Committee shuts down proposal to move dairy barn to Munster Jennifer McIntosh
jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
The city’s built heritage committee stalled the demolition of a Hazeldean Road dairy barn on Dec. 10. The Bradley Craig Barn sits in the mid-
dle of land owned by Richcraft at 590 Hazeldean Rd. Richcraft bought the land in 2006 – but the city designated 1.6 hectares of the farm property, the house and the barn as heritage and protected under provincial legislation in 2010.

The developer plans to build a subdivision in the Fernbank community, south of Hazeldean and west of Terry Fox Drive. The development would have a school site, and 748 residential units – 503 townhouses and 245 single family homes. Richcraft proposed dismantling the barn and moving it 20 kilometres away to Saunders Farm in Munster, where it would be preserved as a prime example of the 19th century dairy barn. Staff recommended to the committee that they not approve the plan, as part of the heritage designation has to do with the land. A number of delegations spoke against the proposal to move the barn, and in favour of keeping the barn in its original location. Resident Glen Glower said the barn is part of the Stittsville landscape, and as owners of the land, Richcraft has to take care of their property. Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri said he supported the move because he worried about the developer properly maintaining the barn. Resident James Evans disagreed. “I know it’s a dairy barn, but I detect a whiff of bovine excrement,” he said. Miguel Tremblay, a planner with Fotenn, which represents Richcraft, said the plan was always to relocate the barn, never to simply demolish it. “The farmhouse has always been a part of the Richcraft vision,” he said, adding the
barn might get isolated within the commercial development and it was best to preserve it, and make it more prominent at an agriculture-themed property like Saunders Farm. In a statement following the committee decision, Mark Saunders said the family cares about heritage in Goulbourn and the City of Ottawa. “Through our actions of restoration and preservation of numerous historic buildings, we have been one of the leading advocates of preserving heritage in this region,” the statement reads. “When my parents settled our family on this farm almost 40 years ago, they quickly went about restoring the falling-down heritage farm buildings. A couple of years ago we were approached by staff at Richcraft Homes about the possibility of Saunders being a home for the ‘big red barn’ on Hazeldean Road. We later understood that the Bradley-Craig barn, as it was known, was a heritage-protected barn. This past June we toured the barn for the first time and were impressed by it’s construction and beauty. We also noted signs that it was deteriorating.” Saunders told the committee that the barn would be used for functions like weddings. The committee voted 4-2 in favour of the staff recommendation to keep the barn on Hazeldean. The planning committee will consider the application on Jan. 26.

McCrimmon, a retired lieutenant-colonel and commanding officer of 429 Transport Squadron in Trenton, Ont. – and the first woman to command a Canadian Forces flying squadron – said she is at home in her new roles, having been appointed parliamentary secretary to the minister of Veterans Affairs and the associate minister of National Defence. Being able to draw on her first-hand experience as both a veteran and member of the military goes a long way, she said, though she has not been given specific marching orders. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau recently delivered and made public ministerial mandate letters, outlining what each ministry will be responsible for overseeing. They can be viewed at pm.gc. ca/eng/ministerial-mandateletters. However, McCrimmon’s specific role when it comes to accomplishing those goals has been evolving more organically, she said. “We have a list of things we need to get done and I said, ‘I can help here, here, here and here,’ and now I’m working with the chief of staff to (determine) priorities. Once we’ve figured out what we can do in the short term, what needs to be done in the long term, what role I can play (can be determined),” she said. Currently, McCrimmon is “pinch hitting” for the associate minister of National Defence, which resulted in her first speech to Parliament.

As for the actual fighting against ISIL, whether that be through aerial bombardments or other means, that can be handled by other members of the 60-member coalition. “It’s not tough to find people to do the first part. It’s really tough to get people to sign on to do the second part.” When thinking about the future of the Canadian military, McCrimmon said she foresees a need to rely on NATO members more as, in her opinion, the Canadian Forces should look to specialize rather than try to be capable of doing everything. “You do need an element of general purpose. You do. Every military needs that,” she said. “But then I think we also need to provide certain capabilities and focus on them, and I think you are going to find more and more of that in NATO.

Supreme Court of Canada, it’s not going to get any less demanding. She foresees a lot of heavy lifting in departments like Veterans Affairs and National Defence where she has recently been given roles as a parliamentary secretary. “But there are people willing to do it,” she said.
“Butterflies. Huge butterflies,” she said of the experience, though she said the content of the speech – Canada’s contribution to the fight against ISIL – was easy to talk about. Asked how she felt about the government’s move to stop aerial bombardments against ISIL and instead contribute to the fight by training local forces and providing humanitarian support, she said, “That’s what I want.” “I think that you can’t just go in and use this kinetic energy, destruction, without a plan, a follow-on plan.

“I think there is so much skill, I mean if you look even in just in my riding, I think that we can focus on information and intelligence. That’s what’s going to win wars in the future.” Next, communication and cyber security would be the focus, allowing Canada to transmit its intelligence reliably. Further, Canada could focus on logistics and engineering, something the country is already known for at the United Nations, said McCrimmon. A re-focus on United Nations peace operations and providing humanitarian support are part of Trudeau’s ministerial mandate letter to the minister of National Defence. “I don’t think we are going to need to scale back in size, but I think we are going to have to say we are not going to be able to do everything,” said McCrimmon. Anticipating a need for a national threat and risk analysis to determine what DND has to defend Canadians against, McCrimmon said she wouldn’t be surprised if climate change was determined as a significant threat.

Some things that can be done in the short-term include re-opening the nine Veterans Affairs offices recently closed and hiring more service delivery staff, said McCrimmon, which has also been mandated.
But a lack of communication to determine if veterans are getting the benefits they deserve has been a big problem, she said. “Those communications lines had shut down,” said McCrimmon. “And now it’s making the effort to re-open those conduits and do that outreach. I think really that’s probably going to be my most important role over the short term is getting those communication channels open and have a two-
way flow.” So far, McCrimmon’s focus has been on Veterans Affairs, where harmonizing the best aspects of the New Veteran’s Charter and the Pension Act is perhaps the goal. “That’s two years of work,” she said, adding it can be done. Though McCrimmon’s evolving role may seem complicated, she boils it down to two priorities: “fix it for the veterans, look after my constituents and then I’ll be happy.”

Taking the sad out of Christmas
long hours
At some point, however, Christmas started to get me down. As an adolescent, I often had to work extended hours at a department store. Customers could be downright nasty as the deadline to find the perfect gift approached. When I moved to university, my family dissipated to what seemed like all corners of the earth – I in Ottawa, others in Europe, some in the other side of Ontario. As a young adult, I spent many Christmases without my family and was, frankly, quite sad. Christmas is a stressful time for many people. It’s a lonely time for many. It’s a depressing time for those who have lost loved ones or who struggle with addictions. It’s not that Christmas has become suddenly too commercialized. Charlie Brown Christmas celebrated 50 years this year; Charlie spends the entire hour-long episode from 1965 lamenting the commercialization and crying. Stress and sorrow are as natural for people at Christmas as relaxation and joy. The few following ideas may help curb the negativity. Find a church service. People are sometimes afraid to attend church at Christmas, fearing they’ll be seen as hypocrites for not attending the rest of the year. Many churches put on special choral or candlelight services in the days leading up to Christmas and explicitly say, “All are welcome.” Invite people to share whatever you have. Invite neighbours, friends, extended family to your home or to an event in your
area. One year, I spontaneously invited a dozen households of neighbours to sing carols and drink hot apple cider at my house on Dec. 23. (We couldn’t afford wine that year). And everyone came, despite our modest offerings. Volunteer. Whether serving Christmas dinners, delivering food baskets, helping new Canadians settle into their homes, or helping children with crafts at pre-school, giving the gift of time will always feel like a gift in return. Donate. It doesn’t have to be money. Some organizations will collect furniture and give it directly to refugee families. A women’s shelter in Ottawa collects travelsized soaps and shampoos, the kind you get from hotels. The Kidney Foundation
Ottawa Valley Tours
will even tow away your scrap car and give you a charitable tax donation for the amount. Be selective about where your used items go to have the greatest impact. Make gifts with friends. For many years in a row, a friend had a regular stitching night, where we’d all drink tea for a couple of hours and bring whatever homemade gifts we were working on. She knitted a sweater for my as-yet unborn daughter, right under my nose. It was a great time of communion. As the animated film, Inside Out,

hen I was a kid, my mom started decorating for Christmas in November. Advent, the countdown to Christmas, always involved church and prayer, crafts and little gifts in a reusable Advent calendar. Santa always filled a stocking. We asked why some kids got bikes and video game systems for Christmas. Mom would say Santa recognized what kids needed and we only needed what fit in a sock. When I doubted Santa’s existence, mom reminded me that Santa had reliably come every year, even the one Christmas when she was out of work. Nothing Santa gave us ever had a price tag on it, nor was it wrapped. My parents both received stockings from Santa, as well. Despite getting a chunk of coal in the toe one year, Santa was my favourite elf until I was 11. Church was a big part of our tradition. As children, my brother and I were often involved in pageants. As we got older, we served in the church, carrying the cross, playing musical instruments, doing prayers or singing in the choir. Christmas Day was full of grandparents and cousins and turkey and festivities that seemed to go on for several days.

