The night he took his own life, 15-year-old Jamie Hubley left a suicide note on his blog site. “Well I’m tired of life,” wrote Jamie. “It’s so hard, I’m sorry, I can’t take it anymore.” For the past month, the Glen Cairn teen posted a series of notes on the site describing his struggles being an openly gay teenager and dealing with a deepening depression. “I wish I could be happy, I try, I try I try,” he said in the blog. “I just want to feel special to someone.” Jamie said his final goodbyes to his parents and his close friends on the blog just hours before taking his own life on Saturday, Oct. 15. Jamie is the son of Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley, and Wendy Barber and the brother of Christine Leigh and Joshua. “I don’t want my parents to think this is their fault either,” he wrote in the note. “I can’t stand school. I can’t stand earth. I can’t stand society; I can’t stand the scars on my arms. I can’t f…ing stand anything.” His death comes almost one year after the suicide of Daron Richardson, the 14-yearold daughter of Luke Richardson, an assistant coach of the Ottawa Senators, which focused national attention on the issue of youth suicide. On a memorial Facebook site, which has

The death of a 15-year-old Glen Cairn boy, Jamie Hubley, has evoked an outpouring of grief and messages of condolence from students at A.Y. Jackson Secondary School. attracted hundreds of members, friends talked about Jamie’s great singing voice and posted videos of him performing covers of some of his favourite songs. Jamie came out openly as being gay this past year. “So I hit rock bottom a couple months ago. I’m stuck still,” he wrote. “My ‘friends’ don’t talk to me anymore and I lost another best friend to her boyfriend … I’m kind of stuck, I don’t know if I’m annoying, embarrassing or they just don’t like me.

“I hate being the only open gay guy in my school…I really want to end it.” Jamie’s blog is filled with images of selfmutilation – people with cut marks on their wrists and arms – photographs of men kissing and pictures of youth bullying youth. The photographs and videos are mixed with cries for help such as “Sometimes I wish the breeze would just take me with it,” and “I wish I wasn’t so sad.” JAMIE, see 2

Bullying was a factor in teen’s decision to take his own life: father JAMIE, from 1 Jamie said in his blog he had been depressed since January and been on four different antidepressants, but none of them had worked. He also said he had been seeing a psychologist, but talking about his problems didn’t make them disappear. “I give up,” he said. Jamie’s long-time friend Steph Wheeler said he’d been bullied at school, mostly behind his back. “But he heard about it,” she said, adding some comments were made to his face. Recently, Jamie tried to start a Rainbow Club at his school to promote the acceptance of others. The posters he put up around the hallways were torn down and he was called “vicious names in the hallways and online,” said his father, Allan in a statement. “We had meetings with officials at the school and were working with them to bring an end to it but Jamie felt it would never stop,” said Allan. “We will not say that the bullying was the only reason for James’s decision to take his own life, but it was definitely a factor.”

On his blog, Jamie wrote about how he was dreading the start of school in September. “Someone will call me a fag. But one after the other, after the other, I can tell on them …Yeah. But they don’t give a shit, they’ll come back after their suspension (FUn day at home, free day at school) And continue calling me a faggot, I’m not ready. “Being bullied hurts.” After Jamie’s death, a student posted on Jamie’s memorial Facebook page about how he was sorry for adding to the teen’s anguish. “Man, I never knew you too well,” said the student. “And yah, you know what, I probably said mean things about you that were uncalled for and just plain out rude. “I am so sorry if anything I ever said about you brought you to this point,” he said. It makes me feel terrible inside knowing that I was one of the people who pushed you towards making the decision that you made; I know it’s too late now and that you’re never going to get the chance to read this, but if you do, I am so very sorry, you deserved nothing but the best.” Jamie and Wheeler met in figure skating when they were

younger. Jamie had talked to her before about his depression and suicidal thoughts. “I was one of the few people he talked to about everything,” said Wheeler, who showed up to school on Monday wearing a blue hoodie and blue eyeliner in memory of her friend. The Grade 12 student ordered rainbow bracelets that will be sold at the school in memory of Jamie. The bands will read “Acceptance” written in black on the outside of the bracelet, and “RIP Jamie” on the inside. Wheeler said she’s in talks with students at other schools to act as representatives to sell the bracelets and raise awareness about homophobia and bullying among Ottawa’s youth. “For him, being the only (openly) gay guy, he was trying to do that,” said Wheeler. “It raises awareness. “It opens everyone’s eyes.” Funds raised from the sale of the bracelets will go towards Jer’s Vision, an organization that works to address bullying, homophobia, transphobia, and discrimination in schools and youth communities. “(Jamie) put aside his own feelings for other people and put everyone else’s first,” said

Wheeler. “He looked like the happiest kid.” Many students and staff members at A.Y. Jackson wore blue on Monday, Oct. 17, in memory of Jamie. “Our school community is in mourning right now,” said A.Y. Jackson principal Mark Harris, who wore a blue dress shirt. “But we’re going to persevere

and support each other.” Grief councillors were on hand to help students and staff deal with the loss. Jamie was a member of A.Y. Jackson’s Glee Club and regularly performed at the school’s coffee houses. “He was a star,” said Harris. JAMIE, see 4 R0011133780

and as parents.” Each time Chuuhan drives by the park and ride and sees the memorial of flowers that were placed on the corner where Deng was killed, it brings a tear to her eye, she said. The flowers are now withering but still a constant reminder of the tragedy. “Not a day goes by that I don’t think of her,” Chuuhan said of Deng. “I just have to do something. I can’t just sit and let it go. Are we supposed to just forget?” Chuuhan said that although she’s not part of an advocacy group, she plans on forming a petition to collect signatures of Kanata residents who are concerned about the issue. She also would like to launch a website called Sign Up For Sabrina to bring concerned citizens together online. Her concerns for pedestrian safety come just days after a cyclist was killed on Queen Street downtown during her morning commute to work and as the trial begins for a driver who dragged five cyclists with his van along March Road in 2009.

A Kanata Lakes woman is taking a stand against what she deems “the racetrack called March Road,” particularly the intersection in front of the OC Transpo park and ride on Eagleson Road. Archana Chuuhah said her concerns come after the death of Serena Deng, a 17-year-old girl who was struck by a pickup truck and killed in front of the park and ride on Sept. 12. “That girl was a sensible 17-yearold,” Chuuhah said. “There’s no way she was running across the street and there’s no way she should have died if the driver was going the speed limit.” Chuuhan said she drives along March Road every day to get to work and that she has witnessed many vehicles running red lights and speeding well above the 60 kilometre per hour speed limit. “It’s used like the Queensway,” she said. “People speed like it’s a racetrack.” Chuuhan submitted a letter to the

Kourier-Standard identifying her concerns and calling for change. She said she agrees with recommendations made by Deng’s father to improve the safety of the intersection, including a pedestrian bridge or speed radar for cars to see how fast they are driving. “There should be the sense that someone is watching us to make sure we’re driving safely,” Chuuhah said. Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson said she was unwilling to comment on the accident that killed Deng until the police report is released. “People have been crossing there for a long time without getting hit,” Wilkinson said. “But it’s not an easy street to cross, I’ve done it.” Chuuhan said that regardless of whether one or one hundred people are killed at the intersection, the speeding issue still needs to be addressed. “We cannot afford to lose even a single person more over this,” she said. “It’s very apathetic to say that we don’t think there is a problem. I really think that it matters to us as Kanata citizens

JER’S VISION

DR. KERSTA PETERSON

Jeremy Dias, the 27-year-old director and founder of Jer’s Vision, said he received many emails and phone calls from students at A.Y. Jackson last weekend after Jamie’s death. “(Jamie) was bullied in school and didn’t feel safe in school,” said Dias. “That’s what his blog has said and that’s what his friends have said.” The A.Y. Jackson students said they wanted to create a strategy to deal with homophobic bullying in the school. The group of students said they wanted to design and sell rainbow bracelets, with the money going to Jer’s Vision under Jamie Hubley’s name. “It’s what we wanted to see from the beginning,” said Dias. “Students who care about this issue.” Dias said he will ask the Hubley family how the money should be used. Earlier this year, Dias met with A.Y. Jackson’s student leadership group to discuss bringing some of Jer’s Vision’s programs to the high school. Jer’s Vision offers a series of options for both student groups and the school administration, said Dias, including bringing gay and lesbian history courses into the curriculum and making proms more inclusive for queer youth. Most of the English public schools and some English and French Catholic schools have incorporated some of the programs in Jer’s Vision, including Colonel By and Lisgar Collegiate, he said.

