Leiper the new face at council for Kitchissippi Ex-Hintonburg association president beats out Hobbs in memorable race Steph Willems

steph.willems@metroland.com

News - Kitchissippi Ward was given new representation on Oct. 27, as Jeff Leiper unseated incumbent Katherine Hobbs in what had been a hotly contested race.

Leiper, a past president of the Hintonburg Community Association, received 55.3 per cent of the vote, compared to Hobbs’ 30.8 per cent. Hobbs represented the ward since 2010. Michelle Reimer took third with 11.2 per cent of the vote. The past several years saw the ward become a hotbed of development – not just the numerous highdensity condo proposals, but also the first phase of the city’s LRT system and planning work for the second.

Fallen, but never forgotten Residents paid tribute to fallen soldier Cpl. Nathan Cirillo at the National War Memorial on the evening of Oct. 23, shortly after it was re-opened to the public. Cirillo was gunned down at the foot of the memorial the day before by Michael Zehaf-Bibeau, who was later shot by security forces after storming the Centre Block of Parliament. Flowers, candles, and condolences were placed around the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, where Cirillo fell. For more coverage of last week’s shooting, see pages 11, and 31-46. R0012971744

Mike Patton, who earned 1,427 votes, representing almost 13 per cent of the vote. Barbara Carroll claimed fourth place with 1,270 votes. Brockington, 38, who was elected to serve as school trustee for River Zone from 2003 to 2010, campaigned this election to bring strong, competent, fiscally-minded, communitybased representation to the council table. “I just believe in very firm, active representation,” the former president of the Riverside Park Community Association said after his win. “I’m going to immerse myself with the communities. I’m going to be very visible, very open to constructive criticism and different opinions.” On the campaign trail he said he heard from residents the need for the next councillor to monitor city spending, control taxes, address residential speeding issues and ensure the protection of green space. Once he takes office on Dec. 1, he said one of his plans will be to ask city staff to cost out weekly summertime garbage pick-up. During his campaign, Brockington had McRae’s endorsement and on election night he had the support of former city councillors Karin Howard, George Brown and former deputy mayor Allan Higden. Howard has known Brockington since he ran against her for a council seat 20 years ago, when he was just 18 years old. Name recognition and McRae’s endorsement likely made the difference and “he’s the only (candidate) who’s been elected,” Howard said, referring to Brockington’s time as school trustee. “I think he’s kind of in that Canadian middle,” she said. “He’s fiscally prudent. He’s an economist.” He also gained invaluable experience on financial cutbacks in the school board budget during his role as a trustee, she said. “And I think that’s an education in itself, if you’ve had to experience budget cuts and have lay staff off or close a school,” Howard said. “That’s something that probably makes you quite careful about spending.” While there were some anxious supporters in Brockington’s camp early on in the evening, McRae said she felt confident Brockington would win her seat. “Riley was a good candidate and is

Riley Brockington is seen on Oct. 27, following his win in River Ward. going to be a very good city councillor,” she said after joining Brockington at his victory party. In addition to Brockington’s expertise as a federal government economist, McRae said “he comes with excellent community experience. He’s certainly lived in the ward his whole entire life. He’s raising his family here.” The outgoing councillor said she plans to help the lifelong River Ward resident transition into his new role. “It’s a true honour and privilege to serve as an elected official and he’s going to understand what that feels like at the municipal level,” McRae said. While on the campaign trail, Brockington said he would involve himself in the issues surrounding the Airport Parkway bridge and development. He said he would also ensure the community’s wishes for the old Bayview school site on Riverside Drive are heard at council. Brockington said it will be important to keep close watch on plans for the property, which is owned by the city. What struck second-place candidate Vanessa Sutton the most about the election-night results was the voter turnout, which she described as low. Sutton said it may be an indication that people are losing faith in the political process and feel they can’t make a difference. People are really seeking “authentic leaders” who can address problems in a transparent manner and deliver outcomes,” she said. Mike Patton, another of the 10 River Ward candidates, said development and infill in the ward will also need to be the focus of the next councillor, adding that it’s important to look at what has happened in Westboro, which is “tapped out.”

Mark Taylor holds on to Bay Ward following tight race Samantha Long

News - Bay Ward kept its councillor in the Oct. 27 municipal election, but only by a small margin. Voters returned incumbent Mark Taylor to the council table, where he will serve a second term that he has said will be his last -- his campaign slogan has been “Finish what we started.” With 47.8 per cent of popular support in Bay Ward, Taylor finished just 474 votes ahead of challenger Alex Cullen, who had previously represented the ward on the municipal and provincial level. On election night at Taylor’s campaign party, what was once an excited crowd quickly turned anxious as the margin between Taylor and Cullen ebbed and flowed across a small margin throughout the night. In it ended up being one of the tightest races across the

Samantha Long/metroland

Bay Ward councillor Mark Taylor speaks after being re-elected on Oct. 27. city, but the incumbent was still pleased with the victory. “I’m excited to get back to work tomorrow,” said Taylor as he addressed the crowd at Time Out Bar & Grill on Carling Avenue. “We took nothing for granted,” he said Taylor. “We knew we’d have to fight this out street by street and that’s what we did.”

Taylor attributed his fresh face as one of the reasons for close contest, stating the popularity of Cullen in the past and people “needing time to work up to me” both playing a part in the result. Taylor promises to execute the things he campaigned on such as keeping the city affordable and reducing homelessness, with the goal of eventually eliminating it in the next 10 years. Taylor plans to continue focusing on renewal work in the ward, as most of the infrastructure was built in the 1950s and 1960s, highlighting the fact he was successful in getting the first park built in Bay ward in more than 30 years. Overall, the election race in Bay Ward was a tale of contrasts. While incumbent Mark Taylor performed a low-key campaign and stayed away from contentious debate, his challenger (and the ward’s

previous councillor) Alex Cullen aggressively campaigned on what he saw as failings of the ward’s current leadership. In an unusual turn, it was Ottawa mayor Jim Watson who repeatedly challenged Cullen’s record on Twitter, essentially campaigning against him. Despite two big names at the forefront of the race, four

challengers signed up to inject ideas into the community conversation. George Guirguis declined an offer by the Ottawa West News to discuss his campaign, though Trevor Robinson claimed a desire to continue his past community service as councillor. Brenden Mertens ran a colourful campaign full of absurdist declarations and im-

agery, while Michael Pastien used his campaign to highlight ways Bay Ward could be improved. The issues in Bay Ward spanned the gamut from economic development, crime, transit, neighbourhood improvement, poverty and senior’s issues. With files from Steph Willems

Rick Chiarelli rolls on in College Ward Incumbent only councillor ward has known

Tragedy in Ottawa - Condolences from River Ward

Much like the his run in College Ward, the good times kept rolling at Grazie’s restaurant on the night of Oct. 27 for Rick Chiarelli. The room was buzzing as results poured in, yet anxiety remained low. The Chiarelli maintained a large, steady lead over the other three candidates in College ward. “This is the first time I’ve ever been the first reported elected on TV news coverage,” said Chiarelli, who finished more than 7,500 votes ahead of runner-up Guy Annable. He thanked the residents of the ward for their unwavering support -- with 82 per cent of the vote, it was the largest margin of victory Chiarelli had ever won. He also thanked his staff, campaign volunteers, and family. However, Chiarelli wasted no time addressing bigger issues.

On Wednesday, October 22, 2014, tragedy struck Canada’s Capital. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of Corporal Nathan Cirillo, who lost his life while guarding the National War Memorial. I am also sending best wishes for a speedy recovery to those who were injured. Thank you to our first responders who work tirelessly each and every day to keep us safe. I would like to acknowledge Sergeant-At-Arms, Kevin Vickers, for his bravery and quick thinking in the midst of this tragedy. To all members of the Canadian Forces, I offer my condolences in light of the tremendous losses that took place. Thank you for your continued service and dedication to our great country. Our city and country came together during a time of chaos. Canada is the best country in the world – we are indeed the “True North strong and free”. By standing united, we will get through this difficult time.

“This election will change a lot at city hall,” he said. “I think we will have much more debate, much longer meetings, and some better outcomes.” He highlighted the ongoing work on the city’s light rail system, which will provide a more efficient connection for Kanata and Barrhaven residents who will be using it daily. Chiarelli has served as the ward’s councillor since amalgamation and now has another four years ahead of him. Prior to amalgamation in 2001, Chiarelli was a councillor with the former city of Nepean. Chiarelli defeated three other candidates: Annable, Craig MacAulay and Scott Andrew McLarens. The College Ward ballot was fairly simple this time around – in the 2010 race, Chiarelli faced seven challengers, but still took more than 65 per cent of votes cast.

Watson victorious, nets historic mandate Brian Craddock and Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Jim Watson swept back into the mayor’s seat with an unprecedented mandate from voters in support of his plan for extending light rail. Six months of serious campaigning paid off yet again for Watson, as he was re-elected with the 76 per cent of the popular vote – the highest vote share in electoral history for the amalgamated City of Ottawa.

That’s up from Watson’s 48 per cent vote share in the 2010 election, when he defeated former mayor Larry O’Brien. Loud music and the cheers of dozens of supporters and staff chanting “Four more years!” filled the Ottawa Hellenic Centre as Watson walked up to the stage to make his victory speech, all the while taking the time to thank each and every supporter who made their way up to him. In his speech, Watson made

an effort to thank some of his most important friends and staff who worked on his campaign by name, and made a point of working in references to the main part of his re-election campaign: Ottawa’s LRT expansion. “I’m excited for the next steps we’ll take together,” Watson said “My friends, we’ll do great things over the next four years, we’ll open the Confederation Line of light-rail transit.

