The group of River Road residents, which launched a petition in early September to coincide with their ‘Take Back River Road’ campaign’, plan to meet local councillors on Nov. 12 to make their case.

The meeting with GloucesterSouthgate Coun. Diane Deans and Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Michael Qaqish on Nov. 12 will take place ahead of a community meeting that is in the works for Nov. 15. “We’re going to relay to the councillors the serious issues that the community has arising from the increased traffic speeds and the heavy vehicles now using River Road since (Vimy Memorial) bridge opened up,” said Robert Squires, a member of the campaign who lives in the Cedardale community at the north end of River Road. Their petition already has hundreds of signatures. They plan to submit it to the city at the end of November. “And the key point entirely revolves around safety,” he said. Road rage and aggressive and intimidating drivers have becoming the new norm for River Road residents following the opening of Vimy Bridge last year, Squires said, adding that locals are regularly tailgated if they drive at the speed limit or as they slow down to turn into driveways. They are also concerned by crashes on their stretch of road and motorists passing stopped school buses. More heavy vehicles using River Road has also raised several concerns related to safety, noise and damage to the road. Heavy vehicles are only permitted to carry half loads on River Road during the spring, summer and fall months. For that reason, Squires said it doesn’t make sense for those vehicles not to use Earl Armstrong and Limebank roads year-round where there are no restrictions. “Given that the road is not built to the highest possible standards, the heavy vehicles and the increased traffic is immediately showing the wear and tear on the road,” he said. Squires and his fellow campaign volunteers plan to ask councillors for “progressive steps” including restricting access to River Road from Limebank Road at the north end and at the south end where River and Earl Armstrong roads meet at the bridge. They are also calling for a shorter left-hand green light at the bridge, as well as reducing the left-hand turning lanes there from two to one and lowering speed limits on River to 50 and 60 km/hr from 60, 70 and 80 km/hr. “This raises an unforeseen issue, one being that drivers will gravitate

to that higher limit across that entire stretch of road,” said Squires. According to speed data released by the city at a public meeting in June, Squires said the numbers reveal motorists are travelling an average of 73 km/hr in a 60 zone between Earl Armstrong and Tewsley Drive, 79 km/hr in a 70 zone from Ryeburn Drive to Leitrim Road and 80 km/ hr in a 60 zone south of Balmoral Drive. There are also reports that motorists are successfully challenging speeding tickets in court, saying they were not aware of all the different speed zones on River Road, Squires

“We’re going to relay to the councillors the serious issues that the community has arising from the increased traffic speeds and the heavy vehicles now using River Road since (Vimy Memorial) bridge opened up.” Robert Squires,

said. Traffic data comparing rates before and after the bridge opened paints a very different before and after picture. According to stats at the same meeting, River Road saw 8,569 cars a day before Vimy Bridge opened. Not long after it became accessible to vehicles, daily averages climbed to 12,490 and then 13,200 this spring. “That means it increased 4,631 a day, which is the same as an increase of 54 per cent,” said Squires. Earl Armstrong has also seen a dramatic spike, and River Road – which is viewed as a short cut – is bearing the brunt, he said. “So basically three out of every 10 using the bridge are using River Road,” he added. “Safety has been seriously compromised.” The community meeting takes place on Nov. 15, from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m., in the gymnasium at BernardGrandmaître French Catholic school, located at 4170 Spratt Rd.

Teen charged with attempted murder erin.mccracken@metroland.com

A “confrontation” between two sets of teens in Alta Vista the day before Halloween nearly ended in a death. An 18-year-old Ottawa man is facing an attempted murder charge after another teen was nearly stabbed to death. Police were called to the 2000-block of Alta Vista Drive at 3:15 p.m. on Oct. 30 where east district investigators say “a very serious and violent assault took place involving two male suspects,” ages 18 and 19, police said in a statement the morning of Saturday, Nov. 7. Two male victims, ages 16 and 17, were taken to hospital, one of whom was suffering from life-threatening stab wounds. “He almost died,” said Const. Chuck Benoit, Ottawa police spokesman, adding he did not know whether he was the 16 or 17 year old. “He was fighting for his life for a period of time in hospital.” The teen remains in hospital in stable condition. The other victim, who

suffered minor injuries, was released from hospital the same day. Police said the suspects and victims did not know each other prior to the incident, which occurred on the street and not in a residence, said

“He was fighting for his life for a period of time in hospital.”

Residents put draft police biz plan under the microscope erin.mccracken@metroland.com

In its desire to ensure it is working with the right community-based partners, the Ottawa police have likely already found a good match. Police brass recently turned to the public for another round of input on potential gaps in its three-year business plan, which is now being developed to guide service delivery, provide for policing staffs and work with the right community partners. Following the first of two brainstorming sessions at the St. Elias Centre in the Riverview Park community on Nov. 5, residents made several suggestions, including rethinking the plan’s language to ensure inclusivity for high-needs communities, more proactively engaging with immigrants and newcomers, more prominently including youth and schools and having officers more positively interact with residents. “We felt that the police might be a little bit too much for negative actions in terms of ... drug checks,” said Sandy Hill resident Jan van Heuzen, one of 124 people at the meeting. “We’d like to see more positive actions where they use their community to engage in a positive way and sort of show police as a friend instead of police as a uniform.” The ‘Let’s Talk: Priorities’ meeting was one of the final opportunities for residents to have their say on the draft plan, which also includes feedback from more than 4,000 survey respondents, uniformed and civilian police department members, police board members, agencies, community groups

ERIN MCCRACKEN/METROLAND

Sandy Hill resident Jan van Heuzen offers some ideas about the Ottawa police business plan for 2016-18 during a ‘Let’s Chat: Priorities’ public consultation meeting on Nov. 5 at the St. Elias Centre in the Riverview Park community. Input received during the meeting will be used in the development of the Ottawa Police Service 2016-18 business plan. and city council. Surveys alone aren’t enough, which is the reason why the meeting was key, said Sandy Smallwood, a Sandy Hill resident and police board member. “I think the trouble with surveys is if you get answers to questions that were asked but they don’t always ask the right questions,” he said, adding in-person feedback forums add another layer of civilian oversight to the business plan’s development. “To me, the most important issue facing policing is trust,” Smallwood said, adding his three grown children, ages 18 to 25, don’t trust police. “They think that there’s a closed group of people who are a law unto themselves and they don’t respect the rights of citizens, that they are bullies,” he said.

