Beaverbrook to host candidates meeting Adam Kveton

News - The Kanata Beaverbrook Community Association is hosting a municipal candidates meeting on Oct. 3. The meeting, one of the few scheduled in Kanata so far, will provide a chance for residents to size up their candidates, evaluate them one-on-one and ask some questions, said Jim Shearon, a direc-
tor with the Kanata Beaverbrook Community Association. “The emphasis is simply to make sure that people have a chance to see the candidates in person and see them on the same platform with their rivals,” he said. So far, all three councillor candidates for Kanata North have confirmed their attendance. See MAYORAL, page 29

Hospice service looks to expand in city’s east end Adam Kveton
adam.kveton@metroland.com
News - Hospice Care Ottawa is looking to expand its services and potentially open another hospice in the city’s east end. But any future expansion will have to wait until after construction on the Ruddy-Shenkman Hospice in Kanata is finished, said the organization’s executive director Lisa Sullivan during the organization’s annual general meeting at the Ruddy-Shenkman Hospice on Sept. 22. “Likely that will be some community-based services, but there is certainly interest, from a number of partners, after we are finished with the west end, to look at a site in the east end.” In the coming year, Hospice Care Ottawa will also be looking at increasing its capacity to offer services in French as well as English, said Sullivan. “That is an important step in our growth in the next year,” she said. HOSPICE SHOWCASE
Hundreds of community members, volunteers and hospice workers came
out for the Sept. 22 open house and annual general meeting. The newly refinished and furnished interior of the hospice was filled with visitors, with about 370 people attending the event, said Sullivan. “We were just thrilled that so many people came through,” she said, adding that the event was a chance to show off the work that has been done at the former church site on 110 McCurdy Dr., and to let people know what is planned for Hospice Care Ottawa. The annual general meeting gave attendees a look into the organization’s financials, showing that Hospice Care Ottawa is currently on budget, though she added funding is never a done deal. “It’s always a concern financially, because we are only funded at about 55 per cent,” she said, meaning fundraising has to make up for the remaining 45 per cent. “If we continue the way we are now with our fundraising activities, we will be able to meet our operating budget,” said Sullivan. The majority of Hospice Care Ottawa’s donations from their past fiscal year came from individuals at $263,862, followed by in memoriam
donations. Apart from fundraising for the organization’s operations, Hospice Care Ottawa has also been fundraising for the Ruddy-Shenkman Hospice’s livein building, providing much-needed beds for those unable to remain home as they approach their final days. Hospice Care Ottawa’s capital campaign, run in partnership with the Bruyère Foundation, has raised $4.6 million of its $6.2 million goal. Sullivan said Hospice Care Ottawa hopes that, with one last push, construction can start soon. “That will be significant for the Kanata community if we can make that final push with that campaign, because then we can start building in 2015,” she said. “That’s our goal.” In the coming year, the organization is hoping to increase its day hospice programs, which would allow those reaching the end of their lives to stay home as long as possible.

Glen Cairn students learn from an incredible journey Adam Kveton
adam.kveton@metroland.com
Community - Students from Glen Cairn Public School’s monarch butterfly program sent their orange friends off on a nearly 4,00- kilometre journey to Mexico on Sept. 19. Students from other classes crowded around their butterflysavvy peers to check out the
monarchs before they warmed their wings and flew into the air during what was the school’s ninth monarch butterfly release in 10 years, said Shelley MacWhirter, the teacher who introduced and continues to run the school’s monarch program. Each year, students can participate in the beginning-of-theyear project and learn about the monarchs as they grow from

caterpillars to chrysalises and finally into butterflies. The monarchs are then released to begin the nearly 4,000-kilometre to Mexico, in time for the Day of the Dead either in late October or early November. The program has proven hugely successful, said MacWhirter, with teachers able to discuss geography, history, math, language arts and science all in relation to the butterflies. Perhaps the butterflies’ most amazing story is their migration to Mexico, where they gather in massive colonies, she said. The monarchs’ total population ranges in the tens of millions. The butterflies have been making their southern trip for so long that their migration has been interwoven into Mexican culture, said MacWhirter. In the Mexican Day of the Dead celebrations, the monarchs represent the spirits of friends and family who have died in the past year, she said. See BUTTERFLIES, page 5

Butterflies released after year of record population lows “That’s worked into their culture over millennia,” said MacWhirter. But the program goes beyond learning facts and history, she said. Students who normally wouldn’t participate in extracurricular activities often find themselves taking part in the butterfly class, gaining confidence and becoming experts in the eyes of their peers, she said. “It just really brings some students out of their shells sometimes, and that’s why I love (the butterfly program) so much,” said MacWhirter. Grade 8 student Devan Burns said he didn’t think the butterfly program was something he would want to take part in. But now says he cherishes the experience. “Getting to do this was really amazing,” said Burns. Learning how to feed the butterflies was a particularly cool experience, he said. “Under (a butterflies’) chin area, they have a little thing called a proboscis,” said Burns. “That is what they use to eat, and, it would be weird if it was the same for us, but they taste with their feet, so when you’ve got to feed them, we take their feet, we put them in the sugar water and then we take a paper clip to pull the proboscis down into the water, and then they will start eating.” Releasing the butterflies on Sept. 19 was another high point in the experience, he said.
Due to the cool morning, the butterflies did not fly away immediately, but waited to warm their wings in the morning sunlight. The butterfly program students helped the monarchs by placing them on their heads, on their hands and even on their noises, sharing body heat and showing the butterflies off to their peers. “Everyone was just like, ‘Whoah, that is so cool!’ … It was really fun to do,” said

Burns. The school’s program was particularly poignant this year, as 2013 had the smallest monarch population in Mexico in decades, perhaps since the population began being tracked in the 1970s, said MacWhirter. This year showed a marked increase, she said. Glen Cairn Public School’s 12 butterflies will contribute to the millions on their way to Mexico.

But, you know, maybe you just didn’t hear me properly the first time. If I asked you again about your Maine vacation, adding more detail and punctuation to ensure understanding, and you responded by repeating your curse-laden monologue about your mother’s house on Vancouver Island which I apparently hated, I’d contemplate calling a psychologist. If I asked a third time about that Maine trip, with more context, and you repeated your first two answers almost swear word for swear word about Vancouver Island, and your friends all stood up behind you and cheered your

They are also withholding information that belongs to you. And the Speaker answer and jeered at me, I’d think about calling the riot police. And yet, that’s essentially what happened in the House of Commons last month. During question period, the leader of the official Opposition, Thomas Mulcair, asked a pretty straightforward question about Canadian troops in Iraq. In response, Conservative cabinet minister Paul Calandra rhymed off rhetoric about the Canadian government’s position on Israel. In his irrelevant monologue, he quoted an apparent NDP fundraiser, including
DK A E R CLIC
swear words and inflammatory statements. Not once did he mention Iraq. Mulcair asked a follow-up question about Iraq. Calandra repeated his party line on Israel, curse words and all. Mulcair attempted a third time to ask the government about Canadians in Iraq. In response, Calandra monologued about Israel. And then all his Conservative buddies cheered and jeered, except for one guy who admittedly looked shocked. You should care, because the Conservative Party, which also happens to be in govern-

deflection has always been. “For surely as long as the human species has been able to engage in oral politics, there has been some desire for obfuscation,” wrote Aaron Wherry. “And for likely as long as there have been Question Period, governments have probably found it handy
to give someone the job of throwing himself or herself in front of uncomfortable questions.” But maybe, just maybe, it will all backfire. Maybe Calandra went a little too far, taking the trend of low-level discourse and
obfuscation to a disturbing extreme. “If there’s a silver lining to this, it’s that pretty much everyone agrees that what happened is a travesty,” said Greta Levy, NDP press secretary. “If a wider concern is voter apathy, it’s worthwhile that this incident has caused anyone who has seen it to say, ‘woah, this is way over the line.’” Levy, for one, is hopeful the shock may shake people out of their political apathy. Admittedly, I do too. If you do nothing else useful today, write a letter to your member of Parliament. In the letter, remind your MP that he or she is there to serve you. Remind your MP that he or she is accountable to you. Remind your MP that when the government takes up to half of your paycheque in the form of taxes and contributions and puts it in a collective account, it is your expectation that the government will use those dollars for the public good. And remind your MP that serving the public is a privilege, not a right.
I am very concerned about the move of Canada Post to eliminate door-to-door delivery. In addition to the loss of well-paying jobs for my fellow citizens, I feel that this loss of public service will have a significant negative impact on seniors (a rising population) and the disabled in our community. This will only contribute to seniors having to access long term care facilities earlier but it will also add to the burden on families having to assist with their aging parents - some of whom live long distances away. Additionally, I have noted on my walks the increase in street clutter as a result of their installing the mailboxes. I have seen that the private sector is also adding to the burden by the installation of private courier boxes. This does nothing to enhance the appearance of our neighbourhoods. Because I am surrounded by neighbours who have been denied home delivery, I have seen poorly maintained pathways to the boxes in the winter and people struggling over snowbanks to access their mail - not to mention having slush splashed on them by passing cars. I have also witnessed garbage accumulating on the street from dumped flyers. I have to currently deal with garbage that accumulates on my property from people waiting and walking to and from a nearby OC Transpo stop near my property. Canada Post’s actions will clearly increase this. Another concern I have is that people, in accessing their mail, often do so at the end of the day as they return home from work in

their cars. They leave their idling car on the street while they go to their box. Clearly with the global concern regarding climate change, this is not something that should be encouraged. It is also a breach of our bylaws - will our police be required to end this practice? Hopefully yes, however, I am aware that this will only take them away from more pressing concerns and potentially add to our tax burden. I pity the neighbour who has one of these mega-boxes on or near their property - the added car traffic will be a daily occurrence for them. Add to this, the current mail delivery people will be shifted from delivering our mail by walking, to delivering our mail by truck. This is a very backwards step. I have also been made aware of the issue of thefts and vandalism (including graffiti and fires) from these mailboxes, reports of which Canada Post has been suppressing. Bridlewood is largely a bedroom community which empties out during the weekdays. Eliminating door to door mail means that one more person is gone from the area who could be reporting suspicious activity. I have been in contact several times with Canada Post to voice my concern with their plan. I understand that Canada Post has indicated that they are doing this as they will be losing $1 billion a year by 2020. However, in the last five years, they have made profits where they predicated losses with the exception for one year where they had to pay out a large pay equity settlement dating from the 1980’s. I therefore find it is impossible to believe anything that they say.

Local elections matter
S
igns, signs everywhere are signs‌ They are popping up all over the landscape like dandelions in the spring. The 2014 municipal election is in full swing if you haven’t already guessed by candidates’ signs jockeying for positions on every corner of the map. Some signs are vibrant in colour, design and message, not to mention in size; others are plain and simple on a much smaller scale. No matter the size, or message, colour or noncolour, one thing is the same – keep it legal if you are campaigning. Many do not know there are legal ramifications about erecting election signs – the biggest infraction being permission. According to law enforcement agencies, as well as the Elections Act, there are several laws, rules and regulations to which to adhere. So before candidates go off on a whim, wielding a mallet and a truckload of signs, please make sure you have permission to do so.
This will be an exciting year for voting and changes in the municipalities that this newspaper covers. There are several newcomers and veteran politicians out in full force soliciting your vote. In the next few weeks leading up to Election Day, Oct. 27, we will fill our pages with even more candidate profiles when space allows, then we will recap before voters go to the polls, just who is up for election or re-election in some cases. Being prepared to vote is also an important issue. If you are 18 or older, a Canadian citizen, and you reside in Ottawa (and you’re not prohibited from voting under the Municipal Elections Act, or otherwise by law) then it’s your given right to cast a ballot. Ensure you’re on the voters’ list by calling your municipal office. Visit www.ottawa.ca for details to make sure you can vote on Oct. 27. No matter what your opinion or stance on the issues that matter most in your community, exercise your right to vote and make your voice heard.

Toronto has been, in a bizarre way, in an election campaign for at least a couple of years. But Ottawa, thank heaven, is a quieter place. Our mayor and councillors generally avoid the outrageous. Which means that we might be thinking about issues instead of personalities when we go to the polls on Oct. 27. Now the trick is to find some.

