Land trust proposal for Beaver Pond Council candidate offers alternative JESSICA CUNHA KOURIER-STANDARD Kanata North councillor candidate Jeff Seeton said he will be asking city council to consider an alternative approach in preventing development of the Beaver Pond lands. He said he wants to establish a land trust to purchase the section of the South March Highlands from KNL Developments Inc. “We’ve seen how effective our council has been up to this point,” said the 40-year-old business man. “We haven’t been able to establish any kind of hold on the property so I started researching alternate solutions.” However, Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson said she can’t see the city deeding property to another land authority. ‘CITY IS A HORRIBLE MANAGER OF LAND’ The non-profit charitable land trust would be governed by an elected board of directors.

“We would take it completely out of city hands,” said Seeton. “(The board) would be people who live in the community, who care about this property. No city officials.” He said the land would be purchased by the trust at fair market price. “There are two key points here: the first is that we will pay a fair market price that the developers could agree on and the second point is that we will not be using property taxes to pay for the purchase of the property,” said Seeton. A land trust for the Rideau Water Way works much in the same way, he said. A volunteer board of directors controls the land. Seeton said he wants to ensure the 29 hectares of land north of the Beaver Pond is kept as it is. “The city is a horrible manager of land sometimes; the Beaver Pond is an example of that,” said Seeton.

Kanata students at three elementary schools added some new students Friday, Oct. 8 – 28 children from China who hope to learn about Canada while brushing up on their English. Castlefrank, Glen Cairn and South March public schools will host the visitors until Nov. 3. The children and two teachers arrived last night and were at Castlefrank Elementary School this morning for an ofﬁcial welcome and an orientation session. All 28 visitors are from Peking University Elementary School Castlefrank principal Andrew Canham made the 10- and 11year-old visitors laugh with his

opening statement – a phonetic interpretation from English into Mandarin that, not surprisingly, came with a stilted delivery. Public school board chair Cathy Curry stuck to English. “We’re very happy to have you here, and the kids are excited you’re here,” Curry said, before teaching the day’s first lesson. “Make sure you get some sleep.” The young visitors enjoyed a small buffet of fruit and baked items, although the fruit seemed most popular. Some used forks and some used chopsticks. When they discovered that a large liquid container held coffee, many filled up on their first-ever Tim Hortons.

On the Pond

BEAVER POND, FROM 1

MOTION DEFERRED Wilkinson’s motion to delay developing the Beaver Pond land until the National Capital Commission completes its Greenbelt study was deferred until Nov. 17. Council wants staff to report on the impact of stopping development on the land and how it would impact future developments in the area, including sewer systems and roads. Wilkinson brought the motion before council on Wednesday, Oct. 6 since there wasn’t enough support on council to pass a previous motion asking the city to buy the land. The NCC’s study will include an option to turn the South March Highlands into a “finger” of the Greenbelt. “Now we’re getting a watered-down motion to save development for the spring,” said Seeton. jessica.cunha@metroland.com

City council will vote on a motion to delay development on 29 hectares of land in the South March Highlands on Nov. 17.

Beaver Pond vote delayed until November BLAIR EDWARDS KOURIER-STANDARD A motion to delay development on 29 hectares of land in the South March Highlands has been deferred until Nov. 17. City council directed staff to report on the impact of a delay on plans to extend services and new roads in the area. The report will also look at opportunities to trade land with Urbandale, one of the two developers that formed the partnership KNL Developments Inc., the owner of the land. “I’ve been working with Urbandale on

this already,” said Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson. “and what residuals would have to be funded.” So far Urbandale has indicated it is willing to swap five hectares of land with the city, said Wilkinson. Wilkinson said her colleagues at council – including the mayor – are open to the idea of purchasing the land. “People who were nervous about it were actually talking positive (about) how we were going to get the (29 hectares of land),” she said. blair.edwards@metroland.com

“Marianne Wilkinson is making last ditch efforts now but it would have been nice if it happened 25 years ago. The developers will just run off to the OMB who will rubber stamp it; they always do.” Roger Sandwell “I feel it would be really nice if the NCC stepped in. It’s a waste.” Jill Sandwell

“This issue really was debated 30 years ago or so,” said Seeton. “At that time it was mayor Wilkinson, who is now councillor Wilkinson, who approved this process. Marianne was the big supporter of this deal that allowed it to be developed.” Wilkinson said the land slated for development is worth $18 million according to an independent appraisal. KNL Developments Inc., a partnership between developers Richcraft and Urbandale, bought the land in order to build a 3,200 home subdivision, and Wilkinson said they don’t want to sell. “His land trust says we’ll buy land if it becomes available,” she said. “Well we don’t have a willing seller.”

Constantine Ioannou is the program director at Ocenet, which coordinates international exchanges. He said the Chinese children will adapt quickly to their surroundings, much like children from any other country. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bit of culture shock: the food is sometimes different to what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re used to,â&#x20AC;? Ioannou said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They might also be more formal in their classrooms than here.â&#x20AC;? During the welcome ceremony, Liu Xuyan, second secretary of the Chinese embassy, spoke Mandarin to the children, making them feel at home. Later she said the Chinese children will likely suffer a common travel issue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are young, so they will miss their parents,â&#x20AC;? Xuyan said. The Chinese students will have surrogate parents while staying in Kanata, as they are billeted with local families. Canham has two sons, ages 10 and 12, and is hosting two boys from Beijing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The arrival went well,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The plane was on time and no luggage was lost.â&#x20AC;? In the time since the plane landed, Canham said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s already noticed how polite the visitors have been, adding the two boys staying with his family refused any help carting their luggage around the airport or at the Canham home. In Morganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Grant, Marcia Brissett is hosting two of the students for four weeks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re so excited,â&#x20AC;? she said of the two girls staying with her family. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all over the house and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re always smiling.â&#x20AC;? Brissett said she phoned their parents this morning and let the girls talk to family back home. Then it was time for a breakfast of pancakes, syrup and milk. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They liked it,â&#x20AC;? she said. nevil.hunt@metroland.com

OPINION EDITORIAL

LETTER

One, two, three lawn signs bwa ha! The scary season is upon us. Soon ghosts, ghouls and vampires will be roaming our streets, knocking on our doors, demanding our attention. Yes, the end of October can only mean one thing. We’re holding a municipal election. What’s even more frightening is how people select who to vote for in an election. Some of our lazy brethren are too busy to educate themselves on the issues and where the candidates stand. The candidates unfortuately have picked up on the electorate’s proclivity for laziness if the graveyards of election signs blighting our greenspace are any indication. They’ve turned to the Madison Avenue school of thought — why educate when you can advertise? You see, the Madison Avenue candidate figures a citizen’s vote is influenced proportionately to the number and the size of the election signs dotting our streets. It only makes sense. The candidates’ ability to govern, their intelligence, experience and ideas can only be deduced by the triedand-true method of counting lawn signs. Obviously they picture us as clones of the Count from Sesame Street. One lawn sign, two lawn signs, three lawn signs, bwah ha ha! Slogging through policy positions is simply a waste of time when you can lure voters with slogans printed in pretty colours. Don’t like the lawn-sign school of winning elections? Well, we warn you, the alternative is frightening. It involves reading a newspaper (the one you hold in your hands is a good start), researching a candidate’s platform on Google, attending debates and — GASP — applying analytical reasoning. Hmmm, picking a candidate based on their record and what they promise to do. We know. Shivers. But using the lawn-sign method of voting, while simple, might backfire a few years into the candidate’s term of office. Either way, Happy Halloween.

