New and improved schools promised Findlay Creek school to include child care Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

The province is doling out $41 million to pay for the construction of two new elementary schools in Findlay Creek and Kanata and additions or retrofits to schools in the Riverside South, Hunt Club and Dunrobin communities.

The money will also

cover the cost of creating 78 licensed child-care spaces for toddlers and preschoolers.

Education Minister Liz Sandals announced the funding Oct. 23 at Holy Family Catholic elementary school in the Hunt Club community.

For a fourth year, Brian Thorn’s Dauphin Road home in the Elmvale Acres neighbourhood has sprouted ghouls, graves, goblins and even minions from its surrounding yard. The spooky spectacle is a labour of love for Thorn, who adds to the display every year, to the delight of neighbours and passers-by. Seen here with his son Riley, Thorn received 600 trick-ortreaters last Halloween, and is preparing for 800 this year. See more Halloween events coverage, page 18.

Two sex assaults on women may be linked: police Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

One man may be responsible for two near identical sexual assaults on young

women in less than 24 hours, prompting police to ask for the public’s help.

Investigators with the Ottawa police sexual assault and child abuse section sus-

lice spokesperson.

Connecting crimes can be based on similarity in clothing, words spoken by the suspect, items the suspect may have been carrying at

pect the attacks may be related for several reasons.

“In some incidents it’s going to be related to how it was done,” said Const.

the time, how he may have grabbed the victim and evidence left behind.

“Certain details are very similar, so they’re able to say there’s a possibility that this is the same suspect,” Benoit said, adding the timing and location of the assaults may also be a factor in making that link.

Police are now turning to the public for help in identifying the suspect to prevent possible future attacks.

“If it’s two separate incidents and he’s still at large – this is one of the reasons why they’re pushing it out to the public,” said Benoit.

In the first case, police said a young woman walking alone was approached from behind and sexually assaulted on Oct. 19 around 11 p.m. in the 100-block of Chesterton Drive in the Fisher Glen neighbourhood, not far from General Burns Park.

“The female victim screamed and the male suspect fled on foot,” police said in a statement.

Metroland Media’s Ottawa South News was well-represented during this year’s 20th annual celebrity pumpkin carving fundraiser which raised a total of more than $12,000 for Children at Risk Ottawa, a not-for-profit organization that supports children with autism. The decorated and carved pumpkins were displayed at area malls and featured in an online silent auction. Reporter Erin McCracken’s reporter pumpkin entry, which accompanied an Ottawa Senators game ticket package, was in the top 13 entries that generated the most funds.

Minister gives ultimatum to striking teachers, support staff Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Striking English public elementary teachers and some support staff have until Nov. 1 to negotiate a contract and end their partial strike or face sanctions, such as docked pay.

The measure, announced by Premier Kathleen Wynne and Education Minister Liz Sandals on Oct. 23, is designed to hasten negotiations and put an end to the work-to-rule actions.

“We honestly believe that they’re close enough, that given eight days, each one of them should be able to reach an agreement and resolve the issues. They’re not that far apart,” Sandals reiterated later that afternoon during a school funding announcement at Holy Family Catholic elementary school in Hunt Club.

Earlier that day, Sandals and

EDUCATION MINISTER LIZ SANDALS Wynne privately met with the heads of the Canadian Union of Public Employees Ontario (CUPE), the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario (ETFO) and the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation (OSSTF), whose teachers have already reached a deal, but whose support staff have not, as well as with the school board associations.

Both Wynne and Sandals encouraged the parties “to have another round of bargaining and try to resolve it,” Sandals said.

“But if by Nov. 1 the job action has not ended then we will give our consent to the school board associations giving fiveday notice to the various unions that they would be in a position to change terms and conditions,” she said. “And that could include change in pay because all the work isn’t done.”

Just how much pay would be docked and whether it would be retroactive are details that have not yet been worked out, Sandals said.

Sandals said negotiation meetings were scheduled with CUPE Ontario and OSSTF this week, and that the ETFO is willing to return to the table.

Despite this, the ETFO still planned to continue escalating strike action, including having

teachers withdraw from voluntary extracurricular activities, starting Oct. 28.

“The announcement of our escalation this week was meant to compel (the Ontario Public School Boards’ Association) and the government to return to the table to bargain in good faith. It is time that (the association) commits to negotiate a collective agreement that respects the needs of elementary teachers and students,” Sam Hammond, ETFO president, said in a statement. “Our work-to-rule actions will continue through the upcoming bargaining period.”

Its members have been without a contract since August 2014.

“I think what they’re saying is absent an agreement, we’re going to go ahead and escalate, and I’m very disappointed that they’re going to escalate into

not doing the extracurricular,” Sandals said.

Still, she expressed optimism the coming days would produce results, before punitive measures are enacted.

The measure is in response to support staff refusing to clean schools and not keeping school doors locked, as well as teachers being directed to not complete report cards. That was the case in June, and those progress reports scheduled to come out in November won’t be completed, Sandals said.

“When we understood that the direction from the union was not to do those report cards, we were quite concerned that parents would literally be going a year without a report card with comments and proper followup interviews with parents,” she said, adding two rounds of not producing report cards is “unacceptable.”

However, in the case of the ETFO, it said in a statement it “... has been careful to ensure that its work-to-rule strike action has had minimal impact on students.”

It maintains teachers continue to teach and that job action measures have largely been administrative.

Teachers are also providing information for the fall student progress reports, and are communicating with parents when there are concerns regarding students, the union said.

While Sandals acknowledged there are still “difficult issues to resolve,” they are not so difficult that a resolution can’t be found.

“We cannot let this situation go on where the schools are getting dirtier and where kids aren’t getting report cards and where teachers aren’t having interviews with parents,” she said.

CHEO-initiated research shines spotlight on pediatric liver disease Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

A CHEO-initiated study offers first-of-its kind details on pediatric liver disease.

The research team, which included CHEO and 13 pediatric academic centres across Canada, combed through 10 years’ worth of medical charts to understand symptoms associated with autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), incidence rate, patient outcomes and treatment options across the country.

The findings, published Oct. 19 in the Pediatrics journal, reveal that early diagnosis of the progressive inflammatory liver disease, which can be fatal if left untreated, is key.

Researchers also found it can take a considerable amount of time – up to five months – to make a diagnosis, and that symptoms, which can include fatigue, jaundice and abdominal pain, can worsen in the meantime.

“Before now, there was little data on incidence and prevalence of AIH in Canada, and even the worldwide literature is scarce,” Dr. Carolina Jimenez, lead researcher and author of the study and director of Liver Services Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Clinical Nutrition at CHEO, said in a statement.

“Liver disease is not just an adult problem,” said Jimenez, who is also an assistant professor at the University of Ottawa.

“Our hope is to equip family physicians and specialists alike with evidence-based data so they can start investigations and refer patients earlier; this way kids get treated faster and will have better outcomes.”

Researchers studied 159 children under the age of 18, which represents 2.3 new cases per million children and youth in Canada every year.

“This is a relatively rare disease in children and youth with an incidence of two to four per million, compared

to approximately 10 per million in adults,” Jimenez told Metroland Media in an email. “Therefore, clinical research is more often (sought) in adult populations.”

CHEO follows several patients with autoimmune hepatitis, and sees about three or four new cases a year.

The team also learned this type of liver disease is more prevalent in Newfoundland and Labrador and Nova Scotia with 5.8 and 5.2 cases per million, respectively, Jimenez said.

The progressive disease “... requires invasive testing such as a liver biopsy to make the diagnosis,” Jimenez said. “Children with cirrhosis may need admission to hospital due to complications and very few will need liver transplantation. However, if untreated, it can be fatal.”

The team of researchers also learned that one-quarter of diagnosed children have a strong family history of autoimmune diseases, such as autoimmune hepatitis, rheumatoid arthritis, thyroid disease, and inflammatory bowel disease, among others.

As well, up to 20 per cent of children have cirrhosis, or liver damage, at the time of diagnosis, due to the aggressive nature of the condition.

The review also revealed new tests, such as magnetic resonance imaging and blood work, that are used to diagnose the condition, and that different types and dosage of medicines are used across Canada “Standard therapy for AIH includes medications such as corticosteroids and immunosuppressants,” Jimenez said, adding these are available in centres across the country.

