Positive step forward Beaverbrook president pleased with Hydro One proposal

BY JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Ahead of a public meeting with Hydro One to discuss the utility’s plans to maintain its hydro corridors, Neil Thomson said he’s pleased with a proposal put forward by the company.

Hydro One has agreed to a proposal to allow homeowners to trim hedges and trees within the corridor’s safety zone on their properties. It will also schedule consultations with homeowners ahead of any planned work.

“Hydro One tabled a proposal for us which was surprisingly good,” said Thomson, president of the Kanata Beaverbrook Community Association. “They have listened. They have made substantial improvements to the way the process is going to happen.”

A public meeting with Hydro One representatives will take place on Oct. 30 at 7:30 p.m. at the Mlacak Centre.

The meeting comes after the utility clear-cut its corridor in Morgan’s Grant over the summer with little consultation or notice to the community, and then marked trees in Beaverbrook residents’ backyards with no explanation.

Many of the marked trees are more than 50 years old and located within Hydro One’s easement for its power lines. The corridor overlaps the backyards and properties of at least 125 homes in the area, as well as the Kanata Golf and Country Club.

Homeowners expressed concern Hydro One would remove the vegetation on their properties, so the association, with help from residents in the area, worked over the summer to develop a plan to stop that from happening, meeting with top officials from Hydro One three times in three months.

Hydro One chief oper-

ating officer Greg Kiraly wrote a letter to residents in August, committing to work with the community to develop “a fair and flexible maintenance plan that strikes a balance between safety, reliability and the enjoyment of the corridor.”

What has been proposed is a step in the right direction, said Thomson.

“There’s always going to be people who aren’t going to be happy, but in terms of a trade-off in respecting the homeowner, respecting the green space and the safety, it’s looking good,” he said.

PILOT PROJECT

The utility has committed to working with the community to transition how vegetation within its corridor and on private property will be maintained as part of a pilot project.

“People will get the right to maintain it within that safety zone; hydro won’t

touch it,” said Thomson.

“But if it intrudes into the (danger) zone, hydro will take it out.”

Hydro One agreed to schedule meetings with affected homeowners to outline where the safety zone is for each home – where homeowners can conduct their own upkeep – as well as to arrange meetings with people prior to any planned maintenance on their properties.

The utility will update its education tools to include a list of compatible and incompatible vegetation and work with homeowners to identify anything of concern growing within the corridor, said Thomson.

It has also committed to continue trimming trees within the Beaverbrook easement – on a three-year cycle at first with a move to a six-year schedule once the vegetation is under control, he said.

“They gave us more than we thought they were going to give us,” Thomson said.

“They very clearly listened.”

Hydro One won’t be doing all the corrections at once, he added, saying the company will set out a timeline for the transition.

As well, any vegetation deemed a danger, completely incompatible, or dying, dead or rotted, will need to be removed, which is “really in the homeowners’ interest to let them take it down,” Thomson said.

Thomson is encouraging everyone to attend the public meeting, particularly those who live near a hydro corridor or have easements on or close to their properties.

There is planned work on the corridor that runs through Beaverbrook and crosses into south Kanata in 2018. Future work will take place on corridors throughout the city.

“They probably want to show up and learn about this because they’re next,” Thomson said of the potential audience for the meeting. “A lot of communities that don’t have easements on their prop-

City fined after O-Train runs multiple red lights

BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Hope.

1-800-267-WISH www.childrenswish.ca

The city has been fined more than $42,000 after trains on the O-Train Trillium Line ran several red lights, says a memo sent to councillors from transportation manager John Manconi on Oct. 13.

The total amount of the fine was $42,708.06, courtesy of Transport Canada.

The department issued a notice of violation to the city on Sept. 21 after it was notified of an incident in the spring.

On May 3, 2017, a train with an operator on board travelled through a red light signal after another oncoming train had already passed by.

OC Transpo launched an internal investigation into the incident and notified Transport Canada and the Transportation Safety Board.

“The O-Train’s automated train protection system functioned as intended and brought the train to a safe stop. At no time was the safety of passengers or others at risk,” the memo reads.

Transport Canada issued the financial penalty to the city after it was discovered four other similar incidents have happened since 2015, the same year new passing tracks were installed on the O-Train system.

“The Trillium Line has, and con-

tinues to serve our customers with safety always being our top priority,” the memo reads. “While occurrences of this nature are a deviation from the Rail Operating Rules, O-Train operators encounter track signals thousands of times each week. Since March 2015 when the new passing tracks were installed, O-Train operators on the Trillium Line encountered signals approximately 1.3 million times, in accordance with the Rail Operating Rules.”

Stop accepting harassment as normal

W

hen the news first broke of Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein as an alleged predator, sexual abuser and rapist, I was in the car on a long drive, alone. I listened to women relay stories of Weinstein. I listened to a call-in program where women expressed the many ways in which they have been humiliated at the hands of a man in power.

My first instinct was to shrug it off. Seriously, I thought, what’s the big deal? Surely this is old news. Surely things have changed.

I started my career as a producer in television newsrooms in the late ‘90s, cesspools of machoism, intense competition and unusual relationships. In my early twenties at the time, I recall, initially, finding it shocking that men twice my age, married and seemingly intelligent, would flirt, grab and threaten when things weren’t going their way, and when they were.

in a corner of a packed room, my neck between his arms. He was angry that I had, on several occasions, shirked Capital Muse tradition, refusing to alter my production schedule to suit his ego; instead choosing A little squeeze to the thigh to move my crew and me onto in an editing suite here, a senior our next shoot.