R0012968213

Ottawa & Area - According to industry experts, there are over 33 physical problems that will come under scrutiny during a home inspection when your home is for sale. A new report has been prepared which identifies the eleven most common of these problems, and what you should know about them before you list your home for sale. Whether you own an old home or a brand new one, there are a number of things that can fall short of requirements during a home inspection. If not identified and dealt with, any of these 11 items could cost you dearly in terms of repair. That’s why it’s critical that you read this report before you list your home. If you wait until the building inspector flags these issues for you, you will almost certainly experience costly delays in the close of your home sale or, worse, turn prospective buyers away altogether. In most cases, you can make a

“The strong mandate will allow us to build on our shared vision for the city ... an inclusive city, a green city, an affordable city, and a city that takes care of its most vulnerable,” he said. Speaking to reporters after his win, Watson reflected on how he ran his campaign and how even though he knew he was the frontrunner, he put in as much effort as he would have if it was a tighter race “I ran an all-out campaign because I didn’t want to rely on public support. That notion that ‘Oh, you’re the frontrunner, and you’re going to win this.’ I worked very hard, and my team did a remarkable job, and I’m very proud of that,” he said. With eight candidates, the most stand-out challenger, Mike Maguire, only garnered 18.6 per cent of the vote – still, an improvement on Maguire’s 2.5 per cent vote share when he ran for mayor in 2010. That election took place after O’Brien’s leadership left the city bruised by a fractured city council, major transit strike and a trail over whether

Jim Watson was re-elected to a second consecutive term on Oct. 27, when he captured more than 75 per cent of the vote. The runner up was Mike Maguire. O’Brien bribed a rival candidate in the 2006 election (he was found not guilty). Watson came into power in 2010 with a mandate to repair city council’s working relationship. He set out a plan for the next four years that included proactive measures to address transparency and accountability at city hall. It was Watson’s second term as mayor of Ottawa – he was first elected in the old city as a councillor for the Glebe and later, mayor in 1997 with 82 per cent of the popular vote. He was elected as the MPP for Ottawa West-Nepean in 2003 and served as the minister of health promotion and later, minister

of municipal affairs. Starting in 2010, his first term as mayor of the amalgamated city saw him preside over a number of big issues and plans, including the transportation master plan that set out a strategy for expanding light rail; the city’s Official Plan, which held the urban boundary back from expansion; and a debate over where to expand gambling in Ottawa. That last issue initially saw Watson come under fire for his view that a casino should be in the urban core. He eventually supported a plan to limit additional gambling to gaming tables at the Rideau Carleton Raceway.

EDITORIAL

Rising to the challenge

ear is a powerful thing. If there is one thing that those living here in Ottawa and those across the country should guard against in the wake of the tragic shooting that took place on Parliament Hill last week, it is giving in to fear. While very young children are often afraid of nothing, we all learn to fear something at a very early age. Fear for adults is often the consequence of a lack of understanding. If we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t comprehend what something means, or what its motives might be, we tend to fear it. Despite exposure to the threat of global terrorism over the past decade and a half, Canada had up until last week been fortunate in that it had not been forced to confront terror on its own soil. Those days are now over, and we now begin the process of coming to terms with the reality of terrorism. Now is the time when fear can begin to manifest itself. As a city and as a country, we need to resist the temptation to give in to fear. Now is not the time

to shrink from the challenges now facing us. Shutting up shop, curtailing freedoms, stoking fearful sentiments â&#x20AC;&#x201C; such actions will not help Canada confront terror. The threat of terror is now upon us, so we must now act. To borrow from Helen Keller, who showed remarkable courage despite having much to fear in her life, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. The fearful are caught as often as the bold.â&#x20AC;? Canadians must resist being fearful. We must be mindful, but we must not be afraid. Soldiers should not fear walking our streets in uniform. If our boldest guardians are afraid, we are surely lost. Our political leaders must not be afraid. Now is the time for strong leadership, the kind that protects the citizens of Canada while maintaining the rights and freedoms that are integral to our national identity. These are stern tests of our character, but now is time for bravery to shine through and banish fear to the shadows.

COLUMN

Will the Frisbees return to Parliament Hill?

very time there is an incident on Parliament Hill, we hear the expression â&#x20AC;&#x153;balancing act.â&#x20AC;? The incidents â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a bomb going off in a washroom, rogue buses being driven up onto the Hill, attacks on visiting heads of state, cars driving through the barrier, and all the anxiety arising from 9/11 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; have become increasingly severe, culminating in last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bloody events. And so, as the networks tried to fill in the gaps while they waited for facts to emerge, the experts were consulted, as they always are, to look at the big picture. And they talked, as they always do, about the openness of our parliamentary precincts and the need to balance that with an increased need for security.

one, the continuing discussion about the openness of the capital and what would happen to it. The symbol of openness, the one youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always heard and the one many of us have frequently witnessed, is the Frisbee toss on Parliament Hill. That was always nice to see, being able to walk up onto the lawns, watch the tourists lined up around the Centennial Flame, the occasional noisy but peaceful demonstration, the members of Parliament walking to Centre Block, the folks having their lunches on the grass and the Frisbees flying back and forth. That was Canada to many of us, a peaceful place spared from the hammerlock of security.

everything,â&#x20AC;? somebody said on a news network, and you remember that others have said that previously, but maybe this time itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right. Things have indeed changed over the years, little by little, in response to various incidents, various threats. There are metal detectors for visitors to the Parliament Buildings. There are barricades to keep unauthorized automobiles off the Hill. But, no more Frisbees? That will be hard to take, even for those of us who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t toss them. It will be hard to take for what it would signify: the end of innocence, to take another cliche tossed around at times like this. If itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s any consolation, there have been ends of innocence around here before.

Communicating in a crisis

very so often, my kids have fire drills at school. They also have lockdown drills. They do them, not because it’s expected there will ever be a fire or a need to hide from an attack, but so they are prepared should it happen. This is part of a good inhouse emergency preparedness plan. Last week’s events on Parliament Hill changed everything for schools and school boards, however. They found themselves, as did many of us, in an unprecedented terrorism environment – or was it? No one knew. On advice of police, the four public school boards individually had to initiate security and shelter measures in schools across the city. And then they had to communicate with worried parents across the city – all parents, all at the same time. There were some evident

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse successes, but many individual schools and the boards that were centrally co-ordinating communications, also recognized flaws in their plans. Most parents got the message through mainstream media or social media relatively quickly that schools had safety measures in place. They knew their kids were as safe as they could be in, what was for all of us, a scary and dynamic situation. Point one for the communications pros. But as developments occurred throughout the day, it wasn’t clear what would happen next. Would the children stay in school longer?

What about those who had parents in lockdown in central Ottawa? How could they get information? What if they couldn’t get their kids? What about buses, daycares? Coordinating communication in this environment is extremely difficult. The boards themselves couldn’t release any information to parents until they had co-ordinated and fact-checked with police to ensure correct and consistent information was getting distributed to parents. And with all the potential ways to get in touch – social media, web, phone – they had to make sure non-conflicting

information was released. Anecdotally, the Ottawa Carleton District School Board seemed to be the shining star. The board contacted the media directly and regularly with updates for parents, even when there was no update. Staff simultaneously updated school and board news information. The new information was easy to find on the landing page of the websites. In many cases, parents within the public board received up to three emails as well as automated telephone call updates throughout the day. This is an example of a school board that reached out to parents in multiple ways, attempting to ensure they would contact them one way or another. A number of schools within the public board also had secretaries available to field masses of incoming calls from concerned parents. It was impressive.

pening within an individual school,” says Deevey. “To say it was perfect, no, it was by no means perfect. We’re in the process of debriefing and gathering information at this point to decide how we can adjust our crisis communications plan going forward.” Deevey noted that the day following the incident, the board received only three formal complaints out of 51 schools and 21,600 students, so they must have done something right. But she admits it’s a learning opportunity for everyone. I’m sure officials at schools and school boards across the city are doing the same. I hope so. Having an emergency preparedness plan in place to deal with a mass disaster is as common sense as fire and lockdown drills. But it’s not enough to simply train the kids. Administrators also must conduct their own risk scenario testing, and a huge component of that, especially when you’re dealing with kids and their parents, is testing your crisis communication plan.

Other boards also centrally co-ordinate communications, but they admit they experienced gaps. At our school, for example, many parents didn’t receive a single email, the school website didn’t have any updated information, calling into the school yielded an outdated voice recording, and while there was some use of social media by the board, not all notices were updated quickly enough for parents react and important information was buried. Finally, the pertinent information was delivered in French only, despite the fact up to 60 per cent of parents in some parts of the board’s catchment areas are non-French speakers. I had a chance to speak with Roxanne Deevey, spokeswoman for the French Catholic school board, the day following the Parliament Hill attack. Deevey says in many cases the board was successful in reaching out to parents, but she admits they were in unchartered territory. “We do have a crisis communication plan in place, but the focus is on a crisis hap-

Ottawa residents gather to pay respects to fallen soldier Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News – In a touching tribute to murdered soldier Cpl. Nathan Cirillo and his grieving family, dozens of Ottawa residents, many of them from south Ottawa, wore red and white and carried Canadian flags as they paid their respects and said goodbye at the start of the soldier’s funeral procession Friday afternoon. Wearing a red and white Canadian Olympic sweater, Greenboro resident Colleen Downey held her hand over her heart as the hearse carrying the 24-year-old Canadian Armed Forces reservist departed the McEvoy-Sheilds Funeral Home near Hunt Club Road and Bank Street. “When you see the casket – that’s real. That young man is dead,” said Downey, who left work and rushed to attend the funeral procession. “It really hit me. “He was just standing there doing his job. He got up like every other morning and put

(There was) nothing he could do to defend himself.”

