Police seize vehicle wanted in Centrum shooting BY NEVIL HUNT

Police have seized a vehicle they believe was used in a Sept. 14 drive-by shooting at the Kanata Centrum. And they say the intended targets of that

shooting have been identified. Two innocent bystanders were injured in that shooting, which took place outside the Crazy Horse restaurant shortly after the bars closed at 2 a.m. At least 17 rounds were fired, striking two men who police say were not

the intended targets. The two men – aged 22 and 28 – suffered non-lifethreatening injuries. Soon after the gun violence, police asked for assistance in finding a white Jeep Cherokee, and Insp. Mark Patterson of the guns and gangs unit now

Police say home invasion possible case of wrong address targeted Continued from page 1

However, he provided further details during a public meeting hosted by Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson on Oct. 2. “We know who the intended targets were,” Patterson said. “We knew they were in that bar (but only) after the fact.” Patterson said the bar staff and other members of the community have been very helpful in assisting police in the investigation. “We’re very thankful for

that,” he said. “People in the community have been coming forward with information.” He said the bar provided video footage from inside and outside the building, and that proved to be important evidence. HOME INVASION

On Sept. 11, two men armed with guns and dressed as construction workers forced their way into a home in the Arcadia community, where they restrained the homeowner and stole hand-

bags. Police say the suspects may have gone to the wrong address. Insp. Mark Laviolette provided an update on the case at the same Oct. 2 meeting. “Home invasions are generally very targeted,” he said. “They are frequently part of the illicit drug trade.” He said, because they are targeted, “you don't need to be fearful that when you’re watching TV someone will kick down your door.” “One theory we’re working on is that this (Sept. 11 incident) was a wrong address.”

SWARMING

Laviolette said an arrest has been made following an Aug. 2 swarming on March Road, near Klondike Road. “We’re still investigating, but a suspect – a 14-year-old – has been charged,” he said. “We believe we can link him to several other similar swarmings in several parts of the city.” He said swarmings are often

crimes of opportunity – after valuables are observed – and that they happen across the city. Laviolette said cellphones and cash are the most common targets in a swarming, and should not be displayed in public. He suggested people walking stay aware of their surroundings, noting that someone wearing headphones may

be unaware of people approaching them. Representatives of Crime Stoppers and Neighbourhood Watch provided tips during the meeting at the Mlacak Centre. Kanata is home to 28 Neighbourhood Watch groups, said Vic McNabney. Those interested in forming a watch in their community can contact him at 613-236-1222, ext. 2001. Anyone with information about the above cases, can call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477. The service is anonymous.

Kanata swarming linked to spree in south Ottawa Ottawa police urge victims of similar unreported crimes to come forward their cash and cellphones on July 22 and Aug. 3 and 7 in South Keys, Elmvale Acres, Hunt Club Park, Greenboro and Findlay Creek. “We had reason to believe that one or more of these suspects had gone beyond the initial area that we were looking at that we had reports about in

began analyzing old cases dating back three months to ferret out any missing links. That led to another development: a 14-year-old previously arrested for the July 22 crime has now been charged in connection with a summer swarm-

of his wallet, said police. They fled the scene in a lightcoloured, four-door vehicle. The victim wasn’t injured in the altercation. A 14-year-old boy turned himself in to police on Sept. 20. He was previously charged with robbery, kidnapping, forcible confinement and conspiracy, as well as breaching probation and overcoming resistance to render someone unconscious. His new charges include robbery and another count of breach of probation. He is scheduled to appear in youth court again, this time on Oct. 3. “It was us revisiting it with the victim, and then putting together enough evidence to lay the charge,” Haarbosch said of fitting the Kanata crime in with the crime wave. The description of the vehicle used in the March Road case also caught the attention of police, since a similar vehicle was used in each of the others in south Ottawa. See POLICE, page 5

Police look to identify fifth suspect connected to August swarming Continued from page 4

Ottawa Police Service/Submitted

The Ottawa police robbery unit is turning to the public for help in identifying a person of interest who may be connected to a string of swarmings in which teens were kidnapped and robbed in south Ottawa. Investigators say the crimes are linked to a fourth in Kanata.

“That and the fact there were multiple suspects involved in that file, as well,” Haarbosch added. The investigative team is also trying to identify a fifth suspect connected to the Aug. 7 crime, who may or may not be a person of interest. He was spotted on a surveillance camera at a south Ottawa bank branch with other swarming suspects who used a stolen bank card on Aug. 8. He is described by police as an 18-year-old olive-skinned man with facial hair. He was wearing large, black-framed prescription eyeglasses. The swarming spree and the level of violence demonstrated by such young men, and the fact the crimes happened rapidly, one after the other, surprised investigators. “Some of these are among the most serious charges

his cellphone was snatched. In another incident, a teen said he was ordered into a car in Findlay Creek and forced to rob a convenience store at knifepoint. Investigators are urging anyone who was the victim of a similar crime that has not yet been reported to contact the robbery unit. Police say there are at least three more unidentified victims because of the cellphones they seized during their investigation. That message urging victims to come forward was initially reserved for those living in the south end of the city. That has changed with the

there are in the Criminal Code. When you talk about robbery, kidnapping, forcible confinement — those are very significant and serious charges,” Haarbosch said in a previous interview with Metroland Media. “When you start to apply those to people who are 14 and 16 years old, that’s disturbing.” In the first reported south Ottawa case, a teen got into a car with other teens he had arranged to meet. He was robbed and repeatedly assaulted. In another case, a teen was forced into a car and was choked, stabbed in the leg and

fourth swarming in Kanata. “I think it’s now important that that message is also delivered to people in the west end of the city, that if they’ve been the victim of something like this with a similar M.O. — that light-coloured vehicle, multiple suspects, that we have those phones — if they haven’t reported it, they need to give us a call,” Haarbosch said. Anyone with information on these cases is asked to contact the robbery unit by calling 613-236-1222, ext. 5116, or call Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-2228477.

Time to remove the bubble wrap

n elementary school in Ontario made headlines across the country for its move to ban cartwheels on school property. A draft handbook of playground rules at M.T. Davidson Public School, in Callander, states that the popular kids’ gymnastics activity is on the no-play list for the 2017-18 school year. “The activity can cause concussions, and neck and wrist injuries,” principal Todd Gibbon told media outlets. He confirmed, however, the rules were not being implemented in response to an actual event. In other words, no one had ever been harmed during a cartwheel on the school yard. It’s the latest in a slew of ridiculous rules imposed by organizations to prevent kids from taking risks of any kind. In Ottawa, where winters are long and cold, playground structures are generally out-ofbounds for up to five months of the year. In 2010, a group of local kids made headlines when they launched a petition to reverse a rule at D. Roy Kennedy Public School which banned balls on the playground in winter months.

is extraordinary,” he says. “First, and intuitive to most people, if kids aren’t moving as much, their hearts, muscles and bones aren’t as strong.” Tremblay notes that while organized sport has emerged to take the place of free play, far more injuries occur within structured activities, yet without the holistic health benefits of free outdoor play. By keeping kids indoors, always structured, often on screens, we are conditioning them to be risk-averse or paranoid of the basic things in life, he notes. As screen time displaces social time, we’re also severely limiting interactions with other humans. By restricting kids’ opportunities to find and solve challenges, we are raising generations of adults who have difficulty managing emotions, are prone to anxiety and other mental disorders and are often incapable of problemsolving. “The more we restrict and confine what people can do in the outdoors, the more we restrict the possible learning that can be done, the experiences children can have, the tools they can add to the toolbox to be creative, problem-solving adults,” says Tremblay.

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse We live in an age where soccer posts are wrapped in rubber mats and daycares ban scarves. Kids don’t go outside if it’s too hot, too cold, too sunny or too wet. Snowball fights are definitely on the no-no list. Dr. Mark Tremblay, director of healthy active living and obesity research at CHEO, says he was disappointed but not surprised when he read the news about the cartwheel ban. “This fear of litigation and the sterilization of play that has permeated our society, I’m not sure anything would surprise me anymore,” says Tremblay. He notes, however, that despite best intentions from school authorities, community organizations and parents around “keeping kids safe,” we are doing more harm than good by restricting chilTo the editor,

dren’s access to free, outdoor play. “In any other aspect of our lives – take finances for example – we would do a cost-benefit analysis before making any decisions,” says Tremblay. “But when it comes to something like banning cartwheels, we only look at one side of the equation, which is the potential risk, without balancing the positive.” “What good might come out of kids doing cartwheels? Maybe they’ll have fun, maybe they’ll have an opportunity to develop better motor skills, maybe they’ll get stronger.” Tremblay notes that in our efforts to keep kids safe by keeping them indoors, we are inadvertently having a negative impact on their physical, social and emotional health. “The physical health impact Six months ago, I sent a letter to her office, asking her why she voted in favour of Bill M-103 especially in light of the fact that, Ms. Iqra Khalid, who presented the motion, has continually refused to define the term, “Islamophobia.” Without a definition, the term remains highly ambiguous.

