Hotel, condos proposed for Sparks and Bay Developers to demolish existing apartment building Steph Willems
steph.willems@metroland.com
Lots of change will be coming to the west Centretown area if a development application receives city approval. Morguard Developments hopes to demolish three vacant buildings: two 17-storey twin hotel blocks – formerly the National Hotel and
Suites – and a three-storey apartment building. All are located at the southwest corner of Sparks and Bay streets. The company would then like to build a 27-storey hotel and 23-storey mixed use building. A six-storey podium would connect the two towers, which would share an entry plaza and underground parking access. An addition would also be added to an existing 12-storey office tower on the east side of the site. See DEVELOPERS, page 6

5.7 per cent of Ottawa’s population in 2011. Similarly, Middle Eastern residents were stopped in 14 per cent of all checks despite representing only 4.6 per cent of Ottawa’s population. Meanwhile, white people – with more than 75 per cent of the city’s population - were stopped 58 per cent of the time, and Asians, who represent 11 per cent, were only stopped two per cent of the time. Eighty per cent of the stops targeted men, and 40 per cent were in their 20s. Bordeleau said the numbers are not concerning because Ottawa’s street check program isn’t random – a criticism that has caused significant outcry in Toronto, where residents argue the practice of “carding” is biased toward visible minorities. “We don’t do random street checks,” Bordeleau said. “There has to be a reason why we stop an individual.” For example, if someone is wandering the streets at 3 a.m. in a neighbourhood that has had a rash of recent break-ins, an officer may stop that person to ask what they’re up to. Depending on the information they get, it would be submitted to the data base as a street check, Bordeleau said. Or police could act on community tips. “When we get complaints from neighbours that there’s potential drug activity taking place, officers will stop individuals going in and out of the house and document those individuals, and those will go toward the investigation and hopefully a warrant,” Bordeleau said. He pointed out that the number of street checks conducted between 2010 and 2014 have been cut nearly in half, to 4,405 in 2014 from 8,240 in 2010. That’s largely to do with new quality assurance policies the service has started to implement to clarify what constitutes an appropriate street check, Bordeleau said. “As we’re adding a lot more clearance and guidelines for officers and direction as to when they are required to submit a street check, that has led to the number of street checks being diminished,” he said. But criminal defence lawyer Leo Russomanno argued street checks, as a matter of course, are a problem, even if they’re not random. He said most people don’t real-
ize they have the right to refuse a street check, and as such they become de facto illegal. “If they don’t believe they have a choice to co-operate, they are being essentially illegally searched,” Russomanno said. He said officers should be informing everyone they stop that they have a choice to walk away. That’s particularly important in the context of the racial bias he said can be found in the numbers. “There are some of us who are being stopped more than others, and it cries out for an explanation,” Russomanno said. “If you’re an ethnic minority, and you’ve been stopped 20 times, whereas I’ve never been stopped, then you might get a little bit annoyed and think, ‘the next time an officer stops me I won’t co-operate.’” He said the committee should be asking for a legal opinion on the legality of street checks, why the racial statistics are so skewed, and whether officers should be required to inform individuals of their right to refuse co-operation. “Otherwise, all we’re doing is taking advantage of the ignorance of the vast majority of the public,” Russomanno said. ONGOING STUDY
The provincial government announced this spring it will study the use of street check programs across Ontario, with an eye on standardizing the practice province-wide by spring of 2016. But Ottawa’s police service has already been reviewing its own program, which has no formal policy despite the fact that more than 4,000 are performed each year. It plans to continue its consultation work this summer, the results of which it will share with the province. “We want to continue with internal and external consultations, because we think it’s going to contribute to a larger discussion in the community about bias-free policing,” said Inspector Mark Patterson, who has been leading the review. He added that the force wants to increase awareness in the community about how street checks are used and what rights an individual has when asked to participate. He said the service’s final policy will align with whatever standardized policy the province decides on next spring.