In the very few cases of end-stage liver disease, patients requiring liver transplants are referred to a liver transplant centre, she said.

However, the need for transplant was reduced for those patients who responded well to conventional treatments.

National research initiated by CHEO has shed new light on pediatric liver disease, which the team is hoping will translate into standardized care across Canada and earlier treatment for children and youth.

“Our paper underscores the importance of recognizing and treating this disease early,” said Dr. Fernando Alvarez, professor of pediatrics at Sainte-Justine Hospital, a mother and child health-care centre associated with the University of Montreal, which was also involved in the study.

“We can do more for this population of very sick children if we aim to standardize care across Canada,” he said in a statement.

“Access to this type of information is a step in the right direction.”

Education minister defends multimillion-dollar union payments Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Ontario’s education minister is justifying her controversial decision to pay three education unions $2.5 million without first asking for expense receipts, funds she said were to offset the costs of a lengthy contract negotiation process under a new system that took the better part of a year to iron out.

The Ontario Secondary Schools Teachers’ Federation and the English Catholic Teachers’ Association each received $1 million, while $500,000 was given to the French language teacher’s federation, known as the AEFO, to cover hotel and meeting room expenses at their request.

This year marks the first time the nine education unions have negotiated a collective agreement under Bill 122, the 2014 School Boards Collective Bargaining Act. “We’ve been at it for a year,” Liz Sandals told reporters during a stop in Ottawa on

Erin McCracken/Metroland

Flanked by Ottawa South MPP John Fraser, Education Minister Liz Sandals told reporters during a school funding announcement in Hunt Club on Oct. 23 that multimillion-dollar payments to unions were necessary to help cover their bargaining costs.

Oct. 23.

It’s a process that will “never ever reoccur,” she said, adding the first six months focused on establishing the two-tier system, with bargaining tables at both the local and central level.

“There’s never been a cen-

tral agreement before,” she said, adding every clause in each of the nine inaugural agreements has had to be negotiated.

“But what we recognize is that both the trustee associations and the unions have had extraordinary expenses

with implementing this first round of bargaining,” Sandals said. “These are expenses that won’t happen again in the future.”

Sandals disagreed that the payments were kept secret, instead saying the details in the collective agreements sim-

ply hadn’t been publicly disclosed.

“Because what I’ve said over and over again is that I’m not bargaining in the media,” she said.

“So it wasn’t that there was any great secrecy about it. It was just that we hadn’t released any of the details of the agreements.”

It doesn’t make sense from the viewpoint of management, or the province, to release the details of one contract before the others have been finalized, Sandals said.

The minister said the new legislation was required in the wake of the amalgamation of the school boards across the province, beginning in the mid-1990s, which resulted in the removal of their taxation rights.

In her then role as president of the Ontario Public School Boards’ Associations, Sandals told the government of the day that if it was going to take away those taxation rights, it needed to repair the “unworkable” bargaining system.

The boards were still the

employer, but the government had become the funding source.

When the Liberals came into power, the government created voluntary provincial discussion tables, during which “assistance” was provided to the trustee associations and the unions “to support them with the expenses of carrying on those provincial discussion tables,” Sandals said.

Those costs can’t compare to what the previous provincial government doled out after it restructured the education system.

As the amalgamation system was rolled out, Sandals said the Conservative government of the time set up a threeyear fully staffed and funded commission that travelled the province several times to oversee the overhaul.

“Trust me that cost tens of millions, if not hundreds of millions,” she said.

“This is peanuts compared to what the Tories paid to implement their part of it.”

Memory lane Forty-three years after graduating from Grade 8 at Holy Cross elementary school in Mooney’s Bay, former students reunited on Oct. 24 at Malone’s Lakeside Bar & Grill at Dow’s Lake. Some of those who gathered to share their childhood memories came from as far away as Toronto. Mooney’s Bay resident George Brown, back right, said a lot has changed in the neighbourhood where the school is located. In the ‘60s and ‘70s, the area was considered an outer suburb of Ottawa.

Connected to your community

Recognize our great young people

E

very community has young stars, and while they may not have achieved celebrity status, they deserve to be recognized for the feats that they have accomplished. These young stars, our future leaders, are none other than Ontario’s youth.

These young individuals who have worked hard to make their community a better place by volunteering for various organizations, making donations, saving lives and maintaining top grade averages. They can be found everywhere, in your homes, at school, on the field, and at church. If you know a young person who deserves praise for their actions and involvement in the community, nominate them today for the Ontario Junior Citizen Awards!

We look forward to providing recognition for such outstanding young people who continue to be shining examples of leaders in our community. The Ontario Junior Citizens Award program is co-ordinated by the Ontario Community Newspaper Association, of which this newspaper is a member. The program is sponsored by TD Bank Group and the Insurance Bureau of Canada.

Any resident of Ontario aged six to 17 by Nov. 30, is eligible to be chosen as a final recipient of this

award. Anyone can nominate someone as long as this young individual has excelled in one of these five areas: A person involved in worthwhile community service, a special young person contributing to their community while living with a physical or psychological limitation, an individual who has performed an act of heroism in the past year, excellence in achievement in fields such as the arts or athletics, good kids who show a commitment to make life better for others and do more than is normally expected of someone their age.

Up to 12 nominees will be chosen as recipients for the provincial award and will receive them at a special ceremony to be held in Toronto sometime in the spring of 2016. Any nominated young person will be personally presented with a certificate of recognition and showcase their contributions in this newspaper.

Nomination deadlines for the 2015 Ontario Junior Citizen Awards is Nov. 30. Nomination forms are available at www.ocna.org/juniorcitizen or by calling OCNA at 905-639-8720, ext 4438.

Make sure you aid in the growth of our community and pay tribute to our leaders of today and tomorrow by nominating someone today.

Time to get moving

A

s a new Canadian government prepares to take over in Canada, you might be thinking about how you can take advantage of the changes about to take place. Here’s an idea: get yourself quickly into the moving business.

At times during the election campaign you would hear it argued that elections don’t make that much difference in our day-to-day lives.

Despite seeming ideological differences, the argument goes, and despite real hatreds that develop between people of different political stripes, the business of life goes on no matter who is in office and nothing really changes all that much.

Whether or not you agree with that premise, there is one place where it doesn’t apply and you’re living in it. Never mind whatever

452 exits and entrances.

Those who enter the political sphere will have to be replaced in their current jobs. Those who leave it will find new jobs, often in Ottawa. Some of them will move into the communications and lobbying world. More changes there.

All of the defeated politicians will be gone, and along with them most of the people on their staffs.

New ones will be hired. Whatever jobs those people left will have to be filled.

And so it goes down the line. In the end, thousands of people will be affected in this city.

Because of our system, those in the public service will not be among them, at least not immediately. We don’t have the spoils system prevalent in some other countries, where a change in government means a wholesale change in the public service. But it’s possible that gradual changes may occur.

New policy directions will entail

promotions for certain bureaucrats, sideways shifts for others. New agencies will be established, others abolished, with resultant shifting of personnel.

To take only the most extreme example, think of the administrative apparatus needed to deal with the legalization of marijuana.

Policy changes might also affect the way the city looks. Those who thought they might be working on the big memorial to the victims of communism might find themselves working on the small memorial to the victims of communism, in a different location. Or they might be working on a portrait gallery instead, or something else.

Certainly, if promises are kept we will see a lot of construction jobs.

‘Parents have been waiting for this a long, long time’: trustee Continued from page 1

The school where Sandals made the announcement has been tapped to undergo an “extensive refurbishment.”

“Your school is actually going to get a face lift,” Sandals told several Holy Family students who gathered for the announcement, also attended by officials from the Ottawa English public and English Catholic school boards and Ottawa South MPP John Fraser.

The kindergarten to Grade 6 school currently serves 217 students. While the renovation details were not immediately available, nor was the construction timeline, the school will be taking in students relocating from Uplands Catholic elementary school, set to close at the end of the 2016-17 academic year.

The Department of Defence gave notice that it will not renew its lease with the public and Catholic school boards, meaning Elizabeth Park Public School, which is also at the former Uplands military base, will also be shuttered at the same time.