I am still waiting for a response to my question. Telling people to feel free to contact your office is a nice gesture. Actually responding to your constituents’ concerns or questions would actually be a nicer gesture. Patrick Mascoe Kanata

Library should be porn free

he Ottawa Public Library is funded handsomely by taxpayers not only to be a publicly-accessible repository of information and other resources but also to be a representative beacon of pride for the municipality. That’s why, for example, there’s a push to have an impressive new central library branch, to be a symbol of all that is good and prideful about the city. But how can anyone take much pride in a public library that places its theoretical status as the defender of intellectual freedom ahead of ensuing a safe environment for its patrons, especially its youthful ones? It may have been that at one time the public library had to be the defender of intellectual freedom, providing unrestricted access to the information of which it was virtually the sole source. But things have changed — the public library is now only one of the, and indeed not even the major, gatekeepers of information. Its traditional role has been overtaken by Google and the internet in general. So, why does the Ottawa Public Library’s adherence to intellectual freedom take precedence over its role as a supporter and upholder

of public morals? This makes no sense. Instead of only tweaking its policy regarding the viewing of pornography and other obnoxious subjects, the Ottawa Public Library should have opted to totally block all pornography and other offensive material, putting the interests of patrons first. The viewing of pornography, whether legal or not, is not an appropriate activity in a public place. It’s that simple! But, instead, the Ottawa Public Library still places the onus for public morality and standards on the shoulders of each and every patron. A complaint has to be lodged before any action is taken to police pornography. We should expect more from a publiclyfunded institution like the Ottawa Public Library. We should expect leadership that eliminates all blatantly offensive material. We should have a child-friendly library, not an X-rated library. And if this infringes a little on that sacred cow of freedom of information, so be it. There are lots of sources of information in today’s social media world. Unfortunately, there’s not a lot of sources of public morality and behaviour. The Ottawa Public Library should be one, but unfortunately it has shown it is not.

Here we go again on Sparks Street

f you had a nickel for every time somebody tried to fix the Sparks Street mall you’d have more than a few dollars by now. And it begins again. Another nickel. Another consultant hired to study the street and figure out how to make it better. Mayor Jim Watson says he’s serious about this. Well, people have always been serious. They were serious when the pedestrian mall began in 1967. They were serious when they put up statues, then took them down, when they put odd structures in the middle of the street then got rid of them, when they experimented with markets, when they agonized over buskers, when they suggested maybe putting traffic back on, and then withdrew the suggestion. Most people recognize the main source of the problem: not enough

And Sparks Street is competing, as it always has, with the Rideau Centre, which scooped up a number of Sparks Street stores and a lot of Sparks Street customers when it opened in 1983.

Still, other North American cities have faced similar difficulties and pedestrian malls have thrived in other cities. Ottawa has taken a few ideas from elsewhere, but these are mostly gimmicks — mini-festivals of one sort or another: ribs, poutine, etc. Nice stuff, but you can’t run them every day. What does Sparks Street need? Something visually striking: a really great fountain, perhaps, that people could hang out around. Something permanent and interesting: a museum —hey, what about the portrait gallery? Some distinctive retail: stores that can’t be found in any shopping centre in the city. Or, more generally, something that no one has thought of yet — a bold piece of entrepreneurship that makes up for all the years of dullness and caution. In the long run, help may be on the way. More bars and restaurants are open on the mall. More residential construction is promised for the area.

In the even longer run, Sparks Street may receive some positive spinoff when LeBreton Flats is completed and more people come downtown for hockey games and other LeBreton events. Those people might be looking for something fun to do before or after. Will Sparks Street be ready for them?

Road cushions slow speeds on Knudson Kanata street sees 16 km/h reduction BY JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Speed cushions on Knudson Drive have curbed much of the speeding on the street, according to data collected by the city. The stretch of eastbound Knudson, between Shaughnessy and Goulding crescents, saw the largest decrease in speed. Before the 11 road humps were installed, data showed the average speed as 50 kilometres-per-hour, while 85 per cent of drivers were clocked at 56 km/h. After the installation, the average speed dropped to

Wook Kang, co-ordinator of area traffic management, in an email provided by Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson’s office. The city doesn’t usually allow speed cushions on collector roads – defined as principal streets used by residents, commercial vehicles, transit and school buses, as well as cyclists and pedestrians – because they can make it difficult for emergency vehicles and buses. The speed humps on Knudson were designed with large gaps to allow the wheelbase of large vehicles to drive through the spaces, although it does present a

Many long collector roads have that problem, she said, adding she has several in her ward on a list to be studied, including Klondike Road. “(The city) has enough money to do maybe two (roads), occasionally three,” Wilkinson said. “It takes a long time to get it done, but Knudson was bad enough it made it to the top of the list.” When the city was studying speed data back in 2013, it found only two per cent of motorists followed the posted speed limit of 40 km/h, while some were clocked going 70 km/h and higher.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETINGS – ROUND 2

YOW 2038 – Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport (YOW) Master Plan Update

Safe injection site open BY NEVIL HUNT

The Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport (YOW) is updating the Airport Master Plan (last updated in 2008).

WHAT IS AN AIRPORT MASTER PLAN?

The Airport Master Plan establishes a strategy to address your airport’s future by creating a 20-year development framework (to 2038) that will ensure the best use of YOW’s fundamental resource – land. The YOW 2038 Master Plan will identify how:    

the needs of stakeholders and the communities we serve will be met in the future; growth in passenger, aircraft, and cargo volumes will be accommodated; the longer-term viability of the airport will be supported; and the airport’s key strategic objectives will be achieved.

WHY IS THE AIRPORT UPDATING THE MASTER PLAN?

Transport Canada requires the airport to update its Master Plan every 10 years. The Master Plan assists airport management in making informed decisions about the timing and estimate d costs of future improvements, action plans, and preferred development solutions.

PUBLIC MEETINGS - ROUND 2 (OTTAWA AND GATINEAU)

The first round of public meetings was heldin July 2017 to introduce the Master Plan update. The Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport Authority invites you to attend the secondround of public meetings to review and provide input on the Airport’s PreferredLand Use Plan which maps land use designations and identifies where andhow future growth and development of the airport lands will occur over the next 20 years. The Land Use Plan was last updated in 2008. Proposed key changes include:   

The designation of a section of land adjacent to the existing terminal building andparkade structure will be changed to “Commercial Aviation/Non-Aviation Employment Area” to reflect the future development of a hotel; The designation of some leased lands located north of Taxiway A will be changed to “Government Employment Area” to reflect current tenants; and The existing “Greenbelt Linkage” designation will be expandedacross th e southern lands of the airport.

The public meetings will be held in both Ottawa andGatineau. Airport staff and its consultants will be available to answer questions. Please visit the project website (www.yow.ca/2038) to review digital mapping of the Preferred Land Use Plan and provide comments. DATE: Wednesday, October 11, 2017 TIME: 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. LOCATION: Riverside UnitedChurch (Sanctuary) 3191 Riverside Drive Ottawa, ON

DATE: Thursday, October 12, 2017 TIME: 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. LOCATION: Centre communautaire Belmont 26, rue Belmont Gatineau, QC

Please note: The venues are fully accessible. The same information will be presentedat both meetings, and information will be available in both official languages.

Ottawa’s first supervised — and legal — safe injection site is now open. Ottawa Public Health is hosting the clinic at 179 Clarence St., between Dalhousie and King Edward, starting Sept. 26. It’s open from 3 to 8 p.m. each day, and those hours will be extended as more staff is trained to observe intravenous drug users, and help them in the case of overdose. The small room set up for users to inject drugs comes with a crash cart — medical equipment to help if someone overdoses or has a bad reaction to a drug. A defibrillator and oxygen tanks stand at the ready. Two registered nurses will be present, sitting a few steps from the people who inject drugs. The city’s permanent safe injection site is expected to open in a matter of weeks at the nearby Sandy Hill Community Health Centre. The city was prompted to open this temporary site on Clarence when a pop-up injection site was opened by the private group Overdose Prevention Ottawa a couple of blocks away. Safe injection sites are part of the city’s harm-reduction strategy. Given the recent spike in overdoses in the city — many linked to the drug fentanyl — having a nurse oversee drug use is expected to save lives. Supplies such as needles, tourniquets, and alcohol wipes are available for use. Disposal boxes for used needles are within reach. The injection area has space for two clients to inject drugs while seated on plain office chairs that sit in front of stainless steel tables. Near those chairs are two seats for people waiting to inject drugs. Nurses will be very close by. “It’s similar to other pop-up or mobile sites,” said Kira Mandryk of Ottawa Public Health. “Nurses can see and can intervene (in the case of overdose).” Clients will be asked to spend no more than 20 minutes to take one injection in an effort to ensure people waiting don’t decide to go elsewhere to inject drugs. All clients will be offered assistance to quit drugs when they visit, and Mandryk said that, if they are interested, “we’ll make sure they are seen as soon as possible”. The cost of extra staffing and the renovations required to prepare the room are being paid by the province. Hendriks said he expects the operation to stick to a budget of about $75,000 a month. By mid-October, he hopes enough staff will be trained to keep the site open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily.