Yes. Was I angry? You bet. Did I do anything about I erred, or given an extra-long it? Of course! I adjusted my shoulder squeeze by an apparschedule to suit him. There were ently compassionate, dad-like a few close calls, where I walked figure when I did well, I figured into a situation expecting to be this was normal workplace joining a group of people, but behaviour.

He thrust his full weight against me twenty years. As I listened to all

BRYNNA LESLIE

those women talking on the radio, shrugging my shoulders, it says a lot about how even I have come to accept this as normal.

Some men seem to find it hard to understand how “innocent” comments about a women’s body or gentle touching or subtle threats are problematic. Women are victimized and uncomfortable, altering their behaviour, losing jobs because of some man in a position of authority who’s made her feel small.

When the #MeToo campaign launched, I felt compelled to put a simple hashtag on my Facebook wall. I wasn’t surprised to see many of my fellow women journalists use the hashtag. I was saddened to see how many of my women

friends and acquaintances in diverse fields have been victims of sexual harassment and beyond.

There’s a lot more I want to say about this. I want to figure out how to socialize my own daughter to not be so nice; to teach her that rocking the boat and speaking up is OK; to tell her if she is ever uncomfortable and frightened, she has the right to blow the whistle and that she won’t be shamed for it. But the latter part isn’t even true.

She’s already been shamed and silenced for telling on a couple of kids in the playground who were regularly sandwiching her against a wall. Did the boys get in trouble? No. She was told not to play in that area anymore.

By kindergarten, she’s already received the message that it’s her

fault and it’s safer to keep her mouth shut.

“I hope the ways in which women are degraded, both obvious and subtle, begin to seem like a thing of the past,” wrote Canadian director and actor Sarah Polley in the New York Times last week.

Don’t we all? Sadly, the Weinstein revelations may prove to be another infamous flash in the pan — like Ghomeshi, like Trump, (who still happens to be the leader of the free world).

We need to find new ways to empower women and girls, yes.

But we also need to pay much closer attention to the messages we are passing onto boys about the sexualization of women.

Weinstein is just a drop in the bucket.

It’s not easy being a green bin

I

t’s difficult to process the information that only 51 per cent of people in this city are using the green bin system for organic waste. For most of us it seems smart and convenient.

But it seems that not everybody feels this way.

The obstacles are complicated and the city is trying to figure out how to overcome them. For whatever reason, people need to be persuaded to make changes in how they go about their daily lives.

How to persuade people to change their behaviour? One way is to make it easy for them to do so. A good example is our current blue box and black box recycling system. It’s no trouble at all, so we do it. And we feel good about it. We’re recycling!

Conversely, if something becomes

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town inconvenient, there is an incentive to give it up. When you couldn’t smoke at your desk, that was an incentive to stop. Soon you couldn’t smoke in stores, in theatres, in airplanes. It was an effort to smoke.

A social stigma began to be attached to smokers. People frowned upon guests smoking in their homes.

Smokers were banished from public spaces. Gradually, smoking became more trouble than it was worth.

Another important element was cost. It got more and more expen-

sive to buy cigarettes. Canadians hate spending money.

The social stigma factor has been an important contributor to the decline in drunk driving. Through a process of public education, driving after drinking began to be seen as uncool.

Young people out on the town selected designated drivers. Peer pressure was a big influence.

As we contemplate the arrival of legal marijuana it is interesting to ponder how these elements — cost, stigma, convenience and public education — will play out. From all the confusion visible at all levels of government, it is a safe bet to conclude that nobody knows.

To return to the green bin, there is clear agreement that it is a good plan, but how do we get more people to participate? Stigmatizing those who don’t

use it? Terrible idea, but some have actually suggested it — make garbage bags clear so passersby (and the garbage police?) can see what’s inside them. Let’s forget about that one.

Cost? There’s some promise here.

While the green bin program costs us nothing (other than what we pay in taxes), there are other costs involved, such as the lined paper bags that we use for the inside and outside compost bins. Those cost money. Could they be made cheaper?

Some have suggested allowing plastic bags, which as we know are readily available, to be used as liners.

That would be practical, but does the world really need more plastic bags out there?

Convenience is not an issue for those who live in houses. It appears that work needs to be done to help those who live in condos and apartments. For the green bin system to work, it should be easy. If it isn’t, making it so is a good place to start.

Not here to be ogled To the editor,

I am extremely disappointed to see the publication of the letter in your Oct. 19 issue entitled, “Where is the dress code at high school” that so clearly vilifies young women’s bodies and perpetuates the notion that women are a distraction for men.

Citing morals and sensibilities I must ask – why are we not teaching our youth to stop objectifying and hyper sexualizing women’s bodies?

Using an example of “greasy old men ogling your daughters, some almost having accidents while their heads are cranked backwards to see what’s on the other side of your daughters half naked bodies,” the question begs to be asked, where is the indignation that these old men are ogling young women in the first place?

Moreover, if a male teacher is unable to perform his duties without being distracted by the bodies of (mainly) minors, he has absolutely no business being in that profession.

At a time where so many women are rallying together and sharing their stories of harassment and abuse, where the onus is once again on women to bravely speak out, where is the impetus on men and society at large to change their behaviour and perspective?

Women’s bodies are not simply here for

other people’s pleasure as something to ogle.

I am thoroughly dismayed that you would choose to publish a letter legitimizing the normalization and trivialization of this type of harassment. It is shameful that a community newspaper would choose to print a letter in which the sentiments carry such blatant disregard for the well being of our youth in the community.

These young students, and all residents of Kanata, should be able to feel safe walking the streets without worrying that they will be objectified and harassed, regardless of their clothing.

•••

that “trash is being thrown by students” really screams out that you need to get a job or a hobby.

I cannot believe that you would have the nerve to say that these girls look like they “should be going out to a dance club or a street corner.”

