Candidate draws fire for confusion Erin McCracken and Jennifer McIntosh
erin.mccracken@metroland.com
News - A GloucesterSouth Nepean candidate is drawing criticism from three incumbent councillors, including a former employer. Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Steve Desroches said he has been fielding questions from residents in the ward and hearing concerns raised by several other councillors
regarding “some misperception” as to how council candidate Michael Qaqish is representing himself in his election campaign. “In speaking to some residents, there appears to be some misunderstanding that I have endorsed Michael Qaqish,” Desroches added in a statement. “That is not the case and I have not endorsed his campaign.” See INCUMBENTS, page 2

Ottawa South News - Thursday, October 23, 2014
Desroches said while he could not comment on issues related to a former employee of his, “in keeping with the advice of the city clerk’s office,” he felt compelled to publicly provide clarification. “The questions are more about an endorsement or an implied endorsement and the impression that some residents have experienced,” Desroches told The News. “They’re looking for clarification and I think part of it is they trust me, that they can ask me questions about the suitability of candidates, so I am under some pressure from residents to answer their questions and to be open and honest with them.” For that reason he turned down the Riverside South Community Association’s offer to give introductory remarks during a recent candidates’ forum. “I could see that I would be called upon to clarify, to respond to statements as to their factuality and that,” he said. In his statement, Desroches said “residents of the ward know that I take my personal accountability to residents very seriously. I am very proud of my personal efforts and my single-handed initiative to advance key projects in the ward as their elected city councillor.” Qaqish, who worked on Desroches’ staff from 2008 to 2012, responded saying he has not taken credit for Desroches’ work. “Of course I don’t and never have taken personal credit for Steve’s accomplishments, but I do express my pride in the important role I played throughout those (four-and-a-half) years of service to him and to the people of GloucesterSouth Nepean,” he said in an email. “I have the highest respect for Steve Desroches, who has served our community and our city with dedication and diligence and achieved much for all of us here in Gloucester- South Nepean, and he deserves all the credit for those accomplishments and for being a model leader for his staff and all others.” Desroches’ accomplishments belong to him, said Qaqish, but added that in
working for the councillor, particularly in his role as executive assistant, he received “excellent” performance appraisals and regularly salary increases “and that speaks for itself about my record of service over those (four-anda-half) years.” Alta Vista Ward Coun. Peter Hume, who is not seeking re-election after 23 years on council, is also speaking out, alleging Qaqish has not been clear with voters. “I think it’s disingenuous to be taking credit for major accomplishments when really you are a councillor’s assistant and your job was to answer the phone and to direct residents (on) how they could get a green bin (and) where they could find information about services that you might require,” Hume said. “But to say, you know, ‘I was responsible for the Strandherd-Armstrong bridge, I was responsible for making sure a high school got built in that community’ – that’s just factually incorrect.” Qaqish said he went to work with Desroches in 2008 and was promoted to the position of executive assistant in 2010. In his statement, Qaqish said “after serving alongside Coun. Desroches” he served as policy advisor to Coun. David Chernushenko from 2012 to January 2014. “Most people know what (executive assistants’) functions are,” Qaqish wrote. “They are critically important members of the team in every important aspect of an elected official’s many roles, be it, for one example, negotiating and developing policy and program advice in all relations with city permanent staff, other elected officials, key interests in the community.” Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder said she is glad Desroches decided to speak out. “It needs to be said,” said the incumbent, who is campaigning to again represent Barrhaven Ward. “It’s been very frustrating because from day one the camp has been built around really deluding the public into thinking that he had already served in this role.”

Police look to ID third person in McCarthy Road shooting Erin McCracken

Kenny Bryden, head of the guns and gangs unit, said of the man at the gas station. “It’s a person that we believe was either at the crime scene or ‌ near the crime scene or maybe spoken to somebody that was and we believe definitely has some answers to questions that we have.â€? And while additional photos of other individuals likely won’t be released, Bryden said. “We certainly do think there might be other people, other persons of interests – that they’ve been in the car, or ‌ in or around the scene itself or spoken to people that were at the scene. “We’re hoping with the most recent release, that we generate a conversation around that.â€? While no one was injured during shooting – which investigators are calling a targeted attack – there were a number of near-misses. Nine-millimeter bullets were fired into one unoccupied house, and ripped into an attached home in behind. The projectiles flew over the heads of Dave Brown and his wife Carol, who were asleep in their upstairs bedroom. Another 9mm unspent bullet was found at the scene. Bullets also tore into another home where a woman was sleeping in an upstairs bedroom with her young child. Police are working on the theory the likely target of the gun violence were the previous

Police issued images of two males on Aug. 29 following a shooting on Aug. 17 around 6 a.m. at the Quarry co-operative housing complex at 3275 McCarthy Rd., near Paul Anka Drive. The initial round of photos garnered tips from the public, which allowed police to confirm the identities of the individuals, who investigators

Investigators hope to crack the case of an early morning shooting in a co-operative housing neighbourhood on McCarthy Road in August. tenants of that unit, who had moved out some months prior.

Their bags are usually so full some teachers have to ship stuff back because they’ve built so much.” One year, teachers crafted working telescopes from Pringles potato chip containers. “We try to give them the sense that making a science experiment or … exploring science doesn’t take fancy equipment,” she said, adding for that reason, the workshops are typically sold out each summer. “Our first year we set our capacity to 25 and we booked full.

Have Your Say – Protecting Energy Consumers
Ontario Energy Commission de l’énergie Board de l’Ontario
How well are consumers protected in Ontario’s retail energy market? That’s the question the Ontario Energy Board (OEB) is looking at with its review of the Energy Consumer Protection Act. The Act deals with energy retailing to low-volume consumers in the province. Just over 300 thousand residential and small business consumers in Ontario currently have contracts with electricity retailers; 362,000 have contracts with natural gas marketers. Please visit www.ECPAreview.ca and fill out the on-line survey to share your views on consumer protection with the OEB.

Teachers also get the chance to visit the museum after hours, take in its behind-the-scenes collection and go on a field trip during the summertime adventure. “The unique opportunities provided at the Summer Institute for Elementary Teachers separate it from other professional development opportunities currently offered by the formal education community,” the association said on its website.

News – A summer camp at the Canada Science and Technology Museum that draws elementary school teachers from across Canada has won an award of excellence. Since 2011, the museum’s Summer Institute for Elementary Teachers has attracted 132 elementary teachers from across the country, from British Columbia and the Yukon to Newfoundland and Labrador, who hope to learn new strategies in teaching science, technology, engineering and mathematics The three-day hands-on workshops, held every July, earned the Ontario Museum Association’s award of excellence in programs, one of seven awards announced Oct. 16 at the association’s annual conference in Alliston, Ont. “Think of this as like a summer camp for teachers.

Ottawa South United boys bring home coveted Quebec-Ontario soccer cup Ottawa South News Staff
Sports – The Ottawa South United Force Academy 2000 recently enjoyed a rare Thanksgiving treat. The under-14 boys soccer team captured the Coupe-Quebec-Ontario Cup, becoming the first local squad to win both the Ontario Youth Soccer League championship and the Cup in the same season. “Before it was only ever Toronto teams that were successful,” said Ottawa South United soccer club head coach Paul Harris. “Now we’re breaking that monopoly. It’s fantastic.” The Force finished the twoday tournament against the Sherbrooke Sprint, Quebec’s provincial AAA soccer champions, with a 2-2 tie on Oct. 10 followed by a 4-2 win on Oct. 12. The Sprint hosted the interprovincial tournament at Terra Cotta Park at Pointe-Claire, Que. During the tournament, each team was awarded three points for a win or one point for a tie. If the teams are tied after play-

game into an overtime penalty kick shootout. Nick Marriot, a centre back, scored the winning penalty kick goal for the Force, and Ottawa goalkeeper Luc Rowlands stopped two penalty kicks. The Force was energized by the historic win, said team captain Nic DiBerardino. “Everyone just went crazy. We jumped on the goalie and had a big dog pile,” he said. “It’s such a big honour to be able to say we won. To have such a great group of guys to win it with is even better.” The win marked the second time ever an Ottawa team had won a provincial championship over the past three decades, said Harris. A week after they won the provincial championship, the Force travelled to Pointe-Claire to play the Sprint for the CoupeQuebec-Ontario Cup. The first game was a hard fought and often nervous affair with plenty of drama. A Sprint player broke his leg in the battle and a Force player even managed to score in his own net.

Liberace attended a showing of their original show, Aruba Liberace, and was so impressed he invited Famous People Players to perform with him in Las Vegas.

The Ottawa South United boys’ team celebrate after winning the Quebec-Ontario Cup. The Force managed to secure a 2-2 tie on the strength of goals by Ryan Massoud and Hassan Hamed. In the second game, the Force scored the first goal with a header by Chung off a free kick taken by Massoud. Massoud scored the second goal of the game off a breakaway fed by Stefano Nicastro. Massoud slid the ball past the keeper to the right corner to make the score 2-0.
The Sprint pulled within one goal just before halftime, scoring on a breakaway. In the second half, Hamed chested the ball past the Sprint goalkeeper to score his team’s third goal. The Sprint scored to once again make it a one-goal game, with a 3-2 score and only 10 minutes left in the match. But Massoud sealed the win with his second goal of the match.

The Force’s back line locked out the Sprint’s speedy attack for the most part of both games. The battle in the middle was intense and physical with Ian Kerr, Stef Nicastro, Keenan Foley leaving nothing on the field but sweat and plenty of blood. The Force’s forwards found the gaps and breached the opposing defence resulting in six goals in two games.

The Force’s lineup featured a compelling cast, including David Chung, the team’s star player, and Rowlands, a goalkeeper who was barely tested last year while his team dominated regional opponents by a combined score of 141-9 in 17 victories. But he stepped into the spotlight to block two penalty kick attempts in the championshipdeciding shootout.

Let’s not lose the experience
T
he people of Ottawa will choose a mayor, councillors and school trustees next week. Most voters will have plenty of names to choose from. And that’s a good thing. Municipal politics is a unique opportunity to directly affect government. There are no parties or masses of representatives to cajole. Everyone is on a first name basis. Many people have stepped up and sought your vote. Most will not come out on top. But by broaching ideas across the spectrum, they have prompted discussion. The status quo – served up in four-year terms – deserves to be shaken up, whether or not every platform plank is sound from your point of view. Those people who do not win their battles should remember they are valued, and they should stay connected to city hall. From the candidates who miss election by a vote or two to those who seem to only get votes from family and friends, all should consider the
next four years a chance to seek change. Attending meetings, writing letters, having conversations in the community and in the hallways at 110 Laurier Ave. West: all those activities keep the election winners on their toes, and force them to adapt to what their electorate really wants to see them accomplish. Campaign experience engaging with the community can be transferred to working with community associations, volunteer organizations, support groups, appearing as committee delegations, and working with community health centres. Our basic social systems can only benefit from a wide range of input, especially from the kind of knowledge the most engaged participants can offer. Those elected should do all they can to engage and encourage input from those who did not win. The city could also take the opportunity to expand on public education about how city government works – such as the explanation of development regulations – that could better educate future generations of city councillors.

Green bins may be the closest thing to a real issue, which shows, among other things, that Ottawa’s problems are far from serious.

technologically advanced than ever before? If so, how come we have less of what we used to have? That’s the emotional context of the green bin debate. We used to have garbage pickup every week. Now it is every two weeks. Abolish the green bin, say some, and return to weekly garbage pickup. You can understand the nostalgic appeal of this, despite the fact that the green bin seems to be working fine for many people, although some people complain about animals eating holes in it. Sure the garbage cans don’t go every week, but the green bins do and that’s where the smelly stuff is. Plus, it gets recycled.

