In third place was Mike Patton, who earned 1,427 votes, representing almost 13 per cent of the vote. Barbara Carroll claimed fourth place with 1,270 votes. See HE, page 10

News - A traffic stop turned violent at Bank Street and Heron Road over the weekend after a suspect resisted arrest and punched an Ottawa police officer in the face, prompting a uniformed OPP officer in the area to fire a single shot during the altercation. The 39-year-old driver of the vehicle stopped by two male Ottawa police officers for an undisclosed Highway Traffic Act violation is now facing several criminal charges after he was pulled over on Oct. 25 at 3:29 p.m. “During the stop, the individual who had been pulled over became combative and assaulted one of the officers as attempts were made to subdue him,” Ottawa police said in a statement.

Watson coasts to victory with historic mandate Brian Craddock and Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Jim Watson swept back into the mayor’s seat with an unprecedented mandate from voters in support of his plan for extending light rail. Six months of serious campaigning paid off yet again for Watson, as he was re-elected with the 76 per cent of the popular vote – the highest vote share in electoral history for the amalgamated City of Ottawa. That’s up from Watson’s 48 per cent vote share in the 2010 election, when he defeated former mayor Larry O’Brien. Loud music and the cheers of dozens of supporters and staff chanting “Four more years!” filled the Ottawa Hellenic Centre as Watson walked up to the stage to make his victory speech, all the while taking the time to thank each and every supporter who made their way up to him. In his speech, Watson thanked his most important supporters who worked on his campaign and made a point of referencing the main part of his platform: expanding LRT. “The strong mandate will allow us to build on our shared vision for the city ... an inclusive city, a green city, an affordable city, and a city that takes

care of its most vulnerable,” he said. Speaking to reporters after his win, Watson reflected on how he ran his campaign and how even though he knew he was the frontrunner, he put in as much effort as he would have if he had a serious challenger. “I ran an all-out campaign because I didn’t want to rely on public support. That notion that ‘Oh, you’re the frontrunner, and you’re going to win this.’ I worked very hard, and my team did a remarkable job, and I’m very proud of that,” he said. With eight candidates, the most stand-out challenger, Mike Maguire, only garnered 18.6 per cent of the vote – still, an improvement on Maguire’s 2.5 per cent vote share when he ran for mayor in 2010. That election took place after O’Brien’s leadership left the city bruised by a fractured city council, major transit strike and a trail over whether O’Brien bribed a rival candidate in the 2006 election (he was found not guilty). Watson came into power in 2010 with a mandate to repair city council’s working relationship. He set out a plan for the next four years that included proactive measures to address transparency and accountability at

Re-elected Mayor Jim Watson arrives to the raucous greeting of his supporters after being re-elected Oct. 27. city hall. It was Watson’s second term as mayor of Ottawa – he was first elected in the old city as a councillor for the Glebe and later, mayor in 1997 with 82 per cent of the popular vote. After amalgamation, Watson worked as president and chief executive of the Canadian Tourism Commission before jumping back into politics. First, he was elected as the MPP for Ottawa West-Nepean in 2003 and served as the minister of health promotion and later, minister of municipal affairs.

Starting in 2010, his first term as mayor of the amalgamated city saw him preside over a number of big issues and plans, including the transportation master plan that set out a strategy for expanding light rail; the city’s Official Plan, which held the urban boundary back from expansion; and a debate over where to expand gambling in Ottawa. That last issue initially saw Watson come under fire for his view that a casino should be in the urban core. He eventually supported a plan to limit the amount and location of ad-

ditional gambling to gaming tables at the Rideau Carleton Raceway. Another issue that has lingered with voters is the city’s reduction in garbage pick-up, which was changed to biweekly service in 2012 in hopes of encouraging people to recycle organic waste in green bins, which are emptied weekly. The move was said to save around $10 million, but the clawback of a core service hasn’t say well with many voters and grew to become an election issue during the campaign. A coalition of council candidates campaigned on a joint platform mainly focused on reinstating weekly garbage pickup and Watson’s biggest competitor, Maguire, picked up on the trash discontent by advocating for garbage incineration. But Watson ensured the major election issue facing voters was his $2.5-billion plan for Stage 2 of light rail, to extend the downtown rail system the city is currently building out to Orléans, Bayshore and Leitrim by 2023. Watson styled the election as sort of a referendum for light rail and campaigned on a platform of moving foward with light rail instead of “hitting the reset button” again. Maguire wanted to scrap Watson’s LRT plan, which council voted last year to put into the city’s long-term transportation plan, and instead convert existing rail lines through the city into lower-capacity commuter rail routes at a lower cost.

Cloutier coasts to victory in Alta Vista Ward Retiring Coun. Peter Hume’s endorsement helped councillor-elect: competitor Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - It was an election 10 years in the making for Jean Cloutier, but he’s now the councillor-elect for Alta Vista Ward. On the strength of an immediate endorsement from the outgoing councillor, Peter Hume, Cloutier coasted to victory on Oct. 27 with 47 per cent of the vote. Clinton Cowan garnered 29 per cent in his second bid for the councillor’s seat in Ward 18, but it wasn’t enough. Cloutier, president of the Canterbury Community Association and an accountant for Tubman Funeral Homes, has long told Hume that he’d run for the seat if Hume stepped down. Cloutier registered for the election shortly after Hume announced on Aug. 22 that he wanted a better work-life balance and would not be seeking re-election after 23

years representing the area. Cowan said he was very proud of the positivity he put forward in the campaign and wished Cloutier well. “He has a big job ahead of him. Expectations from our next city councillor are very high here in our community. Many parts of our community have been overlooked and underserved for years,” he said, adding that uniting Alta Vista’s neighbourhoods will be a big task for Cloutier. Overcoming Hume’s endorsement of Cloutier proved to be a big challenge, Cowan said. “Many people say this campaign was not a contest between Clinton Cowan and Jean Cloutier. That it was really against the ghost of Peter Hume, and that endorsement is perhaps what some might say kept Alta Vista away from what our campaign offered,” Cowan said. Traffic is the number-one issue people in Alta Vista told him they want him to tackle, Cloutier said.

tracking the planned O-Train extension to Bowesville. Giving the residents of Riverside South an alternative to taking their cars to work will ease traffic headaches in Alta Vista, he said. “The problem is in our ward, but the solution is outside our ward,” he said.

He plans to carry on with Hume’s safe streets program that he began in 2012, using his office budget to pay for small traffic calming measures like speed display signs. “It’s efficient, immediate and effective,” Cloutier said. “It’s shown to immediately slow it down.” Cloutier is also committed to fast-

The city already has that project on the books to be done in 2023, but Cloutier said he’d work to advance it through “consultation and collaboration” with both community members and his fellow councillors. Another major transportation project in the ward is the Alta Vista transportation corridor, a new road the city planned to build in phases to connect the Ottawa Hospital campus to Riverside Drive and eventually over the Rideau River through Old Ottawa East to Highway 417. Cloutier has long been in favour of that entire project as president of the Canterbury Community Association. Despite strong opposition to the project in other communities, particularly Old Ottawa East and Riverview Park, Cloutier said it’s necessary in order to ease cut-through traffic on Alta Vista’s residential streets. The next phase of the project was not included in the transportation master plan list of road works the city plans to do before 2031, but Cloutier said it will have to be considered. However, he didn’t indicate he would push to advance the project. “It has to be slotted into the overall budget considerations,” he said.

Qaqish runs away with Gloucester-South Nepean Seven new faces vied for Desroches’ seat Nevil Hunt

nevil.hunt@metroland.com

News - What appeared to be a council race toss-up – with seven newcomers and no incumbent on the ballot – turned into a rout in Gloucester-South Nepean Ward. Michael Qaqish, a former executive assistant to outgoing Coun. Steve Desroches, easily took the race, roughly doubling the votes garnered by his nearest opponent, Jason Kelly. Ottawa Sun columnist Susan Sherring came third. Desroches did not seek re-election after two terms. Late in the campaign, Desroches expressed some frustration with Qaqish’s approach to campaigning. Desroches suggested Qaqish was taking credit for some achievements that had more to do with Desroches than any of his staff. In a statement, Desroches said “residents of the ward know that I take my personal accountability to residents very seriously. I am very

South. He added that Prince of Wales Drive, and Fallowfield and Greenbank roads require widening. The new city council will be sworn in on Dec. 1.

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,” Qaqish said in an email in the week prior to the election.

RUNNER-UP

ELECTION VICTORY

The last-minute questions about claims didn’t appear to slow down Qaqish’s momentum. He held the lead from the first ballot box to the last. As results appeared on a big screen at the Strandherd Drive Broadway restaurant, supporters cheered and hugged. Qaqish’s arrival – shortly after being declared winner on a local TV station – brought more cheers and he circled the room to hug each individual supporter. “Each of you made democracy work,” Qaqish told them. “For the next term of office, there’s a lot of work to do. The work starts tomorrow.”

Nevil Hunt/Metroland

Michael Qaqish will be the next councillor for Gloucester-South Nepean after winning the Oct. 27 election in that ward. When he reaches the council table in December, Qaqish will serve alongside Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder, who won re-election the same night. Harder joined Desroches in criticizing Qaqish’s perceived claims to accomplishments during the campaign, “It’s been very frustrating because from day one the (Qaqish) camp has been built around really deluding the public into thinking that he had already served in this role,” Harder

said a week before the vote. At his victory party, Qaqish was asked if he’ll be able to work with Harder, which is likely given the two serve in adjacent wards. “I can work with anyone,” Qaqish said. “The question is: can she work with me?” When the new council does start work, Qaqish said key issue will be continued investment in infrastructure such as the O-Train, as well as a recreation complex in Riverside

Kelly said he was proud of his campaign and his team. “I can’t look back in any negative way,” he said despite the secondplace finish. “We ran a strong campaign with integrity.” Kelly said the margin of victory came as a surprise. “Definitely all of us here thought it would be a very tight race,” he said little more than two hours after voting finished. The geography of the ward – which is split by the Rideau River – makes it a challenge for candidates, Kelly said. He added that it will be interesting as the ward boundaries are reviewed – and possibly altered – in the next term of council. “We don’t know what they’ll come up with,” Kelly said, adding he wouldn’t rule out another run for office. “My dedication and work in the community doesn’t stop today.”

News - Gloucester-Southgate Ward will once again be represented by Diane Deans. Upon concluding her victory speech to a packed room at KS on the Keys restaurant, Deans shouted, “Now, time to party!” Deans won the election convincingly, with 56 per cent of the vote, while runnerup Lilly Obina took 21.6 per cent. Deans has reason to celebrate as it was her seventh time being elected to represent the ward, dating back prior to Ottawa’s amalgamation in 2001. Deans says her consistent success stems from putting the necessities of her ward first. “I’m in touch with the constituents and know what they want and need,” said Deans. “I’m always out and interacting with the public at events, or even just running into them at the shopping mall. They know I’m connected and that’s what matters.” With her most recent re-election, Deans said she does not intend to change her approach, and public safety will continue to be of importance to Deans. “Safety of the residents always comes first,” said Deans. “We will be looking to make the roads safer. One (of the) main issues right now is reducing traffic in some of the more popular areas.” Deans recently moved just outside of the ward due to an illness within her family, something that served as a target for her opponents, who raised the question of whether it would have a dramatic effect on her in the race. This proved not to be the case, as the ward’s devotion to Deans prevailed, and even stronger than the previous election as she won by 1,944 more votes. Obina also finished in second place behind Deans in the 2010 municipal election. The project manager for a global engineering company wanted to campaign for a second time in order to bring positive change to the ward, specifically job creation. Crime was also a concern for her and she had been advocating for “deeper solutions and more preventative and proactive moves,” she previously told The News.