Shame on you. These are the clothes that a lot of girls and women are wearing, just like miniskirts in the ’60s and big hair in the ’80s.

My son is a student at A.Y. Jackson Secondary School. It is a fantastic school, with a lot of really smart kids and a great staff who will definitely grow up to be a lot more open minded than you will ever be.

I can guarantee that the boys attending Jennifer MacIntyre A.Y. are quite capable of getting their work done, regardless of what others are wearing.

These days I think that there are more pressing issues, such as opioid use, and not what kids are wearing to school.

Karen McCrimmon Serving Constituents of Kanata-Carleton

Member of Parliament Kanata-Carleton Celebrating Diwali This week marked the festival of Diwali, a time for friends and families to come together to share a festive meal, light diyas, and exchange sweets. I had the honour of joining the Network of Indian Professionals at their Gala as well as participating in several events in Ottawa to celebrate this festival of lights. Happy Diwali and Bandi Chhor Divas!

Farewell to Jenna Sudds I want to thank Jenna Sudds for her excellent work in the community as the Executive Director of the Kanata BIA for the past 4 years. Her leadership has strengthened our high-tech sector, benefitting everyone in our community. A great woman who has done amazing work for Kanata is leaving some big shoes to fill. Jenna, you will be missed!

Constituency Youth Council I was thrilled to meet with this year’s edition of the Kanata Youth Council for the first time to discuss the issues that matter most to them. On the Council this year are 25 high-school students in grades 9-12 from Kanata-Carleton who care deeply about their community and are eager to learn about the functions of government. I will be meeting with the Youth Council once a month to have informal, face-to-face conversations and get their perspective on pertinent issues. I look forward to our next meeting!

Women, Peace, & Security I had the pleasure of co-hosting an amazing event this week with Senator Marilou McPhedran, MP Elizabeth May, MP Anita Vandenbeld, and many other incredible women.

Informal discussions covered issues of women’s rights in conflict areas, sexual violence in war, and the role of women’s rights organizations in peace missions. I spoke to a score of impressive women on the importance of female leadership both in government and in our daily lives. Women are vital to conversations on the issues of peace and security, bringing forth a range of views and experiences. I was extremely humbled to speak beside such incredible leaders, role models, and friends.

“Coffee with Karen” – 26 October I will be hosting an informal discussion at the Café Luna, 329 March Road, today, Thursday 26 October from 7 – 9 pm. I will be joined by my colleague Omar Alghabra, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Foreign Affairs (Consular Affairs). Please join us for this no-cost event for informal discussion on a broad range of issues, including foreign affairs!

Town Hall in November Our next “Let’s Talk” event will take place on Thursday, 16 November at the Kanata Recreation Centre (Hall A). I look forward to meeting and hearing from constituents on those issues of most importance to the community. Details will be provided shortly.

Working for and Representing Kanata-Carleton It is such an honour and privilege to serve as your Member of Parliament and I look forward to meeting and working with you all.

Continued from page 9

Of course, everyone is entitled to free speech, but this type of one-sided judgment is exactly what is wrong in this Trumpian age we find ourselves in.

Giving voice to this type of ignorance is insulting to all parents and teachers but especially to the young women who attend A.Y. Jackson Secondary School. These young women are developing into independent and strong-minded contributors to society. Degrading and shaming them is the worst thing that we could do.

The only good that I think can come from this dialogue is that it serves as a call to action for us all to speak up against the judgmental haters in our society.

Nothing short of bodyshaming bigotry To the editor,

I am writing to you to express my utter disgust at the choice to legitimize by putting into print the sentiments expressed in the letter, “Where is the dress code in high school.”

This letter is nothing short of body-shaming bigotry disguised as concern for “morality and sensibility.” Have you no standards when it comes to what your local paper will publish?

I read this letter to the editor after picking

up the Kourier-Standard from my mailbox at the end of a work-from-home day. Still fresh in my mind was an experience from my lunch hour walk, where two young men cat-called me from their car. They very nearly ran their car off the road “with (their) heads cranked backwards,” just as the writer of this letter to the editor describes.

I thought about taking the time to tell you about what I was wearing when I was objectified in this manner, however, it simply doesn’t matter. Unlike what this disgusting letter would have readers believe, the real problem here is that some men feel that women are fair game for this kind of objectification in the first place, and that young women are expected to hide their bodies less they be a distraction to male teachers and students.

Rather than body-shaming the female students of A.Y. Jackson, this letter should have shamed the men who “ogle” the young women of A.Y. Jackson going about their day.

This week we have seen courageous women step into the public eye to tell their stories of sexual harassment and assault.

The hashtag #MeToo is trending on social media. This is being done to bring attention to the sheer number of women who have been sexually harassed or assaulted; many of whom are speaking out for the first time about their past abuse.

What extraordinarily shameful timing for something like this letter to be published in the Kanata Kourier-Standard. We should

empower and support the young women in our community, yet your newspaper chose to print a letter that shames them and blames them for the lack of “morality and sensibility” clearly observed by the writer in some of the local men.

I hope that you will see the error of your ways in choosing to publish this letter and retract it with an apology to your readers, but more importantly, to the young women at A.Y. Jackson. How ironic that the letter closes with concerns about trash on Abbeyhill Drive. I would argue that this letter to the editor is as trashy as it gets.

Samantha Soubliere Kanata

We’re not sorry for being who we are To the editor,

Recently a letter penned by a community member appeared in your paper. It made degrading and derogatory statements towards the student body of A. Y. Jackson.

Positive Change for Kanata South

City Councillor Kanata South Week in Review Please remember to check your mailboxes for important notices regarding work being done in your neighbourhood.