Funny Town of things people consider important, followed by transit. No surprise there: efforts to upgrade transit have got half the city dug up, it sometimes seems. As for property taxes, duh.

the other issues really matter because no politician will dare propose action on them. That means nothing on homelessness, no new library, no progress on making our waterfront a more interesting place. We’ll have a city that holds the line on taxes and does nothing else. Now, there are those for whom this is an exciting concept, doing nothing. From time to time they pop up in various places, promising never to increase taxes, promising perhaps even cut them. They never succeed (see: Larry O’Brien) although they sometimes claim that they have (see: Rob Ford). Most people, you would hope, want more from their city than just a tidy balance sheet.

you respect them for what they accomplished and you probably don’t even know if they were able to balance the books while doing it. How much did the Eiffel Tower increase the mill rate? Do you even care? Still, no one, not even me, wants to encourage crazy spending on lavish mega-projects. But it would be nice if our candidates for mayor and council could propose some imaginative things for the city to do. The point is, they shouldn’t be afraid to do so. It could be as boring as fixing up infrastructure, making sure bridges don’t fall down or sinkholes don’t open up; it could be as exciting as a plan to end homelessness. It could be a suggestion for breaking the impasse with the National Capital Commission on transit and other matters. It could involve a new library, a new baseball team, a new concert hall (again), new recreational opportuni-
ties for young people, new initiatives to encourage the arts in Ottawa. There is no shortage of things to do. There may not even be a shortage of the will to do them. Polls notwithstanding, my bet is that voters are more ready than the politicians are.

When I purchased my house and lot in Bridlewood, I made the decision to buy a lot on a street that was planned to be quite busy in the future - my present now. However, I did so as it was one of five lots that still had mail delivery to my door. To say I am currently displeased, is an understatement. I am quite discouraged by my interactions with Canada Post. Despite leaving many messages, it has been difficult to get them to respond - a problem many people have told me about. I have requested that my mailbox be the one I see outside of my dining room window, directly across the street instead of one a block away. I was told that this would necessitate a

I note that the Canadian Union of Postal Workers has tried to be proactive and has come up with the suggestion of a postal bank to increase profits at Canada Post.

Barring treatment for the mentally ill Prisons are the new institutions for people with mental-health issues say critics of Canada’s penal policies Blair Edwards blair.edwards@metroland.com
T
he day she learned her son was laying in a catatonic state in his prison cell, Farhat Rehman became an advocate for the rights of prisoners with mental-health problems. Rehman remembers sitting nervously in the waiting room of Millhaven Institution, a federal maximumsecurity prison in Bath, Ont., near Kingston, last February. Rehan Kurd had been convicted of second-degree murder and given a life sentence in 2005 with no possibility of parole for 15 years. While suffering from delusions, caused by his schizophrenia, Kurd had stabbed to death his friend and mentor Mohammed Khalil in Ottawa on Feb. 27, 2001. It had only been a few months since Kurd had been transferred to Millhaven from Kingston Penitentiary, which shut down in November 2013. The 42-year-old Ottawa man had served eight years at the Kingston Penitentiary’s regional treatment centre, which provided psychiatric care. When the penitentiary closed in the fall of 2013, Kurd was moved to Millhaven, where his physical and mental health rapidly deteriorated, said his mother. Doped up on risperidone, an antipsychotic used to treat his schizophrenia, he spent up to 24 hours a day laying on his bed in his prison cell. Kurd had been placed in solitary confinement several times over the years – for as long as two to three months at a time, said Rehman. In the past, Kurd had occasionally suffered bouts of illness during which he would sometimes “get loud,” said his mother, resulting in his transfer to the acute-care centre in the Kingston Penitentiary, where he was put in solitary confinement and kept under 24hour observation by a video camera. The last time she had visited her son, in January 2014, Kurd was so groggy from the side effects of his medication, he could barely speak,

Rehan Kurd’s health rapidly deteriorated when he was transferred last year from the regional treatment centre at Kingston Penitentiary to Millhaven Institution, a maximum-security jail, says his mother and Ottawa resident, Farhat Rehman, who has since begun advocating for his transfer to a hospital.
al Service Canada is in the process of decommissioning some of those beds. “We’ve already identified that the CSC doesn’t have enough treatment beds to meet demand, but they’re actually closing some anyway,” said Sapers. “And it’s not because they’re empty right now, it’s just for other operational reasons, which only the Correctional Service Canada could explain.” The CSC has come to the conclusion it has too many psychiatric beds based on the ratio of beds to the general population of Canada. The problem is you’re comparing apples to oranges, he said. “They are actually quite candid in saying this is a work in process, that they’re trying to get the balance right.” said Sapers. “But my caution to them is, ‘Don’t experiment with people’s lives. If you’re trying to get the balance right, do your homework and then make your changes. Don’t make them running changes and put people at risk.’” STAFF SHORTAGE

While she waited, a correctional officer appeared, asking her to follow him to his office. “I’m sorry, but I went to get your son and he’s not responding,” the officer said, according to Rehman. “I think he’s comatose or something. He’s not responding.” A doctor came into the room and explained that her son refused to take his medication, clozaril, an antipsychotic used to treat schizophrenia in adults, so he was put back on risperidone, which caused drowsiness. She begged the doctor to let her see her son and tell him she was there. After another half hour his son ap-

peared in a closed visiting room. “So I was put back into the enclosed (area) behind the glass, but at least I saw him,” said Rehman. “I talked to him and he was feeling groggy.” During the three-hour drive home to Ottawa from the prison, Rehman heard a radio report that the federal government was funding two psychiatric beds for female prisoners at the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre in Brockville. “That was so hopeful for me,” said Rehman. “This is the time I can (start advocating) for my son.” Rehman soon started writing letters to the Office of the Correctional Investigator of Canada, the federal and provincial ministries of correctional services, anyone who might be able to help her son. The Office of the Correctional Investigator of Canada has since recommended Kurd receive care in a hospital, said his mother.
Kurd is just one of approximately three-dozen inmates serving time in Canada’s federal prisons who should receive care at a hospital, said Howard Sapers, the Correctional Investigator of Canada. “There’s no doubt in my mind that we have individuals who will not benefit from a period of incarceration in any way,” he said. “Their mental illness will prevent them from being able to participate in any programming that would address their criminogenic needs and these are people who are profoundly mentally ill and diagnosed with significant psychiatric disorders and they need to be hospitalized.” Sapers has also recommended federal jails stop the use of long solitary confinements of offenders with acute mental-health needs. LACK OF BEDS
With a population of approximately 15,244 inmates, about 12 per cent, or 1,829 inmates, will be diagnosed with a significant mental illness, such as schizophrenia or major depressive disorder, said Sapers. This translates into the need for a corresponding number of psychiatric inpatient beds, however the five regional treatment centres in Canada’s federal prison system only have approximately 675 beds – less than half what is needed. To make matters worse, Correction-
Correctional Service Canada is also struggling to hire the needed psychiatrists and psychologists. “We’re seeing some big vacancies in some occupational groups,” said Sapers. Last year, 10 per cent of the correctional services’ psychologist positions were left vacant, and the vacancy rate of other health-care workers – from nurses and pharmacists to doctors and social workers – hovered between five and 10 per cent. Not only are these rates high, they don’t show the reality of the staffing gap, said Sapers. “Some of the positions, which have been vacant for a long time have simply been eliminated,” said Sapers. “So it makes your vacancy rate look smaller if you just stop trying to fill the position.” Meanwhile, some of the positions have been underfilled, he said, meaning the correctional service has hired people with psychology degrees but who are not licensed by the provincial governing body for psychologists. “And it’s not just psychologists,” said Sapers. In the past, the correctional service has hired people with lesser credentials than required to do a job, which means they must fall under the supervision of someone who is qualified.

During the past decade, Canadian jails have seen an alarming increase in the number of inmates with mental illnesses. Nearly half of all incarcerated federal offenders receive a mentalhealth service, according to statistics provided by the federal prisons’ ombudsman. Correctional Service Canada estimates 13 per cent of male offenders and 29 per cent of female offenders in federal custody have mental-health problems when they are admitted to prison. These rates have doubled since 1996. Meanwhile, one in four inmates in Ontario’s provincial jails have been identified as having a possible mental-health issue, according to the Ontario Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services. Over the last decade, Correctional Service Canada has received approximately $50 million in shortterm funding to improve mentalhealth care delivered in federal prisons – $30 million for community mental-health funding and $21.5 million to fund key elements of its strategy, such as computer mentalscreening and training of front-line staff. The correctional department received a further $16.6 million a year, this time in permanent funding, for institutional mental-health services in 2009. But the federal government has a lot of catching up to do, according to a 2010 review of the CSC’s mental-health strategy commissioned by the federal prisons’ ombudsman. “The government will need to invest significant amounts of money in mental health to make up for the decades of neglect to bring the (CSC) to a level of best practices and professional standards,” said John Service, in his report, Under Warrant, A Review of the Correctional Service of Canada’s Mental Health Strategy. “These investments will have to be made quickly and continue over the next decade or two.” Too often, security trumped treatment, stated the report. “CSC mental-health staff members were clear that too often security issues impede or prevent offenders from accessing programs and treatment, often for days and weeks at a time,” states the report. The federal prisons’ ombudsman has recommended the CSC consider offering alternative forms of treatment, such as external health-care providers, in some instances. The CSC has rejected the recommendation.
HOWARD SAPERS
HEATHER STUART
In 2011, a CSC consultant’s report concluded that a full transfer of CSC health services to other healthcare authorities was impractical because Canada doesn’t have a national health-delivery authority. Instead, Correctional Service Canada is always looking to develop partnerships with other agencies that provide mental health-care services, stated the CSC in response to the federal prisons’ ombudsman’s 2011-12 report. For instance, Institut Philippe-Pinel, a forensic hospital in Montreal, provides inpatient psychiatric care to female offenders. In federal prisons, most mentalhealth care is provided at one of the five regional treatment centres, where inmates receive treatment before being returned to the general prison population. But services are in such high demand, the offenders are often released too early, according to a 2013 report by the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health. “The high demand on (regional treatment centre) services also means that they are only available to those with the most acute mental illnesses and other inmates are left untreated or with a limited clinical attention,” states the report. “These offenders receive very little mental-health services and are instead placed in segregation as a security measure.” On the provincial side, all inmates in Ontario jails have access to a variety of mental-health supports, including psychiatrists, psychologists and social workers, said Andrew Morrison, a spokesman for the Ontario Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services. Corrections officers are also trained to detect possible signs of mental illness, he added. Ontario jails have access to four specialized treatment centres for inmates with mental-health needs, he said, and the ministry partners with various social service agencies to provide the necessary programs and services when they are in custody and to assist them when they are discharged.
The province has invested $50 million since 2004 to expand community services such as crisis teams, dedicated beds, mental-health court workers, case managers and supportive housing. But services provided in provincial jails are inconsistent at best, according to a 2012 study by the Schizophrenia Society of Ontario. “Offenders with mental illness are extremely vulnerable in the federal and provincial corrections systems,” concluded the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health report. “Inmates with mental illness do not manage well in prison as demonstrated through disruptive behaviour, aggression, violence, withdrawal and refusal or inability to follow orders and rules.” FALLING THROUGH THE CRACKS
The influx of prisoners identified as needing mental-health services isn’t a recent issue, according to Service, a former executive director of the Canadian Psychological Association. This is a problem that has been decades in the making, starting in the 1960s with the deinstitutionalization of people with mental-health disorders across Canada, he states in his Under Warrant report. With the advent of improved psychological care and pharmaceuticals, patients could receive treatment within their communities. This worked for some, states the report, but “at the same time, many people with mental-health problems and disorders were left languishing, not receiving the treatment they needed and consequently coming to the attention of police and the courts.” Critics of the federal government’s tough-on-crime legislation say a large percentage of offenders with mental-health issues are falling through the cracks of a system lacking necessary treatment and support. Mental-health factors do not provide a strong indication of whether an inmate will reoffend, according to Public Safety Canada’s analysis
of a collection of international studies on risk factors for recidivism among “mentally disordered offenders,” carried out between 1959 and 2011. Some people with mental illnesses may commit a crime or “behave in ways that draw police attention,” according to the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health. “How police respond to these interactions is an early predictor of one’s likelihood to be further involved in the justice system,” the centre’s report stated. Heather Stuart, a professor of community health and epidemiology at Queen’s University, who holds the Bell Canada mental health and anti-stigma research chair, said that 60 to 80 per cent of people in jails and prisons would meet the criteria for having a mental disorder. “That suggests to me that there is a high recidivism,” she said. “It used to be that people would be in hospitals in the past, a lot of them, and so the theory goes – it’s called a balloon theory – and if you squeeze the balloon at one end the air goes out the other end, so there’s a certain number of people that may need institutional supports,” she said. “When we closed the hospitals, we took those institutional supports away from them and we didn’t put any supports in the community to help them out to replace the hospitals,” said Stuart. “A lot of them end up in jails, just because they’re out in the community.” Farhat Rehman tried to find help in the community for her son – as a child he was referred to a family psychiatrist at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario, and as an adult he was later diagnosed with depression and obsessive compulsive disorder. “My son’s diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder was only confirmed in the assessment after he was apprehended in February 2001,” said Rehman. Prisoners with mental-health issues who are judged not criminally responsible receive treatment in prison and the possibility of leading a productive life, she said. “But for those like my son, there seems to be nothing available except for a punishment model that results in lasting damage and no end to their incarceration.” With files from Erin McCracken

