Sens Rink coming to Carlington BY MELISSA MURRAY
mmurray@metroland.com
What used to be a beaten down basketball court in Alexander Park, is now the home of the city’s fifth Sens Rink. The site, located Alexander Park in Carlington, is newly paved – ready for hockey boards and basketball nets. The rink is a four-season facility and will open this winter. Cyril Leeder, president
of the Ottawa Senators hockey club and co-chair of the Sens Rink projects committee told attendees of the groundbreaking ceremony on Oct. 20 just why the rink project is so important. “The statistics are really startling,” Leeder said in his remarks to community members, officials and students of W.E. Gowling School. See SENS, page 4

There’s a change in ownership coming for the former Grant School property, which is slated to become a west-end francophone community hub. The Centre Multi-services Francophone de l’ouest d’Ottawa has partnered with the French public school board in the hope of getting the community hub up and running after setbacks delayed its opening. Earlier this year, CMFO said it had run out of money and that to complete the project an additional $4 million would be needed to rebuild the interior of the former three-storey Richmond Road school. While the school board will have to work with the city to transfer the ownership, CMFO will continue to find tenants and organize programming. According to school board president Linda Savard, the tenants of the building were contacted in the spring to see if they could help with the stalled project. Both groups are hoping there could be some provincial dollars coming their way, following an announcement in May that the province is making $50 million available for groups “to renovate surplus school space to make it available for use by community partners and the public.”
Savard is hoping for enough money to not only complete the main building, but also to build a gym that would operate as a community space, which would cost another $3 million. She added the building and programming will still be rooted in the community. “This is exactly what we always wanted to do,” Savard said of building a space where people can speak French outside of school and receive services in French. “For us it was very important to have a community hub where students can do activities and people can meet and speak French.” There’s no new timeline for the project, which was supposed to open this past spring. Savard said the opening will mostly depend on when and if the project gets government funding. “I’ve absolutely no clue,” Ron Bisson, president of the CMFO, said of when the building would open, adding the group obviously wants it open as soon as possible. “The immediate neighbours have been extremely patient; we want to get a move on.” Bisson said his group told attendees at its AGM this year they didn’t have the money to operate the building for another winter, after unexpected costs associated with asbestos removal and construction. See MORE, page 3
More than $4 million needed to finish the community hub Continued from page 2
Bisson said more than $4 million in provincial funds has already been spent on the project, as well as about $500,000 raised by the community and $250,000 from the Ontario Trillium Foundation for a new elevator. He’s more confident the new partnership will result in some new public funds. “I’m relieved,� he said. “This ensures the long-term viability of the site.� The tenants have stayed with the project and Bisson said they still aim to offer health, seniors services, a food bank, as well as the adult education and French classes offered by the school board. The next step is the transfer of ownership. “I’m reasonably confident we are respecting the agreement we have with the city,� Bisson said. Bay Ward Coun. Mark Tay-
lor said the groups will work with city staff to see if the change needs to come before city councillors. “I’m not sure if it needs to

come to council,� Taylor said. Since the goal of the project was always to keep the property out of the hands of developers and use it for community amenities, he feels the transfer is still within the orig-
inal intent. “This is a good thing for the project and even better for the community,� he added, noting the need for more community space for all groups in the neighbourhood. In the meantime, neighbours could see some work on the site to secure it for the winter and prevent access, in order to preserve the work that’s already been done on the site, after some vandalism over the past year. Security guards will visit the site to deter vandals. “They are in this, they are eager to get moving. They haven’t signed anything as such and they are already investing, which I think is a good thing,� Taylor said of the school board. Taylor said the board is also committed to opening up access to the multi-use pathway that cuts through the site and will look at opportunities to have it open to residents this winter.

“We also know that kids that don’t have the right alternatives and activities during high risk times after school and on weekends
are at greater risk of getting in trouble with drugs, gangs and other issues,” he said. The rink is also the first to receive funding from the NHL, which Leeder said will help the Sens build the 20 promised rinks sooner. The city also provided $250,000 to get the rink up and running this year. Former Senator Chris Philips, who now works for the hockey club, said the facility gives all children an opportunity to play. “This gives kids a safe place they can all be a part of,” he said. Because the facility will operate all year it can be used for other sports as well, including tennis, lacrosse, ball hockey and more. And it won’t just be used for sports.

The rink will have some programming offered through the community

Section of Rideau Street closed to traffic until new year BY Michelle Nash Baker
michelle.nash@metroland.com
Drivers and cyclists will have to detour around Rideau Street, between Sussex and Dalhousie Streets, until the end of the year. Even buses, taxis and delivery vehicles will have to use detours. However pedestrian access to businesses and residences will stay open. The closure began on Oct. 19. According to RideauVanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury, the closure is needed to
move forward with light rail transit construction. Fleury said the work is entirely related to the sinkhole that opened up on June 8. “The entire tunnel has been excavated except for the 31 metres on Rideau Street,” Fleury said. The sinkhole that was about three traffic lanes wide – near the intersection of Rideau and Sussex – closed Rideau until June 30 and shut down nearby businesses. Buses were detoured onto the Mackenzie King Bridge. Fleury said he is happy
that, this time around, buses are being rerouted on multiple streets. “With different routes things might not get so congested,” Fleury said. Several OC Transpo routes are affected, including: • Routes 1 and 7 will operate via Daly Avenue and will stop at the intersection of Rideau and Dalhousie, and Daly and Nicholas • Routes 2 and 4 will operate along Albert and Slater, and will end at the corner of Elgin and Sparks streets • Route 9 will end at Dal-
housie and Rideau, and will start at Sussex and Rideau • Routes 12 and 18 will stop at Rideau and Dalhousie, and will end at Daly and Nicholas. The first stop for eastbound trips will be at Daly and Nicholas • Route 14 will operate via the Mackenzie King Bridge • With these changes, the sections of Routes 2 and 4 east of the canal will not operate, and the sections of Routes 9 and 12 west of the canal will not operate Originally Rideau Transit Group – the company managing light rail construction