Sometimes there is a project to be done on your street or near your home that the city of Ottawa wants to alert you to and a notice is either hand delivered or mailed to your house at least a week (if not more) in advance. These project notices usually include the timing of the work, the scope of the work to be done and the project Manager’s contact information should you have questions.

Unfortunately, what can happen is the notice gets discarded and when the work starts you are wondering what the project is and don’t have any details.

I have missed notices that get mixed in with junk mail and I wanted to share this reminder with you so that we can all watch for those notices and stay informed. Any work notice that relates to projects being done around the ward is also posted on my website at www.CouncillorAllanHubley.ca.

Stonegate Park Stonegate park is currently undergoing some work to add new features to this park. A basketball court is being added along with a new Bamboo climbing garden, games table and new benches. This work began last week and is expected to be completed by the end of November (weather permitting).

During the construction period, the play areas will be closed daily from 7am-6pm and the pathway into the park from Humphrey Way and Parsons Ridge will also be closed. The pathway between Young’s Farm Way and Castlefrank Road will remain open, however the cross through path from the park heading over towards Holy Redeemer school will also be closed. Thank you for your patience while this work is being done. A map showing the pathway closures and park plan can be found on my website.

Library Closure The Hazeldean branch of the Ottawa Public Library will be closed for maintenance from Monday, October 30th to Wednesday, November 8, inclusive. During the closure, the branch will have its Air Handling Unit (AHU) replaced. The book drop will continue to be available for our customers during this time.

If you want to take no risks you must forbid cycling, skating, football, hockey, gym etc.

These sports are a greater risk than cartwheels and snowballs.

I fully subscribe the opinion of Dr. Mark Tremblay from CHEO in the article. I hope the school boards will use their common sense and throw the no-play list in the wastepaper basket.

Underdogs win first tourney It was a moment to savour.

A group of nine-year-old boys, many playing together for the first time, coming together as team to take on the first challenge of the year – the inaugural Capital Blues Hockey Fest.

The tournament hosted eight teams from the OBMHL league and the Minor AA York Simcoe Hockey League. Over the course of five games, the Blazers had the toughest path to championship but were never beaten.

It started early Friday morning against Nepean Raiders Black team. It took the Blazers a couple of periods to get their feet moving in their first game. They trailed the entire game.

However, they never gave up and managed to tie the game at 2-2 half way through the third.

Teams traded chances in the third with neither side being able to put one in.

In Game 2, the Blazers continued the momentum and hit their stride against the Casselman-Embrun Ice Dogs.

Aside from a brief scare in the second period when the Ice Dogs scored two quick goals within 35 seconds to

make the game 3-2, the Blazers dominated much of the play.

They managed to score the final four goals of the game and shutdown the Ice Dogs defensively in a 7-2 victory.

The Blazers then faced a formidable Osgoode-Richmond Romans, who had not yielded a goal in their first two victories.

The game was a defensive battle on both ends remaining scoreless until the 3rd period when the Blazers ended Romans shutout streak.

A Blazers win would put them first in their division and avoid a semi-final matchup against the powerhouse AA TNT Tornadoes. With 2:22 remaining in the game the Romans pulled their goalie and tied the score with just over a minute to play. The game ended in a 1-1 draw.

This meant the boys had a date with the AA TNT Tornados early Sunday morning in the semifinals.

The Blazers needed their best game of the tournament to prevail. The Blazers aggressive penalty kill was rewarded with a shorthanded goal to go up 2-1.

After a 3-1 goal the Tornados took a slashing penalty out of

This great defensive battle would need overtime to crown a champion. Less two minutes into the 4-on-4 OT period when Blazer defenceman Matteo Graziani took a Romans dumpin from his own end, rushed the length of the ice and blasted a wrist shot into the back of the Romans net to seal the 2-1 OT victory.

It was a proud moment for not only the boys, but also the coaches and parents. Not just because they won, but the way in which they did it.

It wasn’t one superstar who scored all the goals or made all the plays. It was 17 boys coming together, believing in what they could do and playing together as a team. Every single boy contributed to the win by doing what they had to for each other.

And, they had a blast doing it, as only nine-year-olds can.

frustration. As time ticked down the Tornados pulled their goalie but it was too little, too late. The Blazers defence was too much. The Blazers shocked the heavily favourite Tornados 3-1.

The Osgoode-Richmond Romans beat the Leitrim Hawks 2-1 in the other semifinal to setup a rematch with Blazers in the final.

Mirroring the first game, the Blazers and Romans ended the first period with no scoring.

After an early second period goal by the Blazers, the game went back and forth with opportunities on both ends.

Neither side could put one past the other team’s goalie.

With 1:30 left in regulation, it was déjà vu for the Blazers. The Romans once again pulled their goalie and managed to score to tie the game at 1-1.

Project Step funding provides vulnerable moms with a listening ear The Ottawa Senators Foundation gives kids an opportunity to play sports, pursue a postsecondary education and have access to mental and physical healthcare services when they need them most.

Fortunately, a program called Project Step (project-step.ca) – funded through the Ottawa Senators Foundation – was able to lend a helping hand.

Project Step (which stands for substance abuse, treatment, education and prevention) is the foundation’s biggest investment to date – with a $1-million investment dedicated to tackling youth addictions over 10 years.

In the midst of a building painted a sensible beige, sits a small but extraordinary office that’s painted cotton-candy pink – within these pink walls, Jenny Strange offers individual counselling sessions to the centre’s clients – many of whom have been exposed to the troubles of substance abuse.

Jack MacLaren Member of Provincial Parliament Carleton-Mississippi Mills

Protecting Freedom of Speech This week and last week I voted against Bill 163, also known as the ‘bubble zone’ legislation. And I want to take time to explain why I was the only MPP in the legislature to vote against this legislation before it passed.

