EMC sports - Fifteen-yearold Richard Parker hasn’t lived the life of an average Canadian boy.

From losing his father while living in a refugee camp in Ghana to moving to Ottawa’s Ledbury Banff neighbourhood, where he lived until he was 13, Richard’s life has been one of hardship and survival.

The south Ottawa neighbourhood was plagued by violence and drug and gang activity, something that could have easily led Parker to fall into the wrong crowd.

But he chose a different path.

Richard was a Grade 4 student at Charles Hulse Public School when teacher Grade 6 teacher Patrick Mascoe discovered the boy had a great talent.

“One day I was walking out on the schoolyard and I saw this little boy standing on top of the soccer ball,” said Mascoe.

It was then that Mascoe approached Richard and asked him if he could enter a crosscountry meet.

“He took off and ran as fast as he could and took a big lead on everyone, and I was like, I am going to have to pick him up later because he was going to be dead tired by the time he finishes the two-kilometre run,” said Mascoe.

To Mascoe’s surprise, Richard didn’t give up the lead and ended up winning the race.

The event gives participants the opportunity to outdo each other’s costumes and gruesome makeup.

No big promises in draft city budget Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - The City of Ottawa’s “stay the course” draft budget means the average homeowner in the urban area would pay an extra $67 on the municipal portion of their tax bill next year.

It’s the smallest tax increase in six years and at 2.09 per cent, it falls below city council’s commitment to keep tax hikes at 2.5 per cent each year.

As the mayor indicated before the budget was released,

it’s a plan that mostly sees city services maintained and the continuation of existing projects, but not a lot of new spending.

“There are many items contained in budget 2013 that will assist citizens in each and every ward and each and every neighbourhood right across this wonderful city,” Mayor Jim Watson said during his lengthy speech to council before tabling the budget.

Community design plans promised for areas around future light-rail stations would

be funded to the tune of $300,000.

Two new city plans approved last year – the older adult plan and the arts, heritage and culture plan – will get $500,000 and $1 million respectively towards their implementation.

The city plans to boost funding to fight the emerald ash borer by $975,000, bringing annual funding for pesticide treatments and replanting to $1.8 million.

There is also money for 16 new crossing guards.

Remembr ance

Every November 11th, Canadians pause in a silent moment of remembrance for the men and women who served their country during wartime and in the cause of peace. More than 1,500,000 Canadians served overseas—in the First World War (1914-18), the Second World War (1939-45), and the Korean War (1950-53). More than 100,000 died. We honour their sacrifice and the sacrifices of our soldiers today, who serve so we may live in peace.

city council is set to approve the budget on Nov. 28.

TRANSPORTATION

Of course, the major transportation project in 2013 will be the start of construction on the first section of the city’s $2.1-billion light-rail transit system, including a tunnel under the downtown.

The city is also proposing to sprinkle $4.9 million worth of traffic-signal changes around the city.

Award winners Ron Dizy, President and CEO ENBALA Power Networks (Small Company of the Year); Laura Formusa, President and CEO Hydro One (Leader of the Year) and Bryce Conrad, President and CEO Hydro Ottawa.

Hydro Ottawa is thrilled to be recognized by its peers as the 2012 Large Company of the Year at the Ontario Energy Association Excellence Awards.

The award recognizes Hydro Ottawa’s achievements in the energy sector in key business areas such as financial operations and management, customer service, distribution and environmental leadership.

“These are all critical business areas, especially for an energy utility delivering an essential service to the nation’s capital,” said Bryce Conrad, Hydro Ottawa’s President and Chief Executive Officer.

Hydro Ottawa’s accomplishments include strong financial results, with net income and dividends consistently exceeding expectations, and shareholder value increasing by $135 million over the past four years. During this time, Hydro Ottawa’s electricity distribution rates have been stable and among the most affordable in the province. At the same time, Hydro Ottawa has been one of the top performers in the industry in delivering supply reliability.

These results have contributed to solid customer satisfaction scores recognized by the Electricity Distributors Association and most recently

by Chartwell Inc. at its Customer Experience Conference in California, where finalists included major U.S. utilities Southern California Edison, San Diego Gas and Electric, PPL Electric and NIPSCO. “Consistently improving the customer relationship is a very strong focus for us. In addition to affordability and reliability, it is imperative that we also provide customers with ever-increasing value,” added Mr. Conrad.

During his acceptance speech, Mr. Conrad acknowledged Hydro Ottawa’s employees as a major reason for the company’s continuing success.

“They are highly skilled, dedicated, experienced, and engaged in achieving our goals. They are also community focused, generous with their charitable donations and quick to volunteer when we participate in community events,” he said.

In thanking the Ontario Energy Association for sponsoring the award, Mr. Conrad promised that “Hydro Ottawa will do our best to be back on this podium in the future.”

The Airport Parkway & the Sawmill Creek Constructed Wetlands: Constr u Pedes ction of th trian/C e ycling main towe r Bridg e is pr of the Airp ogress o ing w rt Parkway ell.

Improving Safety and Increasing Pedestrian & Cycling Access in this Important North-South Corridor

Dear River Ward Residents: I hope that you and your families are enjoying a wonderful autumn. As construction progresses on the Airport Parkway Pedestrian/Cycling Bridge, many residents have asked me for more information about the Sawmill Creek Constructed Wetlands area, which parallels the Airport Parkway between Walkley Road and Hunt Club Road.

Sawmill Creek Constructed Wetlands: An Urban Jewel As a rookie City Councillor, one of the first projects I sunk my teeth into was the building of the Sawmill Creek Constructed Wetlands, which officially opened in September 2007. This innovative stormwater management facility is over 2 km long and serves a catchment area of 1,418 hectares. It is designed to collect and treat stormwater runoff from three main sources: Sawmill Creek, Cahill Creek and the Plante Drive storm sewer, before it flows into the Rideau River.

This area is home to 1000’s of aquatic and terrestrial plants, trees and shrubs and various fauna. It also houses an important component of the north-south pedestrian and cycling network.

As part of the initial wetlands construction, I worked closely with City staff to make certain that service roads in the area were accessible to pedestrians and cyclists. I also ensured that design work to create an accessible pathway was completed.

In September 2010, thanks to contributions from the Federal and Provincial governments, the final link to the pedestrian/cycling network surrounding the wetlands was officially opened. This safe and accessible pathway system now fully connects Hunt Club Road and Walkley Road.

This year, the Draft 2013 Budget proposes to further connect this network from Walkley Road to Brookfield Road.

Thank you to Mayor Jim Watson and staff for their support in adding this important piece of infrastructure to our pedestrian and cycling network, which runs beside the Airport Parkway.

Airport Parkway: Busy and Important North-South Connection The Airport Parkway is a vital north-south link in Canada’s Capital for residents and our visitors. To address safety concerns raised by drivers and cyclists, in 2007, I worked with traffic engineers to install streetlights between Brookfield Road and Hunt Club Road. A “micro-surfacing” upgrade was also applied to the surface of the Parkway to provide improved skid resistance.

My office also works closely with the Ottawa Police Service to address safety issues. As recently as October 17, 2012, Chief Charles Bordeleau and I conducted an on-site review of this area and noted the importance of proactive police enforcement. This is especially vital near the construction site of the pedestrian/cycling bridge.

Airport Parkway Pedestrian and Cycling Bridge: An Accessible & Safe Crossing For many years, residents have highlighted the need for a safe connection from the Hunt Club community to the east side of the Airport Parkway. In 2009, I was pleased to deliver funding for the Environmental Assessment for this connection. One year later, in 2010, City Council approved funding for the design and construction of the new bridge.

Construction of the bridge is well under way. Following a successful re-pouring of the lower main tower, next steps include constructing the main bridge deck that spans the Airport Parkway and all other miscellaneous construction activities.

I continue to work with staff to ensure that every measure is taken to build this connection to the safest and highest quality standards.

As always, I appreciate hearing from you and encourage you to keep in touch with me as it allows me to serve you better.

It is an honour and a privilege to be your strong voice at City Hall.