Diane Deans enters a packed room of supporters at KS on the Keys after learning she had been re-elected in Gloucester-Southgate Ward on Oct. 27 Deans campaigned on a platform of 20 years worth of success advocating for the needs of residents of Gloucester-Southgate. The 56-year-old said prior to election night that seeking re-election was not a difficult decision, since she loves helping people. While on the campaign trail, the longtime Ottawa resident said her experience at city hall would be an advantage for residents. Deans has chaired a number of portfolios at during her terms on council, including serving as vice-chair of the province’s Social Housing Services Corporation. She is currently chairwoman of the transit commission and past-chairwoman of the city’s community and protective services committee. “Obviously, I know city hall, how it works. I know the people. I know how to get things done. I know how to move an agenda

forward and I think that puts GloucesterSouthgate at an advantage,” she told The News during her campaign. Her priorities over the years have included community and traffic safety, and she said in recent weeks she would continue to network with residents, community associations, partner organizations and Ottawa police to make sure ward neighbourhoods are safe and healthy. “This will include a review of Ottawa police staffing levels and looking at new ways to slow down traffic in our communities,” she has said. Two other challengers, Brad Pye and Rodaina Chahrour, each took around eight per cent of the vote, while Meladul Haq Ahmadzai, George Marko and Mohamed Roble each took less than four per cent.

Rising to the challenge

ear is a powerful thing. If there is one thing that those living here in Ottawa and those across the country should guard against in the wake of the tragic shooting that took place on Parliament Hill last week, it is giving in to fear. While very young children are often afraid of nothing, we all learn to fear something at a very early age. Fear for adults is often the consequence of a lack of understanding. If we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t comprehend what something means, or what its motives might be, we tend to fear it. Despite exposure to the threat of global terrorism over the past decade and a half, Canada had up until last week been fortunate in that it had not been forced to confront terror on its own soil. Those days are now over, and we now begin the process of coming to terms with the reality of terrorism. Now is the time when fear can begin to manifest itself. As a city and as a country, we need to resist the temptation to give in to fear. Now is not the time

to shrink from the challenges now facing us. Shutting up shop, curtailing freedoms, stoking fearful sentiments â&#x20AC;&#x201C; such actions will not help Canada confront terror. The threat of terror is now upon us, so we must now act. To borrow from Helen Keller, who showed remarkable courage despite having much to fear in her life, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. The fearful are caught as often as the bold.â&#x20AC;? Canadians must resist being fearful. We must be mindful, but we must not be afraid. Soldiers should not fear walking our streets in uniform. If our boldest guardians are afraid, we are surely lost. Our political leaders must not be afraid. Now is the time for strong leadership, the kind that protects the citizens of Canada while maintaining the rights and freedoms that are integral to our national identity. These are stern tests of our character, but now is time for bravery to shine through and banish fear to the shadows.

Will the Frisbees return to Parliament Hill?

very time there is an incident on Parliament Hill, we hear the expression â&#x20AC;&#x153;balancing act.â&#x20AC;? The incidents â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a bomb going off in a washroom, rogue buses being driven up onto the Hill, attacks on visiting heads of state, cars driving through the barrier, and all the anxiety arising from 9/11 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; have become increasingly severe, culminating in last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bloody events. And so, as the networks tried to fill in the gaps while they waited for facts to emerge, the experts were consulted, as they always are, to look at the big picture. And they talked, as they always do, about the openness of our parliamentary precincts and the need to balance that with an increased need for security.

one, the continuing discussion about the openness of the capital and what would happen to it. The symbol of openness, the one youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always heard and the one many of us have frequently witnessed, is the Frisbee toss on Parliament Hill. That was always nice to see, being able to walk up onto the lawns, watch the tourists lined up around the Centennial Flame, the occasional noisy but peaceful demonstration, the members of Parliament walking to Centre Block, the folks having their lunches on the grass and the Frisbees flying back and forth. That was Canada to many of us, a peaceful place spared from the hammerlock of security. Every time something happens, we are led to wonder about that. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This will change

Things have indeed changed over the years, little by little, in response to various incidents, various threats. There are metal detectors for visitors to the Parliament Buildings. There are barricades to keep unauthorized automobiles off the Hill. But, no more Frisbees? That will be hard to take, even for those of us who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t toss them.

Crisis communication

very so often, my kids have fire drills at school. They also have lockdown drills. They do them, not because it’s expected there will ever be a fire or a need to hide from an attack, but so they are prepared should it happen. This is part of a good in-house emergency preparedness plan. Last week’s events on Parliament Hill changed everything for schools and school boards, however. They found themselves, as did many of us, in an unprecedented terrorism environment – or was it? No one knew. On advice of police, the four public school boards individually had to initiate security and shelter measures in schools across the city. And then they had to communicate with worried parents across the city – all parents, all at the same time. There were some evident successes, but many individual schools and the boards that were centrally co-ordinating communications, also recognized flaws in their plans. Most parents got the message through mainstream media or social media relatively quickly that schools had

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse safety measures in place. They knew their kids were as safe as they could be in, what was for all of us, a scary and dynamic situation. Point one for the communications pros. But as developments occurred throughout the day, it wasn’t clear what would happen next. Would the children stay in school longer? What about those who had parents in lockdown in central Ottawa? How could they get information? What if they couldn’t get their kids? What about buses, daycares? The boards themselves couldn’t release any information to parents until they had co-ordinated and factchecked with police to ensure correct and consistent information was getting distributed to parents. And with all the potential ways to get in touch – social media, web, phone – they had

to make sure non-conflicting information was released. Anecdotally, the Ottawa Carleton District School Board seemed to be the shining star. The board contacted the media directly and regularly with updates for parents, even when there was no update. Staff simultaneously updated school and board news information. The new information was easy to find on the landing page of the websites. In many cases, parents within the public board received up to three emails as well as automated telephone call updates throughout the day. This is an example of a school board that reached out to parents in multiple ways, attempting to ensure they would contact them one way or another. Other boards also centrally co-ordinate communications, but they admit they experienced gaps. At our school, for example, many parents didn’t receive a single email, the school website didn’t have any updated information, calling into the school yielded an outdated voice recording, and while there was some use of social media by the board, not all notices were updated quickly enough for parents react and important information was buried. Finally, the pertinent information was delivered in French only, despite the fact up to 60 per cent of parents in

some parts of the board’s catchment areas are non-French speakers. I had a chance to speak with Roxanne Deevey, spokeswoman for the French Catholic school board, the day following the Parliament Hill attack. Deevey says in many cases the board was successful in reaching out to parents, but she admits they were in unchartered territory. “We do have a crisis communication plan in place, but the focus is on a crisis happening within an individual school,” says Deevey. “It was by no means perfect. We’re in the process of debriefing and gathering information at this point to decide how we can adjust our crisis communications plan going forward.” Deevey noted that the day following the incident, the board received only three formal complaints out of 51 schools and 21,600 students, so they must have done something right. I’m sure officials at schools and school boards across the city are doing the same. I hope so. Having an emergency preparedness plan in place to deal with a mass disaster is as common sense as fire and lockdown drills. But it’s not enough to simply train the kids. Administrators also must conduct their own risk scenario testing, and a huge component of that, especially when you’re

‘He comes with excellent community experience:’ McRae Continued from page 1

Brockington, 38, who was elected to serve as school trustee for River Zone from 2003 to 2010, campaigned this election to bring strong, competent, fiscally-minded, community-based representation to the council table. “I just believe in very firm, active representation,” the former president of the Riverside Park Community Association said after his win. “I’m going to immerse myself with the communities. I’m going to be very visible, very open to constructive criticism and different opinions.” On the campaign trail he said he heard from residents the need for the next councillor to monitor city spending, control taxes, address residential speeding issues and ensure the protection of green space. Once he takes office on Dec. 1, he said one of his plans will be to ask city staff to cost out weekly summertime garbage pick-up. During his campaign, Brock-

ington had McRae’s endorsement and on election night he had the support of former city councillors Karin Howard, George Brown and former deputy mayor Allan Higden. Howard has known Brockington since he ran against her for a council seat 20 years ago, when he was just 18 years old.

Name recognition and McRae’s endorsement likely made the difference and “he’s the only (candidate) who’s been elected,” Howard said, referring to Brockington’s time as school trustee. “I think he’s kind of in that Canadian middle,” she said. “He’s fiscally prudent. He’s an

she plans to help the lifelong River Ward resident transition into his new role. “It’s a true honour and privilege to serve as an elected official and he’s going to understand what that feels like at the municipal level,” McRae said. While on the campaign trail, Brockington said he would involve himself in the issues surrounding the Airport Parkway bridge and development. He said he would also ensure the community’s wishes for the old Bayview school site on Riverside Drive are heard at council. Brockington said it will be important to keep close watch on plans for the property, which is owned by the city. What struck second-place candidate Vanessa Sutton the most about the election-night results was the voter turnout, which she described as low. Sutton said it may be an indication that people are losing faith in the political process and feel they can’t make a difference. People are really seeking “authentic leaders” who can ad-

In addition to Brockington’s expertise as a federal government economist, McRae said “he comes with excellent community experience. He’s certainly lived in the ward his whole entire life. He’s raising his family here.” The outgoing councillor said

e had many spots to play when I was a little girl growing up on a farm, but I think one of my favourites was the old milk house at the farm next door to us. It was no longer used as a milk house, and we children were allowed to use it as a play house. Friends from all over the area seemed to congregate there most Saturdays, and even though the boys tried to take it over and keep the girls out, they were outnumbered, and we used it just as much as they did. Uncle Alec and Aunt Bertha (they weren’t really an aunt and uncle, but in those days children did not call adults by their first names) had a big family, 10 children of a wide range of ages, and on any given Saturday, most of them, all of us Hanemans, and various other Valley kids usually ended up in the old milk house. Tub was one of the pupils from the Northcote School who ambled over every Saturday to check out the action. He was as round as a barrel, and

and placed one of Tub’s feet and then the other on each shoulder. Everett pushed upwards with all his might, but Tub wouldn’t budge. He was starting to yell that he was suffocating. The two of them must have struggled for 20 minutes, and it was soon obvious that Tub wasn’t going to move. Emerson had a flash of insight, and suggested the ladder be moved to the outside of the building, around to the little window and someone could crawl in there, and push Tub downwards. Everett jumped off the ladder after removing Tub’s feet, and in a flash they had the ladder out the door and around the side of the building. It was a funny sight to see Tub hanging out of the ceiling with his gum rubbers and overalls looking like they were nailed to the roof with no body attached. We heard Emerson lift the window and then heard him pounding across the floor of the attic. We heard muffled conversation, but both boys were yelling, so we couldn’t

make out what either was saying. There was a great whoosh, and the next thing we saw was poor old Tub shoot out of that hole in the attic like a big bag of grain. It was most unfortunate that no one thought of going outside to retrieve the ladder so that he could dismount with some dignity. As it was he hit the floor like a boulder, rattling the windows, and raising the dust from the boards. I thought he was dead. He lay there a couple of minutes with his eyes glassed over. Emerson’s head was poking out of the attic door, and no one said a word. Poor old Tub started to move. He rubbed his hands up and down his body to see if there were any missing parts, then he rolled over, got up on his knees, and slowly stood. He walked towards the door, and without as much as a by-your-leave, headed right out the lane to the Northcote Side Road. Not once did he turn to look back. None of us had much enthusiasm for the milk house after that.

