MacLaren wins CMM riding ‘I think voters have shown us that the race wasn’t really that tight’

“We did it!” announced Progressive Conservative Jack MacLaren to his supporters after he was declared the winner of the Carleton-Mississippi Mills Riding on Thursday night, Oct. 6.

MacLaren took 26,805 votes, 50 per cent of the popular vote with 294 of 300 polls reporting in the Oct. 6 provincial election.

MacLaren’s supporters were confident as they watched the results pour in at Sixty Four Hundred Celebration Centre in Stittsville on election night.

MacLaren strolled into his election party to the tune of “We Will Rock You” by Queen. Over 200 people cheered him on in a luxurious setting of candlelit tables and a room lit by chandeliers.

“I think we’ve made a little bit of history,” MacLaren said during his acceptance speech. “There were a few bumps in the road but we had great people and it’s been a lot of fun always.”

“This is a great day for conservatism,” he said.

“The people of Carleton-Mississippi Mills have said yes to conservative values and conservative philosophy.”

MacLaren beat out Liberal candidate Megan Cornell, New Democratic Party candidate Liam Duff, Green candidate Scott Simser and Family Coalition Party candidate Cynthia Bredfeldt.

MacLaren said he never doubted he would win.

Roch Carrier funds effort to build school in Africa JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

In just two years students at Roch Carrier Elementary School were able to raise $10,000 to build a school in Sierra Leone.

Teachers Sue Levy-Rick and Kathy Paunins worked the fundraising efforts into the curriculum for their grades 2 and 3 classes.

“The students accomplished this goal through many curriculum-related fundraisers,” said Paunins. “The whole school community supported their endeavors and together their goal was achieved.”

The money raised by the classes goes to Free The Children, a network of children helping children through education, which was founded by a then 12-year-old Craig Kielburger in 1995.

The money raised by Roch Carrier supports the Brick by Brick program which helps to build schools in impoverished areas. Several children in Sierra Leone will now be able to attend school, thanks to the donations, said the school board in a press release.

Levy-Rick and Paunins classes will continue their fundraising efforts in the hopes of building another school in the future, said Levy-Rick.

“Our big goal was to have the children reaching out,” she said. “All the activi-

ties support our curriculum.”

The classes raised funds through a number of learning-based objectives: • Students created art cards based on Canadian artists Dawn Oman, Ted Harrison and Maud Lewis for the art component.

• Students learned about language used in media advertising to design posters, create jingles and school announcements to promote the sale of candy-grams and movie nights as part of language studies.

• Students helped to count the money raised, tying into the math curriculum.

• Students learned about the importance of sharing, compassion and reaching out to those in need as part of character education.

• Students studied different communities in the world and the inequities in other areas for social studies.

“Other people in other parts of the world are not as rich as us. They don’t get an education,” said Grade 3 student Amogh Thungathurti, last year.

Paunins said she and Levy-Rick wanted the students to learn about the opportunities, or lack thereof, in other parts of the world.

“We wanted them (the students) to think about others and not just themselves,” she said.

Police to buckle down on motorists who don’t buckle up in October OTTAWA POLICE The city’s selective traffic enforcement program (STEP) will focus on those who fail to buckle up or comply with child car seat requirements, as well as drivers who fail to obey stop signs in October.

In Ottawa, from 2006 to 2010, 26 people were killed, 50

suffered life-threatening injuries and another 202 were injured as a result of not wearing vehicle occupant restraints. Of the 26 people that were killed, 20 were male.

At different times in the month, Ottawa public health nurses and the Ottawa police will be setting up roadside spot-checks at locations in the city to ensure that motor vehicle occupants are wearing their seatbelts, and that

child car seats and booster seats are suitable and properly installed.

Disobeying stop signs - including rolling stops - is also a serious issue on Ottawa roads.

In 2010 alone, 1,618 collisions at stop sign-controlled intersections resulted in six deaths and 492 injuries - 23 of them life-threatening.

Residents debate closing Morgan’s Grant street Over 100 residents turned out for the public meeting to discuss the possible permanent closure of Statewood Drive at Terry Fox Drive on Sept. 26.

The Morgan’s Grant road was closed shortly after the Terry Fox extension was opened due to a number of safety concerns, said Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson.

She said the meeting was “tense” with residents stating their views on whether or not the road should be re-opened.

“Those on both sides of the issue expressed concern for safety on all streets, including Statewood, Brady (Avenue) and Ipswich (Terrace),” she said. “Whatever the solution will be, residents supported traffic calming measures on busy local roads.”

If the road does get re-opened, Wilkinson said new safety measures would have to be added, such as extending the barrier so drivers can’t make illegal turns and adding a speed bump.

She said she’s received around 88

emails from individuals on the issue of Statewood, with 42 in favour of the closure, 45 who wanted to see the road reopened and one who was undecided. “(This shows) the clear division on this issue,” said Wilkinson, who added every submission will be forwarded to city staff for consideration. “It’s such an emotional issue.”

City staff members Marc Magierowicz, from the planning department, and Kerry-Lynn Mohr, from the traffic division, were present at the meeting to hear the comments and respond to questions.

Staff will conclude their evaluation, which will then be forwarded to the planning committee to make a final decision.

“Staff has delegated authority to decide to close the road and I will not be interfering with that authority,” said Wilkinson. “If staff determines it should be opened, then a report will be sent to the Planning Committee where the decision will be made.”

There is no date for when a final decision will be made, said Wilkinson.

Julie Gourley, the driving force behind the Kanata Environmental Network, was recognized for her volunteer work in the community at this year’s Ottawa EcoFair on Sept. 17.

The Ottawa Eco-Stewardship Award was presented by Maria McRae, chair of the city’s Environmental Committee. Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson, who has first-hand knowledge of Gourley’s passion, leadership and commitment to protecting the environment and promoting conservation and sustainability, was on hand at the award presentation as well.

“Julie’s sustained effort with the Kanata Environmental Network has resulted in a high-level of awareness in this community on important environmental issues, and more importantly, has helped many residents take positive action in their daily lives to light-

en their ‘ecological footprints’”, stated Marianne Wilkinson. “This award is well-deserved.”

For the past six years Gourley has been at the helm of the volunteer-run organization, Kanata Environmental Network. The organization’s aim is to share practical, eco-friendly solutions for a sustainable future with Kanata residents through educational seminars, newsletters, its website, film screenings, special events, and other outreach activities in the community.

Under Gourley’s leadership, approximately 40 events, all free and open to the public, have been hosted on a range of economically-feasible strategies and practical ways for suburban residents to reduce their impact on the environment.

Environmental and sustainableliving topics highlighted by the nonpartisan and non-political group include: food sourcing and security,

wildlife-friendly gardening, the value of suburban trees, renewable energy, energy conservation in the home, ecoretrofitting a home, ground source heat pumps, green-commuting and walkable communities, over-consumption, waste and recycling, and alternatives to plastics in the home. Much of the information presented at these events is available on the organization’s website: http://www.kanataenvironmentalnetwork.com.

Gourley’s passion and dedication to promoting sustainable living and communities is fuelled by her optimism for what is possible for Kanata.

When commenting on what the award represents, Gourley said, “Kanata has the potential to become a leading community in sustainability in the 21st Century. Our community is filled with tech-savvy, well-educated innovators and business people. A bright green future is ours to make happen.”

