Mohd Jamal Alsharif was just one of hundreds of people who came to city hall looking for answers. As the son of Palestinian refugees who fled to Canada, he is determined to sponsor Syrian refugee families desperately trying to leave their war-ravaged homeland behind and start afresh – and rebuild in safety. “We started a small group (of sponsors) by ourselves when we saw that picture of that small boy...,” he said, pausing as the tears rolled down his cheeks. Alsharif remains haunted by the images of Aylan Kurdi, the threeyear-old Syrian Kurdish boy – a refugee – who drowned after the overcrowded boat he and his fleeing family were on capsized in Turkey last month. “I understand that (experience),” said the Gatineau, Que., resident, who works in the Hunt Club community. “It’s very difficult to lose a child.” Others were equally as motivated to attend the mayor’s forum on Syrian refugee resettlement efforts on Oct. 1, held to connect potential sponsors with community organizations, faith groups and agencies, as well as access free legal expertise during a clinic hosted by the Canadian Association of Refugee Lawyers and the University of Ottawa Refugee Sponsorship Support Program. The event also coincided with the launch of Refugee613.ca, an organization that will co-ordinate the efforts of local sponsorship agencies and settlement organizations to ensure the city is ready to meet the needs of refugees who

come here. The organizations spearheading the new initiative plan to chip in and hire a co-ordinator as soon as possible. In the meantime, the website offers different ways people can help: sponsorship, advocacy, donating funds and volunteering. “Our city and our residents are committed to accepting and assisting refugees in our community, and as a result this will place significant demands on the resource of our local immigrant agencies and organizations,” Mayor Jim Watson told the capacity crowd in council chambers. “We need to work together as a community to help those who need our assistance.” Refugee613.ca is designed to serve as a virtual mirror of the forum, a one-stop shop with information and contact details for those looking to connect with organizations, from the United Way to the Catholic Centre for Immigrants. “It’s a co-ordinating, communicating, inspiring ... web portal,” said Carl Nicholson, executive director of the Catholic Centre for Immigrants. “It’s a way of trying to co-ordinate, to convene, to make sure we’re not wasting energy. “We think it will allow more people to know what they can do.” The website offers several ways people can get involved, including advocacy, volunteering, sponsoring and donating, and is another step towards ensuring Ottawa is ready to provide for refugees who settle in the city.

Nicholson said Refugee613 will ensure community services are not duplicated, so that more people can benefit. “We don’t want to have six agencies for training programs for sponsors on the same night,” he said. It’s too early to set a goal of how many refugees Ottawa can take in, but the city can accommodate more than the estimated 1,000 refugees who arrive here every year. That will depend on the federal government, which oversees immigration. “The latest numbers from the federal government were 10,000 refugees over a span of four years. Well, that’s only 2,500 refugees a year for the whole country. “So we think we can do more than that obviously as a country,” Watson said. “We want to make sure we take as many as we can and make sure that we have the capacity to welcome them with open arms when they do arrive

here.” For those who can’t commit to the approximately $27,000 cost to sponsor a refugee, they are being asked to donate to a newly launched fundraising campaign, Ottawa United for Refugees. It will allow more groups who are willing to provide sponsorship, but can’t afford it. “So by doing this citywide fundraising we can help subsidize or cross-subsidize those groups, to dip into this common pool of dollars so that we don’t have dollars and finances as the reason why we can’t use your good resources to sponsor someone.” Between the fundraising effort, the sponsorship assistance and the enormous crowd during the forum, Alsharif said he was heartened to see the mobilization efforts. “With all these people hand in hand, I think we can do something,” he said. “We need to act. We need to motivate people. “When I heard about this, I

Inaugual music fest wants your porch Continued from page 1

The imaginative event is the brainchild of musician and resident Ken McKay, who got the idea from similar events held in the United States and Montreal. It’s an initiative he’d eventually like to see spread to porches across the city. “About a month ago, I opened my mouth to the Hintonburg Community Association about this thing going on across America called Porchfest,” McKay recalled. “They said ‘Let’s do it – it sounds like a great community event.’” McKay, who performs under the name Ken Halen, knows that drawing artists out of the comfortable and safe confines of their basements or living rooms can have positive and unexpected consequences. He wants Porchfest to give artists exposure to those living nearby, and beyond. “You see people coming out of houses with instruments all the time, but you never see what it is that they do,” said McKay. “Musicians have been launched out of this thing who have never been heard of before. A person might have been playing for 20 years. “One Montreal guy got a record

deal out of a Youtube video (taken during a Porchfest).” Residents who want to register their porch for use as a stage during the event can do so up until Oct. 14 on the event’s website, www.ottawaporchfest.ca. unplugged

During Porchfest, performers will play acoustic or unplugged sets lasting 45 minutes, while respecting the family-friendly nature of the event. Unfortunately for some, the porches will be dry in more ways than one - a no smoking or alcohol policy will be in effect for the duration of the set. A listing of what performers can be seen and where will be posted on the website to aid music lovers. Already, McKay has received strong interest in the event, with a dozen performers signed up as of Oct. 1. Praising Ottawans for their enthusiasm for adopting “neat” new ideas, he said his hope is to expand the event citywide, or at least into a few more neighbourhoods. “This is the first year – we’re expecting to have fun, see what happens, and let it organically grow.”

Construction underway on new Bronson crossing Pedestrian, cyclist safety top of mind for road redesign planners Steph Willems

Steph.willems@metroland.com

A new signalized crossing on a busy stretch of Bronson Avenue should improve safety in the area. That was the aim of city representatives when they started the process for improved pedestrian and cycling safety in the area between Holmwood Avenue and Colonel By Drive. The move was spurred by the death of Carleton University student Krista Johnson in October 2012, who was struck by a vehicle while cycling on Bronson near the canal bridge. To accommodate the installation of signals, the northbound Bronson ramp onto Bronson Place will be closed until Oct. 19, restricting access to Colonel By Drive for northbound motorists. Capital Coun. David Cher-

nushenko said the signal will be operational by late November, though some landscaping work will continue next spring. He said the 2012 tragedy served to highlight numerous problems in the area. “When there’s a fatality, it always triggers a safety review,” said Chernushenko. “That led to comments from residents that mirrored what the city has heard for years – that it’s a challenging area, cyclists have to ride on the sidewalk, and students dash across Bronson because the Sunnyside crossing is too far. There are very high average speeds that are quite shocking. In a 60 km/h zone, it’s easy to see 80 or 85. It showed there are things we can do to help safety through design change.” The project is much more than just a crossing - rather, it’s a re-working of all transportation elements in

the area. The new signal and crosswalk will be joined by new sidewalks, bicycle lanes, multi-use pathways, streetlights and modifications. A T-shaped intersection on the west side of Bronson, where the Colonel By off-ramp exits, will slow down motorists, improve visibility, and make room for pedestrian and cycling infrastructure. Changing the alignment of the opposite off-ramp will have the same effect. Though the ramp closures will mean more localized traffic in Old Ottawa South and late-night construction noise, Chernushenko said the community has been supportive of the planned changes. “Their response was ‘this is a no brainer,’” said Chernushenko. “So far, so good – there haven’t been any negative responses.”

This overhead schematic shows the planned crossing for Bronson Avenue, just south of the Rideau Canal bridge and just north of the Carleton University campus. Construction is expected to be largely completed by the end of November.

Trouble Hearing?

No change needed to impaired driving limit To the editor,

The death of three young children and their grandfather by an alleged drunk driver in a horrific road crash in Vaughan, Ont. on Sept. 28 will renew the call by many to reduce the criminal limit for drunk driving to 0.05 blood alcohol level (BAC) from the current 0.08 level. Canada set the current criminal limit at 0.08 for impaired driving over 35 years ago. An internal federal government study in 2010 warns that lowering the bar for drunk driving convictions could overwhelm the justice system. The Justice Department says that courts, police services, and jails could be pushed to the breaking point if the federal government ever lowered the criminal drunk-driving threshold.