On October 27th, get out and vote
Y
ou know the placards that are decorating every street corner right now? They’re not real estate signs. They’re election campaign signs. People are spending a lot of money and time to exercise their rights to stand up and represent you at city council. I’m sorry if you feel it’s pretentious of me to tell you this. But 56 per cent of eligible voters in Ottawa stayed home on election day in 2010. That means Ottawa’s mayor and city council were chosen by just over 40 per cent of the adult population. This is an appalling number, and one that’s trending downward all the time. Understandably, we live in a fantastic city, arguably the best in Canada. We have great community centres, fantastic parks, a solid public health department, decent transit and our infrastructure, while lacking (think sinkholes and water mains), is above average. Maybe that’s the problem. Everyone’s just so darned comfortable and happy with everything in their lives that they see no reason to change the status quo. But in the words of Dr. Horrible, “the status is not quo.” (If you don’t get my obscure Neil Patrick Harris reference, I apologize. Please Google “Dr. Horrible’s Sing-alongBlog”). This city is fantastic, but it’s also dynamic, which means change is happening all the time. And right now, with replacement bridges and a new transit plan, an aging population and infill development, there is a lot going on. And every four years, at minimum, you
BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse get to have a say about all of it. You have the right and the opportunity to find a representative, someone whose views on key issues most closely reflect your own. But in order to do this, you have to read and engage with your community. And you have to get to the polls on or before Oct. 27. Even temporary residents, like university students, are allowed to vote both in Ottawa and in their city of permanent residence. How cool is that? So if you live at Carleton University this year and you have something to say about transit in Ottawa, you can go and cast a ballot in Centretown. And you can do a proxy ballot – get your mom, dad or a friend to vote for you – for a candidate in your hometown, too. Last month, voters in Scotland astonished political watchers worldwide. A referendum ballot on whether or not Scotland should become independent or remain part of the United Kingdom drew more than 80 per cent of eligible voters to the polls, mostly in a single day. The interesting thing about that particular vote? It marked the first time 16-year-olds were allowed to participate. Polls also opened
early in the morning and remained open until late in the evening. This bodes well. It means that when people are engaged, when they care enough about the issues, they will take the time to exercise their right to franchise. It remains to be seen, but the Scottish experience suggests perhaps it’s time we have
a serious talk about reducing the voting age in general, provincial and municipal elections. If we can get people interested and involved in civic society in high school, excited to cast a ballot and drive a car for the first time as a mark of their independence, perhaps voting, like driving, will be a habit they will continue throughout their adult lives. For now, there are more than 600,000 eligible voters in this city. Polls will be open on Monday, Oct. 27, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Please, get out and vote. And don’t forget to bring a friend.

Incumbents advise councillors-elect to build strong alliances Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com
News – Three city councillors who have long represented their wards at the council table not only have some advice to pass on to their successors, but point to a number of issues they say should remain high on the list of priorities during the next term, which begins Dec. 1. GLOUCESTER-SOUTH NEPEAN WARD
The next city councillor elected to represent one of the fastest growing wards in Ottawa will need to work over the first year building relationships, friends and allies to move issues forward at the council table, said Coun. Steve Desroches, who has represented Gloucester-South Nepean for the past eight years “I think a big part of the job is relationship-building at city hall, both with the staff and with your fellow city councillors and with the mayor and his staff,” he said. “I think that is a key part of this job, that you’re looking to build consensus among colleagues to tackle a solution.” Desroches points to the completed Strandherd-Armstrong bridge that connects Riverside South and Barrhaven on which he worked closely with Coun. Jan Harder, among other initiatives. Desroches, who says he is proud of his record to deliver several key infrastructure projects in his community, adds that residents will expect the next councillor to continue making those strides. Traffic pressures in south Ottawa must also stay on the next councillor’s radar, he said, and because there is no dedicated transit system serving Leitrim, Findlay Creek and Riverside South, the O-Train extension to that area will need to move forward. His advice for his successor also includes keeping the city’s broader interests in mind since many ward residents work and shop beyond its boundaries. “There will be occasions when I think you have to take a citywide view,” Desroches said. “No one wants to have another landfill in our community. No single councillor will put up their hand and say they 10
ERIN MCCRACKEN/METROLAND
Outgoing councillors Peter Hume, Steve Desroches and Maria McRae are advising incoming councillors to take a proactive approach to addressing community needs. want a landfill. “So that means you have to take a citywide view in terms of how we’re going to deal with waste diversion and a longer term strategy.” His advice also includes seeking out opportunities to encourage Orgaworld Canada to make the green bin program better. “I don’t think we can tear this contract up without some major, major financial implications for the city of Ottawa, so I think we need to find an opportunity fix it, make it more user friendly, more financially sustainable.” RIVER WARD
Knowing the challenges that come with taking on a new job, Coun. Maria McRae said she is willing to help the new councillor-elect with any outstanding files during the transition process. “So I’m going to be available to at least provide neighbourhood-by-neighbourhood briefings as to what some of the current files are, are there issues on the horizon, are their rumblings I’m hearing in the community,” she said. Traffic safety – speeding and motorists running traffic lights and stop signs – is one
Ottawa South News - Thursday, October 23, 2014
of the more pressing issues her replacement will have to prioritize. As a resident of her ward, McRae said she often spots issues herself and reports them to municipal staff. She also went on walkabouts with residents to better understand issues. “(Whoever is elected will) certainly want to be a very proactive councillor where they’re constantly working with the police and bylaw to address traffic safety, and of course the traffic department,” she said, adding that councillors who are “collaborative leaders” can get things done because they can work well with various stakeholders to make change happen. “I would say it’s a constant battle, which means that the councillor has to be a good communicator, encouraging people to call the police to report.” Other priorities should include keeping taxes low, preserving municipal services, helping seniors, finding ways at council to help residents deal with the emerald ash borer on their private property, and looking for opportunities to create or reconstruct pedestrian-cycling links, said McRae. “This job is all about building very good relationships,”
she said of the need to be collaborative with city staff, councillors, other levels of government and media. “It’s also being an advocate,” she said. ALTA VISTA WARD
Coun. Peter Hume, who has represented the Alta Vista area for the past 23 years, said he is confident the next council will function well and the newcomers will learn as they go. “There’s a lot of corporate memory and experience that is going to help on different things, but there are really some great people who will remain on council and I assume will be in leadership roles,” he said. “The challenge for the new councillors is everything is very easy on the campaign trail,” he said. “It’s easy to say, ‘I’m going to do X. I’m going to do Y.’ And the reality of implementing those things is often a very sobering experience. It’s easy to say and harder to do.” One of the biggest issues the next council will have to contend with is moving forward phase two of LRT, he said. “One of the key things for south Ottawa is driving the O-Train extension down to Bowesville Road. It’s the cheapest part of the phase two,” Hume said, adding that while
it’s going to happen, there is no timeline fixed in place. “You can have that ready to go and funded, and under construction and right on the heels of the opening of the Confederation Line in 2018. But in order to do that you’ve got to start doing things in 2015 and 2016,” he said. From tackling traffic pressures to green bin issues, the next councillor must do their homework, read reports and have a mastery of issues before they attend meetings, so as not to create delays, said Hume. Alta Vista, which has been hit hard by an emerald ash borer infestation, will need someone at its helm to push for the development of a more dedicated plan to ensure dead trees are taken down sooner than a year, which is happening in some cases, Hume said. In addition, he said there is opportunity for the councillorelect to encourage ongoing investment in communities such as Herongate, which has seen recent improvements. “Things are going to get better,” Hume said. Safety concerns were raised in the neighbourhood following a shooting there earlier this year, and Hume said the key is a visible community police presence. “It’s community intelligence,” he said of the community police officers who work in the ward. “We’ve just got to give them a couple of more tools to make them more visible and augment their outreach in the community.” GLOUCESTER-SOUTHGATE WARD
The incoming GloucesterSouthgate Ward councillor will need to keep a number of priorities at the top of the to-do list, and move issues forward by working with community groups and property owners, say community association representatives. “It’s important as a councillor to be aware of the needs of the community,” said Barbara D’Amico, president of the South Keys Greenboro Community Association. Home to seniors, students, longtime residents, new families, immigrant families and social-housing neighbourhoods, the ward has diverse needs,
she said. “We run the gamut of various community members. That’s important for a councillor to understand – the needs of that group.” Likewise, Sheila Gervais, vice-president of the Hunt Club Park Community Association, says consistency is key to maintaining a healthy rapport between residents and the councillor. “Listen to and liaise with the residents of the ward on a consistent basis,” said Gervais. While positive inroads have been made in the ward there has been fall-out from the change from weekly to bi-weekly garbage pickup in the form of the dumping of garbage in centralized public spaces. “By all means, I have no problem with bi-weekly garbage pickup,” D’Amico said. “But when it was first announced one of the first things I thought of was the dumping and unfortunately it’s come to fruition.” Some residents are unhappy with property owners transforming homes into multipledwelling units. “There’s a bylaw infraction happening because they’re not licensed,” D’Amico said, adding some residents have complained about lack of upkeep, parking issues and the impact on property values. Positive inroads in the ward have been made to alleviate traffic congestion and improve safety. The addition of bus and bicycle lanes on Hunt Club have helped. “It’s much smoother. It’s quite a significant change for the better,” D’Amico said. Though the Hunt Club-Hwy. 417 interchange has been a well-received, some residents living closest to Hunt Club Road have expressed concern about noise due to an increase in truck traffic following the opening of the interchange, said Gervais. The next councillor will also need to keep on top of “concerns about people driving too fast, people driving through stop signs – all through Hunt Club Park,” Gervais said.

Candidates quizzed on infrastructure for growing ward Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
News - The Findlay Creek Community Association grilled candidates vying to replace two-term Coun. Steve Desroches on everything from transportation to new school builds during an all-candidates debate held at the Fred Barrett Arena on Oct. 15. Every Gloucester-South Nepean candidate except Kevin Fulsom and Roger Scharfe turned out to get in a last-minute pitch to residents. The first question dealt with the candidates support for a new school in Findlay Creek. Elizabeth Parks Public School and the Uplands Catholic School both sit on Department of National Defence land and will see their leases end in 2017, so students from Findlay Creek won’t have access to a community school. A last-minute change to the public board’s capital priorities list last year pushed a new school for Findlay Creek school down near the bottom
in favour of a new school to be built in the Barrhaven community of Half Moon Bay. Parents are frustrated with the lack of movement on finding funding to build a school in the underserved area of Findlay Creek. “It’s been a political football,” said council candidate Susan Sherring. “I have seen parents work really hard to lobby for a new school with no results. I would work with the province and the board to see what we can do to bring the school to Findlay Creek.” Jason Kelly said he has a seven-point plan in place to bring a school to the area. “We are failing in our approach to build well-rounded communities,” he said. Michael Qaqish, who cited numerous projects he collaborated on with incumbent Steve Desroches while working in Desroches’ office, said he didn’t have a plan. “But I do have the experience of working with the Catholic board to bring St. Francis Xavier to Riverside South,” he
said. Bader Rashed, who said he is the only candidate that resides in Findlay Creek, said if elected he would push the permits for the school build through once the funding is made available by the province. Scott Hodge said while the funding for a new school would be the responsibility of the ministry and the board, he would be willing to help lobby. Candidates also took questions on transportation spending. The O-Train extension is earmarked to make it to Findlay Creek and Riverside South in 2023, according to the transportation master plan. “The O-Train is the only north-south relief,” Qaqish said. “I feel like Findlay Creek is a forgotten part of the riding. But it’s now 2,000 homes and we have to manage that growth.” Residents complained of connection problems between the local bus route 144 and the 99; which takes people downtown.

News - Twenty years of experience championing
the needs of residents in the Gloucester-Southgate area has prompted incumbent Coun. Diane Deans to seek reelection during this municipal
election. “It was not a difficult decision,� said the 56-year-old who was first elected to the former Ottawa city council in November 1994. “I love what I do. I love helping people. I love the community that I represent. “I look around that ward and I see the difference that I have made working with community associations and many, many people in our neighbourhoods, and it’s a joy for me to be the member of council for Gloucester-Southgate Ward,� said Deans, who has lived in Ottawa since 1982. Her experience at the council table includes heading up some significant portfolios. Deans currently serves as chair of the transit commission, and is past-chair of the city’s community and protective services committee, as well as a number of other boards and committees. She is also a member of the finance and economic development committee and is vice-chair of the province’s Social Housing Services Cor-

In speaking with ward residents during the current election campaign, the incumbent said she has heard some discussion about garbage pickup. She was one of five councillors who voted for a compromise resolution in 2012 that would see weekly garbage collection during the summer months. That option lost in a 17-5 vote. “It does seem to make sense the rest of the year to have biweekly because we need to meet our provincial diversion target of 60 per cent diversion away from landfills, and nobody wants a landfill in their neighbourhood,� Deans said, adding that cancelling the five-year garbage contract could cost taxpayers upwards of $50 million. “Look what happened when (council) cancelled the northsouth LRT. It cost (the city) $100 million,� she said. See ROAD, page 20

When asked what the candidates planned to do to improve access, they unanimously said they would support a re-jigging of the transportation master plan to get transit to the underserviced area of the ward. Rashed, who works for the city, said he used to have to get up at 6 a.m. to make it to Algonquin College for 10 a.m. class when he was taking the bus

from Findlay Creek. Sherring said getting service on suburban bus routes can be a chickenand-egg-type scenario. “It’s tough to justify the service if the ridership numbers aren’t there,� she said. “People will keep taking their cars until the service is reliable.� Without a reliable bus service to connect them to South Keys transit station, many residents expressed concern about the gridlock on Albion Road and
Bank Street. “We can’t wait until Canada’s 200th birthday to get transit to Findlay Creek,� Kelly said, adding Bank Street south of Leitrim Road needs to be widened along with Prince of Wales Drive. Hodge said he’d like to see a better plan of the twinning of the Airport Parkway – a plan to widen the roadway from Bronson Avenue to Hunt Club Road. He also said he’d like to

Candidates also took questions on their support for a renovated main library and a public-private partnership for a recreation facility in Riverside South. Both Rashed and Sherring said they are frustrated with the lack of response
from the Ottawa Public Library about a bookmobile in Findlay Creek. “If we can’t get a bookmobile out to Findlay Creek, I don’t see how we can justify spending on a new main library branch that will serve a limited population,� Kelly said. Gloucester-South Nepean was created from the former wards Bell South Nepean and Gloucester Southgate in 2006. Steve Desroches has represented the area since 2006.

