Thousands flock to Tanger opening Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

News - If there was any doubt that Ottawa residents were excited for the grand opening of the Tanger Outlets mall in Kanata on Oct. 17, there isn’t now. Thousands of people travelled from across the city and farther to be some of the first shoppers at a selection of retail stores that Steven Tanger, president and CEO of Tanger Outlets, said are unique in Ottawa. “There is nothing like this that has ever been here before,” he said. “We have 75 of the best brand-name stores in the world.” See MALL, page 4

Local children pray for safer world with Peace Pole Kanata United Church has one of the more than 200,000 Peace Poles around the world Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

Community - Installing a white post with the words “May peace prevail on Earth” on it may seem like a fairly simple act, but to the children at Kanata United Church, it meant a lot more. The church is now proud to be a part of a worldwide initiative that connects people in 180 countries, said the church’s minister for children and youth, Beverley Buckingham. It’s something she has been excited about for several years, and an idea the students of the church school latched on to immediately, she said. The Peace Pole movement began in 1955 in Japan when Masahisa Goi, who grew up greatly affected by the atom-

ic bombing of Nagasaki and Hiroshima during the Second World War, was searching for a way to promote world peace. Coming up with the phrase “May peace prevail on Earth,” Goi set about spreading his message, and Peace Poles bearing his phrase in various languages were born. Now, many thousands of Peace Poles have been installed around the world, with one more added by the Kanata church on Sept. 21, the international Day of Peace. The various languages that could be included on the pole were of particular interest to the students at the church, said Buckingham. “There is a page of translations on the website for the Peace Pole movement, so

you can translate (the peace phrase) into any single language that is out there, and I think that really touched (the students), that people around the world would be able to translate it into their own language, which connects us,” she said. The students decided to include the translations in English, French, Algonquin and Chinese for their indoor Peace Pole, in honour of Canada’s bilingualism, the Chinese members of their congregation, and because the church is built on Algonquin land, said Buckingham. However, that pole had a fifth side, and the students decided to put musical notes from John Lennon’s “Imagine” on the last side because of the church’s strong connection with music, she said.

A da m, M ille r , K e l ly L

For the four-sided outdoor pole, the students chose English, French, Algonquin and Hebrew translations, with the last one chosen to honour the church scripture’s history. “(The students) thought it was really cool,” said Buckingham. Though some may look at the white, four-sided post in front of the church as just a white pole, Buckingham said being part of the Peace Pole movement has much more meaning. “It connects us to all these other sites and these other countries who also are saying that they stand up for peace,” she said. “So this says we are not just a community that thinks, ‘Oh, peace is a nice thing.’ We are a community that actively talks about peace and does what we can to promote peace in the world. And (the Peace Pole) is simply a prayer that we offer every single day. That could be powerful. Adam Kveton/Metroland

Kanata native authors paper on local history Lindsay Hogan’s work honoured with a spot in Beaverbrook branch Kanata Room Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

Submitted

Kanata native and researcher Lindsay Hogan, centre, officially submits her thesis, entitled From a ‘New Town’ to a Mature Urban Community, to the Beaverbrook library branch’s Kanata Room, with Beaverbrook library manager Donna Clark, left, and Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson on Sept. 23.

Community - Kanata native Lindsay Hogan sought a special kind of collection as she pored over decades’ worth of local newspaper editions. Rather than searching for stories on local causes and events or even for pictures of friends and family, Hogan was looking for something different to provide a new look into Kanata’s history. Inspired by Kanata’s origins and her love for Bill Teron’s vision of the community, Hogan’s thesis entitled From a ‘New Town’ to a Mature Urban Community uses housing development advertisements from 1964 to 2012 to show how Kanata has changed. That research showed how advertisement under Teron began as simply as, “Come see Kanata,” but as the number of developers grew, so did the messaging.

“It was as though people didn’t need to be reminded or convinced of what Kanata was – they already knew it existed and they knew they wanted to live there,” said Hogan. “They key became figuring out in which neighbourhood, in which

type of home, and at what cost.” Hogan documented this transition through hours and hours spent in City of Ottawa archives, and many more in the Beaverbrook library branch’s Kanata Room. Now, Hogan’s finished work has been honoured with its own spot in the Kanata Room collection on Sept. 23. See CHANGE, page 7

Mall expected to create 1,000 jobs: Tanger president Continued from page 1

“You can buy direct from the manufacturers. You don’t have to pay the middle man their profit, which is great, and you save money. You save a lot of money,” he said. For many, the price of admission was a long wait on Highway 417, as shoppers inched their way to the parking entrance across the highway from the Canadian Tire Centre, or walked across overpasses from blocks away. For some, the lineups didn’t end there, with customers queued up outside Michael Kors and a few other spots around the mostly outdoor mall. But that didn’t dampen Orléans resident Kathy Schiavo’s experience. “It’s awesome, it’s fantastic,” said Schiavo as she stood in the lineup outside Michael Kors. “(The mall) has got deals and new stores in Ottawa. There is finally a place for women to shop.” According to Tanger Outlets’ own

statistics, its customers tend to be 66 per cent women and have an average annual household income of $71,000. Anne Postma from Kanata was a little bit more reserved in her reaction to the new mall, saying her openingday shopping was, “So far, so good.” Overall, she said the mall is a good thing for Ottawa, but could actually be a little bit bigger. Tanger said he was thrilled by the success of the opening day, but added that Ottawa’s reaction is “pretty normal. “There are not a lot of outlet centres in the United States and there are certainly not a lot in Canada, so when we open a Tanger centre, there is great excitement and people come and look,” he said. Jobs

The $115-million mall is expected to create about 1,000 full- and parttime retail jobs, said Tanger, while an additional 700 jobs were created during the construction phase of the

centre. Tanger said whether or not the 1,000 projected jobs go to locals is up to the retailers themselves who hire their own employees, while Tanger has its own team, he said. Among the stores like Coach, Guess, Tommy Hilfiger, Puma and Adidas were people dressed up in costume, including a scarecrow, a tree and a ninja turtle. Down one of the outdoor walking lanes was a Coca-Cola machine that dispensed free drinks to anyone who would hug it. There was also a skating rink and a climbing wall, with fireworks scheduled for the evening of Oct. 17, and a performance by Olympic figure skating medalists Tessa Virtue and Scott Moire at noon on Oct. 18. Tanger said the Kanata location at 8555 Campeau Dr. was chosen because of the easy access to Highway 417 and the proximity to the Canadian Tire Centre. “Everybody knows how to get to the arena, so it’s an easy place to find,” he said.

Candidates debate way to a smarter city in Kanata North City planning, transit and intelligent energy use major themes Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com

News - A mishmash of candidates, including the three vying for councillor in Kanata North, took on some of the city’s broadest issues at a debate with a “building a smarter city” theme on Oct. 14. The debate, organized by the Ottawa chapter of the Professional Engineers of Ontario, was staged with the hope of elevating conversations on key issues in the 2014 municipal election while striving to show that co-operation amongst councillors is what’s needed to create a smarter city, said Ray Barton, CEO for Vitesse Re-Skilling who helped to organize the debate. “It’s collectively that we build a smarter city; it’s not individually,” he said. Other candidates attending included mayoral candidate Anwar Syed, Kitchissippi candidate Jeff Leiper and Knoxdale-Merivale candidate Cristian Lambiri. Candidates were asked what they

see their roles as being when connecting planners and developers with stakeholders, with Lansdowne Park being one recent example. Matt Muirhead brought the issue straight to Kanata North, saying poor planning is the cause of most of the community’s gripes, with closed-door meetings between the city and developers being the source of that. He said he would fight to end those kinds of meetings and get the community involved immediately, before it “has got a gun to its head.” Jeff Seeton said pocket rezoning is the issue, and that the community should pre-empt developers’ plans by planning what they want to go into an area first, and then finding developers who would be interested in building what the community wants. Marianne Wilkinson said the Ontario Planning and Development Act allows anyone to apply to rezone a piece of land, and that she often finds out about proposed re-

zoning and development plans the same time that the community does. She added that getting the community involved early is the key. Lambiri suggested pocket rezoning happens because the official plan for the area is too loose. It is up to the planning committee and, ultimately, councillors to make tighter rules that allow for less pocket rezoning. EQUAL DEVELOPMENT

Lorne Cutler, a member of the audience of about 30 people, said development between urban, suburban and rural areas aren’t equal because suburban and rural councillors allow development plans to go ahead in urban areas, but do everything they can to keep them out of their wards. He asked if the candidates would fight against inappropriate development in all wards. Leiper said a conversation on where high-rises should be allowed to be built has to occur, which would involve developers, city staff and residents. Syed said compromises at city hall with regards to zoning happen because companies are still allowed to make donations to municipal candidates. If elected, Syed said he would push to ban candidates from accepting donations from companies and developers. Muirhead said that high-rises are fine so long as they are built in the appropriate spots. There are ideal spots in Kanata North for highrises, he said, just not in places like Beaverbrook.

ADAM KVETON/METROLAND

Kanata North candidate Marianne Wilkinson speaks during the “building a smarter city” debate in Kanata North on Oct. 14. said, if elected, he would encourage the use of electric cars and invest in electric car charging stations across the city. Wilkinson said there is already a new charging station at the renovated Beaverbrook library branch. She went on to say that keeping recyclables out of landfills will do the most good in halting greenhouse gas emissions. Muirhead and Seeton agreed, touting their solutions for fixing the green bin program. Lambiri disagreed wholeheartedly, saying only three per cent of greenhouse gases come from garbage, while the vast majority comes from transportation. He said electrifying public transit will have the biggest impact, as most of Ontario’s electricity comes from nuclear and hydro facilities. Leiper said, if elected, he would push to re-introduce a City of Ottawa greenhouse gas emission reduction target, to which the city would be responsible. The debate also touched on the city’s light rail transit plan, with Muirhead saying it was unacceptable that the transit line won’t extend to Kanata until after 2048. “We have a robust economy here,” he said, adding that Kanata should not be ignored and that, if elected, he would push to get Kanata into the

second phase of the plan rather than the third. “We have traffic going both ways every day … we deserve that service,” he said. Wilkinson said Kanata will get light rail transit, but in the meantime, a rapid bus system is being created to serve Kanata. Syed said the light rail transit plan is a waste of money, and that, if elected, he would work to have an alternative transit plan that costs less by refurbishing existing rail tracks in Ottawa. Wilkinson said making use of existing track is something she has pushed for, but something the city has opposed. Lambiri called light rail transit “the future of Ottawa,” saying it would reduce greenhouse gas emissions and adding that Kanata should be included in phase two of the light rail transit plan. No winner was chosen at the end of the debate, said organizer Guy Boone, vice chair of the Ottawa professional engineer group. While Boone said he was impressed by Lambiri in particular, Barton said he thought Kanata North voters had three strong candidates to choose from. “Each one has got some good, strong points, and each one has a few weaknesses.”

homes they built. This was typical of the 1990s, said Hogan, when there were nearly 20 builders in the area. “I think the most obvious point I concluded was that the ads truly represented the natural maturation of a suburban environment,” she said. “Kanata could not remain a self-contained ‘New Town’ forever, and inherent growth and development was inevitable.” Though Hogan said she loved Teron’s original vision for Kanata and laments its loss, she said her research is not meant to pass judgement, but to stir up thought through unique observation. After finishing her 102page paper, Hogan said she was thrilled to have her work placed in the Kanata Room. “I never thought when I was sitting in that room that my thesis would end up there,” she said. “Now I feel like a piece of my love for Kanata will always be present in that room.”

Hogan, a graduate of Carleton University’s environmental studies program, began her thesis hoping to show how Kanata grew from its very inception in the 1960s to present day. The subject was inspired by her own upbringing in the area, she said. “My family and I moved to Kanata when I was a baby,” said Hogan. “Over the last 25 years, my family and I have lived in Bridlewood, Katimavik, Glen Cairn, and lastly, Beaverbrook.” “I have spent the majority of my life here and I have witnessed a lot of change.” Choosing a unique way to document that change, Hogan collected a database of newspaper ads promoting new housing developments in Kanata between 1964 and 2012. After distilling the dominant themes, she created a

timeline showing the community’s growth. Hogan found that, after about a decade of cohesive advertising, the ad messaging fragmented. “Early advertisements for Kanata were very place-specific, in that William Teron aimed to attract buyers to simply ‘Come see Kanata,’ as it was unlike any other area the city had to offer,” said Hogan. However, from the ’70sonward, smaller sub-communities began advertising the living styles available in each community, as well as various builders. “Kanata Lakes, from its inception, was promoted as a luxurious golfing community,” said Hogan as an example. “(But) no community was ever promoted using a single strategy.” In addition to typical advertising ploys, ads began to promote specific builders and what was unique about the

Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not lose the experience

he people of Ottawa will choose a mayor, councillors and school trustees next week. Most voters will have plenty of names to choose from. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good thing. Municipal politics is a unique opportunity to directly affect government. There are no parties or masses of representatives to cajole. Everyone is on a first name basis. Many people have stepped up and sought your vote. Most will not come out on top. But by broaching ideas across the spectrum, they have prompted discussion. The status quo â&#x20AC;&#x201C; served up in four-year terms â&#x20AC;&#x201C; deserves to be shaken up, whether or not every platform plank is sound from your point of view. Those people who do not win their battles should remember they are valued, and they should stay connected to city hall. From the candidates who miss election by a vote or two to those who seem to only get votes from family and friends, all should consider the

next four years a chance to seek change. Attending meetings, writing letters, having conversations in the community and in the hallways at 110 Laurier Ave. West: all those activities keep the election winners on their toes, and force them to adapt to what their electorate really wants to see them accomplish. Campaign experience engaging with the community can be transferred to working with community associations, volunteer organizations, support groups, appearing as committee delegations, and working with community health centres. Our basic social systems can only benefit from a wide range of input, especially from the kind of knowledge the most engaged participants can offer. Those elected should do all they can to engage and encourage input from those who did not win. The city could also take the opportunity to expand on public education about how city government works â&#x20AC;&#x201C; such as the explanation of development regulations â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that could better educate future generations of city councillors.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not what we want, but what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve lost

ith less than a week to go until the municipal election, it is a bit difficult to know what it is all about here. In other places, the issues are easier to define. In Toronto, for example, the issue is still Rob Ford, even though he is not running for mayor. Here, what is it? Rapid transit? What we have now seems like a done deal. Taxes? Câ&#x20AC;&#x2122;mon. Green bins may be the closest thing to a real issue, which shows, among other things, that Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s problems are far from serious. The green bin issue, in fact, may not be about garbage pickup at all. Rather, the green bin may be a symbol of all the services we used to

drinks were free, although that turned out to be not so great an idea. When the first in-flight entertainment systems were introduced, you got free headphones. Now all of these things cost money. Further, if you want the kind of legroom that you got automatically several decades ago, you pay extra for it. And soon, you will be required to pay extra if you want to check your suitcases.

technologically advanced than ever before? If so, how come we have less of what we used to have? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the emotional context of the green bin debate. We used to have garbage pickup every week. Now it is every two weeks. Abolish the green bin, say some, and return to weekly garbage pickup. You can understand the nostalgic appeal of this, despite the fact that the green bin seems to be working fine for many people, although some people complain about animals eating holes in it. Sure the garbage cans donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go every week, but the green bins do and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where the smelly stuff is. Plus, it gets recycled. Some ardent environmentalists are claiming that the green bin system, along with blue and black bins, enables them to put out virtually no garbage at all. The less ardent among us might be able to get to that point if plastic wrap would somehow disappear,

plastic wrap being about all that remains after the black, blue and green bins have been filled. But it is easy to understand to the call for a return to weekly garbage pickup, in a society in which so much else has been taken away.

not Scotland should become independent or remain part of the United Kingdom drew more than 80 per cent of eligible voters to the polls, mostly in a single day. The interesting thing about that particular vote? It marked the first time 16-year-olds were allowed to participate. This bodes well. It means that when people are engaged, when they care enough about the issues, they will take the time to exercise their right to franchise. It remains to be seen, but the Scottish experience suggests perhaps it’s time we have a R0472496643

serious talk about reducing the voting age in general, provincial and municipal elections. If we can get people interested and involved in civic society in high school, excited to cast a ballot and drive a car for the first time as a mark of their independence, perhaps voting, like driving, will be a habit they will continue throughout their adult lives. For now, there are more than 600,000 eligible voters in this city. Polls will be open on Monday, Oct. 27, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Please, get out and vote, and bring a friend.