Canada’s practice of not using criminal law for drivers under 0.08 is in line with the approaches taken in other countries. Canada’s impaired driving laws are among the strictest in the Western world. Lowering the criminal limit would nullify many effective countermeasures now in place. If criminal charges were to be laid below the current threshold, that many more, if not all, would be challenged. A significant concern and risk in reducing the criminal limit below a point most Canadians would consider unreasonable is that it would encourage contempt, disrespect, and disdain for the law. Unquestionably, this would weaken the resolve of the criminal justice system - the police and courts – to enforce the law. Tinkering with this criminal limit could well open the doors to a barrage of de-

fence challenges! Frivolous criminalization will not protect the public. There is absolutely no evidence that charging low-BAC (0.05) drivers under the Criminal Code would prevent more deaths and injuries than measures now in place in provincial and territorial regulations. When it comes to dealing with impaired driving, the current administrative and criminal sanctions in place in Canada provide a well thought-out mix of effectiveness, efficiency and severity. Let’s keep it that way! What is needed is to increase the perception of apprehension, and to improve the system’s efficiency and effectiveness in dealing with impaired driving offenders.

To the editor,

The article in the West News regarding Sherbourne Road safety is one sided and a poor example of journalism. The reporter was simply regurgitating Ecology Ottawa’s view. The manifesto provided by Ecology Ottawa is a far-

fetched view of doom and gloom of biblical proportions, which is news to me as I have lived on Sherbourne Road since 1972. I do not have any problem with safety issues. Traffic calming designs that I have seen are ineffective, costly, and exude a slum area aura. The only issue on Sherbourne

is the traffic calming implemented at Fraser and Sherbourne. It is an accident waiting to happen! Perhaps, in the future, the author should review both sides of the issue before penning an article. Marcel Marcantonio Ottawa

OPINION

Connected to your community

Saying goodbye to a friend The city lost an icon on Oct. 1. Max Keeping was a reporter, a news anchor and he came into thousands of homes every weeknight across Ottawa and eastern Ontario on CJOH, later CTV Ottawa. But he was more than that. He could have lived a 9-to-5 life and headed home after the cameras shut down at the end of each newscast. But he was more than willing to do much more. Keeping knew he was considered a friend to his viewers. He could have capitalized on that by appearing in commercial advertisements but he made the choice to put full his effort into helping those less fortunate. Keeping backed charities across the region â&#x20AC;&#x201C; notably CHEO â&#x20AC;&#x201C; encouraging viewers to help too, all in that familiar, calm tone of voice. Who could fail to respond when a friend asked for help? So Keeping was iconic. But he was more because he was not just a celebrity seeking more fame and more notoriety. He saw that kind of opportunity

existed but made a conscious decision to take a pass because kids, seniors and so many others might benefit from his connection with TV viewers. An example that touched our reporting staff: one cold winterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s night in 2003, Keeping drove straight from his newscast to the old bingo hall on Merivale Road, arriving minutes after 7 p.m. simply because heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been asked to help out. He arrived to call out the final bingo numbers as one lucky player won a new car. It was all for charity of course. And the connection this city felt with Keeping was on display for all. As he walked in the room and gave his familiar wave, he received a standing ovation from the packed house. He was good for the city and the city knew it. He lived life to the max. The greatest tribute anyone can pay to Keepingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lifelong support of charities is to make sure the efforts continue. If you were inspired by Keeping and his mantra: do something to make a difference in anotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life. Max, you will be missed.

Toronto will just have to do

his is hard. But we might as well own up to it. A number of us in Ottawa â&#x20AC;&#x201D; probably quite a large number â&#x20AC;&#x201D; are cheering for a Toronto sports team. No, of course itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the Argonauts. And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s certainly not the Maple Leafs, except for a few who were cursed from birth with that affliction. No, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the Blue Jays, who are in the playoffs for the first time in 22 years, capturing the imagination of long-suffering local baseball fans. All the indicators are present: In a recent months Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been at Ottawa dinner parties where people were checking the score between courses. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been at cottages where people with smart phones prowled the decks and docks hoping for a signal

That ended after the 2004 season when the team left Montreal, and perhaps some of us have been waiting that long to find something to replace it. Not that they could ever replace the Expos, but the Blue Jays, as the only Canadian team left, have a certain appeal, which is helped

Yes, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bit icky, cheering for Toronto â&#x20AC;&#x201D; when was the last time anyone in Toronto cheered for us? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but it seems to have happened. And even if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bit embarrassing for National League purists to cheer for an American League team where the pitcher doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hit, still it beats utter indifference. Imaging living your life cheering for nothing. Soon it will be over. How soon is the big question. Could be days, could be weeks. And then we can revert to our traditional behaviour pattern of cheering for Ottawa teams, living and dying with the Senators, and letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not forget the new pattern of living and dying with the RedBlacks.

a Toronto team by thinking of it as cheering for a Canadian team. That will be easier once the American nationalism ramps up during the playoffs. And it could be an added incentive that the Blue Jaysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; catcher, Russell Martin, spent part of his boyhood in Chelsea. Much more should be made of this. The thing is, people need to have someone to cheer for, particularly in these gloomy times, and if the nearest suitable object happens to be a team from Toronto, well, you take what you can get. No one gets hurt, after all. There is certainly precedent for this. In fact, it is all around us in the federal election. Few people are ever completely satisfied with the candidate or party they vote for. But they cheer for someone anyway. And vote. If they are not enthusiastic about their team winning, they are at least keen on seeing the other

Hospital serves up poor food choices To the editor,

Re: “Councillor, Biagio’s team up to reach hospital funding goal,” Sept. 24. After weeks of almost daily visiting a senior member of the family, bringing him fresh fruits and vegetables, I wrote to the Queensway Carleton Hospital board of trustees, chief of staff and CEO to complain of the unhealthful patient menus, which are full of highly processed junk food and drinks – white flour pasta, pizza crust and crackers, white rice, sugar-laden drinks and flavoured yogurts – and the total absence of whole grain products and plain yogurt, the scarcity/tiny por-

tions of fresh fruits and vegetables and cooked/baked beans. These un-nutritious menus prolong patient recovery and necessitate the higher use of laxatives and expensive drugs. I hope people complain to the trustees about the lack of attention paid to the nutritional needs of all patients. The trustees are failing in their fiduciary duty to patients and the general public, all of whom are potential patients. Until the QCH replaces its junk foods with nutritious food, I will not contribute to the QCH. Irma Cohen Ottawa

Connected to your community

Candidates work for your vote

hat a long election campaign. But we’re finally in the home stretch. If you’re like me you’ve been watching daily micro-polling like a baseball fan watches sports stats or an investment adviser watches stocks. So closely do I follow issues and polls that I’m the constituent that candidates love to hate. Not to mention I work from home. The doorbell rings, a rap at the door and I bolt up the stairs from my home office, excited to see another human face. I’m giddy before I even open the door. Then I realise it’s a candidate! I hug him or her, (OK, I resist the urge to hug) and then hammer the candidate with seemingly irrelevant questions for an urban, young-ish constituent. “What are your thoughts on farmer subsidies as they pertain to food security? Are seniors OK? What’s going on with international trade with China?” Yes, I like to put them on the spot. Or so I thought, until one particular day when, among the 100 houses

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse

in my neighbourhood, an unfortunate candidate likely found over-enthusiastic me, followed by an even more enthusiastic work-from-home neighbour willing to answer the door. We may have misrepresented the ’hood. After the candidate’s visit, I texted my equally intellectual, under-socialized neighbour: “Did the candidate come? What did you ask?” His response made me realize my own shortcomings: “We talked about ISIS, refugees, daycare, income splitting, childcare, science, security, political divisiveness.” I wondered if the candidate took him for a crazy guy that works in his basement and ponders world affairs, or an educated and well-groomed voter.

“If the only doors that got answered in our neighborhood today were mine and yours, the candidates may wish they’d never come,” I wrote. But maybe candidates love us for being engaged, (and desperately in need of human contact), as much as their campaign managers hate us for keeping them on the doorstep for an exorbitant amount of time. This election campaign, I’ve had the benefit of doing something unique – interviewing, albeit by phone, candidates across a wide variety of ridings in Atlantic Canada and the Prairies, of all political stripes. Regardless of what you think of campaigns or the party platforms, you’ve got to give it to the candidates. Many have halted their businesses, given up jobs or taken leave without pay, all in the name of democracy. You could be cynical and suggest that they’re only in it to win it, but most of them won’t win and many don’t even have a chance, and a few of them know it. Yet they’re out their door knocking, riding buses in the rain, attending community events, listening to the concerns of voters.

