OC Transpo top brass cautiously optimistic about uptick in ridership

BY Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

OC Transpo’s top boss John Manconi says ridership has stabilized, despite the doom and gloom about riders opting to drive because of LRT construction.

A report to the city’s transit commission on Sept. 21 puts rider levels up by about one per cent this year compared to last year.

Pat Scrimgeour, OC Transpo's assistant general manager of customer systems and planning, said while the numbers fluctuate, it does seem the levels have stabilized.

“Some months are up, some months are slightly down, but it does seem the downward trend has tapered off,” he said.

OC Transpo is on the road

to a $3.3 million surplus by the end of the year, much better than the $8-million deficit at the same time last year, said commissioner François Malo.

The surplus is coming, despite a dip in fare revenues.

The dip can be largely blamed on the flexibility of fare options afforded to passengers thanks to the Presto payment system, Scrimgeour said.

“We are selling more monthly passes and less single-ride fares,” Scrimgeour said, adding the monthly passes mean the amount per rider is lower than originally budgeted.

Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson said the difference in OC Transpo projections and reality was concerning.

“Staff is squeezing, but we already budgeted conservatively,” she said.

The revenue shortfall was $4.2 million.

A slump in the condo market and some kinks in the agreement around incremental service to the Canadian Tire Centre are also factors affecting the books.

NICKEL AND DIMES

Manconi credited the surplus to managers who were watching every penny.

“Service trumped everything,” Manconi said.

Meanwhile there were hiring freezes and a halt on any discretionary spending.

“Just like your household budget, when the revenue’s down, you have to reduce your spending,” he said, adding every vacancy came across his desk before it was filled.

“There were a lot of noes,” he said.

Manconi said on any given day there could be 100 vacancies.

METROLINX

One question mark in the city’s budgetary plans is the contract with Metrolinx, the provincial corporation, which is set to expire before the end of October.

Manconi stayed positive about the negotiations.

“Ottawa has a unique situation and I think they are understanding that Ottawa has some issues other municipalities aren’t dealing with,” Manconi said, adding other than the Toronto Transit Commission, Ottawa will be the only one with fare gates.

The recorder can float on water and includes a distress beacon to alert emergency services.

First net zero townhomes in province unveiled in Kanata

BY JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

The developer Minto unveiled Ontario’s first net zero energy townhomes in its Kanata Arcadia community on Sept. 22.

The four executive townhouses, which went on sale Sept. 23, are projected to deliver a 65 per cent reduction in energy consumption compared to an average home.

“We’re not only opening

the province’s first net zero energy townhomes, we’re getting a glimpse of the future,” said Kanata-Carleton MP Karen McCrimmon.

“When you have a home that produces as much energy as it uses in a year, that’s pretty remarkable,” said McCrimmon.

The townhomes are outfitted with solar panels, additional insulation, LED lighting, water efficient fixtures, an energy monitoring system and other energy efficient features.

“We need to make greater use of renewable sources of energy and we need to invest in more clean technologies. Net zero homes do all of that and it sets the example,” said McCrimmon.

Minto Communities Canada’s first net zero energy single-family home was revealed last October in Arcadia.

The net zero houses are part of a country-wide initiative spearheaded by roofing and insulation company Owens Corning Canada, along with $2 million in federal government funding.

Minto was one of five production homebuilders in Ontario, Alberta, Quebec and Nova Scotia picked to participate.

The idea is to show builders and homebuyers that net zero homes don’t need to be custom made and can be affordable for the average buyer, said Susan Murphy, vicepresident at Minto.

Since building its first net zero home, Minto has reduced the building costs by 65 per cent, she said.

“This translates into better affordability for a homebuyer who’s looking to reduce their ecological footprint while achieving great cost savings every month,” said Murphy.

The townhomes start at $352,900.

The energy upgrades are valued at around $60,000, while an additional $10,000 in builder upgrades have also gone into the homes, said Murphy.

The Canadian Home Builders Association created a new net zero labelling program to give certified houses official status, said Kevin Lee, the association’s CEO. “I'm pleased to say that these four townhomes are the first townhomes to be labelled,” said Lee. “The future is here today for the discerning Canadian homebuyer that wants a house that uses zero energy … is great for the environment and beyond that is greatly comfortable.”

Connected to your community

Love and empathy always in style M any years ago, when I was 16, I spent a summer working in England at a residential home for the elderly. It wasn’t my first choice; but something I fell into for two months. I was a care assistant, comparable to an assistant personal support worker in Ontario’s modern terms.

I was responsible for helping residents dress, serving breakfast, assisting with bathing and sponge bathing. The only thing I wasn’t allowed to do was help people with toileting. All the residents had some form of dementia.

As I said, it wasn’t my choice of job. I was scared at first; bathing old men and women was an eye-opener for me. But overall, it was fulfilling.

I became friends with the residents, who talked to me about their families. Sometimes they got the details muddled in the photos. Often they couldn’t remember my name. One woman could remember my country of origin, however, and called me “Canada, darling” for the entire summer.

At the end of my time there, she gave me the gift of a souvenir shot glass she’d once purchased on a trip to Ottawa. At the time, I didn’t live in Ottawa and had never even visited.

I was living in a tiny village with my mother. Evenings were dull and, despite my best efforts, hanging out at the pub, joining a local church youth group, I wasn’t there long enough to make friends my own age.

So I poured my extroverted energy into my morning shifts at the residential home, conversing with the elderly residents, hugging people, empathizing with the woman who couldn’t talk but easily expressed pain during routine sponge baths given roughly by an experienced carer, on a body covered with bruises from falls she’d had on consecutive nights.

One time, against the policy of the residence, I was tasked with doing her sponge bath on my own.

I was very gentle with her as I frequently watched her eyes for signs of discomfort.

Although she couldn’t respond with words, I could tell she was grateful for a young girl, for once not in a rush, who talked to her like a human being and took her pain seriously. I cried when I left my shift that day.

Over the past number of years, I haven’t had – nor have I sought out – experiences like this. But as my elders begin to age, some more

rapidly than others, I find myself drawn to their side, wanting them to feel, beyond anything else, that I love them. last wash

I washed one woman’s hair for the final time before the chemotherapy would render the activity unnecessary. I helped another in the toilet, in pain, frail and vomiting in the emergency room.

L’Arche founder Jean Vanier has dedicated his life to living in com-

munity with adults with intellectual disabilities. Vanier’s theory is that love is a basic human need.

His philosophy on love and life runs deep for me. I found myself reflecting on it after a visit with another older woman relative of mine recently, who has been bounced around from hospital to institution for compounding health problems associated with age. As I engaged in easy conversation with her, pushing her wheelchair in the sun, admiring local dogs and water rats in the lake, assisting her on the toilet, I realized just how deeply this time nourished my soul. Mostly, she has a sharp mind and offers perspective that I can’t get anywhere else. Regardless of how intellectual she is in the moment – sometimes she’s more dependent than others – she gives me the opportunity to understand the human condition and to demon-

strate empathy. When she’s in pain, my eyes become filled with tears. It’s like the pain is my own. Sometimes we even sit in silence as I rub her shoulder or hold her hand. Over the last few months, these moments have given me an intimate connection to her that is unparalleled in my life.

After a recent five days together, I realized she was the only person that I could discuss a shameful part of my own life with – we cried together and held hands. And I felt the broken parts of me being knitted back together in one tiny corner. “I am struck by how sharing our weakness and difficulties is more nourishing

to others than sharing our qualities and successes,” wrote Vanier in Community and Growth. But it is also nourishing to ourselves.

It may seem a foreign concept if you haven’t delved this deep; if you haven’t loved a person when she is weak or unable to do things; offering another dignity in moments of perceived indignity.

Love is not for good times, alone; in fact, the deeper love is when we can put our emotions, vulnerabilities and brokenness on the table for another to see, and he gathers them in his arms and wraps them in a genuine hug. This is the sharing of our humanity.

OPINION

Connected to your community

Captain a Canadian, eh!

S

outh of the border they say things are “as American as apple pie.”

They can keep the fruit. Up here we’re “as Canadian as hockey.”

And our passion for the game – the national identity some would say – makes it so very fitting that former Ottawa Senators captain Daniel Alfredsson became a Canadian citizen last week.

Swedish by birth, Alfredsson has spent roughly half of his 43 years in this country. He’s the physical embodiment of hockey for a generation of fans in this city. Alfredsson was always a hard worker, never taking a shift off.

Even after the wear and tear on his body forced retirement upon him, he returned to work in the front office of the Ottawa Senators.

The future hall-of-famer will see his No. 11 jersey lifted to the rafters of the Canadian Tire Centre this year; a further

reminder that he’s part of our collective hockey history.

Alfredsson’s wife, Bibbi, also became a citizen at the same ceremony in Toronto, while their kids, who were born here, were already dual citizens.

Alfie, as he is known so affectionally here, and Bibbi, received a great welcome as new citizens. NHL commissioner Gary Bettman called Alfredsson the “consummate ambassador for the game,” and the fans in Ottawa – where we host plenty of ambassadors – no doubt agree.

Thanks are hereby sent out to Alfredsson and his family for being part of this city for so many years – and for many more years to come.

And a big thank you – or “tack” – to Sweden for sharing him with all of us for so many years, and now sharing him with us as citizens of our hockey-loving nations.

Chateau reno not necessarily bad

I

t’s not an easy thing being Ottawa. With our reputation for stodginess, we can’t oppose any innovation, no matter how bizarre, without being labelled dull. On the other hand, we can’t try anything really innovative without being opposed by people who are … well, stodgy.

That may be all the context you need to follow the current discussion over proposed renovations to the Château Laurier. The additions to the hotel, as shown in media coverage, don’t fit with many people’s idea of what a Château Laurier should look like.

Those people have howled, frightening various elected officials who at first didn’t think the additions looked so bad.

Now they do.

But there has since come a

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town second howl, from those who hate stodginess. Why don’t we lighten up, they ask. Why do we have to be so tradition-bound? Then they go on to cite various examples of modernist additions to old buildings that look just fine.

However, not all of them do look just fine. At least not to everyone. Do you like that crazy glass thing tacked onto the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto? Are you happy that they put the I.M. Pei pyramid outside the Louvre?

Some of us, for fear of being

labelled stodgy, will say we like it. That, of course, is how the emperor was able to get away with wearing his new clothes for as long as he did.

On the other side, the side of those who put up the structures that we argue about, the anticipation of a hostile reaction can produce unfortunate results. We get modern buildings that don’t look particularly modern. They don’t offend, they don’t inspire. Most of downtown Ottawa is like that.

Take a walk along Queen Street, when they finish it.

Taste is a funny thing. All of us think we have it. And all of us know people who don’t have it. And they probably think the same of us. That makes for a weird debate.

