Cuts endanger sex offender program Kourier-Standard Staff

This week, the Kanata Kourier-Standard presents the second story in a fourpart series on recidivism.

The feature focuses on an Ottawa organization that is struggling to find funding to replace critical federal dollars in an effort to continue helping former highrisk sex offenders.

Circles of Support and Accountability-Ottawa is

already making cuts in advance of the impending financial loss in an attempt to ward off having to scale back or close down.

Experts say the potential impact on the group of volunteers could spell trouble for the people it is helping reintegrate in society after prison and ensuring they remain victim-free.

Public board proposes design for Terry Fox Drive school Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com

News - The Ottawa public school board is one step closer in deciding on a location for a new elementary school in north Kanata.

The Ottawa-Carleton District School Board came forward with a site plan proposal for the design of an elementary school at 425 Terry Fox Dr. across from Old Second Line Dr. near Morgan’s Grant.

This comes after months of stalled negotiations earlier this year after the city denied the board’s rezoning application to place the new school on Innovation Drive. This was due to businesses near the site saying the school may limit potential business expansion as well as their current operations over perceived safety issues.

The public board has since appealed the city’s decision to

the Ontario Municipal. While the public school board has not yet rescinded its appeal, progress is being made on the potential Terry Fox Drive location said the board’s chair, Jennifer McKenzie.

“We are in the process of working out the details for the purchase of that site,” said McKenzie. “Our staff has been holding meetings with the city staff and with the developer and we still haven’t sorted everything out, but we are making progress.”

The board’s proposal is for a two-storey school building with 27 classrooms, outdoor recreation space including a soccer field, a basketball court and room for 12 future portables.

The school building itself would be located on the southeast side of the site, the area furthest away from Terry Fox Drive. Parking would be located along the north-east side of

the site next to a future access road, while the outdoor recreation area would be shielded from Terry Fox Drive on the north-west by trees.

“I think it could be a beautiful school site with all the natural areas nearby and a wonderful way to include the kids in environmental education,” said McKenzie, with Trillium Woods located to the east of the site.

The school will also be close to Blanding’s turtles habitat. “(The development of the site) is all being done very carefully to not disturb their habitat,” she said.

The major roadblock to making a deal on the Terry Fox Drive site is service connections with municipal water, sewer and storm drain, said both McKenzie and Kanata North Coun.

Marianne Wilkinson.

“It’s not 100 per cent a done deal until (the school board)

in close communications with the ministry and so far it’s not been a concern,” she said.

But until the Terry Fox Drive site is a sure thing, the public school board has to keep its options open, said

gets all these servicing things resolved,” said Wilkinson, because the site would eventually share services with a subdivision planned for the area.

The public school board is in talks with the developer to share costs and discuss how best to arrange the connections so they are compatible with the future subdivision, said McKenzie.

The city overlooked these yet-to-be-resolved issues with the board’s site plan proposal in an effort to get the school built as soon as possible, said Wilkinson.

The provincial funding for the new school was arranged with the understanding that it would be completed by September, 2015.

Wilkinson said that, if all goes well, construction on the school could start in the spring of 2015. McKenzie said she did not know when construction might be completed if it started then, but said it would not be finished

by September, 2015.

But funding has not been a problem yet, said McKenzie.

“We’ve been keeping

McKenzie, which means pushing ahead with an appeal to the OMB over the Innovation Drive location.

Wilkinson said the city has “bent over backwards” to get things approved on the Terry Fox Drive site, saying the school board has not had to deal with the city’s usually slow process.

Nonetheless, McKenzie said the process is, “going more slowly than any of us would have liked. But I think we are starting to move a little better now.”

Community members can comment on the proposed plan by Oct. 7 with a decision being made by Nov. 8.

A founding father of Kanata dies at age 78 Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com

News - One of Kanata’s strongest advocates and long-time residents, John Mlacak, died on Sept. 19 at the age of 78.

Mlacak, known for his bright landscape oil paintings, his community activism and his political career as reeve of the former March township, had been experiencing health problems for years, said his widow, Beth Mlacak.

He passed away at home, she said.

“This is the busy time,” said Beth while sitting in her home, the same one she and John purchased in 1964 before it was even built, surrounded by her husband’s paintings. “Everybody is here, and there is lots to do and things to arrange.

“It’s later on, you know, that it really settles in,” she said.

Neighbours and friends in the community are a comfort, said Beth. Many of them shared in his passion for creating a garden city, and many still live in the community he was integral in creating.

Mlacak was one of the first residents of and converts to Bill Teron’s idea of a garden city called Kanata.

Leaving Kingston, the Mlacaks came looking for a home in Ottawa, and after reading about the concept of a community

John Mlacak, a strong community advocate for Beaverbrook and Kanata, pictured above, died on Sept. 19 at the age of 78. where “the houses would be subservient to the landscape,” the couple settled on a house in what is now Beaverbrook, said Beth.

“We bought the house right then and

there, though there was no house to see, and no plans,” she said.

Finding himself on the ground oor of a brand new community with some very different ideas, Mlacak quickly got involved.

Teron would call community meetings, asking for residents to help out with tree planting or creating pathways, and Mlacak would pitch in. He was soon asked to be a member of a committee with March township (which used to encompass the northern part of Kanata), and was elected chair, and then in 1965 he ran for councillor and won.

Two years later, when he was campaigning for re-election, he was chastised for setting his sights too SUBMITTED low. “He’s running for council, and John Mlacak was a painter for 35 years, working in oils and producing nature landscapes such as the painting, above, entitled ‘Northern Shoreline. that’s really stupid because he should be running for reeve,� Beth recalls a neighbour saying in the middle of a party.

By the end of the night, Mlacak was running for reeve, and won by 23 votes, said Beth. That began his nine-year career in March township’s top job. “He was not a politically ambitious man at all, but he was part of

this new town,� she said, and felt he needed to be a part of the decisions being made.

That included implementing Teron’s vision. “We worked in tandem for the dream,� said Teron. “He believed in it, I believed in it, and we just worked together, and he was just absolutely marvelous. “Without him, Kanata would not

have been implemented ‌ He will be truly missed.�

! " “I would say (the community)

# $% meant, next to his family, probably everything,� said Beth. “He wanted &' & ' ( '' it to succeed and a lot of what he

sees in Beaverbrook ‌ he thinks it succeeded.�

Though he was certainly not a fan of the recent intensiďŹ cation and planned development near Beaverbrook and elsewhere in Kanata, said Beth.

As recent as this past summer, Mlacak continued to attend development meetings at City Hall and push against the developments he did not agree with, said Beth. “He had been very perturbed and had limped down to city hall to tell them what he thought, that they have an ofďŹ cial plan, and why don’t they use it?â€? said Beth.

Mlacak’s idea of what the garden city concept should be came out not just at city hall meetings, but in his art too, said Marianne Wilkinson, Mlacak’s successor as reeve of the March township and now Coun. for Kanata North. “He put his love of nature and the community into his paintings,� said Wilkinson. “It really ties together the idea of the new community as a garden city.�

During and after his political work, Mlacak began his painting career, helping to start the Kanata Civic Art Gallery, and participating in many other groups. “He started taking classes ‌ mostly in water colour,â€? said Beth. “Then he would promptly come home and do oil (paintings),â€? she said with a laugh. “I used to ask him why he did that, and he would say, ‘I would like to be able to learn how to do watercolours, but I like the soft, buttery feel of oils, and if you don’t like something you can change it. With watercolours, you’ve got to get it right.’â€? “He really enjoyed painting outdoors,â€? said his son, Bill. “He en-

joyed traveling with groups of painters and doing en plein air painting, and he enjoyed having lots of art around him. We all have lots of art around us as a result.� “His art expresses everything about him,� said Wendy Landon, a long-time friend of the family and surrogate daughter to the Mlacaks.

Over 35 years, Mlacak’s style grew from using a sombre, brown pallet to a bright, lively, vibrant one.

Now, his work can be seen in various galleries in Ottawa, in homes in Indonesia, Korea and Japan, in his friends’ and neighours’ homes, as well as his family’s. “So many people have expressed in their communication with us that they have him in their homes, and they’ve already derived a lot of joy in having (a painting by Mlacak), but they will enjoy it even more now.�

Mlacak was a calm, quiet man, and a good listener, said Beth. He enjoyed working for Bell Northern Research (later a part of Nortel), helping to build the ďŹ rst computerized telephone switch, dubbed the SP-1. He was a willing mentor, and someone who many people looked to for advice, said Wilkinson and Teron. “He really was the co-father of Kanata,â€? said Teron.

His work can be seen now, in the community he helped build. “We’ve been really blessed to have wonderful neighbours and friends in this community, and we’ve certainly seen the beneďŹ ts of that in the last number of days,â€? said Beth. “It think that’s what was intended, and, for us anyway, it’s happened, and I hope (it happens) for other people, too.â€?

A memorial for Mlacak will be held at the John G. Mlacak Centre at 2500 Campeau Dr. on Sept. 27 from 6 to 9 p.m.

Public school board breaks ground for school additions Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com

News - Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s public school board held a ground breaking ceremony at two Kanata schools on Sept. 19, announcing a construction push aimed at relieving the pressure on the school system.

Sod turning ceremonies were held at both Earl of March Secondary School at 4 The Parkway, and at South March Public School at 1032 Klondike Rd. The ceremony celebrated $17.3 million worth of construction to add Grades 7 and 8 classrooms to Earl of March and accommodate full-day kindergarten needs at South March Public School.

Construction of the $12-million addition

2014 Ottawa Book Awards

ottawa.ca/bookawards

at Earl of March will create a two-storey, 24 classroom extension to the school, including a double gym, administration space and specialty space, states a board news release.

The extension will make Earl of March Secondary School the public boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second grades 7-12 school.

The new space will make space for 550 students, said Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson. The grades 7-8 portion of Earl of March Secondary School will, in some ways, function as its own school. Students will have their own separate administration and principal, said public school board chair, Jennifer McKenzie, but both sides of the school will co-ordinate to access their shared facilities.

Trustee races pick up speed

N

ext monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s municipal election will include more names on ballots thanks to growing interest of would-be school trustees.

More people than usual want to serve on the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s public and Catholic school boards. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good sign for the present day and for the future.

In the past, many candidates have been acclaimed. In every case, that means the lack of political campaigning has removed an opportunity for parents to ask questions and for candidates to prove they are well-suited to the role.

Many people are quick to complain about their political choices, but may be unwilling to step forward themselves. Those that run deserve kudos.

Given that a trustee gets to work hard for very little compensation, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s given that anyone willing to run for that office is doing so because they want to make a difference, not for fame, glory or financial gain.

It takes confidence to step up and face the test of an election, and for that, every candidate should be

commended.

Every candidate will learn a great deal even if they are unsuccessful. Campaigning, posting signs and knocking on doors teaches us about them, and teaches the candidates about themselves.