Cops put cuffs on for fundraiser A member of the Ottawa police service has come up with a unique way to raise funds for three causes, including cancer.

“Cuffs for a Cause” was a pilot project started in August 2011 by Const. Carolyn Botting, a 14-year veteran of the Ottawa Police Service.

“I saw coloured handcuffs being used by American officers and realized this could be an opportunity to raise money for a good cause,” said Botting.

She chose to donate to breast cancer, prostate cancer and the Ottawa Police Association Benevolent fund, which assists officers and their families.

The Cuffs for a Cause initiative invites qualified police officers to purchase a pair of coloured handcuffs, which can be used in addition to police issue cuffs.

The coloured cuffs are identical to police issue cuffs.

The pink colour represents breast cancer, yellow cuffs are for Ride for Dad and blue handcuffs support the Ottawa Police Association benevolent fund.

Only law enforcement officers who have their current use of force qualifications can purchase the handcuffs.

They cannot be sold to the public; however, if you’d like to make a donation to any of the causes you can contact Botting.

Voters show wear and tear

T

he weather was sunny. The date was set years ago. Advance polling options were more numerous than ever.

And still, voter turnout in Ontario on Oct. 6 hit an all-time low.

Apathy, that most heinous of political sins, abounded in Ontario. Dalton McGuinty narrowly missed a majority re-election and will have to settle for a 53-seat minority government.

But with less than half of eligible voters marking an “X,” we have to wonder if his government really represents the will of the electorate.

McGuinty’s Liberals picked up 37.62 per cent of the popular vote.

But since only about five million voters hit the polls, only about 22 per cent of the approximately 8.5 million eligible voters favoured a Liberal government.

Officially, the turnout recorded on Oct. 6 was 49.2 per cent.

That was down from the previous all-time low,

which was set in – wait for it – 2007, during the last provincial election.

There was one bright light in this apathetic mess.

Improved advance polling and other options to make casting a ballot more accessible were successful: 650,000 Ontarians voted before election day.

At least Ontario is still doing better than the Northwest Territories, where 35 per cent of eligible voters cast ballots in a recent election. But Manitoba’s general election last week yielded 57 per cent turnout. PEI had an astounding 76 per cent turnout – and that was low for the Maritime province.

So what is the issue here?

Are the leaders too boring? Did the issues and platforms fail to resonate with citizens? Have people lost sight of their civic duty?

Voter turnout can be a pretty accurate measure of how much we care. Here in Ontario, after three elections – municipal, federal and now provincial – in less than 365 days, it’s probably safe to say that voters were simply tired of caring.

Whatever you do, don’t go downtown

O

ne of the uglier little stories of the year is the one about Air Canada deciding to keep its employees out of downtown Winnipeg. The airline, saying that “several downtown locations are susceptible to crimes of violence and opportunity,” decided that its employees would overnight at hotels near the airport.

So much for supporting a city that has supported Air Canada over the years.

For Winnipeggers that was nasty enough, considering that the city has a crime rate below many well-known U.S. cities Air Canada visits, but the really nasty part was to come. That was the bit in the company email about instances of public intoxication being connected to “approximately 1,000 displaced people from rural Manitoba.” Winnipeg people knew what that meant: it meant native people forced from their homes by flooding.

As if that was not enough, now they don’t get a chance to associate with Air Canada pilots.

Air Canada has apologized in a classic example of the non-apology apology.

“It appears that certain inferences are being drawn from the contents of a recent internal bulletin relating to accommodation for flight crews on overnight layover in Winnipeg,” said a corporate KANATA

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town email. “Air Canada wishes to state categorically it had no intent to cause offence to any individual or group and apologizes if it inadvertently did so.”

In other words, we didn’t do it, but we’re sorry if you think so.

The story can be viewed on many levels, such as the economic one, where a city is trying desperately to rebuild its downtown and succeeding little by little when a big company kicks it in the teeth.

The Winnipeg Free Press tried to have a little fun with the story, asking its readers whether they would recommend a downtown hotel to out-of-town friends.

Almost 10,000 of them replied. A third of them said downtown was unsafe and their friends should stay at a suburban hotel.

The statement, “There’s some nice hotels downtown, but stay inside after

dark,” was supported by a larger group, 38 per cent, and 29 per cent said downtown is fun: let’s have a night on the town.

When you take into consideration that the suburbs of any big city, including Ottawa, contain people who are afraid to go downtown and never do, it seems that the majority of Winnipeggers are not unduly alarmed.

Maybe that’s because they know that there’s more harm can come to you inside the hotel than out – room service, mini-bars, ironing boards that fall out of the closet, not to mention overly enthusiastic folks in the hotel bar who don’t happen to be displaced people from rural Manitoba.

On a somewhat more serious level, it’s possible to see Winnipeg as the front line in a struggle between cities and corporations. What if more big companies decide to keep their travelling employees at the airport inn, rather than allowing them to go downtown? What if the practice spreads to more cities than Winnipeg? It could happen. There are places in Ottawa you wouldn’t want to go to late at night with your pilot’s uniform on.

How can we the fight back? The obvious answer is to launch elaborate public relations campaigns on how safe their

downtowns are. But such campaigns will inevitably fail. All it takes is one well-publicized mugging to blot the city’s reputation.

Maybe, instead, the answer is to be proactive. This would involve taking a vote at city council meetings to decide which big companies are welcome downtown. The rest have to stay at the airport. If they want to come downtown, let them beg. Or pay. Think of the revenue potential.

The effect will be to make downtown more attractive, because it is forbidden.

True, bar and restaurant owners might object at first, but eventually, visitors will flock to downtown because they know they are in no danger of being accosted by Air Canada vice-presidents.

Students from Stephen Leacock Public School walked, biked and used green modes of transportation for the annual IWALK campaign on Wednesday, Oct. 5.

Grade 8 students Laura Tran and Minoli Dias walked a little more than three kilometres to school as part of International Walk to School Month.

“I think it keeps you healthy and you can have fun with your friends,” said Laura about why they walk to school some days.

“It’s helpful for the environment because you’re not taking a car,” added Minoli.

The annual campaign was started in 2000 to give students, parents, teachers and community members an opportunity to be a part of a global event to encourage the benefits of being active.

“It’s just a healthy lifestyle,” said Carrie Marr, co-chair of the student council. “It gives us a chance to give back to the com-

munity and think about the environment and the impact we make on it.”

Students who needed to take a yellow school bus were invited to run fitness laps in the back of the school.

“It gives them an opportunity to feel like they’re a part of the day,” said Marr.

Jennifer Pirri’s Grade 7 class won the Golden Shoe Award for the most laps around the track.

Ricardo Pereira and his son Nicholas took part in the IWALK campaign for the first time this year.

They live about a 25 to 30 minute walk away so they decided to compromise: they drove part way to the school, parked the vehicle and then walked the last 15 minutes of the commute.

“It gives you exercise,” said Grade 3 student Nicholas, who added he enjoyed the walk.

The school had bananas, apples and water available for students who participated in the campaign.

Sewer work to start next month in Kanata south Sewer work in Kanata South is set to begin next month.

The City of Ottawa is scheduled to complete sanitary and storm sewer maintenance on a number of streets in Bridlewood and Glen Cairn during the month of November.

Water eruptions during this time are rare but they can happen due to a buildup of pressure, said Kanata South Coun.