Bill 168 will create a 150 metre ‘no go zone’ around abortion clinics in Ontario which will prevent pro-life activists from standing near the clinics or engaging with people entering them.

This is supposedly to stop harassment of people entering the premise, something that is already illegal.

This bill violates two fundamental rights we as Canadians have under our constitution. Those rights are the freedom of speech, and public assembly. As an elected representative of the people it would be extremely unwise of me to vote for a bill that I fundamentally believe violates our constitutional rights.

When government takes away our fundamental freedoms we lead ourselves down the path towards tyranny. These freedoms have been fought for on battlefields and debated in parliaments for centuries. Canada’s basic constitutional rights date back 800 years to the Magna Carta and have advanced through the centuries to the modern day, all-the-while never abandoning their fundamental foundations.

Kanata Lakes inventor Gordon Lee puts The Leaver into action.

‘Everybody in Canada has a snow shovel’

The weather is turning cooler, the leaves are changing colour, and soon they’ll be littering lawns all over the community, waiting to be raked and bagged.

Kanata Lakes inventor Gordon Lee designed a snow shovel attachment to cut down on the time and effort required to pick up leaves and dump them in yard waste bags.

Called “The Leaver,” Lee created a large blade with a handle that quickly attaches to any model of snow shovel.

“Everybody in Canada has a snow shovel,” he said, adding it was important to him to create a simple-to-use, ergonomically correct device.

Lee demonstrated how his Leaver works, dumping a large pile of leaves in his backyard, collecting them with his invention and emptying them into a bag.

The design, “allows you very quickly to clamp, rotate and release,” he said.

“With the leaves clamped between the blades, it’s very easy to direct the leaves into the bag without a lot of side spillage.”

Lee designed the concept for the Leaver after he was laid off in 2010 from his high-tech job of 26 years.

“In the past, I had used snow shovels to pick up leaves; I used the blade of the snow shovel and clamped the leaves with my hand and I thought, ‘There’s an opportunity to improve upon this,’” said the 59-year-old.

The Leaver is being sold in the Home Hardware in the Kanata Mews mall on March Road and can be purchased online. For Lee, seeing his invention on store shelves and orders coming in online has been a very gratifying experience.

“It’s a really rewarding feeling,” he said. “Even if it doesn’t succeed, I’ll have no regrets.”

Yet, it seemed like such a normal conversation for such a sombre topic. As we shared our wishes, and it came to my own parents, I finally asked them what they wanted. It seemed like for two of the most special people in my life, they did not want us to do very much. It felt odd to me but I did not want to press it.

Investigation comes with hefty price tag

BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

An investigation into the conduct of Barrhaven public school board trustee Donna Blackburn came with a price tag of more than $51,000 she’s learned. “That could have paid for an educational assistant,� Blackburn said of the expenditure.

The latest code of conduct complaint involves an interaction between Blackburn and members of the special education advisory committee. The investigation ultimately resulted in no formal sanctions for the trustee.

Blackburn asked members of the committee why a review of the board’s gifted program wasn’t on the agenda.

The meeting was in December 2016.

She recorded the meeting and there were “dozens� of people in attendance who could have bore witness to what happened, she said. The fact that an investigation continued, despite evidence that she hadn’t committed any infractions, isn’t right, Blackburn said.

The decision to go ahead with complaints under the code of conduct is under the purview of board chair Shirley Seward and vice chair Erica Braunovan.

The complaint that resulted from the meeting was made by trustee Christine Boothby, who represents Kanata.

Boothby also filed a second complaint, after Blackburn spoke publicly about the events of the December meeting. Blackburn opted not to apologize and resolve the complaints informally, she said she sought legal advice from a friend, and knew she would be vindicated. “I said they should investigate formally or drop the complaints,� she said.

The $51,000 price tag is as a result of “legal interpretation and facilitation

supporting the resolution of the complaints,� board spokesperson Sharlene Hunter wrote in an email.

The code of conduct is relatively new, and Hunter said due to its infancy, the board sought legal advice. “The advice and facilitation was very useful to staff and to the participants and will inform future work in school board governance,� she said. “Code of Conduct issues are important, but it is equally important that they are dealt with in a way that does not distract the Board from making decisions on student achievement and well-being.�

In a March 2016 interview with Metroland Media, board chair Shirley Seward said she hoped to never have to use the code of conduct. “It’s meant as something that all trustees can agree with and that in itself, I think, is the real value of it, the fact that it discourages people to do things because the code of conduct is there, the whole board will have eventually a role in approving it, and it’s common language that is understood by all,� she said.

Seward wasn’t immediately available to discuss the cost of the dismissed code of conduct complaint.

Former board chair Cathy Curry said the $51,000 price tag is likely only a fraction of what the real cost. “The incalculable amount, I would estimate, is likely many times that amount,�

Curry wrote in an email. The staff time required to manage all of the related issues to this issue is not included. Nor is the cost of what wasn’t done by staff while they were dealing with all of this.�

Curry said the staff required to handle this issue in its entirety would span many different departments thereby impacting the work in those departments, adding the whole process is very discouraging.

SERVING KANATA NORTH City Councillor, Kanata North City of Ottawa

The Kanata Muslim Association is seeking the city’s approval of a rezoning and site plan application to allow the construction of a gym and a community centre – which could also be used as a place of worship – on Sandhill Road.

Parking main concern about Sandhill Road plans

BY NEVIL HUNT nevil.hunt@metroland.com

The Kanata Muslim Association would like to build a place of worship on Sandhill Road in north Kanata.

The preliminary sketches were on display during a town hall meeting hosted by Coun. Marianne Wilkinson on Oct. 23 at the Mlacak Centre.