Walking school bus program rolls out to promote active lifestyles Erin McCracken and Adam Kveton erin.mccracken@metroland.com
News - Students in south Ottawa are taking a different kind of bus to school. Instead of catching a ride to school courtesy of mom or dad or the big yellow bus, a number of students at Robert Bateman Public School in Hunt Club Park and Steve MacLean Public School in Riverside South are being walked to classes by a trained Walking School Bus leader. “I think the key is it’s healthy,” Rosalie Cross, a Steve MacLean viceprincipal, said in touting the benefits of walking to school. “It’s active. It gets them walking in their community. And they’re with an adult.” The Walking School Bus initiative rolled out for the first time on Sept. 29 and will continue for 12 weeks until Dec. 19 at eight Ottawa English public and Catholic schools, including Orléans’ Convent Glen Catholic Elementary School and Henry Larsen Public School, Corpus Christi Elementary School in the Glebe, Hilson Avenue Public School in Westboro, St. Gabriel Elementary School in north Kanata and Woodroffe Avenue Public School in west Ottawa. With a little more than 1,000 stu-
dents, Steve MacLean is now the largest elementary school in Ottawa’s English public school board. “We have potential to be a big walking school,” Cross said. “We do have a lot of students that do walk, but we also have a busy kiss-and-ride program where parents drop them off on the way to work.” While only one student has registered to participate in the pilot project at the school, the hope is that more will join in the weeks to come. At an Oct. 17 assembly, the program was explained to students in hopes of generating interest. “We’ve had a lot of interest in our Walking School Bus project, here in Ottawa but also across the province, so the ministry of education is looking at Ottawa’s model, as well, as the leading practice for other consortiums to follow,” said Vicky Kyriaco, general manager and chief administrative officer of the Ottawa Student Transportation Authority, one of the partners spearheading the project. Up to 10 children can be registered to take part. Depending on demand, a second leader can be added to the route to walk more children to school. See PILOT, page 15

Students from Robert Bateman Public School participate in the school’s inaugural Walking School Bus program on Oct. 6. Robert Bateman is one of eight Ottawa schools taking part in the pilot program that has been designed to encourage children to lead healthy and active lifestyles.

Teen driving: Take the responsible road While an RBC Insurance survey1 shows that 9 in 10 parents rate their teens as fairly good drivers, many teenagers still fall prey to common driving misconceptions. “Being a teenage driver isn’t easy. You’re developing a new skill and learning the rules of the road, and because of this, are more likely to fall victim to myths,” explains Natalie Dupuis, Senior Product Manager, Auto, RBC Insurance. “The consequences of making a mistake on the road can have serious ramifications, including the impact to your pocketbook, with teens in an accident seeing substantial increases in premiums upwards of 50%. However, knowing what types of mistakes you’re most likely to commit can help teens make the right driving decisions.” While a number of these activities are already illegal, still many dangerous driving misconceptions persist. To help set the record straight, RBC Insurance debunks the three most common driving misconceptions among teens: Myth: “I can safely text or talk on my phone while driving.” Fact: Cell phones are a significant visual and cognitive distraction for drivers, with average “eyes off the road” times that increase the risk of collision considerably. Drivers engaged in text messaging on a cell phone are 23 times more likely to be involved in a crash or near crash event than non-distracted drivers.2 Myth: “I’ve only had one drink so I’m fine to drive.” Fact: Any amount of alcohol impairs driving and increases the risk of collision. Even one drink can cloud your thinking, dim your vision and slow your reflexes.

Alcohol also affects your attention span, alertness and coordination. A driver with a blood alcohol content of 0.10% is 50 times more likely to be involved in a fatal crash than a driver with no blood alcohol content.3 Myth: “Driving under the influence of cannabis is not as bad as driving under the influence of alcohol.” Fact: Your driving ability can be impaired by pot just as much as it can be impaired by alcohol, as both can impact your ability to concentrate and lower your reaction time. In fact, drivers between 16 and 24 years old are equally split between drinking-driver fatalities (27.6%) and drug-positive driver fatalities (26.9%).4 To learn more, visit www.rbcinsurance.com/ insuranceneeds/safety-tips-for-teenage-drivers.html 2012 RBC Parent and Teen Driving Study.

There is enough money to keep the eight routes going beyond Dec. 19 and the English Catholic and public school boards are “already envisioning that this is going to be a program that will develop over time,” Kyriaco said, adding that funding from these two boards has already been secured to start new routes in the spring.

Children are led by Walking School Bus leaders who are screened, first-aid certified, trained and paid by the Ottawa Safety Council. By encouraging kids to walk to school, the pilot’s partner agencies – Ottawa Public Health, the Ottawa School Transportation Authority, the Ottawa Safety Council and Green Communities Canada – hope they will pick up healthy and active habits that will stick with them later in life. Only 28 per cent of Canadian children walk to school, down from 58 per cent a generation ago, the city of Ottawa said a statement citing the Canadian Fitness and Lifestyle Research Institute. The city also said that just 24 per cent of Ottawa students in grades seven to 12 said they are physically active for an hour each day – the amount recommended by the Canadian Physical Activity Guidelines for Youth. One of the goals of the pilot is “to see if the
lic schools across Ottawa. “Individual school communities have to demonstrate that they’re actively promoting active school transportation,” said Kyriaco. “So we’re not putting Walking School Buses in any school communities where there’s been absolutely no effort whatsoever because we know the programs are only successful when the entire school community – and that includes parents and staff and kids – are all engaged in doing that.” The pilot project is being funded at a cost $44,000 by Ottawa Public Health in partner-
behaviour of the parents and the students can be changed so that fewer students are being driven to school and they are actually walking to school,” Kyriaco said. “So we want to see that there is a shift there.” In addition to the physical benefits, the program ensures children make it to school before classes begin. There are also environmental and safety benefits. “The benefit to the environment even for the air quality around the school with the kiss-andride in the morning – that’s a lot of cars coming through the front of our school,” said Cross. “I think another big concern our parents have is the fact that we’re located on Spratt Road, which is essentially four lanes and it’s busy.” The speed limit there is 60 kilometres an hour, but a school committee is working to make that an official school zone, she said. Depending on the popularity of the pilot, the Walking School Bus program could be implemented gradually in English Catholic and pub-

Ottawa South News - Thursday, October 23, 2014
Meet the candidate: Barbara Carroll
Candidate promises to tackle traffic, transit and garbage delivery problems in River Ward Ottawa South News Staff
R0012933993
News - An advocate for some of the city’s most vulnerable citizens in south Ottawa is running for councillor of River Ward. Barbara Carroll, executive director of the Debra Dynes Family House Inc., a community service centre in a lowincome social housing area of River Ward, has been working on issues concerning community development for the past two decades. “If I’m at city hall, I can continue to do that,” said Carroll. “I have the skills and the interests to take on River Ward in all its parts.” Carroll has received numerous awards for her work in the community including the 2012 Carlington Community Builder Award, the Joan Gullen Award in 2004 and the Investing in People Award from the Community Foundation of Ottawa in 1998. She is also a past nominee
for an Ontario Premier’s Award (2006) and a Women of Distinction Award from United Way of Ottawa (1998). Carroll has taught as a part time professor at Algonquin College and Carleton University for more than 10 years. Q: Why are you running? A: I am running because I want to tackle important issues that are getting passed over. I want to address the traffic backups in the ward. I want to address bus fares that are out of reach of those who need it. I would also like to help prioritize the things that are important to people in the ward. Q: Detail your past political experience or activism (volunteering, campaigning, donations, employment) at any level of government or political party. Also, do you have any experience as a lobbyist or for a lobbying non-profit organization? See TRANSIT, page 20

Elect/Élisez
Riley Brockington City Councillor, River Ward Conseiller, quartier rivière “Riley Brockington lives in River Ward, where he is raising his young daughters. Riley is the only candidate with extensive community experience as a volunteer and as an elected school board trustee. I have represented River Ward on Ottawa City Council as your City Councillor for the last 11 years and I support Riley as your next Councillor.” Maria McRae River Ward City Councillor, lawyer & River Ward resident
Join others in supporting Riley: “The Ridgemont Community Association strongly endorses Riley as the next City Councillor for River Ward. Riley will build on the work of our current Councillor, Maria McRae, and will be a strong advocate for all residents.” Frank J. Licari, River Ward Resident & Ridgemont Community Association Chair “I have known Riley for over 25 years. He is fiscally prudent and socially progressive. What most impresses me about Riley and why I am strongly endorsing him for City Councillor, is his ability to listen, reflect and then act. Our community will be well served with Riley representing us on Council!” George Brown, lawyer, former City Councillor, Riverside Ward, 1985-1994 “I have known Riley for 29 years. He is honest, very reliable and dependable – an individual who works long hours to get the job done. I strongly recommend that Riley Brockington, a devoted community figure, represent us in River Ward.” Javaid A. Malik, Hunt Club Resident and small business owner
“Riley and I served together on the public school board as elected Trustees. Riley had a great ability to bring Trustees together, particularly when he chaired budget meetings. His calm demeanour and ability to listen and work with Trustees to get compromise was invaluable, all the while using his trademark sense of humour to cut through the tension. Riley was an asset to the School Board and to taxpayers.” Cathy Curry, past-Chair, Ottawa Carleton District School Board «J’apporte tout mon soutien à la candidature de Riley Brockington. Il a toutes les qualités nécessaires pour bien remplir son rôle en tant que conseiller municipal. Lors de mon expérience professionnelle avec Riley, j’ai eu l’occasion d’apprécier son sens de l’engagement, sa persévérance ainsi que son éthique aiguisée. L’avenir de la ville profiterait sans aucun doute de son élection.» Patric Fournier-Savard, collègue de Riley

A: Besides my job, which is working for the family house in River Ward, I’m involved in community life extending to other parts of the City of Ottawa. I am a longstanding member of the Ottawa Food Bank board and was its treasurer for six years. I was part of a core group of women who petitioned in the Ontario courts to successfully keep Nelson House (a shelter for women and their families fleeing abuse and violence) from being closed. I continued to work to reopen Nelson House and am currently the co-chair of the Nelson House board. I have sat on granting committees for the city, United Way and the Community Foundation and was the vice president of the Algonquin Alumni Association. Q: How will you fund-
Q: Do you have any potential pecuniary interests (declared conflict of interest) i.e. ties (financial, family, otherwise) with builders, developers, construction companies, etc. Are there any boards or associations you will have to step down from? A: No. Q: What do you think was the biggest issue in the ward last term and how was it handled? What will be the biggest issue/s next term? A: The two issues that faced the ward this past term were the traffic and transit issues and the green bin program. Traffic is getting worse in the ward and it is a problem that has gone un-
changed. I want to solve the backups along Hunt Club and Riverside, reduce passthrough traffic in neighbourhoods and address cycling issues like those at Fisher and Carling. Transit fares that are skyrocketing and routes being eliminated, there’s a lot to do. The green bin program, besides being a drain on taxpayer money, was poorly implemented, badly thought out and confusing for many residents. We need to make major modifications for it to work. Both these issues I will make priorities to tackle as councillor if elected. Additional River Ward candidates include Riley Brockington, Mike Patton, Don Francis, Antonio Giannetti, Jeff Koscik, Michael Kostiuk, Colin Pennie, Vanessa Sutton and Bruce Winchester.