Police have arrested and charged a 21-year-old man in connection with a homicide on Lepage Avenue on May 2. Police announced the arrest on Oct. 18, the same
day the accused appeared in court. The suspect is charged with first-degree murder in the death of Lonnie Leafloor, 56, of Ottawa. On May 2, at around 3:40 p.m., officers responded to a call in the 1400-block of Lepage
Avenue in Carlington where they found Leafloor dead. Leafloor’s death was deemed a homicide following an autopsy and was not believed to have been a random incident at that time. On Oct. 5, the police department’s guns and gangs
unit investigated a shooting in the same block of Lepage Avenue. Police received a call about shots fired and found a round had gone through a door and lodged into the wall. There were no injuries in that incident.

Poppy campaign honours Canada’s best
T
his week one of the most powerful symbols of collective memory and honouring sacrifice is once again starting to be on display across the country. That symbol is the poppy. Starting Oct. 28, poppies will be available to the public in the lead up to Remembrance Day Nov. 11. This year’s National Poppy Campaign was launched at a special event hosted by Gov. Gen. David Johnston on Oct. 19, in which the Gov. Gen. honoured Canadian veterans from past military campaigns. The public act of wearing a poppy at this time of year is a way for the nation to remember our shared collective history as a country that has never turned away when duty called, and that we, as a nation, will never forget the sacrifices of our veterans who have served in our military. And while Canadian military personnel have been active in recent years in such places as Afghanistan and the ongoing fight against the murderous thugs that call themselves ISIS, the number of veterans from such military campaigns of the past such as the First and Second World Wars and Korea are dwindling with the passage of time. The poppy honours those who have served in our
military and keeps alive forever the memory of the 117,000 Canadians who have given their lives for our ongoing freedom in conflicts around the globe. “With each poppy we remember someone who is no longer with us,” Johnston said at the poppy campaign’s launch. “It’s now our responsibility to pass on what we know to keep the memories alive.” Each year, approximately 18 million poppies are distributed across Canada, and Canadians wear them with pride, with heavy hearts, and with respect for those who have served and those who have died. The campaign, which was officially adopted in Canada in 1921 by the Great War Veterans’ Association (the predecessor of today’s Royal Canadian Legion), acts as a symbol of what this country is all about, which is why most Canadians, in one form or another, support the poppy campaign and wear a poppy on their lapels. It is not, and never should be, an empty fashion statement. It is a statement about what this country represents, which is why it is a unifying national campaign that everyone should stand on guard for. Let’s put on our poppies in the lead up to Remembrance Day, and then on Nov. 11 let’s all proudly stand together again.

’ve always been a big advocate of sleep. Any parent knows, however, that kids can go through strange periods of disrupted sleep, insomnia or even sleep without feeling well-rested. According to the Canadian Sleep Society (CSS), 40 per cent of kids don’t get enough sleep. Teenagers are especially susceptible to sleep deprivation, with 60 per cent of 12-17-year-olds citing daytime fatigue. Lack of sleep can affect children’s health and wellness. Kids who are tired are more likely to show up in emergency rooms, with fatigue cited as a primary trigger of playground accidents. Kids who don’t get enough sleep can have difficulty regulating weight and exhibit behavioural problems that mimic attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD),

maintain the bedtime on weekends, and limit light in the evening (including screens). All of these things work well for adults as well. And, besides not being grumpy and distracted, I recently learned more about the benefits of getting a good night’s sleep. According to an article in the October issue of New Scientist, our unconscious mind needs us in a state of shuteye to regenerate and learn. In a 2014 study conducted by researchers at the Ecole Normale Superieure in Paris, Sid Koulder and his research team had volunteers push a button with their left or right hand when they heard the name of an animal or object as they fell asleep. They then had the same subjects listen to words while they were sleeping, while monitoring their DISTRIBUTION INQUIRIES Traci Cameron - 613-221-6223 ADMINISTRATION: Donna Therien - 613-221-6233 HOME BUILDERS ACCOUNTS SPECIALIST Geoff Hamilton - 613-221-6215 DISPLAY ADVERTISING: Gisele Godin - Kanata - 613-221-6214 Randy Olmstead - Ottawa West - 613-221-6209 Cindy Gilbert - Ottawa South - 613-221-6211 Carly McGhie - Ottawa East - 613-221-6154 Jill Martin - Nepean - 613-221-6221 Catherine Lowthian - Barrhaven/Bells Corners 613-221-6227 Mike Stoodley - Stittsville - 613-221-6231 Annie Davis - Ottawa West - 613-221-6217 Rico Corsi - Automotive Consultant - 613-221-6224 Blair Kirkpatrick - Orleans - 613-221-6216 CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING SALES: Sharon Russell - 613-221-6228
brain activity. “Even while asleep,” writes journalist Simon Makin in New Scientist, “activity continued in the brain’s motor regions, indicating that the sleepers were preparing to push the correct button.” The researchers concluded that when the brain is in stand-by mode in the early hours of sleep, individuals can continue to analyse words and the meaning behind them. It makes me think of the cliché of listening to recordings of a foreign language while sleeping and becoming a master in Italian. In fact, 20 years ago I used this method to memorize 400 years of poetry for a university English exam and found my recall ability unmatched compared to anything I did in an awake state. In the New Scientist article, however, Makin notes that once the individual is in deep sleep, the brain goes into shutdown mode.