Dias said he is meeting with the administration of A.Y. Jackson to discuss how the high school could introduce some of the Jer’s Vision’s programs. NATIONAL STRATEGY NEEDED The problem with traditional anti-bullying programs is that they are antiquated and don’t speak to today’s youth, said Dias. Canada needs a national youth suicide prevention program, one that includes a strategy for helping lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and queer youth, he said. “We as a country don’t know how to address the bullying that LGBTQ youth face,” Dias said. “Unfortunately for Jamie it’s too late. But it’s not too late for the next generation of queer people.” Bullying doesn’t just involve just one bully and a victim, said Dias. “It’s an ongoing relationship between you and your community,” he said. It could involve being called a name, being left out of a group or discovering homophobic graffiti painted on your locker, Dias said. “It’s not one giant incident. It’s a series of small incidents that make up homophobic bullying.” Dias said his programs are aimed at educating straight students and school staff on how to create a respectful and safe environment for queer youth. “Homophobia isn’t just being afraid or hating gay people,” he said. “It’s being unaware.” A queer student who publicly comes out faces a wide range of fears, added Dias. “You’re terrified your best friend will not be your best friend anymore,” he said. “You’re terrified your parents will kick you out of the house. “This incident is a reminder of the reality of being an out gay youth in Canada, and the difficulty one has,” said Dias on his website, jersvision.org. “We urge schools and community organizations to make their youth spaces safer by running workshops, presentations and youth initiatives to prevent these sorts of incidents.”

Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley spoke out about his son’s suicide on Monday, Oct. 17, saying his “beautiful boy” was a compassionate, talented child who struggled with depression and bullying over his sexuality before he took his own life. “This past Friday, our family suffered one of the worst experiences that can happen to a family when we lost our boy – Jamie. To make this even more difficult, his death was the result of suicide,” said Hubley in a statement released Monday. Hubley said James was bullied for years. In Grade 7 he was treated cruelly for preferring figure skating to hockey and in high school he was called names for putting up posters for the Rainbow Club, which were torn down. “We must do whatever we can to wipe out bullying for any reason in our society and especially in our schools,” said Hubley. James “didn’t have a mean bone in his body” and worked with his father on help-

ing others in the community. “Although James had a great many people who loved and supported him, something in his mind kept taking him to a dark place where he could not see the positive side of life,” Hubley said. “Jamie is free of his pain now and there is a new angel but we have paid too high a price.” James was receiving counselling and treatment at CHEO for depression, said Hubley, adding his son struggled with his sexuality and being judged about it by others. Hubley thanked the people who have supported his family as they cope with James’s death. The family is asking for privacy. “I need time to deal with the pain of not being able to save my precious boy,” Hubley said. The family asks everyone wishing to make a donation in Jamie’s memory to direct it to the Youth Services Bureau Mental Health Walk in Clinic. Hubley’s full statement can be viewed at yourottwawaregion.com.

The clerk suffered no injuries in the robbery. The suspects were described as black males, both dressed in black. One was heavy-set, around 5 feet, 10 inches and wearing a white mask. The second had a skinny build. Anyone with information is asked to contact the robbery section at 613-236-1222 ext. 5116 or Crime Stoppers at 613-233-8477 or toll free at 1-800-222-8477.

Editorial

How many more lives need be lost?

he city is mourning the loss of a 15-yearold Glen Cairn boy who took his own life last weekend. Jamie Hubley, son of Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley, was a much-loved son and brother, a talented performer and a member of the A.Y. Jackson Secondary School Glee Club with his whole life in front of him. His death has sparked an outpouring of grief from classmates, horrified and saddened the boy felt there was no other escape from his pain other than suicide. This week, thousands of people across the city are asking the same question – why? In his own words, Jamie said he felt alone in his high school, after coming out this year as being gay. The teen wrote in his online blog that he was struggling with a deepening depression. He was taking antidepressants, but said they just weren’t working. His parents obviously loved their son very much and helped him as much as possible, taking him for treatment of his depression. But was there something else that we as a community could have done collectively to help Jamie and other youth like him dealing with

suicidal thoughts? Jeremy Dias, the founder of Jer’s Vision, an organization that works to address bullying, homophobia and discrimination in schools and youth communities, wants to introduce programs that make our schools more inclusive for queer youth. Canada needs a national suicide prevention strategy, one that includes a strategy for helping lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and queer youth, he said. We agree. Canada is the only G8 country without a national suicide prevention strategy. In September, our newspaper ran a series of articles about the issue of youth suicide (which can be found on our website at yourottawaregion. com). We learned suicide is the second leading cause of death for people age 10 to 24, according to Statistics Canada. On a grassroots level we need to teach the issue in schools and provide suicide prevention training for any adult who works with children. This is a national problem in need of a national solution, from the ground up. It takes a village to raise a child – it might need a nation to save them.

Not quite three cheers for the CBC

n a couple of weeks, the CBC will be full of celebrations of itself, and we should celebrate too. Seventy-five years ago, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation was formed and it has enriched our lives immeasurably. It has done this mainly by providing intelligent content not available elsewhere. While private radio and television stations chased ratings by pandering to the lowest common denominator, the CBC has provided a steady diet of news, current affairs, arts coverage and smart talk. For the longest time, the CBC has been one the things Canadians talked about when distinguishing ourselves from citizens of other countries. It was right up their medicare and hockey. While some have criticized CBC as elitist, many of its greatest triumphs have been far from that — think of Wojeck, Wayne and Shuster, Country Hoedown, The Friendly Giant, The Beachcombers, The Royal Canadian Air Farce. It’s quite a history. So how come so few of us feel like celebrating? The main reason is a feeling that CBC is no longer interested in doing the things that made it great. There is basically no arts programming on television. The CBC used to pride itself on supporting Canadian artists — discover-

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town ing them, paying them, giving them a chance to perform and bringing them to an audience. There is considerably less drama on television, a strength in the past. Original drama has been replaced by a series of reality TV shows. On radio, specialized music programming — classical and jazz programs that delighted their audiences — has mostly given way to a bland potpourri, designed to offend no one and thrill no one either. This comes from trying to attract a wide audience and CBC people will say that’s necessary because government funding is inadequate and more advertising revenue is needed. For the advertising revenue to come there need to be large audiences. The large audiences, the CBC has decided, will not show up to watch and listen to the things CBC has always done best. Is the new approach working? As far

as anyone knows, there has been no surge in CBC ratings, with one somewhat ironic exception: the CBC radio morning and afternoon drive shows, which do things the way the CBC always did them, with extended interviews, reviews and panels. In Ottawa, CBC information shows do deservedly well. In other areas, particularly TV, programmers are scuffling, too quick to make some decisions — redesigning the national news — too indecisive to make some others — which explains the survival of the embarrassing Don Cherry. News, long a CBC strength, has become glib, overpackaged, superficial and inadequate. On Manitoba election night, viewers in other provinces searched CBC in vain for detailed results and found them, in full detail, on the muchmaligned Sun News Network. CBC put its results online, as if that were enough for a network with national responsibilities. On Ontario election night, CBC was quick to cover what was on Twitter, causing at least one CBC loyalist to check out TV Ontario, finding resultsbased, no-nonsense coverage with experienced commentators and never going back to CBC. These are all small examples, but they show something. So does the local CBC’s recent decision to drop theatre reviews from its morning information

show. “People listen to radio now in very short chunks,” explained a CBC producer. “They’re expecting shorter items and they’re expecting things that set up their day.” What’s a review last — three minutes? When programmers make decisions like that, they are saying implicitly that their audience is not very smart. They might phrase it differently; they might say that their listeners lead busy lives and don’t have time for detailed commentaries or reviews. But it amounts to the same thing. Here’s breaking news: We are never too busy for something interesting, even if it lasts as long as five minutes. Also, we are smarter than CBC programmers think. After 75 years, they should know that.