Hollow promises of tax relief To the editor. Re: McGuinty Mistrust, editorial, Oct. 7, Kourier-Standard. I am writing to thank you for your very timely and accurate editorial comments in the Oct. 7 issue of the Kourier-Standard. I firmly believe that sharing the cost of governance is a sacred duty of every citizen living in a democratic and civilized society. It is moral and ethical duty of our elected leaders and representatives to be honest, accountable and fair in imposing and collecting various taxes from the people. Unfortunately, Premier McGuinty has neither been honest nor fair in his taxation policies and practices. His appetite for extracting more and more cash from the Ontario residents keeps on growing constantly and rapidly. LETTERS, SEE 7

LETTER

Councillors kowtow to developers To the editor. Re: Parks Going to the Dogs, Oct. 7, Kourier-Standard. Barry Reid (Parks Going to the Dogs) has it dead right. The issue of off-leash dogs is another example of how for the past several terms the City of Ottawa focuses on the grand visions of developers and not on those who pay taxes and live in the community. Those who live in Ottawa have the right to access space to run their dogs and kids have a right to play and adults have a right to walk in parks without some four-legged fur ball charging at them while the owner across the field screams at them like a lunatic to heel. The woeful record of city council in park development is there for all to see and experience. Parks never developed co-incident with housing projects, parkettes that pass for community green space and the development fees that mysteriously dissipate into general budgets for other purposes.

Take a look at the recent developments in Kanata and all you see is more housing crammed into the region, bordered by more strip malls, continuing the history since amalgamation of development triumphing the quality of life requirements of those who actually pay the taxes. The development of Lansdowne Park is just one more example of how public space owned by the taxpayers is given over to private development where taxpayers lose and developers win. The City of Ottawa has in the last terms since amalgamation, which took away the power of local governments in the region, reflected the wishes of development over quality of life and they are paying for it with the money that individual taxpayers contribute. When the real issues that deal with local matters of constituents come up against the grand vision of those who have control of Ottawa’s development, the outcome is always the same. Time perhaps to put a leash on development and the councillors who for the

CITY OF OTTAWA Did you know that working smoke alarms can cut your chances of dying in a fire by 50 per cent? In Ontario, having working smoke alarms is not only a good idea -- itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the law. Ottawa Fire Services recommends you install a smoke alarm on every level of your home, and outside your sleeping areas. Test your smoke alarms every month and change the batteries twice a year when you change your clocks. A working smoke alarm and a home fire escape plan will significantly increase your chances of surviving a fire.

After recent retirement, we sold our house to downsize and move into a rental accommodation. We had to pay 13 per cent HST on top of the commission paid to our real estate agent and the fee for the lawyer. It added up to a considerable sum of money. Considering that both the buyers and the sellers are paying such taxes, how can it be helpful in keeping the real estate markets healthy? Last month, we bought a new TV set and a cordless phone for use in our rental unit. We were charged eco-tax on both items. To make matters worse, the ecotax was added to the price of each item and then the HST charged on the combined amount. In other words, our provincial government is charging HST on eco-tax as well. Mr. McGuinty is now talking about providing â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;some reliefâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to the senior citizens from the ever increasing electricity bills. This statement is yet another hollow promise which in reality will have no significant net positive outcome as was the case in â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;health taxâ&#x20AC;?. During the next election we will definitely be joining those who will vote for Mr. McGuintyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s removal as Premier of Ontario. Husain Sadar Kanata Lakes

NEVIL HUNT KOURIER-STANDARD Ottawa Senators captain Daniel Alfredsson has goals for the teams new season, and he thinks the city of Ottawa should have a goal too. “We can be a leading community,” Alfredsson said of mental health programs and the acceptance of mental health issues in the city. Alfredsson was speaking at the unveiling of anew fundraiser for mental health; the Bell SENSational Ride & Glide. He made the announcement while seated on a stationary bike in the Sens gym following a practice on Oct. 7. “My sister has battled mental health issues,” the Sens captain said. “This is very important to me.” RIDE AND GLIDE, SEE 14

TYKES The Knights tykes were prepared to roast the Buccaneers, but when the smoke cleared, it was Kanata that got burnt by Brockville . The Buccaneers had two long drives; one to get to the KRC, and the other to break a 12-12 tie, eventually pulling ahead to win the game 24-12. The Knights defence held strong for the first three quarters. Eithan Hards, Christian Meliambro, Sebastien Vienneau, Gerome Choeung-Boateng and Kane Obas made the majority of the tackles as they stuffed the Bucs offensive line and running game.

RIDE AND GLIDE FROM 13

Jared Valentino came hungry as he hit hard on his four tackles and feasted on both a fumble recovery and an interception. Unfortunately missed tackles plagued the Knights defence in the fourth quarter. The Knights offence was led by Sutton Allard with 56 rushing yards for the day and two first downs. Connor Ogilvie matched the 56 yards on one play for a touchdown run and added a 25yard touchdown to tie the game. Simon Bricker and Shabach Kerr also helped move the chains. MOSQUITO The Buccanneers battled the Knights to win a 7 to 6 squeaker at the KRC. The Knights opened the game with a touchdown from Ashton Vanasse, his fourth in three games. Offensive teammates Carter Poulin, Ryan Miskelly, Duncan McDonald, Tristen Hubley, Michael Edgar, Alex Polataiko, Jacob Cuffley and Spencer Tanti kept up the heat and kept the ball moving. Fighting hard for the defence, Knights’ players Austin Cranney, Doug Mathieson, Jordan Porter, Alex Whibley, Josh Featherstone, Evan Wilson, and Gavin Goyette played hard and fought tough, making the Buccaneers work for every yard. PEEWEE The Myers Riders outplayed the bantam Knights, winning 39-8. Despite the score, fullback, Keenan Tanti, had a stellar game with numerous receptions, 45 rushing yards and he carried the ball for a two point conversion. KNIGHTS, SEE 15

Alfredsson has been the face of the You Know Who I Am campaign, partnered with the Royal Ottawa Foundation for Mental Health. The campaign aims to get people talking about mental health issues, and hopes to remove any stigma still associated with seeking help. Alfredsson said the campaign “has helped people get help,” and has also brought out many Ottawa residents – Sens fans or not – to help raise funds. Participants will raise funds by competing in a stationary bike and skating challenge at Scotiabank Place on Oct. 24. The first 60 riders who register and raise $500 will ride 30 minutes in the Senators team gym to accumulate as much distance as possible, The first 375 gliders who register and raise more than $150 will be invited to skate on the Sens home ice for an hour and will get to meet some of the players. There are also incentive prizes ranging from a VIP reception with Alfredsson, signed hockey gear and Senators game tickets. The Ride & Glide event will raise funds for the University Hospitals Kingston Foundation, Youth Services Bureau of Ottawa and the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre. nevil.hunt@metroland.com 420223

Who will you vote for?

Kanata Kourier-Standard - OCTOBER 14, 2010

20 Election Insider

Our city is changing…

Who will you vote for? On October 25, 2010, Ottawa will elect a new mayor and city council. This election is one of the most important and closely contested in recent history. With a wide slate of candidates and many important issues at stake, it is important to stay informed.

Group, publisher of 11 weekly community papers in the Ottawa area, has chosen to provide you with up-todate, comprehensive coverage in our papers and online of all of the candidates, the local issues and how they plan to tackle the issues.

Having so many choices can be daunting. For this election, we have been asked to choose from of a record number of potential candidates. The key is not to let the sheer multitude of choice keep you from voting. If you allow that to scare you off, you will be effectively turning over the keys to the city to people who may not share your opinions or the needs of your community.