Police looking to expand mental-health training Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com
News - Staff Sgt. Dana Reynolds and her partner were on patrol in Ottawa when they were called to help a woman in distress. “She wasn’t making a lot of sense and she was yelling and waving her arms around,” Reynolds said. The officers were attempting to get her to sit and calm down when the she lunged and attacked. There was no time for Reynolds or her partner to call for backup. Within seconds all three were on the ground. The woman kicked and punched the officers as they worked to handcuff her. Reynolds’ leg was hurt in the fight. “We weren’t really of the mentality that we had to be prepared for a fight because we didn’t expect anything from this woman,” said Reynolds. “But I don’t know what she was thinking. We were just talking to her and, boom, she just started fight-

mental-health training in her arsenal, the situation might have unfolded differently. “Maybe I would have picked up on the fact that she probably wasn’t mentally well earlier and I would have maybe given her more space,” Reynolds said of the incident about 12 years ago. Arming patrol officers who work the front lines of policing in Ottawa with the right tools of the trade extends beyond equipping them with guns and radios. For that reason, the Ottawa police mental-health unit, which was established in 2006 and has since evolved into a full-time unit, is looking to expand the twice-yearly mental-health training it provides officers from two to five days. “The officer receives a pin and they’re recognized on their platoon as crisis-intervention officers, and then they’d be targeted more to go on those types of (mental-crisis) calls, because they have the additional training,” said Reynolds, head of the police mental-health unit. If the pilot training initiative is approved by senior police brass, the program could be delivered to brand new officers returning from police college as soon as January. “By starting out targeting recruits, we’ll get the most out of them on the front line because they have to stay on patrol for (five) years,” said Reynolds.
Incident scenarios, guest speakers with mental illness and medical insight on mental illness have been part of the service’s current twoday, twice-yearly training program, which has been offered for at least three years. Most of the 40 people who attend each session are patrol officers, though spots are also reserved by external agencies, such as security personnel from the OttawaCarleton Detention Centre and OC Transpo. “(The police officers) are always really happy with the additional training that they get because everybody does feel like we’re expected increasingly to deal with people that are not well, and we have no training or expertise when it comes to that,” said Reynolds. Reynolds estimates one in five calls to police have a mental-health component, but she suspects it could be much higher. “Certainly (officers) that haven’t been on the road in some time and go back are shocked at how many people you’re dealing with are mentally ill compared to 10 years ago when we were doing the same police work, but not seeing the same demographics,” Reynolds said. Police agencies across Canada are experiencing similar pressures, and a number of reports released this summer provide blueprints on how police services can do better.

The goal should be “zero deaths when police interact with a member of the public – no death of the subject, the police officer involved, or any member of the public,” wrote retired Supreme Court justice Frank Iacobucci in his July report on the Toronto police service’s use of lethal force, with a special focus on encounters between police and people in crisis. Before the Ottawa police mental-health unit’s expanded training program can be launched, Reynolds and another mental-health officer hope to travel to Memphis, Tenn. in October to see firsthand the delivery of the crisis-intervention training. The development of specialized crisis-intervention training for officers with the Memphis Police Department in Tennessee began after one of its officers shot and killed a knife-wielding man with a history of mental illness in 1987. Since then, the Memphis Model, as it is known, has spread to thousands of police agencies across the U.S., and into Canada. Studies show the use of this model has helped decrease officer injury rates. It also involves partnerships between police and mental-health service providers, which allow for more information sharing and streamline the process of taking people to the hospital with the goal of diverting more individuals from judicial and health-care systems. During training, officers, and to some extent emergency dispatchers, spend 40 hours interacting with people with mental illness, training in deescalation scenarios and visiting mental-health facilities. They also learn about mental illnesses, crisis intervention, medication side effects, legal liability, suicide prevention, developmental disabilities and the effects of drugs and alcohol. To further assist patrol officers and help people in the community with mental illness, the Ottawa police mental-health unit recently expanded a program that pairs together mental-health officers with psychiatrists.

“If you’re told right at the scene this is what you need and here’s how you get it, I think people feel better,” Boyles said. “If they do need hospitalization, the care starts immediately rather than waiting eight hours in a busy emergency room.” Over the course of 112 days during the pilot phase of the program between July 2012 and July 2013, 245 calls were handled. Fifty-one people assessed at the scene were taken directly to psychiatric emergency hospital services. Another 88 people were diverted to outpatient services and other community providers.
In all, 918 hours of police time was saved. By having a doctor at their disposal, police say they have an advantage when it comes to ensuring the safety of the community, the person in distress and police themselves – one of the overarching goals underscored in Iacobucci’s Toronto police use-of-force report. Too often, police arrive at a scene where there are many unknowns about a person’s behaviour. Often the symptoms are related to drug use, or a combination of mental illness and drugs. “Addiction can mimic mental illness and so a doctor is bet-

with a mental-health police officer, among other uniformed police. “Obviously when you’re holding a knife, the whole gamut of police arrive,” said Boyles. The resident psychiatrist used an iPad to access the person’s medical records, and determined the man had been diagnosed with schizophrenia. “And the SWAT team listened to us on what was the best way to get him out of the house safely and get him the care that he needs,” Boyles said. “And it all turned out wonderful. It could have been much different. It could have escalated.”

The Live program, largely funded by The Ottawa Hospital, launched as a one year part-time pilot program in July 2012. As it enters its third year, the Live program was expanded this summer from three to five days, Monday to Friday. “Sometimes we have two cars out now,” said Dr. Peter Boyles, a psychiatrist with The Ottawa Hospital who does ridealongs with police. When it comes to mental health-related calls, frustrated Ottawa patrol officers have for years complained of long waits in emergency rooms for the
person in their custody to be assessed. Often individuals were not even admitted to hospital. Studies have shown that up to 20 per cent of police patrol time is spent dealing with the mentally ill, and that number is on the rise, said Boyles. By having Boyles respond to calls with officers, he can assess a person right at the scene, as well as call the person’s family doctor, fill out hospital admission forms, prescribe medications and check online medical records. He can also streamline the hospital admission process. And that means getting people timely and proper help.

Ottawa’s streets go to the dogs Ottawa Purina Walk for Guide Dogs
Community - On Sunday, Oct. 5, Ottawa’s streets will be filled with lots of busy feet and paws, as the Ottawa Purina Walk for Dog Guides strolls through town. The Ottawa Walk is taking place at the De La Salle high school, with registration opening at noon and the walk starting at 1 p.m. One hundred percent of the funds raised from the Purina Walk for Dog Guides go towards providing dog guides to Canadians with disabilities at no cost. To date, more than 2,000 Canadians with disabilities have been provided with a dog guide, at no cost, by Lions Foundation of Canada. “Everyone involved with the Ottawa Purina Walk for Dog Guides plays an important role in providing Dog Guides to Canadians with medical and physical disabilities,” says Sandy Turney, executive director, Lions Foundation of Canada, “It is amazing to see how communities like Ottawa come together to offer such incredible support.” In 2014, hundreds of Canadians will benefit from the increased independence and security provided by Dog Guides from Lions Foundation of Canada. Organized by local volunteers, the Purina Walk for Dog Guides is a grassroots event. It provides community members with an inclusive, fun and meaningful way to positively impact the lives of local residents living with disabilities. The Ottawa walk is one of many walks taking place across Canada this fall. As the number of Canadians with disabilities grows to one in seven, the Purina Walk for Dog Guides becomes more important with each passing year. Lions Foundation of Canada trains dog guides in a number of different programs, including canine vision, hearing ear, service, seizure response, autism assistance and diabetic alert.

