MAIN STREET COMMUNITY SERVICES
Every day is voting day in Aviva competition JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF For the current municipal election, voting day is Oct. 25. For Main Street Community Services in Stittsville, voting day is every day. That’s because Main Street Community Services is involved in the 2010 Aviva Community Fund competition, trying to become one of the competition’s winning ideas and sharing in the one million dollars up for grabs. It is all going to be determined, at least in the competition’s first two rounds, by the votes of Canadians as they will be choosing a favourite idea from the many submitted and voting for it. Round one voting began on Monday, Oct. 4 and will end on Friday, Oct. 15. The top ten vote getters in the three categories – large ($100,000 to $500,000), medium ($25,000 to $100,000) and small (up to $25,000) – will get to move on to the second round. Winners in the second round will also be determined by the votes of Canadians. Winners of the second round will then move on to the third and final round which is judging by a panel
of judges. The winning ideas will then be announced in Jan., 2011, sharing the one million dollars in prize money. Main Street Community Services has submitted the idea of acquiring a larger facility from which to run its programs. The idea, called “A Place of Our Own,” can be found at http://www.avivacommunityfund. org/ideas/acf5532. Main Street Community Services needs larger premises in order to be able to do more, offering more programs for special needs youth, more community programming and more new programs such as a program for helping transition special needs youth to adulthood.

tition is easy to do online and there’s even a place for comments about the idea. And watching the voting numbers add up creates an excitement all its own. “This is like a fun thing,” Ms. Macdonald says about the process. Main Street Community Services is a registered not-for-profit charitable agency specializing in providing programs for special needs individuals and their families. In 2009, Main Street Community Services provided services and programs for 250 families in the greater Ottawa area. Yet it is only scratching the surface of the need for such services and programs. The lack of space is preventing Main Street Community Services from doing more. It runs a day program and an after-school program and also provides camps through the year, such as a six week summer camp and camps at March Break and Christmas. Enlarged premises will allow Main Street Community Services to accommodate the needs of so many more in need of such services, all based on a philosophy of celebrating individuality, encouraging uniqueness and ultimately bringing out the best in each and every person. This is done through community based programming that promotes inclusion, tolerance and understanding. But right now votes are needed. Every vote, registered every day of the competition, can make a difference and help the hundreds of special needs children who are in need of a place to call their own. Aviva Canada Inc. is the Canadian arm of the United Kingdom based Aviva plc. Aviva Canada is the second largest property and casualty insurer in Canada.

Granted, in keeping with Main Street Community Services’ philosophy of serving youth that no other program would serve due to their complex needs, today there is one child in a wheelchair who attends the program, gaining access by being carried up the stairs. In addition, Main Street Community Services must vacate the premises in the summer, meaning that it must run its summer program out of another rented location. Last year Main Street Community Services heard about the Aviva Community Fund competition late in the game and submitted an idea for funding of its summer camp which did not get selected. But this year Main Street Community Services decided to enter the large idea category and go for funding to help obtain new, larger premises. The current premises limit what we can do and how many can be involved, Darlene Macdonald, who handles public relations and fundraising for Main Street Community Services, says. “We just have to get the voters,” she says, noting that this is something that the people of the community can achieve if they rally behind the idea and just vote online. If the Main Street Community Services gets through the first round of voting by finishing in the top ten vote getters, then it will be on to the second round, with the community once again needed to mobilize its support for the idea. Ms. Macdonald acknowledges that it is difficult for an organization like Main Street Community Services to raise funds, particularly the amount needed for a new facility.

ville District Lions Club presented two Helen Keller Fellowships. Recipients were Lions Bernie St. John and Jim Broomer. The Helen Keller Fellowship award was established in 1988 by the Board of Directors of the Lions Homes for Deaf People to honour outstanding Lions, Lioness and Leos through the Multiple District “A” to which the Stittsville Club belongs. The award is named after Helen Keller, one of North America’s most famous blind people, who challenged the Lions to become the Knights of the Blind at the International Lions Convention in 1925. The Lions have since become an organization that strongly supports the blind and visually impaired. The presentation of two Helen Keller Fellowship awards this year brings to 15 the number of such awards presented by the Stittsville District Lions club.

House fire causes $375,000 damage SPECIAL TO THE NEWS A home completely engulfed with thick, heavy smoke greeted Ottawa Fire Service firefighters on an early morning fire call last Sunday, Oct. 10. Firefighters were called out at 6:32 a.m. to a house fire on Dwyer Hill Road at Fallowfield Road in Goulbourn. The fire had been called in by a neighbour who noticed smoke coming from the red brick, Ontario vernacular-style home. Despite
the heavy smoke conditions, firefighters entered the building to conduct a search for any occupants inside. Fire was already in the walls and floors throughout the structure, with parts of the floor already beginning to collapse. However, once fire crews were able to confirm that no one was in the home, they immediately pulled out of the structure. The firefighters then fought the fire from outside the building, using ladders and the aerial
ladder truck from Stittsville station 81. The fire was considered under control by 8 a.m. A total of 40 firefighters and ten vehicles were at the scene. It was later learned that the two adult occupants of the home were out of town at the time of the fire. The home suffered an estimated $300,000 in damage and probably will have to be re-built. There was another $75,000 in damage to contents. Cause of the fire is now under investigation.