United Way has lost its way To the editor,
Re: “United Way announces campaign goal of $15.2M. With all the fundraising advantages it has, again for the fifth year in a row United Way Ottawa came up short in its fundraising target. How many more can it sustain before it will have to call it quits? Change must come. There is absolutely no indication this organization is up to this challenge. In the grand scheme of things, the current campaign goal of $15.2 million which wraps up on March 17, 2017, when we consider need, is a pittance and an admission of the failures United Way has experienced. That said, Ottawans must start to question the value and benefit of United Way to this community and how it selects those organizations it does fund. Is it based on need or the ability to put the best case forward by any organization seeking United Way funding? Its funding model has become very controversial and in the process has alienated countless supporters and funders. United Way’s “major cultural shift” on how it
allocates funding should be viewed as nothing more than a failure on its part in its fund raising efforts. A cop-out! One should not be surprised that United Way again came up short in its recent fund raising campaigns. No question the organization is a victim of “donor fatigue” which plagues this region. That aside, United Way has lost its way; it has devolved into nothing more than just another bloated, elitist, unaccountable, registered charity. And let’s not forget that United Way in this city enjoys, thanks to the generosity of taxpayers, the support and largess of federal public servants and city employees who donate tons of time and resources to the cause – contributions not realized by any other charity in this city let alone in this country. Far too many of us do not know what United Way does or what it stands for. It has no clear goals and lacks a clear and precise communications strategy. It takes far too much for granted when it comes to the generosity of our community and at the end of the day comes up short with telling us how the money was spent
and what benefits – socially, economically and otherwise – accrue to the recipients. How does it change lives? The very reality is that it may be very well perpetuating, in a very condescending and patronizing manner, year-in, year-out, the desperate conditions and lives of at-risk children and youth, isolated seniors and others suffering from mental health and addictions challenges whom it is supposed to be helping. Unless significant changes – administrative, cultural, and economic – take place within this organization, it will simply disappear with a very minimal loss to this community. Time is not on its side. Is it up to this challenge? Don’t bet on it. There are many organizations in this area who merit and deserve our support, financially and otherwise, and at all times meeting their charitable mandates. Those Ottawans who want to give back should consider one or more of these organizations when donating.

A man died after an altercation at a Clyde Avenue home on Oct. 22. Joshua Briere, 26, of Ottawa, died from stab wounds sustained in the altercation. Police were called to the house at 1098 Clyde Ave., which appeared to be divided into a multi-unit building, around 3 a.m. They found Briere and he was taken
to hospital, where he later died. The next day, the house was blocked off with police tape, and police cars were parked outside. An individual is in custody and charges will be laid in the matter, police chief Charles Bordeleau said on Oct. 24. It’s the city’s 16th homicide of the year. It’s also the second fatal stabbing this month in the area, after Mitch Paquette, 55, was killed on Oct. 6 on Rosenthal Avenue – about a 15 minute walk away.

Cheese puffs with onion jam make great appetizers Choux pastry is more familiar in desserts such as éclairs, but can also be used to make elegant appetizers, packed with a savoury filling. A food processor makes for a quick and easy method. Both the puffs and filling can be prepared ahead. Prep Time: 45 minutes Cooking Time: about 50 minutes Baking Time: 45 minutes Makes about 100 puffs and 3 cups (750 mL) Onion Jam Ingredients
Onion jam: • 1/4 cup (50 mL) unsalted butter • 2 lb (1 kg) Ontario Red Onions, about 8, halved and thinly sliced • 1 cup (250 mL) Ontario Dry Red Wine
• 2 tbsp (25 mL) granulated sugar • Salt and pepper Cheese Puffs: • 5 Ontario Eggs • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt, preferably Kosher • 1 cup (250 mL) water • 1/3 cup (75 mL) unsalted butter • 1 tsp (5 mL) each Dijon mustard and granulated sugar • 1/4 tsp (1 mL) hot pepper sauce • 1 cup (250 mL) shredded Ontario Swiss-style or Cheddar Cheese (about 4 oz/125 g) • 1 cup (250 mL) all-purpose flour Preparation
Onion jam: In large skillet, melt butter over medium-low heat. Add onions and cook,
stirring often, until soft but not brown, 20 to 30 minutes. Stir in wine; increase heat to medium-high. Cook, uncovered, until all the liquid has evaporated, about 15 minutes. Stir in sugar; cook five minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. (Make-ahead: jam can be made up to three days ahead, cool, cover and refrigerate. Warm to use.) Cheese puffs: In small bowl, using fork, beat together one egg and a pinch of salt. Set aside for glaze. In medium saucepan, bring water, butter, mustard, sugar, hot pepper sauce and remaining salt to a boil, stirring to melt the butter. Remove from heat and immediately add the flour all at once. Beat with wooden spoon until mixture is well combined
and leaves the sides of the pan, about one minute. Cook over medium heat for two minutes, stirring constantly. Transfer mixture to food processor and let cool two minutes. Add remaining eggs and process, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl, until eggs are incorporated and mixture is thick, smooth and shiny, about 30 seconds. If too thick, add 1 tsp (5 mL) of egg glaze. Add cheese and process for five seconds. Using two small spoons, drop dough onto two parchment paper-lined sheets to form mounds 1-inch (2.5 cm) across, 1/2-inch (1 cm) high
and 1-inch (2.5 cm) apart. Brush lightly with egg glaze. Bake in 425°F (220°C) oven for 15 minutes. Reduce temperature to 300°F (150°C). Remove baking sheets from oven and pierce the side of each puff with sharp skewer. Return to oven and bake until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Place baking sheets on wire racks to cool until slightly warm, about 10 minutes. Cut off tops with serrated knife to fill. Fill each puff with about 1 tsp (5 mL) of onion jam. (Make-ahead: store cooled puffs in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. Warm puffs for
three to five minutes before filling. Or freeze for up three weeks. Place frozen puffs onto baking sheet; heat in 350°F (180°C) oven until warmed through, 8 to 10 minutes.) Nutrition