Like many other Ottawa residents in the days following the downtown tragedy, Downey said she has felt a range of emotions. “I’m angry that this is happening to our country, to sleepy little Ottawa,” she said, adding that having grown up here, she

“I think it’s important because that soldier gave everything to defend our nation’s honour and honour our nation and … I think that we owe it to him,” Nicholas said. “It doesn’t hurt to give 10 minutes of my time to remember someone for all the actions they gave their whole life for.” His mother Kimberly and grandmother Anne agreed. Anne said she wanted to show support for the military family since she also comes from a military family. Her father was in the Second World War and retired as an army brigadier general. Her brother fought in the Korean War. Nicholas said the events of Oct. 22 have reverberated among Canadians, regardless if they have a military connection. “This is Canada. This is our country that it happened to,” he said. This is our capital it happened to. It affects everyone in Canada, I think.”

along the Highway of Heroes … and I hope (his family) saw the people here with Canadian flags showing their respect, just total respect for a job that none of us would do.” “He just wholeheartedly embraced the life, even as a young cadet,” O’Byrne said. Three generations of the Leclair family held Canada flags outside the funeral home to pay their respects to the soldier who lost his life while in the line of duty. In the hours that followed the news that a soldier had been shot and killed, the Leclairs felt a mixture of shock, sadness then anger. “I couldn’t believe it in a city I spent my whole life growing up in that such an event was going on at places I walk every year, every Canada Day, every Remembrance Day,” said Nicholas Leclair, who is studying to become a paramedic at Algonquin College. Calling the killing a “horrific act,” he said he felt compelled to be at the start of the funeral procession.

never thought such violence could happen. “This is our hometown. I always just thought of it as that, as a sleepy little town. And it’s not anymore.” In an emotional mark of respect, those who gathered at the funeral home and along Hunt Club Road applauded as members of the Ottawa police escorted the hearse and a limousine carrying Cirillo’s grieving loved ones, including his mother Kathy Cirillo and aunt Teresa Thompson/ “I’m glad we (came here) because it’ll sink in even more because it’s just too much of a blur this week …. We’ve lost our innocence here. Ottawa’s changed,’” said Downey’s friend and fellow Greenboro resident Maureen O’Byrne. “He didn’t deserve this.” O’Byrne and Downey wanted to pay their respects and do something tangible to show support for the Cirillo family. “You feel so helpless,” Downey said. “He can’t see that people are here and I’m sure there will be thousands

Councillor-elect Jeff Leiper celebrates his election victory at the Carleton Tavern on the evening of Oct. 27. He netted 55 per cent of the vote in Kitchissippi Ward, defeating incumbent Katherine Hobbs. city’s LRT system were other popular topics of debate. When asked about the seemingly combative relationship between him and Hobbs during the campaign, Leiper responded by saying, “I think she’s got a great contribution to make to the improvement of the ward, to building a truly remarkable Ottawa for the foreseeable future.” “It’s not a personal battle,” he added. “I think we’re just going to bring different ap-

proaches and styles to the issues.” Hobbs was gracious as she announced defeat, but maintained that she was proud of her service. “I worked really hard, I’ve been very proud of my record, but the Kitchissippi voters have spoken, and I respect that,” said Hobbs. “I wish all the best to Jeff.” New and returning councillors will be sworn into council in early December.

that emphasized community consultation, and he said that work on bringing that kind of framework to his constituents wouldn’t wait. “Before even getting sworn in, we’re going to have some discussions, I’m sure, from the various people … to start talking about the mechanism by which that continued feedback, that continued consultation, can take place.” It had been an active, and at times contentious, election run-up in the ward. Hobbs faced challengers in Leiper, neighbourhood advocate Reimer, disability advocate Ellen Lougheed, and labour and poverty advocate Larry Wasslen. Each candidate brought with them a diverse personal and professional background and articulated their views with ease at three all-candidate’s meetings. Given the massive amount of development applications targeting Kitchissippi during the last term of council – most of them of a high density nature – intensification and development was a big issue in this election. Issues stemming from it, such as community development plans and the need for planned growth, were also discussed by the candidates. Traffic congestion, the need for more cycling infrastructure, the issue of longlived bus diversions during LRT Phase 1 construction, and the contentious route for the planned Western leg of the

Ottawa daycare providers fight Bill 10 Proposed changes to Ontario daycares could jeopardize spots: coalition Michelle Nash

michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s independent child care workers want parents in the city to know proposed changes to the Ontario Day Nurseries Act will affect families negatively. The Coalition of Independent Childcare Providers of Ontario held 11 protests across Ontario on Oct. 26 to draw attention to the Liberal governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposed childcare modernization rules and what it could mean for independent daycare providers. The child care modernization act, Bill 10, will replace the Day Nurseries Act, which was first introduced in 1946 and has not been reviewed since 1983. According to the Liberal government, the changes will reflect child care needs of todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s families. The changes will increase access to spaces in each licensed home child care settings from five to six. According to the province, by allowing daycare providers to take in one more child will add 6,000 licensed spots. It would also change the number of children a daycare provider would be allowed to have under a certain age; each home daycare would only be able to accept two children under age two. The government would also have greater enforcement tools to strengthen safety and clarify programs that do not require a licence. Proposed changes would also require anyone working within the early childhood education field to be registered with the College of Early Childhood Educators, including individuals providing care in unlicensed settings. The Ottawa protest took place at the Human Rights Monument adjacent to city hall, where child care workers, parents and supporters

rallied to help spread the word about the changes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want people to join the coalition and join the fight,â&#x20AC;? said Heidi Higgins, co-founder of the coalition. Higgins spoke about what the coalition believes would happen if the changes to the act were implemented in Bill 10. Higgins said is its unnecessary to change the number of children allowed at licensed facilities, such as two children under age two as well as the daycare providerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s children counting among that number. Higgins added the greatest need for daycare spots is parents seeking a spot for a child 12 months old â&#x20AC;&#x201C; at the usual end of a maternity leave â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and with the proposed two-children-undertwo rule, daycares will be unable to fill that need and it will ultimately limit the number of spaces available, resulting in what the coalition calls the loss of 140,000 daycare spots in Ontario. Higgins said that most daycare providers worry about the safety of adding another child â&#x20AC;&#x201C; six, up from five â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and the restriction of having only two children under the age of two will likely result in home daycares closing. She said that will result in the exact opposite to what the Liberals hope to achieve. Daycare provider Sharon Higginson believes moving from five to six children in a home daycare wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be safe. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I cannot add a child to the five I already have,â&#x20AC;? said Higginson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It would not be fair to the five monkeys I am already taking care of.â&#x20AC;? Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod, who spoke at the rally, said she will support independent daycare providers at Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Park, and called into question the current changes the Liberals would like to make. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mothers will be impacted,â&#x20AC;? MacLeod said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think its wrong and I will stand against it.â&#x20AC;?

Honey cardamom cake a sweet, tasty treat Lifestyle - Cardamom is a warm earthy spice that suits a coffee cake. No one will know sweet potato is part of the batter, providing moistness and texture. It also gives it a nice golden glow. Serve warm or cool. Ingredients

• 1 sweet potato Topping • 125 ml (1/2 cup) chopped pecans • 50 ml (1/4 cup) packed brown sugar • 2 ml (1/2 tsp) ground cardamom Batter • 375 ml (1-1/2 cups) all-purpose flour • 15 ml (1 tbsp) ground cardamom • 5 ml (1 tsp) baking powder • 2 ml (1/2 tsp) each baking soda and salt • 125 ml (1/2 cup) butter, softened

• 125 ml (1/2 cup) liquid honey • 2 eggs Preparation

Scrub the sweet potato and trim off the ends. Pierce it with a small knife in several places and microwave on high for six to eight minutes or until tender, turning over partway through. When it’s cool enough to handle, scoop out the flesh and mash it with a fork until smooth. Measure out 250 ml

(one cup) and set it aside. Topping: In a small bowl, combine pecans, brown sugar and cardamom. Set aside. To make the batter, combine flour, cardamom, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. In a large bowl, beat the butter and honey together with an electric mixer until it’s light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until the mixture is smooth. Stir in the sweet potato, blending well. Stir in the dry ingredients until they are just moistened. Spread the batter into a greased 2.5-litre (nine-inch) square cake pan. Sprinkle evenly with the topping and bake in a 180 C (350 F) oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in centre comes out clean. Let cool. Foodland Ontario

Kids fearful after adventure in old milk house

e had many spots to play when I was a little girl growing up on a farm, but I think one of my favourites was the old milk house at the farm next door to us. I guess one of the reasons I liked the old black board building was because it was no longer used as a milk house, and we children were allowed to use it as a play house. Friends from all over the area seemed to congregate there most Saturdays, and even though the boys tried to take it over and keep the girls out, they were outnumbered, and we used it just as much as they did. Uncle Alec and Aunt Bertha (they weren’t really an aunt and uncle, but in those days children did not call adults by their first names) had a big family, 10 children of a wide range of ages, and on any given Saturday, most of them, all of us Hanemans, and various other Valley kids usually ended up in the old milk house. Tub was one of the pupils from

MARY COOK Memories the Northcote School who ambled over every Saturday to check out the action. He wasn’t called Tub because of his slight build, I can tell you. He was as round as a barrel, and everyone except Miss Crosby called him Tub. She called him by his proper name, which was Horace. Even he preferred Tub to Horace. That Saturday in the fall I remember so well, started out just like any other. After our chores, we walked across the field and Tub, Cecil and Patrick Herman were already there. The girls were standing a few metres from the milk house, squealing and yelling something awful. Tub kept running in and out, reporting to the gang of boys who stood looking in the doorway, through as much space as Tub’s big

frame would allow. After a few questions we found out that someone saw a couple of bats swirling around in the milk house, and according to her, they came swooping down ready to plunge into her hair, which we all thought was the main mission of a bat in those days. Tub reported he saw the bats going into the attic through a small hole near the ceiling. It was one of the few outbuildings on the farm that had an attic – most were wide open to the roof. But Aunt Bertha had the attic put in and she stored all sorts of things up there she couldn’t get into the house. You got into the attic through a small ladder and a trap door not as big as a grocery box. Ralph said the only way to get rid of the bats was for someone to go into the attic and knock them senseless with a baseball bat. He didn’t volunteer, and neither did any of the other boys standing outside the milk house. To suggest one of us girls go up was beyond comprehension. Then everyone’s

eye turned to Tub. He seemed to be afraid of nothing. I recalled the day he picked up a grass snake by the tail and whirled it over his head. I couldn’t fathom anyone being so fearless. My brother Everett suggested Tub go into the attic. About 10 heads nodded in agreement. Tub bobbed his head up and down, too, just like he was in his right mind. Everett got the old wood ladder and propped it up against the beams. I was too scared to go in the milk house, but we had a perfect view from the window at the side. There was Tub crawling up the ladder with his eyes cast to the ceiling. I took one look at Tub, and a look at the little door, and it didn’t take a genius to figure out it was going to be a very tight fit. He lifted the door and shoved it along the floor of the attic, and stuck his head into the cavity. One more rung on the ladder, and his shoulders would be inside. He filled every bit of space in the opening, and his arms were hang-

ing by his sides, as if someone had nailed them to his rib cage. We heard him yell to one of the boys to give him a push. Everett climbed up the ladder, and placed one of Tub’s feet and then the other on each shoulder. Everett pushed upwards with all his might, but Tub wouldn’t budge. He was starting to yell that he was suffocating. The two of them must have struggled for 20 minutes, and it was soon obvious that Tub wasn’t going to move. Emerson had a flash of insight, and suggested the ladder be moved to the outside of the building, around to the little window and someone could crawl in there, and push Tub downwards, since it was obvious to all he certainly wasn’t going to be going up. Everett jumped off the ladder after removing Tub’s feet, and in a flash they had the ladder out the door and around the side of the building. We girls were still glued to the window, and let me tell you it was a funny sight to see Tub hanging out of the ceiling with his gum rubbers and overalls looking like they were nailed to the roof with no body attached.