Dissent at city hall a good thing
S
omething happened at city hall this week that didn’t please Mayor Jim Watson, but did indicate that the current crop of councillors sitting around the discussion table on Laurier Avenue are more than just a flock of sheep. Yes, there was honest to goodness dissent when it comes to – as Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans describes it – “the mayor’s budget.” There was actual disagreement and five councillors broke ranks by voting against the budget. The fact that five councillors voted nay to the 2016 budget was news in and of itself because dissent at the council table is noteworthy because it is so rare. The councillors who balked at supporting the budget cited a lack of transparency around proposed job cuts, the city’s debt load and efficiencies. Deans said she couldn’t vote for “a budget process that turns a blind eye and a deaf ear to the concerns of the city’s most vulnerable members.” Ouch. Those are fighting words. College Coun. Rick Chiarelli also voted against the budget, saying the proposed cut of 50 jobs
from the city’s workforce was unclear and he couldn’t tell residents it wouldn’t affect services without knowing where the jobs would come from. Watson said of the job cuts that it’s not council’s job to get into the city’s human resources inner workings – there’s a city manager for that. Really? Is it not every councillor’s job to question what staff is doing in the name of the city, whether the mayor likes questions being raised or not? “It’s our collective responsibility to not simply oppose everything but to propose alternatives,” Watson said. How, pray tell, does one put forward an alternative when the original proposal has not been explained? The mayor may not like it when some councillors don’t blindly stumble along the line he has drawn. But for healthy debate and a healthy exchange of ideas at city hall, it is, to take up the mayor’s theme, the collective responsibility of councillors to ask questions and not always fall in line just because the mayor prefers it that way.
Something new afoot in the city
M
any years ago I was working on a story about visitors’ impressions of Ottawa. The one that struck me then and, still does, was from a British Columbia author, Audrey Thomas. She saw Ottawa as a city of bridges. That seemed odd. To me, a city of bridges meant Paris, or maybe London. But then I started to count them — and lost track. We have bridges over the Ottawa River, over the Rideau Canal and the Rideau River. Wikipedia counted them all up, including railway bridges, and came to more than 30. That’s a surprise. But if you are on foot, as visitors tend to be more than residents, you are more aware of bridges. Walk from the Arts Centre to

bridge is just the thing. Recent years have been better for walkers. The Corktown Footbridge has made getting to and from U of O easier and more pleasant for pedestrians and cyclists since it opened in 2006. And now there is a bridge over the Rideau River, linking Donald Street in Overbrook with Somerset Street East in Sandy Hill. The new Adàwe Crossing is quite gorgeous, especially when you’re on it. One thing a pedestrian bridge gives you that other bridges don’t is a chance to stop and look off. Adàwe Crossing widens in a couple of places to allow you to pause and be out of the way of cyclists and other pedestrians.

lapsed in 1953. Interesting. The river curves there. And it’s shallow in spots. There’s a view in each direction that you’ve never seen before. In a car you wouldn’t notice, and probably shouldn’t, if you’re watching the road. Plus they always give bridges high sides now to prevent drivers from looking over. In the winter you’ll be able to look down on the frozen river. In the spring, you’ll be able to see the ice break up. For pedestrians and cyclists and hikers some of the benefits are obvious. Others await discovery. There is now easier access to Strathcona Park, for example. How will it affect how people live? What will it do for folks on the other side now that the network of trails along the river is handy for the folks in Sandy Hill. Beyond that there is the impact of a new linking of neighbourhoods.

Overbrook to Sandy Hill and back. That could affect everything from vehicle traffic to real estate prices. It’s hard to see how anything bad can come of it. So much of the city’s development in the last decades has been about cars. It’s nice when the shoe is on the other footbridge.

Washroom ads makes sense
s a m t s i r h C Cheer SAVE BIG THIS
ensures that the washrooms are fully funded by advertising revenue. Boston’s public washroom advertising and fee-for-use are expected to generate $20 million in revenue for the city over a 20year period. San Francisco has a similar arrangement for its public washrooms. And anyone who has been to Europe knows that advertisements are a staple when it comes to public washrooms. Mayor Watson may wish to reconsider his dismissal of this proposal – he’s discounting a proven revenue stream. By utilizing such policy options the city could perhaps reduce the need for the transit fare hikes that we’re being slapped with year after year, and also halt the continuing loss of ridership. Public washrooms need not break the bank – not with proper planning and execution. Fees and adver-

tising can ensure that installation and maintenance costs are covered. Public washrooms, it has been shown, can be a profitable venture – and they should be considered an integral component of the public environment, helping to make Ottawa a more inclusive and safe space to get around.

Re: Editorial, “Free toilets the right decision,” Dec. 10. Thank you for covering the city hall discussion of installing quality public washrooms, which are long overdue at Ottawa transit stations. It must not be overlooked that there is a notable slice of the population that needs to avoid public transit partially or completely due to the lack of public washroom access – think of those suffering from incontinence, Crohn’s disease, gluten or lactose intolerance, or a prolapsed bladder, among other conditions. Washroom availability can also be highly important for the elderly and for anyone taking small children on the bus. Offering washrooms is about equal and inclusive access to a
public resource. It also increases the customer comfort score, and expands the pool of potential transit users. While I’m pleased that council is moving in the right direction, some clarifications are required. For example, as you reported, Mayor Watson dismissed the city manager’s suggestion that advertising/ sponsorship could fund the washrooms, saying, “I don’t want to be flippant, but I don’t think anyone is going to want to sponsor a toilet.” With all due respect, I believe the mayor was in fact being rather flippant. Evidence has shown that advertising contracts can easily make public washrooms a break-even or even a profitable venture. For example, the City of Toronto has installed public washrooms as part of a major street furniture contract, and the partnership

On Dec. 7, Bridlewood resident and newly hired pizza delivery guy Joshua Barbour decided to try and make a pizza go viral with his new friend and pizza maker at Gabriel Pizza in Bridlewood, Darren Haines. A working video producer, Barbour told Haines about image-sharing site Imgur and suggested that Haines make an upvote pizza – a pizza with a big green arrow at its centre – mimicking the Imgur version of a like button. They would post photos of it on the site and see what happens. But Barbour did more than that. In the hopes of making Haines’ Christmas a little better, he shared some of Haines’ story and sought support for him online with a GoFundMe fundraising page. Haines, who Barbour had been referring to as Pizza Dad, explained that Haines has three kids – a three-and-a-half year old, a two-and-a-half year old and an 11-month old – who he supports almost completely by himself, sometimes with a little help from his parents. Working 50-hour weeks or more, Haines wasn’t even sure when he could get out to a mall without his kids to buy them some Christmas presents this year. “It’s not like this guy’s poor and he is begging for anything. He is a pretty happy

Campaign to continue in hopes of raising funds for England trip Contiued from page 11
But the campaign was getting attention, with a local radio station and several newspapers starting to report on the story. Concerned that Haines would find out about the campaign before Barbour could tell him, he decided to move the reveal up to Dec. 8. THE REVEAL
After getting to work around 4:30 p.m., Haines said Barbour showed up a little later, telling Haines they needed to talk. Barbour wasn’t scheduled to work that day, said Haines, and the evening rush was about to start, so Haines said he was a little too busy to talk. But after convincing him otherwise, the two went behind the restaurant. Barbour asked if Haines had heard anything today, and Haines, confused, said no, he hadn’t. So Barbour let him know how their pizza photo had gone viral on Imgur, with thousands of upvotes. But that wasn’t all, said Bar-
bour. “He shows me this basket of gifts,” said Haines, “and some snow suits and a big wad of cash.” Barbour explained that he had shared a bit of Haines’ story, and how people around the world have responded with gifts and donations galore. As of mid-day on Dec. 9, the GoFundMe account has $4,740 donated from 214 people in one day, while toys, gift cards and hand-made items have been shipped to Barbour to give to Haines from as far away as England, Australia and Japan. “It’s very, very overwhelming,” said Haines. “This good man beside me who I kind of right off the bat knew he was a decent, genuine person, he has done all this for me, and I am so grateful, it’s unbelievable.” “My kids are actually going to have a great Christmas, which was very cloudy … it was going to be very tough.” However, he said the response from the online community “restores faith in humanity. That’s for sure.” After seeing his online efforts go so far, Barbour had a story of
his own to tell. “When I was young, I grew up in a broken home, I didn’t have much. And everybody every Christmas always was super generous. So this is me paying it forward. “If this inspires you, do it for somebody else. If you are in line at the grocery store or Tim Hortons, pay for someone’s groceries or their coffee, and tell them to pay it forward and just step it up this year.” GETTING TO ENGLAND
The campaign will remain open for people to make donations until Christmas Eve, said Barbour, in the hopes of perhaps raising enough money to send Haines and his kids to England to see their family there. “What I’ve got left of my family in England would love to see my kids. They’ve never seen them,” said Haines. Some of the funds raised from the campaign will be going towards things like credit card and car payments, and the day-to-day of keeping Haines and his family going. But there will be plenty of Christmas gifts too.

