Police conduct pedestrian crossover safety blitz BY MELISSA MURRAY mmurray@metroland.com
Drivers, cyclists and pedestrians were flagged down by police officers conducting an education and enforcement campaign about crossover safety on Somerset and Bay streets on Sept. 27. Ottawa Police Sgt. Patricia Urquhart, who heads the Central Traffic Enforcement Unit, said the first person they talked to told them they use the crossover – a pedestrian crossing indi-
cated with striped markings, signage and in some cases flashing lights in pedestrian heavy areas – everyday, but even with signage and flashing lights cars don’t stop. “I see people are struggling today– they aren’t sure what this is,” Urquhart said, while watching over the intersection. “The drivers aren’t adhering to the lights or the pedestrian on the sidewalk. It’s almost like they aren’t paying attention.” See DRIVERS, page 2

During the campaign, as one person would cross without pressing the button to signal the flashing overhead lights, a driver would go through the crossover before the pedestrian finished crossing. Urquhart said when it comes to crossovers, everyone has responsibility. Drivers approaching crossovers are asked to slowdown and stop when a pedestrian is crossing. They can’t proceed until a pedestrian has finished crossing the entire intersection, not just one lane. Those rules came into effect on Jan. 1 of this year. “Before they proceed, they need to make sure it’s clear from curb to curb,” Urquhart said, adding pedestrians have the right-of-way. For pedestrians, if it’s a crossover with a flashing light, they need to push the button and make sure drivers are stopping before stepping out onto the street. Urquhart suggested making eye contact with drivers to make sure they see them. For drivers, not following the rules of the crossover can cost you. Fines range from $150 to $500 and three demerit points. The education campaign has been planned for some time, even before
what Urquhart called a “terrible weekend” when multiple pedestrians were hit within city limits. “It did heighten the urgency to do something like this,” she said. According to city data collected between 2010 and 2014, there have been about 1,800 pedestrian collisions, most of those (66 per cent) happened at intersections and almost half (48 per cent) occurred when vehicles were turning. Maria Luisa, who is a membership secretary for the Dalhousie Community association, said the crossover is a great safety measure and a needed one in that busy neighbourhood. “It’s heavily used,” she said, adding there are a lot of seniors and people with children that use the crossing to get to Tim Hortons on one side of Somerset Street and Dundonald Park. Luisa said every time she has used the crossover, people have stopped and given her the right-of-way through the busy intersection. According to the city’s website, it plans to install up to 60 pedestrian crossovers for the next three years as part of a pilot program. Locations include new crossings, retrofits of old crossing and roundabouts.

Bill to ensure equality of children BY MELISSA MURRAY mmurray@metroland.com
As Ontario’s Attorney General, Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi introduced legislation to ensure all children are treated equally – no matter the makeup of their family. The new legislation, tabled on Sept. 29, is the second he has introduced since becoming attorney general. It would ensure all couples who use assisted reproduction are recognized as their child’s parents, allow parents who use a surrogate to be legally recognized as parents without a court process and recognize the legal status of all parents no matter how the child was conceived. “We need to make sure (parents) are able to focus on things that are important for the well-being of their child, not on spending $5,000 to $10,000 on legal fees on a declaration that says you are the parent for the child,” Naqvi said in a recent inter-
not evolved and the result is parents spending more time, money and resources getting parental declarations. “Any parent would know in the early days should be spent on the child not on legal uncertainty,” he said. If passed, it also has the added benefit of freeing up the court system so judges can focus on more pressing issues, he added. The All Families are Equal Act was debated Oct. 3. Naqvi hopes to have the bill will pass quickly, so it can be implemented at the start of 2017. He hopes all parties and members will come METROLAND FILE PHOTO together to support the bill.

Demand grows to close west end restaurant in the wake of shooting BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
Mayor Jim Watson joined the chorus of those calling for the closure of Suya Spot, a Shillington Avenue Nigerian restaurant that was the site of a fatal shooting on Sept. 25. Abdi Jama, 26, was killed in the back parking lot of the eatery. The killing was one of a pair of deadly shootigs in the west end over the same weekend – the other happened the day before on Elmira Avenue. “It’s certainly a magnet for trouble,” Watson said of the restaurant following the Sept. 28 council meeting. Watson said closing the restaurant and finding a more family-friendly use for the site would be a good idea. “Whether it’s the annoyance of noise and fights outside the property or something more deadly like the shooting, there’s a lot of trouble there,” he said. The city does have some recourse for problem businesses, such as complaints to the provincial alcohol and gaming commission, or investigations under the property standards
bylaw or fire code. Police Chief Charles Bordeleau said during a Sept. 26 police services board meeting that there had been more than 100 calls for service to the restaurant since it opened three years ago.
with the landlord to work on a way to sever Suya Spot’s lease. Aside from the charges Bordeleau highlighted, Brockington said there have been seven charges under the fire code and three charges for serving alcohol without a license.

“It has run the gamut on everything from weapons to drugs,” Bordeleau said of those calls. But it’s not as simple as shutting it down, he said. “We don’t have the power to shut it down,” he said. “We can lay charges and have been working with the landlord. We have actively opposed the restaurant getting a liquor license, but we know there are illegal liquor sales happening after hours.” River Coun. Riley Brockington said he’s been in talks
Brockington added the landlord pledged to meet with his tenant and then with the councillor later this week. The shootings on Sept. 25 and 26, bring the city’s total homicides up to 13 for 2016 – which is on pace with the same time as the record-breaking year in 2014. Bordeleau said the shootings highlight an ongoing problem with illegal firearms in the city. Both of the west end shooting victims were known to police.