Deans’ top priorities over the years have been community and traffic safety, and she says she is committed to continuing to work with residents, community associations, partner organizations and the Ottawa police to ensure neighbourhoods in her ward continue to be safe and healthy places to live. “This will include a review of Ottawa police staffing levels and looking at new ways to slow down traffic in our communities,” she said. But she acknowledges there is no easy solution to improving traffic safety. Before speed humps and other safety measures can be implemented, the city requires area traffic management studies be done first, which Deans said are costly. There is also a 10-year backlog of requests for these studies, which are prioritized according to need rather than the date the request is made. “So there are streets on that list that likely won’t get a management study,” she said, adding it is difficult to explain the process to the community. “And I actually think it’s too onerous, and I think a lot of these solutions that (the city is) using – (such as) building speed bumps and roadway narrowings – are too costly to be able to deliver across the city,” she said. “So I really think in the term ahead we have to look for more cost-effective solutions that we can implement much faster.” Other Gloucester-Southgate Ward candidates include Meladul Haq Ahmadzai, Rodaina Chahrour, George Marko, Lilly Obina, Brad Pye and Mohamed Roble.

WORKING HARD FOR YOU
People sometimes ask me – What does a good Trustee do? The simple answer is - a good Trustee works hard to represent the interests of their constituents, especially parents, students, schools and the community. At the same time a good Trustee provides overall policy direction at the Board, develops and monitors the $800 million annual budget, debates specific new policies and initiatives, and hires and evaluates the Director of Education and the most senior staff. In addition to these duties, there is a broader leadership and planning role for the Chair and ViceChair of the Board. As the Vice-Chair, I am involved in long term agenda planning, I participate in a number of ad hoc committees for hiring, Director evaluation, Board evaluation and other activities, and I chair all Committee of the Whole and in-camera meetings. In the absence of the Chair, as happened this past year, I serve as Acting Chair of the Board.

The constituency role is in many ways the most rewarding role that Trustees play. In River Zone, I have been involved in a wide range of issues and concerns raised by parents, schools and community members. Some examples demonstrate this role: • The fight for student safety related to a proposed development right next to one of my schools – Fielding Drive - continues. A decision was made by the Committee of Adjustment on October 15 to adjourn the hearing, based on resident concerns on lack of consultation, and the issues I raised about student safety;
Sherril was admitted to the May Court Hospice, desperately sick and unable to communicate, yet wanting her two adult children to re-connect and find a bond with her new husband, Mark Sunderland. Staff made it possible for brother and sister to sleep in her room and for extended family, including a new baby, to picnic in the garden outside of her window. Sherril was there for six days and staff ensured support and calm surrounded the Nixon family.

• Many parents reach out to me when their children with special needs are struggling, or when students are being bullied. Working with parents, school administration and senior staff at the Board, it is often possible for me, as the local Trustee, to help find solutions to these problems in practical ways that give parents comfort and confidence in the public education system;
“Hospice was like an oasis of calm. This was our first experience with death in a hospice as staff and volunteers were a huge help. They were very much calm guides, making you feel things were under control when they hadn’t been before.”
• In my annual budget consultations with River Zone schools, school councils and parents, people stressed the importance of respect for school administrations, teachers and other school staff with heavy workloads and sometimes inadequate support. This was particularly important for teachers dealing with special needs and behavioural issues in their classrooms. As a Trustee, one way in which I have been able to help was by increasing the Board budget to hire additional emergency/itinerant and in-school educational assistants.

Meet the candidate: Antonio Giannetti Ottawa South News Staff
News - An Ottawa lawyer and businessman is looking to bring his legal expertise and mediation skills to city council as councillor of River Ward. Antonio Giannetti, 49, has worked as a businessman and lawyer for more than 20 years. Giannetti says he has a strong connection with his ward, the place where his two children attend school, where most of his friends and customers live and where his wife is employed. Q: Why are you running? A: I decided to run because I believe that the time has come to make my professional and personal experience available to the community. I am a lawyer, I know very well the meaning of the word “law” and I always fight hard to defend the people’s rights. At the same time, as a businessman, I learned really soon the meaning of the word “mediation” and I am a skilled negotiator. Q: Do you live in the ward
you are running in? A: My family’s personal and working life takes place in River Ward. Most of my customers and friends live in River Ward. My wife works at the Bank of Montreal in River Ward, and my two sons attend St. Pius X High School and Carleton University, which are both in River Ward. That is why we love River Ward. Q: Detail your past political experience or activism (volunteering, campaigning, donations, employment) at any level of government or political party. Also, do you have any experience as a lobbyist or for a lobbying non-profit organization? A: I have always been involved in politics since I was just a young boy. I believe that politics is a noble art, if practised with competence, fairness, consistency, capacity and transparency, and I am sure that I possess all these features. I have had much political experience even when I lived in Italy, and I have been involved in the election campaign of the prime
Helping Seniors in Ottawa Live Healthy, Independent Lives The South East Ottawa Community Health Centre has received $1,238,788 in additional funding annually in order to support the regional expansion of “Primary Care Outreach for Seniors Program” which is funded by the Champlain Local Health Integration Network.
Submitted
Antonio Giannetti is running for councillor of River Ward. minister. Lately, in Ottawa, I have supported a Liberal candidate, by providing him with all my skill and professionalism. This candidate, now, has been elected. Q: How will you fundraise? A: I have already collected
almost all the necessary funds for my election campaign. I think I have exceeded the amount of $10,000, which has been entirely collected by people who respect me, and who believe in me and my abilities. See LIGHT RAIL, page 24
The Primary Care Outreach for Seniors Program provides support to vulnerable seniors with complex care needs living in their homes. Primary Care outreach teams work in partnership with other health professionals to support high risk seniors in leading healthy and independent lives. A registered nurse is available to visit vulnerable seniors in their home and a community health worker helps link them to appropriate community resources and assist with various needs. By helping seniors maintain their health and independence the program also helps reduce the number of emergency visits, hospital and long term care admissions. Together with our community partners, seniors and their families, we are creating and sustaining supportive environments that help Ontario seniors live independently at home, where they want to be.

Ottawa South News - Thursday, October 23, 2014
Meet the candidate: Bader Rashed Ottawa South News Staff
News - Bader Rashed has lived in Gloucester-South Nepean for the last 14 years. He describes himself as a father, a husband, an entrepreneur, a community leader and most recently – a candidate for city council. Rashed said he was recently nominated for the Greater Nepean Chamber of Commerce’s Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award and is known for his involvement with the Rideauview Community Centre in the Leitrim Area. He has worked for the City of Ottawa for the last 11 years and has taken a leave of absence while on the campaign trail. Q: Why are you running? A: Ward 22 is a family-based community. I care about our families and our community. I am energetic and committed to making Ward 22 the best place to reside. I believe in creating positive change so that we can have a great and safe place for our family, youth and seniors.
I would like to see businesses prosper and create a strong foundation for the generations to follow. Q: Detail your past political experience and civic experience or activism whether it’s volunteering, campaigning, donations or employment at any level of government or political party. A: I have supported different politicians financially, and/ or by volunteering for them. I was the student council president for Blossom Park Public School and the student association president in high school when I attended St. Pius X High School. Q: How will you fundraise? How do you feel about accepting donations from corporations and unions? A: I will fundraise by having community events and knocking on doors. I will be accepting donations from family and friends, private individuals, and all who believe in my vision. I believe it is imperative to
create a working relationship with corporations so that we keep the same focus in mind. As we are desperate need of a recreational facility there will have to be many sacrifices we make in order for this to happen. Q: Do you have any potential pecuniary interests or declared conflict of interest with builders, developers, construction companies? A: I have cleared all my previous connections and obligations so that I am able to run for office. Q: What do you think was the biggest issue in the ward last term and how was it handled? What will be the biggest issue/s next term? A: The Strandherd-Armstrong Bridge was a disappointment with the contractor going bankrupt. Residents on both sides of the river have been quite frustrated with the delays and have been very patient. Steve Desroches has done a wonderful job, with keeping residents informed and up to date with
the progress of the bridge. Now the bridge is completed, moving forward, it is my mission that we focus on our community as a whole. We need to build a recreation facility with a three-rink pad, a swimming pool, meeting rooms, businesses and a soccer dome. The past seven months I have been working relentlessly to begin the process to deliver a recreational facility to Riverside South and I have four large corporations that are day one ready to make this happen. Residents on River Road are not happy with the increased traffic due to the opening of the bridge and our transit service needs an improvement. These are problems I have solutions for. We need to be more involved and engaged with our youth, as they will pave the way to the future. Having lived in Riverside South and now living in Findlay Creek for the past seven years, I feel this area has not been serviced accordingly. I would like to fast track the expansion of Bank Street.

Meet the candidate: Vanessa Sutton Ottawa South News Staff
News – A woman with 24 years of management experience with municipal governments in Ontario and British Columbia is looking to put her skills to work as the next councillor of River Ward. Vanessa Sutton, a certified professional and management accountant, retired in 2013 as chief administrative officer at the University of Ottawa’s faculty of medicine. She has also worked as the chief administrative officer for the Township of North Glengarry, Ont. as well as CAO and treasurer of the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen, B.C. Sutton says her experience providing financial and administrative advice to municipal governments about budget development, debt issuance, financial forecasting and contract administration will help her keep an eye on city spending and budgeting. She also managed the financial aspects of hospital con-
struction projects, the purchase of equipment together with hospital board administrators and provincial government representatives. “Following retirement, I want to devote myself to serving the community which I have called home for the past decade,” said Sutton. Q: Why are you running? A: I have the time and a sincere desire to serve River Ward constituents as a thoughtful trustee of the public purse. I am a fiscal conservative with progressive liberal values on social issues, and as such, I believe that I represent a balanced and centrist perspective within the political spectrum. I believe that we all have a duty to volunteer our time to help strengthen the social fabric of our communities. I currently volunteer my time at the May Court Hospice and St. Pat’s nursing home on a weekly basis. My volunteerism has given me a unique perspective on some of the issues affecting
our most vulnerable residents. Q: Detail your past political experience or activism (volunteering, campaigning, donations, employment) at any level of government or political party. A: I consider myself to be a “blue Liberal.” I ran for the Liberal Party of Canada in British Columbia in 2004. I donate money, and volunteer my time as a policy analyst for the Liberal Party of Canada. Q: Also, do you have any experience as a lobbyist or for a lobbying non-profit organization? A: No. Q: How will you fundraise? A: My campaign is family run and self-funded. I will respectfully decline corporate, developer or union offers of campaign contributions as I intend to solely represent the interests of River Ward constituents. Q: Do you have any poten-

tial pecuniary interests (declared conflict of interest) i.e. ties (financial, family, otherwise) with builders, developers, construction companies, etc. Are there any boards or associations you will have to step down from? A: No. Q: What do you think was the biggest issue in the ward last term and how was it handled? A: The Aviation Parkway pedestrian bridge construction project. The bridge design and contract administration aspects of this project were poorly managed. New city councillors should possess proven contract administration skills. I possess 30 years of contract administration skills and experience. Q: What will be the biggest issue/s next term? A: More than 10,000 Ottawa households waited for affordable housing last year, facing an average of almost five years on a waiting list. The waiting list, which grew 3.8 per cent since 2012, was out-

Community gives thanks by treating veterans to dinner Event marks seven years of appreciation Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com
News - Tobin Kelly has a few family connections to the Canadian military – his brother-in-law serves in the Royal Canadian Navy, and his great uncles served during the Second World War. Though he himself has never donned a military uniform, the urge to show veterans his appreciation runs strong. “That was not a choice I made for my life,” the Hintonburg resident said of joining the Forces. “Just thinking about the sacrifice that means to the individual, and in a lot of cases, their family – I feel like it is an amazing commitment to take on.” For that reason he has been a driving force in the organization of Take a Veteran to Dinner Night, a non-profit initiative that began seven years ago as a way to show appreciation to retired and current Canadian Armed Forces personnel and their
spouses. “It’s to show our respects in this way and … with this particular event I think it’s the least we can do,” he said. People are invited to become hosts for the evening and treat veterans and their spouses to enjoy a meal at Tudor Hall in south Ottawa on Oct. 26, beginning at 5 p.m. The dinner is based on a similar event that has been held for the past 10 years in Orillia, Ont., said Kelly, chair of the organizing committee that puts on the special evening in Ottawa. He kept hearing about the dinner, which draws upwards of 400 people, and felt a strong pull to do something similar here. “I just thought, ‘Why doesn’t this happen everywhere in every city across Canada?’” said Kelly, who was living and working in Montebello, Que., when he organized the first Take a Veteran to Dinner Night here. His partner was living in Ottawa at the time and Kelly knew the National Capital Region is home to thousands of retired and current military personnel. See MIX, page 35
TOBIN KELLY
Retired and active Canadian military personnel and their spouses will once again be treated to dinner by those who want to show their appreciation for the sacrifices they made to their country. For the seventh year, Take a Veteran to Dinner Night will take place at Tudor Hall in south Ottawa.

