Proposed bus corridor hits road block with public BY MELISSA MURRAY
mmurray@metroland.com
Residents attending a final consultation on the proposed Baseline Road bus rapid transit corridor had more concerns than praise for the project. About 70 people attended a presentation about the Baseline Road bus cor-
ridor at the project’s final open house at the Nepean Sportsplex on Oct. 5. The city is currently working on the planning and environmental assessment study for the corridor, which will be presented to the transportation committee early next year. See CORRIDOR, page 5

The restaurant at the centre of a homicide investigation and more than 100 police calls for service is now closed. According to River Ward Coun. Riley Brockington, the landlord confirmed Suya Spot –where Abdi Jama, 26, was shot and killed on Sept. 25 in the Shillington Avenue parking lot – was closed on Oct. 5. The day after the shooting, Brockington sat down with the landlord of the building to discuss the restaurant’s past problems. “We had had enough – multiple years of multiple incidents, and I never thought as a councillor that I would be a champion for a business to leave, but this establishment had overstayed its welcome,” he said. Brockington said residents have told him they are relieved about the closure and ready to move on. In a Facebook post from the restaurant on Sept. 26, it suggests the pressure they received to close was because it is a “black business.” “I guess this is the prize (sic) we pay to run a black business and trying to survive,” the post says. “Allegations and lies have been made that are unfair and unjust.” Brockington rejected that idea. “Whether an Irish pub, a Canadian restaurant or a Nigerian barbecue place, (when) you have 100 calls from the public to the police, the police are going to investigate and put some heat on a business where there are problems for years,” he said. “I
reject any notion that the manager was making some comments about being unfairly treated.” Calls for service at the restaurant ranged from shootings, property crime and drunkenness to fire code violations and illegal liquor sales. Cameron Ketchum, president of the Carlington Community Association, said while some of the complaints around the business may sound NIMBY-ish, residents in the area were concerned about their safety. He added while there hasn’t been a lot of cheering since the establishment closed, they are satisfied there has been a resolution. “This won’t solve all of the problems in all places,” Ketchum said, referencing several violent crimes that have happened recently, including a shooting on LePage Avenue. He residents are also worried said such violence reflects badly on the community and the neighbourhood. Ketchum said he was disappointed with how the managers of Suya Spot responded to the problems associated with the restaurant. “They tended to isolate themselves,” he said, adding he was hoping they would be more proactive and be part of a bigger solution for the neighbourhood. Carlington does welcome businesses, including small businesses and he said they can be successful if they want to be part of the larger community. “This wasn’t about targeting a business, it was targeting a problem.”

Police are searching for a suspect following a Sept. 2 smash and grab at a Carlingwood Mall jewelry store. Around 8:30 p.m. a man entered the jewelry store and interacted with staff before leaving the store. He returned a short time later with a hammer that he used to smash a display case. According to police, he removed an undisclosed quantity of jewelry before fleeing. The suspect may have sustained a minor injury to his arm or hand, as there was blood left at the scene. There were no injuries to store staff. Police describe the suspect as a Caucasian male in his 20s, of average height and build. At the time he was wearing a dark baseball cap with a white logo on the front, sunglasses on top of his head, a brown jacket, blue button-up shirt, jeans and brown shoes. He also had a black bag slung over his right shoulder. Anyone with information about the robbery is asked to call the police’s Robbery Unit at 613-236-1222, ext. 5116. Anonymous tips can be submitted by calling Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

Corridor to be built in two phases Continued from page 1
The project proposes building designated bus lanes down the centre of Baseline Road from Heron to Bayshore, as well as having four lanes for cars, 24 bus stations, separated cycle lanes, new sidewalks and multi-use pathways. The project will be built in two phases – the goal for the first, from Baseline Station to Heron Station, is for it to be operational before 2031. The estimated cost is $161 million, but to move forward, the project relies on securing funding from provincial and federal partners. The second section is proposed for after 2031, but interim measures would
be implemented, costing about $7 million. If the project is built, Doug Warren, who lives near Baseline and Clyde Avenue, and his neighbours will have to make a U-turn at the intersection to get into their condo complex because the bus lanes would block access. “It’s pure stupidity,” Warren said. “You’re going to have 600 to 700 people doing U-turns everyday,” he said. Limiting access by having the bus lanes in the middle of the road and promoting U-turns was also a problem for resident Colleen BarnesScrive. “It’s very, very dangerous – you’re
going to be killing people,” she said. She added emergency vehicles will have a harder time navigating the new bus lanes. There were also concerns raised about who was informed of the meeting. Sue Paul, who lives near Baseline and Fisher, said she was one of only a few neighbours who received notice of the meeting. She said some didn’t even know about the proposed project even though consultations began in April 2012. “You’re dropping this into our neighbourhood and not contacting us about it,” she said.

The Baseline Road rapid transit bus corridor spans from Bayshore to Heron road. The city plans to complete the first phase before 2031.
Snow removal among concerns raised at final open house Continued from page 5
Before the meeting, River Ward Coun. Riley Brockington expressed similar apprehensions about the project. “My frustration is few people know about this,” he said. The plan was initially introduced through the transportation master plan that came out in 2013, but the last consultation was about two years ago. “Overall I am supportive
of the project, but people need to be aware that there’s a major road project being considered for Baseline. It’s going to change the look and feel of the road,” he said. “I am not opposed to the project. It’s (that) the profile has come off the radar. We’ve got to restart the motorboat here.” Paul’s property backs onto Baseline and she’s concerned about the city expropriating some of her land, and declin-
ing property values because of noise pollution and smog. With some land being taken from the Central Experimental Farm in order to accommodate the project, she said the plans are another example of how governments are trying to develop the farm. There’s a plan for a 15-metre buffer strip along the farm’s frontage to protect against wind, erosion, snow and salt spray. Several residents also raised

questions about snow removal, not only on the street, bus and bike lanes, but also where residents would put snow shovelled from their driveways if land is expropriated from their properties for the project. Jabbar Siddique, a city senior project engineer, said logistics will have to be worked out, but the route might need more regular snow removal and not just plowing. In total 173 residential prop-
erties will be affected by the project: 15 will be required in full, 44 commercial properties will also be affected, as well as 10 federal and provincial properties. Ken LaRose, who lives near Baseline and Southwood Drive, will have a corner taken from his property when the corridor is built. He wanted to know when discussions about acquisition would start. “I don’t want my kids having to
argue with you people,” he said. But negotiations won’t begin until funding for the project is secured. The new route is supposed to shave up to 11 minutes of commute time off in each direction. More than 10,000 riders per day are expected to use the corridor once built, according to city documents. -With files McCracken