To the editor: Re: “Eagleson park and ride needs a parking garage”, letter to the editor, Oct. 6, KKS. I am writing this in response to Rob Tom’s letter in the KourierStandard entitled: “Eagleson park and ride needs a parking garage”. I am going to relate this situation specifically to the tragic death of Serena Deng, the pedestrian struck and killed on the racetrack called March Road. What struck me as painful was how Marianne Wilkinson, the Kanata North councillor, seemed to undermine the tragedy by stating that the problems identified by Mr. Deng (Serena’s father) were not “widespread”. As a Kanata resident and a daily user of that intersection, I completely agree with him that this is a very unsafe intersection and that we need immediate measures to rectify the problems to avoid any further incidents. What is the definition of “widespread” and how many tragedies would it take to bring the statistics to a level where action will be taken? I feel that, for a parent, their child is their entire world so statistics should not be a criteria for a wake up call of this nature. I have myself witnessed constant speeding and people running red lights. If it takes a survey of the users of the park and ride or a signature campaign by concerned residents, I will be willing to spend the time and effort to prove the point put forth by the grieving parents of this beautiful girl. As I looked at (Serena’s) cherubic smile from a front page news story following her death, I knew in my heart that we owe it to her and her family to make their voices heard. Each time I pass by the flowerladen spot where the tragedy happened I shed another tear for a life cut short too soon. Let us join hands Kanata in getting a speed radar and requesting the city to consider a pedestrian bridge to make that intersection safer for all of us. Archana Chauhan Kanata Lakes

formed at a clinic run by Dr. Christiane Farazli located at 1081 Carling Ave., suite 606. While those procedures are no longer being conducted at the clinic, he added, it remains in operation. At a press conference on Monday, Oct. 17, Levy said the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario had inspected the clinic and found that some infection prevention and cleaning protocols were not always being followed. Levy said the investigation found tools that had been inadequately sterilized, expired chemicals and a failure perform “deep cleaning” of instruments. Endoscopes are cleaned using a process that has several steps to make sure that they are properly scrubbed and disinfected between patients, a procedure that was not always followed at Dr.Farazli’s clinic. Registered letters were sent on Monday to about 6,800 patients who were treated at the clinic between April 2002 and June 2011. As a result of its investigation and consultations with communicable disease experts, Levy said there is a very low risk that patients may have been exposed to Hepatitis B virus, Hepatitis C virus or HIV during the tests. “The risk of associated infection is believed to be less than one in one million for hepatitis B, less than one in 50 million for hepatitis C, and less than one in three billion for HIV,” said Levy “Even though the risk of infection for those who had the procedures related to this issue is very low, we wanted to ensure that affected patients were made aware of the situation so that they can consider being tested for these infections if that is what they wish.”

The letters will provide people with general information and advise them to call their family doctor, and arrange a blood test if they’re concerned. They include information for patients who would like to be tested. These are free blood tests and patients will need to go to a laboratory to have blood taken. If a patient would like to be tested they have several options which are outlined in the letter. “We are aware of the distress these letters may cause and we have worked to ensure that important information on how to be tested and how to seek medical advice is included,” said Levy. He said that Ottawa Public Health has notified local family physicians of the issue to ensure they are able and ready to support any patient who comes to them. “If a patient does not have a family doctor, OPH will assist in arranging the testing,” Levy said. OPH has established a dedicated information line for residents who have questions related to this issue. Any person who underwent endoscopy in the facility during the time period mentioned and who has not received a letter by Tuesday, Oct. 25 should contact OPH. A dedicated information line has been set up by OPH and can be reached at 613580-2888. The phone line will be available between 8:30 a.m. and 9:30 p.m. Monday to Friday and from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. Additional information can be found at www.ottawa. ca/health. Patients are also being advised not to go to a hospital emergency department for blood testing. Hospitals will re-direct patients seeking blood tests for this issue to call OPH.

‘Humanure’ dumping sickens homeowner North Gower family experienced similar health problems back in 2001 following city’s spread of biosolids near property. COURTNEY SYMONS courtney.symons@metroland.com

A Kinburn woman says a farmer’s field near her house where the city dumped treated human waste has made her and her animals sick. Brenda Grey has collected a petition with 70 signatures asking the City of Ottawa to stop dumping “humanure” on the field. Also known as sewer sludge, biosolids are treated human waste used as fertilizer to add nutrients to the soil. It’s like manure, only using human waste instead. The City of Ottawa and the province of Ontario state that land application of biosolids is safe and completely legal when applied according to regulations put in place by the province. The last time the city dumped biosolids on the field, Grey said she ended up with a gastrointestinal virus and several of her animals contracted illnesses. A test of her well water by the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care showed unsafe levels of E. coli and coliform in her well water, a result of sewage contamination. Last summer, Grey received a notice from the city, informing her that it would dump another load of treated human waste on agricultural land located at the northeast corner of Mohr’s Road and Hunt Line Road in Kinburn this year. “I thought, ‘They can’t do this,’” said Grey. “I will die if they contaminate that field. I still haven’t recovered from the last time.” BIOSOLIDS In 2008, Grey received a letter in the mailbox from the City of Ottawa telling her that biosolids would be spread on the field next to her house. Grey didn’t know what to expect, but there was one side effect of the dumping that she noticed right away. “The smell,” she said. “The smell was so outrageous that we didn’t even leave the house. People would come by and say, ‘Brenda, that smells like human waste, what is that?’ It smelled like that for two weeks.” Although the stench caused Grey and her husband Robert to cancel many of their social plans, the real problems came later.

When they moved to their new home in 2004, a test showed the well’s water was safe to drink. During the winter of 2008-09, after the city dumped treated human waste on a nearby farmer’s field, Grey contracted a gastrointestinal bacterial infection and was forced to take the antibiotic Flagyl for three months before recovering. The infection carried on into the spring and early summer, leaving Grey feeling nauseous and weak and she made multiple trips to the hospital emergency room. Grey’s dog also contracted a bacterial infection, and was also put on Flagyl. One of Grey’s horses, which was boarded next to another field that had been covered with treated waste, suffered from severe diarrhea and had to be treated intravenously by a veterinarian, who suspected the problem could be C. difficile, a type of bacteria that can be transmitted through feces. Another of Grey’s horses died that winter of heaves, the equine version of asthma. Grey also developed a respiratory problem resulting in a chronic cough. “Prior to this, I hadn’t been sick for 15 years,” she said. “Not a cold, not a virus, nothing.” Grey said the three months she spent taking Flagyl was dangerous to her health because she suffers from a blood disease as a result of a tainted blood transfusion. “I said to my husband, ‘We have to check the water,’” Grey said. After testing the well in July of 2009, the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care sent a report saying their water was unsafe to drink as a result of sewage contamination. The total coliform level was 80 per 100 millilitres, and the E. coli level was at four per 100 millilitres. Health Canada states that the safe level of coliform and E. coli in drinking water is zero. Coliform can be categorized as either total or fecal coliform – the former being acceptable in water up until 10 per 100 millilitres, but the latter being related to E. coli and not suitable for drinking. The Grey’s have a fairly new septic tank which has been recently cleaned, so she said she is confident it wasn’t the result of a faulty tank. Other causes of contamina-

After suffering through health issues that she believes were caused by the biosolids, Grey received a letter stating that another land application will be spread on the field within weeks. tion could have been manure getting into the well, which is what she was told when she contacted a staff member with the city’s biosolids program. Grey paid for a purification system to be installed with a filter that restored the water from her 110-metre-deep well back to safety. She started a campaign against the spreading of biosolids, calling every government ministry she could think of, but was unable to find anyone who could help or compensate her. Last July, Grey received another letter from the City of Ottawa informing her that there would be another application of municipal biosolids on agricultural land located on a field near her home. Grey began a petition, collecting 70 signatures from neighbours and clients of her psychotherapy practice she runs out of her home. Grey isn’t the only one who has gone public with her protests against biosolids. Lisa Jones, who owns Rideau Bus Lines with her husband Stuart Simpson in North Gower, experienced negative health effects after biosolids were deposited next to their home in 2001. Jones said she first became aware of the biosolids because