Remembrance services will go ahead as planned Recent attack won’t deter plans of Veterans Affairs, Legion Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News - The Royal Canadian Legion says it is not letting the recent attack at the National War Memorial – where thousands gather each year to pay their respects to deceased, retired and current Canadian military personnel – impact its plans for Remembrance Day services across the country on Nov. 11.

ottawa COMMUNITY

“While recent events may have raised concerns we will stand strong with our partners in security and first response to deliver these services Canadians have come to expect,” Tom Eagles, dominion president of the Royal Canadian Legion, said in a statement on Oct. 23. “As we approach this Remembrance period, we ask all Canadians to join us in honouring and respecting those who are serving our nation, those

who have served so valiantly and those who have made the supreme sacrifice for our value and freedoms.” Veterans Affairs Canada reiterated Eagles’ sentiments, and said services at cenotaphs and the National War Memorial will go ahead as planned. “The safety and security of Remembrance Day ceremonies here in Ottawa and across Canada is of paramount importance to this government,” spokeswoman Janice Summerby said in an email. “All Canadians, active members of the military and veterans are encouraged to pay their

“We look forward to a very meaningful and poignant commemoration as we’ve seen so often … on the 11th of November.” Gen. Tom Lawson, Canadian Armed Forces’ chief of the defence staff

Likewise, Ottawa Deputy Mayor Steve Desroches, who also serves as councillor for Gloucester-South Nepean, said he hoped the recent tragedy at the National War Memorial would not alter services in downtown Ottawa or at ceno-

to take precautions, but I don’t think we should accommodate what the evil-doers wish by disrupting our traditions and our efforts to honor veterans and their sacrifice,” said Desroches, who usually attends services in Manotick or Barrhaven.

The war memorial was cordoned off then reopened following last week’s shooting. Gen. Tom Lawson, Canadian Armed Forces’ chief of the defence staff, said the day after the downtown shooting that RCMP and Ottawa police would be assessing security requirements for Remembrance Day services there “while balancing that with access for Canadians and for our members in uniform. “We look forward to a very meaningful and poignant commemoration as we’ve seen so often … on the 11th of November.”

Sergeant-at-arms applauded for heroics on Parliament Hill Brier Dodge and Erin McCracken brier.dodge@metroland.com

News - An Orléans man – Sergeant-at-Arms Kevin Vickers – is being hailed as a hero for shooting at an attacker who entered the Parliament Buildings on Oct. 22. Vickers, a former officer with the RCMP in New Brunswick, was applauded by Prime Minister Stephen Harper and members of parliament during a standing ovation that lasted two-and-a-half minutes in the House of Commons on Oct. 23, the day after gun violence rocked the nation’s capital, sending shockwaves across the country. During the thunderous applause, Vickers glanced at the MPs and nodded several times to acknowledge their gratitude. As he walked the length of the House he appeared to be very moved by the praise shown by the political representatives. Calling Vickers “a very fine man, very quiet, very unassuming,” Ottawa South MP David McGuinty said it is very fortunate Vickers was there when the gunman gained access to Centre Block. “This person, who’s been killed, walked right by the two main doors going into the Conservative caucus

Jason Ransom/Office of the Prime Minister

Prime Minister Stephen Harper, far right, is joined by MPs in a standing ovation for Sergeant-at-Arms Kevin Vickers in the House of Commons on Oct. 23. Harper hailed Vickers as a hero the day after the Orléans resident shot at an armed assailant who had earlier gunned down a soldier at the National War Memorial and then breached the Centre Block of the Parliament Buildings where members of parliament had gathered for their weekly caucus meetings. room and the NDP caucus room,” McGuinty said the day of the shootings. Vickers has served in his House of Commons role since 2006, said Ot-

tawa-Orléans MP Royal Galipeau. The job has a ceremonial aspect, as Vickers carries a mace into the House of Commons at sittings, and he is also the head of security for House of

Commons. Galipeau said Vickers isn’t normally armed, but keeps a handgun in his office, which he used to shoot at alleged terrorist Michael Zehaf-Bibeau. “Our security did an amazing job, and Kevin Vickers is an inspirational man, Galipeau said, expressing pride for the resident of his Ottawa-Orléans riding. “And the staff that work for him are every bit as professional.” Vickers released a statement the day after the shooting, giving credit to his “remarkable” security team. “I am very touched by the attention directed at me following yesterday’s events,” he said. “I am grateful and proud to be part of this team. House of Commons security services also maintains a close working relationship with its security partners, including Senate security, the RCMP and the Ottawa police. This close collaboration made it possible to pull together and quickly restore order in the Parliamentary precinct and throughout the downtown core.” In his statement, Vickers said Const. Samearn Son, a 10-year employee of the House of Commons, suffered a gunshot wound to the leg, but was in stable condition and expected to make a full recovery. Son made attempts to stop Zehaf-Bibeau.

McGuinty, who said he’s known Vickers for several years, said it was a stroke of luck that Vickers was nearby when Zehaf-Bibeau stormed into the building. “We were very fortunate to have the sergeant-at-arms in his office, which is literally right in that corridor,” McGuinty said. “He could have been upstairs in the cafeteria having coffee. He could have been at a dentist’s appointment today knowing it’s a caucus day. The timing is fortuitous.” Galipeau still remembers the first time he saw Vickers, whose height makes him a striking figure through the halls of Parliament, at the Hill. “Instead of putting on that ceremonial uniform that you’ve seen, with that fancy hat, you know what uniform he put on? He put on green coveralls. He put on the maintenance uniform, and for a week, he went shining brass, mopping up the floor, doing every menial job that needs to be done, to study human nature – really, to learn how the Hill is working,” Galipeau said. He said he later recognized Vickers once he donned his ceremonial uniform. That’s when the sergeantat-arms told Galipeau he lived in his Ottawa-Orléans riding.

News - More details about Parliament Hill gunman Michael Zehaf-Bibeau and his quest to travel to Syria emerged at a joint RCMP and police news conference Oct. 23. The 32-year-old shooter, who was killed Wednesday, Oct. 22 after opening fire inside the Hall of Honour after fatally shooting a Canadian Armed Forces member at the nearby National War Memorial, was a radicalized Canadian citizen who was in communication with an unnamed person the RCMP has investigated in relation to terrorism, RCMP Commissioner Bob Paulson said. The RCMP revealed dramatic security video shot by several cameras in different locations on Parliament Hill that show Zehaf-Bibeau getting in a beige car that had been parked eastbound on Wellington Street in front of the memorial after twice shooting Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, 24, who was standing guard on honour duty at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. ZehafBibeau pulled a U-turn on Wellington and came to a stop at the Hill entrance near the East Block, where retractable bollards were recently installed. A bystander approaches the vehicle before recoiling and running away with other witnesses as Zehaf-Bibeau stormed onto the Hill and headed towards a lineup of parked black MP vehicles outside the east block. After jumping in one of those vehicles, the video shows him driving with the car door open up to the west side of the main Centre-Block entrance and dashing up the stairs, all the while carrying a gun RCMP identified as a .30-30 Winchester lever-action rifle. The entire incident shown on video took place between 9:52:36 a.m. on Oct. 22, when bystanders first called 911 to report the shooting, and 9:53:46, when he entered the Parliament building. Once inside, Paulson said ZehafBibeau opened fire and exchanged shots with Hill security guards and RCMP before Sergeant-at-Arms Kevin Vickers and members of his team took Zehaf-Bibeau out while hiding behind pillars in the Hall of Honour. Paulson said the investigation has confirmed Zehaf-Bibeau acted alone. Zehaf-Bibeau was born in Montreal and had most recently been living in Vancouver before his stay at a downtown Ottawa shelter beginning Oct. 2, when he arrived in the city to deal with his passport application, which had been flagged. However, Paulson said the gunman was not one of 90 people identified as “high-risk travellers” by the RCMP over concerns they had been radicalized. People on that list, which has since grown to 93, are being re-evaluated in co-ordination with CSIS to determine

Local MP renews calls for tighter Parliament Hill security Erin McCracken and Laura Mueller erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News - Long before a gunman gained access to the Centre Block of Parliament Hill last week, the member of parliament for Ottawa South had been calling for enhanced security measures. From advocating that MPs’ and Senators’ staffers undergo mandatory security checks to installing swipe-card technology at entrances to the Hill, MP David McGuinty said, “We’re not trying to create fortress Parliament, but we have to be cognizant that there are new circumstances and we have to choose the right balance.” Calling Oct. 22 a “very black day,” he said he agrees with those people who have said “it’s a loss of innocence for our city, maybe even our country. “I’ve been worried about this for years. You know, you’ll say it’ll never happen, it’ll never happen. But you worry,” he said. “I haven’t felt this kind of palpable fear since the morning of 9/11.” For at least the past five years, McGuinty has been sounding the alarm over lackluster security measures on Parliament Hill, and advocating for enhanced security measures around the perimeter of the Parliament buildings, as well as replacing the current photo identification entry requirement for a swipe card and turnstile system at Hill entrances. A turnstile would provide a physical impediment, while swipe cards also let security know who’s in the

building and when, he added. Some progress has been made since McGuinty first started calling for changes, such as the installation of retractable steel bollards at various access points in the approach to Centre Block. But it’s not enough to suit McGuinty. “I’m not the only one,” said the MP, who began calling for change the day after the Greenpeace protest on Dec. 7, 2009, during which protestors scaled the Parliament Buildings. “People (including other MPs) have been raising concerns for a while.” He has also called for the security verification of outside contractors, especially short-term and subcontractors. “I don’t know what security they’re being subjected to, and I think that would be important,” McGuinty said. It should also be mandatory for staff members of members of Parliament and senators to undergo security checks, a measure McGuinty has been advocating for but one he admits has been “a bit more of a controversial issue. “There’s no security check unless you work for a minister – the point being that there’s a lot of people who work for MPs and senators,” he said. “I just think that could be expanded.” There is a voluntary security screening process available for staffers, something that McGuinty has required of his staff for more than five years. However, this check doesn’t give

Ottawa South Member of Parliament David McGuinty says some improvements have been made, but more could be done. staff members secret-level security clearance, which he said he would prefer. Security co-ordination

Another issue that has been raised is the complication that arises when co-ordinating security services with three agencies – the Ottawa police, RCMP and Hill se-

curity staff – which was the subject of an Auditor General’s report in 2012. The report advised that the House of Commons administration should look at establishing one unified security force for the entire Parliamentary precinct. In May of 2012, RCMP Assistant Commissioner James Malizia addressed the House on the matter. He

pointed out that providing security on the Hill requires close collaboration with partners, including the Senate and House of Commons security services. A master security planning office was set up. The Ottawa police service isn’t mentioned in his remarks, nor in notes from the legislative council secretariat about security on the Hill. See MCGUINTY, page 17

Ottawa South News - Thursday, October 30, 2014

McGuinty confident Parliament Hill security can be improved Malizia’s comments do express how events that occur off of Parliament Hill can affect security, but the comments focus mainly on large protests and visiting dignitaries. Ottawa police did not provide information about its role in the master security plan or what protocols exist for communication of incidents between the police, RCMP and security teams on Parliament Hill. Deputy Chief Jill Skinner declined to respond to the same question. Ottawa Centre MP Paul Dewar said the co-ordination of security services on and around Parliament Hill “has always been a challenge.” While he was impressed with the Ottawa police response to the incident, Dewar said the dynamic between the three bodies that co-ordinate to protect the Hill will also have to be reviewed, but he said he was impressed with the police response during the incident. “Clearly, that needs to be always looked at – who is in

charge, what protocols you’re following and how do you respond to different crises,” Dewar said.