Those who do go on to serve will learn even more. They will also get a large helping of parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; demands and a taste of politics. It cannot be easy to listen to demands from people on both sides of an issue â&#x20AC;&#x201C; nice people, difficult people â&#x20AC;&#x201C; knowing there is oftentimes no way to make everyone happy.

Some of our trustees may look beyond the school board table in coming years. And following a positive term or two, those who enjoy the life may well move on to a run for city council, with provincial and federal seats a possibility if they prove worthy.

So give your trustee race a thought prior to Oct. 27 vote. Kids should experience a school system led and directed by dedicated people, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth learning a bit so kids learn better.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all win-win, except that someone has to lose.

Ducking out of the spotlightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s glare

I

tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interesting to follow, at a safe distance, the debate over noise at the Ottawa Folk Festival.

You can sum it up as follows: one the one side are people who are bothered by music they consider to be too loud; on the other side are people who think the complainers are old-fashioned and should get over it.

None of this is new â&#x20AC;&#x201C; although complaints about pulsing bass notes do not traditionally accompany folk festivals â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and none of it is confined to this city. It is part of the inevitable conflict between those who want a city to be more than it is and those who like it just fine right now.

The usual focus of the debate is the big event â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a festival, a summit meeting, a major sporting event.

Funny Town think those who oppose it are oldfashioned. But there is more to it than that. We need look no further than Toronto, where the decades-long quest to be world-class continues.

Whether or the not goal is being approached is open for debate. What is not debatable is the fact that the quest can involve considerable inconvenience for the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s residents.

in order to properly showcase the Toronto International Film Festival.

On the closed streets, people could stand behind barricades and watch movie stars walk by.

That was pretty great for them and it got lots of photographs in the international media showing Toronto as the kind of place where movie stars can be found.

It was not pretty great for the nonstargazing-public, whose streetcars were routed off King Street onto other streets which already had their own streetcars, plus hundreds, if not thousands, of automobiles trying to find their way across town. Chaos ensued, including a streetcar 30-minute journey that took 90 minutes while fans waved at movie stars.

ronto media certainly made mention of traffic difficulties, but the coverage paled beside the worshipful attention given to movie stars waving.

The film festival is there to stay, but there is a growing tide of expert opinion that many big events are more trouble for a city than they are worth. There are fewer bids from major cities for big events.

Toronto is now gearing up for the Pan-Am Games, which will last two weeks next July. There will be big construction, big-time security and lots of rerouting of traffic. Perhaps it will enhance the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reputation, but will do little for the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reputation among the people who live in it.

This is the trade-off cities face.

Their reputations are to an extent dependent upon what they do for visitors. But their quality of life depends on what they do for the people who live in them year-round.

Among the things cities can do

for those people is keep the transit moving, maintain good schools and libraries, pick up the garbage and keep the noise down. Call them small events, with no big international headlines, but definitely not oldfashioned.

No magic retirement number

I

f you’re like the majority of Canadians, the idea of thinking about retirement savings makes you shudder, if not downright uncomfortable.

The problem, for many of us, is the fear we’re ill-prepared because we don’t have enough in savings.

A poll conducted on behalf of BMO Harris Private Banking late last year, for example, found the average Canadian anticipates needing a little more than $900,000 in order to retire comfortably. Among the 1,000 Canadians polled by Pollara Strategic Insights for the bank, however, only a third believed they could actually achieve that goal.

There are a few concerning social and economic trends at play that should quite rightly have Canadians worried about their future finances.

For one, the majority of us are choosing to have children later in life, which means we’re paying out big bucks for daycare or taking pay cuts at work to look after kids in our thirties and forties, when we should be accumulating wealth for the future.

We also may have to consider delay-

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse ing retirement because we anticipate paying for kids’ post-secondary education in our early sixties.

Add to that low interest rates and easy access to credit, and you’ve got many Canadians running up debt to buy things now, rather than saving for tomorrow; debt that may carry over into their retirement years.

If all those things sound too familiar and trigger a tiny bit of fear, you may want to check out a free offering from Money Coaches Canada called Money Mondays.

Money Coach Judith Cane, launched the first Ottawa one at Cafe Latte Chino in Orléans two years ago, shortly after joining Vancouver-based Money Coaches Canada, a fee-for-service financial planning organization.

Within the last few months, the

Ottawa team has expanded to four, including francophone Anne Perrault.

Money Mondays is also expanding, with three simultaneous sessions occurring across the city on the last Monday of each month.

“This week we’re looking at retirement. How much do you need? It may be less than you think,” explains Janet Gray, who joined the Ottawa team in July.

One of the myths Gray hopes she and her colleagues will dispel through simultaneous discussions at three locations across the city on September 25th is that there is a magic number – like $900,000 – that is ideal for everyone.

“Retirement planning is unique,” Gray says.

“It’s so personalized that any blanket statement on what retirement looks like is just that, a blanket statement. Everyone has to determine their own vision of retirement.”

“Someone may be walking around worrying that they need a million dollars to retire when all they want to do is plant a backyard garden and maybe work a part-time job for 10 years post-retirement,” she adds.

“Their needs will be quite different from the couple that wants to buy a yacht and travel around the world.”

Gray said the public discussion is designed to help interested people get their heads around the reality of retirement planning. It starts with understanding and quantifying their current lifestyle.

“They then have to capture a R0432496643

vision of what they want their retirement to be, that lifestyle, what they want it to look like,” says Gray. “And they need to quantify that vision.”

From there, people need to look at the money gap – how much they’ve got or expect to have in savings at their target age of retirement and the actual annual post-retirement income they require.

Gray notes that upward trends in housing prices are causing people to question relying on equity in their homes or downsizing as an option to fund their post-work years.

“At the same time, people are getting creative,” says Gray.

“You’re starting to see more boomers living together – two bachelors, for example. And more people are considering part-time or consulting work an option to make up the income gap.”

LETTERS NOTICE OF ADOPTION OF AN OFFICIAL PLAN AMENDMENT TO THE CITY OF OTTAWA OFFICIAL PLAN In accordance with Section 17(23) of the Planning Act, you are hereby notified of Ottawa City Council’s decision on September 10, 2014 to adopt Amendment No. 140 to the Official Plan of the City of Ottawa.

PURPOSE OF THE AMENDMENT The purpose of Amendment No.140 is to address corrections to policies adopted by Council as part of the Comprehensive Official Plan Amendment No.150 (OPA 150). Some of these corrections include errors made in the consolidation of the Council motions in the adopted amendment in December 2013. Others include updates of transportation policies and schedules due to changes in the Transportation Master Plan (TMP) after OPA 150 was adopted.

INFORMATION Information on Amendment No. 140 can be obtained from: Bruce Finlay, Planner Tel: 613-580-2424, ext. 21850 E-mail: Bruce.Finlay@ottawa.ca.

NOTICE OF APPEAL Pursuant to section 17(24) of the Planning Act, any person or public body who, before Amendment No. 140 was adopted, made oral submissions at a public meeting or written submissions to City Council, may appeal City Council’s decision to the Ontario Municipal Board, by filing a notice of appeal to the Amendment with the Clerk of the City of Ottawa. Such appeal must identify in writing, which parts of the decision (all or parts thereof) are being appealed and the reasons for doing so. All appeals must also be accompanied by the Ontario Municipal Board’s prescribed fee of $125.00, which may be in the form of a cheque payable to the Minister of Finance.

A notice of appeal can be mailed to the City Clerk at 110 Laurier Avenue West, Ottawa, Ontario, K1P 1J1, or by delivering the notice in person, to Ottawa City Hall, at the Information Desk in the Rotunda on the 1st floor, 110 Laurier Avenue West.

A notice of appeal must be received no later than 4:30 p.m. on October 15, 2014.

The proposed Official Plan Amendment is exempt from approval by the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing. The decision of City Council is final if a notice of appeal is not received on or before the last day for filing a notice of appeal.

Please note that only individuals, corporations or public bodies may appeal a City Council decision on an Official Plan Amendment to the Ontario Municipal Board. A notice of appeal may not be filed by an unincorporated association or group. However, a notice of appeal may be filed in the name of an individual who is a member of the association or the group on its behalf.

No person or public body shall be added as a party to the hearing of the appeal unless, before the amendment was adopted, the person or public body made oral submissions at a public meeting or written submissions to City Council or, in the opinion of the Ontario Municipal Board, there are reasonable grounds to add the person or public body as a party.

NOTICE OF HEARING Should the Official Plan Amendment be appealed, persons or public bodies who wish to receive notice of the Ontario Municipal Board hearing can receive such notice by submitting a written request to the identified planner.

RELATED PLANNING APPLICATIONS Amendment No. 140 applies city-wide and therefore may apply to the same land as other applications lodged with the City. If you have questions concerning how OPA 140 impacts a particular application or property please contact Bruce Finlay at the number identified above.

Candidates must take pride in our city’s parkland To the editor,

What does my family and friends want from the future Kanata North councillor?

We want a beautiful park for our community at the Kanata Town Centre Core. We need it as part of an effort from the council to develop community culture. Suburbs are planned to make cars happy, not designed for people to lead a healthy community life.

Likewise, Kanata was designed for people to drive diligently rather than to enjoy community encounters.

We want city councillors to build something meaningful for future generations at the Kanata Town Centre core, the park of 19 hectares across from Walmart, an area that belongs to the city.

There is enough space to meet the different needs of our community.

We need nice paths where people will want to exercise to maintain or improve their health, with workout stations installed along the paths.

We want a welcoming, well-lit, safe zone where our youth can go to hang out, date, flirt, walk, and meet with their friends.

A natural area where our seniors can enjoy the beauty of nature, with sturdy tables and stools for them to sit, chat, relax and sunbathe.

A park where people will want to walk their dog, jog with babies in strollers, run at any hour of day or night.

An area with infrastructure for people to socialize, and enjoy community life. A park where people can cross country ski in the winter. A park that takes advantage of the exceptional geological conditions, where the Canadian Shield is respected and enjoyed.

A park with an acoustic stage, for artists to demo, exhibit and sell visual and performing arts. A park with a gorgeous gazebo where weddings or other social events can be hosted.

Connected to your community

A park with raised beds for community gardens, where children can learn and practice food production. A park with picnic tables where all members of our community can go to enjoy the beauty of the lagoon.

Does Kanata North need more commercial spaces?

Certainly. Rather than more space for corporations, the community needs affordable space for local emerging entrepreneurs in need for affordable space to launch and take off their commercial projects. A working studio for creative people to show and commercialize their expertise in pottery, weaving, painting, engraving etc. A space for youth to learn and practice strategies as part of their high school marketing and commerce work.

We want a park that counteracts the bad taste and lack of pedestrian friendliness of the Kanata Centrum. We want to be able to walk or cycle to the park, we don’t need more parking areas. We want a park where we can go and feel part of something larger, especially something larger and more meaningful than driving and shopping.

Rural lifestyle threatened To the editor,

It has been more than six months since rural citizens first became aware of a serious threat to their wells, their right to sever a lot from their property and the future of living a rural lifestyle within the city of Ottawa.