Do you have good hearing but find listening tiring? reduce the cognitive processing needed to understand speech.
Research has shown that even people with minimal hearing loss find listening to be tiring. Swiss based hearing aid technology can help by limiting the effort needed by the brain to understand speech. Listening and understanding speech are an important part of everyday communications. However, this can be challenging for people with normal hearing, and even more trying for people with hearing loss. Many of our everyday environments are not ideal. Poor acoustics, lack of visual cues (e.g. on-the phone or talking from another room), muffled speech, and background noise limit our ability to understand speech. This results in asking people to repeat themselves, straining to hear, and possibly avoiding group discussions. A rising field of study by hearing researchers is listening effort. This can be defined as the amount of cognitive resources that are being used to process and understand speech. Research suggests that continued listening effort is linked to
Listening effort may be reduced for some clients through the new rechargeable Phonak Audéo B-R hearing aids.

A person who is straining to hear is using more brain power to understand speech. The more brain power needed, the more tired that person is going to feel.

Common sense holiday shopping
T
he Ontario Municipal Board quickly dismissed an Ottawa and District Labour Council appeal to quash the City of Ottawa’s decision to grant the BIA in the Glebe tourism district status that will allow stores in the Glebe to open on stat holidays going forward. As decisions go, it was a no-brainer. The labour council seemed to have a two-pronged argument. First, allowing retail businesses to operate on statutory holidays in the Glebe would be unfair to workers because they wouldn’t be able to enjoy those holidays. The other argument was that the Glebe and Lansdowne Park development area should not be considered a tourist area. Concerning that second argument first — really? Were they actually serious? The OMB dismissed that argument by simply stating that Lansdowne Park and the Rideau Canal, in the Glebe, are indeed tourist attractions within the meaning of the province’s Retail Business Holidays Act. That appears to be a very reasonable decision. On the surface the stickier argument is the whole unfairness to workers argument that they may not get these holidays if they work in the Glebe area. But last time we checked, the calendar said the year is 2016 — and while we know that Ontario had to dragged kick-
ing and screaming into the modern world when Sunday shopping was first allowed times have changed and the way people live nowadays is a lot different than it was in the past. Nowadays many people are happy to be able to shop even on stat days if they can. They’ve been able to that in this city in the ByWard Market and Rideau Centre for a while. That they can’t elsewhere seems silly. Some people worry that with the Glebe getting this special status, other areas of Ottawa may come forward and seek the same for their areas as well such as the Centrum shopping complex out in Kanata. Well, why not? Many restaurants are open on stat days. Some places, such as Tim Hortons outlets, never seem to close. This coming Thanksgiving stores that wish to remain open in the Glebe — and that is the key as it is a now a choice rather than government fiat that says you can or can’t open — will be open for business. And residents of the city, from one end to the other, can go shopping there on that day if they want to do so. Imagine that, having a choice as a business owner and a shopper. Who knows but this radical idea of having a choice may actually catch on.
Feds vision of pot legalization of hazy
T
hings aren’t going all that well in the legalizing marijuana department. It’s funny that no one antici-
pated it. It may be that some kind of 1960s consciousness blinded the decision-makers. Marijuana would be legal, no one would have to go to jail, sweet little hippies would grow it and sell it and everybody would go around wearing secret smiles. Meanwhile, the world would marvel at what a hip and progressive place Canada was. So far it hasn’t worked that way. The sweet little hippies are nowhere in evidence. Their place has been taken up by fast-moving entrepreneurs who have set up dispensaries on seemingly every corner, including some corners that are perilously close to schools.

no mechanism exists to ensure proper government testing. The federal government, whose brainchild marijuana legalization is, doesn’t seem to be doing much about this. The health department, with the peculiar logic of which governments are sometimes capable, explains its inaction on these findings by answering that the dispensaries in question are illegal. This leaves the question of enforcement in local hands. Some local police forces have cracked down on what are essentially illegal outlets and some have not. You can hardly blame them for being confused. Those that have not cracked down reason that it is silly, and costly, to enforce a law that will be obsolete in a few months. Those that have cracked down believe that, health risk or no, it is simply wrong to allow people to flout the law.

Someone might have thought all this through before legalization became an election promise. Belatedly, the government did start thinking. It appointed a task force on legalization. Probably wisely, the task force was made to include some folks who might not be totally onside. That included Anne McLellan, a minister of justice in the former ChrĂŠtien government. A couple of weeks ago she told the CBC that it is not realistic to think legalizing marijuana will keep organized crime out of the game. She also acknowledged other social and health-related problems. “There are risks involved here,â€? she said. “Nobody should naively go into this project without understanding that there are risks.â€? The risks might include reported evidence that the brains of young smokers are particularly vulnerable. Perhaps those risks and the social and criminal risks can be overcome — but not without recognizing that they exist. From all the evidence to far, it EDITORIAL: MANAGING EDITOR: 5IFSFTB 'SJU[ UIFSFTB GSJU[!NFUSPMBOE DPN NEWS EDITOR: /FWJM )VOU OFWJM IVOU!NFUSPMBOE DPN REPORTER/PHOTOGRAPHER: .FMMJTTB .VSSBZ NNVSSBZ!NFUSPMBOE DPN
appears that laws are being broken and unsafe products are being made available to the public while the government looks on. While we wait for the fog to clear and the haze to begin, it is worth considering the example the government is setting for the young people it so eagerly seeks to involve in public service.

