Bomb threats close secondary schools Erin McCracken
erin.mccracken@metroland.com
A second round of bomb threats emailed to Ottawaarea high schools prompted Ottawa police to search Ridgemont High in the Herongate area, Louis-Riel in Blackburn Hamlet, Franco-Ouest high school in Bells Corners, and South Carleton High in Richmond. Police did not find anything suspicious on the second day of searching, Oct. 30, and classes continued as usual, though Franco-Ouest and Louis-Riel were both placed in secure mode during the sweep.

Heroes among us Orville Parker, 89, joins more than a dozen other military veterans after they were each knighted into the Order of St. George during an investiture ceremony at the Perley and Rideau Veterans’ Health Centre in Riverview Park on Nov. 2. Parker enlisted in the Royal Canadian Naval Reserve in 1944 at age 18, going on to serve on the aircraft carrier, HMS Puncher, which escorted overseas merchant ships and tracked down the German battleship, Tiripiz. Parker recently received the Artic Star medal for his part in Arctic supply missions to Russia during the war. For more Remembrance Day related coverage, see page 16.

Police search schools after two rounds of emailed bomb threats Continued from page 1
“The police have been to both of our locations and have determined that there is no valid threat,” said Sharlene Hunter, spokeswoman for the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board, which includes Ridgemont
Marc Soucy, Ottawa police spokesman. “Nothing was ever found and we’re just trying to figure out who is doing it,” he said, adding that west district investigators are leading the case. “We’re working on leads.” Franco-Ouest high school in Bells
and South Carleton. “The school operations never ceased so classes continued and both schools have been given the all clear.” Multiple emails were sent during two overnight periods – Oct. 28 to 29, and again Oct. 29 to 30 – when the schools were closed, said Const.

Corners was briefly evacuated on Oct. 29 after a suspicious object was found in a student’s locker. “We attended and found the package to be inert,” said Soucy. The Bells Corners school was searched after Louis-Riel, a French public high school, received an emailed bomb threat the same day. Word spread quickly among area school boards regarding the threats, and that was when it was discovered that Franco-Ouest had also received a threatening email. “The email (to Louis-Riel) went on to say that the schools would know they were targeted because they would receive specific emails,” said Roxanne Deevey, spokeswoman for the French Catholic school board, which includes Franco-Ouest. “It did allude to the fact that there was a bomb scare in Gatineau (Oct. 28), and it basically said that they started (Oct. 28) in Gatineau and there was going to be a bomb scare in Ottawa,” Deevey said, referring to the evacuations of five CEGEP campuses in western Quebec. In that case, a suspicious package was found at Heritage College in Litchfield, Que., and eventually deemed “under control” by police there. Louis-Riel was promptly closed for the day on Oct. 29. “Because the safety and wellbeing of each student and staff is a priority, we have taken this situation seriously and with the collaboration of the Ottawa police, suspended all school activities for the day,” the French public school board said in a statement. “It is with relief that we inform you that police consider the school property safe and potential threats have been ruled out,” the board said. “We are happy to say that everything is back to normal and that all our students are safe.” Louis-Riel was placed in secure mode for about an hour again on Oct.
30 when police once again searched the building. Nothing was found during the search. Police were being tight-lipped about the bomb scares, declining to confirm which schools received emailed threats overnight on Oct. 29 and 30, or the subject of the emails due to the ongoing nature of the investigation. The number of emails directed at area schools is uncertain, but Soucy said there were “several.” “They went to some school boards. They went to some schools. Some schools may not have opened their emails yet,” he said. English public school officials notified parents about the incidents at Ridgemont, Gloucester and South Carleton. “No threat was found at the school, but we are taking this situation seriously,” officials told parents in a phone call and email Oct. 30. “We are therefore working with Ottawa police for a resolution to this matter.” Classes at those schools were not impacted, nor were students evacuated. “The Ottawa Police Service advised us to maintain regular school operations while they conducted their investigation,” Hunter said following the first round of emails. “The police were on site and, with staff, did a search of the schools. The police completed their search and confirmed there was no threat. “As a precaution, we maintained additional security in the building throughout the day,” she said, adding that police provided this service. Ottawa’s English Catholic schools did not directly receive threatening emails, but are closely monitoring the situation, board spokeswoman Mardi de Kemp confirmed. Police are urging anyone with information on these incidents to contact them at 613-236-1222. - With files from Metro Ottawa

ETFO labour action ends, support workers also reach deal Steph Willems
steph.willems@metroland.com
Work-to-rule was nowhere to be seen at the province’s elementary schools on the morning of Nov. 3, a day after the union representing those teachers struck a tentative agreement with the province. The Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario (ETFO) had been
without a collective agreement for 14 months, a situation that led to increasing labour action starting in late spring. The union was the last teacher’s federation to forge a deal with the province and Ontario Public School Boards’ Association (OPSBA). Following the announcement late Oct. 2, an immediate halt was called to all labour action by the
union’s 78,000 members. The details of the tentative deal will remain a secret until it is ratified. “This round of bargaining has been exceptionally lengthy and difficult but in the end we achieved a tentative agreement that ETFO believes is fair and meets the needs of our members,” said ETFO President Sam Hammond in a media release.
tario Secondary Schools Teachers Federation, the Catholic teacher’s union and French teacher’s union received a total of $2.5 million to remain at the bargaining table.
“ETFO is a democratic organization and ultimately it is the membership that will determine whether this tentative agreement is acceptable … Local leaders will now focus their efforts on reaching agreements in their respective school boards.” The ETFO was facing an ultimatum by the province, which had stated previously that it would give school boards the ability to dock teacher’s pay if the labour action continued. With the agreement signed, report cards held back by work-torule activities should begin flowing to parents and students. “We have specifically agreed that the full progress reports — including comments — will be prepared for all the elementary students in the English public system,” stated Ontario Education Minister Liz Sandals following the announcement, adding that the cards should be sent out on Dec. 11. The deal, according to Sandals, is in line with the offers made to the other teachers unions, and remains a ‘net zero’ bargain. No provincial money flowed to the ETFO during the bargaining process to offset union costs, a situation that caused controversy after it was revealed that the On-
“We have specifically agreed that the full progress reports — including comments — will be prepared for all the elementary students in the English public system.” Education Minister Liz Sandals
Tentative contract agreement was also reached with the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) for school support workers. Those 55,000 workers – in all four school board systems - had also been on a work-to-rule campaign, one which has now ended. A further 15,000 support staff represented by OSSTF are now the last education workers without an agreement. Their work-to-rule action continues. - With files from Torstar News Service

Residents honoured for community safety efforts Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com
An Orléans police officer was among the seven big winners at Crime Prevention Ottawa’s 2015 Community Safety Awards. Staff. Sgt. David Zackrias tied with Vanier community police officer Cst. Jacques Carrière for the Law Enforcement Professional Award at the ceremony held at city hall on Nov. 2. Zackrias was recognized for his work in the diversity and race relations division. He’s worked with different groups in the community, as well as with Ottawa’s faith leaders on the issue of radicalization. “At a time when the city was reeling from the Parliament Hill shootings, Staff Sgt. Zackrias brought a message of hope to the city’s mosques and built stronger relationships with the Muslim community,” said Mark Sutcliffe, the co-master of ceremonies. “We, as an organization, need to reflect the community we serve,” Zackrias said. “I know their experiences, I know some of their challenges, and I try and help them navigate some of those challenges.” He was among the seven award winners at the event, organized by CPO. Mayor Jim Watson told the award recipients that the city appreciates the work they’ve

There were two leadership awards presented to individuals, one a youth, and one an adult. Tammy Corner was recognized for her work as a health promoter with the PinecrestQueensway Community Health Centre. She’s been involved in projects that help residents of low-income neighbourhoods speak up, and work with community organizations. “Friendly, hard-working and an excellent communicator, Tammy is passionate about community developBRIER DODGE/METROLAND ment, and she has made herCity of Ottawa employee Frempon Bafi-Yeboa, centre, ac- self an invaluable part of the cepts an award from Coun.

Barbara Laurenstin, the other co-host of the event. The youth award went to teenager Stanford Miaro, who now attends Carleton University but was a student at Longfields Davidson Heights Secondary School last year. He said he was inspired after hearing Glen Canning speak about his daughter, Rehtaeh Parsons, who committed suicide after she was sexually assaulted, to help launch ManUp!, which speaks out against violence against women. “According to one of his teachers at Longfields Davidson Heights Secondary School, Stanford embodies everything our community looks for in a man,” Sutcliffe said. “Stanford stepped in when a friend was harassing his girlfriend in the school cafeteria. To his fellow students, he became a hero for
standing up and speaking out against violence.” He helped organize an event that gathered 1,000 Barrhaven boys to speak about issues such as violence and sexting. “We’re just regular typical high school guys, there’s not much special about us, except we’re the ones who got together and decided we’re going to make this change,” Miaro said. “We’re trying to get to other guys like us to tell them to do the right thing.” There were several youth who took part in the musical part of the evening.

Hunt Club apartment fire quickly knocked down Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com
Flames and heavy smoke forced tenants from a 12-storey apartment building in the Hunt Club community. Multiple 911 callers reported heavy smoke pouring from a unit on the eighth floor of a high-rise tower at 3360 Paul Anka Dr., near Uplands Drive, on Oct. 30 around 8:30 a.m. River Coun. Riley Brockington was just beginning his work day at his ward office at the nearby Hunt Club-Riverside Park Community Centre when he looked out his window and spotted orange smoke. Not being able to see the apartment building, the councillor didn’t think anything of it, chalking it up to an after-effect of the sunrise. Moments later fire trucks from Station 33 on McCarthy Road raced up the street. It was only when Brockington heard a ladder truck from the Alta Vista station roar by a minute later that he peeked out the blinds once more. “And he is just ripping up McCarthy Road because I can hear his air horn coming all the way,” he said. “At this point I stand up again and I look out

from the get-go and called for additional resources,” he said. Police closed the intersection to allow fire crews to battle the blaze, which blew out the window of the unit where the fire started. Firefighters were able to quickly reach the affected unit and attack it from within to minimize damage and keep it from spreading to neighbouring units. “That’s one of the tactics we use for this kind of fire – we want to fight it from the inside out,” Rainboth said. “It’s good when it all comes together,” he said. “It didn’t cause any further damage to the building.” An investigator was called to the scene, but the cause of the fire and financial tally of the damages to the structure and contents of the apartment unit were not immediately available. “There was damage to the hallways on the eighth floor, but into the other units (it) will be very limited,” Rainboth said. Most evacuated residents were allowed back into the high-rise by mid-morning, but those living on the seventh and eighth floors were asked to stay longer at the community centre on Paul Anka Drive to allow the smoke to clear and allow a fire investigator to examine the area. No one was injured in the incident.