It is made weirder by the notion,

in our democratic and egalitarian society, that we all have a right to our opinions. That is taken, in some places, to mean that one guy’s opinion is as good as the other’s. Which can then mean that an architect’s opinion on the Château Laurier is no better than a trumpet player’s, or a politician’s.

How do we resolve this? We don’t want to have our tastes dictated from above by people who think they know what’s best for us. On the other hand, we don’t want our artists, our architects to be timid and boring because they don’t want to offend anybody.

Where that puts us on the Château Laurier is anybody’s guess.

It’s a safe bet that the more consultation and the more reviewing goes on the less interesting the building is going to be. It’s also a safe bet that many people would prefer it to be that way.

Bylaw ticket comes as a shock To the editor,

When I moved to Kanata three years ago, I thought it was a very nice part of the city.

The people in the neighbourhood appeared friendly, greenspace is plentiful… and I do my part. My yard is kept up, I abide by the laws, never speed, pull over the moment my cell rings, not so much as a parking ticket – until I received a $50 ticket for parking in my own driveway.

Now I must admit, when I moved here I did not research the bylaw of parking in the

driveway. For reasons that are probably obvious to the masses, I didn’t feel the need.

Apparently there is an inner boulevard bylaw that prohibits one from parking one and a half meters from the road.

Now this bylaw officer chose to forgo the warning and issue a ticket, all the while being serenaded by the dogs that bark continuously two doors down. I would imagine he was then busily issuing tickets to the masses whose driveways only accommodate two tightly packed vehicles or those parked straddling the

sidewalk.

So Kanata, here is my question: are there any other bylaws I should be researching?

Should I mow my lawn from left to right instead of right to left? Should my couch be facing south?

I am quite willing to abide by all these rules because obviously they are thought through. Because frankly, to fight your $50 tickets would cost a day’s pay and a $20 parking charge. But then, you knew that.

Notice of Completion of Transit Project Assessment Process Confederation Line West Light Rail Transit Extension – City of Ottawa The City of Ottawa has completed an Environmental Project Report (EPR) in accordance with Ontario Regulation 231/08 for the Western Extension of the Confederation Line Light Rail Transit Environmental Assessment study.

The Project The City of Ottawa has developed a plan to extend and expand the City’s existing Light Rail Transit Network. Specifically the plan includes extending the future Confederation Line further west from Tunney’s Pasture Station to Bayshore and Baseline Stations, as well as a developing a Maintenance and Storage Facility in the Nepean-Woodroffe corridor, south of Norice Avenue.

The purpose of this project is to provide a higher level of transit service to growing communities in the west and southwest of the city, a need identified in the City of Ottawa’s 2013 Transportation Master Plan. The Plan will add 13 kilometres of rail and 10 LRT stations to the City’s overall transit network at Westboro, Dominion, Cleary, New Orchard, Lincoln Fields, Iris, Baseline, Queensview, Pinecrest, and Bayshore. The plan will also connect directly to the West Transitway and the Southwest Transitway to facilitate connections to the communities of Kanata and Barrhaven.

Preliminary engineering review has resulted in design refinements to the alignment along Richmond Road and Byron Linear Park, Lincoln Fields Station, Iris Station, and Bayshore Station. These changes have no significant additional environmental impact, reduce implementation costs, improve construction staging conditions, improve transit user experience, and have been incorporated into the EPR.

The Process The environmental impact of this transit project was assessed and an EPR prepared according to the Transit Project Assessment Process as prescribed in Ontario Regulation 231/08, Transit Projects and Greater Toronto Transportation Authority Undertakings. The EPR documents the entire study process, including a description of the planned project, its anticipated environmental impacts, and the project’s consultation program.

The EPR for the Confederation Line West LRT Extension will be available for a 30-day public review period starting September 29, 2016.

Please note that the Draft EPR has been available for public review during the 120 day Notice of Commencement phase, which began on June 2, 2016. The final EPR is available at the locations noted below during their regular business hours.

JESSICA CUNHA/METROLAND

Elizabeth Kilvert, owner of the Unrefined Olive in the Signature Centre and the Glebe, which has a BIA, explains the boundaries for the proposed Kanata Central BIA at a meeting Sept. 20.

BY JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

A proposed business improvement area for the Kanata Centrum, Signature Centre and surrounding areas has a tight timeline as it moves forward.

A draft report on the proposed BIA will be presented at the city’s finance and economic development committee on Nov. 1, and from there it will go to council in mid-November, said Kanata North Coun.

Marianne Wilkinson.

The goal is have businesses vote by the end of January. If the vote is positive, the BIA would be up and running shortly after, said Wilkinson.

“This is a very tight timetable,” she said. “Whenever that vote is finalized, if fewer

than 30 per cent said no, then the city will pass a bylaw to approve it.”

More than 20 people with business interests within the proposed boundary met to discuss the creation of a Kanata Central BIA on Sept. 20.

The area includes around 150 businesses of various types – including big box retail, smaller locally owned shops, car dealerships, restaurants and hotels.

“There’s a lot of different varieties in here,” said Wilkinson. “What one business said, was that people come but they only go to one place and then they go away.”

That’s something a BIA can help with, said Elizabeth Kilvert, owner of the Unrefined Olive in the Signature Centre and the Glebe, which has a BIA. A BIA could look at how to package the entire area as a destination and how to keep customers in the area longer, she said.

“What is missing? What are the gaps? What are the destination-driven businesses and what are the things that can extend people’s time here?” said Kilvert. “It’s a matter of presenting your area in a really fulsome way and all the services that exist.”

LEVY

BIAs are funded through area-specific levies on all commercially assessed properties within the defined boundary.

Levies are determined by a BIA’s yearly budget and are paid as part of property taxes.

Some property owners have been concerned about the levy, said Joy Forbes, who’s been involved with visiting the local stores to explain and answer questions.

“But when you explain, it’s been very, very positive. There’s been big support in the area,” she said.

See ALL, page 11

All funds collected through levy goes back to BIA: city Continued from page 10

For the proposed Kanata Central BIA, the city has assessed the total area at $330 million, and a budget of $150,000 was selected by the steering committee for 2017.

This means the levy for a business with an assessed property value of $2 million would pay an estimated $909 a year, said Jamie Hurst, the city’s BIA liaison, while a property assessed at $870,000 would pay an estimated $395 a year. (To get the levy amount, take the assessed property value, divide by the total area assessment, and multiply by the budget).

“A hundred per cent of the money that’s collected by the city through this levy system goes back to the BIA,” she said.

staff. The board determines the annual budget and the priorities of the BIA. Transparency was a concern mentioned at the meeting – how do members know the board won’t arbitrarily raise the budget without consulting member businesses, and thus raising everyone’s levy?

All BIA boards are required to have a general meeting every

year, which is when changes can be made to the board of directors, and the budget is presented, said Wilkinson.

“You don’t just pass the budget. Usually you do a work plan for the next year and show how the budget is required to do that,” she said. “The membership can change that. The membership has the final vote.”

TRANSPARENCY

BIAs are managed by an elected board of directors, which also includes the area councillor and can include a non-voting executive director if the board chooses to hire

budgets are available and open to the public, said Kilvert.

“It’s all a matter of public record. It’s a very, very transparent process,” she said.

BIAs also have access to special grants, partnerships with organizations, and the ability to conduct up to two research studies per year, said Wilkinson.

The steering committee has created a Facebook page, Kanata Central BIA, where information will be posted. For more details, contact Wilkinson’s office at 613-580-2474 or email kanatacentralbia@ gmail.com.

Transit Access: 94, 95, 157, 173 The City of Ottawa is working on a Planning and Environmental Assessment (EA) Study for the proposed at-grade Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) facility between Bayshore Station and Heron Station along a 14.5 km corridor generally following Baseline Road and Heron Road. The proposed facility would accommodate increasing travel demand across the City and help achieve modal share targets as set out in the Transportation Master Plan (TMP).

Implementation of the BRT facility is identified in the TMP as follows: • Baseline Station to Billings Bridge Station: Part of 2031 Affordable Transit Network.

• Baseline Station to Bayshore Station: Part of Network Concept Plan (Post 2031).

The EA Study will determine measures to improve transit service efficiency along the corridor and result in the expansion of the City’s transit network.

Study Area The Study Area stretches between Bayshore Station and Billings Bridge Station along a corridor following Holly Acres Road, Richmond Road, Baseline Road, Navaho Drive and Heron Road and includes the area around Baseline Station.

At the Open House you will: • Receive an update on the study’s progress • Learn about the Recommended Plan for the corridor • Have the opportunity to: °°Discuss the project with the study team and how it may affect your property °°Provide feedback Public input and comment on the information presented at the Open House event will be received until October 21, 2016.

The Environmental Assessment portion of the study will be undertaken in accordance with the Transit Project Assessment Process (TPAP) as prescribed in Ontario Regulation 231/08, Transit Projects. The EA process involves developing, assessing, and evaluating alternatives, which results in a Recommended Plan that will be presented to City’s Transportation Committee and Council for approval in mid 2016.

Interested persons can provide comments throughout the environmental assessment process. Any comments received will be collected under the Environmental Assessment Act and, with the exception of personal information, will become part of the public record as per the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (MFIPPA). Further information on the EA Study is available on the City’s project web site at: ottawa.ca/baselinecorridor.

There will be ongoing consultation activities with study stakeholders during the remaining course of the study.

Cabela’s opening draws thousands

BY JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

More than a hundred people camped out overnight in the parking lot of Cabela's to be among the first customers through the doors on Thursday, Sept. 22.

More than 1,000 people had amassed in front of the outdoor outfitters by 8 a.m. Thursday to celebrate the store's grand opening in Kanata.

Arnprior couple Charles Glandon and Jenn Nolet-Masse, along with their infant son Hunter, were the first people in line for the official opening. The family settled themselves in Wednesday afternoon at 4:30 p.m.

“We didn’t try to be first,” said Glandon, but they were pretty happy

to find themselves front-of-line.

More than 100 people camped out in the parking lot to ensure they were among the first 250 customers to receive a gift card.

Taylor Wright – Cabela’s ambassador and host of hunting show The Canadian Tradition – shot an arrow from a bow to cut the ribbon and officially open the store. Founder Mary Cabela greeted customers as they entered the building.

“We’re really honoured to have it right here in Kanata,” said Mayor Jim Watson, wearing a camo Cabela’s Ottawa hat. “Two hundred and fifty jobs have been created here.”

Cabela’s is hosting weekend long celebrations with giveaways and activities for families.

Zak Mark is greeted Cabela’s founder Mary Cabela as he enters the store. Zak and his mom Rosie Oosterman were among the first 50 people in line, having shown up shortly after midnight Thursday.