“I’m really confident, especially after today (amid comments on security in the House of Commons on Oct. 23), that we’re going to be able to improve things.” Ottawa South MP David McGuinty

Malizia referenced that complexity during his comments to the House in 2012. “The RCMP recognizes the need to balance security and access, but we also recognize that the implementation of security measures cannot override the right of MPs’ access to the Parliamentary precinct,” Malizia is recorded as saying in the Hansard record in 2012.

McGuinty echoed Dewar’s comments. “There was a real palpable sense of fear that permeates, not just the perimeter here in the core, but across the region and that’s what I think we’re dealing with now in terms of fall-out effects of yesterday,” McGuinty said. “But I’m really confident, especially after today (amid comments on security in the House of Commons on Oct. 23), that we’re going to be able to improve things.” Gunman’s car

McGuinty was driving to a caucus meeting at Centre Block on Parliament Hill the morning of the shooting As he navigated his vehicle along Wellington Street in the right lane closest to the West Block of the Parliament Buildings he saw a car blocking the lane – now believed to be the gunman’s car. “I said, ‘You know, that’s crazy,’ because I’ve been calling for some time now for new measures of security in and around the Parliamentary pre-

cinct,” he said. No one was inside the vehicle, nor was anyone outside nearby. The car’s flashing lights weren’t on and the engine wasn’t running. “I noticed right away that I couldn’t see any licence plates on the car.” McGuinty recalled. “I’m like, ‘This is really strange.’ So I’m thinking to myself, ‘I’m going to make sure the RCMP know when I come down to the (security) barrier (at Parliament Hill).” Before he could get there, McGuinty watched as RCMP cruisers raced through the security barriers on the west side of the Hill. Minutes later, as McGuinty and his staff member tried to gain entrance to the Hill, they were turned away amid reports there had been a shooting about three minutes prior. The MP later learned the abandoned Toyota likely belonged to gunman Michael Zehaf-Bibeau who killed a military reservist at the National War Memorial. Zehaf-Bibeau was later shot dead by security on Parliament Hill.

Ottawa South MP David McGuinty is hoping security on Parliament Hill will be improved after last week’s attacks.

Cirillo was gunned down at the foot of the memorial the day before by Michael Zehaf-Bibeau, who was later shot by security forces after storming the Centre Block of Parliament. Flowers, candles and condolences were placed around the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier as a steady stream of residents arrived to pay their respects.

City’s emergency response to undergo post-crisis review: deputy mayor emccracken@metroland.com

News - Lessons have been learned following last week’s lockdown of much of Ottawa’s downtown core when a solitary gunman shot a Canadian soldier then made his way into the Parliament Buildings, according to the city’s deputy mayor. For the second time in four years, the city’s emergency operations centre was activated the morning of Oct. 22 – the first time was in 2013 when six people died after an OC Transpo bus collided with a train in Barrhaven. “I think our systems were activated quite effectively,” said Deputy Mayor Steve Desroches, who was in the locked down city hall at the time of the shootings. “(The emergency ops centre) involves all of the department heads coming together to ensure that our emergency services are co-ordinated, and that way (ensuring) the continuity of the city,” said Desroches, who sat in on a number of emergency operations meetings at city hall that morning along with fellow Deputy Mayor Eli El-Chantiry, councillor for West Carleton-March and chair of the city’s police services board.

During those meetings, the city’s co-ordinated emergency response protocol was rolled out, and operational decisions were made, said Desroches, who is also the councillor for Gloucester-South Nepean. “And that was very much ongoing yesterday in terms of working with the Ottawa police and supporting them and the RCMP and the national authorities – that at the same time scenarios were being planned for the p.m. rush hour in terms of how we would facilitate traffic and keep transit moving.” Plans were also developed that day to deter additional traffic from coming downtown. For that reason, city hall was closed “to take some pressure off the transportation grid,” he said, adding that decisions also had to be made on how and when to bring the transit system along Albert and Slater streets, which were closed during the downtown lockdown, back online. There likely will be a review of the city’s response and how it can be improved. “I certainly expect that from our officials and I think residents do as well, that if we can tighten it up, if we can strengthen, that’s certainly the objective of this,” he said.

A review of the city’s emergency response during the downtown shooting crisis will likely be conducted, according to Ottawa Deputy Mayor Steve Desroches. The challenge is that officials cannot plan for every scenario. “We live in a free society, a very dynamic one. There’s very, very many risk points, but the primary goal is that our emergency services (and) our city is able to respond, our city’s able to communicate during times of crisis, (that) we’re able to make decisions, we’re able to support who’s affected and were able to keep our city moving at the same

time an incident is unfolding or has concluded.” Desroches credited Mayor Jim Watson and Ottawa police Chief Charles Bordeleau for responding to the crisis with level heads in the midst of a rapidly evolving situation involving conflicting information and many unknowns – whether there was more than one shooting, and more than one gunman. “I think the city is in very strong and capable hands,” Desroches said. “Not everyone handles crisis well, but I’m very impressed with how the chief and the mayor handle crisis and gather facts and make prudent decisions, because in many occasions you’re getting conflicting information, distorted information, you’re getting partial information. “I think the residents can be reassured that we have top notch emergency personnel, and when there is a crisis our city’s emergency response system is activated and the city’s in a state of readiness and able and staffed to respond.” At that point, he said, it becomes all hands on deck, from the city’s transportation, transit and public health departments to police, fire, paramedics and bylaw personnel. He doesn’t anticipate that secu-

rity measures at city hall will need to change in light of the recent incidents. While the city can’t possibly plan for every scenario, it does have a system in place so that municipal departments can respond to a major crisis, Desroches said. “I think as a nation’s capital we prepared for an incident, an emergency,” he said. “We knew collectively this is a post-9/11 generation. We knew we had to prepare and be ready and I guess we collectively hoped that it wouldn’t happen.” Being the nation’s capital, which is home to federal departments, national institutions and a number of incidents, the city realized there was a strong possibility for a major incident – “that we’re not immune to it in Ottawa,” said Desroches, who pointed to example of past incidents in which people have targeted Parliament Hill or assassinated diplomats. “I think we will be affected by this, but I don’t think that we’re going to turn our city into a … fortified military base,” he said. “Certainly we’re going to look at what we can do differently or how do we respond, but I think when you’re the nation’s capital, sadly, we can be a target for people who want to do us harm.” 1030.R0012968631

News - Kanata was briefly the focus of dozens of news outlets and tweeters who jumped on reports of a gunman in the Hazeldean and Eagleson roads area on Oct. 23 at about 2 p.m. Hazeldean Mall was locked down for a period of 20 minutes or so, according to several store employees at the mall, but was soon lifted after police found the report to not be credible. Nonetheless, Const. Chuck Benoit, Ottawa police spokesperson, said the child witnesses did the right thing by reporting what they saw. Police said they received a call reporting that witnesses saw a man walking with a weapon, perhaps a rifle, in the area of Eagleson and Hazeldean roads. Police appeared to focus their search at the entrance to the Old Quarry Trail across Eagleson Road from Hazeldean Mall. “We advised the mall that there was an incident close (by),” said Benoit, adding that it was the decision of mall management to lock down the premises. “The management from

the building makes the decision on the lockdown, and then we advise them of the results (of the investigation), and then they decide if the mall reopens or stays closed,” he said. Lynda Larsen-Baldry, an employee of Razor Sports, said mall management gave workers no explanation for the lockdown.

“I think people across the city are just very, very nervous because of the tragic events of (the downtown Ottawa shooting) yesterday.” Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley

“I was told when it first happened that it was a drill,” said Larsen-Baldry. Workers resorted to listening to news reports to find out the cause of the lockdown. For approximately 20 minutes, anyone inside the mall was not allowed to leave and no one was allowed to enter, said mall workers. Mall management would not comment, referring inquiries to Toronto-based Bentall Kennedy, administrators of

Riverside South

the mall. Upon speaking with the young witnesses and briefly investigating, police said there was no threat in the area. “The witnesses were young children, and there was nothing really credible to what was said, but we had to investigate,” said Benoit. Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley, who was on the scene speaking with police, said given the emotional climate after the downtown shooting on Oct. 22, people are understandably shaken. “I think people across the city are just very, very nervous because of the tragic events of yesterday,” he said, referring to the shooting in downtown Ottawa. “They are anxious and they are nervous and everything looks suspicious to them,” said Hubley. While Hubley asked that people take a moment to consider what they’ve seen before deciding to report something suspicious, police said the young witnesses did the right thing and that people should not hesitate in calling the police. “We want people to call in the information whenever they do see something suspicious,” said Benoit. “It should never be kept in. We will investigate and we will decide … if it is a priority or not.”

Local Muslim leaders condemn shootings Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

News - Imams and other Muslim leaders in the national capital met on Oct. 22, a handful of hours after the shootings downtown, and condemned what they called the “heinous and cowardly acts” that resulted in the death of a Canadian Armed Forces member. The meeting of approximately 20 Imams and Muslim community leaders was planned within an hour of the shootings, said Imam Zejad Delic of the South Nepean Muslim Community, before the alleged identity of the shooter was announced. Though the shooter, alleged to be 32-year-old Canadian citizen Michael Zehaf-Bibeau, was a recent convert to Islam, the response from Muslim leaders was the same, said Delic. “It doesn’t matter who attacks,” he said. “We all have to stand up together because we have to defend what is ours, and that is the message that I have basically received last night from the meeting.” The meeting resulted in an open letter to Canadians, conveying the Muslims of Ottawa and Gatineau’s “deepest sympathies,” for the shooting in Ottawa that killed Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, reservist with the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders of Canada based in Hamilton, as well as the hit-and-run that killed Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent in St-Jean-surRichelieu, Que., on Oct. 20. The letter’s sentiment was

echoed by Kanata Imam Sikander Hashmi and Imam Imtiaz Ahmed of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in Cumberland. “These are acts of heartless cowards and have no basis in religion,” said Ahmed. “As Canadians, we pray that God almighty protect all Canadians from harm, and that these terrorists be brought to justice.” Hashmi said he went to Parliament Hill the morning after the shooting to speak with media on behalf of the Muslim community. “Actually being on Parliament Hill under those circumstances, I was very emotional,” he said. Hashmi said that, while finding out the shooter allegedly was Muslim added a new dimension to the meeting of Muslim leaders, “There was unanimous condemnation around the table.” “Anything that happens of this sort affects all Canadians, including Muslims. “There were Muslims who were under lockdown at work downtown, and perhaps even some on Parliament Hill. So we are all affected by this just like every other Canadian,” said Hashmi. At the meeting, which took place at about 7 p.m. at the Assunah Muslims Association at Bank Street and Hunt Club Drive, there were reports of Muslim school children being bullied in reaction to the shooting in Ottawa, as well