It’s all about the canine A friend in need asked us to look after her basset hound for a week. I have a confession to make – my husband and I aren’t what you’d call “dog people.” The children, on the other hand, have been begging for a dog since the moments they first learned to speak, so we decided to give it a go. There are pros and cons to this arrangement. Let me start with the cons. The evening following the dog’s arrival, our feline friend took one sniff at the door and refused to cross the threshold. Twenty-four hours later, I found him hanging out at a neighbour’s house with two cats and, get this, a dog. Our second-hand cat was raised with a dog, he acts like a dog, but he was not having a dog in his house. I got him home and he spent the next four days hiding behind the washing machine. A few times we tried to get the dog and the cat together. The dog, who also happens to live with a cat on a regular basis, was totally down with his feline friend. But the cat just hissed, refused to get comfortable and could not activate his purring mechanism, no matter how hard we tried. On the pro side, the dog is pretty quiet. It sleeps most of the day and saunters about the house. I tried to throw it a ball in the backyard once – it went in for a single fetch very rambunctiously, but then gave up on the second throw and went back to sniffing leaves – which brings me to a con: brown autumn leaves and mud hide dog poo. I’ve been trying to clean up the poo as soon as it drops,
BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse but when I don’t, it’s like Where’s Waldo for poo out there. My shoe always finds the stuff eventually, and it doesn’t make the doormat smell so good.
Despite a week of early bedtimes in my postelection, detoxification phase of life, I’ve yet to have a full night’s sleep. The dog has whimpered at 4:30 a.m., 3:30 a.m., 2:30 a.m. Every day it gets earlier. I’m thinking I’m a sucker. On the pro side, the dog only eats a couple of times per day, likes belly rubs and is extremely gentle with the children. Providing it gets a belly rubs at regular intervals, it’s happy. On the con side, it sometimes wants belly rubs when I’ve just put on a black dressy outfit for work, leaving its white fur speckled across my outfit. Pro? The dog sleeps at night. Con? It’s figured out that with a whimper, I will jump up from the dead of sleep to let it out for a pee.

She knows I’m the one to feed her, love her and take her outside most of the time. She sleeps on the floor by my office chair, attempting to climb on my lap once in a while – which, of course, is impossible because she’s a basset hound. She’s found my new pillow – the one without the pillow case – and turned it into a bed for her. She’s realized that an unexpected gallop into my son’s room will give her an extra snack during the day, because that’s where we’ve “hidden” the cat bowls. For all the hard work of loving a dog, it’s been a great benefit to the family. One of my children, who tends toward the moody end of the spectrum, inexplicably has been calm all week. This just five days after I wondered whether or not we should send him away to boarding school. The other, who has a hard time getting out of bed most mornings, has been eager to bounce up and feed the dog and give her a morning rub. I’m not keen for my permanent alarm clock to be a sloppy face lick each morning at 5:30 a.m., but it’s certainly drawn out some empathy from deep in my gut. In short, the dog’s OK. As for the cat? Well, he’s coming around.

Voter turnout worth cheering
C
anadians took advantage of their right to vote in numbers that haven’t been seen in decades when all the ballots were counted in the Oct. 19 federal election. As a pure percentage of eligible voters who cast ballots, either on election day or in advance polls, the preliminary 68.49 per cent voter turnout from Elections Canada is not that impressive. But compared to federal elections of the past few decades, that turnout was a significant increase over voter participation rates in the low 60s that have been the norm. This election’s turnout was the highest since 69.6 per cent bothered to vote in 1993, which also happens to be the last time a sitting majority government went down to defeat. But since the 1993 election, the number of eligible voters participating had been headed on a steady march downward, including the dismal turnout recorded in the 2011 federal election – and in a freesociety such as Canada, dismal is the only way to describe the 61.1 per cent turnout then. This spike in voter participation occurred despite the doom and gloom that some people forecast because of the previous Conservative government’s Fair Elections Act, which many critics said made it harder
to vote without approved identification and thus would, in effect, suppress the vote even further. But campaigns to get people out to vote, which have been ongoing for years, seem to have paid off this time. Voter turnout, for example, among First Nations communities was up significantly, in some ridings by 250 per cent. Other non-partisan get-outthe-vote efforts such as those undertaken at many universities across the country, including here in Ottawa, also played a significant role in getting voters to polling stations. In the Ottawa region, the higher than normal turnout was even more striking as numbers were well above the national average in all of the region’s ridings. For example, 80.91 of eligible voters in OrlÊans – 77,811 voters – cast ballots. In advance polls, the Ottawa Centre riding had the highest number of advance ballots cast of any riding in Canada, with the OrlÊans riding recording the second highest number of advance ballots cast in the entire country. The question now is whether the upswing in voter turnout is the start of a worthy trend, or a one-time spike in voting that occurred because of the specific circumstances of the just concluded campaign. We’ll get the answer to that question in four years.

t might be a bit late for Canada Post to be halting the community mailbox program. By latest count the number of people with community mailboxes almost equals the number of people with home delivery. Further, some of the people who have community mailboxes actually like them. But it had to be done. This is more about symbolism than anything and it was important for the new government to keep its promise to revisit the issue and for Canada Post to be responsive to the new government. The symbolism is about doing things differently, about listening to the people, and so on. If, when the new government comes in, it says, oops sorry, it turns out we couldn’t

Post but, again, this may not be about cost. Instead, it may be about providing essential services, regardless of cost. Symbolism is involved here too: a government that says it is willing to run deficits can’t seem to be slavishly worshipping the bottom line when important services to Canadians are at stake. It can be argued on both sides, both as government policy and as delivery of mail. As noted above, you can read letters to the editor from people who enjoy having a community mailbox. And you can see photographs of people who lie down on the site to prevent the community mailbox from being installed. Those who have just had their door-to-door delivery taken away are understandably upset. And they may be doubly upset when they see that others have been able, through the luck of the political draw, to keep the mail coming to their door.

The resulting resentment may be the definition of a First World problem, but hey, this is the First World. As a friend noted the other day, the guy you wouldn’t want to be is the one who tries to figure out what to do with all those community mailboxes that are waiting to be gifted to unsuspecting neighbourhood streets. They must take up a lot of room, and it’s not as if you can exactly throw them out in the trash. (If so, would they qualify as blue box, or regular garbage?) It is not necessarily a sure thing that they will not be deployed. But assuming they are not, Canada Post is going to have to find alternate uses for them, thousands of them. Perhaps they can be melted down and turned into – what? Commemorative paper weights, perhaps. Or maybe filing cabinets for very short files. Here’s another idea. Pile them all up into a giant heap.

The provincial government has tabled legislation aimed at making workplaces and campuses safer from sexual violence and harassment. The Sexual Violence and Harassment Action Plan, tabled on Oct. 27, maps out how institutions and businesses can become more responsive to survivors of sexual violence and to complaints about harassment. If passed, the act would require post-secondary institutions, including private career colleges, to create sexual violence policy that would be reviewed every three years. Requirements for sexual harassment prevention programs would be enhanced at workplaces, along with the requirement that employers must follow up on complaints. In the legal system, the limitation period for civil proceedings based on sexual assault would be removed, meaning people would be able to bring forward claims when they choose. The
limitation period for survivors to make compensation applications would also be eliminated. “(The act) would make changes to various pieces of legislation,” said Community Safety Minister Yasir Naqvi. “Another very important change in the bill that has been tabled is something that I championed on behalf of the community, and tabled as a private member’s bill called Escaping Domestic Violence Act (2011). What that bill – now adopted by the government in this bill – does is shorten the timeline to terminate a lease if the tenant is a victim of domestic or sexual violence, so that we can help that victim find a safe place to be. “It came about as a result of a victim of sexual violence who told me of her situation.

Ottawa International Airport saw a stronger than usual police presence the evening of Oct. 27, but not because of an actual emergency. The airport was the site of a major training exercise involving police, firefighters, airport staff and paramedics, among other community partners. the response plan, including public safety, co-ordination among responders, passenger care, airfield operations and health and medical, among others,� Kealey said a statement, noting the exercise was extra challenging because it took place at night. Officials deemed the drill a success given the effective communication and collaboration among the agencies that took part. “Most importantly, lessons are learned in a training environment rather than during a real emergency,� Kealey said. Mark Laroche, authority
president and chief executive, said in a real emergency a co-ordinated response by emergency personnel is critical. “Bringing these groups together to practice puts the entire airport community in an increased state of readiness,� he said in a statement. “We will review the outcomes together and address any areas that require attention or change.� Transport Canada legislation requires airports to stage these types of safety exercises involving mock scenarios related to incidents involving major aircraft.

ADOPTION AWARENESS MONTH This November, the Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa wants you to know a little more about some of the children living right in our city. Children of all ages and backgrounds need a foundation to build their lives on. A foundation helps in healthy development and creates a sense of self-worth; to feel a sense of belonging. Children get that foundation from a permanent family who cares for them. But due to any number of reasons, children sometimes come into the care of The Children's Aid Society of Ottawa. In the rare case where they can’t return home, a child will then begin a journey that will hopefully end with them finding stability through adoption. Adoption isn't just beneficial for the children. Adoptive parents can add fulfilment and joy to their lives as well. They haven’t simply done a good thing, they will also develop rewarding and lifelong bonds.