Class project raising funds for hurricane relief Earl of March students seek donations of items for Oct. 15 garage sale BY JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Garage sale gurus and flea market aficionados will have the opportunity to hunt for treasures while assisting hurricane relief efforts on Sunday, Oct. 15. Students in the Grade 12 leadership class at Earl of March Secondary School are organizing and hosting a garage sale to raise funds for communities affected by recent hurricanes, including hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria. “All the proceeds we’re raising are going to those affected by the recent hurricanes,” said student Tate Fraser, 17. “We decided on that specific fundraising (effort) because at the time it was when hurricane Irma, hurricane Harvey had just hit.” Students in the leadership class, under the guidance of teacher Mike Sammon, learn

how to organize, plan and host events inside and outside the school. The garage sale, the first event this semester, is a classwide project. “We’re hoping to raise around $2,000 with all the donations,” she said. “There was lot of places that were hit.” Tate’s grandmother has a house in Florida, located within the expected path of hurricane Irma. Thankfully, her family’s home was untouched. “It was supposed to be hit, but luckily (the hurricane) veered off,” said Tate, adding others weren’t so lucky. People who would like to donate items to the garage sale can drop off items at the school on Wednesdays, Oct. 4 and Oct. 11, from 4 to 7 p.m. Another drop-off will be held on Saturday, Oct. 14. “If they have anything they want to get rid of, they can donate it here and we’ll take care of everything else,”

Students in the Grade 12 leadership class at Earl of March Secondary School are organizing a garage sale to raise funds for people affected by recent hurricanes and are looking for donations of items. The sale takes place Oct. 15. said Tate. Anyone who would like to sell their own items and keep the funds can purchase a table for $20. The garage sale will take place on Sunday, Oct. 15, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. inside the school located at 4 The Parkway. There will be “all kinds of things,” said Tate. “Everyone’s welcome to come.”

Zen class teaches stress, emotion management ‘It’s improved the quality of my life in so many different areas’: instructor BY JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Teenagers and families with younger children struggling with back-to-school stress are invited to register for an eight-week Zen class to learn how to calm the mind and relax the body. A Zen youth and Zen family program will start in mid-October, just in time to help students learn mindfulness as the exam period approaches. “I’m teaching them about tools and techniques on how they can feel calm, feel confident and reduce their stress,” said class instructor Kam Tello, certified in child medi-

tation, mindfulness instruction and yoga. “We’re practicing how to mediate, how to be mindful; we’re doing breathing exercises and doing mindful yoga movements to release stress in the body,” she said. With technology and society’s “always on” mentality, learning how to calm one’s mind becomes even more necessary. “There isn’t a turning off and winding down and a chance to process and take in the day; it just keeps going on and on,” Tello said. “We’re not having as much as a chance to rest and relax and tune in to ourselves. It can become overwhelming.”

Tello, a south Ottawa resident, has been teaching Zen meditation for more than five years after looking for something to help her manage her own stress levels. “I kind of just tripped upon the idea of meditating on a different thought every day,” she said. “Things that used to stress me out don’t stress me out anymore. It’s improved my relationships, it’s improved the quality of my life in so many different areas.” Now she teaches all ages how to manage anxiety and pressure using four tools: breathing, tuning into the senses, using imagination and honing the ability to focus. “Breath is connected to how busy or calm the mind can be — our breath changes as how we’re feeling and our state of mind changes,”

Instructor Kam Tello will lead Zen youth and Zen family classes at the Mlacak Centre this fall. The program focuses on meditation, mindfulness, breathing exercises and yoga to help reduce stress. Tello said. “We can go to the breath and we can learn how to do deep belly breathing that’s going to help relax the mind and calm our emotions.” Maureen Moynahan, program co-ordinator at the seniors and Mlacak centres, said she and her daughter will be taking the family class. Both can have difficulty unplugging and stress tends to creep up during homework sessions. “Grounding ourselves

and rejuvenating is huge,” said Moynahan. “For me to be able to take a course like this with her, so that when we are getting to that point in our home, I have the tools as well.” And those skills will continue to come in handy long after the class is over. “It’s going to be a lifelong technique and skill that they’re going to develop that they can use right up into adulthood,” said Tello. The Zen Youth class is

open to teenagers between the ages of 13 to 17, while the Zen Family program is for adults and their children, ages seven to 12. Both programs run Oct. 14 to Dec. 2 at the Mlacak Centre, 2500 Campeau Dr., on Saturdays at 9:30 a.m. for families and the teen program at 10:45 a.m. Registration is open online at join.ottawa.ca or by calling 613-599-4480.

West, south councillors are ambassadors of hope BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Several city councillors plan to do their part to help out the Queensway Carleton Hospital Foundation’s latest fundraising campaign. The $5-million Hopes Rising campaign is to provide mental health services. The hospital needs to update the space used by the mental health program — it hasn’t received any upgrades since it was opened 40 years ago. The hospital is looking to expand and renovate the space. The co-chairs for the campaign are Chris and Erin Phillips. The contingent of councillors — who have pledged to raise $500,000 as a group — includes Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder, College Coun.

Ottawa police push to recruit new members, boost diversity BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

The Ottawa police force is ramping up efforts to recruit racial minorities, Indigenous officers and women, but they have to compete with other forces, the Police Services Board heard on Sept. 25. The report, entitled Go Forward Framework – Diversifying the OPS Sworn Workforce, said there were 460 new sworn members between 2005 and 2012, about 125 of those were women – which is status quo for the number of women. Racialized groups are on an upward trend according to the numbers, and Indigenous people are on a slight downward trend. Debra Frazer, director general of corporate services for the police, said the

downward trend is partly because there are so few Indigenous officers, that any time someone leaves or retires it creates a bigger impact. Police Chief Charles Bordeleau said there’s work to be done, as the force doesn’t yet reflect the community it serves. Insp. Carl Cartright, head of recruitment for the Ottawa police, said that several forces are competing for the same number of recruits. “The OPP (Ontario Provincial Police) is looking for 500 new candidates,” Cartright told the board. “All police agencies are competing for the same candidates, with the same experience and credentials and we hope that makes a good police officer.” The force started identifying diverse candidates and fast tracking them in 2016.

Cartright said the force needs to work on reaching millennials (born between 1980 and 2000), by increasing outreach. But it’s not enough to just recruit, OPS has to work on retention, he said. Frazer said staff will meet with stakeholders and present a finalized report in January 2018. This is the third workforce census the force has done, she said. Kanata Coun. Allan Hubley said he’s concerned police are spending more money on consultants than actual recruitment. “I don’t think you’re going to see a lot from external candidates,” Frazer said. “We did most of the work in-house.” She added there’s a small amount of consultant work to provide “evidence-based”

research. Board member Carl Nicholson, who’s been working on the issue during the tenure of the last four chiefs of police, said staff should tap into existing officers. “We need to ask what attracted them to the service,” he said. Nicholson said the force needs to be proactive. “Diverse youth are watching TV, and there’s the barrier of the perception of policing,” he said. Beacon Hill-Cyrville Coun. Tim Tierney said he wonders if candidates from low-income families that can’t afford post secondary education are getting screened out. “We need to ensure we are hiring the best and the brightest,” Bordeleau said. The force is looking to hire 25 new officers in 2018.

Police Board approves budget directions BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

The Police Services Board has approved the 2018 budget review and timetable that will draw $3 million from reserves on Sept 25. The budget, based on a two per cent tax increase and 1.3 per cent increase from the growth in the assessment base, has drawn ire from board members for taking risks with budgets down the road. The $8.5 million budget puts off spending and dips into the reserves, primarily to stay in the line with the two per cent tax increase under which Mayor Jim Watson was elected. Without using the reserves, the increase would have likely included a 4.3 per cent increase the police services finance committee heard on Sept. 11. Among the pressures driving up the costs are $2.1 million for hiring 25 new officers and $3 million in overtime. While the plan will keep the

Marjorie Forrest (n ée Jardin former L e), ieutenan t (Nursin g Sister)

police within spending limits for 2018, it could leave them with a spending increase as high as 5.4 per cent in 2019. The draft budget also includes $2 million in efficiencies every year for the next four years. Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley asked if police had looked at their fleet as a way to save money. “I am seeing a lot of one-time cost-saving measures,” he said. “Have we done a review of the fleet and potential savings?” Debra Frazer, the director general of corporate services, said the force participated in a fleet management review led by the city. Police started phasing out the Ford Taurus cruisers last year – opting instead for Sport utility vehicles. Police chief Charles Bordeleau said the vehicle acts as a mobile office for members. “The vehicle needs to be safe and spacious,” he said. The draft budget will be officially tabled at the November board meeting.