Adventure kits to spur love for science, math among Scouts Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com
News - An out-of-thisworld adventure – and perhaps even a new career path – is waiting for Scouts across Canada who open and peek inside new kits specially designed for them by the Canada Science and Technology Museum. The educational kits, developed in collaboration with Scouts Canada, are meant to spark curiosity in the minds of Scouts, ages eight to 10, in science, technology, engineering and math – topics that are not drawing as much interest among as many Canadian school kids as experts would like. “Science, technology, engineering and math are fundamental to an informed population and for literacy and we’d like to see STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) programming
at a young enough age to get kids excited so that they’re open to STEM, whether it’s because they want to have a career in STEM or because they want to be really good informed citizens,” said Sandra Corbeil, director of

“So much of what’s happening around us, we need to have some basic literacy in these areas,” she said. “A 2012 report from the Canadian Council of Chief Executives found Canada is falling behind in STEM disciplines, with only 37 per cent of pending high school graduates expressing an interest in taking even one post-secondary science course,” Olivier Bouffard, museum spokesman, said in a statement announcing the new interactive kits on Oct. 15. Another statistic shows that almost one-third or 27 per cent of students by the ages of 16 to 18 say they are not interested in science, Bouffard said. “And so we’re trying to help increase awareness and appreciation and literacy in STEM,” Corbeil said.

Educational kits developed by science and tech museum Continued from page 30
By making the kits available to boys and girls, ages eight to 10, in the Scouts Canada program, the museum hopes to reach and educate an impressionable generation. “It’s the perfect age because that’s when we know kids will decide to be open and curious for science, technology, engineering and math, or they might disengage and we want to make them stay engaged, Corbeil said. “So if we can show them that it’s fun and that it’s perhaps not what they think and help them feel a little connected to it, I think that they can carry that forward in their studies and perhaps their career.” The science, technology, engineering and math kits – also known as STEM kits – are designed to be fun as well as educational for the Scouts. The boxes will be based in
a half-dozen Scouting centres across the country, and units can sign them out to learn about space exploration through a half-dozen interactive learning activities on space exploration, rocket science, astronaut training and life on the International Space Station, among other topics. The kits complement a STEM pilot program initiated by Scouts Canada, through which participants can enjoy interactive experiences involving chemistry, engineering and robotics. Scouts Canada reached out in the spring to museum officials after learning about the facility’s educational kits for school children, a program that first launched in 2009, said Corbeil. “They were interested in knowing about our kit program and in those conversations they realized that our kits were very well designed and exactly what they were hoping to have in their kits,” she said.
SUBMITTED
The Canada Science and Technology Museum has developed a new educational kit for Scouts Canada, similar to the kits the museum has developed for Canadian schools. Through the new kits, Scouts, ages eight to 10, will have the opportunity to make experiments and learn about science, technology, engineering and math. “Why reinvent the wheel? We pulled from our existing kits to develop with them as a pilot and we’d certainly

Is Your House Making You Sick? Symptoms: • • • • • • •
Headaches, fatigue, shortness of breath Hypersensitivity, nausea Worsening allergy, asthma symptoms Sinus congestion, cough, sneezing Eye, nose, throat, skin irritation Dizziness and nausea Chronic respiratory disease
Residential home heating has changed drastically over the last 20 years and in our effort to reduce energy used to heat our homes we have sealed our homes up like a tomb to prevent cold air from penetrating our house. In doing so we have set ourselves up to new problems that can cause all kinds of health issues that can have fatal consequences. Here is the information you need to know to keep you and your family safe this winter. Carbon Monoxide Poisoning is the number one cause of accidental poisoning deaths in Canada. Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, and deadly gas that kills quickly. CO is produced by the burning of fuels such as natural gas in gas ranges, cooktops, furnaces & hot water tanks in addition to the burning of wood, kerosene, and propane and of course exhaust from your car. This gas gets trapped in your home in the winter with deadly consequences. . Solution: Install a CO detector in your home (it is now the LAW in Ontario effective Oct. 2014). Note: The CO detector does not prevent carbon monoxide from building up in your home, it simply warns you when it is at unsafe levels where evacuation is mandatory. The only way to assure that your system is safe to operate is through regular annual maintenance & safety inspection by a licensed TSSA certified gas fitter. To learn more about what to look for in an inspection & maintenance visit www.FrancisPlumbing.com Dry air respiratory & skin conditions Dry sinuses, bloody noses, cracked lips, itchy skin, aged appearance, dehydration, continuous coughing, static electric shocks are all signs of a house that is simply too dry. Dry air can rob your body of moisture creating older looking skin and a host of other discomforts and health issues. Solution: Humidifiers can help soothe these familiar problems caused by dry indoor air and can also help ease symptoms of a cold or other respiratory conditions. But humidifiers can also make you sick if they aren't maintained properly or if humidity levels stay too high. If you use humidifiers, be sure to monitor humidity levels and keep your humidifier clean. Dirty humidifiers can breed mold or bacteria. Early symptoms of mold sickness include sneezing, itchy skin, headache, watery and itching eyes and skin irritation. Have questions about cleaning your humidifier or changing filters? Contact Francis Plumbing & Heating. Also note moisture can also build up inside your furnace & AC creating mold growth which then gets blown through your entire house. A proper furnace & AC maintenance can eliminate these potential threats in addition to minimizing your risk of CO poisoning.

SOLUTION: Replace your furnace air filters every 1 to 6 months (depending on the type of filter you are using and the contaminants your home is exposed to like pet dander, smoke, & even the number of people living in the home can affect the air quality). Or upgrade to a better filter system such as the popular Merv 11 filter which removes more dust and air born particles making your air cleaner for healthier breathing.

Candidates clash over the issues at Hunt Club Park debate Differences arise over crime in GloucesterSouthgate Blair Edwards
blair.edwards@metroland.com
News - The battle lines were drawn early in an all-candidates meeting for Gloucester-Southgate Ward at Robert Bateman Public School on Oct. 15. In her opening speech, incumbent Coun. Diane Deans said she was the only candidate with the necessary experience to “get things done” at the council table, and she promised to stay the course on investing in transit and transportation improvements and to keep tax increases low. “(If) I wouldn’t do it with my money, I wouldn’t do it with your money,” she told the 50 people gathered in the school gymnasium for the debate. But her challengers quickly fired back, saying that with the retirements of Couns. Peter Hume, Steve Desroches and Maria McRae as well as Osgoode Coun. Doug Thompson, this was a year of change for municipal politics in south Ottawa. Only four out of the seven candidates showed up for the debate hosted by the Hunt Club Park Community Association: Deans, Brad Pye, Lilly Obina and Mohamed Roble. Missing were candidates Meladul Ahmadzai, George Marko and Rodaina Chahrour. CRIME

Brad Pye, Lilly Obina, Mohamed Roble and Diane Deans duke it out in one of the few debates held in Gloucester-Southgate Ward, hosted by the Hunt Club Park Community Association at Robert Bateman Public School on Oct. 15. challengers early on over the issue of crime and gun violence in south Ottawa. “We have organized crime operating in this area and they operate with impunity,” said Pye. Lilly Obina says she has met a person who was swarmed behind a grocery store, as well as a woman whose house was robbed in Gloucester-Southgate. “That’s crime; it’s happening in
our neighbourhood,” she said. Part of the solution is building a youth centre in Gloucester-Southgate to engage youth and draw them away from participating in illegal activities, said Obina. But the ward already has the Albion Heatherington Recreation Centre and the Greenboro Community Centre, said Deans. “We don’t need to build another centre, we have a wonderful centre
already,” she said. Drugs, shootings, crime in public parks are growing problems in south Ottawa, said Pye and Obina. But Deans said there is no crime problem in Gloucester-Southgate, and that her opponents were just “fear-mongering” to scare up some votes for their campaigns, at the same time driving down property values of homeowners in south Ottawa. “This is a safe community,” she
said. “Crime in this community is not disproportionate to the rest of the city.” Pye disagreed, saying the city’s suburbs aren’t seeing the type of crimes occurring in GloucesterSouthgate. “You’re so ineffective on this (issue),” said Pye. “It’s not happening in the Glebe, it’s not happening in Kanata, it’s not happening in Orléans, it’s happening in our community.” Roble said the city should encourage more youth to become involved in the community. “When they’re civically engaged, they care about the community,” he said. “Let’s talk to our youth. Let’s get them involved in our community.” Pye and Obina both accused Deans of being disconnected with her constituents. “Diane said we don’t need a youth centre. I say we do,” said Obina. “Maybe she’s out of touch because she doesn’t live in this ward.” In a debate held earlier this month, Deans said she moved just outside her ward because of the health care needs of a family member. If re-elected, Deans said she would focus on building more recreation facilities in Gloucester-Southgate, fighting for slower speeds on select streets in her ward, maintaining a strong transit system and keeping tax increases below the rate of inflation. “You’ve had 20 years to do these things and didn’t do anything,” responded Pye, who listed his first priorities as crime prevention, policing and completion of the Alta Vista transportation corridor.

Mix of ages at veterans’ dinner Debate discussion Continued from page 27
He began to make things happen by calling around to banquet halls. Tudor Hall in south Ottawa has been the venue for the event since its inception. “My girlfriend at the time (now Kelly’s wife) essentially told me, ‘You either have to shut up about this or do something about it.’” So he did. “It just came back to the idea that I thought this was a really simple way to express thanks,” he said, adding the event is held in the lead up to Remembrance Day. “It’s about people who are moved to thank retired and active members in the service in a way that’s a little more personal by inviting them out to dinner.” The appreciation dinner has grown over the years, beginning with about 65 people. About 120 veterans and their hosts – those who bring the veterans and their spouses to the sitdown meal – enjoyed the social evening last year. “There’s no grand plan in my mind to make this thousands of people strong. The intimate nature of the size we have – I think that adds a lot
to the feel of the evening.” Many of those who attend, both veterans and their hosts, come back every year. Military spouses are also an important part of the evening, said Kelly. “We do feel it’s pretty important to recognize the role of spouses in the military family because, as you can imagine, deployments can be pretty challenging times for families.” The event will be emceed by Ottawa CTV News anchor Carol Anne Meehan, and Soldier On representative Sgt. Bjarne Nielsen, who was injured in Afghanistan, will be the guest speaker this year. Nielsen was among a group of soldiers who skied the last 100 kilometres to the North Pole last April. Today, he works with Soldier On, an organization that helps injured military members transition back to work in the forces or into civilian life. The Canadian Military Wives Choir, which is based in Stittsville and formed last fall, have been invited to perform for the first time during the event. They will start off the evening with O Canada and sing a medley later in the evening. Among those who gather annu-
ally at Tudor Hall for the meal is a group of women that served in the Air Force during the Second World War. One was a mobile radar operator who was stationed in the Yukon at that time. Some of those who are treated to dinner during Take a Veteran to Dinner Night are in their 90s, and Kelly is always impressed by their life experiences. “That’s the neat thing when we’ve got vets from different generations that are wowing each other with their stories, and it’s really neat to kind of eavesdrop on,” said Kelly. Those veterans are often appreciative when hosts bring their children, some of whom are as young as 10 years old, to the dinner. “A lot of the older vets just love to know that younger Canadians are wanting to participate and be part of it too,” he said. The deadline to purchase tickets to Take a Veteran to Dinner Night is the morning of Friday, Oct. 24. The event will be held at Tudor Hall, located at 3750 North Bowesville Rd. North.