“Leather Coats MUST GO” 70% off

EMC news - Twenty trucks were taken off the road following a one-day blitz in south Ottawa after Ottawa police and OPP teamed up with the Ontario ministries of Transportation, the Environment and Finance to crack down on unsafe commercial vehicles.

The blitz targeted unfit vehicles, insecure loads, improper emissions and unauthorized fuel.

One hundred and twenty nine vehicles were pulled over and inspected on Oct. 24.

A police press release said that these joint-agency blitzes would continue in and around Ottawa on a rotational basis, in an effort to enforce the commercial motor vehicle regulations of Ontario.

Locations of the blitzes will change each time, depending on the amount of heavy truck activity from community to community.

A similar campaign but this time targeting drivers using hand-held devices was also held on Oct. 26.

A traffic enforcement team with an officer in civilian clothing, monitored the intersections of Bank Street and Champlain Avenue and Wood-

roffe Avenue and Iris Street.

The officer was holding a sign saying, “I am Const. --of the Ottawa Police Service.

If you are talking on your hand held cellphone, you are about to get a ticket.”

When the officer observed an infraction they provided details to nearby uniformed officers. Distracted drivers were pulled over and issued a ticket.

A total of 111 provincial offence notices were issued: 32 for operating a motor vehicle while using a hand held communication device, 33 for speeding and 56 tickets for other Highway Traffic Act related offences. The fine for using a hand-held device while driving is $155.

“Talking on your hand-held phone while driving is not worth risking your safety or that of others using the roadway,” Sgt. Al Ferris said in a statement.

“If you don’t have a handsfree device, pull over or hang up the phone.”

The Ottawa Police Service will continue these enforcement efforts randomly on a rotational basis, in an attempt to reduce the number of drivers who contravene the handsfree legislation.

sacrifice,” said Richard, which is why he decided to leave his home to go to Toronto, where he now lives in foster care.

“One of the sacrifices I made was to leave Ottawa, move to Toronto, and live with someone I barely knew at 13.

It is not easy,” he said.

Richard was a member of the U15 Team Ontario that won gold at the 2012 national All-Stars tournament this past summer in Newfoundland.

He is just doing fantastic ever since, said Mascoe.

INSPIRATION

Mascoe hopes Parker’s story can inspire more kids from vulnerable neighourhoods.

“He is a kid out of Ledbury who has really turned his life around,” he said.

“I think he would be just a

great model for the other kids in Ledbury. I am really proud of him.”

Mascoe said the future looks good for Richard.

“Life for him has never been easy. He has gone through a hard time, but he’s been able to overcome and work hard,” said Mascoe.

Richard recalls that when he lived in Ledbury it was known as one of the worst neighbourhoods in Ottawa.

“Most of the kids my age were joining gangs. It was bad living there, and a couple of times we could hear gunshots,” he said.

“If I didn’t have Mascoe and soccer, I think my life would have been different now.

I chose a different path at a young age. I chose to play soccer and to go to school.”

will encourage young women to seek and find the treatment they need.

“With the generous support of the community, great things happen,” said Dr. Jack Kitts, president and CEO of the Ottawa Hospital. “Mental health programs are able to target vulnerable populations where they can make a real difference in an individual’s life.”

Tim Kluke, president and CEO of The Ottawa Hospital Foundation thanked Bell for its gift adding that the funding will improve adolescent mothers’ access to mental health care and help facilitate specialized assessment, treatment and service delivery to pregnant and post-partum youth.

Mirko Bibic, Bell’s executive vice president, said his

company was pleased to lend its support to the Ottawa Hospital Mental Health Program and the 60 other community organizations across the country that are part of the Bell Let’s Talk Community Fund this year.

“Each of these groups is truly making a difference at the grassroots level. We’re very proud to be helping them provide much needed resources to enhance mental health services and programs for those affected by mental illness,” he said.

Often invisible, mental illness is one of the most pervasive health issues in the country with far-reaching consequences for every Canadian.

“One in five people will experience a form of mental illness at some point and most will be reluctant to talk to a co-worker, friend or family member about their struggle, let alone seek treatment,” the release said.

The Ottawa Hospital’s mental health program for teen mothers received a major boost when Bell announced a donation of $50,000.

The money will be used specifically to create a new program to help high-risk pregnant youth – through the Bell Let’s Talk community fund grant.

A release from the Ottawa Hospital said the funding from Bell will help set up a satellite mental health clinic at St. Mary’s Home for teenaged mothers.

“One in five pregnant women experience mental health disorders and that number is even higher in adolescent mothers,” the release said.

While Richard was a star in almost every sport, soccer was his greatest love.

Mascoe saw Richard’s determination and offered to help him join a soccer club.

“I connected with him and I got him in my class, with hopes of taking him as far as we could in soccer,” said Mascoe.

“His parents at the time were not overly supportive; he was kind of left on his own and that is when I started taking him for soccer practices.”

Making a decision to stick to soccer is one Richard said he will never regret.

“I have been playing soccer for a while now. Mascoe is the one that has been helping me out,” he said.

Richard started off with Ottawa Internationals Soccer Club.

“While there, my coach thought I was too advanced.

He suggested I try out with the Ottawa Fury,” he said.

In his first season with the Fury, Richard was the Super Y-League top scorer.

Super Y-League, is a North America-wide league that pits some of the continent’s best young players against each other in league play.

“We had a great squad and we won most of our games,” he said.

His involvement with the Ottawa Fury made it possible for him to compete regularly and allowed him to secure a position on Team Ontario.

At age 13, Richard moved from Ledbury to Toronto in order to train full time with the provincial team while at the same time attending a special sports school.

Columnist on a homework strike

I

f you’ll forgive me, I haven’t slept much in the past few weeks. My three-month-old, like her siblings before her, is consistently sleeping in 10hour stretches.

My six-year-old, on the other hand, is suffering night terrors – a condition that affects approximately six per cent of kids in his age group, thought to be caused by stress and fatigue.

When he’s thrashing about uncontrollably in the dark, he’s screaming, “I’m not doing the homework. No! No! No!” Now, I don’t know if this is the only thing that’s playing on his little unconscious brain. Six-year-olds have a lot on their minds these days.

But certainly, the daily battles over his one hour of Grade 1 homework is having some negative impact.

Last week, I wrote about some of the creative ways we were going to tackle homework. We have failed. We’re as stressed and frustrated as ever about homework. And apparently, we’re not the only ones.

The value of homework has been widely debated in the media these past few weeks, in the wake of French President Francois Hollande’s call for a nationwide ban on the practice.

The head of the French Parents Association, JeanJacques Hazon, summed it

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse up well in a clip interpreted on CBC’s The Current on Oct. 18: “Forcing (children) to read the same page over and over is useless and it puts inherently fragile children under enormous pressure.

It stresses kids out, turning them against school forever, and they bring all that stress home.”

A 2008 study out of the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education at the University of Toronto appears to affirm these assertions.

The authors of “Homework Realities: A Canadian Study of Parental Opinions and Attitudes” surveyed more than 1,000 caregivers of 2,072 children across the province.

The majority of parents surveyed said they believe homework puts undue stress on children and families, takes away from family time and forces kids to be sitting still when they should be out running around.

Moreover, the study found that the more homework children are exposed to in the early years of school, the less likely they are to ap-

proach it with enthusiasm in later grades.

To its credit, in the wake of the study and another similar study of teachers’ opinions on homework, The Toronto District School Board all but banned homework for primary school children, excepting special projects and daily reading.

Other school boards have mandated what is widely known in education circles as “the 10-minute rule” – take the grade level of the child and multiply it by 10.

But timing out the homework may not be the only answer.

One of the problems with the 10-minute rule, as noted by one of the study’s authors, Dr. Linda Cameron, on CBC’s The Current last month, is that teachers frequently miscalculate the time it takes various children to do the assigned homework.

“We had parents saying, as young as kindergarten, children were taking hours to do what was assigned,” Cameron told the CBC. And as author Annie Murphy Paul noted in the New York Times last year, “the

quantity of students’ homework is a lot less important than its quality.”

True. And perhaps this is why I don’t necessarily support an all-out ban on homework.

I’ve witnessed homework that works well and homework that doesn’t.

As proponents of the practice suggest, homework that is well-designed and timelimited can have a positive impact on autonomous learning and the development of time management skills.

