, wearing number 54, a change from the 33 originally assigned to him, and printed in the game’s program. He said it was simply a switch to reflect closer to his former number, 45, with the Leafs. He played his first game for the team he grew up with, the Ottawa Senators. “It was sort of an unexpected turn of events, but I really couldn’t be happier,” Fraser said. “I’m excited, I know a lot of friends and family are. So it’s an exciting time for everyone.” Fraser grew up in Blackburn Hamlet, a community he said is “very proud”, and attended Gloucester High School. He played briefly with

the Gloucester Rangers junior A team, before moving to the OHL’s Kitchener Rangers. He was selected in the third round of the 2005 NHL entry draft by the New Jersey Devils, and has since played for a number of AHL teams, as well as the Toronto Maple Leafs and Edmonton Oilers. Now back home, he’s living in a central Ottawa property he has, but has made trips back home to the Hamlet to see his family. “So far spent a few meals back in Blackburn Hamlet at my mom’s place,” he said, adding she makes him things like breakfast food or grilled cheese sandwiches. “It’s just the little things that moms do, that’s been nice for me to have again.” He said he doesn’t feel a lot of pressure being back home, especially having already

played in the Toronto market for the Maple Leafs and the AHL Marlies, but it might have been a different story earlier in his career.

“There will consistently be people in my corner. More than anything I look at the love and support as a positive more than added pressure.” MARK FRASER

“I think I learned a lot playing in a market like Toronto to be honest, just to ignore a lot of the so called white noise,” he said. “There will consistently

be people in my corner. More than anything I look at the love and support as a positive more than added pressure.” Fraser, known as a hard-hitting defensive player, knows he has his work cut out for him to prove to coaches he’s at home in Ottawa and deserves playing time in the NHL. “I know this community so heavily revolves around the organization here,” he said. “Hopefully, I can be an impact player and hopefully sink my teeth into giving back to the community that I’ve grown up in.” For now though, Fraser will have be satisfied playing for the baby Sens in Binghamton, where Ottawa has its AHL farm team as Fraser has been assigned to the AHL squad after the Senator’s traning camp came to an end.

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

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

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, delve deeper to get to know a new acquaintance more closely. There is more to this person than what you will see on the surface, so don’t hesitate to connect. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, expect to be pulled in a million directions over the next several days. Keep a cool head and you will handle this situation with the same flare you always do. GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Take a step back and reassess a particular situation this week, Gemini. A step back and a new perspective might be just what you need to make the most of this situation. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, you sometimes have a sixth sense about you, and it guides you through the tough decisions that need to be made. Rely on your intuition for something major this week. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, you will be the king (or queen) of your domain this week. Others will respect your final decision on many issues, and you will feel comfortable being the head honcho. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, you cannot dictate every situation. Not only can you get frazzled, but also others may begrudge your taking over all of the time. Go with the flow once in a while.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, if you have any tricks up your sleeve, now is a good time to pull them all out. People are expecting serious productivity and you can deliver. SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, this week presents a great opportunity to allow a colleague to take over the reins of a big project. This person is fully capable and ready for the responsibility. SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, others may turn up at your door this week seeking assistance. Don’t be surprised by the sudden visitors, and do your best to send them off with what they need. CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, with so much on your schedule, you have to give some serious thought to prioritizing. Otherwise, you may expend energy that cannot be wasted. AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 You have been indecisive of late, Aquarius. While you may not know which way to go regarding an important decision, trust your instincts and you won’t be unhappy. PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Treat yourself well this week, Pisces. Dine out at an upscale restaurant or indulge in a spa treatment. You deserve something special. 1015