Member of Parliament Kanata-Carleton Carp Fair Last Thursday night I had the pleasure of kicking off the Grand Opening of the 153rd Carp Fair. The VIP barn was filled with excitement, in spite of the soggy weather.

Eli El-Chantiry and I had a great time helping out Dunrobin Meat and Grocery serve up dinner to the very generous fair sponsors. It truly is amazing to see the community come together like this. I will cover more about the weekend at the Fair in my next column.

Net Zero Townhomes in Kanata On behalf of the Minister of Natural Resources, the Honourable Jim Carr, I was on hand to celebrate the grand opening of Minto Communities Canada’s Net Zero Townhomes residential complex in Kanata.

Through government support and an increasing commitment on the part of Canadian business to help achieve a low-carbon future, innovative solutions such as these high-performing, energy-efficient homes are becoming more readily available to Canadians and are JESSICA CUNHA/METROLAND reducing the environmental impact of energy use while Pyjama Patrol - a Kanata-based organization that collects new pyjamas for children and youth in need - is hosting a pyjama party at the Hazeldean Mall on Oct. 22 to celebrate the community and raise funds and awareness for its cause and partnering helping homeowners save money on their energy bills. charities, the Kanata Food Cupboard and Chrysalis House. From left are Karen Waters, food cupboard client co-ordinator, Rox- National Holocaust Memorial anne Marion, counsellor with Chrysalis House, Colleen Rhedey, event organizer, and Jen Muckler, founder of Pyjama Patrol.

Pyjama Patrol aims to provide jammies to children, teens across city Continued from page 1

“We wanted to create an event that reflected our cause in a fun way,” said Muckler.

“Kids could come and celebrate what we’re doing but also know they’re helping kids in need. We all know pyjamas create happiness and security and love, and we wanted an event that kind of did the same thing. They can come and celebrate and dance and paint and be kids. And parents can see the joy pyjamas bring.”

Pyjama Patrol has teamed up again with the Kanata Food Cupboard and Chrysalis House to provide PJs to those in need, from infants to teens up to age 18, this holiday season.

“The community just blew me away last year,” said Karen Waters, client co-ordinator at

the food cupboard, adding the initial goal was 200 pairs of pyjamas. “Over 1,000 pairs of jammies were collected in two months. We helped over 400 families last year and that’s the most we’ve ever done. And I anticipate that it’s just going to keep growing.”

Pyjama Patrol is planning to branch out after the holidays in an effort to reach more families. Last year’s success inspired Muckler to grow her goal so the group can give new pyjamas to children and teens year-round.

“I want pyjamas on every child in Ottawa,” said Muckler, who lives in Bridlewood with her family. “Our goal this year is to leave both organizations with enough (pyjamas) to continue giving them out throughout the year. The more support we can receive from our community the

better because the need is never going to go away.

“It’s not just Kanata now, we’re helping all over.”

Roxanne Marion is a child and youth counsellor at Chrysalis House, a shelter for women and their children leaving abusive or violent situations. She said the support from Pyjama Patrol has been important for the families who access the shelter.

“A lot of families, a lot of women with their children come in with little to nothing. Having support like this it’s so valued, so appreciated,” she said. “Our moms are so grateful for this type of support, to have clothing donated around Christmastime. The look on their faces is just sheer amazement of what the community is able to support them with.”

CREATING AWARENESS

Pyjama Patrol was created late last year by Muckler, a former professional fundraising and event co-ordinator for an agency in New York. Every year she organized an adopt-afamily program, and every year families requested pyjamas.

“I learned kids were sleeping in their street clothes or nothing at all,” she said.

Waters receives similar requests at the food cupboard.

“Over and over and over you see PJs,” she said. “You’ve got to be comfortable when you go to sleep and I can’t imagine sleeping in my clothes that I've worn all that day, or I'm going to wear the next day, and be wearing them at night too.”

I was honoured to join our Prime Minister at the dedication ceremony for Canada’s new national Holocaust monument. The monument is being built near the National War Museum. The Monument, which is scheduled to be unveiled in 2017, will honour the millions of Jews and other innocent victims who died in the Holocaust. It will also promote a better understanding of the historical events surrounding the Holocaust and how they affected Canada, and celebrate the tremendous contributions that Holocaust survivors have made to this country.

Jack MacLaren Member of Provincial Parliament Carleton-Mississippi Mills

Proud to Serve You It is a privilege and an honour to serve as your Member of Provincial Parliament for the great riding of Carleton-Mississippi Mills. If you are a constituent of this riding and you are faced with a problem that involves the Ontario provincial government, please note I am here to help you.

Failing Our Future The Wynne Government’s mismanagement of the Ontario education system is alarming. I think you’ll agree with me that a strong education system is a major part of a strong economy and a strong society.

Unfortunately, EQAO math scores have been declining for years, but they hit a new low recently. 50% of students in grade 6 can’t meet the provincial standard in mathematics. In grade 3, it’s even worse: 63% fail to meet the standard. Wynne’s approach to education just isn’t working. Children aren’t even expected to memorize multiplication tables anymore. Nevertheless, the Government claims to be doing something about it. They plan to set aside $60 million in order to devote an average of 60 minutes of “protected math learning time.” I think parents may have doubts about this strategy, since it’s not so much a question of time - but rather of a failed curriculum.

The Pyjama-Rama event will help raise awareness of the need for proper sleeping attire and the organizations involved in making it happen.

“We’re creating awareness; we’ve been given the opportunity to find out about this and we’re giving people an opportunity to help out. By doing this we’re allowing people to see where the need is,” said Muckler.

“My goal, all of our goals, is to make sure kids know they're loved. I want to give hope back to these families – that people do care and in the toughest times there are good people who want to help. We’d all want that help if we ever needed it.”

Proceeds from ticket sales for Pyjama-Rama will help ensure the organizers are able to purchase what is needed this holiday season. Last year, there was an influx of jammies for young children, but very little for teenagers.

“People tend to look for the cuteness when they purchase,” said Colleen Rhedey, PyjamaRama event organizer. “We’re hoping for people to come and enjoy the day and with the proceeds then we can go out and buy what we really need. Because you just don’t know what we’re going to need this year.”

SIU investigating after a man falls from balcony STAFF

The Special Investigations Unit has been called in to investigate the death of a 52-year-old man who fell from a McWatters Road

apartment balcony on Sept.

24 after police arrived at the scene.

At 12:45 p.m., Ottawa police responded to an apartment building at 1300 McWatters Rd. According to a

SIU press release, officers arrived at a unit and knocked on the door. A short time later, a man fell from the unit’s balcony.

He was later pronounced dead.

Police issue fraud warning STAFF

Ottawa Police’s Organized Fraud Unit is warning the public about a new scam that has emerged in the Ottawa area.

According to police, complaints have been called in from people who have “hired” paving contractors who come to the door, with promises of an inexpensive

paving job.

No paperwork is exchanged, a verbal price is agreed upon and when the work is complete, they are charged a much higher amount and are pressured by the purchaser to pay.

The “salesmen” appear to be young white males, who speak with an Irish accent, according to police.

Police are reminding the public that any contractor work should include a signed hard copy contract, and that if any deal appears too good to be true, it probably is.

Once you agree to the work, you have to pay for the work, “so that is why it is important to get a contract before the work starts,” police said in a statement.

Romeo and Juliet Redux on stage at the Gladstone Oct. 6-15

BY MELISSA MURRAY mmurray@metroland.com

A local theatre group is reimagining a classic Shakespearean tragedy by reducing the show to just four actors and 90 minutes.

Beginning Oct. 6, and running until Oct. 15, is Romeo and Juliet Redux, presented

by Plosive Productions and directed by David Whiteley at the Gladstone.

“Instead of this broad, long, epic, massive thing that Shakespeare gives us, it’s this personal immediate encounter between four very passionate people,” said Whiteley.

The show features local actors David da Costa, Lawrence Evenchick, Robin Hudge and Mekdes Teshome, with soundscapes by the PepTides’ Scottie Irving.

Teshome plays Juliet and da Costa will play Romeo in the production. The other two actors, Hudge and Evenchick play many of the play’s other characters, and sometimes all at once.

Whiteley calls it “dream

DAVID WHITELEY/SUBMITTED

Lawrence Evenchick, David da Costa, Mekdes Teshome and Robin Hodge will take the stage in Romeo and Juliet Redux at the Gladstone theatre from Oct. 6-15. The four actors are the only cast of the condensed production with a runtime of about 90 minutes. logic.”

“It’s not the rational waking world logic,” he said.

The two actors play different sides: Evenchick is the embodiment of all of the lovers’ allies,

although his efforts often get them into more trouble. Hudge plays the characters who oppose Romeo and Juliet’s relationship and in a twist, is in love with Romeo as well.

Hudge explains it as being brand new characters made up of all of the originals.

“It’s a challenge,” she said, adding the motives of the characters change on a dime.

But there’s a line in the show that she thinks sums it up: Stillwaking sleep, that is not what it is.

“It’s a different world of shifting reality,” she said.

Contributing to that feeling of a dreamlike state is the set, which is like a large light box with draping fabric like a tent, Whiteley said.

Even the audience is “trapped in this dream or this nightmare,” he said.

This isn’t your typical show and when the curtains rise, Whiteley doesn’t see people standing around in the lobby chatting about the take on some of the characters.

“Coming out of that will be more like coming off a rollercoaster than coming out of a conventional play. You’ll be put through the ringer emotionally and on a gut level,” he said, adding it’s not a play you go to see, it’s a play you go to feel.

Show times are at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday matinees are at 2:30 p.m.

For more information, visit www.thegladstone.ca.

Tickets are $38 for adults, $34 for seniors and $22 for students. Group discounts are available at www.thegrouptixcompany. com, or call 1-866-447-7849.

Students to be “front and centre� for Ottawa 2017 celebrations: Watson Continued from page 17

“We started meeting with school board officials several months ago because we wanted to make sure that students were front and centre of the celebrations as Canada turns 150 years old.�

Watson was joined for the announcement by students and teachers from the city’s four boards, city council members, Ottawa 2017 Bureau executive director Guy Laflamme, and representatives of CIBC, the Ottawa Local Immigration Partnership, the Ottawa Public Library and Experiences Canada.

In a display of artistic flair, students from each of the four boards – under the guidance of artist-mentors from House of Paint – were on hand to decorate a wall bordering the Lansdowne Park playground with Ottawa 2017-themed chalk murals before the announcement.

“It takes a lot of people, a lot of collaboration and cooperation to put on a celebration one year in the making,�

Watson said.