But 56 per cent of eligible voters in Ottawa stayed home on election day in 2010. That means Ottawa’s mayor and city council were chosen by just over 40 per cent of the adult population.

Marianne knows how to get things done. Marianne is improving all modes of transportation in Kanata North Marianne is the past Chair of the Transportation Committee and current member of the Transportation Committee and Transit Commission - she has a complete understanding of transportation and transit planning at City Hall.

Royal Ottawa plans reunion for tuberculosis patients Kanata Kourier Standard Staff

Community - From the time the Lady Grey Hospital opened in 1910 until the last TB ward closed in 1970, more than 11,000 TB patients were admitted to the hospital, also known as the Royal Ottawa Sanatorium. Anne Raina, the co-author of Clara’s Rib has a lot of memories of the San. As the youngest of ten children, she watched her father and seven of her siblings contract tuberculosis and spend many years in the San. She hopes to bring other families connected to the San together again with a reunion on Nov. 1 at the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Raina’s father died when she was eight years old; her eldest brother, John, died at 18 and her youngest brother, Billy, died at age four of TB meningitis. Her sister, Clara, with whom Clara’s Rib is co-authored, entered the San in 1939 when she was twelve years old and was discharged for the final time in 1952 when she had just turned twentysix. “Since I published Clara’s Rib, dozens of people who spent time in the San with Clara or other of my family members have contacted me,” Raina said. “Each of them has such rich stories of their own experiences with TB and the San to share. Many of them expressed the feeling there was nobody with whom they could discuss their San experiences – that no one understands what it was like. The idea of holding a reunion materialized from these conversations.” That idea was shared with Debbie Smith of the Canadian Lung Association (formerly the Anti-Tuberculosis Association) and Linette McElroy, a TB nurse educator and a member of Stop TB Canada, an advocacy group working to support Canada’s efforts to-

wards eliminating TB internationally. Soon, Debbie, Linette and Anne were enthusiastically organizing a reunion. They are grateful for the support of the Canadian Lung Association and Stop TB Canada in this initiative, and they are really pleased that the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre is providing the use of their facilities for the reunion. This location will be familiar to everyone who was in the San since there is a long shared history between the two hospitals. With the introduction of drug therapy for TB in the 1950s and ‘60s, the need for beds for TB patients started to decline. Some of those vacant beds were then designated for mental health. The last TB ward closed in 1970. Over time the hospital became the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre, with the original buildings eventually being torn down and replaced with the current ones. As well as reuniting former patients, their family members, former staff and their family members, the reunion has other goals. It is important that the stories of former TB patients do not disappear. They provide a vital piece of the history of TB. The hope of the organiz-

The City has squandered ten years looking at an unproven technology while other communities such as Durham have gone with proven solutions. They started to plan BEFORE reaching 60% diversion. Durham will have their plant paid for in ten years, and at the same time they are operating a successful recycling program. We should be able to do the same â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but we need to start planning NOW. â&#x20AC;˘ Representation and Leadership â&#x20AC;&#x201C; We need a viable solution for engaging citizens in our Ward â&#x20AC;&#x201C; newspaper columns, Twitter and Facebook arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough for meaningful discussions.

Veteran takes to skies in vintage Tiger Moth Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

News - Bruce Bennetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face split into a grin as he taxied into the Carp airport. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh God, it was so thrilling,â&#x20AC;? said the 90-year-old veteran. Bennet, a pilot officer during the Second World War, took to the skies in a vintage 1941 Tiger Moth on Oct. 10 for a joyride over West Carleton and Arnprior â&#x20AC;&#x201C; home to two of the 105 airports built during the

war. The Tiger Moth was used for training during the Second World War. The vintage plane is now owned by pilot Robert Fleck, a former military jet fighter pilot who flies for Air Canada. Before the Second World War there were only 235 trained pilots in the country, said Fleck, a history buff and former president of Vintage Wing Canada. Thanks to the British Commonwealth Air Training Program,

Bruce Bennet settles into a vintage 1941 Tiger Moth.

50,000 pilots and 210,000 crew were trained in four years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most of them would have had their first flight ever in a Tiger Moth,â&#x20AC;? said Fleck, who lives in Centrepointe. Bennet, who lives in Rockcliffe, had never flown in a plane before signing up to join the Air Force. After 125 hours in the air, he was sent to navigation school, a 20-week course that started at 8 every morning and often didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t finish until midnight. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was extremely intense,â&#x20AC;? said Bennet, who enlisted at age 18 after years as an air cadet. He was given a conditional discharge towards the end of 1945; if he was needed in the Pacific, he would have to be ready to go at a momentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s notice. He spent two weeks towards the end of the war in New York City with a number of his comrades. â&#x20AC;&#x153;New York City was euphoric at that time with the indication that the war would be over,â&#x20AC;? he said.

The family contacted Vintage Wing to see if they could

repeat the flight and on Oct. 10, after three re-scheduled flights due to stormy weather, Fleck and Bennet were soaring a few thousand feet over the city, tailed by pilot Ulrich Bollinger, of North Gower, and myself in another aircraft.

AN OPEN LETTER FROM NORM STERLING & SENATOR VERN WHITE: ON OCTOBER 27th, VOTE MATT MUIRHEAD FOR CITY COUNCILLOR On October 27th, you have a big decision to make as you vote for the next City Councillor for our ward: you can choose positive change to build tomorrow’s Kanata North or you can choose the status quo. In our view, Kanata North needs to be treated fairly, to be taken seriously again at City Hall and to be included in the City of Ottawa’s Light Rail Plan. We need a new voice representing our ward who will offer commonsense solutions to issues like fixing the green bin program, improving development practices in Kanata and who has the backbone to fight the pattern of putting unfair tax increases on residents. In our view, Matt Muirhead is the only candidate in this race who has the vision, the strength of character, the experience and the ideas to make a real difference for Kanata North. Simply put, Kanata North needs Matt Muirhead at City Hall, now more than ever. Over the course of this campaign, Matt has laid out a positive vision for Kanata North that we are proud to support: - Light Rail to Kanata and improved transit services: Matt is the only candidate who will fight to ensure that Kanata is included in the City of Ottawa’s Light Rail plan; a plan that, currently, leaves Kanata out until past the year 2048. Matt will establish a Kanata North Transit Committee, made up of residents from across the ward, to ensure real consultation on improving transit routes, rider safety, passenger comfort, and other transit-related issues; - Improving the green bin: Matt is the only candidate who will push to make the program more user-friendly by allowing plastic bags for disposal purposes – which Orgaworld, the company that processes the waste, has been asking the City to do since 2009; - Kanata Central Park: Matt is the only candidate with a plan to save all 11-hectares of the woods along Kanata Avenue from further development, and to turn it in to a managed Kanata Central Park with pathways, lighting, benches and a bandstand; - Oversight on development in Kanata North: Matt will fight to end spot-rezoning, push for a moratorium on closeddoor meetings between developers and City staff, and will establish a Kanata North Development Oversight Committee to ensure residents have a seat at the table throughout the development process; - An Action Plan for Seniors: Matt is the only candidate with a comprehensive Action Plan for Senior Citizens in Kanata North, which includes a walkability audit with safety inspections of paths used by residents, park beautification and improved lighting, and improving snow and ice removal procedures for local pathways and frequently-crossed roadways. Matt will

also work with community partners to implement a Kanata shuttle service to ensure seniors can easily, and quickly, access both business and recreation facilities; - An Accountability Pledge: Matt has committed to a twoterm limit as City Councillor. Matt will curb the abuse of a councillor’s office budget by stopping the practices of using taxpayer money to wine and dine friends and end the usage of office resources to promote an incumbent’s re-election. Matt will reject free parking passes, free VIP passes and free tickets to events across the City from local businesses and groups; - Fighting Unfair Tax Increases: Matt is the only candidate who will stand up against unfair tax increases at every turn – like the $2.5 million, 10-year, Kanata North Levy to bury 12 hydro poles along Kanata Avenue that residents were hit with in 2011. He will look for efficiencies and ways to deliver better value for tax dollars. He won’t say one thing to get your vote, then be a reliable yes vote on every tax increase this City tries to push through every year. Matt will also push the city to treat residents of private neighbourhoods more fairly by ending the twice-pay effect of paying full property taxes for core city services they already pay for themselves like snow removal, sewer maintenance and road repair; and, - Kanata North Dog Park: Matt will work with residents to create a fully-fenced, off-leash dog park in Kanata North. Who is Matt Muirhead? Matt Muirhead is a parent, teacher, and community activist, who understands the changing needs and dynamics of our community. He has three young children, two daughters aged 12 and 8 and a 6-year old son, and lives in Kanata Lakes where he has served as President of the Kanata Lakes Community Association since 2011. He is also the former President of the Briarbrook-Morgan’s Grant Community Association. Nominated for Kanata North Citizen of the Year in 2013, Matt was the founder of the Kanata North Multicultural Festival, running two hugely successful events that brought out hundreds of people to celebrate the cultural mosaic that makes our ward so strong. He has organized several community events such as multiple “Winter Family Fun Days” and “Summerfest”, bringing out families across the ward to meet new friends and enjoy activities in their neighbourhood. Matt spearheaded a graffiti-fighting initiative in Briarbrook and Morgan’s Grant that virtually eliminated graffiti in these areas over the course of a three year period. He actively promoted the program through public meetings across Kanata, and at the City of Ottawa, leading the City of Ottawa to build their own graffiti program based on the model he piloted in BriarbrookMorgan’s Grant. Matt has served as the founding chair of the Kanata North Council of Community Associations – an advocacy committee

that addresses local development and other key issues important to the citizens and business of Kanata North. Further, Matt has been a leader in working with the National Capital Commission on inter-provincial bridge studies, helped negotiate an investment in the greening of the Morgan’s Grant community with Trinity Developments and negotiated the greening of the hydro corridor in Morgan’s Grant with Minto. He has also led multiple spring and fall “Cleaning the Capital” events. Now, Matt wants to take his community experience, and track record of results, to the next level by being your voice at City Hall. It’s time for a change in Kanata North – on October 27th, trust Matt Muirhead with your vote for City Councillor. Vote for Matt on October 27th Friends, we ask you to vote for Matt on Election Day to send a new young voice to City Hall who will get things done and who will always fight on behalf of the residents of Kanata North. While we greatly respect those who have served the community before, we must consider what we need now and in our future. If you are tired of status quo politicians who don’t keep their word, who run to be somebody versus to do something, who say one thing during an election and then promptly do the opposite once elected, then give Matt your vote on Election Day – he’s focused on the next 50 years of Kanata’s future, not on the next 4 years of a political career. If you have supported another candidate in previous elections, but like us believe it is time for a change in this ward, we ask you to give Matt your vote – he is the only candidate in a real position, with the experience and the energy, to deliver the change we need in Kanata North. On October 27th, we ask you to join us in casting a vote for Matt Muirhead to be the next City Councillor for Kanata North. Warmest regards,

Vern White Senator (Ontario) Chief of Police, 2007 – 2012, City of Ottawa

Hubley doesn’t speak for me RE: 2015 federal election race ‘is not and never was on the table’; Oct. 16, 2014 To the editor,

It is municipal election time and so I feel it is important for people to talk about the record of their elected officials. I want to make it very clear: Allan Hubley does not speak for me. While I have personally thanked him for his service, I find myself often feeling very poorly represented by Hubley at city hall. Due to his stated opposition to “complete streets”, his insistence that the city has no role to play in fighting global warming, or his support for

widening Hope Side Road through Stoney Swamp (what the National Capital Commission has identified as a “core natural area” of its Greenbelt), I will most certainly not be voting for Hubley on election day. As the city councillor for Kanata South, he has done nothing to oppose the end of Canada Post door-to-door delivery here, despite the burden that this will place on people who have disability challenges, or seniors, or the risk that the City could be liable for people falling on icy roads as they try to pick up their mail at the new community mailboxes. In your Oct. 16 article, Hubley is quoted as saying, enter-

ing the 2015 federal election race “is not and never was on the table.” But just a few weeks prior to that he told the Ottawa Citizen: “I put nothing off the table for the future.” Sadly, neither of the other two candidates appear worthy of our support either, which is why myself and many other people in Kanata South will be marking our ballots for city councillor with “None of the Above.” In the next municipal election, Kanata South community members will work to ensure we have a progressive candidate running for office that many people will be happy to support.

Snappy headlines not fair - or accurate To the editor,

Carleton -Mississippi Mills MP Gordon O’Connor has sent his latest update from Parliament Hill into our homes. One article’s headline, Fairness at the Pumps, caught my attention. His party is good with snappy headlines and titles for bills to make the voter

believe they are delivering the goods. Could his federal government finally be doing something to lower the ridiculously high prices that rise in unison despite the gas and oil companies’ assurances there is no collusion on pricing? Well I hope folks read the article because what Mr. O’Connor was promising is fairness that we get the actual amount of gas we think we did. That’s right. It’s a crackdown on the measuring devices at the pumps. And how big a problem is

that you ask? It’s all in the article. Up to six per cent of the time we do not get the amount we think we do. So Mr. O’Connor is dealing with a six per cent problem on measurement instead of fixing what folk are really complaining about at the gas pumps. It’s okay to fix the measurement problem but I wonder how many people got that when they read his headline, Fairness at the Pumps? It makes me think we need to measure our MP’s accuracy.  Rick Prashaw

Don’t let a fall get you down Community - Every year, one in three Canadians over the age of 65 will take a fall – often with serious consequences.

Injuries such as hip, wrist and pelvic fractures are common in this age group and can have a lasting impact.

Most falls happen in the home, so that is the first place to start taking precautions. A few steps of prevention can help you

stay safely on your feet, as follows: • Remove your reading glasses when you are walking. • Never climb on a chair or stool to reach something. Always ask for assistance. • If you have a cat or dog,

consider putting a bell or reflector on its collar. It’s easy to stumble on an affectionate or sleeping pet in your path. • Consider investing in a cordless phone that you can keep near you. • Always sit down to put on

or take off shoes and clothing. Place a chair or bench near the entrance. • Wear shoes or slippers with non-slip soles indoors. • Ask for help if you need it. News Canada

Martha Nixon clearly remembers nine chaotic weeks in 2002 when her older sister, Sherril, was diagnosed with invasive lung and brain cancer, being treated in a noisy hospital, longing for peace and comfort.

Sherril was admitted to the May Court Hospice, desperately sick and unable to communicate, yet wanting her two adult children to re-connect and find a bond with her new husband, Mark Sunderland. Staff made it possible for brother and sister to sleep in her room and for extended family, including a new baby, to picnic in the garden outside of her window. Sherril was there for six days and staff ensured support and calm surrounded the Nixon family. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hospice was like an oasis of calm.