Teaching kids to be thankful
T
his is the worst dinner ever,” my 10-year-old declared for probably the fifth time in as many days. “Thanks for supper, mom.” His comment upset me, but not for the reasons you may think. I’ve grown a thick skin to this type of criticism. Most of the time – I’m no saint – I don’t anticipate anything but critique on my culinary skills. Mostly, however, I was upset because I realized this kid, although taking a moment to say thank you, wasn’t truly aware of the meaning, or lack thereof, behind his words. As many of us gather with family and friends to celebrate Thanksgiving, we will give thanks, as tradition demands. But will we truly be thankful? Practicing daily gratitude has become as cliché as morning coffee. I, for one, have neglected to say an hourly prayer of thanks or meditate on the subject of gratitude. I have rejected the yaysayers who #gratitude every darn Facebook post. I’ve done this out of a sense of rebellion. But lately, I’ve started questioning my rebel without a cause attitude. Seeing my child’s lack of gratitude made me realize that perhaps I’ve failed to impart the importance of this value to my offspring. Okay, so what kid doesn’t hate dinner at home – unless it’s pizza or taco night?
BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse But truly, is he grateful that there’s food on the table? Is he grateful that his mom takes time to do the weekly shopping, to lovingly (and sometimes not so lovingly) prepare a balanced meal? Mostly, he is, I guess. We’ve tried to raise the kids
‘Be wary of material gifts. It’s nice to give children things. But three children and a dozen years into this parenting thing, I have come to realize that material possessions have a limit.’
to be grateful. We’ve tried to set limits, not spoil them. We give them surprise gifts sometimes and other times make them work for stuff. Mostly, they’re pretty polite in public. I do remember my
son, however, when he was pre-school age, being asked by a great aunt, “What’s the magic word?” To my great humiliation and simultaneous delight, he responded, “Abracadabra?” In my search on how to teach kids gratitude, I came up with a few things that don’t involve magic at all. The first step is to be a role model. Be thankful for the children and to the children for their help, their creative presence and their contributions to others. Encourage the kids to practice that #gratitude habit. Help them to start a list, a gratitude jar or a journal so they can engage in writing down things for which they are thankful. Be wary of material gifts. It’s nice to give children things. But three children and a dozen years into this parenting thing, I have come to realize that material possessions have a limit. Kids are engaged with shiny new items one minute; the next, they’ve tossed that item to the back of the cupboard. Give them great experiences. I’ve written frequently about our family camping adventures. “The depriva-
tion vacation,” as one friend calls it. But without material items, and often without WiFi, we focus on the time spent together. Sometimes that is time spent in adversity, battling rain or black flies. Often, as parents, we have to convince the kids to engage in a hike or some other type of adventure. Perhaps where we’ve fallen short is giving the kids the opportunity to help plan the trip and then to do a postmortem afterwards. What is it about the trip that offered them a learning experience? For which experiences are they thankful? Finally, this Thanksgiving, we can all remember those who perhaps don’t have family, material goods and experiences that enlighten them. It’s good for children to recognize need in the community and to be aware that we can all make a difference in the lives of those around us. The old adage says charity begins at home. By encouraging kids to donate toys, make cookies for a fundraiser or
give time at a shelter, we can instill that sense of gratitude for the simple things. As for weekday dinners, well, I may gently remind my son that, despite my thick skin,
his criticism of my cooking can feel like a slap in the face, even when he gratefully cleans his plate and puts a thank you appendage on the end.

Community health providers get cash for building improvements STAFF
Five community health providers in Ottawa are getting some extra cash this year through the province’s Community Infrastructure Renewal Fund. According to a press release, the five health service agencies will receive more than $257,000 for infrastructure improvements to ensure a safe and healthy environment. Those agencies include: • Ottawa Salus Corporation (Athlone Site) – $12,960 • Ottawa Salus Corporation (Cooper Site) – $42,890 • Ottawa Salus Corporation (LeBreton Site) – $93,913 • Ottawa Salus Corporation (Rosemount Site) – $24,456
• Sandy Hill Community Health Centre – $83,150 Ottawa Salus Corporation provides rehabilitation and supportive housing for adults 16 years old and up in Ottawa with severe mental illness. Services include psychosocial rehabilitation, occupational therapy and on-site community development since the 1970s. Sandy Hill Community Health Centre provides addiction and mental health services, as well as health promotion, health services and community development programs. “Supporting infrastructure renewal projects in Ottawa is so crucial to the health services we provide our community,” said Ottawa Centre MPP
Yasir Naqvi in a statement. “This funding directly affects the work environments in which our health practitioners and community members receive service. The money undoubtedly results in an improvement in each community-based agency’s facilities and operational capacity.” The funding is part of $4.1 million provided in 201617 to health service providers. In total 59 providers at 70 sites will receive funds to extend the life of their facilities, improve accessibility and enhance quality of care, says the release. Improvements can include anything from the replacement of roofs to windows, HVAC systems and fire alarms.

Parents and students push to save Regina Street Public School BY MELISSA MURRAY mmurray@metroland.com
Regina Street Public School parents and students are asking the public school board to save their school. The school is one of several the board is considering closing through its western area accommodation review process. The review suggests the closure of Regina Street Public School and its students be moved to D. Roy Kennedy Public School, which is about two kilometres away. Parents found out about the potential closure last May, in what parent Heather Amundrud, who has a daughter in Grade 4 and a son in Grade 2 at the school, said was a bit of a cryptic letter. “It took a bunch of us parents a whole lot of investigating to find out there are school closures going to be happening and rearranging and who knows what, and that our school is on the list of those that might be closed,” Amundrud said. At the time, the school didn’t even have an official school council, but since then, parents
have mobilized to get a formal council and are pushing for parents in the catchment area to write letters and speak at board meetings to have the school stay open. They are even offering solutions, like increasing the catchment area and making the school a JK to 8, instead of having the Grade 7 and Grade 8 students at another school. “We have never said we don’t want any change; we’ve always said, ‘We have to change, let’s figure out a way to do this and find out how to make this work,’” Amundrud said. She said there are four reasons she’d like to see the school saved: • Greenspace: the school has access to Mud Lake – a natural resource other schools travel to visit. • REKSAP Centre for Early Learning: a daycare for children age two-and-a-half and up, which also provides before and after school care for children up to the end of Grade 6. • Location: most within the catchment area walk or bike to school. • Accessibility: the school is all
MELISSA MURRAY/METROLAND
The public school board is recommending the closure of Regina Street Public School as part of its western area accommodation review. The review is of 26 different schools. on one floor making it already accessible. Amundrud was hoping, after a school council is established, to invite the neighbourhood and trustees to the school so they can see the property and understand the student experience. “Hopefully we can get the trustees to see the amazing place we have – it’s worth keeping open,” she said. Amundrud said she was dis-
heartened to see what the August board report recommended for Regina Street Public School, especially after all the letters and emails written over the summer. “We were trying to voice our opinions all summer long and then the report comes out and it says exactly what we don’t want to hear,” she said. “I don’t feel that the school board listened to us so we’re hoping that we can change that
over the course of the year.” Shannon Hurst’s son attends the before- and after-school care program at Regina Street Public before he attends the early French immersion program at Woodroffe Avenue Public School. He would not only be impacted if the REKSAP program closed along with the school, but by the redrawing of boundaries that would follow. She said, that would have her son going to Severn Avenue Public School, where an early French immersion program would have to be added – that’s until Grade 6 and he’s bumped back to Woodroffe for Grade 7 and 8. “We have a stake in REKSAP, in Woodroffe and Severn,” Hurst said. Best-case scenario for her family is that Regina stays open. Hurst has attended board meetings to let members know her family’s situation and to speak for others that may not have the time or know-how to get involved. “I understand the dollar and cents point of view (board members) have to take, but I think
closing the school will have a real impact on the neighbourhood,” she said. She also worries about the impact on families. She said if the closures happen, some families might need to buy bus passes to get their kids to school, which puts added cost and strain on families. She also blamed low enrolment on the school’s small catchment area; one she said is the smallest in the board. “So yes of course you have low enrolment when you have other schools to draw from, and then you have others with portables in the backyard.” To fill up some of the space, Hurst suggested the board expand the school’s autism spectrum disorder program – an existing program at the school that is already at capacity. “As a society as a whole it would just be nice if decisions could be made with a full view for a child and a family and a society. The school board has its mandate but it doesn’t necessarily encompass all those important factors and how those factors impact other aspects of the child and families life,” she said.