My name is Philipp and I am a Grade 11 student at Longfields-Davidson Heights Secondary School, but for the next few months I will also be reporting on the communities that enrich the city of Ottawa as a whole. As a part of my high school studies, I have chosen the cooperative education program to gain experience in the field of journalism; this is a profession I would like to explore more in depth in my future. I am grateful to be given such an opportunity to gain experience in the field of journalism, as well as being surrounded by motivational and professional reporters and editors, who can provide advice while I am with Metroland Media. Some of my courses at LongfieldsDavidson Heights are writing-based classes, as well as communication technology (photography and journalism). Upon completion of high school I plan to go to Carleton University, where I will seek a degree in journalism, with a minor in entrepreneurship. I am also planning to create my own media organization after graduation, where I can comment on the latest political and top stories in Canada. Along with my school basedtraining, I have more than five years of journalism knowledge through many of my news blog posts, on my own website entitled Dooda Chatter (www.doodachatter.com). It is a nonprofit organization that I established three years ago and which is dedicated to providing high quality news coverage of local, national, and even worldwide events. As a resident of Nepean, I value the Nepean-Barrhaven community greatly. I have lived in the area for more than a decade, and have been informed on many of the paramount political, and social events that are organized annually. I have also received many compliments on my fundamental writing skills, as well as my political analytical knowledge. Through my experience I have developed cohesive knowledge that should assist me through my journalism career, here at Metroland Media’s community newspapers and beyond. In my spare time, I attend the Rideau Canoe Club where I follow

yet another interest of mine — water sports — primarily kayaking. It is an enjoyable pastime. Occasionally I compete in regatta races – mainly in the summer and occasionally my family and I go on a leisurely paddle along the Rideau River. Another hobby of mine is cycling. I mostly bike near the downtown area, relishing the beautiful weather near Mooney’s Bay, as well as the wildlife. I am deeply honoured to be a journalist with Metroland Media for the next three months, and vow to provide readers with accurate news coverage that will keep residents of Ottawa informed and connected to their communities.

Transit plan just the ticket
G
ood ideas sometimes get shot down because many of us can’t think in the long term. Humankind would never have visited the moon if short-term thinkers had held sway in the American government in the 1960s. While Ottawa’s long-term transit plans aren’t quite on par with a moonshot, the possible revival of plans to expand bus rapid transit deserves widespread support. Ottawa’s Transitway has shown that when the massive expense of a subway line can’t be supported by the current population, bus rapid transit is a viable option. There are plans being revived for bus lanes down the middle of Heron and Baseline roads, creating a link from the O-Train station on Heron to the future light rail station at Bayshore. A subway would be nice – and cost billions of dollars – but faster bus commutes
at a total cost of $200 million fits the bill. It may seem like a lot of cash, but it pales compared to the cost of expanding the city’s roads to accommodate the seemingly never-ending flow of new cars on the road each year. And remember that even if you don’t think you’d use such a public system, every new rider on a bus or subway is one fewer driver clogging up your travel route. The best case scenario for bus rapid transit on Heron and Baseline would see the lanes constructed so they may be converted to rail or streetcars at a later date – when demand increases. Ottawa’s Transitway and our many kilometres of bus lanes have kept this city moving for decades. If municipal politicians 30 or 40 years ago had failed to see the possibilities, all of us would be spending much more time stuck in traffic today. Kudos to the planners for dusting of a bus rapid transit plan our future selves will value.
No doubt: poverty is in our midst

any mornings I wake up and neglect to feel grateful for the basics in my life: the coffee brewing on the timer in the kitchen, access to Internet and a roof over my head. These are all material, of course. I’m also extremely grateful for the health and well-being of my family, and that I have the means to feed them today. For many in Canada, that’s not the case. It’s easy to turn a blind eye to the poverty that exists at every corner. But the reality remains that as middle-class families contemplate the purchase of a second vehicle or a weekend at the cottage, one in eight Canadians is currently living in poverty. Oct. 17 is the United Nations International Day for the Eradication of Poverty. Poverty is a difficult concept to

Do adults, children and families have enough money for the basic necessities of life – shelter, food, water and clothing?

birth has an enormous impact on our chances of living life free of poverty. Half of all status First Nations children live in poverty; people with disabilities are twice as likely to live in poverty as those without disabilities; more than one in five single mothers live in poverty. Among those who are homeless, nearly half are estimated to have a disability, including debilitating mental health issues. It’s easy to recommend magic bullet solutions, such as a universal basic income for all Canadians. But with the complexities of poverty, a report released in early October from left-wing think tank, the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives (CCPA), suggests a no-strings attached program may not be the way to go.

government, a universal model in its most basic form doesn’t discriminate by income. This would inevitably see funding withdrawn from existing poverty-reduction programs, suggest the report authors, to subsidize the wealthy. The CCPA report highlights instead a more targeted approach, which would identify those living below the poverty line – including people among the working poor – and offer specific non-taxable benefits. Beyond basic income, however, there are inequalities built into our social system. Three years ago, the Canadian Medical Association (CMA) cited poverty as the No. 1 barrier to good health. The report highlighted Canada’s appalling record, with a poverty rate three times higher than comparable countries such as Sweden, Norway and Finland. Among the recommendations from the CMA was a minimum guaranteed income of the sort that’s currently being discussed at federal EDITORIAL: MANAGING EDITOR: 5IFSFTB 'SJU[ UIFSFTB GSJU[!NFUSPMBOE DPN NEWS EDITOR: /FWJM )VOU OFWJM IVOU!NFUSPMBOE DPN REPORTER/PHOTOGRAPHER: .FMMJTTB .VSSBZ NNVSSBZ!NFUSPMBOE DPN

Other recommendations included a national food security program, federal investments in health insurance and a focus on lifting children out of poverty, something which successive governments have promised, yet failed to deliver decade after decade.

