Crowd tells NCC: hands off farm BY MELISSA MURRAY mmurray@metroland.com

Hands off the Central Experimental Farm – that was the message heard loud and clear at the public consultation on 12 potential sites for the Ottawa Hospital’s new Civic campus hosted by the National Capital Commission on Sept. 22 at the Canadian War Museum. Among the more than

400 people in attendance for the evening presentation and question and answer period were those wearing pins made from Mason jar lids with Save CEF written in black marker. Four of the 12 potential sites are on the Central Experimental Farm, and most participants spoke against that possibility. See NCC, page 12

Gates blocking access to the Prince of Wales Bridge were damaged less than 24 hours after city crews installed them. Since then private security has been posted nearby. When news of the city’s plan to erect gates at the entrances to the Prince of Wales Bridge came to light this summer, residents opposed the initial price tag of $250,000, and protested barring access to the bridge. The city was contacted by Transport Canada to say it was not properly securing the bridge. To address those concerns, the city has spent about $46,000 on chain-link fences, new signs and repairs, which will be paid for through the initial budget, according to Carina Duclos, a city manager of municipal design and construction. Aileen Duncan, an organizer

of the Ottawa Rail Bridge project and a recent picnic on the bridge, said she was disappointed to see it fenced off and the city move so quickly to bar access. “It seems pre-emptive,” she said in a recent interview. She’s hoping the gates will be sufficient and the city won’t have to install a more permanent and secure fence, wasting more city funds. Duncan had mixed feelings about the vandalized fence, noting while it shows the community’s commitment to keeping access open, it could also increase the cost and force the city to take more extreme measures. Initial cost estimates to bar access to the Prince of Wales Bridge, located west of LeBreton Flats, was in the range of $250,000. “I’m pleased they reduced the original budget,” she said. See MAKING, page 3

Making bridge accessible would cost the city millions: Leiper

Continued from page 2

With the question of liability out of the way, Duncan is hoping the city will move forward with a plan for how the bridge can be used in the future. She said if the city continues with its plan to use the bridge for commuter rail, following Stage 2 of LRT, she doesn’t want to see it closed off, unused for the next decade. Instead, she’s working with an architect to get renderings of the bridge to determine what repairs are needed now and how the bridge can be used for cyclists and pedestrians in the meantime. But Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper is siding with Mayor Jim Watson, saying it doesn’t make sense to sink money into the bridge when it will be a wasted investment later down the line

when the bridge is revamped as a rail connection between Ottawa and Gatineau. “I think the mayor’s view on this is very legitimate,” Leiper said. “Ideally the solution to people wanting to go on the bridge is to let them go on the bridge, but it is money that the city doesn’t have right now.” He hopes when plans move forward for the bridge as a rail link, it will include pedestrian and cycling infrastructure. “Let’s be aspirational for that, but it is off in the future.” In the meantime, the city has to fulfill its legal obligation to make sure people are not trespassing on the bridge. While there are calls to make the bridge safe in the meantime, he said it won’t cost just a few hundred thousand dollars for guard-

rails and wood decking over the tracks. It would take millions to make it fully accessible, with lighting. He said when he talked to staff about a year ago, he was told the bridge also needs structural repairs. Staff have estimated it would cost $10.5 million to make the bridge a safe cycling and pedestrian route and $20 to $40 million for rail. With the recent vandalism, Leiper said recurring repairs will start to add up and impact the city’s ability to pay for other things. He warned if the city’s patience runs out, residents face paying for what he called a “more substantial and impenetrable barrier.” “Those are resources most taxpayers would agree are better put towards any number of other priorities in the city,” he said.

Ottawa police investigate two west-end homicides BY MELISSA MURRAY mmurray@metroland.com

Police continue to investigate after two targeted shootings in the city’s west end over the weekend. Police received reports of gunshots on Sept. 24 around 2 a.m. on Elmira Drive, where they found Jacob Thompson, 40, dead at the scene.

Then on Sept. 25 at 6 a.m., police again received reports of multiple gunshots fired on Shillington Avenue. Abdi Jama, 26, was later pronounced dead in hospital. Paramedics treated Jama for multiple gunshot wounds on scene before he was transported to the trauma centre at hospital in critical condition.

“They’re both not related at all,” said Const. Chuck Benoit, who added the service’s major crimes unit has confirmed both shootings were targeted. Benoit said police continue to investigate both homicides and no one has been arrested for the shootings. Benoit confirmed Jama was known to police. The mayor comment-

ed on the two shootings on Sept. 26. “I’m deeply concerned,” he said, adding the city needs to ensure police have the resources to solve crimes in the city. He said the city added 25 officers this year and will add another 25 more next year. Watson added it’s important to find the culprits and get them off the street. He also encouraged people to report any information they might have. “They are our eyes and ears,” Watson said. The two shootings are the city’s 47th and 48th this year. Anyone with information is asked to contact the police’s major crime unit, at 613-236-1222, ext. 5493. Anonymous tips can be submitted by calling Crime Stoppers toll-free at 1-800222-8477(TIPS).