Through the partnership, Watson said, the Ottawa 2017 Bureau and the city’s four school boards will work together to: • Recruit local schools to pair with some of the 150 exchange groups Experiences Canada – an organization that arranges educational exchanges – will register across the country in 2017 • Gather and share immigration stories with help from the Ottawa Local Immigration Partnership • Launch a poetry contest in partnership with the Ottawa Public Library during National Poetry Month in April • Encourage students to write postcards to family and friends across Canada, inviting them to visit Ottawa for the celebrations • Recruit students to vol-

unteer at Ottawa 2017 activities • Have classes “adoptâ€? a country, study its culture and traditions, then visit that country’s Ottawa Welcomes the World showcase at Lansdowne Park “We are really looking forward to our partnership, and working with Ottawa students to create an incredible celebration for the 150th,â€?

Laflamme said at the event. “We are celebrating youthfulness, we are celebrating future talents.�

Later in the week, on Sept.

22, the city announced its plan to install a five-metrehigh natural gas cauldron in Marion Dewar Plaza, in front of city hall. The cauldron – an artistic adaption of the Ottawa 2017 logo – will be sparked on New Year’s Eve, to celebrate the start of Ottawa 2017 celebrations.

The project is also a partnership between the city, Enbridge and natural gas companies from across the country.

The sparking of this centrepiece will cue hundreds of Ottawa-area students to form a human chain, connecting young people from diverse backgrounds and weaving a line of youthful optimism through downtown Ottawa streets.

“We’re excited to mark the beginning of Canada’s 150th birthday celebrations in Ottawa with an energizing and momentum-building New Year’s Eve event that involves the future leaders of our city,” said Mayor Jim Watson.

“The partnership between Ottawa 2017, Enbridge and other Canadian natural gas companies will enable the creation of an impressive cauldron that will burn brightly on December 31st and become a

the start of a moving and monumental year in the nation’s capital,” Laflamme said.

www.CanadianAutoMall.com

CNIB Night Steps is coming to Kanata Diagnosed with a genetic eye condition known as cod-rod dystrophy, Avesta Alani, 21, is breaking down barriers as a fourth year honours international development and globalization student at the University of Ottawa.

When she was eight, Alani began to show unmistakeable signs of vision loss. Her parents noticed she was having difficulties and took her to a specialist.

Unlike most forms of cone-rod dystrophy, which are degenerative, Alani’s parents were relieved to learn that her vision would remain relatively stable, but her doctor said she should visit CNIB. Alani’s first memory of CNIB was receiving her closed circuit television. CCTV units allow individuals with vision loss to read, write and view pictures at a magnification level that works best for them. For many years, that was Alani’s only connection to CNIB. “I wasn’t really comfortable with my diagnosis,” says Alani, “so I tried to detach myself from the low vision community.”

It wasn’t until years later, that Alani began to change her mind. On the recommendation of a CNIB employee, Alani signed up for the Skills, Confidence, Opportunities through Recreation and Education program at CNIB’s Lake Joseph Centre, an accessible lakefront facility in the heart of Muskoka.

This program is designed to provide intensive rehabilitative programs for students in grades 7 to 10 with a focus on personal management, social competence, play and leisure that will encourage healthy, active lifestyles along with setting personal goals and planning for their successful futures.

Alani responded to the program immediately and returned the next year for the next level of the program for youth in their final years of high school.

“That’s when I really became enlightened,” recalls Alani. “Of course, I enjoyed the activities–sailing, canoeing, water skiing-but Lake Joe is more than that. The activities are great, but they are a means to an end. It was the essence of Lake Joe that taught me I could be who I wanted to be; that you can do whatever you want to do.”

Alani’s change of heart on the value of being a part of the low vision community has led to her desire to give back. Currently, she chairs CNIB’s national youth council, a group that

provides a voice for youth who are blind, deafblind, or partially sighted and gives them the opportunity to influence change and increase awareness of issues facing Canadian youth living with vision loss.

She also spent this past summer working at Lake Joe. She returned to the place that has come to mean so much to her. She wants to ensure that children with vision loss don’t feel isolated the way she initially did.

“My summer job at Lake Joe is a testament to my new-found confidence,” says Alani.

And so is the way she speaks passionately about the impact of CNIB. You’re invited to join Alani at CNIB Night Steps, a five-kilometre fundraising walk under the stars, on Satur-

day, Oct. 1 at the Brookstreet Hotel in Kanata.

Funds raised will help CNIB ensure more individuals who are blind or partially sighted have an opportunity to experience CNIB’s Lake Joseph Centre, an accessible lakefront facility in the heart of Muskoka. Pledges will also bring the joy of reading to adults and children living with vision loss, and every gift will empower members of our community with the skills, confidence and opportunities they need to fully participate in life.

The evening will include inspirational stories from local clients about how CNIB programs and services have made a positive impact on their lives.

Pedestrian fighting for his life after being hit by car on Riverside Drive: police

BY Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

A male pedestrian in his 20s is in hospital suffering from life-threatening injuries after he was struck by a car at the corner of Riverside Drive and Industrial Avenue, according to investigators.

Police, firefighters and paramedics were called to the rain-soaked scene Sept.

22 at 7:40 p.m.

“It was a pedestrian hit by a vehicle (while) crossing the road,” said Const.

Marc Soucy, Ottawa police spokesman. “And he is still fighting for his life.”

"He without vital signs when we arrived on scene," said J.P. Trottier, Ottawa paramedic spokesman.

"We managed to restart the heart just before arrival at hospital. He was in critical condition – head injuries and other traumatic injuries."

Soucy said the pedestri-

Metroland File Photo

A male pedestrian is fighting for his life in hospital after suffering life-threatening injuries after he was struck by a car while crossing Riverside Drive at Industrial Avenue on Sept. 22 around 7:40 p.m. an was crossing Riverside Drive, but could not provide additional details since the investigation is still ongoing. The police collisions investigations unit is managing the case.

Southbound lanes on Riverside Drive were closed near Industrial Avenue in the wake of the incident.

That intersection was a hub of activity with firefighters,

police officers and paramedics arriving en masse.

A number of OC Transpo buses could also be seen parked along Riverside Drive near that intersection. However, Soucy said it was a car that struck the man and that no OC Transpo buses were involved.

“I think one (bus) driver was a witness, but was not involved in the collision,”

said Soucy.

An OC Transpo bus may have also been dispatched to the scene to provide shelter for witnesses being interviewed by officers, he added.

Investigators are still looking to speak with anyone who may have seen what happened, and are urged to call the Ottawa police at 613-236-1222.

eileen Winnifred (neé mcCracken)

With great sorrow, the family of Margery Montreuil (nee Arthur), of Carleton Place and Mississippi Lake, advises that she passed away peacefully, with her husband and family at her side, at Fairview Manor in Almonte, on Saturday, September 24, 2016. She was in her 90th year.

A loving wife, mother, grandmother and greatgrandmother, she will be sadly missed by her husband Jean Montreuil and her children and their partners, John Montreuil (Donna), Michael Montreuil (Brenda), Geoffrey Montreuil, Madelaine Tuttle (Roger), Tom Montreuil (Sharon) and Beth Ellis (Kevan).

She loved and delighted in the lives and exploits of the families of her nine grandchildren – Angie (Dean Vennor), Eireann Montreuil (Dusty), Jamie Montreuil (Shawna), Alison (Jean Francois Gallant), Victoria Tuttle (David Hallam), Stephen Tuttle (Libby), Shannon Tuttle (Jesse Smith), Cody Montreuil, Hannah Ellis.

Born in Ottawa in 1927, to Hilton and Margaret Arthur, Margery enjoyed a full and adventurous life, with international travels, but truly enjoyed her time with her family close by, at the summer home, on Mississippi Lake. She enjoyed a good cup of tea, classical music and her extensive collection of shamrocks, reflecting her family’s Irish heritage. Margery had enjoyed the ongoing love and company of her sister, Joan Frappier (Ian - deceased) of Temagami and Don Arthur (June) of Stittsville.

She was predeceased by her parents, and her sister, Elaine Holmes (Jose) of Ottawa.

The family extends their heartfelt thanks to Dr. Susie Quackenbush, Pam Murphy and the nursing staff of the AGH – Fairview Manor for their continual care and compassion throughout the past year.

Visitation took place at the Alan R. Barker Funeral Home, 19 McArthur Avenue, Carleton Place, on Tuesday, September 27, 2016 from 11:00 a.m. until the funeral service in the Chapel at 1:00 p.m. Interment followed at St. James Anglican Cemetery, Carleton Place.

Roy was born in Gore Bay, Manitoulin Island. He attended Royal Military College and graduated from the University of Western Ontario. His 38 year teaching career was spent mostly at Kirkland Lake High School, retiring as Department Head, Geography in 1989. Roy was an avid reader.

Wayne H. Stuart October 31st, 1945 - September 2nd, 2016 A gathering was held on Saturday, September 17th, 2016. Wayne’s three loving ladies shared their sadness with some immediate family members, close friends, neighbours and former collegues.

Such a well lived, adventurous life was obvious in the photo’s displayed throughout Briana and Shawn’s home. A flight helmet and a flying suit from the Cold War Era, an Air Force Blue Officers’ Hat and a Blue UN Beret bore witness to Wayne’s challenging roles over his 27 year career with the Forces.

Our 14 years of sailing from Gananoque brought memories for some as they were the lucky ones taken out on Freestyle. Skiing photos covered the enjoyment started 42 years ago as the newly married couple started skiing lessons.

Donations in Wayne’s memory could be directed to the Heart & Stroke Foundation, Foundations for PSP/CBD and Related brain Diseases and / or Skiing for the Disabled. Ashes from the beautiful red leafed urn will be scattered at later dates.

Grateful that our lives became entwined for the years that we shared.

Our Love, Mary, Meghan and Briana.

Museum of Nature to showcase wonders of the North NEWS

Connected to your community

BY Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

The new Canadian arctic gallery to open at the Canadian Museum of Nature next summer will have everything from dinosaur bones to live fish.

The exhibit will be permanent and will be named after extreme weather clothing outfitter Canada Goose for the first 10 years, thanks to a $1.5 million sponsorship deal.

It won’t just be icicles and polar bears, said Alisa Barry, vice-president of experience and engagement at the Canadian Museum of Nature.

“We are actually reaching out to northern communities to curate their own perspectives of current issues, contemporary issues, concepts of the environment, and put that in the gallery,” she said.

The whole arctic exhibition will be approximately 743 square-metres.

The exhibition space will be housed on the top floor of the museum and feature an interactive display of the Northern Lights. It will also show off the geography and address the climate change that affects the arctic.

The space dedicated to showcasing local arctic communities will be 55 squaremetres, Barry said.

Natan Obed, president of ITK, the national representational organization for Inuit in Canada, said most people don’t know about Inuit lifestyles.

Kieran Shepherd, the curator for the arctic exhibit, shows off what he believes to be a fossil from the bone of a duck-billed dinorsaur. The fossil shows that not only did dinosaurs roam the Canadian arctic, but they may have bred there.