of the smell. “We thought the dog had brought in a dead groundhog,” she said. This was before legislation was put in place requiring biosolids to be mixed in with the soil, so they were piled on top of the field, right up against the fence surrounding Jones’ and Simpson’s property. Within hours, Jones and her family had headaches, itchy throats, sore eyes, nausea and diarrhea. Operating Rideau Bus Lines from their home prevented Jones and Simpson from leaving, and they found it impossible to keep the smell out of their home. “It filters right into the house,” she said. “Every time you open the door, the smell comes in.” The nausea and diarrhea were so persistent that Jones and Simpson contacted Glenn Brooks, their city councillor at the time. He came to their house and Jones said he was repulsed by the smell. Next, Jones approached Robert Cushman, then Ottawa’s medical officer of health. Jones said she discovered that the City of Ottawa had not notified nearby residents that they would be dumping biosolids as required under provincial law. Because of this slipup and Jones’

activism, a six-month moratorium was put in place forbidding any further biosolid deposits in the area. The six months were also used to update the city’s biosolid procedures, and it was then that regulations were put in place requiring biosolids to be worked into the soil. Jones said that her family’s diarrhea and nausea lasted for two weeks after the biosolids were finally mixed into the earth, but she has not experienced any long-term health effects. Jones said she can’t believe it’s still legal to deposit biosolids. “Nobody should have to go through that,” she said of her experience. HOW TO MAKE BIOSOLIDS Land application of biosolids is nothing new, and has been practiced for decades. The City of Ottawa says 80 per cent of municipalities in Ontario either apply all or a portion of their biosolids to soil. It is practiced in almost every province and U.S. state. The biosolids are used as fertilizer, as they contain plant nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. BIOSOLIDS, see 11

News feature

BIOSOLIDS, from 10 They reportedly build up the soil structure, improve moisture retention and reduce soil erosion. In and around Ottawa, biosolids have been dumped on and off for the past 20 years. In 2009, the most recent information available, 12,037 wet tonnes of biosolids had been deposited in Ottawa. Fortyseven percent of that was distributed in West Carleton, mostly in what used to be identified as Fitzroy township. Ottawa’s sewer sludge is produced at the Robert O. Pickard wastewater treatment plant in Gloucester. The plant separates water from solids, filtering out the water and sending it back to the Ottawa River. Inorganic solids like sand and grit are filtered out, leaving only the organic solids – fecal matter – which are pumped into anaerobic digesters that break down those solids, much like a stomach would digest food. Stabilized sewage sludge is the resulting product, as defined by provincial regulations: a wet, mushy mess consisting of three to four per cent solids and the rest, water.

“People are going to keep using the toilet. We’re not going to stop generating waste and we have to manage it in the most responsible and cost-effective way that we can.” • Erik Apedaile City of Ottawa environmental services

The City of Ottawa goes a step further, sending it through high-speed centrifuges which squeeze out as much water as possible. The result is material that is 28 to 32 per cent solid. You could pick it up and hold it in your hand; it looks like damp, dark topsoil and smells like manure. When the decision is made to spread biosolids, the city gives notice to residents within 450 metres of the spreading, and the biosolids must remain more than 90 metres away from a well or 0.9 metres from groundwater. To minimize the smell, it is required to mix the biosolids into the soil on the same day they are applied. No-charge well testing is also provided by the city upon request. Tests are taken up to four weeks before the spreading and between 10 and 12 weeks afterwards. WHY USE BIOSOLIDS? Erik Apedaile works with the City of Ottawa’s biosolid program, and said that land applications are requested by farmers and spread onto the farmer’s land at the city’s expense. No money exchanges

hands. “It’s sort of like a symbiotic relationship,” Apedaile said. “The farmer benefits because they save money on fertilizer and they’re going to get a very good corn crop. Secondly, they’re going to get their land worked by the city.” The benefit to the city is that the biosolids are disposed of more cheaply than using alternative methods like incineration or dumping into a landfill. “We have people, and we live in communities, and we make waste,” Apedaile said. “People are going to keep using the toilet. We’re not going to stop generating waste, and we have to manage it in the most responsible and cost-effective way that we can. This is probably the most sustainable way of managing this material.” Apedaile said that he faces a lot of resistance from citizens who are against the idea of biosolids. “Nobody likes biosolids next door to them,” he said. “It’s a visceral reaction. Nobody is calling us up and congratulating us, and I understand that.” SAFETY Apedaile said that many safety precautions are taken to ensure that biosolids don’t cause harm to humans. There has always been risk associated with farming, he said, including using chemicals and pesticides or even operating heavy machinery. The micro-organisms in biosolids are mixed in with the soil (which also contains micro-organisms) but they are not motile, meaning they cannot move on their own. “It’s difficult to think of a scenario where pathogens could move through a 90-metre buffer into a well,” he said, referring to the required distance that biosolids must remain from a well. “It’s not appropriate to say that it’s impossible, but we can say it’s not in the realm of the probable.” Biosolids contain carbon, nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus, metals like iron and magnesium, bacteria and other micro-organisms. Approximately 70 per cent of the biosolids’ mass is water. Some studies have been done to test the potential health effects of biosolids on humans. One in Wood County, Ohio, was led by a team of researchers including Sadik Khuder, a professor at the University of Toledo. In the 1990s, Khuder helped conduct a study on waste treatment workers who came in contact with biosolids, and results found that they had a higher rate of various gastrointestinal diseases and symptoms. As a follow-up to this study in 2006, Khuder and his team mailed health surveys to 437 residents who lived within a mile of a biosolids deposit, and 176 people who were not exposed to biosolids. The study, entitled Health Survey of Residents Living Near Farm Fields Permitted to Receive Biosolids, found that some health symptoms were statistically significantly elevated in those exposed to biosolids. They had a higher rate of excessive secretion of tears, abdominal bloating, jaundice, skin ulcers, dehydration, weight loss and general weakness.

The Robert O. Pickard wastewater treatment plant processess waste by separating water from solids, and pumping the fecal matter through an anaerobic digester, producing solid material that looks like dark topsoil and smells like manure. The frequency of bronchitis, upper respiratory infection and giardiasis (an infection of the small intestine) were also significantly elevated in those close to biosolids. Khuder’s study concluded that there was an increased risk for certain respiratory, gastrointestinal and other diseases among residents who lived close to biosolids, but added that more studies needed to be done to determine this conclusively. Currently, Khuder is working on studies in other counties in the United States to determine the health effects of biosolids on humans. This time, instead of sending surveys for citizens to self-report their symptoms, the team is following a group of people before, during and after the dumping of biosolids to take measurements. Khuder said they are in the process of publishing these studies, and could not discuss his findings. “I think there is some harm,” Khuder said about the land application of biosolids, “but if the community takes some precautions I think they can be valuable assets to the community.” CLOSER TO HOME West Carleton-March Coun. Eli ElChantiry said that biosolids are a hotbutton topic that surfaces every now and again. “It’s not about whether or not I think it’s a good idea,” he said, “But I do think it’s a good idea, and I think there is no harm based on (information from) the city’s medical health officers.” He added that it’s not a city decision, but is instead one made legal under pro-

vincial legislation and is approved by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs. The ministry did not return the Review’s phone calls for comment. Plus, in the early days when Ottawa wasn’t offering biosolids to farmers, it didn’t stop them. “Local farmers still managed to find the product from other places,” El-Chantiry said. “Whether the city gives the farmers biosolids or not, they could still use them.” The list of rules and regulations in place for land application of biosolids keeps citizens safe, El-Chantiry said. “I know some people move out here near to a farmer that does it and they don’t like it, but unfortunately this is part of our farming community and we have to live with it,” he said. But none of this is comfort to Grey, who said she lives in fear of the day she will see the dump trucks returning and she smells that awful odour. If they dump near her again, she said she will board up her house and stay in a hotel with her husband until the ground freezes. She said that the nearby fields are used to grow corn for animals and beans for human consumption. The farmer who owns the property next to Grey declined to comment. Grey said she delivered a handwritten letter to his mailbox pleading with him to stop the second dumping of biosolids, but she received no reply. “It’s disgusting that our province and our city are involved in this,” Grey said. “I trusted them. I thought that one call to public health would do it. And here I am, hundreds of calls later.”