Notice of Study Completion Riverside South Elevated Water Storage Tank

Class Environmental Assessment Report Available for Review The City of Ottawa has completed a Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) study for the selection of a preferred location for the Riverside South Elevated Water Storage Tank. The tank, which is identified in the City’s Infrastructure Master Plan, is expected to be required to supplement the supply of water under future peak demand conditions. A suitable property must be identified and reserved for this future purpose. This project has been planned as Schedule ‘B’ projects under the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment document (2007). The purpose of the Class EA study was to confirm project need and justification, document existing environmental conditions, examine alternatives and potential impacts, and recommend the preferred location.

day tournament against the Sherbrooke Sprint, Quebec’s provincial AAA soccer champions, with a 2-2 tie on Oct. 10 followed by a 4-2 win on Oct. 12. The Sprint hosted the interprovincial tournament at Terra Cotta Park at Pointe-Claire, Que. During the tournament, each team was awarded three points for a win or one point for a tie. If the teams are tied after playing two games, the winner is decided by penalty kicks. ONTARIO LEAGUE WIN

The Force’s prospects for a championship seemed all but extinguished leading into the final games of the regular season, but the team finished the year with two ties and four wins – including a 2-1 home-field victory in the final game of the regular-season to win the Ontario Youth Soccer League east division by a single point. The Force’s lineup featured a compelling cast, including David Chung, the team’s star player, and Rowlands, a goalkeeper who was barely tested last year while his team dominated regional opponents by a combined score of 141-9 in 17 victories. But he stepped into the spotlight to block two penalty kick attempts in the championshipdeciding shootout. The Force won the Ontario Youth Soccer League championship at the Hershey Centre in Mississauga on Oct. 4, defeat-

ing the Brampton Youth 4-2 off penalty kicks. The teams were tied 1-1 during regular play, forcing the game into an overtime penalty kick shootout. Nick Marriot, a centre back, scored the winning penalty kick goal for the Force, and Ottawa goalkeeper Luc Rowlands stopped two penalty kicks. The Force was energized by the historic win, said team captain Nic DiBerardino. “Everyone just went crazy. We jumped on the goalie and had a big dog pile,” he said. “It’s such a big honour to be able to say we won. To have such a great group of guys to win it with is even better. We’ve been together for years now; we all know each other so well and we’ve really gelled as a group; we’re like family.” The win marked the second time ever an Ottawa team had won a provincial championship over the past three decades, said Harris. COUPE-QUEBEC-ONTARIO CUP

A week after they won the provincial championship, the Force travelled to Pointe-Claire to play the Sprint for the CoupeQuebec-Ontario Cup. The first game was a hard fought and often nervous affair with plenty of drama. A Sprint player broke his leg in the battle and a Force player even managed to score in his own net. The Force managed to secure a 2-2 tie on the strength of goals

by Ryan Massoud and Hassan Hamed. In the second game, the Force scored the first goal with a header by Chung off a free kick taken by Massoud. Massoud scored the second goal of the game off a breakaway fed by Stefano Nicastro. Massoud slid the ball past the keeper to the right corner to make the score 2-0. The Sprint pulled within one goal just before halftime, scoring on a breakaway. In the second half, Hamed chested the ball past the Sprint goalkeeper to score his team’s third goal. The Sprint scored to once again make it a one-goal game, with a 3-2 score and only 10 minutes left in the match. But Massoud sealed the win with his second goal of the match. The Force’s back line Nick DiBerardino, Nick Marriot, Cedric Gravel, Tony Mikhael and Matt Pacheco locked out the Sprint’s speedy attack for the most part of both games. The battle in the middle was intense and physical with Ian Kerr, Stef Nicastro, Keenan Foley leaving nothing on the field but sweat and plenty of blood. The Force’s forwards Barou Junior Mbuyamba, Chung, Hamed, Coltess, Kristian Johnson and Massoud found the gaps and breached the opposing defence resulting in six goals in two games.

If concerns regarding this project cannot be resolved in discussion with the City of Ottawa, a person/party may request that the Minister of the Environment make an order for the project to comply with Part II of the Environmental Assessment Act (referred to as a Part II Order). This request must be received by the Minister at the address noted below, prior to November 24, 2014. A copy of the request should also be sent to the City of Ottawa at the above address.

News - Kanata North residents put their concerns to the ward’s three council candidates over the past several weeks, with a handful of issues proving to be key this election. After a pair of candidates debates on Oct. 3 and Oct. 14, attendees showed that development planning and light rail transit are top of mind in the run up to voting day on Oct. 27. At the Smarter City debate on Oct. 14, questions surrounding how to involve community members and stakeholders more in the planning process dominated a large portion of the discussion. Candidate Matt Muirhead pointed to closed-door meetings with developers as a major impediment to community involvement in planning, saying that the

not be ignored in phase two. He said repeatedly that, under the current plan, Kanata won’t see light rail transit until after 2048, and that if elected he would push to have Kanata included in the second phase of the plan. Seeton has said in his campaign literature that he supports the current transit plan. Community members brought up taxes repeatedly during the lead-up to election night. Much of Seeton’s campaign has been focused on keeping taxes down, with Seeton saying that tax rates should not go up from where they are now, and that the city should learn to live within its means. All three candidates took a stab at the green bin program, with Muirhead saying that Wilkinson took his idea to return weekly garbage pick-up in the summer months. He also advocated the use of plastic garbage bags in green bins, while Seeton said he would push for the use of compostable bags.

community should be involved immediately before “it has a gun to its head.” Incumbent Marianne Wilkinson said having the community involved throughout the process is the best way to plan development, but involving the community in early discussions is really up to the developer. She said that some developers have chosen to involve the community closely, and that has resulted in better planning, like the Taggart Group’s plan for a retirement residence at 100 Varley Ln. Otherwise, Wilkinson said she knows about development plans when the community does.

the city to develop their own plan for unused land, and then attract developers interested in creating the community’s vision. The city’s light rail transit plan was highlighted several times by both candidates and residents. That Kanata’s rail connection is not planned until the third phase of the project was a major sticking point. Wilkinson contended that, though she doesn’t agree that Orléans should get a connection in the second phase of planning and not Kanata, the community’s transit options have been much improved due to her efforts. She said the original plan was for rail to end at Lincoln Fields Station, but she pushed for a Canadian Tire Centre connection. Further, she said work on a rapid transit bus system to Kanata will start next year while the community waits for rail. A large part of Muirhead’s campaign focused on the light rail transit plan, saying Kanata should

News - Kanata South residents will have a choice between a councillor against higher taxes, one that questions big decisions at city hall, or more of the same according to the three candidates in Kanata South. Though incumbent candidate Allan Hubley looked to be acclaimed with no other candidates in the ward days before the cutoff date, David Abuwa and Bruce Faulkner registered on the last day, kicking off a short race. Hubley promised more infrastructure work and that he has no interest in

running federally. Abuwa said, if elected, he would work against the statusquo at city hall and question major decisions rather than simply go along with them. Faulkner took aim at taxes, saying Kanata South residents are paying too much for projects taking place in other wards. All three candidates identified flooding as the major issue in the ward last term. While Hubley touted that he secured $35 million in flood mitigation work, both Faulkner and Abuwa said Hubley’s response has not been adequate, as there remain flooding problems and the work remains unfinished. Faulkner said he believes

taxes will be the major issue in Kanata South in the upcoming term. “Services are going to go up in price, and some people are starting to face retirement, so their incomes are going to drop. It’s going to start weighing on people,” he said. “It’s unsustainable the way that we are going.” Abuwa identified various issues going forward, including garbage pickup, saying, “People are fed up with having to spray out the maggots in their green bin because they have to wait two weeks to get their garbage out.” He went on to say community mailboxes will be an issue, especially for those with mobility issues, calling the walk to pick up your mail “cruel and unusual.” Hubley ran on his re-

cord, saying he has helped to bring speed-reducing projects to Kanata South streets as well as road infrastructure repairs, pushed for improvements to Hope Side Road to the West Hunt Club Road corridor and more. If re-elected, the infrastructure projects would continue, said Hubley, including entertainment related projects like getting a sugar bush and a splash pad that converts into a skating rink. Members of the community raised some questions as to whether Hubley has federal political aspirations in the near future, but Hubley said entering the 2015 federal race “is not and never was on the table,” and that if re-elected he intends to finish the four-year term.

Mayoral race comes down to two Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Despite attempts to fire up the electorate over issues such as light rail and garbage pickup, the mayoral race may be one of the sleepiest Ottawa has seen in years. In contrast to the 2010 election, which saw Jim Watson beat out embattled incumbent Larry O’Brien, former regional chairman Andy Haydon and former Capital Coun. Clive Doucet, the 2014 campaign has been mostly a two-horse race. The only candidate out of eight mayoral contenders to launch a serious campaign has been Mike Maguire, making his second bid for the mayor’s chair – he placed with 2.4 per cent of the vote in 2010. Unlike last time, there are both fewer incendiary issues and fewer personalities in the race leading up to the Oct. 27 vote. With the first phase of the

and use existing rail lines throughout the city to run a lower-frequency commuter service, at a cost of around $355 million. He has spent the campaign trying to set himself in contrast to Watson: he is a business executive, while Watson is a career politician.

Maguire said he’d slow down on acquiring new municipal debt and take a more austere approach to spending taxpayers’ dollars. two elections. For the record, Watson wants to stay the course on the light-rail plan that he’s been the architect of over the past four years. It would extend LRT west to Bayshore Station, south to Bowesville and east to Place D’Orléans by 2023 at a cost of $2.5 billion. Maguire would start over

Maguire said he’d slow down on acquiring new municipal debt and take a more austere approach to spending taxpayers’ dollars, although he is interested in boosting garbage pickup by returning to weekly service (a trash incinerator is his long-term solution).

light rail started, keeping tax increases within the rate of inflation and freezing recreational fees. But perhaps Watson’s biggest achievements at city hall have been less tangible: improving decorum around the council horseshoe and increasing transparency and accountability through a series of new policies. Another candidate, Anwar Syed, has also shown up to debates, but appears to be taking his candidacy less seriously. He sent an email to a number of council candidates whose platforms he agrees with asking them to carry a message to vote for him or Maguire for mayor. Syed has said light rail needs to reach further to the ‘burbs – Kanata, Barrhaven and Orléans – earlier than Watson’s plan, and at a lower cost – but has offered few details. He also wants to develop alternative routes to the city’s 400-series highways

and build overpasses and underpasses to eliminate roadways crossing rail tracks. Another mayoral candidate, Darren Wood, has been less visible but was the only other candidate to respond to an email request for a synopsis of his candidacy. He said his platform is about change, common sense and transparency. “A vote for me means a return to weekly garbage pickup, the end of the Orgaworld contract and an end to our debt,” Wood wrote in an email.

Other candidates registered to run for mayor are: Bernard Couchman, Rebecca Pyrah, Michael St. Arnaud and Robert White. In the end, it will come down to two: Maguire and Watson. While Maguire’s message might have more pull for conservative voters and those in rural wards like Osgoode, Rideau-Goulbourn and West Carleton-March, which went to Larry O’Brien in the last election, Maguire is running a tough race against a strong incumbent on Oct. 27.

On Friday Nov. 14, Famous PEOPLE Players brings their Good Old Rock and Roll show to Centrepointe Theatres. Creatures of every shape and size will rock and roll with larger than life characters, props, creatures, costumes and sets. Patrons of any age are sure to be inspired and delighted.

Is Your House Making You Sick? Symptoms: • • • • • • •

Headaches, fatigue, shortness of breath Hypersensitivity, nausea Worsening allergy, asthma symptoms Sinus congestion, cough, sneezing Eye, nose, throat, skin irritation Dizziness and nausea Chronic respiratory disease

Residential home heating has changed drastically over the last 20 years and in our effort to reduce energy used to heat our homes we have sealed our homes up like a tomb to prevent cold air from penetrating our house. In doing so we have set ourselves up to new problems that can cause all kinds of health issues that can have fatal consequences. Here is the information you need to know to keep you and your family safe this winter. Carbon Monoxide Poisoning is the number one cause of accidental poisoning deaths in Canada. Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, and deadly gas that kills quickly. CO is produced by the burning of fuels such as natural gas in gas ranges, cooktops, furnaces & hot water tanks in addition to the burning of wood, kerosene, and propane and of course exhaust from your car. This gas gets trapped in your home in the winter with deadly consequences. . Solution: Install a CO detector in your home (it is now the LAW in Ontario effective Oct. 2014). Note: The CO detector does not prevent carbon monoxide from building up in your home, it simply warns you when it is at unsafe levels where evacuation is mandatory. The only way to assure that your system is safe to operate is through regular annual maintenance & safety inspection by a licensed TSSA certified gas fitter. To learn more about what to look for in an inspection & maintenance visit www.FrancisPlumbing.com Dry air respiratory & skin conditions Dry sinuses, bloody noses, cracked lips, itchy skin, aged appearance, dehydration, continuous coughing, static electric shocks are all signs of a house that is simply too dry. Dry air can rob your body of moisture creating older looking skin and a host of other discomforts and health issues. Solution: Humidifiers can help soothe these familiar problems caused by dry indoor air and can also help ease symptoms of a cold or other respiratory conditions. But humidifiers can also make you sick if they aren't maintained properly or if humidity levels stay too high. If you use humidifiers, be sure to monitor humidity levels and keep your humidifier clean. Dirty humidifiers can breed mold or bacteria. Early symptoms of mold sickness include sneezing, itchy skin, headache, watery and itching eyes and skin irritation. Have questions about cleaning your humidifier or changing filters? Contact Francis Plumbing & Heating. Also note moisture can also build up inside your furnace & AC creating mold growth which then gets blown through your entire house. A proper furnace & AC maintenance can eliminate these potential threats in addition to minimizing your risk of CO poisoning.

Teaching youth to succeed on and off the ice News - There are a growing number of Canadian children playing hockey and municipal arenas are seeing lots of action this winter. With more than 565,000 young Canadians playing hockey in minor leagues, one canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t deny the national sportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s popularity. With almost 24,000 players last year and close to 34,000 this year, the atoMc and Ă&#x2030;quipeMcDo programs are thriving in ice rinks across Canada. Launched last year by McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Canada and endorsed by Hockey

Canada, atoMc Hockey and Ă&#x2030;quipe Mcdo support atom teams around the country and bantam teams in Quebec respectively. The programs go beyond traditional sponsorships by providing players with pro-style jerseys and socks while stressing the importance of teamwork. Thousands of teams across Canada have benefited from atoMc Hockey and Ă&#x2030;quipe McDo, like the Waterloo Minor Hockey League. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Over and above the sport, hockey has an impact on our youthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives.

We want to teach them teamwork, collaboration, perseverance and discipline. Since being part of the atoMc Hockey program, our players have developed a strong sense of pride and teamwork, which are evident in the performance on the ice, as well as at school. When we met with them again at the beginning of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s season, these skills and their enthusiasm were still there,â&#x20AC;? said Adam Elliott, a coach from the Waterloo Minor Hockey league. The atoMc Hockey and Ă&#x2030;quipe McDo programs have also given

some lucky teams the chance to meet with program ambassadors, Olympic gold medallists Drew Doughty (LA Kings), Marc-AndrĂŠ Fleury (Pittsburgh Penguins) and Tessa Bonhomme (Canadian Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Olympic Team). â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hockey has taught me a lot about the value of teamwork and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great to see so many kids playing the game and learning what it means to be a part of a team,â&#x20AC;? said Drew Doughty.