The perceptions among youth are that they are prejudged by police and that officers, in general, are abusing their authority by making unnecessary arrests, using excessive force and profiling people, Smallwood said. For Const. Doug Belanger, a central neighbourhood officer, the meeting was a chance for him to share his front-line experiences with residents and also hear their concerns. “It’s nice to hear some feedback coming from the other

side of the table,” he said. “Most of what I do in my travels I don’t get to talk to people that are encouraged to see police or (who are) having their best days.” Police personnel are among the three focus areas of the business plan. When it comes to members, the goal is to invest in the service’s “biggest asset” by fostering their personal and professional development through training and career-progression opportunities and developing a

wellness strategy, said Ottawa police Insp. Steve Bell. “So we want to look at our members in a holistic manner and help support them in all areas of their life,” he said, adding that the service wants to better support their spiritual, mental, physical, social and familial well-being. Improving member engagement and communication is also key. “What we’re going to do in this area is make sure that we have an organization that listens to our employees, that hears the issues that are raised at different levels and fosters two-way communication between senior leaders and leaders within the organization and the members throughout it,” Bell said. When it comes to planning out how the police will best serve and protect in the coming years, one of the challenges the department must be ready for is the city’s 2017 celebrations, marking Canada’s 150th birthday. “That’s going to be a signiﬁcant event in our community ... and we have to make sure we have plans, resources in place,” acting Supt. Mark Ford told attendees. Important themes that have emerged from among the crime trends, data and community concerns that police ofﬁcials have compiled in pre-

paring their draft plan include the shooting at the National War Memorial on Oct. 22, 2014, the record 49 shootings last year and mental-health issues in the community, which are an “ongoing concern” that impact the community and police response, said Randy Mar, director of planning, performance and analytics for the Ottawa police. Outlaw motorcycle gangs pose another problem. “They’re still a presence in our community and they actually impact the community well-being,” he said. Cybercrime, though borderless, is impacting individuals and businesses here, and human trafﬁcking in Canada is an emerging problem that police Chief Charles Bordeleau has adopted as a strategic priority. At the top of the chief’s priorities for the next three years will be addressing violence against women, trafﬁc concerns and guns and gangs – the same themes as the past three years. A look at the stats also reveal that while crime is going down, calls for service are taking much longer due to the complexity of the legal requirements in investigations, Mar said. “It’s a bit of a balancing act.” For more details on the plan, visit ottawapolice.ca/businessplan.

Front-line policing pressures spur six-month staffing review Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

The pressures faced by Ottawa’s front-line patrol officers will go under the microscope over the next six months. Patrol staffing shortages this summer due to vacations were not unexpected and the higher ups at the Ottawa Police Service moved members among various units to shore up emergency response. “We watched the numbers very carefully and what we noticed this September was that when we were getting ready to move people back or when people moved back to their substantive positions that the pressure was still on,” said Insp. Scott Brown, who works in resourcing and development at the department. “Patrol was still short.” Over the course of the next six months, during the study period, more officers will be reassigned to patrol. “And while they are there, we’re going to make (ourselves) busy and try to understand what’s going on with our staffing,” said Brown, who is responsible for sworn staffing, talent management, executive and professional development, recruitment and promotions. The last time a patrol workload and staffing review was conducted in 2008-09, the department had seen a net increase of new officers and new deployments to the road. Another increase is coming next year with the creation of 25 new sworn member positions – over and beyond those who will be hired to replace retiring officers. Given the staffing shortages, now is the time to examine the pressures faced by patrol officers and figure out how many more front-line members are needed to make sure the department is keeping pace with demand, as well as ensure good response times and be ready for the city’s 2017 celebrations, Brown said. The review will also examine any potential service redundancies, pressures caused by calls for service and the increasing complexity of cases, which is soaking up officer time. “Back in 08-09, what took an hour, an hour and 15 minutes, to clean up is now taking an hour and a half, an hour and 45 (minutes),” Brown said. “We want to understand those kinds of changes to the nature of calls, when the calls are occurring and where they’re occurring.” Legal requirements, additional documentation, forms and standards mean more hoops to jump through, but are necessary for due diligence, he said. “I understand from hearing from others that back in the ‘80s, you could go to a homicide trial and the file would be under your arm,” Brown said. “And if you went to a homicide trial now you’ve got about six banker boxes worth of stuff. “So there’s been a huge uptick there for sure in the amount of work that’s required.” The review team will also study the temporary transfers of officers, the roles of ‘acting’

Patrol staffing shortages have led to the imminent launch of a six-month patrol workload and staffing review at the Ottawa Police Service that police officials hope will counteract the strain, ensure response times are adequate and officers are not facing burnout due to overtime requests. staff positions, maternity and parental leave, leaves of absence, secondments, the use of sick leave and the amount of time an officer spends in court. When it comes to transfers, Brown cited the example the reassignment of officers to the guns and gangs unit at the beginning of this year in response to the record high number of shootings in 2014. Those same officers were transferred out of the unit just before the onslaught of summer vacations, Brown confirmed. He said the team will also look at the implications of an aging workforce, which means more officers are eligible for more vacation days. There’s also overtime to consider. This year alone, the department was projecting a $700,000 deficit in overtime costs, according to media reports. The study team also wants to know when and why overtime is needed, such as at the end of a shift, whether officers were called in from home or if the overtime request was for emergency services officers, many of whom do double duty in patrol and provide additional support in other cases, such as searches for evidence and missing persons. In addition to the financial toll, asking officers to work longer than their usual shifts can have other repercussions. “You can only do that so many times and you start to burn people out,” Brown said. The department is also trying to prepare for the city’s 2017 celebrations to mark Canada’s 150th birthday. While the new hires will help, it takes each new recruit about nine months before they are ready for independent patrols. “So we want to be mindful as the growth starts to happen next year where these people are going to be and how that’s going to factor into our staffing for 2016-2017,” Brown said.

Arctic trip gives student window on inaugural research Perkins shares details of northern trip in blog Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Zoë Perkins is back from an epic Arctic adventure with a bounty of stories, hundreds of photos and answers to never-before-answered questions. The Grade 12 Canterbury High School literary arts student is still processing her unique 12-day experience in Canada’s north – much of it spent living aboard a Canadian Coast Guard icebreaker with Canadian and international scientists and researchers, who are studying the effects of climate change on the Arctic. “It felt like a dream,” said the Rockcliffe Mews resident, who left from Quebec City on Oct. 1 and returned Oct. 13. “We touched back down in Ottawa and I was like, ‘Did that really happen?’” Though difficult to choose her favourite part of the trip, made possible through Schools on Board, an ArcticNet outreach program run out of the University of Manitoba, Perkins said she will never forget taking a helicopter ride from the Amundsen to Pond Inlet, Nunavut on the northern tip of Baffin Island. That’s where she and two teachers and eight other students from across the country learned first-hand about the experiences of those living in the Inuit community. One of the students in the group, who was from Pond Inlet, was excited to share with the group how rising temperatures and a boost in shipping through the nearby Northwest Passage are affecting daily life there. “She spoke on how there was an ice flow that her dad used to explore when he was a child and now they can hardly see it from their town now that its receded,” Perkins said. The teen also learned what the seal means to the locals. “We think about it as a food source but to them it really is life itself,’ she said, but added that is now at risk since melting ice and an increase in icebreaker ship traffic are changing animal migration. “That’s two hours (or more) out of the hunters’ way to go and get these seals,” Perkins said. “We learned a lot on the boat about the kind of politics behind the Northwest Passage opening up.” The scientists on board the vessel, a floating laboratory that travelled from Resolute, Nunavut, east to Lancaster Sound in the Northwest Passage and then north to a spot between Ellesmere Island and Greenland, shared their research with the student group, and allowed them to help with their samples and watch them work in the lab. “It’s like a little city in the middle of absolutely nowhere,” said Perkins. Samples taken from the ocean floor are revealing changes that have never before been known. “It was really cool to see just how quickly things are changing. We have this earth that’s 10,000 years old and (in) the past 100 years (we can see) how much has changed,” she said.

ZOË PERKINS/SUBMITTED

Zoë Perkins, a Canterbury High School student, is back from her trip to the Arctic – an experience she said taught her about the impact of climate change and an increase in shipping in the area is having on Inuit communities. In order to get to the Canadian Coast Guard vessel to learn from scientists on board, Perkins had to travel by helicopter. and soil, researchers can compare the findings in the event oil drilling is done there. Samples of ocean water were also taken to learn more about the organisms and their environment. Researchers are worried about the impact climate change is having on these tiny critters, which can cause problems for creatures higher up the food chain, Perkins explained.