Kanata mom starts preemie association Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

Community - Nicole Lyons was 33 weeks along in her pregnancy when, without warning, her life changed forever. Arriving at hospital less than an hour after calling in sick to work, Lyons gave birth to her son, Joseph, eight weeks premature. Lyons and her husband were completely unprepared, she said, and suddenly had to learn what having a preemie meant. Nearly two years later, Lyons said she remains unsure whether her son’s early birth will affect him physically or mentally throughout his life. But giving birth to a preemie has shown her how little support there is for families who find themselves facing the many problems related to a premature birth, and so Lyons set out to change that. Beginning in March 2014, Lyons launched the Parents of Preemies Association, and has since delivered 250 support packages to families of newborn preemies still in hospital, as well as having 205 support group members. The not-for-profit group is working to fill a gap for families with preemies, said the clinical manager for Ottawa Hospital’s neonatal intensive care unit, Janet Brintnell. “There is not a lot of support or resources currently in the community after (preemies are) discharged,” she said. After her own experience, Lyons said families are in need of more support both in and out

of hospital. Lyons said she and her husband arrived at the hospital unprepared for their little boy to arrive. “We didn’t have anything packed,” she said. “We didn’t have a crib set up or anything … We had nothing at the hospital. We never even finished our prenatal class.” But Joseph came anyway, and Lyons gave birth. But the flurry of activity didn’t end there. On top of having to purchase preemie-sized clothes and otherwise preparing their home for Joseph’s arrival, Lyons worried over the many complications that are common in preemie births. Those include feeding issues, reflux from underdeveloped stomachs, weight loss, brain bleeds and bradycardia, which is when the heartrate gets too slow. “Watching your baby turn blue is the most terrifying experience ever, and that’s really common,” said Lyons. It was a month before Joseph could finally go home for good, she said, and even then, she and her husband’s worries weren’t over. “(Preemies) have very low immune systems,” she said, meaning parents are isolated from their friends and family while they deal with the rigours of caring for their child, feeding them every few hours in an effort to keep their weight up. Even now, nearly two years later, Lyons is unsure whether her son is finished dealing with being born premature. The couple was also left dealing with their own trauma

from the situation, she said. “Many families actually deal with post-traumatic stress disorder, and it goes untreated.” That is one of the issues the Parents of Preemies Association is trying to help with, providing a support network for new preemie parents to families who have dealt with a premature birth themselves. The group also regularly sends care packages to parents unexpectedly in the hospital without the items they need, like shampoo and hand sanitizer so that they can spend more time with their babies rather than having to get these items themselves. The organization is also working to create libraries at the neonatal intensive care units at CHEO and the General campus, to be named after Caden, a baby boy who died after being born at 25 weeks. The libraries will be stocked with children’s books that parents can read to their children, said Lyons. “A lot of times you can’t hold and you can’t touch your baby, so parents often feel left out of the care of their child, which is so detrimental,” she said. The group is currently competing for funding through the Aviva Community Fund competition, hoping to gain thousands of dollars towards their effort. The group has recently made it to the semifinal portion of the competition. To vote for the Parents of Preemies Association, go to avivacommunityfund.org/ ideas/acf19502.

A white Peace Pole bearing the phrase ‘May peace prevail on Earth,’ in four languages stands in front of the Kanata United Church on 33 Leacock Dr. after children with the church’s school learned about the Peace Pole movement.

Local children pray for safer world with Peace Pole Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

Community - Installing a white post with the words “May peace prevail on Earth” on it may seem like a fairly simple act, but to the children at Kanata United Church, it meant a lot more. The church is now proud to be a part of a worldwide initiative that connects people in 180 countries, said the church’s minister for children and youth, Beverley Buckingham. It’s something she has been excited about for several years, and an idea the students of the church school latched on to immediately, she said. The Peace Pole movement began in 1955 in Japan when Masahisa Goi, who grew up greatly affected by the atomic bombing of Nagasaki and Hiroshima during the Second World War, was searching for a way to promote world peace. Coming up with the phrase “May peace prevail on Earth,” Goi set about spreading his message, and Peace Poles bearing his phrase in various

languages were born. Now, many thousands of Peace Poles have been installed around the world, with one more added by the Kanata church on Sept. 21, the international Day of Peace. The various languages that could be included on the pole were of particular interest to the students at the church, said Buckingham. “There is a page of translations on the website for the Peace Pole movement, so you can translate (the peace phrase) into any single language that is out there, and I think that really touched (the students), that people around the world would be able to translate it into their own language, which connects us,” she said. The students decided to include the translations in English, French, Algonquin and Chinese for their indoor Peace Pole, in honour of Canada’s bilingualism, the Chinese members of their congregation, and because the church is built on Algonquin land, said Buckingham. However, that pole had a fifth side, and the students

decided to put musical notes from John Lennon’s “Imagine” on the last side because of the church’s strong connection with music, she said. For the four-sided outdoor pole, the students chose English, French, Algonquin and Hebrew translations, with the last one chosen to honour the church scripture’s history. “(The students) thought it was really cool,” said Buckingham. Though some may look at the white, four-sided post in front of the church as just a white pole, Buckingham said being part of the Peace Pole movement has much more meaning. “It connects us to all these other sites and these other countries who also are saying that they stand up for peace,” she said. “So this says we are not just a community that thinks, ‘Oh, peace is a nice thing.’ We are a community that actively talks about peace and does what we can to promote peace in the world. And (the Peace Pole) is simply a prayer that we offer every single day. That could be powerful.”

Five contenders for Rideau River crossing art proposal Art projects look at history, reflection and safety Michelle Nash

michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - The process to come up with public art to adorn the latest Rideau River crossing has been whittled down to the final five proposals. The public was invited to review and meet the artists who wish to win the bid for an art installation along the new Donald Street to Strathcona Park pedestrian bridge at the Overbrook Community Centre on Oct. 20. All five art teams were present, with each proposal unique from the other. The city identified two elements of the bridge which present the best opportunity for the integration of art – the handrail panels at four observation areas where the bridge widens and the concrete deck at the four observation areas, fascia and curb when it issued a call for artists this past June.

Kenneth Emig is proposing spheres which will run along the bridge, reflecting the passersby as well as the scenery from both parks and the river itself. “My proposal is about connecting both sides of the river,” Emig said. “This will create a visual object which allows you to see everything and connect together. It allows for contemplation.” Lynda Cronin’s proposal offers pedestrians and cyclists a chance to see what lies below the river in a much different way. Cronin is proposing four digital micrographs from four different plant systems growing along the river. These micrographs will be placed at four viewing points along the bridge. “I wanted to concentrate on the ecosystem of the river itself,” Cronin said, adding she feels these images will encourage people to stop and

check out the view. Ottawa south artist France Grice’s concept focused not only on what pedestrians might be seeing, but that the river could also be watching. Grice’s glass eye panels will be placed at the four viewing points. The eye will be 1.5 metres in diameter, with a large blue iris, constructed on stained glass and the white of the eye will offer images of plants and nature below. Sandy Hill artist Eiko Emori said when it came to her proposal, she simply thought about being practical. “It’s about safety for the users,” Emori said. The artist said when she thought about the bridge, and who would be using it and at what times of day, she decided she wanted to somehow incorporate lighting into the art installation. Emori’s proposal is 15 LED lights which will run

along each side of the bridge. The lights will be dimly lit, to accommodate the National Capital Commission’s regulations to not disturb the ecosystems of the river, but the lights could offer some measure of safety, Emori said. The lights, which will be closer to a pedestrian’s foot, will be scheduled to come on at the same time as street lights. When it came to the proposal of art team Susan Gardiner-Bourlier and Shannon Whittle, they said they decided to focus on the historic aspect of the river and the two communities on either side. The result is the proposal of four “meeting points” which reflect on both the future and the past of the area. “It’s about the traces that are left that we don’t always get to see,” Whittle said. The art pieces are stainless steel with shapes cut out which will reflect the sun’s shadows, with each one reflecting differently depending on the season.

“It’s about harnessing the sun throughout the different seasons,” Gardiner-Bourlier said. “There will always be something different happening on the bridge.” The production and installation of a permanent piece of art will be integrated into the construction of the multiuse pedestrian bridge linking Overbrook and Sandy Hill across the Rideau River. The budget is $30,000, with additional funds available for the installation of some components. The city addressed the need for a multi-use pathway connection between Range Road in Sandy Hill and North River Road in Overbrook more than two years ago and an environmental study report looking at where along the river and what type of bridge should be built was completed in January 2012. The pathway will connect directly where the Rideau Tennis Club is located in Overbrook on the east side and the parking lot at Strathcona Park

on the west side of the river. The crossing will be four metres wide and the pathway will be three metres wide. Resurfacing of the parking lot at Strathcona Park and reconstruction of Donald Street will be part of the project. Historically, a seasonal summer wooden footbridge located between the west river bank in Strathcona Park and the east river bank near the club on Donald was used to connect Vanier and Overbrook to Sandy Hill. When that practice was discontinued, many people continue to cross the river barefoot when the water is low in the summer. The city’s public art program manager Lynda Hall said the winning proposal will be selected shortly, after each artist presents to a peer assessment committee this week. The artist will work with the engineering firm on the design elements for the art piece. Construction of the bridge began this summer and will be completed by 2016.