By David Johnston State-of-the-art German engineering in a world class design. That’s what sets MercedesBenz above other car manufacturers. And now they have raised the bar again with the introduction of the new C-Class sedan and GLA sport utility vehicle (SUV). A special unveiling at Ogilvie MercedesBenz Sept. 17 introduced Ottawa to the C 300, C 400 and GLA SUV. Reimagined from every angle, the next generation of the world’s bestselling Mercedes-Benz family emerges as more sophisticated, more powerful and more luxurious than ever before. An all-new exterior artfully merges elegant proportions with aggressive bodywork, while a roomier -- and completely redesigned -- cabin delivers an even higher level of luxury and craftsmanship. “To accompany our legendary 4MATIC allwheel drive, the all-new C-Class also receives a major upgrade in the performance department, thanks to mightier and more efficient engines, reengineered suspensions, and for the first time, an available AIRMATIC suspension,” says Sales Manager Leslie Mise. Classleading innovation comes courtesy of not only Mercedes-Benz “Intelligent Drive” safety and assistance technology --such as standard PRESAFE® -- but also an advanced suite of in-vehicle systems that include an all-new touchpad interface and next-generation ‘infotainment‘. The C-Class features newly designed four and six cylinder turbocharged engines in a vehicle that is larger in every dimension than its predecessor. The C-Class retains its sporty demeanor with lightweight body construction with 20 per cent more aluminum parts and electromechanical Direct Steering with ‘Steer Control’. The Intelligent Drive system, optional for the C 400 4Matic, uses the information from a 3D stereo camera in combination with radar sensors fitted all around the vehicle to create intelligent automatic cruise control with lane guidance. Steer Assist automatically keeps the vehicle in the middle of its lane on straight roads and slight bends, if the lane markings on both sides are clearly visible. “If the driver removes their hands from the steering wheel, a warning is emitted and Steer Control is deactivated only if the situation requires it. Slow, hands-off stop-and-go driving in traffic is possible,” says Mise. “That can really reduce fatigue in gridlock circumstances.” Intelligent Drive also includes Brake Assist Plus with Cross-Traffic Assist, which can significantly reduce the risk of rear-end collisions and accidents at intersections. This is accomplished by continuous monitoring of the traffic situation ahead of the vehicle by means of radar sensors and the 3D camera. “When the danger of a collision is recognized, the system gives a visual warning in the instrument cluster as well as an audible warning,” points out Mise. “If the driver firmly applies the brakes, the system calculates the brake pressure required to prevent a collision.” Sensors in the rear bumper monitor traffic behind the vehicle to initiate the Pre-Safe Plus protection system for potential rear-end crashes. Occupant protection measures include features such as reversible belt tensioning. And to prevent mishaps with pedestrians and slow-moving objects such as bicycles, the system is capable of initiating autonomous
braking should the driver fail to react. But the new C-Class is not just about optimal safety, it’s also fun to drive. With comfortable and durable Artico leather upholstery, the C-Class features an Agility Select switch with up to five driving modes. The optional sport package features AMG sport body styling, 18-inch AMG wheels and front sport braking system. When combined with the 3.0L Biturbo V6 engine in the C 400 4 Matic, delivering 329 horsepower and 354 lb-ft of torque, the C-Class is as powerful as it is agile. The next generation ‘infotainment’ system keeps occupants connected while on the go. With the ease of Touchpad, integrated Media Interface and Mercedes Benze apps, plus available Burmester surround-sound system, SiriusXM Satellite Radio and Command Online with voice control, passengers are never far from what matters. “The touchpad has both single and multifinger gesture recognition, wiping movements, zoom and even user handwriting,” adds Mise. All C-Class sedans are equipped with Front Bass audio systems that utilize the vehicle frame as a resonating chamber to provide ultra-precise low notes with extremely little distortion regardless of volume level. The standard audio system has five speakers and 100 watts of power while the optional Burmester system features a whopping 13 speakers and 590 watts of power. And for added versatility, the rear seat in the C-Class has a 3-way split. The middle seat folds down to allow large objects to pass through while keeping rear outboard seats up. GLA SUV - For those who need more room and greater interior versatility, the new Mercedes-Benz GLA SUV has all the space and features anyone could ask for. “The GLA is the first compact premium sports utility vehicle from Mercedes-Benz,” says Mise. “Nimble on the road and capable off it, the all-new 2015 GLA is ready for every turn life takes. A true premium compact SUV with responsive handling and dramatic styling to match, the GLA also offers a thoughtful and innovative interior immersed in signature Mercedes-Benz quality.” Features on the GLA include MercedesBenz, 7-speed dual clutch automatic transmission, 208 hp Turbocharged 4-cylinder engine and Electromechanical power steering coupled with Collision Prevention Assist Plus and Attention Assist. Heated,powered front seats with 12-way memory and Articoleather upholstery make the interior comfortable in any conditions coupled with Advanced Bluetooth connectivity for music streaming and hands- free calling for safety and convenience while motoring. As with the C-Class, the GLA has available Command Online navigation with MB Apps and internet browser. At speeds below 36 km/h, Mercedes exclusivePARKTRONIC with Active Parking As-
sist automatically searches for suitable parking spaces (perpendicular and parallel) using ultrasonic sensors. Active Parking Assist takes over control of the steering wheel if the driver selects reverse gear and confirms the intention to park in the suggested space via the multifunction steering wheel. “The driver merely has to operate the gear selector, accelerator and brake pedals while PARKTRONIC with Active Parking Assist smoothly steers the car into the parking space –as quickly and accurately as an experienced driver,” points out Mise. To improve handling, the ESP® Dynamic Cornering Assist system expands the functionalities of ESP® and enables particularly agile cornering. The system improves traction at the front axle and reduces steering requirement when cornering by slightly braking the inside drive wheel. And the GLA is built to take a load. With available EASY- PACK power tailgate and up to 1,235L of cargo capacity with both rear seats folded, the standard load compartment package includes cargo nets, collapsible box, and 12 V socket in the luggage compartment. OGILVIE HAS IT ALL The all new C-Class and GLA are only two of the many outstanding Mercedes-Benz models available at the newly-expanded and renovated Ogilvie Motors. Renovations recently completed help maintain the dealership’s high standing on the Customer Satisfaction Index which helped the dealership become Number One in Canada in 2013 out of 58 dealers. “We are proud of our experienced, knowledgeable and mature sales team with more than 125 years combined experience,” says Mise. The service department has expanded to 15 bays from six, almost eliminating wait time.

Loss of police staff sergeant ricochets through Ottawa Brier Dodge and Jessica Cunha brier.dodge@metroland.com
News – Ottawa police are in mourning after an officer took his own life at the Elgin Street police headquarters on Sunday. Staff Sgt. Kalid “Kal” Ghadban, a 22-year veteran of the police force, was discovered with serious injuries in his office shortly after 1 p.m. on Sept. 28. Ontario’s Special Investigations Unit, which is probing the death, said that Ghadban was transported to hospital where he was later pronounced dead. The unit has assigned three investigators and one forensic investigator to look into the incident. Police spokesperson Const. Marc Soucy would not confirm reports that Ghadban killed himself with his service revolver. Ghadban’s family have released a statement through the police, asking the public to respect their privacy.
“We are heartbroken to have lost Kal so tragically and so young,” said the family. “He was a proud and devoted husband and father, and an excellent police officer. “We would like to thank his friends, his colleagues and the community for their support and for keeping our family and friends in their thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time,” they said. “The loss to our family will remain, but the outpouring of love we have received for Kal has been comforting. As we continue to grieve and honour him, we would ask that our privacy be respected.” Ghadban, 43, lived in West Carleton with his young family. “I knew Kal even before my time on council,” said West Carleton-March Eli ElChantiry, chair of the police services board. “Kal used to frequently come see me at the Lighthouse (Restaurant) with his family. We got to know him through the years.”

El-Chantiry had just gotten home from the Canadian Police and Peace Officers Memorial on Parliament Hill Sunday when he received the news. “It was a sad day to begin with,” said El-Chantiry. “Our focus is on his wife, his three children, his family, his mom and dad, his brothers and sisters, the whole Lebanese community. “Kal used to frequently come see me at the Lighthouse (Restaurant) with his family.

Death occurs on same day as police memorial “We’re there to support Kal’s family, his wife, his three kids, and all the members of the Ottawa Police Service who knew Kal deeply,” Bordeleau said. “He was a dedicated police officer, dedicated to his community. We mourn his loss and there will be difficult days ahead of us.” Bordeleau said Ghadban handled many difficult cases and projects. He tackled highprofile drug addiction issues in the village of Manotick and oversaw an investigation into a string of break and enters targeting Ottawa’s
Continued from page 21
“He was larger than life. His laugh would fill up the room. I don’t know what to say. Honestly, my heart goes out to his (family).” Ottawa police Chief Charles Bordeleau said the mood at the police station was sad and sombre as he gave a statement to media hours after the incident. He said police met with Ghadban’s wife, three young children and parents that afternoon.

Asian communities. He had also recently managed a break and enter at Liberal Party leader Justin Trudeau’s Rockcliffe Park home. Ghadban headed the police’s break and enter section as well as the street crime and human trafficking units. Ghadban was a familiar face at community meetings and events across the city. “This is difficult and it’s not a day that you want as a chief or a member of the executive,” Bordeleau said. “It shows the fragility of life and how important it is to come together and

support our people in this organization.” Bordeleau could not comment on the circumstances surrounding the incident because the civilian Ontario’s Special Investigations Unit has invoked its mandate. The agency is called in to investigate criminal cases involving police and civilians resulting in death, serious injury and sexual assault allegations. The incident happened the same day the annual police officers’ memorial was held on Parliament Hill. “Today we commemorated the eight officers who lost their lives on Parliament Hill, five of them active members,” Bordeleau said. “And so for this to happen on a day like this is just tragic.” On Monday morning, Sept. 29, Soucy said the family has requested a private funeral service. He said crisis-intervention supports continue to be available for all members of the police service. “Everybody’s encouraged to talk to someone if they feel they need to,” he said.

Bruce Faulkner takes up the race for councillor in Kanata South Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com
News - Ottawa native and truck driver Bruce Faulkner has entered the race for Kanata South councillor. The 47-year-old has lived in Ottawa all his life. He has not lived in Kanata South, and currently lives in Osgoode Ward. With a high school diploma and an education with “the university of hard knocks,” Faulkner said he is a hard worker who has earned his way, and can give Kanata South constituents a chance at change. Q: Why are you running for city council in Kanata South Ward? A: I want to give the ward change, a change in choice. I believe there is a time for change now, with the municipal debt running about $1.7 billion. Spending is, I think, out of control at $400 million under Mr. Hubley’s watch. I think the ward needs a choice and change. Q: Detail your past political and civic activism, whether it’s volunteering, campaigning, donations, lobbying or employment at any level of government or political party.
DK A E R CLIC
A: I’m sort of a social activist … I’m not affiliated with any group or organization, but I get anonymous calls from people and I like to act on those calls … I was instrumental in the Bruyere building, the elevator was broken down for seven days. The hot water (in an Ottawa building) was our for six months a couple years back, stuff like that. Q: How are you going to fundraise for your campaign? A: Self-funding, out of my personal funds. Right now, I am not accepting any funds from companies or unions. It’s an ethical thing for me … it doesn’t look good, and I don’t want that optic, that appearance. Q: Do you have any potential pecuniary interests or a financial or family conflict of interest? A: No, I don’t think so. Q: What do you think the biggest issue was in Kanata South Ward this term and how was it handled? What will be the big issue next term? A: There was the issue of flooding in this ward under Peggy Feltmate. It was sort of handled. There are still people that are getting

flooding in their basement and they have been offered $850 as a recoup for their liability on their insurance, and that’s not enough. The problem is still there. They are asking them to put sump pumps in their basements and the municipal sewer system outside their houses is inadequate, it has to be addressed. (For the upcoming term). I think it’s going to run into taxes, and the amount of taxes these people are paying out here. Services are going to go up in price, and some people are starting to face retirement, so their incomes are going to drop. It’s going to start weighing on peopleI’m getting people saying, ‘Why are we paying for all these pet projects for other wards, and south Kanata is getting the increase in property taxes?’ It’s unsustainable the way that we are going. We have got to start looking at the debt load we are taking at the city and how we spread it amongst the residents and make it fair for people. The other candidates registered in Kanata South Ward 23 are incumbent Allan Hubley and David Abuwa.
Congratulations
ADAM KVETON/METROLAND

Police officer David Abuwa running in Kanata South Adam Kveton
adam.kveton@metroland.com
News - Thirty-eight-yearold police officer David Abuwa says he is ready to serve on city council. Born in Nigeria, Abuwa has lived in the Ottawa area for almost 34 years, having grown up in Gatineau. He has been a police officer for 15 years, though he said he cannot say with what service as that would be a violation of police orders. Abuwa has lived in Orléans since 2001, and works north of Ward 23, but said he is preparing to move to Kanata South. With educational backgrounds in science and law, Abuwa said he is ready to be Kanata South’s new councillor. Q: Why are you running for city council in Kanata South Ward? A: I’ve been working out of the Kanata area for the last year, and, in terms of city politics, it Adam Kveton/Metroland seems to be … a system where David Abuwa says people are fed up with having you have one person that says jump, and you have two thirds of to spray out maggots in their green bins.

the council that say, ‘How high?’ … It would be nice to have some individuals that actually bring into question big decisions. Also in terms of Kanata South Ward 23, I noticed on the ballot there was only one name on there, being the incumbent, and the idea of only having one individual running for city council, it wouldn’t be a question of having an actual democratic election, it would be a coronation.
have their hands in our pockets as it is. Unions, I can’t see them providing a donation without any strings, and as for corporations … I don’t see that necessarily as a bad thing provided that whatever decisions come across the table within the ward, if they happen to involve these companies, obviously that’s a conflict of interest and it would have to be taken out of (the councillor’s) hands and put somewhere else.
Q: Detail your past political and civic activism, whether it’s volunteering, campaigning, donations, lobbying or employment at any level of government or political party. A: In terms of volunteering, I haven’t had time to get involved. (As for political experience), absolutely none. Ever since I’ve been 18, I’ve voted.
Q: Do you have any potential pecuniary interests or a financial or family conflict of interest? A: Where I work is not part of the (ward) … That being said, if I were lucky enough to be elected, I would have to get a leave of absence without pay from my employer.
Q: How are you going to fundraise for your campaign? A: I’m debating approaching certain businesses. I don’t like the idea of trying to get funds from the actual constituents. There are too many people that
Q: What do you think the biggest issue was in Kanata South Ward this term and how was it handled? What will be the big issue next term? A: I think transit was one of the big button issues … I mean, it’s growing pains because they are renovating, they are building
infrastructure. Another issue is flooding … They are still working on it right now, so was it adequately handled? I mean, no, they are still working on it, so definitely they need to increase their efforts. One of the biggest issues they have going on in the ward now is the garbage pick-up. People are fed up with having to spray out the maggots in their green bin because they have to wait two weeks to get their garbage out. If people don’t want to participate in the green bin program, you cannot force them, and doing this is a very thinly veiled attempt to do that. Another issue is … community mailboxes. On the surface it seems like a good idea … If you happen to have any mobility issues, just getting to your mailbox in your house is one thing, but imagine going 500 feet down the road to get to your mailbox. That’s almost cruel and unusual. The other candidates registered in Kanata South Ward 23 are incumbent Allan Hubley and Bruce Faulkner.