“We learned a lot on the boat about the kind of politics behind the Northwest Passage opening up.” ZOË PERKINS

“What was really interesting about the trip was how new Arctic research is and how little we do know,” she said. They also learned that polar bear populations are expected to decrease given the melting and breaking up of first-year ice, which the bears need to hunt. The ice is thin enough that they can punch through them to hunt for their food. Now that she’s back home, Perkins is catching up on her homework. But she’s planning to share more of her experiences with her peers at Canterbury. The challenge will be in deciding which of the many stories she will impart. “The whole thing was a highlight,” Perkins said with a laugh. “It was so mind-blowing.” To access Perkins’ blog from her northern adventure, visit thewallflower.ca/arctic-zoe.

to kids. Last week saw the 67â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s host their seventh annual School Day game; a morning match at the Canadian Tire Centre that draws elementary school students from across the region. It looked like every school bus in the city had arrived in the parking lots outside the Senators home arena. For any visitor to the rink that day, it seemed like chaos, and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no doubt it was a chaotic scene. It was kids being kids, time well spent with friends new and old, letting off steam that could be measured in metric tons. The game came complete with thousands of servings of junk food and ear-splitting screams for each goal scored by the hometown 67â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. The only ones not having a blast were the poor folks trying to keep up with all the spilled popcorn. Some might question the value of a field trip to watch a hockey game. After all, hockey is everywhere around us at this time of year, from TV screens to all

the rinks dotted across the city. But our national winter sport is not standard fare in every home. We have welcomed many new Canadians who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t arrive with a tradition of heading to the rink each weekend with a blanket and a cup of coffee. Making more than 8,000 school kids part of that communal experience is exactly what makes a field trip special. Every one of them became part of something bigger â&#x20AC;&#x201C; something truly Canadian â&#x20AC;&#x201C; for a few hours. For some, it will remain a once a year event. Others will be captivated by the game. Some will ask to play hockey and others will become lifelong fans. Education is more than cramming information into young noggins. Real life experiences â&#x20AC;&#x201C; best of all new experiences â&#x20AC;&#x201C; teach valuable lessons. Hockey is a passion for the players and for the fans. It brings people together for a common goal and gives them a feeling of belonging. Even in the stands, your claps and screams can drive people to work harder. Work harder and you might just go further. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good lesson for any kid to learn.

Three cheers for being cheerful

ou know Ottawa is a different kind of place when you see hundreds of people turn out for the swearing in of the cabinet â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not only turn out but stand outside while the actual swearing-in is going on inside. As has so often been demonstrated, politics is spectator sport in this city. Cabinet ministers are, at least in Ottawa, rock stars. So it is not unnatural that when the rock stars arrive, there are spectators gathered to watch. You could see them on that day last week cheering some of the arrivals. You could see them saying â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that?â&#x20AC;? for others. Sure, it helped that it was gorgeous, warm fall day. If you lived in the neighbourhood of the GG, you might have been going out for a walk anyway, so why not wander

And while the crowd probably had a disproportionate number of Liberals in it, there were lots of people in the crowd who werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. So not all the applause, as the new prime minister and his cabinet walked to Rideau Hall, was partisan. This being Canada, there were resemblances to other countries with which we are close.

breathless TV journalists interviewing breathless spectators about how excited they were to be here today. And, of course, there were the obligatory references to the Queen in the oaths of office. The day also had an American feeling to it, reminiscent of inauguration day parades in the United States â&#x20AC;&#x201C; although on a far smaller scale and with considerably less visible security and no fighter jets flying overheard. The crowd outside, watching the proceedings on big television screens, was reminiscent of American sports crowds outside the sold-out stadium. But the day was mainly about symbolism, Canadian symbolism, exemplified by the proliferation of poppies among important and ordinary people alike. In the political sense, the invitation of the public to the Rideau Hall

grounds, the procession of the new cabinet through the throngs was meant to symbolize openness, a contrast to attitude of the outgoing government. Even more striking was the new prime ministerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to wade into the crowd after the ceremony. Overall there was a cheerfulness to the entire day, an optimism that was also in contrast to the dourness of recent years. And there were small touches too â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the bilingualism, it goes without saying, also the Inuit throat singing at the ceremony, the piper for the Scots among us, the spoken reference to the ceremony taking place on traditional land of the Algonquin peoples.

Cabinet gender parity does indeed matter in the year 2015

That we need to have this discussion in 2015 is ridiculous. One look at the solid roster of cabinet picks – men and women – and there’s little need to question Trudeau’s decisions.

One National Post columnist decried the hoopla over gender parity, arguing that Trudeau, in fact, appointed just three more women to his cabinet than did Harper in his last round. It was a trite little detail that Conservative hardliners latched onto, but in fact, it’s also a useless one. Percentages matter here more than do whole numbers. Trudeau appointed 30 people to his cabinet; half of them are women. At dissolution, Harper’s cabinet had bloated to 39 members; 12 of those ministers were women. That’s less than one-third of the powerhouse. One-third is a number we may have strived for two decades ago, but as Trudeau argued, it’s not good enough for 2015. Conservatives like to point out that their party, historically, was the first to appoint a woman to cabinet (in 1957) and the first to appoint a woman justice minister, Kim Campbell, who also went onto become the first and only prime minister of Canada. Those are great historical notes, but just as

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse less than a third women cabinet is meaningless when talking about equality in 2015, so is historical tokenism. The women in Trudeau’s cabinet are not tokens of feminism. They represent a diverse set of skills, cultural backgrounds, professional experiences and regions. Although they have yet to prove themselves, as do all ministers, in their new portfolios, there is no doubt these women were chosen for their incredible talent and potential to be great leaders and advisers to the new prime minister. Some will argue that we don’t need 50 per cent representation for equality. Trudeau’s essential, feminist argument has been, but if it’s possible, then why not? And I agree. Trudeau had the means and the will and the talent pool to have an equal number of women and men in his cabinet and he made it happen. According to a report published by Status of Women Canada in June 2014, women earn more than half of all Canadian university degrees. In 2011, women represented more than a third of MBA graduates. In 2010, women made up nearly half of all students enrolled in business and management programs at the master’s level. Despite this, the report goes onto show that in 2012, women held just 10.3 per cent of seats on Canadian boards, 15.9 per cent of seats on Financial Post 500 companies and 31 per cent of federal governor in council appointments, which includes those to Crown corporations and government agencies. The recommendation from that report was that 30 per cent women on corporate boards was not an unrealistic target to achieve by 2019. But Trudeau has gone further than one-third. It’s not typical for governments – often hindered by red tape and nepotism—to be trailblazers. But trailblaze Trudeau has. Only time will tell, but there’s a plethora of research to suggest that diversity of opinions leads to better decision-making. If the cabinet does well, it may just send a signal to corporate Canada that, in 2015, 10 per cent to one-third simply isn’t good enough when 50 per cent is so obviously possible.

rime Minister Justin Trudeau followed through on one of his election campaign promises – to create a cabinet that is 50 per cent women. When asked at Rideau Hall on Nov. 4 why gender parity in cabinet was important, Trudeau answered, “Because it’s 2015.” In fact, the argument should have ended there. But of course, there are always those who will come out of the woodwork to suggest Trudeau may have gone for gender over merit when making his cabinet selection; that by working to create a gender diverse – and culturally diverse – cabinet, he may have sacrificed on talent. I say hogwash. That we need to have this discussion in 2015 is ridiculous. One look at the solid roster of cabinet picks – men and women – and there’s little need to question Trudeau’s decisions.