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.
Police anticipate 1,200 events around the capital for 2017
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.
Police services board wants to know what policing costs will be for birthday celebrations
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.
jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
The Project
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.

While Ottawa police know that there will be as many as 25 major events throughout the capital for Canada Day 2017, it’s still not quite clear what the increased costs for policing the grand celebrations will be.
There’s a three-person security team dedicated to planning for 2017 events. Supt. Joan McKenna briefed the police services board on Sept. 26. Board member Carl Nicholson wanted the numbers. “How much is this going to cost us?” he asked. But Deb Frazer, director

general of financial services for the Ottawa police, said the numbers won’t be available until closer to budget time. “It will be tough to estimate how much,” she said. The reason it’s difficult to estimate is some of the policing costs will fall on the shoulders of event organizers and in some cases the city will be required to foot the bill. In total, there are 1,200 events planned in celebration of Canada’s 150th year, at various times and locations – only 25 of those are considered major by the police force.
‘How much is this going to cost us?’ CARL NICHOLSON POLICE BOARD MEMBER
Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder said she’s concerned about getting enough officers to sign on for paid security detail. It’s been tough this year to find bodies to deal with road detours because of construction, she said. Police Chief Charles Bordeleau said the issue is on “his radar” and wanted members to know that this isn’t a typical construction year, as it was the start of the construction of the LRT Confederation Line. Police have developed a risk assessment tool for all events, based on location, the history of the organizers, the expected number of attendees and a whole host of other factors that McKenna said will help police figure out required staffing levels. For events such as the Grey Cup, Ottawa police can look to what’s been done in other municipalities. Ottawa 2017, the not-forprofit bureau that’s planning the birthday celebrations, confirmed in August that it has raised external funds to be used to pay for security costs, but haven’t released a business plan as of yet.

Safety to take centre stage in River Ward BY ERIN MCCRACKEN erin.mccracken@metroland.com
METROLAND FILE PHOTO
River Coun. Riley Brockington is hosting his annual River Ward Community Safety Night on Oct. 19. The evening will be an opportunity for residents to learn from experts about how to protect themselves and their property, as well as the process involved in filing a complaint related to a bylaw infraction.
14 Ottawa West News - Thursday, October 6, 2016
While crime isn’t on the rise in River Ward, according to the area councillor, community safety remains a top priority for local residents. The ward’s annual Community Safety Night will be held on Oct. 19, from 6 to 9 p.m., at the Hunt Club-Riverside Park Community Centre, where fire department officials and police and bylaw officers will be the attractions of the evening. How to protect yourself and your property will be addressed by police, and officers will also discuss the value of area safety audits. “Certainly there were incidents in Hunt Club this summer that were high profile,” River Coun. Riley Brockington said, referring to a July 14 home invasion on Bankview Place in which a senior citizen woke up from a nap to find three men in his home armed with a replica handgun and a roll of duct tape. And on the west side of the Rideau River in the ward, Brockington said he has been working with the city and the owners of the Suya Spot restaurant on Shillington Avenue to find a resolution to the level of violence that has plagued the business.
The business has reportedly been the site of four shootings in the past three years. Most recently, Abdi Jama, 26, was shot to death in the restaurant’s parking lot on Sept. 25. “We are close to an agreement,” Brockington said, declining to reveal whether that would result in the closure of the problem-plagued business in Carlington. Next up, fire officials will speak about the value of smoke and carbon monoxide detectors as well as home evacuation plans. And bylaw officers will address concerns raised about dogs in parks, property standards and noise. “It’s a total reflection on some of the complaints I get,” said Brockington, noting that some residents have raised the issue of off-leash dogs causing problems in parks. When it comes to noise, complaints are often about late-night work being done in a house or apartment unit, as well as parties. There have also been beefs about neighbours not cutting their grass and allowing yard debris and trash to pile up. The location of parked vehicles has also been an issue, as well as homes that appear to be in a constant state of renovation. Prior to the presentations at the safety night, community organizations and groups will
have information tables during the open house portion of the event, similar to a trade show where residents can browse for safety tips and other resources. “I’m trying to boil down these safety-related issues that I’ve heard and make sure that police, bylaw and fire address those in their presentation,” Brockington said of the educational intent of the evening. The key to safety is quickly addressing issues and engaging residents to develop solutions, he said. “(Safety) is a priority of my tenure as a councillor, whether it’s to address speeding or address the (Suya Spot) club in the other part of the ward that’s causing problems or bylaw standard issues,” said Brockington. “We take it very serious, because it’s a quality of life issue,” he said. “And I want people to feel safe where they live. If you don’t feel safe where you live, that causes a lot more problems and ripple effects throughout the community.” The open house portion of the safety night event on Oct. 19 is from 6 to 7 p.m., with and presentations starting at 7 p.m. and a question-and-answer session following the presentations.