Group proposes electoral reform for city of Ottawa Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com
News - A local group wants to use the momentum of the Oct. 27 city council election to bring attention to a proposal for municipal electoral reform. Ottawa123 spokesman Colum Grove-White said ditching the traditional first-past-the-post system used in most elections in Canada in favour of a new ranked-choice voting system would bring more fairness and political engagement to elections. The system would allow voters to pick their first choice candidate in the race, the same as they do now, but would also give electors the ability to list a second, third, fourth, etc. choice if they chose to do so. If no candidate has more than 50 per cent support in the first choice, the candidate with the least number of votes is eliminated and then voters’ second choices are counted instead of the first. The process is repeated until one candidate wins with at least 50 per cent of the vote. Although there are a number of different electoral system models, Grove-White said ranked-choice balloting is the only one that makes sense in municipal elections because it doesn’t rely on a political party structure, like proportional representation option. The system encourages a broader range of candidates to throw their hats into the ring and results in a more productive and nuanced discussion of municipal issues, since candidates don’t have to pit themselves against each other with starkly contrasting platforms in order to appeal to different segments of voters who vote strategically, Grove-White said. “There is no fear of vote-splitting,� he said. Ottawa123 believes ranked-choice voting would make people feel like their ballot really counts, Grove-White said, which he hopes could increase voter turnout in populations that are statistically disengaged from municipal politics. “The current system doesn’t encourage
candidates to reach out to broader audiences,� Grove-White said. “I’m not saying this is the silver bullet that will shoot up youth voter turnout, but it is certainly a factor.� So far, 350 people have signed Ottawa123’s petition in support of Ottawa switching to a ranked-choice ballot system. The system is already used in different places in Canada and internationally and it could soon be coming to municipal elections in Ontario. The Ontario Liberal government was elected in June on a platform that included a commitment to change the Municipal Elections Act to enable cities and towns to use ranked-choice voting if they chose to do so. Grove-White said Ontario Liberal officials he has spoken with assured him the legislation is coming and will likely be introduced after the Oct. 27 municipal elections to avoid confusion. Ottawa123’s campaign is getting some political support from both incumbent councillors and new city council candidates alike. Of the 27 candidates who told Ottawa123 they’d support the idea, one is a mayoral candidate (Syed Anwar) and three are incumbents: Capital Coun. David Chernushenko, Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury and Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson. Chernushenko said he has offered to move a motion at city council that would instigate the process of Ottawa switched to ranked-choice voting, if and when the province allows it. Ottawa123’s goal is for the city to use the new system in the next election, scheduled for 2018. “I would be glad to support it,� said Chernushenko, adding that he has long been a proponent of electoral reform. “It’s one small piece of moving towards a fairer voting system.� Ottawa123 is planning to hold a mock election event in October to demonstrate how the system would work. The group’s website, ottawa123.ca, has a voting simulator and more information about ranked-choice voting, which is alternately called instant runoff voting, preferential ballots or the alternative vote system.

Mayoral, trustee candidates invited to Kanata meeting
Notice of Study Commencement Continued from page 1
The candidates are: Matt Muirhead, Jeff Seeton and incumbent Marianne Wilkinson. Both candidates vying for a spot as trustee with the Catholic school board, Sandra Moore and Tom Dewar and the three candidates for mayor, Mike Maguire, Anwar Syed and Darren Wood, have confirmed their attendance. Mayor Jim Watson said he cannot attend due to a prior commitment, according to organizers. All mayoral candidates and all school board candidates for the area have been invited. Wilkinson is facing competition from experienced candidates, both of whom ran against her in the last municipal election. Seeton, who owns national consulting agency JobMatcher.ca, received 45.2 per cent of the vote in the 2010 election. He is a youth sports coach and former vice chair of the Kanata Food Cupboard. He

said Wilkinson has alienated other councillors, to the detriment of the ward. Muirhead, the current president of the Kanata Lakes Community Association, pulled out of the last municipal election, but said he is determined to step into the role as councillor this time around. The 40-year-old Stittsville teacher said he was disappointed that Kanata was not included in the light rail plan, and said he would be able to stand up to city council. Wilkinson has been the councillor for Kanata North for the past two municipal elections, a total of eight years. She served as Kanata’s first mayor before amalgamation. Trustee for the public school board, Christine Boothby, is set to be acclaimed in Kanata with no opposition. The current Kanata trustee for the Catholic school board, Ted Hurley, did not apply as a candidate for the position this year, leaving the position open for either Moore or Dewar.
There are eight candidates for mayor: Bernard Couchman, Mike Maguire, Rebecca Pyrah, Michael St. Arnaud, Anwar Syed, Robert White, Darren Wood and incumbent Jim Watson. The format of the event will allow for each candidate to make a five-minute opening statement, followed by a question period where attendees can ask questions. Each candidate will be allowed a one-minute response, and each will be allowed a two minute final statement. Shearon said he expects the event, which will take place at the Kanata United Church at 33 Leacock Dr, to be very well attended. “The Kanata United Church holds nearly 300 people, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it was standing room only,” he said. For more information about the candidates, go to ottawacommunitynews.com/ottawaregion-news/municipalelection.
Lemieux Island WPP Intake Improvements Environmental Assessment The City of Ottawa (the City) has initiated a Class Environmental Assessment (EA) for improvements to the Lemieux Island Water Purification Plant (WPP) intake. The City operates two WPPs to supply drinking water to the city—the Lemieux Island WPP (capacity of 400 ML/d; built in 1931) and the Britannia WPP (capacity of 360 ML/d; built in 1961). The source water for both plants is the Ottawa River. The two plants serve 825,000 people, with the Lemieux Island WPP supplying roughly half of the water consumed. In the past, the City has had issues at the Lemieux Island WPP, with frazil ice buildup at the intake piping. Frazil ice forms in open, turbulent, supercooled water which is typical of the river conditions near the plant intake. Because of the relatively shallow depth of water above the intake piping, frazil ice builds up below the ice surface and interferes with the flow entering the plant. This frazil ice can block the intake pipe and associated screening, resulting in unplanned WPP shutdowns or significantly restricted plant flows, which puts the water supply at risk. The City is currently investigating solutions for improving the intake to mitigate the impacts of frazil ice on the WPP. This could involve the extension of the existing intake further into the river to locate the piping in deeper water. This study is being conducted in accordance with the requirements for Phases 1 and 2 of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (2000, amended 2004, 2007 and 2011). Phase 1 involves identification of the problem or opportunity to be addressed by the project. Phase 2 involves development and evaluation of alternatives to address the problem or opportunity. The final deliverable for this project will be an environmental assessment report outlining the preferred alternative for modifying the inlet structure to prevent restrictions to the plant intake due to frazil ice. This report will be filed and available for public review for a period of 30 days upon completion. Stakeholder (public and agency) consultation is a key element of the Class EA process. One Public Information Centre (PIC) is planned for this project (with an advertised notice also provided prior to the session), and project information will be available on the City of Ottawa website, ottawa.ca. A notice of completion will be issued upon close of the project.

Franco-Cité high school attempts new Guinness world record Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com
News - The atmosphere was electric, and when the signal was given, 1,341 students of Franco-Cité French Catholic high school in Ottawa held hands and conducted static electricity to light up a clear baton. As a result, they likely have set a new Guinness World Record for the longest human electrical circuit. Students in grades seven to 12 gathered on the Smyth Road school’s football field last Thursday, Sept. 25, on FrancoOntarian Day. “You never know for sure, but we anticipated it definitely because we had practised it before,” principal Marc Bertrand said after their attempt. “Our objective was to have everybody here and do something together. So just that in itself, for me, obtained our goal. But this is even better.” Luc Cyr, head of the school’s science department, agreed, saying, “It was even better than the practice, because at least this time there was a sound (emanat-
ing the volunteers were needed because it was just too expensive to bring in special Guinness judges. To ensure their scientific experiment would work, the school did a trial run that proved successful. “We actually had a practice last week to practise to see if we could get (the students) going, because with that many people you need to, especially with age groups ranging from 11, 12 years to 17, 18 years old,” Bertrand said. Cyr pitched the idea last November. “When I saw that a Texas school had set that record, I said ‘Yeah, I want to break that record,’” he said. “We said, ‘If we are together we can beat it,’ and that’s the main theme: if we are together, we can do something special to change the culture of the school in certain ways.” The school’s theme this year of togetherness was chosen to complement plans to foster French language and culture within the high school. The record attempt also coincided with Franco-Ontarian
ing from the baton) and the light went on for more than a fraction of a second.” Now they must wait to hear from Guinness World Records officials whether they did everything by the book and, in fact, broke the record for longest human electrical circuit, which was set by 1,113 staff and students of a Texas kindergarten to grade six school last October. Cyr and Bertrand are confident they followed Guinness’ strict rules, which required the hiring of three electrical engineering consultants to determine if the circuit worked. The chain of students was measured and counted. And the activity was videotaped from the air by Max Forgues of MC Nation Productions, who operated a drone or unmanned aerial vehicle. About 35 volunteers from outside the school were tasked with verifying the students also followed the rules. “We went to the churches, we went to the community groups, the parents, staff family members,” Bertrand said, add-
Day, and students dressed in the green and white colours of the Franco-Ontarian flag. “When I said it would be a project that would bring people together, there were a lot of people who said, ‘Yeah, I want to participate in that,’ and it was like a wave that did affect the teachers and then the students,” Cyr said. “They want to be in the record books.” When Bertrand learned of the idea to set a new world record, he was enthusiastic. “When students and staff bring ideas together, well, who am I to say no?” the principal said. The only people possibly disappointed that day were the students in Texas, due to their record possibly being broken – albeit unofficially until Guinness confirms the results. “They say everything is bigger in Texas,” joked Cyr. “It’s not true.”

News - The Greater Nepean Chamber of Commerce honoured Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Steve Desroches with a farewell breakfast on Sept. 23. Desroches, who pledged to only serve two terms when he was first elected in the newly-created ward in 2006, said he thinks being a councillor is a calling, not a career. The father of four, who’s originally from Midland, Ont., said when he worked as a page in the House of Commons in 1988 he never pictured 20 years later he’d be serving as deputy mayor for the City of Ottawa. “I joke with Mayor (Jim) Watson that he holds the chain of office and I hold the keychain of office,” Desroches said. Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder said it was a pleasure working with the rookie councillor, who has seen his ward’s population grow by 50 per cent since he took office and who shared the bulk of the city’s new development with his neighbouring South Nepean ward. Harder also called Desroches a champion for veteran’s affairs.
“If there was an event that had to do with the legion or veterans at city hall, you can be sure Steve was involved,” she said. Desroches said he is very proud of the work he has done, namely pulling the StrandherdArmstrong Bridge project out of the ashes and securing a $35 million for improvements to Limebank Road. “It went from a worst class road to a first class road,” he said. He also said he was happy with the expansion of the transit system into the ward, with new Longfields and Leitrim park-andrides. “We are currently working on the environmental assessment to get the O-Train out to Riverside South,” he said. While it was important to improve the infrastructure for the growing community, Desroches said he also worked to preserve. He said he’s happily supporting a motion to name the Strandherd-Armstrong Bridge the Vimy Memorial Bridge in honour of the centennial anniversary of the taking of the Ridge during the First World War. He also said he was happy to honour philanthropist Dave Smith with a road named for him in his ward, as well as

Community - A Kanatabased group will hold its first barbecue event in the hopes of bringing more holiday cheer to Ottawa-area families. The group, called Operation Christmas Spirit, makes anonymous donations of full turkey dinners and presents to families in need. In operation for the past three years, Meggan Larson from Glen Cairn began Operation Christmas spirit when she saw a Kijiji ad offering a free turkey dinner to a family who needed some help that Christmas season. “We were like, ‘Well, we could do that,’ so we just got a few friends together and we ended up donating a couple of dinners and a bunch of toys to some families, and it was really, really cool.”