An upvote pizza, made by Bridlewood resident Darren Haines, aka Pizza Dad, to mimic the green arrow from photo sharing site Imgur, has gone viral online, along with a fundraising campaign for him, put together by his co-worker, Joshua Barbour. Barbour hoped to brighten Pizza Dad’s Christmas, and that of the man’s three children, who he supports on his own.

Winter is coming, said Heritage Minister Melanie Joly at the announcement of the 38th edition of Winterlude’s activities on Dec. 10. Joly, along with Mayor Jim Watson and Gatineau city Coun. Cedric Tessier announced the lineup for this year’s icy festivities. The weather didn’t co-operate though, melting the Bal de Neige ice scultpute used as a photo backdrop on the terrace of the Chateau Laurier. Joly said she will bear in mind all the warnings about a too-warm winter when the thermometer drops below -30C. She went on to challenge Watson to a skating race on the Rideau Canal. Watson said he’s not talented when it comes to winter sports, making reference to a snowmobile accident last winter. “I went skating last winter and looked a little like Bambi on ice,” he said. This year’s theme will be Discover the Great Canadian North, and Discover Canada’s Flora and Fauna. The themes will be followed by ice sculpture artists. The usual list of events, like skating on the canal, ice sculptures and ice chutes in Jacques Cartier Park will be back. As part of the ice sculptures, the National Research Council of Canada will

This year, the public can also enjoy curling lessons, community snow carving competitions and a dance at the Aberdeen Pavilion. At city hall, events will be centred around the outdoor Rink of Dreams, including the Mayor’s Skate Party on the last day of the festival, Feb. 15.
Watson challenged Joly to take part in the Mad Trapper Snowshoe Ultimate Frisbee Tournament. “Let’s see how we do playing Frisbee on snowshoes,” he said. The iconic event kicks off on Jan. 29 and brings in thousands of tourists, said Watson. “Winterlude puts the National Capital Region on the international map,” Watson said.

Construction of west Transitway lanes to start this month Adam Kveton
adam.kveton@metroland.com
Work on the new transit lanes between Bayshore station and Moodie Drive is set to begin this month and some residents just north of the planned Transitway extension aren’t happy about it. The Transitway extension is expected to produce improved bus services for Kanata, Stittsville and other riders west of Moodie Drive. An information session was held on Dec. 10 at the Ron Kolbus Lakeside Centre in Britannia with several dozen residents, mostly from the Crystal Bay area attending. Some residents seemed encouraged by the plans for the Corkstown bus station, commitments to keep the area pedestrian and bicycle friendly with a pathway and paved shoulders, and a sound barrier to be installed along the part of
the Transitway that is closest to a Greenbelt trail. Other residents made it clear they didn’t want the project going ahead at all. Some asked why the Transitway wasn’t being built on the south side of Highway 417 to keep noise further from houses, and others said the money should be spent on improvements to their neighbourhoods rather than on a Transitway extension. Horner Drive resident Teresa Melia and others said they weren’t happy to see a pedestrian bridge – originally planned to span Holly Acres Road just north of the highway – dropped from the plan. Melia said she had concerns for pedestrian safety with the existing groundlevel crossing. The bridge plan was scrapped to leave room for the light rail transit station that will eventually reach Bayshore, said Michel Bisson on behalf of the
engineering group working with the city on the extension. No pedestrian bridge will be built until it’s known how much space the rail station needs. When residents asked if he had ever had to cross the road there, he said yes. In fact, he grew up in the area and has walked and biked across the road without worry. The plan shows support for bicyclists and pedestrians elsewhere, with a connection to the existing trail in the Greenbelt from Holly Acres Road to be built, and further pedestrian and cyclist engagement planned for the upcoming months. Those discussions will likely include possible work on Corkstown Road east of the planned bus station, on the north-east corner of Corkstown Road and Moodie Drive. Culvert work on Stillwater Creek was recently complete on the site, while the contract to build the east-

Michel Bisson, speaking on behalf of an engineering group working with the city on the west Transitway extension, explains to attendees of a Dec. 10 public meeting why a pedestrian bridge can’t be installed at Holly Acres Road. and west-bound lanes of the Transitway was recently awarded to Karson Asphalt Paving. Construction of the lanes is scheduled to take place through 2016, with the lanes operational in late 2017. Landscaping and oth-
er work is expected to continue into the early summer of 2018. In June, the city announced that by reducing the number of grade-separated interchanges to accommodate buses at Corkstown Road, the project
would cost $22 million less and be done quicker. The project is expected to cost about $41 million. Lane and ramp closures will take place at different times on Highway 417, Moodie Drive, Holly Acres Road and Corkstown Road.

Annual alcohol-free New Year’s bash gets funding boost Jennifer McIntosh
jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
College Coun. Chiarelli said luck saved his annual alcohol-free New Year’s Eve party. Chiarelli has hosted the bash at Ben Franklin Place for more than 20 years. It’s an opportunity for residents with young kids to get out and celebrate the holiday. All the events are free, largely thanks to sponsorship from IKEA, but due to a change in local management, the event lost that funding source this year. Luckily, the councillor’s ward office is across the street from Thales Canada. The technology company makes complex security equipment and has 1,800 employees in Canada and 61,000 employees around the world. “They were looking to get involved in
sponsoring some local events and we were there,” Chiarelli said. The annual event always has a theme. One years was pirates, another year was Harry Potter. This year, the theme is Once Upon a Time. The happily ever after this year is that the event can remain free, thanks to the sponsorship. The list of activities will include a bouncy castle, sleigh rides, skating, musical fireworks, a magic show and juggling. “Thales is thrilled to support this popular, community event with Coun. Chiarelli and the Ottawa community,” Siegfried Usal, Thales Canada vice-president wrote in a press release. ‘ “At Thales, we encourage collaboration in everything we do. This event brings our community together to celebrate the New Year. Thales is honoured to support it,” he said.

Speeding no worse in north Kanata: traffic manager ly, like driving by school buses that have their lights flashing, that are the problem, she said. “It only takes one,” said Wilkinson. THE NUMBERS ON SPEEDING
The Kanata Kourier-Standard looked into spot speed surveys with Landry’s assistance to get a sense of how bad speeding really is in the ward. The surveys are posted on Wilkinson’s website.
There are currently 14 surveys available from on three streets from 2013 to 2015. They found that the majority of drivers travel below the speed limit or between five and 10 kilometres per hour faster. However, some drivers were recorded going as fast as 86 km/h in a 50-km/h zone (Second Line Rd.) and 70 km/h in a 40-km/h zone (Morgan’s Grant Way). Those are the drivers that police are asked to deal with,
said Landry, while other city services concern themselves with 85 per cent of drivers who drive at slower speeds. In each report, the 85th percentile speed – the speed at which 85 per cent of drivers
are drive at or below – is indicated, giving traffic services and other departments an idea of at what level the speed limit should be. See ALL ACROSS, page 20

According to city stats, speeding in north Kanata is no more rampant than elsewhere in the city, says Ottawa manager of traffic services Phil Landry. That butts up against the idea, circulated often at public meetings, that Kanata North ward has a particularly bad speeding problem. “I think probably you’ll find that all across the city it’s
a similar kind of a problem,” said ward Coun. Marianne Wilkinson, who has previously sided with residents, saying speeding in the community is especially bad. Though it may not be any worse then elsewhere in the city, Wilkinson said that doesn’t mean nothing need be done. While the majority of people aren’t travelling far above the speed limit, it’s the 15 per cent that are going very fast, and others acting dangerous-