All of the candidates who chose to participate are profiled in this issue in one complete, informative pullout section. We interviewed and met with all the mayoral candidates and asked council candidates to answer questions on some of the key issues in each ward. In this way, you can follow how each candidate stands on the key issues in their own words.

Thorough research and consideration should be given to all candidates and that is why Metroland Media

We hope that this election feature will help keep you informed and will encourage you to get out and vote on election day.

1) Who can vote? You can vote in the municipal election if you are: • a Canadian citizen • at least 18 years old • a resident of your respective municipality • a non-resident owner or tenant of land in your respective municipality, or their spouse • not prohibited from voting under any law

2) What should I take with me to vote? Your voter information card and acceptable pieces of identification, which include the following: • One piece of ID showing your name, address (where you currently live or own property) and signature or two pieces of ID — the first piece showing your name and signature and the second piece of ID showing your name and address. • If you do not have acceptable identification you will be asked to swear an oath before being issued a ballot. • Your voter information card cannot be used as identification

3) What offices will the City’s electors be voting for?

Which ward do you live in?

Cesar Bello A PhD in social anthropology, resident of Ottawa for more than 20 years, and owner/ director of Mundo en Espanol Newspaper in Ottawa, Bello says he’s running to stop crime and unnecessary spending. He vows to improve social services and create more jobs, to promote clean energy and recycling and improving - make affordable and reliable - the public transit, and to limit property tax increases to below the rate of annual inflation. Cesar Bello is not your everyday politician. Not only is he not afraid to change his stance on an issue if it means doing what residents want, but he doesn’t believe in belittling his mayoral candidate rivals. In fact, he doesn’t even believe he’s pitted against people in the race. “I am not in competition with anyone,” Bello said. “When you’re in competition, there’s fighting and nothing gets accomplished.” Bello was inspired to run for mayor after reading a column about the city-wide bus strike in February 2009. He filed his papers on April 16, citing a need for action. Bello vows to make transportation more affordable and an essential service in this city. “I saw a lot of pain in the residents,” he said, noting he would do a review to decide whether buses or light rail would be the transportation method of choice in the future. “There were people having to stay home and people losing their jobs.” Born in Peru, Bello has lived in Ottawa for 20 years and loves the city’s “friendly” nature. “This is our home and we have to work hard to keep it beautiful,” he said. “Whenever some asks where I’m from, I say ‘This is home.’ I love Ottawa.”But there are parts of the city Bello knows that need some improvements. The 47-year-old said taxes have risen at an alarming rate recently. Though he knows freezing tariffs are not possible, he said the increase should be more in line with inflation rate. “No more money taken from Joe taxpayer’s pockets,” he said. “Poverty in our city is an issue, but it never was before. How come? We’re in Canada.” With a PhD in social anthropology, Bello understands negotiation and said he’s able to work effectively both by himself and in a team. “It’s not one person’s work, but everyone’s,” he said. “Together we can make things work.” He said finishing the work he sets out to do, instead of fighting, is paramount to gaining the residents’ trust and respect. Doing so will create a vibrant community filled with richness and prosperity, he added. “I do what my people want me to do. My commitment is to the people.”

• The Mayor is elected at large by all electors. • Councillors are elected by the eligible voters of each ward – one Councillor for each of Ottawa’s 23 wards. • School Board Trustees are elected by zones, which comprise one or more City wards. The board you are entitled to vote for is determined by your school support status, as shown on the voters’ list.

See www.ottawa.ca for more voting information.

Idris Ben Tahir Idris Ben-Tahir, 71, has a B.A. from the University of Ottawa and retired from the Royal Canadian Air Force in 2004. He ran for the Conservative federal nomination in Ottawa Centre and ran in the Somerset ward in 2006. He retired in 2004, but is back and ready to make this city better. Idris Ben-Tahir wants to make changes in the way Ottawa is governed. Born in India, the 71-year-old decided to run for mayor on Sept. 10 – the last day of registration. Ben-Tahir said he had been thinking about it for a while “but wanted to study the matter thoroughly.” “I’ve wanted to make a difference in the way Ottawa has been run for a long time,” he said, adding the current has a myopic vision. “The city has been using Ottawans as tax producers for their trove without contributing to the welfare of both the city and its denizens.” As someone who had served with the RCAF Primary Reverse since moving to Ottawa in 1960, Ben-Tahir has lived in around the downtown core ever since – save for a year in Cold Lake, Alta. where he worked editing the engineering performance reports as part of the air weapons range. As a result, Ben-Tahir said he is running for “neglected Ottawans” in the rural areas of the city who have let down by the city since amalgamation. Ben-Tahir’s top priority is to build a bypass south of the highway 417. But that doesn’t mean he’s forgotten about public transportation. The candidate doesn’t think Ottawa has an acceptable transit system for a G8 capital, especially since Toronto and Montreal have more efficient methods. “Nothing is connected in this city,” Ben-Tahir said. “You arrive at the bus station or the airport and you have to take a taxi. Why do we make life difficult for people?” Ben-Tahir wants to have a light-rail line from Kanata to Orleans, branching from Hazeldean to the airport with stops in Riverside South and Barrhaven. “Then there should be buses in places light rail cannot go,” he said. Many feel that light rail is too expensive, but Ben-Tahir said it’s irrelevant when it comes to future impacts.“The cost is not the problem,” he said. “Once you build it, the economic benefits will be huge.” The monarchist lists former prime minister John Diefenbaker – whom he met in the late 1960s – as one of his biggest mentors.“I think it’s about time somebody does something to help this city,” he said. “I’m coming out of retirement just to help the citizens of our national capital.”

Clive Doucet

Robert Furtenbacher

BIO: Clive Doucet has held the Capital Ward council seat for 11 years. He began his career at the Federal Ministry of Urban Affairs, then worked on local government reform at the Ontario Municipal Affairs Ministry. He is married with two children and three grandchildren.

BIO: Joseph Furtenbacher, 50, has been living in Ottawa for the past 16 years. Self-taught in economics, foreign exchange and philosophy, he is a former band player and lives on a provincial disability plan.

Trailing by a significant margin in the polls, Clive Doucet knows he faces an uphill struggle in the remaining days of the mayoral race, but he insists quiet support is building and his platform is working.“I think people are going to be surprised when the vote comes on Oct. 25,” he said. “People behind the scenes are very, very supportive.” Few will state publicly their support because he is battling large corporations that small business people need to work with, he said, adding that doesn’t accept donations from developers.

Mayoral candidate Joseph Furtenbacher said he decided to run because the city is in dire need of an overhaul.

Doucet, in municipal politics since 1997, points to support for his small business and farms plank, to urban and suburban commuters for his transportation ideas, and to youth interested in his plan to reform spending effectively and reform governance. The son of an Acadian father and English war bride, the 64-year-old Doucet has long wrestled with Canada’s two solitudes identity. It appears here and there in his 15 books, and in his politics where he often champions the underdog while offering what he sees as practical solutions. When it comes to small business and farmers, Doucet offers to focus money and talent on the burgeoning green economy and improve food distribution facilities.“I’ve been working with small business and farmers for a long time now,” he said. “When I was first elected we didn’t have a single farmers’ market. We now have one in every neighbourhood.” A new transit system has to come now, said Doucet, not in 10 or 20 years. He champions a surface light rail transit, calling it affordable, efficient, reliable and economically sensible. As mayor, he vows to: start an eastwest rail corridor along Carling Avenue, extend the north-south O-Train to the airport, use Laurier Avenue for light rail, build light rail east to Blair Road and delay the planned tunnel.