“There’s a perception that we are nomadic, so we have no roots, but it was seasonal,” he said. “I know where I come from.”

Obed said he’s excited that Inuit people will have a part in showcasing their culture, their environment and their land to the world.

There are 60,000 Inuit people spread across a landmass that equals 35 per cent of Canada, Obed said.

The Kitikmeot Heritage Society, from Victoria Island in Nunavut, will put the first northern-crafted exhibit together.

Barry said the museum is also partnering with the Van-

couver Aquarium Marine Science Centre, who will be providing two aquaria, one including Arctic Cod, that will give visitors a sneak peek into the arctic’s marine life.

Mark Graham, vice-president of research and collections for the museum, said there will be a climate zone that will stand “some people’s perceptions on their head.”

Ottawa South MP David McGuinty said museums serve an integral role in preserving history and culture.

“When a museum gets it right, it helps us understand the world around us in a way that’s engaging, exciting and fun,” he said.

The Carlingwood branch of the Ottawa Public Library is celebrating 50 years at its Woodroffe Avenue location on Oct. 1. The branch will unveil a new mural called 50 down, 50 to go, 50 more years watch us grow.

Carlingwood library branch celebrates 50 years

BY MELISSA MURRAY mmurray@metroland.com

About 20 people wait under the stroller parking canopy and up the ramp outside the Carlingwood branch of the

Ottawa Public Library before it opens on a Friday afternoon.

Among them is a mother rocking a baby to sleep in a stroller and patrons with DVDs in hand, ready

to return. When the clock strikes 1 p.m., the double doors are unlocked and refuge from the wind is just steps away.

“It’s a very busy and popular

branch,” said Yvonne van Lith, manager of the Carlingwood branch, adding about 1,000 people come to the branch each day. “They come back here because it’s an open and welcoming space.”

originally opened in the Carlingwood Shopping Centre in 1957 with a collection of 5,000 books. The current location on Woodroffe Avenue was inaugurated in October of 1966 — 50 years ago — with a collection of 30,000 items. Now patrons of the library have access to OPL’s entire collection, more than 200,000 items.

To celebrate the anniversary, the branch is hosting a celebration on Oct. 1, starting at 10:30 a.m., complete with cake, family storytime, mural unveiling, green-screen photography, button-making, popcorn and more.

See ANNIVERSARY, page 37

Yvonne van Lith, manager of the Carlingwood branch of the Ottawa Public Library shows off the branch’s new mural commemorating the building’s 50th anniversary. The mural is called 50 down, 50 to go, 50 more years watch us grow.

MELISSA MURRAY/ METROLAND

Anniversary also kicks off library month for local branch Continued from page 36

Capital Blend Quartet will sing guests out of the anniversary event, which ends at 3:30 p.m.

Van Lith said the anniversary celebration will have something for everyone.

“The staff have pulled out all the stops,” she said.

The anniversary also kicks off Library Month.

“Everyone is very excited; people really do love their local library.”

The library is also celebrating the milestone with the addition of a mural on the corner of the building.

It’s called 50 Down, 50 to Go, 50 More Years Watch Us Grow. It was painted, sketched and assembled by artist Claudia Salguero and

Grade 9 and 10 teens from Carlington Community Health Centre’s StudentsWill-All-Graduate program.

“The kids and teens really feel the library is here for them,” van Lith said of the mural project and other teen programming.

“It’s not just about books, it’s about building confidence,” she said.

The mural shows the library as a safe and inclusive space with books, computers, programs, music and other technologies.

She said the library has many active users, including a large senior population, which is also depicted in the mural. School groups also scour the stacks for their next read and use it often.

“It’s a place to meet and

for people to connect. It just feels like a part of you.”

Van Lith has memories of her own library in Winnipeg, going in with an idea of a book, but no idea of the title.

“And this guy with a curly moustache found the book for me,” she said. “It’s the memories like that they will keep with them,” she said.

Those memories are created through connections with staff, and with the community, she said, adding that makes the library branch more of a community hub, with resources ranging from audio books to Google Chromebooks, than just stacks of reading materials.

Hands off the Central Experimental Farm – that was the message heard loud and clear at the public consultation on 12 potential sites for the Ottawa Hospital’s new Civic campus hosted by the National Capital Commission on Sept. 22 at the Canadian War Museum.

Among the more than 400 people in attendance for the evening presentation and question and answer period were those wearing pins made from Mason jar lids with Save CEF written in black marker.

Four of the 12 potential sites are on the Central Experimental Farm, and most participants spoke against that possibility. In favour was David McDonald, who lives just behind the existing Civic campus. He recommended the hospital be placed across Carling Avenue from the current hospital on Central Experi-

mental Farm land.

He said he’s recently seen too much of the inside of the hospital.

“When I look south and see a cornfield, I just have a hard time remembering the last time a cornfield saved my life.”

But several speakers took exception to McDonald’s characterization of the experimental farm as just a cornfield.

Bob McClelland, from Cantley, Que., wondered how the NCC will value the research field through the site review process.

“Please stop calling the Central Experimental Farm agriculture land. It’s research land, this is science, this is an outdoor lab,” he said to loud applause, noting research on the farm has contributed to a Nobel Prize.

“It’s not just a cornfield, you wouldn’t call the heart institute just a brick building.”

NCC staff noted they have received a lot of information about the work and research

done on the farm over the summer, including some of the long-term projects on climate change.

Katie Ward, from West Carleton, stood among more than 20 people who lined up at microphones to ask questions, wearing a bright blue shirt that read Farming is Public Service.

“Nobody is disputing the need for a new Civic hospital … but we need to make sure that this research that supports our farmers providing food that is going to be in that hospital cafeteria gets preserved.”

Following several comments and questions from participants urging the NCC to look at the sites that don’t include the experimental farm, Kristmanson assured the crowd of the process and that public feedback will be used to determine the best site for the hospital, among other criteria.

He said the evaluation committee wants to hear which criteria are important to people to help them throughout the qualitative process.

“We’ve got the farm thing,” said Mark Kristmanson, CEO of the NCC nearing the end of the evening, urging participants to address other issues.

“We have to get it right; it does have life or death consequences later on.”

When a comment came about what the broader public would think if it knew the

NCC was giving away federal land for an Ontario hospital, Kristmanson had a reply for participants.

“We’re asking you what you think should happen through an evidence-based process, not a passion-based one,” Kristmanson said.

On that note, Lianne Dwyer of Dunrobin, who sits on the board of the Agricul-

be.”

Participants in the consultation also expressed the need for the new hospital to be accessible by public transit and questioned the need for 3,300 parking spaces.

The online consultation is open until Oct. 6 and the NCC will receive a presentation on the site review process on Nov. 23, before forward-

Three weeks ago I was at a retail store and tripped over a box near the entrance. I fell and broke my wrist. Today an Insurance adjuster called me. He said I was responsible to look where I was walking but he offered me $5000.00 to help me out as I have been off work.

I am on sick leave and have not lost any income. Is there any reason not to just take the money?

Plenty of Reason. Leaving aside what happened, and what you might be entitled to recover as a result of your injuries, it is always a good idea to consult with a lawyer before taking a settlement proposed by an insurance company. Insurance adjusters work for Insurance companies and they do not approach a settlement based on what you are entitled to. They offer money based on the risk of what you might receive by way of an award. Generally, they will try and settle a claim or potential claim for as little as they reasonably can in order to close off a risk.

A lawyer will work for you. Many lawyers offer a free consultation. I find I ask a lot of questions and do a lot of listening during a consultation. I try to give my client an understanding of the legal issues arising in their circumstances, and what the options are going forward.

Assert your rights. Over the years I have come to understand that people almost always benefit from at least consulting with a lawyer before trying to settle with an insurance company. There is a significant imbalance between a lone individual and a huge insurance company. A lawyer has the knowledge to help level the playing field. In my experience insurers will see a greater risk when dealing with an injured person who is represented by a lawyer. Greater risk to insurers leads to better settlements.

Moving bike rodeo wheels into Kanata Free Pedal Play event focuses on safety, awareness for all ages

BY JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

A moving bicycle rodeo will pedal the streets and bike trails around north Kanata on Saturday, Oct. 1.

The free Pedal Play event is geared to all ages with a focus on how to navigate roads and paths safely.

“The roads have gotten

more complex since I learned how to bike,” said event organizer Natasha D’Souza, who works with St. Gabriel School to encourage more children to bike to school. “The point of this is to get people out on the bike paths, on the bike lanes.

It’s about taking our fears away.”

Groups will begin at the Beaverbrook Community

Centre and navigate their way through the community to Whalen Park. Parents must accompany children along the route.

“It’s part driver education, part pedestrian education and part cycling education,” said D'Souza.

“Walking or cycling to school or work in good weather is an ideal way to stay fit and reduce congestion,” said Wilkinson. “Participants in Pedal Play will learn how to cycle safely – following the rules of the road – and find that there are safe routes within their community.”

Volunteers will be located at stops on the route, along with interactive activities that focus on safety and related issues including: • hand signals, • highway traffic act compliance, • staying safe in fast-moving vehicle traffic, • how to properly wear a helmet, • how to work bike gears, • simple bicycle maintenance.

The route includes manoeuvring from a bike lane with

“Knowledge is power – you

give people knowledge and then get them to try it out,” said D’Souza, who lives in Kanata Lakes. “You build that awareness, you build that cour-

age, you build that confidence, you get people confident enough to get in the bike lane.”

And cycling isn’t just good for the environment and people’s physical health; it’s also ideal for mental health. Hopping on a bike can help combat anxiety, depression and stress, said D’Souza.

For children, the event will focus on safety and building confidence and competence.

For adults, it will focus on promoting cycling as transportation and road safety, as well as education on the Highway Traffic Act and potential fines.

“It’s very important adults come out; it’s not focused on families only,” said D’Souza.

“We pay a lot of taxes for this really good infrastructure and we’re not taking ad-

vantage of it.”

There will be other activities available at Whalen Park, along with loot bags, a food truck and a number of vendors and organizations, including Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson’s Transportation Action Committee Kanata North, Safer Roads Ottawa and EnviroCentre’s Sustain Kanata

“Learning safe cycling – and particularly safe cycling to your school and in your neighbourhood – is as great a gift and as necessary a skill as learning to swim,” said Neil Thomson, president of the Kanata Beaverbrook Community Association.

“Pedal Play is a great way to get the entire family involved and out into the community, which after all, was designed with kids and cycling in mind.”

The event is free and will start at the Beaverbrook Community Centre, 2 Beaverbrook Rd., at 10 a.m. with cycling groups leaving roughly every 15 minutes.

The last group will leave at 1 p.m.

The rodeo ends at Whalen Park, near All Saints Catholic High School, with festivities wrapping up at 3:30 p.m.