‘All across the city it’s a similar kind of problem,’ says Wilkinson Continued from page 19
On Beaverbrook Road, for instance, the 85th percentile was 49 km/h, with the posted speed limit at 40 km/h. COMFORTABLE SPEED
“Most people drive at (the speed) they feel comfortable at,” said Landry. “It’s not that people are doing it on purpose. You just drive at that (speed). So the way to get people to slow down is to either make them uncomfortable driving at above the posted speed limit, or induce them to check their speed so they realize they are driving faster than they should.” That is done by narrowing streets, allowing parking on the street, adding speed bumps and other measures, which can be undertaken by the city’s planning and growth management department, said Landry. However, streets like Bea-
verbrook Road don’t qualify for those additions, despite speeds being above the limit, he said. “They will only review streets that have an operating speed (as opposed to the posted speed) of 50 kilometres or higher,” said Landry. “Beaverbrook shows (the operating speed) as being 49 km/h. It wouldn’t meet the criteria.” Some streets, like Knudson Drive do, with areas of the street showing operating speeds of 63 km/h. The contract for placing speed cushions along the street (a more gradual, larger kind of speed bump) has just gone out, said Wilkinson, with funds allocated to have them installed next year. Speeds along Second Line Road are high as well, with the 85th percentile at 65 km/h, which is 15 km/h above the speed limit. Those speeds don’t surprise Landry, he said, considering the majority of the road is
rural, the residential portion doesn’t have houses facing the street and the sidewalk has a separation between it and the street. He said the city would consider putting up a speed board – a real-time display showing the speed of oncoming cars –to remind drivers how fast they are travelling. Asked whether north Kanata has a particular problem with speeding, Landry said, “The data shows cars going 60 or 70 km/h … and those are the drivers that we need police to focus on, (but) we have these same issues throughout the city, out in Orleans, in Ottawa South. “It’s not focused in one area worse than another … If you were going to go talk to residents in different parts of the city, you would probably get the same comments from those folks that you are probably hearing in Kanata North as well.”

TRAFFIC CALMING
While city staff may concern themselves with the 85th percentile, that’s not good enough for community members, said Wilkinson. “The problems are not so much in the 85th percentile,” she said. “It’s the few that are going really fast. And we get people going 80 to 100 km/h on residential streets … They are in that 15 per cent, but it only takes one.” Recently, councillors have been provided with $40,000 to undertake some traffic calming endeavours in their own wards. That can be put towards speed boards, flexible posts in the centre of the road and road painting that notifies drivers of the speed limit, all of which have been shown to reduce speeds, said Landry. Wilkinson said she as done some traffic calming this year, and she will be working on a more comprehensive plan for next year, with residents given the opportunity to submit comments on where and what

There are speeding problems in north Kanata, but they are no worse than in the rest of the city, said Ottawa’s manager of traffic services, Phil Landry. However, residents still want something done to slow people down, said Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson, and councillors are now able to act on their own to do something about it. kind of measures should be considered. Asked whether north Kanata has a particular problem with speeding, Wilkinson said, “I think probably you’ll find that all across the city it’s a similar kind of problem.”
But she maintained her ward has a bigger problem “than some parts of the city.” To check out the north Kanata speeding statistics, go to mariannewilkinson.com/ community/speed-board-reports/.

2016 Budget Last week City Council approved the second budget of its term, which limits the property tax increase to 2 per cent, protects front-line services and invests in community priorities. I would like to thank all residents who contacted me with their thoughts on the budget. For more information about the budget, visit ottawa.ca/budget2016.
The city is looking at selfcleaning, gender neutral washrooms for the future Bayview and Hurdman light rail stations. The staff report heard by
council on Dec. 9 said the new options for washrooms at the stations would cut the $13,000 per month proposed maintenance cost by up to half. “The cost would be 50 to 75 per cent of the maintenance cost proposed,” city manager Kent Kirkpatrick said.
The LRT construction timelines are tight, so the mayor, Kirkpatrick and transportation chairman Stephen Blais are to pick the model of toilet. If a choice isn’t made by Dec. 16, the city will be on the hook for an extra $250,000. The item will go back to
Expropriations Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. E.26.

council for consideration if staff decides on a pay-per-use model for the washrooms, set to be installed during the construction of the stations. Knoxdale-Merivale Coun. Keith Egli said he wouldn’t support a pay-per-use model. Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury said he was happy to hear there would be a reduction in the $13,000 per month maintenance fee. “That seemed rather high to me,” he said. River Coun. Riley Brockington said the public should get a say on whether or not they support a pay-per-use model. At the city’s finance and economic development committee on Nov. 30, Mayor Jim Watson said the city should look to recover some of the maintenance and construction costs with a pay-to-go model. College Coun. Rick Chiarelli made a couple of jokes about the plans. “I look forward to the opening,” he said. “The first photo flush should be something.” Chiarelli also commented on the mayor’s involvement with the selection of the toilet, noting Watson said it wasn’t the council’s job to get involved in the city’s human resources inner workings – referencing the planned cuts to the city’s workforce. “Look, the mayor is choosing a toilet,” Chiarelli said.
many more initiatives in the weeks and months ahead, as we gear up for this once-in-a-lifetime, yearlong celebration of Canada’s 150th birthday, right here in the capital. To stay informed on the latest plans, visit ottawa2017.ca.

Notice of Project Completion Municipal Class EA Phase II Report and Conceptual Rehabilitation Solutions for Ottawa River Outfalls The subject of this Environmental Assessment (EA) study relates specifically to the physical condition of 29 storm outfalls into the Ottawa River identified by the City of Ottawa as being in need of repair or rehabilitation. The overall project followed an integrated planning approach. The study was carried out as a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Master Plan and followed Approach #2 from the MEA Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (October 2000, as amended in 2007). This approach involves the preparation of a Master Plan report at the conclusion of Phases 1 and 2 of the Municipal Class EA process where the level of investigation, consultation and documentation are sufficient to fulfill the requirements of Schedule B projects. Any Schedule A and A+ projects identified in the Master Plan may proceed in accordance with the implementation requirements defined by the Municipal Class EA. This report documents the results of an environmental assessment completed in the context of the MEA Class Environmental Assessment (Schedule B) under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act (OEAA) and the screening process under the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act (CEAA). While the outfalls themselves are owned by the City of Ottawa, the requirement to undertake the screening process relates to the fact that most of the outfalls are located on lands owned by the National Capital Commission (NCC). Seven outfalls were assessed to be Schedule B which required more detail including the completion of more detailed site inspections, additional stakeholder consultation, selection of the preferred alternative, and a second public meeting to present the preferred alternatives and the methodology used in the decision making process. These outfalls are as follows: Seven Outfalls Identified as Class EA Schedule ‘B’ Undertakings Ref #

SERVING KANATA NORTH
City Councillor, Kanata North CITY BUDGET 2016 was passed last week. A number of Councillors wanted to add additional costs that would have increased property taxes across the City. I was not in favour of an increase, but did raise an issue that I had previously discussed with the Mayor and City Manager. It has to do with evaluating the organizational structure of the City to reduce levels of management and increase responsibility at the operational level, thus creating efficiencies and lower costs. To start the work that needs to be done, my direction to staff was approved to look at the 35 staff reductions in the budget, analyze their impact on service levels and show the long-term reduction in taxes. Council needs this kind of information to ensure basic City service levels are maintained at a reasonable cost, social and health costs funded at a sustainable level and reduced increases in user fees for transit, water and recreation programs to rates of inflation. PROPERTY ASSESSMENTS are reassessed every four years, so your home will be valued by MPAC as of January 1, 2016. You will receive your notice later in the year along with information on how to appeal the value if you disagree with it. The City does not gain additional taxes if values go up as the value municipality uses for taxes is adjusted to the average change. For example, if total residential assessments go up by 10% and your home assessment goes up by 10%, your taxes remain the same. I’ll hold an information session once the notices are sent out to assist you in understanding your assessment. The new values will not be used to determine tax rates in 2016 as adjustments may be made. They will be used in 2017. WINTER doesn’t seem to want to come this year, but I’m still dreaming of a white Christmas. Take time to enjoy the season by skating on the canal (when it freezes) or on the rinks at City Hall, Centrepointe and Landsdowne. Go to the “Winter in the City” page at www.ottawa.ca to see activities for you and your family to make winter one of your favourite seasons. KEEP VALUABLES SAFE! Take simple preventative measures such as ensuring your vehicle is locked, and keeping valuable items out of sight or out of the car.
The project is being planned under Schedule B of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment. The EA study has confirmed project need and justification, documented existing environmental conditions, examined alternatives, potential impacts and recommended mitigation measures, and provided opportunity for comments from review agencies and the public, all leading to the development of a preferred solution. If concerns arise regarding this project, which cannot be resolved in discussion with the municipality, a person or party may request that the Minister of Environment make an order for the project to comply with Part II of the Environmental Assessment Act (referred to as a Part II Order), which addresses individual environment assessments. Requests must be received by the Minister at the address below within 30 calendar days of the first publication of this Notice. A copy of the request must also be sent to the City at the address below. If there is no request received by Monday, January 18, 2016, the project will proceed to detailed design and construction as presented in the planning documentation.