Ottawa is now home to a monument destined to become a regular stop on any visitor’s tour of the capital. The National Holocaust Monument was inaugurated on Sept. 27 by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and members of Canada’s Jewish community. “We must recommit ourselves every day, to not only not repeat (the Holocaust), but remembering,” Trudeau said to an audience gathered in the nearby Canadian War Museum. The monument honours the victims and survivors of the Holocaust – the mass extermination of over six million Jews and millions of other victims at the hands of the Nazi regime. The war museum played host due to inclement weather at the outdoor monument. The monument is now open to the public at the corner of

The new National Holocaust Monument is now open to the public at the corner of Wellington and Booth streets, opposite the war museum. Wellington and Booth streets. The design of the monument – entitled Landscape of Loss, Memory and Survival – may at first appear haphazard, but when viewed from above forms a Star of David. Inside the walls are paint-

ings and interpretive panels, as well as space for quiet contemplation. One stairway provides visitors with a framed view of the Peace Tower on Parliament Hill. See EVIL, page 19

‘Evil exists’: rabbi Continued from page 18

The day included emotional speeches, none more so than Eva Kuper’s story of escape from the Nazi death camps. Kuper was two years old when she and her mother were put on a train destined for the Treblinka death camp. Her mother allowed a woman who was not being sent to Treblinka to claim Eva as her own. Eva was passed to safety over the heads of people jammed in a cattle car, while her mother stayed on the train and was later killed at the death camp. Kuper, 76, immigrated to Can-

Karen McCrimmon

ada and now lives in Montreal. She said she arrived in a country that had no public health care and few services designed to help newcomers. “I want to express thanks to Canada that those services are in place today for people who have faced genocide,” Kuper said. Rabbi Daniel Friedman of Edmonton was a member of the council that raised more than $4 million toward the cost of the new monument. He said the monument will be a reminder that “evil exists in the world.” “We as Canadians will protect people from the monsters that are here amongst us,” he said.

I would like to thank all those who came out to the Carp Fair. It was so great to see the crowds come out on the warmest weekend of the ‘summer’ and experience why the Fair has earned its name as “The Greatest Little Fair in Canada”. Once again the community of Carp lived up to and surpassed all expectations. I’d like to thank the organizers and volunteers, the farmers, vendors, and participants who came from miles around to participate in such a wonderful community event. Whether that was breeding livestock, herding cattle or offering up incredible food to the hungry fair goers. It was so great to speak to so many of you who took the time to stop and say hello. I look forward to seeing you all next year!

Invictus Games

I had the honour of travelling to Toronto to watch athletes from Canada and around the world compete at the 2017 Invictus Games. I had the opportunity to watch a number of different sports taking place at the Games, from volleyball to wheelchair rugby, perhaps one of the most intense sports I have ever witnessed. A huge thank you goes out to the volunteers and organizers of the Invictus Games, and all those who provided such great support. Thank you to His Royal Highness Prince Harry, The Right Honourable Justin Trudeau, and The Honourable Seamus O’Regan for their tremendous support of the Games and to the athletes. Lastly, the biggest thanks of all go out to the ill and injured Canadian Forces members and veterans whose indomitable spirit and camaraderie, together with their sense of brotherhood make them all true Canadian heroes.

CNIB Night Steps

I had the honour of speaking at the Canadian National Institute of the Blind’s (CNIB) Night Walks fundraiser in support of those who are blind or partially sighted. The funds raised at Night Walks will go to support access to life-changing CNIB programs in our community. My thanks to the terrific organizers and volunteers who made this such a great event!

Tighter restrictions for payday loan companies BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Running for a cure

Teacher Wally Peddle’s Grade 2 class prepares to start their Terry Fox Run on Sept. 29. The runs, which take place across the country, raise proceeds for the Terry Fox Foundation, used to fund cancer research.

LISTEN

Council voted in favour of separating payday loan companies from banks on Sept. 27. The motion came from Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury, whose ward is home to a number of payday loan outlets. Fleury’s been working with anti-poverty advocate groups to rein in the lenders – who some say unfairly target low-income neighbourhoods. There are 70 payday loan outlets city wide, and 30 outlets in a five-kilometre stretch between the Vanier Parkway and Montreal Road, according to a report released in February by the Association of Communities for Reform Now, Ottawa Chapter. The provincial government has given the city the power to separate them out from banks with a zoning category, but it needed council approval. Last April council voted to work on licensing payday lenders. The licensing, coupled with

with your

the new zoning category, would allow the city to control the proliferation of outlets. The city’s top planning boss, Stephen Willis, said the provincial legislation doesn’t deal with land use, so staff will work on a review over the next year. College Coun. Rick Chiarelli, who heads up the Information Technology subcommittee, said that he wants staff to consider looking at other forms of payday loans – such as those available online. “We want to make sure we are looking ahead to the next century,” he said. “Not stuck in the last century.” Willis said staff will do what they can to stay current on the issue. Alta Vista Coun. Jean Cloutier, who also has a concentration of payday loan companies in his ward, said it’s pretty obvious a payday loan company is not a bank. “I look forward to the planning department report,” he said.

HEART

HELP BROADEN LEAH’S HORIZONS Hearing is critical to speech and language development, communication, and learning. At just six months of age Leah was fitted with a bone vibrating hearing aid that she will wear using a soft band around her head until she is old enough to undergo surgery to permanently attach the device. For some children, conventional hearing aids are not as effective due to malformations of the outer or middle ear. Bone conduction hearing aids send vibrations through the bones of the skull directly to the inner ear. In addition to improved listening and language skills, it results in a natural sound with less distortion and feedback. These devices enable a child with significant hearing loss to have access to sound which is critical for brain development. Early intervention with appropriate amplification helps children to learn in school, participate in activities and make friends.

YOU CAN HELP KIDS LIKE LEAH

Through community support, the CHEO Foundation provides funding to CHEO’s audiology program for equipment and supplies that are not currently covered by public funding. This is just one example of how your generous gifts help children like Leah thrive.

Jack MacLaren Member of Provincial Parliament Carleton-Mississippi Mills

Hurting our Small Businesses It goes without saying, but I will say it any ways, small businesses are the backbone of the Canadian economy, always have been and always will be. But our Provincial and Federal governments don’t seem to understand this. Recently I met with a constituent who I will call D, she runs a not for profit day care in northern Kanata, and she told me how the new minimum wage and tax increases will hurt her business. With the hiked minimum wage at $15/hr, her Early Childhood Educators who earn around $18/hr, will rightfully expect an increase in salary because without one their work becomes devalued. But D can’t afford this increase, the new salary equivalent would be almost $24/hr to keep the same rate of pay. Now D fears her employees will be looking at other jobs that now have wages that are artificially more competitive with less stressful work. On top of the higher minimum wage D finds herself caught up in the new tax hikes on small businesses that the federal government is proposing. These new taxes will make it harder for D to save for her retirement, and harder to re-invest in her business to create a better environment for the children she cares for. These reforms are going to hurt our businesses, they are going to hurt our farmers, and they are going to hurt our doctors. We must stop them.

NOTICE OF INTENT CARP RIVER EMBANKMENT RESTORATION CLASS ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT

The Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority (MVCA) has retained McIntosh Perry Consulting Engineers to complete a study regarding the Carp River Embankment Restoration located within Glen Cairn community between Terry Fox Drive and Eagleson Road. This project is being considered in order to provide protection to the Carp River embankment which is currently unstable due to severe erosion occurring primarily along the southeast embankment. This study has been initiated to solely address embankment erosion within the study area limits and will not address and/or rectify any recent flooding issues.

The study team invites you to participate in the study, which is being completed in accordance with the Conservation Ontario’s Class Environmental Assessment for Remedial Flood and Erosion Control Projects (Class EA). The Class EA process includes public, governing agency and stakeholders consultation, characterization of the study area and the identification and evaluation of alternatives using sound criteria to select the technically preferred alternative. This study will investigate the potential environmental, social and economic impacts of the preferred alternative and identify measures to mitigate any adverse impacts. Input received will be incorporated into the planning and design process for this project and will be received until November 6th, 2017. If you wish to be involved in this study or receive information, please contact one of the project representatives identified below. Additional consultation opportunities will be made available as the study progresses.