Police charged a 45-year-old man with first-degree murder one day after the stabbing death of Gail Fawcett in front of an Anna Avenue home. The tranquility of the leafy Carlington street was shattered in the early afternoon of July 21 when, according to witnesses, a naked man holding a knife pursued a screaming woman out of a residence and began stabbing her. The violence was witnessed by an Ottawa paramedic who was responding to a medical call at the address. The paramedic kicked the knife away from the man, who was arrested without incident by police shortly after. Fawcett was pronounced dead in hospital shortly after the incident. Ottawa police spokesman Const. Chuck Benoit said the medical call came in at 1:04 p.m. “Police attend to all medical calls, unless they’re specifically called off,” said Benoit. “The paramedic arrived on the scene

Charges laid in transit station stabbing Steph Willems
steph.willems@metroland.com
Police have laid assault charges against a 19-year-old man after another man was stabbed at the Lincoln Fields transit station on July 23. The suspect was on the loose after the incident happened around noon, but he surrendered to police later that evening. He has been charged with one count each of aggravated assault, assault with a weapon and possession of a weapon. A 37-year-old man was taken to hospital with minor injuries after an argument led to a stabbing at the Lincoln Fields station around noon. The incident took place on the westbound platform of the station, causing Transitway buses to briefly be rerouted onto Carling and Woodroffe avenues.The victim’s assailant fled the scene of the attack. “Two guys had a fight, and one guy went down,” said Const. Dan Jesty, adding that he heard the young man’s injuries were not serious enough to pose a threat

Think about it... it all has to go somewhere. Space provided through a partnership between industry and Ontario municipalities to support waste diversion programs.
A zoning amendment and site plan submitted to the city by Morguard would affect the entire block bounded by Bay, Lyon, Queen and Sparks streets. The site is across Lyon from Ottawa’s tallest building, at 112 metres – Place de Ville Phase 3 – and adjacent to Lyon Station of the Confederation Line LRT system, expected to open in 2018. The proximity to tall buildings and mass transit factors into the planning rationale submitted to the city by Fotenn Consultants, which asks for greater heights than the site’s current zoning allows. Darren Cohen, assistant to Somerset Coun. Catherine McKenney, said the site’s zoning allows mixed-use developments up to 64 metres in height. The developer is asking for heights of 84.5 metres and 77.5 metres for the hotel and mixed-use building, respectively, he said. “They’re asking for an exemption from the zoning to go up to that height, but it’s still below the (Parliament Hill) sight planes in the

Our athletes are a making us proud
I
t was so easy to be smug about the Pan Am Games. The Games are in Toronto, the one place in Canada that those of us who live outside of the GTA can stand united in our shared disdain. Here in Ottawa, for the past few years, has there been any more enjoyable sport than laughing at the plight of the sad-sack Maple Leafs? But it wasn’t just those of us outside Toronto who so easily dismissed the Pan Am Games. Media reports in the lead up to the start of the Games were at times gleeful in the way they pointed out that even in Hogtown the event was not creating a buzz among residents. It was just the Pan Am Games after all, not the Olympics. Stories about slow ticket sales were the norm, and much of the coverage from the national media focused on the manner in which the Games were going to be an inconvenience to residents of that city rather than an event to create civic and national pride. And then a funny thing happened, as is often the case, when the Games actually began. Canadians, from coast to coast, started to embrace the Games
and have been delighted by the level of success our athletes are accomplishing. Athletes from Ottawa and the Valley have been among those collecting a record number of Pan Am medals for Canada. It is moments like the 100-watt smile on the face of Nepean born and raised Andrew D’Souza’s face after he beat the top ranked player to make the gold medal match in badminton that we should be focused on. D’Souza ended up with the Pan Am silver medal for badminton. And let’s not forget Eganville’s Melissa Bishop who won a gold medal in the women’s 800-metre final. This was quite the story, considering she missed a month of training in May due to an ankle injury. For many of the athletes from this area who are participating in the Games, this will be as big as it gets in their career. Some may go on to represent Canada at the Olympics or at world championships, but many won’t. The Pan Am Games is an experience they will cherish for the rest of their lives. Yes, it was easy to be smug about the Games before they began, but now it is all about our athletes, and they richly deserved their moment to shine.

It’s a murky system that hasn’t been properly monitored for years. No surprise then that public health estimates 63,000 Ottawa students do not have up-to-date immunization records. Thus, the robo-calls and a special online form where parents can enter information. So far, the campaign, which seems complicated and onerous, hasn’t been well-received by some parents. After almost hanging up on the confusing robo-call myself, I checked to make sure that my kids are up to date with their immunizations. I realized they were, but their paper yellow cards weren’t.