Registration is required and volunteers are needed to help on the day of the event.

Inaugural canoe kayak challenge to pay tribute to slain military sentry

BY Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

The memory of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, the soldier who was fatally shot at the National War Memorial in downtown Ottawa, will be honoured at an inaugural canoe and kayak challenge featuring his name.

It’s been almost two years since that Oct. 22, 2014 tragedy shook the foundations of Ottawa and beyond, and organizers are hoping the inaugural Cpl. Nathan Cirillo Memorial Cup Canoe & Kayak Challenge, featuring an afternoon of canoe and kayak races for teams and individuals, will entice the community to come together.

“It was a major tragedy and I think it hit everybody from east to west (and) the States,” said Barbara Boucher, director of the Canine Citadel Society’s Ottawabased Boots 4 Pups chapter, which is organizing the event with Canoe Kayak Canada.

“I think it hit everybody that this could happen to somebody who was … stand-

ing guard.”

The Oct. 1 event will be a tribute, but also serve as an opportunity for more people, especially youth, to get out and enjoy an active lifestyle.

It will also help generate much-needed funds to sup-

port military veterans and first responders living with post-traumatic stress disorder.

Event proceeds will go towards the training of service dogs for sufferers of PTSD and occupational stress in-

juries, which is what the Citadel Canine Society of Canada and Boots 4 Pups specialize in.

Already the Ottawa branch has paired one trained dog, a second dog is currently undergoing training, and

the organization recently received another application for a trained dog.

The demand for such a service here is significant, said Boucher, but the cost is high. The price tag to train a dog is between $3,500 and

$5,000.

“Whatever we raise from now to December will help us target a third dog,” said Boucher, a Gloucester resident.

Moment of silence to be held to honour Cirillo’s memory Continued from page 43

A moment of silence will be held following the inaugural challenge to honour Cirillo’s memory and sacrifice. The Memorial Cup that will be awarded following the challenge will also feature his name.

Boucher said she was touched and inspired when she learned Cirillo’s family approved the Citadel Canine

Society’s application to use the reservist soldier’s name for charitable events out of some 400 other applicants.

“Nathan loved rescue dogs, he was always rescuing dogs,” Boucher said. “And he had two beautiful dogs.”

It was this connection that cemented her own desire to volunteer with Boots 4 Pups about a year-and-a-half ago.

She and her team of volunteers are now in the final

homestretch before the paddlers take to the waters of the Rideau River off the shores of Mooney’s Bay Park. But the hard work continues, collaborating with supporters and making important community contacts.

A print by well-known Hunt Club Park painter Katerina Mertikas has also been donated to the cause by Ottawa resident Jane Stringer.

Silent auction bids will be ac-

cepted during the afternoon races for the Nathan Cirilloinspired painting, “Honouring My Father,” and a copy of the We Stand on Guard children’s book Mertikas illustrated.

Another Ottawa artist, Anne Jarbouh, plans to create dog and paws paintings and will contribute 50 per cent of the sales of her artwork during the canoe and kayak challenge to Boots 4 Pups.

Once participants finish their four-kilometre loop along the river route, organizers will begin eyeing next year. The goal is to grow the Memorial Cup Challenge in the future.

“Next year we’ll make it bigger and better,” Boucher said.

The Memorial Cup Challenge is open to everyone.

For details or to register, go to boots4pups.ca, or rideau-

Registration is $20 and people can sign up to participate the day of the event on Oct. 1, beginning at 1 p.m.

Just days after their return from Rio, a group of seven Paralympians who were part of Team Canada got one helluva homecoming thanks to some Nepean elementary students and CIBC.

I was glad my sister Audrey decided she didn’t have time to spend with me going through the Eaton’s catalogue.

I looked around the kitchen. From where I sat at the other end of the table, I saw Father in the rocking chair as usual, with his feet up on a cushion on the oven door.

My sister Audrey was at the old treadle Singer sewing machine trying her best to make a blouse out of a cotton dress that had come in the hand-me-down box from Aunt Lizzie in Regina.

It was important that I place everyone in the kitchen that night, because I was out to prove what my friend Velma said was, in fact, true.

She said mothers had this rare talent where they

could see everything going on around them, without turning their heads or raising their eyes from whatever they were doing. I had long since ruled out that Mother had eyes in the back of her head like my brother Emerson swore up and down was a fact! Having examined her head carefully on more than one occasion, I knew this was just another one of my brother’s crazy ideas.

I was more inclined to believe my friend Velma, who was devoutly religious,

a Lutheran, and said God had given mothers this special talent, so that they could keep everyone in line without as much as actually seeing them in action. That night, I was determined to see if Velma had her facts straight.

My three brothers were playing Old Maid at the bake table and that meant trouble. I knew it wouldn’t take long before there would be a roaring-eyed fight, like there was just about every night. Earl said Emerson was cheating. Everett yelled, “Ya, cheating.” And then it happened right before my eyes! Mother didn’t look up from the diary she was working on and said to Emerson, “Put that card back in the deck, young man, or you’re off to bed.” She hadn’t as much as raised an eyebrow!

And then she asked Audrey to get Father’s pipe off

his chest because it was just about to burn a hole in his plaid shirt. And she didn’t even turn her head! Well, that tore it for me. I couldn’t wait to get to school the next day to tell Velma she was absolutely right. Mothers did have this talent for knowing what was going on

room with her, I would try my utmost to have the purest of thoughts in my head.

And I wondered if, when I grew up, I too would have the rare talent of knowing exactly what was going on around me without benefit of raising an eyebrow, just because I too, had become a

without as much as raising an eyebrow. And they didn’t have eyes in the back of their heads either!

And I started to wonder if just maybe Mother could tell what I was thinking too. That thought scared the daylights out of me and I made up my mind that whenever I was in the same

Robbery squad hunting masked suspect after two motels hit

BY Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

A masked bandit armed with a handgun is alleged to have robbed two motels within a 45-minute period in an east-end industrial park and in Kanata.

Now police are turning to the public for help in identifying the lone male suspect, who police say first entered a motel in the 1200-block of Michael St., east of the St. Laurent Shopping Centre, on Sept. 24 at about 11:30 p.m.

“The suspect entered brandishing a handgun and made a demand for cash,” Staff Sgt. Michael Haarbosch, head of the police robbery unit, said in a Sept. 27 statement.

The masked intruder was given an undisclosed amount of cash before moving on.

“Investigators believe a vehicle was parked nearby,” Haarbosh said.

Ottawa Police/Submitted

Ottawa police are appealing for help identifying a male suspect who allegedly robbed two motels, one in Kanata and the other in Ottawa’s east end.

Forty-five minutes later at around 12:15 a.m., the same lone male suspect went into a motel in the 200-block of Hearst Way in Kanata’s Katimavik neighbourhood.

Also in similar fashion to the

RE/MAX HALLMARK REALTY LTD., BRoKERAgE

first robbery, the suspect was armed with a handgun and demanded cash.

“Witnesses report seeing the suspect flee to a white vehicle described as possibly being a two-door Nissan,” said Haarbosch, adding the vehicle had a noticeably loud muffler. No one was injured in either incident.

“It is unclear at this time if the suspect acted alone of if he had a driver in the vehicle that assisted,” he said.

The suspect is described as Caucasian, with a slim to medium build, between 5-foot-8 and six-feet tall. He was seen wearing dark jeans, a black-hooded ‘Ecko Unltd’ sweater or jacket with a red rhino emblem on the left shoulder. He was also wore a mask.

Anyone with information is asked to call the robbery unit at 613-236-1222, ext. 5116, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477.

Most hockey parents can remember their child’s very first day at the rink, their first jersey, their first coach.

Memories usually include an oversized jersey, sometimes TimBits-branded, reaching down to the kindergarten-aged player’s knees.

For some players on the Special Hockey Heroes team, now in their second year, those firsts came a little bit later in their youth.

Stittsville’s Derek Beevor, 18, grew up dreaming of being a hockey goalie, but the teen with pervasive developmental disorder was afraid of the skates and getting on the ice.

The first time his dad Dave took him to watch a special hockey practice for players with disabilities, Derek said no. It wasn’t the first time his father had tried to get him to try out hockey.

practice, he fell. All the other players gathered around him, hugging him, and helped him up.

“It was somewhat overwhelming because of the fact he was realizing his dream,” Dave said.

The Special Hockey Heroes play primarily at the Minto Skating Centre, with police officers and volunteers as coaches — while they must bring a parent or guardian to each ice session, no parents are volunteer coaches. The team is supported by the Ottawa Police Association.

So parents such as Dave and his wife Pauline are free to cheer in the stands, where they wore matching Special Hockey Heroes jerseys and encouraged their son during the first day of the season on Sept. 24.

Now in his second season with the Special Hockey Heroes, Derek plays goalie, enjoys hanging out with his teammates, and will often help with the younger players, even letting them sneak in a goal.

Before he started playing hockey, he would have struggled with the social skills to realize that letting a younger play score on him would be a nice thing to do as an older player — or even meeting a new person, and going up to introduce himself.

See SPECIAL, page 53

Special Hockey Heroes is ‘magic on ice’: head coach Continued from page 52

“There’s no government program out there that can give a kid what (Special Hockey Heroes has),” Dave said. “It could never come close to what this has done for him.”

His mom, Pauline, said it has been a joy watching Derek get to follow his passion.

“I really love it,” Derek said.

“The coaches are really nice, I’m really excited to play.”

Derek said a highlight was when the team went down to Rochester, NY, last year to play in a hockey tournament.

Playing in front of a crowd of fans against another team was “really wonderful,” Derek said.

All the coaches volunteer their time, despite not having a child of their own on the team.

“How can you not enjoy 41 kids and the magic on ice every week?” said Jeff Kelly, a retired police officer from Or-

léans who serves as the team’s head coach. “Smiling is contagious here. Trust me — this is as good for the us as it is for the kids.”

Pam Parent said it took a friend six months to convince her that her son Ryan, now 16, who has a developmental disability, should come out and play hockey. Now, he’s an eager player, who also enjoys the golf tournaments, end of year party, and everything associated with the team.

“We haven’t looked back,” Pam said. “It’s not just the hockey that’s been life changing for us, it’s the other things they do throughout the year as well.”

Anyone would be hard pressed to find someone happier, and more likely to be smiling than Ryan, who lives with his family in the Leitrim area, and loves the Ottawa 67s — he dons the number 67 in their honour.

On the first day back, Ryan was thrilled when Kelly officially called out the number and name of each of the players through a megaphone.

Each player will also get a chance throughout the year to be captain for the day.

“It’s just so good for him getting to have those achievements,” Pam said. “What coach Jeff and his family have done is life-changing.”