Crystal Bay Centre for Special Education unveils new safety village BY CHRISTOPHER WHAN christopher.whan@metroland.com

There’s a new mini suburbia at the Crystal Bay Centre for Special Education, though this one won’t feature any new residents. The four-house neighbourhood was unveiled on Sept. 28 and was built with the intention to teach proper road safety to the students of the school. The Safety Village consists of a road loop for bicycles and tricycles of all sizes, with curbs, crosswalks, traffic lights – provided and installed by the city - and an intersecting lane down the middle. There are also miniature buildings

that look like houses. The project was funded partially by the city and the public school board with help from local charities. School board trustee for Bay Ward, Theresa Kavanagh, was on hand for the announcement and was impressed with the final product. “It’s brilliant, just brilliant,” said Kavanagh. “It’s making use of an old trackand-field track that was obviously not being used and has made it something that’s going to be a real benefit to the kids. They’re going to learn and their going to enjoy themselves.” “This new village will

More hospice beds still needed 30 beds would ‘meet majority of needs of people’ at end of life, says executive director BY JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

A new hospice residence may have opened in Kanata last month but more beds are still needed, says Hospice Care Ottawa executive director Lisa Sullivan. The not-for profit organization, which provides all its services free of charge, has 19 hospice palliative care beds, as well as two respite beds, between its two locations. But as the population continues to grow and to age, that number isn’t enough. “The goal of Hospice Care Ottawa and hospice in general is to have about 30 beds in our community,” Sullivan said during the organization’s annual general meeting on Sept. 25. Thirty beds would allow hospice to meet “the majority of needs of people” who are on their end-of-life journey, she said. The cost of a hospice bed, about $460 a day, versus one in an acute-care hospital, which is around $1,200, is noteworthy, said Sullivan. “Hospice care is more cost effective for our health-care system,” she said, adding the nonprofit has received an increase in

funding from the province, but that only accounts for 60 per cent of its operating costs. To meet its operational needs, Hospice Care Ottawa must raise an additional $2 million each year. “Thanks to you, we can do it,” said Sullivan. Hospice palliative care provides a homelike atmosphere with around the clock nursing care as well as volunteer support, for people at the end of life who for whatever reason, can’t stay at home, Sullivan said. It also provides care for the families through its caregiver and grief support programs. Over the past year, Hospice Care Ottawa served more than 1,500 people through its many services: • 363 people were provided hospice residential care; • in-home support volunteers served 431 people; • the day hospice program saw 169 individuals; • 693 people sought bereavement care; • and caregiver support was provided to 67 people. The hospice’s 1,075 volunteer contingent provided more than 54,000 hours of volunteer support in 2016-17. That’s the equivalent of 27 full-time staff, said Sullivan. “None of these services, nothing we do, would be possible without you, our amazing volunteers,” she said. Total expenses for the financial year ending March 31, 2017 were

The not-for-profit’s revenue for the year was $6.1 million, which included more than $1.2 million in donations, $500,000 raised through events, and a onetime fund of $1.7 million from the province. “At the very tail end of the fiscal year our provincial government recognized how much we have been doing, the expenditures and the future expansion needs; they have set us up with a receivable for the next year,” said Kim Sheldrick, finance director. “It didn’t leave us $1 million in cash.”

FRENCH LANGUAGE SERVICES

Hospice Care Ottawa expanded into Orléans last year with the opening of La Maison de L’Est. The facility offers francophone services and day programs for people with life-limiting illnesses. The next step, said Sullivan, is to build a residential hospice in Orléans. “Our plan is to eventually have residential beds there so that we also have access for people in the east end of Ottawa,” she said.

Ottawa photojournalist launching new book Captive shows animals in more than 20 countries on its pages BY MELISSA MURRAY

Individuals paying the price for our amusement,” she said. The images from the book span were taken on five continents. Because animal issues across the globe, whether fur farms, factory farms or animals in captivity, are a focus of a lot of McArthur’s work, she had a large archive of images to draw on. But when Born Free Foundation, an international wildlife charity, contacted her to photograph the state of zoos in Europe, McArthur felt she would have enough material for the 208-page book. “The reason I wanted to make a book is because it’s a

After capturing photographs of zoos and aquariums in more than 20 countries, an Ottawaborn photojournalist is coming back for the homecoming launch of her newest book. Called Captive, the book asks its audience to look again and to actually see and consider the animal, said Jo-Anne McArthur, who grew up in Alta Vista. “When we go to zoos we spend a couple of seconds to about a minute staring at each ‘exhibit’ and we don’t really think about the individual there we see them as a representative of the species … and that’s what the book is really drawing attention to and hopefully to these

very timely subject matter. Zoos are very much in the spotlight right now and they know they have to change and reform. So the book is my contribution to the growing mainstream conversation,” she said. McArthur is an Ottawa University grad and previously published her first book entitled We Animals in January 2014. Earlier this year she also launched the We Animals Archive, a free-to-use resource with highresolution images of animals. It has been used by organizations, publishers and academics. By last December, Captive was funded through a crowdfunding campaign, raising more than $36,000 US. Then, starting Jan. 1, McArthur launched a Year of Captivity on her Facebook page, showing an additional image from her archive each day. Unlike some photo assignments, all McArthur needed to gain access to her subjects was an admission ticket, then she would spend hours and sometimes days photographing the animals and the interactions

“It’s like that for rodeos and circuses, we are so caught up in everything else and so caught up in having a day at the park, frankly that we fail to see suffering or loneliness or ridiculousness right there.” The book launch is on Oct. 10 at Bar Robo on Somerset Street from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. There will be the opportu-

with visitors. “For me it’s not just about getting that individual image, but you learn the story a lot more when, for example, in southern France I spent three days photographing this one elephant named Gina, who was walking in circles going back and forth, not even a tree to hide under in the shade and no friend to be with,” she said. Her most successful images, McArthur said, are the ones that show the interaction between the animals and the visitors. They can show the locks, the walls, the painted murals, the glass, the selfie takers. They show the human element. One of her favourites is of a grey seal, surrounded by balloons, at the centre of the image, ignored by hundreds of people as they pay more attention to the commentator than the animal. “It’s a very celebratory, bright colourful kind of picture and yet there’s an animal right at the centre of the image and we are failing to see the animal,” she said.

United Way drops annual campaign, embraces change no specific total to reach.This year, Allen said, they are moving forward with a new, more modern model of how to fundraise.

The United Way is piecing together a new way to fundraise. On Sept. 28, the United Way Ottawa asked 150 of its leaders, supporters, organizations and charities to come to city hall to build a puzzle. The puzzle, a cherry wood laser etching of the map of Ottawa, is meant to show off all the hard work these individuals do for this city. "What we are doing is asking people, to do something, that they do every day and what our wall inspiration means to us. That people are deliberate and thoughtful in making Ottawa what it is," said Michael Allen, president of the United Way. The puzzle is part of the organization's plan to update its Wall of Inspiration in Jean Pigott Place. “It’s United Way’s ability to mobilize a city of change-makers to come together on a day like today that shows the true power behind the work they do with the community,” said Mayor Jim Watson, before placing the first piece of the mural on its blueprint during the event. Allen said some of the pieces might even have their own messages on the back, adding overall the puzzle pieces are meant to showcase what a strong, giving community Ottawa is. The map will be comprised of over 500 wooden squares to make up a 250 square foot mural installation. The map will be a part of the permanent new Wall of Inspiration and will include the 800 community builders’ names that have been recognized by United Way since 2000 on the Wall of Inspiration. The new wall will be unveiled in the spring of 2018. Over the years, the United Way has typically held a fall campaign launch at the end of September, early October. This event was held instead of the organization's annual campaign launch. In fact, Allen said there would be no official launch of a campaign and

year-round for the United Way’s three goals - to end youth homelessness, to make sure that every kid graduates and to ensure no senior is vulnerable. Allen said the old models of fundraising consisted of setting dollar amounts to the most recent, ‘lives changed’ that focused on the number of dollars needed to help Ottawa lives in need. “We have a very significantly strong growing online donation program,” Allen said, adding major donors, plan

giving and government grants are all part of the broader way the organization raises money for its community partners. “It used to be most people didn’t have a ton of choices to exercising their philanthropy,” Allen said, adding many just donated at their workplace. “We all have had to adapt to the changing marketplace. We are less associated with an amount, but it’s about what difference it’s making.”

Each week, a lawyer from the Kanata based Allan Snelling law firm will answer a reader’s question. A weekly guide in legal matters

If you have a general legal question that you would like to have addressed send it via email to Legalmatters@compellingcounsel.com

My husband and I have been married for the last 25 years but don’t have any children. Do we need a Will, or would everything just go to the surviving spouse anyway? Yes, you do need a Will. Whenever you don’t have any children, under the statutory distribution scheme for individuals that die without a Will, your spouse would receive your entire estate. However, you should still have a will for at least two reasons: 1. Appointing an executor of your estate; and 2. Making instructions for the distribution of your estate in the event that you’re predeceased by your spouse.

1. Appointment of an executor of your estate. The executor named in a Will has the legal authority to take possession of all your assets, do your final income tax returns, and deal with banks and government institutions. If you don’t have a Will, a court would have to appoint an executor of your estate to deal with any assets that were not jointly owned, as well as any registered investments that did not have a named beneficiary. The process of appointing an executor usually takes a few months, so in addition to incurring unnecessary costs, there will be an extended delay during which your spouse will not have access to the assets in your estate. In my experience, some financial institutions will waive a probate requirement if your spouse is the named executor and the only beneficiary of your estate, which could provide your spouse with ready access to some assets shortly after your death.

the fentanyl crisis in Ottawa, raising $200,000 this summer. He also pointed out online donations happen all yearround and limiting it to a time frame doesn't really make sense anymore. There still will be the Ottawa-area workplace launches - individual companies, as well as the federal, provincial and city workplace fundraising, which still start in the fall.