One of the first things Pye said he will do if elected is sit down with Ottawa police Chief Charles Bordeleau to discuss drawing up an action plan to tackle crime in south Ottawa. He also promised to hold regular town hall meetings with residents to talk about issues within the ward. Roble said he wants to encourage more people to vote and to transform city hall to reflect the diversity of Ottawa’s changing demographics. “We are one of the most diverse areas across Ottawa and I would like to see more diversity in city hall as well.” Obina lists her election priorities as crime and policing, as well as bringing more jobs to Gloucester-Southgate, comparing the ward to Kanata and Orléans. “These places are better off than we are. Kanata has a business park. We always look for this. We can set up the next BlackBerry in our ward.” Deans said it isn’t a city’s role to create jobs. “It’s city council’s job to create con-
ditions for (jobs) and that’s what I’ve been doing,” said Deans, who pointed out there were already two business parks within her ward and many businesses operating on airport lands. Pye said the Alta Vista transportation corridor needs to be a priority. “(The) Alta Vista transportation corridor is the heart and soul, it is ... key for future development here,” he said. Pye criticized Deans for the city’s handling of the Airport Parkway pedestrian bridge, a $7 million project that ballooned in cost to $12 million and was plagued by years of construction delays. “We don’t need more $12-million bridges. We need that money to be spent in our community.” In their closing remarks Pye and Obina asked residents to vote for change. Deans promised to stay the course if elected and continue to press for improvements in her community. “I don’t agree with Brad or Lilly’s pie-in-the-sky ideas or their negative characterizations of this neighbourhood,” she said.

November is Adoption Awareness Month
Adoption - A wonderful option
E
very child deserves to have a family of his or her own. Adoption is one way to bring together children who need families and families who want to parent children. Children in the care of the Children's Aid Society and waiting to be adopted come from a variety of cultural, ethnic and religious backgrounds. Older children waiting to be adopted have experienced challenges in their short lives and need time, patience and help to adjust to a new home. Others may have developmental, physical, or other types of challenges. If adoption is being considered as an option for you, please visit our web site to review profiles of currently waiting children.

Billings seances capture essence of Victorian-era gatherings Erin McCracken
erin.mccracken@metroland.com
News - As skeptical as Brahm Lewandowski is, he says he still can’t completely reason away strange happenings at the historic Billings Estate Museum, the home once owned by Braddish Billings and his wife Lamira. The museum has been the venue for several seances over the years, and this weekend Merrickville-based psychic Connie Adams will again attempt to channel spirits of people who have died. Seances on Oct. 24 and 25 are already sold out though a few spots were still available for the Oct. 26 event as of press time. Museum staff who have participated in past seances have reportedly felt sensations and temperature changes, and picked up on strong smells in the room. One staff member said she suddenly felt as though blinders had been placed near her eyes, said Lewandowski, the city’s museum administrator for Billings Estate, Pinhey’s Point Historic Site, the Nepean Museum and Fairfields Heritage House. When she looked to see who had done such a thing,
she had trouble turning her head to look. When Lewandowski sat in on one of Adams’ seances about six years ago, he was struck by the strong emotions people experienced. “It can be pretty emotional for people because for a lot of people the medium is successful in channeling spirits they identify with – loved ones, so family members, primarily – who have passed on,” he said. “It’s more real than a lot of people expect it to be.” The events will be equal parts entertainment and history lesson. Participants will learn the history of seances and have the chance to view photos of historic seances that were taken by a medical doctor who was also a medium. A seance is about entertainment, old fashioned entertainment,” said psychic Connie Adams. “Talking to people that have passed over, it’s a whole lot of fun actually and it’s a very unique experience with people. “People come for all kinds of reasons – maybe they’ve encountered a ghost. Maybe they’ve seen an alien. Maybe they’re seeking validation or something where they’ve had dreams about people that
have come true. People have their own set of hopes and beliefs.” While there is no evidence that seances were held at the historic house, the upcoming public events will give people a sense of why seances were so popular during the Victorian era, Lewandowski said. “There was a strong sense of remembrance or commemoration of loved ones and so people viewed seances as a way to communicate with people who had passed away. So it was a way of keeping in touch,” he said. That is evident in the popularity of seances as well as the use of death photos during that time. Photos were often taken of people after they had passed away as a way to commemorate their life, Lewandowski said. “For instance, the only photo that we have of Braddish Billings is his death photo,” he said of the original property owner who wouldn’t allow his photo to be taken while he was alive. Museum employees have also experienced strange phenomena at the house when it’s not Halloween. See MUSEUM, page 40

Museum staff report inexplicable phenomena Continued from page 39
“Footsteps in rooms immediately above them when they know that nobody’s up there,” said Lewandowski. “Like they’ve just gone through the museum and locked everything up, and there’s two people in the place and those two people are in the same together and they hear something in the room above them.” Stories of staff members’ children seeing real people at the museum whom the adults couldn’t see also stand out in Lewandowski’s mind. There is also a cemetery at the southwest corner of the property where almost 150 people are buried. ‘They couldn’t bury people in the winter so they may have stored bodies in the basement until (they could) actually bury them,” Lewandowski said. “For that reason, there is the possibility of spiritual activity, I guess, depending on your level of skepticism.” He said he hasn’t wit-
nessed paranormal activity at the house, but he admits it can be disconcerting working alone at the old house where people have died. “I have worked here late on many occasions. It is an uneasy house to be in, I guess,” he said. “There are times at night when you feel uncomfortable.” To register for the $30 seance, which takes place Oct. 26 at 7:30 p.m., call Billings Estate at 613-247-4830. The estate will host a Christmas seance on Dec. 19 at 7 p.m. Registration is required. What’s happening

Parkways can’t survive without LRT: expert Urban planner presents viewpoint that conflicts with official vision Laura Mueller
laura.mueller@metroland.com
News - Despite resolutely rejecting the city’s idea of running light rail along the Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway, the National Capital Commission recently hosted an
expert speaker who argues for just such a plan. In the first event of its evening public speakers series on Oct. 16, the NCC invited Robert Fishman , a professor of architecture and urban planning at the University of Michigan, to speak to the legacy of
parkways. In highlighting the history of how the linear parks punctuated with roadways evolved, Fishman said when it comes to the situation Ottawa is facing, Fishman said he understands the issue is complicated, but he didn’t mince words when asked for his outsider perspective. “I have the relatively easy task of saying that ultimately, I don’t think a parkway system in the future can work without light rail and light rail access,” he said.
format for the first parkways developed in the late 1800s could be a lesson for how cities can re-imagine their parkways for the future. For instance, some of the first parkways designed by Frederick Law Olmstead were meant for horse-drawn buggies and featured a side path for pedestrians, which were eventually converted for use by bicycles and cars after they were invented.
The “tough matter,” Fishman said, is deciding where to locate that light rail access. “Light rail, I think, is a whole lot more flexible than people realize,” he said, describing how rail tracks used to be threaded through neighbourhoods, with no more danger to the public than a roadway. Some of the best old neighbourhoods are former “streetcar suburbs.” That argument picked up on the theme of his talk, which focused on how the flexibility and lack of rigid

Ottawa South News - Thursday, October 23, 2014
Trick or Treat with the Mayor The Mayor invites you to an evening of safe Halloween fun in support of the Ottawa Food Bank’s Baby Supply Cupboard. Laura Mueller/Metroland
Robert Fishman, a professor of architecture and urban planning at the University of Michigan, speaks about the legacy if parkways in North America to a crowd gathered at the National Capital Commission’s urbanism lab on Oct. 16.
‘Tension’ between roads and park: expert Continued from page 41
In the same way, including light rail along parkways isn’t uncommon, Fishman said. He pointed to Roland Park, a suburb of Baltimore, where tracks were placed right through the centre of the neighbourhood. “It ran right through this beautiful parkway that was lined with the most magnificent houses in Baltimore,” he said. “They appreciated that it was running right in front of their front doors. “I think that the way in which light rail can really coexist with a neighbourhood is one of the many things we’ve forgotten,” Fishman said. PARK VS. ROAD DISCREPENCY
Fishman’s talk highlighted the tension between the intent of a parkway as a park that can bring people closer to nature, versus the way many parkways have evolved to become de facto highways. “The association between the parkway and the car, is to my mind, right now, obsolete,” Fishman said. “We need a much more complex way of using the parkway and of accessing the parkway.” The original essence of the roadway experience of a parkway was for motorists to meander down its length at a slow speed, stopping to take walks or hikes in the parkland along the way. That changed when faster cars were invented, Fishman said. But re-
turning to that original intent of “the basic social character” of the parkway is what will save the form in the future, he said. “In the future, I think what we call the parkways, the linear parks, will be used by people who don’t get there by car, but who get there by various forms of transit, bikes or by walking,” Fishman said. “That’s one of the main reasons we have to put the roadway and the automobile in its place in the parkway.” That was one of the main takeaways of the NCC’s chief executive, Mark Kristmansson, who did not directly respond to a question about how Fishman’s LRT message directly conflicts with the NCC’s own position on the matter. “Of course, his overall message is ‘Why don’t we slow down?’” Kristmanson said. The NCC executive said he was fascinated by Fishman’s descriptions of how the cross sections of parkways – the widths allotted to different uses, such as parkland, pathways and roadways – could be re-used. That message is “inspirational” as the NCC looks to undertake a study on how to transform the Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway into a linear park. “It’s very timely for use to consider all these things and also somewhat hopeful in that parkways have a history and they also have a future and maybe high speed is not part of that future,” Kristmanson said.
Saturday, October 25, 2014 – 4 to 7 p.m. Ottawa City Hall, 110 Laurier Avenue Trick or treat with the Mayor and your favourite costumed characters in Jean Pigott Place and visit the spooky witches’ den in Andrew S. Haydon Hall. The excitement continues outside on Marion Dewar Plaza where you can decorate your very own miniature pumpkin, take photos in the fun, fall-themed photo booth and ride the Giant Tiger train.
Admission is a donation to the Ottawa Food Bank’s Baby Supply Cupboard.
Please advise of any accessibility-related accommodation. Please note that this is not a nut-free event.

Mayoral race comes down to two candidates Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com
News - Despite attempts to fire up the electorate over issues such as light rail and garbage pickup, the mayoral race may be one of the sleepiest Ottawa has seen in years. In contrast to the 2010 election, which saw Jim Watson beat out embattled incumbent Larry Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien, former regional chairman Andy Haydon and former Capital Coun. Clive Doucet, the 2014 campaign has been mostly a two-horse race. The only candidate out of eight mayoral contenders to launch a serious campaign has been Mike Maguire, making his second bid for the mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chair â&#x20AC;&#x201C; he placed with 2.4 per cent of the vote in 2010. Unlike last time, there are both fewer incendiary issues and fewer personalities in the race leading up to the Oct. 27 vote. With the first phase of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s light-rail transit plan underway and the second phase enshrined in the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s transportation master plan, adopted last year, transit â&#x20AC;&#x201C; while still an important issue for many voters in urban areas â&#x20AC;&#x201C; isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the make-or-break issue for a mayoral candidate that it was in the past two elections. For the record, Watson wants to stay the course on the light-rail plan that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been
MIKE MAGUIRE the architect of over the past four years. It would extend LRT west to Bayshore Station, south to Bowesville and east to Place Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;OrlĂŠans by 2023 at a cost of $2.5 billion. Maguire would start over and use existing rail lines throughout the city to run a lower-frequency commuter service, at a cost of around $355 million.
JIM WATSON
He has spent the campaign trying to set himself in contrast to Watson: he is a business executive, while Watson is a career politician. Maguire said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d slow down on acquiring new municipal debt and take a more austere approach to spending taxpayersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; dollars, although he is interested in boosting garbage pickup by returning to weekly
service (a trash incinerator is his long-term solution). Watson has campaigned on his record: finally getting light rail started, keeping tax increases within the rate of inflation and freezing recreational fees. But perhaps Watsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest achievements at city hall have been less tangible: improving decorum around
the council horseshoe and increasing transparency and accountability through a series of new policies. Another candidate, Anwar Syed, has also shown up to debates, but appears to be taking his candidacy less seriously. He sent an email to a number of council candidates whose platforms he agrees with asking them to carry a
message to vote for him or Maguire for mayor. Syed has said light rail needs to reach further to the burbs Kanata, Barrhaven and OrlĂŠans earlier than Watsons plan, and at a lower cost â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but has offered few details. He also wants to develop alternative routes to the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 400series highways and build overpasses and underpasses to eliminate roadways crossing rail tracks. Another mayoral candidate, Darren Wood, has been less visible but was the only other candidate to respond to an email request for a synopsis of his candidacy. He said his platform is about change, common sense and transparency. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A vote for me means a return to weekly garbage pickup, the end of the Orgaworld contract and an end to our debt,â&#x20AC;? Wood wrote in an email. Other candidates registered to run for mayor are: Bernard Couchman, Rebecca Pyrah, Michael St. Arnaud and Robert White. In the end, it will come down to two: Maguire and Watson. While Maguireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s message might have more pull for conservative voters and those in rural wards like Osgoode, Rideau-Goulbourn and West Carleton-March, which went to Larry Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien in the last election, Maguire is running a tough race against a strong incumbent on Oct. 27.