A simple vote could lead to ‘A Place of Our Own’ Aviva Insurance has come up with a real winner, in our view. It is the Aviva Community Fund competition in which one million dollars is going to be shared by a number of winning entries. This is the second year that the competition is being held and what makes it so appealing is that it is the votes of ordinary Canadians who will largely determine what ideas will get part of the million dollars up for grabs. A brief run-through of the numerous ideas submitted in the competition reveals projects from across Canada, with many, many of them very worthy of support. One of the ideas for the current competition is one submitted by Main Street Community Services right here in Stittsville. Called “A Place of Our Own,” it is a proposal for major funding to help the organization move to larger premises so that it can offer its specialized programs and services to more and more special needs children and their families. Main Street Community Services has grown to have quite a reputation in the Ottawa area for the compassionate and inclusive way that it provides programs for some of the most challenged youth in our society. These programs are proving
AT
FORUM IN
to be not only much needed but very successful. But space is restricting its growth as it is using every area of its current premises on the second storey of the former Stittsville Public School (now Frederick Banting Alternate Program) on Stittsville Main Street. In other words, it wants to do more and help even more people than the 250 families helped last year but it cannot because it has simply outgrown its current premises. It needs new premises where it has space to grow its programs and help even more special needs youth and their families and also launch a much needed program to help special needs youth transition into the adult world. Obtaining significant funds through the Aviva Community Fund competition will allow Main Street Community Services to find a new, larger home. But to do so, Main Street Community Services needs your help. The Main Street Community Services idea will only progress through the first and second rounds of the competition by receiving votes from people. This can be done easily, online, but it takes a certain amount of self-discipline because it means voting once a day over a number of days. Only one
vote can be recorded from a person each day that the voting is open. The first round of voting ends on Friday, Oct. 15. But if the Main Street Community Services idea finishes in the top ten in the first round, it moves ahead to the second round and once again votes will be needed. So, help support Main Street Community Services and the marvelous work that it does in providing much-needed services and programming for special needs youth. Take the time and vote online for its project, “A Place of Our Own.” Simply go to http://www.avivacommunityfund.org/ideas/ acf5532 and cast your vote. And while you are on the site, take a look at the many worthwhile projects from all across Canada that have been submitted for the competition. It truly shows just how much of a need exists all across the country for such funding. Aviva Insurance deserves credit and thanks for undertaking this initiative and providing funding to what will undoubtedly be a most worthwhile group of winning ideas. Hopefully and with your support, one will be the idea submitted by Main Street Community Services of Stittsville.

SC Awareness gives $7,000 to SOS Children’s Villages SPECIAL TO THE NEWS SOS Children’s Villages, the largest orphan serving charity in the world, has been given a helping hand by the SC Awareness program at South Carleton High School in Richmond. SC Awareness program representatives handed over a donation of $7,000 to SOS Children’s Villages last week. This was the total which SC Awareness raised for SOS Children’s Villages at the school in the 2009-2010 school year. SC Awareness is a student directed program that raises funds
for a selected charity by holding fundraising events such as fashion shows, a 30 Hour Famine and dances. SC Awareness tries to raise awareness among students about societal issues, both local and international, that should be of interest to teens and society as a whole such as poverty, war and violence. Students involved with SC Awareness give presentations and create displays to promote awareness by other students. SOS Children’s Villages, which was founded in 1949 and which has been active in Canada since 1969, focuses on long term

MERGER, SEE 12
Stittsville News - OCTOBER 14, 2010
But it is not what the new WOS will have that is the driving force behind the merger. Rather, it is what the new WOS will be able to do that has seen this merger recommended by the boards of both the GSC and the KSC. “We believe this is going to enhance the soccer experience,” GSC president Brian Mason told about 45 people who attended an information meeting about the proposed merger in Stittsville on Wednesday, Oct. 7. This information meeting and another in Kanata were held prior to this week’s merger vote in order to respond to any concerns or questions from members of the existing soccer clubs. In a recent letter to members of both clubs, the two presidents, Mr. Mason and KSC president Andrew Pope, outlined the reasons for the proposed merger as follows: “We believe that there is a better way to deliver soccer to our members; a better way for us to train coaches; a better way for us to collaborate; a better way to mentor players; a better way to strengthen our community; a better way to grow the sport we love.” Other benefits outlined include a better way as well to deal with the challenges that both clubs have been facing in recent years, namely the recruitment of volunteers, retention of high caliber athletes, managing the higher costs of doing business and providing an optimal training environment to foster a love of the game. This has all come about since the GSC and KSC have begun collaborating in recent years for representative or competitive teams. This experience has shown that the program has benefitted from such a partnership but even more importantly it has revealed that both clubs share a vision about soccer in the area. Both clubs share a commitment to the principles of “True Sport,” a national movement which encourages belief in fair and ethical sport. Both clubs also believe in delivering quality soccer programming according to the principles of “Long Term Player Development (LTPD.” Add this shared vision to the fact that a merged club will provide more options to a larger number of players at both the recreational and representative (competitive) levels and that a merged club will be able to offer better quality programs, recruit more volunteers and help grow soccer in the community. A transition team has been working on the proposed merger and has advanced preparations as far as possible pending a vote of the membership of both clubs on the merger idea. If the merger vote fails with the members, the two existing clubs will continue. If the merger vote succeeds, then the merger work will begin in earnest, with the dissolution of the existing clubs and the creation of the new merged entity. This work is estimated to take up to two and a half months to complete.
At the Stittsville information meeting, a formal presentation was followed by one and a half hours of questions from those in the audience. It was stated that in the first year after the merger, if it goes ahead, there will be no change in where existing teams play or the leagues in which they play. In other words, Goulbourn Soccer Club recreational teams will continue to play in the Goulbourn Lanark Soccer League for the 2011 season. However, a committee will be formed which will look at what is best moving forward. There is a feeling, though, that for both Kanata and Stittsville recreational teams, there is a desire to play close to home and not travel any more than is absolutely necessary. Registration for the 2011 season will be done the same way as the past season for Goulbourn soccer families. GSC president Brian Mason stated that any increase in registration fees for the coming year will not be because of the merger but because of other cost factors such as an increase in the city of Ottawa’s rental fees for fields. “The increase will be due to the city, not the merger,” he said. It was explained that the new merged club will be solid financially as the Goulbourn Soccer Club has $466,000 in total assets including $360,000 in cash while the Kanata Soccer Club has $800,000 in assets including $584,000 in cash. This year the Goulbourn Soccer Club had an operating surplus of $37,000 while the Kanata Soccer Club experienced an operating deficit of $82,000. However, it was explained that this deficit was a result of some exceptional circumstances such as costs associated with the West Ottawa Soccer partnership and GST payments. It was stated that this merger, though, is a marriage of equals and this equality is recognized in that the initial board for the new merged entity will have the same number of members from Goulbourn and Kanata. It was recognized that best practices will be adopted in all aspects of the operation of the new merged WOS including recreational teams, adult programs and referees. “Goulbourn does have a hell of a reputation for referees,” Mr. Mason said, noting that differences in referee pay rates and other matters will have to be sorted out with the merger. Even KSC president Andrew Pope, a referee himself, acknowledged that Goulbourn’s refereeing situation is better than the Kanata setup. One of the focuses of the merged organization in the coming years will be the implementation of pilot projects aimed at getting coaches more comfortable coaching in game situations and also in running practices. Initial discussions about the new WOS included the West Carleton and Almonte Soccer Clubs as well.