Allan Hubley

Reduce the clutter! Sell it in the Classifieds.

“During this period, it is important to keep the toilet lids down at all times when not in use,” said Hubley.

Pressure from the cleaning can create a vacuum and blowback through house fixtures, such as sinks and toilets.

Any resident who experiences a blowback of water is asked to contact the city immediately at 311 or by email at 311@ ottawa.ca.

For a complete list of the affected streets, visit the councillor’s website at www.councillorallanhubley.ca.

Cornell promises to push Kanata agenda BLAIR EDWARDS blair.edwards@metroland.com

Courtney Symons photo

MacLaren gives his victory speech at his election party in Stittsville on Oct. 6.

MacLaren coasts to big win in CMM riding MACLAREN, from 1 “I think the voters have shown us that the race wasn’t really all that tight. We have very strong support and we sensed that all through the campaign when we were knocking at doors,” he said. “We had strong support from day one.”

He said this support came from the whole community, not just rural areas, and that he he’s made more friends than ever before during the campaign – not enemies.

“From the very beginning we tried to run a clean, honest campaign,” said Brad McNulty, communications director for MacLaren’s campaign. “We never mud slung, we never cut down the other candidates.

We wanted it to be about policy and ideas and I think we did that.”

MacLaren takes over the riding, known as a stronghold for the federal and provincial Tories, from 34-year veteran MPP Norm Sterling.

He defeated Sterling in a bitter nomination battle last spring.

“What a ride,” said Shirley Dolan, a team leader of MacLaren’s campaign, referring to complications and challenges the campaign faced. “This campaign has given new meaning to the expression, ‘When the going gets tough, the tough get going’.”

Cornell rang in the election results at Papa Sam’s restaurant in Briarbrook.

She said she is still going to work on the issues she campaigned on such as overcrowding in schools, reviving the hightech sector and bringing a health care hub to Kanata.

“We’re just going to have to work harder, so cut me a little slack if it takes me a little longer to fix high-tech in this riding,” she

said.

Cornell said she’s hoping to be reappointed to her previous roles in the Kanata Chamber of Commerce and other community groups she was a member of before running for MPP. “Every time I spoke, I was talking about local issues,” she said. “He (MacLaren) only ever talked about the Conservative Party platform.”

Cornell said she was unsure if she would run for office again.

Duff celebrated at Tommy’s Restaurant and Bar in Kanata, and said he was happy with the election results.

“We did a great job, we’ve moved up a lot since the last provincial election,” he said.

“It’s a step in the right direction. We’re only moving forward after this one.”

The next step for Duff is to hunker down and finish school at the University of Ottawa, but he said he will be around for the next election.

At MacLaren’s victory party, his many supporters seemed to spend as much time huddled around the buffet table as the television while the numbers came in.

George Kozlovski from West Carleton was there to show his support for MacLaren.

“Hopefully he will do a little more than Norm Sterling did,” he said. “He (Sterling) was non-existent in the community; that was the biggest problem. If he would have been existent in the area, he wouldn’t have been cut out.”

Annette Bows, also from West Carleton, said she was at the party for one reason.

“We’re gonna watch Jack win,” she said long before the results were in.

“Traditionally, it’s always been a Conservative riding, and I can’t see that chang-

ing. I certainly hope it doesn’t.”

The youngest supporters of the evening were siblings 15-month-old Austin, and two-year-old Hannah Lilly.

As for their political affiliation, their father Tom Lilly said, “Well, they are wearing blue I guess,” referring to their matching denim jackets.

Lilly said that the kids would be up past their bedtime, “but they’re pretty good partiers.”

During the election campaign, MacLaren promised to fight government interference with small businesses and cut red tape.

He said a Tory government will reduce the “regulatory burden” at Queen’s Park by 30 per cent.

MacLaren, a 62-year-old resident of MacLaren’s Landing and a farmer in West Carleton, holds a bachelor of science in civil engineering from Queen’s University.

He is a past president of the Ontario Landowners Association and the Carleton Landowners Association as well as a director of the region’s Federation of Agriculture.

Carleton-Mississippi Mills is a provincial riding created in 2007 using 58 per cent of Lanark-Carleton and 18 per cent of Nepean-Carleton.

The riding includes the town of Mississippi Mills, West Carleton, Kanata, Stittsville and Goulbourn.

The affluent eastern Ontario riding has a big manufacturing centre, including a cluster of high tech companies in Kanata.

It is known as a bedroom community for federal civil servants in an area where the average household income is $102,188 (data from 2007).

With files from Blair Edwards

Liberal candidate Megan Cornell put on a brave face after losing to Progressive Conservative Jack MacLaren in the Carleton Mississippi Mills riding.

“We have a Liberal government in Ottawa!” she told a crowd of more than 30 people during her concession speech at Papa Sam’s, a Briarbrook restaurant, on Thursday night, Oct. 6.

Ottawa will send a number of Liberal MPPs to Queen’s Park, including Premier Dalton McGuinty, Phil McNeely, Bob Chiarelli and Yasir Naqvi, she said.

Cornell finished second in the riding with 16,861 votes (34.8 per cent), up from 2007 when she registered 16,776 votes (31.9 per cent) in the provincial election.

New Democratic Party candidate Liam Duff finished third with 5,765 votes (11.9 per cent), followed by Green Party candidate Scott Simser, who took home 1,641 votes (3.4 per cent.

Cynthia Bredfeldt, from the Family Coalition Party, took 484 votes (1 per cent).

Cornell said she detected an appetite for change during the campaign.

“We ran such a positive campaign, and I have absolutely no regrets of how things went,” Cornell said. “There was perhaps a feeling for change here by having an incumbent gone, but unfortunately that change was directed at the party and not the individual.”

Carleton-Mississippi Mills has long been known as a stronghold for provincial and federal Tories, but the Liberals hoped to draw support from disaffected Tories following the ouster of 34-year veteran MPP Norm Sterling by MacLaren during a bitter nomination battle last spring.

She was endorsed by Matt Muirhead, the former executive director of the Progressive Conservative riding association, who said MacLaren represented a right-wing “Tea Party” faction that had taken over the riding association.

Cornell accused MacLaren of being a right-wing Conservative who campaigned solely on the provincial party platform, not speaking to issues within the riding.

Danielle Robinson, president of the Sens Foundation, is joined by city councillors and Ottawa Senators officials for the groundbreaking of the Rink of Dreams at city hall on Laurier Avenue on Oct. 5. The 1,161-square-metre refrigerated rink will provide outdoor skating opportunities even when ice conditions on the Rideau Canal are poor. The Sens Foundation will be covering much of the $1.2-million cost of the project, with the city contributing $250,000 towards the construction, plus the cost of operating the rink.

Construction was slightly delayed but the rink is expected to be open by November.

McGuinty wins third term with ‘major minority’ EMMA JACKSON AND LAURA MUELLER emma.jackson@metroland.com

Liberal party leader Dalton McGuinty managed to secure a third term as premier in Ontario following the Oct. 6 provincial election, winning a 53seat minority that was only one seat short of his coveted third majority.

In his late-night victory speech, the premier refused to concede a minority, suggesting “We may not know for several days what the results will be in all the ridings,” and that those tight races could yet give him his third majority.

Tim Hudak’s Progressive Conservatives scored 37 seats, adding 12 to their ranks, and the New Democrats took 17, adding seven.