The coaches try to make the experience mirror the NHL as much as possible for the kids, with matching tracksuits, hockey cards, and new this year: an official mascot.

They’ll play exhibition matches through the year against local teams or adult groups of first responders, and travel to Watertown, NY, to play.

“I think it’s really special that (parents) see their kids are so talented, and what they can achieve when given the opportunity,” Kelly said.

Vintage ferris wheel and merry go round at Saunders Farm

BY JOHN CURRY

john.curry@metroland.com

It’s a trip back in time that you and your family will want to take.

And you will be able to do it at this year’s Haunting Season at Saunders Farm in Munster which got underway last Saturday, Sept.

24 and will now continue through until Monday, Oct. 31 which is Halloween.

It’s a trip back to a 1930’s era carnival that features a 1917 Eli Bridge No. 5 ferris wheel and a 1938 Allen Herschell three-abreast wooden carousel (merry go round).

Both of these glow with lights, a visual attraction you don’t want to miss.

In addition, there’s a high striker as well as other classic games and an antique truck which is the stage for entertainment performances.

But there’s more. There’s also the Big Top Fun House, a large white tent filled with family friendly attractions featuring interactive experiences suitable for a younger audience. This clownthemed Big Top Fun House, though, has a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde personality because when darkness falls, it becomes the Big Top Fear House, becoming Saunders Farm’s sixth “fright site.”

All of this – the ferris wheel, the carousel, the high striker, the antique truck and the Big Top Fun House are all close together in one area of Saunders Farm, accessed by walking through a vintage facade gate identifying it as the home of a “Carnivale.”

Mark Saunders, Director of Fun at Saunders Farm, says that this carnival attraction at the Farm this Haunting Season has been set up to convey that 1930’s vintage feel of a carnival. There are even giant carnival banners enclosing the area to add to this vintage feel.

As to whether this vintage carnival will become a regular attraction at Saunders Farm, that remains to be seen

depending on feedback from this year’s Haunting Season and other considerations.

So that’s another reason to make that trip to Saunders Farm for this year’s Haunting Season and enjoy the ferris wheel, carousel and other carnival attractions now. It may not be there in the future and you don’t want to miss this fun trip back into the carnival times of the 1930’s.

And while you are there, you will be able to visit not only the Big Top Fun House alias the Big Top Fear House in the evening but also the other five “fright sites” at Saunders Farm – the Haunted Hayride, the Barn of Terror, Shambles, the Graveyard and Camp Slaughter.

Hours of operation at Saunders Farm for this year’s Haunting Season have been extended to 11 p.m. on both Friday and Saturday nights.

This is the 25th anniversary year for the Haunting Season at Saunders Farm, with the first Haunting Season happening in 1992.

Haunting Season this year runs through to Halloween on Monday, Oct. 31.

Ticket prices and hours of operation are available at the Saunders Farm website at www.SaundersFarm.com.

Saunders Farm at Munster tries to provide a space that offers fun, food and memories for everyone, attracting tens of thousands of visitors each year.

Between April and September, Saunders Farm hosts its Mazes Season which features the world’s largest collection of hedge mazes and labyrinths. During this time, Saunders Farm hosts birthday parties, farm camps, farm dinners, weddings and corporate fundraising and team building events.

In late September and October, it’s Haunting Season at Saunders Farm which features haunted attractions, live performances and farm fresh foods. Saunders Farm employs over 220 staff during Haunting Season to deliver fun and “frights” to its visitors.

Hazeldean Gardens retirement home underway

BY JOHN CURRY

john.curry@metroland.com

There was no sod to turn last Saturday, Sept. 24 on the paved and gravelled former Stittsville Flea Market site that will be home to the new Hazeldean Gardens retirement residence.

But this was not a setback as the “sod turning” or more appropriately the “launch” of the new facility went ahead with a big yellow backhoe parked on the site, complete with a yellow bow tied to it, to serve as a backdrop for the launch ceremony. And a symbolic shovel which was used as a prop at the ceremony also featured a yellow bow matching the one on the backhoe.

Taking part in this launch ceremony were city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri, Wit Lewandowski who is president of Hazeldean Gardens, Murray Jackson who is president of Eastridge Management Services which will manage the facility in partnership with Mr. Lewandowski, and Allan Jackson who is president of Capital Commercial Investment, a partner in Hazeldean Gardens.

In his remarks prior to the official launch ceremony, Murray Jackson told the more than 75 people in attendance at the site on the sunny, warm day that the new Hazeldean Gardens retirement residence will be one of the finest such facilities in Eastern Ontario.

He noted that those involved with the locally owned family business that is constructing the facility and will be operating it has over 15 years experience in the business, having built and operate two other retirement residences – Rideau Gardens in Ottawa and Quinte Gardens in Belleville.

He said that Hazeldean Gardens, which is slated to open in the early spring of 2018, will be a full service residence offering a continuum of care from independent living to a range of assisted care, allowing residents to “age in place” by accessing higher levels of care as their needs change.

Public Meetings All public meetings will be held at Ottawa City Hall, 110 Laurier Avenue West, unless otherwise noted.

5K run/walk in support of Mark Youths! Adults! Seniors!

Earn Extra Money!

Yakabuski and his family

BY JOHN CURRY

john.curry@metroland.com

You can participate in a 5K run/walk this Sunday, Oct. 2 to support Stittsville resident Mark Yakabuski and his family.

Mark suffered a spinal cord injury in a golf cart accident on Saturday, May 21.

He is expected to leave the rehab facility in October to return home to Stittsville to his family and friends.

This 5K run/walk is being held this Sunday, Oct. 2 with the route going through the Kanata North Tech Park.

The starting location will be at the KRP Community Hub near Legget Drive and Solandt Road just off March Road in Kanata. Check in will start at 8 a.m. with a warm up and words of welcome at 9:45 a.m., followed by the 5K run, with runners hitting trhe course at 10 a.m., followed by slower runners and walkers at 10:10 a.m.

Following the run, there will be a BBQ, face painting, a bouncer for kids and music until 1 p.m.

This is being planned as an event for those of all ages – families, adults, children and teams. Everyone is welcome to participate.

Registration fees are $15

for those 13 years and under, $40 for those 14 years and older and $15 per team member for sports teams or groups of ten or more.

All those who register will receive a limited edition 2016 Run Yakstrong t-shirt.

Donations will also be collected at the event with all funds raised going directly to the Yakstrong fundraising efforts.

You can register or make a donation by visiting www. yakstrong.com.

Yakstrong was created as a symbol of support for Mark and his family as they deal with this difficult situation in their lives. A logo featuring two crossed hockey sticks and the wording “YAK Strong” has been developed as it reflects Mark’s passion for the game of hockey, both as a player and as a coach.

Funds are going to be continued to be raised through www.yakstrong.com via yakstrong swag such as t-shirts, ball caps and rubber bracelets and donations, future events and fundraising.

An initial fundraiser was held last June 25 at the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena in Stittsville which proved extremely successful, showing the huge amount of support that is

out in the community for Mark and his family. This support is a reflection of the impact that both Mark and April Yakabuski have had on so many in the community.

Right now attention is being directed to the costs related to Mark returning home from the rehab facility.

These costs are very high so financial support from the community is essential so that Mark’s family does not have to worry about the cost but can focus on what matters most, family and Mark’s recovery.

This 5K run on Sunday, Oct. 2 will be raising funds to help with these ongoing costs as Mark recovers from his injury.

Mark Yakabuski, a father of three, has been involved with the Stittsville Minor Hockey Association for the past ten years. In the 20152016 season, he was coach of the competitive Major Peewee team.

Mark himself played in the Central Junior Hockey League with both Brockville and Kanata and later went on to play with the Ottawa 67’s. He has also played in the Stittsville Town Hockey League of which his brother Matt, also a Stittsville resident, is the current president.

Gates go up at Prince of Wales Bridge

BY MELISSA MURRAY mmurray@metroland.com

Gates blocking access to the Prince of Wales Bridge were damaged less than 24 hours after city crews installed them. Since then private security has been posted nearby.

When news of the city’s plan to erect gates at the entrances to the Prince of Wales Bridge came to light this summer, residents opposed the initial price tag of $250,000, and protested barring access to the bridge.

The city was contacted by Transport Canada to say it was not properly securing the bridge.

To address those concerns, the city has spent about $46,000 on chain-link fences, new signs and repairs, which will be paid for through the initial budget, according to Carina Duclos, a city manager of municipal design and construction.

Aileen Duncan, an organizer of the Ottawa Rail

MELISSA MURRAY/METROLAND

The City of Ottawa has paid $46,000 for chain-link fence gates at both ends of the Prince of Wales Bridge. The first day the gates went up they were vandalized, so security was added.

Bridge project and a recent picnic on the bridge, said she was disappointed to see it

fenced off and the city move so quickly to bar access.

“It seems pre-emptive,”

won’t have to install a more permanent and secure fence, wasting more city funds.

she said in a recent interview.

She’s hoping the gates will be sufficient and the city

Duncan had mixed feelings about the vandalized fence, noting while it shows the community’s commitment to keeping access open, it could also increase the cost and force the city to take more extreme measures.

Initial cost estimates to bar access to the Prince of Wales Bridge, located west of LeBreton Flats, was in the range of $250,000.

“I’m pleased they reduced the original budget,” she said.

With the question of liability out of the way, Duncan is hoping the city will move forward with a plan for how the bridge can be used in the future.

She said if the city continues with its plan to use the bridge for commuter rail, following Stage 2 of LRT, she doesn’t want to see it closed off, unused for the next decade. Instead, she’s working with an architect to get renderings of the bridge to determine what repairs are needed now and how the bridge can be used for cyclists and pedestrians in the meantime.

City spends $46,000 on Prince of Wales Bridge gates Continued from page 64

But Kitchissippi Coun.

Jeff Leiper is siding with Mayor Jim Watson, saying it doesn’t make sense to sink money into the bridge when it will be a wasted investment later down the line when the bridge is revamped as a rail connection between Ottawa and Gatineau.

“I think the mayor’s view on this is very legitimate,” Leiper said.

“Ideally the solution to people wanting to go on the bridge is to let them go on the bridge, but it is money that the city doesn’t have right now.”

He hopes when plans move forward for the bridge as a rail link, it will include pedestrian and cycling infrastructure.

“Let’s be aspirational for that, but it is off in the future.”

In the meantime, the city has to fulfill its legal obligation to make sure people are not trespassing on the bridge.

While there are calls to make the bridge safe in the meantime, he said it won’t cost just a few hundred thousand dollars for guardrails and wood decking over the tracks. It would take millions to make it fully accessible, with lighting. He said when he talked to staff about a year ago, he was told the bridge also needs structural repairs.

Staff have estimated it would cost $10.5 million to make the bridge a safe cycling and pedestrian route and $20 to $40 million for rail.