Carbon monoxide detectors made mandatory in Ontario Steph Willems

steph.willems@metroland.com

News - If they don’t already, homeowners will now have two safety alarms to check each year. Effective Oct. 15, the Ontario government has made functioning carbon monoxide detectors mandatory for all homes and multi-unit residential buildings. The regulation is an update of the province’s fire code, and is based on recommendations from an advisory committee led by the Office of the Fire Marshall and Emergency Management. Representatives from the province’s fire services, hotel and rental housing industries, condo owners and alarm

manufacturers had input in the recommendations. “We want Ontarians to be aware of the dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning because these tragedies are preventable,” stated Yasir Naqvi, minister of community safety and correctional services, in a media release. “The change to the Fire Code is all about making sure we keep our families and homes safe. I urge all Ontarians to install a car-

proponent of the legislation was John Gignac, co-chairman of the HawkinsGignac Foundation for (Carbon Monoxide) Education. Gignac, a long-time Ontario firefighter, campaigned for changes to the Fire Code following the carbon monoxide deaths of his niece, Laurie Hawkins, and her family in December 2008. A blocked chimney flue was blamed for the deaths. In their mem-

ory, Gignac formed a charitable foundation that campaigned for carbon monoxide awareness and distributed detectors to at-risk familes. In a released statement, Gignac urged Ontarians and all Canadians to install alarm “so we can combat the silent killer.” Resulting from Bill 77, the province’s first Carbon Monoxide Awareness Week will take place Nov. 1 to 8.

Elections are coming! What do I need to know about my right to vote? With Election Day across Ontario only days away, do you know your legal rights around voting? Ontario municipal elections are regulated by the Municipal Elections Act, 1996.

Right To Vote:

In order to vote in the Ottawa election, you must be 18 years of age and a Canadian Citizen and you must have a residence where you vote, or personally (or your spouse) own property where you vote. If you have a residence in one area and personally own property such as a cottage in another area, you are entitled to vote in both locations. In Ottawa, however, you can only vote in the Ward in which you actually live, not multiple wards if you own property in different wards. If you are a student and consider your “home” to be the place where you live when you aren’t attending school, then you are entitled to vote in both locations.

Time Off Work To Vote: You are entitled to 3

hours to vote on election day. If your work shift would mean that you do not have 3 consecutive hours to vote during the hours that the polls are open, then you are entitled to time off work to provide you with 3 hours. For example, if your shift is 10am – 6pm and the voting locations are open 9am to 8pm, you are entitled to time off at either the beginning or end of the day so that you have 3 hours to vote.

Identification To Vote:

When you arrive at the voting place, you must show identification to prove that you are the person whose name appears on the voters’ list. The identification must show your name and address. Your identification does NOT need to have your photo or signature. Many different kinds of identification are acceptable, including drivers licence, health card, mortgage or lease, insurance policy, credit card statement or certain bills. If you are not on the voter’s list, you may apply to be added at the voting location.

Interest groups launch their own election campaigns Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Concerned about how city council candidates feel about tree cutting? What about sharrows that indicate motorists and cyclists should share the lane? Or measures to enforce landlord accountability? Ottawa interest groups know that when it comes to local concerns, the ultra-specific rules the day. A dirge of special interest groups have spent the municipal election period running campaigns of their own – to get candidates to share their views on specific policy ideas. While hosting debates and assessing councillors’ performances through report cards have been mainstays of interest group involvement in past elections, some candidates said the 2014 election has seen a huge increase in the number of surveys and direct policy questions. Tim Tierney, who ran his first campaign in 2010 and was elected councillor for Beacon Hill-Cyrville, estimates he has received around 30 surveys from local and citywide groups – three times the number he was sent in the last election. “Way more, with a capital W,” he said. “It’s been insane, I’ve never seen this many.” Many of the surveys are more detailed than the ones Tierney recalls from the 2010 election, which meant he didn’t have time to respond to all the groups.

But he did try to complete as many surveys that would be publically released as possible, since the questionnaires are an important way to reach out to new voters and express specific commitments. First-time candidate Jevone Nicholas, who is running in Rideau-Rockcliffe, said the number of questionnaires he received caught him off guard. There were too many for him to provide meaningful answers to in the time given, Nicholas said. But long-time Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder disagreed, saying she saw no change in the number or complexity of surveys sent to her during the campaign period. The Greenspace Alliance is one of the groups that always reaches out to candidates in some way. In the past, the alliance has hosted debates or issued scorecards based on councillors’ votes during city council meetings. But the group took a different approach this year, putting out a survey with specific policy propositions, because the number of unanimous council votes made scorecards redundant. The survey was limited to four questions, which seems to have encouraged a solid number of candidates to submit responses. Sixtytwo replied to the alliance’s request, many in favour of things like a strongly worded sitealteration bylaw to promote responsible development and a dedicated environmental lands acquisition fund. “This is the first time we made very specific propositions and recruited endorsers, and

we’re very happy with the support received,” said the alliance’s Erwin Dreessen. Ottawa ACORN, a group that advocates for policies supporting low-income residents on behalf of 15,000 members, got less uptake on its survey, with only around 38 candidates responding. But the exercise was still important, ACORN members said. “It holds them to what they said,” said Gisele Bouvier, an ACORN member from Vanier. “This represents issues to our membership that are essential to them being able to participate in daily life,” said Blaine Cameron, a member from Centretown. “If we don’t press the candidates on these issues, they will never get addressed.” Citizens for Safe Cycling put out its own policy platform in addition to posing survey questions to candidates. The exercise was as much about getting politicians on the record about certain issues as it was about raising awareness about cycling concerns among the electorate, said the group’s spokesman, Michael Powell. “Raising those ideas was useful and we were hoping that candidates would latch onto them and hopefully follow through,” he said. “And we wanted to reinforce that a lot of people bike.” The questions can form a “toolkit” for voters who are interested in cycling issues to use when speaking to candidates about their concerns, Powell said.

West-end dragonboater pens cancer survivor book John Curry

News - They are all breast cancer battlers. They are all also dragon boat paddlers. And now their individual stories are together in the pages of Shelagh Needham’s recently published book “All In The Same Boat.” Shelagh, a Stittsville resident, who is a breast cancer survivor herself and who has been a dragon boat team member for 14 years, decided to write this book featuring the life stories of members of Busting Out, Ottawa’s dragon boat team of breast cancer survivors. She wanted to tell these stories of her dragon boat teammates to make the point that it is not cancer that defines these women; rather, it’s the live that they have all lived, the people that they have met along the way of life and the dreams that they have that are not yet realized. Shelagh is hoping that this book will encourage newly diagnosed breast cancer survivors to realize that there is light at the end of the dark tunnel of breast cancer. This may be in the form of a dragon boat but it could take many other forms as well. She had been thinking about writing such a book for years, feeling that the Busting Out team members sit beside each other in the dragon boat but really are not aware of each other’s life stories. And it is these life stories that tells most about the person. “Cancer is not what defines us,” Shelagh says. For Shelagh herself, she faced a pessimistic breast cancer diagnosis but she survived and paddles twice a

Ofelia Webster of Ottawa is from the Phillipines where she overcame early struggles and eventually moved to Canada. Peggy Cumming of Ottawa has climbed Mount Kilimanjaro, has taken part in Ottawa’s Winterlude triathlon 28 times, has trekked the Himalayas and last year swam five kilometers a day between islands in Croatia. Maureen Colenutt of Richmond is a retail district manager while Sheila Murphy of Richmond consults with church pastors and lay members with Christian Reformed churches from Ottawa to the Maritimes. Janet Corbett is another Richmond resident involved with the Busting Out team. Despite her cancer battles, she is considered one of the most positive members on the team. The book also contains a glossary of breast cancer terms to help the reader understand the terms associated with breast cancer. The book was printed about two months ago but it was only recently that Shelagh held a book launch which was held at the Nepean Sailing Club. A percentage of the sale of each book will go to the Busting Out dragon boat team of breast cancer survivors and also to Breast Cancer Action of Ottawa, the group’s umbrella organization. Copies of the book can be obtained from Shelagh Needham at sneedham@rogers.com.

week at Mooney’s Bay with the Busting Out dragon boat team of breast cancer survivors. She does this even though she admits that she has never done anything particularly sports-related. She notes, though, that for her the dragon boating is not about winning but is more about being together with others. The team stays active in the wintertime with fitness classes and even parties. The book “All In The Same Boat” tells the life stories of 46 of the Busting Out team members. While some team members did not want to be interviewed, many agreed and Shelagh herself interviewed each one, taping the conversation and then writing up the story. She then provided the article to the person for double checking before the story went into the book. She discovered that while some have lived fairly regular, normal lives, some stories are particularly fascinating. She says that each story is totally different, with those interviewed ranging in age from 35 to 83. Carmel Wright of Kanata is the 83 year old member of busting Out. The oldest team member, she has lived all across Canada and also in Germany as her husband was in the military.

No shuttle buses for Lakeside Drive Halloween night Michelle Nash

michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - The Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group will be playing it safe this Halloween.  With a RedBlacks game on the schedule for Oct. 31, the organization has made some minor changes to its shuttle bus routes that evening. To address initial parking and traffic concerns prior to opening up TD Place Stadium in July, OSEG implemented a park-and-ride plan which included having 80 to 90 shuttles, more than 50 buses at the ready, secure bike parking, free OC Transpo rides with proof of ticket and policing services, costing the organization an estimated $800,000. The plan has proved successful, with more than 65 per cent of ticket holders taking OC Transpo, cycling, walking or parking in one of the three designated park and ride locations and jumping on a shuttle. Yet concerns have been raised by Lakeside Drive residents about the number of shuttles using their street,

and as a result, OSEG reduced the number using that route by nearly 70 per cent. The changes for Halloween night will see no shuttles operating on Lakeside Drive. “Safety is a top priority for OSEG and its partners,” said spokesman Barre Campbell in an email. “We will be working with our bus operators to remind drivers to be mindful of pedestrian activity on Halloween night, and every night shuttles are in operation.” Those Lakeside Drive shuttles typically bring ticket holders from a Carleton University parking lot to Lansdowne on game nights. For the Halloween game, the remaining shuttles still using Lakeside will be detoured to Bronson Avenue, Carling Avenue, Preston Street, and Queen Elizabeth Driveway.  All the other buses that provide service from Canada Post and the RA Centre currently take Heron Road File to Prince of Wales Drive to Queen The Ottawa RedBlacks will take on the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Halloween night. To ensure trick-or-treating Elizabeth Driveway. This route will children`s safety, the Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group has rerouted shuttle buses which normally remain the same on Oct. 31. take Lakeside Drive for the evening.

High-octane launch kicks off Lisa MacLeod’s leadership campaign jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - Lisa MacLeod said her biggest strength for the coming race to lead Ontario’s Progressive Conservatives is her ability to connect with people just like her. MacLeod, MPP for Nepean-Carleton, launched her campaign on Oct. 19 at the National Arts Centre. “I have been able to, in the last four elections, in the biggest city in eastern Ontario, to build a coalition to send me to Queen’s Park,” she said. “It’s because I have been able to connect with people just like me – who are either a new Ontarian or a soccer mom, who aren’t traditionally voting Progressive Conservative – but have chosen me as their messenger. I am going to reconnect with them across Ontario.” MacLeod faces some stiff competition from Christine Elliot, the wife of late federal finance minister Jim Flaherty, as well as caucus mates Vic Fedeli, Monte McNaughton and federal Conservative MP Patrick Brown have already announced they’re running for the leadership. From now until the two vo-

tes on May 3 and 7, MacLeod said she plans to visit all 107 ridings in the province. “If I am the leader I will ensure Ontarians believe in us again,” she said. MacLeod kicked off her campaign with a high octane cheering session and a crowd of supporters – including husband Joe Varner and their daughter Victoria. Victoria’s Girl Guide troop was also on hand selling cookies while people registered to become cardcarrying Conservatives. She also had support from York Region and Simcoe County MPPs Julia Munro and Garfield Dunlop, as well as neighbouring MPPs Steve Clark (Leeds-Grenville) and Jim McDonnell (StormontDundas-South Glengarry). She said the path to success is a return to basics. “We need to believe in what we stand for again,” she said. “No more campaign surprises. Those elected by the executive and the members of caucus will have a seat at the table for the campaign. I can’t wait for those debates.” MacLeod said the core values of living within our means while helping those who can’t help themselves is a message that will allow Ontarians to

Lisa MacLeod visits with supporters at the close of her speech during her campaign launch on Oct. 19. believe in the PCs again. “June 12 was the toughest day of my political career,” MacLeod said, referring to the recent election results. “Like everyone here (at the NAC), my heart was broken when our party lost our fourth consecutive election to a tired, worn out and scandal-plagued Liberal government. I believe we need to reconnect with Ontarians by showing them that the values they hold dear are the same values that unite us as Progressive Conservatives.” MacLeod said she came to

Ontario as a university student with a loan and $200 in her pocket. She saw Ontario as the land of opportunity with a minimum wage twice that of her native Nova Scotia. Now she calls it a havenot province, with a debt load higher than all other provinces combined. She said she doesn’t want to see the next generation leave Ontario to find a land of opportunity in Newfoundland, Alberta or Saskatchewan. The first step to changing the course the province is on is to pick the right leader, Ma-

cLeod said. “I will need you to sell memberships, make phone calls and raise money,” she said. “This will be a long campaign, but made easier with your help.” When asked if her ties to Tim Hudak would hurt her in the leadership race, MacLeod said every leadership candidate was a member of the party during Hudak’s tenure. “Success has a million fathers, but failure is an orphan,” MacLeod said. “At the end of the day the biggest thing I can do is reconnect with people that haven’t been connecting with our party. They will look at my story, they’ll look at my energy and the teams I have been able to build.” She added that she wasn’t an adviser during Hudak’s campaign. “During the last campaign I did as I was asked, just like I did under John Tory. I have my own voice. I have my own ideas in the direction of my party.” Local business leaders and municipal election candidates turned out for MacLeod’s

event. Alex Lewis said he believes the province needs an economic driver. “I think Lisa MacLeod is that strong economic driver,” he said. “She’s going to create jobs. She’s going to return employment and prosperity back to this province. She’s the leader we need right now.” Mike Maguire, currently in his own leadership race, vying to be at the head of Ottawa’s council table against incumbent Mayor Jim Watson, said he likes MacLeod’s youth and energy. “I respect her enormous organizational skills,” he said. “This is someone who is really focused. She has all the right tools to take us to victory.” Maguire said the party needs to get back to basics. “We have to speak to Ontarians like they’re adults,” he said. “They’re concerned about their energy costs, their healthcare, transportation and the safety of their communities. We solve these issues; we are going to be in victory.” The results of the leadership vote will be announced on May 9.