He obtained his law degree from the University of Ottawa’s Common Law program in 2011 and subsequently articled in Burlington, Ontario.

2. Distribution of your estate if you survive your spouse. By having a Will in place, you will make sure that your estate is distributed the way you want it to be in the event that your spouse passes away shortly before you, or in the event that you are unable to make a Will after your spouse’s death. Under the statutory distribution scheme, if you don’t have a spouse nor children, your estate would go to your parents. Alternatively, if your parents are deceased, your estate would go to your siblings. This may not be your wish. For example you might want to leave part of your estate to your spouse’s family, or you may wish to skip your parents and siblings and distribute the estate among your and your spouse’s nieces and nephews, or make gifts to a charity or charities. No matter which option you choose, having a Will can provide the peace of mind of knowing that your estate will be distributed according to your wishes.

plant life can grow.” A book launch will be held in Kanata on Oct. 7 with children’s crafts and activities, a reading of the story and refreshments — which includes a licensed bar for the adults. All of Kennedy’s original oil paintings, used as illustrations in the book, will be on display, along with a large sculpture of Merbles Kennedy is currently working on. “It will be, hopefully, good for both adults and kids,” he said.

BY JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

A west Ottawa man combined his passion for science and art to author and illustrate a children’s book with a message about not judging others for being different. Matthew Kennedy developed the idea for the book while sitting in an airport and wrote the majority of it while pursuing his medical education at the University of Toronto. The story follows Merbles, a “bumslug,” who is judged and rejected by others for having no arms and legs. But it’s his magical excrement that winds up saving the community. “When he does become the saviour of the community, there’s no ‘I told you so,’” said Kennedy. “It’s a non-judgemental, happy resilience in light of the judgment.” The story imparts a message to young readers about not judging others, while also

The story follows Merbles, a ‘bumslug’ rejected society until his magical excrement saves the day. sliding in an education on biodiversity with Merbles' “magical blue bumdrops.”

“I’ve got two boys (and) they love that stuff,” said Kennedy, who also has a one-year-

Kennedy lives in Glabar Park in the city’s west end with his wife Ashleigh and their three children, Greyland, who turns five the day before the launch, two-year-old Jonathan and Madison, age one. By day, Kennedy is a family physician at his practice in Orléans. His off time is when he pursues his second love of visual art. “Art’s always been a big part of my life since elementary school,” said the father of three. “I also really liked the sciences in high school; medicine was always something I wanted to do.” See READING, page 34

Reading of Merbles at book launch Continued from page 33

Kennedy pursued the sciences — receiving a degree in human kinetics and a master’s in biomechanics before enrolling in the University of Toronto’s medicine program. He completed his two-year family medicine residency at the Civic Hospital campus last November, graduating from the

University of Ottawa. But art was still a big part of his life. He studied various artists and taught himself techniques over the years, beginning with acrylics before settling on oils. Now with a book under his belt, he can add author to his list of titles. “It’s nice to just let your creativity go,” he said. “Children’s

stories offer that.” Merbles is published by Unprecedented Press and available for preorder online at unprecedentedpress.com/shop/merbles. The book launch takes place on Saturday, Oct. 7, from 3 to 7 p.m., at a renovated warehouse at 65 Denzil Doyle Court in the Kanata South Business Park.

Notice of Study Commencement Vanguard Drive Extension Environmental Assessment Study Project Overview The City of Ottawa has initiated an Environmental Assessment (EA) study to develop a Recommended Plan for the extension of Vanguard Drive from Lanthier Drive to Mer Bleue Road. Study Area The EA study limits for the extension of Vanguard Drive will extend from Lanthier Drive in the east to Mer Bleue Road in the west. The Study Area as shown in Figure 1 will cover a broader area extending westerly to west of Frank Bender Street and easterly to Tenth Line Road, to address environmental impacts, operational issues and to co-ordinate with relevant on-going studies and projects. This ensures that a reasonable range of alternatives can be developed and assessed. Rationale for Extension of Vanguard Drive The Official Plan, as amended by Official Plan Amendment (OPA) 150, identifies the westerly extension of the Vanguard Drive on Schedule EA as a future east-west collector road. The existing Vanguard Drive is an east-west collector road with an urban cross-section that runs between the arterial road Tenth Line Road and the local road Lanthier Drive.

City to recruit third party to deal with long-term care abuse allegations BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Thanks to a camera installed in a resident’s room, the city was able to catch evidence of an employee of the Peter D. Clark Long-term Care Centre in Nepean; the city was able to document four incidents of verbal abuse by an employee in late August and early September. In a memo to councillors sent on Sept. 28, Janice Burelle, the general manager of community and social services, said the city is working with police and the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care. These latest allegations follow a director referral order from the ministry to improve conditions at the city’s long-term care homes, following allegations of abuse and neglect at the Garry J. Armstrong facility on Lodge Island Road. Staff outlined plans to work with stakeholders on a solution Sept. 21 during a presentation to the city’s community and protective services committee. The staff work will continue, Burelle says in the memo — as well as an independent,

third-party review. Burelle called the language in the video “disturbing and offensive” and added that the employee in question has been fired, along with two employees who witnessed the verbal abuse and didn’t report it. Also caught on video was a comment about another employee not providing medication; Burelle said that employee is also under investigation. Part of the city’s work plan was to provide supplementary training on the city’s abuse policy. All staff are to receive the training by Dec. 1. “Any incident of abuse, verbal or otherwise, is completely unacceptable and at odds with our stated mission and our commitment to the health, well-being, and safety of our residents,” Burelle said. Staff have begun the search for a qualified independent reviewer and will advise council when one has been recruited, the memo reads. “I am deeply saddened by that this resident was subjected to verbal abuse at one of our homes,” Burelle said.

In September 2016, the City of Ottawa Planning Committee established a strategy and work program for the construction of the Vanguard Drive extension to support economic development of the South Orléans Business Park. The EA study will identify and protect a corridor for the roadway extension. Study Process The study is being conducted in accordance with Ontario’s EA Act, fulfilling requirements as a Municipal Class EA process for a Schedule C project. The City must consider alternative designs for the project, undertake public and agency consultation, assess the potential environmental effects of the Recommended Plan and identify measures to mitigate any such impacts. As part of the study process, an Environmental Study Report (ESR) will be prepared for public review. Following the public review period, the project will be considered to have EA approval and may proceed to implementation once funding is in place. Study Timeline The EA process will include a consultation program involving many stakeholders, including the City of Ottawa, the Government of Ontario, the Government of Canada, and other approval and regulatory agencies, local community associations, businesses and institutions, special advisory and interest groups, and members of the general public. The study is expected to be completed by late 2018. Get involved! You are encouraged to participate in the study by attending consultation events or by directly contacting the study team with information, comments or questions. Updated project information may be posted periodically on the study website. The study will also have the benefit of input from agency, business and public consultation groups that will meet at key points during the study. Two open houses will be scheduled throughout the study as an opportunity for interested persons to learn about the study and provide input. Notifications for the open house will be provided through local newspapers, emails to the study mailing list and postings on the website.

Jamal Jackson Rogers, Ottawa’s English Poet Laureate, recites William Wilfred Campbell’s Not Unto Endless Dark at the ceremony for the burial of those found at the former Barrack Hill Cemetery during light rail construction. The remains of one of the 79 individuals was placed in the small casket pictured at the front of the Sacred Space at the Beechwood Cemetery on Oct. 1, about a week after the other 78 had been buried.

