Bayview changes ‘blindside’ residents

BY ERIN MCCRACKEN erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Sandbagged.

Blindsided. Sleights of hand.

Gobbledygook. Let down.

Riverside Park residents feel betrayed by what they say were behind-the-scenes changes made to a 2009 council-approved community concept plan that was to guide development of

the former Bayview Public School site, which is located across from Mooney’s Bay Park.

A field house was removed, a sports field was changed to a multi-use park on 0.6 hectares rather than 0.8 hectares and ground-floor retail space was added.

All Families Are Equal We are always striving to support and strengthen families in Ontario through education, health, child care and many more supports. Families today are increasingly diverse. We have more and more families comprised of single parents, those in a blended or dual-custody situation as well as LGBTQ2+ families. Ontario introduced legislation last week that would ensure all families are treated equally, and end the legal uncertainty faced by Ontario parents who conceive their children using assisted reproduction.

Under the current parentage law, which has not been updated since 1978, parents who are not biologically related to their children often need to go to court to be legally recognized as their parents.

The proposed All Families Are Equal Act would: • Ensure that all couples who use assisted reproduction to conceive are recognized as their child’s parents.

• Allow parents who use a surrogate to be legally recognized as their child’s parents without a court process, as long as the surrogate agrees before conception and after birth.

• More clearly recognize the legal status of all parents, regardless of how their child was conceived.

There is no one way to have a family. The changes we are proposing reflect this reality.

Every child deserves the opportunity to thrive and have the best possible start in life. Clarifying how parents and children are treated, regardless of how the child was conceived, is another way Ontario is supporting families across the province.

We Are Here to Help Please feel free to contact me at my community office if there are any provincial issues I can assist you with. My staff and I will always do our best to help you.

Residents oppose lack of consultation Continued from page 1

“How is it that a developer is able to slip in different uses and something the community didn’t have a chance to discuss?” asked Riverview Park resident Ravi Singh.

He expressed his dismay that community input wasn’t sought on the amended plan during the city’s finance and economic development committee meeting on Nov. 1, where staff presented the changes.

The city’s arms-length Ottawa Community Lands Development Corporation is now in the process of finalizing the sale of the land the city has owned since 2008.

The concept plan changes were scheduled to go before council for receipt Nov. 9.

“It’s not that commercial is bad. It shouldn’t be done sneakily and slipped in,” Singh said.

“Now we’re being let down.”

Riverside Park residents Karin Howard (left), Carolyn Percy-Searle, Craig Searle and Ravi Singh River Coun. Riley Brocking- say their community has been blindsided by changes made to a 2009 council-approved and ton, who at the request of the community-driven concept plan for the former Bayview Public School site, located in their Riverside Park Community and neighbourhood.

Recreation Association unsuccessfully asked the finance committee to delay the process until February so residents could review the revised plan, said he won’t support a strip mall or a commercial enterprise that fronts Riverside Drive.

“The plan we have now contains something different,” said Brockington, who first learned commercial had been added when he signed a non-disclosure agreement on Aug. 31 so he could make inquiries and provide more input.

“I think as a councillor I need

to know what’s going on and articulate concerns,” he said.

However, he said he was told this was the best possible deal.

The removal of the sports field and $1.1-million field house was done in consultation with the city’s parks and recreation department and Brockington before the city issued its request-for-offers for the property in June, said Gordon MacNair, director of the city’s real estate partnerships and development office.

house since at least last September.

The structure was to serve as a community centre, which residents have wanted for 30 years, said Karin Howard, a Riverside Park resident and former city councillor.

She said that loss, coupled with the surprise addition of commercial, are “two sleights of hand.”

“Again we feel sandbagged as a community,” said Howard, who is still feeling the sting of the Mooney’s Bay playground for

which there was no consultation.

Craig Searle, vice-president of the Riverside Park Community and Recreation Association, said it feels like a rush job given the extent of the changes, the surprise addition of commercial and the city committee’s refusal to defer the sale until February.

“There was no public warning about it,” he said. “I feel kind of blindsided that they used a lot of technical jargon that nobody can understand. It’s total gobbledygook.”

It’s been seven years since the concept plan was last revisited by the community, and a lot has changed since then, he said, adding another round is needed to gauge the community’s views.

Brockington’s mailed survey to 3,000 homes last fall garnered 200 replies about the lot (he also said he met with several groups including the association), but Searle said that’s not the same as having a meeting.

“That to me does not equate to community consultation,” said Searle, who also questions whether the community can still benefit from the $1.1 million once earmarked for the field house.

MacNair said there was talk at one time of a financial contribution up to that amount, but that has now changed.

See NO, page 5

No strip mall coming, just shops for local residents, city insists Continued from page 4

“There was no commitment from the current council to actually do that, but I can tell you there is an opportunity where the proponent will be doing certain things on this park,” he said.

A list if possible features include a splash pad, play structure, basketball court and a mini soccer pitch. The developer would design and construct any new features with input from the community, Reeves said.

MacNair said there was no desire to take the revised concept plan back to residents for review before the finance committee meeting.

“Our mandate was to move forward with the sale of these lands and if this concept plan deviated from the original 2009 concept plan we were to report back to the appropriate standing committee and that’s exactly what we’ve done,” he said.

MacNair also said the field house and sports field were the only changes made to the plan before the city issued its request for expressions of interest earlier this year. While that request at-

A side-by-side comparison of an overview map of the former Bayview Public School site illustrates recent changes made to a community concept plan that was approved by council back in 2009. The 2009 concept is on the left and the 2016 plan is at right. tracted a lot of interest, not everyone liked the concept.

“I can tell you that in every instance they did make changes,” said MacNair. “Nobody came back with the exact concept plan.”

The highest ranked bidder, which won’t be disclosed until the deal is finalized, came close, checking off a number of points in the original concept, such as putting low-density residential against existing homes, adding a buffer between those, placing

medium density in the centre and putting green space at Riverside Drive, said city planner Lauren Reeves.

To give potential interested parties a better idea of what the plan’s low and medium density meant, staff labelled the low density with an R3 zone, meaning residential dwellings up to three storeys. Medium density was given an R5 zone in keeping with the community’s desire for a midrise residential building of no more than six storeys, MacNair

said.

R5 also includes ancillary or local, small-scale commercial or service uses on the ground floor of the R5 building, said Reeves.

Possible options could be a florist shop, laundromat, newsstand, medical facility, veterinarian clinic and office space.

“They’re intended for those who live in the area,” she said.

“They’re not supposed to be traffic draws. They’re small.”

“This is not a strip mall,” MacNair insisted.

But Singh said residents initially opposed commercial because of traffic implications and the types of businesses that could be added.

Whether there will be demand for more retail space is another question.

“It’s not like there’s a significant need for commercial real estate at this point, given that we can’t even fill our mall,” said François Bouchard, president of the Country Grocer at the nearby Riverside Mall which he co-owns. He also spoke to the finance committee, as did Searle.

Once the sale of the 4.3-hectare lot is finalized within the next two months, there will be opportunities for “significant public consultation” at several different stages in the planning process – which could begin in mid-2017 – since the land will have to be rezoned from institutional, said McNair.

Subdivision and site plan approvals will also be required.

Construction won’t begin until at least sometime in 2018, he added.

“They will have to demonstrate to the community, and to the city staff and to the council-

lor that this makes sense otherwise it’s not going to happen,” MacNair said.

Brockington said he will share the community’s concerns as soon as he finds out the buyer’s identity.

“Is this a done deal? And the answer is simply no, not at all,” he said.

But Searle said deferring the plan would have given residents more time to consider the revisions. Waiting until the planning process begins isn’t in the best interests of the community.

“From our position ... that’s too late,” he said.

Bouchard said any future consultation with the community has already been soured.

“Now what you’ve got is a developer basically at odds against the community before the process even starts,” he said. “And the city is truthfully the one that’s caused it.

“You don’t understand how sensitive this neighbourhood is to the non-consultation aspect of what city council does. You just went through Giver (the Mooney’s Bay playground) and now you’re going to do this?”