A luggage trolley, front centre, navigates through heavy fog on the runway apron at the Ottawa International Airport on Nov. 10. The airport experienced two cancelled departing flights that morning as well as one delayed departure, though it was not immediately known if the weather was to blame. Ottawa police were also kept busy with 19 collisions between 5 and 11 a.m. The soupy conditions prompted Environment Canada to issue a fog advisory.

Near-miss with moose rattles Riverside South commuter 11-month-old son. “But I’ve never seen a moose.” Levitski started taking that route home from work about a year ago in order to avoid travelling the more congested urban routes. Moose have been spotted in that area before. “It is not wholly unusual to see moose in the Leitrim/Hawthorne area, as it is surrounded by a significant tract of greenbelt land and connects to habitat frequented by moose,” Roger Chapman, chief of the city’s bylaw and regulatory services, said in an email. While the city hasn’t received any reports of moose sightings in recent weeks, Chapman said “moose sightings are most common during the spring and late autumn/early winter when they are migrating.” When Levitski posted her experience to a Riverside South Facebook group the same day, some people thanked her for the warning, while others said they were aware a moose was in that area. One woman said she saw a moose near Leitrim Road and

A near-miss with a moose has Allesandra Levitski reaching out to her fellow Riverside South residents to alert them about driving east of the Leitrim area. The Riverside South resident was driving home from the Ottawa Train Yards around 4 p.m. on Nov. 2. She was heading south on Hawthorne Road and hadn’t crossed Davidson Road yet when an antler-less moose emerged from the bush on her left and lumbered onto the road right in front of her Hyundai. Levitski slammed on her brakes and the moose ambled west for the trees on the other side of the road. “I’m like, ‘What the …?’” she recalled. “There was a big truck behind me and thankfully saw me brake and didn’t rearend me.” Still shaken from the encounter, she stopped at a traffic light at Leitrim and Albion roads. “And the truck pulled up beside me and (the driver) was like, ‘Have you ever seen a

She’s urging other motorists to be on the alert when driving in the area. moose that close before?’ Because we were both shocked,” Levitski said. “It was crazy.” She feels fortunate she didn’t hit the large animal, especially since she happened to be driving a small two-door Hyundai

rather than her larger SUV. Though relieved she wasn’t harmed, Levitski said she was equally glad the animal made it safely across the road. “It’s sad. I don’t want to kill a moose.”

The shock of the near-miss rivalled that of actually seeing a moose in the area. “I’ve seen deer many times, cats, squirrels, because I live in the south part,” said the civil servant and mother of an

Bank Street last year, while another said she almost hit a moose on Albion Road between Lester and Leitrim roads, but didn’t say when the incident took place. For this reason, Levitski said moose-crossing signage should be placed in the area to remind motorists to be on the lookout. “If I wasn’t looking, I probably would have hit it,” she said. “It’s really busy on that road. It’s going to get hit one day.” A search on Google maps reveals there is a yellow deercrossing caution sign, facing south, on Hawthorne, south of Davidson. There is another on that same stretch facing north, just south of Leitrim Road. When asked if the city plans to install moose-warning signs, Chris Brinkman, the city’s manager of traffic operations, said in an email that the city uses the Ontario traffic manual to determine the appropriate locations for deer- and moose-warning signs. “The criteria used to determine location for these signs is based on wildlife collisions experienced at that location,” he said.

Parade added to Riverside South Christmas bash Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Lesia Gilbert can practically hear the sleigh bells ringing. Her community of Riverside South is preparing to ring in the Christmas season with its annual Breakfast with Santa event, featuring crafts, family photos with the jolly old fella himself, free sleigh rides and – new this year – a community parade, as well as a toy drive in support of Toy Mountain. “The idea (of the charity toy drive) has become a real family event,” said Gilbert, events co-ordinator for the Riverside South Community Association, which is organizing the Christmas event at the Rideauview Community Centre, at 4310 Shoreline Dr. The day-long celebration on Dec. 5 has traditionally been a popular draw, and the breakfast always sells out quickly. This year, the morning meal will be served at two sittings at 9 a.m. and 10:35 a.m., featuring sausages and pancakes, hot and cold beverages, clementines and mini-donuts, as well as glu-

Lesia Gilbert/Submitted

Riverside South residents and businesses donated about $10,000 in cash and toys in support of Toy Mountain during the Riverside South Community Association’s 2014 Breakfast with Santa event. This year, the Dec. 5 event will feature a new community parade. ten- and lactose-free pancakes. “I had 100 people say they were coming within a couple hours of me posting that (event announcement on Facebook),” said Gilbert.

Included in the cost, which is $20 per family or $10 per person, are crafts for the kids. And for a nominal fee, attendees can get their photo taken with Santa, from 9 a.m.

to 12 p.m. Sleigh rides will begin at the centre at 5:30 p.m. and wrap up with a final ride at 8:30 p.m. Children with special needs and their families are invited to register for the 5:50 p.m. time slot. The breakfast will once again coincide with a toy drive for Toy Mountain. Last year, the community generated about $10,000 in cash and toy donations. “Just with the businesses it was over $5,000 worth of toys,” said Gilbert, plus that much in donations from local residents. There were so many items, volunteers borrowed a cube truck to haul them all downtown. In anticipation of what they’re hoping will be an even bigger haul this year, the team will be borrowing a trailer for the big drop-off. To give more people an opportunity to add to the mountain of toys in Riverside South, the association is adding a parade to the roster of the Christmasthemed events that day. “Pretty much everyone who attends the Christmas event brings a toy for Toy Mountain,”

said Gilbert. “But there’s obviously a lot of people in the neigbourhood who don’t attend, so we wanted to find a way for them to easily be able to contribute as well. And we thought ‘What better way than to have some fun and add a little mini parade?’ ” From 12 to 2 p.m., the parade will be led by a festively decorated truck. The community police officer for the area will also be taking part. Entrants are invited to decorate their vehicles and hand out candy canes, while community association volunteers plan to play Christmas music to add to the holiday spirit. Organizers are still finalizing the parade route, but Gilbert said it will begin from the community centre and likely head down Shoreline Drive, up to Goldeneye Way and then around North Bluff Drive and on to Canyon Walk Drive. Residents are invited to line the streets to watch the participants and donate toys. “I love Christmas,” said Gilbert, a mother of three. “And the thought of any child not

getting a Christmas because of their family situation is just a horrific thought to me. “So I love the idea that we have the Toy Mountain and I’ve just been trying to make it bigger.” Residents can also drop off toys at My Toy Shop at 1136 Tighe St. in Manotick, which is also offering a 10-per-cent discount for toys purchased there for the charity. Walkley Bowling Centre, at 2092 Walkley Rd., will also serve as a dropoff site. Early registration for breakfast tickets and the free sleigh rides can be done at the Riverside South Community Association’s annual general meeting on Nov. 19 at the community centre, starting at 7:15 p.m. Online registration will be available on Nov. 20 at riversidesouth.org. Volunteers are still needed Dec. 4 and Dec. 5, and can email the association’s volunteer co-ordinator at volunteers@riversidesouth.org or connect with the association at facebook.com/RSCommunityAssociation.