Some residents who live in Briarbrook voiced opposition to the plan, which would see a building of about 12 metres in height constructed across Sandhill from South March Public School. The main concerns were street parking and traffic during peak prayer times.

If the plans are approved by the city, the association would develop the site in two phases. The first phase would see renova-

tions on an existing home on the property and expanded parking. Phase two would add a gymnasium and community centre and a final number of 126 parking spaces.

The maximum height of the centre would be just shy of 12 metres.

The association’s planning consultant, Bill Holzman, said the association would need to raise more funds to complete phase 2.

Briarbrook resident Colette Berthiaume said the assocation used nearby St. John’s Anglican Church for Friday prayers in 2012.

“The two local streets were full of parked cars,” she said.

Holzman said visitors may need to park on local streets once the second phase in complete, but said the immediate area is a “general institutional area” and parked cars are expected in such an area. He said that if

the centre is sused for Friday prayers, and there is overwhelming demand, the association is open to staggering the times of religious services to reduce deman at any one time. In any case, Holzman said the prayers times would not conflict with the nearby schools’ end-of-day dismissal times.

Resident Dawn Farrell asked Wilkinson if three-way stop signs could be added at Sandhill and Klondike roads. Wilkinson said the more residents who request stop signs at that location from the city, the more likely they will be installed.

Public comments on the rezoning and site plan requests can be sent to city planner Victoria Bissonnette at Victoria.Bissonnette@ ottawa.ca or 613-580-2424, ext. 27029.

The Why and How of Events “How are you?” If you are in business, a working parent (actually, any kind of parent) or an active community leader then I bet your answer is . . .

BUSY!!! And even if it’s all good, it is still busy. And so you must be discriminating in how you set your priorities and spend your time. Working smarter is currently being touted as the way to be more productive and effective in a fast paced and highly competitive world. But what does “working smarter” really mean? Particularly when our work/life environment changes so radically and quickly. Technology and social media have completely morphed how we interact with others, build relationships and do business. The art of networking was once straight forward and commonly held as the most effective way of doing business. So attending events was a given.

Today, we have so much to choose from in terms of events and marketing it can be overwhelming. Most people in business today could be away from home at a business or community event every day of the week. Most would agree, that is too much. The key is to ensure that the events we choose and the time we spend can produce the outcomes we want. And then we must make the most of each of these opportunities.

One-stop-shop for businesses to learn about energy saving programs and energy efficiency opportunities.

We want to help you find energy saving programs that suit your business needs, to improve energy efficiency and save money.

The West Ottawa Board of Trade mission is to create prosperity.

We do that in two main ways; advocating on behalf of the business community and offering relevant services to businesses so they will grow through connecting, learning, promoting and saving money. A part of our strategy for helping businesses, is to host events throughout the year. Our annual calendar is diverse and includes keynotes from local leaders, workshops with expert trainers, all candidates meetings, casual networking events and a few marquee events. In each event we create, we seek to provide multiple benefits for every size and sector of business. Why? Although we continually innovate to serve our members better we also believe in building on existing strengths. And one of those key advantages is collaboration. In a world where individuals, businesses and communities are becoming more disconnected, we strive to bring leaders and business people together for the purpose of optimizing our resources and creating synergy so that we may all thrive.

How can our businesses make the most of these events and opportunities? Approach relationship building in a strategic way. Plan the events and meetings you and your team will attend and identify what your goals are for each event as well as your long term goals. We are living in a time of constant information, endless options and expectations for instant results. However, many successful business people understand the best results often come from a long term commitment and building a deep network of trust relationships. The many new and exciting opportunities for business and economic development through technology and globalization are highly effective. One way of doing things should not be abandoned for the other. Rather marry new technologies with face to face interactions to achieve the full potential of your business, your team and yourself as a leader. We invite to check out your local Chamber of Commerce to develop your skills, make connections and grow your business. We hope to see you soon!

Cheers to your success, Sueling Sueling Ching | CEO | West Ottawa Board of Trade www.westottawabot.com

The little choir that could WEST OTTAWA LADIES CHORUS

Since 1892

LIGHTING

Design

PLANNERS ON SITE

Twelve ladies gathered in Robert Dueck’s basement one afternoon in late summer 2012.

They wanted to sing, to start a choir and Dueck to be their director.

Thus the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus came to be. In the few short years it has been in existence, the chorus has grown to welcome 45 committed voices.

The chorus is a performance-oriented, community singing group with the goal of providing members and audiences with a musically reward-

ing and enjoyable experience.

Finding an audience was easier than expected and their three performances each year are well attended – they now have a loyal following.

Pleased to give back to the community, the chorus give freely of their time to perform for elder listeners at local residences. Their popularity has reached far shores through Facebook and YouTube.

Dueck is a master at finding the perfect scores with a balance of choral music and a variety of other styles. The chorus is fortunate to have Peter Brown, well known jazz pianist, as their accompanist. Of course this means the choir always sing some jazzy numbers.

This winter’s concert “An Old Fashioned Christmas,” taking place Dec. 1 and 2, will celebrate the season and bring

the spirit of Christmas to the heart of the audience.

This concert will present some of the most beautiful arrangements of traditional and contemporary Christmas ballads sharing cultures and some rhythmic and fun selections.

The variety of music will be sure to please the entire audience.

“An Old Fashioned Christmas” takes place Friday, Dec. 1 at 7 p.m. and Saturday, Dec. 2 at 2 p.m. at St. Paul’s Anglican Church, 20 Young Rd. New this year are tickets online ($20) at www.westottawaladieschorus.ca.

Robert “Bobbie” Basil Mantil

Gone to be with his family and friends, Bobbie passed away shortly after his 90th birthday on Thursday, October 12, 2017.