Rachel’s Challenge brings message of compassion to Sacred Heart JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF “Compassion.� This was the word that guided Rachel Joy Scott’s life. In an essay that she wrote as a student at Columbine High School in the United States, she suggested a “chain reaction of kindness and compassion� that could result from practicing compassion which she called the greatest form of love humans have to offer. Six weeks after writing this essay, Rachel was dead, the first student killed in the Columbine High School massacre that saw a total of 12 students and one teacher shot to death in the worst school shooting incident in U.S. history. But Rachel’s message of compassion and her outlook on life did not die with her, thanks to her journals and her loving family who have now carried her message of compassion and kindness to 14 million people all across North America. This message was brought to students at Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Stittsville on Thursday, Oct. 7 by Rachel’s brother, Michael Scott. In the evening, he gave the message again
at an open public one hour presentation for parents in the school’s theatre. Rachel’s message, called Rachel’s Challenge, involves five challenges which arise from her life and her writings. One is for people to get ride of any prejudice in their hearts because, in Rachel’s view, prejudice is pre-judging people before you know them. Rachel’s formula to prevent prejudice is simple: always look for the best in others. “The best way to eliminate prejudice is to look for the best in others,� Michael Scott said in his presentation. Dare to dream is Rachel’s second challenge to people. “Dreams don’t have to die,� Michael said in telling about this second component of Rachel’s Challenge. He advised that writing down dreams turns them from dreams into goals. This can be done by keeping a journal like Rachel did and like Anne Frank, who had a big influence on Rachel, did.

Michael urged people to try keeping a journal for 30 days and see if it becomes a habit. Rachel herself left behind six journals of her thoughts and goals. A third part of Rachel’s Challenge is to “choose positive influences,� Michael said. He said that in Rachel’s view, if people choose positive influences in their lives, then they will be a positive influence in the lives of others. This can be done in ways like those used by Rachel herself such as reaching out to the disabled, helping welcome new students to a school, and overcoming negative peer pressure when it tries to determine actions. A simple act of kindness can make a big difference in a person’s life, Michael reminded those in the audience at the evening presentation. And this can be something as simple as a smile or a “hi.� This leads into the fourth component of Rachel’s Challenge and that is that kind words and little acts of kindness can bring huge results. People have the power to hurt people through their words and actions but also have the power to heal people as well, Michael said, noting that his sister Rachel always treated people the way that she herself wanted to be treated by others. And Michael wrapped up his presentation with one final challenge. He urged people to think about those in their lives who mean the most to them. He asked that those at the presentation go to these people over the coming days and tell them how much they love them and how much they mean to them. He said that those approached in this way will never forget that conversation. It will impact their lives. Michael’s presentation was also punctuated with a number of video clips, shown on the big screen in the school’s theatre, including one outlining what happened that day on April 20, 1999 at Columbine High School when two boys tried and failed to detonate a bomb in the school cafeteria and then went
on a shooting rampage, killing 13 and wounding 27 before eventually taking their own lives. There were video clips featuring Rachel’s siblings and Rachel herself as well as clips of a disabled student who Rachel befriended, a teacher who heroically confronted the shooters and lost his life, and some of those who have embraced and endorsed Rachel’s Challenge including Elton John, Chuck Norris and U.S. presidents. Rachel read Anne Frank’s diary and as a result Anne Frank had a big influence on Rachel’s life. Both emphasized kindness, both hoped that their writings would influence the world and both had premonitions that they would die young. And while both died as teenagers, both have become known for their writings and both have had an impact on the world. For Rachel, it all comes back to the one word “compassion� and beginning a chain reaction of compassion rippling around the world. In her remarks at the evening presentation in both introducing and thanking Michael Scott, Sacred Heart principal Cindy Owens said that Rachel’s Challenge is a very powerful story of how one person can make a difference. She thanked Michael for sharing this very powerful message of Rachel’s Challenge with the students during the day and with parents and adults in the evening. The goal now is to build the ongoing sustainability of the Rachel’s Challenge program into the daily life of the school. This began after the student presentations when a number of students were involved in a training session on how to incorporate the message of Rachel’s Challenge into the school climate at Sacred Heart. This involves creating a safe learning environment for all students by ensuring civility and preventing school violence and bullying. Kindness and compassion should prevail in a school environment. Sacred Heart was one of four Ottawa Catholic School Board high schools which hosted Rachel’s Challenge presentations last week.