OPINION

Connected to your community

Residents express outrage over former school property plans OPEN LETTER TO MAYOR WATSON: I am so disappointed in city council that a concept plan for the former Bayview Public School property at 3071 Riverside Dr., approved in 2009, could be revised in 2016 with major changes which will affect our neighbourhood and future generations forever.

I have lived and pay taxes in this neighbourhood in River Ward since 1998 on a street backing onto this property and prior lived elsewhere in this ward since 1986. My two sons attended Bayview Public School. I watched the school be torn down, contaminated soil be removed and the land transferred to OCLDC. I wrote to then Coun. McRae, attended her two visioning exercises and gave my feedback. We didn’t want this development but accepted it with caveats on height restriction and density. We did not want a senior’s/nursing home

nor a commercial strip mall but acquiesced to low and medium density homes.

I am shocked and appalled at the outcome of the past two weeks with the proposed changes to the 2009 plan. I feel betrayed and have lost faith in council doing what is best for our community vs. money in developer’s and the city’s pockets! We didn’t even get the chance to consult with what is now proposed. Eight years went by with land being sold to OCLDC, RFO sent out, meetings and bids but no warning of major revised plan. Why rush it through now?

This property has one of the best views of the Rideau River and Mooney’s Bay Park land. Why would a strip mall take up this prime location?

Traffic density in this location is now an issue. Add in an access/egress for a strip mall and another traffic

light where there is no required distance and it will be a nightmare along Riverside Dr. between Walkley and Mooney’s Bay Place.

I note the $1.8M for the field house which will now not be built is a savings for the city yet $1M was given last spring to GIVER for the playground just down the road. Coincidence?

Both should have had consultations with the public but did not.

This revised plan is not a community plan and the major changes, including the strip mall along Riverside Dr., were not consulted upon. Why seek our input prior to 2009 and not now on these major changes?

I feel betrayed by city council and city planning staff.

Our neighbourhood deserves better.

Open Letter to the Mayor: There was a time when city hall put residents first, when design aimed to fulfill the needs of the community and profits and politicking was not the norm.

The former Bayview School property at 3071 Riverside is slated to meet the last condition imposed by the city before being sold. This condition is to have approval from city council, IF the community plan was ever changed.

Well Mr. Mayor, it was changed in the middle of the night, with everyone in the community sleeping softly because they felt their plan from 2009 would be respected. These changes are coming to council and include a number of new uses not wanted by residents and as an added bonus, a steep slippery slope into bad design and planning that you seem to be willing to send us down. This site was zoned

for a school, in 2009 the community came up with a plan that council approved. The next step would have been to re-zone and request proposals from interested buyers. The city and community were all in agreement.

In 2014, the property was instead transferred to the Ottawa Community Lands Development Corporation with the sole requirement that any changes to the original plan would be brought back for approval. In the new plan the community has lost the field house, and is being told that we have no choice but to accept a commercial strip. Bottom line — the city amended the community’s plan based on the profitable interest of the developer and only told residents 10 days ago.

How is it possible to outright deny the collaborative and constructive views of residents and champion those of a

developer. Is it because there is a cash advantage for the city?

Frankly, Mr. Mayor, there is no trust from residents of River Ward in council.

Mr. Mayor, I am not asking for this site to sit idle – what residents are asking for is a fair voice. The community wants this development to move ahead, we want the city to maximize profits from its sale and we want to inject new life into the area.

But this should be done with fairness and transparency for all parties.

This is not a simple real estate matter; it is a chance for the city to regain the confidence of the River Ward community.

It comes down to a matter of trust

T

he Progressive Conservatives in a riding that has yet to see a provincial election are shooting themselves in the foot with a shady nomination

process.

The new riding of Carleton will be in play in the 2018 provincial election as the current riding of Nepean-Carleton is split in two due to population growth.

It includes much of rural south Ottawa and Stittsville.

The folks who were elected to the PC riding association in Carleton have been accused by fellow conservatives of stacking the deck to ensure only one candidate ends up on the provincial ballot.

There are whispers that the party’s leader, Patrick Brown, is pulling strings to get a preferred candidate selected.

When friends of a particular candidate control a riding executive, they can set nomination rules, change the rules, change key dates for paperwork and meetings, and arbitrarily disqualify other candidates.

Welcome to Carleton.

It’s a fool’s game. Leadership must trust party members to pick a good candidate. Only then will the grassroots trust the leadership.

A cup of bitterness and a pinch of meanness make for a perfect recipe if you want to turn off potential PC voters.

Liberals are waiting for the mess to settle, and will then be in good shape to choose a candidate who immediately appears above the fray.

If the PC machinations turn off enough voters, and the Liberals name a squeaky clean candidate, the new Carleton riding will be in play.

At the riding executive level, the members who are pulling the strings are blinded by ambition and short-sighted goals.

They think getting the “right” person on the ballot is the ultimate outcome, when getting an electable person on the ballot should be the focus.

Time will tell. The provincial election is scheduled for June 7, 2018.

Self-driving us all to frustrating distraction

O

nce again the self-driving car is in the news.

Various advocates have been touring, various manufacturers have been talking about manufacturing it and, all in all, it appears as if the day is drawing closer.

A dream has been presented to us.

In the dream, traffic congestion and air pollution have disappeared because people have given up owning gas guzzling SUVs and opted for adorable little electric vehicles they can summon to take them where they want.

Parking lots are no longer necessary so cities can have more parks and housing. Automobile accidents are a thing of the past because the smart little electric vehicles know how to avoid them.

What a wonderful world.

Why do I keep thinking of the

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town Rhinoceros Party and its proposal, back in the 1980s, that Canada switch to driving on the left-hand side of the road and that the change be phased in — first, with trucks and buses.

Things could go wrong, in other words. The question, really, is not how smart the driverless cars are, but how smart we are.

Because if we are not smart, we could be in for trouble.

That always happens when we let our consumer self overwhelm our citizen self.

Think of the Internet. We fall in love with its convenience and capacity to entertain and forget about other aspects.

Daily newspapers are dying.

Think of the Internet as the driverless newspaper. The music and publishing industries are in decline. Lots of folks are out of work.

That probably could have been avoided if we were smarter as the Internet was developing.

Will there be smart thinking in advance of the smart car? There better be. If fewer drivers are needed for those trucks and buses and delivery vehicles what, exactly, happens to those people? It’s nice to think of fewer cars on the road, but not if you work beside it, running a gas station or a restaurant.

And what happens to the people who formerly worked making those cars?

Can the economy of the selfdriving car create enough jobs to make up for the ones lost? Maybe, but we haven’t been very good at creating jobs for the people who no longer work in, for example, the pulp and paper industry, or the people whose jobs have been automated out of existence.

That’s one thing. The other is more in the realm of science fiction, but then, what’s more science fiction than a self-driving car?

Since self-driving cars depend on computers and since computers, as we see every day, can be hacked, who is to say that the controls of our adorable little non-polluting vehicles won’t, from time to time, fall into the wrong hands?

It could be pranksters, or worse.

Do you want Julian Assange driving you to work? If hackers can disable websites, can’t they also disable cars? And think of the chaos that would develop if that happened.

Homework – Is it detrimental to family life?

T

BRYNNA LESLIE

gender violence”, “prepare a new recipe”, or “spend a day together in the field”, as the

CEAPA suggests. Surely, all of these will have a greater positive impact on the cohe-

siveness of the family unit than the daily battle over multiplication tables.

Capital Muse A study conducted by the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) warns that extended time online has a detrimental impact on social relationships and family cohesiveness. Specifically, excessive screen time draws our attention away from real people, can make bullying and harassment more pronounced and makes it easier for kids to connect with their peers instead of parents, notes the report, entitled Unplug and Connect.

“Using technology more and more may cause us to connect less and less with each other,” notes the CHEO report.

“Mental health professionals are becoming concerned, because they are seeing more and more youth with emotional and behavioural problems.”

This, they argue, makes “strong bonds between parents, children and youth are more important than ever.”

So perhaps it’s time to take the lead from the Spaniards – down with homework! Instead of working on that pesky autobiography on Google Slideshare (you know, the one the kids seem to do every year), why not “talk about

eos on the Internet, far more than our counterparts in the United States.