Community - Legend has it that Watson’s Mill has been haunted since the death of a young bride more than 150 years ago. Ghostly sightings, unexplained footsteps and hairraising happenings have made the mill a popular destination for paranormal investigators for years, and staff have built on that reputation with a threeday haunting extravaganza just in time for Halloween. The three-day haunted house had 600 people running for the exits in its first year, and now the second-annual event will extend its bony grasp to the mill’s second storey. “Be prepared to be scared,” said education officer Cam Trueman. “We’re going to put a lot more emphasis on action.” Beginning on Oct. 23, guests can work up the courage to wander through the Watson’s Mill maze despite the risk of running afoul of wily witches, demonic dolls and a basement full of zombies. Trueman said the trip

through the haunted house will be scarier and longer than last year’s event – adding he wants the haunting to someday take over the whole village. “We eventually want to build this down the street,” he said. “My goal in 10 years is to have the whole village involved.” Already the teen demographic is heavily involved, with volunteers from area high schools populating the gory grist mill and grabbing at guests as they run past. The mill has partnered with the Manotick Village Community Association’s youth group to make the event possible. The event runs Thursday, Oct. 23 to Saturday, Oct. 25 from 7 to 9:30 p.m. Tickets are $5. It is not recommended for children under 10. PARANORMAL ACTIVITY

For those looking for a more scientific explanation of the realm of the undead, the mill will also offer its annual Halloween ghost hunt in partnership with the Haunted Ottawa Paranormal Society. For the first time in many

moons, Halloween has fallen on a Friday – a most auspicious day for a paranormal investigation at Watson’s Mill. Investigators from the paranormal society will visit the mill between 7 and 11 p.m. on Oct. 31 armed with special equipment to sense activity from the other side. Trueman said the last time Halloween fell on a Friday – in 2008 – the paranormal investigation proved more lucrative than usual. “Let’s just say there was a lot of activity on that particular night,” he said. While the haunted house caters to those looking to get scared out of their wits, Trueman said the investigation is a serious affair. “People will get a chance to work alongside a well-educated group of paranormal investigators who have had years of experience behind them,” Trueman said. “They’ll get to see the equipment and see how it’s used and hopefully along the way pick up something we haven’t seen or heard before.” Tickets are $25 each.

Community gives thanks by treating veterans to dinner Event marks seven years of appreciation Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News - Tobin Kelly has a few family connections to the Canadian military – his brother-in-law serves in the Royal Canadian Navy, and his great uncles served during the Second World War. Though he himself has never donned a military uniform, the urge to show veterans his appreciation runs strong. “That was not a choice I made for my life,” the Hintonburg resident said of joining the Forces. “Just thinking about the sacrifice that means to the individual, and in a lot of cases, their family – I feel like it is an amazing commitment to take on.” For that reason he has been a driving force in the organization of Take a Veteran to Dinner Night, a non-profit initiative that began seven years ago as a way to show appreciation to retired and current Canadian Armed Forces personnel and their spouses. “It’s to show our respects in this way and … with this particular event I think it’s the least we can do,” he said. People are invited to become hosts for the evening and treat veterans and their spouses to enjoy a meal at Tudor Hall in south Ottawa on Oct. 26, beginning at 5 p.m. The dinner is based on a similar event that has been held for the past 10 years in Orillia, Ont., said Kelly, chair of the organizing committee that puts on the special evening in Ottawa. He kept hearing about the dinner, which draws upwards of 400 people, and felt a strong pull to do something similar here. “I just thought, ‘Why doesn’t this happen everywhere in every city across Canada?’” said Kelly, who was living and working in Montebello, Que., when he organized the first Take a Veteran to Dinner Night here. His partner was living in Ottawa at the time and Kelly knew the National Capital Region is home to thousands of retired and current military

personnel. He began to make things happen by calling around to banquet halls. Tudor Hall in south Ottawa has been the venue for the event since its inception. “My girlfriend at the time (now Kelly’s wife) essentially told me, ‘You either have to shut up about this or do something about it.’” So he did. “It just came back to the idea that I thought this was a really simple way to express thanks,” he said, adding the event is held in the lead up to Remembrance Day. “It’s about people who are moved to thank retired and active members in the service in a way that’s a little more personal by inviting them out to dinner.” The appreciation dinner has grown over the years, beginning with about 65 people. About 120 veterans and their hosts – those who bring the veterans and their spouses to the sit-down meal – enjoyed the social evening last year. “There’s no grand plan in my mind to make this thousands of people strong. The intimate nature of the size we have – I think that adds a lot to the feel of the evening.” Many of those who attend, both veterans and their hosts, come back every year. Military spouses are also an

important part of the evening, said Kelly. “We do feel it’s pretty important to recognize the role of spouses in the military family because, as you can imagine, deployments can be pretty challenging times for families.” The event will be emceed by Ottawa CTV News anchor Carol Anne Meehan, and Soldier On representative Sgt. Bjarne Nielsen, who was injured in Afghanistan, will be the guest speaker this year. Nielsen was among a group of soldiers who skied the last

Retired and active Canadian military personnel and their spouses will once again be treated to dinner by those who want to show their appreciation for the sacrifices they made to their country. For the seventh year, Take a Veteran to Dinner Night will take place at Tudor Hall in south Ottawa. 100 kilometres to the North Pole last April. Today, he works with Soldier On, an organization that helps injured military members transition back to work in the forces or into civilian life. The Canadian Military Wives Choir, which is based in Stittsville and formed last fall, have been invited to perform for the first time during the event. They will start off the evening with O Canada and sing a medley later in the evening. Among those who gather annually at Tudor Hall for the meal is a group of women that served in the Air Force during the Second World War. One was a mobile radar operator who was stationed in the Yukon at that time. Some of those who are treated to dinner during Take a Veteran to Dinner Night are in their 90s, and Kelly is always impressed by their life experiences. “That’s the neat thing when we’ve got vets from different generations that are wowing each other with their stories, and it’s really neat to kind of eaves-

drop on,” said Kelly. Those veterans are often appreciative when hosts bring their children, some of whom are as young as 10 years old, to the dinner. “A lot of the older vets just love to know that younger Ca-

nadians are wanting to participate and be part of it too,” he said. The deadline to purchase tickets to Take a Veteran to Dinner Night is the morning of Friday, Oct. 24. The event will

be held at Tudor Hall, located at 3750 North Bowesville Rd. North. For details, visit veteransdinner.ca or visit the organization’s Facebook page at facebook. com/vetdinner.

Crosswords and bingo have kept 100-year-old sharp, independent Brier Dodge

brier.dodge@metroland.com

News - There was a little extra to be thankful this year for the Boyer family, as Hélène Boyer turned 100 years old on Thanksgiving Monday, Oct. 13. Boyer celebrated the birthday a few days early with a large party at her residence, the Belcourt Manor off St. Joseph Boulevard, with over 100 guests. “It’s really exciting,” Boyer said. “I do everything by myself, so I don’t feel 100.” Boyer has lived in the residence for eight years after spending much of her adult life in New Edinburgh. Boyer is largely independent for a resident of the home and often cooks for herself. “She’s full of life,” said Manor receptionist Elaine Levac. “She’s always chic, well dressed - she doesn’t look 100.” Boyer said her father – who raised his four daughters on weekends after their mother died when she was only seven, made sure his daughters were always well dressed.

They lived with their aunt while their father travelled for work. “He was a very proud man, so he made sure we looked just right,” Boyer said. “You’re not going to catch me not matching.” Boyer grew up in Ottawa and married her husband Rodolphe Boyer in 1941 at the Ot-

tawa Basilica. The couple had two daughters, Veronika and Lorraine. The family organized the party at her residence for family, friends and other residents of the home. Her husband passed away suddenly in his 40s, leaving her to enter the workforce until she retired the day before her 65th birthday. That was before workers were allowed to work past, so Boyer “wasn’t a happy camper

to retire,” said daughter Lorraine. She has three grandchildren, Renée, Robert and Philippe, and a 21-year-old great-granddaughter, Gina. Birthday wishes came from near and far, including travel by family members, and framed well wishes from the Queen and Pope Francis. Boyer has stayed sharp by pushing herself to stay independent. “People can’t believe I’m 100 because I’ve got all my faculties,” she said. “I do all my own things.” She was a frequent bowler until her 80s, but now enjoys bingo and crosswords to keep her mind sharp. She’s a “whiz” at the crosswords, said her great-granddaughter. “It’s keeping yourself busy,” Boyer said. “Don’t let yourself go.” Her family isn’t surprised she has lived to 100 and is still going strong. “She’s feisty; she’s a very determined lady,” said Lorraine of her mother’s 100th birthday. “We love her.”

New coaches at West Ottawa Soccer Club Bjorn Osieck

West Ottawa Soccer Club

Sports - The West Ottawa Soccer Club announced last week that it had added two top-calibre coaches to its technical leadership team. Traian Mateas and Kwame Telemaque will strengthen the club’s technical staff team starting this winter season, according to the club. In light of continued club growth from its grassroots

and recreational programming all the way to its Ontario Player Development League (OPDL) stream, adding additional technical capacity had been an important priority to the organization. With Mateas, who will assume the role of club head coach for the mini age groups from U8 to U12 and Telemaque, who will take on the role as club technical coach including the head coaching role for both the club’s U13

OVER

and U14 Girls’ OPDL teams in 2015, the club has been able to add two highly acclaimed experts to its coaching ranks led by former Canadian International Kristina Kiss as technical director. Mateas, who for 15 years had been a driving force behind the ascent of Capital United as one of Ottawa’s most successful clubs at the Ontario Youth Soccer League level, will apply his skills to reinforce the creation of a complete player development pathway covering the critical golden years of learning from U8 to U12 before players transition into the U13+ OPDL age groups. Mateas played at the professional club level in Ti-

misoara in Romania in the 1970s, before embarking on his Canadian football journey in 1982. During the last 30 years, he has been coaching at the club, district, provincial, and collegiate level, as well as running the Soccer by Mateas School of Excellence, while also assisting the Ontario Soccer Association as an instructor. “It is a joy to work with innovative football minds like Kristina Kiss and her team,” said Mateas. Telemaque most recently coached the Ottawa Fury Football Club’s OPDL girls’ U13 team and acted as Ottawa Fury FC girls’ prospects academy director. He earned coaching accolades as both past OSU club

head technical coach and as the St. Anthony’s men’s premier head coach, leading that team to provincial and national championships. Telemaque played at the professional level in the Belgian, Portuguese, and Irish first divisions. “I am elated to join the team at WOSC to assist in the development of our promising talents and am very much looking forward to help all our athletes to take their game to the next level,” said Telemaque. “I have built my soccer brand around focus on excellence and innovative development practices and feel that WOSC embraces the same values in the name of football development.”

Mateas and Telemaque will also pass on their extensive football knowledge in a mentoring capacity to coaches. In that way, they will support club technical director Kristina Kiss, herself an OSA learning facilitator, in pooling and passing on their expertise for the benefit of all involved. “The excellence and leadership quality of our coaches are an absolutely critical success factor for challenging our players to be the best that they can be,” added club president Brian Mason. “In Traian and Kwame, WOSC has found two top caliber experts that will help us to once again raise the bar for the benefit of all our WOSC Warriors.”

Lasers hire defence coach Game play improving, but no wins this week Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

Sports - The Kanata Lasers have added another new face to its coaching roster. Brent Sullivan, a former de! fenceman with the Ontario Hockey League’s Sarnia Sting, joined the Lasers last week, said assistant coach Darcy Findlay, who used to play against Sullivan in the Central Canadian Hockey League. Sullivan has already been making a difference on defence, said Findlay. He said the team has turned a corner now that the coaching

“Even though we lost all three games, they were three of our better games this year,” said Sullivan. “When it comes to understanding the game and, systematically, what we are supposed to do not only with the puck, but more importantly, without it, we are starting to gel,” he said. Though the Lasers managed a goal in the first period of the game against Ottawa, Kanata was out-shot more than double, ending with a score of 3-1. The Lasers finished the game against the Bears without scoring a goal, but was almost able to match Smiths Falls shot count, ending the game 3-0. Kanata showed life in their game against Nepean, scoring one goal per period, finishing up the game 5-3. “We’ve gained a lot of ground in the last week-and-a-half,” said Sullivan.

staff has been solidified. Uncertainty after the team’s former head coach, Adam Dewan, left the team in mid-September plagued the young team early, said Sullivan. That, combined with being the youngest team in the league, made for a tough start, but the team has worked past that now, he said. “There were a lot of bumps in the road,” said Sullivan. “You are going to face that with a young team to begin with, but the adversity that they had to overcome, combined with a couple of weeks of uncertainty didn’t help us.” Now the team is building up steam, though it may not be reflected in wins and losses. The Lasers faced off against the Ottawa Jr. Senators, Smiths Falls Bears and Nepean Raiders in the past week, ending in three losses for Kanata.

ACORN promotes ‘get out and vote’ campaign Michelle Nash

michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - A group of dedicated Ottawa residents have been knocking on doors to ensure everyone eligible gets out to vote on Oct. 27. The efforts were instigated by the Vanier chapter of ACORN, when members spent a few Saturdays in September and October knocking on doors to inform residents of the upcoming election, how to vote and where they will need to go to vote. Vanier ACORN’s chairwoman Ria Rinne said the response was positive, with many residents expressing their desire to have their voices heard. “A lot of people wanted to know more,” Rinne said. During the event, the group promoted ACORN specific events, including a town hall event on Sept. 27 which featured candidates from Rideau-Vanier and Rideau-Rockcliffe, which ended up drawing more than 80 people. Gisele Bouvier also helped organize the event and said the group was pleased with the responses from residents.

“The knocking was about letting them know how to vote and where and if they weren’t registered to help them find out how,” Bouvier said. According to Bouvier and Rinne, the organization believes that the number of accessible voting stations remains low in the city, which they said shows in the low voter turnout seen in places like Vanier. For the door knocking event, the group focused on the northern side of Montreal Road. This decision was made based on an ACORN analysis project completed this past April on neighbourhood polling stations locations. “Really it shows there should be more polling stations,” Bouvier said. As it stands, Rinne said the number of polling stations remains the same as it did in 2010, but ACORN adds they hope the efforts its members are making will make a difference this year. “It’s really important to get out and vote,” Rinne said. “You can make such a change.” Information on how to vote is availMichelle Nash/Metroland able at ottawa.ca/en/city-hall/your- From left, ACORN members Blaine Cameron, Ria Rinne and Gisele Bouvier release the results of a municicity-government/2014-elections. pal election survey on Oct. 15.

Teen driving: Take the responsible road While an RBC Insurance survey1 shows that 9 in 10 parents rate their teens as fairly good drivers, many teenagers still fall prey to common driving misconceptions. “Being a teenage driver isn’t easy. You’re developing a new skill and learning the rules of the road, and because of this, are more likely to fall victim to myths,” explains Natalie Dupuis, Senior Product Manager, Auto, RBC Insurance. “The consequences of making a mistake on the road can have serious ramifications, including the impact to your pocketbook, with teens in an accident seeing substantial increases in premiums upwards of 50%. However, knowing what types of mistakes you’re most likely to commit can help teens make the right driving decisions.” While a number of these activities are already illegal, still many dangerous driving misconceptions persist. To help set the record straight, RBC Insurance debunks the three most common driving misconceptions among teens: Myth: “I can safely text or talk on my phone while driving.” Fact: Cell phones are a significant visual and cognitive distraction for drivers, with average “eyes off the road” times that increase the risk of collision considerably. Drivers engaged in text messaging on a cell phone are 23 times more likely to be involved in a crash or near crash event than non-distracted drivers.2 Myth: “I’ve only had one drink so I’m fine to drive.” Fact: Any amount of alcohol impairs driving and increases the risk of collision. Even one drink can cloud your thinking, dim your vision and slow your reflexes.

Alcohol also affects your attention span, alertness and coordination. A driver with a blood alcohol content of 0.10% is 50 times more likely to be involved in a fatal crash than a driver with no blood alcohol content.3 Myth: “Driving under the influence of cannabis is not as bad as driving under the influence of alcohol.” Fact: Your driving ability can be impaired by pot just as much as it can be impaired by alcohol, as both can impact your ability to concentrate and lower your reaction time. In fact, drivers between 16 and 24 years old are equally split between drinking-driver fatalities (27.6%) and drug-positive driver fatalities (26.9%).4 To learn more, visit www.rbcinsurance.com/ insuranceneeds/safety-tips-for-teenage-drivers.html 2012 RBC Parent and Teen Driving Study.