New book illustrates history of farm gardens BY MELISSA MURRAY
mmurray@metroland.com
A new book has bloomed out of the Central Experimental Farm’s ornamental gardens. Written by local author Richard Hinchcliff – Blooms, an Illustrated History of the Ornamental Gardens at Ottawa’s Central Experimental Farm – the book is the Friends of the Farm’s contribution to Canada’s 150th anniversary. But its release highlights another anniversary; 125 years ago, the first director of experimental farm, William Saunders, planted the first rose garden. Not long after that, Hinchcliff said, residents from Ottawa began visiting the farm to take in the gardens. “It has been popular ever since,” he said. “There are all these madein-Ottawa flowers that not many people are aware of. They were hybridized especially for Canadian gardeners and bred at the farm.”
RICHARD HINCHCLIFF Some of those creations include the Preston lilacs, created by Isabella Preston, a world-renowned breeder who worked on the farm from 1920 to 1946, and the Explorer series of roses, created by farm researchers. “There’s so many interesting stories about the people involved,” Hinchcliff said. He’s found many of them throughout his five years working on the book. One of his favourites is about a Second World War Japanese admiral.
He was invited to the United Sates through a type of post-war friendship program and when asked what he wanted to see, he set his sites north. He wanted to meet Preston at the Central Experimental Farm. “He was a lily lover and her fame had spread that far,” Hinchcliff said. The book contains some of Hinchcliff’s recent photographs of the gardens, as well as historic photos that show how the farm has grown. The book has two parts: the first is a chronological history of the gardens and how research, education and beauty have transformed the gardens for more than 125 years, the second looks at the individual floral collections bred at the farm. “I hope it helps people become more aware of the ornamental gardens and the history and the unique plants that were developed in Ottawa at the farm.” In a release, president of the Friends of the Central Experimental Farm, Judy Dodds,

Back to the Future bash raises $16,300 for Queensway Carleton’s ACE unit BY MEGAN DELAIRE mdelaire@metroland.com
Without a flux capacitor, organizers of a Back to the Future-themed fundraiser hosted in Bells Corners in May for the Queensway Carleton Hospital Foundation had to wait until after the event to find out how successful it was. Well, the numbers are in. Nearly five months later, the city councillors who hosted the Enchantment Under the Sea fundraiser say the event far exceeded their expectations. On Oct. 3, College Coun. Rick Chiarelli and Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson presented hospital staff with a cheque for $16,310. “It was more than double what we set out to raise, so that’s really good,” Chiarelli said. “And it was an extremely successful evening with all sorts of Back to the Future fans from all over the city there.”

The event included live and silent auctions, live entertainment and a three

course meal, and brought more than 100 guests to 1951 West Kitchen and Bar on
Robertson Road in support of the hospital. The funds raised that
night will go toward the hospital’s new Myers Automotive acute care of the elderly unit, known as the ACE unit, which is scheduled to open on Oct. 14 and will begin accepting patients in November. Designed to help elderly patients who are facing more complex challenges than the general population, the new unit will use state of the art equipment and a holistic approach when treating illness and injury. When it opens, it will be the second unit of its kind in Ontario, and the first in Ottawa. Chiarelli said getting residents across the city involved in fundraising for the unit is an important way for the hospital to engage the families and individuals who will benefit from the unit as they age. “Every family should think about making a contribution because every family is going to use this unit at some point in the foreseeable future,” Chiarelli said.
Wilkinson said although the centre is in Nepean, residents in Kanata should feel equally invested in its development since the hospital serves a large portion of Ottawa’s western communities. “A lot of people in Kanata support it, as well as in Nepean,” Wilkinson said. “Because it’s a hospital for all of us in the west end and it has been used by our family and every family around here over time, and we’ve really appreciated having it.” Contributions from the May 11 event bring the hospital slightly closer to raising the last $400,000 needed for the $12-million unit, but there is still some work to do. “We certainly have all the basic equipment,” said Cathie Gray, clinical lead for the ACE unit. “We’re still fundraising that last $400,000, but I think we’ll be ready to go for patients, and I think that as the money comes in we’ll be buying more of the equipment that’s suitable for the age population.”
Fundraising campaign launched for winter trail BY MELISSA MURRAY
mmurray@metroland.com
Instead of a blustery, vacant, unappealing pathway, Dave Adams is hoping to fulfill his dream of making the Sir John A Macdonald multiuse path an urban winter trail all season long. But he needs a little help. Before the first snowflakes even fly, a crowdfunding campaign for the trail has begun and has already raised almost half of its goal of $20,000. “I’m starting with the community,” said Adams, who will be the trail’s head groomer, of his fundraising effort. “This is a communitydriven initiative and if we want it, together let’s make it happen.” So far $8,340 has been raised by 119 contributors. The money will help pay for a full season of grooming and new equipment for the 16-kilometre trail, which will be open from the Canadian War Museum to Dominion Station. In total, the project will cost about $50,000 this year – which includes the cost of the groomer and snowmobile. The trail crosses through Westboro Beach, Island Park, Champlain Park forest trails, Remic Park, Lemieux Island crossing and by the Prince of Wales train bridge. After a successful pilot project last winter initiated by the Westboro Beach Community Association and with the National Capital Commission, Adams said the project was something he couldn’t walk away from. “The greatest compliment someone can pay a groomer is to use their trail,”
Adams said. And they did. In one hour, last winter, there were more than 216 users on the pathway. “It was crazy busy,” he said of the pilot project, which had him bring equipment in from Nakkertok Ski Club to groom the trail. After that success, he approached Dovercourt Recreation Centre to be a partner in the project and to sign the agreements with the NCC to make the trail a reality this winter. “This is about taking a community member’s dream and making it real,” said Stephen Nason, Dovercourt’s senior director of programs. “In the winter, we are watching this resource go nowhere.” Dovercourt plans to add programming to the trail, including ski lessons and potentially a ski club. Nason said they’ll also look at opportunities to add programs for people who want to try fat-tire biking. “Help us build this trail and then we’ll program the heck out of it and have a lot of fun,” he said. Even if they can’t meet their fundraising goals, the trail will be groomed until the money runs out, Nason said. The trail would be groomed three to four times per week from December to March. With machine-groomed classic ski tracks and a packed centre, the trail will bwe multi-use for everything from skate-skiing, walking, running and fat-tire cycling. To fund the remaining $30,000, Adams is looking for retail and corporate sponsors, as well as businesses that