Moreover, much of today’s homework, even for the youngest children in elementary school, is moving online.

Homework, which has always disproportionately benefited the middle class, may trigger a further divide by being moved online. Kids in lower-income homes are much less likely to have a parent present, with a good Internet connection and a device to conduct daily activities, putting them at a distinct disadvantage.

“In shifting learning from the classroom to the home, we risk shifting benefits to middle and upper-middle class families,” explained Peter Chaban, a teacher and researcher at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto to the hospital’s online publication. “With a parent close by, a computer and Internet access and a quiet, organized space for homework, kids in upper-middle class families have a real advantage.”

Beyond the disproportionate benefit to middle and upper class kids, however, homework today necessarily sees children spending evermore time on screens.

he last thing I want to do when I get home from work is do more work. Sadly, that’s precisely the mentality for elementary school children, who seem to be saddled with hours of homework every night.

There are some hilarious Internet memes about science projects and speeches, with parents saying things like, “I got an A!” Is it any wonder the parents take credit for the projects when we’re often the ones spending countless evening hours hovering over our children, ruler in hand, teaching them how to source properly on the Internet.

In Spain, the CEAPA, which represents 12,000 parent and teacher organizations, has designated November as “the month without duties.”

In other words, Spaniards are in outright protest against homework, which they see as detrimental to family life and wellness. More than 80 per cent of parents in Spain believe their kids are receiving too much homework.

The CEAPA would rather see after school hours spent with families engaging in activities like “visiting museums”, “playing board games” or “mapping out a route on public transportation together”.

Perhaps it’s wishful thinking to presume parents and families would replace homework time with collective bonding activities such as those suggested by the CEAPA. If statistics are anything to go by, it may just give us more collective time to consume Netflix.

According to the Canadian Internet Registration Authority, 40 per cent of Canadians stream five hours or more per week of TV, movies and vid-

Tories make choice in Carleton

BY ERIN MCCRACKEN erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Cheers and applause erupted as Goldie Ghamari was elected as the Ontario Progressive Conservative Party nominee in the new Carleton riding after a controversial nomination campaign.

“I'm so honoured and I'm really humbled to have earned your trust, and I promise you I will not let you down," Ghamari said from the stage of the Alfred Taylor Centre in North Gower following a nomination vote on Nov. 5 in which she defeated rival Brandon Purcell of Stittsville.

She said in her 10-month To SELL equipment, please drop it off between Sunday Nov 6th and Friday Nov 11th campaign she drove to nearly every corner of the new provincial riding, making stops in Mount Pakenham Metcalfe, Stittsville, Ashton, JOB FAIR - Nov 13th 3pm Munster, Richmond, North Hiring for all departments Gower, Kars, Vernon and Manotick, and credited those who supported her.

The trade lawyer said it was unfortunate that attacks were made against her during the campaign.

“Attacks have included racial smears, lies about my decency and my loyalty to Canada," she said. "And I just wanted to let you know that despite these attacks I didn't quit. I didn't give up and I will never give up.”

When Purcell took to the stage after the vote result was announced, he focused on the importance of advocating for “a PC-united party,” prompting applause and cheers.

“And the key to winning this riding after today is going to be for all members, because if we are divided then (Premier) Kathleen Wynne wins again,” he said before introducing Ghamari in her new role.

PROCESS

The vote breakdown was not disclosed by party officials.

Purcell's father, John, expressed concern to Metroland Media after the meeting that the official ballot count had not been announced. However, Purcell said he, as a candidate, chose not to learn the tally.

"One of my volunteers was

a scrutineer back there, but I'm fine not knowing," he said. "It's just not something I want to think about right now."

He reiterated that his focus is on ensuring the party is unified.

DIVISIVE CAMPAIGN

“At the end, this was a divisive campaign,” Purcell said, adding he and his competition spent the bulk of the race concentrating on their own campaigns, but that this changed by the end of the nomination campaign.

“A lot of people were upset, and what's needed is unity and I was the only voice in the room who could actually do that,” Purcell said of his final speech.

Purcell said that he will now put his focus on finishing his university degree over the next month.

But he said he does plan on seeking another political nomination in the future, possibly at the provincial level again.

ERIN MCCRACKEN/METROLAND

Goldie Ghamari speaks to the crowd at the Alred Taylor Centre in North Gower on Nov. 5 after voting results revealed she had been nominated as the PC Party candidate in the new provincial Carleton riding.

Bob Stanley, executive director of the Ontario PC Party, said the voting numbers are not publicly disclosed, but did reveal that more than 300 ballots had been cast.

It's not a party constitution rule, he said, adding, "There's just no purpose served in it."

When asked why the numbers wouldn't be disclosed in case it had been a close vote, prompting a candidate to contest the results and request a recount - a concern raised by Purcell's father Stanley said, "Both sides were satisfied with the vote."

Tamara Macgregor, director of communications for the Ontario PC Party and PC Party leader Patrick Brown, initially said the party would provide the voting count.

But following the announcement that Ghamari had won, Macgregor said she didn't know what the vote breakdown was but would email the tally. She later did not respond to an emailed request for that information and the total ballots cast.

In the lead up to the nomination meeting, a number of complaints were directed at Ghamari and the Carleton PC Riding Association around the optics at the founding meeting in August, that Ghamari sits on the association's board of directors, whether the Alfred Taylor Centre could accommodate enough Conservatives for a nomination meeting, and the time frame allotted for voting registration.

More changes raised eyebrows at the nomination meeting.

As voters waited to cast their ballots,

Purcell said last-minute changes had been made to the nomination meeting schedule.

Purcell said he received a letter on Nov. 2 informing him that candidate speeches would begin at 9 a.m., followed by registration and voting. Originally, the registration was slotted for 9 to 10 a.m., followed by speeches and then registration and voting.

Purcell said those changes forced him to cancel an early morning pre-nomination meeting breakfast at the Manotick United Church where he planned to meet residents of the riding.

“We weren't expecting this second (letter). I received no explanation as to why it changed at the last minute,” he said.

“The riding (association) asked for more time,” Macgregor said of the registration process.

Liz MacKinnon, president of the Carleton PC Riding Association, said party members received an updated notice by mail about the changes on Nov. 1 and that it was done to accommodate busy farmers in the community.

For those with their minds made up, they could skip the speeches and drop in between 9:30 and 11 a.m. to register and vote, MacKinnon said, adding that party officials made the scheduling change but she felt enough advance notice about the amended schedule had been provided.

While she said she didn't know the change was being made because "the party ran the whole show," she said the revised schedule was more efficient for voters.

“If they don't want to sit through speeches and stand in long lines to be registered, that's easy for people.”

Good hearing but trouble with conversation?

This improvement in hearing can be achieved for some clients through the new Phonak Audéo V’s hearing aids.

This cutting-edge hearing technology comes in a miniature casing that can significantly enhance the user’s ability to hear speech in company. The hearing aids attune to the person you are speaking to and can also recognize if ambient noise increases in the background.

A lot of people have trouble catching what people say, especially in group situations, despite having good hearing.

What a lot of people don’t know is that this may be caused by damage to the so-called motor or amplifier function of special cells in the ear. A new type of hearing aid can help balance this out.

A great many people have difficulty hearing others clearly on a daily basis.

Bad acoustics, unclear pronunciation, background noise and music often make it challenging to catch what people say. This results in them having to repeatedly ask questions, straining to hear and perhaps increasingly avoiding discussions in large groups.

As mentioned earlier, this may be caused by malfunctions in special cells in the ear. According to a theory proposed by hearing researchers, “motor cells” are a type of hair cell responsible for amplifying quiet sounds. They vibrate up to 20,000 times per second. If these hair cells do not work properly then quiet sounds are no longer naturally

Hair cells in the ear move very rapidly and can act as an amplifier or dampener. If these cells are damaged, they can no longer properly amplify speech and dampen loud noises. amplified in the ear and loud sounds no longer dampened.

This leads to more difficulty in hearing what is said in a lot of situations. If the hair cells have been damaged by noise or blood circulation problems, hearing aids that amplify quiet speech and dampen loud ambient noise can be a good solution for most people.