A stronger than usual presence of emergency personnel converged on the Ottawa International Airport for a mock emergency scenario involving an aircraft downed by a drone – part of a major safety training exercise designed to test the airport’s emergency response plan. “The strike damaged the aircraft and caused it to crash on the airfield, resulting in significant loss of life and injuries,â€? airport authority spokeswoman Krista Kealey said of the mock scenario for the emergency response test that was held the evening of Oct. 27. The training exercise was led by the authority’s security and emergency management team. The public, including passengers and visitors were told in advance not to be alarmed if they saw a number of emergency vehicles and activity on the airfield. The 220 emergency responders involved included Ottawa police, paramedics, firefighters, Air Canada staff and students from Algonquin College, MedVent and La CitĂŠ CollĂŠgial, as well as observers from several agencies and organizations interested in the large-scale emergency exercise. “The scenario was intended to test several areas of

Residents were invited to review the recommendations that have been developed by City Staff to address traffic concerns along Queensdale Avenue, Kingsdale Avenue and Rosebella Avenue between Bank Street and Albion Road. The study has examined the road conditions from the perspective of all users, including; pedestrians, cyclists, drivers and adjacent residential property owners. City staff presented the three options that have been generated as potential traffic calming scenarios for this neighbourhood. To review the three possible scenarios and to stay up to date on the study, please visit www.ottawa.ca/blossomparkwest. ca. City staff will be accepting comment sheets until November 15th 2015. If you would like to submit a comment sheet, please contact Eric Ouiet at eric.ouimet@ottawa.ca or drop by my ward office at the Greenboro Community Centre.

Residents living along Walkley Road West took a three-hour stand against speeding, aggressive drivers and high traffic volumes on Oct. 31. In addition to putting up lawn signs encouraging drivers to slow down, some parked their cars in three-hour parking spots along Walkley Road between Avoncourt Way and McCarthy Road, effectively reducing the four-lane strip to two lanes – one on each side. “So we reduced Walkley to two lanes and it was lovely,” said Marika Magro, co-chair of the West Walkley Residents Action Committee, which is concerned with mounting traffic problems in Riverside Park, including speeding, aggressive motorists, higher traffic volumes and cutthrough traffic. Some residents also volunteered to drive their cars up and down Walkley going 50 km/hr, which is the maximum speed limit. However, locals say motorists are often racing by at much
onto Walkley from the Airport Parkway. “If, and when, they build the off-ramp, those things are going to be exacerbated,” Magro said. “It’s going to be twice as bad.” The recent community gathering was intentionally held on Halloween in an effort to advocate for safety on a day when more children and families are out trick-or-treating. From noon to 3 p.m., residents spoke with passersby to encourage safety in the community for pedestrians and cyclists, and handed out leaflets on their efforts. “There’s a lot of children in this community, and that’s our fight right now,” said Magro, mother of a 16-year-old girl and 11-year-old boy, who both walk to schools in the area. The action committee plans to continue with its campaign, though next steps have not yet been finalized. “I’m not going to say it’s going to be the last,” Magro said of the Oct. 31 event. “It was successful and people walking by were asking questions. They are very concerned about the ramp.

Names of female trailblazers could come to street near you Erin McCracken
erin.mccracken@metroland.com
If you live on a street where a name change is needed, your address could one day feature the name of a female Canadian trailblazer. The names of 11 women, submitted by GloucesterSouthgate Coun. Diane Deans and College Coun. Rick Chiarelli, have been successfully vetted and pre-approved through the city’s commemorative street-naming process. “It just seemed like such a great idea to me,” said Deans. “I’ve always been a strong proponent of women, and I think that we need to celebrate our successes as women.” DUPLICATION
Any street names in Deans’ or Chiarelli’s wards that need to be changed due to name duplication can now be renamed in honour of an accomplished Canadian woman, considered “innovative, determined and
historically important,” the councillors said in a joint press release on Oct. 27. Duplicate names, which became an issue following the city’s amalgamation in 2001, have been a concern for emergency responders trying to find the right address when dispatched. “When you have somebody at two in the morning calling for an ambulance and the ambulance goes to the wrong street with the same name, that’s a double problem because you disturb and terrify the people (whose house) you show up at, and you don’t show up at the correct one,” said Chiarelli. Though some residents say the issue is nullified by the advent of GPS, the problem lies with those callers who don’t report the right address. “Police, fire and ambulance go to the correct address if you give it to them,” Chiarelli said. Deans gave the example of Cahill Drive in Greenboro,
which echoes Cahill Drive West in River Ward’s Hunt Club community. Rutherford is also an all too common street name. Rutherford Crescent, Rutherford Court and Rutherford Way are all within spitting distance of each other in north Kanata. For this reason, Rutherford Street near Algonquin College is being renamed Lentini Way. Following amalgamation, a city committee eliminated about 160 duplicates, but another remained. Since then, the renaming process has moved slowly, largely stalled due to controversy and opposition from people unwilling to see their street name altered. “The first 160 were not too bad, but you always get people getting very emotional and angry,” said Chiarelli, pointing to the elimination of one of two Richmond Roads and the subsequent creation of the longer Robertson Road in Bells Corners. “People took it very, very
Submitted
Eleven names of female Canadian trailblazers have been pre-approved for some duplicate street names that will be changed. The initiative was driven by Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans, College Coun. Rick Chiarelli, left, and Maria Ricci, right, who has been leading a coalition spearheading the renaming after Canadian women. hard,” he said. Council decided last year to speed up the process for the 150 remaining names, or five to 10 in each ward.
“We could have taken another 15 years, but you’re tempting fate because with each one there’s a very real possibility of serious damage
being done by the fact that you have a duplicate street name,” Chiarelli said. See LOCAL, page 15

The idea to rename streets to commemorate female Canadian leaders emerged about a year and a half ago through the renaming of a municipal building at 100 Constellation Cr. in Centrepointe to the Mary Pitt Centre. Chiarelli and Deans learned through that process how few women have been commemorated, largely thanks to the efforts of a community-based coalition, led by Maria Ricci – an involved resident who drove the Mary Pitt recognition – which has been working to ensure female pioneers receive the recognition they deserve. “We decided that it would be a good thing to commemorate women who were trailblazers who either live in Ottawa or benefited the country because we’re the nation’s capital,” Chiarelli said. “We’re not going to say, ‘Just commemorate women for the sake of commemorating women,’” he said,
Canada, • Hilda Ranscombe, leader and creator of Canada’s most famous women’s hockey team, the Preston Rivulettes, • Jennie Kidd Trout, the first Canadian woman to become a licensed medical doctor, • Eileen Vollick, the first Canadian woman to become a licensed pilot. “If they’d been men, they would have been commemorated by now,” said Chiarelli. The process of naming streets after the trailblazers will begin in Deans’ and Chiarelli’s wards in early 2016. Those names not already scooped up will be made available to other wards, pending their councillor’s approval, where there are also duplicates. “So it will take some time to have all the names assigned to a street, but that will happen,” Deans said.

TRAILBLAZERS
The names of women trailblazers that have since been selected represent important firsts for women in many different fields: • Josephine Dandurand, vicepresident of the National Council of Women of Canada, • Leone Norwood Farrell, a key figure in the mass production of the polio vaccine, • Allie Vibert Douglas, the first female Canadian astrophysicist, • Elsie Knott, who became the first Canadian woman First Nation chief, • Agnes Macphail, the first woman MP, • Elizabeth Muriel Gregory MacGill, the first woman in the world to become an aircraft designer. • Maud Menten, one of the first women to earn a medical doctorate, • Lady Mary Pellatt, the first chief commissioner of Girl Guides of

Ottawa 2017 By Jim Watson In 2017, Canada will celebrate 150 years as a nation. We are working hard to prepare Ottawa to welcome the country as host of these celebrations. I still remember the excitement of Expo ’67 during Canada’s centennial year. Canada rallied together to create a year of memories and experiences that crossed generations, and we plan to do it once again during Canada’s sesquicentennial. That is why Ottawa Tourism along with the City of Ottawa and community partners created the Ottawa 2017 Bureau. As the spotlight descends upon the capital, Ottawa 2017 is working hard to position Ottawa as THE place for all Canadians to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Canada’s confederation. This is an exciting opportunity to not only commemorate the progress we’ve made as a nation, but it is a chance to look to the future. The energy, excitement and investments generated by Ottawa’s 2017 celebrations will serve as a catalyst for long-term tourism growth. In fact, tourism is Ottawa’s third largest economic sector, after the public service and high tech industry. Our aim in 2017 is to generate a significant boost in tourism, which presents a tremendous opportunity for local businesses to grow, hire, and we have made significant progress so far. I recently had the pleasure to announce that The Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences has selected Ottawa as the host city for the 2017 JUNO Awards. Ottawa has hosted the JUNO awards before and while this event was a great success, we want to do something even greater in 2017. Our vision is to fill the city with music across venues of all sizes, ending with the Awards Gala at the Canadian Tire Centre. As diverse as Canadians are, we plan to host an equally diverse selection of large signature events. Joining the JUNO awards in 2017, Ottawa is set to host the Canadian Video Game Awards, Canadian Track and Field Championships, The Canadian Olympic Curling Trials - Roar of the Rings and many more to be announced. Along with Ottawa 2017, the City of Ottawa is working hard to attract the CFL’s Grey Cup and an NHL Winter Classic. I am particularly excited at the prospect of a Winter Classic as December 19th, 2017 marks the 100th anniversary of the first NHL game ever played, between the Montreal Canadiens and the Ottawa Senators. I believe it would be a fitting tribute to commemorate Canada’s favourite past-time through hosting an outdoor Winter Classic between these two historic franchises. In addition to preparing a year of memorable celebrations, the city is undergoing unprecedented growth and infrastructure renewal to ensure we are ready to welcome the nation. At the centre of this is the Confederation Line Light Rail project which will be truly transformative. 2017 is also expected to mark the opening of the Ottawa Innovation Centre and the opening of a new Ottawa Art Gallery and revitalized Arts Court. Ottawa 2017 will be a once-in-a-lifetime celebration and I encourage you to get involved. If you would like to plan your own community even, volunteer or simply learn more, visit www.ottawa2017.ca.