In one hour, last winter, there were more than 216 people using the Sir John A Macdonald winter trail during a pilot project. This year, groomer Dave Adams and Dovercourt are raising money to have the groomed trail open all season. might want to set up shop along the trail, renting skis or other services. Adams is also spending time looking for grants and writing proposals to help fund the project. “We need help from everybody,” he said, adding the project has become one backed by many volunteers
and community organizations. The deal with the NCC would last three years, with a possible two-year extension. While the 16-kilometre trail is the goal for this winter, Adams is hoping ultimately the trail could be extended to Mud Lake, the Nepean Sailing Club and Kanata and
even east towards the Chateau Laurier. He’d also like to see a similar trail on the Quebec side. “We need to prove what we can do, but I think Ottawa can make better use of its wintertime bike paths and give everyone the opportunity to get outside,” Adams said.
“In the grand scheme of things, buying a little grooming equipment for the benefit of so many, I find so compelling,” he said. To contribute to the online funding campaign, visit https://fundrazr.com/SJAM. Winter.Trail or donate in person at the Dovercourt Recreation Centre.

Police looking for youth to join advisory committee BY BRIER DODGE brier.dodge@metroland.com
Ottawa police are recruiting more young people to join their youth advisory committee. Formed in 2012, the committee brings together approximately 20 youth who are 13 to 24 years old from across the city for monthly meetings at the Elgin Street police station and for a variety of community projects. “They have two roles,” said Jessica Ripley, a police civilian employee in charge of the committee. “One is to be a voice for the youth in the community. They’re a diverse group of young people from all over, and our hope is they bring the voice of young people. The other role they play is to be a resource internally for the service.” The group played a resource role when the robbery unit said there was a spike in cell phone robberies. The youth prepared a cell phone robbery outreach campaign and designed materials that were distributed in schools. Const. Phil Charbonneau,
24, joined the youth committee the first year it was formed. The then-teenager from Orléans learned how youth can connect differently with other youth, instead of uniformed officers. “The uniform can be intimidating, so showing up as a youth to those chat sessions just really eases the mood and gives the youth a more open and relaxed forum to talk about how they really feel, and not feel like they have to hold back,” Charbonneau said. The youth have responded to the community when the youth specifically needed to connect. “After a number of shootings in Lowertown, they did a session for the adults in the community,” Ripley said. “And the youth in the community said, ‘Hey, what about us? We have concerns too.’ So we went in, and did a separate session in Lowertown with their youth.” RECRUIT
Now, the youth advisory committee is looking for more members.
In 2012, Charbonneau said he joined because it was a good opportunity to see a side of policing he didn’t really know. Usually, police were seen in high schools when something bad would happen. With an interest in joining the police force himself, he learned about the different units, participated in police ride-alongs, and in December 2015, he was hired by the Ottawa police. He now works in the central district. He’s still involved with the youth advisory committee, just now as a police officer, and remains friends with many of those he met on the committee. “As a kid who grew up in Orléans, I only got to know the Orléans area. So meeting these youth from different regions really widens your perspective from what really is going on in the community, and how different parts of the community are dealing with issues differently,” he said. “I’m still a part of it to this day, so it’s something I really believe in.” Ripley said those who want to join are asked to give a mini-

Members make a one year committment to be on the committee. mum of a year commitment, though she still has members of the original 2012 group participating. Beyond the monthly meetings, the commitment level depends on each individual and their schedule, she said. There are a variety of chat sessions, community events such as Police Week, and fundraisers such as a sleepout for the
Youth Services Bureau coming up. “If you have any kind of interest in your community, in policing, in helping young people better understand policing or building better relationships or bridges, I think it’s a great opportunity to do that,” Ripley said. “Instead of complaining about something, it’s a great opportunity to be proactive
and constructively do something about it.” Applications for the youth advisory committee are open until Oct. 14. Applicants are required to fill out a short application, and provide one reference such as a teacher, employer or youth worker. The application can be found at https://www.surveymonkey. com/r/3QTKBBV.

A 34-year-old man has been charged with firstdegree murder following an Oct. 6 fatal stabbing on Rosenthal Avenue, in the Carlington neighbourhood. Police issued a statement saying the man wanted for the murder of Mitch Paquette, 55, was considered armed and dangerous. He later turned himself into po-
lice. Police responded to the call of a stabbing in the 1400 block of Rosenthal Avenue on Oct. 6 around 6:15 p.m. On arrival, police found the victim, and he later died at the Ottawa Hospital because of his injuries. This is the second homicide in the neighbourhood since Sept. 26, when Abdi Jama, 26, was shot and killed on Shillington Avenue outside the Suya Spot restaurant, which has since closed.
There was another shooting in the area, on LePage Street on Oct. 5, where officers discovered that a round had gone through a door and lodged into frame on a wall. Anyone with information about this homicide is asked to contact major crime at 613-236-1222, ext. 5493. Anonymous tips can be submitted by calling Crime Stoppers toll-free at 1-800222-8477.