Hearing sensation!

Swiss researchers: Audéo V is superior for conversation.

Connect Hearing is currently looking to improve hearing for people who experience these challenges and want to try this new technology. We are particularly interested in candidates who have trouble hearing speech in the situations discussed above and can benefit from a trial to see whether they notice an improvement.

Police officers raid Findlay Creek address, netting drugs and suspects

BY ERIN MCCRACKEN erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Guns and gangs officers swooped in on a Findlay Creek home and netted cocaine, crack cocaine, hashish and cash – drugs that were destined for Ottawa’s streets, according to police.

“It’s very rewarding,” Ottawa police spokesman Const. Chuck Benoit said of the bust. “The investigation pursued for a short period of time and they were able to seize an amount off these two people and take some drugs off the streets, and also take two people off the road who are dealing drugs to kids and communities.”

The specialized unit with the Ottawa Police Service executed a Controlled Drug and Substance Act search warrant at a residence in the 200-block of Big Sky Private the morning of Nov. 4. Big Sky Private is a new address in Findlay Creek.

During the raid, two suspected drug dealers, who police say are

known to them, were arrested in connection with an investigation that was launched in October. Benoit declined to reveal what prompted the investigation so as not to compromise the case, nor whether it began as the result of tips from the public.

Police are remaining tight-lipped about the case, but Benoit did disclose that no other suspects are wanted in connection with the investigation.

In addition to making the arrests, officers at the address seized 81 grams of cocaine, 23 grams of crack cocaine, 4.5 grams of hashish and $9,155 in Canadian currency, according to an Ottawa police press release issued the day of the raid.

While Benoit could not elaborate on why the police guns and gangs unit was called in for this investigation, he said it’s not uncommon for both that unit and the Ottawa police drug unit to work together on files.

“They work with certain individuals that are mixed in both trades,”

Benoit said. “A lot of drug dealers have guns and a lot of people that have guns deal drugs.”

Benoit would not confirm if the suspected drug operation in Findlay Creek has gang ties, but said the investigation centred on the drug activity.

“This investigation, per say, is not because of gang activity. It’s because they are dealing drugs,” he explained.

He also refused to say how long the drug dealing had been going on or whether the suspects had been selling drugs from that Findlay Creek residence.

Two male 25-year-old suspects have been charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking in cocaine and hashish and with possession of proceeds of crime over $5,000.

They were scheduled to appear in court for a show-cause hearing the afternoon of Nov. 4. Benoit said that would determine whether the suspects would be remain in custody until the next court date.

RIDEAU-GOULBOURN COUN. SCOTT MOFFATT/TWITTER

TractorGate mystery solved Signs prohibiting tractors on North Gower streets popped up thanks to a city coding error. Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt announced on Twitter on Oct. 31 that he had knocked down two of the signs on Fourth Line Road, but that there were more out there.

He subsequently asked that they be removed. “If you happen to be driving a tractor near North Gower, ignore these signs,” he said. “They are ridiculous.” Moffatt said a company contracted to do road repairs in the area were to post detour signs for heavy trucks. But a computer error led to no-tractor signs instead.

Stephen Lee, left, receives a Medal of Bravery from Gov. Gen. David Johnston at a ceremony at Rideau Hall on Oct. 28. Lee was injured on Feb. 10, 2009, when he tried to help a skating rink attendant who was being attacked at Pauline Vanier Park in the Riverside Park community. The attendant was being beaten and threatened with a knife after he requested several intoxicated youths to leave. The Bravery medal was one of 43 awarded last month to people who risked their lives trying to save or protect others.

An Environmental Study Report (ESR) has been prepared to document the planning and design process and the recommended plan for the corridor.

Public art to enhance Canterbury covered rink

BY ERIN MCCRACKEN erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Artists are invited to apply their creative touch to the future Canterbury covered rink.

The chosen artwork will be featured under the roof of the city’s inaugural outdoor covered rink, which will be built next near the Brian Kilrea Arena at the Canterbury Recreation Centre in Alta Vista. Construction is scheduled to begin next spring and the rink is slated to open in November 2017.

According to the city’s submission requirements, the artwork is to attract people to the rink and animate the space year-round during on- and office activities, events and programs.

The refrigerated ice pad will be open annually from November to March, and community programs and events will be held at the space the rest of the year.

“Although its impact may be highest during winter evenings, the art should have an impact during the

daytime and in all seasons,” the city’s call for artists reads. “In addition, the local community encourages artists to consider themes of community and inclusivity in their artwork.”

Artists are encouraged to explore ways that Canterbury High School students can be involved.

The design for this project must be conceptually and visually innovative, ensure any lighting component doesn’t shine into nearby neighbourhoods, be safe for the public and durable, need very little maintenance and comply with municipal codes and bylaws.

Given the city’s plan to install multi-coloured LED lighting at the rink, artists can integrate this feature within their artwork, according to city staff.

The chosen artist will be given $23,000, plus HST, to work with, covering all design, fabrication, storage, transportation, installation and engineering costs.

The commissioning of the art will be done in two arms-length stages.

An artist’s qualifications will be considered by a peer-assessment committee made up of experienced artists. Four candidates will be shortlisted before going on to the proposal stage, which will include a technical review, as well as the submission of sketches and budget information.

During the process, the four will present their designs to the public at an open house, and at a later date present their creations to the assessment committee.

Applications must be submitted by Dec. 13 at 4 p.m.

The cost of the $5.8-million rink will be covered by $400,000 in sponsorships, user fees and community partners, $2.5 million in citywide development charges and a $2.9-million 10-year ward levy, which caught some heat earlier this year as some residents opposed the tax.

For details on the call for artists, CITY OF OTTAWA/SCREENGRAB visit ottawa.ca/en/public-art-canArtists are invited to submit their vision for the creation of a public art terbury-covered-rink, or call David Poole, the city’s public art officer, by installation at the Canterbury community covered rink, which will be calling 613-244-4261. built next year in Alta Vista.

Week In Review!

Last year for Halloween, I had my fully decorated “Hallow-mobile” out and about the Villages giving out donated candy and safety bracelets. It was a great success, however this year I thought I might try something a little different! I transformed my garage with the help of my family and staff into a Haunted Halloween Walkthrough with tremendous success!

It was a spider web infested cave with haunting music, black lights, carved pumpkins, buckets of brains, eyeballs, and fingers for the bravest of trick-or-treaters to touch. Then finishing the walk to receive reflective bracelets provided by Safe Roads Ottawa and donated candy from Moncion’s Independent Grocer located in Riverside South!

There were close to 200 costumed children and adults alike that stopped by for a glimpse and walk through. I had children come by the wagon full, as well as vans, cars and even the fire truck stopped by with volunteer firefighters. What an amazing evening!

Open doors this week was quite busy! The great part about being out in the Ward office is always having the accessibility to meet with residents that can drop in locally. One of the most rewarding portions of open doors is having the chance to meet new residents, as I did this past Tuesday. As always, it is a pleasure to see all who come out, and I will see you next week.

A Remembrance Day ceremony was held in Vernon this past weekend.

This year, the junior choir from Castor Valley Public School sang during the ceremony in a touching tribute. During the reading of In Flanders Fields, we bowed our heads and remembered those that bravely served during the war. Lest We Forget.

St. Catherine’s Catholic School in Metcalfe started off their Halloween Day with a fundraising Dance-A-Thon! This event was organized and carried out by the Grade six classes. With a very talented group, they arranged everything from music to choreography. They even had me involved by jumping up on stage and participating in the dances, good thing I had the dancing shoes on. It was a great event with fantastic school spirit to raise funds for school supplies. Thank you for asking me to join in, I had so much fun!

The Annual Trick or Treat with the Mayor had many joining in the Halloween excitement at City Hall. The creative parade of costumes was amazing with people of all ages participating. Mayor “Farmer” Watson was completely into the spirit dressed up, as he claimed, “Farmer from Osgoode.” I assisted him with in handing out florescent orange flashlights for children’s safety on the streets for Halloween night.