Ottawa West News - Thursday, July 30, 2015
One child had multiple versions with various dates; another seemed to be missing a record of a booster, even though I was confident he’d had it done. Fortunately for my family, we’ve had the same doctor since my eldest child was born. Fifteen minutes in the office and the nurse had all three records printed on the doctor’s letterhead – a digital version of the yellow card. Getting it to Ottawa Public Health from there should’ve been easy. Initially, it didn’t appear to be. It’s not a perfect system. But take a wee break from your summer vacation and contact Ottawa Public Health by phone, fax, email or online form to get your child’s immunization record up-to-date. Forty public health staff are on hand to process your material. It may be a hassle, but at the end of the day, it’s the only way we can CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING SALES:

Algonquin public relations students serve up new breakfast campaign Bring on Breakfast sets out to fund meals for young students Leah Burchill
Each year the students of the public relations program at Algonquin College get busy working with local charities. Algonquin wants students to get a hands-on experience, and this year the first year PR students have launched a Bring on Breakfast campaign to support the Ottawa Network for Education’s school breakfast program. During the school year, the breakfast program serves 13,000 students in 166 Ottawa schools; that’s about two million breakfasts each year for kids who might otherwise start their day of learning with empty stomachs. “They (students) brainstorm issues or causes important to them,” said public relations Prof. Bradley Moseley-Williams. “This year hands down it would be the breakfast pro-
gram”. The Bring on Breakfast campaign launched on July 14 at Algonquin Student Commons will hold six events in total, with four used to raise awareness and funds. The students will host the four main events over the course of the summer, each with its own fun theme. “Our main goal is $5,000, but I think we basically just want to raise awareness and raise funds,” said Nashveen Mendes, a student involved with running the campaign. For 31 years the successes of the PR students working with charitable organization like the Ottawa Network for Education have been very successful. Since the first year, the Algonquin students have raised over $330,000. Over the course of Bring on Breakfast, the PR students and the ONE’s school breakfast program will work
in partnership with other charitable organizations, four different Ottawa school boards, local businesses, government sources, and of course giving individuals. “I think it’s a great program, I think it’s doing fantastic work, and I’m really excited,” said Megan Dewey, a student involved with the campaign. Supplying healthy foods like fruit, dairy products and whole grains to Ottawa students is the program’s main goal. Students who participate will be able to start their school day with the most important meal of the day. “You can literally see the direct impact,” said PR student Marina Macleod about the local Ottawa students the campaign will help.

NOTICE OF STUDY COMMENCEMENT LEMIEUX ISLAND SHORELINE RESTORATION MUNICIPAL CLASS ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT The City of Ottawa is planning for the restoration of the northwest shoreline on Lemieux Island. Lemieux Island is located in the Ottawa River between Ottawa and Gatineau. It can be accessed through the Rivers Street Bridge from Ottawa. Lemieux Island’s main use is to accommodate one of the City of Ottawa’s Water Purification Plants. The northwest shoreline of the Lemieux Island, adjacent to the lower level parking area, has eroded significantly. The northwest corner of the Island is composed of mostly weak and fragmented limestone, which is causing progressive recession of the shoreline and weakening of several parking lot fence posts which are currently either leaning or have fallen over completely. It is projected that if erosion is allowed to continue, the adjacent green space and parking lot will be impacted. Thus, shoreline stabilization is required to halt and prevent further erosion. The project is being planned as a Schedule ‘B’ undertaking and is to follow the requirements of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment process (October 2000, as amended in 2007 & 2011). Input and comments are invited for incorporation into the planning and design of this project and will be received until August 6th, 2015. Subject to comments received and the receipt of necessary approvals, the City of Ottawa intends to proceed with the planning and design as defined in the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment process.

If it’s Wednesday, it must be Ottawa. The Ottawa Easy Riders – a cycling club for recreational riders – has been on the road for nearly a decade, setting out on Wednesdays for trips around the city. The club was founded in 2006 by Bob and Anne Hawley and Geoff and Eileen Wilson. They were all experienced cyclists when they met in Holland on a cycling trip. The Hawleys had previously cycled with the Carravelo group, a well-known cycling club in Montreal, and intended to create their own cycling group here in Ottawa. Each year the Ottawa Easy Riders grow in numbers. “We’re at 24 to 30 members; a good size for a cycling group,” said Geoff. ‘We’re all largely retired people 50 and over.” The group meets weekly between the months of April and October to cycle every
Wednesday. Each trip is in and around the Ottawa area. The riders kicked off their first trip this year in April, starting their 21-kilometre trip at Hog’s Back Park. “The trips are 20 to 40 kilometres long,” Wilson said. “We travel farthest east to Cornwall and farthest west to Carleton Place, and into Gatineau.” To add to the list of routes the riders have cycled, in September 2014 about 20 Easy Riders took a trip to Germany and cycled within that country. While cycling the group looks out for each other. The rides do involve physical activity however they are also a chance for members to socialize and make new friends who share the same enjoyment for cycling. During the rides, the group will often calculate break times to visit scenic views or interesting spots along the way. For more information, visit www.ottawaeasyriders.org.