Blossom Park West residents say ‘bump up’ streets to calm traffic Erin McCracken
erin.mccracken@metroland.com
Three words – bump it up – sum up how some Blossom Park West residents want the city to tackle speeding, cut-through traffic and an increase in vehicles on their residential streets. Road narrowings, speed tables and humps were the most popular solutions unveiled during a public consultation meeting at the Greenboro Community Centre on Oct. 29. “Bump up, narrowings – everything,” said Jenny Bowler, who lives on Blossom Park’s McMahon Avenue. Though she doesn’t live within the study area of Queensdale, Kingsdale and Rosebella avenues, between Bank Street and Albion Road, Bowler and her husband have regularly walked those nearby streets for several years. Their preferred option would see narrowings and seven-metre-wide speed tables, which are flat-topped speed humps, installed on all three streets to deter motorists who are just passing through the area, often at high rates of speed. “They’re coming down our residential streets. They don’t live here,” Bowler said.
Erin McCracken/Metroland
Blossom Park resident Jenny Bowler airs her views on traffic issues in Blossom Park West during a public consultation meeting at the Greenboro Community Centre Oct. 29. Residents have until Nov. 12 to provide feedback on three proposed traffic-calming scenarios for the traffic-plagued neighbourhood. “They just cut through to keep on moving instead of stopping and waiting.” The area traffic management study of the neighbourhood found that speeding is a problem, with 85 per cent of vehicles travelling 60 km/ hr or below on Queensdale, which is a 40 km/hr zone. That avenue is also a traffic magnet.
While an average of 289 vehicles travel westbound every day on Rosebella and 255 head eastbound along there every day, Queensdale sees 1,000 westbound vehicles and 1,700 heading westbound, largely due to the commercial shopping centre at the corner of Bank and Queensdale. The popular plaza entrance and exit is off Queensdale
since cars are not permitted to turn left out of the centre onto Bank, nor are northbound vehicles on Bank Street able to turn left into the centre. The study also found vehicles are not coming to a complete stop on nearby residential streets, and that these roadways are being used by cut-through motorists. As well, drivers are parking in
pedestrian lanes on each of the three focus streets. “What’s happening is that as cars are parked in the pedestrian lanes, it causes the pedestrians to actually go around into the lane to travel, so this is a pedestrian concern,” said Eric Ouimet, an area traffic management coordinator with the city. Of the 11 comments received through the initial consultation process, including seven from residents of the study area, where there are 270 homes, most raised the same concerns raised in the study. Their traffic-calming suggestions ranged from increasing police enforcement to removing stop signs to the installation of speed humps and traffic lights. PROPOSED SOLUTIONS
The first scenario unveiled at the meeting includes road narrowings at mid-block on Queensdale between Albion and First, First and Mavis and Mavis and Bank. This plan also calls for markings in pedestrian lanes to let motorists know these are reserved, as well as enacting parking restrictions south of the Sawmill Creek pathway crossing to increase visibility for pedestrians, and
the addition of pathway stop signs to remind pedestrians and cyclists they don’t have the right of way on those three streets. This scenario would also see islands placed on each side of Queensdale. “They basically create a road narrowing at that location, and what a road narrowing does is that it basically restricts the width of the road and vehicles tend to drive slower at these locations,” Ouimet said. The second alternative includes speed tables at three mid-block locations on Queensale, as well as the installation of an island on the north side of the speed hump. Residents east of Bank Street have complained that drivers are trying to avoid the humps by driving around them into the pedestrian lane, said Ouimet. The third option proposes installing speed tables at three mid-block locations on Queensdale and speed humps, measuring four metres wide, at three mid-block locations on both Rosebella and Kingsdale. This plan would include keeping the north-side islands to prevent drivers from trying to go around the humps into pedestrian lanes. See PARKING, page 20

Riverside South of future will have Main Street, town square Proposed design plan goes before planning committee this month Erin McCracken
erin.mccracken@metroland.com
Donald Morse can already picture the Riverside South of the future, and it has its own downtown, complete with boutique shops, local restaurants and a parkette town square. “This is really interesting because it’s going to be surrounded by two-storey buildings (with) shops,” said Morse, an urban planner with the city’s planning and growth management department. “They’re not going to be the national chains. They’re talking about Ontario-wide or local restaurants and boutiques and places like that.” Area landowners are already on board with the plan and excitement is mounting. “It’s gold. When you get the city and landowners on one page, things happen,” Morse said. The town square and community core are being fleshed out on paper as part of an update to the Riverside South community design plan. The vision, if approved by council, would pave the way for not only new shops and services,
but soccer fields, a community centre and new schools, among other amenities, much of them accessible by foot or bike. Residents of 12-storey towers living on the east-west rapid-bus transit line south of Earl Armstrong Road need only walk a block or two to the Main Street, just west of Limebank, for a coffee or a bite to eat. The north-south route is at the heart of the design, which has evolved since it was originally done in 2005 and updated in 2010. “The idea is to position the community for future growth,” said Morse, an urban designer with the city’s suburban services department. The plan, unveiled to residents at two public meetings over the past year, is a blueprint for the development of a mostly untouched swath of about 1,450 hectares around the intersection of Earl Armstrong and Limebank roads – most of it south of Earl Armstrong. BIG GROWTH COMING
“It’s a huge greenfield area. Actually, if you look at this CDP compared to other CDPs, this is the largest CDP we have in the city by far,” Morse said. “It’s a plan for an ultimate build-out of about 60,000 people, so it’s a very important area.” Riverside South is currently home to about 5,000 households or about 12,000 people
– and counting. By putting the plan on paper now, complete with some prezoning, it’s meant to serve as a guide that will shape future growth and development by land owners. The full build-out of the vision likely won’t be until at least 2031 or 2035, perhaps even beyond that, Morse said. For planners working on the project and for residents seeking additional amenities closer to home, the blank canvas has created excitement. “It’s basically a clean slate,” Morse said. “It’s a real opportunity to do something good here.” Downtown Riverside South, otherwise known as the community core, is being designed to serve as the gathering place for the community southwest of Earl Armstrong and Limebank. The detailed plan calls for a 1,600-car park-and-ride, where commuters would catch rapidbus transit – and one day light rail at a nearby station – is located just west of the community hub. The locations of the park-andride and an eight-acre woodlot, which had to be reduced in size because the city didn’t have the money to purchase the land, have allowed the southerly extension of Canyon Walk, which will link to the park-and-ride and transit station.

Ottawa South News - Thursday, November 5, 2015
“OC Transpo wanted that,” Morse said, adding that the entire east-west transit line will one day be converted to light rail, though that could be 50 or so years away. Near one of two transit stations within the core, planners have looked to 12-storey building heights in Kanata’s town centre as a model. Those living in those future towers east of Limebank will be able to park underground, and walk to the stations and stores. “I think it’s likely something that could happen here,” Morse said, adding that while this will promote walkability and pedestrian connections, there still needs to be available parking and underground garages are key. “It’s a balancing act. We can’t apply the same culture downtown that we do in the suburbs because the bottom line is people still have cars and we have to plan for that.” At the southwest quadrant of the core will be a three-storey French public high school adjacent to a district park, community centre, possibly a small library, a weight-training facility, as well as sports fields. The soccer fields would be shared by the school and the city, a prime example of efficient land use, said Morse. “Why does the city have to build one and the school, right next door, build their own?” he said. “We build one together. So there’s an
efficiency by sharing.” A portion of the community centre could be constructed within the next decade, but the rest has no set timeline. The city has earmarked two possible sites for a new one-storey recreation complex with ice pads and possibly an indoor pool and soccer field east of St. Francis Xavier Catholic High School on Spratt Road, and an alternate site north of Spratt on the west side of Limebank. In addition to a French public high school, the design also provides space for two English public high schools, a second English Catholic high school and a French Catholic high school. Timelines for the construction of these were not immediately available. The plan also makes room for grocery store plazas. The city is close to approvals on two plazas, one northeast of Earl Armstrong and Limebank and another southeast of that intersection, which could both be built within the next three years. Next steps in the process include presenting the proposed design plan to the city’s planning committee on Nov. 24 and to council in December. The final document is expected to be available in the late winter or early spring. For details on the plan, visit ow.ly/UaOma.

Parking prohibitions included in traffic-calming goodie bag Continued from page 18
Residents were most enamoured by the third alternative, but some asked if the narrowings in the first scenario could be added to Queensdale in this option. “Because that is a busy street,” said Bowler. But Darlene Bisaillon, who has lived on Queensdale Avenue for about 30 years, said the addition of tables and humps would mean more air-break noise from buses going over these. “You don’t want them then again stopping for a speed bump and making the same noise again,” she said. All three traffic-calming scenarios would see parking prohibitions on the north side of Queensdale, Kingsdale and Rosebella where there are pedestrian lanes. One Rosebella Avenue resident expressed concern these would push those cars to park somewhere else. “Certainly those that live on Queensdale
park on Mavis all the time,” she said, which is already a narrow street that doesn’t have a lot of room. Ouimet said the answer lies with residents and what their priorities are. Though there is speeding on Bisaillon’s street, she said there is little that can be done to reduce traffic there, especially since the main entrance into the shopping centre is off Queensdale. Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans said changing the Bank Street entrance to alleviate that remains a low probability because the city signed off on site-plan agreements before the plaza was built on private property. The traffic-calming scenario preferred by residents could be installed within the next year. Residents have until Nov. 12 to comment on the scenario by emailing Eric Ouimet at eric.ouimet@ottawa.ca, or calling 613-5802424, ext. 12393.