The 2014 Alta Vista Christmas concert proved so popular, the 550-seat church was at capacity. The event at the Immaculate Heart of Mary Church in Alta Vista will be held this year on Dec. 6. Proceeds generated through the 24th annual concert will once again support the local Heron Emergency Food Centre.

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

The sounds of Christmas music will soon fill the Immaculate Heart of Mary Church in Alta Vista so that hungry stomachs can also be filled. The church is counting down to its 24th annual Alta Vista Christmas Concert on Dec. 6 at 3 p.m. The hour-and-a-half-long event serves as a fundraiser for the Heron Emergency Food Centre, raising almost $100,000 over the past 24 years. “And that’s no small feat for amateurs,” said Helen McGurrin, who has been a member of the Immaculate Heart of Mary Choir for about two decades. Last year, the event generated $10,000 – the most ever – for the local food centre, both through sponsorships and donations at the door. “It just blew our minds away,” said McGurrin said, adding the need is great. “It’s frightening.” The goal of the concert organizing committee and those spearheading the fundraising efforts is to raise enough money to allow the neighbourhood food centre to purchase fresh food for those it helps. Efforts to generate sponsor-

ship support and donations for the food centre in advance of the concert began in October. The musical lineup for the late-afternoon concert will feature the same three choirs, including the Immaculate Heart of Mary Church Choir, the Kanata Choral Society and the Ottawa Wind Ensemble, a 35-member orchestral group. Tenor soloists Dr. Fraser Rubens and his son Zachary

“The more the voices, the more the spirit.” Helen McGurrin

Rubens will also be a highlight in the program. Last year, Zachary sang in place of his father, Fraser. This will be the first time the tenor soloists sing together at the church. New this year, the Ottawa Catholic School Board Chamber Choir will take the stage. The group features 40 students in grades eight to 12. “Apparently, they are fantastic,” McGurrin said. Each of the groups will perform two or three pieces, accompanied by the Ottawa Wind

Ensemble and a violinist or pianist. The main highlight of the upcoming concert, which filled the church with 550 people last year, will again be the grand finale when all of the performers will sing together to mark the close of the celebration. The blending of the voices is always an emotional experience for McGurrin. “The more the voices, the more the spirit,” she said. “I still get a little choked up when we’re singing the mass choir pieces. I have to concentrate on the singing techniques so that the tears don’t start.”

Ottawa’s royal swans to spend winters at zoo due to rotting Leitrim Swan House Erin McCracken

Councillor/Conseillère Quartier Gloucester-Southgate Ward

lion dollars or more,” Gibbons said, adding the swan structure is more complex than a typical animal enclosure. The Leitrim site has 20 pens, each measuring three by four metres, and other enclosed shelters as well as a gradual-entry floor. “The base of the site is basically concrete tubs that are built right into ground, kind of like a wave pool,” Gibbons said. The city tried unsuccessfully to find a corporate sponsor to cover the cost of a new structure. Over the past five months, staff also explored housing the swans, which range in age from five to 23, in local farmers’ barns. “But there’s a considerable amount of capital costs that are involved in setting it up properly for the swans, and obviously the training needed for these farmers. They’re not used to swans,” said Gibbons. Staff also considered leasing another property and converting an onsite building, which would have resulted in “a significant capital cost,” she said. The city then turned to zoos, an attractive option given their experience in animal care, 24/7 staffing and proper onsite facilities. “That’s how we came up with Parc Safari after a number of calls,” Gibbons said, adding the

Quebec zoo is accredited with Canada’s Accredited Zoos and Aquariums, a non-profit organization dedicated to wildlife conservation, education, science and animal welfare. The $22,000 tab to shelter the swans at Parc Safari for each of the next two winters is on par with what it costs the city to care for the birds in the same timeframe. Year-round care of the birds, whose wings have been clipped to prevent them from flying away, costs the city about $50,000 – an expense that has been covered through $300,000 in sponsorship funding provided by IBM in a lump-sum payment

in 2009, Gibbons said. While the city has swan handlers within her department, they do double duty and are not solely dedicated to the swan program. There is about $100,000 left in that pot to cover the program’s operational costs for another two years, she added. The partnership with Parc Safari will be reviewed by the city, Gibbons said, adding that the city is planning to again seek a partner to keep the program going, before having to request funds from the city’s coffers. During their stay at the zoo, the birds won’t be available for public viewing.

Ottawa’s royal swans will spend their first winter outside the city limits at Parc Safari after a staff report this summer found the current swan facility at Leitrim Road and Bank Street is rotting and in a weakened state.

Carbon Monoxide Alarms In October 2014, the Province of Ontario enacted a law with a one-year grace period for homeowners to install carbon monoxide alarms. To help residents ensure that their homes meet this safety standard, the City has partnered up with the Ottawa Community Support Coalition (OCSC) to distribute and install carbon monoxide alarms to up to 1,400 vulnerable older adults. Residents who qualify for these alarms will be identified through the OCSC. Often called the silent killer, carbon monoxide is an invisible, odourless, colorless gas that results when fuels such as natural gas, propane, gasoline, wood, coal and methane are used. Some potential sources of dangerous levels of carbon monoxide in your home include heating and cooking equipment which burn fuel, or vehicles that idle in an attached garage. Please be aware that the grace period included in this provincial law has now passed and that the law now applies to all property owners, including owners of properties with six or more residential units. Like smoke alarms, carbon monoxide alarms should also be tested at least once a month and replaced according to the manufacturer’s instructions. A good reminder to change the batteries in carbon monoxide alarms and smoke detectors is when you change your clocks in the spring and fall. For more information on carbon monoxide safety please visit www.ottawa.ca. Ottawa Food Bank Holiday Food Drive The Ottawa Food Bank is once again encouraging workplaces to collect non-perishable food and funds as part of their Holiday Food Drive throughout November and December. With the help of volunteers, the Ottawa Food Bank will distribute boxes and posters to support your workplace food drive, and also arrange to pick up your donations. These proceeds help stock the shelves at the Ottawa Food Bank and provide emergency food service to its Member Agencies well into the cold winter months. In 2014, over 400 businesses and organizations came together for the Holiday Food Drive in astounding numbers. Approximately 135,000 pounds of food were raised, along with $113,700 during the holiday season. If you are interested in taking part, please register online at www.ottawafoodbank.ca.

Ottawa’s swans are on the move. Eleven swans, including nine white mute or royal swans and two Australian black swans, were taken out of their summer habitat sites on the Rideau River in Ottawa on Nov. 5, as scheduled, before winter sets in. But given the weakened and rotting state of their usual winter facility at a leased NCC property on Leitrim Road at Bank Street, city staff are now preparing to relocate the swans for the winter months to Parc Safari in Hemmingford, Que., east of Cornwall. Beginning Nov. 12, the zoo will be their home for at least the next two winters at a cost of $22,000 per winter, plus the costs of veterinarian care, bedding, feed and utilities. It typically costs the city about $50,000 to care for the birds year-round. Staff have known since about 2007 that the Leitrim structure, built in the 1960s, was coming to the end of its lifespan. In that time, city staff have worked to keep it going. “We’re at the point where we’re not comfortable continuing the use of it,” said Laila Gibbons, the city’s manager of parks, buildings and grounds services, which oversees the city’s royal swan program. The program dates back to 1967 when Queen Elizabeth II presented Ottawa with six pairs of white mute swans to celebrate Canada’s centennial. In addition to the white swans, the city also owns Australian black swans. Black swans were first acquired through a trade with the Montreal Zoo in 1974. A structural review this summer revealed the Swan House, where the birds have been housed each winter for more than a decade, had several problems that would have needed fixing before this winter. “It’s a wooden structure so there is some rotting around the walls and the biggest concern is the roof and the snow load,” said Gibbons. Different options were floated, including rebuilding the current structure and constructing a new one at other municipallyowned properties. “The cost is about half-a-mil-