EVENTS LAST WEEK – As well as participating in the long budget debate and the Built Heritage Committee, I met with staff to go over the work plan for Ottawa Community Lands (which I chair), took part in the open house for the proposed development of the Kanata Highlands and attended the open house for the extension of the Bus Transitway from Bayshore to Moodie (to be open late in 2017). As well as dealing with city matters, I served at the Christmas Exchange breakfast, attended holiday festivities such as the Kanata Seniors Christmas Lunch and judged cookies at Chartwell Kanata. It was great to attend the Corner Store opening and fill up at the new Ultramar at 69.9 cents per litre! It was a pleasure to host members of the community at a Holiday Social last Sunday and to announce the winners of the Christmas card contest, listen to a children’s choir and enjoy beautiful harp music. A Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah, Pancha Ganapati and happy holidays to all! UPCOMING EVENTS

ottawa
Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson recently announced a partnership to create hands-on learning opportunities for students as Ottawa prepares to welcome millions of visitors for Canada’s 150th birthday celebrations. The partnership will seek to create opportunities for students at Algonquin College to participate in the planning, development and delivery of Ottawa 2017 programs that relate to their field of study. In addition to the partnership, Ottawa 2017 is announcing the creation of the “SuperHost150” program, a unique training tool to help ready tourism industry staff, volunteers and residents to welcome visitors to Ottawa in 2017, which will be developed in collaboration with both Algonquin College and La Cité. “Our city will be centre stage in 2017, as a record number of Canadians come to their capital to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Confederation,” said Watson. “Together with our partners at Algonquin College, we’re creating a destination experience that will engage all residents as Ottawa 2017 ambassadors.” In 2017, Algonquin College will also be celebrating a milestone: its 50th anniversary. In the spirit of the SuperHost150 program and to mark a half century of education excellence, the post-secondary institution will look to welcome visitors to stay in campus residences during peak tourism periods. uality of programming and services that people will experience when they visit, and on the memories of our city they will take home with them.”

The city and CIBC announced a multiyear and multi-million dollar deal for Canada’s 2017 birthday bash at the Mayor’s breakfast on Dec. 8. The bank will be Ottawa 2017’s lead sponsor. Coming off their deal with the PanAm Games in Toronto, the bank is also nearing its 150th birthday. “The 2017 celebrations will galvanize Canada like never before,” said CIBC executive vice-president Stephen Forbes. Forbes said the bank was excited to be a community partner and experienced a big return on its investment in the PanAm Games. “Client feedback was overwhelmingly positive,” he said. “And 80 per cent of our employees were more proud to work at CIBC after the games than before.” Mayor Jim Watson said it was the biggest partnership for an event in the city’s history. While the dollar amount hasn’t yet been
announced, it’s in the millions, he said. Aside from the cash infusion, other events were also announced to much pomp and circumstance at the business breakfast. On July 2, Gatineau and Ottawa will host the first inter-provincial picnic on the Alexandra bridge. A local company will lay down sod so visitors and Ottawans can enjoy lunch with a vista featuring the Canadian Museum of History. At city hall there will be something called Inspiration Village, where each province and territory will be invited to share their culture with performing and visual arts for a week each in the summer of 2017. The bank also pledged to sponsor an event at the Shaw Centre. Guy Laflamme, executive director of the Ottawa 2017 Bureau, said the best is yet to come when it comes to planning for the 2017 150th birthday bash for Canada. “We have only announced 15 per cent of what’s happening,” he said. We are on page 50 off a 300-page playbook.”

Bear patrol Players from the Ottawa 67’s join members of their cheer team and staff in collecting hundreds of stuffed animals tossed on the ice of TD Place during the annual Teddy Bear Toss on Dec. 13. The Christmastime tradition, performed after the first goal scored by the home team, supports the children served by the Salvation Army. The 67’s fell to the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds 8-5.

spoke to the Ottawa Board of Health at its draft budget meeting on Dec. 7. Doll stressed the importance of the 12 Good Food markets to neighbourhoods such as Bayshore. The health board’s portion of the city’s budget equals $59 million and included a $200,000 reserve fund for IT system upgrades and $280,000 for the prevention of infectious diseases. Another $200,000 was earmarked for suicide prevention programs centred around the workplace. But there wasn’t enough money left in the coffers for the money Doll asked for. She wanted a total of $140,000 of combined staffing and operating dollars and a dedicated 0.5 FTE position from the city’s public health department. Doll said the coalition that operates the
markets lost funding from the Trillium Fund, which had given them $250,000 in their first year – with a eye towards becoming self sustaining. “It’s an important service that in-

creases access to healthy, affordable, culturally-appropriate food,” Doll said. “Good Food Markets and Market Mobile wouldn’t have been possible without Ottawa Public Health.” “That was way to easy!”
Dr. Levy said public health is committed to ensuring the program survives. “We need to stay around some of these efforts and see what a sustainable model might be,” he said. “But we are not willing to commit a 0.5 FTE to any one project.” Charles Black, a volunteer with the Good Food Market in Accora Village, formerly known a Bayshore, said not only did the market provide access to healthy food, it also provides an opportunity for socialization. Beverly Puddicomb, another resident of Accora Village, said a lot of her neighbours use the market. “Because a lot of us do groceries once a month, and fresh fruit and vegetables go bad,” she said. “So we spend a lot of our month without fresh produce.” “I just clicked and saved 90%”

Family of autistic child dreading end of holidays Adam Kveton
adam.kveton@metroland.com
While most people are excited for the holiday season with Christmas fast approaching, stay-at-home mom Jenny Moore is far more worried about the end of December. That’s when the funding for her son’s personal support worker runs out. “She’s like the glue,” said Moore of the support worker who has been able to calm Moore’s often violent eight-year-old son, Alex, with a highly structured schedule, while also helping out around the house as Moore recovers from a mental breakdown.
But with the Katimavik family’s finances low, they are unable to keep their support worker into the new year, and Moore fears what could happen to her family. “It’s not going to take much for us all to fall apart all over again,” said Moore. Desperate to find help, Moore started a GoFundMe page in the hopes of raising $5,000 to keep the support worker through until the end of March, during which time she hopes Alex could make some real progress. So far, the page has raised $840. See FUNDRAISER, page 33

It was a dark June night. The Royal Canadian Navy Destroyer, HMCS Algonquin was 150 miles off the cost of California. Commanding Officer Tim Kerr was preparing the crew for a two month deployment. Tim’s life was about to change…forever. One minute Tim is running the treadmill in the ship’s gymnasium. The next thing he remembers is waking up in the US Navy Hospital in San Diego. Tim had suffered a brain hemorrhage and serious stroke. “I was unable to us my left arm or leg,” he recalls. “I couldn’t even sit up straight.” Even though Tim’s crew made life-saving decisions he still faced a very long road to recovery. Tim immediately began his fight to regain some of his previous life. Tim’s journey brought him to Élizabeth Bruyère Hospital. “Bruyère is a world-class facility,” says Tim. “They have the best people and they are focused on getting their patients up, out and back to a regular life. That’s what they did for me.” Tim spent six months at Bruyère as a patient in the Stroke Rehabilitation Unit and as an outpatient where he continued to receive rehabilitation services. “It was a tough six months” recalls Tim. “There were setbacks, tears and eventually…triumph, thanks to all the professionals at Bruyère.” Tim knows he was lucky to survive. People who meet him today have no idea he once suffered a massive stroke. Tim also knows luck had nothing to do with his recovery. “I owe my new life to the people at Bruyère and the donors who so kindly support the
work they do,” says Tim. He understands how life can change in an instant. Bruyère has been part of Ottawa for 170 years. “There is an urgent and real need for a strong Bruyère in our community,” he says. “Together we must ensure they have the tools they need to help us if ever and whenever we need them.” Year-end giving at Bruyère. “I hope people read my story and make a year-end gift in support of Bruyère. So many people will be grateful for the support.” YOUR END OF YEAR SUPPORT MATTERS When you support Bruyère, you help people like Tim Kerr.