RACHEL’S CHALLENGE, FROM 10
Sunny weather but 46-0 loss for Storm JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF It was a beautiful fall day for a football game. Sunny and warm with blue skies. But not much else was memorable about the South Carleton High School Storm’s junior football game against the St. Peter High School Knights at SCHS in Richmond on Tuesday, Oct. 5. The game ended 46-0 for the visitors, the second straight loss for the SCHS Storm which had opened up its season the week before with a 256 loss to the St. Mark High School squad. But while the game did not go the Storm’s way, there were a couple of spectacular individual efforts that got the Storm fans cheering. One was on a kickoff return after a St. Peter’s touchdown in the second half which was unusual, to say the least, but which turned out to be the Storm’s most explosive offensive play of the game. On the kickoff, the ball bounced off the pads and helmet of deep receiver Ryan Miller of the Storm. Fortunately it found its way into the arms of fellow deep receiver Adam Lawson who then scampered down the sideline, nearly taking the ball all the way
to the opposing end zone. His run to the end zone was halted with a last minute St. Peter’s tackle at the 20 yard line. Unfortunately, the Storm offense could not move the ball from there and after three incomplete passes, St. Peter’s took over the ball on downs. A super defensive play happened just after this when a St. Peter’s running back took off and found open field, coming close to scoring on a 90 yard running play. But great hustle and speed by Storm defensive back Sandeep Gunawardena saw the runner tackled on the SC ten yard line, preventing a touchdown. The SCHS defense then held and St. Peter’s had to settle for a field goal, the last of the Knights’ 46 points in the game. St. Peter’s led the game right from the start, taking the opening kickoff and marching downfield with running plays until scoring on an eight yard touchdown pass. The convert made it 7-0. After the SCHS offense went two and out, St. Peter’s scored again on a 35 yard pass and run play. With the convert, it was 14-0 for the visitors. This is how the first quarter ended. In the second quarter, St. Peter’s scored on a 15 yard running play to
make it 200. A two point convert upped the score to 22-0. Another touchdown pass, followed by a convert, SCHS Storm made it 290 for St. quarterback Tyler Scott Peter’s. The visitors then blocked a South Carleton punt, leading to another touchdown and convert and a 36-0 score at half time. The recovery of a South Carleton fumble in the third quarter led to another St. Peter’s touchdown and convert and a 43-0 score. A field goal for another three points made it 46-0 at the end of the third quarter which is how the game ended. The SC Storm are playing in a six team league this season. The team now has a record of two losses in two games, having scored six points while allowing 71 points. St. Peter’s has chalked up two wins in two games, scoring 93 points while not allowing any.

However, the West Carleton Soccer Club will not initially be involved in the merger, although West Carleton competitive players will play under the WOS banner. The Almonte Soccer Club is not involved at this time. Currently the Kanata Soccer Club has an office at the Thunderbird Club while the Stittsville Soccer Club has an office on Stittsville Main Street. Both offices will continue in the short term but the office situation will be reviewed to determine the value of continuing with the office in Stittsville. It was pointed out that there has not been an office in Kanata itself (the Thunderbird facility is in West Carleton) for the past eight years. “We have been able to do without,� KSC president Andrew Pope said with regard to an office in Kanata itself when the subject of offices was being discussed. The Kanata Soccer Club was created 32 years ago by the amalgamation of four different soccer clubs. The Goulbourn Soccer Club was created by an amalgamation process in 2003. These amalgamations were in response to a desire of members to deal more effectively with the complexities of running such clubs that existed then. It was three years go that soccer clubs from the west end of Ottawa came together to collaborate on delivering a united representative soccer experience. West Ottawa Soccer was the brand created to represent this partnership. It is this partnership that is now evolving into a merger of the Kanata and Goulbourn clubs. The new merged WOS is committed to structure things differently with regard to player development. Adhering to the principles laid out by the Canadian Soccer Association’s Long Term Player Development, it will be a case of helping players to love the game first, providing them with the skills that they need to master the game and surrounding them with skilled coaches and supportive parents. It is believed that such an approach will make the players lifelong adherents of the game of soccer.

the Storm out of the end zone as Ashbury took over the ball. Ashbury had jumped into an early lead in the game thanks to a 65 yard pass and run play. The convert made it 7-0. A field goal from the five yard line made it 10-0 for Ashbury while another 65 yard pass and run play resulted in another touchdown and, with the convert, a 170 lead for Ashbury which is how the first half ended. A third quarter field goal and another Ashbury converted touchdown on a five yard pass made it 27-0 at the end of the third quarter. Ashbury added another ten points in the fourth quarter as the game ended 37-0 for Ashbury over South Carleton. This was South Carleton’s third straight loss of the season. The Storm have not yet scored a touchdown this season, having scored only three points so far in the three games. The Storm have allowed 107 points to the opposition in the three games. The Storm are currently in last place in the six team tier one high school senior football league.

The South Carleton Storm were unable to generate any points on the board in a 370 loss to Ashbury College in a high school senior football league game on Thursday, Oct. 7. Played at St. Joseph High School in Barrhaven as part of a day-long schedule of senior football league games, the Storm did have one glorious opportunity to score
a touchdown in the fourth quarter. Down at the time by 27-0 to Ashbury, the Storm advanced to Ashbury’s 17 yard line thanks to a pass from quarterback John Shaw to wide receiver Christian Maisonneuve down the sideline. Another pass from quarterback Shaw to receiver Ryan Chwedchuk took the ball to the Ashbury four yard, first and goal to go.