If all elected individuals could be as active as MPs as they are during campaigns, Canadians may actually start to feel like they have a voice in political affairs. I used to think all MPs were cut from a certain cloth. But it’s not true. People have many motivations for getting into politics – and in the beginning, for rookie candidates – it’s often to really serve the public in some way. There are always long-term politicians that lose the silver lining, become overly partisan and egotistical, but when you dig deep, most individuals are motivated by something that transcends their own egos. They are motivated to make a difference. Candidates come from all backgrounds. I’ve interviewed lawyers, activists and business people, which we seem to think make up the pack. But there is more diversity among candidates than you think. One candidate I spoke to is an oncologist. Another one played in a symphony for half a decade. There are farmers and teachers, international aid workers, and one guy who spent 80 days in jail for stealing a ballot box and throwing it into the harbour. There are failed politicians, those in remission from cancer, individuals who admit to living below the

poverty line because of lack of jobs in a particular area. And they’re all out there, campaigning selflessly, listening to people, debating the issues, hoping they can have the honour of sitting in the House of Commons as our representatives. When I see the quality of candidates across the country, it makes me question our obsession with the party leaders. The leaders are the top salespeople for their teams, for sure. But at the end of the day, you have to be comfortable that the person in your local riding will go to bat for you. It’s one of the reasons I always have such a hard time deciding for whom to vote. It certainly helps when the candidate comes to the door. This is democracy, people power, at its best. In fairness to the candidates, they can’t make it to every door, although judging by their running shoes, they try. But you can get to the only poll that matters. If you need a ride, call a candidate. They’ll get you there. Advance polls are Thanksgiving weekend. Election day is Monday, Oct. 19. Your candidates may have lost their jobs to take part in democracy. All you have to do is take a few minutes to tick a box. So grab a Timmies and go do it!

Elementary teachers union resumes meetings with province amid labour dispute day’ on Sept. 30. During that protest, teachers adorned in union colours staged demonstrations before and after classes at their respective schools. Radio ads purchased by ETFO speak of the need for a different kind of provincial support, given that elementary students have different needs than those in high school. This ‘one-size-doesn’t-fitall’ message is in line with the criticisms made by Hammond following the Sept. 11 impasse. Though administrative duties were reduced, including the cancellation of field trips and most interactions with parents, classes have remained uninterrupted so far this year. However, the threat of rotating strikes has been made, and could kick off at any time – es-

pecially if the looming talks fail to produce an agreement. The Ottawa-Carleton District School Board has since posted information regarding Wynne Wednesdays onto its website. “There may be protests or picket lines at elementary school sites and administration buildings on Wednesdays as part of ‘Wynne Wednesdays,’” states the OCDSB. “Protests or picket lines should not adversely affect secondary students’ access to secondary schools. However, secondary school staff and students at Longfields-Davidson Heights and Earl of March may anticipate delays.” The board also posted words of caution about crossing a protest or picket line, including advice on keeping emotions or biases in check to ensure safety.

Talks have resumed between the province, the Ontario Public School Boards Association, and the last teachers’ union without a contract. On Sept. 29, the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario (ETFO) released a statement indicating that it was returning to the bargaining table on Oct. 6 in the hope of reaching a new collective agreement. The announcement came on the same day that ETFO filed an Unfair Labour Practice Complaint against the government and OPSBA on the grounds of failing to bargain in good faith. “ETFO has been ready to return to the table for two weeks to bargain a fair and reasonable agreement specific to ETFO members,” stated ETFO presi-

dent Sam Hammond on the evening of Sept. 29. “We accept this invitation and we look to the (Education) Minister to confirm where and when negotiations will resume.” Contract talks broke down on Sept. 11 after ETFO claimed the province and OPSBA walked away from the table after making an initial offer. Education Minister Liz Sandals later claimed that the offer presented to ETFO mirrored the offers accepted by the other teachers unions, which included a modest raise in pay, an extra professional development day, and changes to sick days. Since then, teachers at Ontario’s public elementary schools ramped up their work-to-rule campaign to a new phase, staging their first ‘Wynne Wednes-

Italian-Canadian community to honour Cpl. Nathan Cirillo Fallen sentry to be honoured at Oct. 25 memorial mass Staff

An Oct. 25 remembrance service will honour the life and sacrifice of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, the ceremonial guardsman murdered at the base of the National War Memorial on Oct. 22, 2014. Organized by the presidents of the Italian-Canadian Community Centre and the Italian Week festival, the ceremony and mass will take place at St. Anthony’s Church on Booth Street, beginning at 9:30 a.m. Cirillo, 24, was a member of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders of Canada. The Hamilton native was on sentry duty at the memorial when he was shot by Michael Zehaf-Bibeau, who was later killed by security forces while storming the

Centre Block on Parliament Hill. A military attache will join Ottawa firefighters, Ottawa police officers and members of the Knights of Columbus for the ceremony. A procession of dignitaries and guests will assemble in the adjacent Piazza Dante before entering the church in advance of a 10 a.m. mass. At 10:45 a.m., the procession returns to Piazza Dante for a wreathlaying ceremony. Following this, a public reception will take place in St. Anthony’s, sponsored by the Italian Week committee. For more information, contact Angelo Filoso, president of the Italian Canadian Community Centre, at 613-567-4532, or Claudio Pagani, president of Italian Week, at 613858-9086.

Ottawa team finishes third in City Chase nationals Orléans-raised competitor places third at City Chase Nationals Brier Dodge

tional championships, hosted this year right here in Ottawa. The qualifier event was a much shorter event which only took teams a couple of hours. Nationals however, took significantly more endurance. Read and Kelly – who grew up in Nepean – estimate they ran the equivalent of a marathon – 42 km – throughout the day. They were told after that the minimum distance teams who completed the course ran was about 30 km. Teams had to complete a variety of checkpoints at different locations throughout the city. The competition included figuring out the clues to find the checkpoints, getting from point A to point B with only their legs, OC Transpo, or in some cases, a volunteer city chase driver. Then, they had to complete the checkpoints to advance. Midway through the day, the last place teams were eliminated from the competition.

brier.dodge@metroland.com

If more than 16 hours of running, white water rafting, swimming, laser tag, archery, or eating 40 chicken wings in one sitting sounds like an exciting day, meet Alex Read, 27, and Matt Kelly, 26. The pair just took third place in the City Chase national championships on Sept. 26, a competition that had them complete checkpoints and run cross the city in a race against teams from across Canada. “It’s very similar to what you’d see on the Amazing Race,” said Read, who grew up in Orléans and attended Sir Wilfrid Laurier Secondary School. “But all condensed into one day.” The team, dubbed “The Alex and Matt Story”, took second place at the City Chase event held in Ottawa. The top three teams at events held across Canada qualified for the na-

Having the national championship at home definitely gave the pair an advantage. At one point in the competition, two out-of-town teams asked a bus driver for directions, while the local boys snuck off the back of the bus and high-tailed it to the O-Train. They beat the other two teams to the checkpoint – a mail sorting challenge at Canada Post – by about 15 minutes. The challenges were exactly that: challenges. There was a wide variety of tasks in the 24 events they competed in, from a mental test of 100 questions, to white water rafting on the Ottawa River, to jumping from a tall diving tower while throwing a ball into a hoop. Read said the most challenging checkpoint was a BMX track. They ended up taking a 10 minute time penalty because neither could complete the track in less than 60 seconds. A favourite though, was

flyboarding, where jets propel you up from a board out of the water while the participant balances. Getting to try so many different activities was the highlight for the pair. A lot of the things they got to do would normally require an admission fee or have a cost associated with them – so it was a free, day-long crash course in all the

different activities available in Ottawa. The other highlight, said, Read, was all the people who took part. Most teams advanced by finishing in the top of their local city chase, though there were some fundraising and social media challenge wildcard entries accepted as well. “We were all competing against each other, but we’re all

in the same situation,” he said. “Because it’s not a sprint – it’s a marathon. (I’d do it again) in a heartbeat.” With many teams competing year after year, Read said he sees himself doing the City Chase competition again in the future. “Once you start, you can’t stop,” he said. “You just want to do better.”