Seances capture essence of Victorian-era gatherings Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News - As skeptical as Brahm Lewandowski is, he says he still can’t completely reason away strange happenings at the historic Billings Estate Museum, the home once owned by Braddish Billings and his wife Lamira. The museum has been the venue for several seances over the years, and this weekend Merrickville-based psychic Connie Adams will again attempt to channel spirits of people who have died. Seances on Oct. 24 and 25 are already sold out though a few spots were still available for the Oct. 26 event as of press time. Museum staff who have participated in past seances have reportedly felt sensations and temperature changes, and picked up on strong smells in the room. One staff member said she suddenly felt as though blinders had been placed near her eyes, said Lewandowski, the

city’s museum administrator for Billings Estate, Pinhey’s Point Historic Site, the Nepean Museum and Fairfields Heritage House. When she looked to see who had done such a thing, she had trouble turning her head to look. When Lewandowski sat in on one of Adams’ seances about six years ago, he was struck by the strong emotions people experienced. “It can be pretty emotional for people because for a lot of people the medium is successful in channeling spirits they identify with – loved ones, so family members, primarily – who have passed on,” he said. “It’s more real than a lot of people expect it to be.” The events will be equal parts entertainment and history lesson. Participants will learn the history of seances and have the chance to view photos of historic seances that were taken by a medical doctor who was also a medium. A seance is about entertainment, old fashioned en-

tertainment,” said psychic Connie Adams. “Talking to people that have passed over, it’s a whole lot of fun actually and it’s a very unique experience with people. “People come for all kinds of reasons – maybe they’ve encountered a ghost. Maybe they’ve seen an alien. Maybe they’re seeking validation or something where they’ve had dreams about people that have come true. People have their own set of hopes and beliefs.” While there is no evidence that seances were held at the historic house, the upcoming public events will give people a sense of why seances were so popular during the Victorian era, Lewandowski said. “There was a strong sense of remembrance or commemoration of loved ones and so people viewed seances as a way to communicate with people who had passed away. So it was a way of keeping in touch,” he said. See MUSEUM, page 49

Museum staff say inexplicable phenomena occurring on grounds Continued from page 47

That is evident in the popularity of seances as well as the use of death photos during that time. Photos were often taken of people after they had passed away as a way to commemorate their life, Lewandowski said. “For instance, the only photo that we have of Braddish Billings is his death photo,” he said of the original property owner who wouldn’t allow his photo to be taken while he was alive. Museum employees have also experienced strange phenomena at the house when it’s not Halloween. “Footsteps in rooms immediately above them when they know that nobody’s up there,” said Lewandowski. “Like they’ve just gone through the museum and locked everything up, and there’s two people in the place and those two people are in the same together and they hear something in the room above them.” Stories of staff members’ children seeing real people at the museum whom the adults couldn’t see also

stand out in Lewandowski’s mind. There is also a cemetery at the southwest corner of the property where almost 150 people are buried. ‘They couldn’t bury people in the winter so they may have stored bodies in the basement until (they could) actually bury them,” Lewandowski said. “For that reason, there is the possibility of spiritual activity, I guess, depending on your level of skepticism.” He said he hasn’t witnessed paranormal activity at the house, but he admits it can be disconcerting working alone at the old house where people have died. “I have worked here late on many occasions. It is an uneasy house to be in, I guess,” he said. “There are times at night when you feel uncomfortable.” To register for the $30 seance, which takes place Oct. 26 at 7:30 p.m., call Billings Estate at 613-2474830.

Human Rights expert to share thoughts on genocide Jewish Federation of Ottawa launches Holocaust Education Month jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Evil has a tendency to be muscular, unless we fight back. It tends to repeat itself. BERNIE FABER

a social worker with the Ottawa-Carleton Children’s Aid Society as a protection worker, then moved to the Jewish Community Centre before moving to Toronto and taking up the role as CEO of the Canadian Jewish Congress. He said the reason we continually deal with genocide is because of a perception that it’s a problem for “over there.” “Everyone thinks it’s something that happens in Europe or Africa, but we have our own history of genocide,” Faber said of Sir John A MacDonald’s legislation Treaty No. 6, which ultimately starved First Nations tribes in the plains in the west to make way for the railway. Faber said the federation’s Holocaust Education Month

is ambitious and one of the best in the country – despite the relatively small population of Ottawa Jews, roughly 15,000. “Organizers go out to schools and churches and provide Ottawans with an excellent opportunity to get educated,” he said. As part of the month-long campaign, the Mayfair Theatre will show a film called Stolperstein on Nov.16, based on the Stolperstein Project, which was started by German artist Gunther Demnig to commemorate victims of the Holocaust by creating small Stolperstein or small cobblestone-sized brass memorials for a victim of the Holocaust. He embeds them into the concrete in front of homes where individuals, who were targets of the Nazis, were rounded up, taken away and murdered.

News - A leading human rights expert will talk genocide during the launch of the Jewish Federation of Ottawa’s Holocaust Education Month at the Soloway Jewish Community Centre on Nov. 9. Bernie Faber, originally from Ottawa, now works as the vice-president at Gemini Power Corp where he helps First Nations reserves in creating hydro projects and other initiatives to sustain economic development. But he said he started his social work degree because of his parents. Faber’s father was a Holocaust survivor. He grew up in a small Polish village called Bocki. It was in eastern Poland near Pialystok and was home to 750 Jews. “My father was the only one left after the end of the Second World War,” Faber said. “His story is not unique, six million Jews were murdered – two out of three European Jews.” Immediately after the war a movement started called Never Again, Faber said. Part of the movement was a set of criteria set out by United Nations that defined what genocide is, in an attempt to prevent it from happening again. “Never again has become again and again,” Faber said. “Since then we have had the killing fields of Cambodia, the genocide in the former Yugoslavia, Rwanda, Darfur, and the list goes on.” He added his talk entitled

Parkways cannot survive without LRT, says expert Urban planner presents view that conflicts with official vision during first NCC speaker series event Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Despite resolutely rejecting the city’s idea of running light rail along the Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway, the National Capital Commission recently hosted an expert speaker who argues for just such a plan. In the first event of its evening public speakers series on Oct. 16, the NCC invited Robert Fishman , a professor of architecture and urban planning at the University of Michigan, to speak to the legacy of parkways. In highlighting the history of how the linear parks punctuated with roadways evolved, Fishman said when it comes to the situation Ottawa is facing, Fishman said he understands the issue is complicated, but he didn’t mince words when asked for his outsider perspective. “I have the relatively easy task of saying that ultimately, I don’t think a parkway system in the future can work without light rail and light rail access,” he said. The “tough matter,” Fishman said, is deciding where to locate that light rail access. “Light rail, I think, is a whole lot more flexible than people realize,” he said, describing how rail tracks used to be threaded through neighbourhoods, with no more danger to the public than a roadway. Some of

the best old neighbourhoods are former “streetcar suburbs.” That argument picked up on the theme of his talk, which focused on how the flexibility and lack of rigid format for the first parkways developed in the late 1800s could be a lesson for how cities can re-imagine their parkways for the future. For instance, some of the first parkways designed by Frederick Law Olmstead were meant for horse-drawn buggies and featured a side path for pedestrians, which were eventually converted for use by bicycles and cars after they were invented. In the same way, including light rail along parkways isn’t uncommon, Fishman said. He pointed to Roland Park, a suburb of Baltimore, where tracks were placed right through the centre of the neighbourhood. “It ran right through this beautiful parkway that was lined with the most magnificent houses in Baltimore,” he said. “They appreciated that it was running right in front of their front doors. “I think that the way in which light rail can really coexist with a neighbourhood is one of the many things we’ve forgotten,” Fishman said. PARK VS. ROAD DISCREPENCY

Fishman’s talk highlighted the tension between the intent of a parkway as a park that can bring people closer to nature, versus the way many parkways have evolved to become de facto highways. “The association between the parkway and the car, is to my mind, right now, obsolete,” Fishman said. “We need a much more complex way of using the parkway and of accessing the parkway.”

DX C I X CROWDFUNDING IS: BD P XSUPPORTING P A B THE GARTSE K

The original essence of the roadway experience of a parkway was for motorists to meander down its length at a slow speed, stopping to take walks or hikes in the parkland along the way. That changed when faster cars were invented, Fishman said. But returning to that original intent of “the basic social character” of the parkway is what will save the form in the future, he said. “In the future, I think what we call the parkways, the linear parks, will be used by people who don’t get there by car, but who get there by various forms of transit, bikes or by walking,” Fishman said. “That’s one of the main reasons we have to put the roadway and the automobile in its place in the parkway.” That was one of the main takeaways of the NCC’s chief executive, Mark Kristmansson, who did not directly respond to a question about how Fishman’s LRT message directly conflicts with the NCC’s own position on the matter. “Of course, his overall message is ‘Why don’t we slow down?’” Kristmanson said. The NCC executive said he was fascinated by Fishman’s descriptions of how the cross sections of parkways – the widths allotted to different uses, such as parkland, pathways and roadways – could be re-used. That message is “inspirational” as the NCC looks to undertake a study on how to transform the Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway into a linear park. “It’s very timely for use to consider all these things and also somewhat hopeful in that parkways have a history and they also have a future and maybe high speed is not part of that future,” Kristmanson said.

LET US HELP,

INSTANT Artist hits high note UPDATES! with new Celtic CD Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - Tracy Whalen, a local songstress has released a Celtic folk CD. The CD, titled Ancestral Ties: Folksongs of Ireland, Scotland and England, is a mix of humorous ballads and poignant love songs. Whalen, who has been singing since the ’80s, released her first selftitled album in 2007 with accompanist Parvaneh Eshghi. The albums are both available at www.cdbaby.com and Shadowfax, Backbeat Books and The Bookworm in Perth. Aside from recording her work, Whalen said she performs with a local group called Harmelodic, originally formed 40 years ago for women who were interested in the performing arts. “It was kind of taboo for women to want to be on the stage back then,” she said. She said she loves the history of folk music. Whalen’s home is a testament to her ancestry with stained glass windows, medieval goblets and a

life-size suit of armour in her dining room. Her kitchen is filled with inspirational quotes about singing, such as, “Don’t sing in the shower, perform.” The track selection for her latest CD required some research. “Some of the verses of songs I was singing were hundreds of years old,” she said, adding most of the older works were part of the oral tradition and didn’t get put to paper until the creation of the piano. SURPRISES

Whalen said in her research, she found songs like She’s Like the Swallow – traditionally thought to be a Newfoundland folk song – actually came from the United Kingdom. “It’s a trans-Atlantic love song,” Whalen said, adding the research was almost as interesting as the singing itself. Whalen said the second CD, which she recorded in a west-end united church with Penrhos Productions, was easier to compile than the first. “I learned a lot the first time around,” she said. “Since the first I

Museum recognized for summer workshops Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News – A summer camp at the Canada Science and Technology Museum that draws elementary school teachers from across Canada has won an award of excellence. Since 2011, the museum’s Summer Institute for Elementary Teachers has attracted 132 elementary teachers from across the country, from British Columbia and the Yukon to Newfoundland and Labrador, who hope to learn new strategies in teaching science, technology, engineering and mathematics The three-day hands-on workshops, held every July, SUBMITTED earned the Ontario Museum The Canada Science and Technology Museum won an award for its Summer Institute for Association’s award of exElementary Teachers from the Ontario Museum Association. Teachers get interactive cellence in programs, one of hands-on training designed to help them foster a love of science among school children. seven awards announced Oct. 16 at the association’s annual conference in Alliston, Ont. “Think of this as like a summer camp for teachers. They get to do a ton of stuff and help understand the science concept of it, and it’s all replicable in the classroom,” said Sandra Corbeil, director of education for the Canada Science and Technology Museums Corporation, which manages three museums, including the Canada Science and Technology Museum, the Canada Agriculture and Food Museum and the Canada Aviation and Space Museum. Each summer, teachers are taught how to craft science experiments using inexpensive, everyday items, from Popsicle sticks to markers – ideas they can take back to their classrooms. “Yes, of course they need to understand the concepts but it’s always done in a very engaging and hands-on kind of environment,” Corbeil said. “So they walk away

with ideas and things. Their bags are usually so full some teachers have to ship stuff back because they’ve built so much.” One year, teachers crafted working telescopes from Pringles potato chip containers. “We try to give them the sense that making a science experiment or … exploring science doesn’t take fancy equipment,” she said, adding for that reason, the workshops are typically sold out each summer. “Our first year we set our capacity to 25 and we booked full. Each year we add a few spots because of demand,” said Corbeil, adding the museum typically receives about 60 applications a year from teachers hoping to take part. “One of the reasons why our Summer Institute is so successful is because we include the family,” she said. Families of participating teachers are welcome to come to Ottawa and while the educator in their family takes part in the workshop, they can enjoy using free passes to the corporation’s three museums. A family barbecue is also held. Some of the travel costs for participating teachers are offset thanks to Fluor Canada, an energy sector company based in western Canada. “Since attending Summer Institute for Elementary Teachers (at the Canada Science and Technology Museum), I have reached several thousands of students and hundreds of teachers, all of which have benefited from what I learned during the Institute,” Karen Yetman, program specialist for primary and elementary programs with the Newfoundland and Labrador English School District said on the Ontario Mu-

seum Association’s website. During the museum’s professional learning workshops, experts in fields ranging from geological science to astronomy, along with the museum’s team of educators and curators, instruct on topics ranging from algebra to electricity. “It’s intensely pulling from the experts on the museum’s staff, so the educational expertise or the conservation expertise,” Corbeil said. Guest instructors are also brought in each year to add to the bilingual programming. Teachers also get the chance to visit the museum after hours, take in its behind-the-scenes collection and go on a field trip during the summertime adventure. “The unique opportunities provided at the Summer Institute for Elementary Teachers separate it from other professional development opportunities currently offered by the formal education community,” the association said on its website. The Ontario Museum Association’s award of excellence in programs is presented to individuals, institutions, corporations or agencies for programming that engages new audiences or provides exemplary service to existing audiences in a creative way. The dates for the next summer workshop have not been finalized, though not due to the recent closure of the museum, but rather because they want to develop a schedule that would be convenient for applicants, said Corbeil. Mould was discovered in the south wall of the facility in September, and staff were evacuated when air quality tests showed unacceptable levels of airborne mould were present. Officials have said the museum won’t open to the public until at least January.

The narrative of the attraction concerns Ms. Stillwater, 23, who last year disappeared without a trace in Ottawa’s west end. A reported sighting of the missing woman placed her near abandoned houses on Baxter Road, but searchers got more than they bargained for when Stillwater ambushed her would-be rescuers in a house set up for gruesome rituals. This year’s attraction picks up the story, with Stillwater being transferred to a former abandoned asylum for the criminally insane. No doubt, terror lies in wait for anyone hoping to see what happens next. The attraction, which is rated 14plus due to its no-holds-barred fear factor, opened on Oct. 16 and runs until Halloween on select evenings. While Funhaven is made for kids, Fury of the Fallen is now an adolescents-and-adults affair. “We wanted to make it more of an experience,” said Thurlbeck. “It is very scary – above and beyond your traditional haunted house.” A total of 200 staff and volunteers work from September onwards to make the event a screaming success, with everyone from carpenters to makeup artists offering their expertise. More information on times and ticket pricing can be found at furyofthefallen.com.