Environment takes centre stage for Capital Ward Candidates declare support for environmental issues Michelle Nash
michelle.nash@metroland.com
News - Environment issues dominated the conversation at a recent Capital Ward debate.
All three candidates running for councillor, David Chernushenko, Scott Blurton and Espoire Manirambona, participated in the Oct. 15 debate in Old Ottawa South, organized by seven city organizations. The evening focused on what each candidate would do to support environment concerns at city hall. Greenspace Alliance of Canada’s Capital, Ottawa Riverkeeper and Ottawa Public Interest Research Group Carleton had a prepared question for the candidates, looking at reducing
the city’s carbon footprint, increasing green infrastructure and supporting urban wetlands. Chernushenko expressed his desire to push the city on issues such as reducing its carbon footprint, with solutions such as retrofitting buildings and creating design standards. He also mentioned the importance to empower people to make bigger changes than simply using green bins or rain barrels, adding that those changes need to start at a city level. When addressing concerns about
pollution in the Ottawa River, Blurton said he feels the city needs to take a closer look at what is going down its drains and make changes accordingly to stop the pollution. Throughout the debate, Manirambona expressed his desire to work with constituents to find the appropriate solution to environment concerns and issues, adding that he felt worker cooperatives and giving people a stronger, more democratic voice was key to success in making the city a greener, cleaner place.
With the formal portion of the debate complete, candidates began to take questions from the floor and first up was one resident asking each candidate to address the recent concerns raised with the city’s green bin program. “I hear this a lot at the doors,” Blurton said. “People have challenges. I am in support of the green bin program but hear of vermin issues.” See GREEN, page 57

Apple and cheese French toast sandwiches a new take on old standard
Attach a War Amps confidentially coded key tag to your key ring. It’s a safeguard for all your keys – not just car keys.
Lifestyle - In this “grilled cheese and apple sandwich meets French toast,” thin slices of apples are wedged between two slices of cheese and bread. Preparation time: 10 minutes. Cooking time: 10 minutes. Serves four.
If you lose your keys, The War Amps can return them to you by courier – free of charge.
Ingredients
• 8 slices day old sourdough, French or Italian bread • 8 slices medium cheddar cheese • 2 McIntosh or empire apples, thinly sliced • 3 eggs • 175 ml (3/4 cup) milk • 25 ml (2 tbsp) granulated sugar
When you use War Amps key tags, you support the Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program. DRI

The War Amps 1 800 250-3030 customerservice@waramps.ca waramps.ca
• 2 ml (1/2 tsp) vanilla • 25 ml (2 tbsp) butter • maple syrup Preparation
Place four slices of the bread on a work surface and top each with one slice of cheese. Place an even layer of apples on the cheese, then top each with a second cheese slice. Cover each with the remaining slices of bread to make four sandwiches. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar and vanilla until smooth. Pour the mixture into a shallow dish large enough to hold one sandwich. In a large nonstick skillet,
melt the butter over medium heat. Dip the first sandwich into the egg mixture, turning to soak (don’t over soak). Repeat with a second sandwich and add both sandwiches to the skillet and cook until golden brown on both sides -- two to three minutes per side. Repeat the process with the other two sandwiches. Cut all the cooked sandwiches in half and serve with maple syrup. Tip: One or two day-old stale bread is ideal for French toast as fresh bread absorbs too much liquid, making it soggy.

and Gatineau Hills. Think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only a dream?

Green bin rollout `not good`: councillor Continued from page 51
Blurton added he feels that when it comes to the program, there could be ways to improve the current system. Chernushenko said he felt education was also the key to creating a successful green bin program. “If people want weekly garbage, well guess what, they’ve got it,” he said. “If the garbage stinks, it’s because it’s not being diverted properly. But, maggots, vermin are real. So let’s start with education. Maybe we need videos to show best practices or let people have different sized containers.” Chernushenko then asked the crowd if any of them knew there were different sizes of the green
OVER
bin containers, for instance, apartment-size ones for homes that do not have as much space. Most of the audience responded saying they did not know that. “The education was not nearly as good,” Chernushenko said. “I was assured there would be education and took city staff on their word and I won’t do that again.” Manirambona said he loves the green bin, but when it comes to fixing the current problems such as maggots, vermin and frequency of use, the answer lies speaking with residents and experts. “I would go to the experts and listen to what they have to say,” Manirambona said, adding that he would also like to look at other ways of diverting the green bin
waste, including finding closer, notfor-profit organizations to handle the processing, stating he believes this would create a better service for residents overall. The election takes place on Oct. 27. More information about Capital Ward candidates is available at Ottawa.ca.

Farm Boy celebrates the tastes of our community at Local Food Fair October 28 By David Johnston metroland media
From its inception as a tiny fresh produce store in Cornwall, Farm Boy has always supported local producers. Now a growing chain of quality food markets, the commitment to local food vendors still fills their shelves. In Ottawa, the relationship with local food suppliers is a tasteful blend of everything from soup to nuts, almost literally. “We feature more than 40 local products in our stores,” says Carolyn Trudel, Farm Boy’s Director of Marketing. “Small producers are unique and know that quality is what will make their product stand out. It’s a great relationship that our customers appreciate.” To celebrate the vast array of local foods, the Farm Boy Train Yards location at 665 Industrial Ave. is hosting a Local Food Fair Tuesday October 28, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The community is welcome to stop by to meet the makers and enjoy some tasty samples. “Our stores are brim-
ming with unique and tasty locally-made products and we’re always on the lookout for more, says Carolyn.” “We encourage local producers to stop by the fair and meet with our buyers.” All products are welcome – produce, grocery, meat, seafood, dairy, deli, cheese, floral and bakery products. Local producers should email the company in advance to book an appointment at fbmail@farmboy.ca It’s the kind of event that can make all the difference for a small business trying to get established. That’s what happened with Amanda Lunan, founder and president of Aunti Loo’s Treats Inc. A dedicated vegan for more than a decade, Amanda created a bakery reminiscent of her childhood, baking with her Nana, when food was delicious and comforting. It was from this desire, armed with her Nana’s recipes that Auntie Loo’s was born.
“Farm Boy took a big chance with a beloved but small scale local brand. Thanks to Farm Boy we were able to expand our business and double our workforce, employing more local people. We are forever grateful for the opportunity,” says Amanda Lunan.
Auntie Loo’s Treats is Ottawa’s first 100% vegan bakery. They don’t use eggs, dairy, or other animalderived product in any of their delicious delights. “Our treats are made using small scale batches, and are always from scratch. We use organic and local products whenever we can, and we believe in desserts that

are fresh, not frozen. We are able to accommodate most allergies. Many of our treats can be made glutenfree!” Kimmi Uriu, creator of Kimicha Tea, has a similar passion about her product. “I want to create a brand that is recognized in Canada,” she says. “I want people to know the difference between a good tea and the kind that is mass produced. I want to help with educating people to make the best cup of tea.” Her dedication has paid off with a recent victory in the Black Tea category of an international taste competition. “I am very proud that my small company could win,” she admits. “Tea is my life. It started from my own travels when people would like the tea I brought home. It gradually grew into a business. I enjoy it a lot and I love the culture behind tea drinking. Travelling to find tea really helps to get to know the culture” “Farm Boy has been a really good match for us from the beginning,” points out Kimmi. “They care about quality and put a big focus on small suppliers. They care where our tea comes from and have helped us a lot. They now carry eight varieties of Kimicha Organic Tea under the Farm Boy label. The reaction has been very positive. People are very excited when we do demos. For Natural Kitchen Wizard Korey Kealey, developing the enerjive™ SKINNY cracker was all about healthy, tasty snacking. Korey’s intolerance to gluten led her to quinoa —
gluten free, high in protein, promoting energy and a healthy metabolism, quinoa was the magic ingredient she needed — but she couldn’t find products with it that also tasted good. “So many people would benefit from this product,” she mused, “but it needs to taste good.” And with that thought as her guide, the snacker/dunker was born! Korey created an array of yummy quinoa SKINNY Cracker flavours to satisfy her every whim throughout the day. Since then, enerjive has landed in quality food retailers like Farm Bay across Canada. “We are a company that believes food should taste good and be good for you!” says Korey. “Enerjive has been working with Farm Boy for over four years. In fact, we will have our three-year on the shelf anniversary on December 8, 2014 but leading up to having the Quinoa Crackers on the shelf, the Farm Boy marketing and buying team coached enerjive until the product was shelf and consumer ready! It has been a fabulous, interactive and very supportive relationship.” “Farm Boy is one of our key accounts and having enerjive widely available across Eastern Ontario and now in Southern Ontario allows us to drive consumers to stores that most everyone can get to and love the experience!” “Farm Boy always offers unique, innovative and specialty products. Educated consumers who want the best for their families at great prices shop at Farm Boy. We are very proud to be one of their main offerings in the gluten free section and now even in Deli

www.enerjive.com sometimes! The crackers are delicious with cheese and dips so being in Deli is a super spot for enerjive too. As a local vendor, this is the type of support we can count on from Farm Boy,” Korey adds. “Every part of the Farm Boy team is welcoming and supportive right from Shipping and Receiving to Home Office and in between...we really learned the grocery industry with our hands held by Farm Boy.” Another local business that is thriving at Farm Boy is H & A All-Natural Nut Bars. Made of entirely natural ingredients with no added chemicals or sugar, the sweetness comes from pure honey and fresh nuts. It’s the kind of flavour that blends well with Farm Boy’s commitment to natural goodness. Hanna’s Bakery, makers of Perfect Pita, is another small, local company with a big future. Owner Charbel Azzi is proud that his product is popular at Farm Boy and across the region.

Updated fire code came into effect Oct. 15 Steph Willems
steph.willems@metroland.com
News – If they don’t already, homeowners will now have two safety alarms to check each year. Effective Oct. 15, the Ontario government has made functioning carbon monoxide detectors mandatory for all homes and multi-unit residential buildings. The regulation is an update of the province’s fire code, and is based on recommendations from an advisory committee led by the Office of the Fire Marshall and Emergency Management. Representatives from the province’s fire services, hotel and rental housing industries, condo owners and alarm manufacturers had input in the recommendations. “We want Ontarians to be aware of the dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning because these tragedies are preventable,” stated Yasir Naqvi, minister of community safety and correctional services, in a media release. “The change to the Fire Code is all about making sure we keep our families and homes safe. I urge all Ontarians to install a carbon mon-

oxide alarm in their homes immediately.” The detectors should be placed near sleeping areas in homes, and in the service rooms and sleeping areas in apartment buildings. Bill 77, an Act to Proclaim Carbon Monoxide Awareness Week and to amend the Fire Protection and Prevention Act, was passed in Ontario legislature in December 2013. A major proponent of the legislation was John Gignac, co-chairman of the Hawkins-Gignac Foundation for (Carbon Monoxide) Education.

deaths
Gignac, a long-time Ontario firefighter, campaigned for changes to the Fire Code following the carbon monoxide deaths of his niece, Laurie Hawkins, and her family in December 2008. A blocked chimney flue was blamed for the deaths. In their memory, Gignac formed a charitable foundation that campaigned for carbon monoxide awareness and distributed detectors to at-risk familes. In a released statement, Gignac urged Ontarians and all Canadians to install alarm “so we can combat the silent killer.” Resulting from Bill 77, the province’s first Carbon Monoxide Awareness Week will take place Nov. 1 to 8.