Kiwanis Club of Rideau relocates, reaches out to new neighbours Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com
COME IN KIWANIS CLUB OF RIDEAUSUBMITTED
Members of the Kiwanis Club of Rideau held an open house on Oct. 29 at the Maplewood Retirement Community in Riverview Park, to mark its relocation to Riverview Park this past spring from Nepean. Club members met with volunteers representing several area community associations, including Brian Biggs, front centre, from the South Keys Greenboro Community Association, to exchange ideas.
“It became clear during the discussions that the objectives and activities of local community associations are closely aligned with the objectives of Kiwanis.” JIM PUSKAS, PRESIDENT, KIWANIS CLUB OF RIDEAU
contributed more than $15,000 to local charities in recent years, according to the club’s website. Members have also helped out at the Salvation Army, with the Canadian Tire Jump-

The Kiwanis Club of Rideau has a new home, and club members have already reached out to their neighbours to exchange ideas and explore how they can work together. Members met with a number of volunteers from several community associations, including Riverview Park, Pineview, Fairlea, South KeysGreenboro and Canterbury, during an open house on Oct. 29 at the Maplewood Retirement Community in Riverview Park, where the club members now meet. “The event was held to introduce residents of our community to the Kiwanis Club of Rideau which has recently relocated in this part of the city, east of the Rideau River, and to explore ways that Kiwanis can work together with others in the community to address issues of mutual concern,” said Jim Puskas, club president. “It became clear during the discussions that the objectives and activities of local community associations are closely aligned with the objectives of Kiwanis, especially focusing on improving the lives of children,” he said in an email. For example, the Kiwanis club sponsors the Key Club at Rideau High School, which allows local teens to attend a special weekend camp each year. The club, which was formed in 1955, also supports other local and international children’s programs, and has

Hunt Club Park Firefighters responded to reports of flames coming from the back of a house at 153 Solera Circle in South Keys on Oct. 30. File
Fire crews knock down South Keys house fire Erin McCracken
erin.mccracken@metroland.com
Flames coming from the back of a townhome in South Keys were aggressively battled and quickly knocked down by Ottawa firefighters. Fire crews were called to 153 Solera Circle, near Hunt Club and Albion roads, just before noon on Oct. 30. The flames were eating away at the back exterior of the house and had spread into the roof, said Capt. Bob Rainboth, Ottawa fire spokesman.
A prompt response by firefighters from Station 31 in Hunt Club Park proved key in ensuring the fire didn’t damage neighbouring residences. “The fact that the initial crews were able to put the fire out quickly, it didn’t extend into the other units,” said Rainboth, adding the house that caught fire was in a row of six attached homes. The cause and source of the fire, as well as estimated damages to the structure and contents, were not immediately known. No one was injured in the incident.
Teen arrested after transit driver assaulted at Hurdman station: police Erin McCracken

OC Transpo constables arrested a knife-wielding teen at the Hurdman transit station, after they say he threatened a bus driver. The incident unfolded on Oct. 28, around 2:20 p.m. Police allege a bus driver at the station, located near Riverside Drive and Industrial Avenue, was pushed and threatened by a male suspect on Oct. 28, around 2:20 p.m. The driver was not operating a bus at the time of the incident. “Special constables from OC Transpo on scene were able to arrest the male,” said Const. Chuck Benoit, Ottawa police spokesman. “Nobody was injured.” Ottawa police were called to the area and took over the arrest process from the special constables. “The male was arrested and the weapon was still on him at the time,” said Benoit.

As Remembrance Day approaches (November 11), let us take a moment to reflect on the sacrifices made by our veterans, young and old in defending the greatest country on Earth. Lest Us Never Forget those who did not make it home. In addition to the National Remembrance Ceremony at the National War Memorial on Elgin Street, local schools in River Ward will also host ceremonies that you may attend. I will be laying a wreath at W.E. Gowling PS (River Ward) on November 11. Ottawa 2017 Public Information Session Community groups are invited to attend an Ottawa 2017 Public Information Session held at City Hall on November 12 from 6:30-8pm. As the City of Ottawa continues to plan for a full year of celebrations commemorating Canada’s 150th birthday, this is a great opportunity for community groups to learn more about what is being planned and what funding may be available to assist with your own plans. It is my hope that local community groups in River Ward, as well as local residents, not only invite out of town family and friends to join the party in 2017, but also consider planning their own unique celebration. Public Consultation – Former Bayview PS Property Earlier this autumn, I circulated 3,000 community bulletins to the Riverside Park North community regarding the history of the former Bayview PS property, located at 3071 Riverside Drive and the upcoming plans by the City to rezone and sell portions of that land. Following my final meetings with local residents next week, I will provide all residents who have contacted me as part of the consultation period with an information update that summarizes the main questions/concerns asked and also provide timelines going forward. If you would like to be included with future updates, please contact my office.

The application deadline is Tuesday, November 10. Test your Home for Radon Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas found in the soil and ground. You cannot see, smell or taste radon. When radon is outdoors, it escapes into the atmosphere and is diluted into low concentrations that pose no health risk to individuals. When radon is escaping from the ground into homes through differences between indoor and outdoor pressure levels, the concentration and accumulation levels become higher and become a health risk. Radon can enter the home in openings where a home is in contact with the soil. Because radon levels can rise and fall during the day and seasonally, Health Canada recommends a long-term radon test performed over a period of three months to get an accurate measurement of a home’s annual exposure. These test kits can be purchased from a local home improvement retailer and sent to a lab to get your results.

Nova Scotia singer Dave Gunning and Garnet Rogers, the younger brother of folk legend Stan Rogers, are set to join forces for the Ottawa Grassroots Festival this April. The festival announced the two will play together as the headline act for the Saturday night show – April 23 – of the four-day event. “That’s going to be a treat that night,” said festival producer Bob Nesbitt.
November 7 & 8 Saturday 9-5 SuNday 10-4
6th aNNual Show& Sale
“They’re both great on their own and putting them together will be really quite something.” The two musicians usually perform separately, but agreed to play together for the festival seeing as Rogers is already performing a solo show in Ottawa on March 11, said Nesbitt. “It’s often not the norm for them but if it’s something that works magically, they may perform together in the future,” Nesbitt said. Rogers started playing music with his older brother at the age of six and hit the road with him shortly after high school, playing across North America. He would go on to release 16 studio albums over his career. Gunning – who lists Stan Rogers among his influences – was nominated for a Juno Award in 2012 for his brand of Maritime folk music. He recently released his 11th solo album, Lift. The festival also announced Ottawa singer-
songwriter Kristine St. Pierre will open for Rogers and Gunning. The Grassroots Festival recently indicated it will be moving to the Southminster United Church in Old Ottawa South this year after outgrowing the Montgomery branch of the Royal Legion on Kent Street. The festival, which is volunteer run, was first held in 2012 and has since attracted folk, bluegrass and roots musicians from across Canada. Originally just a one-day event, the festival has added an extra day of concerts and activities every year since then. The Grassroots Festival is set to take place from April 21-24, but Nesbitt said he is considering adding a fifth day this year if he has enough volunteers to make it feasible. “It’s not too much work to add another day but it depends on the volunteers,” Nesbitt said. “We don’t want to tire them out.” Nesbitt said more headliners will be announced in November.

The Riverside South Community Association will be hosting its annual general meeting at the Rideauview Community Centre on November 19th at 7:30pm. This is a great opportunity to put your ideas and suggestions forward to help make our community a better place. An association representative will discuss their accomplishments from the past year, disclose their financial statements and elect new board members. I hope to see you there. As you may know, the city is presently renewing three culverts on River Road between Tewsley Drive and Leitrim Road. This work is expected to be completed by Nov 13th, weather permitting. Due to the depth of the existing culvert and the extent of buried utilities and infrastructure that surrounds it, River Road will close for one week to expedite this culvert replacement. Traffic will be detoured via Earl Armstrong, Limebank Road and Leitrim Road. Advanced signage will be put in place to notify residents of the road closure. A notice has also been delivered to residents along River Road (between Leitrim and Earl Armstrong) and to the adjacent neighbourhoods in advance of the work.

1480 Heron Rd. So far, three pairs have joined the Kanata group, singing in both French and English. For Gagnon, the group is a relaxing and enjoyable activity, and has been able to spark her memory, said Landry. “One of the songs that we sang was Farewell to Nova Scotia. That was a more familiar song to her and it reminded her of my dad who had served in the military and had done his basic training in Nova Scotia, and so it reminded her of him and those years,” said Landry. Research has shown that, even in people with severe memory loss, music can bring back memories thought to be irretrievable, said Wright. “When you can offer people music that they are particularly familiar with, and even if they are in the advanced stages of dementia, it can often bring back some memories and it can really bring joy and sometimes bring people alive again,” she said, making reference to the documentary Alive Inside, which follows a nonprofit organization that advocates for the use of music therapy for dementia patients. Wright says she’s seen the positive effects of the Alzheimer society’s own music program, and hopes more and more people join. “Several of the caregivers have said that the joy and the happiness that they get from that hour-and-a-half (of the program) often lasts for a couple of days, so to me that’s just amazing, and it’s just wonderful to be able to do something small to help them live better with dementia,” she said. The program, available to those with early to mid-stage dementia, costs $84 per pair (the caregiver and the person with dementia). For more information, go to alzheimerottawa.ca/minds-in-song/.

It’s like a spark. An old song begins to play and even after just the first couple notes, the lyrics, supposedly long forgotten, start floating through your head. And as you sing, along come memories of what that time was like when that song used to play all the time. It’s that sequence of events that a new sing-a-long program, just starting in Herongate and Kanata, hopes to cause in the minds of those with dementia. The program, called Minds in Song, began last year after three women got together to create a fun, social activity that people with dementia and their caregivers could do together. Kathy Wright, the executive director for the Alzheimer Society of Ottawa and Renfrew County, was one of the three, along with volunteers Roseann Hoffenberg and Barbara Schulman. “It’s been for me personally one of the most rewarding things that I’ve done to see the joy on the face of the folks who are singing,” said Wright. After growing their first group, located in Hintonburg, to 30 people up from eight, and many more waiting to join, the Alzheimer society took over the program, and has expanded it into Kanata and the Herongate community. Michelle Landry who lives near Kanata Lakes learned about the singing program that got started this fall at the Eva James Memorial Community Centre in Kanata just as she was learning about dementia and the Alzheimer society. Her 90-year-old mother, Madeleine Gagnon, is starting to experience some of the early stages of dementia, and Landry was researching what resources and supports could be available to her. After reading about the Minds in Song program, Landry thought it could help her mother as well as be a fun activity for them both. “I’ve seen her at the residence where she lives … when they have musical entertainment. I see how much she gets into it, so I thought, ‘Well this would be a wonderful opportunity.’” The group meets every other Tuesday, and is led by musician Jennifer Noxon. In Herongate, the group meets every other Monday, from Nov. 5 to Dec. 14, from 10:30 to noon, at
I am pleased to report that Education Minister Liz Sandals made an announcement at Holy Family Catholic School on October 23rd confirming funding for a new public elementary school in Findlay Creek. As many of you know, one of my first acts as Councillor was to write the Minister, highlighting the importance of a new school in this area. Leitrim Elementary is expected to have 39 child-care spaces, rooming nearly 700 students from kindergarten to Grade 8. Construction is expected to be completed for the 2017 school year. With over 2700 households and growing, this is a much needed addition to the Findlay Creek community. I would like to thank the provincial government for delivering this funding and our local MPP and school trustee for their work on this project.