Algonquin College is poised to receive a $43-million infrastructure investment intended to help increase the school’s capacity for creating jobs, contributing to research and fostering innovation. Ottawa West-Nepean MP Anita Vandenbeld announced the joint federal-provincial investment at the college on Oct. 12, standing in for Navdeep Bains, federal Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development. Vandenbeld was joined by Ottawa West–Nepean MPP Bob Chiarelli. “I have experienced firsthand Algonquin College’s impact in our community as an educator and bridge builder,” Vandenbeld said in a media release. “With this investment we are ensuring Algonquin College will continue to provide a world-class edu-
cation.” The investment is the product of commitments by the college, two levels of government and other sources to enhance and modernize the school’s research facilities and make them more environmentally sustainable. As a result, $21.9 million will come from the federal government and $2.9 million will come from the provincial government. The college will contribute $9.5 million and other sources will contribute an additional $10 million. According to Algonquin College president Cheryl Jensen, the funds will be used by the college to construct a new “world class facility,” which will allow the college to “engage with our communities and industry in new ways and create exciting opportunities for our region and beyond.” Jensen said in a media release that the school will also collaborate with Indigenous communities to develop a new Institute for Indigenous Entrepre-
neurship. The federal government’s investment – allocated through the Post-Secondary Institutions Strategic Investment Fund – is in line with its innovation agenda, which aims to make Canada a global centre for innovation. “Transforming the library into this modern, collaborative learning facility will provide access to the tools and technologies our students and community need to experiment, to create, and to innovate,” Vandenbeld said. The provincial government’s contribution is part of a $160-billion, 12-year-long commitment to improving public infrastructure in Ontario. Chiarelli described an investment in the post-secondary institution as an investment in economic growth. “We know that providing access to highquality education and training facilities is critical to building the highly-skilled workforce we need to support good jobs and economic growth,” he said in a media release.

Policing shift expected to leave gap in enforcement BY Jennifer McIntosh
jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
The downloading of noise complaints to the city’s bylaw services left some councillors wondering if it would be possible to move to a 24-hour service model. A report on the impact of the Ottawa police decision to no longer respond to noise complaints by staff in bylaw services made its way to the community and protective services committee on Oct. 20. Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury said he’s tired of the politics between the police service and the city. “The police need to see themselves as a community partner. Downloading these calls brings pressure on
city services,” he said. Fleury said last year there were 777 noise complaint calls to bylaw that weren’t dealt with in the same day – asserting that without support from police that number will only grow. Bylaw services stays open until 4 a.m. on Friday and Saturday nights. The rest of the week, they stay open until 2 a.m. College Coun. Rick Chiarelli said it sends the wrong message. “Basically people know they can do whatever they want after 4 a.m.,” he said, adding calls to bylaw going unanswered created a vigilante retaliation in one of his ward’s neighbourhoods. Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans said the decision to not answer noise complaints was a unilateral one made by
the police. “In the meeting with Deputy Chief Jill Skinner, it was clear that it would represent a cost to bylaw services,” Deans said of the policy shift. The report on the impact from staff didn’t include a financial impact, something councillors felt was important. Paramedic Chief Anthony Di Monte said moving to a 24/7 model won’t be a nominal cost. “It’s not a simple matter of hiring another couple of bodies,” he said. “There are collective agreements to take into consideration and scheduling. I don’t think there’s enough of a business case.” Before the next council meeting, staff will prepare a financial analysis of the costs to moving to 24 hours.

Kickboxer to fight at two international competitions this fall BY Kelly McCarthy
kmccarthy@metroland.com
“That’s my personality – when I find something I love I do it, and I do it all the way.” Though Alex Parisien, a resident of Dunrobin, has only been seriously practising Muay Thai since 2010, she has quickly risen to the top of her ranks. On Oct. 26, she will travel to Mexico for the ninth annual World Association of Kickboxing Organization (WAKO) Pan-American Kickboxing Championship. Then, just over a week after she returns, she’ll jet off to Italy to compete as a member of Team Canada at the World Kickboxing Federation (WKF) World Championship. “I’m looking forward to being able to compete at such a high level,” Parisien said. Parisien, 31, got her first taste of martial arts in high school, when she participated in taekwondo at West Carleton Secondary School. She’s now a second-degree black belt in the discipline
– she trained consistently through her adolescence and into university – but her passion lies in kickboxing and Muay Thai. Since she discovered Muay Thai in 2010, Parisien has spent the majority of her free time training at the Kanata and Carling locations of the Ottawa Academy of Martial Arts. She fell in love with the sport’s traditions and artfulness. “It’s a true martial art,” Parisien said of Muay Thai, explaining that it is also called the art of eight limbs and is so cherished by the people of Thailand – where Muay Thai is their national sport – that a 30-day ban on competitions was recently imposed when the country’s king passed away on Oct. 13. Parisien excelled quickly at Muay Thai, though the sport has no quantifiable levels like taekwondo’s coloured belts. She’s trained all over Ontario and has even been to two training camps in Thailand itself in 2013. Her accolades are many:
in 2012, Parisien won sliver at the Council of Amateur Sports Kickboxing (CASK) provincial championship; in 2013, she took home several awards including the CASK Grand Prix championship and the CASK national championship. In 2014, Parisien took home silver at both the CASK national championship and the WAKO North American championship. This year alone, she has already won a national WKF championship. “From my experience, I know the level of competition that I’ll be facing in Mexico and again in Italy,” Parisien said. “I am definitely prepared.” With two big competitions so near on the horizon, Parisien is training at all hours of the day, whenever she can around her work schedule. She hits the gym up to three times a day, seven days a week for Muay Thai training, cardio and yoga on her “rest day” on Thursdays. See LOCAL, page 20