Council clears road for OMBA partnership in Carlington BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
Wendy Tucker, a resident of the city’s west end, said she plans to keep working to save Carlington Park from a proposal to construct a permanent mountain bike park. For the most part, the advocates of the self-proclaimed Save the Hill group, think if it’s not broke, why fix it? “There were mountain bikes on the hill before and they co-existed peacefully with other users,” Tucker said. The proposal – drafted by the Ottawa Mountain Biking Association – would contain a circuit of small hills and jumps called a “pump track,” and a skill area with dirt jumps and trails, designed for riders with varied skill levels. Council approved the partnership between the city and OMBA on Sept. 28. It’s the second proposal of its sort and would be relegated to the west side of the hill, away from the environmentally protected Carlington Woods, said River Coun. Riley Brockington. Because the project doesn’t require any city funds, there was no
requirement for council permission, but Brockington pushed forward the concept of taking the proposal to the community and protective services committee to give the public a chance to offer input. The Carlington Community Association handled much of the public consultation work – posting their own online survey and holding a vote at the community association’s annual general meeting. Brockington said the item appeared in three household flyers handed out by his staff and garnered some media attention in the spring. “There will always be some
people who say they didn’t know about it,” Brockington said. “That happens with every project I have learned, but there was ample opportunity to comment.” Brockington said the proposal would only take up approximately two per cent of the total area and would be open to all residents, which is one of the reasons he supports it. “The original OMBA proposal was much more extensive and had five phases or sections,” he said. “I couldn’t support that.” Neither could he support a proposal from Camp Fortune to use the hill. “They wanted to charge residents
to use a city facility,” he said. But Tucker said the biggest problem was with how the consultation was handled. “There were more signatures on the petition than there were votes,” she said of the vote at the community association’s AGM. Tucker likened the process to that of the megapark that was recently built at Mooney’s Bay. Ironically the public reaction to the Mooney’s Bay Park is the reason why Brockington chose to have this item heard by the committee. The community association will continue to consult with the public on the design for the bike park.
The vote on the proposal was 19 in favour and two against. Knoxdale-Merivale Coun. Keith Egli and College Coun. Rick Chiarelli dissented. “It’s not a comment on the mountain bike park or on the work of staff, but I am concerned with the consultation,” Chiarelli said. Chiarelli, whose residents in nearby neighbourhoods were concerned about increased traffic due to the bike park, also voted against the proposal. The park – which has a hill that is an official City of Ottawa location – is next to a series of crosstown bike trails.

Since 1973
Young leaders and prospective leaders gathered in the capital to help change the world. The One Young World summit started on Sept. 28 with a celebration on Parliament Hill, but the seriousness about what it takes to change the world began on Sept. 29 at the Shaw Centre. “Young people can play a pivotal role in their countries,” said Kofi Annan, a Noble Peace Prize laureate, and former secretary-general of the United Nations between 1997 and 2006. One Young World convenes an annual gathering of 1,300 young leaders from 196 countries, who network
with peers to address urgent global issues. Counsellors attending this year’s summit included, Kofi Annan, Sir Bob Geldof, Cher, former president of Ireland Mary Robinson and actress and UN goodwill ambassador Emma Watson. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau opened the summit at the Parliament Hill celebration. Founded in 2009 by David Jones and Kate Robertson, the U.K.-based charity gathers together the brightest young leaders from around the world, with the goal to empower them to make lasting connections in an effort to create positive change. The first day welcomed Annan, along with six members of his foundation’s re-
cently formed Extremely Together – a group of young leaders with proven trackrecords in preventing and countering violent extremism in their own communities – to help figure out what they can do to turn terrorism on its head. “Here we have the opportunity to create real change and break the cycle of hate,” said group member Ilwad Elman. Elman believes that nothing is set in stone, and if one youth turns towards hate and terrorism, all it takes is one thing to turn that person around. “We can rebuild lives, and it will have a ripple effect,” she said.

Summit brings 1,300 delegates Continued from page 16
The 26 year-old was born in Somalia, and before she was two, her family moved to Ottawa – where she grew up as, she describes, a typical Canadian girl. It wasn’t until she was 20 years old when she decided to return to Somalia to help make a change in this world. Now she works to de-radicalise members of Al-Shabaab and promote gender equality in Africa. The summit was the group’s opportunity to announce the launch of its tool kit – a comprehensive study on where extremism comes. The group said the kit will offer the best practices to show young people what to do to make change. The council said the kit is a set of recommendations – but Elman said it’s not just another document, but rather a way to mobilize youth. “This is a call to action that anyone can do,” Elman said. “It’s not just countries in ongoing conflicts, it’s about countering it with countries with stable communities. This is the time for people to get involved. People need to work together.” It will be available online at kofiannanfoundation.org, as well as on oneyoungworld.com.
HERE AT HOME
Elman’s calling to make a difference started when she returned to Somalia. But, she said, it doesn’t have to be that way. “It’s not about packing up and going home – for me that’s how I felt I could make an impact,” Elman said. “We find a way to blend, we all have a role (and) we can all work together.” Tahir Shahzada is only 21 years old but he’s already lived in five countries. An activist in his own right, Shahzada is the vice-president of external affairs, Enactus uOttawa – an international not-for-profit organization that focuses on helping out the community through social entrepreneurship. Now calling Ottawa – more specifically Barrhaven – home and where he intends to put down his own roots, the young business student from the University of Ottawa was lucky enough to attend this world leadership conference in his hometown. “There might not be too many issues that you see, but if you dig deeper it does exist, and there is a need to address that here,” Shahzada said. To him, this summit is more than just a chance to mingle with world leaders – it’s a chance to spark new ideas and conversations about how
to change the world – starting in his own city. Shahzada was offered to chance to attend the conference on behalf of his organization. He said he jumped at the chance to meet amazing people at his doorstep. “I followed the summit when it was in Bangkok; I had a friend who went. When the opportunity came up I immediately took it,” he said. The projects Shahzada has been involved with include employing homeless individuals as soccer referees, hosting business pitch competitions for high-school students and providing extracurricular workshops for atrisk youth. Shahzada runs a team that manages fundraising, sponsorship, and external relations. This past year, Enactus uOttawa raised close to $200,000 in sponsorship and fundraising. His 2015-16 team consisted of 126 members and has contributed over 35,000 volunteer hours to the Ottawa community. Shahzada admits he’s been very lucky to travel and live in different parts of the world, but Ottawa, he added, is just as great a place to start a passion in activism, leadership and creating change in the world as anywhere else.