Those students, many of them residents of Findlay Creek, will be moved to the new Leitrim Elementary School, which is included in the recently announced funding envelope. Elizabeth Park teachers will relocate with the students, said Mark Fisher, public school trustee for the area.

“I think obviously parents have been waiting for this a long, long time – years, literally,” Fisher said. “And I think obviously with the news today they’re going to be really, really happy.”

The new school’s child-care

service will also be a welcome addition for Findlay Creek parents.

“I think that will go a long way to easing some of the pressures we see in that community around child care,” Fisher said.

“Whether we’re going to be able to break ground this fall will depend on a lot of things, like the weather.”

Shirley Seward, chair, Ottawa-Carleton District School Board

It’s hoped the year-long construction of the school, estimated to cost $11- to $13-million, will begin either this fall or in spring 2016.

“Whether we’re going to be able to break ground this fall will depend on a lot of things, like the weather,” said Shirley Seward, chair of the OttawaCarleton District School Board.

The new kindergarten to Grade 8 school, which will be constructed at the northwest corner of Findlay Creek and Kelly Farm drives, will have room for 674 pupils and two licensed child-care rooms with 39 spaces.

Also in the booming south Ottawa area, St. Francis Xavier Catholic High School in Riverside South will receive an addition with room for 436 students to address overcrowding and to replace 26 portables currently in use.

Just when the addition will be built was also not immediately known.

In the west end, north Kanata will see the construction of the new Marchwood Lakeside Catholic elementary school in a currently undeveloped subdivision off of Terry Fox Drive.

It will feature 507 spaces for students in kindergarten to Grade 6, and will ease the load currently carried by St. Gabriel Catholic elementary school.

That school, which opened just three years ago, currently has more than 700 students, said Sandra Moore, Catholic school board trustee for the area.

Construction of the new school, which Moore said will get underway in 2018, will feature two licensed child-care rooms with 39 spaces.

“We have a lot of kids out here so I’m glad we’re getting more schools for them,” said Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson. “We have very rapid growth in this area and a lot of young families moving in.”

DUNROBIN

And in Dunrobin, West Carleton Secondary School will receive a permanent addition for 252 students, which school trustee Lynn Scott said she hopes will be built by January 2017.

“It is exciting news for West Carleton because we’ve got a school that has an official capacity of 861 students, that actually, a year ago, had an enrollment of 1,165 students,” said Scott, who expects enrollment is up from that this year.

Once built, the addition will immediately be at capacity, which means not all of the school’s 17-plus portables will be removed.

“Unfortunately, that is very

often the case when we receive funding for new schools,” Scott said. “Funding always seems to run a bit behind the need.”

Wilkinson also applauded the addition.

“The only reason that school is overcrowded is because kids from my area go there,” she said.

PLAYING CATCH-UP

The funding is part of a $478million capital investment the province made this year for the construction of 30 new schools as well as renovations and additions to 26 more schools across the province, including the creation of 122 licensed child-care rooms, Sandals said.

“That’s part of over $13 billion that we’ve spent since 2003 to build 755 new schools and 720 major additions and renovations,” she said, adding this trend will continue over the next decade with an investment of more than $11 billion.

The recent Ottawa investment is part of about $85 million in capital grants the Ottawa public school board has received since 2011. Most of that goes to rapidly growing areas of the city, but also schools in more established neighbourhoods that “need pretty massive renovations,” said Seward.

While the recent announcement is welcome, the school board has several more projects that need attention – to the tune of about $500 million.

“That doesn’t include new schools that we need,” Seward said. “That is only for bringing up to speed all of our buildings.”

The board did welcome some extra dollars earlier this year to help it whittle down its list, which has been ballooning over the past decade and continues to grow as schools age.

“It’s very hard to catch up,” Seward said.

Likewise, Fisher said it’s challenging keeping pace with capital pressures given the growth that areas such as Barrhaven and Riverside South are experiencing.

“I think the investment you’re seeing in St. Francis Xavier is just another example of how we’re playing catch up with these growing communities,” he said. “We certainly need to have a different conversation around how we look at capital planning in investment in construction because we always seem to be behind the trend.”

The Trudeau honeymoon will come to an end

F

ollowing a gruelling 11-week election campaign, it may come as no surprise that a resounding win for the Liberals left many Canadians in a state of euphoria.

First, a clear majority for the Liberals means we don’t have to fear another election call six months down the road, which may have been the case in a minority government situation.

Second, the entire world has headlined news about Canada’s handsome new prime minister, which should lend itself to fodder for comedians and editorialists alike for the next six months.

As was the case in 2009, when U.S. President Barack Obama first took office, however, this is the honeymoon period.

Few in Ottawa can forget Obama’s visit to Ottawa within weeks of the inauguration, his spontaneous trip to the

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse ByWard Market to meet regular Canadians – embarrassingly, we still have Obama Cookies as a memorial to this celebrity event.

It was a nightmare for his security detail, but added to the post-election euphoria linked to a handsome, young leader, who also happened to be the first black president in America’s history.

As for Canada’s new prime minister-elect, he spent the morning after the election meeting and thanking voters in a Montreal Metro station.

The king of the selfie, Trudeau shook hands and posed for at

least half a dozen smartphone photos in the video footage I saw.

The following day, he was back at it on Parliament Hill.

He has vowed to live under less security than his predecessor to make himself more approachable and available to the people of Canada, which is both welcome and frightening.

On the whole, it’s all very lovely. I’ve been caught up in the viral shares of news headlines, photos and online quizzes. One of my favourites was “Trudeau vs. Zoolander,” where you have to guess whether our new prime minister or Ben

Stiller’s character gave voice to a particular quote. I achieved 70 per cent on my first round.

But what happens after the honeymoon? First, we’ll wait to see who Trudeau appoints to his cabinet on Nov. 4. He has promised a smaller cabinet than that of his predecessor, one where ministers have more autonomy from the PMO and one that is 50 per cent women.

The latter promise shouldn’t be hard to fulfill. There are a number of veteran female Liberals—Judy Sgro, Kirsty Duncan, Carolyn Bennett and Joyce Murray—any of whom could easily be established in cabinet.

There are also a number of newcomers, including Ottawa Centre’s Catherine McKenna, an international affairs lawyer, and the founder of the NGO Level, formerly known as Lawyers Without Borders.

Sharp as a tack and with international experience in southeast

Asia, McKenna is pegged as a favourite for Foreign Affairs, which would make her Canada’s third-ever woman in this portfolio.

Once the cabinet is established, then the real work begins. For those anticipating or dreading radical change, don’t hold your breath. These things take time.

Trudeau has promised to pull Canada out of the conflict against the Islamic State, but it’s my expectation that even that could take up to a year.

Whatever was promised in the campaign, the process of transition needs to go through the bureaucracy, both international and domestic. The same goes for legalization of marijuana, tax changes and international trade agreements. The new government will be bound and restricted by what the previous government has put in place.

Some things may take more than a four-year term to unravel

or reverse.

The most interesting thing from where I sit is the change of mood. Regardless of the inevitable gaffes and missteps that will take the shine off Trudeau in the coming weeks, the promise of more openness from the new governing party – including more media availability – is a welcome one for those of us in the world of journalism.

Will the government and the prime minister maintain that promise when they realize how sharply the media will scrutinize and hold them to account?

That remains to be seen.

Our collective honeymoon with Trudeau and his government will come to an end sooner or later. But that doesn’t mean we have to let go of our nostalgia for a young and handsome leader who promised change – because Moulin de Provence has Obama Cookies for everyone.

Police consider possible gang connection in Herongate stabbing Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Investigators are trying to determine if a stabbing in Herongate has a gang connection.

Just after midnight on Oct. 21 east patrol officers were called to the neighbourhood after a fight broke out between two men in the hallway of an apartment building in the 2000-block of Cedarwood Dr. When police arrived, they had to track down the men involved at a nearby location because “the fighting had moved on.”

Investigators would not disclose many details about the violence, including whether more than one man was stabbed, the extent of their injuries, the weapons used or if they had been seized by police. Police also did not reveal the motive for the fight and whether the suspects live in the apartment building where the stabbing took place.

“Regarding releasing (information on) the nature of the injuries, we’re keeping that (close) to the investigation for now … to protect the integrity,” said Const. Marc Soucy, Ottawa police spokesman.