Museum of Nature to showcase wonders of the North BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

The new Canadian arctic gallery to open at the Canadian Museum of Nature next summer will have everything from dinosaur bones to live fish. The exhibit will be permanent and will be named after extreme weather clothing outfitter Canada Goose for the first 10 years, thanks to a $1.5 million sponsorship deal. It won’t just be icicles and polar bears, said Alisa Barry, vice-president of experience and engagement at the Canadian Museum of Nature. “We are actually reaching out to northern communities to curate their own perspectives of current issues, contemporary issues, concepts of the environment, and put that in the gallery,” she said. The whole arctic exhibition will be approximately 743 square-metres. The exhibition space will be housed on the top floor of the museum and feature an interactive display of the Northern Lights. It will also show off the geography and address the climate change that affects the arctic. The space dedicated to showcasing local arctic communities will be 55 squaremetres, Barry said. Natan Obed, president of ITK, the national representational organization for Inuit in Canada, said most people don’t know about Inuit lifestyles. “There’s a perception that

we are nomadic, so we have no roots, but it was seasonal,” he said. “I know where I come from.” Obed said he’s excited that Inuit people will have a part in showcasing their culture, their environment and their land to the world. There are 60,000 Inuit people spread across a landmass that equals 35 per cent of Canada, Obed said. The Kitikmeot Heritage Society, from Victoria Island in Nunavut, will put the first northern-crafted exhibit together. Barry said the museum is also partnering with the Vancouver Aquarium Marine Science Centre, which will be providing two aquaria, one including Arctic Cod, that will give visitors a sneak peek into the arctic’s marine life. Mark Graham, vice-pres-

ident of research and collections for the museum, said there will be a climate zone that will stand “some people’s perceptions on their head.” Ottawa South MP David McGuinty said museums serve an integral role in preserving history and culture. “When a museum gets it right, it helps us understand the world around us in a way that’s engaging, exciting and fun,” he said.

Kieran Shepherd, the curator for the arctic exhibit, shows off what he believes to be a fossil from the bone of a duckbilled dinorsaur. The fossil shows that not only did dinosaurs roam the Canadian arctic, but they may have bred there. JENNIFER MCINTOSH/ METROLAND

OPINION

Connected to your community

Captain a Canadian, eh!

outh of the border they say things are â&#x20AC;&#x153;as American as apple pie.â&#x20AC;? They can keep the fruit. Up here weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re â&#x20AC;&#x153;as Canadian as hockey.â&#x20AC;? And our passion for the game â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the national identity some would say â&#x20AC;&#x201C; makes it so very fitting that former Ottawa Senators captain Daniel Alfredsson became a Canadian citizen last week. Swedish by birth, Alfredsson has spent roughly half of his 43 years in this country. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the physical embodiment of hockey for a generation of fans in this city. Alfredsson was always a hard worker, never taking a shift off. Even after the wear and tear on his body forced retirement upon him, he returned to work in the front office of the Ottawa Senators. The future hall-of-famer will see his No. 11 jersey lifted to the rafters of the Canadian Tire Centre this year; a further

reminder that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part of our collective hockey history. Alfredssonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife, Bibbi, also became a citizen at the same ceremony in Toronto, while their kids, who were born here, were already dual citizens. Alfie, as he is known so affectionally here, and Bibbi, received a great welcome as new citizens. NHL commissioner Gary Bettman called Alfredsson the â&#x20AC;&#x153;consummate ambassador for the game,â&#x20AC;? and the fans in Ottawa â&#x20AC;&#x201C; where we host plenty of ambassadors â&#x20AC;&#x201C; no doubt agree. Thanks are hereby sent out to Alfredsson and his family for being part of this city for so many years â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and for many more years to come. And a big thank you â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or â&#x20AC;&#x153;tackâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to Sweden for sharing him with all of us for so many years, and now sharing him with us as citizens of our hockey-loving nations.

Chateau reno not necessarily bad

tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not an easy thing being Ottawa. With our reputation for stodginess, we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t oppose any innovation, no matter how bizarre, without being labelled dull. On the other hand, we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t try anything really innovative without being opposed by people who are â&#x20AC;Ś well, stodgy. That may be all the context you need to follow the current discussion over proposed renovations to the ChĂ˘teau Laurier. The additions to the hotel, as shown in media coverage, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fit with many peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s idea of what a ChĂ˘teau Laurier should look like. Those people have howled, frightening various elected officials who at first didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think the additions looked so bad. Now they do. But there has since come a

On the other side, the side of those who put up the structures that we argue about, the anticipation of a hostile reaction can produce unfortunate results. We get modern buildings that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look particularly modern. They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t offend, they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t inspire. Most of downtown Ottawa is like that.

How do we resolve this? We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to have our tastes dictated from above by people who think they know whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best for us. On the other hand, we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want our artists, our architects to be timid and boring because they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to offend anybody. Where that puts us on the ChĂ˘teau Laurier is anybodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s guess. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a safe bet that the more consultation and the more reviewing goes on the less interesting the building is going to be. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a safe bet that many people would prefer it to be that way. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tempting to say: just go for it. Not everyone liked the National

OPINION

Connected to your community

Love and empathy always in style M any years ago, when I was 16, I spent a summer working in England at a residential home for the elderly. It wasn’t my first choice; but something I fell into for two months. I was a care assistant, comparable to an assistant personal support worker in Ontario’s modern terms. I was responsible for helping residents dress, serving breakfast, assisting with bathing and sponge bathing. The only thing I wasn’t allowed to do was help people with toileting. All the residents had some form of dementia. SCARED AT FIRST