News - Terrifying frights await visitors to this year’s Fury of the Fallen haunted house experience at Funhaven. Organizers of this year’s event, which raises money for the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario, are hoping to top last year’s attendance and financial figures. In 2013, a total of $55,000 was raised for CHEO from 10,000 attendants. Originating as Chills for CHEO several years ago, the name of the annual haunted house at Funhaven’s Baxter Road location was changed to Fury of the Fallen last year. The charitable recipient hasn’t changed, nor has the venue’s intention, said Joanne Thurlbeck, community fundraising manager at Funhaven. “We took the name (of CHEO) out of the title in order to build on the storyline – it doesn’t detract at all from the intention,” said Thurlbeck. “Last year was the first year we called it Fury of the Fallen and made up the story of Mordella Stillwater, a missing woman. This year we’re building on that.”

Menin Gate Lions arrive at Canadian War Museum Steph Willems

steph.willems@metroland.com

News - One of the centrepieces of an upcoming exhibition at the Canadian War Museum is already drawing visitors to its ethereal presence. Greeting visitors to the exhibition are the Menin Gate Lions, two stone lions dating to the 17th century, which once flanked the gate to the city of Menin, Belgium. Allied soldiers marched between the lions on their way to the First World War battlefields at Ypres, where hundreds of thousands died during a series massive, drawn-out battles throughout the conflict. The battle-scarred statues were recovered at the war’s end. They are currently on loan

from Australia, where they were donated to the Australian War Memorial as a token of friendship. The location of the gate at Menin was turned into a massive memorial arch and hall of memory in 1927, naming and commemorating the 54,896 Commonwealth soldiers who died in the nearby battles and whose bodies were never found or identified. Among those commemorated are 6,983 Canadians. Between the stone lions in the museum’s exhibit hangs the massive Menin Gate at Midnight, a 1927 painting by Australian artist Will Longstaff. It depicts a group of ghostly soldiers marching past the illuminated Menin Gate memorial under darkened, turbulent skies. The painting is on loan

from the collection of the Australian War Memorial. “The Menin Gate Lions and Longstaff’s painting of the Menin Gate Memorial in Belgium represent resilience, remembrance and the enduring bond between nations, like Canada and Australia, that stood together at Flanders,” stated James Whitman, director general of the Canadian War Museum. “We are grateful to the Australian War Memorial and to the people of Australia for so generously sharing their national treasures with Canadians.” The exhibition, Fighting in Flanders – Gas. Mud. Memory., opens on Nov. 7 and runs until April 26, 2015. The exhibit is a partnership between the museum and the Memorial Museum Passchendaele 1917 in Belgium.

Adventure kits to spur love for science, math among Scouts Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News - An out-of-thisworld adventure – and perhaps even a new career path – is waiting for Scouts across Canada who open and peek inside new kits specially designed for them by the Canada Science and Technology Museum. The educational kits, developed in collaboration with Scouts Canada, are meant to spark curiosity in the minds of Scouts, ages eight to 10, in science, technology, engineering and math – topics that are not drawing as much interest among as many Canadian school kids as experts would like. “Science, technology, engineering and math are fundamental to an informed population and for literacy and we’d like to see STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) programming at a young enough age to get kids excited so that they’re open to STEM, whether it’s because they want to have a

career in STEM or because they want to be really good informed citizens,” said Sandra Corbeil, director of education for the Canada Science and Technology Museums Corporation, which manages three national museums, including the Science and Technology Museum. “So much of what’s happening around us, we need to have some basic literacy in these areas,” she said. “A 2012 report from the Canadian Council of Chief Executives found Canada is falling behind in STEM disciplines, with only 37 per cent of pending high school graduates expressing an interest in taking even one post-secondary science course,” Olivier Bouffard, museum spokesman, said in a statement announcing the new interactive kits on Oct. 15. Another statistic shows that almost one-third or 27 per cent of students by the ages of 16 to 18 say they are not interested in science, Bouffard said. “And so we’re trying to

Submitted

The Canada Science and Technology Museum has developed a new educational kit for Scouts Canada, similar to the kits the museum has developed for Canadian schools. Through the new kits, Scouts, ages eight to 10, will have the opportunity to make experiments and learn about science, technology, engineering and math. help increase awareness and appreciation and literacy in STEM,” Corbeil said. By making the kits available to boys and girls, ages eight to 10, in the Scouts Canada program, the mu-

seum hopes to reach and educate an impressionable generation. “It’s the perfect age because that’s when we know kids will decide to be open and curious for science,

technology, engineering and math, or they might disengage and we want to make them stay engaged, Corbeil said. “So if we can show them that it’s fun and that it’s perhaps not what they think and help them feel a little connected to it, I think that they can carry that forward in their studies and perhaps their career.” The science, technology, engineering and math kits – also known as STEM kits – are designed to be fun as well as educational for the Scouts. The boxes will be based in a half-dozen Scouting centres across the country, and units can sign them out to learn about space exploration through a half-dozen interactive learning activities on space exploration, rocket science, astronaut training and life on the International Space Station, among other topics. The kits complement a STEM pilot program initiated by Scouts Canada,

through which participants can enjoy interactive experiences involving chemistry, engineering and robotics. Scouts Canada reached out in the spring to museum officials after learning about the facility’s educational kits for school children, a program that first launched in 2009, said Corbeil. “They were interested in knowing about our kit program and in those conversations they realized that our kits were very well designed and exactly what they were hoping to have in their kits,” she said. “Why reinvent the wheel? We pulled from our existing kits to develop with them as a pilot and we’d certainly like to develop more with them.” “We get great reviews,” Corbeil said of the edu-kits for Canadian schools. “We get returnees all the time. That’s why they’re already booked for the year because people who get them in their classroom once want them back.”

War museum, Dutch embassy launch lecture series Steph Willems

Steph.willems@metroland.com

News - Seventy years ago, bloodied, wet Canadian soldiers were pushing against fierce opposition towards their main objective - the German-occupied Netherlands. In October of 1944, with the Belgian port of Antwerp still under the watch of enemy guns and the failure of a paratroop-led advance a month earlier, it became clear a hard-fought ground campaign was the only way to retake the Netherlands. Troops of the First Canadian Army and 2nd Canadian Army Corps, along with their Allies and armoured divisions, slogged across muddy and intentionally flooded ground throughout the fall, winter, and spring of 1944-45 to liberate Dutch residents from Nazi occupation. For this service, a strong bond formed between Canada and the Netherlands â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one that continues to this day. Representatives from both countries met at the Canadian War Museum on Oct. 16 to mark the 70th anniversary of the start of that campaign, and to launch a lecture series that details the military operations behind

the liberation of the Netherlands. Gov. Gen. David Johnston joined Cees Kole, ambassador of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and a host of Canadian and International historians at the museum to kick off the three-part lecture series, titled â&#x20AC;&#x153;From Memory to Remembranceâ&#x20AC;?. The first lecture, which followed the meeting, will be followed be two others in Calgary and Fredericton. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is only the passage of time and the circumstances of war and peace that separates us â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in our minds and hearts, there is nothing that separates us,â&#x20AC;? said Kole. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are deeply grateful to our brave liberators, many of them who had to pay the ultimate price for our freedom.â&#x20AC;? Kole called attention to the presence of major general retired Richard Rohmer, Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most decorated citizen, who flew a P-51 Mustang fighter during the war. The highspeed reconnaissance runs Rohmer made over the Netherlands provided valuable information that helped ground forces push further into occupied territory. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to be cut off from the past - this is especially true if the past is shared,â&#x20AC;? said Kole. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is why we appreciate our partnership

ferent to the sacrifices of citizens who came before them. Johnston said he was pleased to have the opportunity to learn and honour the Canadians who served in the campaign. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are so indebted to those brave Canadians,â&#x20AC;? said Johnston. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many were killed or wounded, and we owe it to them to know the history of the war, and to work together for peace.â&#x20AC;? Johnston travelled to the Netherlands last year, where he visited Dutch volunteers who were preserving memories and history of the liberation in villages and towns across the country. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To have the sacrifice of Canadian soldiers so faithfully remembered, and honoured, means so much to our veterans and to all of us in Canada,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Canada and the Netherlands are great friends, and we share so much in common. The liberation is an important part of our story â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an example of two peoples working together to defend the values we hold so dear. â&#x20AC;&#x153;May the memory of this difficult time in our history inspire us to cooperate in the building of a more just and peaceful world today, and in the future.â&#x20AC;?

Generally speaking, it is quite a task to get history right. Soldiers face the fog of war, (while) historians often face the fog of dust, time, misinterpretations, partial truths, and some-

times even outright lies, but it is crucial that history be pursued. History stands tall between memory and remembrance.â&#x20AC;? Kole said it was important that a countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s residents not become indif-

Young boy with cancer gets dream shopping spree Brier Dodge

brier.dodge@metroland.com

News – A 10-year-old Ottawa boy with cancer had the shopping spree of a lifetime on Oct. 21 at Toys “R” Us. Liam Elder, who has leukemia and has been in CHEO for the past three months, came straight from the hospital for his 7:30 a.m. three minute dash. It was the first such event in Canada this year and was organized by the Starlight Children’s Foundation Canada - a foundation which provides families and children’s programs and services from hospital to home. The dashes were organized this year after Toys “R” Us donated gift certificate worth several thousand dollars to auction off for Starlight. “Somebody bought it – and after they bought it at the gala, they donated it back to Starlight to a bunch of worthy children,” said Brian Bringolf, Starlight’s executive director. “It’s a pretty cool, different type of thing to give back to a Starlight child. It’s a special, once in a lifetime, unbelievable occasion.” Liam’s father, Peter, did a “recon mission” the day before to check out where the important toys were located in the St. Laurent Shopping Centre Toys “R” Us location. The most important to Liam were the Lego packs. Peter said Liam has been checking out the toys online for a while, picking out his top choices. The entire Glebe-based Elder family attended, including Liam’s brother Ben, who took home a few toys of his own, including a Nerf gun. “It was really nice to see him moving around and doing things,” Peter said. “He’s been in the hospital for almost three months straight, so a day where he can do this and focus on something different is great.” The shopping spree was capped at a $2,000 limit, but Liam took home several carts full of toys – including a healthy portion of Lego. The family’s last challenge of the day was to fit the day’s haul into their car, which was packed with toys and balloons from the event, before heading

November is Adoption Awareness Month

Adoption - A wonderful option

very child deserves to have a family of his or her own. Adoption is one way to bring together children who need families and families who want to parent children. Children in the care of the Children's Aid Society and waiting to be adopted come from a variety of cultural, ethnic and religious backgrounds. Older children waiting to be adopted have experienced challenges in their short lives and need time, patience and help to adjust to a new home. Others may have developmental, physical, or other types of challenges. If adoption is being considered as an option for you, please visit our web site to review profiles of currently waiting children.

Social media company helps find needles in online haystack Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - A new business, aptly dubbed Needls, helps entrepreneurs find sales leads through social media. Like the proverbial needle in a haystack, Needls looks for keywords on Twitter and Facebook to find clients for everything from plumbers to tutors. Jeremy Poriah, a Sir Robert Borden alumni and former Barrhaven resident, started the company with Michael Koral and Justin Hartzman. He said the Needls tool was originally an offshoot of their web business. “Our wives would notice people on Facebook looking for a web designer or an iPhone app developer,” Poriah said. “So we created a very basic code that would search key words and send us an email. We got a very large contract from that.” And the idea grew. The trio decided local businesses and entrepreneurs could benefit from the data mining capability. “Increasingly people go to the web looking for ser-

COMMUNITY

“Increasingly people go to the web looking for services, like ‘my basement flooded – does anyone know a plumber?’ But businesses don’t have time to scour the Internet.” Jeremy Poriah, company co-founder

So, with a little tweaking, Poriah said they were able to create an algorithm that uses key words, geographic location, natural language processes and data mining techniques to bring those who offer services to the people that want them. Poriah said their original prototype only used keyword

searches and returned too many irrelevant matches. Needls had a soft launch in the spring and did work for clients in an effort to get feedback. He said the accuracy of the searches was about 80 per cent – which includes measuring intent to buy. Of the clients that test drove the service, 37 per cent were willing to pay for the service and Poriah said a strong marketing campaign - both online and off – will grow those numbers. “People are increasingly turning to the Internet to get recommendations on plumbers, contractors, tutors, nannies…really everything,” Poriah said, adding Needls hoped to gather 2,500 people for the launch, set to take place in the next month. The trio has also been talking with investors and is thinking about a move to Ottawa, where other social media companies like Shopify have thrived. “We are very excited about the possibilities,” Poriah said.

One in seven Canadians will develop serious eye disease Lifestyle - John Burke says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a perfect example of assuming all was well with his health when, in fact, it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. In the 1970s, Burke was reading and distributing mail as a government worker when he noticed a slight change in his vision. Upon visiting his local doctor of

optometry, Burke, at the age of 44, received a surprise diagnosis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I went into my optometristâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office thinking I just needed a pair of glasses,â&#x20AC;? he says. But a pressure reading, which is part of a regular eye examination, indicated he was already living with glaucoma, an incurable eye con-

dition that, if left untreated, can result in blindness. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were no symptoms, no warning signs. I had glaucoma and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even realize it,â&#x20AC;? he recalled. Unfortunately, Burkeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s story is all too familiar. It is estimated that one in seven Canadians will develop a serious eye disease in their

lifetime â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and many of those diseases have no symptoms, so they can only be detected through a comprehensive eye exam. Following his diagnosis, Burke says he immediately began treatment for his glaucoma through daily drops and later, eye surgery that helped relieve pressure.

Now 86 years old, he credits that initial eye exam and his early diagnosis for slowing the progression of his vision loss. Burke says his message is simple: for Canadians to get an eye exam from their doctor of optometry, even when their vision doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t appear to be compromised.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Your eyes are for life, so donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take your vision health for granted,â&#x20AC;? he said. The Canadian National Institute for the Blind and doctors of optometry recommend everyone get an eye exam from a doctor of optometry. News Canada

News - Images of a man inside a gas station convenience store have been released by the Ottawa police guns and gangs unit as ofﬁcers work to solve a shooting that frightened and shocked residents of a Hunt Club neighbourhood in August. The man is described as a person of interest, and is the third person to have his photos publicly released. Police issued images of two males on Aug. 29 following a shooting on Aug. 17 around 6 a.m. at the Quarry co-operative housing complex at 3275 McCarthy Rd., near Paul Anka Drive. The initial round of photos garnered tips from the public, which allowed police to conﬁrm the identities of the individuals, who investigators say are being co-operative, but who are not suspects. They’re hoping for the same results this time around. “We are looking to speak to that individual,” said acting Staff Sgt. Kenny Bryden,

OTTAWA POLICE SERVICE

The Ottawa police guns and gangs unit is hoping newly released images of a man inside a gas station convenience store will garner tips from the public. Investigators hope to crack the case of an early morning shooting in a co-operative housing neighbourhood on McCarthy Road in August. head of the guns and gangs unit, said of the man at the gas station. “It’s a person that we believe was either at the crime scene or … near the crime scene or maybe spoken to somebody that was and we believe deﬁnitely has some answers to ques-

tions that we have.” And while additional photos of other individuals likely won’t be released, Bryden said. “We certainly do think there might be other people, other persons of interests – that they’ve been in the car, or … in or around the

scene itself or spoken to people that were at the scene. “We’re hoping with the most recent release, that we generate a conversation around that.” While no one was injured during shooting – which investigators are calling a targeted attack – there were a number of near-misses. Nine-millimetre bullets were ﬁred into one unoccupied house, and ripped into an attached home in behind. The

projectiles flew over the heads of Dave Brown and his wife Carol, who were asleep in their upstairs bedroom. Another 9mm unspent bullet was found at the scene. Bullets also tore into another home where a woman was sleeping in an upstairs bedroom with her young child. Police are working on the theory the likely target of the gun violence were the previous tenants of that unit, who had moved out some months prior. Those people have since been identified, but Bryden said they are not planning to speak with them as they are not part of the investigation. While Bryden confirmed street gang members or associates are known to live or hang around in the neighbourhoods around Hunt Club Road, Paul Anka Drive and McCarthy Road, investigators are not ruling out that the shooting was gang-related. “But I can’t sit here and say that it is, but we are confident that it is a targeted situation,” he added. Police also don’t know the motive for the attack. “We have investigative motivations, if you will,” said Bryden. “We have our theories, but I

can’t put pen to paper here.” In addition to the image of the unidentiﬁed male, investigators also released new photos of one of two vehicles of interest in the case – that of a black Chevrolet Cobalt coupe with a spoiler. Police have identiﬁed the registered owners of the Cobalt as well as a Mazda Tribute. “We are hoping it generates more people calling in that recognize the vehicle, may have seen that vehicle, if not at the scene, anywhere in the city, to see how many people we can get associated to that vehicle,” Bryden said. Police say they are making progress in the case. “It’s a little slower than I would like … but we are making headway on this one,” said Bryden. Anyone with information on the case is asked to contact the Ottawa police guns and gangs section by calling 613-236-1222, ext. 5050, or provide anonymous tips to Crime Stoppers by dialing 613-233-8477.