One special Saturday night reserved for pre-Christmas magic
T
MARY COOK Memories years to go. And I loved the feel of the soft downy combinations that came with the faintest mauve lines in the material, and I was happy to see that a set had joined the list on the order form. We worked our way through the catalogue, me “oohing and ahhing” over the bolts of material, the shoes, and of course, the galoshes with the fur trim, just like the ones Marguirite wore to the Northcote School. My galoshes were hand-medowns from Audrey, simple black rubber ones with clamp hooks down the front. They wore the look of many years of hard wear, with patches upon patches Father had put on, much the same way as when he fixed the inner tubes of the Model T Ford. My three brothers were each to
get a new plaid flannelette shirt to wear to school. They had no choice in the pattern or the colour. Mother just wrote down a number, and that was all there was to it. And then there were the pages devoted to Christmas. This, without a doubt, was my very favourite part of the catalogue. There were pages of decorations, packages of tinsel, and Christmas lights for those lucky enough to have electricity. There would be no entries in the order form from those pages, I knew for a fact. But Mother knew how much I loved that section, and so she let me run my fingers down the pages, and in my mind’s eye, I would pretend the Christmas balls, the fancy wrapping paper, and rolls of ribbons, which for some reason only came in red, green and navy blue, would be added to the list. And then closer to the back of the catalogue were pages of Christmas
candy. It came in colourful tins and pails, and I was sure I could smell the peppermint and the caramel right off the pictures. The tins and pails were tilted over, spilling out the candies, and each piece looked like you could pick it right off the page. Then Mother would ask which pail or tin I thought looked the best, and I would agonize over the pictures, rubbing my finger down the page from the top to the bottom, finally settling on one that had hard candies of every shape and size. And I would see Mother write the number on the order form in front of her. With that, I would be filled with the utmost joy. Real Christmas candy. Could there be anything more wonderful? At the very bottom of the order Mother would print three letters: C.O.D. That meant the order would be either delivered by the mailman, at which time Mother would have to come up with the money to pay for it, or it would go to Briscoe’s
General Store. It would be many years later that I would learn that if the order went to the store, and Mr. Briscoe knew Mother might not have all the money to pay for her Eaton’s order, he would simply add it to her bill, and she paid it off, bit by bit, when she could. True Christmas spirit prevailed back then, many weeks before that magic time came about. And it all started around the old pine table and Eaton’s catalogue, and culminated when it arrived at Northcote, either delivered by our mailman, or with a phone call from Mr. Briscoe that the parcel of treasures had arrived.

his was to be the night. I was so excited, even my toes tingled. It was a Saturday, but there would be no Saturday night house party that week. No, this night would be extra special, because Mother, Audrey and I would sit at the kitchen table and go through Eaton’s catalogue, page by page, and pick out our winter order. Father seemed to take forever at the supper table. He poured his green tea into his saucer, and sat back in his chair waiting for it to cool off. Why didn’t he take it over to the oven door and sip it there? He’d soon be there anyway, leafing through the Ottawa Farm Journal. But no, he sat there like he had all the time in the world. I ushered all the dishes to the other end of the old pine table, Audrey brought over the dish pan full of hot water, and it looked very much like we were going to have to work around him. I let out great sighs, and wiped the red-checked oilcloth within a fraction of his saucer, but that did little to hurry up Father. Finally, he was finished. Never have supper dishes been washed, dried and put away in the cupboard so fast. We wiped the oilcloth dry with a tea towel, Mother took Eaton’s catalogue off the ice box and sat at the head of the table, Audrey and I on either side of her. At the back of the catalogue was the order form. Mother had already filled in the blanks on where the order was to be sent, and all that was needed was a list of the items we would be choosing. We would start at the front, as usual, but we had no interest in the corsets, so Mother quickly moved on to dresses, blouses, and skirts. Even though Audrey looked longingly at the skirts with pleats, she knew better than to ask for one. Any new skirt would come right out of one of Uncle Jack’s dress suits that came regularly in the hand-medown box from Regina. So Mother moved on to the underwear. There were the cursed navy blue fleece-lined bloomers. I got a new pair of them every winter, because there wasn’t much left to them by the time winter was over. She wrote down the number and size, and moved on to the combination underwear. Audrey had long since grown out of long underwear, but I had a few

MacLeod kicks off PC leadership campaign with high-octane launch jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
News - Lisa MacLeod said her biggest strength for the coming race to lead Ontario’s Progressive Conservatives is her ability to connect with people just like her. MacLeod, MPP for Nepean-Carleton, launched her campaign on Oct. 19 at the National Arts Centre. “I have been able to, in the last four elections, in the biggest city in eastern Ontario, to build a coalition to send me to Queen’s Park,” she said. “It’s because I have been able to connect with people just like me – who are either a new Ontarian or a soccer mom, who aren’t traditionally voting Progressive Conservative – but have chosen me as their messenger. I am going to reconnect with them across Ontario.” MacLeod faces some stiff competition from Christine Elliot, the wife of late federal finance minister Jim Flaherty, as well as caucus mates Vic
Fedeli, Monte McNaughton and federal Conservative MP Patrick Brown have already announced they’re running for the leadership. From now until the two votes on May 3 and 7, MacLeod said she plans to visit all 107 ridings in the province. “If I am the leader I will ensure Ontarians believe in us again,” she said. MacLeod kicked off her campaign with a high octane cheering session and a crowd of supporters – including husband Joe Varner and their daughter Victoria. Victoria’s Girl Guide troop was also on hand selling cookies while people registered to become cardcarrying Conservatives. She also had support from York Region and Simcoe County MPPs Julia Munro and Garfield Dunlop, as well as neighbouring MPPs Steve Clark (Leeds-Grenville) and Jim McDonnell (StormontDundas-South Glengarry). She said the path to success is a return to basics. “We need to believe in what
we stand for again,” she said. “No more campaign surprises. Those elected by the executive and the members of caucus will have a seat at the table for the campaign. I can’t wait for those debates.” MacLeod said the core values of living within our means while helping those who can’t help themselves is a message that will allow Ontarians to believe in the PCs again. “June 12 was the toughest day of my political career,” MacLeod said, referring to the recent election results. “Like everyone here (at the NAC), my heart was broken when our party lost our fourth consecutive election to a tired, worn out and scandal-plagued Liberal government. I believe we need to reconnect with Ontarians by showing them that the values they hold dear are the same values that unite us as Progressive Conservatives.” MacLeod said she came to Ontario as a university student with a loan and $200 in her JENNIFER MCINTOSH/METROLAND pocket. Lisa MacLeod revs up the crowd at her leadership campaign launch on Oct. 19. MacLeod See ONTARIO, page 64

of a colony does not work. Nature, as they say, abhors a vacuum and other cats simply come to occupy the vacant colony, generally because of its proximity to shelter, food and water. The effectiveness of TNR was proven with the gradual elimination of the Parliament Hill Colony by some amazingly committed volunteers and the OHS a few years ago. Like so many issues in animal welfare, controversies rage, and numbers of animals often exceed our resources to help. There are likely dozens of colonies in the Ottawa area, possibly many more. In fact, one of these controversies is how many feral cats there actually are in a given community. The OHS helps a handful of colony caretakers with surgical and other medical services, and we are very proud of our role in humanely eliminating the Parliament Hill colony, but our efforts are likely the proverbial drop in the bucket.Our best hope is education and promoting the kind of responsibility that would stop feral cats from coming into existence in the first place, through spaying and neutering cats and not letting them roam. And this takes time. R0012952934.1023
ENDORA ID#A127819
You may not have heard, but last Thursday was National Feral Cat Day. Feral cats occupy a grey zone in the world of animal welfare. They are not wildlife per se. They are interlopers in our natural world and can cause considerable destruction in wild bird and mammal populations. They were introduced through human irresponsibility, and therefore are a human responsibility. But they are not fully domestic pets either. They cannot just be rounded up and socialized. Kittens up to four months can be socialized, but adults will frequently injure themselves trying to escape when confined. Their panic in prolonged confinement is simply not humane. Most progressive humane societies like the Ottawa Humane Society practice Trap, Neuter, Return (TNR) to address the needs of feral cats. Feral cats are removed from a colony, sterilized, vaccinated, and then returned to the colony. If newly introduced cats — new stray cats and the feral’s kittens — are consistently removed, the colony will disappear over time. Studies indicate that simply removing all the members
is campaigning to lead the Ontario Progressive Conservatives.
Whiskey and Chaos
Whiskey on the top, Chaos on the bottom. Chaos’ name said it all until Whiskey joined our family, bouncing off the walls with endless energy. Now he’s calmed down with a new baby sister to take care of, and a baby she is. They’re both super effectionate and loving but whacky at times like all boxers should be. But when Chaos gets started, you can almost guarantee it was Whiskey that got him going. 9d ndj i]^c` ndjg eZi ^h XjiZ Zcdj\] id WZ ÆI=: E:I D; I=: L::@Ç4 HjWb^i V e^XijgZ VcY h]dgi W^d\gVe]n d[ ndjg eZi id ÒcY dji H^bean ZbV^a id/ Yi]Zg^Zc5eZg[eg^ci#XV ViiZci^dc ÆEZi d[ i]Z LZZ`Ç Ottawa South News - Thursday, October 23, 2014

Ontario a have-not province: MacLeod Continued from page 63
She saw Ontario as the land of opportunity with a minimum wage twice that of her native Nova Scotia. Now she calls it a havenot province, with a debt load higher than all other provinces combined. She said she doesn’t want to see the next generation leave Ontario to find a land of opportunity in Newfoundland, Alberta or Saskatchewan. The first step to changing the course the province is on is to pick the right leader, MacLeod said. “I will need you to sell memberships, make phone calls and raise money,” she said. “This
will be a long campaign, but made easier with your help.” When asked if her ties to Tim Hudak would hurt her in the leadership race, MacLeod said every leadership candidate was a member of the party during Hudak’s tenure. “Success has a million fathers, but failure is an orphan,” MacLeod said. “At the end of the day the biggest thing I can do is reconnect with people that haven’t been connecting with our party. They will look at my story, they’ll look at my energy and the teams I have been able to build.” She added that she wasn’t an adviser during Hudak’s campaign. “During the last campaign I
did as I was asked, just like I did under John Tory. I have my own voice. I have my own ideas in the direction of my party.” Local business leaders and municipal election candidates turned out for MacLeod’s event. Alex Lewis said he believes the province needs an economic driver. “I think Lisa MacLeod is that strong economic driver,” he said. “She’s going to create jobs. She’s going to return employment and prosperity back to this province. She’s the leader we need right now.” Mike Maguire, currently in his own leadership race, vying to be at the head of Ottawa’s council table against incum-
bent Mayor Jim Watson, said he likes MacLeod’s youth and energy. “I respect her enormous organizational skills,” he said. “This is someone who is really focused. She has all the right tools to take us to victory.” Maguire said the party needs to get back to basics. “We have to speak to Ontarians like they’re adults,” he said. “They’re concerned about their energy costs, their healthcare, transportation and the safety of their communities. We solve these issues; we are going to be in victory.” JENNIFER MCINTOSH/METROLAND The results of the leader- A local Girl Guide troop expresses support for Lisa ship vote will be announced MacLeod during her PC leadership campaign launch on May 9. on Oct. 19.

Prepare to be scared: Watson’s Mill to make second haunted house creepier Emma Jackson
emma.jackson@metroland.com
Community - Legend has it that Watson’s Mill has been haunted since the death of a young bride more than 150 years ago. Ghostly sightings, unexplained footsteps and hair-raising happenings have made the mill a popular destination for paranormal investigators for years, and staff have built on that reputation with a three-day haunting extravaganza just in time for Halloween. The three-day haunted house had 600 people running for the exits in its first year, and now the second-annual event will extend its bony grasp to
the mill’s second storey. “Be prepared to be scared,” said education officer Cam Trueman. “We’re going to put a lot more emphasis on action.” Beginning on Oct. 23, guests can work up the courage to wander through the Watson’s Mill maze despite the risk of running afoul of wily witches, demonic dolls and a basement full of zombies. Trueman said the trip through the haunted house will be scarier and longer than last year’s event – adding he wants the haunting to someday take over the whole village. “We eventually want to build this down the street,” he said. “My goal
in 10 years is to have the whole village involved.” Already the teen demographic is heavily involved, with volunteers from area high schools populating the gory grist mill and grabbing at guests as they run past. The mill has partnered with the Manotick Village Community Association’s youth group to make the event possible. The event runs Thursday, Oct. 23 to Saturday, Oct. 25 from 7 to 9:30 p.m. Tickets are $5. It is not recommended for children under 10. PARANORMAL ACTIVITY
For those looking for a more sci-
entific explanation of the realm of the undead, the mill will also offer its annual Halloween ghost hunt in partnership with the Haunted Ottawa Paranormal Society. For the first time in many moons, Halloween has fallen on a Friday – a most auspicious day for a paranormal investigation at Watson’s Mill. Investigators from the paranormal society will visit the mill between 7 and 11 p.m. on Oct. 31 armed with special equipment to sense activity from the other side. Trueman said the last time Halloween fell on a Friday – in 2008 – the paranormal investigation proved more lucrative than usual.
“Let’s just say there was a lot of activity on that particular night,” he said. While the haunted house caters to those looking to get scared out of their wits, Trueman said the investigation is a serious affair. “People will get a chance to work alongside a well-educated group of paranormal investigators who have had years of experience behind them,” Trueman said. “They’ll get to see the equipment and see how it’s used and hopefully along the way pick up something we haven’t seen or heard before.” Tickets are $25 each. Call to reserve at 613-692-6455 or get them online.