“Everyone else is doing everything wrong,” said the 50-year-old. “They’re pulling ideas out of a hat.” Selftaught in economics, foreign exchange and philosophy, Furtenbacher said the city needs a progressive tax reform. He said he wants to see good zones and bad zones and tax each accordingly. Bad zones, like gas stations, would be taxed more heavily than good zones. Furtenbacher said he also wants to see city council take a pay cut. “I have philosophical reasons for working for (less money).” He said he would accept around $40,000 and the rest would be spent for city projects. “If everyone who works for this city paid ourselves less, there would be more money for projects,” said Furtenbacher. Furtenbacher said he wants to see above-ground rapid transit, similar to the GO train in Toronto with feeder buses to alleviate traffic congestion. “I’d start with an east-west line and add more as it goes,” he said. He would have connecting loops around the major areas in the city, including Kanata, Barrhaven, Orleans and Centretown. Much of the line would use existing tracks. “I like to have a rationale behind it,” said Furtenbacher. “There’s no rationale to going underground.” He also wants to see the current Lansdowne project scrapped in favour of more green space. “I would get rid of the pavement,” he said. “I would keep the historical and outlying buildings.” He said he wants to put a stop to council selling public land to developers. “There’s been too many bad decisions,” he said. He said the city’s bicycle bylaws need to be changed because biking in the city isn’t safe. “The only reason I haven’t been hit is because I break the rules.”

Doucet doesn’t believe in offering a catch phrase like “zero means zero” or a promise to reach 2.5 per cent tax increases. His pledge is to spend revenue more effectively, find savings – such as cancelling the Lansdowne deal – that will offset the need for high tax increases. Both the tunnel and Lansdowne will cost taxpayers dearly, he said.

He said bikes should be allowed to use the sidewalks, especially when needing to make a left-hand turn.He said drivers don’t pay enough attention to cyclists and it can be a gamble sitting on a bike in the left turn lane.

“Instead of looking at the tax cut, try and look at where your government is spending its money,” he said.

Furtenbacher said he wants people to vote for him based on his philosophy, not how he looks.

Immanuel House - An Investment for the Future Dr. Lloyd Van Wyck is a plastic surgeon and father of three university students. His investments include ﬁxed income, equities and real estate. “I think you have to be in all vehicles to feel comfortable,” says the 58-year-old. “I don’t like jumping in to something without knowing everything. I met with representatives of Immanuel House three or four times before I bought in April 2010. I’d say, ‘explain that again.’ And they would. I bought a full unit. “Buying something that’s not built yet seems a little riskier. But I know Hyde Park has a good track record,” says Dr. Van Wyck. Immanuel House ﬁts with Dr. Khulbe’s philosophy of giving Income property investor and back to the community, Ottawa Plastic Surgeon Dr. Lloyd Van Wyck she says, a philosophy drummed into her by her parents, who immigrated from India. “I might even want to be more involved,” she enthuses. “Who knows?

Dr. Suman Khulbe is a financial participant in the Immanuel House retirement residence not only because she feels confident it’s a good investment, but because she’s convinced it’s the way of the future for retirement living. Dr. Khulbe runs an anti-aging and sports medicine practice, as well as a medical spa. “I believe the way to a healthy retirement is through active living,” she says. “Immanuel House is designed for that kind of lifestyle.” When it’s finished, Immanuel House will provide 105 rental suites and 35 retirement apartments in the village of Richmond’s Hyde Park seniors development. The residence will offer affordable housing for seniors in an all-in-one community with a pool, fitness and health care facility, dining room, hobby room, theatre, entertainment and housekeeping. Shopping and banks are nearby. Suites will be fitted with SMART (Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology) equipment that includes water overflow sensors, emergency response, nonmotion detectors and state-of-the-art telemedicine system that lets medical professionals monitor and advise residents right in their homes. Dr. Khulbe was impressed with the time and effort Immanuel House principals took to answer her questions. Purchase arrangements are flexible: She bought a full unit in Immanuel House, but she could have opted for anywhere from one to 12 fractions of that unit. She’s secure in the knowledge she’s helping to create a healthy retirement environment for the seniors who choose to live in Immanuel House, while holding a good investment. Here’s how it works: Immanuel House’s developer, Hyde Park, registers a private mortgage. Participants lend money into it. Their loan is secured against the property and the project. Even if the project did not proceed, participants would hold the mortgage to a valuable asset. Since she invested in November 2009, the 37-year-old Dr. Khulbe has been receiving interest of up to 12 per cent a year, paid monthly. When Immanuel House is 85 per cent filled, suite owners like Dr. Khulbe will share in the income generated from renters and community use of the recreation centre. Suites will be rented to seniors at rates below what they’d find in many other communities that offer such high-end services. The apartments wing will even have its own entrance to give everyone a sense of independence.

Robert Gauthier

Andrew Haydon

Bio: Robert Gauthier is a long-time Parkwood Hills resident who now lives downtown. He is a 73-year-old widower with three children and two grandchildren. He is retired from a career that has included construction, engineering and sales. Gauthier now works part-time in a fast-food restaurant to supplement his retirement income.

BIO: Andy Haydon is the former mayor of Nepean and also served as chair of the regional municipality of Ottawa-Carleton. Haydon, 76 and his wife, Sherry live in Barrhaven. He has two sons and two daughters, and two friendly dogs.

The little guy has a friend in Robert Gauthier. The 73-year-old is in the mayor’s race because he believes the electoral process is unfair to anyone who’s not considered a front-runner. “We have to change the process because candidates are not being heard,” Gauthier said. “Give people an opportunity to evaluate the 20 candidates. It shouldn’t be a rich citizen’s race or an influential citizen’s race.” In that vein, Gauthier said he has already filed a statement of claim against organizers of an Oct. 5 mayoral debate at the National Arts Centre – to which only Jim Watson, Larry O’Brien, Clive Doucet and Andrew Haydon were invited. “It’s really an impediment to the proper function of democracy in Canada,” Gauthier said, taking the opportunity to state his campaign slogan: “Democracy means choices.” He said he’s seeking “the fast-food vote,” by which he means the average worker. “The people who make minimum wage aren’t represented,” he said. Gauthier arrived at an interview still wearing his uniform from a shift at a fast-food restaurant, and was proud to do so, insisting on pinning on his name tag for a photo. “The bottom line of a balance sheet isn’t money, it’s people,” he said. “There are lots of people out there who make minimum wage and those people want a community that respects the people rather than the influential.” Some of Gauthier’s priorities include a freeze on bus fares and better maintenance of existing infrastructure. “Broken buses are number one,” he said. “I’ve worked in transportation and I know rolling stock, and you have to maintain them better. (The city) buys expensive buses and then they don’t maintain the roads. The priority should be what you buy and what you build.”

Trains or buses? It’s Ottawa’s $2.1-billion question. It’s the elephant in the room. But no one seems to be taking expansion of our bus system seriously, with mayoral frontrunners Jim Watson and Larry O’Brien on record supporting light rail. Former Nepean mayor and regional chair Andy Haydon wants to change that. He wants to get people talking about buses because the cost of expanding the existing system is much lower than scrapping chunks of the Transitway in favour of rail. Haydon does agree with rail-backers on one count: the need for a downtown tunnel to ease congestion on city streets above. But he said that tunnel could just as easily carry buses, and exhaust won’t be an issue with electric-hybrid buses that can switch to battery power as they pass below the city’s core. “For the last 100 years, trains have remained unchanged,” Haydon said. “Bus technology is advancing all the time.” He sees buses running along our existing Transitway, zipping through a tunnel as efficiently as any train, and popping out the other end to complete the cross-Ottawa trip without need for transfers. And if you only need a tunnel – without rails – the city could have a budget surplus on its hands. Haydon said his goal will always be the highest ridership at the lowest cost, and he believes light rail misses the mark. He knows he’s up against a proposed rail system that tugs at voters’ emotions. He says rail is “sexy.” But maybe voters can come around if they can bear to look at Haydon’s very unsexy numbers. He estimates the city’s taxpayers will be on the hook for $13,600 per household when it comes time to pay the light rail bill. And those costs may go up because the provincial and federal governments have capped their commitment to this city’s transit system, making any cost overruns the responsibility of city council.