within the French public board may attend various schools because of specialty programs, but Tarik was told he could not be enrolled because the school did not have enough information about his academic record or the reason for his transfer from Gisele Lalonde. There was also concern with him changing schools for a third time in high school, as he had attended Louis Riel in Grade 9 for that school’s sports program. Tarik said he changed to Gisele Lalonde for Grade 10 because the transportation to attend Louis Riel from his rural Navan home was a challenge. “Students have free access and are allowed to choose the school they want,” Delphine Denis, media spokesperson for the French public board, said in
area for Cairine Wilson Secondary School in the English public board, and he sought enrollment eight days into the 2014-15 school year. Cairine Wilson principal Kevin Gilmore sent an email to Ahmed on Sept. 10, 2014, in which he says he was “unable to register” Tarik. He listed Tarik’s English language abilities as one reason and wrote in the email that an alleged incident involving Tarik’s brother also played a part in the decision. “I’m not in a position to register him at the current time, at least until I gather further information about Tarik ... understand his purpose in registering late at our school, and, finally, weigh the potential impact of his brother’s history at our school,” Gilmore wrote. See TEEN, page 14

Sixteen-year-old Tarik Bouragba hasn’t been to school since October 2014, because two local school boards have refused him admission, and another will only offer an alternative program for children who don’t fit into regular classes. The case appears to violate the teen’s right to an education, but the school boards are hesitant to talk, and even his local MPP has refused comment. Tarik’s father, Ahmed Bouragba, is an Ottawa public board elementary teacher, and says his son is being punished for his father’s actions when he served with the Ontario College of Teachers. “It’s a mess you can’t imag-
He said he identified a potential conflict of interest with a lawyer who sat on the council while also representing several school boards. The problems for his son stem from that, he says. Tarik was a Grade 10 student at Gisele Lalonde in Orléans in the 2013-14 school year, but only ended up getting five of his eight credits, failing three. Tarik said he felt bullied at the school and it appeared teachers were punishing him for issues to do with his father or brother; things that shouldn’t have affected him. He didn’t feel comfortable there during the first few days of Grade 11 in September 2014, so his father withdrew him from the school. A few days later, he attempted to enrol at De La Salle, another French public school. Students

Ahmed decided he would try to enrol Tarik in an English public school; the same board where he is employed as an elementary school teacher. Tarik lives in the catchment

Teen to move to Algeria if he’s not accepted this fall Continued from page 12
Tarik’s first language is French, but he had no problem discussing his situation with a reporter in English. Ahmed said he’s seen students who speak no French or English accepted at a school in the English board where he teaches. He added that any issues with Tarik’s brother shouldn’t affect Tarik. Gilmore suggested Tarik in-
stead consider Norman Johnson Alternative School. The English public board says its alternative program is offered to students who “have difficulty in the traditional secondary school setting.” “It is our practice that all students are welcome to attend the OCDSB,” said Sharlene Hunter, media spokeperson for the English public board. “In certain instances, when there is a complexity of needs
and behaviours, we complete case conferences to ensure appropriate supports and school placement to ensure we are taking into account the needs of all of our learners.” Tarik ended up moving to live with his aunt in Rockland and enrolling in L’Escale high school in that community, which he said he loved. “They took him in like an injured bird,” Ahmed said of L’Escale. “He loved that

school.” He spent a month at the school and was doing well in classes, made friends, and was playing on the school’s soccer team. Both Ahmed and Tarik agree the principal and teachers were excellent and they believed Tarik was back on track to save his school year. A month later, they were told Tarik was no longer allowed to attend the school. The superintendent of the board said Tarik did not meet residency requirements because it appeared his Navan-based father was speaking on his behalf instead of his aunt in Rockland. Tarik’s last day of school was Oct. 15, 2014. He hasn’t attended school since. The Education Act says students can attend a secondary school if it shares a boundary with their local zone – which would make Tarik eligible to attend L’Escale if he lived in Navan. “I lost two years,” Tarik said. “I’m always at home and there’s nothing I can do about it.” Tarik is now the age where he should start Grade 12 this
fall and begin applying to postsecondary programs. He said he wants to be a paramedic or a police officer. But he still has to make up his failed Grade 10 credits and all his missed Grade 11 credits. Tarik hasn’t left the house much, and said he doesn’t feel right playing soccer and sports when he’s not studying and in school. The family contacted their MPP, Grant Crack, who serves as parliamentary assistant to the minister of education. Staff there refused to discuss the situation with Metroland Media without written consent from Ahmed. When he gave written consent to Crack’s office, staff there told the Bouragbas to attend an in-person meeting before a discussion with media could be approved, and that a meeting could take several weeks to set up. Since then, Ahmed has been told Crack’s office will not discuss the case with reporters. Crack’s local office staff directed Ahmed to have Metroland Media contact school board trustee Jean Lemay on behalf of L’Escale. Lemay did respond to