Not once did poor old Tub turn to look back Continued from page 16

We heard Emerson lift the

window and then heard him pounding across the floor of the attic. We heard muffled conversation,

and the next thing we saw was poor old Tub shoot out of that hole in the attic like a big bag of grain. It was most unfortunate that no one thought of going outside to retrieve the ladder so that he could dismount with some dignity. As it was he hit the floor like a boulder, rattling the windows, and raising the dust from the boards. I thought he was dead. He lay there a couple of minutes with his eyes glassed over and one gum rubber about three metres from his body. Emerson’s head was poking out of the attic door, and no one said a

but both boys were yelling, so we couldn’t make out what either was saying. There was a great whoosh,

word. Poor old Tub started to move. He rubbed his hands up and down his body to see if there were any missing parts, then he rolled over, got up on his knees, and slowly stood. He reached out for his other boot, walked towards the door, and without as much as a by-yourleave, headed right out the lane to the Northcote Side Road. Not once did he turn to look back. None of us had much enthusiasm for the milk house after that. Audrey thought we could play house. Emerson said they might get the BB guns and shoot pigeons.

Founded in 1974, The Famous PEOPLE Players’ company was built with the belief that the disabled must be integrated into society. Based on the spirit of personal development and team achievement, the production began

with a theatrical blacklight show in Toronto that was a feast for the eyes. Liberace attended a showing of their original show, Aruba Liberace, and was so impressed he invited Famous People Players to perform with him in Las Vegas. Famous People Players opened in Las Vegas in October 1975; over the subsequent ten years, the company performed with Liberace internationally resulting in a CBC produced documentary, Carnival of the Animals, and a 1984 CBS movie-of-the-week entitled Special People.

Community - The 13th annual Food for Thought West Ottawa food and wine show is preparing for another sold-out year after making the decision to hold the event at the Brookstreet Hotel on Nov. 13. The event has been held at the Holiday Inn and Suites Kanata for several years now, but having sold its maximum of 300 tickets last year, needed more room, said the West Ottawa Board of Trade’s executive director, Rosemary Leu. “The Holiday Inn has been a fantastic host for us for a number of years, but we just outgrew the space,” she said. “Brookstreet stepped up for us.” The event, run by the West Ottawa Board of Trade, fundraises for the Kanata Food Cupboard with an auction while guests sample some of the best cuisine, wine and beer from the west Ottawa area. More than a dozen culinary and spirit merchants are lined up for this year’s event. “We are very happy that, even though we are at Brookstreet, Graffiti’s (Italian Eatery, housed in the Holiday Inn) is

New this year will be JoJo CoCo, a Kanata chocolate boutique, and the Central Bierhaus, along with favourites like Urban Turban, Crazy Horse, Serious Cheese and more. There will be several wine and spirit companies participating, as well as three local breweries: Covered Bridge, Big Rig and Kichesippi Beer Company.

While the cuisine is something to behold, “The most important thing is we are going to raise some money at the auction, so we need everybody to come out hungry, thirsty and with a credit card ready to do some early Christmas shopping,” said Leu.

Human Rights expert to share thoughts on genocide Jewish Federation of Ottawa launches Holocaust Education Month Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - A leading human rights expert will talk genocide during the launch of the Jewish Federation of Ottawa’s Holocaust Education Month at the Soloway Jewish Community Centre on Nov. 9. Bernie Faber, originally from Ottawa, now works as the vice-president at Gemini Power Corp where he helps First Nations reserves in creating hydro projects and other initiatives to sustain economic development. But he said he started his social work degree because of his parents. Faber’s father was a Holocaust survivor. He grew up in a small Polish village called Bocki. It was in eastern Poland near Pialystok and was home to 750 Jews. “My father was the only one left after the end of the Second World War,” Faber said. “His story is not unique, six million Jews were murdered – two out of three European Jews.” Immediately after the war a move-

ment started called Never Again, Faber said. Part of the movement was a set of criteria set out by United Nations that defined what genocide is, in an attempt to prevent it from happening again. “Never again has become again and again,” Faber said. “Since then we have had the killing fields of Cambodia, the genocide in the former Yugoslavia, Rwanda, Darfur, and the list goes on.” He added his talk entitled The Shoah: Has Never Again Become Again and Again? aims to look at where we are as a people today. “How come the Holocaust isn’t seared into our minds as a warning,” he said. “Evil has a tendency to be muscular, unless we fight back. It tends to repeat itself.” Faber started his career as a social worker with the Ottawa-Carleton Children’s Aid Society as a protection worker, then moved to the Jewish Community Centre before moving to Toronto and taking up the role as CEO of the Canadian Jewish Congress. He said the reason we continually deal with genocide is because of

a perception that it’s a problem for “over there.” “Everyone thinks it’s something that happens in Europe or Africa, but we have our own history of genocide,” Faber said of Sir John A MacDonald’s legislation Treaty No. 6, which ultimately starved First Nations tribes in the plains in the west to make way for the railway. Faber said the federation’s Holocaust Education Month is ambitious and one of the best in the country – despite the relatively small population of Ottawa Jews, roughly 15,000. “Organizers go out to schools and churches and provide Ottawans with an excellent opportunity to get educated,” he said. As part of the month-long campaign, the Mayfair Theatre will show a film called Stolperstein on Nov.16, based on the Stolperstein Project, which was started by German artist Gunther Demnig to commemorate victims of the Holocaust by creating small Stolperstein or small cobblestone-sized brass memorials for a victim of the Holocaust. He embeds

Each stone begins with “here lived.” There are currently 43,500 memorials. Holocaust Education Month starts at the community centre on Nov. 9 at 7 p.m. to coincide with Kristallnacht

(the Night of Broken Glass) when Jewish businesses and homes in Germany were destroyed by the Nazis in what is considered a precursor to the Holocaust. “The Holocaust is the most notorious and well-documented genocide and we must do what we can to prevent something similar from ever happening again,” Faber said.

Parliament Hill gunman trying to travel to Syria Passport investigation part of motive for slain shooter’s attack: RCMP Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - More details about Parliament Hill gunman Michael Zehaf-Bibeau and his quest to travel to Syria emerged at a joint RCMP and police news conference Oct. 23. The 32-year-old shooter, who was killed Wednesday, Oct. 22 after opening fire inside the Hall of Honour after fatally shooting a Canadian Forces member at the nearby National War Memorial, was a radicalized Canadian citizen who was

in communication with an unnamed person the RCMP has investigated in relation to terrorism, RCMP Commissioner Bob Paulson said. The RCMP revealed dramatic security video shot by several cameras in different locations on Parliament Hill that show Zehaf-Bibeau getting in a beige car that had been parked eastbound on Wellington Street in front of the memorial after twice shooting Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, 24, who was standing guard on honour duty at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Zehaf-Bibeau pulled a Uturn on Wellington and came to a stop at the Hill entrance near the East Block, where retractable bollards were recently installed. See ATTACK, page 33

Ottawa West News - Thursday, October 30, 2014

Attack followed stay at local shelter Continued from page 31

A bystander approaches the vehicle before recoiling and running away with other witnesses as Zehaf-Bibeau stormed onto the Hill and headed towards a lineup of parked black MP vehicles outside the east block. After jumping in one of those vehicles, the video shows him driving with the car door open up to the west side of the main CentreBlock entrance and dashing up the stairs, all the while carrying a gun RCMP identified as a .30-30 Winchester lever-action rifle. The entire incident shown on video took place between 9:52:36 a.m. on Oct. 22, when

bystanders first called 911 to report the shooting, and 9:53:46, when he entered the Parliament building. Once inside, Paulson said Zehaf-Bibeau opened fire and exchanged shots with Hill security guards and RCMP before Sergeant-at-Arms Kevin Vickers and members of his team took Zehaf-Bibeau out while hiding behind pillars in the Hall of Honour. Paulson said the investigation has confirmed Zehaf-Bibeau acted alone. Zehaf-Bibeau was born in Montreal and had most recently been living in Vancouver before his stay at a downtown Ottawa shelter beginning Oct. 2, when he arrived in the city to

deal with his passport application, which had been flagged. However, Paulson said the gunman was not one of 90 people identified as “high-risk travellers” by the RCMP over concerns they had been radicalized. People on that list, which has since grown to 93, are being reevaluated in co-ordination with CSIS to determine those who pose the greatest risk so that additional resources and monitoring can be employed. Paulson said he is hoping cases can be built, leading to arrests. Paulson said the passport application was still being processed when Zehaf-Bibeau attacked, which resulted in a day-long lockdown of the area

around Parliament Hill. But Paulson said the passport issue “figured prominently” in Zehaf-Bibeau’s motives. “I think it was central to what was driving him,” Paulson said. “Clearly it was linked to his radicalization.” RCMP do not believe the attack is linked to an incident in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Que., two days earlier, when another radicalized man, 25year-old Martin Rouleau, ran his vehicle into two Canadian Forces members, killing one. Paulson said Zehaf-Bibeau may have held dual citizenship with Libya, where his father was from, and he initially told authorities that’s where he wanted to travel. An interview

including every room. Another man, who wished to not be identified, said police removed a large duffel bag from the building that evening – one large enough that it had to be carried by two policemen. French said he had only been at the Mission for a week, but remembered seeing ZehafBibeau sitting on the steps of the Mission “in the wee hours of the morning of the killing,” around 3 a.m. Bordeleau said early reports on Oct. 22 of multiple gunmen and shots fired had to be investigated before police confirmed Zehaf-Bibeau was the only shooter. Paulson and Bordelau emphasized there is no immediate threat to Ottawa residents or Canadians, but they urged people to remain vigilant.

with Zehaf-Bibeau’s mother on the day of the shooting revealed her son had actually wanted to travel to Syria. Zehaf-Bibeau had a criminal history related to drugs and “mental instability,” Paulson said. He purchased the vehicle used in the attack on Oct. 21 and Ottawa police chief Charles Bordeleau said the force is looking into reports that two other men at the Ottawa Mission were also involved in the vehicle’s purchase. Bordeleau said police seized Zehaf-Bibeau’s possessions from the shelter, but wouldn’t reveal any details as the investigation is ongoing. Alan French, a client at the Ottawa Mission, said that on the evening of Oct. 22, police conducted a search of every floor of the Mission building,