At the same time, I think the real tragedy here is what’s happened, and it’s very important to underline that we

Three-course meal to help fund new accessible play structure Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News - A mouth-watering meal is in the works to help fund a new adaptive playground for children with developmental challenges. School council volunteers at Clifford Bowey Public School in south Ottawa, which serves 104 students ages four to 21, have since April been busy preparing for the school’s first ever sit-down dinner fundraiser. “I feel it’s important to work as a community and support people who need to grow, especially for younger people who need to have a stronger mind and body connection, help them get more confidence, help them want to go to school that much more often,” chef Justin Scott said of his reason for wanting to participate in the fundraiser. The Parliamentary Restaurant chef will prepare the threecourse meal for guests at the school’s cafeteria on Nov. 15. Funds raised through $45 ticket sales for the event, which will also feature a silent auction, will help the school pay for the installation of a new accessible play structure for senior students, ages eight to 21. The school’s current playground equipment for senior students is wooden, and sand covers the area around a swing set in the yard, creating a barrier to students who rely on walkers or wheelchairs or have other mobility issues, said Clifford Bowey school principal Laurie

In the meantime, the parent

Kavanagh. “They can’t access the play structure, and it’s outdated,” she said, adding the school installed a brand new playground in 2011 for primary students up to age seven for $135,000. The new structure will cost almost $200,000, and parents and school staff are hoping it can be put in place next summer, complete with a rubberized surface beneath. The Ottawa-Carleton District School Board will contribute funds, but the school council of parent volunteers, through the registered not-for-profit Clif-

gym,” Slaunwhite said, Another goal of the fundraiser is to involve students who have been creating centrepieces for the tables and signs for the dinner “to give them that experience of being involved in a community event because it’s not an experience they get to have very often, and also to show to the guests and the community what they can do,” Slaunwhite said. The new playground equipment will also benefit the community. “Not only is the playground equipment going to benefit the school during school hours … when it’s outside of school hours and on weekends the playground will be accessible to the general public,” said Slaunwhite. “So anyone who has developmental disabilities or accessibility issues – (the playground is) now going to be a new facility they can use.” To purchase dinner tickets and bid on silent auction items, visit boweyfoundation.org.

volunteers and Scott are busy preparing for the dinner, marking the first time the school council has spearheaded a community dinner at Clifford Bowey, located at 1300 Kitchener Ave. “Because a lot of our parents have a lot on their plate and they can’t contribute a much as maybe in a regular school, so that’s why we thought we’d try something that would involve more of the general community,” said school council volunteer Françoise Slaunwhite, who initially thought of the fundraising idea and reached out to Scott for his

culinary expertise. Scott developed the theme of the dinner: Chef Night – Savour Autumn. He also developed the menu based on local produce and food from local farmers and grocers. “The first course is a roasted butternut squash with a honey ginger vinaigrette with raw kale and some pumpkin seeds,” Scott said. The main course will include mulligatawny with chicken, rice, seasonal vegetables and special seasonings. A dessert of chocolate avocado maple mouse with bee pollen and oatmeal praline and pear flambé will be served. “The menu that Justin came up with, it’s not only delicious but it’s dairy-free and glutenfree and there’s an option for the main entree to have it vegan,” Slaunwhite said. “It caters to all tastes.” The alternate main course will be a sprouted, tri-coloured quinoa risotto with edamame beans and seasonal vegetables, Scott said. Slaunwhite, whose five-yearold daughter is in her second year at the school, said one of the goals of the event is to invite the community in so they can gain a better appreciation of what goes on at the school, one of two schools of its kind in the public board. The school also serves students from the Ottawa Catholic School Board. “On the way down the halls to the cafeteria people will be able to take a peek into the

Farley Mowat should take Riverside South overflow: board No more room at Manotick, Steve MacLean schools Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

News - New students in parts of Riverside South could attend Barrhaven’s Farley Mowat Public School as early as next September. Overcrowding in the growing community’s one elementary facility, Steve MacLean Public School, has prompted staff to review the area’s existing boundaries to put “temporary stop-gap measures” in place until the provincial government approves funding for a second Riverside South school. Currently, students in Junior Kindergarten to Grade 6 from the new housing developments south of Earl Armstrong Road attend Manotick

Public School. Students from developments east of Limebank Road go to Steve MacLean. But Steve MacLean is fit to burst, and Manotick is not far behind. The aging Manotick school, which only accepts students from JK to Grade 5, currently has about 260 students, with a capacity of 279 – and as the Mahogany development south of Manotick continues to be built out, classrooms are starting to fill up. The school has already accepted 22 students from Riverside South to date. Built in 1942, on a small property, it has little room to add portables if classrooms overflow. Kars on the Rideau Public School further south is also feeling

the pinch as all students transfer to the larger school for grades six to eight. Steve MacLean in Riverside South is even worse off: it has accepted about 40 kids from the housing development east of Limebank to date, despite being more than 200 students above capacity with close to 1,000 students on site. It currently holds the title for largest elementary school in the board, and it relies on eight portables to accommodate everyone. So, what can be done? At a public meeting on Oct. 23, staff proposed that beginning Sept. 2015 new students on the south-west side of Riverside South would attend Farley Mowat Public School in Barrhaven – something that has only recently become a possibility with the opening of the Vimy Memorial Bridge across the Rideau River. The JK-6 school is currently slightly below capacity, with student population expected

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

to decrease somewhat in the next few years, according to a staff report. Staff estimate the change would direct between 15 and 20 students to Farley Mowat in 2015. Manotick and Farley Mowat students would continue to attend Kars on the Rideau for grades seven and eight. On the suburb’s eastern side, new students would continue to enrol at Steve MacLean until 2017, when staff hope to open an elementary school in nearby Findlay Creek. At that point, new students would go there, instead. Riverside South planner Lisa Gowans said these changes aren’t going to lower the population at Steve MacLean any time soon – just stop it from getting any bigger. “It’s spreading the holding of students over different schools (until we can open a

new school),” Gowan said. “It’s a short-term solution to manage enrolment.” The board’s planning manager Karyn Carty Ostafichuk said students from these areas currently enrolled at Steve MacLean or Manotick public schools will almost certainly be allowed to remain there until they graduate – although younger siblings who are not yet enrolled will likely follow the new boundaries. “We very, very rarely grandfather siblings,” Carty Ostafichuk said. Staff are seeking feedback from parents about the change until Nov. 15, so that the proposal can be considered by the committee of the whole in December. Meetings about all minor boundary changes across the board will be held across the

region until mid-November. The next meeting will be held at Trillium Elementary School in Cumberland on Nov. 5, beginning at 7 p.m. Another meeting will be held at A.Y. Jackson Secondary School in Kanata on Nov. 10 at 7 p.m. Minor boundary changes are also proposed for communities in Mer Bleu, Cardinal Creek, Valley Stream, Central Park, Carlingwood and West Carleton. ALTERNATIVE EXPANSION

Also up for discussion at these meetings is a major boundary change to the board’s alternative education program, which is currently only available inside the Greenbelt. See DEMAND, page 29

Ottawa-Carleton District School Board planner Lisa Gowans, left, speaks to Riverside South residents on Oct. 23 about a proposed boundary change that would send some students across the river to Farley Mowat Public School in Barrhaven.

Low demand expected for alternative schools Continued from page 28

The specialty program is offered at five schools. Of the four elementary facilities, two downtown locations – Churchill Alternative School in Westboro and Lady Evelyn Alternative School in Old Ottawa East – will keep their existing boundaries. But staff wants to expand the boundaries for Grant Alternative School near Pinecrest and the Queensway and Riverview Alternative School in Alta Vista to accommodate the entire board. Grant, which currently has a 44 per cent enrolment rate, would add students from areas west of the Rideau River, including RideauGoulbourn, Kanata, Stittsville and West Carleton beginning Sept. 2015. Rideauview has a current enrolment rate of 46 per cent and would add students from areas east of the river, including Osgoode, Glouces-

ter, and Cumberland. A market demand survey conducted in 2013 identified 220 respondents interested in the program. Staff expects demand from the new areas to initially be low; only 12 students currently attend the schools from outside the Greenbelt. But even a small uptake could cost the board as much as $250,000 a year, as the board would be required to provide transportation for those students once the boundary is expanded. With only a few individuals attending across the region, they would likely be taxied to and from school, at a cost of about $15,000 per vehicle per year. Staff said they would try to group students into multi-passenger vehicles where possible. Feedback on all boundary proposals can be submitted to boundaryrevisions@ocdsb.ca or by fax to 613-820-6968 until Nov. 15.

Community survey already building bridges in Herongate Community development worker will soon be hired Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News - After a summer spent checking in with Herongate residents and organizations operating in the community – from police to a property manager – positive change is a-foot to help the at-risk neighbourhood through the hiring of a community development worker. The worker will be hired in November and December, and the hope is the community engagement initiative will continue for another two or three years to help residents there create change. “It’s about building bridges and raising awareness, and in some cases it’s going to mean creating and/or advocating for new and different programs that responds to the community’s needs,” said Kelli Tonner, who is overseeing the community asset-mapping initiative in her role as director of community services with the South-East Ottawa Community Health Centre. Herongate, which is bordered by Heron Road, Alta Vista Drive and Walkley Road, had

been identified as a neighbourhood at risk of additional crime and victimization, as well as lacking in a collaborative crimeprevention approach. It made the headlines in June when two men opened fire on each other on Cedarwood Avenue. “There were definitely residents that expressed concerns around safety and there were residents that expressed concerns about the feel of the neighbourhood and the way the neighbourhood is labelled or the way the neighbourhood is being described,” Tonner said of the 105 residents who were surveyed. Other concerns were raised about property maintenance, service provision and engagement among residents and other service providers. Many residents expressed interest in coming together in the future to ensure more children’s recreation programs. “They’d like to see soccer posts in the park and they’d like to see more lights in the park and better sidewalks and that kind of thing,” she said. At its Oct. 6 board meeting, Crime Prevention Ottawa promised to provide $65,000 to allow the South-East Ottawa Community Health Centre to hire a community engagement worker to work in the neighbourhood over the next year, beginning before the snow flies. “It’ll be more challenging to do some of the work in the mid-

Kelli Tonner is overseeing a community asset-mapping initiative in the Herongate community in her role as director of community services with the South-East Ottawa Community Health Centre. dle of the winter, but we still think a lot of the work (will) include building relationships with the property manager, building relationships between the partners working in the area, continuing to talk to some of the partners we weren’t able to engage over the summer,” Tonner said. The survey also revealed that several of the 21 service providers identified through the project as operating in Herongate – including the Ottawa police, the Heron Road Community Centre, the South-East Ottawa Community Health Centre and the Somali Centre and Family Services – are supportive of

building awareness of programs among residents and partnering with one another. For instance, South-East Ottawa Community Health Centre health worker Nicole Li, who conducted the survey as well as focus groups, heard from organizations that a lot of work is being done with individual families in the neighbourhood, such as on immigration issues. “But what we’ve uncovered is for every family we’re working with there might be three or four or five more that are dealing with the same kinds of issues and concerns and just don’t know who to ask for help or where to go,” Tonner said.