A property owner in West Carleton wanted to sever a lot for his son. The committee of adjustment agreed and said he met all the requirements for such a severance as long as he dug a well and when the water was tested it met the Ministry of Environment ‘s D-5-5 Guidelines.

See COMMITTEE, page 11

LETTERS

Connected to your community

Committee response discouraging: resident Continued from page 10

No one had any problems with water in his area so he went ahead and after spending $17, 000 he had the engineer’s report which said the water was plentiful; it met all the health parameters of the MOE’s D5-5 guidelines and most of the aesthetic parameters; it was high in sulphate but this could be treated. The severance was denied!

When people heard this story they couldn’t believe it and about 200 people showed up at the April meeting of the agricultural and rural affairs committee (ARAC) where you are allowed to speak for five minutes only on issues that concern you. Since the city has done away with the rural advisory committee and have reduced the agricultural and rural affairs office to about two staff members in the rural development office this was

our only hope of influencing our rural councillors who had shown no concern individually for the family who had lost so much.

It turned out to be one of most undemocratic meetings I have ever attended. As a speaker I felt that my words and those of every other speaker were totally ignored and the councillors committed to a course of action before the meeting began. They were prepared to read a letter written before the meeting asking the province to update the Ministry of the Environment’s D-5-5 water guidelines.

This is not what we wanted. These guidelines do not need to be changed but the city’s use of them should be. I have not been able to find another rural municipality that uses these guidelines as a basis on which to refuse an individual lot severance. They are guidelines intended to help municipalities set standards for communal wells and large sub-divisions.

Modern technology enables rural homeowners to treat their own water as well as the city can be trusted to take dirty water from the Ottawa River and treat it to serve

urban and suburban citizens. There are more boil water advisories for communal wells than for individual rural wells.

If an engineer’s report states that the water can be treated that should be assurance enough to allow for a severance, but, in our city it is not. In Ottawa, the raw groundwater quality must meet the requirements of MOE Procedure D-5-5 plus a few other parameters that are part of the standard “subdivision package”. How many rural people can say that about their water?

In addition to their failure to understand the difference between a guideline and a mandated regulation, the indifference with which our rural councillors have treated the rural people who are concerned about the future of their wells and the effect that the city’s actions will have on rural property values is disheartening. I have since attended three more ARAC meetings and there is no evidence that the councillors care about the consequences of their decision.

NOTICE OF PASSING OF ZONING BY-LAWS AND ADOPTION OF AN OFFICIAL PLAN AMENDMENT BY THE CITY OF OTTAWA TAKE NOTICE that the Council of the City of Ottawa passed By-law Numbers 2014-343, 2014-347 and 2014-350 on September 10, 2014 under Section 34 of The Planning Act. TAKE NOTICE in accordance with Section 17(23) of The Planning Act, you are hereby notified of Ottawa’s City Council’s decision on September 10, 2014 to adopt Amendment No.136 to the Official Plan of the City of Ottawa.

The Zoning By-law Amendments and Official Plan Amendment result from a City-initiated study on building heights in Kanata.

Details on the properties affected by these amendments can be found on the study website at www.ottawa.ca/kanatazoning.

PURPOSE OF THE ZONING BY-LAW AMENDMENTS The amendment from By-law 2014-343 has the effect of rezoning 1200 Maritime Way to permit a maximum building height of the lesser of 67 metres or twenty-storeys. The land will be zoned MC15(2165)-h, which is a mixed-use zone permitting a range of residential and non-residential uses. The property will also be subject to a holding zone (- h) which is conditional upon a development being granted approval from the Urban Design Review Panel (UDRP) and an application for Site Plan Control. This means the right to a building height of the lesser of 67 metres or twenty-storeys will not be permitted until the holding zone is lifted which first requires approval by UDRP and Site Plan Control.

The amendments to 1200 Maritime Way represent an implementation of the amended Kanata Town Centre Secondary Plan, which further provides consistency with Official Plan Amendment 150. By-law 2014-343 will not come into effect unless, and until, the corresponding policies of OPA 150 also come into effect.

By-law No. 2014-347 effects various properties along March Road at the intersections of Klondike Road, Shirley’s Brook Drive and Terry Fox Drive, as well as various properties along Hazeldean Road (Terry Fox Drive to Eagleson Road) and along the west side of Eagleson Road south of Rothesay Drive to Terry Fox Drive.

The amendments implement the Official Plan by rezoning properties along March Road to generally permit building heights up to six storeys and zoning that permits a range of residential and commercial uses. The amendments along the subject properties on Hazeldean Road and Eagleson Road generally permit heights up to nine storeys (30 metres) as well as permitting a variety of residential and commercial uses. The Heritage Overlay was removed from the property municipally known as 486 Hazeldean Road.

By-law No. 2014-350 effects 420 & 430 Hazeldean Road by amending the zoning to permit a variety of non-residential uses consistent with this Arterial Mainstreet and to update the parking requirements.

PURPOSE OF THE OFFICIAL PLAN AMENDMENT Official Plan Amendment No.136 amends the Kanata Town Centre Secondary Plan to ensure that the policy direction is updated for consistency with OPA 150, especially as it relates to building heights and density along the Rapid Transit Corridor.

Amendment No. 136 will not come into effect unless, and until, the corresponding policies of OPA 150 also come into effect.

For further information on the above, please contact: Andrew McCreight, Planner Tel: 613-580-2424, ext. 22568 E-mail: Andrew.McCreight@ottawa.ca.

AND TAKE NOTICE that any person or public body who, before the Zoning By-laws or the Official Plan Amendment were enacted, made oral submissions, at a public meeting or written submissions to City Council, may appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board with respect to either the Zoning By-law Amendments or the Official Plan Amendment, by filing with the City Clerk of the City of Ottawa, a notice of appeal setting out their objection to the Zoning By-law(s) or the Official Plan Amendment and the reasons in support of the objection. Each appeal must be accompanied by the Ontario Municipal Board’s prescribed fee of $125.00, which may be made in the form of a cheque payable to the Minister of Finance.

A notice of appeal can be mailed to the City Clerk at 110 Laurier Avenue West, Ottawa, Ontario, K1P 1J1, or by delivering the notice in person, to Ottawa City Hall, at the Information Desk in the Rotunda on the 1st floor, 110 Laurier Avenue West.

A notice of appeal must be received no later than 4:30 p.m. on October 15, 2014.

Only individuals, corporations and public bodies may appeal a Zoning By-law or an Official Plan amendment to the Ontario Municipal Board. A notice of appeal may not be filed by an unincorporated association or group. However, a notice of appeal may be filed in the name of an individual who is a member of the association or the group on its behalf.

No person or public body shall be added as a party to the hearing of the appeal unless, before the Zoning By-laws or the Official Plan amendment were adopted, the person or public body made oral submissions at a public meeting or written submissions to City Council or, in the opinion of the Ontario Municipal Board, there are reasonable grounds to add the person or public body as a party.

Should a Zoning By-law or the Official Plan Amendment be appealed, persons or public bodies who wish to receive notice of the Ontario Municipal Board hearing can receive such notice by submitting a written request to Andrew McCreight, Planner with the City.

Dated at the City of Ottawa on September 25, 2014.

From left, Manotick’s Kyle Narducci, Ava Falsetto of Ottawa South, and sisters Diana and Stephanie Cuffari, also of Manotick, participate in the Dravet Walk for the Kids on Sept. 20.

Dravet Walk raises more than $50K Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

News - It was a record-breaking weekend for the McKnight family.

The third-annual Dravet Walk for the Kids in Constance Bay raised more than $50,000 and donations are still coming in, said Mandy McKnight.

The McKnights have been a face for Dravet syndrome since local and national media outlets began reporting on Liam McKnight’s rare form of epilepsy that causes dozens of seizures per day.

His parents, Mandy and Dave, developed a novel way of administering medicinal marijuana to treat his seizures; they use oil in order to control dosage, rather than have the six-yearold smoke it. Media outlets picked up the story after news that the federal government restrictions rule out any methodology except smoking.

The increased attention saw more than 400 participants walk the field at the Constance and Buckham’s Bay Community Centre on Saturday, Sept. 20. One hundred and ninety-six of those walkers allied themselves with Liam’s Army.

“It was so amazing to meet you all and your friends and families. I would like to thank everyone who helped pull off such an amazing event for our kids, you are too many to list but

we couldn’t have done it without each and every one of you,” wrote Mandy in a Facebook post she emailed to the Review. “On a Liam’s Army personal note I want to say you guys are amazing and I am emotional even writing the words … All I can say is ‘we can feel the love.’

Thank you so much for supporting us always.”

Eleven other teams and families took part in the event, walking for someone close to them.

Eight-year-old Ava Falsetto of Ottawa South was surrounded by her family and friends, all holding signs reading “Go Ava Go.” Sean Bellefeuille, of Orléans, had a team of family supporters wearing “Sean’s Hope” Tshirts.

Six-year-old Rylan Anderson, in a purple Hero for Hope cape, was the face behind “Rylan’s Warriors.” The team travelled to the west end from Bourget, Ont. to take part in the Dravet Walk for the Kids event.

Funds from the event support Dravet.ca to raise awareness about Dravet syndrome, provide support and information for patients and their families, and fund research for improvements in medical diagnosis and better treatment options.

St. Michael’s Fitzroy School, where Liam is a Grade 1 student, also held a fundraising walk on Friday, Sept. 19, bringing in more than $1,000.

Avoiding emotional investing Community - When market volatility increases, investors’ emotions tend to rise.

Decision making is often greatly influenced by what is personally relevant, recent or dramatic. For many investors, they may vividly remember the stock market losses of 2008 but forget the gains of subsequent years. “The markets have taken investors on a roller coaster ride. They remember the dramatic drop but have paid less attention to the

sire to avoid market losses has driven many investors to move their money out of stocks and into cash or bonds. Investors often get caught up with following the crowd when investing. This can cause them to lose sight of their long-term goals and pull their money out of stocks at the wrong time, resulting in them sitting on the sidelines when the market rises.

The pain of loss is generally much stronger than the reward felt from a gain. A strong de-

Water works Michelle Dennis from the city’s Environmental Services demonstrates Ottawa’s water treatment system with a display at Kanata Expo 55+ event at the Mlacak Centre on Sept.

19. The event, which saw dozens of booths and hundreds of community members in attendance this year, is an annual opportunity for seniors to check out the services, groups and associations they may be interested in.

Throughout history countless urban landscapes have been altered by fire.

Unfortunately the City of Ottawa has seen the red heat of flame destroy individual homes, businesses, as well as complete neighbourhoods. The residents of Lebreton Flats, a once thriving working class community, saw their community razed to the ground on April 26, 1900. A common chimney fire in Hull was to blame for the fire that quickly turned into the most infamous fire in the history of Ottawa and Hull.

This is one of the many events in the City’s rich, but sometimes sombre history that a visitor can learn about while touring the ‘Ashes’ exhibit located in Gallery 112 at the City of Ottawa Archives.