With the recent vandalism, Leiper said recurring repairs will start to add up and impact the city’s ability to pay for other things.

He warned if the city’s patience runs out, residents face paying for what he called a “more substantial and impenetrable barrier.”

“Those are resources most taxpayers would agree are better put towards any number of other priorities in the city,” he said.

MELISSA MURRAY/METROLAND

Gates are now up at both ends of the Prince of Wales Bridge, which crosses from Ottawa to Gatineau. The city paid $46,000 for the gates and new signage. Initial estimates had the city spending up to $250,000 on gates.

Alfie celebrates the Canadian way: with hockey

BY SAMMY HUDES

shudes@thestar.ca

For years, Daniel Alfredsson was a lightning rod for jeers in Toronto, each time he took the ice.

But on Tuesday, it was where the Swedish-born longtime Ottawa Senators captain officially made Canada his home — amid cheers — as he and 102 other newcomers became Canadian citizens at the World Cup of Hockey Fan Village.

As the top hockey nations of the globe are gathered in Toronto for the World Cup, the citizenship ceremony marked a celebration of hockey not only as Canada’s favourite pastime, but also as a symbol of Canada’s openness.

“To quote the Canadian national anthem, Canada is hockey’s ‘home and native land,’”said NHL commissioner Gary Bettman. “Canada is the heart and soul of hockey, and hockey is the heart and soul of Canada.”

Bettman, an American, spoke of the history and tradition of the Stanley Cup, the trophy originally crafted in England before being brought to Canada by Lord Stanley.

“Lord Stanley’s legacy reminds us that while the Stanley Cup was not born in Canada, it found a permanent home here,” Bettman said. “We are proud that your first official Canadian moment is also a hockey moment.”

Former hockey starturned broadcaster Cassie Campbell-Pascall presided over the ceremony, encouraging new citizens to get involved in Canadian society through shared loves such as hockey, but also not to forget where they came from.

“I encourage you as newcomers to retain your customs and to share and blend them into the multicultural fabric of this great nation, so we can all benefit,” she said. “Our multiculturalism is what makes us special and

unique.”

Those values are what drove Gurjinder and Shuphra Thind to move to Canada from their home of India. They waited five years to gain Canadian citizenship.

“It’s a multicultural country, so we just wanted to be here because kids get more knowledge about other cultures,” Shuphra said.

They and all others who took their oath of citizenship were given Canadian World Cup of Hockey jerseys as a welcome gift to the country.

The 103 newcomers together sang the national anthem before posing for a photo in their jerseys standing in the formation of a maple leaf.

Alfredsson, originally from Sweden and an advisor to the Swedish World Cup team, said it was special to hear the Canadian anthem for the first time as a Canadian citizen.

“It was a different feeling today, there’s no question.

We knew this was going to be a special day for us, but we

felt comfortable, obviously, with all the hockey references and the national anthem,” said Alfredsson, whose wife, Bibbi, also took the oath of citizenship.

“Usually when I heard (the anthem) over the years, it’s been 90 seconds till puck drop,” he said. “The song I know inside out now, because of all the games we played in the National Hockey League.”

Alfredsson also noted it wasn’t the first time he’s donned the red and white.

“Last time I had a Canadian sweater on, I lost a bet to our owner for the World Juniors,” he said. “It’s a beautiful sweater. I know it means a lot to Canadians …

It’s going to fit nicely with the blue and yellow and the Ottawa jerseys.”

While he’s not used to being celebrated in Toronto, a group of fans dressed in Swedish hockey jerseys made sure to cheer on Alfredsson.

The 43-year-old also signed autographs and shook hands with a handful of Ottawa natives wearing Senators jerseys bearing his name on the back.

“I’ve been up since probably 3 a.m. waiting for this,” said Chris Hogan, a die-hard Senators fan who now lives in Burlington. “I go, ‘Alfie!’ but I was shaking like a leaf … Seriously, my hands are still shaking.”

Donald Fehr, executive director of the NHL Players’ Association, MP Adam Vaughan and Hockey Night

Bernard Weil/Toronto Star

Former Ottawa Senators captain Daniel Alfredsson with his citizenship documents during a ceremony where one hundred new Canadians received their citizenship at the World Cup of Hockey Fan Village. in Canada host Ron MacLean were also on hand to welcome the newest Canadians.

Bettman called Alfredsson the “consummate ambassador for the game both on and off the ice.”

“He actually represents a perfect melding of Canada and hockey,” said Bettman.

“It’s terrific that he’s decided

this is to be his home.”

But despite what he called the “honour” of taking part in the ceremony, the NHL commissioner said he had no plans to take the oath of citizenship north of the border, himself.

“I’m not planning to relocate any time soon, but I’ll keep it in mind,” Bettman quipped.

Police arrest two men in Kijiji sale robberies Suspects arrested in Nepean after robbing two people in one night Staff

Police have arrested two men in connection with recent robberies that started with the sale of cell phones through Kijiji, an online classified advertising service.

On Sept. 19 at 8:40 p.m., the first victim met two men on Gallantry Way in Stittsville in order to sell a cell phone advertised on Kijiji.

After the two suspects arrived in a vehicle, the victim met them at the curbside and handed the phone to the passenger so he could inspect it. At that point, the suspects drove off with the phone, dragging the victim for a short distance.

The victim sustained minor

injuries, was treated in hospital and has since been released.

The same night, around 9:30 p.m., a second male victim met two suspects in a parking lot on Crestway Drive near Standherd Drive to sell a cell phone.

Again, the meeting was arranged using Kijiji.

One suspect exited the vehicle to inspect the phone and assaulted the victim with a knife.

The victim sustained a minor injury and the suspects then fled the scene.

The victim was able to describe the vehicle – a white Audi A4 with Quebec licence plates – to police, and a short time later, a patrol officer stopped the vehicle on Longfields Drive and took the two suspects into

• Attend with a second person, and consider leaving your item or cash in a vehicle or with the other person as you assess the credibility of the other party.

• Sellers should always arrange to speak with the potential buyer over the phone ahead of the meet up. If something seems suspicious, walk away.

• It's up to the seller to choose the location. The buyer should never dictate the terms.

At the meeting, write down the licence plate number of any vehicle the other person arrives in.

Should you become the victim of a similar robbery, police recommend these steps: • Do not resist your attackers – they may be armed and this could lead to serious injury or death.

• Try and memorize their faces, clothing and licence plates if they leave in vehicles.

• Report the incident to police as soon as possible.

Stittsville Lions to hold ‘White Cane Day’

Special hockey heroeS nd 2 Annual Golf Tournament

BY JOHN CURRY

john.curry@metroland.com

Members of the Stittsville District Lions Club will be at both Brown’s Your Independent Grocer and at Giant Tiger in Stittsville this Saturday, Oct. 1 raising funds for the Canadian National Institute for the Blind (CNIB).

The Lions Club members will be providing “white cane pins” in return for donations to the CNIB. The Lions members will be at Brown’s Your Independent Grocer on Stittsville Main Street this Saturday, Oct. 1 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Lions members will be at Giant Tiger in the Jackson Trails Centre plaza at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Hazeldean Road from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

CNIB is a registered charity providing community-based support to Canadians who are blind or partially sighted.

Each year Canadians who are blind or partially sighted receive almost one million hours of support from CNIB. It is estimated that every minute, three Canadians turn to CNIB seeking information and support to overcome the challenges of vision loss.

CNIB was founded in 1918 to serve veterans returning home blind from World War One. CNIB today employs about 850 professionals across Canada, working in the fields of rehabilitation services and support, library services, research, advocacy, public education, accessible design consulting, fundraising and administration.

This staff is supported by more than 10,000 volunteers.

Lions Clubs like the Stittsville District Lions Club have had a long commitment to help the blind and visually impaired, ever since Helen Keller challenged Lions to become involved in helping the blind and visually impaired.

As our golf committee planned the Special Hockey Heroes golf tournament on August 11th, 2016, at the Pineview Golf Course, I can tell you we were skeptical as to whether it would be a successful event.

Our purpose was to share with the community our story, and give everyone an opportunity to see the magic of these athletes.

It was also our way to say thank you to so many kind people who helped every step of the way in creating the magic on ice.

When we look back and see how the many of you stepped up for our golf day and participating, it was very overwhelming. To see our registration numbers grow rapidly to an almost sell out in the final three weeks of preparation, showed us that kindness and belief in our journey was alive and well.

Partnering with the Ottawa Police Association in itself brings instant credibility. Being 100% non-profit, volunteer based as defined, with no salaries or honorariums to anyone is something we are very proud off.

All monies associated to this golf tournament goes right back to the program. It allows us to make our players look and feel like their NHL idols. None of this happens without you and your help.

We are hopeful that your experience was exceptional, and that you have circled August 10th, 2017, on your calendar for next year, and will once again show your support of the Special Hockey Heroes. We would love to have you back. Teamwork is everything. I encourage all of you to have a peek at our web page, and better yet, drop by on a Saturday, Minto skating center, and see the magic on ice you have contributed to. Our volunteers within the team know what I am talking about, seeing It weekly.

On behalf of everyone at SHH, sincere thanks for your kindness and believing in us. The tournament was a success, and raised $26,712.00. It will be another special year for the team. www.specialhockeyheroes.com

This week’s puzzle answers in next week’s issue

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, certain feelings may not be easy to convey, but try to find the words this week. It’s important to let your feelings be known, and others are waiting on you to speak up.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, coworkers respond favorably to a proposal you worked hard on.

Allow this professional momentum to pay dividends outside of the office as well.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, mixed signals lead to a bit of confusion. It’s nothing you can’t handle if you backtrack and remedy the original situation, just provide yourself ample time to set things right.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Be extra sensitive to the plights or concerns of others this week, Cancer.

Some around you could benefit from some empathy and understanding.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, now might be a great time to take a step back and enjoy a little breathing room. Look at things from a different perspective, and you might be amazed at your new outlook.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, many things in your life are vying for your attention. It’s difficult to choose just one, but you will have to do so this week. If necessary, reach out to a friend for assistance.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, your values and those of a loved one may clash from time to time.

Some polite and intelligent discourse might be just what the doctor ordered this week.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Reactions come swiftly and strongly this week, Scorpio. You either love or hate something, and things may be very black and white in your world in the days ahead.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, try to separate your personal life from your professional activities this week. This may require being a little more quiet and introspective than usual, but do your best.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, let your feelings be heard if you feel underappreciated by someone close to you this week. Your loved one will appreciate your honesty and welcome your insight.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 A meaningful conversation with the right person may occur this week, Aquarius. It could mean a step in the right direction for you and help to further your career.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, your emotions are so strong this week that you may feel alienated from those closest to you. If so, make an effort to stay connected.