As I said, it wasn’t my choice of job. I was scared at first; bathing old men and women was an eye-opener for me. But overall, it was fulfilling. I became friends with the residents, who talked to me about their families. Sometimes they got the details muddled in the photos. Often they couldn’t remember my name. One woman could remember my country of origin, however, and called me “Canada, darling” for the entire summer. At the end of my time there, she gave me the gift of a souvenir shot glass she’d once purchased on a trip to Ottawa. At the time, I didn’t live in Ottawa and had never even visited. I was living in a tiny village with my mother. Evenings were dull and, despite my best efforts, hanging out at the pub, joining a local church youth group, I wasn’t there long enough to make friends my own age. So I poured my extroverted

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse

energy into my morning shifts at the residential home, conversing with the elderly residents, hugging people, empathizing with the woman who couldn’t talk but easily expressed pain during routine sponge baths given roughly by an experienced carer, on a body covered with bruises from falls she’d had on consecutive nights. One time, against the policy of the residence, I was tasked with doing her sponge bath on my own. I was very gentle with her as I frequently watched her eyes for signs of discomfort. Although she couldn’t respond with words, I could tell she was grateful for a young girl, for once not in a rush, who talked to her like a human being and took her pain seriously. I cried when I left my shift that day. Over the past number of years, I haven’t had – nor have I sought out – experiences like this. But as my elders begin to age, some more rapidly than others, I find myself drawn to their side, wanting them to feel, beyond anything else, that I love them. LAST WASH

I washed one woman’s hair for the final time before the chemotherapy would render the activity unnecessary. I helped another in the toilet, in pain, frail and vomiting in the emergency room.

L’Arche founder Jean Vanier has dedicated his life to living in community with adults with intellectual disabilities. Vanier’s theory is that love is a basic human need. His philosophy on love and life runs deep for me. I found myself reflecting on it after a visit with another older woman relative of mine recently, who has been bounced around from hospital to institution for compounding health problems associated with age. As I engaged in easy conversation with her, pushing her wheelchair in the sun, admiring local dogs and water rats in the lake, assisting her on the toilet, I realized just how deeply this time nourished my soul. Mostly, she has a sharp mind and offers perspective that I can’t get anywhere else. Regardless of how intellectual she is in the moment – sometimes she’s more dependent than others – she gives me the opportunity to understand the human condition and to dem-

onstrate empathy. When she’s in pain, my eyes become filled with tears. It’s like the pain is my own. Sometimes we even sit in silence as I rub her shoulder or hold her hand. Over the last few months, these moments have given me an intimate connection to her that is unparalleled in my life. After a recent five days together, I realized she was the only person that I could discuss a shameful part of my own life with – we cried together and held hands. And I felt the broken parts of me being knitted back together in one tiny corner. “I am struck by how sharing our weakness and difficulties is more nourishing to others than shar-

ing our qualities and successes,” wrote Vanier in Community and Growth. But it is also nourishing to ourselves. It may seem a foreign concept if you haven’t delved this deep; if you haven’t loved a person when she is weak or unable to do things; offering another dignity in moments of perceived indignity. Love is not for good times, alone; in fact, the deeper love is when we can put our emotions, vulnerabilities and brokenness on the table for another to see, and he gathers them in his arms and wraps them in a genuine hug. This is the sharing of our humanity.

Notice of Completion of Transit Project Assessment Process Confederation Line West Light Rail Transit Extension – City of Ottawa The City of Ottawa has completed an Environmental Project Report (EPR) in accordance with Ontario Regulation 231/08 for the Western Extension of the Confederation Line Light Rail Transit Environmental Assessment study.

The Project The City of Ottawa has developed a plan to extend and expand the City’s existing Light Rail Transit Network. Specifically the plan includes extending the future Confederation Line further west from Tunney’s Pasture Station to Bayshore and Baseline Stations, as well as a developing a Maintenance and Storage Facility in the Nepean-Woodroffe corridor, south of Norice Avenue. The purpose of this project is to provide a higher level of transit service to growing communities in the west and southwest of the city, a need identified in the City of Ottawa’s 2013 Transportation Master Plan. The Plan will add 13 kilometres of rail and 10 LRT stations to the City’s overall transit network at Westboro, Dominion, Cleary, New Orchard, Lincoln Fields, Iris, Baseline, Queensview, Pinecrest, and Bayshore. The plan will also connect directly to the West Transitway and the Southwest Transitway to facilitate connections to the communities of Kanata and Barrhaven. Preliminary engineering review has resulted in design refinements to the alignment along Richmond Road and Byron Linear Park, Lincoln Fields Station, Iris Station, and Bayshore Station. These changes have no significant additional environmental impact, reduce implementation costs, improve construction staging conditions, improve transit user experience, and have been incorporated into the EPR.

The Process The environmental impact of this transit project was assessed and an EPR prepared according to the Transit Project Assessment Process as prescribed in Ontario Regulation 231/08, Transit Projects and Greater Toronto Transportation Authority Undertakings. The EPR documents the entire study process, including a description of the planned project, its anticipated environmental impacts, and the project’s consultation program. The EPR for the Confederation Line West LRT Extension will be available for a 30-day public review period starting September 29, 2016. Please note that the Draft EPR has been available for public review during the 120 day Notice of Commencement phase, which began on June 2, 2016. The final EPR is available at the locations noted below during their regular business hours.