Plus, parental involvement in school work helps children to see that what goes on in the classroom all day is important and valid in everyday life.

But my six-year-old?

Despite his love of literature and the fact that he is among the strongest readers in his class, it takes him an hour to read through the list of monosyllables each evening. (And probably another half-hour to whine about it).

When asked what he’d rather be doing, he answers “read real books.”

He simply has too much homework.

And in my mind, it doesn’t meet the quality standard. So we’re officially on a homework strike.

OK, maybe it’s more of a “work-to-rule.” He reads 10 minutes of monosyllables per day and then we close the homework books and open the real ones.

EMC news – The Riverview Park neighbourhood is worried the Industrial Avenue and Neighbourhood Way intersection could soon turn into an accident-prone zone if nothing is done to improve it.

“When you are making a left turn onto Industrial Avenue from Neighbourhood Way, it is a major accident looking for a place to happen,” said Karin Keyes Endemann, president of the Riverview Park Community Association.

Speaking at the association’s annual general meeting on Oct. 24, Endemann said improving the intersection is something they need to work on over the coming year.

“This is a disaster of a corner and we need to resolve this issue, especially with the senior home going in there,” she said.

Endemann added that new developments coming up near Riverview Park have neighbouring residents worried about increased traffic pressures in a community that is

already heavily travelled.

“These new developments are starting to put pressure on our community, not only because of the size of the buildings and their locations but because of the traffic that is using our side streets as a way to get to and from these buildings,” she said.

Last month, nervous residents concerned about motorists speeding in their neighbourhoods joined Alta Vista Coun. Peter Hume in a speed blitz on three streets identified as problems in the ward.

Blair Street in Riverview Park was one of the streets where a checkpoint was mounted to engage drivers and encourage them to drive with care.

Hume encouraged Riverview Park residents to identify places in their community that need attention and notify him.

The speeding blitz was the latest step in Hume’s safe streets initiative.

The safe streets initiative responds to traffic concerns brought forward by Alta Vista residents.

In this coming year, Endemann and her team will be working towards helping manage intensification and development, improve public transit to Riverview Park, maintain rinks and contribute to Industrial Avenue’s community development plan.

“This is a major issue for us.

We really need to have a community design plan for Industrial Avenue so that it doesn’t end up looking like Merivale Road,” said Endemann.

“We want it to be cyclist and pedestrian friendly.”

OPINION EDITORIAL

Smart development is planned development

F

or the most part, the suburbs have gotten off relatively easy from the city’s push for intensification – a plan intended to prevent, or at least allay, urban sprawl.

So when a developer comes forward with a proposal for a large-scale commercial development – a plan that allows for high density residential buildings – it makes no sense to throw up roadblocks.

The Kanata Town Centre

lands are a perfect fit for high-density housing, says Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson.

We couldn’t agree more.

Urbandale Corp. is asking the city to rezone 10 hectares of land north of Highway 417 and east of the Kanata Centrum and is looking to create roughly 111,000 square metres of commercial space as well as hundreds of housing units.

Last week, more than 80 members of the community

packed a meeting room at the Kanata Seniors Centre for the councillor’s monthly ward council meeting – many of them concerned about the Urbandale proposal.

We can certainly sympathize.

Over the past decade, communities across the city have been hit with a slew of spot rezoning requests from developers seeking permission to build highrises and midrises not in keeping with

the various neighbourhoods’ character.

For instance, a current plan to build a midrise in Beaverbrook has many residents up in arms, saying the building doesn’t fit in with the community.

One of the leaders of those opposing the Beaverbrook midrise, Bill Teron, has repeatedly suggested the Kanata Town Centre lands as a perfect spot for a midrise or highrise.

That’s why the land was

set aside for future retail, office and high-density development by planners with the former city of Kanata.

If not the Kanata Town Centre lands, where?

The area will eventually have two Transitway stations on its doorstep, and runs along an eight-lane highway.

If Kanata – or any other suburb – is to incorporate intensification and large-scale commercial development, this is the way to do it.

If the city rejects propos-

als such as this it inflates the argument that people are NIMBYs whenever they oppose developments that don’t fit the character of their neighbourhoods.

Development has to go somewhere.

Better it go where pipes, schools, bus routes, garbage collection and other city services already exist, so we don’t have to pay for more.

This isn’t a rubber-stamp process – the development applications must keep in line with the area’s designated zoning.

But going big next to a highway and transit is smart development.

COLUMN

Is a new library a bridge too low?

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town

T

he other day there was a house moving down the Queensway, west to east, going slow, as houses do. That was a good thing because not much damage was done when the top part of the house couldn’t get under an overpass.

Now, you might say: “What a foolish thing to drive a house down the Queensway without making sure about how tall it was and how high the overpasses were!�

And I might say: “Well, at least they were trying, and least they were making the effort to get from one place to another.�

Which brings us, inevitably, to how little the people who run this city are trying. There was a story last week about the central library.

Library planners are proposing that there be a modernization, as opposed to a renovation – not a particularly big modernization, but one that will, in the inevitable words of someone, bring the library into the 21st century.

Plans for something more ambitious were rejected, and we know why. There is next to no chance that the city will pony up the money.

The same goes for the thrilling idea, widely discussed a few years ago, of building a brandnew library downtown.

You’ll remember that this was seen as an exciting opportunity not only to re-energize the downtown but also to bring the library maybe even into the 22nd century. Proponents looked longingly at such examples as the Vancouver Public Library, which is a fine library, a great meeting place and an adornment to its downtown. We could have that here.

Alas, no. A low bridge was glimpsed in

the distance, the bridge of tight budgets and grumpy voters. No way a new library was going to get under that one. And so, as with many projects that might benefit the city, the project never hit the road.

You may also remember that one of the sites considered for the new library was the Government Conference Centre, the old railway station or, as the government likes to call it, Building Number 054533. Since 1966, when it ceased being a railway station, the building has mainly just sat there, playing host to the occasional event. It had a brief brush with fame in the ‘70s and ‘80s as the site for federal provincial conferences, but since then, nothing.

To the federal government’s credit, it has not torn the building down and replaced it with a condo. Also to the government’s credit, has turned down proposals ranging from a sports hall of fame to an aquarium. But still, here’s a gorgeous historic building at the very heart of downtown Ottawa that simply demands to be put to some creative use and no one is doing it.

There are cities that would salivate at the opportunity to take advantage of such a building, such a site. Ottawa is not one of them.

This is why so little has happened here in recent years. Most development has been by default – the city saying yes to one condo builder after another. We will get a casino the same way – not because anybody particularly wants one but because not enough politicians have the heart to say no.

Many will say our inertia on things such as the library is due to an absence of money. In part, perhaps, but it is also due to an absence of political gumption. Politicians at all levels are convinced they will be punished by voters for thinking big, if that means spending money and spending means not keeping taxes low.

Maybe it’s true, maybe it’s not. The idea hasn’t been tested for some time. Certainly people seem to be quite proud of the War Museum, Ottawa city hall, the Shenkman Centre and other recent examples of thinking big.

Wouldn’t it be worth a try again? The bridge may be higher than we think (measuring first).

Budget offers smallest tax increase in six years Continued from page 1

There will be some new signals and alterations to existing signals, and additional audible signals for the vision impaired.

The widening of Greenbank Road between Malvern and Strandherd in Barrhaven South will cost $43.5 million this year. The road will go from two lanes to four.

In Manotick, the intersection at Bridge Street and Dickinson Circle/Dickinson Street will be realigned and get a pedestrian signal. Bankfield Road and First Line Road are also on the list for traffic signals and/or intersection modifications.

The draft budget includes some money to do preliminary work on the Jockvale Road project to widen the road from the newly constructed Longfields/Jockvale link to Cambrian Road. The project also includes a new two-lane bridge over the Jock River to accommodate a total of four lanes of traffic. In 2013, the section from the river to Cambrian Road will be widened, while the extension to Prince of Wales Drive won’t come until 2015-16.

To accommodate Transitway buses, Chapman Mills Drive is getting a $2.8-million expansion to four lanes this year. Part of that money will come from development charges.