Drama ensues over drawing that vanishes into ‘thin air’

merson was raging mad. He was thumping around the kitchen, arms waving, and his face was the colour of his flaming red hair. “It was right there, I tell ya,” he said, stabbing his finger on top of a pile of notepaper. “I accidentally folded down a corner of the sheet, and I put it into this stack of papers to smooth it out, and I haven’t touched it since. Someone has deliberately taken it out of there, and it sure wasn’t me.” It had darkened enough that night in late September, that Mother had lit the coal oil lamps and one sat at either end of the old pine table.  With the exception of Father, who as usual was sitting in front of the Findlay Oval in his rocking chair with his feet up on the oven door, we five children were occupied with our favourite pastimes.  Mother was working on her scrap books, Everett was making a new sling shot, Earl was carving some animal from a piece of smooth wood he had found, and Audrey was attempting to teach me once again how to make French knots on the end of a flour bag tea

MARY COOK Memories towel. Emerson had been working on yet another one of his crazy drawings of a building with glass walls and an elevator going up the outside. He had drawn and erased the one sheet, and he claimed he had accidentally turned down the top right corner. To straighten it out he had tucked into the big pile of sheets already full of his crazy ideas of how his buildings were going to look when he became famous. And now the sheet was gone.  Into thin air.   And he knew for a fact that one of us sitting around the table had taken it out of the pile for spite! “And it was my best drawing yet,” he roared. “I even had glass doors on the building.  This was going to be a building like no one has ever

seen before, and someone in this very room has taken it right out of this pile of papers.”  And he closed his fist and banged it down on the pile of sheets before him. Nobody paid him any heed.  Emerson was always ranting about something, and it often had to do with his crazy drawings put to the paper tablets Mother bought for him on the one-cent sale at the Rexall Drug Store in Renfrew.   “Hours of work I put into that drawing,” he said.  It was amazing to me how no one paid him any heed.  Father never took his eyes off the Ottawa Farm Journal, Mother continued to cut pieces out of the Philadelphia Enquirer and paste them into her scrap book, and Everett and Earl kept right on doing what they were doing. Finally, Mother suggested he start at the top of the pile of papers and work his way to the bottom, just in case that particular sheet somehow got tucked into the stack.  Emerson said he had done that and the drawing was gone. “Gone, I tell you!  Gone!  And

when I find out who took it out of this pile (and he pounded the stack again for good measure) he’ll pay dearly.” stiff hands

The evening was wearing on, and my fingers were stiff from holding the needle and the embroidery cotton trying desperately to master the French knot, which as far as I was concerned was a lost cause. I knew I would never be as clever as my sister Audrey, and trying to teach me the fine art of embroidery was a complete waste of her time. I forced a yawn and asked my sister if we could put the embroidery away, and maybe take a look through the brand new Eaton’s catalogue, which had just come. It was sitting on the top of the ice box, and this time of year I spent many a happy hour going through the thick catalogue working my way from the corsets in the front, right through to the cream separators in the back. Audrey brought it to the table, put it in front of me, and told me to start where ever I wanted. I decided to

flip to the Christmas section...toys... candies...girl’s pretty clothes. Well! What I found, smack in the middle of the catalogue was Emerson’s missing drawing! There it was, as large as life. Emerson saw it at the same time. He slapped his forehead, his face turned even redder if that was possible. And in a voice barely heard, admitted to putting it in the middle of Eaton’s catalogue to straighten out the page that had a corner fold. Gentle Earl demanded an apology, Everett put a wad of paper wet with spit in his new sling shot and hit Emerson dead on, Father said a swear word in German, Audrey rolled her eyes, and Mother closed her scrap book, let out a long sigh, and ordered us all to bed. Another exciting night at Northcote had come to an end. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

New lane reductions in store for west-end motorists Staff

The month of October kicked off with lane reductions on Carling Avenue near Dow’s Lake. Construction work on the O-Train Trillium Line multiuse pathway extension will see one lane in each direction closed off between Champagne Avenue and Preston Street until the end of October. The reductions will only occur during off-peak hours. The pathway, which runs along the east side of the O-Train trench from Dow’s Lake to the Ottawa River, is being upgraded between Young Street and just south

of Carling, along with the construction of a signalized crossing at Carling. To accommodate the work, the pathway has been closed along that stretch, though the Hickory Street pedestrian bridge and its connection to Adeline Street remains open. Albert Street The long-running construction on Albert Street entered a new phase on Oct. 1, with one lane in each direction closed between Bayview Station and City Centre Avenue. The work, which will wrap up for that particular stretch on Oct. 23, involves fire hydrant service installation.

Albert remains subject to a large amount of construction between City Centre and Empress Avenue due to a water and sewer main installation project running concurrently with preparatory work for the looming bus detour. Starting in December, buses will begin being rerouted from the Transitway onto Scott and Albert Streets to accommodate the transit line’s two-phase conversion to light rail. The first phase will see buses enter the roadway between Merton Street and Empress, with the stretch lengthened to Smirle Street in April of next year.

Para Transpo aims to broaden base despite tight budget Emma Jackson Metro Ottawa

Just as the city prepares to tighten its belt, Para Transpo is considering how to serve more people with intellectual and mental health disabilities. Provincial accessibility legislation covers both those groups, but right now Para Transpo’s system de-

cides each case based on how well the person can use OC Transpo. When someone is denied, it’s often because their illness is fickle: someone with anxiety, for example, may sometimes feel able to take the regular bus, and other days not at all. This kind of ‘good day, bad day’ condition is hard to assess, and right now it’s not even part of Ottawa’s

equation. But it could be: Calgary has done it, offering several conditional categories. “Direct riders,” for example, use accessible transit only when the regular bus would requires a transfer beyond their capability. But Anu Bose, who participated in Para Transpo’s consultations, said all these good ideas were ignoring “the elephant in the room”: what it’s going to cost.

“We’re making all these wild demands without knowing what’s actually feasible,” she said. According to transit commission chairman Coun. Stephen Blais, the changes don’t have to cost more if current users can be encouraged to take OC Transpo when they’re able. “Then we’ll have more capacity within Para Transpo to transport those who have no other option,” Blais said. That’s certainly the goal for Catherine Gardner, who uses a mo-

torized wheelchair. She said there’s no incentive for Para Transpo users to transfer from Para to regular transit because they’ve already paid for their trip. She said bringing the Presto payment system into Para Transpo would encourage more cross-traffic. Creating a “hub and spoke” system connected to conventional transit stations would also free up space on accessible vans. “I see many, many people on Para Transpo who maybe should be on OC Transpo,” she said.

Math in English, more French sooner in immersion Brier Dodge

HOLD ONTO YOUR BRAINS,

e THE ZOMBIES ARE BACK!

The public school board will evaluate the way French immersion is run for kindergarten and primary early French immersion programs. The school board tabled a report from staff on proposed changes at the Sept. 29 meeting. The changes include: •Two-year kindergarten program shift to 50 per cent English, 50 per cent French •Introduction of 60 minutes daily of English (as a language and subject) in Grade 1 early French Immersion •Grades 1 to 3 students in EFI would study math in English instead of French Currently, junior kindergar-

ten students spend 20 minutes a day in French in EFI, and 150 minutes of their day in French (50 per cent) starting in senior kindergarden. Grade 1 shifts to 100 per cent of instructional time in French, with 80 per cent in French in Grades 2 and 3. English as a language subject is currently introduced in Grade 2. The report on the changes said that the lack of English in Grade 1 means that early intervention opportunities for students with learning difficulties are sometimes missed. In term of math studies, students currently start studying math in English in Grade 4, so the report proposes it makes more sense to have math in English in Grades 1 through 3 as well.

The board wants to implement the changes for Sept. 2016, so the goal is to have consultation done prior to kindergarten registration in Jan. 2016. Consultation on the changes will be done through electronic feedback, stakeholder meeting, and a series of consultation meetings in dual track (French and English) schools in the district. School consultations will take place on Oct. 13 at W.O. Mitchell Elementary School and Oct. 19 at Fallingbrook Community Elementary School. There will also be opportunities for school councils to give input. Recommendations will be presented to the English public board on Nov. 24.

Meet the Ottawa West-Nepean Green candidate: Mark Brooks before – I ran in the British Columbia election in 1996 … just that one time.”