Police arrest two men in Kijiji sale robberies Suspects arrested in Nepean after robbing two people in one night Staff

Police have arrested two men in connection with recent robberies that started with the sale of cell phones through Kijiji, an online classified advertising service. On Sept. 19 at 8:40 p.m., the first victim met two men on Gallantry Way in Stittsville in order to sell a cell phone advertised on Kijiji. After the two suspects arrived in a vehicle, the victim met them at the curbside and handed the phone to the passenger so he could inspect it. At that point, the suspects drove off with the phone, dragging the victim for a short distance. The victim sustained minor injuries, was treated in hospital and has since been released. The same night, around 9:30 p.m., a second male victim met two suspects in a parking lot on Crestway Drive near Standherd Drive to sell a cell phone. Again, the meeting was arranged using Kijiji. One suspect exited the vehicle to inspect the phone and assaulted the victim with a knife. The victim sustained a minor injury and the suspects

then fled the scene. The victim was able to describe the vehicle – a white Audi A4 with Quebec licence plates – to police, and a short time later, a patrol officer stopped the vehicle on Longfields Drive and took the two suspects into custody without incident. Police charged the suspects, a 21-year-old man from Gatineau and a 21-yearold man from Ottawa, with two counts each of robbery and conspiracy to commit an indictable offence, and one weapons charge. The suspect from Gatineau, who drove the vehicle, has also been charged with dangerous operation of a vehicle causing bodily harm and failure to remain at the scene of an accident. Both suspects are scheduled to appear in court on Sept. 20. Investigators are concerned that there may be additional victims, and ask anyone with information about the robbery to call the robbery unit at 613-236-1222, ext. 5116.

ies, police suggest the following safety tips for people who use online classified sales services to arrange sales, meetings and transactions: • When buying or selling, you should meet in person to thoroughly inspect the product before exchanging funds. Meet in a public place with many people around; ideally one that is under video surveillance. • Attend with a second person, and consider leaving your item or cash in a vehicle or with the other person as you assess the credibility of the other party. • Sellers should always arrange to speak with the potential buyer over the phone ahead of the meet up. If something seems suspicious, walk away. • It’s up to the seller to choose the location. The buyer should never dictate the terms. At the meeting, write down the licence plate number of any vehicle the other person arrives in. Should you become the victim of a similar robbery, police recommend these steps: • Do not resist your attackers – they may be armed and this could lead to serious injury or death. • Try and memorize their faces, clothing and licence plates if they leave in vehicles. • Report the incident to police as soon as possible.

NCC received information about farm research Continued from page 1

In favour was David McDonald, who lives just behind the existing Civic campus. He recommended the hospital be placed across Carling Avenue from the current hospital on Central Experimental Farm land. He said he’s recently seen too much of the inside of the hospital. “When I look south and see a cornfield, I just have a hard time remembering the last time a cornfield saved my life.” But several speakers took exception to McDonald’s characterization of the experimental farm as just a cornfield. Bob McClelland, from Cantley, Que., wondered how the NCC will value the research field through the site review process. “Please stop calling the Central Experimental Farm agriculture land. It’s research land, this is science, this is an outdoor lab,” he said to loud

applause, noting research on the farm has contributed to a Nobel Prize. “It’s not just a cornfield, you wouldn’t call the heart institute just a brick building.” NCC staff noted they have received a lot of information about the work and research done on the farm over the summer, including some of the long-term projects on climate change. Katie Ward, from West Carleton, stood among more than 20 people who lined up at microphones to ask questions, wearing a bright blue shirt that read Farming is Public Service. “Nobody is disputing the need for a new Civic hospital … but we need to make sure that this research that supports our farmers providing food that is going to be in that hospital cafeteria gets preserved.” Following several comments and questions from participants urging the NCC to look at

He said the evaluation committee wants to hear which criteria are important to people to help them

Online survey open until Oct. 6 Continued from page 12

“We’ve got the farm thing,” said Mark Kristmanson, CEO of the NCC nearing the end of the evening, urging participants to address other issues. “We have to get it right; it does have life or death consequences later on.” When a comment came about what the broader public would think if it knew the NCC was giving away federal land for an Ontario hospital, Kristmanson had a reply for participants. “We’re asking you what you think should happen through an evidence-based process, not a passion-based one,” Kristmanson said. On that note, Lianne Dwyer of Dunrobin, who sits on the board of the Agricultural Institute of Canada, wasn’t confident about the NCC’s process, saying it’s a complicated task to have completed by the end of November. “You say you want evidence-based … but I don’t see the timeframe, and it makes me nervous,” she said. “This may not be as legitimate a process as I’d like it to be.” Participants in the consultation also expressed the need for the new hospital to be accessible by public transit and questioned the need for 3,300 parking spaces. The online consultation is open until Oct. 6 and the NCC will receive a presentation on the site review process on Nov. 23, before forwarding a recommendation to the Minister of Canadian Heritage.

Romeo and Juliet Redux on stage at the Gladstone Oct. 6-15 BY MELISSA MURRAY mmurray@metroland.com