Committee eyes six-month limit for memorials Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

The city’s transportation committee passed a motion on Nov. 4 that would require roadside memorials and ghost bikes, which are white painted bikes in memory of cyclists who have been killed, to stay in place for only six months. Staff’s original recommendation was three months, but councillors amended the proposal to double the amount of time to six months. Currently, there is no allowance for any roadside memorials, but that hasn’t been enforced. “It’s something that, unfortunately, became very obvious as a result of hearing my community from all sides over a number of years,” said Coun. David Chernushenko, specifically referring to ghost bikes. “There’s a lack of process in terms of members of the public using public space for what was initially a spontaneous memorial, going over many months, and then over several years.” Two delegations attended the transportation committee to present the “yin and yang” of the issue, Coun. Keith Egli said. For Old Ottawa South resident Tim Farr, the memorials are both an unregulated use of public space and a safety hazard. He said it’s been hard for people who support the city’s proposal to speak up in his neighbourhood because it’s such a sensitive issue. There is a ghost bike located at Bank Street and Riverside Drive as a memorial to Meg Dussault, who was killed on July 30, 2013, after a cement truck struck her as she rode her bike. “It’s perceived as being disrespectful and minimizing the tragedy that took place,” Farr said. “It’s sort of ironic that a memorial that is intended to focus attention on the legacy of the victim becomes a source of controversy in the neighbourhood.” But the area is congested

and he said the ghost bike can be distracting, especially this year when it was decorated for St. Patrick’s Day. He said a better idea would be to erect a smaller plaque. Another delegation also talked about the bike at Bank and Riverside, but Tina Belanger, who was a close friend of Dussault, looked at the issue in a different light. She said the city lacked sensitivity in dealing with families who are grieving, and didn’t do enough consultation regarding the time limit. Staff were directed to shape the policy based on best practices from other Canadian cities, not through public consultations. “These people are sensible and intelligent and deserve a broader discussion,” Belanger said. “This will surely bring sadness to many family and friends ... it’s provided a place to find peace.” Belanger said she doesn’t view the ghost bikes as hazards, and sid they serve a wider purpose by making people stop and think about safety. Coun. Scott Moffatt, in response to Belanger, said that allowing any type of memorial on public allowances could mean some people are faced with memorials they don’t want. He gave the example of if a drunk driver ran a stop sign and crashed into someone else’s laneway, and the homeowner had a memorial placed just outside their property line on the city allowance. “If someone dies in their front yard, that person has to relive that moment every time they leave their home,” he said. Coun. Catherine McKenney objected to the motion, and said she thought a period of a year would be a more suitable allowance as six months is too short a time frame. “These memorials are powerful symbols and they have become part of the grieving process,” she said. Coun. Bob Monette also raised concerns, specifically to do with some memorials where there will be annual flower memorials on a site. Under the new bylaw, memorials could not be reinstalled after Public Works removes them. Memorials would be re-

This ghost bike at Bank Street and Riverside Drive is a memorial to Meg Dussault, who was killed on July 30, 2013, after a cement truck hit her as she rode her bike. The city wants to govern how long ghost bikes such and other roadside memorials can remain on public property. ported through bylaw, and the city would remove them six months after they first become aware. Staff said the process was designed to be lenient rather than having staff monitor and create a database of all memorials. It would only affect city streets, and not any memorials on NCC property. Chernushenko said he has also been working with the brother of cyclist Danielle Naçu’s who was killed in an accident to try and find a spot

for a permanent memorial to cyclists killed in traffic in Ottawa. The committee passed the motion, but it still must go to city council as a whole before it takes effect. “I’m very unhappy we need this policy, I’m unhappy people are dying on our roads,” said Egli. “But I’m pleased our staff, my colleagues and the public on the whole are coming to a consensus on how we might do this in a fair and compassionate way.”

Alexis Helmer, a past member of the Dominion-Chalmers United Church in Centretown, served as the inspiration for Lieut.-Col. John McCrae’s First World War poem. The church honoured Helmer at a memorial concert on Nov. 8.

Church marks 100 years of iconic ‘In Flanders Fields’ poem Alex Robinson alex.robinson@metroland.com

It has been 100 years since Lieut.-Col. John McCrae marked the death of his Ottawa friend Alexis Helmer by writing “In Flanders Fields.” Dominion-Chalmers United Church in Centretown honoured Helmer, who was a member of the church, at a memorial concert on Nov. 8. “McCrae’s poem speaks to us because it speaks to what we lost. He saw the potential in that young man who was several decades younger and it broke his heart,” said Rev. James Murray, of Dominion-Chalmers United Church. “The poem speaks to that great sense of loss of such great potential.” Helmer’s family was prominent in the Ottawa area. His father, Richard Alexis Helmer, was a mayor of Gatineau before the family moved to Ottawa and lived on Gilmour Street. Helmer attended Lisgar Collegiate before he attended McGill University, where he met McCrae, who was a lecturer and doctor at the Montreal General Hospital. The two became great friends and were fighting in the second battle of Ypres when Helmer died on the battlefield at the age of 22. A German shell hit Helmer on May 2, 1915, likely instantly killing him. His remains were buried in a lost gravesite in Ypres and McCrae conducted a makeshift ceremony at his friend’s burial.

He wrote his famous poem shortly after, as he mourned Helmer’s death. Originally rejected by the Spectator Magazine, Punch published the poem that December. McCrae later died in 1918 of pneumonia at a field hospital he was serving at. “He never really got to see the impact this poem had,” Murray said. Helmer’s parents are both buried in Beechwood Cemetery and Helmer’s father was a celebrated military man, having reached the rank of Brigadier General before he died. Helmer’s family was involved in the Dominion Methodist Church, which was downtown until a fire in the 1960s destroyed its building. The congregation then joined Chalmers United Church to form the amalgamated institution. The church now has a plaque to honour Helmer’s memory, which was originally installed at the Dominion Methodist Church and was saved in the fire. “In one sense, he was totally typical of his time. He was a man of great courage and conviction,” Murray said of Helmer. “He gave himself to the cause and challenge of the day and we’re poorer for having lost him. We lost a generation of very capable people that would have made a huge difference. There is a price we pay for war.” The church’s memorial concert featured music from Glenn Miller and the Andrews Sisters, played by the Stan Clarke Orchestra, and the great granddaughters of Syd Hampson, among others.