Playing in sunny but breezy weather in a game recorded by Rogers TV as part of a day-long schedule of senior football league games played at St. Joseph High School in Barrhaven, the Huskies got off to a bad start when a punt was blocked by Holy Trinity. The recovered ball ended up on the Huskiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; one yard line. It looked as if the Huskies might make a miraculous goal line stand as a pair of penalties backed the Holy Trinity team up ten yards and a couple of stalwart defensive plays saw Holy Trinity end up with a third down on the Huskiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; five yard line. But Holy Trinity threw a curve at the Huskies on the third down gamble, ending up tossing a pass to a wide open receiver in the end zone for a touchdown. With the successful convert, it was 7-0 for Holy Trinity early in the game. There was no more scoring in the first half. After a scoreless third quarter, the Huskies defensive stopped Holy Trinity at the Husky four yard line, taking over on downs. The Huskies, though, could not move the ball on offense and went to punt the ball. However, punter Brodie Marshall took the ball afoot rather than giving it the foot as he faked a punt and then scampered for 25 yards to keep the ball in Husky possession. This was shortlived, though, as Holy Trinity intercepted a pass, stopping any Husky momentum. Holy Trinity went on to score again in the game, getting a touchdown on a reverse. The convert was good, making the score 14-0 which is how the game ended. This loss left the Huskies with a record of two wins and one loss so far this season.

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

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

Clive Doucet
Robert Furtenbacher
BIO: Clive Doucet has held the Capital Ward council seat for 11 years. He began his career at the Federal Ministry of Urban Affairs, then worked on local government reform at the Ontario Municipal Affairs Ministry. He is married with two children and three grandchildren.
BIO: Joseph Furtenbacher, 50, has been living in Ottawa for the past 16 years. Self-taught in economics, foreign exchange and philosophy, he is a former band player and lives on a provincial disability plan.
Trailing by a significant margin in the polls, Clive Doucet knows he faces an uphill struggle in the remaining days of the mayoral race, but he insists quiet support is building and his platform is working.“I think people are going to be surprised when the vote comes on Oct. 25,” he said. “People behind the scenes are very, very supportive.” Few will state publicly their support because he is battling large corporations that small business people need to work with, he said, adding that doesn’t accept donations from developers. Doucet, in municipal politics since 1997, points to support for his small business and farms plank, to urban and suburban commuters for his transportation ideas, and to youth interested in his plan to reform spending effectively and reform governance. The son of an Acadian father and English war bride, the 64-year-old Doucet has long wrestled with Canada’s two solitudes identity. It appears here and there in his 15 books, and in his politics where he often champions the underdog while offering what he sees as practical solutions. When it comes to small business and farmers, Doucet offers to focus money and talent on the burgeoning green economy and improve food distribution facilities.“I’ve been working with small business and farmers for a long time now,” he said. “When I was first elected we didn’t have a single farmers’ market. We now have one in every neighbourhood.” A new transit system has to come now, said Doucet, not in 10 or 20 years. He champions a surface light rail transit, calling it affordable, efficient, reliable and economically sensible. As mayor, he vows to: start an eastwest rail corridor along Carling Avenue, extend the north-south O-Train to the airport, use Laurier Avenue for light rail, build light rail east to Blair Road and delay the planned tunnel.
Mayoral candidate Joseph Furtenbacher said he decided to run because the city is in dire need of an overhaul. “Everyone else is doing everything wrong,” said the 50-year-old. “They’re pulling ideas out of a hat.” Self-taught in economics, foreign exchange and philosophy, Furtenbacher said the city needs a progressive tax reform. He said he wants to see good zones and bad zones and tax each accordingly. Bad zones, like gas stations, would be taxed more heavily than good zones. Furtenbacher said he also wants to see city council take a pay cut. “I have philosophical reasons for working for (less money).” He said he would accept around $40,000 and the rest would be spent for city projects. “If everyone who works for this city paid ourselves less, there would be more money for projects,” said Furtenbacher. Furtenbacher said he wants to see above-ground rapid transit, similar to the GO train in Toronto with feeder buses to alleviate traffic congestion. “I’d start with an east-west line and add more as it goes,” he said. He would have connecting loops around the major areas in the city, including Kanata, Barrhaven, Orleans and Centretown. Much of the line would use existing tracks. “I like to have a rationale behind it,” said Furtenbacher. “There’s no rationale to going underground.” He also wants to see the current Lansdowne project scrapped in favour of more green space. “I would get rid of the pavement,” he said. “I would keep the historical and outlying buildings.” He said he wants to put a stop to council selling public land to developers. “There’s been too many bad decisions,” he said. He said the city’s bicycle bylaws need to be changed because biking in the city isn’t safe. “The only reason I haven’t been hit is because I break the rules.”
Doucet doesn’t believe in offering a catch phrase like “zero means zero” or a promise to reach 2.5 per cent tax increases. His pledge is to spend revenue more effectively, find savings – such as cancelling the Lansdowne deal – that will offset the need for high tax increases. Both the tunnel and Lansdowne will cost taxpayers dearly, he said.
He said bikes should be allowed to use the sidewalks, especially when needing to make a left-hand turn.He said drivers don’t pay enough attention to cyclists and it can be a gamble sitting on a bike in the left turn lane.
“Instead of looking at the tax cut, try and look at where your government is spending its money,” he said.
Furtenbacher said he wants people to vote for him based on his philosophy, not how he looks.