A local theatre group is reimagining a classic Shakespearean tragedy by reducing the show to just four actors and 90 minutes. Beginning Oct. 6, and running until Oct. 15, is Romeo and Juliet Redux, presented by Plosive Productions and directed by David Whiteley at the Gladstone. “Instead of this broad, long, epic, massive thing that Shakespeare gives us, it’s this personal immediate encounter between four very passionate people,” said Whiteley. The show features local actors David da Costa, Lawrence Evenchick, Robin Hudge and Mekdes Teshome, with soundscapes by the PepTides’ Scottie Irving. Teshome plays Juliet and da Costa will play Romeo in the production. The other two actors, Hudge and Evenchick play many of the

play’s other characters, and sometimes all at once. Whiteley calls it “dream logic.” “It’s not the rational waking world logic,” he said. The two actors play different sides: Evenchick is the embodiment of all of the lovers’ allies, although his efforts often get them into more trouble. Hudge plays the characters who oppose Romeo and Juliet’s relationship and in a twist, is in love with Romeo as well. Hudge explains it as being brand new characters made up of all of the originals. “It’s a challenge,” she said, adding the motives of the characters change on a dime. But there’s a line in the show that she thinks sums it up: Still-waking sleep, that is not what it is. “It’s a different world of shifting reality,” she said. Contributing to that feeling of a dreamlike state is the set, which is like a large

light box with draping fabric like a tent, Whiteley said. Even the audience is “trapped in this dream or this nightmare,” he said. This isn’t your typical show and when the curtains rise, Whiteley doesn’t see people standing around in the lobby chatting about the take on some of the characters. “Coming out of that will DAVID WHITELEY/SUBMITTED be more like coming off a roller-coaster than coming Lawrence Evenchick, David da Costa, Mekdes Teshome and Robin Hodge will take the out of a conventional play. stage in Romeo and Juliet Redux at the Gladstone theatre from Oct. 6-15.

Ridership up: OC Transpo top brass cautiously optimistic BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

OC Transpo’s top boss John Manconi says ridership has stabilized, despite the doom and gloom about riders opting to drive because of LRT construction. A report to the city’s transit commission on Sept. 21 puts rider levels up by about one per cent this year compared to last year. Pat Scrimgeour, OC Transpo’s assistant general manager of customer systems and planning, said while the numbers fluctuate, it does seem the levels have stabilized.

“Some months are up, some months are slightly down, but it does seem the downward trend has tapered off,” he said. OC Transpo is on the road to a $3.3 million surplus by the end of the year, much better than the $8-million deficit at the same time last year, said commissioner François Malo. The surplus is coming, despite a dip in fare revenues. The dip can be largely blamed on the flexibility of fare options afforded to passengers thanks to the Presto payment system, Scrimgeour said. “We are selling more monthly

passes and less single-ride fares,” Scrimgeour said, adding the monthly passes mean the amount per rider is lower than originally budgeted. Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson said the difference in OC Transpo projections and reality was concerning. “Staff is squeezing, but we already budgeted conservatively,” she said. The revenue shortfall was $4.2 million. A slump in the condo market and some kinks in the agreement around incremental service to the Canadian Tire Centre are also fac-

tors affecting the books. NICKEL AND DIMES

Manconi credited the surplus to managers who were watching every penny. “Service trumped everything,” Manconi said. Meanwhile there were hiring freezes and a halt on any discretionary spending. “Just like your household budget, when the revenue’s down, you have to reduce your spending,” he said, adding every vacancy came across his desk before it was filled. “There were a lot of noes,” he

said. Manconi said on any given day there could be 100 vacancies. METROLINX

One question mark in the city’s budgetary plans is the contract with Metrolinx, the provincial corporation, which is set to expire before the end of October. Manconi stayed positive about the negotiations. “Ottawa has a unique situation and I think they are understanding that Ottawa has some issues other municipalities aren’t dealing with,” Manconi said, adding other than the Toronto Transit Commission, Ottawa will be the only one with fare gates.

G l o u c e s t e r - S o u t h g at e Coun. Diane Deans said she’s made peace with the fact that O-Trains won’t arrive every eight minutes – but she’d like riders to know when they’re leaving. Deans said she hears from a lot of commuters who sprint to catch a train and then end up cooling their heels for another 10 minutes.

The O-Train line was expanded with passing tracks last year, which allows four trains to run at a time – but the trains have to wait at Greenboro or Bayview before heading out. Initially council was promised trains would run every eight minutes, but OC Transpo GM John Manconi has said at previous transit commission meetings that, without a double track on the whole length of the system, trains aren’t likely to reach that threshold. The issue is “an ongoing bugaboo” for Deans. “The schedules aren’t consistent, which makes it difficult for people to plan their commutes,” she said. Deans said city staff are planning to purchase a realtime departure system for the future Confederation Line in 2018, and argued it should be put in place sooner on the current O-Train line, which will be know as the Trillium Line

in two year’s time. Manconi said people get too hung up on the timing. “People are waiting a maximum of five minutes, and I think that’s pretty good,” he said. But the five-minute wait time alludes to waiting on the platform, and while it’s nice that people get to travel in a climate-controlled train, that doesn’t really deal with the commute problem, Deans said. Manconi said it is possible to put in a real-time departure display for O-Trains sooner than 2018, but staff have to wait until the Rideau Transit Group procures the system they want to use for the Confederation line – so the two systems are similar. Manconi wouldn’t commit to a timeline for implementation, but promised to keep Deans in the loop. “Get on with it, because we need that system,” she said.

‘We all trained really hard and made a lot of sacrifices to get there.’ CHANTAL BEAUCHESNE TEAM CANADA ATHLETE

“But hearing the stadium roar and shake because of the Canadian fans was worth it. I will remember that until the day I die.” Beauchesne, who lost her leg after a motorcycle accident in 2009, credited sport with helping her regain her

life. “At first I was kind of lost, I couldn’t work and I didn’t really know what to do with myself,” said Beauchesne, who trained for seven years to get to the Paralympics. Team Canada placed 14th overall for medals and for gold medals – handily beating the goal of making the top 16 countries at the Games. “We’ve watched them train and then compete on the world stage,” said Monique Giroux, vice-president of marketing and sponsorships for CIBC. The Canadian team included 162 athletes who participated in 19 sports. They brought home an impressive 29 medals – eight gold, 10 silver and 11 bronze. CIBC plans to host seven homecoming events nationwide, Giroux said. “They’ve given the very best of themselves to sport,” she said of honouring the athletes.