United Way Ottawa announces campaign goal of $15.2M BY MELISSA MURRAY mmurray@metroland.com
For JP Quinn, Heather Hurley is more like family than a volunteer with the South-East Ottawa Community Health Centre’s friendly visiting program. The pair have spent twohours a week for about four years hanging out on Friday afternoons, making conversation, touring the city and watching the Hobbit. “It’s been tea and cake and music ever since,” Quinn said. Quinn has always donated and canvassed for the United Way even back when it was the red feather campaign. “I never thought I’d be the recipient of the services it supports,” he said. This year, the United Way is hoping to raise $15.2 million to support 60,300 people. The goal was announced at the Aberdeen Pavilion on Sept. 29. Last year, the United Way helped 57,200 through its funded
community support programs; since 2011 about 286,000 people have been helped, according to the organization. Funds go to support seniors, people with disabilities, at-risk children and youth, homeless youth and people facing mental health and addictions issues. Quinn, a retired senior, who suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder and who has mobility issues due to his arthritis, said the experience having someone come to his home and have intelligent conversation has been wonderful. “It’s nice to have adult conversation and it keeps me sharp. Otherwise I think I would have rotted away.” At the time Hurley volunteered, she was new to the city. “He helped me build roots in the city,” Hurley said. “He made it feel like home to me.” Quinn and Hurley’s story isn’t completely unique, according to Nicole Li, vol-
unteer co-ordinator at the health centre. The health centre matches the personalities of seniors with volunteers and some pairings have lasted up to 15 years, she said. “Without Heather and my girlfriend, I think I would have been a bitter old man,” Quinn said, in the Aberdeen Pavilion – where, as an air cadet, he would line up for inspection – following the United Way’s annual kickoff event. “We’re all here because we believe we can change people’s lives,” said Kathleen Kemp, who is co-chairing the campaign this year with Frank Bilodeau, leading up to this year’s campaign goal announcement. During the event, just more than $6,000 was raised to help youth in 14 community houses access animation courses. The campaign wraps up on March 31, 2017. Donations can be made at unitedwayottawa.ca or by phone at 613-228-6767.

Marc Garneau, the federal transportation minister, announced Sept. 29 that Transport Canada and the provinces will establish a new task force in an attempt to reduce injuries and fatalities involving pedestrians, cyclists and heavy trucks. The announcement of the task force follows a letter from Mayor Jim Watson to Garneau. Cyclists held a rally at city hall on Sept. 1 following the death of a woman at the corner of Laurier Avenue and Lyon Street. Cyclists were also hit at the intersection of the Vanier Parkway and Donald Street and Ogilvie and Cyrville roads earlier that week. In the response to the spate of accidents, the mayor met with local pedestrian and cycling groups. Watson’s letter asked that further research be conducted

City Councillor/Conseiller Municipal River Ward/Quartier Rivière Carlington Hill to Add Mountain Bike Course On September 28, City Council voted 19-2 to allow a partnership between the Ottawa Mountain Bike Assn and the City to proceed. The deal will allow a mountain bike pump track and skills area to be constructed on a portion of the Hill’s north facing meadow, occupying approx 2% of the park’s area. As a result of various public meetings, discussions with the public and correspondence received, I amended the staff recommendation to provide greater protections to environmental lands, added emergency way-finding signage, ensured the design will be in collaboration with the community and no expansion of this project shall proceed without Council’s approval. I also made this a two-year pilot which will be reviewed by the end of 2018. If you have any questions about this project, please contact me. River Ward Budget Consultation Join me and Councillors Cloutier (Alta Vista) and Deans (Gloucester-Southgate), as we host the south-end budget consultation on October 6 from 6-8pm at the Jim Durrell Recreation Centre, located at 1265 Walkley Road.

Six councillors call for changes to Ontario Municipal Board BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
Six Ottawa councillors are calling for large-scale changes to the Ontario Municipal Board. A letter from the six councillors – sent as part of a review process by the provincial government – calls on Queen’s Park to either allow municipalities with their own in-house planning departments to opt out of the process. Failing that, they’d like to see the board abolished. The OMB is a provincial board that can be used by developers and by residents to overturn municipal planning decisions. Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper was the instigator – though the letter also bears the signatures of Couns. Catherine McKenney, Riley Brockington, David Chernushenko, Tobi Nussbaum and Mathieu Fleury. Leiper said that his work with the Hintonburg Community Association high-
lighted the need for reform. “It some cases (the OMB) can be stacked against residents,” he said, adding you have to present witnesses and experts – often with a hefty price tag. “In cases when community members seek to engage the board as participants, their testimony is given less weight than the expert planners and lawyers engagement by developers,” the letter reads. River Coun. Riley Brockington said the experience can be daunting for the average resident and the aim would just be to level the playing field. Mayor Jim Watson said that while there’s room for reform, he wouldn’t want to see the board abolished. “There has to be a mechanism for judicial review of decisions by the city,” he said. For questions of legalities, Leiper agreed, but said Ottawa is well equipped to handle its own planning and official plan policies. Leiper said
he sees the city making too many decisions based on a potential appeal to the OMB. “We should be setting our own policies, but we often second guess a decision because of a potential appeal and how much that might cost us,” he said. Leiper said reform could include a recognition of cities that have their own inhouse planning staff. Attorney General Yasir Naqvi said OMB reform is an important issue. “As the MPP for Ottawa Centre, I held consultations to hear how the OMB could better serve the needs of our community,” Naqvi wrote in an email. “Now as the attorney general, I am very pleased to be able to make meaningful progress on this issue.” Naqvi thanked the councillors for their input. “I look forward to updating them, my constituents and all Ontarians very soon on our public consultations,” he said.