He confirmed both men involved were arrested and then taken to hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.

Within the first 24 hours of the stabbing, he said it was too early to determine whether the violent altercation was gang-related.

“They’re still investigating that possibility,” he said.

Both suspects were still in hospital the afternoon after the fight and were “so far”

co-operating with police.

On Oct. 22, investigators announced the pair had been charged in connection with the violence.

Armed, disguised suspects target Heron Road furniture store Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

A wig-wearing suspect and his suspected partner-in-crime are on the radar of investigators who allege the pair robbed a Heron Road furniture store at gun point.

Now police are turning to the public for assistance in putting names to their faces.

It was around 8:40 p.m. on Sept. 30 when police said two suspects went into the store in the 1700-block of Heron Road and headed to the office where they demanded money.

Staff Sgt. Michael Haarbosch, head of the robbery unit, declined to say what kind of gun was used.

However, no one was injured in the incident.

The suspects fled the premises with an undisclosed amount of money.

Police are npt sure “… if they had a vehicle parked nearby or not,” said Haarbosch.

For that reason, he said his team can’t be sure in which direction the pair fled.

That particular store has been robbed three times in the past two years, Haarbosch confirmed.

So far this year, his unit has investigated 114 retail robberies, compared to 81 this time last year, representing a 40 per cent increase in such incidents.

The suspect who was wearing a blond wig is described as an English-speaking Caucasian male, about five-foot-eight, between 20 and 25 years old. In addition to the wig, police said the suspect was wearing a bandanna over his face, as well as white gloves, black jeans, and white shoes.

Despite the wig, police are confident the

suspect wasn’t trying to disguise himself as a woman.

“We’re satisfied that they’re both males,” Haarbosch said.

The second suspect is described as an English-speaking tanned Caucasian male, about five-foot-seven, and also 20 to 25 years old.

He was dressed in black with black skater shoes and gloves, and his face was covered, possibly with a bandanna.

“Our success rate is always much better when we have high-quality digital images and videos.”

Staff Sgt. Michael Haarbosch

Police acknowledged the images of the suspects captured on in-store surveillance cameras are not crystal clear, which can pose a challenge for investigators.

“Our success rate is always much better when we have high-quality digital images and videos,” Haarbosch said. “They took efforts to disguise themselves, too. So regardless of the quality of the video, that’s still there.

“It wouldn’t necessarily improve with better quality video in that respect, but we might get clearer shots of other things that we look at,” he said, declining to elaborate on what those othet things are.

Anyone with details about this crime is asked to call the robbery unit at 613-2361222, ext. 5116, or Crime Stoppers at 613233-8477.

Stock up on personal safety tips during Crime Prevention Week Staff

In addition to serving and protecting, Ottawa police will deliver tips and insight to help everyone from schoolchildren to seniors stay safe.

Personal safety is the theme of this year’s Crime Prevention Week, Nov. 1 to 7.

The event kicks off with a barbecue on Nov. 2, from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., in the main lobby at police headquarters, at 474 Elgin St. Proceeds from the barbecue will go to the United Way Ottawa.

“Officers and volunteers will be focusing on increasing public awareness and decreasing susceptibility to crime whether at home, in your vehicle, when using public transit, at your workplace and in public spaces,” Ottawa police Chief Charles Bordeleau said in a statement.

Police officers will be hosting several events across Ottawa to share their insight

on crime prevention, proactive policing measures and campaigns, and safety topics tailor-made for community housing tenants, commercial business employees, schoolchildren and Girl Guides and Brownies.

Information on fraud, scams and Internet safety will be presented to seniors, and high school students will have the chance to learn about driving and personal safety.

Information tables, community meetings and lectures will be held across the city in Billings Bridge, Herongate, South Keys, Kanata, Nepean, Carlingwood, Somerset West, Old Ottawa East, ByWard Market, Vanier, Strathcona Heights, Cyrville and Orléans.

The awareness week will also feature Crime Prevention Ottawa’s seventh annual Community Safety Awards on Nov. 2 at city hall.

The awards recognize and celebrate individuals, programs and groups that have made a difference in pre-

venting crime and bolstering the safety of communities in the city.

City to propose traffic solutions to curb Blossom Park traffic woes Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Blossom Park West residents fed up with traffic problems on their residential streets are one step closer to seeing permanent solutions put in place.

“In Blossom Park, west of Bank Street, there have been

concerns about high speeds of traffic flowing through there for a number of years,” said Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans, who repeatedly heard residents complain about speeding and cut-through traffic during her door-to-door election campaign last fall.

The community is home

Medical records worth more to thieves than credit card info Protec ng your health informa on is just as important as safeguarding your nancial data.

Personal Health Informa on includes informa on about your health status, health history, health card number, eligibility for health-care services, and any iden fying informa on about you.

Health informa on is appealing to thieves for a number of reasons, explains Theresa Sippert, Privacy Officer for the Champlain Community Care Access Centre (CCAC) , a home and community care provider.

Once thieves have your personal health informa on, they can do almost anything with it. Names, social insurance numbers, and dates of birth can be used to open up new credit accounts, le false tax returns, and more.

to two schools.

City staff will reveal three proposed traffic-calming measures to residents living in Blossom Park West on Oct. 29, an important next step that could lead to positive change and the implementation of permanent measures within the next year on Queensdale, Kingsdale and Rosebella avenues, between Bank Street and Albion Road.

While Deans didn’t yet know what the three recommendations entailed, she said “… the basket of traffic-calming measures that (staff) have to select from include things like flat-top speed humps, road narrowings, bulb-outs (or extended curbs), ‘no parking’ signs and other kinds of safety signage.”

The neighbourhood was placed on a list to receive an area traffic management study – a wait that can take upwards of 10 years given the expense and current demand.

“Of course, getting on the list never guarantees that you get the study because we don’t have enough money to do all the studies that we would like to do,” Deans said.

Blossom Park West was only on that list for about a year, and given its traffic “challenges” it moved quick-

City staff will soon unveil three proposed traffic-calming measures to residents living in Blossom Park West from a basket of options, such as speed humps. The results of an area traffic management study will be the focus of a public meeting on Oct. 29. ly to the top “because it has a significant issue out there,” she said. “It’s a speed issue.

It’s a convenient kind of cutthrough area. “And traffic is like water. It will follow the course of least resistance.”

Blossom Park East, where there are three schools, had a traffic study done a couple of years ago.

Once a community undergoes a study, there’s “a higher probability” measures are forthcoming, said Deans.

Those who attend the upcoming meeting will be able to review the options city staff developed. Residents were introduced to the study in June and had an opportunity to provide feedback on traffic issues and potential solutions.

Those who can’t take part, have until Nov. 15 to email comments to Eric Ouimet, the city’s co-ordinator of area traffic management, at eric.ouimet@ottawa.ca.

Crumbling McCarthy Road rock formations to get a ‘haircut’ Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

A rock formation that sandwiches McCarthy Road in Riverside Park is about to get a “haircut” to prevent rocks from coming loose and falling on the sidewalk and road.

For about two weeks, starting in early November, the east sidewalk and northbound lane of McCarthy Road will be closed during off-peak commute times, between 9:30 a.m. and 3 p.m., to allow work crews to go in with hand tools, such as picks, to scale back the wall.

Machinery, including a device known as a hoe-ram, will be used to break away larger pieces, said Carina Duclos, city manager of design and construction, adding the formations in the area are comprised of limestone and shale.

Workers will then focus on the rock wall on the west side of road. As a result, the southbound lane and sidewalk are expected to be closed for about two weeks.

The $230,000 project should be complete by the end of December, though River Coun. Riley Brockington is hopeful it can be wrapped up before the first big snow fall of the season.

“I’d like to see it dealt with sooner rather than later because of the weather. And if there’s a risk here I want it dealt with as soon as possible,” he said.

The project was prompted by safety concerns for both pedestrians and motorists.

“When I was campaigning last year (during the municipal election), there was yellow caution tape basically from that hydro pole to the guard rail (on the east side of McCarthy Road), and when I inquired further, (city staff) said, ‘Oh, the sidewalk is closed. We’ve had some rocks come down,’” Brockington recalled.