Transit lane construction Culvert work closes portion of River Road, except to locals affects Industrial Ave. Staff
Evening lane reductions, sidewalk closures and pedestrian detours will remain in place on Industrial and Sandford Fleming avenues until early December to allow for the construction of a transit priority lane. The new lane is being built on southbound Sanford Fleming Drive and westbound on Industrial from Sanford Fleming to Riverside Drive. The project will also see the widening of Industrial Avenue and the relocation of traffic
signals, street lights and catch basins, the city said in a statement. “All work requiring lane reductions will be done at night to minimize traffic impacts,” the statement reads. “Access to Canada Post will be maintained at all times. Pedestrians will be detoured at signalized intersections.” Motorists are encouraged to be on the lookout for construction vehicles and workers, pedestrians, cyclists and other drivers. Signage will be in place reminding drivers to slow down and share the road.

Artists celebrate Halloween in style with Artinis fundraiser Brier Dodge
brier.dodge@metroland.com
The best way to celebrate Halloween is with a whole bunch of artists. From costumes and special effects makeup, to intricate pumpkin carving and creatively plated foods, the AOE Arts Council’s Artinis fundraiser at the Shenkman Arts Centre on Oct. 29 brought out the spooky in everyone. The event is the largest fundraiser of the year for the arts council, which makes its home at Shenkman. The event drew artists from the east end, as well as politicians and many community leaders. Some artists gave live performances, including stone carver Angela Verlaeckt Clark, who was getting creative by carving pumpkins instead of her
normal material. “We’re all here because we understand and appreciate the arts,” said Mayor Jim Watson. “And understand the importance of having a vibrant local arts community in our city.” AOE arts director Victoria Steele toasted the crowd, and viewed her ideal future for the arts through her crystal ball - a glass skull head - that saw the artists taking a strong role in the 150th birthday celebrations for Canada that Ottawa will host in 2017. “The arts really make a difference in people’s lives,” she said. “Tonight and together, we can really change things.” Final fundraising totals weren’t Brier.dodge@metrolamd.com available at the time of the event, as From left, Meghan Bellefleur, Jason Bellefleur, Jim Watson, Elise Pregent and Dave Bellefleur at the AOE silent auction items and raffle tickets Arts Council’s Artinis fundraiser at the Shenkman Arts Centre on Oct. 29.

Young Minds Partnership targets youth mental-health crisis Erin McCracken
erin.mccracken@metroland.com
To meet unprecedented demand for mental-health and psychiatric services, reduce wait times and improve access to care for children and youth struggling with complex mental-health programs, CHEO and the Royal Ottawa are thinking outside the box. Faced with a 75-per-cent surge in kids harming themselves, CHEO is renewing its partnership with the Royal to develop the five-year Young Minds Partnership. Demand for mental-health emergency room services is at an all-time high at CHEO, which has been struggling with a 75 per cent increase in visits over the past five years, and a 50-per-cent increase in referrals to its outpatient clinics. “The clear problem is that too many young people are waiting too long for the services that they need,” said Alex Munter, CHEO president and chief executive. Given the soaring demand of younger patients turning to CHEO for mental-health treatment, the hospital has had to focus its inpatient efforts on stabilizing the more critical patients, said Dr. Kathleen Pajer, chief of psychiatry at the children’s hospital. “It basically demanded that we radically change our system,” she said during the unveiling of the joint strategic
plan on Oct. 29 at the Ontario Centre of Excellence for Child and Youth Mental Health, located on Industrial Avenue. The hospitals have been working together for the past 15 years, but through this renewed partnership, they hope to improve the health of kids with severe mental-health illnesses across the region, said Pajer, adding that a key element of the plan will be working with community partners. The plan is the product of research and extensive feedback from more than 850 community groups, medical experts and youth and parents. “What we heard loud and clear is ‘Get us care when we need it,’” said Pajer. More than 900 children and youth are waiting six to nine months for outpatient mental-health treatment at CHEO, while the Royal, which also has a youth program, has a sixmonth wait time. Ideally, urgent appointments should only take about three days while non-urgent appointments should be secured in three to four weeks, said Pajer. “I think we can do it,” he said, adding it will take about two years to reach this goal through the new five-year strategic plan. Over the next year, CHEO plans to implement tele-psychiatry to benefit patients in outlying hospitals, and develop new diagnostic and treatment approaches for young people
Erin McCracken/Metroland
Alex Munter, CHEO president, George Weber, president of the Royal Ottawa, Dr. Kathleen Pajer, chief of psychiatry at CHEO, and Dr. Smita Thatte, clinical director of the Royal’s youth psychiatry program, announce the development of the hospitals’ joint Young Minds Partnership on Oct. 29. The five-year strategic plan aims to reduce wait times and provide care for younger patients and those with more complex mental-health issues. with substance abuse and mental-health problems. This month, Royal and CHEO staff and physicians, along with the Youth Services Bureau, will undergo training to increase the flow of patients into and out of treatment, based on a model at the IWK Health Centre in Halifax, said Pajer, former chief of psychiatry there. “We were able, over two years, to reduce the wait time for ambulatory care mentalhealth services by 57 per cent and that was in context of an
increased demand of 68 per cent,” she said. The plan aims to ensure more help to young people waiting for treatment, focus on children under five with severe mentalhealth problems, help connect parents and caregivers to services and improve emergency care and more effectively help kids and teens with substance abuse and mental-health programs, among other strategies. “One of the goals is also to transition these youth to the adult services where it is necessary to provide them with
the continuity of care,” said Dr. Smita Thatte, clinical director of the Royal’s youth psychiatry program. The goal is to also re-dedicate more emergency room beds at CHEO to children under 12 who are experiencing severe mental-health issues. The hospital currently has 19, but these are predominantly used by children 13 to 17. CHEO will also study its bed allocation and is looking to reserve about five beds for patients under 12 since more kids – some as young as eight years old – are seeking treatment for self-harming behaviour, such as cutting. Helping more children suffering from other mental-health issues, such as anxiety disorders, is also critical. “We want to get to them, never mind earlier,” Pajer said. “A lot of them we haven’t been able to get to except after a very, very, very long time because the ones who are self-harming rise to the surface. “They sort of occupy all of our attention and the other kinds – anxiety disorders – we’re doing a good job but not good enough,” she said. “Those kids keep getting worse because we can’t get to them.” Earlier diagnosis and treatment improves the chances for long-term recovery, said George Weber, president and chief executive of the Royal Ottawa, adding that 70 to 80 per cent of most mental ill-
nesses start in childhood or adolescence. “Helping kids get healthier now will definitely give them a healthier future,” Weber said. Several reasons are at the heart of the influx in younger patients with severe mentalhealth patients. “Families are under tremendous burden and stress,” said Pajer. Recess time has been reduced, limiting the opportunities for children to play outside. Screen time is also a factor, and doctors say kids are more isolated and have less opportunity to escape from bullying now that it’s also being done online. “Really, this generation does not know the world without technology, social media and the Internet,” Thatte said, adding patients present with “a complete dependence” on tech devices. To further add to the complexity of cases, more children at a younger age are accessing drugs, she added. But once staff training is complete and the plan begins to roll out over the next six months to a year, the architects of the strategic plan are optimistic wait times will dip and treatment can be provided sooner to those harming themselves, acting aggressively towards others or thinking suicidal thoughts. “We’re hoping we can get to them earlier so they don’t get to that point of desperation,” said Pajer.

Long winter months ahead would mean being shut inside
I
t was happening again. In my mind’s eye I could see back to the year before. It seemed to happen when the weather changed from warm sunny days to a snap in the air, and when flakes of ice formed all around the watering trough in the barnyard. I just couldn’t put my finger on it, but I was old enough to know there was a change in Mother, and it happened at the same time of the year. What could it be? What had brought it on? Maybe she was worried that we wouldn’t have enough food to last us over the coming winter. But that couldn’t be. The cellar was full of preserves and canned vegetables, the smoke house full of meat, and the big barrel of sauerkraut was already out in the summer kitchen beside the smaller barrel of pickled herring. No, it couldn’t be because Mother was worried about our starving to death. But there was no doubt there was a change in her, and I could feel it in the very depth of my bones.
MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories My older and much wiser sister Audrey, if she sensed it too, wouldn’t talk about it. All she said was, “It will pass,” as if that would satisfy me, which it didn’t. Mother stopped playing her harmonica in the evening. She would bring her diaries down out of the back-to-the-wall cupboard, open one, and never raise a pencil to write in it ... just staring at a blank page. She would tap the end of the pencil on the oilcloth covering the table, and it would make a steady “plop, plop,” and I would watch her closely, but not a word was put in her diary. She still made our meals. They were as hearty as ever. There were still rows of pies on the bake table, and the smell of fresh bread met us as we came home from the North-
cote School. None of that changed. It was Mother herself who had changed, and I got an ache in the pit of my stomach and when we said our silent prayers in bed, I prayed that whatever was bothering my mother would go away. And then one day, it was a Sunday, and we had come home from church, changed into our betterthan-school clothes, when Mother sent Audrey up to the trunk in the hall and asked her to bring down the big white linen tablecloth. The white linen tablecloth? It was only used at Easter and Christmas, and was one of Mother’s most cherished possessions, which she had brought from New York when she moved to Renfrew County. She took a blue glass pitcher out of the parlour, which sat next to the
bible and put it in the centre of the table. It too had come from New York. She told Audrey to set the table and to use the dishes that had come in bags of puffed wheat from Briscoe’s General Store. The table looked like we were expecting the Queen for dinner! Mother changed into a velvet dress. Father, who wasn’t much for any change to his routine, or for fancying up the house, said nothing. He had been through this before. We sat down at the table with its shiny linen tablecloth, as many matched dishes as Audrey would find, and our usual ample dinner. Supper would be the same as it always was on a Sunday night: a repeat of the noon meal. After we had redded up the kitchen, the white table cloth put with the pile of laundry awaiting the Monday wash, the lamps lit, shooting shards of light into the corners of the darkening room, Mother went to the back door and opened it wide. The cold night air blew in. She stood there, quietly, for the longest time looking out into the black yard.
Then she sighed, as if it was coming from her boot tops, and closed the door and just stood there quietly, saying nothing. Then she took down her diaries, and her scrapbooks, sharpened her pencils with a kitchen knife, and began to write. I couldn’t say she had completely lost that melancholy look, but I was relieved to see that her mood had changed. It was almost as if she was saying, “So be it,” a phrase she used often. When we went to bed I begged Audrey to tell me what happened. She put her face close to my ear so no one but me could hear and told me that just before fall changed to winter, our mother knew that for months ahead, she’ be shut inside our old log house. There would be no escape, and that was the time she longed most for New York. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