inquiries. The eastern Ontario Catholic French school board (CSDCEO), of which L’Escale is a part, also did not respond to inquiries. It’s left the family with very few answers about the future of Tarik’s education. The Education Act says students up to age 18 are legally required to be in school, but no one has helped ensure Tarik has a school to call home. It’s the parents’ responsibility to make sure their children are in school, and the responsibility of the board the child last attended to enforce attendance, said Derek Luk of the Ministry of Education. MOVE FROM CANADA
If Tarik doesn’t have a local school to attend in September, he’ll move to Algeria to live with his grandmother. While his dad said it’s not as safe as his Canadian home, he also said he can’t get by in life without an education. “We suffered a lot this year,” Ahmed said. “This is a basic violation of his rights. When we tell people, they don’t believe it. It’s not an option, it’s an obligation.”

F
or reasons unknown to me at the time, my older sister Audrey, when she had special prayers she felt needed to be sent to God, insisted I kneel with her on the braided rug beside our bed. These were prayers over and above those we had already said at our Mother’s knee at bedtime. I dared to ask Audrey one time why her special prayers couldn’t be included then, and her short retort made it perfectly clear why. “Certainly not. That’s all I need is for Emerson to hear what my special prayers were and all of Renfrew County would know about them before the sun set the next day.” And so, when the need arose, I was asked to join Audrey on the braided rug, and when I asked her why she couldn’t pray on her own, she said she learned
MARY COOK Memories at Sunday School that there was “safety in numbers.” I had no idea what she meant. But Audrey, who did many special favours for me, had a willing partner on the braided rug when she needed it. Questioning the why’s and the wherefore’s was not to concern me. And so, I found myself praying with Audrey for things, which had nothing to do with me whatsoever. This could be anything from being allowed to wear high
heels, to finding money for a store-bought bra, to being asked to go to the strawberry social at the United Church. I thought that last prayer was pushing her luck, since we were Lutherans, but there we were one night, both on our knees by the bed, and Audrey in barely a whisper, asking God to find someone to ask her to the Strawberry Social at the United Church.

Ad standards wants aborted fetus imagery removed Adam Kveton
adam.kveton@metroland.com
The anti-abortion No2Trudeau campaign that had volunteers leave postcards with images of aborted fetuses on Kanata doorsteps has received some push-back from Advertising Standards Canada thanks to a “very unusual” set of circumstances. Normally, the self-regulating agency made up of advertising industry members does not consider complaints on political advertising. However, a previous decision on a non-political ad campaign that used at least one of the images of an aborted fetus used in the No2Trudeau campaign has prompted the agency to ask those responsible for the campaign to change their advertising. But, despite ad standards’ previous decision, a spokesman for the campaign said it will continue to distribute the images without changes. “Their decision, I would actually word it as their opinion, on our postcards doesn’t actu-