She added that barriers to accessing supports were also identified, including language and transportation, among others. “So any kind of informationsharing that supports people to navigate the system that brings the providers together to say … ‘Why don’t we do some outreach together and support 10 families with that kind of information and support.’” Crime Prevention Ottawa provided $9,100 for the summertime survey, the results of which are now featured in a 28page report that is now being fine-tuned before it is released to the health centre’s community partners. In the meantime, change in Herongate is already in the works. A barbecue was organized for Sept. 27 that brought together 11 agencies, including housing landlord Timbercreek, Ottawa Public Health and more than 500 residents, more than half of them children. It’s an example of what can be done to build and strengthen community relationships, and creating an opportunity for residents to feel connected to their neighbours and their neighbourhood, Tonner said. Another exciting development will see the city install soccer goal posts in Sandalwood Park next spring. The need for the posts was identified by soccer-hungry

Herongate residents before the survey was launched, but Tonner said the initiative is an example of what can happen when residents find their voice and work with community partners to bring about positive change. “There are kids in the park playing soccer all the time, little kids through to young adults,” Tonner said, adding that the health centre reached out to Alta Vita Coun. Peter Hume to make the request. A similar need was identified by Ottawa community police officers and the city’s Youth on the Move recreation program. There is an opportunity for the new community development worker to build relationships with local soccer organizations, community leaders and coaches who might want to hold team tryouts, or bring soccer programming to the park. “You just can’t put soccer posts in a field and expect all of that to happen naturally. There’s work that needs to be done to build the relationships, do the research, figure out how does soccer work in Ottawa,” Tonner said. The next step following the survey and hiring a community development worker will be once again reaching out and ensuring those who live in Herongate are on board. “The goal really is for any change to be resident-led and resident-driven,” she said.

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News - Makayla and her little brother Joshua already have their costumes picked out in preparation for trick-or-treating in their South Keys community on Halloween night. In addition to collecting sweet treats in their neighbourhood on Oct. 31, they are also planning to join other youngsters and families at the second annual South Keys Greenboro Community Association’s haunted house party. “It’s about people coming together and saying hi to their neighbours, and then seeing all of the creepy little (costumed) children, and the pretty ones too,” association president Barbara D’Amico said with a laugh. “It’s just an opportunity for also the South Keys Greenboro Community Association to let people know who we are, what we do, that they are all members. “Every single person in this community is a member of our association and they can come out at any time,” she said of the association’s meetings, which are usually held the third Wednesday of every month. The association, which has a 12-member board of directors, puts on about a half-dozen events each year, as well as programs, including a new monthly seniors Let’s Lunch meal. The association hastily organized its inaugural family friendly children’s Halloween party last year, and organizers were pleased the event drew

Pierre Lamy offers spine-tingling spookiness with his Scary Movie costume, while his children, Makayla, 6, and Joshua, 5, have picked out Halloween costumes that are more on the sweet side. Dressed as Belle from Beauty and the Beast and a police officer, the children plan to attend the second-annual South Keys Greenboro Community Association’s haunted house party at the Greenboro Pavilion on Halloween night. 35 children and their families. “It was actually a fairly good turnout considering we didn’t have a lot of lead-up time,” D’Amico said. “It was sort of a last minute thing we decided to do.” The association is hoping the party Friday night will attract about 40 to 50 costumed children, maybe more. “What we we’re trying to let people know is that as people are doing trick-or-treating, either come by before or during or after your trick-or-treat run,” said D’Amico. “Come by and have a spooky drink, and some cupcakes and take a break from trick-or-treating and enjoy a haunted house. There will be ghoulish

games, tasty treats and spooky thrills during the party. “I don’t want to give it all away,” D’Amico said with a smile, adding there will be activities, games and special treats the children can create themselves. “Then there’s going to be some ickiness, and then prizes associated with getting your hands icky and dirty.” Volunteers don’t try to make the event too scary given the young demographic whom the party is for, said D’Amico. Admission to the children’s haunted house party is free. The event takes place on Oct. 31, from 6:30 to 8 p.m., at the Greenboro Pavilion, located at 14 Tapiola Cres.

Family’s passion for Halloween to draw hundreds of children Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News - At the Thorn house, Halloween is a family affair. Dozens of decorations, from gravestones and zombies to spiders and werewolves, cover the front lawn of the family’s home at 1929 Dauphin Rd., enough to draw hundreds of people a night in the lead up to Halloween. It’s a common sight for the family to look out their front windows and see people inch along in their cars as they try to soak up the spooky sight. Halloween has become a costly time of year for the family. Brian Thorn estimates he’s spent about $10,000 on decorations, many of them robotic. Putting them all out on the large front lawn each year is also labour-intensive, requiring almost 50 hours over more than two weeks. But when Thorn sees the smiles on the faces of children and adults, he says that’s all the reward he needs. “I like the reaction the kids have,” Thorn said, turning on his newest addition, a creepy robotic girl who sings an eerie song as she sits on a swing. “You’d be surprised. I’m 43 and people my age are more into it than the younger kids, believe it or not.”

Erin McCracken/Metroland

Halloween is a family affair for Celine Chartrand-Thorn, left, sons Mathieu, 17, and Riley, 10 and her husband Brian Thorn. About 520 trick-or-treaters went to their home at 1929 Dauphin Ave. last year and hundreds of people drove by each night for a look. Brian and his wife Celine Chartrand-Thorn didn’t start demonstrating their fondness for Halloween until 2011 after they moved into the neighbourhood and finally had the space to express their passion for Christmas, which Thorn said is his favourite holiday.

It was their youngest child, Riley, now 10, who made the initial suggestion of staging a graveyard for their first Halloween in the new house. “We moved in and the neighbours said they didn’t have a lot of kids (for trick-or-treating),” Thorn recalled. “Now they do.”

About 100 kids showed up that first Halloween, and last year the Thorns received about 520 kids. “Now a few of our neighbours that are seniors … they bring candy to us to donate (for Halloween night),” he said. Shelling out enough candy

for that many children is pricey, and he appreciates the help. Celine begins buying sweets on a weekly basis as soon as it hits the store shelves. They expect to hand out six large totes worth of sugary goodness this year and Thorn said, “It’ll all go.” Trick-or-treating at the Thorns is not an experience the neighbourhood kids easily forget. Just last week Thorn went to a nearby grocery store and “there was this little boy, and I didn’t even know the kid, and he said, ‘You’re Mr. Candy Man,’” Thorn said with a laugh. “I found it pretty funny.” Over the past three years, the family’s Halloween graveyard has expanded to include about 20 tombstones. And the yard is full this Halloween season with zombies, a werewolf and other otherworldly beings, many of which Thorn has fashioned from scratch using household items. An oversized spider was made with black PVC pipe, newspaper and insulation spray foam. A fan is the base of a werewolf, allowing it to oscillate back and forth. Another creepy creature was fashioned out of garden hose and a neck massager. Chicken wire, PVC pipe, previous costumes and masks are the go-to materials,

“I buy it online or I make it,” said Thorn, who always keeps a lookout for Halloween goods throughout the year. He also recently bought another lighted inflatable decoration, which has since joined a small army of inflatables stationed on the west side of the house. And about two weeks ago he purchased a generator, which he’ll use to run fog and lightning machines, among other electrical components, on Halloween night, so as not to blow the electrical breaker. The Halloween enthusiasts are also planning to place out a few extra animated Halloween creatures on the big night. “We’ve got the backyard butcher, which is a butcher dressed in overalls and he’s holding on to another head,” said Chartrand-Thorn. “We’ve got a clown in the house, and then we’ve got Mike Meyers who plays the theme song. “He looks real because as he turns his head the eyes kind of move,” she said. “He’s looks like somebody’s in a costume. People wait to see if he’s going to move by himself.” With Halloween almost here, Thorn said he’s looking forward to seeing – and hearing – people’s reactions – the laughter, smiles, even the screams. “Oh yeah,” he said with a grin. “It’s fun.”

Ottawa daycare providers fight Bill 10 Michelle Nash

michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - Ottawa’s independent child care workers want parents in the city to know proposed changes to the Ontario Day Nurseries Act will affect families negatively. The Coalition of Independent Childcare Providers of Ontario held 11 protests across Ontario on Oct. 26 to draw attention to the Liberal government’s proposed childcare modernization act and what it could mean for independent daycare providers. The child care modernization act, Bill 10, will replace the Day Nurseries Act, which was first introduced in 1946 and has not been reviewed since 1983. According to the Liberal government, the changes will reflect child care needs of today’s families. The changes will increase access to spaces in each licensed home child care settings from five to six. According to the province, by allowing daycare providers to take in one more child will add 6,000 licensed spots. It would also change the number of children a daycare provider would be allowed to have under a certain age;

each home daycare would only be able to accept two children under the age of two. The government would also have greater enforcement tools to strengthen safety and clarify programs that do not require a licence. Proposed changes would also require anyone working within the early childhood education field to be registered with the College of Early Childhood Educators, including individuals providing care in unlicensed settings. The Ottawa protest took place at the Human Rights Monument adjacent to city hall, where child care workers, parents and supporters rallied to help spread the word about the changes. “We want people to join the coalition and join the fight,” said Heidi Higgins, co-founder of the coalition. Higgins spoke about what the coalition believes would happen if the changes to the act were implemented in Bill 10. Higgins said is its unnecessary to change the number of children allowed at each licensed facility, such as two children under the age of two as well as the individual daycare provider’s children counting as children in their care. Higgins added the greatest need for

The Coalition of Independent Childcare Providers of Ontario protests across Ontario on Oct. 26 to draw attention to the Liberal government’s proposed childcare modernization act. daycare spots is parents seeking a spot for a child 12 months old – at the usual end of a maternity leave – and with the proposed two-children-under-two rule, daycares will be unable to fill that need and it will ultimately limit the number of spaces available, resulting in what the coalition calls the loss of 140,000

daycare spots in Ontario. Higgins said that most daycare providers worry about the safety of adding another child – six, up from five – and the restriction of having only two children under the age of two will likely result in home daycares closing. She said that will result in the exact opposite to

what the Liberals hope to achieve by reducing spaces. daycare provider Sharon Higginson believes moving from five to six children in a home daycare wouldn’t be safe. “I cannot add a child to the five I already have,” said Higginson. “It would not be fair to the five monkeys I am already taking care of.” Nepean-Carleton MPP and current Progressive Conservative leadership candidate Lisa MacLeod, who spoke at the rally, said she will support independent daycare providers at Queen’s Park, and called into question the current changes the Liberals would like to make. “Mothers will be impacted,” MacLeod said. MacLeod added, along with PC education critic Garfield Dunlop, plan to start a petition asking the current government to listen to daycare providers about what these proposed changes will actually do to daycare in the province. “I want them to listen to you and look you in the eye,” MacLeod said. For more information about the proposed changes visit the coalition’s website at cicpo.ca.

and will benefit many people. A charitable gift to Forever CHEO enhances the quality of life for children and their families in our community and leaves donors with a sense of fulfillment. Leaving a charitable gift also has some interesting tax benefits which are worth considering.

Another misconception is that you have to volunteer your time in order to give back to your community.