Fundraiser started to keep valued support worker into March Continued from page 31
When Alex was diagnosed with autism and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, it was hard for Moore and her husband to accept. “We didn’t believe it,” she said. “It’s like, ‘No, no, it must be just behaviour, it’s his age, boys mature slower. He’s just a boy, that’s what they are like.’ But it got to the point where it was so bad that you absolutely had to face it.” Alex was being “extremely violent,” said Moore, attacking people, biting, turning over furniture and breaking things. He would
attack Moore multiple times a day. “I am covered in scars from his nails and teeth,” she said on the GoFundMe page for Alex. “He was like an animal,” she said. Moore has been a stayat-home mom since Alex was diagnosed, but the family’s situation has become worse, especially as they faced financial trouble. “It was bad, everything was bad, and the stress was so much that I just had a complete mental breakdown and I had to spend two months in the hospital,” said Moore. During that time, the family was able to get some funding for a personal sup-
port worker who has been able to draw order out of chaos, and bring out the best in Alex.
than he has been his whole life. “Normally I’m being attacked three times a day and
We were having police come to restrain him and he was constantly at CHEO and now just to sit and talk with him and to not to be afraid of him. I feel like I have, I feel like I have my son back. Jenny Moore
“He thrives on routine and schedule, and (our support worker) has got everything down to like 20-minute intervals and he is doing better. He’s doing better
now it’s maybe once a week or so. (The support worker is) giving him what he needs and he can talk and he can have a conversation.” Alex’s teachers are even
talking about putting him back into a mainstream school. “We didn’t think that would every happen,” said Moore. He’s also been able to do animal therapy with lizards – a group of animals he is particularly fond of – and work at Little Ray’s Reptile Zoo feeding animals. “It’s amazing. I didn’t ever think that we would get to this point. We were having police come to restrain him and he was constantly at CHEO and now just to sit and talk with him and to have, not to be afraid of him. I feel like I have, I feel like I have my son back.” It’s losing him again that
Moore is afraid of. Feeling like she had nowhere else to turn to, Moore began the fundraiser to keep their support worker until the end of March. “When March comes around I’ll be done with the hospital, I’ll be done my intensive therapy and I think, given that much time, I’ll be able to function again.” Moore said she hopes to keep Alex’s progress going if their support worker can bridge the gap. “Because you snap your fingers and it can all fall back again,” said Moore.

Bare Bottoms diaper drive to ease load of struggling parents Erin McCracken
erin.mccracken@metroland.com
Shauna Quinn is on a mission to diaper babies’ bums across Ottawa, and beyond. The Nepean resident’s sixth-annual Bare Bottoms Diaper Drive this holiday season has so far brought in about 2,000 diapers toward her goal of collecting 10,000 diaper donations by early January. Her efforts may seem impressive and her goal daunting, but both are outstripped by the demand by parents struggling to cover the costs of adequately diapering their children. The average child, from the time they are born until
they are fully potty trained, goes through about 7,500 disposable diapers. “So if we have a goal of 10,000 diapers, we’re really helping 1.5 babies, from birth to potty training,” Quinn said. “That’s it.” Parents are faced with trying to come up with an average of $100 to $150 a month to diaper one child. Newborn needs are higher – about 12 diapers a day, while older children may require fewer diapers, but still need training pants. Quinn launched her inaugural diaper drive at McDaniel’s Your Independent Grocer in Nepean when her daughter, now seven, was still in diapers. It was through Hug-
gies’ Every Little Bottom program, which provides diapers to those in need, that Quinn was taken aback by some alarming statistics. “It was amazing to me, things like, in Canada one out of five parents is struggling to put diapers on their baby, and one out of every 20 has actually admitting to emptying out a soiled diaper and using it again,” she said. “As a parent, you know that is a basic, essential need.” Leaving dirty diapers on for extended periods of time can cause emotional as well as health issues, such as a susceptibility to urinary tract and staph infections.
NEED RISING
Though those stats date back about five years, she suspects the numbers have gone up along with increasing costs. Compounding the problem, many daycares require parents to send a full day’s worth of diapers, a problem if money is tight. The parent may have to stay home from work, impacting already limited paycheques. “It’s perpetuating poverty, really,” Quinn said. She wants to change that and improve lives, one – or more – diaper at a time. After generating more than 10,863 diapers during her 2014 drive, Quinn has since worked to extend her reach, partnering with additional stores and organizations this year to give more residents the chance to donate. She now has diaper dropoff locations as far away as Orléans and Almonte, and is now collecting cloth
diapers for the new Kanatabased Ottawa Cloth Diaper Lending Program. Many of the disposable diaper donations will go to the Ottawa Food Bank, as well as stay with Bethany Hope Centre, which helps young families. FUTURE PLANS
Quinn has big plans for her diaper drive. She hopes to make her initiative a non-profit organization one day and have permanent donation bins in locations across the city year round, even turn it into a diaper bank. McDaniel’s Independent has agreed to have a collection bin all year. The need for diapers doesn’t just arise at Christmas, she said. Though Quinn has received increasing support over the years, she has also been on the receiving end of a backlash, with comments such as, “‘If you’re poor,
you shouldn’t be having children.’” But people’s circumstances shouldn’t be painted with the same brush, she said. “What if you got laid off ? What if, heaven forbid, your partner was in a tragic accident and can no longer work? There’s a whole whack of what-ifs there that people don’t take into consideration,” said Quinn. That negative attitude can prevent some people from seeking help if the y need it. “I’ve even heard of some people trying to potty train their babies early just because of the cost of diapers,” she said. The diaper drive continues until early January. Open packages of diapers are welcome, as are single diaper donations. Diapers can also be dropped off at Ottawa Food Bank collection bins.

will have the best equipment. CT scans are the backbone of Medical Imaging. They give radiologists the critical information needed to diagnose and save lives. CHEO needs a new CT scanner that will transform CHEO’s ability to improve technique and decrease scan time. Pictures of your child’s brain or body can be obtained much faster! These pictures are very accurate and detailed and they allow radiologists to detect small and important changes or concerns.
It will have a tremendous impact on patient care. From babies to teenagers, patients who need these exams must be exposed to radiation in order to find a diagnosis. With the new technologies available, new scanners emit lower radiation doses significantly and are much faster. This means a patient spends less time on the CT table! It can mean a reduced need for anesthesia as well.
PLEASE HELP US PURCHASE THIS REVOLUTIONARY PIECE OF TECHNOLOGY TO HELP CHEO’S PATIENTS, JUST LIKE VIENNA. Have a profound impact on the life of a child!

Father’s Model T paint job not appreciated by all
W
e hadn’t had the old Model T Ford for a full year. It came to us through the simple act of a trade. A neighbour needed sand from our gravel pit, he had no money to pay for it, and we got the old battered car instead of cash. It was that simple. The deal was made with the shake of a hand. Load after load of gravel was hauled by my brothers to the neighbour’s culvert, which had been washed away with the Spring runoff of the Bonnechere River, and when the final load was delivered, my brother Everett drove the old Model T home. It wasn’t much to look at. The two front fenders were different colours, a result of the original owner trying, and failing, to paint over a deep dent, and there was a hole in the floor board in the back seat as big as a pie plate that allowed you to see the washboard road out of Northcote without looking out the window. But it was our first car, and it opened up a whole new world for us. The time it took to ride into
MARY COOK Memories Renfrew with the horse was cut in half, and Mother who soon mastered the fine art of driving the old car, even ventured as far as Ottawa. But those mismatched fenders didn’t sit well with Father. He managed to partially repair the dent with a hammer, and he said one day when he had a bit of time to spare, he would nail a piece of tin over the hole in the floorboards in the back. And then, after the first snow fall that year (and it was a doozie) Father said it was time to think about putting the car up for the winter. I was really upset, because I never once thought we couldn’t drive the Model T through the snow. Father pointed to the narrow tires with the stem of his pipe and said, “Ya wouldn’t even get as far as the gate in the snow
with those.” So Father drove the car into the drive shed where it would sit until the Spring thaw. Father was pretty proud of that old car. And that Fall day he decided it was only fitting that the Model T have fenders that matched. Buying new ones from Thacker’s Garage in Renfrew, even if they were available, was out of the question, so Father decided he would paint them both the same colour. He looked over all the old cans of paint stacked on a shelf in the drive shed. Father locked his eyes on the can of silver paint used to paint the stove pipes in the house. “By gar, there’s enough here to do the job real nice,” he said, shaking the can to make sure. He got a paint brush that had been sitting in a pot of turpentine, gave it a few swipes with an old rag he found on the dirt floor, and without consulting Mother, began slapping the silver paint onto the two front fenders. Father had to scrape the bottom of the paint pail to get the very last drop out,
which he slathered over the already painted fenders for good measure. Well, all of this was done without consulting Mother. It was getting dark in the drive shed when he asked me to run in the house and get Mother. “Don’t tell her about the painting...just tell her I need her out here for a real nice surprise.” Well, Mother threw a sweater over her house dress and went out to see what Father wanted, with my sister Audrey close on her heels. What he wanted, and what he expected was for Mother to be overjoyed with the new silver fenders! She slapped her hand over her mouth, and said nothing. It was Audrey who said exactly what she thought of Father’s paint job. She vowed she wouldn’t be caught dead in a car with silver fenders, and that’s all there was to it. She said if she had to drive into town in it, Father could let her out at the outskirts. Well, she wouldn’t have to worry about it for a few months anyway. The car was in the drive shed for the winter.
The next day, a Saturday it was, Father rounded up the three brothers, and rolled four big blocks of wood from the wood pile into the drive shed. And as if it was as light as a feather, they hoisted up the car and put the four blocks under it, freeing the wheels from the cold dirt floor for the winter. Audrey changed her mind about riding in the car with the silver fenders when she found out she either got in or stayed home when Spring rolled round. As for me, I thought the paint job added a touch of class to the old car. I knew we were the owners of the only car in all of Renfrew County with silver fenders, and a hole in the floor where I could see the Northcote road without even looking out a window.