The Hazeldean Library branch is celebrating three decades of serving the Kanata South community. The branch is enjoying its highest user rate since it first opened in 1981, with over 355,000 items being checked out last year. “It’s a hopping place,” said branch co-ordinator Karen Beiles. “Basically the vision for libraries today is that they’re far more than just a depository for collections, far more than a building, than shelves lined with books. They’re programming spaces, information centres, community meeting places. They’re places to meet with friends, places to gather to do projects, places for Internet access. “It’s a little bit of a misnomer that library usage has trailed off.” The Hazeldean branch, located at 50 Castlefrank Rd., is hosting its 30th anniversary party on Saturday, Oct. 22 with a host of events and activities: • Celebrity story time with Angie Poirier will take place from 1:30-2 p.m. • The official ceremony will take place from 22:30 p.m. • Refreshments will be served from 2:30-3 p.m. • A children’s program with Glen Cairn native and singer-songwriter Gerry Mitchell will run from 3-4 p.m. LIBRARY, see 13

30 YEARS The Hazeldean library first existed in the form of a portable in the parking lot of the Jack Charron Arena. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Library service in the area does precede the 30 years in the form of a portable,â&#x20AC;? said Beiles, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worked in libraries in Toronto and Ottawa since 1998. The existing building was created in 1980, with the grand opening taking place in 1981. Since that time the library has updated the way people find information with Internet databases and the ability to check out CDs, DVDs and other electronic copy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People are understanding that Google is not the answer to everything,â&#x20AC;? said Beiles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People still benefit tremendously having a librarian go through

the resources. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very much still a service that people want and need and use in droves. The numbers go up every year. We continue to embrace whatever new related technology that comes along.â&#x20AC;?

Dunrobin woman charged for private wildlife rehabilitation centre JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

The future of the Constance Creek Wildlife Refuge may be in jeopardy, following a raid on Oct. 11 by Ministry of Natural Resources official that saw founder Lynn Rowe charged. Rowe was charged with keeping wildlife in captivity without a licence. “They took away two raccoons I had raised and bottle fed,” Rowe said. “They were about to be released.” Rowe, who has worked for years to raise money in order to set up the refuge on her Dunrobin Road property, said the situation was steeped in irony. Rowe applied for a license to keep wildlife in captivity three months ago and had set about building enclosures and fencing on her property to keep the wildlife safe and separate from humans and her domesticated animals. But the installation of one of those fences caused some of her donkeys to get loose and wander onto the road. “In putting up the fence they took away part of an older fence and the donkeys got out,” Rowe said, adding that she subsequently got a visit from the city’s bylaw department. “I think bylaw called MNR,” she said. “What’s ironic is that I keep these animals because every where else in the province is full. Then I get charged.” Rowe was about to lead a tour of her property to a group of Sparks – the four

and five-year-old division of Girl Guides, when she saw to MNR vehicles pull up. Rowe said she had been fined previously for keeping wildlife on her property so she knew the risks she was taking and made a choice to keep the refuge going this summer. “People dropped off wildlife all summer, sometimes leaving it on my doorstep without a note,” Rowe said. “I decided to keep doing it because there’s a real need. It’s innocent orphans, often put there because of human interference.” Rowe has a soft spot for animals, evident in the 80 domesticated ones she has on her four-hectare property. She said she takes farm animals to retirement homes and daycares to foster goodwill. Since deciding to open a refuge in her home, Rowe has taken courses in the care of wild animals and used up tens of thousands of her own money along with $20,000 in one-time grant money to building fencing and housing for area wildlife. Rowe said she understands that the laws are in place to prevent people from making pets out of wildlife or trying to care for them unequipped, but she was trying to do the right thing. MNR officials were not immediately available for comment. With the charge Rowe said the future of the refuge is unsure. “It’s hard to say, it’s kind of up in the air,” she said. “It could be they decide never to grant me a licence or they see there is a real need.”

BUSES AND BUDGET The mayor also took the opportunity to talk about council’s transit plans and budget. Watson told the crowd the city was one year ahead of schedule in converting all OC Transpo buses to low-kneeling buses, able to handle wheelchairs and walkers with more ease. He talked about the city’s light rail plans but couldn’t answer an attendees question about when Kanata would see the results of rapid transit.

Around 80 members of The Probus Club of Western Ottawa turned out to listen to the mayor speak about his recent Seniors Summit on Tuesday, Oct. 11. Mayor Jim Watson told the crowd the Older Adult Plan is a necessity and past councils hadn’t done enough to plan for the influx of older adults as the baby boomer generation reaches its golden years. “We do have this aging population and with that comes great opportunities and great challenges,” he said. Watson said after listening to the more than 200 participants who turned out for the Seniors Summit on Oct. 3, he had a better idea of the services needed. Among those were better health care, library services, recreation opportunities, transportation, housing, community support and civic participation. “We’ve now kick-started the public consultation,” said Watson. Members of the Probus Club offered their own suggestions, including making street signs and building numbers uniform, with larger and easier-to-read lettering and numbers. “You might have less potential accidents with people (looking for numbers),” said one member, amid a round of clapping for his idea. A number of other attendees agreed with the sentiment, with others stating they sometimes drive past their destination a number of times before they are able to read the signage. The mayor said he would look into the idea of uniform signage for city buildings and street signs. Seniors account for 20 per cent of the current population in the City of Ottawa, with that number scheduled to jump to 20 per cent over the next two decades, said Watson. “That number is going to get nothing but bigger,” he said, adding, “We’re trying to come up with a realistic plan.” He said there is a less than ideal situation developing, with a less active and less healthy younger generation putting strain on the health care system at the same time as the baby boomers age and require more health services. “We have the perfect storm developing,” said Watson, adding he would like to see the older generation have the option of living at home longer. Members of the Probus Club said the meeting was informative, but they were also hoping for more in the way of concrete

der 2.5 per cent for the coming year. “I didn’t feel that we wanted to go through a slash and burn of our services,” he said. “We need your ideas,” he added, on where the city could save money. Those with ideas can email them to the mayor at budget2012@ottawa.ca.

plans. “I wanted to hear more on what they’re planning for seniors,” said Ian Howes, past president of the Probus Club. Ruth Howes, current president and married to Ian, said she thought the meeting went well even with the lack of solid plans. “They’re only in their planning stages themselves,” she said. “I think it went very well.”

first one and now it’s taken me all over the place.” Pignat is hosting a release party at D’Arcy McGee’s located at 655 Terry Fox Dr., in Kanata, from 2 to 4 p.m. on Oct. 22. “I think it’s a really cool story about a boy growing up; an adventure story but with a deeper meaning to it,” she said. “It’s a neat way to learn about history, about Ottawa history and the cultures that formed the Ottawa area. Plus, I hope it’s entertaining. It’s the kind of book you don’t notice that you’re learning. I hope its something readers of all ages are going to enjoy.” “Timber Wolf ” follows Jack as he struggles to survive in the Canadian wilderness, injured, lost and with no memories. “He has no idea how he got there or who he is,” said Pignat. “This whole adventure is him trying to prove he’s brave and courageous.” The novel weaves Algonquin history and culture throughout the pages. “A couple of scenes in he’s still waiting, too injured to get out on his own. An Algonquin boy shows up at his camp. I had to stop writing. I had no idea who this character was,” she said. “I had to go back into research mode and learn as much as I could.” “Timber Wolf ” also offers readers a chance to learn about Ottawa’s history as a lumber town. “It was neat to show the assumptions both boys make about it each other,” said Pignat, who teaches a writer’s craft course at All Saints Catholic High School. She gives author’s talks at local libraries and schools and has been chosen to be a part of Toronto Dominion’s book week. Pignat will be travelling through Quebec in the spring. “I’m really looking forward to it,” she said, adding she’ll be visiting different schools and libraries hosting workshops and readings. “It’ll be really exciting.” She is also a member of MASC, a creative writing group offering workshops that team up

Caroline Pignat’s latest novel “Timber Wolf,” is launching on Oct. 22. young students with arts professionals. “They seem to be putting a lot of stuff in place for young writers which I think is great,” said Pignat, who first got the idea for her book series in high school. “I think it’s pretty exciting when they can actually talk to somebody. Some of them just want you to affirm that they’re doing really good.” FOURTH BOOK Pignat is in talks to write a fourth book in the Byrnes family series. The next novel will follow Annie, the youngest sibling of Kit and Jack, about 10 years in the future. “I figure if I do her story where its 10 years later than (readers will) know what happened to the other characters,” said Pignat, who spent the summer planning and researching what she wants to do in the fourth book. “I’m excited because I know I still have Annie’s story to tell. I think I’m going to be really sad when it’s finished.” “Timber Wolf ” will be available at the book launch and in local bookstores.