Day of violence shocks capital News - Following a whirlwind of violence that gripped the capital, Canadians were reminded that they are “not immune” to the scourge of terror. Much of downtown Ottawa was locked down on Oct. 22 after a shooting at the National War Memorial which left Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, of Hamilton, dead and a gun battle in the halls of Parliament. Following reports that there may have been as many as three attackers on Parliament Hill that day, police confirmed later on Oct. 22 that there was only one shooter, identified as Michael Zehaf-Bibeau, who was shot dead in the Hall of Honour inside Parliament’s Centre Block. Police responded to the initial call at the War Memorial near Parliament at 9:52 a.m., where bystanders were helping Cirillo, who was shot on the steps of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier while providing an honour guard with an unloaded weapon. Shortly afterwards, shots were heard inside the Centre Block of Parliament. Members of Parliament, who were in caucus meetings in ad-

A gunman was shot dead within the building shortly after a Canadian soldier was shot and killed at the War Memorial. jacent rooms at the time, were sent scrambling for cover as police and Zehaf-Bibeau exchanged fire near the Hall of Honour before the suspect was shot and killed, an action Prime Minister Stephen Harper attributed to Canada’s Sergeant-at-Arms Kevin Vickers.

Later that evening, Harper addressed Canadians. “In the days to come, we will learn more about the terrorist and any accomplices he may have had,” Harper said on a national TV broadcast. “But this week’s events are a grim reminder that Canada is not immune to the

types of attacks we have seen elsewhere around the world.” At the Oct. 22 RCMP press conference, Mayor JimWatson expressed condolences on behalf of the city to the family of the soldier who was killed. “Today is a sad and tragic day for our city and our country,” Watson said. “There’s pain greater than losing a loved one. To have it happen in such circumstances as this morning is beyond expression and underlined by sadness and anger within my heart… our city, Ottawa, has seen and lived through tragedy in the past. This is a different sort of tragedy, (the origins of which) are not yet fully known, causes not yet fully understood. We all want answers.” Shortly after the incident on the streets downtown, ScarboroughGuildwood MP John McKay said he was in the Parliament Buildings when the first shots were fired. McKay said he believes this event will change a lot of things, adding he hopes this incident does not lead to people giving in to panic and paranoia. “There will be renewed calls for security, and Lord knows where we

go,” McKay said. “What I fear is that we get to a point of security where we have yielded to them – yielded to the paranoid. I’m going way off at this point… (but) the implications are very serious. Very serious. “It worries me in the sense that …for the 17 years I’ve been on the Hill, we’ve enjoyed a reasonable access to Parliament. What that means is a reasonable access for the people of Canada to their elected legislators. And I think that’s a good thing – I think it’s a tremendous value. I don’t want to turn into the same situation as in (the U.S.) Congress, where it’s virtually an army camp. As a legislator, I enjoy my access to my constituents and to others.” Police initially didn’t confirm the number of shooters or whether any suspects were still at large – leaving residents in confusion over whether there were more suspects on the loose. Much of downtown Ottawa was in lockdown throughout the day as police worked to confirm reports of multiple shooters were false. As the investigation unfolded, police were escorting people from nearby buildings away from Parliament Hill, expanding their perimeter to the south side of Slater Street.

Ottawa, Gatineau Muslim leaders condemn shootings Muslim community members pay respects at War Memorial Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com

News - Imams and other Muslim leaders in the national capital met on Oct. 22, a handful of hours after the shootings downtown, and

Hope. 1-800-267-WISH www.childrenswish.ca

condemned what they called the “heinous and cowardly acts” that resulted in the death of a Canadian Armed Forces member. The meeting of approximately 20 Imams and Muslim community leaders was planned within an hour of the shootings, said Imam Zejad Delic of the South Nepean Muslim Community, before the alleged identity of the shooter was announced. Though the shooter, alleged to be 32-year-old Canadian citizen Michael ZehafBibeau, was a recent convert to Islam, the response from Muslim leaders was the same, said Delic. “It doesn’t matter who attacks,” he said.

“We all have to stand up together because we have to defend what is ours, and that is the message that I have basically received last night from the meeting.” The meeting resulted in an open letter to Canadians, conveying the Muslims of Ottawa and Gatineau’s “deepest sympathies,” for the shooting in Ottawa that killed Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, reservist with the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders of Canada based in Hamilton, as well as the hit-and-run that killed Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent in St-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Que., on Oct. 20. The letter’s sentiment was echoed by Kanata Imam Sikander Hashmi and Imam

Imtiaz Ahmed of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in Cumberland. “These are acts of heartless cowards and have no basis in religion,” said Ahmed. “As Canadians, we pray that God almighty protect all Canadians from harm, and that these terrorists be brought to justice.” Hashmi said he went to Parliament Hill the morning after the shooting to speak with media on behalf of the Muslim community. “Actually being on Parliament Hill under those circumstances, I was very emotional,” he said. Hashmi said that, while finding out the shooter allegedly was Muslim added a new dimension to the meeting of Muslim leaders, “There was unanimous condemnation

around the table.” “Anything that happens of this sort affects all Canadians, including Muslims. There were Muslims who were under lockdown at work downtown, and perhaps even some on Parliament Hill. So we are all affected by this just like every other Canadian,” said Hashmi. At the meeting, which took place at about 7 p.m. at the Assunah Muslims Association at Bank Street and Hunt Club Drive, there were reports of Muslim school children being bullied in reaction to the shooting in Ottawa, as well as visibly Muslim women being verbally assaulted, said Hashmi. “There is an extra level of scrutiny that comes onto our community if the perpetrator happens to be a Muslim,

which appears to be the case,” he said. “I do believe it’s a valid concern. At the same time, I think the real tragedy here is what’s happened, and it’s very important to underline that we are all in this together.” PAYING RESPECTS

Muslim community members and leaders gathered at the Human Rights Monument in front of city hall to hold a press conference at 2 p.m. on Oct. 23. The press conference, which was used to condemn both deadly attacks, was followed by a walk to the National War Memorial, where Cirillo was killed, to lay a wreath and pay their respects.

Ottawa South MP renews calls for tighter security on Hill Erin McCracken and Laura Mueller erin.mccracken@metroland.com

FILE

A lone gunman was shot inside of the Centre Block of Parliament Hill on Oct. 22, raising questions and concerns over security measures there. Ottawa South Member of Parliament David McGuinty said some improvements have been made, but more could be done. “People (including other MPs) have been raising concerns for a while.” He has also called for the security verification of outside contractors, especially short-term and sub-contractors. “I don’t know what security they’re being subjected to, and I think that

precinct. In May of 2012, RCMP Assistant Commissioner James Malizia addressed the House on the matter. He pointed out that providing security on the Hill requires close collaboration with partners, including the Senate and House of Commons security services. A master security planning office was set up. The Ottawa police service isn’t mentioned in his remarks, nor in notes from the legislative council secretariat about security on the Hill. Malizia’s comments do express how events that occur off of Parliament Hill can affect security, but the comments focus mainly on large protests and visiting dignitaries. Ottawa police did not provide information about its role in the master security plan or what protocols exist for communication of incidents between the police, RCMP and security teams on Parliament Hill. Deputy Chief Jill Skinner declined to respond to the same question.

THE CITY OF OTTAWA IS CURRENTLY RECRUITING RESIDENTS TO SERVE ON VARIOUS COMMITTEES AND BOARDS

R0012966506

News - Long before a gunman gained access to the Centre Block of Parliament Hill last week, the member of parliament for Ottawa South had been calling for enhanced security measures. From advocating that MPs’ and Senators’ staffers undergo mandatory security checks to installing swipe-card technology at entrances to the Hill, MP David McGuinty said, “We’re not trying to create Fortress Parliament, but we have to be cognizant that there are new circumstances and we have to choose the right balance.” Calling Oct. 22 a “very black day,” he said he agrees with those people who have said “it’s a loss of innocence for our city, maybe even our country. “I’ve been worried about this for years. You know, you’ll say it’ll never happen, it’ll never happen. But you worry,” he said. “I haven’t felt this kind of palpable fear since the morning of 9/11.” For at least the past five years, McGuinty has been sounding the alarm over lacklustre security measures on Parliament Hill, and advocating for enhanced security measures around the perimeter of the Parliament buildings, as well as replacing the current photo identification entry requirement for a swipe card and turnstile system at Hill entrances. A turnstile would provide a physical impediment, while swipe cards also let security know who’s in the building and when, he added. Some progress has been made since McGuinty first started calling for changes, such as the installation of retractable steel bollards at various access points in the approach to Centre Block. But it’s not enough to suit McGuinty. “I’m not the only one,” said the MP, who began calling for change the day after the Greenpeace protest on Dec. 7, 2009, during which protestors scaled the Parliament Buildings.

issue. “There’s no security check unless you work for a minister – the point being that there’s a lot of people who work for MPs and senators,” he said. “I just think that could be expanded.” There is a voluntary security screening process available for staffers, something that McGuinty has required of his staff for more than five years. However, this check doesn’t give staff members secret-level security clearance, which he said he would prefer. Another issue that has been raised is the complication that arises when co-ordinating security services with three agencies – the Ottawa police, RCMP and Hill security staff – which was the subject of an auditor general’s report in 2012. The report advised that the House of Commons administration should look at establishing one unified security force for the entire Parliamentary

News - An Orléans man – Sergeant-at-Arms Kevin Vickers – is being hailed as a hero for shooting at an attacker who entered the Parliament Building on Oct. 22. Vickers, a former officer with the RCMP in New Brunswick, was applauded by Prime Minister Stephen Harper and members of parliament during a standing ovation that lasted two-and-a-half minutes in the House of Commons on Oct. 23, the day after gun violence rocked the nation’s capital, sending shockwaves across the country. During the thunderous applause, Vickers glanced at the MPs and nodded several times to acknowledge their gratitude. As he walked the length of the House he appeared to be very moved by the praise shown by the political representatives. Calling Vickers “a very fine man, very quiet, very unassuming,” Ottawa South MP David McGuinty said it is very fortunate Vickers was there when the gunman gained access to Centre Block.