Osgoode Public School graduated from the School Travel Planning program from the IWalk 2016 committee for promoting a more green way to get to school while encouraging a healthier lifestyle. It was a pleasure to receive the award on their behalf and say a few words about participating in the walk earlier this year. This is the first time that the rural schools were included in the program and congratulations once again to OPS for their great initiative.

The celebration gardens across Metcalfe continues as the eager Metcalfe Brownies were out planting the bulbs at the Stanley Apartments with resident Donna Gordon and parents provided a guiding hand. The Metcalfe Community Centre and Arena is also hard at work planting their own set of Tulips, with the Metcalfe Jets testing out their green thumb. I cannot wait for the spring blooms.

Police clamp down on swarming spree Robbery squad links Herongate, Heatherington, Hintonburg swarmings

BY ERIN MCCRACKEN erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Patrol, K9 and tactical police officers descended on Herongate last week in the immediate aftermath of three back-to-back swarmings, producing a slew of arrests.

Four teenagers – the youngest of them 13 years old – are now facing charges after police say they targeted three victims as they walked alone in Sandalwood Park, near Chartley Private and Colliston Crescent, and along the

pathway between Colliston and Cedarwood Drive on Nov. 3 just after 8 p.m.

“It was a matter of saturating the area and locating them,” said Staff Sgt. Michael Haarbosch, head of the robbery unit.

The rapid deployment was thanks to prompt reporting by victims, the availability of the officers and because the swarmings showed signs of continuing – if not that same night then in the days to follow.

“By that point we’d had several that had taken place back-to-back, so it wasn’t likely to end,” Haarbosch said.

Three Ottawa teens, aged 13, 15, and 17, and an 18-yearold Ottawa man are each facing three counts of robbery, three counts of wearing a disguise and one count of con-

spiracy, and were scheduled to appear in court on Nov. 4.

Haarbosch said it’s unusual, in the case of the 13-yearold, to see someone so young arrested.

“We don’t see it very often, but we do see it from time to time – someone this young committing an offence that’s this serious,” Haarbosch said of the 13 year old suspect.

As well, over the course of the investigation, that same 13-year-old suspect was also charged with robbery, wearing a disguise and possession of a weapon related to a swarming in Hintonburg near Spadina and Bayswater avenues on Oct. 21.

In that case, three suspects were said to have robbed a lone male victim at 9 p.m. as he walked along an alleyway. One male suspect pointed what ap-

Online Information Session Baseline/Woodroffe Stormwater Management Pond Municipal Class Environmental Assessment and Functional Design November 3, 2016 to November 21, 2016 ottawa.ca/baselinewoodroffepond The City of Ottawa has initiated a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) for a proposed Stormwater Management Pond at the northeast corner of Baseline Road and Woodroffe Avenue. A stormwater management pond was initially recommended in the Pinecrest Creek/Westboro Stormwater Management Retrofit Study (2011) and underwent further assessment in the Feasibility Study for a Surface Stormwater Management Facility at Baseline Road and Woodroffe Avenue (2015).

The proposed pond will provide treatment and flow control for runoff from some 435 hectares that currently drain uncontrolled to Pinecrest Creek.

The pond is being planned under Schedule B of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment and will identify a preferred alternative and functional design for the pond.

You are invited to an Online Information Session to review and comment on the existing conditions and pond alternatives. Please visit Ottawa.ca/baselinewoodroffepond and fill out the questionnaire by November 21, 2016. The study team will review all comments and respond to any concerns or questions before the Class EA report is completed.

peared to be a handgun at the victim, who was robbed of his wallet, phone and some groceries, Haarbosch said in an earlier statement.

A swarming the next night in Hintonburg may also be connected to this recent rash of robberies.

In that incident, a female was targeted by four suspects as she walked near Bayswater and Gladstone avenues on Oct. 22 around 11 p.m. One of the suspects had a knife and the victim’s cellphone and some cash were taken, said Haarbosch.

“At this point, we’re certainly exploring the possibility that second one (in Hintonburg) is also linked,” he said.

It’s becoming more common that weapons are being used in swarming-type robberies.

“It’s unfortunately something that we’re seeing more and more of these days, both handguns and knives,” said Haarbosch.

“It’s an intimidation thing – pure and simple.”

In the aftermath of those October crimes, the robbery unit urged people walking alone in the evening in that area to be extra vigilant. That message still stands, not only for residents in those areas recently plagued by swarmings, but elsewhere in the city given the ongoing nature of the investigation, said Haarbosch.

In fact, additional charges related to other swarmings may be laid against one or more of the four suspects who were taken into police custody in Herongate, he noted.

HEATHERINGTON

Police are linking two swarmings in Heatherington in which lone victims were targeted on Nov. 2 – the night before the Herongate spree.

In the first case, a victim was approached by two black males along Heatherington Road around 9:20 p.m. and the second victim was waiting at a bus stop along that same street when two black males approached around 9:35 p.m.

There have been 151 swarmings in Ottawa so far this year, on par with the number of swarmings in 2015 through the same time period.

Anyone with information can call the robbery squad at 613-236-1222, ext. 5116, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477.

City committee examines getting kids to school safely

BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

There are a lot of partners working to make sure Ottawa school children get to school safely, the city’s transportation committee heard Nov. 2.

Ottawa Public Health works with schools to get more students walking to and from school, a report by city staff says. A report by the health authority found that only one in five students reported walking to and from school.

So OPH has been working

with schools to promote walkability and walking school buses – scheduled group walks to school led by an adult.

OPH conducts assessments for schools identified as appropriate for walking. These walkability assessments identify issues that may be a barrier to walking and cycling in a school’s neighbourhood, the report reads.

Aside from OPH, the Ottawa Student Transportation Authority piloted a number of walking school buses at the beginning of the school year.

Staff began looking at the issue in May following a discussion of photo radar as a means to reduce speeding in school zones. Several councillors asked about speeding on streets on the students’ way to school, rather than just the road the school is on.

The report also documented opportunities and considerations to take into account when exploring the implementation of photo radar in the city.

The report released Nov. 2 outlined what’s out there to

help make sure kids are safe when they walk to school.

“It’s helpful to understand what the partnerships are and how they intersect with what we are trying to do as a city,”

said Somerset Coun. Catherine McKenney.

Staff will report back in the first quarter of 2017 on changing speed limits in some schools zones to 30 kilometres per hour.

“It’s a template we can use going forward,” transportation chair Keith Egli said of the Nov. 2 report.

“Now we have it all in one place.”

Despite the challenges of a growing and aging population, along with a record number of shootings and homicides for 2016, the Ottawa police budget will stick to a two per cent, or $8.9 million, increase.

The increase would bring the gross operating budget to $320.2 million.

The police services board tabled the budget on Nov. 7 – two days earlier than planned due to commitments from board members.

One such commitment was that of Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder, who plans to attend the opening of the Barrhaven Costco. It was Harder’s last meeting after six years.

Harder said she was honoured to have served alongside her colleagues, but cited the pressures from the planning committee workload as the reason for stepping aside to cre-

ate a place for Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley.

The board heard from chief Charles Bordeleau that policing is becoming more complex as a result of the aging population and the change in the nature of crime.

“The number of calls for service have stayed basically the same, but they’re more involved,” he said, pointing to a recent search for an elderly gentleman with dementia.

“That takes a lot of resources,” he said.

GUNS AND KNIVES

The other problem is the shift among the criminal element, Bordeleau said, adding it’s not acceptable to settle a dispute with a knife or a gun.

Bordeleau spoke following a weekend with the city’s 16th and 17th homicides.

The last of which, was at Piper’s Bar and Grill on St. Laurent Boulevard on Nov. 6.

Solomon Odekunle died after being stabbed in the neck with

a beer bottle.

“There’s no rhyme or reason to some of these crimes and they aren’t concentrated in one community,” Bordeleau said, addressing the challenges to the force’s overtime budget.

The community is also more hesitant to come forward, Bordeleau said.

“There were 20 or 30 people in the bar watching the altercation, but by the time we got there with the lights and sirens, everyone had taken off,” he said.

“Despite that, investigators were able to solve it in two days.”

But the community needs to come forward if they want to stop the people that commit these crimes, he said.