Still on the issue of buses, Gauthier said that if he serves as mayor, there won’t be any bus strikes. “I think it’s better to work with labour and I support labour,” he said. “That doesn’t mean I’m antimanagement, but you collaborate.” Gauthier is also interested in ways to reduce crime. He said 90 per cent of crimes can be traced back to a small number of people, and the best way to handle the perpetrators is to educate them.

“If they debenture it (borrow the funds) you can double it,” he said. “If you want to pay that, then you deserve to have light rail.” Instead, he sees buses running along our existing Transitway, zipping through a tunnel as efficiently as any train, and popping out the other end to complete the cross-Ottawa trip without need for transfers. And if you only need a tunnel – without rails – the city could have a budget surplus on its hands.

Robin Lawrance

Fraser Liscumb

BIO: Robin Lawrance, 56 years old, emigrated to Canada from Scotland. Lawrence said he served 10 years with the Canadian Forces and has been involved in politics since the 1980s.

BIO: Fraser Liscumb, 62, has lived in the St. George’s area of the west end for the past 22 years. He has worked as a janitor at Carleton University while serving as a full time “Mr. Mom” as he believes that family comes first. Fraser Liscumb views himself as a troubleshooter, a fixer, a visionary.

Mayoral candidate Robin Lawrance said those elected to city council need to start paying attention to the taxpayers – and letting the next mayor do the job properly. “If you’re going to be the boss, they (the councillors) have to let him be the boss,” said the 56-year-old. “But the mayor also needs to listen to the taxpayers.” He said there is too much talking within council, without any action. “I’m not going to say I’m going to; I will,” said Lawrance. “You know the problem with this city? Too much talking and not enough doing. I see there is a great need for someone at the helm who’s going to care.” He said the idea of underground transit is absurd in a city that is prone to earthquakes. “It’s stupid to go underground when we have rail tracks,” said Lawrance, who estimated it would cost around $8 million to clean and convert the tracks. “Ain’t it a better deal than digging underground?” Lawrance, who said he served with the Canadian Forces for 10 years before being honourably discharged after being hit in the back of the neck, which caused his vision loss, wants to see taxes frozen.

That is why he is running to be mayor of the city of Ottawa in the upcoming municipal election. He wants to use his ability to solve problems and come up with solutions to remedy what’s wrong at city hall. And he will do this all, he says, by working with people and communities.“I always believe the community is only as good as the network you have helping each other,” he says. He believes that people should try to make a difference in life and that’s what he wants to do as mayor, especially since he feels he understands the plight of ordinary individuals who right now are hurting and need solutions, not problems, coming from city hall. He promises to get people involved. “I have the skills, the tools, the imagination to get them involved,” Mr. Liscumb says. Indeed, this is why he is running to be mayor as he does not believe his own children will be able to live in their hometown if things keep going the way they have been going. “I don’t sit back if a see a problem, I make a suggestion,” he says. He says that he never gets involved in things unless it is to make a difference and that if he does get involved, he does end up making a difference.

“Why don’t we freeze them for a little while, then put it up for what we need and not for profit,” he said. “Do you know what the problem is with this city? They’ve forgotten about the people. At the end of the day it comes back to this, their pocket book.”

Liscumb is making only one promise when he becomes mayor. He promises that he will not make decisions alone but will do everything with community input.

He said taxes are being spent on projects the city doesn’t need. “I want to see the taxes being properly spent in this city. Not on silly projects.”

He also believes that people want change at city hall.“If they want change, I will give them such good change that no one will ever go back,” Mr. Liscumb says. This will be done by working with others and the community, he pledges.

Lawrance said he considers Lansdowne one of those projects.“If I go in as mayor, I will tear up the Lansdowne project. There is nothing for kids, nothing for teens, young people or seniors.”

He is an advocate of having a 21st century transit system as he says a city cannot compete in today’s global economy without such a system as it indicates to the world that the city is progressive. He advocates an electromagnetic rail system that would run alongside roads, carrying passengers in pods.

He said he would turn it into a historical park instead, with rides and attractions that offer historical background information.“Like a little Disney World,” he said. “Tourists would flock here. That’s using your imagination.”

Mr. Liscumb is an advocate for paying city staff at least a living wage plus ten per cent. He says that his own household has had to scrimp to get by at times and so he understands the need to pay decent wages.

Mike Maguire

Larry O’Brien

BIO: Married with two daughters, Mike Maguire is a long time resident and community volunteer in Ottawa. Mike has also spent years working on numerous political campaigns at all levels of government.

BIO: Mayor O’Brien was born in Ottawa and graduated from the Algonquin School of Technology in 1972 with a diploma in Technology. He founded Calian in 1982 as a one-person consulting company and built it into an internationally competitive technology firm.

Mike Maguire is taking a two-pronged approach with his mayoral platform: improving transportation and lowering taxes. The self-employed analyst wants to create a rail system that’s similar to the Toronto area’s GO Train, with four separate lines across the city. He said his idea is cheaper because there is no service rail, it doesn’t contain a tunnel and it uses existing rail track in places like the Strandherd train station. The Kars resident added that any tunnel and light-rail plan that’s been proposed would bear a 16 per cent increase on taxpayers, especially given the expenses associated with maintenance and operations. “Let’s hear Mr. Watson and Mr. O’Brien address that,” Maguire said. “You might as well say it should be serviced by unicorns. It’s not possible.” Maguire analyzed the previous north-south light-rail proposal and recommended its cancellation in 2006. However he said the current other big-name candidates have “tunnel vision” and are not thinking about the effect the new system would have on the taxpayer. For instance, in rural areas like West-Carleton and Osgoode, Maguire said people would have to $460 per year compared to just $15 under any proposed transportation method. Small businesses would see a greater increase. Self-described as a “back-room guy for 20 years,” Maguire worked on Mayor Larry O’Brien’s campaign in 2006. The 49-year-old said he decided to run because he became “disenchanted with the last four years,” particularly with O’Brien’s failed promise of not raising taxes. “If he lost and I beat him, that would be provocative stuff,” Maguire said. “If he loses decisively, that’s a referendum on the decisions he has made over the last four years.” The two other top concerns for Maguire surround Lansdowne and language fairness. He said revamping Lansdowne on the taxpayers’ dime is an unbelievably risky idea, given the examples of SkyDome in Toronto and Olympic Stadium in Montreal, and should be a low priority because of taxes. Maguire doesn’t want Ottawa to be classified as bilingual. He would use the savings to help promote services in other languages like Chinese, Hindu, Arabic, and Somali, which he said are more popular in the city.