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 speaking. The Montfort Hospital, La Cité collégiale and two Frenchlanguage 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,
MAYOR JIM WATSON 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 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 Ottawa 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.”

Murals highlight Ottawa’s rich canal history Two new murals highlight Ottawa’s history along the Rideau canal BY MICHELLE NASH BAKER michelle.nash@metroland.com
Two new murals highlight Ottawa’s history along the Rideau Canal. The city unveiled two murals installed on Ottawa underpasses on Queen Elizabeth Drive and Colonel By Drive under the Laurier Avenue Bridge on Oct. 6. This is the third year of the city’s Murals on Underpasses program has been connecting local artists with the task to help beautify the city. “These underpasses are key gateways to Ottawa’s downtown, and it’s only fitting that the artists have celebrated the historical and social significance of the Rideau Canal,” said Mayor Jim Watson. “These murals are fun and whimsical and yet help document Ottawa’s
unique communities and their histories.” Somerset Ward Coun. Catherine McKenney and Rideau-Vanier Ward Coun. Mathieu Fleury attended the unveiling. THE MURALS
On Queen Elizabeth Drive, artists Cassandra Dickie and Dodo Ose created a mural with a surrealist approach to the evolution of the Rideau Canal. According to the city, this mural is inspired by a combination of double exposure photography and watercolour technique. Large historical images and smaller detailed contemporary scenes reflect a journey down the canal, from nature to urban sprawl, summer to winter, and past to present. On Colonel By Drive, art-

Report claims Ottawa’s gang strategy is working BY MICHELLE NASH BAKER michelle.nash@metroland.com
A new report on a strategy to help keep young men and women from joining gangs claims the strategy is working – but it does take time. Crime Prevention Ottawa presented the draft report on Oct. 3 and executive director Nancy Worsfold said the report, which looks at the first three years of working towards finding solutions to street-level violence, indicates the work the community is doing is having an impact – but it is a complex issue. “While we feel we are making progress, there is a complexity of issues,”
Worsfold said. According to the report, the Ottawa Gang Strategy offered a roadmap to help the city address gangs and streetlevel violence. The partnership, made up of social service agencies, community organizations, police, schools and others, developed and implemented 12 initiatives that aimed to address the problem from every angle. The Ottawa Gang Strategy steering committee was formed, with Worsfold saying members were drawing on their expertise, knowledge of the issues, networks, resources and determination to work collectively to address the problem.
The report states there are eight known gangs in Ottawa, with the estimated number of gang members in the city at 435 in 2015. Most of those in gangs are young men, between age 20 and 30. However, the report adds, the talk of gangs has shifted. The city’s drug trade, weapons offences, violence and sex trade have not all been linked to organized gangs. “What we are really seeing is that it’s street violence which is not that organized and calling them gangs is giving them more power than they deserve,” Worsfold said. The partners are key, Worsfold said, indicating the work that the John

Howard Society and the Ottawa Community Immigrant Services is doing with the gang exit strategy – a strategy still in its infancy — is working, but is also taking time. “We are putting things in place to give them hope of a different kind of lifestyle,” Worsfold said. “But stepping away from that lifestyle is like trying to quit a drug or alcohol dependency, there is going to be ups and downs.” The draft report outlines the strategy’s outcomes and results, which it indicates are measured through an independent evaluation that took place this year. The report highlights both shortterm and medium-term progress.
According to the Ottawa Gang Strategy draft report, the strategy continues to yield results with the approach contributing to collective outcomes. The draft report was presented at Crime Prevention Ottawa’s Oct. 3 board meeting.

The next steps for the draft report will be that it will be submitted to the city’s community and protective services committee on Oct. 20. After that, Worsfold said Crime Prevention Ottawa will go back to the community to see if there are any gaps missing in the strategy, as well as focus on what is working and what is not.

Following its residents, Ottawa’s best asset may be its natural beauty and geographic diversity. It is our responsibility, as the current stewards, to ensure the vibrancy and health of Ottawa’s natural features for future generations. Through investments like the Ottawa River Action Plan (ORAP) and Light Rail Transit (LRT), we have made tremendous strides in ensuring the health of our city and its residents by cutting down carbon emissions, reducing pollution and waste, protecting our green spaces and much more. As an organization, the City of Ottawa needs to strike a balance between developing the city as a green community, while ensuring the long-term affordability of services. Alongside Energy Ottawa, a subsidiary of Hydro Ottawa, I recently had the pleasure of announcing the installation of solar panels on eight City buildings as part of our ongoing commitment to expand renewable energy generation in Ottawa. This is following the success of the 2010 pilot project, where smaller solar energy systems were installed at City Hall and at the Integrated Transit Operations Control Centre on Belfast Road. Once all eight solar projects are complete, the system is expected to generate nearly 3,000,000 kWh/year; the equivalent of removing more than 300 homes from the grid annually. The renewable energy generated from these panels is expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 41,382 metric tonnes over the next 20-years. Additionally, the City of Ottawa is expected to receive approximately $85,000 a year or $1.7 million in revenue over the 20-year contract. That’s revenue for important services from renting roof space that otherwise would not be used. The cost of solar panels has reduced dramatically, which is why solar projects and this partnership with Energy Ottawa makes good sense. The ultimate goal is to add solar panels on all city buildings that can accommodate them, as long as it makes financial sense – and so far, it does. As solar panels and other green technologies become more affordable, these projects will become more widespread. In 1885, Ottawa became the first city in the world to light all of its streets with electricity. It’s fitting that we continue to pioneer innovative new green technology. Last month, alongside Environment Committee Chair Councillor David Chernushenko, I announced the conversion of 58,000 streetlights to LED technology. An initiative that, upon completion, will save the City an estimated $6 million annually. Street lighting accounts for 17%of the electricity used by the City. The conversion is expected to reduce energy consumption by 50% per fixture. Since converting 750 lights on Carling Avenue in 2015, the City has already saved more than $72,000 annually. Tapping into the potential of green technology is not only fiscally prudent: it will generate new revenue for the City, improve the quality of life for its residents and ensure the longevity of the natural splendor of our city.