City to kick off 2017 with a spark BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

One epic walk Sharon Kingston (left) from Cornwall and CarolAnn Reid-St. Amour from Carlingwood stop along Albert Street during the Epic Walk on Sept. 24. The Epic Walk saw participants walk from the Accora Centre down the Ottawa River Pathway to Westboro, east to city hall, and then south to the finish line at the Cancer Survivors Park. The 28 kilometre walk is done annually in support of the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation.

The city announced its own version of the eternal flame to bring in 2017. Guy Laflamme, the executive director for the Ottawa 2017 Bureau, said he’s amazed how quickly the idea came together. The installation, to be put in front of the memorial gardens at city hall on Dec. 31, has been dubbed a cauldron. The sculpture is a maple leaf and is meant to depict the Ottawa 2017 logo. The flame will burn for the entirety of 2017. The project is also a partnership between the city, Enbridge and natural gas companies from across the country. The sparking of this centrepiece will cue hundreds of Ottawa-area students to form a human chain, connecting young people from diverse backgrounds and weaving

Guy Laflamme executive director of the Ottawa 2017 Bureau (left), Monique Giroux, marketing vice-president with CIBC and Mayor Jim Watson take a look at the design for a cauldron that will stand in front of the memorial gardens starting Dec. 31. The design was unveiled on Sept. 22. a line of youthful optimism through downtown Ottawa streets. “We’re excited to mark the beginning of Canada’s 150th birthday celebrations

in Ottawa with an energizing and momentum-building New Year’s Eve event that involves the future leaders of our city,” said Mayor Jim Watson. “The partnership

between Ottawa 2017, Enbridge and other Canadian natural gas companies will enable the creation of an impressive cauldron that will burn brightly on December 31st and become a lasting symbol throughout the year.” Once 2017 is complete the flame will be relit for special occasions. “We are just over 100 days away from the first event of the Ottawa 2017 celebrations and we’re counting down to the start of a moving and monumental year in the nation’s capital,” Laflamme said. “As our country rings in 2017, we felt it important to have a visual symbol of the celebrations, where people can gather and take memorable photos on New Year’s Eve and throughout the year. We’re thrilled that Enbridge and other Canadian natural gas companies are partnering with us to build excitement and enhance the celebrations.”

Students to be “front and centre” for Ottawa 2017 celebrations: Watson Megan DeLaire mdelaire@metroland.com

Ottawa 2017 celebration organizers want to get students from across the national capital involved with the country’s 150th birthday party, and on Sept. 20, they shared their plans. Mayor Jim Watson told a crowd gathered for the announcement at Lansdowne Park that the Ottawa 2017 Bureau will partner with the city’s four local school boards to create youth-inspired programming for the year-long celebration. “We want to thank the four school boards for their tremendous support of the 2017 celebrations,” Watson said. “We started meeting with school board officials several months ago because we wanted to make sure that students were front and centre of the celebrations as Canada turns 150 years old.” Watson was joined for the announcement by students and teachers from the city’s four boards, city council members, Ottawa 2017 Bureau executive director Guy Laflamme, and representatives of

CIBC, the Ottawa Local Immigration Partnership, the Ottawa Public Library and Experiences Canada. In a display of artistic flair, students from each of the four boards – under the guidance of artist-mentors from House of Paint – were on hand to decorate a wall bordering the Lansdowne Park playground with Ottawa 2017-themed chalk murals before the announcement. “It takes a lot of people, a lot of collaboration and co-operation to put on a celebration one year in the making,” Watson said. Through the partnership, Watson said, the Ottawa 2017 Bureau and the city’s four school boards will work together to: • Recruit local schools to pair with some of the 150 exchange groups Experiences Canada – an organization that arranges educational exchanges – will register across the country in 2017 • Gather and share immigration stories with help from the Ottawa Local Immigration Partnership • Launch a poetry contest in partnership with the Ottawa Public Library during National Poetry

Month in April • Encourage students to write postcards to family and friends across Canada, inviting them to visit Ottawa for the celebrations • Recruit students to volunteer at Ottawa 2017 activities • Have classes “adopt” a country, study its culture and traditions, then visit that country’s Ottawa Welcomes the World showcase at Lansdowne Park “We are really looking forward to our partnership, and working with Ottawa students to create an incredible celebration for the 150th,” Laflamme said at the event. “We are celebrating youthfulness, we are celebrating future talents.” Later in the week, on Sept. 22, the city announced its plan to install a five-metre-high natural gas cauldron in Marion Dewar Plaza, in front of city hall. The cauldron – an artistic adaption of the Ottawa 2017 logo – will be sparked on New Year’s Eve, to celebrate the start of Ottawa 2017 celebrations.