“When I’m not working, I’m training,” Parisien said. “It takes a lot of dedication but it’s worth it.” After a 6 a.m. wakeup call, Parisien heads to the gym before work, slips out when she can at lunchtime, and finishes her day with another session. Saturdays and Sundays are equally busy – she gets in a Muay Thai training session and
cardio every weekend. Parisien trains hard because her aim is always to win. “When you go to a competition, you want to win,” Parisien said. “You don’t enter a fight thinking that you’re going to lose, because then you’ve already lost.” Parisien sets off for Mexico for the WAKO Pan-American Kickboxing Championship between Oct. 26 and 30, and
then sets off for Italy for the WKF World Championship between Nov. 7 and 12. Her parents, always big supporters of hers, will follow her to each. They’ve only missed one of her competitions to date. After she conquers the Pan Americans and the Worlds, Parisien has a
bucket-list of fights she’d like to complete before she hangs up her gloves. For example, she’d like to go professional and fight a couple of pro fights. Parisien is currently fundraising for her upcoming trips, and has set up a Make A Champ page (makeachamp.com) to help cover her $5,500 costs.

The iconic Ottawa “O” will be used to identify O-Train stations and stops.
City to hire company to run retail in LRT stations A property management company will be hired to run retail space in the city’s transit stations. The city’s transit commission approved the recommendation after a report from staff recommended the practice on Oct. 19. The report recommends a systemwide strategy for retail space. There are existing spaces at Bayshore, Lincoln Fields and Place d’Orléans stations. Pat Scrimgeour, the systems planning manager for OC Transpo said traditionally the retail brings $75,000 in revenues for the city each year. “It’s more about improving safety and convenience than making money,” Scrimgeour said, adding the lack of floor space makes it hard to attract big business. Aside from the spots on the existing Transitway, the plan calls for dedicated retail space located at Tunney’s Pasture, Rideau, Hurdman and Blair stations. Knoxdale-Merivale Coun. Keith Egli wanted to know if city staff had crunched the numbers on leasing out the retail space and attracting business with in-house staff in the city’s real estate department. “Wouldn’t it be cheaper to do it in house?” he asked. General manager John Manconi said doing the project in house would consume too much valuable time and money. “The best way to engage the local marketplace is to go out to market,” he said. “Our real estate people don’t have the retail experience. They can’t lure the big ones; the Starbucks.”
Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson pointed out that if there’s retail space, there would have to be washrooms. To develop a best practices approach the city looked at 10 North American transit agencies, including Vancouver and San Francisco. Typically, the types of retail they found were convenience stores, coffee shops, vending machines and flower shops. “There should be a tailor at the Blair Station called the Blair Stitch Project,” Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper quipped. Commissioner François Malo said he’d like to see guidelines about the types of businesses. “I think it would send the wrong message to have something like a smoke shop or convenience store because they’re unhealthy,” he said.

Festivities begin along Trick or Treat Terrace on Marion Dewar Plaza where everyone is invited to trick or treat with the Mayor, meet numerous costumed characters, decorate pumpkins, ride the Giant Tiger Train and visit Alley Cat Avenue. The excitement continues indoors with the Spider Web Café in Jean Pigott Place and children’s Halloween movies in Andrew S. Haydon Hall.
Admission is a donation to the Ottawa Food Bank’s Baby Basics Program.
THE LOOK
Aside from the retail plan, the transit commission got a sneak peek at what the new stations would look like. Maps will show the Confederation Line as red, the route will also be labelled 1. The Trillium Line will be green and be marked as 2. Scrimgeour said staff have looked into the possibility that travellers may be colour blind and dealt with that. “At no point will the colour be the only way to determine where you’re going,” he said, adding the shades were evaluated to ensure they’d be distinguishable from each other regardless of whether or not the viewer is colour blind.
Please advise of any accessibility-related accommodation. Note that this is not a nut-free event.