For example, a rural singlefamily home would pay $53 per year if they are not connected to the city’s water. An unconnected rural apartment would pay $27. Urban homes that are privately serviced would get a discount, but it would be 30 per cent off the total of a municipally serviced home, instead of 50 per cent. The complex system of rates is the fairest method, aside from assessing each property, according to the city. The City of Mississauga bills each home, but Jasmin says the practice costs the city millions annually. “You’d have to go by roll numbers and land parcels,” Jasmin said. “And we don’t have full mapping for the rural areas.” The new rate structure will be phased in over the next four years. Jasmin said very low volume users will see a potential increase of $13 per month. That would only apply to those customers who use less than a third of the average water consumed, she said. The city’s environment committee will hear the draft report on Oct. 18 and the public will have the opportunity to speak at the meeting. If council approves the rate changes, they would take effect in January 2018.

about the proposal, and requests for a more sophisticated system that took into account the different nature of their properties. “The good thing is most people recognized the need to pay for stormwater service,” Chernushenko said. In response, staff created categories for apartments and townhouses that are urban and connected to the city’s water, urban apartments that are not connected, and rural apartments that are connected and not connected. In total there are six categories, including single-family and semidetached homes, Jasmin said. Right now residents pay $100 per year for stormwater fees. Under the new rate structure that would increase to $106. There would be discounts for urban and rural homes that are not connected.

Changes to the way the city bills residents for drinking water, taking away sewage and stormwater won’t be a big drain on the average homeowner’s finances, says the city’s deputy treasurer Isabelle Jasmin. The city released its draft report on a new water rate structure on Oct. 3. For 85 per cent of residents, the new billing system will mean a $2 difference on their monthly bill, according to the city. The report offers a second wave of numbers in an effort to deal with flagging revenues and increasing costs in providing water and sewer services in the city. The city’s environment committee chair Coun. David Cher-
nushenko said more than 800 people provided input on an initial report released in the spring. “We promised to take the feedback seriously and come up with a better report,” he said, adding the problem with the first effort was that it was too conceptual. The sticking point for many of the city’s rural residents is that they are being charged despite being on their own well and septic systems. Ultimately they would be on the hook for $2 million under the rate structure change. At a consultation meeting last spring, Chernushenko said there had to be a balance between a flat rate for everyone, and getting out to every property with a watering can and a meter to see how permeable their property is. Rural homeowners flooded the consultations with complaints

Chameleons change skin colour to express a mood or aid in camouflage. This guy is currently on display at the Canadian Museum of Nature from Oct. 7 to April 8 as part of the new traveling exhibition, Reptiles: Beautiful and Deadly.
In cold blood: reptiles take over museum BY MICHELLE NASH BAKER
michelle.nash@metroland.com
They might not be fuzzy and cuddly, but the 19 reptiles that have taken over the fourth floor at the Canadian Museum of Nature are a sight to see. The museum’s latest travelling exhibition Reptiles: Beautiful and Deadly opened on Oct. 7 and gives the average museum goer a chance to see the 19 live reptile specimens in re-created natural habitats. Among the creatures on display, there is a chance to watch a cobra slither around a bull skull, or a chameleon stand as still as the tree it’s perched on. Better yet, have a go at trying to find all four of the geckos in their encasement. There are also giant tortoises, a Gila monster, an American alligator and a python to
check out. The largest travelling reptile exhibition in the world was created in 1999 by Clyde Peeling’s Reptiland in Allenwood, Pa. This exhibition focuses on the “cold-blooded” reptiles, which depend on outside sources of heat to warm their bodies. “The experience is meant to explode common myths and instill a new appreciation for these misunderstood creatures,” said Meg Beckel, president of the museum. Watching the reptiles move about is only half the fun in this new exhibition – there are a number of interactive components where visitors can learn about fangs, skulls, shells, milking a viper and how to tell the difference between and an alligator and a crocodile.

Ottawa West News - Thursday, October 13, 2016 25
A family tradition after 40 years The name Monaghan has been entwined with Queensway Carleton Hospital since it opened in 1976. Stella Monaghan was the first patient the hospital took care of, before the hospital had even officially opened. When the name Monaghan is said within the walls of QCH, people know what family it is. Dr. Ron Monaghan has been a general surgeon at the hospital since 1998. He can often be found in the department of surgery, or doing shifts in the ambulatory care unit. Coming to work at Queensway Carleton just made sense to him. “Of course, I’ve got strong family ties to this hospital. My grandmother was the first patient here, and my parents have been volunteering here for over 30 years. My father was on one of the earliest planning boards.” There was another reason though. “There was some restructuring going on at the Riverside, so that spurred my move here as well.” When Monaghan made the move to QCH, it was his colleague in surgery, Dr. Symes, that really went out of his way to make sure that Monaghan felt comfortable in his new job. “Dr. Symes always ensured that I was well supported if I had any surgical chal-
lenges. He’s still at this hospital; we’re in the same department.” His favourite part about working at this hospital is the environment of the OR and the staff. “It’s a comfortable place to be – you see people on a daily basis, and you know them. The nursing staff is very friendly and efficient. The OR is peaceful, focused.” Monaghan has made many lifelong friends during his career at Queensway. He goes to numerous events the foundation holds, as well as the golf tournaments. “Queensway Carleton has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. It’s my family’s hospital.” A moment Monaghan won’t be forgetting for a long while involved his department. “A few years ago, an OR nurse developed a critical illness. The OR team ral-

lied around her, hosting events to assist with financial support for her family.” The first thing that came to Monaghan’s mind in regards to what he wanted people to know about Queensway Carleton was about the staff. “We have a very caring staff here. They’re incredibly friendly, and they’re quite committed to this hospital. The nursing staff is always efficient, and they try their best. I see very satisfied patients because of that, and I’m very thankful.” Working at Queensway has taught Monaghan many things over the 18 years he has been a surgeon within its walls. “Teamwork, definitely. It’s extremely important, especially in an OR. You need to work together; both for the best interest of the patient, and to cultivate a good working relationship.” The way Monaghan summarized his experience with Queensway Carleton Hospital really highlights the way he feels about it. “I have been very privileged to be a part of a hospital community that shows such caring and compassion for the surrounding community.” The word Monaghan chose to describe Queensway Carleton Hospital, a place that has been entangled in his family’s lives for so long? “Compassionate.”