“I understand that people may be concerned about retaliation, but if we don’t catch the people committing these crimes, they will continue,” he said.

150 celebration costs Continued from page 28

Another stabbing occurred on Rideau and Nelson streets the same night as the board meeting. A 17-year-old boy was charged as a result.

The police force doubled their overtime budget for 2016 as a result of the increased crime, overspending by $2.5 million.

Despite that, Debra Frazer, director general of corporate services for the police, said the police force believes that their new frontline deployment will be more “flexible and nimble” to help deal with staffing needs.

Several councillors on the police services board asked chief Bordeleau if the planned 25 new hires would be enough to deal with the increase in violent crime.

Ottawa police will be changing their service delivery model in January, which the chief and other senior members say will help to address staffing issues.

For the time being, 25 officers, along with 25 officers that were freed up from front desk work

ing budget deliberations is the cost of policing the city’s celebrations for the country’s 150th birthday.

Bordeleau said the force has identified 10 major events, which will cost $1.5 million to police, but the force should recoup those costs from other levels of government or the organizers.

The problem is, the event list is constantly changing, and there’s no guarantee that other levels of government will pitch in.

“The city is aware that if we don’t recoup the costs, we could be in a deficit situation at the end of next year,” Frazer said.

The draft budget will represent $11 increase on the average homeowners property tax bill.

The forecast budget from 2018-2020 includes 2.7, 2.6 and 2.3 percent increases respectively.

The city will table the draft budget on Nov. 9. The board will hear public delegations on their portion on Nov. 28.

CANADA 150 The budget is slated for apThe big question mark dur- proval on Dec. 14.

within the force should be enough, Bordeleau said.

The hiring of 25 officers will cost $2.1 million, the report to the board says.

The force hired 25 officers this year and will be hiring 25 in 2018 – bringing that total to 100 new officers over three years.

“We will be in a better position to know if the hiring plan will be successful in 2018,” he said.

There’s a perception that the changes to the frontline deployment model will reduce community policing officers by 33 per cent, Knoxdale-Merivale Coun. Keith Egli said. Egli attended the board meeting to deliver letters from some of his community associations, as well as the Knoxdale-Merivale Community Association – which represents the community associations across the ward.

“There’s a feeling this will have a negative impact on policing,” Egli said.

Give A Jewel, Feed A School

Help us raise money for school breakfast programs in Nunavut.

REALIZING THE NEED Eva von Jagow, a student from Stittsville, was researching Nunavut for a school project when she came across the harsh reality of nutrition in our Far North.

She was shocked to see a photo of a jar of peanut butter costing $18.99 in a Nunavut supermarket! Eva quickly learned even with federal shipping subsidies, a head of cabbage can cost over $20. A three-litre container of orange juice is typically $9. In the winter months especially, fresh fruit and vegetables are exorbitantly priced and of poor quality. All this means that many Nunavut children start off their school day with poor nutrition. In Canada, a country that is hailed as having one of the highest standards of living in the world, no child should be going to school hungry or malnourished.

Drop-off until November 14, 2016

CRAVING CHANGE Eva decided she wanted to help, and she wanted to start by giving children a healthy start to the day, beginning with breakfast. She contacted the Breakfast Club of Canada and they agreed to direct any money she raised to specific Nunavut schools in need of a funded breakfast program.

Join Canada’s first subscription based investing service.

The idea for the All That Glam fundraiser itself came to her while helping her mom clean out her closet and jewelry box. Like many women, Eva’s mother, Karen, wore the same 10 to 20 pieces of jewelry and used the same five handbags most of the time. That’s when Eva thought, “Women donate their clothes all the time; why not their jewelry?” This realization sparked the idea to create a gently-used jewelry and handbag sale to raise money for Nunavut schools.

Nest Wealth eliminates the high fees than could be costing you up to 30% of your potential wealth.*

NOURISHING CORAL HARBOUR SCHOOL’S BREAKFAST PROGRAM The All That Glam Sale has become an annual event. For the 4th year running, the fundraiser will collect donated jewelry and handbags from the community and resell the pieces at a one-day sale to raise money needed to provide nourishment to children in Nunavut.

To date, All That Glam has donated over $65,000 to the Sakku School in Coral Harbour (with corporate fund matching) which wouldn’t have been possible without the support and generosity of the local community and our sponsors.

A heartfelt thank you to each and every one of you.

Quilting and crafts bring women together at Riverside Churches

BY ERIN MCCRACKEN erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Women chat as they secure colourful fabric swatches over the tops of jars of jams and jellies.

Elastic bands are slipped over the lids to hold the covers in place.

Before too long, the decorated jars are tucked back into boxes ready to be sold at the largest fundraising bazaar of the year held at the Riverside Churches in Riverside Park.

It’s been a productive Thursday morning, as it is every week.

In the room next door, an unfinished quilted blanket is stretched taut within a wooden frame, making it easier to handstitch the fabric.

“All we get from here is satisfaction and friendship,” said Joyce Pickard, an original mem-

ber of the group and an avid quilter.

“And relaxation,” added Riverside Park resident Rhoda Thexton, also a longtime member. “You sit still and you don’t have to run and do anything.

You enjoy what you’re doing.”

They are members of the Riverside United Church Quilting and Craft Group.

Though they have made significant headway today, there are still a few tasks left to do before their Christmas Bazaar on Nov. 19 where they will raise funds for the church and other charities.

Over the years, the group has helped Interval House, Breakfast for Children. They’ve bought sewing machines for Africa and donated lap quilts to women’s shelters and the Winchester District Memorial Hospital.

Though there are fewer members today, there has been a recent influx of newcomers.

“I love to be with these ladies,” said Marie-France Kolb, a St. Laurent-area resident who joined just over a month ago.

“They speak about health, what they do, what they cook.”

Many original members who faithfully attend the weekly gatherings remember when the Riverside United Church congregation first began meeting in 1962 at Brookfield High School, before the Riverside Churches – a space shared with the Anglican Church of the Resurrection – opened at 3191 Riverside Dr. in 1969.

The United Church Women held their first bazaar at the high school in 1965 and sold Halloween costumes and pumpkin tarts.

After the move, their first sale in the new space was in 1973.

But the UCW petered out after members grew tired of holding office, Pickard recalled. However, many missed the experience and began meeting informally when Pickard’s mother, Lottie Whitney, began to teach them how to quilt.

That marked the beginning of the quilting group. A craft group soon followed.

“And all of a sudden we had all this stuff and we didn’t know what to do with it so we had a bazaar,” Pickard said of the 1977 event.

The ecumenical groups con-

The Riverside United Church women are gearing up for their annual Christmas bazaar at the Riverside Churches on Nov. 19. tinue to create handcrafted and homemade goods each year: place mats, aprons, handbags, scarves, Christmas tree skirts and decorations, wreaths, knitted clothing, quilts of all sizes, baked goods, canned goods as well as china, silver, collectibles, books, figurines and jewelry.

The event has brought women together for years and runs like a well-oiled machine. Tables are set up the day before the sale.

Finishing touches and prices are added.

Five of the women (their average age is 82) recently spent two afternoons making 300 mince-

meat tarts to sell, translating into 14 quarts of minced meat, said Susan Kerr, an original member of the church who has continued attending services and the craft group even after she relocated to Riverside South 14 years ago.

“She says this every year,” said Riverside Park resident Susan Wade, who gives Tippett a ride to the Thursday gatherings.

“It’s very important when you get older that you remain part of the community,” said Tippett. “So my community is my church family. They’re very important to me.”

Wade used to attend the group with her mother, who was from England.

While six out of ten Ottawa drinkers are moderate or lowrisk, according to a report by Ottawa Public Health staff, there’s still more work to be done.

The aim of the work is to shift the culture to one of alcohol moderation, but right now four of ten people are still practicing risky drinking behaviours, said Jacqueline Roy, who works in the health promotion and disease prevention unit of OPH. The statistics show that 83 per cent of adults drink and 44 per cent of young adults binge drink.

Perhaps even more troubling, is that 47 per cent of grades seven to 12 students admit to drinking.

Aside from the direct health impacts, are the second-hand effects, Roy said.