What appears to be a minority minority could still turn into a majority over the course of McGuinty’s third term.

Jonathon Malloy, political science professor at Carleton University and an expert on Ontario politics, said that with a “major minority” of 53 seats, the Liberals could attract members from another party to cross the floor in order to secure a majority.

“With 53 seats, you have to think that you only need one person; one Belinda Stronachtype figure,” Malloy said, referring to the former federal Conservative who joined the Liberal caucus in 2005. “Both Mr. Hudak and Ms. Horwath will have to be a little sensitive to the fact that if they anger just one member, they could get that person

to cross the floor to the Liberals and it could change a lot of things.”

McGuinty was greeted like a celebrity at his campaign wrap-up at the Chateau Laurier downtown Ottawa, where a tense but giddy crowd gathered in the elegant ballroom to watch the results roll in. Spontaneous cheers rose up now and then as the Liberals hit 54 seats time and again, with seat counts flipflopping between 53 and 54 for several hours.

McGuinty’s speech was gracious and hinted at the party’s close brush with collapse this election.

“Ontarians are telling us, ‘We are placing our trust in you but we expect you to work even harder, listen more than ever, give us nothing but your best every day. But most of all we demand that you lead.’ Because we are Ontario and that’s what we do. We lead,” he told the crowd.

The tight race didn’t seem to resonate with voters, however, since the election yielded the lowest voter turnout in Ontario’s history.

Malloy said the all-time low turnout of 49.2 per cent this year (down from 52.8 per cent in the 2007 provincial election) is “very concerning.”

“Here is a great, competitive race, with the outcome so uncertain, and yet large numbers of people don’t turn out,” Malloy said, adding that research hasn’t yielded a clear answer of what factors contribute to low voter turnout.

Supporters young and old waited patiently throughout

the evening, riding out a partial power outage at the hotel and mingling with media until the premier finally showed up around midnight. Ottawa South federal MP David McGuinty was circulating through the crowd, with nothing but good words for his brother.

“I think his campaign was flawless,” David McGuinty said.

“I think what you saw in this campaign in terms of his leadership is what you get as a person.

He is thoughtful and sincere.

As a brother I worry about him because he carries the weight of this responsibility. He’s hardwired that way.”

Dalton McGuinty, 56, has won five consecutive elections in Ottawa South since his father and former Ottawa South MPP Dalton Sr. died in 1990. After his second win in the 1995 provincial election, McGuinty began his bid to become leader of the party, which he achieved against the odds in 1996. He became premier in 2003 and was held the post for eight years.

He was born in Ottawa and attended St. Patrick’s High School before earning a bachelor degree at McMaster University and studying law at the University of Ottawa. He and his wife, Terri, have four adult children.

McGuinty grew up with nine siblings.

He contested the Ottawa South riding against Progressive Conservate Jason MacDonald, New Democrat Wali Farah, Green candidate James Mihaychuk, and Party for People with Special Needs candidate John Redins.

Her campaign promised to bring a health hub to Kanata, reduce overcrowding in schools and revive the high-tech sector.

Cornell promised to keep working on those issues – just not as MPP. “So cut me a little a slack if it takes a little longer to fix high-tech in this riding,” she said.

The 37-year-old Kanata Lakes woman said she planned to resume her work with the Kanata Chamber of Commerce and other community groups, which she stepped down from when she declared her candidacy.

“I’ll have to ask people to reappoint me to the roles I had,” she said.

Cornell said she didn’t know if she would run again in Carleton-Mississippi-Mills during the next provincial election.

Councillors given funds to buy traffic calming measures laura.mueller@metroland.com

At a recent transportation committee meeting, some councillors were having second thoughts about an idea to put more control over local traffic-calming measures into the hands of each councillor.

But in the end, the committee stuck with a plan to give $30,000 to each councillor to deal with neighbourhood traffic calming within his or her ward, for a total of $690,000 starting in 2012. Those measures include speed bumps, pedestrian crossings and adding speed-limit signs.

The change is an effort to tackle a bulging list of traffic calming measures. The city already has 462 projects on the list and 79 outstanding requests for studies, which would amount to $7 million worth of work.

The idea was championed by Innes Coun. Rainer Bloess, who said the new neighbourhood traffic calming approach gives councillor options to address issues within neighbourhoods.

“You’re giving us the tools to address the very local concerns we care about,” he said.

In June, the idea met some resistance from Capital Coun. David Chernushenko and Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane

Deans, who asked city staff to report back on how the new system would replace the city’s current practice, called “area traffic management.”

Deans and Chernushenko were concerned that councillors would make political decisions that could negatively affect traffic flow, rather than practical solutions put forward by the city’s traffic engineering experts.

Councillors Peter Clark (Rideau-Rockcliffe) and Bob Monette (Orleans) added their voices to the list of unconvinced councillors during an Oct. 5 meeting transportation committee meeting, echoing Deans and Chernushenko’s concerns about engineering expertise.

Clark said traffic calming isn’t just a local issue, it’s everyone’s problem, and that’s something city staff should be overseeing.

“You’re saying, ‘Here’s $30,000 councillor, run off and play, and then we as staff won’t have a problem,’” he said.

John Manconi, the city’s general manager of public works, said there will still continue to be situations in which city staff could override a councillor’s idea, particularly if it could have a broader impact on the road network.

“You pay us to be your advisors and we will continue to be your advisors,” he said.

Cycling fixes at intersections on hold

613-254-7390

The city is putting out a plea to improve cycling lanes at intersections on hold until the province comes up with design guidelines for cycling facilities.

Those new provincial guidelines are anticipated to be released by the end of 2012 as part of an update to the Ontario Traffic Manual, according to a city report.

But the city’s roads and cycling advisory committee say that’s too little, too late. The group asked councillors who sit on the city’s transportation committee to commit to consistent treatment of cycling lanes at intersections in the meantime.

All the advisory committee wanted is for the city to follow its existing guidelines, said Brian McClean, a member of the advisory committee.

He said that ensuring a cycling lane is marked at an intersection and continues through the intersection with a lane or sharrows, arrows that indicate for motorists to share the lane with cyclists, on the other side would make the roads safer for both cyclists and motorists.

“As a driver, when entering an intersection with a cyclist, I like to know where the cyclist plans to position themselves,” McClean said. “If they enter the intersection from a bike lane and there is no indication of where

Colin Simpson, project manager for the Laurier segregated cycling lanes, tests out the accessibility of the lanes using a wheelchair they should be positioning themselves on the other side, then I have one more uncertainty to deal with.”

The transportation committee followed city staff ’s advice by agreeing with the principle of what the advisory committee recommended, but deferring any action on the issue until after the provincial guidelines are released next year.

Deputy city manager Nancy Schepers said that was the best course of action to avoid creating a “local anomaly” that could conflict with the provincial rules.

“We will continue to improve and make it safe,” assured Vivi Chi, the city’s manager of transportation planning.

A new five-year plan for arts, heritage and culture will help position Ottawa to become a globally recognized creative city, the plan’s architect hopes.

Lilly Koltun, the head of the steering committee that devised the new plan, said Ottawa is at the cusp of being recognized as one of the country’s cultural hubs. “The idea of putting Ottawa on the international map as a world creative city – everything is leading up to that,� said Koltun, a Manor Park resident. “We think Ottawa has every right to be there.�

And with Canada’s 150th birthday approaching in 2017, the new cultural plan for the city will help position Ottawa to take advantage of that anniversary spotlight, she said.