‘Ashes’ presents the history of Ottawa fires beginning with the first written account

by Colonel John By. Colonel By’s progress report is dated October 26, 1827 where 127 pounds, 15 shillings is paid to extinguish a “fire in the woods in the immediate vicinity of the Public Buildings & Storehouses”, possibly as a result of a settler clearing land. ‘Ashes’ not only highlights the blazes that took place but also portrays those that risk their lives to save citizens and neighbourhoods. As the events of fire occurred, the City’s earliest volunteer firefighters had to develop new strategies and learn to use new equipment for fighting fires that threatened their local community.

It was not until 1874 that Ottawa’s volunteer fire brigades were disbanded and replaced with 16 paid full-time staff. Today, Ottawa Fire Services has 45 stations located throughout the City of Ottawa and a staff that combines both career and volunteer firefighters. Working in partnership with Ottawa Fire Services, Bytown Fire Brigade and Algonquin College – Applied Museum Studies Program, the City of Ottawa Archives presents Ashes: A City Shaped By Fire at Gallery 112, filled with artifacts and narratives that chronicles Ottawa’s dynamic history shaped by fire.

Metroland East Special Report

Sex offender supports on a shoestring Despite its success, the federal gov’t is pulling funding for Circles of Support, a program that helps high-risk sex offenders Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

T

he day the doors to David’s prison cell slid open and he was free after spending five and a half years behind bars for sex crimes against children, he was given a one-way ticket to Ottawa and placed on a bus.

Armed only with expired identification, a little cash earned inside prison and two boxes and a bag containing his few possessions, David arrived in the city with limited prospects.

The challenges he faced reintegrating in society were enormous. There would be hurdles in finding a job and stable housing, securing money and proper identification and abiding by strict supervision rules that kicked in upon his release.

“It had been almost six years,” said David, speaking under a pseudonym to protect his identity. “It was overwhelming. Scary, because you’re coming out into society and it’s open, it’s freedom.

“So it was difficult at first, but eventually you blend into it.”

The key to blending in, in part, proved to be two smiling women who met him at the bus stop as planned, – his first introduction to a surrogate network of friends and family who wanted to help him rebuild his life, and in the process, ensure he would not reoffend.

They are among more than 50 volunteers with Circles of Support and Accountability-Ottawa, one of 20 CoSA programs across Canada through which 500 volunteers are helping nearly 200 high-risk, highneeds sex offenders reintegrate in society after prison.

“At first I didn’t know what to do.

I have no social life,” said David.

“There was a bit of boredom, a bit of loneliness, but I was able to talk to CoSA about it.”

Each week, he met with his group of four volunteers to talk about his is-

While critics are alarmed by the federal government’s decision to cut off essential funding to a successful program that safeguards the community by helping higher-risk sex offenders stay victim-free after prison, offenders themselves say the program has been key to ensuring they do not commit more crimes.

JAIL BREAK A four-part series about recidivism in Ontario

They provided him with friendship and support, referring him to services in the city that could help him.

Positive social supports, experts say, combined with sexual-behaviour counselling and treatment, are key to ensuring former offenders such as David do not fall back into their old patterns, leading to more victims.

28 Kanata Kourier-Standard - Thursday, September 25, 2014

After almost a year with CoSA, David seemed to be doing well. He had stable housing at a halfway house for ex-inmates and was taking part in a counselling program there. He had found work.

But he was keeping secrets. David was unlawfully using a cellphone to access the Internet and messaging people. He became evasive with his volunteers.

“I was doing OK, but I didn’t tell

them what I had or what I was doing.

I didn’t want to get caught. I didn’t want to go back to jail,” he said.

“Because then we would’ve been obliged to report (to police),” recalled Susan Love, program co-coordinator of CoSA-Ottawa since 2002, the year it was officially established with funding from Correctional Service Canada.

“I thought I was going to get away with it, and then I went further,” David said.

His volunteers knew something was wrong. Suspicious halfway house staff found restricted items, such as his phone, in his room. That day, when David returned from work, he was arrested.

He was convicted for breaching his release conditions and spent eight months in a detention centre and another eight in prison.

“It was so disappointing,” said one of his volunteers, who requested anonymity to protect David’s identity. “I knew something was wrong, and he was very good at hiding.”

She and Love stuck by him, and CoSA agreed to support him again after his release in exchange for promising to abide by several extra conditions.

“I didn’t have to continue the relationship, but I thought, ‘Hate what they do, don’t hate the person,’” the volunteer said. “It’s unconditional.”

David is back living at the halfway house, working full time and meeting with his CoSA volunteers.

“It’s based on trust and through trust the guys open up more. It’s like a friendship, almost like a family that develops,” said Love, who currently oversees more than 50 trained volunteers helping 11 men in Ottawa – with two more on the way – many of whom have been convicted of multiple violent sexual offences against children or adults.

“The thing is we all have circles of support – family, friends, colleagues.

They often have nobody.”

Many high-risk sex offenders are considered such a high risk to reoffend they are kept locked up for the duration of their sentence.

The day they are released, many no longer fall under the jurisdiction of Correctional Service Canada, nor are they eligible for continued support, treatment or supervision.

Their success becomes doubtful, the reason why many voluntarily participate in CoSA, the only program of its kind.

But supporting and holding these

people accountable for their actions costs money, and funding cuts from the federal government are imminent.

FUNDING ISSUES

CoSA-Ottawa is now scrambling to find long-term funding, but may have to consider eventually closing its doors.

It is not alone. Seventeen of 20 CoSA programs across Canada will lose about $300,000 on March 31, 2015, from Correctional Service Canada – including $12,000 from CoSA-Ottawa.

The funding was originally slated for the chopping block on March 31, 2014, but was reinstated for another year after Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney asked the correctional service to reconsider.

Beyond next March, the department will continue to fund $325,000 annually to the Mennonite Central Committee of Ontario, which supports more than 50 Circles in southern Ontario.

While the cuts were made “following a rigorous budget and program analysis of the community based initiative,” CSC agrees the program is effective.

“Volunteers and partners such as CoSA actively engage community support which is essential to building safer communities,” federal corrections spokeswoman Melissa Hart said in an email.

When asked if the department will reconsider its decision, she said all CoSAs are encouraged “to actively seek out other sources of ongoing funding.”

The saving grace over the past five years has been a $7.5-million project through Public Safety Canada’s National Crime Prevention Centre researching the effectiveness of the program at 16 CoSA sites in 19 cities. The results have not yet been published.

Of that, Ottawa’s program has received $82,000 annually, which has also allowing it to expand its programming, help more participants, improve volunteer training and screening and hire a part-time assistant and casual bookkeeper.

With the contract set to expire on Sept. 30, CoSA-Ottawa is cutting everywhere it can – the bookkeeper has been let go, and the assistant will leave at the end of the month.

BY THE NUMBERS

Continued from page 28

The charity recently secured two $10,000 one-year grants from the Community Foundation of Ottawa and the Anglican Diocese of Ottawa.

“We’re definitely not out of the woods,” said Love.

The optimal annual cost to fund CoSA, and help cover expenses, such as rent and allow Love to work full time, is between $80,000 and $100,000.

But at the end of the month, CoSA will need to survive on $32,000, $10,000 of which can’t be used for salaries. That total will be further reduced by $12,000 at the end of March.

“This is certainly not sufficient to continue to operate at capacity, so I will likely have to be reduced to part time which is problematic with our increased numbers,” said Love, whose role includes providing oversight and intervention.

“And if I’m not able to do that because I’m so busy applying for grants and that sort of thing then that’s not safe.”

It’s too soon to tell whether the Ottawa Circles will have to be scaled back to some degree.

“So I don’t know if we’d have to tell some guys, ‘Let’s look at the highest risk to reoffend,’” said Love. “I don’t want to have to make that kind of judgment call.”

CoSAs have proven extremely successful in curbing reoffence rates.

A national study of two groups of 44 offenders from 2005 to 2007 revealed those who relied on CoSA after prison sexually reoffended 83 per cent less and violently reoffended 73 per cent less compared to the group that did not have Circles.

Of the 35 men who have participated in the Ottawa program since 2002, one reoffended sexually, though less severely compared to his previous crimes. Some, like David, have breached release conditions. “(That) is a small number, but when you think of the number of victims who have not been affected because of those 35 guys, that’s hard to quantify,” Love said.

The funding cuts are creating a new crisis in a system already plagued by problems, according to Dr. Paul Federoff, an Ottawa-based forensic psychiatrist who was involved in forming Canada’s second Circle in 1994.

The release that year of notorious pedophile Wray Budreo, who had dozens of convictions for molesting boys, prompted outrage, but

Impending cuts are already being felt at Circles of Support and Accountability-Ottawa, says CoSAOttawa program co-ordinator Susan Love, at left. The program must do without Adina Ilea, right, part-time CoSA data co-ordinator and program assistant for the past five years. also a positive grassroots response.

Because he had fully served his sentence, Budreo was being discharged homeless and without community supervision, which Federoff says still happens today.

Media attention was intense, and under the cover of darkness one Sunday night he was secretly driven from the prison chaplain’s home to Federoff’s office.

“We set up on that day one of the first CoSA Circles and I’m happy to say that person never reoffended,” said Federoff, a forensic psychiatrist and director of the Sexual Behaviours Clinic at the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre.

In another example, a sexual predator would wait at the bus station for children to get off the bus, then invite them to stay at his home, where he would assault them.

“He was released from the federal penitentiary and driven to the bus station where he was left,” said Federoff. “That’s how our system works now, with no supervision.”

Parole is designed to allow an offender to transition back into the community with some level of supervision.

But over time the Parole Board of Canada has become increasingly conservative to the point where a federal high-risk sex offender is kept imprisoned until his sentence is complete, said Federoff, who treats and provides therapy to 70 people a week, some of them former offenders who also receive support from CoSA-Ottawa.

“So they go to immediate free-

dom in the community with no supervision at all – probably the worst possible scenario that you could think of,” he said. “And that’s now become routine.”

Police agree there is an enormous gap in providing support to dangerous offenders who are deemed “too bad” to be released early.

“The people who are lower risk get all the resources and the people that were too dangerous to be released on parole get nothing,” said Staff Sgt. Dana Reynolds, head of the Ottawa police high risk offender unit, which is responsible for monitoring high-risk offenders, among other roles.

“It’s kind of like a strange loophole in the law.”

Parolees, as well as those offenders such as David whose postrelease supervision orders include a residency stipulation, have access to halfway houses, treatment and the support of a parole officer.

But there are many who are released free and clear without support and are going into homeless shelters as a result.

This sets them up for failure, said Reynolds, reason why, over the past year she has tried, though unsuccessfully, to secure grants in partnership with organizations such as the John Howard Society of Ottawa to pay for dedicated beds in halfway houses for this population.

Homeless shelters offer many temptations, such as drugs, and police say it can be difficult to track those who don’t have a fixed ad-

dress, adding to the already challenging job of monitoring those who relocate to Ottawa.

“Our best monitoring is a phone call every now and then, maybe a door knock here and there, but really it’s not like they’re being followed around or anything,” said Reynolds. “We don’t have the resources or the ability to do that.”