Robert Gauthier
Andrew Haydon
Bio: Robert Gauthier is a long-time Parkwood Hills resident who now lives downtown. He is a 73-year-old widower with three children and two grandchildren. He is retired from a career that has included construction, engineering and sales. Gauthier now works part-time in a fast-food restaurant to supplement his retirement income.
BIO: Andy Haydon is the former mayor of Nepean and also served as chair of the regional municipality of Ottawa-Carleton. Haydon, 76 and his wife, Sherry live in Barrhaven. He has two sons and two daughters, and two friendly dogs.
The little guy has a friend in Robert Gauthier. The 73-year-old is in the mayor’s race because he believes the electoral process is unfair to anyone who’s not considered a front-runner.
Trains or buses? It’s Ottawa’s $2.1-billion question. It’s the elephant in the room. But no one seems to be taking expansion of our bus system seriously, with mayoral frontrunners Jim Watson and Larry O’Brien on record supporting light rail.
“We have to change the process because candidates are not being heard,” Gauthier said. “Give people an opportunity to evaluate the 20 candidates. It shouldn’t be a rich citizen’s race or an influential citizen’s race.”
Former Nepean mayor and regional chair Andy Haydon wants to change that. He wants to get people talking about buses because the cost of expanding the existing system is much lower than scrapping chunks of the Transitway in favour of rail.
In that vein, Gauthier said he has already filed a statement of claim against organizers of an Oct. 5 mayoral debate at the National Arts Centre – to which only Jim Watson, Larry O’Brien, Clive Doucet and Andrew Haydon were invited. “It’s really an impediment to the proper function of democracy in Canada,” Gauthier said, taking the opportunity to state his campaign slogan: “Democracy means choices.”
Haydon does agree with rail-backers on one count: the need for a downtown tunnel to ease congestion on city streets above. But he said that tunnel could just as easily carry buses, and exhaust won’t be an issue with electric-hybrid buses that can switch to battery power as they pass below the city’s core.
He said he’s seeking “the fast-food vote,” by which he means the average worker. “The people who make minimum wage aren’t represented,” he said. Gauthier arrived at an interview still wearing his uniform from a shift at a fast-food restaurant, and was proud to do so, insisting on pinning on his name tag for a photo.
“For the last 100 years, trains have remained unchanged,” Haydon said. “Bus technology is advancing all the time.” He sees buses running along our existing Transitway, zipping through a tunnel as efficiently as any train, and popping out the other end to complete the cross-Ottawa trip without need for transfers. And if you only need a tunnel – without rails – the city could have a budget surplus on its hands.
“The bottom line of a balance sheet isn’t money, it’s people,” he said. “There are lots of people out there who make minimum wage and those people want a community that respects the people rather than the influential.”
Haydon said his goal will always be the highest ridership at the lowest cost, and he believes light rail misses the mark. He knows he’s up against a proposed rail system that tugs at voters’ emotions. He says rail is “sexy.” But maybe voters can come around if they can bear to look at Haydon’s very unsexy numbers.
Some of Gauthier’s priorities include a freeze on bus fares and better maintenance of existing infrastructure. “Broken buses are number one,” he said. “I’ve worked in transportation and I know rolling stock, and you have to maintain them better. (The city) buys expensive buses and then they don’t maintain the roads. The priority should be what you buy and what you build.” Still on the issue of buses, Gauthier said that if he serves as mayor, there won’t be any bus strikes. “I think it’s better to work with labour and I support labour,” he said. “That doesn’t mean I’m anti-management, but you collaborate.”
He estimates the city’s taxpayers will be on the hook for $13,600 per household when it comes time to pay the light rail bill. And those costs may go up because the provincial and federal governments have capped their commitment to this city’s transit system, making any cost overruns the responsibility of city council.
Gauthier is also interested in ways to reduce crime. He said 90 per cent of crimes can be traced back to a small number of people, and the best way to handle the perpetrators is to educate them.
“If they debenture it (borrow the funds) you can double it,” he said. “If you want to pay that, then you deserve to have light rail.” Instead, he sees buses running along our existing Transitway, zipping through a tunnel as efficiently as any train, and popping out the other end to complete the cross-Ottawa trip without need for transfers. And if you only need a tunnel – without rails – the city could have a budget surplus on its hands.
Immanuel House - An Investment for the Future Dr. Lloyd Van Wyck is a plastic surgeon and father of three university students. His investments include fixed income, equities and real estate. “I think you have to be in all vehicles to feel comfortable,” says the 58-year-old. “I don’t like jumping in to something without knowing everything. I met with representatives of Immanuel House three or four times before I bought in April 2010. I’d say, ‘explain that again.’ And they would. I bought a full unit. “Buying something that’s not built yet seems a little riskier. But I know Hyde Park has a good track record,” says Dr. Van Wyck. Immanuel House fits with Dr. Khulbe’s philosophy of giving Income property investor and back to the community, Ottawa Plastic Surgeon Dr. Lloyd Van Wyck she says, a philosophy drummed into her by her parents, who immigrated from India. “I might even want to be more involved,” she enthuses. “Who knows? Maybe some day I’ll be practising there.” For more information • Contact Income Property Sales Manager Ken Lantier at 613-686-1222, extension 107, Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. • Email lantier.ken@hydeparkrichmond.com Gary May and his wife, Linda Mondoux, operate the website, www.MyNewWaterfrontHome.com, which is devoted to introducing people to the many waterfront communities and living options available across Ontario.