Survived by his sisters Mary Carroll (late Angus) and Betty Carroll (late Gerald).

Predeceased by his father and mother Robert and Rose (nee Grace), and by brothers Jackie (late Marian), Raymond, Bill (Corky), and his sisters Grace O’Keefe (late Angus), and Margaret. Bobbie will be dearly missed by his nieces and nephews.

A farmer all his life, he tended to his cattle and his beloved dogs. He enjoyed going to the local auction sales and always came home with a box of “trinkets”. Bobbie could be found down in his workshop, working on one of his many projects. Right up until his final days, he still had his sense of humour, which kept the nurses on their toes. The family would like to thank the amazing nurses and staff at the Rosamond Wing of the Almonte General Hospital for their kindness and compassion towards Bobbie.

All Saints golf team swings fifth-place in Ontario

BY JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

In their first-ever appearance at OFSAA, the All Saints High School boys golf team members swung a fifth-place finish at the provincial championships, held Oct. 11 and Oct. 12 in Kingsville, Ont. Sixteen-year-old players Hunter McGee, Christian Meliambro, Dylan Pudrycki and Johnny Howie came back from ninth place in the first round to finish fifth out of 20 teams.

Coach and teacher Melissa Black said she could not be more proud of her team.

“To be part of their journey has just been incredible for me as a coach,” she said, adding she’s been working with some of the players for four years.

“They met their goals; they told me, ‘Miss, we’re going to be top five.’ And they were.”

The team had a near-perfect practice round, said Black, but a two-hour FOR SALE

rain delay combined with gusting winds during the tournament made play difficult.

“We could have played better, but the conditions were hard,” said Johnny, a Grade 11 student who’s been a member of the team for three years.

Overall, though, the Carp resident said they “did pretty well.”

Hunter, the son of golfer Allen McGee, lives in north Kanata and Carp, and has been a member of the All Saints golf team for four years. He won the Ottawa Sun Scramble with his dad in 2015. Playing at OFSAA was a great experience for the team, even if it was a struggle to break the top five, he said.

“We played pretty well to get there,” said the Grade 12 student, adding they were the only team from Ottawa. “Being at such a big tournament with some of the best athletes in the province and competing against them was a lot of fun.”

The team played together nearly every day at the Kanata Lakes Golf and FOR SALE

Country Club, said Grade 12 student Christian, which helped the team build a rapport and cohesive playing style.

Losing graduating students Hunter and Christian will be difficult, said Dylan, but he’s optimistic for next year.

“We’ll have high expectations,” said the two-year veteran of the team.

Black said she’s looking forward to following the boys’ golfing careers if they choose to continue in the future.

“Me, as a coach, I’m not disappointed. They set out a goal and reached the goal. They were determined,” she said.

“They all have a pretty bright future in golf.”

Marguirite expected to be the winner

M

other said it was just because I was excited.

Emerson said I wasn’t called ‘nervous Nellie’ for nothing. Halloween had rolled around, and I was in a state. I wanted to go as a princess, but my chances of coming up with an elaborate costume such as a princess would wear, were pretty slim.

The talk at the Northcote School was that bad Marguirite had a store bought costume, and was having her hair done at Ducharme’s Beauty Parlour. She hinted she even had silver shoes and something with real diamonds in it for her hair. And here I was, destined to wear whatever Mother could throw together from the clothes already being worn to school, or doing chores, or some that long ago should have seen the rag bag.

Audrey refused to wear anything that had come within 20 feet of the cow byre, saying it didn’t matter how much of Mother’s cologne she put on,

MARY COOK Memories you could still smell cow! As happened every Halloween, the school was decorated, parents brought enough lunch to feed all of Renfrew County, and someone was put in charge of a program.

The minister from the United Church was always the judge of the best, or most unusual costume, and fair to a fault, he made sure the winner wasn’t a member of the church. Which Cecil said was grossly unfair. His family were devout Uniteds. Those who couldn’t afford store-bought masks, had their faces smeared with stove black, or the soot from inside the coal oil lamp.

By the time the date rolled around,

of course, the cold weather had set in, which meant underneath whatever we were wearing was a pile of long underwear and a couple of sweaters.

Often before the school party started, neighbour children would stop at farms along the way for a handout of homemade candy, or if they were lucky, a box of cracker jacks, which cost a whole nickle at Briscoe’s General Store.

Mother laid out all the things she thought we five children could choose from to wear as costumes. Mostly, it was old overalls, windbreakers that had seen better days, and an assortment of straw hats that should have been thrown out long ago. Audrey wouldn’t have anything to do with a thing on the bed! Instead she put on a silk dress that had come in the handme-down box from Aunt Lizzie, and of course was much too big for her.

She tied a silk scarf around the waist, and vanished into Mother and Father’s

bedroom where Mother kept what little makeup she wore. Audrey came out looking like she belonged in one of those side-shows from the Renfrew Fair, where children weren’t allowed, and any husband worth his salt ignored. I thought she was gorgeous. It didn’t take long for the boys from the Barr Side road to spot her, and I was amazed at the change in my sister, all because of a silk dress that come in the hand-me-down box from Regina!

There was Marguirite, with her store-bought costume, the silver shoes she raved about, and her hair done up high on her head, but I couldn’t see anything that looked like a diamond anywhere.

There were games, bobbing for apples, musical chairs, and fiddle music, and the school heated up like a night in July all because of the many bodies crammed into the one room.

Finally, the United Church Minister clapped his hands together, quieting everyone down, and said he had chosen a winner. Marguirite got out of her chair, ready to bolt up to the

front of the room for the prize, so sure was she her name would be called. The minister made a long speech, just as if he were preaching a sermon, and then announced that Audrey Haneman was the winner! Everyone clapped, Audrey turned bright red, Marguirite started to cry, and I was so happy I almost wet my pants.