Given the proximity of the crumbling rock wall to the narrow sidewalk and roadway, the councillor said the caution tape didn’t effectively close the sidewalk and the

wall has posed a hazard.

“Look how easy this comes out,” he said picking at the crumbling rock.

“So this is a preventative measure where they’re basically going to give the rocks a haircut and take away any of the loose rocks.”

The west wall is the larger formation, measuring about 11 metres at its highest point, and is of greatest concern.

The wall on the opposite side of the road is about eight metres high in the centre.

“I would assume this side needs more attention. It seems closer to the road and the rocks are higher up,” Brockington said.

Officials at the nearby Fielding Drive Public School have been regularly updated on the scope and timeline of the project so they can inform parents of schoolchildren that their walking route will be a construction zone over the coming weeks.

“My preference is they don’t use McCarthy at all,” said Brockington.

Initially, the plan was to

Still, the councillor said he is pleased the city is proactively scaling back the rock face this year.

“And if they need to address this again in ‘x’ number of years from now, it will be,” he said.

South Keys Halloween Spooktacular changes date for bigger draw Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Looking to show off your Halloween costume as often as possible before the official night of trick-or-treating gets underway?

The South Keys Greenboro Community Association will host its third-annual Spooktacular Haunted House and Party on Friday, Oct. 30 – a day earlier than in previous years.

Last year, families were invited to drop by the celebration before, during or after Halloween trick-or-treating fun.

“But this year we decided to do something a little different,” said Barbara D’Amico, association president. “We still have the same Spooktacular Haunted House with ghoulish games and creepy but yummy treats, but this time it’s more like a party.

“The community members can stay as little – if they’re really scared – or as long as they want.”

The free event will feature

Above: Costumed children were the stars of the 2014 South Keys Halloween party. a pumpkin patch, which will serve as a backdrop for photos.

Two popular activities last year will be returning: cupcake decorating and pin the hat on the witch.

“We’ll have things like digging for creepy prizes in brains

and guts,” she added. “We will have a special witch’s brew to wash down the worms and the candy corn and all the other disgusting things that we have to eat – that’s actually going to be really yummy.

“We are getting into the spirit of this.”

Organizers have already made up more than 100 loot bags in anticipation of a larger crowd.

Last year, the event drew more than 60 children and their parents, up from 30 in 2013.

New this time around, the

treat bags will have City of Ottawa skate or swim coupons, in addition to sweet treats.

Several factors went into moving the date of the party.

For one, there are a number of other events that happen on Halloween, including an afternoon trick-or-treat event at the Greenboro Community Centre.

“We didn’t want to conflict with those, but at the same time we wanted to make Halloween longer,” said D’Amico, a self-described fan of Halloween – her second favourite time of the year after April Fool’s Day. “And I bet a lot of the parents are already going to be dressed up that day to go to work, so they’ll be ready for the party to take their kids when they get home from work,” said the mother of two who plans to dress this Halloween as a scary bat.

It has also become more difficult for volunteers to host the party and ensure their own children get to go trick-ortreating on Halloween night.

But by changing the date of

the haunted house, they get to do both, she said.

For parents wishing to know just how scary the festivities will be, D’Amico said it will be appropriate for children up to age 12.

“It’s going to be a lot more gross than scary,” she said.

While the games and activities will be geared for younger children, teenagers are encouraged to enjoy the event as well, and they are also welcome to lend a hand.

Those interested in helping the day of the Spooktacular Haunted House can email info@southkeysgreenboro. com and visit the association at facebook.com/ottawaskgca.

Non-perishable food donations will be accepted during the event in support of the Pavilion Food Bank.

THE DETAILS

The haunted house and party will be held Friday, Oct. 30, from 6 to 8 p.m., at the Greenboro Pavilion, located at 14 Tapiola Cres.

No happy ending yet in airport taxi labour dispute Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

As the taxi dispute stretches into its 12th week, the union representing the airport fleet of cab drivers is still hopeful for a happy ending.

“I am optimistic that we can find a resolution,” said Harry Ghadban, a Unifor union official representing the 275 drivers. “These disputes don’t go on indefinitely. I hope we can find one sooner rather than later.”

Though there have been no formal meetings between the two sides since a meeting on Aug. 31, Ghadban said Unifor’s national reps have

“You’ve got 250 people who have been sitting without income and they see somebody else coming up and taking the food that they eat right from under them.”

Harry Ghadban Unifor union official

been speaking behind the scenes with lawyers representing dispatch company Coventry Connections, which negotiated a new contract with the Ottawa International Airport Authority.

“It is absolutely incredible the amount of time that it’s taking,” Ghadban said.

The two main contested issues in the contract are a new $5 passenger fee rate, and the end to the airport fleet’s exclusive right to pick up airport fares.

When the two sides last met, Unifor said its drivers would pay $690 a month – double the $345 monthly

File

There is still no end in sight to the airport taxi dispute since drivers say there were locked out of the Ottawa International Airport on Aug. 11. Both the airport authority and the drivers’ union are still hopeful for a resolution. fee they were paying before the new contract came into effect on Aug. 11, the day the drivers say they were locked out.

“They said ‘no’ and we haven’t got a response or a formal written proposal from them,” Ghadban said.

The labour dispute quickly went south, with some drivers being criminally charged by police in connection with allegations of vandalized cabs.

“You’ve got 250 people who have been sitting without income and they see somebody else coming up and taking the food that they eat right from under them,” said Ghadban, adding that while frustrations have mounted, Unifor doesn’t condone illegal activity.

“But we also recognize that there’s got to be a solution where you can’t pit one driver against another or create turf wars, which is what Coventry and the airport seem to be aware would happen and just let it go on,” he said.

However, the airport authority remains just as hopeful that Coventry Connections and the drivers can come to an agreement.

“We strongly encourage Coventry and the union to talk because they are at the heart of solving this – not us.” said Krista Kealey, airport authority spokeswoman. “We really wish that they would find a resolution.”

In response to drivers protesting noisily at the airport and taking their protest to the Airport Parkway

– even blockading the parkway – the city and the airport authority successfully sought court injunctions to curtail what they said were unsafe and disruptive protest measures.

“It was very serious,” said Kealey.

Since then, Unifor has unsuccessfully contested the court rulings, which limit noise levels, restrict the protest area at the airport and cap the number of permitted protestors at the airport to 20, in hopes of expanding their rights.

“It’s making sure that the judge’s directives have been carried out according to his (previous rulings),” said Kealey. “He basically acknowledged that the airport was entirely right in all of the actions taken pursuant to his previous actions …, and

further, he severely chastised the union.

“It really confirms he understands the importance of safety and security at the airport and agrees that we can’t put it into jeopardy.”

The union has also filed a complaint with the Ontario Labour Relations Board alleging bad faith bargaining by the airport authority and Coventry, “… that there were some meetings that they put together and we weren’t consulted on what we would be willing to pay or wouldn’t pay,” Ghadban said. “And then they worked together to lock us out.”

Hearing dates have not yet been fixed, he said, adding that in the meantime, the authority has taken issue with the complaint since it falls under federal regulation rather than provincial.

“That is correct, but even stronger than that is we shouldn’t be party to a labour suit between the union and the employer because we’re not the employer,” Kealey said. “It’s not our negotiation.”

The drivers’ contract is with Coventry.

“It’s not a matter of us keeping the union out, it’s not our union. It’s not our employees,” she said, adding the authority’s procurement and contract practices are done “very transparently.”

Ghadban said that matter will be heard by the labour board at the end of November.

In the meantime, the airport fleet of drivers continues to picket and hand out flyers at the airport and maintain a presence along the parkway.

There are also plans to again picket Coventry’s headquarters in Overbrook.

“We’re trying to figure out how to best respond and keep the pressure on Coventry and the airport,” said Ghadban.

An interview request to Coventry Connections representatives could not be granted before press time.

Pop Expo ups the star power with Shatner visit Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

The former commander of the starship USS Enterprise is coming to Ottawa.

The attendance of Montreal-born actor William Shatner, best known for playing Capt. James T. Kirk in the Star Trek franchise, at the thirdannual Ottawa Pop Expo next month is a major coup for organizers.

“How did we score that? Through time and patience,” said Cliff Caporale, program director of Ottawa Pop Expo, a celebration of pop culture and science fiction and fantasythemed movies and TV shows at the EY Centre on Nov. 21 and 22.