Intersection realignment

at Bank Street and Conroy/ Kemp will cost $1.5 million this year. A westbound turn lane at Albion and Mitch Owens is planned for this year.

The city will “fill in a crucial gap” for cyclists along the Sawmill Creek pathway between Walkley Road and Brookfield to provide a better connection to Hogs Back and the Rideau Canal pathway system, Watson said.

The southbound ramp off Bronson at Heron will get a sidewalk. New traffic signals are proposed for Bridgestone and Steeplechase at Stonehaven and Berrigan at Longfields. Audible signals are proposed to be added to Pleasant Park at Riverside, Albion and Hunt Club, Ridegewood at Riverside and Basline at Guthrie.

Pedestrian countdown signals will be added at Baseline Road and Prince of Wales, Walkey and McCarthy and Perth and Fowler streets at Nixon Farm Drive in Richmond.

A new park-and-ride lot is being proposed for the South Nepean Woods at Woodroffe and Strandherd.

Conroy Road is the only city road identified for new street lighting in 2013.

SOCIAL SERVICES

The city has to grapple with a “dark cloud on the horizon” when it comes to social services,

LAURA MUELLER/METROLAND

From left, Aaron Burry, general manager of community and social services, city manager Kent Kirkpatrick, Mayor Jim Watson and city treasurer Marian Simulik appear at a media briefing after presenting the city’s draft 2013 budget on Oct. 24. the mayor said. That’s because the provincial government is clawing back $7.15 million for discretionary benefits and the Community Start Up fund.

That money goes towards a number of services for the most vulnerable residents of the city, including glasses and funerals for people on disability or financial assistance and emergency hydro and rent payments to prevent people from becoming homeless.

“I’m concerned and I’m also not happy about it,” Watson said.

While the city did receive an additional $5 million from the provincial government this year thanks to ongoing “uploading” payment to re-

claim the costs of social programs at the provincial level, that money basically had to be redirected to make up for the discretionary funding shortfall, Watson said.

SAVINGS

A lot of budget savings will continue to come from the Service Ottawa project, which aims to consolidate city services. In 2013, that will mean $8.8 million in savings from putting more services online, such as permit applications.

City treasurer Marian Simulik applauded the city’s ability to slash another 139 full-time positions from its payroll, but later clarified that only 42 of the

city’s 14,489 jobs were cut this year. The rest were eliminated previously, but were tracked in terms of dollars, meaning the jobs themselves remained on the books. Still, the last two years have marked the first time since 2002 that the city actually eliminated jobs to save money – $3.5 million this year. Many of those jobs were at the Nepean Equestrian Park, which the city decided to close in 2012.

Office expenses for the mayor and councillors will continue to be frozen.

DEBT

The city’s debt level is now sitting at $1.4 billion and the mayor said that figure won’t be increasing this year.

The debt represents around 10 per cent of the cost of the city’s $15 billion worth of capital assets.

The city borrows money to build that kind of infrastructure in order to spread the cost over the asset’s lifetime to ensure the people who are using it also pay for it.

Servicing the city’s debt accounts for about five per cent of the city portion of a individual’s tax bill, the city treasurer said.

Ottawa’s debt is the second lowest per capita debt ($1,537) compared to Toronto, Montreal, Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver, the mayor said.

No new police officers proposed for two more years laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - Ottawa’s population is growing, but the size of its police service won’t be for the next two years.

The police service has no plans to add new officer or civilian positions until 2015 as the Ottawa Police Service tries to hold the line on increasing costs and corresponding tax hikes.

As it stands this year, an average homeowner can expect to pay an additional $13 a year on their tax bill for police services.

The police budget is going up by $9.5 million: $4 million from tax assessment growth from new homes and businesses, and $5.5 million paid by existing taxes.

That amount represents the 2.5 per cent increase set by city council.

The city’s population continues to rise, but the number of police officers isn’t increasing in step, said Chief Charles Bordeleau. That ratio will start to catch up with us in 2015 and 2016, when the service plans to add 23 new members (both sworn and civilian) in each year.

The police service is able to hire officers to make up for those retiring by finding cost savings elsewhere. A major one announced last month was the new collision reporting centre, which will open in 2013 and bring $600,000 in new revenue that year.

That will rise to $800,000 in 2014.

But most of the $2 million in savings the police found this year would come from a reduction in a stepped-up training program that was needed after amalgamation, when around 50 officers were retiring each year.

The Just in Time program was started to ensure that new officers were ready to hit the ground as soon as officers retired, but that number has now dropped to 30 officers retiring each year.

As a result, the police service plans spend $1.1 million less on that training program in 2013.

As always, the top cop cost is staff compensation; it comprises 83 per cent of the police budget. The city will have to spend $9.5 million more on its civilian and sworn employees in 2013.

After public consultations, city council is set to vote on

SOUTH POLICE STATION

A new police station near Carleton Lodge long-term care facility is on the horizon.

When it was first announced in 2010, the city expected to finish building the station by the end of this year.

It was pushed back, but there is $30 million set aside to get that project underway in 2014.

The whole project is expected to cost $50.3 million.

The city also plans to put $5 million towards upgrading communications centres and adding a second centre, which will temporarily be located at the Elgin Street police headquarters.

ES C N A CH I N! W O T

EMC news – A 2.5 per cent cap on OC Transpo fare hikes wouldn’t apply to fares for the city’s most vulnerable citizens.

Community pass holders are set to pay 9.4 per cent more for their passes.

Ticket prices would also go up to $3. That’s not listed as a fare increase in the proposed 2013 budget because it was approved last year, but the fare hike was put on hold due to delays in rolling out the Presto smart-card payment system.

A regular trip using tickets currently costs $2.70.

For Para Transpo users who have a community pass, those two increases combined will really add up for people like her, said Catherine Gardner, a former member of the defunct city advisory committee on

accessibility issues.

Gardner said she personally thinks the community pass increase is justified because it hasn’t gone up for a few years.

But combined with pricier tickets, which are needed to top up the fare for a Para Transpo trip, it’s a hefty increase for people on limited incomes, Gardner said.

Otherwise, the draft transit budget mostly holds the line.

Ridership is projected to remain steady at 102.4 million trips over a 12-month period.

Riders experienced change last year with the “route optimization” exercise that will save OC Transpo $20 million a year, and more changes are on the horizon as construction of the light-rail line is set to get underway next year.

That means transit isn’t looking at big changes this year, said OC Transpo general manager John Manconi.

The transit agency will see the full benefit of $8.9 million in annual savings thanks to the addition of 75 double-decker buses that started rolling out this year.

After public consultations, city council is set to vote on the budget on Nov. 28.

EMC news - After looking at the impact of the September 2011 “route optimization” that axed service on many bus routes, the city is reversing some of the changes and adding more service.

The temporary pilot project will study the effects of restoring service to customers who were disproportionately disadvantaged by the changes made last year, said transit commission chairwoman Coun. Diane Deans.

But OC Transpo general manager John Manconi warned riders not to get used to the service – it won’t last any longer than three months.

The transit commission will then study the results of the program.

The draft budget includes $500,000 for the study but Manconi said it will likely cost between $300,000 and $400,000. The project will look at ways to improve service for four groups that have been hurt by the changes made last

year: seniors, young people, riders trying to access the Ottawa Hospital’s General campus and workers heading to employment areas in the south end.

“Those are segments that we want to put out there from the areas that have been identified as being ... disproportionately affected by the route optimization,” Manconi said.

Manconi kept the changes under wraps after revealing the study as part of the draft 2013 budget on Oct. 24, but a memo sent to councillors the next day outlined the changes: • Hospital access from the downtown will be improved by adding weekend service on Route 106.

• Four additional weekend round trips will be added to Route 116 to serve the commercial/ employment areas at Hunt Club Road and Riverside Drive.

• For seniors, a new Route 153 will increase service between Lincoln Fields Station and Carlingwood via McEwen, Ambleside, and Woodroffe. That route replaces Route 2X trips

in the area. OC Transpo will add two trips a day (seven days a week) on Route 87 to connect St. Patrick’s Home and other locations near Mooney’s Bay with Transitway stations at Billings Bridge and Hurdman.