A federal offender may have set his sights on Ottawa after he was reported missing from a Toronto halfway house. Officers with the provincial Repeat Offender Parole Enforcement Squad, known as ROPE, are now turning to the public in the hope they can help police track down Khaled Nur, 24. “We just exhausted all efforts,” said OPP Det.-Const. Steve Sermet, Toronto-based spokesman for the squad, which works with several municipal police departments, including a liaison at the Ottawa Police Service. Nur had already served more than two years behind bars for robbery and obstructing police and had been re-
leased on parole on Aug. 23 to a halfway house in downtown Toronto. Two weeks ago, halfway house staff reported Nur had breached his parole conditions. “He (abided) by all conditions and for some reason he signed out and refused to return,” Sermet said. ROPE officers turned to family members and associates of the parolee to track him down, but to no avail. They now believe he has fled Toronto. “He does have family members that live within the Ottawa region, so if anything I think he’s probably left Toronto. I would say he’s probably trying to get closer to family, (which) he’s comfortable with,” said Sermet. He did not know where in

Police were called to a store in the 2400-block of Bank Street on Oct. 28 after a male suspect wearing a black balaclava and armed with a handgun confronted two employees and demanded several different types of prescription drugs around 11 a.m. After he was given an undisclosed quantity of drugs, police said he fled to a waiting vehicle. Not long after, patrol officers located the vehicle near St. Laurent Boulevard and Walkley Road in the Elmvale Acres area, but the driver refused to stop, according to investigators.
A short, slow-speed police chase ensued, before ending a short-time later after the wanted vehicle got stuck in traffic near Walkley and Lancaster roads in the Sheffield Glen neighbourhood. “The traffic got heavy once they got onto the other side of Hawthorne Road. That’s ultimately what shut it down – it got bogged down in traffic and the patrol cars were able to pin the car,” said Staff Sgt. Michael Haarbosch, head of the police robbery unit. “He got jammed in behind another vehicle.” No damages or injuries were sustained in the chase. “As far as pursuits go, it was fairly uneventful,” Haarbosch said. The suspect, who police said is well known to them, and a female passenger were both arrested at the scene.
“After some investigation the passenger was released without charge,” said Haarbosch. An imitation handgun, later determined by investigators to be a BB gun, was also seized by police at the time of the arrests. Haarbosch, who saw the weapon, said it looked and felt like the real thing. “Even I did a double take looking at it wondering if it was an authentic pistol or not,” he said. A 25-year-old Ottawa man has been charged with two counts of robbery. He has also been charged with using an imitation firearm in the commission of an offence, wearing a disguise, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle and failure to stop for police. He was expected to appear in court Oct. 29.

More sick kids will see their wishes come true Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com
Thousands of children with severe health conditions are expected to see their wishes granted now that the Children’s Wish Foundation of Canada has announced it is expanding its eligibility criteria. The foundation made the announcement at Algonquin College on Oct. 29, saying children with serious neurological and genetic diagnoses, like severe cerebral palsy, will now be eligible to
have their wish granted. The foundation has spent 30 years focused on granting wishes to children with lifethreatening illnesses, but has decided to change its policy at the request of the medical community, said John Harlovich of the foundation’s advisory board. Due to advancements in medicine, children with severe health conditions are living into their adult years, making more and more children ineligible, he said. That would mean children like 10-year-old Charlie De

D A E R P S E
Jong, who has cerebral palsy, would be overlooked. Charlie and his parents, Matthew and Kelly, are from Monkland, east of Ottawa, and were on hand at the announcement to celebrate that Charlie and 69 other children with serious neurological and genetic diagnoses will have their wishes granted. Charlie, who uses a wheelchair to get around, wished for a pool, and in July got his wish. He swam every day this summer, said Matthew. “He’s just a different kid (in the pool),” he said, able to move in a way he otherwise can’t due to his condition. When Charlie first asked for a pool, Matthew wasn’t sure it was a good idea, but now has realized its benefit – not just for Charlie but the rest of the family as well. As Charlie has grown older and bigger, taking excur-

sions has become increasingly difficult, said his parents, and so to have a fun family activity they can take part in in their own back yard is a wish come true for them all. In announcing the foundation’s policy, Harlovich said, “Medical treatment is helping (these kids), but it may not solve all their problems day-to-day.” So, the foundation decided to expand its policy to include children whose lives continue to be very difficult due to their conditions, with the hope of spreading more smiles, he said. To that end, the foundation has a national goal of raising $10 million by 2021 in support of fulfilling more wishes, as it expects a 20 per cent increase in referrals.

Ten-year-old Charlie De Jong says, “Thank you,” with the help of his parents for his wish during a Children’s Wish Foundation of Canada announcement expanding the foundation’s wish granting criteria to include children with serious neurological and genetic diagnoses. Charlie, who has cerebral palsy, was able to have his wish come true – getting a pool in his backyard – thanks to the change in policy. Previously, only children with ailments considered life-threatening were considered to have their wish granted.

Province to ban carding, create guidelines Controversial practice was focus of public consultations Steph Willems steph.willems@metroland.com
Draft legislation announced on Oct. 28 would stop random street checks – known as carding – and create new guidelines for police who interact with residents. The province is seeking action on the controversial practice after high-proďŹ le events in the recent past propelled the issue onto front pages, leading to acrimony between citizens, police chiefs and elected ofďŹ cials. Beginning in June, consultations with the public and community stakeholders, led by Community Safety Minister Yasir Naqvi, were held across the province, including in Ottawa.
The public will have 45 days, starting Oct. 28, to provide feedback on the draft legislation before the document is tabled at Queen’s Park. “We’ve been working on this since June, when I initially announced the province would look at carding and street checks,â€? said Naqvi. “Since then we’ve been working with our policing, human rights and civil liberty partners, young people, and really paying attention to stories from many people who feel they were inappropriately carded when there was no justiďŹ cation for that kind of stop. “We are expressively prohibiting carding or street checks – we’re putting an end to arbitrary actions
between police and public simply to collect information,â€? he said. “These types of actions will no longer be acceptable in our province. In essence, an ofďŹ cer cannot engage with an individual to collect their information just because of the colour of their skin, the neighbourhood they live in or because that individual decides not to speak to the police.â€? The draft legislation will also regulate voluntary interactions that happen for valid policing purposes. Not only will those interactions only be able to occur for articulable reasons, ofďŹ cers will also be required to inform the citizen that they have the right to walk away, while giving them information on the engagement – including the
ofďŹ cer’s name and complaint line number – should they decide to speak with the ofďŹ cer. “The reason for that voluntary interaction to take place is because the police are trying to prevent or detect illegal activities – there has to be grounds to articulate that,â€? said Naqvi. “If the ofďŹ cer is satisďŹ ed that these reasons are met, then there is a further obligation to inform the individual on their rights.â€? New training, reporting and data management would ensure that the new regulations are reected in practice. Public feedback and comments on the proposed legislation can be sent to the province via their website. FILE If passed, the contents of the leg- Community Safety Minister Yasir Naqislation will come into full effect by vi announced draft legislation to curb July 1, 2016. carding.

Day Hospice – A Safe and Caring Place
Steph Willems/Metroland
“There is a comfort when one is dealing with a life threatening illness, in sharing your fears and anxieties with others facing the same health issues as you. I find this on Tuesdays at the Ruddy-Shenkman Day Hospice in Kanata. I have lung cancer. Day Hospice is a place where I forget my illness, have a relaxed lunch shared in good company, and know I am in a safe and understanding environment. I have also discovered that it is never too late to learn new skills—no matter how ill or how old you are. At Day Hospice a wonderful volunteer named Kathy helped me to find my artistic side. I look forward to my time on Tuesdays. It’s a time to forget what I am living with each day and a respite for my spouse who knows I am in a safe and caring place for a few hours.”

Ottawa Tool Library co-founders Bettina Vollmerhausen, left, and Frederic Sune, wield a selection of implements from their Makerspace North facility during an Oct. 23 launch party.
Ottawa’s first tool library opens its doors Steph Willems steph.willems@metroland.com
Need a specific tool for an odd job but don’t want to shell out money for something you’ll only need once? Well, help has arrived. On the evening of Oct. 23, Ottawa’s first tool library opened its doors for a celebration of its new home at Makerspace North, located in the City Centre complex, just off Albert Street. The launch party followed months of advocacy, promotion, and – most of all – tool collecting, in order to stock the nonprofit enterprise with everything from rakes and shovels to table saws, lawnmowers and electric drills. Co-founders Bettina Vollmerhausen and Frederic Sune (a.k.a. Tool Goddess and Toll Master according to their business cards) marked the occasion by cutting into a celebratory cake with a pruning saw. The tool library, according to Vollmerhausen, represents the latest expansion of the sharing economy. “Sune and I had a conversation about how many people have tools in their basement
that got used for one project, and why isn’t there a central source where people can just share tools,” she said. “He really ignited it, and we got going on it.” A crowdfunding campaign got the operation off the ground and paid the initial rent, and Makerspace North was chosen not just for its available space, but also for its easily accessible and central location. Other occupants of Makerspace North include a welder, a woodworker and a laser cutter, making the tool library a good fit. Over the course of two months in late summer, an appeal went out to residents to donate their unwanted or unused tools, and Ottawa responded in a big way. “Look around – it’s amazing,” said Vollmerhausen. “Everything you see in our library is 100 per cent donations, and we have way more (in storage). It’s been amazing. Even the older generations, who are downsizing or moving into retirement homes, we’ve had people saying ‘My mother or father has passed away, and they had a workshop – do you want the tools? They’d have loved
that people will continue to use them.’” While the crowdfunding money got the operation off the ground, memberships will sustain the tool library. Fifty dollars a month gives a member unlimited access to the contents of the library. The next step for the library, according to Vollmerhausen, is to offer workshops for members. “Not only giving them access to resources, but also helping them learn new skills,” she said. “We’re open two days a week – Wednesdays and Saturdays – and we’re trying to always have a tool doctor on hand. We have tool doctors now that assess all of the donations, making sure they’re safe to use, and they’re also here as a tool ninja for people who don’t know what they need or how to operate the tool.” Makerspace North is located on the upper level of the City Centre complex, at 250 City Centre Ave., accessed via a ramp at the south side of the building. More information about the library and its contents can be found at ottawatoollibrary.com.