Volunteers have helped more than 400 over three years Continued from page 33
“So we decided that we would do that every year,” said Larson. She estimates her group has helped more than 400 people so far, donating a turkey dinner with all the trimmings and presents anonymously to families who have been referred to them. It’s an act that hits close to home, said Larson, who soon found herself and her family in need after she was diagnosed with cancer. Just a few weeks after her first time organizing Operation Christ-
mas Spirit, Larson was told she had cancer. “We were a single income family, and my husband does seasonal work, and it was February,” she said. “We did not have any money.” “And then a whole bunch of people in Kanata ended up just blessing our family with meals and muffins and clothes for the kids and diapers,” said Larson. “To just have all of these people get together and come over and give us all this stuff, it was just phenomenal.” Now cancer-free, the same peo-
ple that helped Larson through her time of need continue to help with Operation Christmas Spirit. This year could be the biggest ever for the group, with a goal of helping 75 families and having already raised thousands of dollars already raised. To boost the funds even more, the group is holding a barbecue on Oct. 4 at the Lion Dick Brule Community Centre, at 170 Castlefrank Rd. Though the event started off small, it has since grown to include a petting zoo, pony rides, a bake
sale, a silent auction and an appearance by Princess Anna of the movie “Frozen.” “There will be just tons and tons of stuff going on,” said Larson, who credited her friend, Jenna Rae Smith, with much of the organization. “We have so many businesses that have stepped up and donated either baked goods or pre-cooked hamburgers in buns, drinks and stuff like that, and of course auction items. “It’s just phenomenal,” she said.
The event will take place from 4 to 7 p.m. Though this will be the group’s first barbecue, Larson said she hopes it will be the first of many in her effort to spread Christmas spirit. “Most people, as far as I know, are not really able to give back in the exact same way that they were blessed with,” said Larson. “It’s really cool to know firsthand how it feels to be on the receiving end, and just be able to bless someone’s Christmas.” For more information, go to OperationChristmasSpirit.com.

Legacy Gift will generate $42.2 MILLION for CHEO over next 100 years Weldon Cochrane was an Ottawa chartered accountant and partner with the accounting firm of Coopers and Lybrand (now PriceWaterhouseCoopers) and was also the Treasurer on the CHEO Foundation Board. Mr. Cochrane had an appreciation for the importance of leaving a legacy and understood how to make an impact when he decided to made a gift in his Will to CHEO. He left the residual of his estate with instructions for it to be endowed; meaning that the capital would be preserved in perpetuity and the annual interest would be used to fund the important work at CHEO. When Mr. Cochrane died in 1985 the CHEO Foundation received $540,000
from his estate and established the Weldon Cochrane Endowment Fund as directed in his Will. Much has happened and changed at CHEO since his death and in that time his legacy gift has grown to $4.6 million.

Museum to take financial hit with unexpected, prolonged closure Erin McCracken
erin.mccracken@metroland.com
News - January is the earliest the beleaguered Canada Science and Technology Museum could reopen its doors, despite initial hopes by officials to have it back up and running within weeks following the discovery of mould. The facility will suffer a financial blow since it will be forced to remain closed over the Christmas holidays, when it draws thousands of visitors, making it one of the busiest seasons for the museum.
“On top of having costs to fix the situation, we’re also going to have a significant revenue shortfall if we can’t be open during the holidays,” said museum spokesman Olivier Bouffard. Visitor admissions, memberships, corporate rentals, group bookings, and parking fees generate about 21 per cent of the annual operating budget for the Canada Science Technology Museums Corporation, which

Initially, it was thought the museum would remain shuttered for several weeks while repairs were made. “What makes this job particularly complex, and why it’s taking us awhile to be able to say how long this work is going to take, is that we have to fix a mould problem in a wall that supports a roof that has asbestos in it,” Bouffard said.

Connaught competition crowns best shots in Canadian military Adam Kveton
adam.kveton@metroland.com
Community - After two weeks of training and competition at the Connaught Range in Kanata, the Canadian military crowned its top shooters on Sept. 20. The yearly Canadian Armed Forces Small Arms Concentration marksmanship event, held annually at the Connaught Range and Primary Training Centre since 1921, put 550 soldiers, rangers and police forces from Canada - as well as soldiers from the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and the United States - through a series of classes and training exercises designed to improve their shooting skills through information-sharing and competition. Participation in the twoweek event is highly soughtafter, with soldiers having to go through tryouts to win a spot, said Master Cpl. J.D. Hackett with the 5th Canadian Division
out of Gagetown, N.B. “This is probably the hardest competition that we do in Canada, in all honesty,” he said moments before beginning a portion of the team competition on Sept. 19. The majority of the event is a solo competition, culminating in the awarding of the Queen’s Medal, which goes to two Canadian soldiers (one reservist and one regular forces member) with the highest shooting score. This year, the awards went to reservist Cpl. Johnathan Palmer from 5th Canadian Division out of Gagetown, and regular forces member Cpl. Jean Christophe Boivin-Couillard from 2nd Canadian Division from Quebec. In accordance with the tradition of the competition, dating back to 1868, both Queen’s Medal winners were transported from the range in specially made chairs, atop the shoulders of their comrades.

Small arms event held in Kanata since 1921 Continued from page 39
Hackett participated in the team portion of CAFSAC, taking part in four separate drills made to test participants’ soldier skills, combat fitness and marksmanship. This included: • close-quarter battle, mixing rifle and pistol. • casualty evacuation where four soldiers have to carry a dummy a set distance and then begin firing on moving targets from hundreds of metres away. • counter-attack section. • soldier’s cup which is a two-and-a-half kilometre march with an obstacle course followed by range shooting from 500 to 100 metres away. Getting to practise longrange shooting with live ammunition is one of the draws of the competition, said Hackett, along with getting to share techniques with other soldiers. While the competition attracts top shooters, soldiers from any branch of Canada’s
military can participate. Hackett is not a marksman by trade, but a weapons tech, and has engineers and a truck driver on his squad. Nonetheless, Hackett said he was eager to see how his team performed. “There are also groups that are all infantry, so they might have a leg up, but we will see,” he said. Shooting at Connaught Range was particularly difficult, he said, as wind tends to swirl on the range, meaning the wind can actually affect a bullet from multiple directions, instead of one constant direction. One of the main purposes of the event is to not only improve marksmanship across the Canadian Armed Forces, as soldiers take knowledge back to their divisions, but to show soldiers that hitting a target less than a metre tall from 500 metres is possible for any soldier, said the competition’s director, Lt. Col. Don Haisell. Haisell has a blind spot in his right eye, he said, so he
knew he couldn’t shoot with his dominant right hand. After lots of training, Haisell learned to shoot with his left hand, and can know make that 500-metre shot. “We are all rifleman first,” said Lt. Erin Neate, an operations officer with CAFSAC. While the drills mimic army disciplines, they are considered essential knowledge for all Canadian soldiers. The winners of the team competition get to travel to Australia’s version of CAFSAC next year. This year, the winners were from 2nd Canadian Division Regular Force from Quebec: • Cpl. Jason Boutin • Cpl. Simon Leclerc • Cpl. Sebastien Masse • Cpl. Jean-Philippe Joanis • Cpl. Jean-Christophe Boivin-Couillard • Cpl. Joey Tremblay • Master Cpl. Dany Lessard • Cpl. Michael Aube • Cpl.

No layoffs planned as repair plan is developed Continued from page 45
The museum’s problems have sparked interest in creating a new dedicated site at Lebreton Flats, but Bouffard shot down the idea. “That’s outside speculation from our standpoint because the corporation doesn’t have a plan to move or relocate at this point. What we’re looking at is fixing the problem in order to welcome visitors as soon as possible.” Even if a new site were approved, it wouldn’t happen quick enough for the museum to reopen in the short term, “unless our locomotives start flying or something,” he said. “I wouldn’t even want to start speculating on how long it would take us to start moving some of our big artifacts, like lo-
OVER
comotives.” The museum is home to four steam-powered locomotive engines. Factor in the museum’s outdoor landmarks such as a lighthouse, a rocket and the Helen Sawyer Hogg Observatory, which houses one of the largest refractor telescopes in Canada “and I don’t think we’ll be sneaking out without anybody noticing,” Bouffard said. “At this point (moving elsewhere) is just not on the table or in the cards for us, as far as we know.” Meanwhile, about 60 staff members have been relocated to the Space and Aviation Museum and the Food and Agriculture Museum, as well as the corporation’s administration building on Lancaster Road, across the street from the shuttered museum.
They were initially evacuated from the premises on Sept. 11 after air-quality tests detected high levels of airborne mould during the week the facility was closed for week-long annual maintenance. “There are currently no layoffs. Everyone is being reassigned and redeployed through the corporation,” Bouffard said. “That’s a bit of a silver lining of being three museums together.” Between 50 and 60 customers who had booked the museum for children’s sleepovers, birthday parties and corporate events until the New Year are in the process of being contacted by staff with the offer of holding their group bookings at the sister museums, he said.
Erin McCracken/Metroland
The Canada Science and Technology Museum will remain closed until at least next January – much longer than museum officials had initially hoped following the Sept. 11 discovery of high levels of airborne mould caused by a leaking roof.

Darcy Findlay
Assistant Coach/Director of Player Development
Lasers
Meet the new head coach Adam Kveton • adam.kveton@metroland.com
Sports - A hard road lies ahead for the Kanata Lasers, said the team’s new head coach after almost two weeks at the team’s helm He has a simple goal in mind for the Lasers, he said: long-term development. The Kanata Lasers new head coach, Gregg Kennedy, stepped into the position after former head coach Adam Dewan quit during the week of Sept. 15. after a difference of opinion with other staff members, said the Lasers general manager, Jeff Hawkins. “The pitch to me was, ‘(This is) a developing team with some young talent and let’s get to them a little younger and let’s develop these players. Let’s go slow and get it right over the next two or three years.” “Asked whether we are going to achieve great things this season or not, I wouldn’t think so,” said Kennedy. “We are going to struggle and it’s going to be a tough year, so it’s going to come down to attitudes and working hard, putting in the effort and learning,” he said. Player development is Kennedy’s background, with more than two decades of experience, the last eight of which have been spent coaching in Ottawa’s AAA league. He’s been head coach for the Ottawa Jr. 67’s, the Upper Canada Cyclones AAA and the Ottawa Senators AAA teams, as well as the Carleton University Ravens. Having coached at the major bantam and minor midg-
et levels, Kennedy said he knows what is out there in terms of upcoming players. After seeing the team in action, Kennedy said he sees some talent on the Lasers roster and moments of strong, dominant play, but that there are key areas to focus on. The team’s two biggest hurdles are cutting down on shots on goal, and manufacturing their own chances on net. “That’s probably going to come from hard work and a lot of down low type stuff,” he said. “I don’t know if we are going to be a team that scores off the rush. We are probably going to be a hard-working bunch.” Further development will be focused on simplifying tactics to get the young team up to speed with the faster rate of play. Conditioning also has to be improved, and a re-distribution of ice time is needed, he said. “The plan is, let’s teach them the game … and let’s see what we get out of it. We are not concerned with who we are playing against every night. We are more concerned with who we are every night. So, we will play our game our way … and we will take the result we get.” Correction: In the story “Lasers head coach quits,” in the Sept. 25 edition of the Kourier-Standard, the team’s new head coach was mistakenly identified as Greg Robertson. The Lasers new head coach is in fact Gregg Kennedy. The mistake was made due to incorrect information provided by the Kanata Lasers. The Kourier-Standard apologizes for the error.
Stats......................
This is Darcy’s first year with the team. As a former athlete of the CJHL, Findlay led the Cornwall Colts to an RBC Cup Championship. After his Junior stint, Darcy moved on to Bemidji State- Div 1 where he made an appearance in the Frozen Four as well as 3 consecutive tournament appearances. As a high school teacher during the year, training hockey players all around through the summer, Findlay is a great leader in the room and on the bench. The Lasers are lucky to have him and are excited for years to come.