• For youth, weekend trips will be added to Route 171 in central Barrhaven to provide better access to the rest of the transit system.

The changes will go into effect in the last week of December and the first week of January as part of the regular quarterly route adjustments.

Some other additions are being made due to the growing population in the east and south ends of the city.

The east end will be getting evening and weekend service on Route 130, which will be extended via Brian Cobourn Boulevard to Millenium Station. Sunday service is being added to Barrhaven/Fallowfield Route 177. Those service expansions are included in the draft 2013 budget that still needs to be approved by city council.

Routes 14, 30, 35, 38, 60, 62, 68, 76, 77, 85, 87, 93, 96, 101, 102, 111 and 118 will have a reduced number of trips to account for the higher-capacity double-decker buses that have been added to those routes. Riders will have to wait two to three minutes longer for a bus. In early 2013, double-decker buses will also be added to routes 20, 21, 31, 34, 41, 61, 66, 70, 71 and 93.

OTHER CHANGES

Changes will be made to routes 99 and 170 to improve reliability. Early morning service will be provided on Route 262 and part of Route 144.

Route 633 to Lester B. Pearson High School will be changed to follow the same streets as the all-day Route 127.

OC Transpo is canceling some early morning or late evening trips on routes 18, 127, 132, 143, 161, and 170 because measurements showed they were regularly carrying no customers during those hours.

Hudak demands Liberals put the legislature back to work eddie.rwema@metroland.com

EMC news - Some Ontario Progressive Conservative party members have blasted their leader for not being tough enough to force the Liberal government to put the Ontario legislature back to work.

While PC Leader Tim Hudak insisted that there was no reason why MPPs can’t be at work now focusing on jobs and balancing the books, his followers urged him to be more aggressive and proactive at a town-hall meeting in Premier Dalton McGuinty’s riding of Ottawa South on Oct. 24.

“What I think needs to happen ... is: let’s take him to court and sue him for the illegal closure of legislature...” said one man at the meeting.

“Look like you are proactive in trying to get it back. Not these talks because this is not going to bring the legislature back,” he said.

Hudak fired back saying he is doing everything possible to put the legislature back in session.

“We are not going to let them go away with this,” he said.

The prorogation issue dominated the meeting that was held at Ottawa’s RA Centre.

TIM HUDAK Hudak added his party is doing everything it legally can to get the legislature opened again, but noted that prorogation is at the discretion of the premier.

“Just because they are hiding under their desks doesn’t mean they are going to get off the hook on this,” said Hudak.

In a surprise move after nine years in power, on Oct. 15, McGuinty announced he was stepping down as premier.

His announcement came amid opposition accusations that he misled the legislature over power plant cancellations that will cost taxpayers upwards of $230 million and pressure from teachers’ unions over his efforts to freeze their wages and take away their ability to strike.

But McGuinty cited party “renewal” and the opposition’s blocking of a public-sector

wage freeze bill as his reasons for stepping aside.

Hudak said the prorogation was wrong, especially at a time when there is so much at stake in Ontario.

“We are at a crucial tipping point and we are losing jobs.

Ontario is in trouble and people are losing hope,” he said.

“We are not just opposing; we are proposing bold ideas like cutting taxes, and balancing the books and bringing more trades in the province – a bold agenda that will see Ontario lead this great country again.”

While Hudak was addressing his party members, a handful of demonstrators staged a rally outside the RA Centre, protesting Bill 115 legislation, that freezes teachers’ wages, bans strikes for two years and prevents them from banking sick days.

“We are here because the Conservatives not only supported the bill, but they want to make even (more) drastic cuts.

They are going after unions and we’ll not stand for it,” said Elizabeth Kettle, member of the Ottawa Carleton Elementary Teachers’ Federation.

“Our message to Tim Hudak: you need to stop now, do the right thing, get back to the legislature and repeal Bill 115.”

OC Transpo Route 87: New Service to St. Patrick’s Home After working closely with the community and OC Transpo staff to review the impact of changes made to the former Route 87, I am pleased to report that on December 23, 2012, OC Transpo will implement a pilot project to provide accessible transit service to the residents, staff, volunteers and visitors of the St. Patrick’s Home of Ottawa.

The pilot project will see Route 87 travel along Riverside Drive between Ridgewood Avenue and Brookfield Road to provide St. Patrick’s Home and the Mooney’s Bay area with service to Billings Bridge Station and Hurdman Station. OC Transpo will closely monitor ridership of the route during this pilot to determine if additional trips should be added as part of the spring 2013 service level review. I encourage you to provide me with your feedback regarding this pilot.

Changes to Curbside Residual Waste Several important changes in solid waste collection began the week of October 29, 2012. Residual household waste is collected every two weeks and the green bin is collected every week. Blue and black box collection will continue to alternate weeks.

As part of these changes, 158,000 households will have their residual waste and recycling collected on a new day. The City informed residents about these changes through a personalized letter that was sent by mail after Thanksgiving. You can confirm your collection schedule by checking your Waste Collection Calendar online at Ottawa.ca. You can also sign up to receive personalized reminders about your collection schedule via e-mail, phone or Twitter by visiting Ottawa.ca or by calling 3-1-1 (613-580-2400).

One of the best ways to adapt to bi-weekly waste collection is to reduce the total amount of waste your household produces and maximize the use of the City’s recycling programs. A list of green bin tips is available at Ottawa.ca. You can place out an unlimited amount of recycling each collection day.

NEED FOR LIBRARY

Another major concern in the community is the lack of a library branch within a walking distance in the neighbourhood.

While he appreciates the kiosk that currently serves the community, Sankey said it is not convenient.

“River Ward is the only ward in the city that doesn’t have a library branch somewhere within it and the kiosk has a very limited number of books,” he said.

According to Richard Stark, manager of library facilities planning and development, new branches are funded through development charge funds.

“Ottawa Public Library undertakes a growth planning study every four years as part of the development charges process which identifies which areas of the city are experiencing growths and to what degree.

This information is then used to project where future branches will be built and during what time frame,” Stark said in an email.

A recent study completed in December 2010 projected the need to build a 1,500-squaremetre branch in the Mooney’s Bay area between 2022 and 2026, said Stark.

WORKING WITH STUDENTS IN OUR COMMUNITY For many years the Rotary Club of Ottawa South (RCOS) has awarded $500 bursaries to local high schools. In the 2012 school year the recipients are Nilame Siboke from Hillcrest High School, Arsam Golriz from Brookfield High School, Andrea Ventura from Ridgemont High School.

We were fortunate to have these outstanding young people come and talk at one of our weekly lunch meetings. Listening to their dedication, some of the obstacles that they have overcome, their desire to learn and achieve and their aspirations was truly inspirational.

The Rotary Club of Ottawa South was a founding supporter of the Ledbury Banff Community Scholarship Program, and we are committed to long-term involvement — the program has awarded ten scholarships! This year’s recipients were Sophia Mirzayee and Nathan Banze. RCOS congratulates all of the scholarship recipients and wishes them well in their post-secondary studies!

EMC news – The Hunt Club Community Association is taking the lead in helping make its streets and parks clean through adopting them.

The association has launched a campaign to encourage residents to adopt public streets and spaces that are prone to collecting garbage, under the city’s Adopta-Park or Roadway or Gateway program.

“We are trying to make our neighbourhood cleaner and more friendly for everybody,” said John Sankey, association president.

The program encourages community involvement in the care and maintenance of parks and roadways.

It is a partnership between volunteers and the city. The program is open to community groups and individuals of all ages who want to take an active role in enhancing the quality of life in the community.

“Having litter all over the place doesn’t make the neighbourhood look friendly,” said Sankey.

So far, Sankey said former and present association executives have adopted McCarthy Road, Plante and Lillico crescents and three parks: Owl, Paul Landry and Uplands.

“We are giving Hunt Club

a more community spirit and making it a nicer place for all of us to live,” said Sankey.

The volunteers’ involvement in clean up projects needs to be a minimum of twice a year - once in the spring and once in the fall.

The city asks individuals and groups to make a longterm commitment of a minimum of two years to provide continuity to the program.