Staff

Mark Brooks, 43, comes from a long history of political, environmental and social justice movements. Currently working in the federal government’s Department of Finance, Brooks also teaches environmental studies at Algonquin College, and once hosted a popular environmental radio show on CKCU. Born in Vancouver, he first ran for the Green party in the British Columbia election of 1996. Brooks works in the riding, but lives with his daughter outside its boundaries.

Mark Brooks is the Green Party candidate in Ottawa West-Nepean.

Q: Why are you running? A: “I’m running because I believe we’re on the wrong track as a country, and I think that the Green party offers some really innovative ideas and policy solutions that could contribute to solving some of the problems we’re facing today.”

Q: Detail your past political and civic experience or activism at any level of government or political party. A: “I never worked for a politician, just federal government experience – I’ve worked in several different departments. I have been involved with the Green party

SUBMITTED

Q: What is the biggest federal issue facing your riding and how has it been handled to date? How would you approach it? A: “There are a lot of firstgeneration communities in Ottawa West-Nepean, so immigration is a very important issue – it’s something we’ve seen in the news a lot, and it matters. The median age is above other ridings, so there are important seniors issues and transportation issues – the LRT going through the community is going to be fantastic, but some people have concerns. Pharmacare and a seniors strategy is something we’re hoping to address. The current approach to seniors has been unrelated and gimmicky … we need a more comprehensive strategy, with a national

seniors strategy that brings a housing plan, predictable home care support, and a guaranteed liveable income. A pharmacare plan would benefit seniors, and we’re advocating a national dementia strategy, as well as an expanded Canada Pension Plan. There are a lot of families in the riding, and job creation is a very important issue for them …the Green Party has a comprehensive strategy in that respect. We have a sustainable economy platform, which contains the national sustainable jobs plan, and we support abolishing tuition fees for universities and colleges.” Q: What are the biggest federal issues affecting the Ottawa region? How will you address them? A: “The current government has done a very poor job in investing in transit infrastructure. It’s a municipal issue, but the federal government

needs to be supporting cities … Generally, we can be doing a lot more. We need more sustainable forms of transportation, and transit is going to be a big part of that. Funding for transit is a huge part of the Green party plan. “The Ottawa River Action Plan, which the federal government has committed to and the city as well, we support that totally and would implement that. We have some serious concerns with the Energy East Pipeline, which is not passing through Ottawa West-Nepean, but it’s a concern for the Ottawa region. We need to see a very full and thorough assessment of the impacts of this pipeline should there be an accident … We have to ensure all the stakeholders are back at the table before any decision is made on Energy East, and a full, comprehensive environmental assessment.”

Q: Nationally, what do you view as the biggest issues facing Canada, and how do you plan to address them? A: “We fell that climate and energy policy – which are absolutely related – are going to be critical issues going forward. The federal government, in our view, has put all their economic eggs in one basket … and we think that is a failed policy. We all know that the oil industry is an important economic engine, but this government has been far too reliant on this industry, without paying enough attention to economic diversification. Canada is well known as a climate change laggard, we haven’t been doing our fair share, so we think we can solve both of those problems – economic diversification, job creation, a more sustainable economy with green jobs and green tech - while addressing the threat of climate change.”

Meet the Christian Heritage Party candidate: Rod Taylor Rod Taylor, 64, is the leader of the Christian Heritage Party, and a veteran of the lumber industry and CN Rail in western Canada. He spent five years as deputy leader of the party. Married, with two children, he became leader of the CHP last year. He doesn’t live in the riding, though says would move there if elected. Q: Why are you running? A: “The fundamental issues that are at the heart of Canada’s moral dilemmas – our society is really crumbling in a lot of ways, and we think it’s so important we’re willing to sacrifice some of our own life goals to help the nation come back to balance. The essential one that is at the heart of much of what we are involved in is the protection of innocent human life, from conception to natural death. Q: Detail your past politi-

cal and civic experience or activism (volunteering, campaigning, donations, employment) at any level of government or political party. A: “I’ve been a candidate four times federally and twice provincially in northern British Columbia, all for the CHP except for the time I ran provincially, which was for the B.C. Unity Party, which had similar values … I’ve been involved for more than 25 years with the Smithers Pro-Life Society in northern B.C., so we’ve been actively engaged in the movement – it’s not something that’s recently become a concern for us.” Q: What is the biggest federal issue facing your riding and how has it been handled to date? How would you approach it? A: “A number of federal issues overlap across the country – to me a federal

Rod Taylor is running for the Christian Heritage Party in Ottawa West-Nepean. MP carried federal responsibilities, and how you treat the most vulnerable in our land is still the number one issue … One of the areas that is a concern to Ottawa residents, with federal implications, is transit. We certainly believe in transit, and on a national level, believe in revitalizing

Q: What are the biggest federal issues affecting the Ottawa region? How will you address them? A: “When I run as a leader of a national party, I expect to be representing values held by Canadians across the country. Healthcare, how we handle our demographic crisis – we are a nation that is aging, and need to ensure seniors, especially in their final years, have proper specialized care. One of the policies we‘ve had for many years, is we’d like to see a thousand dollars a month going to families where one parent is staying at home to care for children … that extends to family care and a family care allowance. If there’s an aging parent or a

disabled family member who needs personalized care, no one can provide that better than a family member. That would have economic benefits and long-range social benefits. Q: Nationally, what do you view as the biggest issues facing Canada, and how do you plan to address them? A: “We are a voice, and that’s what I seek as a candidate, and in our party we have 30 candidates running – we seek a voice in the House of Commons to be able to bring our perspective, which is a family-based, historical perspective on which Canada was founded. We believe we are here for a purpose, that we have to treat each other well – if all people would live according to the golden rule, we wouldn’t need an army or police force. One thing we’re concerned

about is that our courts are creating laws instead of just enforcing them … throwing out laws for prostitution, assisted suicide, and abortion, leaving Parliament scrambling to fill in the gaps. One of the ways we would address that is with a process called the notwithstanding clause … we could use (it) to say laws could stay on the books for five years while we figure out to respond properly. It’s up to Parliament to make laws, not a nonemember unelected Supreme Court. On agriculture, we believe that Canadian farmland should be owned by Canadian interests, not foreign interests. On pollution, we’re concerned about toxic, man-made chemicals being injected into our air, water, soil, and many of us are concerned about the overuse of chemicals in pharmaceuticals.”

Many close races in Ottawa ridings: poll ‘ABC’ voters could put other candidates over the top Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

The race to represent the Kanata-Carleton riding is close if a poll commissioned by Ecology Ottawa is anything to go by. Support for the Conservative party is down by about 10 per cent in comparison to the results of the 2011 federal election, while backing for the Liberal party is up by the same number, said Graham Saul, executive director of Ecology Ottawa. “It’s become apparent that we actually have an interesting race shaping up in Kanata-Carleton,” said Saul. “We were surprised. Eight months ago I never would have guessed that Kanata-Carleton would be a close race. It’s closer than everyone expected it would be.” Conservative candidate Walter Pamic was leading Liberal candidate Karen McCrimmon by seven points at the end of September with a total of 44 points. The riding-level projections on the website threehundredeight.com had even tighter estimates on Oct. 5 – Pamic was in the lead with 41.2 per cent while McCrimmon was right behind with 40.2 per cent. Support for Green party candidate Andrew West and NDP candidate John Hansen remained “largely unchanged”

from the 2011 election, with five and 13 per cent support respectively. Saul said Ecology Ottawa, a non-partisan grassroots environmental organization, is not pushing for a certain party but said voters may want to consider strategic voting if they value environmental leadership. STRATEGIC VOTING

“If the environment is important to you, then the voters of Kanata-Carleton have the opportunity to make a difference in the coming weeks,” said Saul. “Not all the opposition parties are in a position to win in every riding – but all opposition parties have better environmental platforms. In Kanata-Carleton, your next member of parliament is going to be one of two people, Liberal or Conservative, and from an environmental perspective the difference is significant.” March rural resident Marjorie Edwards said voters in KanataCarleton should consider voting ABC – “Anything But Conservative.” “The number of pieces of legislation that have gone through in the last 10 years, I don’t think have been beneficial to Canadians,” said Edwards, who was once a member of the Green party but is now not affiliated with any party. “The purpose is to encourage people to seek out the most likely candidate other than the Conservative.” The Ecology Ottawa poll questioned voters’ willingness to switch their votes strategically. It found that 49 per cent

of Green voters and 61 per cent of NDP voters would be willing to change their vote. “If ABC voters co-ordinate their support around Liberal Karen McCrimmon, who polled 37 per cent support, she could well overtake Conservative Walter Pamic, who led with 44 per cent of decided voters in the poll,” said Edwards. “The Liberal candidate has the best chance, with help from NDP and Greens, to win.”