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

Robin Lawrance
Fraser Liscumb
BIO: Robin Lawrance, 56 years old, emigrated to Canada from Scotland. Lawrence said he served 10 years with the Canadian Forces and has been involved in politics since the 1980s.
BIO: Fraser Liscumb, 62, has lived in the St. George’s area of the west end for the past 22 years. He has worked as a janitor at Carleton University while serving as a full time “Mr. Mom” as he believes that family comes first. Fraser Liscumb views himself as a troubleshooter, a fixer, a visionary.
Mayoral candidate Robin Lawrance said those elected to city council need to start paying attention to the taxpayers – and letting the next mayor do the job properly. “If you’re going to be the boss, they (the councillors) have to let him be the boss,” said the 56-year-old. “But the mayor also needs to listen to the taxpayers.” He said there is too much talking within council, without any action. “I’m not going to say I’m going to; I will,” said Lawrance. “You know the problem with this city? Too much talking and not enough doing. I see there is a great need for someone at the helm who’s going to care.”
That is why he is running to be mayor of the city of Ottawa in the upcoming municipal election. He wants to use his ability to solve problems and come up with solutions to remedy what’s wrong at city hall. And he will do this all, he says, by working with people and communities.“I always believe the community is only as good as the network you have helping each other,” he says. He believes that people should try to make a difference in life and that’s what he wants to do as mayor, especially since he feels he understands the plight of ordinary individuals who right now are hurting and need solutions, not problems, coming from city hall. He promises to get people involved. “I have the skills, the tools, the imagination to get them involved,” Mr. Liscumb says.
He said the idea of underground transit is absurd in a city that is prone to earthquakes. “It’s stupid to go underground when we have rail tracks,” said Lawrance, who estimated it would cost around $8 million to clean and convert the tracks. “Ain’t it a better deal than digging underground?” Lawrance, who said he served with the Canadian Forces for 10 years before being honourably discharged after being hit in the back of the neck, which caused his vision loss, wants to see taxes frozen.
Indeed, this is why he is running to be mayor as he does not believe his own children will be able to live in their hometown if things keep going the way they have been going. “I don’t sit back if a see a problem, I make a suggestion,” he says. He says that he never gets involved in things unless it is to make a difference and that if he does get involved, he does end up making a difference.
“Why don’t we freeze them for a little while, then put it up for what we need and not for profit,” he said. “Do you know what the problem is with this city? They’ve forgotten about the people. At the end of the day it comes back to this, their pocket book.”
Liscumb is making only one promise when he becomes mayor. He promises that he will not make decisions alone but will do everything with community input.
He said taxes are being spent on projects the city doesn’t need. “I want to see the taxes being properly spent in this city. Not on silly projects.”
He also believes that people want change at city hall.“If they want change, I will give them such good change that no one will ever go back,” Mr. Liscumb says. This will be done by working with others and the community, he pledges.
Lawrance said he considers Lansdowne one of those projects.“If I go in as mayor, I will tear up the Lansdowne project. There is nothing for kids, nothing for teens, young people or seniors.” He said he would turn it into a historical park instead, with rides and attractions that offer historical background information.“Like a little Disney World,” he said. “Tourists would flock here. That’s using your imagination.”
POWER
CLEAN EVENT
He is an advocate of having a 21st century transit system as he says a city cannot compete in today’s global economy without such a system as it indicates to the world that the city is progressive. He advocates an electromagnetic rail system that would run alongside roads, carrying passengers in pods. Mr. Liscumb is an advocate for paying city staff at least a living wage plus ten per cent. He says that his own household has had to scrimp to get by at times and so he understands the need to pay decent wages.

Mike Maguire
Larry O’Brien
BIO: Married with two daughters, Mike Maguire is a long time resident and community volunteer in Ottawa. Mike has also spent years working on numerous political campaigns at all levels of government.
BIO: Mayor O’Brien was born in Ottawa and graduated from the Algonquin School of Technology in 1972 with a diploma in Technology. He founded Calian in 1982 as a one-person consulting company and built it into an internationally competitive technology firm.
Mike Maguire is taking a two-pronged approach with his mayoral platform: improving transportation and lowering taxes. The self-employed analyst wants to create a rail system that’s similar to the Toronto area’s GO Train, with four separate lines across the city. He said his idea is cheaper because there is no service rail, it doesn’t contain a tunnel and it uses existing rail track in places like the Strandherd train station. The Kars resident added that any tunnel and light-rail plan that’s been proposed would bear a 16 per cent increase on taxpayers, especially given the expenses associated with maintenance and operations. “Let’s hear Mr. Watson and Mr. O’Brien address that,” Maguire said. “You might as well say it should be serviced by unicorns. It’s not possible.” Maguire analyzed the previous north-south light-rail proposal and recommended its cancellation in 2006. However he said the current other big-name candidates have “tunnel vision” and are not thinking about the effect the new system would have on the taxpayer. For instance, in rural areas like West-Carleton and Osgoode, Maguire said people would have to $460 per year compared to just $15 under any proposed transportation method. Small businesses would see a greater increase. Self-described as a “back-room guy for 20 years,” Maguire worked on Mayor Larry O’Brien’s campaign in 2006. The 49-year-old said he decided to run because he became “disenchanted with the last four years,” particularly with O’Brien’s failed promise of not raising taxes. “If he lost and I beat him, that would be provocative stuff,” Maguire said. “If he loses decisively, that’s a referendum on the decisions he has made over the last four years.” The two other top concerns for Maguire surround Lansdowne and language fairness. He said revamping Lansdowne on the taxpayers’ dime is an unbelievably risky idea, given the examples of SkyDome in Toronto and Olympic Stadium in Montreal, and should be a low priority because of taxes. Maguire doesn’t want Ottawa to be classified as bilingual. He would use the savings to help promote services in other languages like Chinese, Hindu, Arabic, and Somali, which he said are more popular in the city.
Larry O’Brien said he’s learned a lot during his past four years as mayor – what works and what doesn’t at city hall, and what he has to fix. The incumbent said he will start by revisiting council’s decision to reject city staff’s recommendation to expand the urban boundary by 850 hectares, approving only an additional 230 hectares. Developers immediately appealed the decision at the Ontario Municipal Board. Council made a mistake that taxpayers will pay for fighting a losing battle at the OMB, said O’Brien. “Let’s get ourselves out of the legal mess we’ve put ourselves into,” he said. “The first thing I’m going to do (if re-elected) is move to accept staff … recommendations of urban boundary expansion.” Next on the agenda is city governance, said O’Brien, who is considering creating three new committees aligned by geography: urban, rural and suburban, offering the idea as an alternative to a borough system. O’Brien wants to remodel the budget-making process to allow the mayor to present the budget instead of city staff, which can later be debated and changed by council. The incumbent said he still wants to hold the line on tax increases, but that he’ll need the support of council. “I’ll need to have a group of like-minded councillors on the financial side only,” said O’Brien, adding that he opposes political parties in municipal politics. A list will be released identifying candidates who support O’Brien’s ideas of fiscal responsibility, said the incumbent. Part of his proposed spending controls includes a plan to “freeze the city’s wage envelope,” he said. O’Brien said he’s “prepared to reduce services and cut staff” if the unions representing city staff aren’t prepared to negotiate wage controls. He also wants to create an independent transit commission to oversee OC Transpo and debate the future of the infrastructure renewal fund. O’Brien said he’s proud of council’s accomplishment’s which include approving an east-west light rail project, a renovated Lansdowne Park and cleaning up the Ottawa River.