“When you adopt a section of the city, you agree to clean up the garbage people throw all over the place. That is the aim of doing it,” said Sankey.

To acknowledge these efforts, each park, roadway or gateway is furnished with a sign presenting the names of the adopting individual or group.

The sign is displayed for the adopting period.

Sankey has himself offered to adopt Uplands Park.

“I have adopted Uplands because I walk there almost every day. I am going to be picking up the garbage and put it in the waste basket every time I go by,” he said.

He hopes the campaign will change people’s behaviours on littering.

“Probably the more people will hear about us collecting garbage, the less they will throw it,” said Sankey.

He hopes that if people can adopt as many streets and parks as possible, the cleaner

SCHOOL SUPPLIES DONATION Maria Saracino orchestrated an initiative to prepare and donate fully stocked book bags for students who could use an extra hand at the start of this school year. RCOS members met with local businesses (thanks to Bentley’s and Standard Media!) to source school supplies for lower income students. Maria remarked that “75 packed bags were delivered to the Banff Community House and another 25 bags were distributed through the Salvation Army. It was satisfying to see people coming in for the bags while we were still there. They are going to be put to good use.”

Thanks to Thomas Yoo and his wife Tina, the Salvation Army Chapel on Walkley Road provided the space to work (and treats!). In true Rotary fashion, there were many hands to help with the work. Adel Harami and Dave Francis, along with a couple members of the Rotaract Club of Ottawa South Mergime Berisha and Helai Yousufzai, helped with compiling the school materials and putting them into the backpacks.

The eight hard working volunteers had 100 school bags sorted, stuffed and ready to deliver within an hour. Then David Gough, of Belisle Chevrolet Cadillac, arrived with a van to load and deliver bags to the Banff Community House.

When everything was tallied, RCOS spent $1,560; but, thanks to the help of two local merchants and some frugal shopping, there was over $3,600 in value. Each high school bag was worth over $60 and each elementary school bag was worth over $30.

EMC news – A city-wide review of Ottawa’s truck routes has not been included in the city’s draft 2013 budget unveiled on Oct. 24.

The Manotick Village Community Association, led by president Klaus Beltzner, was pushing city staff, members of the transportation committee and Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt to include the study as part of the city’s transportation master plan, which will move forward next year.

Beltzner said the $250,000 truck study is needed in order to reduce and reroute the number of heavy trucks travelling through Manotick on their way to Highway 416.

The load, he said, should be shared between all southend communities.

While the Strandherd-Armstrong bridge currently under construction between Riverside South and Barrhaven is supposed to relieve some of the truck traffic on Bridge Street and Hunt Club Road, it is not yet designated a truck route on the city’s maps.

The arterials that connect to it, such as Earl Armstrong Road and Strandherd Road up to Woodroffe Avenue, are not considered truck routes either.

A city-wide review of truck routes has not been done for eight years. It is typically done every five.

Beltzner said he was “saddened” to hear the study was not included – but not surprised.

“There is, in my mind, a real issue with the suburban councillors just north of us,” he said.

Beltzner said he believes

Gloucester South-Nepean Coun. Steve Desroches and Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder are blocking any effort to reconsider truck routes so that the traffic doesn’t go through their wards.

“There have been a lot of political commitments made to Manotick about relief from trucks once the StrandherdArmstrong bridge is built, and that’s turning out to be a big lie,” Beltzner said.

“If there was an expectation that Stranderd-Armstrong was going to be used for trucks, then once the fourlane arterials were built they would have been designated already as a truck route.”

Desroches said he has no hidden agenda regarding truck routes.

“The bridge has “always been identified as a transit and transportation solution ... so I fully expect it will carry truck

traffic; it’s being designed to accommodate that.”

However Desroches said the bridge is not meant to become a ring road for trucks travelling between highways 417 and 416.

Heavy truck traffic will use the bridge to deliver products and goods to the rapidly growing commercial centres in Barrhaven and Riverside South, he said.

“Earl Armstrong doesn’t connect with Bank Street, and I certainly don’t want to see this become a ring road by default,” Desroches said.

“This corridor is being built to serve the growth in south Ottawa.”

He emphasized that the bridge is also meant to share the load between the three southern bridges, rather than eliminate it from one altogether.

Desroches said conduct-

ing a full city-wide review of truck routes is pointless for the south Ottawa area, because the conversation “always gets monopolized by talk about King Edward Av-

Ronny tries his ears at growing potatoes

M

other had a thing about clean ears and necks.

We never once went out the door in the morning, on the way to the Northcote School, that we weren’t subjected to a close look at both.

Heaven forbid that we might get run over with a horse and buggy, end up at old Doctor Murphy’s or the Renfrew Hospital, and have someone see that we had dirty ears and necks!

Every night before we went to bed, each of us had to give ourselves a sponge bath.

And we had to pay special attention to our ears and necks, knowing full well they would be scrutinized the next morning.

We pretty much ignored the rest of our bodies, since it wasn’t likely Mother would be examining us after we were fully dressed.

My sister Audrey said she was quite sure we had the cleanest ears and necks in the entire Renfrew County.

One year, the Lapointe cousins were again with us well into the fall, and Father said he doubted very much if Uncle Herby had any intention of taking them back to Montreal before the spring thaw!

Ronny was a force to be reckoned with, while his

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories younger brother Terry was as meek as a mouse. And any time Uncle Herby and Aunt Helen could send the boys out to the farm at Northcote, they did.

It didn’t matter if it was the middle of the winter, or during the dead heat of the summer, we never knew when to expect the two cousins.

I was always thrilled when they came to stay.

They added much to our quiet life out there on the farm, and I loved when the cousins were with us, even though Ronny was constantly in trouble, if not at home, at Northcote School.

Back then, it didn’t seem to matter where you came from, or why you were in the school.

If you were of school age, you just went.Terry was too young, even for primer book, so he stayed home with Mother.

But Ronny, close to my age, made the three-and-halfmile trek with the rest of us.

All that was needed was an

extra bag of lunch.

Well, Ronny hated having his ears examined every morning.

He didn’t complain about the neck, but for some reason he went through a routine that never varied when Mother was ready for her examination.

He would bend his head onto his shoulder as far as it would go, screw up his face, and let out a howl much like our old Collie dog did when he thought something was attacking our hen house.

Mother gave him no sympathy.

He also didn’t have much use for the nightly sponge bath. And I know for a fact he often just wet the face cloth and put it right back in the basin of water, stood for as long as he thought a reasonable time, and announced he was finished.

And of course, the ears were rarely touched. Well, one morning Mother took a hold of one of his ears, and said “Ronny Lapointe, you

could plant potatoes in there.

Get over to the bench and I’ll give those ears a clean out.”

Well, for some reason that morning, Ronny took his punishment like a man. But I could tell the wheels were turning in his head. There was no howling, and he didn’t even bend his head to his shoulder when the other ear was being washed. Something was up with Ronny, I could tell.

He was deep in thought.

The next morning, we all lined up for the usual examination.

Mother thought, since Audrey was in Senior Fourth, she didn’t have to have her ears and neck examined. She was old enough and quite capable of looking after her own cleanliness. I couldn’t wait until I reached that magic age.

Well, then it was Ronny’s turn. He stood ramrod straight – again, very unusual for Ronny. Mother bent to have a look. She got close to his ears and then hauled him over to the window so she could get a better view.

“Ronny Lapointe! What have you got in your ears?”

Ronny looked up at Mother and said, “Aunty, you said yesterday I could plant potatoes in my ears.

“Well, I thought I could maybe help it along if I put a bit of gravel in there. I sure would like to see a potato grow in my ears. Boy, wouldn’t I have something to tell the guys back in Montreal when I get home.”

I had no idea if he thought seriously that he could plant a potato in his ear by putting in a bit of dirt, or if, as usual, he just wanted to cause a bit of commotion in that old log house out in Renfrew County!

Father was just coming in the back door from the barns

and he saw the entire performance.

He lit his pipe, squinted his eyes half shut, as he always did when he saw or heard something he couldn’t believe, and said, “It’s going to be a long winter. I’ll tell you, I’m afraid they’ll be here until the spring run-off!”