Video screen may have contributed to bus crash, safety board says Driver was speeding, looking at monitor seconds before deadly Barrhaven collision
screens can be located “as close as practicable to the driver’s forward line of sight,” instead of above and to the left of the operator, as they are currently positioned. The board also suggests certain in-vehicle systems be disabled unless the bus is parked. TOO SOON
Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com
News - The Transportation Safety Board is sounding the alarm, offering new information about a video screen that may have distracted the driver of a bus that collided with a train, killing six people in Barrhaven last year. The investigation into the Sept. 18, 2013 crash isn’t complete, said lead investigator Robert Johnston on Sept. 24, but the safety board is suggesting OC Transpo review whether the video displays on Ottawa’s 75 double-decker buses – which can be viewed by the bus driver while the bus is in motion –can be locked so they do not display video when the bus is moving. The TSB also said OC Transpo should look at whether video
Later that day, OC Transpo general manager John Manconi told reporters it’s too soon for the city to react in a “knee-jerk manner,” to the TSB’s suggestions, but calls have already been made to the bus manufacturer to begin discussions on options for altering the video monitors. The recommendations come after the TSB’s analysis of various sources of information, including interview with 60 passengers who were on the bus, revealed the driver, Dave Woodard, was glancing up at the video monitor five seconds before the crash. OC Transpo instructs drivers not to stare at the screens while driving, as the monitors are supposed to be used for the driver to ensure all passengers on the upper floor are seated before the bus starts moving. But witnesses said one passenger was still standing
upstairs just before the crash, Johnston said. The upper deck was close to full, he said. “We’ve correlated a sequence of events from various sources,” Johnston said. “We’ve done this through painstaking analysis and we’ve gone over and over and over it.” He said a team of 15 investigators looked at when braking was initiated and used data from the locomotive event recorder, crossing signal downloads, closed-circuit video from Fallowfield Station, the bus engine control module and interviews with around 60 bus passengers, next-of-kin and witnesses to work backwards and construct the 39-second timeline leading up to the crash. “Based on sorting through all that information, that is a relatively accurate timeline to the best of our ability,” Johnston said. The bus – a one-year-old Enviro 500 double-decker designed and manufactured by Alexander Dennis Limited in the United Kingdom – met all safety standards and nothing was mechanically wrong with it or its brakes, the TSB said.

CRASH TIMELINE
The Transportation Safety Board outlined a timeline of what occurred just before the Sept. 18, 2013 bus-train collision: • 8:47:23 – A passenger accessed the upper deck of the double-decker bus and remained standing while holding onto a pole at the top of the stairs. • 8:47:27 – The bus departed Fallowfield Station. • 8:47:57 – While the bus was travelling towards the rail crossing, the driver looked upwards and to the left towards the video monitor, likely noticing the passenger standing on the upper deck. • 8:47:59 – The bus passed the point at

This image distributed by the Transportation Safety Board shows where a four-screen split video monitor is placed in the cockpit of an OC Transpo double-decker bus. Board investigators say the screen may have been a factor in distracting the driver of a bus that collided with a Via train on Sept. 18, 2013, killing him and five others.
Speeding also a factor Woodard did not have a medical illness at the time of the crash and a toxicology report showed no drugs or alcohol in his system. The TSB is also recommending the city look at adding more measures to monitor and control bus speeds, since the bus was travelling at 67.6 kilometres per hour in a 60 km/h zone before the crash, based on data from the bus engine module and braking charts from the certification tests for a loaded bus, as well as charts provided by the bus manufacturer. When it collided with the Via Rail train, the bus was travelling between 6.4 and 7.7 km/h, the TSB said. If the bus had been travelling at the 60 km/h speed limit and all other factors were the same, it would have stopped 6.1 metres before the point of collision, Johnston said. The city has since lowered the bus speed limit to 50 km/h on that section of the Transitway. Johnston said determining how much force the bus driver was applying to the brakes will be one of the next steps in the investigation. CITY RESPONDS
the base and top of the stairwell alerting passengers to sit down when they reach the upper deck, but there are no signs on the second level reminding them of the requirement to sit. Changes to speed enforcement are also already underway, Manconi said. OC Transpo special constables conduct traffic enforcement on the Transitway because it is a private road, Manconi said, and a two-person dedicated radar speed enforcement unit will patrol the Transitway, focusing on the area near the rail tracks at Fallowfield. A number of operators have been disciplined for speeding since the crash, Manconi said. The approach is one of “progressive discipline,� he said, including suspensions, coaching and other measures. “It’s not permitted to speed,� Manconi said. “That’s the clear message.� There is a form operators can fill out if they feel the schedule doesn’t allow enough time for the driver to navigate the route at the posted speed limit, or if the schedule provides too much time, Manconi said. Kanellakos said he is not considering further reductions in the bus speed limit on the Transitway approaching the crash site as a past review showed that 50 km/h is the optimal limit to balance safety with driver experience and conditions on a section of roadway that’s designed to handle traffic travelling at 90 km/h.
Deputy city manager Steve Kanellakos said changes to the video monitors are just one of the items OC Transpo will review after receiving the two new safety advisory letters from the TSB on Sept. 24. The transit agency will also look at: • Operating procedures and training related to ensuring passengers are seated on double-decker buses. • Ergonomic factors and driver Dr. Marc Glavin Dr. Catherine Oliarnyk workload, especially at rail crossings.

Gangsters’ siblings focus of new diversion program Coalition’s gang strategy progress report unveils eight new anti-gang projects Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com
News – Several Ottawa organizations, from police to case workers, are reaching out to gang members’ families as part of a new strategy to divert younger siblings from joining
street gangs. The siblings-at-risk project is a partnership between the Ottawa police, the John Howard Society, Youturn Youth Support Services, Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa, Crossroads Children’s centre, provincial probation services and Ottawa Youth
Justice Services. Siblings of gang members are often recruited by gangs. “We do see family names repeat,� said acting Staff Sgt. Kenny Bryden, head of the police guns and gangs unit, adding the key is reaching siblings when they are still very young. The siblings-at-risk program “goes straight to the root of what could very possibly be the future of guns and gangs,� he said. “What that young fellow or that young girl might be learning or absorbing from the big brother, who knows, but they’re exposed to it,� Bryden said, adding they may be exposed to guns and drugs, violence, gang colours, symbols, jargon and graffiti. It is one of eight new initiatives that have been developed by more than a dozen agencies and organizations over the past year that were publicly unveiled on Sept. 23 as part of the Ottawa Gang Strategy steering committee’s one-year progress report on gangs in Ottawa. Since the three-year action plan was launched in June 2013, stakeholders have been developing collaborative programs to curb gang activity through prevention, inter-
vention, neighbourhood cohesion and enforcement and suppression activities.
“It’s the olive branch of ‘Look, this is why we’re here, but we’d love to help you out as well. Are you looking for an exit strategy from this world that you’re in? We can help you migrate out of that safely.� STAFF SGT. KENNY BRYDEN
Some of those initiatives are being rolled out in a number of communities identified by police as being affected by gang activity and violence, some of them the setting for some of the 30 shootings this year, including Herongate, Banff-Ledbury and other south Ottawa communities, said Bryden. As part of the “roadmap for ac-
tion,� community partners are sharing information, hosting training opportunities, providing a co-ordinated response in supporting families, and mapping out provincial services and resources, among several other supports. “A gang strategy is a long-term approach to a complex social problem, and so what the first-year (report) says is that we’re putting a lot of great pieces in place with the intention of creating, long-term, a community that will be resilient to crime and gangs, and will be able to keep families and children and youth safe,� said steering committee member Nancy Worsfold, who is executive director of Crime Prevention Ottawa, which is funding the initiatives coming out of the strategic plan. Since August, agencies have reached out to seven families of gang members or associates, and one has already accepted help. “Our goal is to target 14 families in a year,� said Christine McIntosh, director of child and youth services and employment and training for the John Howard Society of Ottawa.

See STUDY, page 49
Study identifies 485 gang members in Ottawa last year “Some have been entrenched for years. Some love the lifestyle, the money, the attention that maybe they wouldn’t necessarily get if they didn’t have this, the world of gang affiliation, the gang phenomenon.” The gang strategy reveals police identified about 485 gang members and associates in 2013, up from 473 in Ottawa in 2012, and between 15 to 19 street gangs in both 2012 and 2013. The hope is that the numbers of street gangs and members and associates operating in the city will go down if siblings can be diverted as soon as possible. “If we see a decrease in one or more or all of these numbers, we’re on track,” said Bryden. “I am very confident there are going to be very good results,” he said. “I can’t see tangible results right now, but I certainly see the makings of those.” While police enforcement is helping, “it needs support and this is the support it needs,” he said. More projects could be added over time to the Ottawa Gang Strategy, such as identifying key moments in a gang member’s life when they may consider leaving the gang. “So for example, one moment which sometimes causes young men to change their ways is becoming a father, so have we got a project yet? No,” said Worsfold. “Are we talking and thinking (about a project)? Yes.”
Continued from page 48
“We’re doing continuous intake over a period of a year, so obviously the work will continue past a year. I suspect when it’s all said and done, it will be, from the beginning to the end, a three-year process.” Families of gang members and gang associates are identified by police guns and gangs investigators. From there, families will be approached with an offer of assistance in the form of counselling, employment services and school programs for siblings and even the gang members. If the families consent to the service, a worker from John Howard or Youturn will tailor a program to the needs of the family, the siblings, and the gang member to help them leave behind gang life. “It’s a very holistic approach in supporting the whole family,” McIntosh said. “It’s for mom and dad and it’s for little Johnny and little Mary, but it’s also for that gang member and that gang associate that we know lives there,” said Bryden. “It’s the olive branch of ‘Look, this is why we’re here, but we’d love to help you out as well. Are you looking for an exit strategy from this world that you’re in? We can help you migrate out of that safely.’” Trying to get gang members to accept an offer of help is a “massive” hurdle, Bryden said.

Partner agencies, including the Ottawa Police Service, are rolling out tackle gangs and gang violence. Acting Staff Sgt. Kenny Bryden, head of the police guns and gangs unit, says one new program developed as part of the year-old Ottawa Gang Strategy is designed to divert younger kids from following the path of their older siblings who are known gang members or gang associates.

he old maple tree in the front yard had turned crimson, and all around the farm that year I could tell that soon we would be settling in for the cold days of fall, and then winter would be upon us. The season’s change had come as a great relief to me, although I still waited for signs from Father that all was well. You see, it was the height of the Depression, and every day I knew was a challenge for him, a challenge to survive yet another year, and then a comfort to know that the summer had yielded good crops and the winter ahead would be one of contentment. That didn’t mean of course, that there wouldn’t be work to be done. The long winter months would be filled with chores, but there wouldn’t be days of worry about a drought that could wipe out the fields of grain, or endless rain equally as damaging. Winter
MARY COOK Memories would be a time of catching up on fixing broken-down stalls in the cow byre, hauling in wood from the bush, and fixing harnesses, and mending aging machinery. But by the time the end of summer was upon us, I could see a change in Father. Although he talked little about it, I knew just by looking at him that his mind, for months, had been on survival. The summer months could make or break us, and I was old enough to sense uneasiness in Father at the end of each day. His days during those summer months began before daybreak, as he strived to make use of every waking
hour while the weather held. At night, as the darkness descended on us, I would watch Father go to the back door and look out at the sky, looking for any sign that the weather would change and we would be faced with torrential rain. Or he would look for clouds if we were going through a dry spell that threatened to rob us of the grain that would see us through another winter. It seemed to me, back then, that once the trees had turned, Father looked different, and he acted differently than he did on the days that had gone before us. See BLESSED, page 55

Bundt cake great for a potluck Preparation
Ingredients
Generously spray or oil a three-litre (10-inch) Bundt pan. Grate the carrots, measuring out one litre (4 cups). Combine the raisins and rum in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave on high for one minute, stir and microwave again for 30 seconds. Stir and set aside. In a large bowl, whisk the flour with the baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, ginger, nutmeg, salt and allspice. In a separate large bowl, with an electric mixer, beat together the oil, eggs and vanilla. Gradually beat in the sugar, then beat for two minutes. Gradually beat in the flour mixture. Stir in the carrots, then the raisins with any liquid, and the nuts. Scrape the mixture
• 4 large carrots • 250 ml (1 cup) golden raisins • 50 ml (1/4 cup) rum or water • 625 ml (2-1/2 cups) all-purpose flour • 15 ml (1 tbsp) baking powder •10 ml (2 tsp) cinnamon • 5 ml (1 tsp) baking soda • 5 ml (1 tsp) each ground ginger, nutmeg and salt • 2 ml (1/2 tsp) allspice • 250 ml (1 cup) vegetable oil • 4 eggs • 10 ml (2 tsp) vanilla • 300 ml (1-1/4 cups) lightly packed light brown sugar * 250 ml (1 cup) toasted chopped almonds with skins on maple glaze
into a prepared pan. Smooth the top. Bake in a 180 C (350 F) oven for one hour and 10 minutes or until a cake tester inserted in the centre comes out clean. Cool the pan on a rack for 15 minutes. Run the knife around the edge then turn out the cake onto a rack to cool completely before icing. Maple glaze: Place 125 ml (1/2 cup) of maple syrup in a medium bowl. Sift 625 ml (21/2 cups) of icing sugar. With an electric mixer, gradually beat the icing sugar into the maple syrup to make a thick, but pourable glaze. If it’s too thick, beat in 15 ml (1 tbsp) of milk. If it’s too thin, beat in more icing sugar. Drizzle the glaze over the cool cake and garnish with chopped nuts.