Ottawa South News - Thursday, November 12, 2015

Personal history champion Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

Everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got a story worth telling, Bill Horne believes. The long-time Blackburn Hamlet resident, who is well-known by many who take part in the annual Blackburn Cancer Chase, has just been named the president of the Association of Personal Historians. A personal historian is a biographer, who writes the life story of a person or family. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s primarily by hire by an average family, not a mass-published book of a well-known or famous person. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to encourage people to think about the value of preserving histories,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doing it yourself or engaging a pro-

fessional, I want to get people thinking thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (only) a finite time to capture our histories.â&#x20AC;? Many people think they have to have been a prime minister or a trailblazer in some field to be worthy subjects of a book about their lives, but many ordinary folk have great stories to tell and pass down to future generations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not for everybody, but the belief is when most people have it done, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have it for generations,â&#x20AC;? he said. Stories heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seen have ranged from the personal history of a senior citizenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life, the chronicle of a family business that became a staple in the community, or â&#x20AC;&#x153;legacy lettersâ&#x20AC;?, which are extended wills with stories and reasoning behind why decisions

were made. Horne was working as a freelance writer and editor in 2004, when his nextdoor-neighbour asked him to write the personal history of a family member. From there it grew, and several others asked him to write similar stories, which often average about 40,000 words. He got online, and started searching for other writers who did the same thing as him, and stumbled upon the Association of Personal Historians. When he started working full-time with the government at at the foreign affairs ministry, he temporarily retired from his writing efforts, but re-joined the association after leaving the government job. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now been named the president of the international organization. During his

term, he hopes to promote the concept of personal histories, and get more families interested in having their familiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; stories published. While he focuses on print, he said more families are starting to consider audio or video to record their stories. While some families will reach out to a personal historian from outside the family to write a personal history, Horne said that there are many people with writing skills who â&#x20AC;&#x153;can do this perfectly well.â&#x20AC;? Here are some of his tips for writing a personal history of a family member: â&#x20AC;˘ Make sure the person, often a senior citizen, actually wants the story written. It can sometimes take some convincing for the person to actually agree for the story to be put together and be interviewed. â&#x20AC;˘ Decide how long, and how elaborate the story will be. Think about collecting photos.

Bill Horne with the first personal history story he wrote, about a neighbourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aunt.

BRIER DODGE/METROLAND

â&#x20AC;˘ Prepare for the time commitment. Often, Horne said, people underestimate the amount of time the interviewing and writing process takes. â&#x20AC;˘ Be prepared that it might cost more than originally planned. Often families will decide they want to print a book, or add more pages, than originally planned. All of those things will cost more money. â&#x20AC;˘ Record audio of all interviews. It can take too long to

write down notes from entire interviews by hand. â&#x20AC;˘ Save everything in multiple locations. Nothing is worse than losing a document that has hours of work put into it, especially with the availability of cheap memory sticks and external hard drives. â&#x20AC;˘ He also recommends checking out the website of the Association of Personal Historians at personalhistorians.org for more information and tips..

Deans’ proposes slowing down Hunt Club Road Brier Dodge

brier.dodge@metroland.com

The city’s transportation committee has recommended a speed reduction for a small stretch of Hunt Club Road that would see the speed limit reduced to 60 km/h from 80 km/h. Coun. Diane Deans raised the issue of making the change on a stretch of the road between a point about 140 metres east of Cahill Drive and Conroy Road. It’s 60 km an hour until you get to the intersection, so she proposed extending the slower speed limit area further. “For the last many years I have heard from the community associations and a myriad of constituents that feel that that speed is inappropriate for that stretch of the roadway,” she said, adding that many families cross the road with children to access the community centre on Lorry Greenberg Drive. “Parents don’t feel safe with their children going across that road with high volumes of speed,” she said. One person who showed up to speak to the issue was a resident of the area who said the speed limit is perfectly fine as is.

David Langner said his wife, who runs a daycare, crosses the street daily and hasn’t had an issue. He said if the speed limit is lowered to 60 km /h, that will cause more trouble than it’s worth File and create traffic issues on the four- The city’s transportation committee has approved lane road. changes for the speed limit on a section of Hunt Club

Last Thursday, I was pleased to participate in the CHEO Connects! symposium at Nepean High School. CHEO Connects is an educational series that provides free information to parents in the community about keeping kids safe. Thursday’s session, “Understanding Concussions – Recognizing Signs and Symptoms,” furthered the dialogue about preventing and treating concussions. The session started with a brief presentation on concussions, followed by a Question & Answer session with a panel of experts focusing on how to prevent concussions and to recognize, treat and monitor the progress of recovery.

“I’m not a speed demon,” he said, adding he tries to drive at the speed limit posted. “People who do try and do the speed limit will cause a traffic jam.” Committee members voted to support Deans’ motion and it will go forward to city council. Coun. Keith Egli asked staff to make sure if the motion passes, that police are notified so they can increase speed enforcement in the area. “There are an overwhelming number of residents who do believe that it’s in the interest of safety in the community,” Deans said.

Trudeau cabinet ‘looks like Canada’ Alex Robinson

alex.robinson@metroland.com

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau wants to bring back “government by cabinet.” In a conscious deviation from former prime minister Stephen Harper, Trudeau has said he wants to give his cabinet ministers more power than they would have had under the centralized regime of his predecessor. “This is going to be a period of slight adjustment for a number of people in the political world in Canada. Government by cabinet is back,” Trudeau said, speaking as prime minister for the first time, following his swearing-in ceremony on Nov. 4. “We are going to sit down around the cabinet table and talk about the solutions that need to be put forward, what is in the best interests of Canadians and how we’re going to deliver on the promise Canadians quite rightly expect us to keep.” He made the comment in response to a question about the refugee crisis after he and his cabinet ministers were sworn in at the Governor General’s residence earlier that morning. A crowd of hundreds eagerly greeted Trudeau as he walked along the driveway to the Governor General’s residence, leading his new cabinet. It was the first time the public got a glimpse of who would be in the cabinet of Canada’s 23rd prime minister. The prime minister has appointed 15 women in the 30-minister cabinet, which includes many parliamentary rookies, such as PeterboroughKawartha MP Maryam Monsef, who was tapped as democratic institutions minister, and Ottawa Centre MP Cath-

Speculation had swirled that Orléans MP Andrew Leslie might be among the cabinet ministers, but he was not among the MPs who followed Trudeau into Rideau Hall on Nov. 4. Other noticeable absences included former Toronto police chief Bill Blair, who was elected in Scarborough Southwest, and Spadina-Fort York MP Adam Vaughan. The cabinet also included veteran

There will be seven cabinet ministers from the Toronto area, six from Quebec, three from B.C., two from Alberta, one each in Saskatchewan and Manitobia, and one from each of the Atlantic provinces.

Council OK’s work on program affecting thousands of buildings Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

City council has approved the development of a water backflow prevention program that is expected to affect about 13,000 buildings that use city water, and cost the city $3 million. The proposed program would require owners of both new and old buildings, judged to be either a severe or moderate risk, to install backflow prevention devices. That would include apartment buildings, but not smaller residential buildings or other low density buildings. The devices would keep water from reversing in pipes due to a change in pressure, which could contaminate the city’s water supply, said Sally McIntyre, the city’s manager of environmental business services. Installing the devices would cost between $500 to $20,000 per building, said staff. The program, which would likely require implementation over five years, would also re-

quire building owners to register the devices and undergo an annual inspection. The city would incur about $3 million in costs to retrofit their own facilities with backflow prevention devices, and then $250,000 annually to inspect and maintain them. Other than that, the program shouldn’t cost the city anything, said McIntyre, as city staff proposes it be entirely paid through fees to the building owners. Though the city already has a bylaw prohibiting backflow, it relies largely on building owners or tenants to report backflow issues, while the city has no assurance the proper prevention measures are in place. The new program would ensure that, said McIntyre. City staff’s report on the potential program was passed at both the environment committee on Oct. 5 and council on Oct. 14 with just one dissent.