The plan to make that happen – the city’s culture plan renewal – is very simple, Koltun said: “Support the people.�

There are already many creative people doing lots of interesting things in Ottawa, Koltun said. Now it is the city’s job to make it easier for them.

That is reflected in the wording of the plan, which characterizes the city as a “facilitator� or co-ordinator of cultural activi-

ties.

But that same concept troubled some of the approximately 50 arts advocates who came to city hall on Oct. 3 for one of the last open houses in a series of citywide consultations on the plan.

Sharon Jeanotte, a member of the city’s arts, heritage and culture advisory committee, worried that making the city into a “convener� of arts and culture would translate into less funding.

The plan also includes ideas for adding new facilities, including a major redevelopment of the Arts Court downtown, but some advocates wanted assurances that they could expect a corresponding increase in operational funding to make sure the money for running programs wouldn’t be spread thin among existing and new facilities.

Another idea proposed was to add a city historian. The plan already suggests bringing back the city’s poet laureate.

But overall, many people at the open house said they were pleased with the overall direction of the plan, including past Heritage Ottawa president David Fleming, who has been involved with the plan’s renewal from the start.

“I was happy to see that a lot of things that came up (during the pre-consultation process) actually appeared in the plan,” he said.

Some of those things include an idea for the city to proactively tackle heritage designations for important buildings, instead of leaving citizens to fight for them when they are under threat from new development.

“That makes the heritage community look obstructionist,” said Fleming, who resides in the city’s south end.

Also included in the plan is a suggested new framework for the commemorative naming process, something that has come under fire in recent months with controversial proposals to name or rename Robertson Road in Bells Corners, Wellington Street and the city’s new central archives building.

Another proposal is to require international competitions for large city projects, something Fleming said could “help prevent another Lansdowne.”

The plan still needs city council’s sign off, which is expected to happen in early 2012.

With that in mind, Fleming said he “doesn’t have any illusions” that all the ideas in the new cultural plan will make it through council.

“From what I’ve seen with this council, we still have a long way to go,” Fleming said.

The city’s selective traffic enforcement program (STEP) will focus on those who fail to buckle up or comply with child car seat requirements, as well as drivers who fail to obey stop signs in October.

In Ottawa, from 2006 to 2010, 26 people were killed, 50 suffered life-threatening injuries and another 202 were injured as a result of not wearing vehicle occupant restraints. Of the 26 people that were killed, 20 were male.

At different times in the month, Ottawa public health nurses and the Ottawa police will be setting up roadside spotchecks at locations in the city to ensure that motor vehicle occupants are wearing their seatbelts, and that child car seats and booster seats are suitable and properly installed.

Disobeying stop signs - including rolling stops - is also a serious issue on Ottawa roads.

In 2010 alone, 1,618 collisions at stop sign-controlled intersections resulted in six deaths and 492 injuries - 23 of them lifethreatening.

Each month since 2004, STEP has been profiling and enforcing two initiatives that target specific traffic safety priorities.

These initiatives support larger integrated road safety program (IRSP) public awareness and enforcement campaigns.

The new owners Swift and Tim Gadde, both fitness enthusiasts (Swift is an avid squash player, Tim a certified Personal Trainer) are happily breathing new life into the old club while carefully preserving its community

roots. An eclectic membership, with fitness enthusiasts from every walk of life and in every age group, go a long way to maintaining that neighborhood feel. Bringing a friend to the club is also made easy with the variety of packages the club offers.

The Canadian has the added attraction of having the only squash courts west of the Greenbelt and offers a squash ladder, seniors round robins and squash lessons for adults

and youth. The club also fields teams in the Ottawa District Squash Association’s Open City League.

“I wouldn’t hesitate to call it a first class squash facility,” says Paul Hough, a 16 year member and squash enthusiast.

Squash and atmosphere aside, The Canadian is a complete fitness facility with free weights, resistence machines, a cardio studio and a large Fitness Studio with a cushioned hardwood floor that protects members from unnecessary stress-related injuries that can occur during a hard workout. It has a full schedule of fitness classes including bootcamps, cardio workouts, yoga, pilates and spinning and quite a few unusual combination as well.

“If you’re in for fitness, rehab after an injury or accident or you’re a high performance athlete, the Canadian will meet and exceed your needs,” says Mark Pankow, a 10-year member.

Other amenities at the club include the Pura Vida Bistro that serves smoothies, supplements and light meals prepared by hand from fresh ingredients on the premises; a registered massage therapist, nutritionist and personal trainers.

It may seem like a subtle difference, but it’s one that members are acutely aware of, and appreciate.

Talks with NCC, lack of funding delay river clean-up Stalled talks with the National Capital Commission are delaying a project to keep sewer overflows out of the Ottawa River.

The delays are adding to costs, the city’s environment committee heard on Sept. 20 during an update on the progress after the first year of the ambitious Ottawa River Action Plan, intended to clean up the water quality of the river.

The top priority is reducing combined sewer overflows. A large part of that involves building overflow storage pipes for the areas of the city that have combined sewers, but that can’t happen until the city gets the funding it needs and it reaches agreements with the NCC. One of the storage tunnels will run west-to-east from LeBreton Flats through the

downtown core to the Keefer regulator in New Edinburgh.

Another tunnel would connect to the east-west tunnel by running north-south along Kent Street, and a third tunnel would start at the Keefer regulator and end at the Robert O. Pickford Environmental Centre.

Much of that land is owned by the NCC, and Dixon Weir, the city’s manager of environmental services, said talks with the NCC about using the land have stalled.

Those delays have left environmental studies and the tunnel design process about eight months behind, Weir said.

“We’re in a delay day by day in terms of where this project is going,” Weir said.

River Coun. Maria McRae, the chair of the environment committee, worried the delay could turn into years.

But a representative from the NCC said he had not been

told the discussions were holding up the city’s plan and that much of the delay comes from the NCC waiting on the city to provide information it needs in order to make a decision.

“The fact that we could jeopardize the project – that was not known,” said Francois Lapointe, the NCC’s vice president of capital planning.

Lapointe said the NCC is “speaking on behalf of all Canadians” and trying to ensure the city and NCC’s development plans for LeBreton Flats aren’t compromised by the proposed tunnel. The NCC is also worried about a potential odour emanating from a station that the city wants to locate in Confederation Park, a popular tourist site across from city hall.

FUNDING NEEDED Reducing combined sewer overflows is expected to cost $237 million over the five years it will take to implement.

It is by far the largest part of the Ottawa River Action Plan, which is comprised of 17 projects, including the completed realtime control system as well as constructing separate sewer systems and improved water-quality monitoring.

Also behind schedule is a wet-weather infrastructure management plan, because the city staffers assigned to that project have instead been working on the west-end flooding investigation.

Upgrades to the Robert O. Pickford En-

water are expected to be done by December.

Funding constraints are another issue, according to a city report. The federal and provincial governments have contributed $66 million, but five of the 17 action plan projects are now expected to exceed their original budget estimates.

The whole project is now expected to cost $260.33 million, of which $88.46 million has been spent to this point. That means $171.87 million is expected to be spent on the remainder of the project, which is supposed to end in 2013. The original bill was expected to be closer to $251 million.