Blessed beyond measure kitchen, lighting his pipe, and taking one last cup of green tea. And I would know. I would know without asking why this change in Father from one season to the next was taking place. The hay mow would be full, and there was no worry that we would not have enough hay to feed our animals over the long winter. Grain would be plentiful. The cows would be healthy and ready to give us milk for our own use, and to take to the creamery. That year, it had been a good season, one amongst few in those Depression years. With enough feed to care for our livestock until the next crop was ready, the cellar full of vegetables and preserves, the meat house

He still went to the barns every night to check on the animals, but he no longer looked anxiously out at the night sky, trying to read what the next day would bring. I thought, back then, by the time the fall weather was ready to settle in, that his face didn’t show the weariness I saw nightly during the summer. He ate his supper more slowly, and I was quick to notice every page of the Ottawa Farm Journal was read, and he stayed longer in the old rocking chair by the Findlay Oval, as the darkness of the fall night closed in around us. And once he had taken one last trip out to the barns, instead of heading right for his bed, he lingered in the

full, and barrels of salt pork and sauerkraut at the ready – we had survived another year. And when I sat at the old pine table, as darkness came to the kitchen, I would look over at Father in the rocking chair, and I would say my silent thanks, and I would know why his face no longer had that weary look, nor would his eyes be heavy from the lack of sleep. The time to worry was over. All that could be done to survive had been done. There was nothing left to do, but cherish the warmth of home, and give grateful thanks. That one year in those lean 1930’s, I knew in my very young heart, just looking at the change in Father, we had been blessed beyond measure.

1. A strong site alteration by-law, with emphasis on "strong" Tree massacres, stream destruction and other assaults on our city’s natural features happen with impunity, because Council has yet to approve a promised by-law that would enforce environmentally responsible development. 2. A firm annual allocation for environmental lands acquisition Opportunities to acquire pockets of remaining natural areas continue to arise, but new funds are not allocated or are shifted to other uses. 3. Standing firm on the prohibition against future country lot subdivisions This form of "rural sprawl" has been stopped, but “compromises” could weaken the resolve to maintain the current prohibition. 4. Respecting the City's Advisory Committees' role as bridges between the public and Council

Three children are being treated for hospital-associated respiratory illnesses at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario, which is reporting an upswing in visits to its emergency department by children seeking treatment for respiratory illnesses.
Staff
News – The region’s children’s hospital is experiencing a spike in visits to its emergency room by children experiencing respiratory illness, prompting staff to put outbreak measures in place to curb the spread of infection. There have been no new confirmed cases of a serious respiratory virus infection, known as enterovirus D68, following the recent successful treatment of four children late last month. However, three patients have come down with hospitalassociated respiratory illnesses at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario. The hospital reports all three are doing well. The hospital last week reported 25 patients are being
treated for respiratory illness. While multiple respiratory viruses are currently making the rounds in the community, which the hospital says is typical this time of year, visits to CHEO’s emergency department were up seven per cent this September over last year. “About one-quarter of visits to CHEO’s emergency department currently are for respiratory infections, compared to 16 per cent last year,” Eva Schacherl, hospital spokeswoman, said in a statement released Sept. 24. precautions
The hospital is taking extra precautions in one of its medical units to combat the spread of respiratory infections. “Every year in viral season,
Canlok Stone
you can expect hospitals to put measures in place in different units at different times to help prevent the spread of infection,” Schacherl said. “CHEO takes infection prevention and control very seriously, and staff members are extremely vigilant with precautions to prevent the spread of respiratory and other infections among its vulnerable inpatients.” Extra measures range from restricting visitors to 4 East inpatient medical unit, limiting staff movement between different hospital units and increasing cleaning resources for rooms and equipment, among others. Suggestions also include staying home when sick and frequently disinfecting surfaces, such as doorknobs and toys.

Bank Street development approval delayed Councillor wants builder to address Glebe community’s parking concerns Laura Mueller
laura.mueller@metroland.com
News - A two-storey development in the Glebe was delayed after the community
and city councillor demanded answers about parking at the site. A decision on a rezoning request for a retail building and plaza at 852 Bank St. was put
off until an Oct. 2 meeting so the developer, Canderel, can work out the community’s parking concerns. There is currently a service station on the site. City planning staff supported the rezoning request relating to a patio, loading area and parking. Although the zoning would have required 40
to 60 parking stalls, Canderel doesn’t want to provide any parking on site, which the local merchants’ association and community group were worried about, said Capital Coun. David Chernushenko. Glebe Community Association planning committee member Carolyn Mackenzie said the group sees the delay as a
potentially positive one, as she hopes it will improve the current plans for the site. In preparation for the upcoming presentation from Canderel developments, Mackenzie said the community association, the Glebe’s Business Improvement Area and the councillor all worked together to speak against the current develop-
ment plans. According to Mackenzie, the three agreed more parking was needed or a reasonable explanation of why it would not be technically feasible to build underground parking on the site and were prepared to speak to that at the city meeting. Planning committee chairman Coun. Peter Hume said he’d grill Canderel on why the building isn’t something “more substantial” during the next committee meeting. With files from Michelle Nash

IN MEMORIAM
HAPPY BIRTHDAYS • 90 & 86 A special occasion and milestone was celebrated this past September 13th by Willis and Dodie Gourlay at their home close by the historic Madawaska River. Willis’ 90th birthday (September 10) and Dodie’s 86th birthday (September 9) were marked with a special afternoon party held for family members, former and new neighbours, and friends. The party was planned and organized by Susan (daughter) and husband Michael Berberick of Hamilton, Ontario. It was a very amiable happy gathering as all present enjoyed fine food, much picture taking and of course sharing the birthday cake. Granddaughter Stephanie and her young Jones family of Jack (3+) and Willow (3 months) the great grandchildren were the first to sample the cake! Willis and Dodie wish to thank all those at the party and also those in distant locations who sent “best wishes”, cards and gifts. It is truly wonderful to have such a great family, caring, neighbours and many friends across our great land.
Thanks for the memories! ANNIVERSARY

He is gone, but not forgotten, And, as it dawns another year, In our lonely hours of thinking, Thoughts of him are always near. Days of sadness will come o’er us, Many think the wound is healed, But they little know the sorrow, That lies in the heart concealed. Delanie and son Graysen Mom and Dad Jason and Maneau Rod

Elmvale Acres church opens labyrinth for community Erin McCracken
erin.mccracken@metroland.com
News - Within weeks of its installation, a labyrinth is already bringing peace of mind to those who walk the circular stone path in the front courtyard of an Anglican church in the Elmvale Acres community. Parishioners of St. Aidan’s Anglican Church didn’t just initiate the project to mark the church’s 50th anniversary this year or to only serve the congregation. The labyrinth was also created for the greater community, said Peter Martin, a Blackburn Hamlet resident and longtime member of and volunteer with the church. “What we want to do is do it for the community as opposed to drawing people in to our church,” he said. “We want to open it up and make it available to anybody in this area.” Residents are encouraged to try walking the stone pathway before the first snowfall, he added. The idea to build the circular, winding pathway within the front walkway at the church, located at 934 Hamlet Rd., took root in March after a handful of people from St. Aidan’s took part in a workshop on
labyrinths at St. Stephen’s Anglican Church in Nepean. The participants came away with a deeper understanding of the spiritual and therapeutic benefits of labyrinths, as well as insight into their history, thanks to Beverly Chen, a certified labyrinth facilitator who delivered the workshop. “And so we came back and said, ‘Well, look at that space. Why don’t we put a labyrinth in there?’” Martin said of St. Aidan’s deteriorating front walk, which needed to be repaired. Church volunteers had already set aside some fundraising dollars and also received financial support in the form of a grant from the Anglican Diocese. The funds allowed church volunteers to cover the labyrinth’s $6,000 price tag. “And in the space of four months it was finished.” Martin said of the light grey stone pathway. St. Aidan’s christened the labyrinth on Sept. 14, a day after Chen, the labyrinth facilitator, delivered another workshop – this time at the Elmvale Acres church. Many participants found the session very moving, as well as educational, said Martin.
They learned labyrinths provide a single path that is safe and offers deeper healing, he said, adding that they are also designed to serve as a place of prayer and meditation, as well as serve as a spiritual oasis. The labyrinth is not a maze; there are no wrong turns or dead ends, Martin said referring to information he learned from Chen.
Those who walk the circular path are encouraged to go with an open mind and heart, he said, adding that the labyrinth’s roots can be traced back 4,000 years. Designed to encourage relaxation, renewal and connection, some parishioners have already felt a difference after walking along the winding pathway, and say it helped them clear

Ottawa man wins award from NASA Brier Dodge
brier.dodge@metroland.com
News - Local engineers were recently recognized internationally for making future air passengers safer. Mike Benner, a team leader (propulsion) at the National Research Council is a Fallingbrook resident, who received a prestigious award from America’s space agency, NASA. He was accompanied by another Ottawa resident, Craig Davison, who lives in Old Ottawa South and is a research officer at the NRC. The two were part of a larger group who were awarded the United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s group achievement award in Ohio on Sept. 12. They were awarded the
honour for developing an instrument which measures ice content in clouds at high altitudes. Clouds are made up of liquid droplets, but at higher altitudes, they freeze into ice crystals in the clouds. The probe was put to the test in an early 2014 flight campaign in Australia. The data is important because certain engine types don’t perform as well in clouds with a higher ice concentration; there currently aren’t certification rules for engine performance passing through ice crystal clouds. “In the past 10 or 15 years, they’ve found certain engine types don’t do particularly well when they’re flying through clouds made up of ice crystals,” Benner said. “Typically when an aircraft engine is certified to be used
for transporting people, those engines have to be certified to operate safely in clouds. (But) that’s when the clouds are made up of liquid water droplets.” Benner said he expects future regulations to certify engine performance in altitudes with ice crystals in clouds. The project Benner and Davison worked on provides a way to collect data and research in those clouds. The team designed, fabricated, tested, delivered and operated the device to do the research, called an iso-kinetic probe. Davison said it will be used on research aircrafts; regulatory agencies like Transportation Canada can then use the data collected. “It was completely unexpected and obviously a great
honour to receive an award from NASA; it doesn’t happen often for staff from NRC,” Brenner said. “We endured quite a bit of uncertainty, whether or not we were going to overcome a number of challenges.” The iso-kinetic probe work isn’t done yet. Benner and Davison are still working on another probe that will be able to undergo wind tunnel testing.