Larry O’Brien said he’s learned a lot during his past four years as mayor – what works and what doesn’t at city hall, and what he has to fix. The incumbent said he will start by revisiting council’s decision to reject city staff’s recommendation to expand the urban boundary by 850 hectares, approving only an additional 230 hectares. Developers immediately appealed the decision at the Ontario Municipal Board. Council made a mistake that taxpayers will pay for fighting a losing battle at the OMB, said O’Brien. “Let’s get ourselves out of the legal mess we’ve put ourselves into,” he said. “The first thing I’m going to do (if re-elected) is move to accept staff … recommendations of urban boundary expansion.” Next on the agenda is city governance, said O’Brien, who is considering creating three new committees aligned by geography: urban, rural and suburban, offering the idea as an alternative to a borough system. O’Brien wants to remodel the budget-making process to allow the mayor to present the budget instead of city staff, which can later be debated and changed by council. The incumbent said he still wants to hold the line on tax increases, but that he’ll need the support of council. “I’ll need to have a group of like-minded councillors on the financial side only,” said O’Brien, adding that he opposes political parties in municipal politics. A list will be released identifying candidates who support O’Brien’s ideas of fiscal responsibility, said the incumbent. Part of his proposed spending controls includes a plan to “freeze the city’s wage envelope,” he said. O’Brien said he’s “prepared to reduce services and cut staff” if the unions representing city staff aren’t prepared to negotiate wage controls. He also wants to create an independent transit commission to oversee OC Transpo and debate the future of the infrastructure renewal fund. O’Brien said he’s proud of council’s accomplishment’s which include approving an east-west light rail project, a renovated Lansdowne Park and cleaning up the Ottawa River.

Michael St. Arnaud

Jane Scharf

BIO: Michael St. Arnaud is a 62-year-old retired draftsman who has lived in Nepean over the past decade. He holds a diploma in retail management from Algonquin College and has also studied in the police foundation program, the private and public investigation program and a law clerk course.

BIO: Jane Scharf has a legal and social work background. Her primary interest is humane, rational and fair social policy. She has been a political activist for a number of years with many successful battles with city hall under her belt including the Homeless Action Strikes.

Ottawa needs a mayor who is going to speak up for the city’s most vulnerable citizens, said Michael St. Arnaud, a 62-year-old retired draftsman.

Jane Scharf is not just a one-issue candidate. “A lot of people say my only issue is homelessness, actually I think the city is making great strides in that area,” Scharf said. “But there is still a lot that we need to work on.”

Someone has to speak up for isolated seniors, people with disabilities and tenants seeking good housing in the city of Ottawa, he said.

Scharf said city hall needs someone like her, who is ready to challenge the status quo. She wants to make sure that Ottawa is an inclusive city. “I will achieve this, not by running the city as a business which leaves vulnerable people out,” she said. “The business approach does not save money because the social fallout costs such as mental health costs, as well as the cost of policing and jailing the destitute is staggering. A well-run community is fiscally responsible and it does so without leaving anyone out. A community tries to make fair and reasonable decisions for all of us including the sick, weak and vulnerable.”

St. Arnaud declared himself a candidate for Ottawa’s 2010 mayoral election after looking at the slate of candidates. “I don’t think anybody’s advocating for the people of Ottawa,” said St. Arnaud. St. Arnaud said he has a history of sticking up for the little guy, as a volunteer at the Shepherds of Good Hope and helping low-income residents as a member of West End Legal Services and ACORN Canada (the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now), an organization of low and middle-income families that advocates for affordable housing, tenant rights and on other social issues.

Scharf would like city council to start a discussion in three areas: accountability, tax reform and the institution of a food security committee. She also said she believes a lot more done if the local politicians would spend more time on policy decisions and less time networking.

St. Arnaud, who has rented an apartment and a house in Nepean over the past two decades, studied the Landlord Tenant Act at Algonquin College, where he took a law clerk course. “That’s one of the reasons I’m going into the arena (of politics), to promote the idea that landlords should be licensed,” said St. Arnaud.

“As a mayor I will not participate in any community events during office hours,” she said. “Community events I will attend after hours as a regular citizen.”

St. Arnaud said he’d like to see OC Transpo provide improved and more compassionate service for its ridership. More bike racks on buses would be a nice start, he said. Drivers and bus inspectors shouldn’t be so quick to ticket people who hop on the bus without paying, he added, suggesting that they allow a day’s leeway to purchase the fare.

She also believes in the creation of a police policy committee made up of a broad-based membership that will consult the public on desired policing issues.

Another hot-button issue facing candidates is taxes. St. Arnaud said he couldn’t see how council could offer a tax freeze and that it must balance any increase with the needs and wants of the citizens of Ottawa.

Her next move under the umbrella of accountability would be the creation of an inspector general’s office. The function of the office would be to conduct independent investigations and audits. “The Children’s Aid Society and school boards (have similar offices) to detect and deter waste, fraud, abuse, and misconduct, and to promote integrity, economy, efficiency, and effectiveness in all these operations,” Scharf said.

The retired Nepean man said he had a host of ideas aimed at helping low-income residents: - Encourage cycling in Ottawa. St. Arnaud said he’d like council to look at a free bicycling system used in France that provides free bikes for people to travel within the cities. - Create a support group for isolated seniors that runs like Meals on Wheels.

On the issue of tax reform, Scharf said the candidates should not promise arbitrary property tax increases, but advocate the federal and provincial governments for the proper funding to maintain our programs and services. “My complaint is that this municipal tax crisis is caused by federal and provincial downloading which forces the city to raise taxes to offset the shortfall from the transfer payments or lose the program or service,” she said.

Charlie Taylor

Jim Watson

Charlie Taylor calls himself a breath of fresh air. He has set about a grassroots campaign since February, trying to make himself heard in the increasing number of voices seeking Ottawa’s top spot.

This election campaign is “T” time for city of Ottawa mayoralty candidate Jim Watson. No, it doesn’t mean a tee time for golfing, although the campaign has not been without its times when candidates, especially Mr. Watson and his chief rival, incumbent mayor Larry O’Brien, have teed off on each other with various criticisms.

BIO: Jim Watson stepped down this year as Ontario’s Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing and MPP for Ottawa West-Nepean to run to become mayor of the city of Ottawa. Mr. Watson was a councillor with the preamalgamation city of Ottawa as well as its mayor.

BIO: Working in journalism, Charlie Taylor (currently completing his Bachelor of Journalism degree at Carleton) has a vehicle to learn about and express his views for helping lead positive social change. Being mayor also would provide opportunities for Charlie to promote change for residents of the City of Ottawa.

“The more candidates there are, the less likely the serious candidates will be heard,” Taylor said, adding that major media outlets only tend to focus on the three or four top runners. “I feel like if I had equal media coverage, I would have a really good chance,” he said.

And it doesn’t mean tea time, that traditional brew, although Watson, a former provincial cabinet minister, is legendary for his ability to schmooze with the best of them, whether it be over a cup of tea or a church supper or just on the street.

Taylor ran for mayor because he didn’t feel there would be a candidate that represented his views. He describes his political bent as similar to those of the Green Party, but he stresses the fact that he’s just an average Joe. “I have worked a number of jobs and traveled to 45 countries on five continents,” he said. “Chances are I know what it is like to be you — I have been a bartender, a waiter and now I am a student. I can represent you better than a career politician or a successful businessman.”

But “T” time does stand for the three themes in his mayoralty campaign – taxes, transit and trust. On municipal taxes, Watson is quite clear – annual increases of no more than 2.5 percent. He views this as a “realistic and affordable” proposal that will allow the city to manage without gutting important community services. He predicts city residents will not be hoodwinked with a promise of zero tax increases as happened in the last municipal election, followed by four years where taxes went up a collective 14 ½ per cent.

The 33-year-old Carleton journalism student can speak six languages and has close ties to Ottawa — where he was born and raised.

On transit, he is committed to proceeding with the proposed east/west light rail plan with a downtown tunnel. “Let’s not flip flop again,” he said in reference to the cancellation of a light rail plan to serve the south end of the city after the last municipal election. He pledges to keep the new light rail plan on time and on budget and has proposed the appointment of a private sector board of management to oversee the project to ensure this.