“In any other context, I would be calling in the crisis unit. But when I talk about it in relation to alcohol, I am met with bewilderment and contempt.”

DR. ISRA LEVY

“The police deal with 4,000 alcohol-related offenses annually, so that’s a big burden,” said Chief Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Isra Levy.

The report also has emergency room information from the Ottawa Hospital. One of the more troubling statistics was that 90 per cent of sexual assaults involved alcohol.

“People need to stop seeing it as an individual issue, and start seeing it as a community issue,” Roy said.

Levy said with numbers like a death every three days, people should start paying more attention.

“In any other context, I

would be calling in the crisis unit,” he said.

“But when I talk about it in relation to alcohol, I am met with bewilderment and contempt.”

Roy said it’s going to take a generation to change society’s attitudes.

“Look at how long it took to change attitudes towards using seatbelts and smoking,” she said.

Board member Dr. Ahul Kapur said work needs to be done to de-normalize drinking and have bystanders more willing to step in when they see someone who appears to be under the influence.

Cecil gets his few minutes of fame with his toes

M

other thought that Miss Crosby, our teacher at the Northcote school, should be made a saint when she passed.

But that couldn’t happen, my sister Audrey said, because she wasn’t a Catholic.

That morning, as always, she was ready to read a verse from the Bible, have us sing God Save the King, and say a prayer, which she wrote herself.

She stood erect at her desk, wearing the same printed dress she wore every day, with a starched white collar and cuffs, which she changed every few days.

She favoured the Beatitudes, and had only been reading a couple minutes, paused to take a breath, and a loud cracking could be heard all over the school.

Cecil had done it again!

He had this talent of cracking his toes when

MARY COOK Memories he was wearing his gumrubbers, and when he wasn’t wearing stockings, which was usually the case.

The noise echoed in his gum-rubbers like a slap with an open hand on a 2-by-4.

Miss Crosby rolled her eyes skyward, but not a sound came out of her mouth. The whole room was silent.

‘I HEARD THAT’

“Cecil,” she said. And she sounded like she had just run all the way from the

Barr Line.

“Cecil, I heard that. In fact, they probably heard it at Briscoes General Store.

Stand up and apologize to the class.”

Tall and rail thin, Cecil unfolded himself from his seat. He said nothing.

Miss Crosby ordered him to the low stool that sat in the corner at the front of the room.

This is where anyone was sent who misbehaved, hadn’t done their homework, or generally tried Miss

Crosby’s patience.

Cecil folded himself onto the stool, and when he had settled down, his knees were under his chin, and his hands were resting on the floor.

He looked exactly like the big chimpanzee we saw when the circus came to the fairgrounds one time in Renfrew.

Well, it wasn’t long until everyone in the Northcote School was in hysterics.

Miss Crosby folded the Bible, flopped down on her chair behind her desk, and put her head down on her folded arms.

I thought she was crying, because her shoulders were shaking.

The Briscoe twins, who dressed alike, finished each other’s sentences and did everything together, put up their hands with one finger in the air, which meant a short trip to the outhouse.

“Please Miss,” Beatrice said

to get Miss Crosby’s attention. She raised her head from her folded arms, and she wasn’t crying, she was overcome with fits of laughter. It wasn’t the first time Cecil had cracked his toes at the Northcote School, but it was the first time Miss Crosby had sent him to the stool.

LEARN SOMETHING

Never one to miss an opportunity to give the school a chance to learn something, she ordered Cecil to take off his gum rubbers and show everyone how he was able to crack his toes.

Well, there he sat, folded on the stool, with his bare feet stretched out before him, and try as he might, he couldn’t muster up one crack!

We all sat in utter silence waiting. Nothing happened.

The morning was wearing on, and Miss Crosby wisely

decided to bring things back to order.

At recess outside, everyone gathered around Cecil like he was the mayor of Renfrew.

He loved being on centre stage and went on to explain this amazing feat.

The reason he couldn’t perform for Miss Crosby, he said, was because he could only crack his toes inside his gum rubbers.

And there he sat on the school steps, cracking his toes inside his gum rubbers, enjoying his few minutes of fame at the Northcote School, before Miss Crosby appeared at the door with the big brass bell.

Each year, on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, Canadians gather around cenotaphs, parks, community halls, workplaces, schools and homes to observe a moment of silence and to mark sacrifices that have come from war.

On Nov. 11 beginning at 10:20 a.m., the Royal Canadian Legion National Remembrance Day Ceremony at the National War Memorial in Ottawa will begin.

The Gov. Gen. David Johnston, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, the Speaker of the Senate of Canada George J. Furey, the Minister of Veterans Affairs Kent Hehr, Chief of the Defence Staff Gen. J.H. Vance, Dominion President of the Royal Canadian Legion David Flannigan and members of veterans organizations and diplomatic corps will place the first wreaths.

Remembrance Day is a day to remember much.

My dad a veteran himself started putting one Remembrance Day poppy each year in the frame of a picture he liked. A picture of four little girls singing carols.

It’s the top of a large 1921 Met Life calendar. I had to open and look, curiosity and discovery are a good thing. They had nice calendars then.

He bought it framed. My mom painted it gold, nice job, nice picture.

I think my dad liked it because he was from a family of five boys and he had three boys, no sisters, no daughters.

Most poppies in the frame have the black centre, a few have the green none have both the black

Everyone is a little different and we feel different some days, still they may be contributing, even to you in some way.

Remembrance Day is a day to remember people, not the conflicts between them.

The beauty of tolerance, acceptance, helping and loving will hopefully change Remembrance from conflicts and sadness to loving, peace and joy.

It’s nice we set aside one day to catch our attention and focus on what we should be feeling every day.

I have a beautiful picture, from a beautiful person I see and focus on every day.

and green, which was phased out in 1969. He started his collection later.

Every year since his passing I add one more poppy to that picture. It becomes more beautiful every year.

One more way to remember a beautiful person.

Remembrance Day is a day to remember much. Those that didn’t know you but did their best to help, those you love and loved and loved you and those you don’t know but should love and help.

If one of us was on this earth alone we would disappear. Without helping and loving we would be gone. Every person you see; too fast on the road, too slow in the line may be contributing some way through helping and loving.

Principal of Regina Street Public School, Robert James said the public is welcome to attend.

“Having it in the park, makes it a little more special – students are in the gym everyday and having the public attend only heightens the feeling of importance for students.”

Influenza is a pretty word for a not very pretty situation

list, because I don’t think I can handle drinking garlic soup all day long.

Cold season is disgusting.

And why do the effective

cold remedies have to taste so bad? Buckley’s, ginseng, raw garlic – at least we don’t have to worry about spreading the cold by kissing.

No one is coming near me with a 10-foot pole. www.theaccidentalfarmwife. blogspot.com dianafisher1@gmail.com

The Accidental Farmwife tea with ginseng and raw honey every night.

One night as I tucked in to sleep, I smelled something very strange wafting through the air. I could smell cooking. I got out of bed and padded down the stairs to see what the boys were up to in the kitchen. There was no one there. I went back upstairs, noticing the smell was growing stronger.

STRONG SMELL

It was a strong herbal, onion-y aroma – not unpleasant, but I didn’t want to sleep in it.

Opening my bedroom window for fresh air, I closed my door and went to sleep.

The next morning I passed Big Jerry in the hallway on his way to the bathroom. The smell of garlic followed him like a green cloud and seeped from his hair, his skin, his every pore.

“Jerry!” I laughed, startling him awake. “If you eat raw garlic like that you aren’t going to have to worry about the girls getting too close.”

He just blinked at me. Later

the boys explained to me that they eat copious amounts of raw garlic in China when they feel a cold coming on.

“We don’t want you to get sick,” they explained. I told them they were making me sick with the smell. I hid the raw garlic in the back of the beer fridge.

The next morning it was obvious they had found it.

The Farmer had to drive them to school with the windows down on the truck.

When the Farmer is sick – about once every five years – he coats a wool sock with Vic’s and wraps it around his neck.

This season he is using a neck warmer. He wears it all day when he’s out building his log cabin, and sleeps with it on at night.