50th anniversary celebration planned Continued from page 28

Inside are drop slots for borrowed items; those are whisked away on conveyor belts to be sorted into holds and returns. “It’s a very busy and popular branch,” said Yvonne van Lith, manager of the Carlingwood branch, adding about 1,000 people come to the branch each day. “They come back here because it’s an open and welcoming space.” Across the way is the children’s area, with rows of books and garlands of colourful cut-outs draped from the ceiling. It’s filled with natural light, even on an overcast day. The Carlingwood branch originally opened in the Carlingwood Shopping Centre in 1957 with a collection of 5,000 books. The current location on Woodroffe Avenue was inaugurated in October of 1966 — 50 years ago — with a collection of 30,000 items. Now patrons of the

library have access to OPL’s entire collection, more than 200,000 items. To celebrate the anniversary, the branch is hosting a celebration on Oct. 1, starting at 10:30 a.m., complete with cake, family storytime, mural unveiling, greenscreen photography, buttonmaking, popcorn and more. Capital Blend Quartet will sing guests out of the anniversary event, which ends at 3:30 p.m. Van Lith said the anniversary celebration will have something for everyone. “The staff have pulled out all the stops,” she said. The anniversary also kicks off Library Month. “Everyone is very excited; people really do love their local library.” The library is also celebrating the milestone with the addition of a mural on the corner of the building. It’s called 50 Down, 50 to Go, 50 More Years Watch Us Grow. It was painted, sketched and assembled by

artist Claudia Salguero and Grade 9 and 10 teens from Carlington Community Health Centre’s StudentsWill-All-Graduate program. “The kids and teens really feel the library is here for them,” van Lith said of the mural project and other teen programming. “It’s not just about books, it’s about building confidence,” she said. The mural shows the library as a safe and inclusive space with books, computers, programs, music and other technologies. She said the library has many active users, including a large senior population, which is also depicted in the mural. School groups also scour the stacks for their next read and use it often. “It’s a place to meet and for people to connect. It just feels like a part of you.” Van Lith has memories of her own library in Winnipeg, going in with an idea of a book, but no idea of the title.

“And this guy with a curly moustache found the book for me,” she said. “It’s the memories like that they will keep with them,” she said. Those memories are created through connections with staff, and with the community, she said, adding that makes the library branch more of a community hub, with resources ranging from audio books to Google Chromebooks, than just stacks of reading materials. “We’re letting people know it’s not just about books.”

Yvonne van Lith, manager of the Carlingwood branch of the Ottawa Public Library shows off the branch’s new mural commemorating the building’s 50th anniversary. The mural is called 50 down, 50 to go, 50 more years watch us grow. MELISSA MURRAY/ METROLAND

ENERGY $AVING$! Before buying an air conditioning unit or system, find out its energyefficiency ratio (EER). Calculate the EER by dividing the unitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cooling capacity (BTUs/hour) by its energy requirement (watts). An EER of 10 or more is very good, and 6 or 7 is fair. Remember to buy the smallest capacity unit or system that will meet your needs.

ENERGY TIP! Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll use the machine less, save time and save energy, if you wash full loads. Wash at a lower temperature. Use the spin cycle, and then hang dry your clothes and sheets.

TRIMBLE

Eileen Winnifred (neé McCracken)

The Lord called His earthly angel and her daughters’ adored Mom, Eileen, to take flight, heaven bound, at daybreak on Tuesday, August 30, 2016. Her daughters’ hearts are broken once more after losing their treasured Dad, Earl, just fifteen months ago. Eileen has joined Earl and their predeceased son, Lawrence, and daughter, Myrla, to share eternity together praising their Lord and Saviour. Eileen would have celebrated her 95th birthday on September 26th. She is greatly missed by daughters Marilyn (Leigh) Woof, Melody Buck and Maureen Trimble; granddaughter Cherish Trimble and grandsons Andrew, Stephen (Jennifer) and Mark (Janet) Woof; great grandchildren Lily, Graceanne, Hailey, Hannah, Hunter and Harper; as well as sisters-in-law Gladys (Rae) Ball and Helen (Stirling-predeceased) Trimble. Heartfelt thanks to Lynda Sinclair who, through the years, has been like a fifth daughter and Edith Duncan who has been a wonderful, faithful and trusted friend. Special thanks to the 3rd floor staff at West End Villa for their loving and gentle care and to her roommate, Joan, who kept watch over her. Visitation will be held at Arlington Woods Free Methodist Church, 225 McClellan Rd, Nepean, on Saturday, October 1st from 11 a.m. until time of service at 12:30 p.m. Donations to Arlington Woods Church, 225 McClellan Rd, Nepean, ON K2H 8N5 or Wesley Acres Church Camp, P.O.

Let’s Close the Species Gap! It’s no secret that animal welfare is a very different thing for dogs and cats. One of the most striking differences between dogs and cats in our community, and by extension, at the Ottawa Humane Society, is the numbers that enter our care with identification. While just 14 per cent of dogs admitted have either visible identification – a collar and tag – or permanent ID in the form of a microchip, only a sad one per cent of cats are so protected. This seriously inhibits our ability to return a cat to its home. What can you do? If you have brought a cat into your life, please outfit her with a collar and tag. Have her implanted with permanent identification.