“We weren’t planning for such a huge name for Pop Expo,” said Caporale. “It’s a smaller show so the budgets are different from Ottawa Comiccon, so we were like, ‘OK, let’s go for it.’”

The event has featured big-name stars before, including Norman Reedus from The Walking Dead and Tom Felton, who played Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter series.

In terms of name recognition worldwide, Shatner is the biggest star to appear at the Ottawa popular culture convention, which this year is expected to draw more than 8,000.

It was Shatner who first announced his Ottawa appearance via Twitter on Oct. 21.

“I think we got the contract, we

signed it and not even an hour or something (later) … boom. He announced it himself,” Caporale said with a laugh.

Organizers were initially hoping to book him for Ottawa Comiccon in May, a three-day event that attracts tens of thousands of fans.

“Next year is the 50th anniversary of Star Trek, the universe as a whole,” he said. “We saw that Mr. Shatner, or, as I like to say, Sir Shatner, is unfortunately unavailable during our Ottawa Comiccon weekend.”

But they were thrilled he could instead attend Pop Expo for a special Friday night appearance on Nov. 20, and during the first official day of the convention on Saturday, Nov. 21.

“We’re doing more than just a regular Q and A,” Caporale said, adding that Shatner is scheduled to speak for about an hour, beginning around 7 p.m.

“Shatner is such a natural comedian. He’s such a natural storyteller,” Caporale said of the actor, whose extensive credits also include Boston Legal. “He’s got so much to say. He can sit there for a long time and tell amazing stories that are well-timed and humourous.”

Organizers are hoping that during his talk he’ll touch on the upcoming Star Trek anniversary, even his friendship with close friend and former Star Trek co-star Leonard Nemoy, who passed away in Febru-

ary.

Special tickets for that evening go on sale Oct. 28. Attendees are not required to purchase Pop Expo tickets.

Prior to speaking, Shatner will be available for photos and autographs with those who purchase an all-inclusive package, estimated at $200.

General admission to hear him speak is estimated at $25 to $35.

Organizers were still ironing out details before press time.

The following day on Nov. 21, Shatner will be available for autographs and photos.

Caporale also hinted that Pop Expo organizers are currently in the process of finalizing some Star Trek-themed “entertainment” to complement the evening with Shatner.

In addition to Shatner, the starstudded Pop Expo lineup will feature guest appearances by actors Ray Park and Sam Witwer, both associated with the Darth Maul character from the Star Wars universe.

Garrett Wang, who channeled Ensign Kim on Star Trek: Voyager, Zoey Palmer from Lost Girl and Dark Matter, and Brett Dalton from Agents of S.H.I.E.LD. The event will also feature comic book artists as well as several vendors selling collectibles, movies and video games.

Pop Expo/Submitted For Pop Expo event details and Canadian actor William Shatner, best known for helming the USS Starship ticket pricing, go to ottawapopexpo. Enterprise as Capt. Kirk in the ‘Star Trek’ franchise, will be coming to Otca. tawa Pop Expo at the EY Centre on Nov. 20 and 21.

PC Users group to hold one-stop-shop event in Old Ottawa South Have a question about your computer? The Ottawa PC Users’ Group probably has an answer.

The non-profit group of computer savvy members is set to hold a comprehensive workshop in Old Ottawa South to teach PC users about their systems.

The session will include five presentations that will cover a wide range of topics, including virus protection, upgrading to Windows 10, backup strategies, office application software and photo editing.

“We have a real passion for this sort of stuff. We get really excited about technology.”

Jeff Dubois

The group used to hold scattered workshops across the city, but the new day-long session will give people a chance to get a lot of different information in one place, said Jeff Dubois, of the PC Users’ Group.

“A lot of times what happens is we’ll do presentations at different branches all around the city,” he said.

“We’ve combined it into a one-day workshop so that people can learn everything in a one-stop shop.”

Many of the group’s previous workshops have been on one topic, but this session will be more encompassing, Dubois said.

The workshop is geared towards

Accessibility Plan Survey The City of Ottawa is updating its multi-year Accessibility Plan and I encourage residents to provide their input by completing a survey that is available on the City’s website at ottawa.ca. The multi-year Accessibility Plan was created in 2012, and in early 2016 it will be updated and renewed. The City is committed to providing equal access to services, programs, goods and facilities for residents, visitors and employees with disabilities.

TH

D R WO

Residents have until November 27th 2015 to complete this survey and share their innovative ideas on how City programs, services and infrastructure can be made more accessible and responsive to diverse communities. Once you have completed the survey, please share the link with family, colleagues and associates who might also like to contribute their ideas. If you would like more information on the City’s Accessibility Plan, or if you have difficulties accessing this survey, please visit ottawa.ca or call 3-1-1.

Temporary Traffic Calming Measures Program

NEW

!

with our FREE COMMUNITY CALENDAR

ottawa

Traffic safety is an utmost importance for me and is a concern that I often hear from residents. Through the City’s Strategic Initiative process, the Temporary Traffic Calming Measures Program was created to assist in addressing community concerns more effectively. Through this program, a compilation of temporary and seasonal traffic calming solutions has become more readily available to communities to help reduce roadway speeds, particularly on local roads.

Some of these measures include seasonal flex-stakes, pole mounted speed display boards, traffic calming signage, and pavement markings. I recognize that these measures are not permanent solutions, but all have proven to be effective in reducing roadway speeds. Through comments received from residents, I have already begun to take advantage of this program and have purchased four speed radar boards for Gloucester Southgate ward. Two of the boards will be permanently installed on Hunt Club Road (Cahill Drive) and River Road (Balmoral Drive). The third board is semipermanent (3 months) and will be in installed on Bank Street (Kemp Park). Lastly, the fourth board will be deployed across the ward and moved every 2-3 weeks. If you would like to request that the speed radar board be deployed in your neighbourhood, please contact my office at diane.deans@ottawa.ca or call 613-580-2480.

beginners who are looking to learn more about their machines. It costs $45 to attend, and includes a light lunch, coffee breaks and a complimentary one-year membership to the Ottawa PC Users’ Group.

The organization was founded in 1992 and currently has about 110 members who try to help troubleshoot each other’s computer problems ­– living by the group’s motto: “Users helping users.”

“We have a real passion for this sort of stuff,” Dubois said. “We get really excited about technology.

“We don’t have those plastic pocket protectors for our pens. We don’t have band aids on our glasses. We’re not that far gone, but we’re close.”

The group used to hold its monthly meetings at the Science and Technology Museum, until it recently closed.

The computer enthusiasts now hold monthly meetings at the Aviation and Space Museum.

The one-day workshop will be held Nov. 7 at the Sunnyside branch of the Ottawa Public Library, at 1049 Bank St., a location that Dubois said was an attractive option for the group because it is easily accessible by public transportation.

“We opted to go with the branch because it’s centrally located and it’s right on Bank Street,” he said. “It’s fully accessible, there’s parking and you can get there via bus. We also have Internet access there. It met all our criteria.”

Those who wish to sign up for the workshop must register online by Nov. 5.

Fall memories made with a few pennies and marshmallows

H

ad I not gone to Briscoe’s General Store that day with Mother ... a Saturday it was...we would not have had that wonderful fall evening out on the farm in Northcote.

It all started when Mother was just about finished with gathering up the few things she needed and asking Mr. Briscoe to just put them on her bill. I had three of those very large brown pennies in my pocket, and I was looking over the choices in the candy counter.

But when I heard Mother ask Mr. Briscoe to add her purchases to her bill, I was overcome with a feeling of deep sadness. And so I reached into my pocket and took out the coins and handed them to Mr. Briscoe and asked him to please take them off Mother’s bill.

He looked at the coins in his hand, and looked at Mother, who I thought was about to break into tears. “I’ll tell you what I’ll do,” he said. “I’ll take

MARY COOK Memories three cents off your mother’s bill, and in exchange I’ll give you this bag of marshmallows.”

We had never had marshmallows on the farm. After all, they would be considered sheer luxury!

I looked at Mother for approval, and she nodded. I ran to the buggy as fast as my legs could carry me, and had to talk myself out of diving into the brown paper bag to eat a few on my way back to the farm.