JOHN KELLY ACQUIRES COMFORT KEEPERS® OF OTTAWA Local Company Provides in-Home Comfort to Area Seniors

Nikon offers their most advanced and precise lenses only in Japan or in Canada exclusively at IRIS. Nikon I-View offered nowhere else on earth. Experience better vision.

OTTAWA, (October 4, 2011) – Comfort Keepers Ottawa is pleased to announce that local business and community leader, John Kelly, has acquired majority interest in the company. Comfort Keepers is an in-home non-medical care provider that has been servicing Ottawa seniors and other home bound individuals on an hourly, daily or weekly basis since 2005.

According to Mr. Kelly, the acquisition allows him to combine his avocation of community service with his role as a corporate executive, “Comfort Keepers is a business that brings tremendous improvement to the quality of life of many Ottawa seniors.” Comfort Keepers in-home packages can include personal care services, companionship, meal preparation, light housekeeping, grocery shopping, incidental transportation, laundry, and more.

“Our work helps Ottawa seniors live safely and comfortably in their own homes as long as possible while bringing peace of mind to their families,” according to Kelly. In-home care can also help defer and diminish one of the biggest challenges facing the health system of Eastern Ontario: the need to provide alternate levels of care for seniors, says Kelly.

John Kelly’s involvement in Comfort Keepers Ottawa is the most recent community-oriented initiative in his 40-year career as an innovative volunteer and private sector entrepreneur. In 2000 Mr. Kelly served as campaign chair of the United Way; that year he was recognized as High Technology Citizen of the Year for the city of Ottawa. Provincially he was conferred the Master Entrepreneur of the Year Award for Ontario in 1998, the year for which he also won the award as the Ottawa Business Journal Most Respected CEO for the city of Ottawa. He has served on the boards of the Queensway-Carleton Hospital Foundation, the Community Foundation of Ottawa, and the Ottawa Senators Foundation. He was also chair of the Dean’s Council of the business school of the University of Ottawa and has been a member of its Board of Governors.

It was in his capacity as partner with Murphy Business that he met the founders of Ottawa’s Comfort Keepers, Dean and Shari Westman, who remain as an integral part of the company.

Shari Westman was among the recipients of the 2010 Ottawa Business Journal’s Forty Under 40 Award and is a previous winner of the Nepean Chamber of Commerce Businesswoman of the Year Award.

Make your home “physically fit” and reduce energy costs

(NC)—Your home’s energy costs can drain your hard-earned dollars.

It’s a simple scientific fact: heat moves towards cold. In winter months, it’s drawn to the cold glass of windows to escape a home. Heat lost this way accounts for 10 to 25 percent of heating bills. Thankfully innovations from Hunter Douglas, Canada’s leading manufacturer of custom window fashions and a pioneer in energy efficiency at the window, may help provide you with savings.

Sue Rainville, the company’s marketing director, offers the following easy tips to make your home physically fit for the winter cold: Weatherize – Seal up holes, weather-strip doors and insulate attic floors.

When the fireplace is not in use, keep the damper closed tightly.

Insulate – Don’t just insulate the attic. Add insulation at the window with window fashions that have high energy ratings.

Duette Architella honeycomb shades provide superior energy efficiency.

They have a patented construction consisting of a honeycomb nestled within a honeycomb. This creates three honeycomb pockets to trap the air. Certain Duette Architella shades can reduce heat loss through windows by up to 40 percent in winter.

Improve and Maintain Your Mechanical Systems – Service and clean your gas or oil furnace at least once a year and change or clean furnace filters once a month during the heating season. And, invest in a programmable thermostat that lets you set temperatures for different times of the day. Studies have shown that turning the heat down from 22 to 18 degrees C (72 to 65 degrees F) for at least eight hours a day can reduce heating bills by 10 percent.

The popular notion that the higher you set your heater’s thermostat, the faster your home will warm up is not true. In reality, it takes the same amount of time for the temperature to reach 21 degrees C (70 degrees

F)) whether the thermostat is set at 21 or 32 degrees (70 or 90 F).

Setting the thermostat all the way up only increases your heating costs.

Also, remove air-conditioning units in the fall and winter because they invite drafts. Or, use an insulated jacket on the exterior.

Watch Your Windows – In winter, on the rare sunny day, open your window coverings to let in the solar heat, but be sure to close them at night. Hunter Douglas makes a solar energy sensor that can be mounted directly to the window pane to control motorized window fashions.

In ‘winter’ mode, the sensor raises shades at the appropriate Add insulation at the window with window fashions that have high energy ratings, such as the instance to allow solar energy Duette Architella honeycomb shades from Hunter Douglas used on the windows above in combination with a sheer Duette fabric for optimal light control. into the room for warmth.

An award-winning Beaverbrook author and journalist has been nominated for an Ottawa Book Award for his latest work.

Roy MacGregor, a regular columnist at The Globe and Mail, received a nomination for his non-fiction book “Northern Light: The Enduring Mystery of Tom Thomson and the Woman Who Loved Him.” “It’s always very satisfying and very rewarding,” said MacGregor about being nominated. “I’ve always felt if you get a nomination or an award embrace it, run with it, be delighted with it. If you don’t… just shake it off and move on.”

Four other Ottawa authors have been nominated for the English non-fiction award: • Tim Cook, author of “The Madman and the Butcher: The Sensational Wars of Sam Hughes and General Arthur Currie”.

• Charlotte Gray, author of “Gold Diggers: Striking it Rich in the Klondike.”

• Lawrence Martin, author of “Harperland: The Politics of Control.”

• Eric Enno Tamm, author of “The Horse that Leaps Through Clouds: A Tale of Espionage”,” The Silk Road and the Rise of Modern China.”

“I sure think I’m in pretty fancy company with that nomination,” said MacGregor, who is friends with two of the other nominees. “It’s going to be a very rare occasion that I’ll be cheering as much for them as well as me.”

“Northern Lights” takes a look at famous Canadian artist Tom Thomson, the man who inspired the formation of the Group of Seven and died just as his artistic talent was being discovered.

With a mystery surrounding his death and burial, the book uses forensic science to prove where Thomson’s body is buried; in either Canoe Lake or Owen Sound in Ontario.

“The great mystery has been where does Tom Thomson’s body lie? The book would convince any jury as to where he actually lies, where his grave is,” said MacGregor, who has won the Ottawa Book Award twice before. “It’s an incredible story about a cover up…About lies and deceit and protecting an innocent.

And I think also very much a story about

a child that was left behind, a pregnant girl friend that was left behind and what became of that child.”

MacGregor collected interviews with people over the course of 35 to 40 years.

“He’s an iconic figure himself because he had such a romantic aura about him,” said MacGregor. “You’re talking about a James Dean kind of character. Those who die young as their talent is still being discovered there’s a sense of tremendous loss.”

His interest in Thomson started with a family connection: Thomson was engaged to a woman, Winnie Trainor, who lived down the street from MacGregor’s family. She wasn’t related to the family but her sister was married to one of MacGregor’s uncles.

“She didn’t have any other family, so we became sort of her family,” he said.

The Ottawa Book Awards recognize the top English and French books published by local authors in the previous year in the categories of fiction and non-fiction.

Thirteen authors have been nominated this year.

“These awards recognize the literary talents and creativity of our many local authors, who have distinguished themselves through their outstanding works,” said Mayor Jim Watson in a press release.