Despite an Advertising Standards Canada communication asking No2Trudeau anti-abortion campaigners to change their advertising, the campaign will go ahead, said a representative from the Canadian Centre for Bio-Ethical Reform, which is partnering with the Campaign Life Coalition on the campaign. ally mean anything to us and it’s not going to stop anything we are doing,” said Jonathan Van Maren, spokesman for the Canadian Centre for Bio-Ethi-
cal Reform which, along with Campaign Life Coalition, is working to deliver hundreds of thousands of the anti-abortion postcards across Canada, and
20,000 in the Ottawa area. The campaign began distributing flyers in Kanata on July 2, prompting outrage from some parents who said their children were traumatized by seeing the images. The cards, which have images of aborted fetuses on both sides, were left in mailboxes, on doorsteps and, according to some residents, even given directly to a child on at least one occasion. Some parents, like north Kanata resident Shari Glenney Fisher, said she has no problem with the No2Trudeau campaign wanting to get their message out – they are free to do that, she said. But leaving potentially harmful images where children can see them is where she draws the line. “When my seven-year-old daughter walked out of the house to go to the car, (the postcard) was in plain sight for her to see,” said Fisher. “She picked it up and said, ‘Oh daddy, what’s this?’” Fisher and others decided to
appeal to Advertising Standards Canada, hoping that the Code of Ad Standards’ section 12 on not presenting “information or illustrations that might result in (childrens’) physical, emotional or moral harm” would apply. They were told that it does not apply in this case because the campaign is a political one, and thereby exempt from the code.
“I went back to them and said, ‘Thanks for your answer, but basically what you are telling me is that I can put anything in an ad as long as I put a politician’s face on it. This is clearly a loophole that is being exploited by this group, and we need to know how we fix that,’” said Fisher. See STANDARDS, page 20

Well, any doubts I may have been harbouring were soon cast aside when a young man from the Barr Side Road asked her to the social. I couldn’t believe it! And Audrey leaned over to me after hanging up the phone and said, “See ... safety in numbers.” Long before Audrey got out of public school, we prayed that when the time came, she would graduate from the Entrance Class. Well, I thought that was a needless prayer, since she was just about the smartest one at the Northcote School! But she wanted to be sure, as those farm girls who didn’t make it out of the Entrance Class, ended up doing housework for the rich people in Renfrew. Audrey couldn’t think of a worse fate. More than once I was caught with my mind somewhere else too. Audrey had always instructed me to keep close attention to what she was saying, and I was to repeat the prayer silently to myself. I can no longer remember what the prayer was about, but my mind certainly was not on

what Audrey was praying for that night. My sister poked me in the ribs, which was my cue to say, “Please God, hear our prayer.” As soon as Audrey’s elbow connected with me, I tried in vain to remember what we had been praying for, and for the life of me, couldn’t bring up one word Audrey had said. She had to repeat the prayer, which didn’t please her one bit. Audrey’s prayers could be long, depending on what she had on her “want list.” That’s when I lost track of what she was praying for. I could see no reason why she had to go into such detail with her prayers, convinced as I was that, as long as you let God know it was you, He would take care of the rest. All you had to do, I thought then, was to think of the prayer and that was as good as saying it. However, I was never able to get Audrey into that way of thinking about prayer. She said too, it would be much better if after the prayers were over, we both said “Amen” at the exact same time. I thought this was just another
way of my sister making sure I was paying attention to what she was praying for. And then one night, the end of our praying together just about came to an end. That was the night Audrey was praying at great length, about what, I no longer remember. She had come to a pause, and it was long enough for me to think we were all finished, and so I let out a loud “Amen.” Well, didn’t that open a can of worms. Audrey said she was just pausing, she wasn’t finished, and I had jumped the gun with the Amen, and so we had to say the prayer all over again. My sister eventually came to the conclusion that unless I was listening, paying attention, repeating the prayers where necessary, she was better off if she prayed alone. That was a good decision, I thought. It didn’t stop Audrey from getting down on the rug in front of our bed when the need arose. It just meant that what she was saying and thinking was between her and God, and she didn’t need a fidgeting six-yearold sister to interfere.

Standards questioned after complaints Continued from page 17
Due in part to the number of complaints, ad standards took another look at their definition of political advertising and came back with the following response which Fisher posted to Facebook. “ASC has concluded that, notwithstanding that aspects of the No2Trudeau advertising are political in nature, the political elements may be separated from the images of aborted fetuses featured in this advertising. “Based on a 2014 decision by ASC’s Standards Council, which upheld consumer complaints about the use of the very same graphic images in advertising by a different advertiser, ASC has now asked the Canadian Centre for Bio-Ethical Reform to withdraw and no longer distribute this advertising in its current form in which the