Farm Boy celebrates the tastes of our community at Local Food Fair October 28 By David Johnston metroland media

From its inception as a tiny fresh produce store in Cornwall, Farm Boy has always supported local producers. Now a growing chain of quality food markets, the commitment to local food vendors still fills their shelves. In Ottawa, the relationship with local food suppliers is a tasteful blend of everything from soup to nuts, almost literally. “We feature more than 40 local products in our stores,” says Carolyn Trudel, Farm Boy’s Director of Marketing. “Small producers are unique and know that quality is what will make their product stand out. It’s a great relationship that our customers appreciate.” To celebrate the vast array of local foods, the Farm Boy Train Yards location at 665 Industrial Ave. is hosting a Local Food Fair Tuesday October 28, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The community is welcome to stop by to meet the makers and enjoy some tasty samples. “Our stores are brim-

ming with unique and tasty locally-made products and we’re always on the lookout for more, says Carolyn.” “We encourage local producers to stop by the fair and meet with our buyers.” All products are welcome – produce, grocery, meat, seafood, dairy, deli, cheese, floral and bakery products. Local producers should email the company in advance to book an appointment at fbmail@farmboy.ca It’s the kind of event that can make all the difference for a small business trying to get established. That’s what happened with Amanda Lunan, founder and president of Aunti Loo’s Treats Inc. A dedicated vegan for more than a decade, Amanda created a bakery reminiscent of her childhood, baking with her Nana, when food was delicious and comforting. It was from this desire, armed with her Nana’s recipes that Auntie Loo’s was born.

“Farm Boy took a big chance with a beloved but small scale local brand. Thanks to Farm Boy we were able to expand our business and double our workforce, employing more local people. We are forever grateful for the opportunity,” says Amanda Lunan.

Auntie Loo’s Treats is Ottawa’s first 100% vegan bakery. They don’t use eggs, dairy, or other animalderived product in any of their delicious delights. “Our treats are made using small scale batches, and are always from scratch. We use organic and local products whenever we can, and we believe in desserts that

are fresh, not frozen. We are able to accommodate most allergies. Many of our treats can be made glutenfree!” Kimmi Uriu, creator of Kimicha Tea, has a similar passion about her product. “I want to create a brand that is recognized in Canada,” she says. “I want people to know the difference between a good tea and the kind that is mass produced. I want to help with educating people to make the best cup of tea.” Her dedication has paid off with a recent victory in the Black Tea category of an international taste competition. “I am very proud that my small company could win,” she admits. “Tea is my life. It started from my own travels when people would like the tea I brought home. It gradually grew into a business. I enjoy it a lot and I love the culture behind tea drinking. Travelling to find tea really helps to get to know the culture” “Farm Boy has been a really good match for us from the beginning,” points out Kimmi. “They care about quality and put a big focus on small suppliers. They care where our tea comes from and have helped us a lot. They now carry eight varieties of Kimicha Organic Tea under the Farm Boy label. The reaction has been very positive. People are very excited when we do demos. For Natural Kitchen Wizard Korey Kealey, developing the enerjive™ SKINNY cracker was all about healthy, tasty snacking. Korey’s intolerance to gluten led her to quinoa —

gluten free, high in protein, promoting energy and a healthy metabolism, quinoa was the magic ingredient she needed — but she couldn’t find products with it that also tasted good. “So many people would benefit from this product,” she mused, “but it needs to taste good.” And with that thought as her guide, the snacker/dunker was born! Korey created an array of yummy quinoa SKINNY Cracker flavours to satisfy her every whim throughout the day. Since then, enerjive has landed in quality food retailers like Farm Bay across Canada. “We are a company that believes food should taste good and be good for you!” says Korey. “Enerjive has been working with Farm Boy for over four years. In fact, we will have our three-year on the shelf anniversary on December 8, 2014 but leading up to having the Quinoa Crackers on the shelf, the Farm Boy marketing and buying team coached enerjive until the product was shelf and consumer ready! It has been a fabulous, interactive and very supportive relationship.” “Farm Boy is one of our key accounts and having enerjive widely available across Eastern Ontario and now in Southern Ontario allows us to drive consumers to stores that most everyone can get to and love the experience!” “Farm Boy always offers unique, innovative and specialty products. Educated consumers who want the best for their families at great prices shop at Farm Boy. We are very proud to be one of their main offerings in the gluten free section and now even in Deli

www.enerjive.com sometimes! The crackers are delicious with cheese and dips so being in Deli is a super spot for enerjive too. As a local vendor, this is the type of support we can count on from Farm Boy,” Korey adds. “Every part of the Farm Boy team is welcoming and supportive right from Shipping and Receiving to Home Office and in between...we really learned the grocery industry with our hands held by Farm Boy.” Another local business that is thriving at Farm Boy is H & A All-Natural Nut Bars. Made of entirely natural ingredients with no added chemicals or sugar, the sweetness comes from pure honey and fresh nuts. It’s the kind of flavour that blends well with Farm Boy’s commitment to natural goodness. Hanna’s Bakery, makers of Perfect Pita, is another small, local company with a big future. Owner Charbel Azzi is proud that his product is popular at Farm Boy and across the region.

One special night reserved for pre-Christmas magic

his was to be the night. I was so excited, even my toes tingled. It was a Saturday, but there would be no Saturday night house party that week. No, this night would be extra special, because Mother, Audrey and I would sit at the kitchen table and go through Eatonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s catalogue, page by page, and pick out our winter order. Father seemed to take forever at the supper table. He poured his green tea into his saucer, and sat back in his chair waiting for it to cool off. Why didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t he take it over to the oven door and sip it there? Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d soon be there anyway, leafing through the Ottawa Farm Journal. But no, he sat there like he had all the time in the world. I ushered all the dishes to the other end of the old pine table, Audrey brought over the dish pan full of hot water, and it looked very much like we were going to have to work around him. I let out great sighs, and wiped the red-checked oilcloth within a fraction of his saucer, but that did little to hurry up Father. Finally, he was finished.

MARY COOK Memories Never have supper dishes been washed, dried and put away in the cupboard so fast. We wiped the oilcloth dry with a tea towel, Mother took Eatonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s catalogue off the ice box and sat at the head of the table, Audrey and I on either side of her. At the back of the catalogue was the order form. Mother had already filled in the blanks on where the order was to be sent. We would start at the front, as usual, but we had no interest in the corsets, so Mother quickly moved on to dresses, blouses, and skirts. Even though Audrey looked longingly at the skirts with pleats, she knew better than to ask for one. Any new skirt would come right out of one of Uncle Jackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dress suits that came regularly in the hand-medown box from Regina. So Mother moved on to the underwear.

There were the cursed navy blue fleece-lined bloomers. I got a new pair of them every winter, because there wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t much left to them by the time winter was over. She wrote down the number and size, and moved on to the combination underwear. Audrey had long since grown out of long underwear, but I had a few years to go. And I loved the feel of the soft downy combinations that came with the faintest mauve lines in the material, and I was happy to see that a set had joined the list on the order form. We worked our way through the catalogue, me â&#x20AC;&#x153;oohing and ahhingâ&#x20AC;? over the bolts of material, the shoes, and of course, the galoshes with the fur trim, just like the ones Marguirite wore to the Northcote School. My galoshes were hand-me-downs from Audrey, simple black rubber ones with clamp hooks down the front. They wore the look of many years of hard wear, with patches upon patches Father had put on, much the same way as when he fixed the inner tubes of the Model T Ford. My three brothers were each to

get a new plaid flannelette shirt to wear to school. They had no choice in the pattern or the colour. Mother just wrote down a number, and that was all there was to it. And then there were the pages devoted to Christmas. This, without a doubt, was my very favourite part of the catalogue. There were pages of decorations, packages of tinsel, and Christmas lights for those who had electricity. There would be no entries in the order form from those pages, I knew for a fact. But Mother knew how much I loved that section, and so she let me run my fingers down the pages, and in my mindâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eye, I would pretend the Christmas balls, the fancy wrapping paper, and rolls of ribbons, which for some reason only came in red, green and navy blue, would be added to the list. And then closer to the back of the catalogue were pages of Christmas candy. It came in colourful tins and pails, and I was sure I could smell the peppermint and the caramel right off the pictures. The tins and pails were tilted over, spilling out the candies, and each piece looked like you could pick it

right off the page. Then Mother would ask which pail or tin I thought looked the best, and I would agonize over the pictures, rubbing my finger down the page from the top to the bottom, finally settling on one that had hard candies of every shape and size. And I would see Mother write the number on the order form in front of her. With that, I would be filled with the utmost joy. Real Christmas candy. Could there be anything more wonderful? At the very bottom of the order Mother would print three letters: C.O.D. That meant the order would be either delivered by the mailman, at which time Mother would have to come up with the money, or it would go to Briscoeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s General Store. It would be many years later that I would learn that if the order went to the store, and Mr. Briscoe knew Mother might not have the money to pay for her Eatonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s order, he would simply add it to her bill, and she paid it off, bit by bit, when she could. True Christmas spirit prevailed back then, and it all started around the old pine table and Eatonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s catalogue, and culminated when it arrived at Northcote, either delivered by our mailman, or with a phone call from Mr. Briscoe that the parcel of treasures had arrived.

Place four slices of the bread

on a work surface and top each with one slice of cheese. Place an even layer of apples on the cheese, then top each with a second cheese slice. Cover each with the remaining slices of bread to make four sandwiches.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar and vanilla until smooth. Pour the mixture into a shallow dish large enough to hold one sandwich. In a large nonstick skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Dip the first sandwich into the egg mixture, turning to soak (don’t over soak). Repeat with a second sandwich and add both sandwiches to the skillet and cook until golden brown on both sides – two to three minutes per side. Repeat the process with the other two sandwiches. Cut all the cooked sandwiches in half and serve with maple syrup. Tip: One or two day-old stale bread is ideal for French toast as fresh bread absorbs too much liquid, making it soggy.

Candidates propose rural hydro fixes laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Osgoode candidates are taking up the issue of moving rural Ottawa residents from Hydro One to Ottawa Hydro service. Around 42,000 residents in the city’s outskirts still pay approximately 30 per cent more per kilowatt hour (including fees) for electricity from Hydro One. The issue has been percolating for at least a dozen years. It’s something politicians expected to happen as a result of amalgamation. But the transfer has never happened because the price Hydro One is asking for has been deemed unreasonable. Mark Scharfe says if he’s elected, he’d work to create a new elected position to oversee Hydro Ottawa. The directly elected hydro commissioner, who voters would cast ballots for, would be charged with working to move around 42,000 customers who get service from Hydro One onto Ottawa Hydro service. “If they will not give the customers from Hydro One to Hydro Ottawa, then it will have to be forced politically,” Scharfe said. “This is not unprecedented – we had one in Gloucester before amalgamation.” Scharfe didn’t elaborate on how an elected commissioner would

have more success claiming those customers than Hydro Ottawa’s current board, which includes three elected city council members. “His first responsibility would be to use politically whatever endeavours he has at his disposal to draw those customers in,” Scharfe said of his proposed commissioner. “That will be up to him.” Another Osgoode candidate, Davis Jermacans, had a different idea. In a press release, Jermacans said the change needs to begin with city councillors, specifically the representatives from rural wards affected by the discrepancy. Councillors need to meet with the hydro authorities and draw up a “financially feasible agreement” for the transfer. The immediate cost of labour and infrastructure changes could be paid for with Ottawa Hydro’s annual dividends. The cost of the actual purchase of those customers would have to be paid down over time with new profits generated by the new rural customers. “It is important that the existing dividends get back into the City’s revenue stream as quickly as possible,” Jermacans said in the press release. “It is also reasonable to have the newly acquired infrastructure pay for itself over a number of years. Ultimately, once the infrastructure is paid for, the entire City will benefit from increased dividends from Hydro Ottawa.”

Carleton grad wins Ontario academic and athletic award Brier Dodge

brier.dodge@metroland.com

News - A St. Matthew High School and Carleton University graduate was recently named one of the top eight academic All Canadians for the 2013-14 season. Tyson Hinz, who played for Carleton University’s championship basketball team, was named the Ontario University Athletics conference’s male All Canadian athlete. To be named an All Canadian athlete, students must play for a varsity level team and maintain an academic average of 80 per cent or more for the year. A male and female student-athlete from each of the four divisions in Canada are named. Hinz graduated from the Sprott School of Business at Carleton University at the end of the 2013-14 academic year. “I didn’t have the best of grades in my first and second year,” said Hinz. “But I turned things around with some help from my coaches, so I’m

proud.” Hinz, 23, grew up in Chapel Hill and attended St. Matthew High School, where he was a strong student. He played basketball at Carleton University under coach Dave Smart, who is known for his strict standards on and off the court – as well as his collection of national titles. “He’s going to hold you to a high standard, and Dave had high standards for me,” Hinz said. “It helped when he thought I was struggling in school – he wasn’t pleased.” Hinz, who took four courses a year over each of five years – as is common with members of Carleton’s basketball team – finished his last year of university with a 10.56 out of 12 grade point average and his commerce degree. “Tyson exemplifies the ultimate student-athlete and is the type of player that every coach looks for,” said Carleton coach Dave Smart in a press release about Hinz’s award. “He not only excels at his sport, he is a proven leader

to his teammates, a role model in the community and very focused in the classroom. His standout class was a training and development course, taught by basketball assistant coach Rob Smart. Hinz helped teach a second year business course through the training and development course. Outside of the classroom, he won four national basketball titles, made the All Canadian academic list four times, and was named the Canadian Interuniversity Sport male athlete of the year. “This is definitely a nice change from the usual award.” PROFESSIONAL BASKETBALL

While Hinz has networked and benefitted from a Ravens alumni mentorship program, his current career has him back on the court. He signed a contract with Landstede Zwolle, a professional basketball team in Hol-

land. While his job has him shooting hoops, he’s been able to look at the team through a business lens thanks to his studies. “As much as it’s a team sport, there’s a business side to it, so you have to be professional on and off the court,” Hinz said. “You’re helping the team make money. It’s interesting understanding contracts and marketing strategies of teams.” Hinz said he likely has a few more years of playing at the professional level before evaluating his next career. The All Canadian winners will be presented with their awards on Nov. 17 at Rideau Hall, though it was unlikely that Hinz would be able to attend due to his career overseas. He said his parents, who now live in Cumberland, may accept the award on his behalf. file