If you lose your cat, don’t give up looking for him. We have reunited pets with their owners months after they became lost. Here are some tips from your friends at the OHS: • Visit the Ottawa Humane Society as soon as possible. • View photos of most stray cats admitted to the OHS shelter at www.ottawahumane.ca. • Make fliers that include the lost date, description including any unique markings, a picture, and your phone number. A reward motivates people! • Make familiar sounds to attract your pet. Walk around your neighbourhood in the morning and evening calling your cat’s name. • Put fliers up around your neighbourhood shops, veterinary clinics and anywhere else, including your old neighbourhood if you’ve recently moved. • Place the kitty litter outside – while it may sound strange, this helps nervous or shy cats who may have bolted return to a site that “smells” familiar. • Check with neighbours, mail courier, newspaper and other delivery people, local veterinary clinics etc. More tips and information can be found in our website at www.ottawahumane.ca. And please, let’s close the welfare gap between dogs and cats. Always identify your cat! Pet of the Week: Pippa (ID# A189233) Meet Pippa, a playful and friendly cat looking for her purr-fect match. Pippa is an energetic girl who loves to play with her favourite toys. Whether it’s running through crinkle tunnels or tossing around a ball, Pippa is sure to keep you entertained. She loves to be around her human friends and will happily follow you around the house, keeping you company throughout the day. Does Pippa sound like the kitty for you? For more information on Pippa and all the adoptable animals, stop by the OHS at 245 West Hunt Club Rd Check out our website at www.ottawahumane.ca to see photos and descriptions of the animals available for adoption.

Please note: The Ottawa Humane Society has many other companion animals available for adoption. Featured animals are adopted quickly! To learn more about adopting an animal from the Ottawa Humane Society please contact us:

Mother’s special powers were proven for Mary

MARY COOK Memories would fall to his chest and the soft snoring would start. My sister Audrey was at the old treadle Singer sewing machine trying her best to make a blouse out of a cotton dress that had come in the hand-me-down box from Aunt Lizzie in Regina. It was important that I place everyone in the kitchen that night, because I was out to prove what my friend Velma said was, in fact, true. She said mothers had this rare talent where they

s she did every evening after the kitchen had been redded up, Mother was at the end of the kitchen table with her diaries and scrapbooks spread out before her. I was glad my sister Audrey decided she didn’t have time to spend with me going through the Eaton’s catalogue. It had just arrived in the mail and even though I could spend hours thumbing through the pages, that night I had other things on my mind. I looked around the kitchen. From where I sat at the other end of the table, I saw Father in the rocking chair as usual, with his feet up on a cushion on the oven door. The Ottawa Farm Journal was on his lap and I could see it wouldn’t be long before sleep would win out, and the paper would slip to the floor. And then his pipe

could see everything going on around them, without turning their heads or raising their eyes from whatever they were doing. I had long since ruled out that Mother had eyes in the back of her head like my brother Emerson swore up and down was a fact! Having examined her head carefully on more than one occasion, I knew this was just another one of my brother’s crazy ideas. I was more inclined to believe my friend Velma, who was devoutly religious,

a Lutheran, and said God had given mothers this special talent, so that they could keep everyone in line without as much as actually seeing them in action. That night, I was determined to see if Velma had her facts straight. My three brothers were playing Old Maid at the bake table and that meant trouble. I knew it wouldn’t take long before there would be a roaring-eyed fight, like there was just about every night. Earl said Emerson was cheating. Everett yelled, “Ya, cheating.” And then it happened right before my eyes! Mother didn’t look up from the diary she was working on and said to Emerson, “Put that card back in the deck, young man, or you’re off to bed.” She hadn’t as much as raised an eyebrow! And then she asked Audrey to get Father’s pipe off

his chest because it was just about to burn a hole in his plaid shirt. And she didn’t even turn her head! Well, that tore it for me. I couldn’t wait to get to school the next day to tell Velma she was absolutely right. Mothers did have this talent for knowing what was going on

room with her, I would try my utmost to have the purest of thoughts in my head. And I wondered if, when I grew up, I too would have the rare talent of knowing exactly what was going on around me without benefit of raising an eyebrow, just because I too, had become a

without as much as raising an eyebrow. And they didn’t have eyes in the back of their heads either! And I started to wonder if just maybe Mother could tell what I was thinking too. That thought scared the daylights out of me and I made up my mind that whenever I was in the same

mother. It was a lot to think about back then when I was six-years-old. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books? Go to https://www.smashwords. com and type MaryRCook for e-book purchase details, or if you would like a hard copy, please contact Mary at wick2@sympatico.ca.

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, certain feelings may not be easy to convey, but try to find the words this week. It’s important to let your feelings be known, and others are waiting on you to speak up. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, coworkers respond favorably to a proposal you worked hard on. Allow this professional momentum to pay dividends outside of the office as well. GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, mixed signals lead to a bit of confusion. It’s nothing you can’t handle if you backtrack and remedy the original situation, just provide yourself ample time to set things right. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Be extra sensitive to the plights or concerns of others this week, Cancer. Some around you could benefit from some empathy and understanding. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, now might be a great time to take a step back and enjoy a little breathing room. Look at things from a different perspective, and you might be amazed at your new outlook. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, many things in your life are vying for your attention. It’s difficult to choose just one, but you will have to do so this week. If necessary, reach out to a friend for assistance.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, your values and those of a loved one may clash from time to time. Some polite and intelligent discourse might be just what the doctor ordered this week. SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Reactions come swiftly and strongly this week, Scorpio. You either love or hate something, and things may be very black and white in your world in the days ahead. SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, try to separate your personal life from your professional activities this week. This may require being a little more quiet and introspective than usual, but do your best. CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, let your feelings be heard if you feel underappreciated by someone close to you this week. Your loved one will appreciate your honesty and welcome your insight. AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 A meaningful conversation with the right person may occur this week, Aquarius. It could mean a step in the right direction for you and help to further your career. PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, your emotions are so strong this week that you may feel alienated from those closest to you. If so, make an effort to stay connected. 0929