South-end author honoured for book on museums Ottawa Book Awards recognize city’s writers Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

EMC news - Ottawa’s most creative literary talents gathered at the Shenkman Arts Centre on Oct. 24 to hand out the 2012 awards for the city’s best books.

The 2012 Ottawa Book Awards were given for English fiction, English non-fiction and French fiction. There was no non-fiction French award given this year.

The event was MC-ed by Charlotte Gray, an Ottawa biographer and historian, and Martin Vanasse from RadioCanada. Mayor Jim Watson and Coun. Shad Qadri presented the awards.

“Tonight we shine the spotlight on a vibrant, bilingual, literary community,” Watson said. “We don’t have to look far to find world-class talent.”

The English fiction award was presented to Centretown author Jamison Findlay for his book The Summer of Per-

manent Wants.

The book is about an 11year-old girl who loses her voice and sets off with her grandmother on a trip down the Rideau Canal in a boat, which is also a bookstore.

“When I consider the roster of talent, I was totally overwhelmed,” Findlay said. “It feels really good to be recognized.”

“They bring words to life for the residents of Ottawa and worldwide.”

MAYOR JIM WATSON

The award for French fiction went to an author from Beacon Hill, Estelle Beauchamp. Beauchamp was honoured for her book Un soufflé venu de loin, which has also won a provincial Trillium Book Award.

For English non-fiction, the list of authors and their

“That was way to easy!”

credentials was impressive, ranging from Robert E. Fowler, who was foreign policy adviser to prime ministers Trudeau, Turner and Mulroney, to Craig Oliver, the chief parliamentary correspondent for CTV. The 2012 English non-fiction Book Award went to Ruth B. Phillips for Museum Pieces: Toward the Indigenization of Canadian Museums. “(This is) owed to a great extent, to me living for 40 years in this city,” she said.

“This is a museum city; it has a remarkable combination.”

The Archibald Lampman Award for Poetry was also presented by Chris Jennings from the Arc Poetry Society to Michael Blouin for Wore Down Trust.

The winners were chosen by a group of three jurors for each category and each finalist received a cash prize.

“They bring words to life for the residents of Ottawa and worldwide,” Watson said.

Main Ottawa library branch up for $25-million renovation Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

STEPH WILLEMS/METROLAND

Rattle Me Bones fundraiser Hundreds of runners young and old took part in four races the 19th annual Rattle Me Bones fundraising event on Oct. 28, hoping to raise $1 million for orthopedic research at the Ottawa Hospital.

EMC - The city won’t be getting a new Main library branch, but the library board is looking at spending $25 million to spruce up the existing building.

On Oct. 24, the committee was presented with three options ranging from $6.3 million to $70 million in cost and chose the middle one.

The plan is to “modernize” the aging branch by undertaking a comprehensive renovation.

The more expensive option would have also included an addition to the Metcalfe Street building’s fourth and fifth floors.

That idea was supported by library staff and the facilities planning committee for the library board, and the full board will discuss it on Nov. 19.

But library board chairwoman Coun. Jan Harder cautioned that there is no money put aside for the work.

“We don’t have any money for that now and I’m not going to pretend that we do,” Harder said, adding that if the plan gets approval, the board will look at forming a fundraising committee.

Public-private partnerships would also be on the table, Harder said.

“This is a board that knows we have to make changes at our main branch,” she added.

Considering a structural engineer must be called in before a stack of books is moved, the news that the branch is structurally sound came as a surprise to library board members on Sept. 10.

“I was surprised when I saw that report,” Harder said on Sept. 10. “It’s telling me that this place is in rough shape, it’s not pretty, but it’s not going to fall down on you,” Harder said.

There was a push in the last decade to find a new location to construct a library to replace the Metcalfe branch, which opened in 1974. There was a general sense that the three-storey, 8,175-square metre library was too small to serve the downtown population, and moreover, that the aging, Brutalist-style building was not fitting for a grand public facility such as a central library.

Concerns grew when the third-floor wall separated

structural upgrades will be needed in the next 10 years.

On Sept. 10, Harder said she had $100,000 in the bank thanks to fundraising golf tournaments for the library, and she can use that money as she sees fit. Hiring an architect to design an addition to the Metcalfe location and redesign the interior layout would be a good use of that money, she said. That proposal is included in the plan approved by the library facilities committee.

“We need somebody with vision … to look at this space with all this information and give us a ‘wow,’” Harder said.

But some members of the board felt otherwise, including Jim Bennett, who asked to change the wording of the motion the board approved to accept the report. He wanted it to reference the possibility of a new library, but the board voted that down 7-5 on FILE

The Main Library branch on Metcalfe Street needs about $6.3 million in upgrades over the next 10 years. from the floor in 2007, which led to the ongoing need to consult engineers before moving anything heavy – such as stacks of books – around the branch.

While the report indicates that consulting an engineer is a good idea, it also says the “bones” of the building are in good condition and no major

Sept. 10.

“Clearly, there is a fraction on the board,” Harder said.

Everyone on the board, which includes both city councillors and citizen members, loves libraries, Harder said.

The difference is that some members are more attuned to the “realities of the fiscal environment.”

National poppy campaign officially launches Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

take comfort in our efforts to remember,â&#x20AC;? Murray said.

The event welcomed veterans from the Second World War and the Korean and Afghanistan wars. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That the First World War wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, in fact, the last war speaks to the fact that our veterans and their loved ones have continued to make sacriďŹ ces in the decades since,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In war and in peacetime, members of the Canadian Forces have been steadfast in their service to our country.â&#x20AC;?

Johnson personally welcomed and handed out poppies to some of the Second World War veterans in attendance, taking the time to speak to each person individually.

The governor general also encouraged everyone to visit the national honours exhibit, located at 90 Wellington St. The exhibit, From Far and Wide: Honouring Great Canadians, opened in May and showcases Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s national honours and the contributions of Canadians.

Sharon, Murray and Moore all received a poppy at the launch, with poppies becoming available to the general public beginning on Oct. 26.

The symbol of the poppy was adopted in 1921 recognizing the 117, 000 Canadian men and women who gave their lives during military service around the world.

Each year, 18 million poppies are distributed across Canada.

EMC news - The 2012 national poppy campaign is ofďŹ cially underway.

The poppy, a symbol of remembrance for more than 90 years now, launched the 2012 National Poppy Campaign on Oct. 24 at Rideau Hall.

Gov. Gen. David Johnson and his wife Sharon were joined by the Royal Canadian Legionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grand president Larry Murray and the dominion president of the Royal Canadian Legion Gordon Moore. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I ďŹ nd it hard to imagine a more appropriate cause,â&#x20AC;?

Johnson said.

Pinned with the ďŹ rst poppy of the campaign, Johnson

said the campaign renews the solemn bond with veterans, past and present. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This small, scarlet ďŹ&#x201A;ower speaks volumes about the sacriďŹ ces of Canadian soldiers and veterans, and it starkly reminds us of the tragedy of war,â&#x20AC;? Johnson said.

Murray, who thanked the Gov. Gen. for his ongoing support for the Canadian Forces, and his personal engagement in the campaign, noted the importance of wearing a single poppy over oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heart. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whether World War I, World War II, Korea, the many peace support operations since including the war in Afghanistan and the recent conďŹ&#x201A;ict in Libya, survivors and fallen heroes alike may

Lowertown wins fight to save Sussex homes Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - The city’s planning committee shocked even heritage advocates by unanimously rejecting a plan to demolish two heritage homes on Sussex Drive.

The houses, one of which was home to former governor general Adrienne Clarkson during her childhood, were proposed for demolition as part of a project to widen the road into a boulevard to complete the National Capital Commission’s Mile of History section of the ceremonial Confederation Boulevard.

The change is needed to straighten out a curve and make the road safer for both motorists and cyclists, the city and NCC argued.

That reasoning did not resonate with councillors who sit on the committee, who roundly rejected the plan and called on staff and the NCC to come up with a more creative solution. Council also rejected the demolition on Oct. 24.

Even Innes Coun. Rainer Bloess, who has spoken against over-conservation of heritage buildings, didn’t support the demolitions. But he added that the city shouldn’t be “holier than thou” when it comes to criticizing the NCC, because it is the city’s road-

design requirements that influenced the size and shape of the revised road.