Scott Moffatt was the only dissenter, but not because he is against the program, he said. The problem is the city already gave its consent to go ahead with the program back in 2008. Back then it was called the cross-connection program, he said, and council told administration to go ahead with developing the program then. “It’s great and all to get a report that says these are important issues and we need to act on these and this is going to make our system better, but when you find out that council gave staff the direction they were looking for seven years File earlier and did absolutely noth- City council has approved the development of a water backflow prevention program that ing with it, it kind of makes me will keep city water clean, impact thousands of building owners and cost the city millions question, ‘Well why are you of dollars. here now?

Fury have eyes on the prize as title match looms in NY Staff

It took some anxious moments in extra time, and some key saves by Fury keeper Romuald Peiser to hold off Minnesota United FC’s final push for the equalizer, but the record-setting number of fans who attended the Fury’s playoff game at TD Place went home happy Nov. 8 when Ottawa’s pro soccer team emerged victorious 2-1 to set up a North American Soccer League championship match showdown in New York this coming weekend. The Fury, in just the team’s second year in the NASL, are going to the championship game against the New York Cosmos thanks to two goals by Tom Heinemann, the second scored in extra time in the 108th minute of the semi-final against Minnesota United FC. The match was played in front of a crowd of 9,346, which is a postseason record in the

league’s modern era, according to the NASL. In the championship match, Ottawa Fury FC will face the New York Cosmos, who defeated the Fort Lauderdale Strikers on Nov. 7 also by a 2-1 scoreline. The Cosmos, who will be seeking their record seventh NASL title, will host the final at Shuart Stadium in Hempstead, N.Y., on Sunday, Nov. 15, at 5 p.m. The title game in New York will match the top two teams in the NASL this season. The Cosmos won the Spring Season title and finished first in the combined standings on the second tie breaker (most goals scored over 30 games) over Ottawa. Ottawa Fury FC finished first in the Fall Season. The final will be the first time in 30 years, since 1984, that the NASL championship will be contested between a team from the United States and one from Canada. The Cosmos and Fury FC

played three times during the regular season, with each team winning once and one game, at TD Place on Aug. 26, ending in a 0-0 draw. The Cosmos won the first match between the clubs, at MCU Park in Brooklyn, N.Y., 1-0 on May 2. Fury FC made the trip again to New York, downing the Cosmos, 4-1, at Shuart Stadium on Sept. 22. The championship final will be the last professional game for the Cosmos’ two Spanish stars, Raúl and Marcos Senna, who earlier announced that they would retire after the 2015 NASL season. It will also be the last game that Fury coach Marc Dos Santos will be in charge of Ottawa’s team, as the man who has guided the team to FILE become one of the best in the Fury FC mascot Sparky holds up a road sign to temporarily rename a street near LansdNASL in a short time has al- owne Park Fury Way.

No scrap left without a use in the Depression

he bag hung on the back of the kitchen door. Mother didn’t like it there ... where everyone could see it as soon as they walked in the house, but there wasn’t really any other place for it. She reasoned, since everyone she knew on the Northcote Side Road had a bag in the same spot, that was obviously the best place for it. There was nothing unusual about the bag. Unless it was the red and blue printing on both its sides. It read: Five Roses Flour. Used for any other purpose, Mother would have tried, usually with little success, to bleach out the printing when the bags were used for bloomers, aprons, fancy tea towels, pillow slips, and yes, even sheets for the beds. But this bag would not be used for anything so fancy. It was simply called the rag bag. And that was its sole

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories purpose. It held anything that at one time was worn on our backs, and which had developed enough holes, had faded beyond use, worn thin and beyond repair, and generally was no longer considered wearable. It always amazed me why Mother, once something was doomed for the rag bag, had to first make sure it was washed. Then it was folded neatly, and crammed into the rag bag. And then every last scrap put into the bag would eventually have another purpose before finally being chucked into the cook stove. Tea towels, once flour bags themselves, but worn so thin

they were useless, became dusters. They would be cut into smaller pieces, and once they were used several times, would once again be washed, and then chucked back into the rag bag. Father’s and the three brothers’ long-johns were choice pieces in the rag bag. They became scrub cloths. Of course, they were cut into workable pieces first. There were two types of material in the long-johns ... cotton and wool. And only the cottons were used as scrub cloths. They absorbed the hot water and soap perfectly, could be rinsed out, could be used to mop up spills, and generally used

over and over again. The underwear made of fine wool had a special purpose. And it was at this time of year, the wool underwear, with anything else that Mother thought suitable, was taken out of the rag bag and piled in a corner of the kitchen on a chair, until she and my sister Audrey had a spare evening to put it all to another purpose. Anything of a light colour would have to have a Ritz Dye dip before it could be put to its final use. And then, as the evenings grew shorter, and the coal oil lamps were lit sometimes while we were still at the supper table, all of those pieces from the rag bag would be laid out on the kitchen table, and Mother and Audrey, using Mother’s best sewing scissors, cut everything into long thin strips. These were hand-sewn together until they were one long, rope-like piece, and it

half over, would have to be discarded and a new one put down. I would often play a game over the braided rugs. I would get down on my hands and knees and try to remember what part of a braid had served its original purpose. There would be the remnants of my faded and worn navy blue fleece lined bloomers, and Father’s old red plaid shirt, and of course, the long underwear. Stuffing the rag bag was an ongoing process. Like morsels of leftover meals, string from Briscoe’s General Store, tin cans, newspapers, and yes, even goose grease had a purpose back in the thirties. Nothing was wasted. It was the only way to survive the Depression years, which had closed tightly around us.

Lemmy

Hi, my name is Lemmy, but my owners affectionately call me Sauce or Stinky. I just turned one years old, so I still have lots of energy to play and jump around. I’m the only pet in the house, so I’m pretty much king of the castle. I can also be a bit mischievous sometimes. I tend to knock things off counters and chase my toys around loudly at 4 AM. But deep down I am really a cuddly little guy who likes to curl up in bed or on the couch. I love getting my chin scratched and I greet my pet guardians by licking them on the face when they come home.

was my job to wrap it around the back of a chair to make a big coil. And then on the cold winter nights, when the kitchen was the warmest room in the house, those long coils from the rag bag would end up in their final resting place. With a large-eyed needle, and the heaviest thread Mother could buy at Walker’s Store in Renfrew, she would turn those strips into yet another braided rug for the floor. She would divide the evening into sewing together the long strips and spending time on her beloved diaries. Heaven forbid that her diaries should be neglected! And I would watch those strips, three at a time, turn into braids, hand-sewn, and see the effort getting bigger and bigger until the braided rug was the size Mother wanted. There were braided rungs everywhere. The one at the back door, which got constant use from wet gum rubbers, snow covered footwear, and yes, even the odd piece of manure stuck onto Father’s boots, before the winter was

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 Aries, things go well in your love life this week, especially after you let go of the reins for a little while. You will be surprised at what comes when you accept change. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Resist the urge to feel slighted when others don’t pay you the attention you think you deserve, Taurus. Your efforts are being noticed, and they will pay dividends in the long run. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Put your worries aside, Gemini. This week you will be floating on a cloud. Something special comes your way, and the next week should be filled with laughter. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Don’t allow indecision to keep you from your ultimate goal this week, Cancer. Do your best to keep an open mind and have confidence in your ability to make the right call. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 You are spurred on by other people’s energy this week, Leo. The more social engagements you can set up the better off you will be. Host a party or enjoy a night on the town. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, stay busy this week with tasks that keep your mind occupied. You can use a few pressure-free days, and staying busy will prevent you from worrying.

Take action and you will be glad you did. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Tasks may need a little more attention this week, Pisces.