LEADING THE WAY

CoSA is making serious inroads in ensuring there are no more victims.

Canada is, in fact, internationally regarded as the founder of the CoSA model, which has been emulated by several nations, including the United Kingdom, the United States, the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain and Ireland. South Korea launched its program in August.

“This is a made-in-Canada solution,” said clinical and forensic psychological consultant Robin Wilson, who, as Correctional Service Canada’s first community based sex offender specialist hired in 1992, helped form the first Canadian Circle in 1994 around repeat child molester Charlie Taylor.

Though there was a 100 per cent chance Taylor would reoffend within seven years of his release, he never did in 12 years of freedom before his death in 2006 – similar to Budreo’s case. Their Circles are largely credited with those successes.

What the experts say

“The people who are lower risk get all the resources and the people that were too dangerous to be released on parole get nothing.”

“The Circles model is growing in the U.S. With each passing month we get more calls for further support for Circle startups.”

“Taking away support from the highest-risk people is the most dangerous thing you can do because they are the ones most likely to reoffend.”

“I also believe that not properly funding CoSA is shortsighted and will mean helping fewer offenders, which possibly means more victims.”

Continued from page 29

Positive inroads in the treatment of sex offenders were made in Canada in the late 1980s, followed by the introduction of training for parole officers in sexual offender risk management. This led to improved treatment, supervision and a reduction in reoffence rates, Wilson said.

But experts have watched over the years as program delivery officers have been replacing psychologists in the treatment of incarcerated sex offenders, who, Wilson said, are functionally equivalent to guards.

In response, Correctional Service Canada spokeswoman Véronique Rioux said the department’s programs differ from counselling and psychotherapy and are delivered by “specifically trained” correctional programs officers to groups of inmates, serving as structured interventions that target factors linked to criminal behaviour.

with a psychologist and two facilitators every day for several hours over the course of eight months.

But when he was sent back to jail for breaching his conditions he could only see the psychologist three times in eight months because other higher-needs prisoners came first.

“Mine wasn’t a high need,” he said, but added while he wanted to see a specialist every two weeks, there were only a handful of psychologists for all 600 inmates.

“I knew I’d done something wrong and I wanted to know where I went wrong,” David said.

Three visits in eight months is not sexual offender treatment, according to Wilson.

“That would be like taking an aspirin three times over the course of a month and thinking that it’s going to deal with your (chronic) headache,” he said, adding that such inconsistent support is unlikely to manage the problem long term or lead to lasting change.

In addition, Wilson said there has been a push in the last five to seven years for prisons to provide less specialized programming to a larger swath of inmates.

“But in a generic program there will be aspects that don’t apply to one group or more, such as sex offenders,” Wilson said.

Federoff also notes that federal prisons no longer offer treatment for low-risk sex offenders – which the correctional service confirmed was stopped in 2010 based on research showing they benefit more from other interventions than correctional programs.

Meanwhile, those at a high risk to

Studies reveal that 15 per cent of sex offenders will sexually reoffend within five years after getting out of prison. Interesting new research shows the likelihood of even highrisk offenders reoffending drops every year they don’t commit another crime, Federoff said.

CoSA plays an important role in ensuring former offenders live crimefree, which caught the attention of several American states, where Wilson is providing training and technical assistance in the creation of Circle programs.

“The Circles model is growing in the U.S. With each passing month we get more calls for further support for Circle startups,” said Wilson, who also served as chief psychologist for the correctional service’s Ontario region from 2001 to 2005. “Yet, in Canada, where it is our idea in the first place and where we seem to have done quite well with it, we’re continually fighting with the government for continued existence funding.”

While the U.S. is embracing CoSA and other community based solutions, Canada is moving away from rehabilitation to an expensive tough-on-crime model that focuses on incarceration, tougher sentencing and elimination of statutory release, said Wilson.

“Right-wing people in the United States are advising the federal government in Canada, ‘Don’t go that route. We went that route. It cost us a ton of money. It’s not working,’” he said, adding that research shows more punishment in most cases results in more crime.

These programs are based on cognitive-behavioural strategies and skills that teach participants to learn how to deal with those risk factors that led them to offending, Rioux said, noting the department also employs teams of mental-health professionals, including nurses, psychologists and social workers, to work alongside correctional staff.

While behind bars, David joined a group of sex offenders who met daily

reoffend often cannot access sex-offender treatment until the tail end of their sentence, Federoff said.

“I think prisons are excellent for isolating people who are dangerous and for punishing, but they are terrible for treatment,” he said.

Community based treatment, such as that offered through Federoff’s outpatient clinic at the Royal, also helps reduce reoffending. Studies show those offenders who complete treatment will reoffend about 40 per cent less than those who haven’t.

Some victims may resent offenders getting such support since not enough is spent on victim services, said Steve Sullivan, executive director of Ottawa Victim Services, but he understands the important role CoSA plays in protecting more people.

“I also believe that not properly funding CoSA is short-sighted and will mean helping fewer offenders, which possibly means more victims,” he said. “So, from a policy perspective, even if some victims are opposed, the federal government should be funding programs that prevent victims.”

David, who is grateful for his second chance, credits CoSA and halfway house staff with helping him refresh the coping strategies and other tools he learned in prison.

“I had dysfunctional relationships in the past and I think I would have had those again if I didn’t have the support I did,” he said. “I would have got into another relationship and back into drugs and then maybe, perhaps – that’s the cycle – I end up eventually reoffending.”

Despite breaching his conditions and going back to prison, he says he

“The thing is we all have circles of support – family, friends, colleagues. They often have nobody.”

SUSAN LOVE, COSA-OTTAWA

knows the value of having people in his life with whom he can share his thoughts and feelings – a new skill he learned in prison.

“I know I didn’t have them before and I offended, and the chances would have been higher for me of reoffending again if I didn’t have that, I think,” he said.

That is why, without CoSA, or faced with a scaled-back version of the program, the community should be very concerned, Federoff said.

“I think that society should look forward to more offences,” he said.

“Taking away support from the highest-risk people is the most dangerous thing you can do because they are the ones most likely to reoffend.”

Tips for end-of-life planning Comunity - Recent research shows that only 9 per cent of Canadians have pre-planned their funeral -- and in addition, over 65 per cent of us do not have insurance to cover those costs. Here are some tips for end-of-life planning to give you and your family more peace-of-mind: Sit down and have a discussion with your family As hard as it may be to discuss, death is inevitable. Sit down with your family and consider your options and preferences. Putting this off

will only leave these hard decisions to your family in a time of need.

Ensure you have the funds Planning ahead for funeral costs can save family members significant financial stress when dealing with a loved oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passing. Do some research and find out what funerals typically cost and compare this with your expectations.

Budgeting ahead of time ensures that your family members are not left with a huge bill during a time of grieving.

Make sure you have ad-

equate life insurance Life insurance is a good first step for planning ahead and saving money, but only one-third of individuals have insurance to cover the cost of their funeral. In addition to funds, some packages even offer 24 hour funeral planning and concierges service, which can offer significant support to your family in a time of need.

Candidate vows to pursue election donation changes Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Corporate and union donations to election campaigns would be banned in the next Ottawa municipal election, if a city council candidate in Rideau-Rockcliffe gets his way.

Tobi Nussbaum, who is running against six candidates, including incumbent Coun. Peter Clark, said he would table a motion to ban such

ottawa

donations within 100 days of taking office, if he is elected on Oct. 27.

Although municipal candidates are allowed to accept donations of up to $750 from corporations and unions, many voters and community groups have expressed concern that the donations exert undue influence over politicians. The rules also allow for “double dipping” – corporate and union executives can donate on behalf of the company or union and

again as individuals. Each contributor can donate up to $5,000 to two or more candidates running for a seat in the same council.

In the past, other city councillors, most notably former Bay Coun. Alex Cullen, have brought forward attempts to ask the province to amend the Municipal Elections Act to ban corporate and union donations to municipal election campaigns. Many candidates across the city have vowed

not to accept such donations.

Nussbaum is promoting a platform that would see him request the same thing, within 100 days of taking office on Dec. 1, if he is elected.

The Ontario government approved a similar request to amend the campaign donation rules for the City of Toronto in 2009. Corporate and union donations are not permitted for provincial or federal campaigns.

Nussbaum also wants to reinstate

the original amount the city made available for individuals who donate to municipal campaign, which was reduced last year in a decision of city council.

Nussbaum would also like to see campaign contribution information made available in a searchable, electronic format. That information is currently available on the city’s website as images of scanned documents.

Communication

Quality Work

Your lawyer also runs a business

Your lawyer should be knowledgeable and professional and provide a quality service. Talk to your friends, neighbors and associates about their experiences with their lawyer. Many lawyers will meet for an initial consultation at no-charge. Meet and make an assessment before you retain your lawyer.

You should expect your lawyer to be responsive to your communications. Your lawyer should promptly return phone calls and emails, or arrange for a time to meet where appropriate.

This means that fees are charged to you cover off the costs of operating the business, paying rent and assistants and providing a fair return for the lawyer. Your lawyer should have an open and frank discussion with you regarding fees and disbursements at the time of engagement. While it is not always possible to provide certainty regarding the fees that will be charged, your lawyer should be able to provide to you an estimate or range based upon that lawyer’s experience in similar matters.

A signal characteristic of the relationship between a client and lawyer is that of trust. A lawyer is obliged to act on your behalf with complete fairness, honor, honesty, loyalty, and fidelity.

Above all other qualities, you should expect, and obtain, full and complete trust in your lawyer.

Rideau River path plan highlights speed conflicts laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - A plan to pave a path for cyclists and pedestrians along the Rideau River in Old Ottawa East is highlighting tensions between the two categories of pathway users.

A group of residents in Old Ottawa East have long lobbied for a gravel-surfaced “nature trail” along

the river, but at a recent community association meeting, some people were frustrated to learn city staff is proposing the route be paved.

The route, which the city plans to complete before 2019 and would run from Belmont Street to the University of Ottawa’s Lees Campus and cycling connections there.

While a nature trail would encourage slow meandering along the river,

residents said, a paved route could encourage cyclists to speed down the path.

Those concerns were reflected by Capital Coun. David Chernushenko, who brought up the issue of pathway conflicts a week prior, during a transportation committee update on the city’s pedestrian plan.

During that update, Chernushenko and other councillors suggested it

might be time to look at speed limits for cyclist on paths, or other mechanisms to reduce the number of collisions or close calls between cyclists and pedestrians.

City staffer Kornel Musci said there have been discussions about making paths wider than the usual three metres to accommodate more users in some cases.

“What we have here is potentially

R0012850426-0918

Laura Mueller

a clashing of visions,” Chernushenko told Old Ottawa East Community Association members on Sept. 9.

In the case of the Rideau River western pathway, the councillor said he supports the plan to pave the route because it is part of the city’s planned transportation network. Funding for the project is tied to its utility as a route for cyclists, Chernushenko said.