It was a beautiful fall day, and when we pulled into the yard, and Everett came to unhitch Queenie off the buggy, Mother and I had to wade

through the mounds of leaves fallen off the big maple tree to get to the back door. It was then Mother said she had this wonderful idea, and it would be something the whole family could enjoy, and she grabbed the bag of marshmallows out of my hand and plunked it on top of the ice box.

“We’ll all rake leaves today, and tonight, we’ll have a bonfire and we’ll roast the marshmallows.” Well, sharing my treat with everyone else certainly wasn’t in my plans, but the thought of a bonfire thrilled me no end!

And so for the entire

afternoon, using every rake we could find, including two Father used to rake out the manure in the barns, we five children and Mother, and even Father, mounded the fallen leaves into a crimson mountain, well away from the house. Father made sure it was close to the watering trough too ...“Just in case,” he said.

Evening chores, supper, and redding up the kitchen, were all done in jig time, and blocks of wood taken out of the summer kitchen were put around the heaped leaves.

The sky was black. Night had closed in around us, and the nip of fall was in the air.

Father had found long pieces of twigs, and with his jackknife, put points on each end.

It was like Christmas Eve to me, sitting on a block of wood, with a quilt wrapped around my legs, and Mother said since I was given the marshmallows, I should be the one to hold the bag. Father circled the pile, and every few

feet he lit a match and touched the leaves with its flame.

Soon, the fire had caught, and the mound became a mass of burning leaves.

My sister Audrey, Mother and I had skewered a marshmallow onto our sticks, but my three brothers chose to use the three-pronged forks they used to catch mudpout in the Bonnecherre.

I could see everyone’s face in the light of the fire, and I was overcome with such a feeling of happiness that I thought I just might explode. The marshmallows turned black on the outside, and the insides were just as I expected them to be: scorching hot and sweet like honey.

Long after the brown paper bag was empty, we sat around the fire. The boys stretched out on the grass with their feet towards the burning leaves.

Father with his back against the water trough, had lit his pipe, and I could see the red from its bowl, and a wisp of

smoke from the tobacco he had tamped into it.

We sat long after the fire had died down to just smoldering ashes. But no one moved to go into the house. The brothers talked about things boys talked about back then, and Audrey and Mother sang familiar songs.

I rested my head on my sister’s shoulder, and she put an arm around me, as she so often did. I looked up at the dark sky, and saw the warm glow of the coal oil lamp in the window in the kitchen, and the warmest feeling came over me.

And I marveled at what simple joy and contentment you could get out of only three big pennies.

Mayor to lead economic development trip to China and Thailand Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

Mayor Jim Watson will lead delegations to China and Thailand in November, he announced on Oct. 21, flanked by the ambassadors of both countries.

Watson will be part of the Ottawa Tourism delegation in Bangkok from Nov. 20 to 22 for the OneYoungWorld Summit, which Ottawa will host in 2016.

Watson said it made sense to schedule the trip to China, where he will be with Invest Ottawa and business leaders at the same time while he was already in that part of the world.

He will be in China prior to Bangkok, and spend his time in Beijing. He’ll speak at an investment and innovation seminar hosted by Invest Ottawa and partners while there.

There will also be 15 local business leaders who will travel to China as a part of the Ottawa delegation.

“We have to continue to grow the economy, the economy doesn’t grow on its own,” Watson said. “We have to get out there and market, like every other international city around the world.

BRIER DODGE/METROLAND

Watson showed them the dragon head from his office that would go on the front of a dragon boat, prior to the announcement he will travel to China and Thailand with delegations in November.

“We are a city that really has to go out and expand its private sector footprint, because we’ve seen over the last several years a shrinkage of

the federal government.”

Beijing is Ottawa’s only sister city, and the Chinese government purchased the large sign in Chinatown

on Somerset Street West as a gift to the City of Ottawa.

During the trip, Watson and delegates will also meet with Beijing

municipal government representatives, China’s Ministry of Culture and the Canadian ambassador. It is expected that the meetings will focus on investment opportunities, cultural exchanges and ways to recognize the 150th anniversary of Canada in 2017.

Watson last travelled to Beijing in 2013 with a business delegation.

Over the past two years, Invest Ottawa has organized 10 trips to China and received approximately 30 incoming Chinese delegations.

The mayor’s travel and accommodations are being paid for by the Invest Ottawa and Ottawa Tourism budgets, though the city ultimately funds Invest Ottawa and has contributed towards Ottawa Tourism’s budget.

The total cost of his trip is yet to be determined, and Watson said that while there will always be people who oppose city spending on any travel, it’s worthwhile. No city councillors will join him on the trip.

“There will always be people who don’t want me to travel to Stittsville because it’s too expensive,” Watson said. “But at the end of the day, these are good investments that bring back millions of dollars in economic activity and create more jobs.”

‘Sunny ways’ for Trudeau in Ottawa Prime minister-designate returns to capital after marathon campaign Alex Robinson alex.robinson@metroland.com

ALEX ROBINSON/METROLAND

Prime Minister-designate Justin Trudeau celebrates with Liberal supporters at the Westin Hotel in downtown Ottawa on Oct. 20, the day after his party won a resounding federal election victory.

Even though the marathon 11-week election campaign is ďŹ nally over, Justin Trudeau is still going.

After getting up early to greet subway commuters in Montreal, Canada’s next prime minister held a packed rally for supporters at the

Westin Hotel in downtown Ottawa to relish his party’s victory and to thank volunteers the day after the election. “My friends, this afternoon we can celebrate that our hard work is only beginning,� he said.

Liberals throw a party with Trudeau day after election Continued from page 30

Trudeau’s words were music to the ears of a screaming crowd of hundreds of party supporters, which included newly elected Liberal MPs from the Ottawa area.

“Our goal all along was not just to give Canadians a different government, but an effective one.”

Trudeau’s Liberals scored a resounding victory, winning 184 seats to form the next majority government.

In Ottawa, the Liberals scooped up every seat with the exception of Carleton, which was won by Conservative Pierre Poilievre, a lone Tory

in a sea of red.

Even NDP incumbent Paul Dewar, who was considered a lock to be re-elected in Ottawa Centre, lost his seat to Liberal candidate Catherine McKenna.

At his first rally the day after election day, Trudeau continued to pitch his campaign themes of change and optimism, saying his government will listen to scientists and respect public servants.

He also took the opportunity to say again that his government would elevate the country’s standing in the world.

“I want to say this to this country’s friends all around the world. Many of you have

worried that Canada has lost its compassionate and constructive voice in the world over the last 10 years,” Trudeau said.

“Well I have a simple message for you: On behalf of 35 million Canadians, we’re back.”

An army of 80,000 Liberal volunteers spread out across the country during the campaign making more than 12 million door knocks and phone calls, pushing Canadians to get out and vote for their party.

The Liberals only garnered a bit less than 2.7 million votes and 19 per cent of the popular vote in the 2011 elec-

tion, translating into just 34 seats. This election, they won 6.9 million votes.

“He said to me, the way you feel right now, cherish it, because it’s all downhill from here.

I disagree, because in Canada better is always possible.”

Justin Trudeau

No other party has ever re-

bounded from third place to form a majority government in one election cycle.

“Think about how you feel today. Think about this, because there will be great days in the future. There will be tough days in the future, but let us remember together what we accomplished here,” Trudeau said.

“This feeling we have right now, this optimism for the future, this sense that everything is possible, we’re going to have work very very hard to live up to this feeling we feel right now, but I tell you if there is any country in the world that can live up to our collective expectations, it’s

this one.”

Trudeau said he spoke to a certain nameless world leader earlier that morning who had told him to enjoy the feeling of euphoria after his victory while it lasts.

“I choose to actually hope that one of the pieces of advice that one of the world leaders I spoke to this morning who had heard it from another world leader when he first got elected, doesn’t hold,” Trudeau said to laughs.

“He said to me, the way you feel right now, cherish it, because it’s all downhill from here. I disagree, because in Canada better is always possible.”

It’s been a year since Cpl. Nathan Cirillo was murdered, but Canada continues to grieve.