Barrack Hill remains laid to rest brier.dodge@metroland.com

The remains of 79 Bytown residents have found a final resting place at the Beechwood Cemetery. A formal service was held at Canada’s national cemetery on Oct. 1, with the remains of one of the people found during light rail construction in a small casket carried in by several pallbearers. The remains of the other 78 people found had been buried earlier in the week. In 2013, light rail construction staff found human remains from the former Barrack Hill Cemetery, the first public cemetery in what was then

Bytown, and used from about 1827 to 1845. When the cemetery closed, many families reinterred their family members elsewhere; many to Sandy Hill Cemetery which is now beneath Macdonald Gardens Park in Lowertown. City historians said some bodies were left, likely because the families’ could either not afford to have them moved, had moved away, or the entire family had been victim of disease. The remains have been at the Canadian Museum of History since they were discovered. Timothy Killam, Beechwood Cemetery chair, said the remains will rest among many See MORE, page 38

prominent figures, including 26 former mayors, and well-known scientists, poets and politicians including Sir Robert Borden. “The city could not have chosen a more fitting place to reinter the individuals laid to rest at Barrack Hill Cemetery,” Killam said. “Those who helped our city, who possibility worked on the Rideau Canal and eventually laid down roots in the early created capital of the newlyformed country. “ Mayor Jim Watson said the ceremony was important to recognize the contribution of Ottawa’s early settlers to the city as it is today. “Life was hard for many in the 1800s. Entire families, in fact, died during the malaria and cholera outbreaks of 1832 and 1834,” Watson said. “As we honour the contributions and sacri-

fices of early settlers we recognize it’s incumbent on us to entire proper and dignified burial.” The funeral service included readings and the homily from heads of various churches in Ottawa, including the Archbishop of Ottawa Terrence Prendergast, Pastor Jim Pot from Knox Presbyterian Church, Deacon Bob Birch of Saint Peter’s Church, Rev. Laurette Glasgow of the Church of St. Bartholemew, Rev. Dr. Karen Dimock of St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church and the Venerable David Selzer of the Anglican Diocese of Ottawa. Watson said it’s expected more human remains will be found as light rail transit construction continues and any human remains found will be reinterred in the same manner at Beechwood. A memorial plaque will be installed at the gravesite.

Haworth plays 100th game for Ottawa Fury BY JAKE DAVIES jake.davies@metroland.com

In the Ottawa Fury’s short four-year history a lot has happened, and forward Carl Haworth has been witness to it all. On Sunday, Sept. 24, Haworth played in his 100th match for the Fury, a number no other player is close to reaching. His achievement was celebrated by the football club before playing its United Soccer League (USL) league game against Louisville City FC. “It means a lot, especially in North America it’s a pretty unique milestone,” Haworth told Metroland Media while signing autographs on the TD Place pitch following a 1-1 draw against Louisville. “People bounce around from on club to another, year to year. To stay in one place, especially a place like Ottawa, I’ve called this place home for a few years now, I love the fans, I love the organization and it’s a real proud moment for me.”

ENGLAND

Haworth was born in Southport, England, in 1989, but has since earned his Canadian citizenship. Haworth joined the Fury in 2013 in the team’s final season in the Professional Development League. In 12 appearances, he scored 12 goals.

Haworth then signed his first professional contract on Nov. 19, 2013 with the Fury, which was also the first professional contract the Fury offered in club history. Haworth made his professional debut on April 12, 2014 for the Fury as the club played its first game in the North American Soccer League (NASL). In 2016, Haworth led the Fury in goals (8), assists and shots, and was named the Fury’s top player for that season. In 2017, the Fury moved from the NASL to the USL, and Haworth continued with the team after signing an extension last November. In 2017, Haworth has appeared in 18 matches with 13 starts. CAPPED

Internationally, Haworth was a member of the Canadian Under-23 national team for their Olympic Qualifying Tournament in 2012. Haworth received his first call-up to the Canadian senior team on Nov. 4, 2016 for a friendly game against South Korea. In that time, Haworth has a lot of fond memories. “Definitely scoring the first goal for the Ottawa Fury here at TD Place is a big one for me (against Fort Lauderdale back in the fall season of 2014),” he said.

SERVING KANATA NORTH City Councillor, Kanata North COMMUNITY POLICING MEETING – I would like to thank everyone who came out to our public meeting with regards to policing in our community.

Haworth an icon for the Fury: coach Continued from page 43

“Making that run in the fall season in 2015 going all the way to the finals was a pretty special moment as well. Getting called up to the men’s national team, that was a big moment for me as well.” He has been present for all the Fury’s success and misssteps in its history. “I guess it’s been a difficult first three-and-a-half, four years

for the club,” he said. “Obviously we had some good success with Mark dos Santos over the first couple of years, and we’ve been kind of transitioning since. Paul (Dalglish) came in and brought in a different style of play. It was something that takes time and he probably had a vision for something two or three years down the road, but unfortunately for him, it didn’t pan out. I enjoyed great success under Paul. I owe him a lot for

fine-tuning my game and instilling confidence in me and yet to be here and see how the organization has grown over the years is pretty cool.” Manager Julian de Guzman has had the unique opportunity to play alongside Haworth, and now coach him. “He’s becoming an icon for the Fury,” de Guzman said. “He’s accomplished something not many Canadians have done for a Canadian club. For him

The Story My Plumber Asked Me Not To Write! I hope this never happens to YOU. I was getting home from out of town. I was excited because I was throwing a big party this weekend. Two days before the party, when I got home, my house was flooded! I couldn’t believe it. I had been gone and expected some pipes to be fixed that were being worked on and had hoped everything would be fine when I got there. It wasn’t! I was dead come tomorrow! I was so irate. I called my plumber, yelled at my guy, threatened, it didn’t matter. He needed some parts and wouldn’t have them until Monday (actually he could get them but he doesn’t work weekends). I started calling every plumber in the book. I was getting nowhere. So I went to a friend and he referred me to his plumber. This guy listened, understood, and was willing to work through the night to make sure I had everything I needed. I owe them my social status. They aren’t like any other plumber in town. Call them at 613-224-6335 and ask for their FREE booklet, “How To Avoid The 7 Biggest Mistakes People Make When Hiring A Plumber.” Also, ask for information about their “Plumbing Safety Inspection” special which can save you money AND the grief I went through.

to achieve this at a professional level, is something to celebrate. I think Carl has had the qualities even to be a part of the national team level, and he’s had that chance too. “He’s a huge asset to the team and for him to achieve this, I’ve played with him and now have the opportunity to coach him, see him to continue to grow as a professional, for me, it’s great to see and hopefully many more Canadians can follow in his footsteps.” Longtime teammate, defender Eddie Edward, has played alongside Haworth the last two years and couldn’t be happier for his friend. “Carl is a great person on and off the pitch, and for any player to achieve what he has achieved at one club is amazing,” Edward said following the Louisville City game. “I think that shows the kind of player he is and the kind of person he is. “A club doesn’t keep someone for that long unless they can add something special to the club. We are so happy for Jake Davies/Metroland him and to see him get involved in the goal in his 100th game is Carl Haworth signs autographs on the TD Place pitch brilliant.” following a 1-1 draw against Louisville on Sept. 24.

Give A Jewel, Feed A School

Help us raise money for school breakfast programs in Nunavut. REALIZING THE NEED Eva von Jagow, a student from Stittsville, was researching Nunavut for a school project when she came across the harsh reality of nutrition in our Far North. She was shocked to see a photo of a jar of peanut butter costing $18.99 in a Nunavut supermarket! Eva quickly learned even with federal shipping subsidies, a head of cabbage can cost over $20. A three-litre container of orange juice is typically $9. In the winter months especially, fresh fruit and vegetables are exorbitantly priced and of poor quality. All this means that many Nunavut children start off their school day with poor nutrition. In Canada, a country that is hailed as having one of the highest standards of living in the world, no child should be going to school hungry or malnourished.

Fans from Carleton University packed the north side of the stands, while the University of Ottawa fans took over the south side for the annual Panda game, where the school’s football teams face off. The Carleton Ravens won the game by only three points after a double overtime. The 49th Panda game drew 24,420.

CRAVING CHANGE Eva decided she wanted to help, and she wanted to start by giving children a healthy start to the day, beginning with breakfast. She contacted the Breakfast Club of Canada and they agreed to direct any money she raised to specific Nunavut schools in need of a funded breakfast program.

The idea for the All That Glam fundraiser itself came to her while helping her mom clean out her closet and jewelry box. Like many women, Eva’s mother, Karen, wore the same 10 to 20 pieces of jewelry and used the same five handbags most of the time. That’s when Eva thought, “Women donate their clothes all the time; why not their jewelry?” This realization sparked the idea to create a gently-used jewelry and handbag sale to raise money for Nunavut schools. NOURISHING CORAL HARBOUR SCHOOL’S BREAKFAST PROGRAM The All That Glam Sale has become an annual event. For the 5th year running, the fundraiser will collect donated jewelry and handbags from the community and resell the pieces at a one-day sale to raise money needed to provide nourishment to children in Nunavut. To date, All That Glam has donated over $100,000 to Sakku School in Coral Harbour (with corporate fund matching) which wouldn’t have been possible without the support and generosity of the local community and our sponsors. A heartfelt thank you to each and every one of you. A special thanks to the Breakfast Club of Canada for directing the money raised to the Coral Harbour School. For more information on the Breakfast Club of Canada and their initiatives, please visit The Breakfast Club of Canada’s website.