“Funding hinges on this,” he said of the paved surface. Staff has given a “pretty strong message” that the path cannot be surfaced with stone dust, Chernushenko said.

Small gestures, heavy words on anniversary of bus-train crash that killed six Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Sept. 18, 2013 was one of the darkest days of her life, transit commission chairwoman Diane Deans said as the city marked one year since a bus-train collision that killed six people.

City officials shared remarks in honour of the six deceased during a transit commission meeting on Sept. 17.

The fatal crash happened at 8:48 a.m. on Sept. 18 last year, when more than 90 people were riding the Route 76 bus from Barrhaven heading into Ottawa.

The Transportation Safety Board is still investigating the cause of the crash, which saw the double-decker bus

plow through a flashing level crossing at a level rail crossing near Woodroffe Road and the Fallowfield Transitway station and collide with a westbound Via Rail passenger train Number 51 headed to Toronto.

“On that fatal day, six of our neighbours left their homes as they did every day, never to return,” said Mayor Jim Watson. “There is nothing we can ever do to make up for what happened.”

The mayor read the names of the deceased: Public Works engineer Michael Bleakney, 57; Library and Archives Canada employee Karen Krzyzewski, 53; IBM employee Rob More, 35; Carleton University students Kyle Nash and Connor Boyd, both 21; and Dave Woodard, 45, the bus driver.

Another 33 people were injured.

Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder said the crash was “deeply personal” to her community, as all but one of the almost 100 passengers on board the bus that day were from Barrhaven.

“There has never been, to my recollection ... anything that has ever made the com-

munity come together and grieve every,” she said. “Anyone I talk to, wherever I go, people know someone who was on the 76.”

Deans’ voice trembled as she delivered remarks to the transit commission.

“I will never forget the sadness and grief that swept through the city,” she said.

The councillors and mayor remarked on how the city’s citizens showed compassion and resilience in the wake of last year’s tragedy.

“My hope is that the most prominent memories are not of grief, but of kindness and strength,” Deans said.

After consultation with the victims’ families, the city decided on a low-key recognition of the fateful anniversary. No event was held, but the flags at city hall were lowered to half mast.

“We are doing what the families want,” Harder said.

Craig Watson, president of the local transit workers’ union, said some OC Transpo employees wore shorts and Woodard’s favourite colour, green, to honour their fallen colleague on Sept. 18.

Drivers also marked a moment of silence at 8:48 a.m. by pulling their buses to the side of the road if it was safe to do so, Watson said.

Deans is also working with the families to decide on a permanent memorial.

OC Transpo retired Route 76’s number on Aug. 29 and replaced it with Route 72.

the crash, residents had been reporting an increase in railcrossing signal malfunctions.

Rail signal issues have not been identified as a potential contributor to the bus-train crash, according to the Transportation Safety Board.

SAFETY CHANGES

Shortly after the collision last year the city reduced the speed limit on the Transitway from 60 to 50 kilometres per hour through the rail crossing.

Sign clutter and trees and shrubs were cleared away from the area around the crossing and a flashing warning light was added to remind bus drivers of the crossing 210 metres in advance in the northbound direction.

Throughout the year since

Harder has said that malfunctions have been ongoing since the signal upgrades were approved in 2012, but residents are more sensitive to the signal issues after the crash.

The malfunctions resulted in the lights flashing and gates lowering when a train is not

approaching – something Via calls “failsafe mode.”

The Crown Corporation apologized for the issues earlier this year and set out to spend $3.5 million to fix the issues.

Those include hydro-line interference, salt contamination in the tracks, electrical and mechanical issues and operational problems when trains stop on the tracks between signals.

All the upgrades are expected to be completed by next spring. Rail signal issues have not been identified as a potential contributor to the bus-train crash, according to the Transportation Safety Board.

Flocking to the Glebe Artist Roy Brash had livestock company at the Glebe Fine Art Show on Sept. 20, as the subject of his work The Ninety-Nine look on. Based on the Parable of the Lost Sheep, Brash’s painting turns the viewer’s attention not to the subject of the parable, but the flock that was left behind.

Community takes to the streets to fight cancer Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - Allison McBrine started walking as part of the Weekend to End Women’s Cancers nearly seven years ago.

McBrine said when she first started walking she didn’t know anyone who had cancer and by the second year she knew of a friend of a friend. And then later she was walking for her mother.

Now McBrine serves on the board for the Epic Walk – a partnership between the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation, the Queensway Carleton Hospital Foundation and Bruyère Foundation – that raises money for cancer research.

Last year was the inaugural walk and Allison walked for her mother; the team was called Alice’s Angels.

This year, she gathered some friends, so now they

are called Avenging Angels and they are attempting to raise $10,000.

The Epic Walk, which will kick off in Accora Village on Sept. 27 at 9 a.m., raised $256,000 last year. This year organizers are hoping for $300,000.

Valerie Rochon, Carp resident and Avenging Angels team member, said there is no such thing as six degrees of separation when it comes to cancer – everyone has been touched by it.

“I have three immediate family members who have experienced it,” she said.

Because the team is made up of a mix of members, the team decided on a series of fundraising events to help each member reach the $1,000 pledge goal.

The first event was a glamour day in April, the next one was a Barrhaven Fun Day held this summer in the church parking lot of

Berrigan Drive and Greenbank Road.

The last event was Networking for the Cure held at the Ottawa Regional Cancer Survivorship Centre at on Alta Vista Drive The team managed to raise $1,900 and $1,000 of that was from Mikhael Absi, co-owner of Mucho Burrito in Barrhaven, Baseline and Trainyards.

“We could not make a significant impact without the support of community leaders,” Rochon said.

Funds raised from the Epic Walk will be invested in local cancer care including equipment and programming at the Ottawa Regional Cancer Centre, Queensway Carleton and Bruyère hospitals.

The route covers 30 kilometres, from Accora Village to the Maplesoft Cancer Survivorship Centre. There will be pit stops at every five kilometres along the Ottawa River Parkway. There will

There are also volunteers on bikes and two cube vans.

“A lot of people want to donate but are afraid of the

walk part, but there’s lots of help available,” McBrine said.

Every penny raised will go to the cause, she said.

The Avenging Angels team will stop at Immaculata

Legion of runners Tens of thousands of runners take over Ottawa streets on Sept. 21 during the seventh-annual Canada Army Run. Roads were closed in parts of Ottawa and Gatineau – including the John A. Macdonald Parkway – as the runners participated in a fivekilometre run and a half-marathon. Funds raised through the Canada Army Run support Soldier On and the Military Families Fund. This year saw a record 25,000 runners participate.

A handful of Kanata North residents worked all day to construct their new community garden. A total of 26 boxes will now rest along a hydro corridor, off Klondike Road. A Lowertown resident would like community gardens become a campaign priority for Rideau-Vanier.

Community gardens matter: Lowertown resident Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - One Lowertown resident believes gardening can truly grow better communities.

John Woodhouse is taking this belief and has turned it into something he feels needs to become an election priority for the city.

“I want to show that it’s important,” Woodhouse said.

His goal is to have every community association and community group in RideauVanier Ward to support his cause and ask the candidates to make a campaign promise of making community gardens a priority.

In a letter addressed to all community associations in Rideau-Vanier, Woodhouse

writes: “Community gardens are very important to our neighbourhoods, and should be brought to the attention of the prospective candidates in our ward. While all green spaces such as parks and recreation areas are important, community gardens and flower beds play a very special role.”

Woodhouse acknowledges that there are already a number of community gardens in the area already, but what he would like to see is the city take an active role in helping make new gardens sprout up quicker.

“It took nine years to get the garden by my house,” Woodhouse said. “Nine years. That’s a long time.”

He said he hopes this ini-

52 Kanata Kourier-Standard - Thursday, September 25, 2014

tiative will help speed up that process, by showing their city councillor that gardens and flower beds matter to the community.

So far Woodhouse has attended the Lowertown Community Association, the Vanier Community Association and Vanier Beautification to get support and response to his letter.

“I want to get feedback and what is desired from every community,” he said.

Once he receives feedback, he will send the letter to each candidate, he said, to ask them to see this issue as an election issue.

News - Three people have been forced to find another place to stay after fire recently broke out in the basement of their Hunt Club home.

An Ottawa fire investigator believes the cause of the Sept.

19 fire is electrical in nature, and he planned to return to 114 Allanford Ave, near Conroy Road and Lorry Greenberg Drive, last week for a closer look. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fire started in the basement service room where the furnace, the hot water tank and all that would be,â&#x20AC;? said Capt.

Marc Messier, fire department spokesman.

Damage to the home is estimated at $300,000, and $75,000 in loss of contents.

Within minutes of arriving at the scene at 6:42 p.m., firefighters quickly upgraded the situation to a second-alarm fire and called for backup in the battle against heavy smoke and flames.

About 50 firefighters from at least 10 fire halls worked to bring the blaze under control by 7:36 p.m. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They called for extra support once they realized how much heavy fire involvement there was,â&#x20AC;? said Messier. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In fact, at one point they called for an evacuation of (firefighters from)

A beautiful long haired brilliant coloured Calico lady.

She is hungry for a loving lap and a heart. She is elegant, lovable, gentle and gets along with cats... she would love to have a friend to pass the days and have a chat.

First few minutes she will look aloof but once you lift her into your arms and she realizes you love her she will relax and start purring. A definite winner in the affection department.

Largest photo club in Canada celebrates milestone anniversary Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News - As an avid amateur photographer, Perpetua Quigley never leaves home without her sneakers and camera gear so as to always be prepared to capture spontaneous moments.

“I just make sure that I’m ready,” said the chairwoman of the RA Photo Club, which operates at the RA Centre on Riverside Drive.

In the event she doesn’t have her high-tech Nikon camera in hand, she won’t hesitate to pull out her cellphone and start snapping away.

“I always say now that my camera has a phone rather than my phone has a camera,” the Kanata resident said.

Her enthusiasm for her hobby and her desire

to improve her craft prompted her about four years ago to join the RA Photo Club, which is now celebrating its 75th anniversary.

“It’s very much a milestone,” Quigley said of the landmark year.

To celebrate the club’s history, earlier this month members published a souvenir magazine chock full of stories and photos chronicling the club’s development over the years.

An annual open house is also planned for Sept. 30, which the public is welcome to attend from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. to meet with club members, tour the premises and view a display of members’ photographs.

Since joining the 300-member club, which is the largest photo club of its kind in Canada, Quigley has taken part in field trips, weekly

programming sessions and special workshops with members, who come from as far away as Arnprior.

The club also hosts group outings, such as photographic scavenger hunts during which participants must find photos in several differ-

ent categories.

“The scavenger hunts teach you to see,” said Quigley. “I think that’s what photography does, it teaches you to see, and peel back … layers to everyday images.”

present photo club members at the RA Centre on Nov. 18.

Members are also looking ahead to Canada’s 150th birthday in 2017, and will host the Camera Club of Canada conference to coincide with celebrations in Ottawa.

Over the coming year, the club will commemorate its past, but also continue to develop and offer a lineup of programs that reflect emerging photographic trends and technology.