If the environment is important to you, then the voters of Kanata-Carleton have the opportunity to make a difference in the coming weeks GRAHAM SAUL

McCrimmon said she prefers the much closer results on threehundredeight.com, but just because the projections have her in a close second, she’s not taking a break from knocking on doors. “We’re continuing what we’ve been doing all along and that’s knocking on doors, every day talking to people,” she said. “It’s the one-on-one contact that I think will make all the difference in the end. “Some people vote for the leader or vote for the party;

some vote for the platform or for the candidate. Some people will be voting for change and I say that I am the candidate with the real chance to bring change to Kanata-Carleton and the country as a whole.” SURVEY

A request for comment from Pamic’s office went unreturned by press time. LeadNow commissioned Environics Research to conduct the poll through telephone surveys of 500 to 600 eligible voters in 31 federal ridings across Canada. Ecology Ottawa cosponsored the polls in four Ottawa ridings – Kanata-Carleton, Orléans, Ottawa West-Nepean and Nepean. In Orleans, the poll has Liberal challenger Andrew Leslie, like McCrimmon a military officer, leading Conservative incumbent Royal Galipeau 51 to 36. In Ottawa-West-Nepean Liberal, the poll has Anita Vandenbeld with a narrow fourpoint lead over Conservative Abdul Abdi. In the new riding of Nepean, Conservative Andy Wang leads Liberal Chandra Arya of the Liberals 40 to 34, according to the poll. Ecology Ottawa “wants to see environmental leadership from all its decision makers and representatives,” said Saul. “All the opposition parties have demonstrated more environmental leadership, taken better environmental positions and put forward better environmental platforms over the years than this (Conservative) government has.”

Strategic voting appeals to many Canadians Melissa MacLean

Oct. 19 is shaping up to be a nail-biter in Ottawa West-Nepean. An in-depth riding level poll released Sept. 22 by Environics shows Liberal candidate Anita Vandenbeld holds a narrow lead, with 39 per cent of those polled said they plan to vote for her/ Support for the Conservative candidate stands at 35 per cent, the NDP is at 20 per cent and Green at 8 per cent. With the outcome far from assured, every vote is going to count. In 2011, non-Conservatives shared out their votes among Green, Liberal, and NDP candidates, handing Conservatives a win. But it’s a different story this time around – one that’s generating a lot of optimism among local

Harper opponents. The Environics poll was commissioned by LeadNow, a nonpartisan organization heading up the national Vote Together strategic voting campaign. By gathering data on voting intention in potential swing ridings across Canada, Vote Together aims to help Canadians who want a change of government make an informed choice on election day. More and more are declaring themselves ready to vote for whichever candidate has the best chance of beating out Conservatives in their local ridings – even if it means voting for their second or third choice party. Six out of 10 non-Conservative voters told the September Environics pollsters that they were willing to cast such strategic votes.

As Canadians head to the polls on Oct. 19, make sure you’re prepared to cast your ballot with the proper identification at the right spot. If you’ve moved recently you’ll need to update your address, and if you’re a first-time voter you’ll need to register. Check your registration status, update your address and find your polling station at elections.ca. STUDENTS

Student voters can choose to vote in their “home” riding – where they live when they’re not at school – or the riding of their school residence. If voting at school, you’ll need to bring an official document with your local address on it, as well as photo ID, if it isn’t updated with your school address. Utility bills, letters of admission or a lease agreement will all work. If you live on campus in a residence, you might need an administrator to fill out a form attesting to your address – find

ID OPTIONS

You can show your driver’s licence or any other government card with your photo, name and current address. If your photo ID doesn’t have your current address, check out elections. ca for a complete list of alternative documents that can help you identify yourself. Here are some of the more common documents you can bring to the polling station (you will need two): • health card, Canadian passport, citizenship card/certificate or birth certificate • utility bill, bank statement or personal cheque • government cheque or income tax assessment • lease or mortgage contract • credit or debit card • employee or student card • Indian status or band membership card

• letter of confirmation of residence or admission form from a student residence, seniors’ residence or long-term care facility. NO PROOF OF ADDRESS

If you do not have photo ID or proof of address, you’ll need to bring two official documents with your name on them, as well as someone who knows you who can attest to where you live. This person must show identification and live in the same polling division. VOTING DAY

Polls will be open for 12 hours on Oct. 19, and there are four advance polls open Oct. 9 to 12 from noon to 8 p.m. Your advance polling station may be different than your election day station, so check your voter information card or elections.ca. You can also vote at an Elections Canada office by Oct. 13, or mail in your vote. The deadline to apply to mail your vote is Oct. 13.

Reaching the end Work crews tore down the last standing relics of six Glebe businesses that burned down following a Bank Street explosion back in April. Investigators determined the cause of the fire was arson, though no charges have yet been laid in the case. The businesses and community have expressed a wish to rebuild the retail strip like it was, once the insurance process has worked itself through.

Catholic school board hailed as leader in ‘digital ecosystems’ Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Kaylee Mak-Lin doesn’t know what she wants to be when she grows up, but she knows technology will be a big part of her future career. “I want to learn how to be an expert at (using technology),” said the Grade 5 student at St. Thomas More Catholic elementary school in Hunt Club Park. “I want to help people with viruses. I hear a lot of people are getting them now.” She’s only 11, but al-

ready she can work Google Chromebooks, tablets and has created a computer game. She even helps her parents with technology from time to time. “Sometimes they need help printing a picture,” said Kaylee, who has her teachers to thank for her digital fluency. The Ottawa Catholic School Board has been on a five-year mission to transform its 83 schools into ‘digital ecosystems,’ which is the reason why the school board received special recognition from the Canadian Education

Association during a ceremony at St. Thomas More on Sept. 24. Through the initiative, teachers were each provided with laptops, classrooms were equipped with LCD projectors and interactive whiteboards, policies were upgraded, libraries were converted into tech-friendly learning commons, and an interactive digital citizenship program was launched to teach students to use technology responsibly. See FORWARD, page 30

Tammy Doyle, a Grade 1 teacher at St. Thomas More Catholic elementary school in Hunt Club Park, watches one of her former students, Alexa Connolly, now in Grade 2, play a computer game and, at the same time, learn how to code on a school tablet on Sept. 24. The Canadian Education Association will spend the next three months studying how the Ottawa Catholic School Board is using technology at all of its schools to enhance learning.

City Councillor/Conseiller Municipal River Ward/Quartier Rivière Carlington Community Safety Night On Thursday October 29, along with the Carlington Community Association, I will co-host a Carlington Safety Night at the Alexander Community Centre on Silver Street. Doors open at 6:30pm, with presentations slated at 7pm. There will be trade-show style information booths from many community partners, as well as three formal presentations, followed by a Q&A. Your safety and security in the neighbourhood remains a top priority for me. Please attend. Carlington Health Centre to Expand The Carlington Community Health Centre, located at 900 Merivale Road has embarked on an expansion project. This provincially funded, locally managed health centre is a hub in the Carlington community for a myriad of both social and medical services. The building is over capacity and the plans include a renovation and expansion of the existing building which may also include a seniorshousing component. An expansive community garden, located on Coldrey Avenue, on CCHC land will need to be partially relocated. A public meeting is planned for Wednesday October 21st at the Alexander Community Centre starting at 6:30pm to listen to the details of the vision and to provide your feedback or ask questions. This is not a City of Ottawa project. That said, I will attend the meeting and plan to work with the Centre, on your behalf, as their project evolves. Rapid Bus Lanes to be Studied The City will commence three, year-long studies to consider modifications to three main bus corridors in Ottawa, two of which are in River Ward. These three studies are mainly of an operational nature and through these assessments the City will be looking for relatively low-cost solutions that would give transit operation a priority at intersections and, if space and opportunity permit, sections of dedicated bus lanes in the existing corridor. These smaller-scale transit priority studies are approved for undertaking through Council’s approval of the 2013 Transportation Master Plan (TMP) and the annual budget approval process. The TMP identifies the need to expedite low-cost transit priority measures within the affordable network along Montreal Road (between Cummings Bridge to St. Laurent Boulevard), Merivale Road (between Baseline and Carling Ave) and Carling Avenue (between Lincoln Fields Transit Station and Bronson Avenue). These measures are intended to reduce transit delays and increase the reliability and efficiency of service along these road corridors. One public meeting will be held by the City for each bus corridor in 2016. I will provide notice to the local community associations as well as other interested parties, once the details of the studies and respective timelines are known. Coldrey Avenue Traffic Issues Parents and caregivers are reminded to obey posted parking restrictions on Coldrey Avenue, particularly during school hours at St Elizabeth School. I acknowledge that there are insufficient places to park. However, the safety and security of all individuals, especially students, must remain our main focus. Ottawa Bylaw and Police have been on site to oversee and educate motorists (and local residents) and even ticket those who are endangering public safety.