Museum has national collection of more than 64,000 reptile specimens Continued from page 25
Visitors are also able to see historic specimens from the museum’s own national reptile collection, which curator of the vertabrae and zoology collection, Kamal Khidas, said he was most excited about. “It’s a chance to showcase a small portion of our collection that is in Gatineau,” Khidas said. According to Khidas, the museum has over 64,000 specimens or 545 species in their collection. Khadis added he loves the fact this exhibition is open, with a lot of space for patrons to move around, so even on the museum’s busiest of days, people will have a chance to get up close to the animals. Kathryn Allen, one of the zookeepers on hand for the exhibition, said she hopes people come to check out the reptiles because while they aren’t as fuzzy or cuddly as panda bears, they offer up just as much to learn. “I was teaching people how amazing they are and I ended up falling in love with them,”
MICHELLE NASH BAKER/METROLAND
Kathryn Allen shows off one of the Canadian Museum of Nature’s 19 live specimens - a non-venmous milk snake who carries the same colours as other venemous snakes. This snake is part of Reptiles: Beautiful and Deadly which opens on Oct. 7. Allen said of how she ended up wrangling snakes and lizards for a living. “I wanted to work with lions and tigers, but everyone loves them. It’s much harder to get people to love a
crocodile. They are less fuzzy, but just as important.” Thanks to the museum, here are some cool facts about reptiles: • Today most biologists
classify animals by their evolutionary family tree, an approach called cladistics. The animals that evolved an outer covering of dry, horny scales are called reptiles. Their living
descendants include turtles, crocodilians, lizards, snakes and birds (feathers are modified scales). • There are more than 10,000 species of reptiles in the world. In Canada, there are 54 species and sub-species. • The structure of the turtle shell has changed little since the age of the dinosaurs. Scientists disagree about where turtles fit in the evolutionary tree of life. • The first known warmblooded lizard, the tegu, can heat itself to as much as 10 C above its surroundings, making it unique among reptiles. • Snakes are lizards that have lost their legs, ear openings and eyelids—possibly ancient adaptations for an underground existence. • More people die from bee stings each year than snakebites. In the United States, about 8,000 people receive venomous snakebites. Only nine to 15 of those people die. • Most venomous snakebites in North America are from copperheads, water moccasins and rattlesnakes. • Alligators, crocodiles, cai-
mans and the gharial are the closest living relatives of birds. They have bird-like hearts, digestive tracts, ear canals, and rib cages. • Alligators and other crocodilians are the “loud mouths” of the reptile world. Calls vary widely depending on species, age, size and sex. Some species can communicate over 20 different kinds of messages through sound alone. • Chameleons change skin color to express a mood or aid in camouflage. Tentacle-like chromatophores move pigments up and down through the layers of skin. The closer the pigment gets to the surface of the skin, the darker the animal appears. For more cool facts about reptiles, visit the exhibition which will be on display at the museum until April 8, 2017, at 240 McLeod St. in Ottawa. In addition to regular museum admission, a surcharge of $6 applies for this special exhbit. For hours, admission, and other information, visit nature.ca.

OREO (ID# A196256) AND SKOR (ID# A196257)
A Day Aboard the New Ottawa Humane Society Mobile Spay/Neuter Clinic The new Ottawa Humane Society Mobile Spay/Neuter Clinic is officially operating in the city of Ottawa! This exciting new service provides subsidized spay/neuter surgeries for cats in our community, allowing the OHS to meet clients in the neighbhourhoods they call home and to address the barriers of both cost and transportation for low income pet owners seeking to spay or neuter their cats. The OHS is grateful for the support from our community in this new frontier to reduce cat homelessness in Ottawa and to help preserve the human-animal bond by providing services that allow more pet owners to keep their pets. The OHS is on its way to its goal of sterilizing 6,000 cats by the end of the second year of operations and making a real difference in the number of cats living on the streets and entering the shelter each day. The OHS has received an outpouring of demand and support for this new service, with many community members eager to book appointments for their cats, and many also curious to learn more about how this program works, specifically, what happens during a typical day aboard the mobile
clinic. The OHS is currently serving 10-20 cats per clinic day with this program. To facilitate a high-volume mobile clinic, the program adheres to a structured daily schedule to help provide the best care for the most number of animals each day: 7 a.m.: Staff drive the mobile clinic to the community location. 8 a.m.: Clients arrive at the clinic and begin registering their cats. All clients have made appointments prior to the clinic date. Clients leave the clinic site for the day. 9 a.m.: A veterinarian completes an examination of each animal to identify any health issues before beginning surgery. When necessary, the veterinarian contacts clients before proceeding. 10 a.m.: Surgeries begin. 2 p.m.: Surgeries completed. Cats are provided food and water and carefully monitored through the recovery period. 3 p.m.: Clients return to pick up their cats. Clients receive post-operative care instructions. 4:30 p.m.: The clinic day completes. To qualify for $20 spay/neuter services from the mobile clinic, pet owners must provide proof of income qualification. The program only provides services to cats. To learn more about Mobile Spay/Neuter Clinic, visit ottawahumane.ca/mobile. Pet of the Week: Oreo (ID# A196256) and Skor (ID# A196257) Meet Oreo and Skor two brothers looking for a new home together. Guinea pigs like Oreo and Skor make delightful companions for both adults and families. Once settled in their new home, guinea pigs are inquisitive, friendly and talkative.