21 Kanata Kourier-Standard - OCTOBER 20, 2011

Knights Midgets win first shutout of the year The Kanata Knights Midgets won in a double overtime thriller 6-0 over the Nepean Redskins. It was their first game on the new Robert Barr field on Friday, Oct. 14. The entire Knights team played their hearts out all game long, climaxing with Sean Morley and Roger Collins forcing a Redskins fumble deep in Knights territory. Yoni Soleyn picked it up and ran 92 yards for the game winning score. It was the first shutout of the year for the Midgets. The last meeting between the two teams resulted in a Redskin 31-0 victory. The Knights defense shut down the Skins with Paul Hewitt, Mitch Graham and Sean Morley each recovering fumbles. Soleyn also had an interception. The Knights offense, led by Matt Gagnon and Lucas Sauve, kept the Redskins defense on the field with long sustained drives. Mike Leno, Ryan Elchakieh and Cassy Malenfant led the running attack combining for 92 yards. The Knights rushed for 116 yards in an absolute mud bowl due to the rain. Cassy Aite played a major role in the Knights victory on a special play with key punts on a rainy, muddy day when field position was the name of the game.

The victory keeps the Knights in the playoff hunt and enables them to secure a spot with a win over the Bel-Air Norsemen on Friday, Oct. 21 at the Nepean Sportsplex. Coach Graham presented Bob Barr with the game winning ball in honor of his special day. MOSQUITO The Kanata Knights a.k.a the Comeback Kids did it once again, this time against the Myers Riders, despite a final score of 45-16 for the Riders on Saturday, Oct. 15. Patrick Massia tripled his efforts by pounding for 173 rushing yards, gaining 33 kickoff return yards and was 2-2 in points after attempts. Running behind an aggressive offensive line in the second half, Massia was able to scamper for two touchdowns. Greg Harris, Connor Ogilvie, Jay Vitagliano, Kane Obas and Scott Robinson each recorded 10 tackles or more. Vitagliano stripped the ball three times, and one was recovered by Robinson who also had an interception. With an outstanding effort made by all the defensive players, including memorable tackles by Shabach Kerr and Jarod Wakeman, Kanata outplayed the Myers Riders and won the second half. The Knights are encouraged and ready

for next week’s playoff game despite their defeat. PEEWEE The Knights Peewee team faced off against Myers Riders in their final regular season game on Saturday, Oct. 15 at the Minto Field. Battling both the second place Riders and Mother Nature, the team gave it their all against high winds and heavy rains but lost to the Riders 29-7. Defensive player Nathan Carter turned in the Knights sole touchdown with a thrilling long distance run. Every member of the offence that night fought hard to gain yardage and push towards the goal line. Brady Tran, Joey McKiernan, Garrett Kirk, Patrick Heika, Duncan Jarmyn, Lucas Morrison, Dylan Marshal, Dylan Walker, Nick Beer and Thomas Partridge came out strong every shift and pushed to move those line markers in the right direction. The Knights’ defense stood their ground and kept the Riders from scoring in the second half. Jimmy Johnson, Myles Anderson, Josh Featherstone, Michael Kraeker, Peter Fillmore, Jordan Porter, Brandon Whiteman, Tristen Hubley and Dylan Lachance showed the crowd what it means to be Knights as they came out again and again to do their jobs.

LAURA MUELLER laura.mueller@metroland.com

The city wants to take advantage of ultra-low interest rates currently available by borrowing $75 million for large infrastructure projects. Those previously approved projects include the buying the former St. Thomas School property on Leeming Drive in Crystal Beach, complete reconstruc-

tion of the Bytown Bridges that cross the Ottawa River at Sussex Drive (including reconstruction of Sussex from King Edward Avenue to MacKay Street), as well as the construction on King Edward that is ongoing between Sussex and Laurier avenues. The loan will come with a 2.86 per cent interest rate – the lowest the city has seen for 20 years, according to a city report. Mayor Jim Watson said tak-

ing on the loan makes good financial sense of the city, which is nowhere near the debt limit set by the province. “Most people, when they buy a house, have a mortgage – they don’t put all the cash down. We’re in the same boat,” Watson said. Watson said the city is good shape financially because it is conservative in the amount of loans it takes out, as well as

how much it spends. The city plans to pay back the loan over 10 years. Some of the other projects the debt will pay for: • Assessment and construction of Kanata Avenue and Goulbourn Forced Road, related to development within the Marchwood/Lakeside community. • Rehabilitation of Huntmar Drive from the Carp River

Bridge to Old Carp Road. • Buying land and constructing the Centrepointe road link, a 100-metre extension of Navaho Drive between the realigned southwest Transitway station and Constellation Crescent. • Costs for assessment and repairs to the existing bridges that traverse the Rideau Canal and Rideau River. • Construction of new Park and Ride lots for OC Transpo.

Boundary expansion a slam dunk at council

Waste Management of Canada Corporation Environmental Assessment for a New Landfill Footprint at the West Carleton Environmental Centre OPEN HOUSE #3 and WORKSHOP #3 Waste Management of Canada Corporation (WM) is undertaking an Environmental Assessment (EA) seeking approval for a new landfill footprint at the existing Ottawa Waste Management Facility (Ottawa WMF). The new landfill footprint will be one component of the proposed West Carleton Environmental Centre (WCEC). The proposed WCEC will be an integrated waste management facility that will include: • A new landfill footprint; • Waste diversion and recycling operations; • Composting operations; • Renewable energy facilities; and, • Recreational lands for community uses. The new landfill footprint is the only component of the WCEC that requires EA approval under the Environmental Assessment Act (EAA). The proposed location of the WCEC and the new landfill footprint component is within the City of Ottawa in the area shown on the map below. The purpose of the EA is to study the potential environmental effects (positive or negative) of the proposed new landfill footprint. Key components of an EA include consultation with government agencies and the public; consideration and evaluation of alternatives; and the management of potential environmental effects. Conducting an EA promotes good environmental planning before decisions are made about a proposal. Earlier in 2011, WM held a series of Open Houses and Workshops with the public to review the preliminary Existing Conditions and Comparative Evaluation Methodology and Criteria that would be used to assess and compare the Alternative Landfill Footprints that are being considered as part of the EA. Open House #3 The purpose of Open House #3 is to provide the public with an opportunity to review the final Existing Conditions, assessment and comparative evaluation of the Alternative Landfill Footprints, and identification of a Preferred Landfill Footprint. In addition, WM will provide information about the ongoing EA process and related consultation activities. WM has scheduled Open House #3 events the week of November 8th–10th, 2011 for the following dates, times, and locations: Tuesday November 8, 2011 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. Carp Agricultural Hall 3790 Carp Road, Carp

Wednesday November 9, 2011 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. Kanata Recreation Complex 100 Walter Baker Place, Kanata

Thursday November 10, 2011 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. Stittsville & District Community Centre 10 Warner Colpitts Lane, Stittsville

A plan to expand Ottawa’s urban boundary by 850 hectares sailed through council on Oct. 12 with little fanfare. The matter, which has been ongoing since 2009 and had cost the city upwards of $400,000 in legal battles at the Ontario Municipal Board, got council’s approval without any discussion. However, Innes Coun. Rainer Bloess and Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri did dissent on the motion, which passed on consent without a recorded vote. Rideau-Rockcliffe Coun. Peter Clark led the charge against the expansion during a planning committee meeting on Sept. 27, arguing that the location of parcels of land to be included within the city’s urban limits shouldn’t be changed from staff ’s original 2009 recommendation. “If we’re doing things as ad hoc as we’re doing here, we’re not being responsible members of council,” Clark said at the time. But Clark wasn’t in his seat when the item came up at council last week, so he couldn’t pause the vote for a renewed discussion, and the rest of council swiftly passed the matter. The move was necessary after the

A parcel of land along March Road in Kanata North was the only sticking point during planning committee meetings on the urban boundary expansion, but that didn’t hold up the matter for city council, which passed the 850-hectare expansion with no discussion on Oct. 12. OMB ruled that city council should have sided with its staff, who suggested the 850 hectares in 2009. Instead, city council tried to limit the amount of developable land over a shorter time period to 230 hectares in a bid to rein in sprawl. The city anticipates more appeals to the OMB from developers whose land wasn’t included in the expansion.

The Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre (WOCRC) recently celebrated 25 years serving West Carleton, Kanata, Goulburn and Nepean. Serving over 18,000 clients means addressing a lot of different needs, offering varied resources, and creating a space where clients feel comfortable coming to. “It’s so welcoming here,” Gail Smith said, a communications officer at the WOCRC. “As it should be. People that come in here need to get that sense of safety, that sense of being welcomed.” Bright colours, big windows, and pleasing architecture greet visitors walking into the building located at 2 MacNeil Ct. in Kanata. Executive director Cathy Jordan said that most residents don’t realize the large number of services offered by the resource centre. “If you come in for an early learning program, or a seniors program, that might be all you know about us,” Jordan said. “But there is so much else that we offer.” As the cold weather approaches, the WOCRC’s Snow-Go program is gearing up, a City of Ottawa funded project that pairs contractors with seniors or people with disabilities who are unable to shovel snow from their driveways and walkways. Under the Snow-Go program, people pay for the shoveling service. With the Snow-

Executive director of the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre Cathy Jordan smiles in the lobby of the building. Go Assist program, community members who are unable to afford the services are reimbursed 50 per cent of the cost up to a maximum of $250 per season. “It’s all about helping seniors stay safely in their homes,” Jordan said. “In terms of health care, people think of hospitals, people think of doctors. But it’s those soft services like meals and transportation that we can offer them that really makes a difference. The more we can do that, the easier it is for them to stay safely in their homes.”

Local committee hosts meeting to discuss school overcrowding COURTNEY SYMONS courtney.symons@metroland.com

The Kanata North Accommodation Review Committee (ARC) will discuss their plans to combat school overcrowding at a public meeting on Oct. 20. Many possibilities have been proposed, including satellite sites, increasing the use of current school facilities, changing attendance boundaries to shift students around, changing grade structures and building a new school. One proposal would see grades 7 and 8 students sent to either the Earl of March Secondary School or West Carleton Secondary School to make room for more students in elementary schools. These options will be discussed at the meeting on Oct. 20, from 6:30-8:30 p.m. at the Earl of March at 4 Parkway in Kanata. Marie Cook is a member of the Kanata North ARC and made a presentation to the March Rural Community Association meeting held on Oct. 12 at the Kanata Old Town Hall on March Road. “We’re still in the process of finding out what to do,” Cook said. “It’s a big project and it’s not just going to go away. The head count will just keep getting higher.” With the implementation of all-day kindergarten, the number of students needing to be accommodated in local schools will only increase, she said.

Cook said that the idea for grades 7 and 8 students to attend West Carleton Secondary School is nothing new. The suggestion was made a couple of years ago and refused by the school. The proposal was given at the end of one school year to take place at the beginning of the next; Cook said the reason the high school declined was because they didn’t have enough leadin time. Current recommendations for transferring middle school students to high school wouldn’t take place until 2013 to give schools and students time to prepare. Cook also added grades 7 and 8 students would not use the high school facilities; instead new facilities would be built on site for the younger students to use. The last public meeting held by the Kanata North ARC was in June and four meetings have been held since by the committee. The parent volunteers that make up the committee have summarized and reviewed feedback from the June meeting, using the information to decide on the options that adhere most closely to the guiding principles the committee established when it was formed a year ago. The principles include minimal disruption to students, sustainable enrollment by grade, students attending the closest school to their community when possible, fiscal responsibility and looking after the good of all schools.

Children’s car safety a top priority BE CAR CARE AWARE CANADA Fall is here and each October brings National Car Safety Month. Canadians are urged to “look down the road,” both literally and symbolically, to address safety needs before they occur. “There is no greater act of looking down the road than thinking of your children and their vehicle safety needs,” said Patty Kettles, manager of marketing and communications at Be Car Care Aware Canada. Even a slow speed crash can cause severe injury or even death to children if they are not properly restrained. To ensure a child’s safety, Be Car Care Aware urges you to follow these simple steps: • Properly install child seats. • Ensure harness straps fit snugly around the child’s body. • A rear-facing infant seat should never be installed in a seat equipped with an air bag. • Canadian law says that the forward-facing child restraint must be secured to the vehicle frame using the tether strap at the top of the seat. • Booster seats are required for children under the age of eight or who weigh between 18-36 kilograms or who stand less than four foot nine. • A child can start using a seatbelt alone once any one of the following criteria is met: the child turns eight years old; the child weighs 36 kilograms; or the child is taller than four foot nine. • Children 12 and under should be properly restrained in the back seat, especially if there is a passenger-side air bag.

City wants to eliminate car-crash deaths, injuries Ambitious new road safety plan would add more red-light cameras LAURA MUELLER laura.mueller@metroland.com

In a week after a cyclist was killed after being â&#x20AC;&#x153;dooredâ&#x20AC;? on Queen Street, Ottawa revealed an ambitious plan aimed at completely eliminating collision deaths and serious injuries. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One traffic fatality or serious injury is one too manyâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the tagline of the new integrated road safety program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lofty goal,â&#x20AC;? admitted Kevin Wylie, the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s manager of traffic management and operational support. He was speaking to the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advisory committee on pedestrian and transit issues on Oct. 13, two days after 33-year-old Danielle NaĂ§u was killed by a passing vehicle after striking the door of another vehicle that opened as she was cycling down Queen Street. The proposed road-safety plan is actually an update of a strategy the city initiated in 2003, when it was a cutting-edge idea, Wylie said. At the time, the goal was to reduce by 30 per cent the number of road users killed or seriously injured by 2010. But city council questioned the planâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s effectiveness and stats supporting it were

So council ordered the plan to be updated a year ahead of schedule in 2009. The plan is only now coming back to city council, but Wylie said he thinks the strategy will be much more effective. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We needed to refocus and strengthen partnerships,â&#x20AC;? he said.

KANATA BEAVERBROOK COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION

Fall fertilizing and seeding helps turf to handle the stresses of winter and promote early spring green up

Beaverbrook is the original Kanata designed by Bill Teron over 40 years ago and winner of a number of awards. His concept was to build with the natural surroundings, not destroy them. Many of the original residents still live in the community, and over the past several years there has been an influx of new residents who were attracted to the distinctive design. At a recent meeting held by the Kanata Beaverbrook Community Association in which a proposed new development was presented, almost all of the attendees expressed concern that it was not in keeping with the Beaverbrook concept. To follow up on those concerns, the KBCA is holding a series of Saturday morning â&#x20AC;&#x153;coffee-breakâ&#x20AC;? sessions where concerned residents can meet one an-

A couple of ideas in the plan include increasing the number of countdown pedestrian signals in the city over the next two to three years, and increasing the number of red-light cameras across the city. The proposed road safety plan has five areas of emphasis.

The first, distracted driving is the number-one problem on Ottawa roads, Wylie said. Non-intersection, single-vehicle crashes (where the cause can often be assumed as distracted driving, whether the driver admits to it or not) are particularly a problem in the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rural areas, where high speeds and long, straight roads with deep ditches pose a higher risk. Young men are the most frequent culprits, Wylie said. Another focus area will be vulnerable road users, such as pedestrians, cyclists and motorcycle drivers, and collisions involving people of different age groups, such as young drivers, seniors, and the effect on children. Aggressive drivers will also be targeted, with emphasis on T-bone collisions, high-speed and turning crashes and read-end collusions. Ways to clear the way for emergency vehicles to help them respond faster will also be looked at. More than 690 people responded to an online survey, and dozens of people participated in a half-day workshop, including drivers, pedestrians, cyclists, taxi drivers and other stakeholders. City councillors will have chance to weigh in on the program when it is brought to the transportation committee on Nov. 2. On Nov. 17, the community and protective services committee will get a look, and on Nov. 21 the board of health will weigh in before council votes on the plan on Dec. 14.