Forward thinking needed to built tomorrow’s leaders Continued from page 29

Technology did not drive the transformation. Rather, technology served as a tool to support, enhance and accelerate learning, said Denise Andre, the board’s director of education. “You don’t start with the device,” she said. “You start with, ‘What is it I need to teach the student?’ and then, ‘How can I best use the technology to support that?’” The initiative came at a financial cost, made possible through seed funding from the Ministry of Education, and by saving money through several changes, including the closure of the board’s central library at St. John XXIII elementary school in Nepean and instead connecting its libraries online. The board also stopped an expensive Grade 5 robotics program field trip, and also

turned to web-based resources in place of some non-fiction materials. “We were channeling the money into digital resources instead of textbooks,” said Andre, who couldn’t provide the pricetag of the digital overhaul. “We still believe in fiction and reading but we wouldn’t be buying textbooks that would be out of date” in two to three years. The Canadian Education Association was “so impressed” with the school board’s transformation that it was chosen from among 35 school districts across the country to take part in a $50,000 three-month “Innovation that Sticks” national case study. Representatives will be visiting schools throughout Ottawa to learn how the digital transformation was accomplished across the school board. “I can assure you, what

you’ve accomplished is very significant, and not only significant, but actually rather quite unique in Canada,” said Ron Canuel, association president. Tammy Doyle, a Grade 1 teacher at St. Thomas More, said using technology to enhance learning is essential to preparing students for the jobs of today and the jobs of tomorrow that don’t yet exist. “If you want improvement and you want to prepare students for today then you have to be a forward thinker,” she said. Last year, her Grade 1 students connected globally with an at-risk class of Grade 10 students at St. Pius X high school in Nepean. They were tasked with writing narrative stories and the Grade 1s would provide feedback in real time using Google Drive, an online system that stores digital information.

The Grade 10s could also speak with and see the younger students by using Google Hangouts, a text, talk and video communications service that connects individuals or groups over computers and mobile devices. Once the stories were written, the older students used green-screen technology to craft movie trailers that they could tweet out and share with their parents. Through the experience, the high school students became much more engaged learners, said Doyle. “So that’s creating connected, creative, collaborative students,” she said. “Think about going into a job and having that skill set already. You’re a risktaker, you’re a communicator, you’re a collaborator, you’re a problem solver. “What employer does not want that?”

YOU WILL BE MISSED BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN

MAX’S UNRELENTING LOYALTY TO OUR CHILDREN AND YOUTH WILL CONTINUE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE FOR FAMILIES WHO NEED CHEO Max Keeping has been CHEO’s greatest ambassador and champion for the past 40 years. His presence on the CHEO Telethon each June marked another year of countless appearances at special events, hospital visits to raise the spirits of kids and families, and advocating for them nightly from the anchor desk. Max’s immeasurable love for the children of our community was recognized in 2003 when CHEO named a new wing in his honour. The Max Keeping Wing stands as a permanent reminder of his incredible dedication and contribution to CHEO and the difference Max continues to make in the lives of all children and families we have the privilege of serving. In accordance with Max's wishes, the new Max Keeping Fund for Kids has been established. This fund will ensure that his name and his unwavering support for children and families is ever present within CHEO and within our community.

R0013495803

On behalf of all CHEO patients, families, doctors, nurses, researchers and staff, we thank you for always being there for us.

Mission collecting turkeys for Thanksgiving James Kerr

The Ottawa mission is hoping the goodwill that surrounds the Thanksgiving holiday will include donations of turkeys for the mission’s annual Thanksgiving dinner. Once again, the Ottawa Mission is preparing for its annual Thanksgiving turkey dinner by urging people to donate large frozen turkeys to help make this year’s dinner a success. The dinner, which served close

to 2,800 people last year, aims to feed anyone without a home, food, or company on the holiday. “It takes between 80 to 90 turkeys to feed everyone who comes to our special Thanksgiving Dinner,” said Peter Tilly, executive director of the Ottawa Mission. “Our kitchen volunteers and staff are cooking for about a week before the special holiday event to ensure everyone who attends will have a delicious turkey dinner,” he said. “This

special meal isn’t just for people staying in shelters; it’s for anyone hungry or alone in the community during the holidays.” Turkey donations can be dropped off at the mission at 35 Waller St. Donors can also arrange for their donations to be picked up by calling 613-234-1144, ext 248. The Thanksgiving Dinner will be served on Thanksgiving Monday, Oct. 12, 11:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Ottawa Mission at 35 Waller St.

Emma Jackson Metro Ottawa

OC Transpo is raising its transit tax 2.5 per cent in 2016 as the transit operator faces rising costs and flatlining ridership. An early budget report released Sept. 29 asks staff to craft a transit budget that finds $24.5 million in new money while limiting the transit tax increase to 2.5 per cent. Between the $9 million extra collected through that hike and another $6.9 million more coming from fares, OC Transpo will still have to find $8.6

million in ‘efficiencies’ to avoid going into deficit. That process has already started, according to transit commission chairman Coun. Stephen Blais. He said five management positions were cut this summer, and the system is “becoming more efficient in how some of the routes operate.” But that hasn’t been enough to fend off a rising tide of extra costs. Insurance claims were much higher than budgeted in 2015, for example, and as warranties end on the city’s fleet of hybrid buses maintenance costs are

rising, too. “In order to provide the same level of service doing the same work on the buses, we now have to spend more money,” Blais said. Blais said more details about OC Transpo’s savings plan will come to the finance committee as part of the draft budget. He skirted the notion the transit operator is considering service cuts. “We need to consider making sure we have an efficient and affordable system for the highest number of people that we can,” he said.

Adopt a Shelter Dog Month October is Adopt a Shelter Dog Month, and the Ottawa Humane Society is encouraging its community to celebrate all things canine. How can you participate? Adopt The OHS has many wonderful dogs who are just looking for the right match; could that be you? So many dogs end up at the shelter through no fault of their own— changes in the family, a move, “no time”—and the dog ends up paying the price. Now, these wonderful canines are just waiting for the right, new family to say “we pick you.” When you adopt a shelter dog,

just how scary it will be. “So you can get into a real horror theme and that’s a big part of the fun … being scared while you’re in there,” said Jackson. “Why else would you escape?” asked Hu, a high-tech expert and former competitive gamer. “To fit into the narrative of escaping something you need to be escaping something dangerous.” Early testers of the Boom Room weren’t able to escape, though some came close. For those who want a quick exit before the hour is up, the door to the first room will remain unlocked. “It’s a delicate balancing act that you have to maintain in there so that everybody’s going to have fun with it, but not everybody’s going to get out,” Jackson said. The experience is $24 per person. Room Escape Ottawa is open Friday to Sunday and is located at 1860 Bank St. in unit 3B. For details, visit roomescapeottawa.com.

Their puzzle designs are a collaborative effort with Toronto-based Game Hive game and app designers, and future rooms – though still under development – will be multistorey. The directors are considering changing the Boom Room theme and puzzles next year to draw in players who will have already tackled it. “When you’re in the gaming industry or the recreation industry like we are, it’s just how far the mind can take it,” said Hu. Some escape rooms feature robotics, live actors and require participants to construct devices. Themes vary from thriller to horror, complete with gory props.