Landowners with at least one hectare of land may be eligible for a tree planting program delivered by Forests Ontario.
Apply now to plant new trees next spring 50 Million Tree Program offers site visits to landowners SUBMITTED
Beat the spring rush and organize a site visit today. Planting trees is a simple solution to help combat climate change. Landowners with a minimum of one hectare of plantable land may be eligible for a generous tree planting incentive program delivered by Forests Ontario. This program is for large-scale plantings. “Make a plan,” says forester Wade Knight. “Whether you are looking to plant a few acres or your whole property, protect your investment by planning your project carefully. A successful planting project requires a properly prepared site, tree species matched to the site and soils, and a plan to care for the seedlings after planting. It’s an investment for the future. 32
Ottawa West News - Thursday, October 13, 2016
“By planting on your property, one day you’ll be able to experience the fall colours right at home.” Forests Ontario will connect you with a local field advisor who will work with you to create a plan that suits your property’s unique needs. Whether planting windbreaks on your farm, stream edges to improve wildlife habitat or reclaiming marginal land, trees can help you improve the value of your property. In addition, trees also help retain water in the soil, and they provide shade, which reduces evaporation. These are big benefits, especially following a hot, dry summer. Through the 50 Million Tree Program, landowners are able to access funding support of up to 75 per cent of total planting costs as well as prac-
tical support and ongoing forest management assistance. Plant trees on your land and help Ontario plant 50 million trees by 2025. Find out more about the 50 Million Tree Program at www. forestsontario.ca/50MTP or contact forestry outreach coordinator, Suzanne Perry, at 1-877-646-1193, ext. 239 or at sperry@forestsontario.ca. ABOUT 50 MILLION TREE PROGRAM
Forests Ontario administers the Ontario government’s 50 Million Tree Program, part of the United Nations Billion Tree Campaign. The United Nations’ goal is to plant one billion trees worldwide each year. Ontario is committed to plant 50 million trees by 2025.

INGREDIENTS PREPARATION
• 2 cups (500 mL) finely shredded carrots • 1-3/4 cups (425 mL) 2% milk • 1 tsp (5 mL) ground cardamom • 4 Ontario eggs • 2/3 cup (150 mL) packed brown sugar • 1 cup (250 mL) 10% halfand-half cream • 1-1/2 tsp (7 mL) vanilla • 3/4 tsp (4 mL) ground cinnamon • 1/4 tsp (1 mL) ground nutmeg

Moving the Findlay Oval was a team effort
I
t was time. There was a bite in the air. This was the day the Findlay Oval would be moved from the summer kitchen back into the house. It had been allowed to go out the night before after supper on Friday, so it would be well cooled off by the time it was moved. Being Saturday, the brothers were home from school, and it would take every hand to move the big stove back where it belonged. With any luck, the stove would be up and running in time for supper. Heaven forbid that Father didn’t have a full meal at the end of the day! Always, the stove was rolled in and out on logs, but Father had a better idea that year. He spent hours in the work shed building a platform on wheels and it was his intention to hoist the stove onto this trolley and slide it right into the kitchen. Of course, it would have to be lifted onto the trol-
MARY COOK Memories ley first. And I remembered how the brothers and Father struggled to get it onto the logs and then roll it into the summer kitchen. Father said it weighed more than two work horses put together. Everyone was in bad humour by the time it was all over. So the trolley, I hoped would work out just fine. The stove pipes had to be taken down first and it was my sister Audrey’s and my job to shake the soot out and make sure they were clean enough to attach back to the stove when it was back in the kitchen. I stayed well away from the
summer kitchen when the lifting started. I couldn’t bear to see the red faces and the veins standing out in their necks, as they struggled with the load. Well! That move was different from all others! Father could be heard swearing at Everett, who was yelling at Emerson, who was blaming young Earl. Someone, Father roared, had forgotten to empty the reservoir and as soon as the stove was tilted in the move, the water sloshed out and covered Father from his waist to the top of his work boots. To say he wasn’t happy was an
understatement! So there sat the stove. Two legs on the trolley and the other two on the summer kitchen floor, with the water pouring out like a rushing river. I stood in the doorway and it was like watching a Hop-a-long Cassidy Movie. For a few minutes Father stood and looked at the water running down his front and the reservoir door hanging open. Emerson, Everett and Earl stood looking at Father for further instructions. I was amazed at how much water the reservoir could hold. With the toe of his work boot, Father maneuvered the braided rug that was close by, over to the pool of water on the floor. Of course, that only spread the water further and did nothing to sop up what can come out of the reservoir. He sent Earl in the for the rag bag. “And don’t bring one rag. Bring the whole bag,” he hollered. In the meantime, he
was asking who had the job of emptying the water. Emerson pointed to Everett and Everett pointed in the general direction of Earl going out the door for the rag bag, shaking his head and saying “not me.” Earl brought in what used to be an old flour bag pillow slip, now filled with pieces of old underwear, sweaters, and anything else that could no longer be considered usable. Father grabbed it and without taking one thing out of it, used the entire full bag as a mop. Mother would not be pleased and I knew the rags would have to be washed, dried and restored in the bag for further use. Finally, as much water as possible was wiped up, the stove heaved onto the trolley and moved back into the house. The pipes were put on. It took several hours to put everything back in order, a new fire lit, and supper put on the stove to cook.
Father was as cross as a bear with a sore paw, the brothers were still accusing each other of failing to empty the reservoir and I was sitting in a corner of the kitchen pretending to read my newest book from the Renfrew Library. But I couldn’t help thinking of the night before when the whole house was getting ready for the big move and Mother, right in the middle of the chaos said, “I think Mary is old enough to help this year. She can empty the reservoir.” I was grateful Mother didn’t remember giving me the job and I reasoned owning up to it would just add more chaos to an already outof-hand situation.

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!