Hundreds gathered at the National War Memorial Thursday to honour the sentry, who was gunned down as he stood guard at the monument on the morning of Oct. 22, 2014. The ceremony also remembered Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent, who died two days earlier after he was targeted and hit by a car because he was wearing a military uniform in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Que. Their duty was to defend us and to bravely stand on guard for our country, Governor General David Johnston said at the ceremony, which was attended by the families of Cirillo and Vincent.

“Ours is to remember their sacrifice and remember why they served.”

Claudio Pagani, left, president of Ottawa’s Italian Week, joined Angelo Filoso, president of the Italian Canadian Community Centre, and Italian ambassador Gian Lorenzo Cornado in unveiling a memorial plaque in memory of Corporal Nathan Cirillo in the Piazza Dante on Oct. 25, across from St. Anthony’s Church on Booth Street. The plaque will recognize Cirillo’s sacrifice, while the surroundings mark his Italian heritage. Donations to Italian Week and proceeds from its activities have been donated to Cirillo’s young son.

Ceremonies honour Cpl. Cirillo Continued from page 34

Cirillo was reportedly shot at point-blank range by Michael Zehaf-Bibeau, who then stormed Parliament Hill, where he was later shot and killed.

The shooting sent the capital into a frenzied lock down for most of the day, as police tried to determine if Zehaf-Bibeau had acted alone.

The events of those days shook the nation in a way that some say changed Canada forever, but Johnston disagrees.

“Last October, many people said Canada would never by the same, but I don’t think Canada changed forever,” he said.

“Canadians are caring and courageous people. This is

who we are and that will not change.”

Johnston recalled the heroism of those who leapt into action in the face of danger and the first responders who came to Cirillo’s aid on that day.

“Such moments arise rarely in a nation’s history and how we respond tells us what kind of people we are,” Johnston said.

“We owe an enormous debt to everyone who pulled together one year ago with such bravery, humanity and resolve.

And so, here we stand and here we shall remain.”

A 21-gun salute filled the air as members of the military and RCMP stood in silence.

Elected officials, dignitaries, as well as family and friends

of Cirillo and Vincent watched as CF-18 Hornets conducted a “missing man” flyby – a formation typically done in memory of a fallen pilot.

Outgoing Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Prime Minister-designate Justin Trudeau laid a wreath together for the two fallen men.

“Today, on this solemn anniversary, I join Canadians from coast to coast to coast in committing that we shall continue moving forward, together,” Trudeau said in a statement.

This summer, the Department of National Defence contracted the Ottawa police to protect the sentries in the hope that the tragedy that befell Cirillo will never happen again.

Giant bugs on display at Museum of Nature Exhibition runs Oct. 23 to March 27 Alex Robinson

alex.robinson@metroland.com

Giant bugs are taking over the Canadian Museum of Nature – giant bugs made of plastic that is.

The larger-than-life replicas are part of a new traveling exhibition – Bugs: Outside the Box – which opens Oct. 23 and invites the young and curious to come face-toface with insect specimens.

“It is going to force us all to get up and close and personal with the world of insects, both large and small,” said Meg Beckel, the museum’s CEO. The exhibition is anchored by 16 sculptures, which were created by Italian artist Lorenzo Possenti. The artist creates his incredibly detailed replicas by studying real specimens, building

moulds for each part and filling them with a liquid resin that hardens.

“What I think makes it special is insects are so small and this brings them up to a size that we can see them with a naked eye,” said Robert Anderson, a research scientist with the museum.

“So with these big sculptures, you can actually look at details of how insects are put together and see it pretty clearly without the aid of a microscope or anything like that.”

The exhibition also displays more than 2,000 species of the museum’s collection of scientific specimens and six live species in terrariums.

Monarch butterflies, Hercules beetles, giant stick insects and spiny jungle nymphs will be among the live insects flying and crawling around tanks in the exhibit, which continues until March 27, 2016.

The exhibit will also in-

clude interactive activities and programs for kids in a play area, where they can “roll like a dung beetle, hope like a grasshopper, don a bug eye mask, and be a beetle ‘heavy weight lifter.’”

There will even be some edible bugs to taste for the more adventurous crowd.

More than 70 per cent of all animal species in the world are insects, making it all the more important we get to know them, said Anderson.

“I’m hoping people will take away as a message that insects aren’t all bad, gushy, smushy little things you should be afraid of,” he said.

“They’re beautiful in their own way. They do lots of wonderful things in the environment we really can’t do without.”

Tickets for the exhibition cost a surcharge of $4 in addition to the regular general admission fee at the museum. For more information, visit nature.ca.

Young soccer stars face world’s best at Danone Nations Cup mdelaire@metroland.com

Ottawa’s Luka Vujicic landed in Morocco on Oct. 20 for an event nearly six months in the making.

Luka, 12, along with Kanata resident Keera Melenhorst and 10 other players from Ontario, Quebec and British Columbia travelled to Marrakech, Morocco this month to represent Canada in the 16th Danone Nations Cup International Final from Oct. 23 to 25.

In all, 32 countries took part in this year’s international finals, where Team Canada was scheduled to take on Romania, Indonesia and China to decide which team from that group would go on to semifinals.

“Canada is very proud to be one of the eight seeded teams this year and looks forward to our group matches,” said Team Canada head coach Dean Howie.

“Both Indonesia and China have done well in the last tournaments and are serious threats to challenge for the title.”

Team Canada brings together some of the country’s most talented U12 soccer players, selected at the Danone Nations Cup Canadian national final played between eastern and western Canada teams in June.

Luka – a U12 goalkeeper with the Ottawa South United Soccer Association – was recruited to the eastern Canada team by Danone Nations Cup coaches at the Ontario selection camp in Toronto in May. After defeating the western Canada team to become Team Canada, the group underwent an intense training session with Montreal’s Impact Academy – a professional soccer team – in August to prepare for the international final in Morocco.

Howie said the team’s performance during a final four-day training camp days prior to leaving for Morocco had him feeling optimistic.

“We are very confident heading into the Danone Nations Cup in Morocco,” coach Howie said in

Whether it’s studies on heart disease, stroke, immunity, allergies, depression, or anxiety, there is an common finding showing up in more and more medical research these days: It helps to have a pet. You don’t have to look hard to find a new report on the positive impacts of pets on our physical and mental health. Indeed, caring for a pet has been linked to everything from physical health to happiness to longevity. The rationale, though, is simpler than you may think. Properly caring for a pet provides us with three key components of a long and healthy life: exercise, purpose, and companionship.

We all know it: Exercise every day keeps the doctor away. Whether it’s taking Fido for a hike or batting cat nip toys back and forth on the floor with Fluffy, pets get us off the couch and moving, without having to pack a bag for the gym or subscribe to the newest costly at-home fitness program. Our commitment to caring for our pet’s physical needs doubles as caring for our own.

Caring for a pet also provides a sense of purpose and a structure to our daily routine.

The thought of heading to work may not make you want to get out of bed in the morning, but knowing a furry companion is

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

waiting for you to start her day with – to feed, walk, play with and snuggle before you launch into other responsibilities – may be just what it takes to motivate you to start your day. Caring for a pet has been proven to result in adults – including the elderly – caring better for themselves on a daily basis.

And, pets can be the perfect cure for loneliness – in more ways than one. Pets provide us with their unmatched unconditional love and loyalty; they become our someone to wake up with, come home to, and talk to every day. However, owning a pet can also be the best way to boost our social interaction with people. Pets are great conversation starters and easy ice breakers: taking your pet to the park or to obedience classes can be a great way to meet people and make new friends … or more!

So, whether you’re looking to get fit, prevent health problems in the future, or simply find a date for Saturday, you may not need to look any further than the loyal furball curled up at your feet. Or, if you don’t have a pet at home, maybe it’s time to skip the pharmacy and head to your local humane society – your perfect match (and cure) may be waiting for you.

PET OF THE WEEK

Ben

Ben is an 8 month old border collie who enjoys his daily hike at Conroy Pit, and his weekly agility lessons. Ben was named by his breeder because he was the first born and the biggest of the litter of 7, “Big Ben”. Ben is friendly, and loves to engage other willing dogs in a game of chase. He tries to be mommy’s little helper in the garden, by grabbing the nozzle of the garden hose, and burying it in his freshly dug hole. He has a wonderful grin that has us all love him.