Stay in, butt out: Senators announce no re-entry policy New security measures mean smokers stuck inside during games Adam Kveton
adam.kveton@metroland.com
The Canadian Tire Centre is beefing up its security for the upcoming season which, in addition to installing walkthrough metal detectors, means fans won’t be allowed to leave the arena and come back during games, even to smoke a cigarette. Senators Sports and Entertainment made the announcement detailing increased security measures on July 21, saying new technology and new policies will be in place before the NHL pre-season starts in September. The NHL is requiring walk-through metal detectors like those used in airports at all arenas by this upcoming season to screen ticket-hold-
ers, said the Senators news release. The detectors will be used for all events at the Canadian Tire Centre, not just games, the organization said. But the Senators decision to change its re-entry policy is not a league mandate, though the league has encouraged it in the past, said Senators Sports and Entertainment president Cyril Leeder. “We’ve been edging this way for a while,” he said. NO RE-ENTRY
The policy change means ticket holders cannot leave the arena during an event and expect to return; re-entering the arena with the same ticket will no longer be allowed. “Exceptions will only be made in the case of emergencies,” said the news release. The release makes special mention of smokers, saying they will “be able to smoke in designated areas outside of the venue both before and after games and events,” but that they will not be able to leave
the arena to light up during an event and then get back inside “under any circumstances.” With fewer people smoking and complaints about smoke entering the arena, the change in policy is “for the benefit of the greater good,” said Leeder. “If you asked me 10 years ago, the number of people going outside for a cigarette was more than a thousand every game between periods, and now it’s down to 100 or 200 a night, so it’s certainly been in decline,” he said. “This (policy) clearly is one that you may have a few people that don’t like it, but from a security point of view and from a fresh air point of view, it’s better for the greater good,” said Leeder. The ultimate reason for the policy changes is safety and security, he said, as each time someone re-enters the arena there is another chance to smuggle in something dangerous. “It’s a more secure environment once you’ve screened everybody in and then you have
File
The Senators will be introducing new security measures at the Canadian Tire Centre by Sept. 20, which may irk some smokers. what we call a closed loop at that point,” he said. “You are very sure that there are no firearms, nothing that you should be concerned about in a serious situation within the building, and then any time you are allowing people to leave and come back in, you are exposing yourself to more of those opportunities.” In past years, smokers have had access to a fenced off area on the arena site’s grounds to use during games, but that has
been gone for several years, said Leeder and will not be reintroduced. The effort needed to screen smokers back into the building was also a factor in going with the new policy, he said, with safety being the first consideration, with cost and logistics secondary. Asked if he is worried about backlash from the decision, or people getting antsy from doing without their nicotine fix during an overtime game,
Leeder said he isn’t worried. “I’ve seen people in lots of situations where they are on an airplane or in confined spaces for longer than three hours and I don’t think I’ve ever seen any nicotine-related issues there. It’s not something we are concerned about,” he said. Leeder added that, while the Senators are committed to using the walk-through metal detectors, the organization is always open to reviewing its policies.

Police seek to ID robbery suspect Staff
Ottawa police are seeking the public’s help in identifying a robbery suspect. Images taken from security camera footage show the suspect holding up a drugstore in the 1300 block of Carling Avenue on June 29 at 2 p.m. The man fled with an unspecified amount of cash and narcotics. The bundled-up bandit doesn’t show his face in the images, though police hope that his clothing and whereabouts trigger a public response. Described as a white male, six feet tall with a medium build, the suspect wore a dark blue Columbia-brand jacket obscuring his face. Dark sunglasses, blue jeans and black running shoes rounded out his attire. Anyone with information relating to the robbery can call the Ottawa police robbery unit at 613-236-1222, ext. 5116, or provide anonymous tips to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477.

Recent Tragic Incident Like many local residents, I was deeply saddened with the recent tragedy that took place in the Carlington community. If any resident is in need of assistance to help deal with the tragedy, there are resources available in the community through the Carlington Community Health Centre www.carlington.ochc.org. If my office can assist you in any way, please call. Accident at Dorchester and Silver On July 16, a mother and her two children were struck on their bicycles by a car, while travelling through the Dorchester and Silver intersection in Carlington. Ottawa Police laid one charge against the driver. As a result of the accident, I visited the intersection, spoke with nearby residents and met with traffic and road design staff from the City to look at ways to make this intersection safer. Centre-line markings, as well as stop sign markings, tree foliage trimming and potential no parking signage near the intersection will be implemented to improve overall safety. Jamaica Day

If you have not yet explored the Bytown Museum, located beside the Rideau Locks, just west of the Chateau Laurier, plan a visit this weekend. The tiny and reported to be haunted museum, houses many stories, documents and artifacts of Ottawa’s early years, when the small lumber town was known as Bytown. Autumn and Winter Programming
Michael Picton is one of those few. His music will soon fill the Canadian Tire Centre when the Marvel Universe Live! stage show arrives on July 31. The former Beacon Hill resident said creating the music to herald the entrance of gods and monsters, or represent the satisfying thwack of Thor’s hammer against a foe, was an amped up combination of his experience writing and performing for the circus and scoring TV shows like the SyFy network’s Flash Gordon.