Run aims to improve kids’ mental health supports BY ERIN MCCRACKEN
erin.mccracken@metroland.com
Dustin Garron tried seven times to take his own life. His experience is part of a crisis, he said, that has struck Renfrew County, “with enough suicides in recent years that I can easily fill the first and second row of our audience.” The struggle families are facing today are compounded by long wait times for help and lack of mental-health funding. “For one mother five years ago it would be the beginning of an incredible journey,” Garron said, referring to his own mother who was called to the hospital with news that he was close to death following his seventh attempt. It was after he was airlifted
to CHEO that things finally changed. “There, thanks to a miraculous team of nurses and doctors that young child’s life was saved that day, and a long but rewarding journey of recovery was about to begin,” said Garron, 22, who today is in fourth year at the University of Ottawa, works as a banking advisor at RBC and is a well-known youth mental-health advocate. His employer, RBC, is partnering with CHEO to bring its RBC Race for Kids series to Wesley Clover Parks in Nepean on Sept. 24, 2017. Ottawa’s newest running event will pump much-needed dollars into mental-health supports for infants, children and teens at the children’s hospital. “This is not simply about a

run,” said Kevin Keohane, president and chief executive of the CHEO Foundation. “It’s about raising money that’s going to go into funding the programs which are so essential.” CHEO has witnessed a 75-per-cent increase in “crisis visits” to its emergency department over the past five years, and a 50-per-cent spike in outpatient clinic referrals, said Alex Munter, CHEO’s president and chief executive. Those dollars will help build an early intervention program for children up to six years old that is being designed to foster healthy relationships between kids and their parents, said CHEO’s chief of psychiatry, Dr. Kathleen Pajer. The money will also help fund CHEO’s new Choice and Partnership Approach – or CAPA – which is a new mental-health care delivery model designed, in part, to reduce waiting lists for mental-health care. As well, the money will target “head-to-toe” screenings, to allow the medical team to figure out of a patient who comes in for treatment of a physical ailment may also have a mental-health problem, she said. It’s all about intervening early – long before a child or teen ever contemplates suicide. “We’re about reducing suffering in our kids and making them strong and healthy to be

Alan Hubley, second from left, his wife Wendy, and Arnprior resident and former CHEO patient Dustin Garron at CHEO on Oct. 12. They helped celebrate the announcement of Ottawa’s newest running race – the RBC Race for the Kids, which will generate dollars for CHEO’s mental-health programs. the next generation of adults to run our country,” said Pajer, who plans to take part in next year’s run along with Karen Tataryn, CHEO’s retiring operations director of mental health patient services. Garron was actually receiving mental-health care at CHEO at the same time as Kanata South Coun. Alan Hubley’s son Jamie. Hubley fought back tears when he said the race announcement coincided with the fifth anniversary of the passing of his son, who died by suicide at age 15. Six months prior to the death of their severely bullied
son, the worried parents began trying to navigate the healthcare system in an effort to get Jamie the mental-health support he needed. “We saw it as a maze. It was really hard back then,” Hubley said. “But it’s so much better today because of the support of big and small organizations.” The new running event will also go a long way to boosting awareness. “As people sign up, as people talk to their friends and neighbours and colleagues about the race and why they’re doing it, something else will be happening,” Munter said. “And that is you will all be battling
the stigma that surrounds mental health, and that is the reason why we, in fact, don’t have enough resources in our mental-health care delivery system.” The RBC Race for the Kids, which will become an annual event in Ottawa, will feature timed 10- and five-kilometre closed-course runs, as well as an untimed five-kilometre family run. Registration will open on May 1, 2017. With Ottawa added to the race series, the bank’s race is now being held in 12 cities in six different countries, and has generated more than $26.5 million for children’s charities.

Byelection called for Ottawa-Vanier Voters go to the polls on Nov. 17 BY Michelle Nash Baker
michelle.nash@metroland.com
Voters in Ottawa-Vanier will have their say on who should represent them this November. The Office of the Premier announced Ottawa-Vanier’s byelection will take place on Nov. 17. The announcement comes 110 days – three months – after Madeleine Meilleur, the
riding’s former member of provincial parliament, retired on June 30. Meilleur announced she was stepping down on June 9. Meilleur had represented the riding since 2003. The 67-year-old, who is both a former lawyer and nurse, served as a city councillor both in the former City of Vanier and for the City of Ottawa after amalgamation. Meilleur has served as a provincial cabinet minister in Liberal governments, first under Dalton McGuinty and then under Wynne. The announcement also
comes only days after the Ottawa-Vanier liberal riding association picked Nathalie Des Rosiers as their candidate at a nomination meeting on Oct. 15. Former Ontario ombudsman André Marin announced he was running as the Progressive Conservative candidate in September. Former RCMP executive office Claude Bisson announced he was running as the NDP candidate in August. In 2014, Meilleur was reelected easily with more than 55 per cent of the vote, finishing ahead of her nearest rival by more than 13,000 votes. A byelection for Niagara West-Glanbrook to replace former PC leader Tim Hudak will also take place on Nov. 17. Hudak announced his retirement in September 2016.