“This person, who’s been killed, walked right by the two main doors going into the Conservative caucus room and the NDP caucus room,” McGuinty said the day of the shootings. Vickers has served in his House of Commons role since 2006, said Ottawa-Orléans MP Royal Galipeau. The job has a ceremonial aspect, as Vickers carries a mace into the House of Commons at sittings, and he is also the head of security for House of Commons. Galipeau said Vickers isn’t normally armed, but keeps a handgun in his office, which he used to shoot at alleged terrorist Michael Zehaf-Bibeau. “Our security did an amazing job, and Kevin Vickers is an inspirational man,” Galipeau said, expressing pride for the resident of his OttawaOrléans riding. “And the staff that work for him are every bit as professional.” Vickers released a statement the day after the shooting, giving credit to his “remarkable” security team. “I am very touched by the attention directed at me following yesterday’s events,”

he said. “I am grateful and proud to be part of this team. House of Commons security services also maintains a close working relationship with its security partners, including Senate security, the RCMP and the Ottawa police. This close collaboration made it possible to pull together and quickly restore order in the Parliamentary precinct and throughout the downtown core.” In his statement, Vickers said Const. Samearn Son, a 10-year employee of the House of Commons, suffered a gunshot wound to the leg, but was in stable condition and expected to make a full recovery. Son made attempts to stop Zehaf-Bibeau. McGuinty, who said he’s known Vickers for several years, said it was a stroke of luck that Vickers was nearby when Zehaf-Bibeau stormed into the building. “We were very fortunate to have the sergeant-at-arms in his office, which is literally right in that corridor,” McGuinty said. “He could have been upstairs in the cafeteria having coffee. “He could have been at a dentist’s appointment today knowing it’s a caucus day. The timing is fortuitous.”

Emergency response to see post-crisis review: deputy mayor Erin McCracken

Office workers from the Parliamentary precinct walk towards a police cordon at Metcalfe and Slater Streets on Oct. 22, following a lockdown of the area. A review of the city’s emergency response during the downtown shooting crisis will likely be conducted, according to Ottawa Deputy Mayor Steve Desroches. Desroches, who sat in on a number of emergency operations meetings at city hall that morning along with fellow Deputy Mayor Eli El-Chantiry, councillor for West Carleton-March and chair of the city’s police services board. During those meetings, the city’s co-ordinated emergency response protocol was rolled out, and operational decisions

“I think the residents can be reassured that we have top notch emergency personnel, and when there is a crisis our city’s emergency response system is activated and the city’s in a state of readiness and able and staffed to respond.” At that point, he said, it becomes all hands on deck, from the city’s transportation, transit and public health departments to police, fire, paramedics and bylaw personnel. He doesn’t anticipate that security measures at city hall will need to change in light of the recent incidents. While the city can’t possibly plan for every scenario, it does have a system in place so that municipal departments can respond to a major crisis, Desroches said. “I think as a nation’s capital we prepared for an incident, an emergency,” he said. “We knew collectively this is a post-9/11 generation. We knew we had to prepare and be ready and I guess we collectively hoped that it wouldn’t happen.”

our city is able to respond, our city’s able to communicate during times of crisis, (that) we’re able to make decisions, we’re able to support who’s affected and were able to keep our city moving at the same time an incident is unfolding or has concluded.” Desroches credited Mayor Jim Watson and Ottawa police Chief Charles Bordeleau for responding to the crisis with level heads in the midst of a rapidly evolving situation involving conflicting information and many unknowns – whether there was more than one shooting, and more than one gunman. “I think the city is in very strong and capable hands,” Desroches said. “Not everyone handles crisis well, but I’m very impressed with how the chief and the mayor handle crisis and gather facts and make prudent decisions, because in many occasions you’re getting conflicting information, distorted information, you’re getting partial information.

News - Lessons have been learned following last week’s lockdown of much of Ottawa’s downtown core when a solitary gunman shot a Canadian soldier then made his way into the Parliament Buildings, according to the city’s deputy mayor. For the second time in four years, the city’s emergency operations centre was activated the morning of Oct. 22 – the first time was in 2013 when six people died after an OC Transpo bus collided with a train in Barrhaven. “I think our systems were activated quite effectively,” said Deputy Mayor Steve Desroches, who was in the locked down city hall at the time of the shootings. “(The emergency ops centre) involves all of the department heads coming together to ensure that our emergency services are co-ordinated, and that way (ensuring) the continuity of the city,” said

cilitate traffic and keep transit moving.” Plans were also developed that day to deter additional traffic from coming downtown. For that reason, city hall was closed “to take some pressure off the transportation grid,” he said, adding that decisions also had to be made on how and when to bring the transit system along Albert and Slater streets, which were closed during the downtown lockdown, back online. There likely will be a review of the city’s response and how it can be improved. “I certainly expect that from our officials and I think residents do as well, that if we can tighten it up, if we can strengthen, that’s certainly the objective of this,” he said. The challenge is that officials cannot plan for every scenario. “We live in a free society, a very dynamic one. There’s very, very many risk points, but the primary goal is that our emergency services (and)

Ottawa Centre MP hails Hill security guard as hero Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Ottawa Centre MP Paul Dewar agreed that Canada lost its innocence on Oct. 22, but said the country and city are resilient and have weathered security threats before. “When I was a kid, I was a paperboy here in Ottawa. We had what was called the FLQ crisis and we had soldiers in the streets and as a paperboy, they’d be looking at my bag,” Dewar said. “We’ve been through difficult situations before, but this one was different because if where it happened, how it happened. So yes, there

is a bit of that innocence that has been lost, but we’re also a G7 country and we are not naive. We are aware of what the threats are in the world and we have to regroup and be smart about how we respond.” Speaking in a crowd gathered at the National War Memorial the day after the shootings, Dewar recounted his experience on Oct. 22. Dewar was about to meet with the NDP caucus when shooting broke out in the Hall of Honour when gunman Michael Zehaf-Bibeau burst into Parliament’s Centre Block wielding a rifle. Dewar hailed both Sergeant-at-Arms Kevin Vickers and a second security

guard, Craig Burrett, as heroes. Vickers has been applauded for taking down the gunman, but Dewar said Burrett was right next to Vickers and was the only other security member who shot Zehaf-Bibeau, Dewar said. Furthermore, Burrett protected a group of people, including Dewar, in the moments after the shooting inside Parliament’s Hall of Honour. “Here is a person who is dealing with a gunman and then was helping us be secure,” Dewar said. “He took a bunch of us, including Mr. (Tom) Mulcair, down the tunnel, through East Block to

have us in a secure place. I can’t thank him enough.” Burrett ensured everyone was safe and on the floor in a secured area and continued to give them updates and information that kept everyone calm, Dewar said. The Ottawa West News has been unable to

confirm Burrett’s name and its spelling. “I just think that people like that who do their jobs every day, who we just normally don’t even pay attention to them. He has to be singled out, as well as Mr. Vickers,” Dewar said.

Clairvoyance Palmistry Past Lives Astrology Tarot Cards Tea Cups

“It makes you feel very humble about the fact that we take our security, often, for granted. It makes you thank the people who are there to protect us,” Dewar said. “I am very thankful they were there yesterday to protect our lives yesterday.”

It is a mistake to think that charitable gifting is only for people at a certain income level. Anyone can leave a charitable gift from their estate, regardless of the size of the estate. A gift is a gift, no matter how big or small and every bit helps and is appreciated. The good news is that including a gift in your Will is very easy

and will benefit many people. A charitable gift to Forever CHEO enhances the quality of life for children and their families in our community and leaves donors with a sense of fulfillment. Leaving a charitable gift also has some interesting tax benefits which are worth considering.

Another misconception is that you have to volunteer your time in order to give back to your community. Many hard-working people want to make a positive difference in their community, but don’t have time to do it. Leaving a legacy gift in your Will is a great way to give back to the community without having to compromise your time.

News - A man is in police custody after he crossed caution tape surrounding the National War Memorial site of yesterday’s fatal shooting while Prime Minister Stephen Harper was set to lay a wreath. Ottawa police officers gathered along the barricades surround the site of yesterday’s fatal shooting of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo moved quickly, guns drawn. They shouted at the unarmed man to put his hands up and get down on the ground, which he did. Tensions in the area were high as politicians, media and members of the public gathered the morning after Ottawa was shaken by the killing and subsequent attack on Parliament Hill’s centre block, which left the gunman, Michael Zehaf-Bibeau, dead.

Laura Mueller/Metroland

On the morning of Oct. 23, Ottawa police take down an unarmed man who crossed a barrier surrounding the site of the fatal shooting of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo the day before. The man who breached the security perimeter on Oct. 3 around 9 a.m. is currently in police custody and being interviewed, said Ottawa police Const. Chuck Benoit. “It’s being investigated,”

he said. “There was no threat found ... no weapon.” The man’s reasons for breaching the perimeter are still unknown, Benoit said, adding that charges could be pending.