Free e-waste drop off day

Contract extension means no transit LAURA MUELLER laura.mueller@metroland.com

More than 2,500 transit workers will not walk off the job this winter after the Amalgamated Transit Union and the city signed off on a one-year contract extension on Oct. 14. “I am pleased that the union membership has ratified this contract offer and I look forward to finalizing this agreement at the transit commission and council meetings this coming week,” said Mayor Jim Watson in a press release. “Ensuring that our commuters did not face another winter strike has been a significant priority for this council and we look forward to setting a positive framework to begin work on a long term contract starting this December.” The Amalgamated Transit Union 279 ratified the extension to the current collective agreement between the union and the City of Ottawa until March 31, 2012. The new agreement will give the union a two per cent raise for all members, which translates to about 40 cents an hour for most workers, covering the year of the extension from

April 1, 2011 to March 31, 2012. The union’s president Gary Queale said the agreement also contains a condition that union members would maintain the city’s upcoming light-rail system, creating about 150 new jobs. The agreement also contains a 0.5 per cent increase to the city’s contribution to the union’s pension plan, which covers 2,700 members. “We believe it’s a good offer,” Queale said before the agreement was made, adding that the negotiating team unanimously supported the offer. Before the agreement was made, Queale and Watson agreed that a one-year contract extension is better than having the current deal expire, and it would put off a potential work stoppage. But the final goal is to come up with a contract that covers a longer time period. “We felt that we could make some progress on a couple of different issues in the short term so we could get down to the longer-term agreement later in the year,” Watson said. “The long-term goal is to get a long-term agreement.” When asked if he thought the city and the union could agree

The Amalgamated Transit Union and the city signed off on a one-year contract extension on Oct. 14. to a lengthier deal during the next round of negotiations, Queale said he is hopeful. “But we’ll cross that bridge when we get there.” Negotiations on the next contract could start as early as Dec. 1, he said, adding the union local and the city have been hash-

ing out the one-year extension for about a month. Now, the city’s transit commission will also vote on whether to accept the agreement on Oct. 19, and council would have the final sign-off during a special meeting. - With files from Kristy Wallace

City seeks input from residents on waste vision LAURA MUELLER laura.mueller@metroland.com

The city is embarking on a plan to create a 30-year waste strategy, and it wants your input. Every Ottawa resident puts out an average of 360 kilograms of waste each year, and the city is looking at how to deal with that trash, recyclables and organics as it plans for the future. The Trail Road landfill won’t last forever, and the city needs to think ahead, said River Coun, Maria McRae, the chair of the city’s environment committee. “It’s important to have the road map of where we’re going to go,” McRae said. “If we don’t start talking about this today, we’re not going to be prepared for the future.” They city’s manager of solid waste services, Marilyn Journeaux, agreed. “It will provide a lot of clarity and direction as to where we’re going,” she said. “At the end of it, everything is on the table,” McRae added. “There is not one technology or one way of getting rid of waste that we’re not prepared to listen to.”

Some areas residents might tell the city to look at include incineration, recycling Styrofoam, or working with businesses and institutions to strengthen their recycling programs, McRae said. Residents can fill out a survey online at ottawa.ca/talkwaste or attend one of four “waste and recycling fairs” this month. The following consultations will each kick off with a free pancake breakfast at 8 a.m. and run until noon: • Saturday, Oct. 22 at the Bob MacQuarrie Recreation Complex • Saturday, Oct. 22 at the Walter Baker Sports Centre • Saturday, Oct. 29 at the Jim Durrell Recreation Centre • Saturday, Oct. 29 at the Stittsville Community Centre You can also fill out the questionnaire on Sunday, Oct, 23 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Rideau Centre on the second level, in front of Sears. Results of the consultation will be presented to the environment committee on Nov. 15. That will set the stage for a draft of the plan that will come forward in the spring of 2012. It could be put into action by the fall of 2012.

OCRI is on the move. Bruce Lazenby has just signed as on the new president and CEO of the Ottawa Centre for Regional Innovation, but that’s not the only change. OCRI will be moving closer to the city’s centre in the coming months. The economic development agency will make its new home at 80 Aberdeen St. in a building that is home to a few tech startups. “It’s got that technology, knowledgebased atmosphere,” Lazenby said, and that upstart energy is something he is looking to infuse OCRI with as it moves into the new space. The move comes a few months after city council approved a $5.5-million economic development strategy. The plan includes $1.4 million annually for entrepreneurship programs and $1.5 million aimed at expanding and retaining businesses in Ottawa. “We have a mandate for change,” said Lazenby. “A move and a new building with new direction, new funding, new partners – I think this just going to really reinforce that message that we are out there.” Lazenby, who took up his new post at the beginning of October, added “this (move) is part of the initiative to put in an incubator, which is very exciting and it’s something the city has needed for a long time.” A new addition to OCRI’s space will help with that. The Entrepreneurship Centre, which is currently located inside city hall, will join OCRI in its new space in Little Italy. The move comes as both part of a plan to bolster economic development in the city, as well as a compromise to provide space for OC Transpo during renovations

Bruce Lazenby is taking the helm of the Ottawa Centre for Regional Innovation. of the transit authority’s headquarters at 1500 St. Laurent Blvd. After Dec. 1, when OCRI will begin its move to 80 Aberdeen St., OC Transpo will occupy OCRI’s former offices at 2625 Queensview Dr. for the duration of the renovation. It’s great solution from Lazenby’s perspective. OCRI was planning to renovate its old offices, but moving to a new location will give the agency more space. It’s also more accessible because of the central location and proximity to transit, Lazenby said. City council still needed to give the final sign-off for the move. That vote was expected to pass at the Oct. 12 council meeting. Lazenby comes to OCRI from his post as chairman and executive coach with the Executive Committee, a global network of 15,000 chief executives in 16 countries. He is also a former software executive and military veteran.

JOHN CURRY STAFF The Canadian Football League’s Toronto Argonauts now have a framed rendition of the origin of the team’s name thanks to a collaboration between a Kanata resident and a Stittsville business owner. Doug McBeth, who has lived in Kanata since 1991 but who grew up in Toronto and is a lifelong Argonauts fan, teamed up with John Whitney of Stittsville Picture Framing and Studio Gallery, another Argos’ fan, to create the 34 inch by 21.5 inch framed explanation called “The Origin of the Argonaut Name.” He emailed a photo of the professionally framed finished product featuring an Argo-blue matting to the team. “When they saw this, they said bring it on down,” McBeth said. McBeth travelled to Toronto last Friday to present it to Argonauts’ head coach Jim Barker. Last Friday he attended an Argo practice at Erindale College in Toronto. With the team huddle at centre field, McBeth was brought onto the field, along with Argo public relations person Eric Holmes and a

video person. McBeth presented the framed project to coach Jim Barker and he admits that he was surprised at how appreciative the team was of the presentation. “Half the team shook my hand and thanked me and gave autographs,” he said. The video of the presentation will likely be shown on the Argo website while the actual framed project will probably be hung in the Argonaut office at Erindale College. McBeth is effusive in his praise of the work done by Whitney to create the finished product, saying that he just provided the poem about the origin of the Argonaut name that he had written in college 25 years ago along with a couple of Argonaut logos and Mr. Whitney did the rest. “He did a great job,” McBeth says about Whitney’s work on this project. Whitney admits that the job took a lot of time since it has eight openings in the matting and the work is double matted, meaning that there are two steps in creating each opening. In addition, a v-groove provides a white accent line around the whole piece, a feature which

But he is quick to note that the poem about the origin of the Argonauts’ name is all McBeth’s work. “He is the author; I am the composer,” Whitney says about the project. The Argonaut name lies in Greek mythology, specifically the story of Jason and the Argonauts and his search for the

golden fleece. “That’s Greek mythology,” McBeth says, telling how Jason wanted to find the golden fleece and so he built a boat whose crew he named the Argonauts. That is why the Toronto Argonauts’ logo of today features a boat. McBeth notes that the Toronto Argonauts’ name is the oldest name for a sporting team in North America.

The framed “The Origin of the Argonaut Name” features a poem telling the story of Jason and the Argonauts and the tale of the golden fleece, written in a four line verse format covering three pages. Besides the poem and two Argonaut logos, the framed project includes windows noting that the project was donated to the Toronto Argonauts by Doug McBeth in September 2011 and that it was assembled by John Whitney of Stittsville Picture Framing. McBeth thinks that the framed project featuring the story of the origin of the Argonaut name will prove useful to the team since it has a lot of American players who may not be familiar with where the team names comes from. McBeth got together with Whitney on the project after he had visited the Stittsville Picture Framing shop on Stittsville Main Street in downtown Stittsville on other business related to electrical work and energy efficiency. He happened to mention to Mr. Whitney what he had in mind as a project and his fellow Argo fan jumped on board. The rest is history.