Taylor’s buzz word is sustainability — be it for the environment or for taxes—he wants to find a way that our municipal government can manage growth and provide services in a fiscally-responsible, sustainable way. “The elephant in the room is that over half of the city’s annual $2.2-billion budget goes to compensation,” Taylor said. “Salaries have risen 550 per cent since amalgamation — an increase that is out of proportion with inflation.”

“We can’t do everything at once,” Watson said, in response to criticism that the light rail plan does not serve the south end of the city nor the far east and west suburbs. He says that the light rail system has to be built from the centre of the city out and promises to work to get more funding from other levels of government in order to quicken the time frame to serve these left-out areas.

Taylor said he if he is elected mayor he is willing to take a 50 per cent pay cut. He added that it’s possible to cut administration position through attrition, so no one has to be laid off. The other big issue for Taylor is transit. “Our transit is the most expensive in Canada,” he said. “Prices were raised in March in order to meet the arbitrary goal of having 50 per cent of the cost covered by riders and 50 per cent covered by taxes.” Taylor calls this goal reasonable but says increasing fares may be a disincentive to riders. He also believes there are ways to make transit more efficient and less costly. “I want to make a greener, happier, healthier, wealthier city,” he said.

Trust is the third theme in Watson’s campaign, leading to what he calls his integrity package. This includes appointment of an integrity commissioner, registration of lobbyists and posting online the expenses of all elected officials. “This would set the gold standard for ethics in municipal government,” Watson said.

Marianne’s Commitments include: • To inform and work with the community on local and city wide issues • To ensure needed infrastructure and facilities are provided • To improve transit • To protect environmentally sensitive lands • To implement the City’s Economic Strategy • To support additional child care facilities • To develop a vibrant Town Centre in Kanata • To respond to your ongoing needs “...

1. No, Kanata North has some of the most environmentally sensitive and historically significant land in all of Eastern Ontario and these areas need to be protected.

3. I do not think that there is a single issue that is most important in Kanata North. I believe that there are several issues that rate equally. Taxes, preserving our natural environment, employment, transportation and the closing of the Carp land fill site.

1. New developments should not be approved until infrastructure is available or can be put in place to cope with it. City staff must develop a viable plan for the development of Ottawa and this plan must be followed - The city must plan development for the benefit of all residents and not allow development that profits a few to drive the plan. The South March Highlands situation demonstrates that urban sprawl is a major issue in Kanata North. 2. Taxes are too high in Ottawa - studies have shown that Ottawa has the third highest municipal taxes in Canada. There is no reason that over the long-term taxes in Ottawa should be higher than the national average for comparable municipalities. As a first step I propose that the salaries and allowances of councillors be reduced by 25 per cent, that the number of councillors be reduced to 16 and that a freeze be put on all travel by councillors outside of Ottawa paid for by the city. These measures would remain in effect until Ottawa taxes were no higher than the Canadian average. 3.

As councillor, how will you ensure the city’s infrastructure can keep up with the demands of new developments in and near Kanata South? What is your position on taxation? How will you reduce or eliminate a tax increase without cutting city services? What do you think is the most important election issue in Kanata South and what do you propose to do about that issue?

She is bilingual and works as sales and services associate at the YMCA. Weemen does not believe that city hall should be run by land developers and has never received any donation from them. 1. No. I will make sure that land developers do not build on valuable natural environmental land. Whenever environmentally sensitive land is due to be rezoned for development, I will meet with all the neighbourhood associations in Kanata to determine which land is not to be developed and kept as protected heritage parkland, before it is too late. If elected, I will halt the cutting of trees immediately and try to salvage as much of South March Highlands if ever possible. I would also introduce a levy on environmentally sensitive land.

I will trim the fat by having a tighter auditing system to plug the money leakage and eliminate unnecessary studies and consultancy fees. I will stretch the replacement of assets by another six months to a year, wherever possible; and introduce a casual part-time workers pool Instead of layoffs, we could introduce job sharing for those who would like to work fewer days.

Ensuring infrastructure can handle new development is crucial to prevent situations like the flooding in Glen Cairn. We cannot afford to continue to bow to the developer’s every wish, but instead we must work with them as partners. In addition to stronger regulation and oversight, we need greater and more robust urban planning, which includes proper infrastructure and sufficient access to city services. We can not develop without the necessary infrastructure in place. 2. I believe that we need to strike the proper balance between taxes and spending on city services and infrastructure. I won’t promise a tax freeze nor would I promise to increase spending. It is about identifying our priorities and ensuring we spend appropriately. This includes cutting back on consultants, eliminating waste and duplication, and proper planning so we avoid paying outrageous settlements on cancelled projects.

We already know that delaying the maintenance on existing infrastructure results in – traffic congestion, flooding and power failures. I will not make the same mistakes made by previous councillors. I will ensure no new development is approved before the required infrastructure is in place and that includes the hydro service.

Control Factor: It is all about holding city managers accountable because nothing will change from a lack of due diligence and incompetence. Fiscal change comes from reducing wasted tax dollars as well as controlling spending. Then again, if staff is not held accountable, it will be same old grind, no money.

Over the last six years debt has been rising but especially by mid-2011, the city net debt will be $1.2 billion resulting in a colossal negative impact on sustainability.

MAKE INFORMED DECISIONS

So you think you can mayor JENNIFER MCINTOSH KOURIER-STANDARD Things got off to a shaky start at the mayoral debate held by the Coalition to Move Ottawa Forward at the Bronson Centre on Oct. 6 after mayoral candidate Jane Scharf crashed the party. “I went and wasn’t included in the debate so I crashed it and was removed by police,” Scharf said on her Facebook page the next morning. Some of the audience was disappointed to see her leave, chanting, “We want to hear what Jane has to say.” The So You Think You Can Mayor debate continued though, with Jim Watson, Mike Maguire, Clive Doucet and Charlie Taylor arguing over how to best handle the complex issues of social housing, child care, transit, seniors care and access to recreation. “The biggest problem is we need to create a lobby of Ontario mayors to ask the premier for the funding to be able to tackle these kinds of problems,” Clive Doucet said. “But that will take a different kind of thinking and a different kind of mayor.” On the issue of transit, there was a consensus that something needed to be done, but no one could come to an agreement about the best and most efficient way. Watson said initiatives like the seniors pass, the veterans pass and the U-Pass were ways to keep fares down. “I think the big problem is that there is such a poisonous environment,” he said. “The 54-day bus strike really hurt everyone. The current mayor bungled it from the start

and when he first announced his campaign he said he wouldn’t have done anything differently. I don’t think we can take that chance again.” Taylor said that he doesn’t see how forcing university students to purchase a bus pass even if they don’t take the bus will help increase ridership. “We need to think differently,” he said. “And start creating communities where you live, work and play. I think we should look at zoning vertically instead of horizontally, then you could have living space on top, office space in the middle and commercial space on the bottom—there is something to be said for having your commute be an elevator ride.” Maguire said he would like to see an extension of the city’s rail system, mimicking Toronto’s GO Train. Doucet said we needed to get moving on light rail as it would operate at a fraction of the costs for the current bus system. On the issue of affordable housing, candidates were asked if they would commit to spending $15 million of the uploaded from the province every year on new housing units. Watson said he would and said he was the only candidate with a costed affordable housing plan. “I am proud to say I did some things in my former ministry that has worked to solve the problem of homelessness,” he said, citing examples like the new housing units on Merivale Road where the province partnered with the city and Shepherd’s of Good Hope.