Community - Ever since Lucie Marleau moved to Vanier, she hasn’t stopped working to reduce crime in the neighbourhood and make her community

a safer place to live. It was seven years ago when Marleau, along with a small group of Vanier residents formed Vanier Beautification Group, which set out to clean up crime in the community. By adding flowers in old

forgotten flower boxes, and picking up garbage along residential streets the group sought to make the neighbourhood a safer place. Since then, Marleau has remained an active member of the group, and has taken it

upon herself to start a whole new initiative this past spring. In May, Marleau launched Crime Prevention Vanier to reintroduce weekly summer walkabouts with residents, a light up your porch campaign and the goal to increase the number of neighbourhood watches in Vanier. Many of these activities are things that were initially introduced by Crime Prevention Ottawa when that organization was active in the area. Marleau’s recent efforts to reduce crime in the neighbourhood have not gone unnoticed, as she will be the recipients of one of Crime Prevention Ottawa’s volunteer of the year awards. “My pet name for Lucie (Marleau) is deputy Lucie,” said Marguerite Beaulieu, a fellow founding Beautification member. “Since the day I met

Every year during Crime Prevention Week in November, the organization recognizes people and programs which have made a difference in preventing crime and mak-

MacLeod kicks off PC leadership campaign effort Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - Lisa MacLeod said her biggest strength for the coming race to lead Ontario’s Progressive Conservatives is her ability to connect with people just like her. MacLeod, MPP for Nepean-Carleton, launched her campaign on Oct. 19 at the National Arts Centre. “I have been able to, in the last four elections, in the biggest city in eastern Ontario, to build a coalition to send me to Queen’s Park,” she said. “It’s because I have been able to connect with people just like me – who are either a new Ontarian or a soccer mom, who aren’t traditionally voting Progressive Conservative – but have chosen me as their messenger. I am going to reconnect with them across Ontario.” MacLeod faces some stiff competition from Christine Elliot, the wife of late federal finance minister Jim Flaherty, as well as caucus mates Vic Fedeli, Monte McNaughton

and federal Conservative MP Patrick Brown have already announced they’re running for the leadership. From now until the two votes on May 3 and 7, MacLeod said she plans to visit all 107 ridings in the province. “If I am the leader I will ensure Ontarians believe in us again,” she said. MacLeod kicked off her campaign with a high octane cheering session and a crowd of supporters – including husband Joe Varner and their daughter Victoria. Victoria’s Girl Guide troop was also on hand selling cookies while people registered to become card-carrying Conservatives. She also had support from York Region and Simcoe County MPPs Julia Munro and Garfield Dunlop, as well as neighbouring MPPs Steve Clark (Leeds-Grenville) and Jim McDonnell (StormontDundas-South Glengarry). She said the path to success is a return to basics. “We need to believe in what we stand for again,” she said.

“No more campaign surprises. Those elected by the executive and the members of caucus will have a seat at the table for the campaign. I can’t wait for those debates.” MacLeod said the core values of living within our means while helping those who can’t help themselves is a message that will allow Ontarians to believe in the PCs again. “June 12 was the toughest day of my political career,” MacLeod said, referring to the recent election results. “Like everyone here (at the NAC), my heart was broken when our party lost our fourth consecutive election to a tired, worn out and scandal-plagued Liberal government. I believe we need to reconnect with Ontarians by showing them that the values they hold dear are the same values that unite us as Progressive Conservatives.” MacLeod said she came to Ontario as a university student with a loan and $200 in her pocket. She saw Ontario as the land of opportunity with a minimum wage twice that of

Notice of Study Completion Riverside South Elevated Water Storage Tank Class Environmental Assessment Report Available for Review The City of Ottawa has completed a Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) study for the selection of a preferred location for the Riverside South Elevated Water Storage Tank. The tank, which is identified in the City’s Infrastructure Master Plan, is expected to be required to supplement the supply of water under future peak demand conditions. A suitable property must be identified and reserved for this future purpose. This project has been planned as Schedule ‘B’ projects under the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment document (2007). The purpose of the Class EA study was to confirm project need and justification, document existing environmental conditions, examine alternatives and potential impacts, and recommend the preferred location.

The first step to changing the course the province is on is to pick the right leader, MacLeod said. “I will need you to sell memberships, make phone calls and raise money,” she said. “This will be a long campaign, but made easier with your help.” When asked if her ties to

her native Nova Scotia. Now she calls it a havenot province, with a debt load higher than all other provinces combined. She said she doesn’t want to see the next generation leave Ontario to find a land of opportunity in Newfoundland, Alberta or Saskatchewan.

Tim Hudak would hurt her in the leadership race, MacLeod said every leadership candidate was a member of the party during Hudak’s tenure. “Success has a million fathers, but failure is an orphan,” MacLeod said. “At the end of the day the biggest thing I can do is reconnect with people that haven’t been connecting with our party. They will look at my story, they’ll look at my energy and the teams I have been able to build.”

preparing for the world tournament with us.” Having a player out of the province is one of the reasons the team needs help with fundraising. Lynn and Breanne have played at world junior championships. The team hopes to progress into the women’s competitive ranks. “We hope that we will continue. We would love to meet up when we are all on the same age category. “For now we’re going to enter a lot of bonspiels to prepare ourselves for February,” says Lynn. “We have already played in three events as a team, also have Nov. 1 plus two other competitive events. The Curling for a Cause bonspiel is helping us raise the money we need to prepare for the world competition.” Each team plays two games in the Nov. 1 bonspiel. “It is difficult to find sponsorships in curling,” says Lynn. “Kelly MacNaull and Hunt Club are generously putting on this event for us.” Curling for a Cause Founder Kelly MacNaull was the Marketing Director for CHEO BBQ for many years prior to launching

the bonspiel fundraiser. “I love doing fundraising and wanted to do something charitable on my own. My husband and I started curling last year and I wanted to tie my event into that,” she says. “Curling is a great sport, very social. It’s gaining in popularity and the success of the Olympic team has helped too. People are starting to realize it is not just a hobby, but an actual sport.” The bonspiel can hold up to 24 teams, with about 16 registered. “Curling has just opened for the year,” says Kelly. “We are still looking for last minute registrations. The bonspiel is open to all curlers in Ottawa area. This is just to go out and have fun and help our girls raise some of the $42,000 they need to represent our country in the world games. They could do very well.” For more information on Curling for a Cause, contact Kelly MacNaull at 613-850-3716 or by email to kmacnaull@hotmail.com.

in the lineup outside Michael Kors. “(The mall) has got deals and new stores in Ottawa. There is finally a place for women to shop.” According to Tanger Outlets’ own statistics, its cus-

PET OF THE WEEK

the 1,000 projected jobs go to locals is up to the retailers themselves who hire their own employees, while Tanger has its own team, he said. Among the stores like Coach, Guess, Tommy Hilfiger, Puma and Adidas were people dressed up in costume, including a scarecrow, a tree and a ninja turtle. Down one of the outdoor walking lanes was a CocaCola machine that dispensed free drinks to anyone who would hug it. There was also a skating rink and a climbing wall, with fireworks scheduled for the evening of Oct. 17, and a performance by Olympic figure skating medalists Tessa Virtue and Scott Moire at noon on Oct. 18. Tanger said the Kanata location at 8555 Campeau Dr. was chosen because of the easy access to Highway 417 and the proximity to the Canadian Tire Centre. “Everybody knows how to get to the arena, so it’s an easy place to find,” he said.

Pet Adoptions Are Reptiles Right for You? Now more commonly viewed as cool rather than creepy, it seems reptiles are an increasingly popular choice for people who are in the market for a new pet. Reptiles certainly do have some qualities that make them lower maintenance than some other types of pets: they don’t need to be walked, they don’t shed (at least not fur!), some reptiles need to be fed only once a week or so, and they generally don’t make much noise.

NANOOkA ID#A167648 Nanooka (A167648) is a playful and social Siberian husky mix looking for her happy ever after with an outdoorsy companion. Nanooka is looking for an active owner who will take her out for plenty of walks and who likes to throw a ball as much as she loves to catch it! She is an intelligent and energetic pooch who is eager to learn and happiest when playing with other pups. Nanooka gets along well with dogsavvy kitties and enjoys the company of other pooches. She likes meeting new people and would love more than anything to be in a forever home with a human companion she can be a faithful friend to for years to come.

That being said, reptiles are by no means maintenance-free pets. They come with their own unique set of needs and challenges. Most reptiles sold at pet stores are exotic species – animals that are not native to this area and instead have been transported here by humans over hundreds of years. The Ottawa Humane Society believes that the best place for wild or exotic animals like reptiles is in their natural environment because it is very challenging to meet all of the needs of these animals outside of their natural home. Reptiles often have very specific housing requirements in terms of light, heat, and humidity, which require careful and frequent monitoring to ensure your pet is comfortable and healthy in their environment. Many reptile

species can live for 20 years or longer, making them a long term commitment. Certain reptiles can grow quite large over time and will require larger enclosures as they age. For some larger species of reptiles, these enclosures can sometimes cost upwards of $500. Finally, a number of reptiles eat things that people don’t always enjoy keeping around the house, such as live insects or rodents. And, like any other pet, reptiles should be seen regularly by a veterinarian to ensure they are healthy. This combination of food, enclosures, accessories, vet visits, and an impacted hydro bill can add up to quite a costly investment. In addition to cats, dogs, and other furry and feathered pets, the OHS also receives reptiles that are brought to us as strays or owner surrenders. Although the OHS doesn’t offer reptiles for adoption, we work with community partners to find safe, appropriate placements for the reptiles we receive. The OHS encourages anyone who is considering adding a reptile to their family to take the time to research the needs of these intricate species and ensure that owning a pet reptile is a commitment you and your family are ready to make.

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

News - If there was any doubt that Ottawa residents were excited for the grand opening of the Tanger Outlets mall in Kanata on Oct. 17, there isn’t now. Thousands of people travelled from across the city and farther to be some of the first shoppers at a selection of retail stores that Steven Tanger, president and CEO of Tanger Outlets, said are unique in Ottawa. “There is nothing like this that has ever been here before,” he said. “We have 75 of the best brand-name stores in the world.” “You can buy direct from the manufacturers. You don’t have to pay the middle man their profit, which is great, and you save money. You save a lot of money,” he said. For many, the price of admission was a long wait on Highway 417, as shoppers inched their way to the

tomers tend to be 66 per cent women and have an average annual household income of $71,000. Anne Postma from Kanata was a little bit more reserved in her reaction to the new mall, saying her opening-day shopping was, “So far, so good.” Overall, she said the mall is a good thing for Ottawa, but could actually be a little bit bigger. Tanger said he was thrilled by the success of the opening day, but added that Ottawa’s reaction is “pretty normal. “There are not a lot of outlet centres in the United States and there are certainly not a lot in Canada, so when we open a Tanger centre, there is great excitement and people come and look,” he said. The $115-million mall is expected to create about 1,000 full- and part-time retail jobs, said Tanger, while an additional 700 jobs were created during the construction phase of the centre. Tanger said whether or not