Jewish Federation of Ottawa launches Holocaust Education Month jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - A leading human rights expert will talk genocide during the launch of the Jewish Federation of Ottawa’s Holocaust Education Month at the Soloway Jewish Community Centre on Nov. 9. Bernie Faber, originally from Ottawa, now works as the vice-president at Gemini Power Corp. where he helps First Nations reserves in creating hydro projects and other initiatives to sustain economic development. But he said he started his social work degree because of his parents. Faber’s father was a Holocaust survivor. He grew up in a small Polish village called Bocki. It was in eastern Poland near Pialystok and was home to 750 Jews. “My father was the only one left after the end of the Second World War,” Faber said. “His story is not unique, six million Jews were murdered – two out of three European Jews.” Immediately after the war a movement started called Never Again, Faber said. Part of the movement was a set of criteria set out by United Nations that defined what genocide is, in an attempt to prevent it from happening again. “Never again has become again

and again,” Faber said. “Since then we have had the killing fields of Cambodia, the genocide in the former Yugoslavia, Rwanda, Darfur, and the list goes on.” He added his talk entitled The Shoah: Has Never Again Become Again and Again? aims to look at where we are as a people today. “How come the Holocaust isn’t seared into our minds as a warning,” he said. “Evil has a tendency to be muscular, unless we fight back. It tends to repeat itself.” Faber started his career as a social worker with the Ottawa-Carleton Children’s Aid Society as a protection worker, then moved to the Jewish Community Centre before moving to Toronto and taking up the role as CEO of the Canadian Jewish Congress. He said the reason we continually deal with genocide is because of a perception that it’s a problem for “over there.” “Everyone thinks it’s something that happens in Europe or Africa, but we have our own history of genocide,” Faber said of Sir John A MacDonald’s legislation Treaty No. 6, which ultimately starved First Nations tribes in the plains in the west to make way for the railway. Faber said the federation’s Holocaust Education Month is ambitious and one of the best in the country – despite the relatively small population of Ottawa Jews, roughly

15,000. “Organizers go out to schools and churches and provide Ottawans with an excellent opportunity to get educated,” he said. As part of the month-long campaign, the Mayfair Theatre will show a film called Stolperstein on Nov.16, based on the Stolperstein Project, which was started by German artist Gunther Demnig to commemorate victims of the Holocaust

by creating small Stolperstein or small cobblestone-sized brass memorials for a victim of the Holocaust. He embeds them into the concrete in front of homes where individuals, who were targets of the Nazis, were rounded up, taken away and murdered. Each stone begins with “here lived.” There are currently 43,500 memorials. Holocaust Education Month starts

at the community centre on Nov. 9 at 7 p.m. to coincide with Kristallnacht (the Night of Broken Glass) when Jewish businesses and homes in Germany were destroyed by the Nazis in what is considered a precursor to the Holocaust. “The Holocaust is the most notorious and well-documented genocide and we must do what we can to prevent something similar from ever happening again,” Faber said.

Thousands pack Palladium for Tanger Outlet grand opening Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

News - If there was any doubt that Ottawa residents were excited for the grand opening of the Tanger Outlets mall in Kanata on Oct. 17, there isn’t now. Thousands of people traveled from across the city and farther to be some of the first shoppers at a selection of retail stores that Steven Tanger, president and CEO of Tanger Outlets, said are unique in Ottawa. “There is nothing like this that has ever been here before,” he said. “We have 75 of the best brandname stores in the world here. You can buy direct from the manufacturers. You don’t have to pay the middle man their profit, which is great, and you save money. You save a lot of money,” he said. For many, the price of admission was a long wait on Highway 417, inching their way to the parking entrance across the highway from the Canadian Tire Centre, or even a walk across overpasses from blocks away. For some, the lineups didn’t end there, with customers queued up outside of Michael Kors and a few other spots around the mostly outdoor mall. But that didn’t dampen Orléans resident Kathy Schiavo’s experience. “It’s awesome, it’s fantastic,” said Schiavo as she stood in the lineup outside of Michael Kors.

“(The mall) has got deals and new stores in Ottawa. There is finally a place for women to shop.” According to Tanger Outlets’ own stats, their customers tend to be 66 per cent women and have an average annual household income of $71,000. Anne Postma from Kanata was a little bit more reserved, saying her opening-day shopping was, “So far, so good.” Overall, she said the mall is a good thing for Ottawa, and could actually be a little bit bigger. Tanger said he was thrilled by the success of the opening day, but added that Ottawa’s reaction is “pretty normal.” “There are not a lot of outlet centres in the United States and there are certainly not a lot in Canada, so when we open a Tanger centre, there is great excitement and people come and look,” he said. The $115 million mall is expected to create about 1,000 full and part-time retail jobs, said Tanger, while about 700 jobs were created during the construction phase of the centre. Tanger said whether or not the 1,000 projected jobs go to locals is up to the retailers themselves who hire their own employees, while Tanger has its own team, he said. Among the stores like Coach, Guess, Tommy Hilfiger, Puma and Adidas were people dressed up in costume, including a scarecrow, a tree and a ninja turtle. Down one of the outdoor walking lanes was a Coca-Cola machine

Shoppers line up outside of Michael Kors while others take a load off near a fire pit at the new Tanger Outlet mall in Kanata north of the Canadian Tire Centre during the grand opening on Oct. 17. that dispensed free drinks to anyone who would hug it. There was also a skating rink and a climbing wall, with fireworks scheduled for the evening of Oct. 17, and a performance by Olympic figure skating medalists Tessa Virtue and Scott Moire at noon on Oct. 18.

COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP IS THE FOUNDATION OF OCH HOMES

Tanger said the Kanata location at 8555 Campeau Dr. was chosen because of the easy access to Highway 417 and the proximity to the Canadian Tire Centre.

“Everybody knows how to get to the arena, so it’s an easy place to find,” he said.

New preemie association to support parents Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

Community - Nicole Lyons was 33 weeks along in her pregnancy when, without warning, her life changed forever. Arriving at hospital less than an hour after calling in sick to work, Lyons gave birth to her son, Joseph, eight weeks premature. Lyons and her husband were completely unprepared, she said, and suddenly had to learn what having a preemie meant. Nearly two years later, Lyons said she remains unsure whether her son’s early birth will affect him physically or mentally throughout his life. But giving birth to a preemie has shown her how little support there is for families who find themselves facing the many problems related to a premature birth, and so Lyons set out to change that. Beginning in March 2014, Lyons launched the Parents of Preemies Association, and has since delivered 250 support packages to families of newborn preemies still in hospital, as well as having 205 support group mem-

bers. The not-for-profit group is working to fill a gap for families with preemies, said the clinical manager for Ottawa Hospital’s neonatal intensive care unit, Janet Brintnell. “There is not a lot of support or resources currently in the community after (preemies are) discharged,” she said. After her own experience, Lyons said families are in need of more support both in and out of hospital. Lyons said she and her husband arrived at the hospital unprepared for their little boy to arrive. “We didn’t have anything packed,” she said. “We didn’t have a crib set up or anything … We had nothing at the hospital. We never even finished our prenatal class.” But Joseph came anyway, and Lyons gave birth. But the flurry of activity didn’t end there. On top of having to purchase preemie-sized clothes and otherwise preparing their home for Joseph’s arrival, Lyons worried over the many complications that are common in preemie births. Those include feeding issues, re-

flux from underdeveloped stomachs, weight loss, brain bleeds and bradycardia, which is when the heartrate gets too slow. “Watching your baby turn blue is the most terrifying experience ever, and that’s really common,” said Lyons. Often, parents aren’t allowed to touch their baby, which can cause another kind of trauma for the parents. It was a month before Joseph could finally go home for good, she said, and even then, she and her husband’s worries weren’t over. “(Preemies) have very low immune systems,” she said, meaning parents are isolated from their friends and family while they deal with the rigours of caring for their child, feeding them every few hours in an effort to keep their weight up. Even now, nearly two years later, Lyons is unsure whether her son is finished dealing with being born premature. The couple was also left dealing with their own trauma from the situaStephanie Mason Photography tion, she said. Nicole Lyons sits with her nearly two-year-old son, Joseph, who was See PARENTS, page 43

born eight weeks premature. Lyons has since started an organization dedicated to supporting parents with preemies. R0012850759

Cardamom honey cake a sweet treat Lifestyle - Cardamom is a warm earthy spice that suits a coffee cake. No one will know sweet potato is part of the batter, providing moistness and texture. It also gives it a nice golden glow. Serve warm or cool. Preparation time: 15 minutes. Baking time: 30 to 35 minutes. Serves 12. Ingredients

• 1 sweet potato Topping • 125 ml (1/2 cup) chopped pecans • 50 ml (1/4 cup) packed brown sugar • 2 ml (1/2 tsp) ground cardamom Batter • 375 ml (1-1/2 cups) all-purpose flour • 15 ml (1 tbsp) ground cardamom • 5 ml (1 tsp) baking powder • 2 ml (1/2 tsp) each baking soda and salt • 125 ml (1/2 cup) butter, softened • 125 ml (1/2 cup) liquid honey • 2 eggs Preparation

Scrub the sweet potato and trim off

the ends. Pierce it with a small knife in several places and microwave on high for six to eight minutes or until tender, turning over partway through. When it’s cool enough to handle, scoop out the flesh and mash it with a fork until smooth. Measure out 250 ml (one cup) and set it aside. For the topping: In a small bowl, combine the pecans, brown sugar and cardamom and set aside. To make the batter, combine flour, cardamom, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. In a large bowl, beat the butter and honey together with an electric mixer until it’s light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until the mixture is smooth. Stir in the sweet potato, blending well. Stir in the dry ingredients until they are just moistened. Spread the batter into a greased 2.5-litre (nine-inch) square cake pan. Sprinkle evenly with the topping and bake in a 180 C (350 F) oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in centre comes out clean. Let cool in the pan on a wire rack. Foodland Ontario

Parents often feel left out of initial baby care Continued from page 41

Cardamom is a an interesting spice to add to this coffee cake.

“Many families actually deal with post-traumatic stress disorder, and it goes untreated.” That is one of the issues the Parents of Preemies Association is trying to help with, providing a support network for new preemie parents to families. The group also regularly sends care packages to parents unexpectedly in the hospital without the items they need, like shampoo and hand sanitizer, so that they can spend more time with their babies rather than having to get these items themselves. The organization is also working to create libraries at the neonatal intensive care units at CHEO and the General campus, to be named after Caden, a baby boy who died after being born at 25 weeks. The libraries will be stocked with children’s books that par-

ents can read to their children, said Lyons. “A lot of times you can’t hold and you can’t touch your baby, so parents often feel left out of the care of their child, which is so detrimental,” she said. Lyons said the goal of the organization is to support parents going through an extremely difficult time. “We can’t take away that their child is in the hospital or that they are at home and they are isolated and all these other issues that are going on, but we can support them, and if there are bigger problems, (we can) connect them with other people that are going through the same thing,” she said. The group is currently competing for funding through the Aviva Community Fund competition. To vote, go to avivacommunityfund.org/ideas/acf19502.