One such trend members are looking to touch on is the popular use of Instagram, an online photo- and video-sharing website that allows users to apply various digital filters to photographs. The application also has a social-networking aspect to it.

“That is definitely a very popular style,” Quigley said, adding that by keeping up with technological changes, club members have an opportunity learn and develop their trade or interest.

“You always want to be growing.”

Other developments include cellphone photography.

“I use that for spontaneous moments and opportunities, and I have used those photos for submissions to competitions, as well,” said Quigley, adding that the club also offers in-house competitions as well as joint competitions with other organizations.

The advent of high-resolution cellphone cameras has allowed more people to take high-qual-

ity images of special moments in time.

“All the elements are still there – composition, lighting – because if I’m not carrying my (digital) SLR and my telephoto (lens) the moment is here,” said Quigley.

“And so to me the best camera is the one that you have, and whether that is your cellphone, whether that’s a small pointand-shoot or whether it’s a DLSR, it’s what you’ve got.”

The RA Photo Club, located at the non-profit RA Centre at 2451 Riverside Dr., meets every Tuesday, from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m.

Sports - The Lasers had more to contend with than the Gloucester Rangers on Sept. 18, having lost their head coach two days earlier.

The Lasers rocky start to the season got rockier after head coach Adam Dewan decided to part ways with the team over a difference of opinion with the team’s administration, said the Lasers general manager Jeff Hawkins.

“He didn’t see things the same way as the rest of us and wanted to do things on a different scale, and so away he went,” said Hawkins.

There was “nothing nasty,” involved, he said.

That left the Lasers without a head coach for the game on Sept. 18, with assistant coach Darcy Findlay filling in as a temporary replacement.

“It’s obviously a difficult week for the boys,” said Findlay, “but at the same time, you only worry about the things you can control.”

Findlay said he enjoyed his game as head coach, but his stint at the top would be short.

The team has a new head coach named Greg Robertson, said Hawkins.

“Greg has got a wealth of experience,” he said, adding Robertson has experience coaching almost every level of hockey.

“I think there is no question that he is going to be great for teaching a lot of our young kids how to play the game,” said Hawkins.

Robertson will undoubtedly look to turn around the Lasers record, which includes nine losses and one win.

Gregg Kennedy Head Coach Gregg Kennedy was announced as the new head coach of the Kanata Lasers.

With years of minor hockey experience as well as experience coaching at the university level, Kennedy will bring a wealth of knowledge to the team and to the players. With high hopes, we welcome Gregg to the team and look forward to our upcoming games.

But the number of wins and losses don’t tell the whole story, said Findlay after the Lasers loss to the Gloucester Rangers on Sept. 18. That was certainly true of the Lasers game against the Rangers, where Kanata led most of the game, but lost in a tie-breaking shootout.

“I think they did well,” said Findlay after the loss.

“We were in the game, we were never behind. We shot ourselves in the foot a couple times and it cost us a goal here and there, but at the same time we battled, and if we clean up those little mistakes, we are going to be fine,” he said.

Most of the Lasers games have played out in a similar fashion, he said, with the exception of a 5-0 loss to Cornwall, and a 4-1 win against Cumberland.

“They have all been one goal games for the most part,” he said. “We’ve been in them, it’s just we haven’t got that lucky bounce, or little mistakes have cost us, (so) we need to clean up the little mistakes, that’s all.”

The team is made up of many young players this year, many of whom have never played in the Canadian Junior Hockey League.

“With repetitions and practice and guys getting more comfortable and more ice time, it’s going to get better all-around and they are going to become more confident in the game,” said Findlay.

Despite the loss, Findlay is optimistic about the team’s future.

“It’s only going to go up for here, for sure, for this organization,” he said.

Look for next week’s story about the Lasers new head coach.

Tuesday was the day to undertake the ritual of ironing

I

MARY COOK Memories tached to it, which held gas, and that heated the iron. No siree, Mother wasn’t going to take a chance on one of those new-fangled contraptions.

As much as she hated the irons she used on the farm, at least they were safe. She had enough to worry about with the coal oil lamps, which she always treated with great respect.

The clothes would have been taken off the line late day on Monday, and neatly folded in at least two hampers. Washing for seven people meant there would always be plenty of laundry.

And of course, the clothes had to be folded and piled in order. Heaven forbid that the sparkling white tea towels should ever come in contact with something of a darker colour. Not because the colours would run, but simply because that’s the way it was done back then. Like colours together, and the whites separate from everything else.

Mother would have the kitchen ready for the ironing before we headed out

for school. Two straightbacked chairs would hold what passed for an ironing board. It was nothing fancy like the ones you could buy at Scott’s hardware -- ones that sprung up and locked in place. No this ironing board was a smoothed off piece of lumber, wrapped in many layers of well-used flannelette sheets, and topped with one or two opened-up white flour bags, well bleached beforehand of course. It was set on the backs of the two kitchen chairs, and then everything was ready for what would take the better part of Mother’s Tuesday.

Of course, much of the laundry had to be dampened.

So Mother brought a small basin of water to the ironing board, and dipping her hand into the water, she sprinkled each piece royally and then rolled it into a tight sausage shape.

These were the pieces of clothing that had to have the wrinkles ironed out, and there they sat like little logs until ready to be ironed.

These damped pieces

would be hankies, the dress shirts Father and the brothers wore to church, the little Peter Pan collars that adorned so many of our dresses in those Depression years, bringing a bit of relief to our very plain wardrobe, and the hand-embroidered pillow cases.

Even the hems of the flour-bag sheets would be ironed.

When we went off to school, Mother would already be bent over the ironing board.

At one end of the board was a saucer, where Mother kept a block of wax, and occasionally I would see her pass the hot iron over this wax. But I never knew the purpose of the exercise. All I knew was it was a part of that Tuesday’s ritual.

When we came home R0572275076

t never failed. Every Tuesday morning, Mother lamented all through breakfast about the job ahead. The washing had been done the day before: on Monday.

It mattered not if it had hailed, snowed, rained, or the wind blew at a gale force, Monday was wash day, and that’s all there was to it. And that made Tuesday the day to do the ironing, and it was the one household chore Mother hated with a passion. It had little to do with the job itself, it had everything to do with the irons she had to use.

These were clunky, heavy lumps of iron, oval shaped, and to use them there was a clamped handle that fitted over the base, and the clamp, when released hugged the iron, making it secure and ready to use. The handle had to be separate, because there were always at least three bases sitting on the stove getting hot.

On Monday night, the iron bases were put right on the front burner of the Findlay Oval, so that they could absorb as much heat off the stove as possible, ready for the morning ironing.

Mother had seen the latest in irons through the kitchen door at a neighbour’s house on the next line, but had no intention of ever getting something she was sure could blow up the old log house as quick as a wink if it took the notion. It was an iron with a container at-

from school on ironing day, you could still smell the sweet scent of freshly ironed clothes. The board would be gone from the backs of the two chairs, and tucked behind the door out in the summer kitchen, where it would stay until the next Tuesday.

On the bake table, would be the neat stack of freshly ironed tea towels, the boys and Father’s shirts neatly folded, the pillow slips, and anything else that needed to have one of those heavy irons passed over it.

And hanging on the back of the kitchen door would be spanking clean aprons at the ready.

The iron bases would be sitting on tin pie plates cooling off so that they could be put away until needed again.

Mother would be dead

tired that night, having stood most of the day over the ironing board. My sister Audrey would be given the job of putting all the clothes away, and when I helped her, I couldn’t resist pressing my nose against the clean pillow slips, capturing that fresh smell of the outdoors.

And I would wonder, but never dare to ask, why we didn’t change our bedding on Tuesdays instead of on Saturdays, by which time that wonderful scent of freshly ironed linens would be gone.

News - The Ottawa Humane Society auxiliary has been saving up members’ crafts and baked goods to help out their four-legged friends.

The group of 50 women, who meet monthly to discuss fundraising ideas and volunteer for Ottawa’s largest shelter, will hold a bazaar on Sept. 27 to raise money for the care of the animals.

The West Hunt Club Road shelter provides

care for 11,000 abandoned animals annually.

Frances Manktelow, said the group held a garage sale this summer, with donated items from the community and managed to raise $2,000. Some of that overstock will find its way to the bazaar at the shelter.

“There were some items like china, jewelry and good cutlery that were too good for the garage sale, so we will be setting up tables with that stuff,” she said.

Aside from donated items, the volunteers have been busy sewing and baking to provide items for the annual bazaar. The auxiliary craft

Watson said he’d like to see the necessary research and public consultation done within the first year of the term, which starts on Dec. 1 after a new city council is elected Oct. 27.

have a library that is more befitting of the 21st-century,” Watson said.

“I’ve always thought we needed a new library, but it was whether we could afford it on our own,” Watson said.

“I think now that the library is thinking about a potential public-private partnership, it’s an opportunity for us to partner with someone or a group of organizations to come up with a plan we can afford.”

Watson said he supports the library board’s recent move to seek a consultant to draft a framework and business case for what the library would look for in a partnership.

“We know there are lots of individuals who are interested, we just want to make sure that we have a process so that it’s not going to derail as a result of not thinking everything through,” he said.

But if the right partnership isn’t found, it doesn’t necessarily mean a new main library is off the table, Watson said.

“I don’t want to draw a map, but generally the central downtown core is more than just the old Centretown,” Watson said. “When you look around where the library is, there are not a lot of people that live in that area, when you think of it ... So I think we have to broaden it out from just the downtown core to keep it in the central core of the city. That’s part of the discussion we’re going to have to have with the public.”

Watson said the city has land and “some financial resources” it could bring to a potential partnership to build a new central library.

Although no budget has been identified for the work, Watson said it would be a matter of shifting priorities in the city’s $350 million to $500 million annual capital works budget.

In terms of location, Watson said it is essential to locate a central library in the city’s core, close to transit.

Although he wouldn’t define boundaries of what he’d consider as the “core,” Watson did disqualify one neighbourhood: his former constituency, the Glebe.

Watson said a recent tour of the Main Library convinced him that the space was insufficient and inaccessible, especially for people with mobility difficulties. The library received a report earlier this summer that shows between $40 million and $70 million in repairs and upgrades are needed to make the current Metcalfe Street branch viable. Library board chairwoman Coun. Jan Harder said that cost was too high and led the charge to ask the board to look towards a partnership to build a new library.

United Way to focus on people, lives changed “We need good schools, arts and other organizations to be supported,” Allen said.

“But what we are trying to do is make it clear to donors the goals we have and the journey we have.”

In an effort to fight this issue, Allen said he thinks keeping the focus on the people and organizations the United Way helps will appeal to its donors.

Giving credit to recent fundraising success stories such as the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, Allen added that although that particular initiative has been a widely popular for that particular cause, it’s not necessarily the right way for the United Way to gain support.

“We want our donors to be connected deeply to the cause,” he said. “We feel we can do that with our campaign.”

News - The United Way Ottawa has taken a step back from big dollar figures to focus on what it feels matters most: the lives it helps change.