Audrey thinks her luck is looking up when she is asked on date
M
y sister Audrey was getting desperate. Her best friend Iva had a steady boyfriend, Melany was already married, and Audrey only went out once, on what could be called a real date, and that boy from the Barr Line latched on to a girl from Douglas right after, and had been taking her to the church socials ever since. Mother assured her, her time would come. After all, she was still young, and in her last year at the Northcote School. Secretly, I was delighted that Audrey didn’t have a steady beau. That meant the long winter nights could be spent with the both of us sitting at the kitchen table going through Eaton’s catalogue, a pastime I dearly loved. Out of the blue one night, the phone rang, and it was for Audrey and a lad from
MARY COOK Memories several miles away asked her to a dance in Douglas. Well, was she excited and by Saturday night she had tried on every dress in her scant wardrobe and that day her hair had been tied up in rags and her lisle stockings washed and hung beside the Findlay Oval to be dried. I could see the dim lights of the lad’s car coming in our long lane and I was thoroughly disappointed that Audrey ran outside to meet him before he had a chance to come into the kitchen so
that I could get a good look at him. It was going to be a long evening ahead. I played jacks, looked through the catalogue on my own, which was no fun at all, and was colouring the picture in the Ottawa Farm Journal on the “Children’s Page”. I doubted Mother would let me stay up until Audrey got home, and I knew I wouldn’t shut an eye until she crawled into bed beside me. It was sure going to be a long evening ahead.
It seemed to me that less than an hour had passed when we heard a car come in the yard, then we heard a car door slam, and Audrey burst into the kitchen like she had been shot out of a cannon! She was talking so fast, I could hardly understand what she was saying. Mother told her to calm down and Emerson offered that he thought the lad must have turned out to be a Catholic. Well, finally Audrey calmed down enough to tell us, he hardly spoke a word. She had to do all the talking all the way to Douglas and when they reached the dance hall, he left her standing at the door and he headed right over to a group of boys standing across the room. He finally wandered over to where she was, grabbed her hand and headed for the dance floor. “Other than a few grunts,
he never said a word. I did all the talking.” It turned out he wasn’t much better at dancing, either. “I told him I had a headache and wanted to go home. I even had to get my own coat, because he headed
curls were hanging over her forehead and she had mud on her newly washed lisle stockings. Her final words summed up the night in proper fashion. “He’s as dead as a mackerel. He just doesn’t have the brains to lie down.”

My beloved sister wouldn’t be tearing out of the house every Saturday night after all! Audrey’s rag-wrapped

Keep Pets Safe This Halloween with Six Tips From The Ottawa Humane Society
That spooky night when little fairy princesses and mini pirates holler for suckers and gummy bears can be scary and even dangerous for Fluffy and Fido. Here are six tips to help keep your pets safe this Halloween: 1. Keep cats indoors: Cats allowed to go outside may become the target of people who want to hurt them. Keep cats inside where it’s safe. 2. Don’t take the family dog along when you’re trickor-treating: Even friendly dogs can get spooked on Halloween
and there’s a risk your dog could run off and get lost. Leave your dog at home. 3. Use decorations with caution: Keep your pets away from lit pumpkins and electrical cords to avoid shocks and burns. 4. Keep candy out of your pet’s reach: Chocolate can be poisonous to many animals including dogs, cats and ferrets. And don’t forget about wrappers — they can cause your pet to choke. 5. Don’t dress your pet in a costume unless you know he/she enjoys it: Some costumes can cause stress and injury to pets, making it tough to move, hear, breathe, bark or see. Never leave costumed pets unattended. 6. Make sure your pets are properly identified: In case your pet runs outside, make sure he or she has a collar, tag and microchip so they’ll increase their chances of being returned home. It’s a good idea to keep pets in a separate room of the house so they can’t slip out. Find more pet tips at: www.ottawahumane.ca/your-pet/animal-tips/. Pet of the Week: Noah (ID# A189228) Meet Noah, a friendly and playful kitty looking for his new best friend. Noah is an affectionate boy with a wonderful purr-sonality. He likes to try and bury his food to save it for later and when he’s in a happy mood he’ll roll over on to his back for belly rubs. He loves to spend his days playing with his favourite wand toy or simply gazing out the window. Noah would prefer to be the only cat in the home so he can have all of his new family’s love and attention to himself, but with his loving disposition he’ll be the only cat you need. For more information on Noah and all the adoptable animals, stop by the OHS at 245 West Hunt Club Rd Check out our website at www.ottawahumane.ca to see photos and descriptions of the animals available for adoption.

Province names Rowan’s Law advisory committee BY Megan DeLaire mdelaire@metroland.com
The Ontario Ministry of Tourism, Sport and Culture has named 15 people who will serve on the Rowan’s Law concussion advisory committee for the next year, submitting their recommendations to the government in September 2017. The committee’s mission is to help the province execute Rowan’s Law and boost the detection, prevention and treatment of head injuries across the province, particularly in young athletes and students. The advisory committee, like Rowan’s Law itself, is named after Rowan Stringer, a 17-yearold Barrhaven athlete who died on May 12, 2013 as the result of concussions she sustained while playing rugby. Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod pushed for concussion legislation in Stringer’s name, sponsoring a private member’s bill in 2015. While she won’t sit on the committee, MacLeod said she will be watching from the sidelines to see how the law is implemented. “The government went through their process and I was pleased to be part of it,” she said. “But it is their show now and I’m just gonna make sure that they continue to take this as a priority and that the work that emanates from this is implemented.” Ontario’s legislature passed Rowan’s Law in June 2016, a little more than three years af-
ter Stringer’s death, creating the first concussion legislation of its kind in Canada. Based on the 49 recommendations that came out of a coroner’s inquest into Stringer’s death, Rowan’s Law will provide guidelines and tools for players, parents, teachers and coaches to prevent, diagnose and better respond to concussions. Composed of medical experts, researchers, athletes and parents, the committee will review the 49 recommendations as well a best practices currently in use, and advise on practical ways to implement those recommendations. It is chaired by Dr. Dan Cass, medical vice-president at St. Joseph’s Health Centre in Toronto, and includes former NHL player Eric Lindros and Olympic gold medalist and gymnast Rosie MacLennan. It also includes someone who has been committed to making Rowan’s Law reality from the movement’s beginning: Rowan Stringer’s father, Gordon Stringer. “Aside from being Rowan’s father,” Stringer said. “I’m there to represent parents and families in Ontario from the perspective of someone who has some concerns around concussions and is hoping to prevent our tragedy from reoccurring for another family in the province.” Since the bill’s first reading, Stringer said, the group of people involved in supporting and implementing it has allowed him to feel optimistic about the

He said that optimism has continued to grow with the formation of the committee. “The composition to me was excellent,” he said. “They’ve got representation from all different areas that need to be involved: sports, education, healthcare, and families.” For more information about the Rowan’s Law advisory committee, go to news.ontario.ca/ mtc/en/2016/10/rowans-law-advisory-committee-participants. html.