News - Starting Oct. 31, the annual symbol of remembrance will be available to pin on your lapel. Gov. Gen. David Johnston helped officially launch the 2014 national poppy campaign at Rideau Hall on Oct. 21, receiving the first poppy from Tom Eagles, Dominion president of the Royal Canadian Legion. “Poppies are symbols of remembrance, of the members of the Canadian Armed Forces who have fought and sacrificed throughout our country’s history,” Johnston said. “We wear them to honour and remember all that our soldiers have done, and all that they have struggled to achieve.” Larry Murray, grand president of the Legion, thanked Johnston for his ongoing support of the poppy campaign and for accepting the first poppy of the year. “Veterans and fallen heroes alike may take comfort that their sacrifice has not be done in

vain,” Murray said. “By wearing the poppy it shows the mutual understanding of the debt of gratitude we have.” Officially adopted in Canada in 1921 by the Great War Veterans’ Association, the predecessor of the Legion, poppies are recognized as the national symbol of remembrance for the 117,000 Canadian men and women who gave their lives during military service around the world. Each year approximately 18 million poppies are distributed in communities across Canada. Handy tips to keep your poppy in place: • Weave the poppy in and out • Use a rubber earring back to keep it in place • Use a bit of duct tape to keep the poppy from moving • Pierce it through the top of a button hole • Take a piece of rubber eraser and use that to secure the poppy in place

FINAL REGULAR SEASON HOME GAME

Electricity rates to rise Nov. 1 Peak period cost of hydro has risen 8.4 per cent in 2014 Steph Willems

steph.willems@metroland.com

News - The Ontario Energy Board has released details on how much more Ontario residents will be paying to keep the lights on this winter. On Nov. 1, when the province’s grid switches to its winter time-ofuse schedule, residents will see off-

peak rates rise to 7.7 cents per kilowatt hour, an increase of 0.2 cents or 2.7 per cent. Mid-peak rates will rise 0.2 cents to 11.4 cents/kWh (and increase of 1.8 per cent), and on-peak rates (those from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m., and 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. ) will see the biggest jump, up 0.5 cents to 14 cents/kWH – a 3.7per cent rise. In May of this year, off/mid/peak rates rose 4.2 per cent, 2.8 per cent, and 4.7 per cent, respectively. Taking the November increase into consideration, hydro rates in Ontario will have risen 51 per cent over the past four years during onpeak times, and 41 per cent for both off-peak and mid-peak periods. “That was way to easy!”

The energy board states on its website, “Prices are reviewed and may change every six months based on an updated board forecast and any accumulated difference between the amount that customers paid for electricity and the amount paid to generators in the previous period.” Numerous factors affect hydro rates, such as the wholesale cost of gas that feeds generating stations, subsidies for wind and solar producers, the exporting of surplus power to lower-cost jurisdictions, and power plant refurbishments. The province’s Long Term Energy Plan, released in December of last year, forecasted a 42 per cent increase in hydro rates by 2018. “I just clicked and saved 90%”

preparing for the world tournament with us.” Having a player out of the province is one of the reasons the team needs help with fundraising. Lynn and Breanne have played at world junior championships. The team hopes to progress into the women’s competitive ranks. “We hope that we will continue. We would love to meet up when we are all on the same age category. “For now we’re going to enter a lot of bonspiels to prepare ourselves for February,” says Lynn. “We have already played in three events as a team, also have Nov. 1 plus two other competitive events. The Curling for a Cause bonspiel is helping us raise the money we need to prepare for the world competition.” Each team plays two games in the Nov. 1 bonspiel. “It is difficult to find sponsorships in curling,” says Lynn. “Kelly MacNaull and Hunt Club are generously putting on this event for us.” Curling for a Cause Founder Kelly MacNaull was the Marketing Director for CHEO BBQ for many years prior to launching

the bonspiel fundraiser. “I love doing fundraising and wanted to do something charitable on my own. My husband and I started curling last year and I wanted to tie my event into that,” she says. “Curling is a great sport, very social. It’s gaining in popularity and the success of the Olympic team has helped too. People are starting to realize it is not just a hobby, but an actual sport.” The bonspiel can hold up to 24 teams, with about 16 registered. “Curling has just opened for the year,” says Kelly. “We are still looking for last minute registrations. The bonspiel is open to all curlers in Ottawa area. This is just to go out and have fun and help our girls raise some of the $42,000 they need to represent our country in the world games. They could do very well.” For more information on Curling for a Cause, contact Kelly MacNaull at 613-850-3716 or by email to kmacnaull@hotmail.com. For more information on sponsoring this women’s team, please contact Doug Kreviazuk at krev@ sympatico.ca.

The painting Menin Gate at Midnight is flanked by the Menin Gate Lions, recovered from the Belgian battlefield of the First World War, are seen at the Canadian War Museum. The artifacts, on loan from Australia, factor prominently into an upcoming exhibition.

Menin Gate Lions arrive at Canadian War Museum Steph Willems

steph.willems@metroland.com

News - One of the centrepieces of an upcoming exhibition at the Canadian War Museum is already drawing visitors to its ethereal presence. Greeting visitors to the exhibition are the Menin Gate Lions, two stone lions dating to the 17th century, which once flanked the gate to the city of Menin, Belgium. Allied soldiers marched between the lions on their way to the First World War battlefields at Ypres, where hundreds of thousands died during a series massive, drawn-out battles throughout the conflict. The battle-scarred statues were recovered at the war’s end. They are currently on loan from Australia, where

they were donated to the Australian War Memorial as a token of friendship. The location of the gate at Menin was turned into a massive memorial arch and hall of memory in 1927, naming and commemorating the 54,896 Commonwealth soldiers who died in the nearby battles and whose bodies were never found or identified. Among those commemorated are 6,983 Canadians. Between the stone lions in the museum’s exhibit hangs the massive Menin Gate at Midnight, a 1927 painting by Australian artist Will Longstaff. It depicts a group of ghostly soldiers marching past the illuminated Menin Gate memorial under darkened, turbulent skies. The painting is on loan from the collection of the

Australian War Memorial. “The Menin Gate Lions and Longstaff’s painting of the Menin Gate Memorial in Belgium represent resilience, remembrance and the enduring bond between nations, like Canada and Australia, that stood together at Flanders,” stated James Whitman, director general of the Canadian War Museum. “We are grateful to the Australian War Memorial and to the people of Australia for so generously sharing their national treasures with Canadians.” The exhibition, Fighting in Flanders – Gas. Mud. Memory., opens on Nov. 7 and runs until April 26, 2015. The exhibit is a partnership between the museum and the Memorial Museum Passchendaele 1917 in Belgium.

Gov. Gen. David Johnston joined Cees Kole, ambassador of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and a host of Canadian

and International historians at the museum to kick off the three-part lecture series, titled “From Memory to Remembrance”. The first lecture, which followed the meeting, will be followed be two others in Calgary and Fredericton. “It is only the passage of time and the circumstances of

war and peace that separates us – in our minds and hearts, there is nothing that separates us,” said Kole. “We are deeply grateful to our brave liberators, many of them who had to pay the ultimate price for our freedom.” Kole called attention to the presence of retired major gen-

served in the campaign. “We are so indebted to those brave Canadians,” said Johnston. “Many were killed or wounded, and we owe it to them to know the history of the war, and to work together for peace.” Johnston travelled to the Netherlands last year, where he visited Dutch volunteers who were preserving memories and history of the liberation in villages and towns across the country. “To have the sacrifice of Canadian soldiers so faithfully remembered, and honoured, means so much to our veterans and to all of us in Canada,” he said. “Canada and the Netherlands are great friends, and we share so much in common. The liberation is an important part of our story – it’s an example of two peoples working together to defend the values we hold so dear. May the memory of this difficult time in our history inspire us to cooperate in the building of a more just and peaceful world today, and in the future.”

Pet Adoptions Are Reptiles Right for You? Now more commonly viewed as cool rather than creepy, it seems reptiles are an increasingly popular choice for people who are in the market for a new pet. Reptiles certainly do have some qualities that make them lower maintenance than some other types of pets: they don’t need to be walked, they don’t shed (at least not fur!), some reptiles need to be fed only once a week or so, and they generally don’t make much noise.

NANOOkA ID#A167648 Nanooka (A167648) is a playful and social Siberian husky mix looking for her happy ever after with an outdoorsy companion. Nanooka is looking for an active owner who will take her out for plenty of walks and who likes to throw a ball as much as she loves to catch it! She is an intelligent and energetic pooch who is eager to learn and happiest when playing with other pups. Nanooka gets along well with dogsavvy kitties and enjoys the company of other pooches. She likes meeting new people and would love more than anything to be in a forever home with a human companion she can be a faithful friend to for years to come.

That being said, reptiles are by no means maintenance-free pets. They come with their own unique set of needs and challenges. Most reptiles sold at pet stores are exotic species – animals that are not native to this area and instead have been transported here by humans over hundreds of years. The Ottawa Humane Society believes that the best place for wild or exotic animals like reptiles is in their natural environment because it is very challenging to meet all of the needs of these animals outside of their natural home. Reptiles often have very specific housing requirements in terms of light, heat, and humidity, which require careful and frequent monitoring to ensure your pet is comfortable and healthy in their environment. Many reptile

species can live for 20 years or longer, making them a long term commitment. Certain reptiles can grow quite large over time and will require larger enclosures as they age. For some larger species of reptiles, these enclosures can sometimes cost upwards of $500. Finally, a number of reptiles eat things that people don’t always enjoy keeping around the house, such as live insects or rodents. And, like any other pet, reptiles should be seen regularly by a veterinarian to ensure they are healthy. This combination of food, enclosures, accessories, vet visits, and an impacted hydro bill can add up to quite a costly investment. In addition to cats, dogs, and other furry and feathered pets, the OHS also receives reptiles that are brought to us as strays or owner surrenders. Although the OHS doesn’t offer reptiles for adoption, we work with community partners to find safe, appropriate placements for the reptiles we receive. The OHS encourages anyone who is considering adding a reptile to their family to take the time to research the needs of these intricate species and ensure that owning a pet reptile is a commitment you and your family are ready to make.

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:

News – Seventy years ago, bloodied, wet Canadian soldiers were pushing against fierce opposition towards their main objective - the German-occupied Netherlands. In October of 1944, with the Belgian port of Antwerp still under the watch of enemy guns and the failure of a paratroopled advance a month earlier, it became clear a hard-fought ground campaign was the only way to retake the Netherlands. Troops of the First Canadian Army and 2nd Canadian Army Corps, along with their Allies and armoured divisions, slogged across muddy and intentionally flooded ground throughout the fall, winter, and spring of 194445 to liberate Dutch residents from Nazi occupation. For this service, a strong bond formed between Canada and the Netherlands – one that continues to this day. Representatives from both countries met at the Canadian War Museum on Oct. 16 to

eral Richard Rohmer, Canada’s most decorated citizen, who flew a P-51 Mustang fighter during the war. The high-speed reconnaissance runs Rohmer made over the Netherlands provided valuable information that helped ground forces push further into occupied territory. “We don’t want to be cut off from the past - this is especially true if the past is shared,” said Kole. “This is why we appreciate our partnership with the Canadian War Museum. Generally speaking, it is quite a task to get history right. Soldiers face the fog of war, (while) historians often face the fog of dust, time, misinterpretations, partial truths, and sometimes even outright lies, but it is crucial that history be pursued. History stands tall between memory and remembrance.” Kole said it was important that a country’s residents not become indifferent to the sacrifices of citizens who came before them. Johnston said he was pleased to have the opportunity to learn and honour the Canadians who