“The show plays in sports arenas, so you need to fill this vast space with something, and you can’t afford to get too intimate or too subtle when you really need to be directing the energy out to the audience,” said Picton. “So it’s a matter of really dialing it up, so as a result you sort of get a kind of … rock and techno and orchestra (sound) all together at the same time.” The show includes Avengers characters along with Spider Man, some of the X-Men, and many more villains like the Green Goblin, Doc-Ock and of course Loki. With such a large cast, creating music to represent each of them – within a two hour show consisting of epic battle
scenes – was a tricky task, said Picton. “The challenge I think is to sort of convey the spirit of each of these heroes and what we know and love about them, but to do it in a very efficient way,” he said. Iron Man’s particular theme uses rock guitars, for instance, while Thor’s involves horns and drums, and Spidey’s is made with a combination of instruments that create a swooping theme, with pop elements added, said Picton. “Each (character) I approached with a kind of sound and signature tune idea,” he said. See THOR, page 29
This can be particular use-
Fighting as Thor chance of a lifetime for ‘fanboy’ me,” he said.
Continued from page 28
This can be particular useful for directing the audiences direction during the large fight scenes, where more than 25 Marvel characters are doing battle at once. The Marvel show is a rare chance for Picton’s work to travel north to Canada, and back near his old stomping grounds, where Picton’s interest in music began. Growing up in Beacon Hill up to age 18, Picton’s musical interests were kicked off by another famous franchise currently on the rise – Star Wars. “For composers of my generation, that tends to be a very common life story, you know, hearing that music for the first time and deciding, ‘Oh, this is something I want to be interested in,’ and following that with, ‘Oh this is something I would actually like to emulate,’” said Picton, who currently lives in Brooklyn, N.Y. “I’m really happy this show is making it back to the motherland for
FIGHTING SUPERHEROES
While participating in the Marvel mania currently circling the globe was a good experience for Picton, it’s a dream come true for James Colon. As Colon is doing battle as Thor or fighting off his childhood heroes
I’m really happy this show is making it back to the motherland for me. Michael Picton, composer
on stage, he still considers himself a fan. “Everyone used to play around when they were kids and try and fight good guy versus bad guy, so I get to do that for real,” said Colon. A 27-year-old stunt fighter from Texas, Colon said he was thrilled to start working alongside some of
his favourite comic book characters from his youth, especially Captain America. “He’s been my favourite since I was a kid and he has a very cool part in the show. Even being part of the show, I’m still a little fan boy at heart when I get to watch him do some of the cool stuff that he does.” In addition to playing a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent and a Chitauri warrior (as seen in the first Avengers movie), Colon also gets to play Thor, the Norse god with the legendary hammer Mjolnir. “It’s kind of a fun and satisfying move when you knock somebody out with that thing,” he said. The show visits the Canadian Tire Centre from July 31 to Aug. 2
Loki, Doc-Ock, the Green Goblin and many other super villians will be doing battle at the Canadian Tire Centre do the tunes of Ottawaraised Michael Picton on July 31.

Orphan Kittens at the OHS receive extra care and attention throughout the day. All of the kittens need additional feedings and increased socialization; younger or weaker kittens also need enhanced medical support. Once kittens are stable enough at the OHS, they can be moved into foster care, where they receive ongoing care and nurturing.
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:
Website: www.ottawahumane.ca Email: Adoptions@ottawahumane.ca Telephone: (613) 725-3166 x258
The OHS has developed program guidelines that follow best practices in shelter medicine to ensure that we are able to provide as much help to these tiny kittens as we can. Currently, 70 kittens are benefiting from this life-saving program. To learn more visit http:// www.ottawahumane.ca/kitten.
The Kitty I was found in an apartment - left behind when the tenants moved out. Then I was adopted from the Humane Society by a lovely violin teacher. But oh boy, did I hate the sound of those violins! I just hid under the furniture with my paws over my ears, wishing the violin students would just leave. Nobody ever saw me. Then the violin teacher became very sick, and I was headed back to the Humane Society! Luckily one of the violin families adopted me, and now that the kids have grown up and left home, I am left with no horrible violins to upset my peace and quiet. You can see how happy I am now. I am a Happy little Torty - (a tortoiseshell/tabby) and my name is just “The Kitty”.