Redblacks rookies learning on the job BY JAKE DAVIES jake.davies@metroland.com

May 7, 2017 was a special day for many young, amateur Canadian football players. They’d find out that day if their dream of becoming professional football players would be a reality. The Ottawa Redblacks made it a reality for eight Canadian players. But that wasn’t just the culmination of a dream. It was the start of a lot of hard work and uncertainty. In eight rounds the Redblacks drafted, in order, offensive lineman Evan Johnson, running back Anthony Gosselin, defensive lineman Eli Ankou, running back Louis-Philippe Bourassa, defensive lineman Mathieu Dupuis, receiver Austen Hartley, running back Ed Ilnicki and Jordan Filippelli. Of those eight selected players, only four remain on the roster heading into Fri-

day’s game against Winnipeg – Johnson, Hartley, Gosselin and Bourassa.Third-round pick Ankou, who played college football at UCLA, was signed by an NFL team and has played in the first two games of the season with the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Redblacks knew this was a possibility but drafted him anyway. The other three draft picks were released by the team during the pre-season process. Following an early September practice, coach Rick Campbell said his remaining Canadian rookies are acclimatizing well. “They’ve integrated themselves well,” he told Metroland Media. “They keep getting more experience every week, which is good. It was a good draft class for us. They’re going to be guys that can play in this league for a while.” The Redblacks first-round pick, ninth overall, Johnson,

is a 6-foot-3 University of Saskatchewan product. “He’s getting better and better,” Campbell said. “If that guy stays healthy, I think he’s going to be a player in this league for a long, long time.” Johnson has been working hard, on and off the field, for the Redblacks. “I’ve been having a great time out here so far. It’s been a good season so far and I feel like I am adapting to the CFL game pretty good here so far. I’m getting in a few games, a few plays here and there, getting some good game action and just trying to keep learning each day.” One of the biggest challenges Johnson has faced since going professional, has been a small move. The Redblacks have asked the college tackle to move inside. “I was playing tackle in college and have been bumped inside playing guard and cen-

tre here and it’s a little bit of a different game on the inside,” Johnson said. “But I think I have adapted well to it. “The other thing is the speed and the strength of the players. Everyone is bigger, faster, stronger and it’s a bit of a learning curve trying to adapt. “I’ve been having a great time out here so far. It’s been a good season so far and I feel like I am adapting to the CFL game pretty good here so far. I’m getting in a few games, a few plays here and there, getting some good game action and just trying to keep learning each day.” See ROOKIES, page 48

Rookies have big learning curve on path to CFL starter Continued from page 47

Johnson’s flexibility has paid off. At the beginning of the season, Johnson’s only playing time was spot duty when he would sub in to provide a starter a breather. But Johnson earned his first start of the season on Sept. 17 playing left guard against the Montreal Alouettes. Johnson and the rest of the offensive line helped running back William Powell run for a seasonhigh 144 yards, and a 29-11 win.

Campbell was pleased with Johnson’s effort. “He did very well and I am not surprised,” Campbell said. “I think he’s a guy who can play in this league for a long time for a couple of reasons. For one, he’s very athletic and two he has the right demeanour and mindset. He’s not afraid to go against the highest level of competition and did a great job and I’m not surprised by it.” Johnson though he did OK too. “I was excited to get the op-

portunity to play a full game, that’s for sure,” Johnson said following practice on Wednesday, Sept. 20. “I feel like I made the most of my opportunity and had a pretty good game in Montreal.” Thanks to several injuries along the offensive line, Johnson also started in the last three games. Second-round pick Gosselin, is trying to get back on the field following an early-season injury. The University of Sherbrooke product ran the fastest 40-yard time for any running

back at the CFL combine, clocking 4.73 seconds. He was considered the consensus top fullback available in the 2017 CFL draft, known as a strong blocker who can catch the ball out of the backfield.. Gosselin was invited to the NFL Kansas City Chiefs minicamp in May, but was released and returned, and signed with the Redblacks. The first couple of weeks he was on the 44-man active roster before running in to a setback. Gosselin suffered a concussion and spent the next six weeks working through the league’s concussion protocols. “It was my first concussion so I did not know all the protocols involved in getting back on the field, or even what one felt like,” he said. He’s now been cleared to return to football, but finds himself on the 46-man roster, meaning he’s part of the reserve roster come game time. Gosselin says he’s been using his time on the sideline to

learn. “I’m learning a lot from Pat Lavoie, who I am backing up,” he said. “I watch him a lot, when it’s walk through or we’re getting some reps, I’m 15 yards right back behind him.” Gosselin is making the most of whatever football opportunities come his way. “I’m enjoying it a lot,” he said. “It’s what I want to be. What I want when I get dressed in the morning, is to be here.” University of Calgary product Hartley has spent time this season bouncing between the active roster, the 46-man roster and the practice roster. He’s earned playing time on the special teams unit and is doing whatever he is asked to do. “He’s playing well on special teams,” Campbell said. “He’s another guy who is very promising.

snapper position. For rookies, contributing to the Redblacks isn’t just about what happens on the field. Many Redblacks players are often found out in the community teaching kids about football, or helping out - as players did during the Ottawa River flood last spring. “That’s a big part for us,” Campbell said. “We think it’s really important to get in to the community and do stuff off the field. We really like to integrate those young guys in to that and they’ve been fantastic. They give back, which is great.” While a professional football career is more often than not a brief one, these Redblack rookies are doing everything they can to impress the coach and extend their stay in Ottawa. “Really enjoying it,” Johnson said. “This is a really nice city. Lots of green space out here. Good fan support and I have a great time playing out here.”

other put the last lid on the jar of plum preserves. They had stewed on the back of the Findlay Oval all morning. Then with a slotted spoon, she put them in the big brown bowl, and when they were cool enough to handle, with her well-scrubbed hands she squished out the stones, which were put on the breadboard.

The smell of the spices, as the corn, or beets, cucumbers, or tomatoes stewing on the stove filled the kitchen. Mother would ladle out a heaping spoonful into a fruit nappy, and I would butter a slice of homemade bread, and dip it into the relish, and devour it in minutes. I knew if I asked for a second helping, Mother would say, “Better not...you don’t want to spoil your dinner.” Even if dinner was hours away, only one fruit nappy was all I was given, but how I loved that special treat. I think I was the only one in our entire family who liked crispy fried pork rinds. Before a slab of smoked bacon was fried, it was sliced thin, and the rind removed. Mother knew I loved this rind, and so while the bacon was frying in the big black pan, room was made for the slivers of rind for me, and when they were as crisp as little pieces of raw spaghetti, another special treat came my way. Our ample vegetable garden served us well. I knew we would never go hungry over the coming winters when those shelves in the dug-out under the house we called a

cellar, were full of canned vegetables, preserves, jams and jellies. Mother would spend days this time of year, “putting down.” And if I happened to be in the kitchen when she was making cucumber relish, I never failed to have a cucumber sandwich. To me, thick slices between two

saw to it that what I got was ‘just a taste’. I would be expected to eat my dinner or supper as well. My sister Audrey, who was always concerned about gaining weight, could never understand why I was as thin as rail with all I ate between meals, and would say she could gain a pound drinking water! It wouldn’t

pieces of freshly baked bread, well buttered of course, was a special treat. No one else in my family, it seemed to me, liked cucumber sandwiches.

City backs off proposed 13 per cent increase in stormwater fees BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

The city will finance more work on water infrastructure through deficit thanks to a decision to back off a proposed increase in revenue from stormwater fees. Instead of the recommended 13 per cent per year over the next decade, proposed by staff at the city’s environment committee on Sept. 19, council voted on a motion that would keep the increases to five per cent per year. The council vote was held Sept. 27. Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder was in support of the compromise. “When we did the fee structure review, we went back to the drawing board to come up with something more fair,” she said of the changes to the water and stormwater billing done last year. The city needs $2.6 billion over the next 10 years to deal with the backlog of capital investments in the water infrastructure. Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper pointed out that deferring fee increases will mean another $1 million in debt financing down the road. Leiper, along with Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Michael Qaqish and Osgoode Coun. George Darouze, voted against the stormwater motion. Darouze said he hasn’t had the opportunity to properly consult with his resident on the proposed increase. “Saving a couple of bucks per year for residents now will create a debt problem for the future,” Leiper said.

City treasurer Marian Simulik said staff will have to come back to council on the fee increase for 2019. She also said staff will look at “non-financial measures,” to deal with needed work. Another element of the stormwater motion was to ask staff to provide a list of needed work. Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt said it’s tough to support a fee increase when councillors don’t know where the money is going. “Residents want to know what the needs are and where their money’s going,” he said. Capital Coun. David Chernushenko, who also heads the city’s environment committee, said he’s proud to support the motion with the knowledge that the city’s water infrastructure is being properly funded. “And no resident feels like they’re being unjustly charged,” he said. The stormwater fee was combined with the road tax before the city amalgamated in 2000. Since rural areas were absorbed into the City of Ottawa, they hadn’t been paying for the upkeep. The city has 8,500 kilometres of stormwater, water and sanitary pipes. There are 92 pump stations and 5,800 culverts. There’s also the Lemieux Island and Britannia water treatment facilities. According to the capital asset management report, which was also presented to the committee, 93 per cent of city assets are in fair to very good condition. The infrastructure that needs repairs is triaged according to need, based on the city’s risk-based approach.