Maureen at the Kemptville Restaurant says she protects herself against the flu-wielding public by taking raw ginseng all season long.

It comes in little vials and it’s really cheap and effective.

PERF E

’ve always thought the word ‘influenza’ was romantic. You imagine beautiful young maidens in long flowing dresses and tresses perishing of influenza and consumption.

Just heating up and wasting away, in a long ago fairy tale setting. That’s before I got the flu and held onto it for two solid weeks. It ain’t so pretty anymore.

They’re really pushing the flu shot again this year and so of course I got mine.

It was in my arm before I suddenly remembered that as soon as I had the shot last year, I got the flu.

This year it took nearly a week but it did eventually show up, as feared.

Luckily I was just transitioning to working from home again so I didn’t have to miss any time at the office.

But after a solid week of cold medicine, cough syrup and Vic’s Vap-o-Rub, I started to investigate more natural methods.

Which brings me back to the year we had two Chinese boys living with us.

The winter of 2014 was a particularly harsh one, and like nothing these boys from the seaside town of Suzhou had ever seen or experienced before.

When that first chill set in, they started looking around for some of their traditional herbal remedies.

The boys drank about six cups of dark Chinese herbal

Pot shops raided in citywide police crack down

BY BRIER DODGE brier.dodge@metroland.com

Ottawa police raided seven marijuana dispensaries and charged nine people on Nov. 3 and 4.

One of those dispensaries was CannaGreen on St. Joseph Boulevard, which shared a plaza with a Kumon and martial arts studios. It was raided on Nov. 4, after operating for almost two months in Orléans.

“I have no doubt that the strongest voices (in opposition) were some of the parents,” said Innes Coun.

Jody Mitic, who had CannaGreen within his ward.

Other locations raided included 290 Montreal Rd., 352 Preston St., 256 Bank St., 358 Rideau St., 293 St. Laurent Blvd., and 33 Roydon Place.

Police seized marijuana, hash, hash oil, THC concentrate, edibles

including cookies, baked goods and soft drinks, cash, and other evidence.

Charges laid were for possession for the purpose of trafficking and possession of proceeds of crime.

Mitic attended the last police services board meeting, where enforcement of marijuana dispensaries was discussed.

He said he’s relieved that the police have taken action against the illegally operating shops. The only way to legally buy marijuana is for an approved user to purchase from a Health Canada approved business and have it delivered by Canada Post.

“You can’t open your own corner store and start selling hooch,” Mitic said. “I’m for (marijuana) being legal and regulated and taxed, but we can’t have people running these socalled businesses when you don’t

know what they’re selling. I don’t know where it came from.”

Police said they are willing to investigate complaints about dispensaries operating illegally across the city, but each investigation launched required significant resources and time.

“We take community complaints regarding criminal activities seriously and have been conducting investigations on these locations for an extended period of time,” said Staff Sgt. Rick Carey in a media release.

“The reality is that each of these warrants requires a great deal of time and resources. We will continue to investigate dispensaries as complaints come forward.”

Mitic said he hopes this sends a message to landlords to think twice before they consider renting space to any more pot shops.

CannaGreen was one of six shops across the city raided on Nov. 4, with an additional shop being raided on Nov. 3. Nine people were charged.

Tom Everrett, a curator at the Canada Science and Technology Museum, holds a pair of chicken glasses circa-1940, one of many treasures that will be on display for the first time when the museum opens in November 2017.

BY ERIN MCCRACKEN

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Chicken eyeglasses exist, but unless you’re a chicken farmer, you’ll have to wait to visit the reimagined Canada Science and Technology Museum to get up close to a pair.

The specs are just one of many never-seen-before artifacts and exhibits that are being hinted at now, but will only be revealed when the doors to the national museum at 1867 St. Laurent Blvd. are opened next November following an $80.5-million overhaul.

For instance, tech worn by people, pets and barnyard animals will star in a wearable technology exhibit showcased in the brand new Technology in our Lives Gallery, which will show visitors how wearable technology and household consumption shape and benefit our lives.

“Even our pets have long used wearable tech,” Christine Tessier, the museum’s directorgeneral, said during a media tour of the museum construction site on Nov. 4.

The display will feature everything from fitness trackers to canine search and rescue gear to a 1940s pair of rosecoloured eyeglasses that can

be perched on a chicken’s beak.

“One of the problems farmers have when they’re raising chickens is they’ll preen each other’s feathers, but sometimes in that process the chickens will bleed if the feathers get pulled out wrong,” said curator Tom Everrett.

“When chickens see blood they go into this weird cannibalistic mode and they’ll start pecking the bleeding chicken to death,” he said of the enormous problem farmers face but which may have been a response that once benefitted chickens from a bygone age.

TINY GLASSES

Since the glasses tint everything red, the chickens don’t recognize blood. And because the glasses are hinged, the birds get a break from seeing red when they look down to peck at a snack, said Everrett.

The museum’s pair of glasses will be perched on a chicken-shaped statue, in and among other statues outfitted with wearable tech, offering visitors a unique educational experience.

“It’s a new acquisition,” Everrett said of the unique problem-solving shades.

There is still a little more

than a year left to wait to see the new addition, one of many coming to the museum, which closed in September 2014 following a host of structural problems.

Since then the 49-year-old building has been stripped down to its frame. The recent media tour revealed an exhibition hall, the exterior look of what will be the front entrance, a machine room and the train bay that is being built around four locomotives protected by some rather large tarps.

In addition to the trains, the museum’s Crazy Kitchen will also return.

All the displays will be moved into the building beginning in April, including the new household consumption exhibit, which will feature the evolution of the refrigerator.

During the tour, staff announced a new crowdsourcing campaign inviting Canadians to help shape that household exhibit by sharing photos of their fridges and the exterior of their homes on social media with the hashtags #HomeScape and #FridgeScape or emailing them to mymuseum2017@techno-science.ca.

“Refrigerators are really central pieces in our kitchens,” said assistant curator Emily Gann.

“How can we … tell this social story, the relationships people have with their domestic appliances and in this case a fridge?”

It’s a way for the museum to engage more Canadians, Gann said.

There are also many other firsts: the museum is partnering with the University of Ottawa to create Canada’s second living lab for early childhood research, and working with Montreal’s McGill University to include citizen science and genomics research in the new museum, Tessier said.

Ottawa South MPP’s co-sponsored Remembrance Week bill gets green light

BY ERIN MCCRACKEN erin.mccracken@metroland.com

A new bill that has passed with unanimous consent at Queen’s Park officially creates the annual Remembrance Week for the seven days leading up to Nov. 11.

“It is a reflection of what is happening in communities, and it’s to acknowledge that and to promote that,” said Ottawa South Liberal MPP John Fraser, who co-sponsored the new legislation with ParkdaleHigh Park NDP MPP Cheri DiNovo and SimcoeGrey PC MPP Jim Wilson, who introduced the bill on Oct. 27.

The Remembrance Week Act legislation received the green light on Nov. 2 with the support of all three parties. Bill 55 proclaims Nov. 5 to 11 as Remembrance Week in Ontario, expanding the scope of the Remembrance Day Observance Act, which came into effect in 1977.

“It continues to recognize Remembrance Day as a unique day inside the legislation,” Fraser told Metroland Media from Toronto. “It just adds onto it a recognition that we need to acknowledge and establish Remembrance Week.”

It also highlights the events that are held around the province in the week leading up to Nov. 11 services and recognizes “the contributions and sacrifices that people have made and continue to make,” Fraser said. “That is important to remember.”

Many people have connections to those who have served or currently serve the country, he added.

Fraser, an Alta Vista resident, said his paternal grandfather served in the Canadian military during the Second World War as a mechanic, and so did his father-in-law. As well, his mother-in-law’s brother enlisted under age in the military and died during the Battle of Dieppe during the Second World War. “They were the closest in age so she remembers him really well,” Fraser said of his mother-in-law. “That’s something she’s never forgotten.”

The importance of remembering the sacrifices made by Canada’s veterans and marking Nov. 11 will always be key, though Fraser acknowledged, “It takes effort and work to make sure that we continue to do it.

“We can’t just take it for granted.”