Kitchissippi Coun. Katherine Hobbs was the most passionate councillor to argue against the demolitions. She decried a plan to mark Canada’s history that requires the demolition of a home representing a compelling national story: a young refugee girl who would eventually move down the street to Rideau Hall to serve as the nation’s head of state.

“Who is drinking whose Kool-Aid?” she asked.

Orléans Coun.

Bob Monette was straightforward in his opinion: “I don’t know how we could vote to tear a building down with this kind of history.”

The ward’s councillor, Mathieu Fleury, has drawn criticism from Lowertown residents for his refusal to take a side on whether to save the buildings. His reluctance continued even after the planning committee vote.

“Heritage is not something I’m super knowledgeable about,” he said. “I thought they (planning committee members) did a good job. I could have intervened if clarification was needed.”

When pressed for an opinion on whether the homes are worth saving, Fleury said:

“Who would say no? … The community has made a fair argument on why the houses should be saved, and the committee has said, ‘Yes, we agree with you.’ I am not in favour or opposed to that,” Fleury said. “I say, ‘Good.’

There was an agreement with community members, so they must be right.”

TRANSPORTATION ISSUES

Committee chairman and Alta Vista Coun. Peter Hume scolded councillors and delegates for speaking about the transportation issues associated with the project, because it is outside the purview of the planning committee, but he also voted against the demolition.

Rideau-Rockcliffe Coun.

Peter Clark, who will sit on the future heritage subcommittee, argued that the transportation reasoning is flawed.

The road could accommodate cycling lanes and still keep the heritage homes, Clark said, calling the road straightening an “excuse” to get rid of the homes.

“You could probably do 120 (km/h) around there right now,” he said. “Frankly, we just don’t honour our predecessors very much.”

Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri asked if widening the road

Pet Adoptions

on the west side, across the street from the homes, was considered.

The NCC’s project manager on the file, Richard Daigneault, said the NCC considered that option but determined it wouldn’t work.

Likewise for an off-road multiuse pathway: Qadri asked the question and Daigneault said it wouldn’t work.

College Coun. Rick Chiarelli was concerned that the NCC didn’t have good answers for challenges that residents and heritage advocates brought to the meeting.

Transportation issues are now at the top of Fleury’s mind, because he says there is “no question” the suggested changes would have made the area safer for cyclists. Ensur-

ing any design changes still offer those safety improvements will be Fleury’s focus.

He said he would like to examine the possibility of segregating the bicycle lanes from vehicle traffic, if the city decides to move forward with additional separated bike lanes following a review of the Laurier Avenue pilot project.

PET OF THE WEEK

PETE

FIFA

ID#A130877

ID#A147044

Meet Pete! This neutered male, white Maltese is about six years old. He was surrendered to the shelter by his owner on October 10. Pete loves to take daily walks around the neighbourhood and would benefit from regular trips to the groomers!

LAURA MUELLER/METROLAND

On Oct. 23, Lowertown residents and heritage advocates protested against demolishing heritage homes on Sussex Drive – the last surviving residences on that stretch of the street.

He will need an experienced owner to show him the ropes, and to make sure he knows he doesn’t rule the world! Pete would not be well-suited to apartment living, as he likes to share his opinions on many subjects, which the neighbors may not wish to hear.

If you think you have found your next companion animal in the Adoption Centre, please contact our Customer Service Supervisor at 613-725-3166 or cssupervisor@ottawahumane.ca. The Ottawa Humane Society Adoption Centre is open weekdays 11:00 – 7:00 and Saturdays 10:00 – 5:00. posted within 24 hours of admission, and the site is updated every hour.

We will do our best to help with your search, but as the owner, you are ultimately responsible to look for and identify your pet.

Make sure you have up-to-date photos of your pet so that you can put up posters in your neighbourhood. Make fliers that include the lost date, description and any unique markings, a picture and your phone number – a reward motivates people!

Be specific when describing your lost pet.

Example: A large 6-year-old domestic short-haired cat, all black with white paws, neutered and declawed, friendly with people, answers to the name Newton Or: A 3-year-old medium size dog, 25 to 30 pounds, black and tan, shepherd mix, female, spayed, a little timid – answers to the name Shadow.

Place a lost ad in the newspaper and check the Found section.

Have your pet microchipped so that it can be scanned at a local vet clinic or at the OHS, and make sure to update microchip information if you move. Keep identification tags up-to-date with your phone number and address. A City of Ottawa License will also help identify your pet.

A good day for me includes lots of running with my buddies Dawg and Storm, homemade peanut butter treats, and a belly rub. I’m a happy dog for sure!”

What to do if your pet goes missing Sometimes our furry friends escape, but there are steps to take to ensure this scary and stressful time goes smoothly and your pet gets home safe and sound as quickly as possible.

The most important thing to do if you have lost an animal is to fill out a Lost Animal Report with the Ottawa Humane Society at www.ottawahumane.ca, and email us a photo of your pet. The OHS receives thousands of lost animals every year. Submitting a complete Lost report will help us to quickly identify your pet, if it is brought to us.

Submitting a Lost Animal Report is not a substitute for visiting the municipal animal shelter to look for your animal – visit the OHS at 245 West Hunt Club Road to check if your pet has been brought in. Be aware that your animal could be almost anywhere. Exploring dogs have travelled as much as 20 kilometers in a single day. Do not limit your search to your neighbourhood only.

If you have lost your cat, search the area at dusk and dawn – be cautious around cars and garbage cans. Inform your neighbours and ask them not to feed your cat. Placing kitty litter outside may be enough to entice a nervous or shy cat to return to a site that smells familiar.

Photos of most stray cats recently admitted to our shelter are posted online at www.ottawahumane.ca. Pictures are

Watsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mill adds flare to Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day donation centre for used clothing, which will be passed on to a womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shelter yet to be determined. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since (women are) going to be adding things to their closets, we thought why not make some room ďŹ rst, to pare down and pass on some of those older pieces of clothing,â&#x20AC;? Geoffrion said.

Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC news â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Watsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mill is taking retro to a whole new level with a vintage womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fashion exhibit in honour of Manotickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day on Nov. 3.

The display will showcase womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fashions from 1700s France all the way to 1940s North America over two weekends in November.

Along with items from Watsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mill, the exhibit will include original and reproduction outďŹ ts from Nepean Museum, Vanierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Museoparc, Goulbourn Museum, Osgoode Township Museum and the Rideau Township Historical Society.

At least one original wedding dress from the late 1880s will be on display from the Osgoode Township collection.

Museoparc will also supply six reproductions of French dresses from the 1700s, which were made in 1984 for Vanierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s city council to wear in an Ontario centennial parade.

The exhibit will be open in the Millâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Carriage Shed the weekends of Nov. 3 and 4 and Nov. 10 and 11, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day.

Mill manager Isabelle Geoffrion said the exhibit is the museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s way of participating in the villageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; day outâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day is organized by Manotickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business improvement area every fall and includes special in-store deals, free samples and entertainment throughout the village as women check out the many boutiques and restaurants. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re open and this is happening, I thought â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s do something kind of fun to participate in Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Geoffrion said.

The exhibit will double as a

GROWING EVENT

Manotickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s BIA director Donna Smith said adding Watsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mill to the Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day lineup is a perfect ďŹ t. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it showcases the uniqueness of the historic village. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re so fortunate that we have Watsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mill because it just helps round out what Manotick is about and how weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve preserved the quality of our history,â&#x20AC;? Smith said.

Also new this year, two roaming musical groups will entertain on the streets of Manotick while the women shop and eat.

Sax Appeal, a saxophone quartet, and Peter Voithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s acoustic trio will roam the village providing music that Smith hopes will add to the festive feel.

Business owners will have deals, giveaways and samples, and Smith said the ďŹ rst 800 women who arrive at the event will receive a gift bag of manicure supplies, makeup brushes and a makeup bag.

But in the end, Smith said she hopes they take away something even more important â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a good impression of the village. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The day is to have the ladies come out and have a good time, and give an opportunity for businesses to showcase themselves and show all the unique, great things they have to offer,â&#x20AC;? she said.