Ottawa’s gang strategy working: report BY Jennifer McIntosh
jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
Crime Prevention Ottawa is doing a good job of being at the neighbourhood level to help families when one member has been involved in gang violence, the city’s community and protective services committee heard on Oct. 20. The recent spate of gun violence has to do with a culture shift, said Ottawa police Insp. Chris Renwick. Renwick said it all boils down to the street level drug trade and the growing acceptance of carrying and using handguns to solve disputes by criminals. “We remain committed to enforcement and suppression,” he said. “That approach is taxing in terms of investigative resources, but is highly effective.” Nancy Worsfold, the executive director of Crime Prevention Ottawa, said the focus is youth and high-risk neighbourhoods. Recently, resources have been shifted to the Cedarwood and Jasmine Crescent areas, she said. The report, released in its draft form on Oct. 3, looks at the work of the organization over the first three years. According to the report, the Ottawa gang strategy offered a roadmap to help the city address gangs and street-level 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 multiple angles. 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. The report says 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. But they’re not organized in the traditional sense, said Renwick. Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans questioned the wisdom of focusing on gang members. “These are hardened individuals who have already entered into a life of crime,” she said. “I think it would be better to focus on youth and given them alternatives proactively.” River Coun. Riley Brockington also remained skeptical. He suggested the report should have more information about the programs that work within the organization’s mandated three priorities: reducing violence against women, working in high-risk neighbourhoods, and youth. “I’ve always been frustrated because I think gang strategy is very difficult to address,” he said. The city funds the organization to the tune
of $1 million annually, but Worsfold said CPO managed to secure long-term funding from the province and a three-year grant from Justice Canada. Crime Prevention Ottawa works on the
ground, offering courthouse visits and educational and other supports. Worsfold said there would be a review of the gang strategy over the next six to 12 months. - with files from Michelle Nash Baker

Innkeepers Suite: built in 2013, private entrance w/deck, lrg. living room w/ propane stove, bedroom w/attached bathroom/laundry, double access to main house.
Police filed additional sexual assault charges against retired teacher Donald Greenham on Oct. 18. Greenham, 73, was originally charged with 14 counts of sexual assault and indecency on Aug. 22 following an investigation into claims he assaulted four teenagers while working as a teacher between 1970 and 1982. He now faces 35 new charges, including indecent assault, gross indecency and intimidation as the result of complaints from seven new victims. “The Ottawa police will respect a victim’s wishes to pursue or not pursue the matter before the courts,” said Staff Sgt. Angela McDade. “The reporting of these incidents by victims to police is key for investigators to identify suspects and determine crime trends.” The most recent charges stem from incidents police say allegedly occurred between 1971 and 1981, while Greenham was teaching with the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board. The victims ranged in age from 13 to 18. Although police did not specify at which schools Greenham taught and coached, archived news coverage of Bell High School’s senior basketball team lists Greenham as the senior team’s coach for the years 1980 and 1982. Former students of Greenham’s have said he also coached the boys lacrosse team at Bell High School, and served as a guidance counsellor at Greenbank Middle School and Bayshore Public School. According to the public register of the Ontario College of Teachers, Greenham earned his teaching certificate in Ottawa in 1964 and retired in 2013. He is scheduled to appear in court on Nov. 22. Police continue to investigate, and are concerned there could be more victims. Anyone with information is asked to contact the police’s sexual assault child abuse unit at 613-236-1222, ext. 5944.

Committee backs more paramedics BY Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
The biggest champion for the hiring of a dozen new paramedics is Cumberland Coun. Stephen Blais. At the Oct. 20 community and protective services meeting, staff came to the table to ask for 24 paramedics to be
bouring municipalities have to respond. Renfrew County complained earlier this year that its ambulances were responding to calls in rural Ottawa. In an effort to address the demand, staff asked for 12 full-time equivalent positions for 2016 – as well as four new emergency response vehicles.
hired in the spring of 2017. According to the report, there has been a 23.7 per cent increase in the volume of emergency calls since 2013. There haven’t been any new paramedics hired since 2011. The increased volume has become a problem, because when the city can’t handle the calls, ambulances from neigh-
The report also called for 12 new hires in 2017 and 14 new hires in 2018. The staff compared Ottawa’s situation to that of Toronto, York, Peel, Durham and Hamilton. Ottawa has 0.15 paramedics per square kilometre compared to a provincial average of 0.48 per square kilometre. A single paramedic handles an average of 308 calls in Ottawa each year. The provincial average is 223. Ottawa is also
the second largest paramedic service in the province. Paramedics have a six-minute target to make it to people with sudden cardiac arrest. Provincial legislation says that they are expected to make that timeline 65 per cent of the time. The averages have been declining since 2013 – paramedics met the target 83.6 per cent of time. In 2015 it was 72.5 per cent of the time in 2015.
River Coun. Riley Brockington questioned the move to hire staff, asking presenters if they’re certain declining response times can be attributed to a lack of paramedics. “Weather and other factors could be attributed to,” Brockington said.