O LITTLE TOWN OF BETHLEHEM Phillips Brooks 19th Century Lewis H. Redner 19th Century
O little town of Bethlehem, How still we see thee lie! Above thy deep and dreamless sleep The silent stars go by; Yet in the dark streets shineth The everlasting Light; The hopes and fears of all the years Are met in thee tonight. For Christ is born of Mary; And gathering all above, While mortals sleep, the angels keep Their watch of wondering love. O morning stars, together Proclaim the holy birth, And praises sing to God the King, And peace to men on earth. How silently how silently, The wonderous gift is given! So God imparts to human hearts The blessings of His heaven. No ear may hear His coming; But in this world of sin, Where meek souls will receive Him, still The dear Christ enters in. O Holy Child of Bethlehem, Descend to us, we pray; Cast out our sin, and enter in; Be born in us today. We hear the Christmas angels The great glad tidings tell; O come to us, abide with us, Our Lord Emmanuel.

It came upon a midnight clear, That glorious song of old, From angels bending near the earth To touch their harps of gold:“Peace on earth, goodwill to men, From heaven’s all-gracious King!” The world in solemn stillness lay To hear the angels sing.

You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen, Comet and Cupid and Donner and BlitzenBut do you recall the most famous reindeer of all?
Still through the cloven skies they come. With peaceful wings unfurled: And still their heavenly music floats O’er all the weary world; Above its sad and lowly plains They bend on hovering wing. And ever o’er its Babel Sounds The blessed angels sing. And ye, beneath life’s crushing load, Whose forms are bending low, Who toil along the climbing way With painful steps and slow, Look now! for glad and golden hours come swiftly on the wing; O rest beside the weary road, and hear the angels sing. For lo, the days are hastening on, By prophet bards foretold, When with the ever circling years Comes round the age of gold; When peace shall over all the earth Its ancient splendors fling, And the whole world give back the song Which now the angels sing.
In other words, “have yourself a merry little Christmas!”

City passes budget with two per cent increase Jennifer McIntosh
jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
The city passed a budget on Dec. 9 that will mean a two per cent increase in property taxes. While the budget will mean a modest increase of $11 to the average homeowner, the increase on the water bill will be an extra $49. Transit riders will pay an average of 2.5 per cent more on fares – meaning an adult bus pass will go from $103 per month to $105. Rideau-Rockcliffe Coun. Tobi Nussbaum unsuccessfully moved to freeze transit fares by moving the increase to a transit levy. The levy would have meant an annual increase of $6 to the average homeowner. The motion was defeated, as many councillors were concerned about the possibility of paying the piper down the road. “We have seen fare freezes in the past where the result was a much larger increase in future years,” said Cumberland Coun. Stephen Blais, adding the 2.5 per cent increase is a key part of the city’s transit affordability plan.
Five councillors dissented on the budget, citing a lack of transparency around proposed job cuts, the city’s debt load and efficiencies. Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans took a beating after proposing a motion to cut three additional full-time equivalents from the city’s workforce to pay for $250,000 in one-time

funding to help out some of the city’s front line social service agencies. Deans is chair of the community and protective services committee, and heard from dozens of agencies about the increased demand for services like the food bank and dwindling funding
dollars. Originally Deans’ motion sought to use a city contingency fund to find the money, but Mayor Jim Watson ruled her out of order because the $250,000 didn’t have a corresponding spending cut on another item. Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder said she thought the 1.5 per cent increase being given to social service agencies was fair, as other departments, like the police were all allocated the same thing. ‘MAYOR’S BUDGET’
Deans said she couldn’t vote for “the mayor’s” budget. “A budget process that turns a blind eye and a deaf ear to the concerns of the city’s most vulnerable members isn’t doing the city a service,” she said. College Coun. Rick Chiarelli also voted against the budget, saying the city has doubled it’s debt in five years, and with no plan to pay it back, he worries what will happen to core services once the debt from light rail is added.

“We’ve had to tighten up and can barely afford services now,” he said. “And we have two trains coming at us and the billions of dollars that will cost.” Chiarelli said the proposed cut of 50 jobs from the city’s workforce was unclear and he couldn’t tell residents it wouldn’t affect services without knowing where the jobs would come from. During previous terms of council, members would be told where the cuts were coming from, he said, adding snow removal will return to a council standard. “We’ve always been above
the standard before, but you can’t cut millions without it affecting the service,” he said. Watson said the budget struck a good balance between maintaining services and the city living within their means. “It was a tough year,” Watson said. The 2016 budget ends a five year streak for the mayor – who saw unanimous budgets passed during his first five years in office. Watson said of the job cuts that it’s not council’s job to get into the city’s human resources inner workings – there’s a city manager for that.
He said of the councillors that dissented that not one of them passed a motion or amendment to the budget. “It’s our collective responsibility to not simply oppose everything but to propose alternatives,” he said. But Chiarelli said councillors have met with the mayor and the city manager to discuss ideas for cost savings, but none of it made its way into the budget. “Any motion that has cross-departmental solutions can’t be introduced until council, so you’re only other option is your 15 allotted minutes with the mayor and the city manager,” he said.

uOttawa researchers link gene, high blood pressure alex.robinson@metroland.com
University of Ottawa researchers have discovered a link between a specific gene and high blood pressure, which could lead to improved treatment of the condition. The group of molecular cardiologists found the link while conducting research on mice to figure out whether the gene variant – called GATA5 – had any correlation to congenital heart disease. Instead, they found that an absence of the gene was linked to an increase in high blood pressure, also known as hypertension. “Our findings in mice who lack GATA5 are consistent with the traits of human essential hypertension and led us to examine the status of this gene in hypertensive individuals,”
said Dr. Mona Nemer, the professor who led the group. “Our study opens up new avenues for the prevention of hypertension and its associated health complications.” High blood pressure affects 20 per cent of adults in Canada and leads to an estimated seven million deaths from heart failure in North America every year. The condition occurs when narrowing blood vessels cause pressure and force the heart to work harder. The gene, which the researchers have linked to high blood pressure, was discovered decades ago, but the group has found a new function for it. “The gene is important for the arterial cell’s function,” said Smale Mesaoudi, a postdoctoral researcher involved in the project.

“The implication goes beyond high blood pressure. This gene might be involved in other diseases.” While the discovery could lead to improved treatment of high blood pressure, the group’s findings also opens up new lines of study to see if the gene has any correlation to other diseases such as arterial sclerosis. “Lifestyle changes and Submitted/TK medication can help con- Dr. Mona Nemer, a University of Ottawa professor, leads a team of researchers that has trol hypertension in some discovered a link between a specific gene and high blood pressure. people, but we urgently need new treatments to reduce the staggering death and disability toll due to this condition,” said Dr. Duncan Stewart, a cardiologist and professor at uOttawa. “This research opens the door for the development of a totally new class of hypertension drugs, which could profoundly improve health.”