The organization launched its annual campaign on Sept.

18 and instead of announcing a dollar amount, the organization said it wants the focus to be on the number of people those donations can help.

This year, the grand total is 61,500 lives -- 1,500 more than the organization managed to help last year and 15,000 less than its original goal announced during last year’s campaign.

Executive director Michael Allen said this number is achievable and can help make change happen in this city.

“If we meet our goal, we will be able to change lives,” Allen said.

Looking at the goal in a dollar amount, the organization needs to raise $17.2 million to make this change happen -$3 million less than last year’s

This year the face of the campaign will be Mark Sutcliffe and Yaprak Baltacıo lu, who will be encouraging Ottawa residents to give back to their community.

“Every one of us has the ability to change someone’s life,” said Sutcliffe.

“We’re challenging Ottawa to think of the man who lives on the street, the child who has nowhere to go after school, the woman with a disability who needs help finding work – and to put their dollars to work where they are needed most and where they will have the greatest impact.”

Donors can contribute through payroll deductions or online giving, corporate gifts and through special fundraising events.

68 Kanata Kourier-Standard - Thursday, September 25, 2014

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News - Tenants at an Ottawa Community Housing apartment complex are sounding the alarm about what they say is poor air quality in their units that is contributing to throat and eye irritations.

“The dust blowing into my face going into my eyes – that’s no good,” said Sheila Searles, a longtime tenant of 2100 Russell Rd., a four-storey apartment building in Elmvale Acres.

Dust and other noticeable particles are blowing into her apartment unit through vents in her bathroom and kitchenette, she said, and settling in a layer on her towels, floors, the kitchen counter, and the dining and coffee tables.

Since June, she says her eyes have become more agitated, and she wakes up in the middle night coughing. The sand-like particles are also getting into the food she prepares.

“I made a sandwich, the phone rang and I was in here talking on the phone ... and when I bit into it, (and was) eating it, it was sandy,” the senior citizen said. “I left it on a plate in the kitchen on the counter and it was very sandy.”

She has spoken to other residents in the building who are equally concerned, and has approached the property manager about the issue. She says she has yet to hear back, and says other residents have also come up against a brick wall.

In the meantime, she frequently cleans her apartment to

stay on top of the problem, but she is worried about her health.

“I have become a slave to this house all the time,” said Searles, who has lived in the apartment complex for 17 years. “And I’m not feeling very, very well. It’s getting me down.”

Her bathroom is also covered in dust and sand-like particles, she said.

“When I take my towel to wipe my face, I shake it and there’s still grit on it,” she said.

“And I never feel clean anymore when I have to use a towel like that.”

In response, Stephane Giguère, chief executive officer of Ottawa Community Housing, agreed any grit or particles entering individual units are likely coming from the bathroom and kitchen vents.

But the cleanliness of these vents, which lead outdoors, and their metal covers in the units are the responsibility of tenants, he said.

“We always encourage each and every tenant on a monthly basis to vacuum those,” he said.

“If you don’t take the grate out and vacuum it, you will get an accumulation of dust there and that dust will actually prevent a proper air flow.”

The unit vents feature a low velocity negative-pressure system that forces air from the unit to the outside, he said, adding that minor accumulation of particles can build up in the ducts over time, especially nearest the grates in the units.

Rosalie Blondin, who lives down the hall from Searles, said air quality in her apartment unit

Tenants in the building say the thick dust and sediment are impacting their air quality and their health. Their landlord says that cleanliness of these ducts is the responsibility of tenants. has become so poor in the last two years that she has come to rely on puffers to soother her cough.

“My lungs are not the same either,” said Blondin, who has

lived in the building for 18 years. “A lot of people are very sick with their lungs since they moved in here.”

Are you interested in getting information about being a foster parent or adopting a child through fostering?

News - A serious respiratory infection making the rounds in the United States and in other parts of Canada has arrived in Ottawa.

The Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario confirmed last week it admitted four children with confirmed cases of enterovirus D68, a respiratory virus infection. The patients, who did not require treatment at the hospital’s intensive-care unit, have since recovered and returned home.

The hospital is expecting more children will seek treatment in the coming weeks.

“We continue to monitor the situation closely and are prepared to respond as we need to do every year during peak viral and influenza season,” Eva Schacherl, CHEO spokeswoman, said in a statement released last week.

Treatment of this strain of virus is the same as for other respiratory viruses that cause the common cold, and there are no specific medications to treat it, she said.

While some children may not experience symptoms, others with the EV-D68 infection will show mild signs, such as fever, runny nose and cough.

“You will not be able to tell the difference between it and a regular cold,” Schacherl wrote.

“Children, especially young children, with asthma or breathing problems are presenting with more wheezing and serious breathing difficulties than with other enterovirus strains and may require more support and care.”

In an effort to curb spreading and prevent emergency room overcrowding, CHEO is recommending parents who are

concerned about their child’s respiratory symptoms, such as wheezing, see their family doctor or visit a walk-in clinic.

They are also urged to not bring the sick child’s siblings and other relatives to emergency departments.

Children who are struggling to breathe should immediately be taken to a hospital emergency room, Schacherl said.

“Children under five years old or children with a history of asthma should be watched more carefully for worsening symptoms, especially breathing difficulties,” she said.

An investigation was launched south of the border in August after several children began falling sick with severe respiratory illnesses.

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that EV-D68 was the culprit, according to Public Health Ontario.

“As of Sept. 15, 2014, laboratory confirmed cases have been reported in Canada,” the Crown corporation said on its website.

“While increases in hospitalizations for respiratory illness have been reported in affected areas, no deaths have been attributed to the recent increase in EVD68 in North America.”

PREVENTION

CHEO recommends several preventative measures to fight the spread of enterovirus D68, such as washing hands often with soap and water for at least 15 seconds, avoiding touching eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands, and not sneezing or coughing into your hand.

Suggestions also include staying home when sick and frequently disinfecting surfaces, such as doorknobs and toys.

for seniors Continued from page 69

Others in the building have also turned to puffers or have noticed sediment falling from the vents into the unit, she said.

“My sister has the same problem,” Blondin said of her sibling who lives in the same building. “Everybody has (the same problem). You can knock at (any) door; they have it.”

Blondin said she has to frequently wipe down surfaces in her unit to keep the dust at bay.

“The dust, it looks like a white powder,” she said, eyeing a dusty film on her table. “And I wash it. Now I have to wash it again.”

Both Blondin and Searles say despite requests to Ottawa Community Housing for professionals to come in and clean inside their vents, there has been no movement.

“For the vent, no, they’re not fast for that,” Blondin said. “It’s not the first time people called for that.”

Giguère said he recognizes that climbing on a chair and reaching a vacuum nozzle into the ducts may be challenging for

seniors and residents with limited physical abilities.

For that reason, they are invited to contact Ottawa Community Housing’s call centre to request assistance. The city landlord works with partner agencies that can provide specialized assistance to eligible tenants at no charge.

“We will provide services and support if they require specific support,” Giguère said. “If there are seniors that have a specific need for cleaning their units or apartment, we know there are agencies that can come there.

And in specific occasions we can provide assistance if need be.”

If a tenant suspects their vent is clogged further down the duct, closer to where the air is expelled, Ottawa Community Housing is responsible for ensuring that is rectified, he added.

“The last thing I want is, especially when they are seniors, is (for them) to have concerns about the quality of their air in their apartment and this is something that, for me, is a priority,” he said, before offering to have the vents and ductwork in Searle’s unit inspected.

Miniatures, doll sale to raise money for cancer research Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - An Ottawa woman wants to use her hobby to raise money for people suffering from cancer.

Mary Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Meara, who makes dolls, started a miniature and doll sale three years ago to fight breast cancer.

Since that first year, she has man-

aged to raise almost $1,000 for the Canadian Cancer Society. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every little bit helps,â&#x20AC;? she said, adding the first two years she concentrated on breast cancer, but last year wanted to donate more broadly after a friend was diagnosed with lung cancer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think everyone has been touched by cancer in some way,â&#x20AC;? she said.

had up to 35 tables and made $553 at the Travelodge on Carling (Avenue).â&#x20AC;?

The next miniature and dolls show will be held on Oct. 19 at the Best Western at 1876 Robertson Rd. in Bells Corners. Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Meara said it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be as large as last year, but the rent is lower than the Travelodge, which will allow more money to go to charity.

Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Meara works with her friend Solange Sakalaukas, who creates miniatures and they rent out tables to other crafters and vendors.

The show promises to have teddy bears, baby dolls, paper dolls, miniatures and other wares for sale. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We started out at the Bells Corners Legion with 14 tables and raised $200,â&#x20AC;? Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Meara said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last year we

Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Meara said organizers plan to have 22 tables this year. Customers will also be elgible for door prizes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are hoping to make it fun for everyone,â&#x20AC;? Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Meara said.

Admission to the sale is $4. Table rentals for vendors are $25 for one and $55 for two.

For more information, call Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Meara at 613-225-9171 or email solange.louise@rogers.com.

City gives rail lines new names Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Montreal has its Metro, Toronto has the Subway and London has the Tube.

In Ottawa, the new light-rail line will have a name people are already familiar with â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the O-Train.

The cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s transit commission signed off on a plan to name all of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rail transit the O-Train.

That includes the existing diesel O-Train line that runs from Bayview to Greenboro stations, as well as the new light-rail system under construction, which will connect Tunneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pasture in the west to Blair Station in the east when it opens in 2018.

While the whole rail system will be called the O-Train, the two lines will have distinct names. The existing northsouth line will be referred to as the Trillium Line. The transit commission also formalized the name Confederation Line for the new section of LRT, which was the name given to the project during construc-

tion.

Each line will have a corresponding number and colour to make wayďŹ nding easier, said OC Transpoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s planning manager, Pat Scrimgeour.

The Trillium Line, also known as the 2, will be represented by green. Confederation Line will be called the 1 and will be represented using red.

City council candidate Jevone Nicholas, who is running in Rideau-Rockcliffe, appeared as a delegate on Sept.

17 to tell the commission that the names should be secondary to the identiďŹ ers passengers will actually use to describe the system: the colours and numbers.

Cumberland Coun. Stephen Blais and OC Transpo general manager John Manconi said riders will use whatever identiďŹ er they prefer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The travellers will ďŹ gure out what makes sense for them,â&#x20AC;? Manconi said.

Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson said it will be important to change the branding of the O-Train to reďŹ&#x201A;ect its new Trillium/2/green identity

before the Confederation Line is inaugurated so people can get used to the new names before 2018.

Manconi conďŹ rmed that is in the works.

Members of a transit commission working group chose the colours, numbers and names, which are meant to be easily read and understood in both English and French, as well as by people with a visual impairment such as colour blindness. The working group also kept in mind how additional line names could relate to the initial two monikers when LRT is eventually extended to other parts of the city.

The cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s transportation committee decided to adopt the O-Train name for the entire rail transit system, including the new LRT line. The new section will be called the Confederation Line, while the current O-Train route has been renamed the Trillium Line.