The awards for English fiction and non-fiction, and French non-fiction will be awarded during a ceremony on Oct. 27 at the Library and Archives Canada. This year, there weren’t enough qualifying entries for French fiction.

Each winner will receive a $7,500 prize and all finalists will be given $1,000.

Ottawa orienteering festival stages championships DAN PLOUFFE There may not have been anyone more thankful for the warm weather and sunny skies on Thanksgiving weekend than the organizers of the Ottawa Orienteering Festival, who staged the Ontario championships in the west end of Ottawa Oct. 8 to 10.

“The weekend was fabulous,” Ottawa Orienteering Club president Randy Kemp says. “When you have weather like this, all you need to do is show up to pull off a good event.”

Around 170 athletes competed in classes ranging from 12-and-under to 75-andover, bringing in orienteers from near and far. Participants from clubs in the Golden Horseshoe, Kitchener-Waterloo, New Brunswick and western Canada regions attended, while several others from the U.S. and Europe also made the trip.

Kemp credits good organization, the area’s fall colours, and the Carp Ridge course – which received recognition from the international orienteering federation for a world-class leg – as reasons why many travelled so far for the event. “(Carp Ridge) is very, very popular with the orienteers primarily because it’s just so technical, open and interesting,” explains Kemp, highlighting that the sprint competition in the Beaverbrook area of Kanata around Earl of March High School was also successful.

“We were a little worried about that venue, but it came together.

“There’s so much that goes into putting on an event like this, so when it comes together, it’s very exciting for the club.”

Several local orienteers distinguished themselves amongst the international field. Merivale Gardens resident Jeff Teutsch earned his best result in the long distance event with a third-place finish en route to second overall in the combined standings for the sprint, middle and long competitions.

“It was my worst performance of the

“It’s super challenging terrain, so I guess the good news for me was that everyone was having trouble with it.”

Participants begin with just two tools – a compass and a detailed map of a given area, generally in the wilderness, that shows controls (or flag checkpoints) that they must find throughout the course.

Using their compass to line up features on the ground with the path they choose to take along the way, it’s the competitors’ goal to make it through the course as fast as possible.

There are usually three events during highlevel competitions – a sprint distance that covers under three kilometres (less for different age levels), a middle (around five kilometres) and a long (10 kilometres), which could take top athletes in the neighbourhood of an hour-and-ahalf to complete.

Teutsch’s Ottawa Orienteering Club teammate Eric Kemp mispunched at one station in the long distance race and was disqualified to spoil his second- and fourth-place results in the middle and sprint events.

Molly Kemp was the top Canadian in the elite women’s sprint event, finishing fifth behind a pair of U.S. competitors. The Grade 12 Nepean High School student also placed fifth in the middle and long competitions.

A Kanata man is the first owner of the first fully electric, mass-produced vehicle in Canada.

Bridlewood resident Ricardo Borba drove the car – the allelectric Nissan Leaf – home on Friday, Sept 23.

He said he made the decision to buy the car after watching the coverage of the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico last year.

“I thought is there any alternative…a way of living our lives without supporting this industry,” he said as he drove the almost-noiseless car around the community.

He and his wife Giselda usually trade their vehicles in every 10 years. Last year, their minivan was due for an upgrade. But Borba saw that an all-electric car was being produced and would be available in 2011 so they decided to wait the extra year.

“It fit our lifestyle,” said the Brazilian man who charges the car every night through a special plug in his garage that is powered by the same electricity that runs through his house.

His family still has the use of their other car for long trips.

The Leaf is used for commuting in town.

Borba said he saves an average of $1,200 a year in gas just from driving back and forth to his job at IBM. The company offers a charging station, but Borba said he tries not to use it because he would be charging at peak times for hydro usage.

“It’s the same as looking at the gas gauge,” he said about people worrying they’ll run out of power. “You plan ahead… you’re not going to run out of energy.”

He said it takes about seven hours to fully charge the car at his home dock. The Leaf has an average of 160 kilometres to a fully charged battery or 120

kilometres if the majority of travel is highway driving.

“Everyone believes electric cars are slow,” he said. “People expect it to be nerdy; it’s not.

“It gives you a lot of speed.

You’re not left behind in traffic.”

The car has a lot of high-end features, such as a smooth and quiet ride, a GPS, a rear-view camera, heated seats and steering wheel, Bluetooth and an Internet hook-up.

He said if he forgets to plug in the car, it will send him an email or text notification to his phone.

“There’s a lot of technology behind it,” said Borba, who added he expects to keep the Leaf for 10 years before trading it in for a newer model.

“I’m happier than I expected,” he said. “It’s been a lot of fun.”

Borba set up a blog where interested people can follow his day-to-day usage of the car. He can be found at www.borba.ca.

October is national library month MICHELLE NASH michelle.nash@metroland.com

October is Canadian Library Month (CLA) and libraries across Ottawa and Canada will be celebrating with a number of special events.

In its fifth year, Canadian Library Month celebrates everything about libraries and will run all across Canada.

Here in Ottawa, both schools and the Ottawa Public Library will host a number of events all month long. Kelly Moore is the executive director of CLA and said the month’s celebrations are about more than just borrowing a good book.

“Libraries offer so many services and this month will help showcase what your local library is all about,” Moore said.

The theme for this year’s celebration is Your Library – A Place I am Bound, which is a space theme Moore said appealed to the committee. The association had hoped to kick off the event at the Canadian Aviation and Space museum on Oct. 4, but had to cancel due to complications.

For Moore, it does not change the importance of the month.

The events libraries will hold are up to each individual branch.

“The libraries determine that themselves – readings, displays, public events.

Each library will be offering book readings, guest speakers and special events, you just have to check out your local library to find out what is happening,” Moore added.

The event started in 2006 and Moore said the celebrations have proven to be such a success because it allows individuals to truly get to know their own branch and also, by becoming reacquainted, Moore added people are learning libraries can be more than just a building that houses books.

“People are realizing that their library is offering more and more options beyond books,” Moore said.

An avid library borrower herself, Moore said there are now libraries which offer theatre opportunities; it can be viewed as a movie rental store, a music store and even a place where new Canadians can learn about their new neighbourhoods.

“There are endless opportunities in a library these days,” Moore said.

The month-long celebrations are made possible through provincial and federal partnerships with branches and organizations across the country.

“There is definitely more engagement, more libraries taking part, and we are producing a lot of materials,” Moore said.

Most importantly for Moore and the CLA, this month allows all the libraries in all the cities and towns in Canada a chance to thank their many clients.

“It is really good to see the corporation that goes on with all the partners and to watch all the libraries celebrating what it is they are all about.” Moore said.

Moore encourages everyone to check out what their own local branch has in store for the celebratory month.

Peewee Knights defeat Lions 32-18 FOOTBALL, from 28 MOSQUITO The Bel Air Lions defeated the Knights by a score of 38-0 at the KRC field on Monday.

The Knights exploded for 102 total running yards against the number-one ranked mosquito team. Patrick Massia and Liam Quinton were the main contributors. Tyler Rehman made some great throws, two of which were caught by Antonio Albery. Despite the success, the Lions clamped down on defence by not allowing the Knights to score.

Richard Goren and SherryThurig star in the comedy, ‘Maggie’s Getting Married’ at the Kanata Theatre, which runs from Nov. 8 to 12 and Nov. 15 to 19.