OPP Sgt. Daril Holmes waves a red-glowing baton, signalling the next driver in line to stop in front of him. The veteran officer leans close to the open window, trying to detect the smell of alcohol, asking the driver if any alcohol has been consumed that evening. One drink, the driver responds. Holmes motions him to manoeuvre his car to the side of the Highway 417 off-ramp at Maitland Avenue. “We’re just going to check if you’re OK (to drive),” Holmes tells the driver before administering a breathalyzer test. It was one of about 15 tests during an hour on Dec. 10; the second night of a three-night MegaRIDE checkpoint program, involving the RCMP, OPP and Ottawa and mili-
tary police. A few drivers came close to blowing .05. Sponsored by the notfor-profit Ottawa Insurance Brokers Association and a number of insurance companies, the joint police RIDE program is the only one of its kind in Ontario. For well over a decade, Ottawa insurance association members have been joining officers for the drinking and driving campaign for the three weeks leading up to Christmas. Once a driver is cleared by an officer, an insurance rep presents the motorist with a gift to thank them for not drinking and driving. This year, water bottles are being handed out, branded with the names of participating police agencies and sponsoring insurance companies. At the Maitland Avenue ramps, 600 bottles were distributed. “It’s a great public awareness program,” says
Michael Lalande, a Kanata-based insurance agent and president of the insurance association, which represents 500 independent Ottawa insurance brokers. SUSPENSION
During the first stop of the program on Dec. 3 along Hunt Club Road near Uplands Drive, one motorist was slapped with a three-day licence suspension for blowing between .05 and .08. The vehicle was immediately towed. “It’s to let the public know that the police are out and it’s time to be responsible. They’re watching. Don’t drink and drive,” Lalande says. Being nabbed by police for impaired driving can bring with it a 300-per-cent spike in the driver’s insurance rate, he added. See A DIFFERENT, page 57

Centretown resident Derrick Wohlfahrt, left, gifts a motorist with a water bottle while Kanata-based OPP Sgt. Daril Holmes looks on during a Mega-RIDE checkpoint at Highway 417 and Maitland Avenue on Dec. 10. The program, which is the only one of its kind in the province, brings together all four local police agencies and members of the Ottawa Insurance Brokers Association. 1203.R0013583990
“It’s very, very serious,” Lalande says. “The biggest thing is loss of life and risk of injury, and unfortunately most of the time it’s the innocent party that’s hurt.” The collaborative effort also sends a message to the public that police agencies are committed to working together to combat drinking and driving, says OPP spokesman Const. Rhéal Levac. “What’s nice about this is it’s a different way to send the message,” the Kanata-based officer says. Holmes also handed drivers a Canadian Blood Services card and asked them to give blood and think of his son. Holmes’s son, Matthew, now 12, was diagnosed with leukemia when he was eight years old. “His life was saved as a result of the Canadian Blood Services,” he says, adding that his son is now OK. The checkpoint was Brian Erwin’s first time taking part in the program. “This is really cool,” says Erwin, an insurance broker and financial adviser with Currey Insurance in
the Ridgemont area of Alta Vista. In addition to enjoying balmy temperatures, he relished the chance to work with police. “The camaraderie between the four forces is amazing. They’re all like one unit,” he says, adding he was also encouraged by how receptive motorists were when they were handed the boxed gifts. “They look at you with a stunned look on their face,” Erwin says. “They don’t even ask what it is.” The RCMP will take the lead during the final Mega-RIDE checkpoint at an undisclosed location on Dec. 17.

Results of councillors’ election audits split Jennifer McIntosh
jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
In a split decision, two councillors whose 2014 election campaign filings were under review saw only one case move forward for legal proceedings. The election audit committee ruled on Dec. 13 that Bay Coun. Mark Taylor was in contravention of the Municipal Election Act and voted in favour of initiating legal proceedings. West Carleton-March Coun. Eli El-Chantiry’s 2014 election campaign filings were also audited based on application by Nepean resident Patrick Ready. For El-Chantiry, whose campaign expenses were under the microscope for discrepancies in the valuation old campaign materials and returned corporate donations,
the process is over. While the committee found his filings touched on grey areas, committee members elected not to initiate legal proceedings. For Taylor the committee decision is just the beginning. Taylor’s filings contained what committee members called a clerical error. His 2010 financial statement — which said he had no deficit — didn’t match his 2014 statement, which said he was carrying over a deficit of more than $4,000 from the previous election. The mistake was in the audit of the 2010 elections; the wrong amount was carried forward to the 2014 financial documents. In an effort to correct the error, Taylor filed amended documents in July. But committee members said they weren’t supposed
to consider amended documents, and questioned their timing. “A note with the 2014 filings about the deficit in 2010 could have been included,” said Lloyd Russell, a member of the committee, adding it could have prevented the entire process. Any member of the public could’ve been confused by the different numbers in the two reports, he said. But Taylor said the error wasn’t evident until Ready’s application was filed, and he’d made an attempt to fix it as transparently as possible. “We tried to do so with full integrity and fairness,” Taylor said. Even Ready seemed surprised by the outcome of the committee meeting. He said he was confused by the decision to proceed with legal ac-

tion in one case, and not the other. “Of the five I completed, I was the least sure about Mr. Taylor’s case,” Ready said, adding El-Chantiry took election contributions after the close of the campaign – which to him seems to be very cut and dry. FURTHER REVIEW
Taylor said he wouldn’t comment on why the committee dealt with the cases differently, and said he has talked with his lawyer about the possibility of a judicial review of the decision. “This is a process, and we will keep dealing with the process,” he said. Ready filed applications to review the campaign filings of five councillors: Cumberland Coun. Stephen Blais, RideauVanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury, Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri, River Coun. Riley Brockington, El-Chantiry and Taylor. See TAYLOR, page 59

Bay Ward Coun. Mark Taylor says he will continue with the process after the city’s election audit committee voted to commence legal proceedings due to errors in his 2014 campaign filings.

Taylor may pursue judicial review of committee’s filings Continued from page 58
Ready alleged that ElChantiry didn’t accurately report the value of his campaign signs, which could mean the councillor overspent his legal campaign contribution limit. He also alleged the councillor accepted ineligible donations, didn’t record a $100 nomination fee reimbursement as income, and didn’t account for $5,125 in returned donations. The signs were the bulk of the discussion in El-Chantiry’s case, as the campaign contributions were un-cashed cheques. El-Chantiry listed 300 small signs that were bought in 2006 as campaign expenses, as per the Municipal Elections Act. The problem arose when he listed the old signs’
ron, one of the auditors, told the committee. El-Chantiry said he was glad to be exonerated, but planned to get rid of all his old campaign material to avoid something like this in the future, he said. “It’s certainly not what I want to do,” he said, adding he didn’t want to see election signs clog up the landfill. “But since the act is unclear, that’s what I would advise anyone to do.”| The committee could have pursued costs for the audits if it was deemed the application was without merit. The committee decided there was reasonable grounds for the review, which means the city is on the hook for the more than $67,000 in expenses already incurred.
replacement value at $1.56 each. The signs he purchased in 2014 were listed at $4 per sign. J.P Kingsley, chair of the committee, tried to direct the auditors to assign present-day values to the signs, but the city’s lawyer, Benoit Duchesne, said that was inappropriate. Kingsley said the option of using old campaign signs gave the incumbent an undue advantage over first-time candidates. And, given that ElChantiry was within $44 of his contribution limit – Kingsley said he wondered if the valuation of the signs would have put him over. The Municipal Election Act doesn’t give clear direction on the value of old campaign materials, Marco Per-
The funds to pay for the city’s lawyers and the per diem for the audit committee members – which is $175 per hour – come out of the city’s election reserve fund according to city clerk’s office. Following the decision to initiate legal proceedings, city staff must now hire a prosecutor to deal with Taylor’s case. The prosecutor has to be from outside city limits. In some cases – as was the case with Brockington in 2011 – the prosecutor can advise the governing body that there’s no chance of conviction. If that happens, the
case would be dropped. If it proceeds, the matter would go before the Ontario Board of Justice. If found guilty, Taylor would lose his seat and be prohibited from campaigning for office again. The last case of a councillor’s expenses being audited was in 2000 for then Kitchissippi councillor Shawn Little. Ready, who ran for a trustee position at the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board in 2006 and again in 2014, said there’s no reason anyone should be unclear about what is and isn’t al-

lowed during an election campaign. “You get emails almost daily with directions about things under the Municipal Election Act,” he said. But the act has no teeth, Ready said, which is why he took it upon himself to review the councillors’ expenses. Ready balked at the suggestion that he has an axe to grind, saying he had to be pretty sure the applications were deemed reasonable or he could have been on the hook for “tens of thousands of dollars.”

This week’s puzzle answers in next week’s issue
Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 This can be a terrific week for you, Aries. Make the most of every moment and don’t be surprised as you successfuly juggle many different things at once. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Work may seem overwhelming at times in the week ahead, Taurus. Keep your head down and stay focused on the tasks at hand. Others will be impressed. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, make the most of an opportunity to move forward with your goals. You have plenty of energy, and your mind is focused. Hang around with like-minded individuals as well. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Don’t get too wrapped up in other people’s business, Cancer. You don’t want to intrude on others, and your loved ones are fully capable of solving their own problems. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, you may feel like you’re on top of the world this week. That’s because you have the potential to conquer an elusive goal in the next few days. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Act now, Virgo, or you might get left behind. You can’t sit around and wait for things to unfold. Sometimes you have to take charge, and this is one of those times.