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 may be challenging to express your true feelings, especially when you fear what others may think. Just do what feels comfortable to you. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Take a sentimental journey with a loved one, Taurus. You never know what examining your emotions will uncover, and you will get to spend quality time together. GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, you can strike up a conversation with just about anyone this week. Your gift for gab makes you a fun person to have around and a welcome member to any new group. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, someone may catch you off guard this week and you don’t have your go-to plan in place. Worry not, as you will rebound quickly and bounce back in a big way. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, it may seem like everyone is hanging on every word you say this week. Don’t worry about performing, just continue to do what gravitates people toward you. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, although you’re not a big fan of the spotlight, this week you will be asked to handle a situation on center stage. You just may enjoy the situation, so don’t fret about it.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, share your long-term goals with colleagues and you may find some unexpected allies. Support can only help your efforts even further. SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, set personal feelings aside when dealing with professional matters. Allowing emotion to get in the way of your goals will only end up affecting you. SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, this is a great time to try something new. Whether it’s a new food or a new experience you’ve been looking to try, dive right in and enjoy the excitement. CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, expect to be excited by a budding relationship in the weeks ahead. Open up to friends or family members so you can share this positive development with loved ones. AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Waiting patiently this week will not get the job done, Aquarius. You may have to be more assertive to get things done. Others will understand and prove helpful. PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, a problem at work seems tough to crack. Take your time and try a new approach, and you will be happy with the results. 1008

Ottawa mourns death of Max Keeping Former news anchor was always willing to help charitable causes Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Max Keeping, considered by many as a community leader and champion for children, has died at the age of 73. Mayor Jim Watson’s voice broke as he struggled to contain his emotions when he announced Keeping’s passing in front of a packed council chamber during the city’s Syrian refugee resettlement forum at city hall on Oct. 1. A minute of silence was held in Keeping’s memory.

“It’s a very, very sad day for the whole city. Max was larger than life,” said Watson, who first met Keeping in 1982 when Watson was a student leader at Carleton University. “He was such a community builder, such a great friend to so many different causes and individuals. He was always a champion for the underdog and always so positive, even during his many bouts with cancer.” When Watson last saw Keeping about a month ago at a fundraising event, Wat-

Veteran news anchor and champion for children, Max Keeping, who anchored the annual CHEO Telethon for more than 25 years, passed away Oct. 1 at the age of 73 after a long battle with cancer. son said “he was still living life to the max, as he used to say.” He epitomized community and advocated for children and youth, including children in care, said Ottawa South

MPP John Fraser, who knew Keeping well for the past 16 years. “He work very hard on scholarships for wards of the Crown so he always brought to us, not (things) for him-

self, but for kids, whether it was through CHEO, wards of the Crown or children’s mental health,” he said. “He was able to help us give expression to the desire to do the right thing for our

kids. He brought people together.” Staff, volunteers and patients and their families at CHEO, where a wing was See MAX, page 35

named in Keeping’s honour in 2003, were also in mourning. “Today, Ottawa has lost one of its proudest ambassadors. Kids in our community have lost one of their biggest champions. CHEO has lost its most ardent supporter,” Alex Munter, CHEO president and chief executive, said in a statement. Keeping anchored the annual CHEO Telethon, the regional hospital’s largest fundraiser, for more than 25 years. He was first diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2003. It returned in 2010, the same year as his final CTV Ottawa News broadcast, according to the media outlet. The longtime community leader, who hailed from Newfoundland, was first named to the CJOH news anchor desk in 1972.

“He was in your living room every night,” said Fraser. Munter said the veteran newsman was a “constant presence during generations of tremendous change.” “To put Max’s longevity into perspective, by the time I entered Grade 1 in 1974, Max was already a fixture on Ottawa’s airwaves,” said Munter, who recalled going to work for Keeping for a couple of years when Munter was a CTV Ottawa commentator. Keeping remained a strong advocate for children, even through his own cancer diagnosis and treatment, said Munter. “This past year was very hard as Max lost his legendary ‘gift of the gab’ – but he never lost his spirit, curiosity or love of community. When I last saw him, the TV was tuned to federal election coverage and newspapers

were spread across his bed, the inveterate newsman,” he said. “As I gave him the latest updates from CHEO, he smiled and laughed – always happy at the success of ‘his’ hospital.” Keeping co-founded Child and Youth Friendly Ottawa, and established the Max Keeping Foundation, which helped more than 6,000 families over 21 years. The charity was dissolved earlier this year amid his deteriorating health, and the remaining $150,000 went to the creation of the Max Keeping Fund For Kids, an endowment fund at CHEO that helps families with expenses related to medical care, such as travel and accommodation. “There is no doubt that Max’s legacy will be felt by kids for generations to come,” said Munter. “Indeed, Max will always be a hero to CHEO.”

New robotics team geared towards west end students ‘We’re the only one who can accept anyone from any high school’ Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

There’s a new team in town where participants learn to build robots – but it’s so much more than that. Merge Conflict is a FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) robotics team geared at students in the west end of Ottawa. “We’re the only Ottawa-based community team,” said Carp resident George Tzavelas, one of the team mentors. “There are very few teams in Ottawa to begin with and we’re the only one who can ac-

cept anyone from any high school.” The group takes the place of the former All Saints High School team Astechz, which is not running this year. Tzavelas and his son Matthew, a Grade 9 student at All Saints, decided to engineer their own team after Matthew enjoyed being on the Astechz last year – and opened it up to all grades 9 to 12 students in West Carleton, Kanata and Stittsville. “My son wanted to join the team last year at All Saints, so I became a mentor. I had a really good time,” said George, who Submitted has a degree in electrical engineering and Team Merge Conflict is the first community-based FIRST robotics group, drawing its members from is a software developer by trade. West Carleton, Kanata and Stittsville, instead of from a particular high school. Merge Conflict is re-

cruiting members until the end of October.

‘It’s the closest experience to real world engineering’ Continued from page 41

“I decided to invest more this year to make it a wider experience. The way it’s traditionally worked in Ottawa is it’s run at the schools – because they’re run out of certain high schools only the kids that are part of that high school can join that team. We decided to start a community team based in the west end; we feel it gives a wider range for all the kids in the west end to join.” Team members learn much more than just how to build robots. They learn design and programming, about motors and controllers and wiring and gears, said George. But they also learn how to fundraise, how

to approach people and organizations and secure sponsorships, about financing and marketing. They learn about leadership and how to encourage others. “Kids learn lots of skills; it’s the closest experience to real world engineering and corporate life,” said George. “The kids also get experience in going to competitions, as a part of that they get to experience competing as a team. Even the spirit that happens within FIRST is a unique culture.” At past competitions, competing teams are always quick and willing to help their competitors if they need some piece of material or forgot a needed tool, he said. “It’s all about

trying to be helpful even to the people you’re competing against.” FIRST COMMUNITY TEAM

Merge Conflict is the first community-based team in Ottawa and it’s pulled a number of mentors from the former All Saints team, as well as recruited alumni from other teams who are attending university in the city. “We’re not a rookie team; we’re considered a veteran team because we have a lot of people who were with FIRST before,” said George. “They still want to be part of FIRST – it’s been so much a part of their lives.” No experience is necessary to join

Over the last three years, more than $839,000 has been raised through the EPIC WALK. Thank you for your extremely generous support!

the team, which is accepting members until the end of October. Merge Conflict is also looking for mentors of any discipline, and particularly those with experience in marketing and finance. “About 70 per cent of running a team is the administration and business part, and 30 per cent is building a robot. We’d love to have parents of the students join us as mentors. We think it’s a unique opportunity for them to share the experience with their child,” said George. “I’ve never experienced anything else that my child has been involved in that has that type of experience.” The team is searching for sponsors within the community to help

cover some of the associated costs of competition fees and building materials, as well as a facility where they can create their robot when building season begins. “We’re hoping we raise enough sponsorships to go to two competitions,” said George, which will cost around $9,000. Merge Conflict meets every Monday at the West District Library in Beaverbrook (2500 Campeau Dr. in Kanata) from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. There is a fee of $175.