City gets deal with CUPE Surplus land sales hit $22M BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
The city announced Sept. 28 that it had ratified a collective agreement with CUPE local 503. The union is the city’s largest, and represents 6,300 employees – referred to as inside/outside workers – in various departments. The workers’ previous contract expired Dec. 31, 2015.
The two parties reached a tentative deal in August but the details couldn’t be released publicly until both sides ratified the agreement. The new contract provides the following wage increases: • 1.92 per cent effective Jan. 1, 2016. • 1.92 per cent effective Jan. 1, 2017. • 1.95 per cent effective Jan. 1, 2018.
• 2.0 per cent effective Jan. 1, 2019. Starting in the new year, employees will start accruing four weeks of vacation after five years of service, instead of six. New employees will be paid a probationary rate of 95 per cent. Personal support workers and registered practical nurses working in the city’s four, longterm care facilities will get $100 allowance for shoes and clothes.

The sale of two pieces of surplus land will net the city $5.8 million this year, said Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson. Wilkinson, who’s on the board of the Ottawa Community Lands Development Corporation – the city’s realty arm – updated council on Sept. 28. The first piece of land was at 5731 Hazeldean Rd., which sold for $4.1 million. Another plot of land at 2500 St. Laurent Blvd. sold for $1.7 million.

The latest numbers bring the total to $22 million for this term of council, Wilkinson said. Wilkinson said some of the surplus lands are from holdings of the former municipalities. “Nepean had a large land block, as did Kanata,” she said, adding there will likely be excess land to sell off for the next 10 to 15 years. The money from the sale of the lands goes into general revenue, but Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury suggested that down the road the monies could be put into an endowment fund to bulk up the city’s social housing stock.

Via Rail celebrates golden anniversary with $20M facelift BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
In an effort to make the Tremblay Road train station more accessible to passengers with mobility issues, Via Rail announced a $20-million facelift on Sept. 29. The day also marked the 50th birthday of the station. “It’s an architectural gem,” said Yves DesjardinsSiciliano, the president and CEO of Via. “We are very proud to make it our home in the capital and like most things at 50 years old, it’s time for a makeover.” The work will begin this fall and will run for a year – though DesjardinsSiciliano said every effort will be made to minimize the impact on passengers going through the station as there is expected to be an increase in traffic to the capital for the 2017 Canada’s 150th birthday celebrations. One of the key compo-
nents of the station makeover will be an elevated and heated passenger platform, along with the installation of elevators in the rotunda. The elevators will provide access to the tunnel and boarding systems. There will also be a new electrical room and an upgrade to electrical systems. An additional $1.7 million will be spent on partial roof renovations and other station improvements. Those funds will come from the federal funding for infrastructure announced in the 2016 budget. David McGuinty, MP for Ottawa South, said the move to increase the number of departures to Toronto to a total of nine trips is sound given the growing populations of Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal and Gatineau. “We are becoming a big region … and this train station is becoming a big part of our transportation system,” he said. McGuinty said invest-
ments in rail are part of the federal government’s greenhouse reduction strategy. “This is a really important moment for us as we anchor down with light rail and commuter service,” he said. McGuinty said he’s working “hand and glove” with the mayor about extending the light rail to the airport and Trim Road. Yves Desjardins-Siciliano said having level boarding is a “modern approach.” “In one year we will be in a position to offer our clients a completely new experience,” he said. “Once the renovations are complete, our facilities will be more accessible and mobility with the station as well as boarding and disembarking from our trains will be easier for everyone.” Desjardins-Siciliano added that there are plans to cover all four tracks as part of a second phase of renovations, but that work likely won’t take place before 2020.

Pet Adoptions
that probably need nothing more than annual monitoring. The older animals are healthy but beyond some people’s “best before” date. We think that they are great pets with years of health and love to give ahead of them. As we say about the older animals, “It takes a long time to get this sweet.” Moreover, the older animals tend to be quieter and more predictable than the bouncing balls of fur some people choose. To give them a little extra help finding homes, we feature our special needs cuties on Facebook and our other communications, and adopt them for half of the usual adoption fee. With our in-house clinic, we can assure potential adopters that the animals’ known health concerns are limited to the ones we’ve identified. Our health guarantee still applies, as does the free health insurance. I know that many people want to adopt a young and completely healthy pet. Rescuing a pet with special needs isn’t for everyone. It is for special people with big hearts. Pet of the Week: Penny (ID# A193188) Meet Penny, a sweet and loving dog looking for her new best friend.
MEET PENNY (ID# A193188)
Special Pets for Special People All the animals at the Ottawa Humane Society need our love and yours. But some need it a little more than others. Close to 10 years ago, the OHS created a special needs adoptions program to help older animals and pets with manageable conditions get a second chance at finding a forever home. Conditions may include food allergies needing a special diet, thyroid conditions requiring regular, though inexpensive, medication, or heart murmurs
Penny is a beautiful girl who is looking for a quiet home where she can develop a predictable routine. She loves spending time outdoors and would enjoy a big backyard or a family who will take her along on fun adventures. Penny can be a little shy around other dogs and would prefer to be introduced slowly to new canine friends. Does Penny sound like your perfect match? For more information on Penny 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:

Mayor OK with status quo on French services BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
François Baril, a member of Bilingual Ottawa, is hoping Mayor Jim Watson will come around to the group’s proposal. The group released survey results on Sept. 27 that suggests most Ottawans would be supportive of the city becoming officially bilingual. A survey conducted by Nanos Research of a sample size of 750 showed that 54 per cent support the idea, and another 13 per cent somewhat support it. The sample group was largely made up of anglophones, as 83 per cent of respondents were English speak-
ing. The Montfort Hospital, La Cité collégiale and two French-language school boards sponsored the survey. But Watson said the city’s existing policy is more than adequate. After the Sept. 28 council meeting, Watson called the city’s level of bilingual service exceptional, and said the policy is enshrined in the Ottawa Act, established by the province when the city amalgamated in 2001. “I don’t think every snow plow operator needs to be fluently bilingual,” Watson said, adding the city practices pragmatic bilingualism – using demographic information to ensure bilingual staff are where
they need to be. “We have many more fully bilingual staff that work in Vanier than we do in West Carleton, but you can get served in West Carleton in the language of your choice.” But Baril said it’s comments like that which show the mayor isn’t clear on the group’s goals. “I think our biggest barriers are misconceptions,” he said. “We aren’t asking the city to do anything differently. We just want the city to enshrine the policy in a bylaw.” Baril said the move would ensure that future councils would have to respect the level of service that’s currently offered. “The way the Ottawa Act is worded, it just says Ottawa
has to have a policy on bilingualism, which could be that French services are offered every other Wednesday in July. I am not worried about this mayor or council, but it would send an important message in 2017 about the distinct nature of the capital,” he said. Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury said he’s worked with the group on a compromise he thinks can be palatable to other councillors. He’s not interested in the issue being a divisive debate, and he won’t bring it up for a vote unless he has the support of 17 councillors. Baril said there are about a dozen or more councillors on board and the group will continue to meet with everyone to
METROLAND FILE PHOTO
Mayor Jim Watson said on Sept. 28 that he wouldn’t support a change to the city’s official bilingualism status. make their case. The Montfort Hospital and the University of Ottawa have publicly supported the initiative. “The management team of Hôpital Montfort wholeheartedly supports the Bilingual Ot-
tawa initiative,” Suzanne Clément, president of the board of trustees for the hospital wrote in a press release. “We invite the municipal government to recognize, as soon as possible, the bilingualism of the national capital.”

Audrey more than earned her quarter for this duty
O
ld Herman was there again to make another plea to Mother. Herman was a bachelor who lived alone in a hut of a house, deep in the bush off the Northcote Side Road. Mother was only in his house once. She said that was enough to last her a lifetime. The first time Old Herman came to Mother with a request was to ask her do to his laundry once a week, a job, he said, that would pay handsomely. Those were his exact words. Well, money was scarce and any chance Mother had to make a few extra dollars was not to be ignored. Old Herman arrived with his laundry in a couple grain bags and after tub after tub of boiling hot water and lots of sliv-
MARY COOK Memories ered soap, the water was still black as your boot. Mother got out of that deal in a hurry. This time he came to see if my sister Audrey would be interested in making a few a bits of cash to tidy up his house because his sister was coming to visit and he didn’t think she would be too impressed with what she would find. Poor Audrey was never part of the discussion. Mother said she was sure she would be up to the
job of putting his house in shape. Goodness knows she had lots of experience with housework in our house. Audrey wasn’t too impressed, but the thought of earning a whole dollar for a day’s work won her over and off she went with old Herman in his buggy on a Saturday morning. That meant most of the chores that day fell onto my shoulders. Well, the morning wasn’t half over when I saw

on the stove and knew it would take an army to clean up the place.” She paused for a breath of air. “As soon as I walked in the door, he handed me that quarter and said he was going to the barn to do chores and he would pay me the rest when he came in for his dinner, which he expected me to make, too.” Listening to Audrey was like watching a movie at the O’Brien Theatre in Renfrew. I was sure Mother would lace into her for quitting a job. Mother hated quitters. But she just listened and made the occasional clucking sound and nodded as Audrey described the hut Old Herman lived in. Finally, even though the day wasn’t half over and being a Saturday and all, which meant it was bath night, Audrey asked
Mother if she would mind if she had her bath then and there. Mother filled the old oval tub with water from the reservoir, Audrey stripped right there in the kitchen, threw her clothes out into the woodshed and sunk into the warm water. If Audrey had stayed the full day and came home with a whole dollar, it was understood that it would be handed over to Mother. As Audrey scrubbed herself raw with the face cloth and soap, Mother patted the quarter on the kitchen table, and said, “You can keep the quarter. Goodness knows you’ve earned it.” Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

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, it is time to be on the lookout for fresh financial opportunities. Set new goals for yourself, and put your finances at the top of your priority list. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, don’t bother attracting people through false advertising. Instead, be authentic and you will find you garner much more attention and adoration. GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, the universe is trying to send you cues this week. But you will only receive these cues if you keep your eyes and ears open. Things may not be what they seem. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, if you want others to open up, you have to start the conversation by sharing something from your heart as well. Make an effort to be more open in the days ahead. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, this week you have the strength and motivation to accomplish your goals. You will sigh with relief when everything gets accomplished on time and in order. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 This week you have a green light to spoil yourself, Virgo. It isn’t something you do often, so let loose a little bit and splurge on some luxuries.
LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, a dear friend or relative could use your support right about now. Offer a helping hand or even a shoulder to cry on so this special person knows you’re there to help. SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, make an effort to be a social butterfly in the week ahead. This will quench your thirst to be around others this week. Don’t be afraid to reconnect with old friends. SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, this is a great week to establish a financial strategy that fits into your lifestyle. If this involves revisiting your professional ambitions, then so be it. CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, don’t be afraid to shake things up a bit this week. You may not have time to mince words, so don’t hesitate to get to the point. Others will appreciate your candor. AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 It’s time to be your own teacher and become an expert in any subject you desire, Aquarius. Start doing your research and you may be surprised at the discoveries. PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, this week you might start seeing a platonic pal in a more amorous way. The affinity you share may be the foundation for a great relationship 1006