Kanata Theatre to stage Maggie’s Getting Married KANATA THEATRE

R0011138523

In this hilarious romantic comedy, you’ll join the Duncan family as they prepare for the wedding of their daughter.

Maggie’s Getting Married, is an example of the sparkling wit and human insight of Canada’s most prolific writer of comedies-that-matter, Norm Foster is Canada’s funniest and most produced playwright and this comedic gem will have you doubled over with laughter from beginning to end.

Join the Duncan family who has gathered together for a party the night before the wedding of their youngest daughter, Maggie.

Maggie’s older sister Wanda has just returned home for the wedding with her actor boyfriend in tow to meet the groom for the first time. When the groom, a real estate salesman, finally arrives, Wanda discovers that she knows him a little better than Maggie would like her to and chaos ensues.

Director, Dorothy Gardner, has cast

a zany cocktail of actors in this snappy, sexy piece in a perfect mix of just-overthe-top. Linda Webster as the lovingly controlling mom, Tara Scisson as the sexpot sister, and Tim Finnigan as the gynophobic actor, and the more grounded in reality, Richard Groen as the seemingly wholesome groom-to-be, Ian Stauffer the introspective, middle-aged dad and Sherry Thurig as the sweet, sincere Maggie.

This funny and heart-warming romantic comedy is full of unexpected twists.

The end result is a fun evening of firstclass theatre for less than the price of a movie and popcorn.

Kanata Theatre’s production of Maggie’s Getting Married runs in the Ron Maslin Playhouse, 1 Ron Maslin Way, Nov 8 to 12 and Nov. 15 to 19.

Curtain is at 8 p.m. sharp. Individual tickets are $18. Reserve tickets call the box office at 613-831-4435. For information about subscriptions visit www.kanatatheatre.com.

Take steps to protect your family from fire CITY OF OTTAWA Mayor Jim Watson officially declared Oct. 9 to 15 Fire Prevention Week in Ottawa, with an emphasis on reminding residents about the steps they can take to prevent fires in their homes. Fire Prevention Week is marked annually across Canada and this year’s theme is “Protect your family from fire.”

“About 90 per cent of residential fires are preventable, that’s why it is important to take precautions,” said Mayor Watson. “Being fire smart starts with having a household conversation about how to be best prepared in case of an emergency.”

During Fire Prevention Week, Ottawa Fire Services will be throughout the community with Sparky the Fire Dog, information display tables and fire education presentations. This Saturday, representatives will be at all Home Depot locations in Ottawa from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. with fire trucks and information tables.

“Our firefighters are always ready to answer the call if you need them, although it is important that safety start

at home with you,” said Coun. Mark Taylor, chair of community and protective services committee. “This is a great opportunity during Fire Prevention Week to have that conversation at home with your families and make sure you have taken the necessary precautions.”

In recent years, Ottawa Fire Services has worked to reduce the number of homes without a working smoke alarm from 35 per cent to just 10 per cent. Fire Prevention Week is a great way to remind residents not only to get smoke alarms, but also to test and maintain them.

“With a number of fires in the recent months, we are reminded about the devastating effects a fire can have on families and their communities,” said Kim Ayotte, acting deputy chief of community standards, education, planning and innovation. “Test your smoke alarms once a month, change your smoke alarm batteries twice a year and practice your family’s escape plan.”

For a more information about Fire Prevention Week activities, as well as how to protect your family from fire, visit ottawa.ca/fire.

Bruce Lazenby, a former software executive and military veteran, is taking the helm of the Ottawa Centre for Regional Innovation as OCRI gets set to move to a new office in Little Italy.

Change of place, face for OCRI LAURA MUELLER laura.mueller@metroland.com

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 start-ups.

“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 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.

OCRI has high hopes for Lazenby’s impact on the organization. An OCRI press release states that Lazenby will lead the way for “cultural change” to make OCRI “a new, more inclusive and collaborative” organization.

SPECIAL TO THE KOURIER-STANDARD A group of committed, self described science nerds wants to keep Kanata on the leading edge of, well everything.

It is ready to promote a new program of public engagement with science.

“Being curious means being competitive” says Val Collins the co-founder of The Kanata Group, a special interest consortium looking to build on the innovative culture already existing in “Silicon Valley North”.

Science cafés have begun to crop up

across Canada.

The first café was held in England in 1998, and the movement spread to Europe, South America, the U.S. and Australia. Most are held free of charge and are loosely affiliated through an international umbrella organization called Café Scientifique.

Different from traditional lecture series, Science Cafés encourage two way communications, insisting on an informal, come as you are atmosphere.

“Great food and a good beer have historically helped in solving all sorts of world

problems” said Collins, and are good for scientists too.”

The public forum gives a scientist the opportunity to hear other perspectives and access issues perhaps not previously considered in their research.

The Kanata Group has partnered with one of the most exciting new restaurants in the area – ZAK`s Diner on Terry Fox Drive, Kanata north.

“The owners, Kate and Doug Rutledge really get it” says Collins. Kate`s father and sister are scientists and she understands what a powerful tool knowledge

can be.

Kanata is celebrating National Science and Tech Week with the kick-off of their science café series starting with The Secrets of the Electric Car presented by Allan Poulsen.

So come on down to ZAK’s in Kanata , on Oct. 17 at 7 p.m. and grab a cup of coffee or a glass of wine, or a famous milkshake and explore the latest ideas in science and technology. Science Cafés - good to the last drop.

Follow us for the time being at: www. kanataenvironmentalnetwork.com.

JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

The grades 7 and 8 students at Kanata Montessori School completed a nine-day camping trip in Quebec on Sept. 16.

The yearly Odyssey Trip is an educational and bonding experience for the two grades as part of the school’s curriculum – an opportunity for creative learning outside the classroom.

“It has to be physically, psychologically and emotionally challenging,” said vice principle Carrie Whalen. “It really bonds the group. They come back as this really cohesive, charged group ready to get to work.”

Jakob Mayer, a Grade 8 student, got to spend his birthday on top the Jacques Cartier Mountain – one of two peaks the students climbed – watching the clouds race below and sharing chocolate bars.

It was his favourite part of the trip, he said.

One of the guides brought up a pair of binoculars and the students were able to spot caribou in the distance.

“You could watch a cloud

go beneath you,” said Grade 8 student Michael Cardy. “It was amazing.”

At Jacques Cartier Park, the group spent two days on the water, learning how to navigate level one and two rapids, said Katiana McKesey, a Grade 7 student.

“It was a little challenging,” added Grade 7 student Sarine Karamanokian. “But it was pretty fun.”

The Grade 8s helped the Grade 7s navigate the waters without the help of the guide.

“We went all in a raft by ourselves,” said Sarine.

The experience helps the students gain confidence and learn how to work together to reach an objective, said Whalen.

“We had to make sure we got down the rapids,” explained Michael. After that, students got to try swimming in a whirlpool created by the rapids.

At the campsite where the group set up its tents, the students had a chance to see some wildlife up close.

“We saw a female moose with two of her babies with her,” said Sarine.

The students also spent a

“It’s still school so there was still classroom time in the forest,” said Whalen.

Now back in the classroom at the Kanata South school, the students are working on a project related to the Odyssey Trip – looking at the reasons

caribou are going extinct, said Michael.

“The students really stepped up to the challenge,” said Whalen.