3. The city has a spending problem that needs to be fixed ASAP.

Doucet said he would gladly commit the money, but the upload funds were just a drop in bucket for all the repairs needed due to 10 years of insufficient funding. Taylor and Maguire agreed that they couldn’t commit to spending the money. “It’s not new money,” Maguire said. “It still comes from the taxpayer.” Taylor said he wouldn’t spend a dime without a proper plan in place to improve

We cannot afford to continue paying property taxes that increase three to five per cent every year. I want to work with seniors, families and youth in our communities to decide what services we need and the city should be providing. These core services will be reviewed to ensure they are being run efficiently and effectively. All other services should be reviewed, and some may be eliminated or just modified in order to minimize our tax burden. I am committed to fixing our spending problem and ensuring we get real value for our taxes.

Our city is changing…

Who will you vote for? Q – Why should I vote? A – By voting for a candidate for the office of Mayor and Councillor, you are helping to set the future direction of the City of Ottawa. The City provides the day-to-day services you count on, from fire and police services, to clean water and parks, to transit and public libraries. City Council decides how your property tax dollars are spent and establishes the level and range of municipal services available in your community. Voting for your School Board Trustee is also important. Trustees develop and implement recommendations for educational programs, budgets, facilities and property issues, and policies and procedures that govern their Board’s operation.

access to affordable housing. “It’s useless to throw money at a problem without a solution,” he said. The audience felt like they really got a chance to see what the candidates were about. “I have never heard Clive (Doucet) speak before,” Therry Lalonde, a resident of Kanata, said. “I was surprised by some of his ideas.”

Ottawa Fire Services recommends you install a smoke alarm on every level of your home, and outside your sleeping areas. Test your smoke alarms every month and change the batteries twice a year when you change your clocks. A working smoke alarm and a home fire escape plan will significantly increase your chances of surviving a fire.

Now 49, Seabright-Moore teaches private voice lessons and has been participating in theatre since she was five. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always had an affinity to the comedic roles,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always much more fun to play the villain; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun to get the audience to hate you. I know if I get booed Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done my job.â&#x20AC;? Cullain, who teaches a variety of dance, said she likes to study the accents of her characters and go from there. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(As Lily) I have to pretty much act like an air-head,â&#x20AC;? said the 34-year-old who lives in the Kanata Fairwinds development. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have to act like I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a clue whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on most of the time. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a pretty greedy character too.â&#x20AC;? Glen Cairn native Gervais said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always wanted to play Rooster and was grateful when he got the part. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For me I really wanted to get myself out there and start

getting some lead roles,â&#x20AC;? said the 19-year-old graduate of A.Y. Jackson Secondary School. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really wanted to play Rooster; I love Annie.â&#x20AC;? Now taking early childhood education at Algonquin College, Gervais said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to get his teaching degree so he could teach theatre. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I could go into theatre Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d love to,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So far itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s working for me.â&#x20AC;? The show is running Nov. 12 to 21 at Centrepointe Theatre in Nepean. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Annie always sells out because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s such a known show,â&#x20AC;? said Gervais. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Parents can bring their children; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a family-friendly show.â&#x20AC;? Emily Tieu, who plays Duffy, and Mikaela Berg, who sings in the chorus, are also from Kanata. For more information, visit the website at www.orpheustheatre.ca. jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Hazeldean Road will be getting a new look thanks to local city artists. The City of Ottawa held a public art contest to adorn light poles along Hazeldean Road. Kanata West and Stittsville will soon have 82 aluminum banners depicting art work by five artists. Eric Chan and Lynda Cronin will create 26 banners out of aluminum that will run from Terry Fox Drive to Iber Road along Hazeldean. “We make sure that our work is open-ended,” said Chan, who lives downtown. “We want a story to tell. Each piece has a story to tell and each person will find their own story when they look at it.” Chan said his and Cronin’s artwork will be more abstract to let people draw their own interpretations of the aluminum banners. “We want to convey our work not so much as subjectivity, but leave it open, more abstract to let the community respond to our art,” said Chan. “They’re going to be big and they’re going to be laser carved. Our work is very intricate. The beauty is with the technology we have today we can do very fine laser-cut details.” Themes of their designs include

the environment, commerce, communications, culture, hightech industry and sports. Each of these themes speaks to the unique nature of Kanata today while celebrating anticipated growth, said a city spokesperson. Jennifer Stead will create 36 banners that will form a narrative of contrasting and evolving motifs and patterns that depict the movement of the natural world from Terry Fox to Cedar Row Court on Hazeldean. “It was a competitive group of artists,” said Stead about being chosen. “I feel there was a lot of very strong work. I was surprised and very pleased.” Her art will include the dramatic environment surrounding Kanata. “It was inspired with the idea of taking a walk through the woods,” said Stead, who lives in Britannia. “I did a couple of days of excursions. I went along Hazeldean Road and wandered.” Alisdair MacRae and Negar Neyfollahy will create 20 designs to be installed in Stittsville. Their pieces capture visible constellations in the north-eastern and south-western sky along Hazeldean. The city’s public art program commissions artists’ works for display in public spaces.

nicipal development projects is set aside for public art in order to enhance the character of the space giving it a sense of identity while ensuring that art is accessible to everyone. “We were really excited and really happy,” said Chan. “When we

won we were very happy about that. We understand that we had so many very interesting competitors. We’re very honoured. Everyone’s work was amazing.” The aluminum banners will be installed by March 31, 2011. jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Mayor Larry O’Brien declared October 2010 as library awareness month. October is Canadian Library Month across the country with this year’s theme Your Library: Your World: Opening Doors to the Future, emphasizing the ability of libraries to introduce new ideas and new stories into the world around us through traditional and emerging technologies. Canada’s libraries are partners in fostering lifelong learning and play a vital role in helping Canadians of all ages access the information and tools they need to live, learn and work. Libraries help Canadians develop the skills they need to find and evaluate information in order to adapt and succeed in a knowledge-based economy. More than five million people visit OPL branches each year. The OPL offers innovative programs and services at 33 locations, through two bookmobiles, at the Library Kiosk, digitally and through visiting services to the homebound.

Upon learning that Kanata South Coun. Peggy Feltmate would be retiring, a group of volunteers have decided to host a celebration in recognition of all the hard work she has done over the years. “We call ourselves Friends of Peggy”, said chairperson Melva Peever. “Recognizing that Peggy would want an affordable and fun event, we will be donating any revenues left after cost recovery to the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre”. The event takes place at the Kanata Recreation Complex on Nov. 5 from 7 p.m. until midnight, the festivities will include a cash bar organized by the Kanata-Hazeldean Lions Club, music supplied by a DJ and light refreshments. Tickets can be purchased for $10 at the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre, located at 2 MacNeil Crt., at Ottawa City Hall and at Ben Franklin Place. For more information call 613591-3686 ext 495 or send e-mails to friendsofpeggy@hotmail.ca.

IN MEMORIAM

IF YOU ARE EXPECTING OR HAVE A NEW BABY

McCoy, Jean In loving memory of our dear Mother and Grandmother who passed away October 16, 2008. A wife, a mother, a grandma too, This is the legacy we have from you. You taught us love and how to ﬁght, You gave us strength, you gave us might. A stronger person would be hard to ﬁnd, And in your heart, you were always kind. You fought for us all in one way or another, Not just as a wife, not just as a mother. For all of us you gave your best, Now the time has come for you to rest. So go in peace, you’ve earned your sleep, Your love in our hearts, we’ll eternally keep. Lovingly remembered, Marion and David Argue & family.