Lest We Forget
Lest we forget. A short biography of Dr. John McCrae In May 1915, one of Dr. John McCrae’s closest friends and comrades was killed in the trenches near Ypres, Belgium. He was buried in a humble grave with a simple wooden cross. Wild poppies bloomed between the crosses marking the many graves. The next day, unable to help his friend or any of the others who had died, Dr. McCrae gave them a voice through this poem. On January 28, 1918, John McCrae succumbed to pneumonia and meningitis. He died not knowing the outcome of the war, but with a full understanding of the cost of it. Before he died, Dr. McCrae had the satisfaction of knowing
that his poem had been a success. Soon after its publication, it became the most popular poem on the First World War. It was translated into many languages and used on billboards advertising the sale of first Victory Loan Bonds in Canada in 1917. In part because of the poem’s popularity, the poppy was adopted as the Flower of Remembrance. The symbolic poppy and John McCrae’s poems are still linked, and the voices of those who have died in war continue to be heard each Remembrance Day. -Veterans Affairs Canada

Lives lived focus of MacLean’s Hockey Towns book Brier Dodge
brier.dodge@metroland.com
Hockey players are more than just hockey players: they’re human beings. That’s the theme behind Ron MacLean’s new book, Hockey Towns, the second book for MacLean, who was host of Hockey Night in Canada for 28 years. “We’re all just trying to figure it out. That’s so universal,” said MacLean. “The only hook here is we all think we know the hockey players. So it makes it fun to pull back the curtains.” MacLean now travels across Canada for his Hometown Hockey series that is broadcast during NHL games on Sunday nights; he was also busy cowriting his second book alongside Kirstie McLellan Day, who also co-authored his first book. The book reveals the back stories - or concurrent side stories - of NHL players and coaches, stories MacLean has learned during his years of
broadcasting. “If there’s a central thread, it’s that there’s this quest for wisdom,” he said. “And hoping that in a conversation I had with Michel Goulet or Mike Babcock, their story might give you a sense of yourself.” The stories don’t skim over the tough stuff, domestic abuse and addictions issues. Some of the stories were tough to write, especially ones with children growing up in less-than-ideal circumstances, MacLean said. The stories don’t skim over the early lives of players and abruptly start at the beginning of their NHL careers, but start during their days in minor hockey, or even earlier, to paint a full picture of their lives. The stories in the book are filed under cities and towns, hence the title Hockey Towns, with chapters under Swift Current, Sask., and Moncton, N.B. While no chapters are filed directly under Ottawa or the Ot-
tawa Valley, MacLean said the strongest Ottawa connection is with the story “Little Zee” about Zenon Konopka, who spent time with the Ottawa 67s. The story both starts and ends in a small Polish town where “Big Zee”, his father, was born, but touches on the big opportunity Konopka got when a forward broke his hand and 67s coach Brian Kilrea took the teenager on. His first year with the Ottawa 67s, the team won the Memorial Cup. One of MacLean’s favourite stories is about Trent McCleary, who also played for a time in Ottawa in the NHL. The story details how he was struck in the throat by a puck, and was saved by a doctor who was urged by his wife to leave the stands and see if he could help. “That’s my favourite,” he said, of the story that came from co-author McLellan Day. It all circles back to MacLean’s original theme, that hockey players aren’t gods, but
people who grew up as hockey players, and found themselves living in the throes of fame. “The hockey player ends up on a pedestal,” he said. “They often win in a game, but that’s not power. The true power resides with the owners, the sponsors, the fans, to a lesser degree. The player innocently entered a game, a game they loved and a game of choice, but really didn’t understand the full scope of the game.” He reflects back to the struggles of various members of the Ottawa Senators, particularly the team that went to the Stanley Cup finals in 2007 and players such as Dany Heatley, who was in a fatal car crash that killed teammate Dan Snyder. “They’re interesting lives, they’re amazingly complicated lives,” MacLean said. Hockey Towns was released in October by HarperCollins Submitted and is currently available to Ron MacLean’s new book, Hockey Towns, is the secpurchase at major book retail- ond book by the broadcaster, who was host of Hockers. ey Night in Canada for 28 years.
PET OF THE WEEK Hi, my name is Holly (or Miss Holland when I’m in trouble) and I was adopted over 2 years ago (when I was almost a year old) from the Humane Society. I keep the house in order by supervising cooking and the squirrels as they eat the garden. Now that winter is getting colder I like to pile on top of my people in their bed.
K-9 and Feline Spa
Meet Buttercup (ID#A181319) and Marigold (ID#A181321), two sisters looking for their forever home together. These two are always found curled up together and enjoy grooming each other. Marigold is very outgoing and loves affection. She likes to follow her human friends around the house. Buttercup is a calm girl who can be a little shy at first, but Marigold helps brings out her social side. They both love to play and can’t wait to explore their new home together. Do you have room in your heart for these two bonded sisters? For more information on Buttercup, Marigold and all the adoptable animals, stop by the OHS at 245 West Hunt Club Rd Check out our website at www.ottawahumane.ca to see photos and descriptions of the animals available for adoption.
Their bags are packed and they’re ready to go… well, most of them You may have noticed that the birds are super busy at this time of the year. Either they’re building a flock to travel south or, they are busy growing an extra coat of down feathers and searching for high fat food sources for the cold months ahead. As our winters here in Ottawa are quite cold and sometimes downright unforgiving, the majority of our summer birds have the common sense to head south! For birds who brave the Ottawa winter, many depend on our feeders as a major food source. Here are some tips and facts to make the most of your feeders: • The best thing to offer the birds is high fat seeds, such as black oiled sunflower seeds and peanuts. • Did you know that the Black-capped Chickadee caches extra seeds in small crevices and can remember where they put ALL of them for over a month?! • Many small finches also stay throughout the winter and enjoy eating the very small nyjer seed. If you have trouble with unfavorable feeder guests, such as squirrels, consider putting up a nyjer feeder. The design of these feeders only allows a very small beak to grab the seeds and they are not very appealing to squirrels. • Once the weather drops below freezing, you can also put out suet feeders and you will likely be quickly rewarded by seeing several 1105.R0013524349

of our local woodpecker and nuthatch species. • Just as we suffer from more colds and flu in the winter time, so do the birds. It is important to occasionally wash those sick bird germs off your feeder with a10-parts water to one-part bleach solution. Many of the injured birds that come into the centre during the fall months have suffered injuries from hitting windows. Most small songbirds migrate at night to reduce their risk of predation and overheating. Large office buildings that keep their lights on during the night disorient the birds causing them to hit the windows. Window strikes during the day are usually due to the sun reflecting images, such as trees, on the outside of the window. There is now an organization in Ottawa patrolling some of the known problem buildings for window strikes. For more information about how to prevent birds from hitting your windows visit FLAP.org. If you have found a bird that has possibly hit a window or is otherwise injured, toss a small towel over the bird to pick it up and place the bird in a small dark box lined with an old rag or towel. Tossing a towel over the bird will often calm it down. Allow the bird to rest for an hour and then bring the box outside for a release attempt. If the release fails, please bring the bird to the Wild Bird Care Centre for further treatment. For more information about the centre please visit www.wildbirdcarecentre.org
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:

Soccer players home after strong Danone Nations Cup finish Megan DeLaire mdelaire@metroland.com
Ottawa U-12 and U-13 soccer players Luka Vujicic and Keera Melenhorst have returned to Canada after performing with the best team the country has sent to the Danone Nations Cup since 2011. While in Marrakech, Morocco for the 16th international final of the youth soccer tournament from Oct. 23 to 25, Team Canada faced Romania, Indonesia, China, Mexico, Spain, U.S.A. and Germany. After a victory against Team USA secured Team Canada at worst a sixth place position, the team lost their final game against Spain. The team’s sixth place finish in the final standings among 32 competing nations equals 2011’s previous best for Canada. “The calibre of soccer shown by Team Canada at this year’s
international final of the Danone Nations Cup in Marrakech was second to none,” said Dean Howie, head coach for Team Canada since 2001. “We are delighted with the players’ performances, and very proud of the progress they made at the tournament.” Each year, Canada’s is the only team to join the international tournament with a mix of male and female players. Melenhorst, 12, who lives in Kanata, was one of two girls on the team. Because of its combination of players, Howie said players on some teams tend to underestimate the abilities of Team Canada. “But I think some of the delegations from past years eventually assure them, ‘Don’t worry about Canada and the girls. They can play as well as anyone else,’” Howie said. “The girls did a great job.”
Howie said the team found itself in crucial must-win games against China and U.S.A. and channelled the pressure of those games to push for victory. “I think the highlight of the players having this objective and feeling the stress of it, but then having the character to reach for that objective, was a good, telling sign and took us over the hump a bit,” he said. Team Canada landed in Morocco on Oct. 20 after forming from some of the country’s most SUBMITTED talented young soccer players.

This week’s puzzle answers in next week’s issue
Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Creativity will help you achieve much this week, but it’s also important to maintain a practical outlook. These two factors combine for a greater measure of success. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Romance is on your mind this week and you have to find a way to fit it prominently in your agenda, Taurus. If you have been busy lately, slow down to spend time with a loved one. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Home may feel like a personal retreat after the last few weeks you have been experiencing, Gemini.

If you play your cards right, the weekend could be a blast. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, a financial boost may compel you to go on a spending spree. Just be sure you keep track of those purchases so you do not go overboard. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, your confidence peaks this week and you take a leap of faith in a new arena. It may be a new job or a thrilling hobby. Travel is another option that may require bravery.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, this may be the best your social life has been in a long time. If you have opportunities, try moving in different social circles by joining clubs or becoming part of a volunteer group. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, your desire for adventure could soon see you booking a cruise or taking a trip around the world. For now, there’s plenty to keep you occupied at home and work. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, explore new avenues in your life, even if it makes you feel a little nervous to branch out. You might be surprised with what you find if you give things a try. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, research all of your options before making a big decision. Figure out the details before you make any changes that could have long-term effects. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Try to exercise more vigorously and regularly this week, Pisces.