Thank goodness there was no school the next day, because as hard as she scrubbed, Audrey wasn’t able to get rid of all the makeup. I thought she should leave it on for Church.

Mother thought differently. Emerson said the prize Audrey got wasn’t worth the effort she went to. I thought it was wonderful! It was a bag of maple leaf cookies from Briscoe’s General Store!

No doubt donated by Mr. Briscoe himself. We cleaned them out on the way home from the Northcote School.

Annual bylaw review shows parking infractions are up

BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Parking infractions and smoke-free Ottawa violations have increased, says an annual report by bylaw services presented to the city’s community and protective services committee on Oct. 19.

There were 1,438 additional parking infractions in 2016 than the previous year said the report, bringing that year’s total to 32,019.

Violations under the Smoke Free Ottawa bylaw increased by 40 to a total of 402.

As the end of 2017 approaches, bylaw chief Roger Chapman outlined the work his staff has been doing.

Staff review the noise and

property standards bylaw and have been doing spot checks on private transportation companies like Uber following the changes to the city’s vehicle for hire bylaw.

Uber vehicles are prohibited from getting customers through street hailing — the explicit domain of the traditional cab companies.

River Coun. Riley Brockington asked about the level of compliance.

Chapman declined to get into specifics about enforcement — citing concerns about bylaw officers’ safety — but said compliance is high.

“It’s not 100 per cent, but it’s high,” he said.

In addition to keeping an eye on hired vehicles, bylaw has had

to increase their service hours on the weekends to cover noise complaints after police decided they would no longer respond.

FUTURE WORK

Brockington questioned what changes to the federal legislation around marijuana will mean for bylaw.

Chapman said emergency services general manager Anthony Di Monte is working out a plan of action. Right now, a bylaw complaint about a dispensary only drives an investigation into whether or not the business owner has a retail licence.

“It doesn’t matter what the retailer is selling from a bylaw perspective,” he said.

Di Monte said city staff is confident with the province-led, LCBO style model.

Mayor’s Report

MUTUAL RESPECT BRINGS UNPRECEDENTED LABOUR PEACE By: Mayor Jim Watson The City of Ottawa employs over 17,000 people in very different fields of work. From providing front line services in City Service Centres or at the Library, to maintaining our roads and greenspace, to driving thousands of commuters to work each day, to delivering parks and recreation programming to tens of thousands of families and children, to keeping us safe and secure thanks to the dedicated work of our first responders, our employees are the backbone of the city.

The incredible services the city delivers are made possible by our hard working and dedicated employees. In fact, for many city staff, their first job was a summer internship or an entry level job and they remained with the city, moving through the ranks and departments and retiring some decades later after long, meaning and successful careers.

I am proud that the City is enjoying a period of unprecedented labour peace. Although things can never be perfect, many residents remember the bitter 51 day transit strike in 2008-2009 that paralyzed the city.

Today, our labour relations are based on mutual respect.

In March 2012, the City and the Amalgamated Transit Union, Local 279 (ATU 279) agreed to terms for a four-year renewal of their collective agreement. This was the first time in more than 20 years that the City and ATU 279 had concluded a tentative agreement prior to the expiry of their contract.

Take a journey in art KANATA ART CLUB

At this months’ Kanata Art Club meeting, a presentation was made by club member Joan McLean. She presented her approach to abstract, impressionistic, mixed media landscapes.

McLean has taken courses in abstract mixed media and learnt many techniques using various papers, mediums, inks and paint. She uses these techniques to create landscapes with lots of depth and texture. She creates dimensional illusions with colour.

Throughout her presentation she displayed a number of paintings on canvases of different sizes. She works from her own photos, sketches and ideas.

She explained her process of applying the textures and layers of paint to create her landscapes. Her paintings demonstrate a balance between the transparent and the opaque, letting the color shine through.

With the first painting, “Out of the Mist” she successfully captures the sunlight falling on the forest floor.

Monet, her favourite impressionist, is a kindred spirit because for him, as for her, (in this painting), the subject matter is the light.

Lastly, she did a demonstration to

She quoted Tom Lynch, a wellknown American watercolourist, saying “Art is a journey not a destination.”

Let the Kanata Art Club take part in your journey.

The Kanata Art Club is a busy, active association of artists providing informative and interesting meetings and speakers. It provides numerous opportunities for art education, art exhibition, shows and sales. Check out our website at www.kac1.ca.

This understanding was repeated in March 2016, when the two sides again reached agreement on a four-year deal.

More recently, the City has concluded a four-year collective agreement renewal with its largest bargaining agent, the Canadian Union of Public Employees, Local 503 (CUPE 503).

With these, the City has long-term collective agreements in place for more than 80% of its unionized workforce, to at least April 2020.

Ottawa would not be the great city it is today without the significant contributions of city staff and their dedication to public service. But Ottawa is not just a great place to live, it’s also a great place to work.

Throughout the years, the City of Ottawa has been the recipient of numerous Employment, Diversity and Inclusion Awards. For the past 6 years, Ottawa was named in the list of Canada’s Best Diversity Employers and also made the National Capital Region’s Top Employers ranking.

These awards speak for themselves, but they would not have been made possible without the strong partnership the City shares with our employee groups and unions.

With interest arbitration built into many of its collective agreements as the means through which collective bargaining impasses are resolved, the city can ensure that even if two sides are not able to come to agreement on all of the terms for a new collective agreement, residents do not have to endure the loss of the municipal services they depend on, as a result of either a strike or lockout.

It is a privilege to live and work in a city of dedicated residents and city staff, whose passion, dedication and love for Ottawa has truly made it an amazing place to work, live and play.