He holds a diploma in retail management from Algonquin College and has also studied in the police foundation program, the private and public investigation program and a law clerk course. Ottawa needs a mayor who is going to speak up for the city’s most vulnerable citizens, said Michael St. Arnaud, a 62-year-old retired draftsman.

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

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

St. Arnaud said he’d like to see OC Transpo provide improved and more compassionate service for its ridership. More bike racks on buses would be a nice start, he said. Drivers and bus inspectors shouldn’t be so quick to ticket people who hop on the bus without paying, he added, suggesting that they allow a day’s leeway to purchase the fare.
CALL TODAY! 613-688-0653
Another hot-button issue facing candidates is taxes. St. Arnaud said he couldn’t see how council could offer a tax freeze and that it must balance any increase with the needs and wants of the citizens of Ottawa. The retired Nepean man said he had a host of ideas aimed at helping low-income residents: - Encourage cycling in Ottawa. St. Arnaud said he’d like council to look at a free bicycling system used in France that provides free bikes for people to travel within the cities. - Create a support group for isolated seniors that runs like Meals on Wheels. “I don’t think (any of the council candidates) are advocating for the City of Ottawa,” said St. Arnaud. “I don’t think they have the skills (needed to fix the problem.)”

Jane Scharf
BIO: Jane Scharf has a legal and social work background. Her primary interest is humane, rational and fair social policy. She has been a political activist for a number of years with many successful battles with city hall under her belt including the Homeless Action Strikes. Jane Scharf is not just a one-issue candidate. “A lot of people say my only issue is homelessness, actually I think the city is making great strides in that area,” Scharf said. “But there is still a lot that we need to work on.” Scharf said city hall needs someone like her, who is ready to challenge the status quo. She wants to make sure that Ottawa is an inclusive city. “I will achieve this, not by running the city as a business which leaves vulnerable people out,” she said. “The business approach does not save money because the social fallout costs such as mental health costs, as well as the cost of policing and jailing the destitute is staggering. A well-run community is fiscally responsible and it does so without leaving anyone out. A community tries to make fair and reasonable decisions for all of us including the sick, weak and vulnerable.” Scharf would like city council to start a discussion in three areas: accountability, tax reform and the institution of a food security committee. She also said she believes a lot more done if the local politicians would spend more time on policy decisions and less time networking. “As a mayor I will not participate in any community events during office hours,” she said. “Community events I will attend after hours as a regular citizen.” She also believes in the creation of a police policy committee made up of a broad-based membership that will consult the public on desired policing issues. Her next move under the umbrella of accountability would be the creation of an inspector general’s office. The function of the office would be to conduct independent investigations and audits. “The Children’s Aid Society and school boards (have similar offices) to detect and deter waste, fraud, abuse, and misconduct, and to promote integrity, economy, efficiency, and effectiveness in all these operations,” Scharf said. On the issue of tax reform, Scharf said the candidates should not promise arbitrary property tax increases, but advocate the federal and provincial governments for the proper funding to maintain our programs and services. “My complaint is that this municipal tax crisis is caused by federal and provincial downloading which forces the city to raise taxes to offset the shortfall from the transfer payments or lose the program or service,” she said.
Charlie Taylor
BIO: Working in journalism, Charlie Taylor (currently completing his Bachelor of Journalism degree at Carleton) has a vehicle to learn about and express his views for helping lead positive social change. Being mayor also would provide opportunities for Charlie to promote change for residents of the City of Ottawa. Charlie Taylor calls himself a breath of fresh air. He has set about a grassroots campaign since February, trying to make himself heard in the increasing number of voices seeking Ottawa’s top spot. “The more candidates there are, the less likely the serious candidates will be heard,” Taylor said, adding that major media outlets only tend to focus on the three or four top runners. “I feel like if I had equal media coverage, I would have a really good chance,” he said. Taylor ran for mayor because he didn’t feel there would be a candidate that represented his views. He describes his political bent as similar to those of the Green Party, but he stresses the fact that he’s just an average Joe. “I have worked a number of jobs and traveled to 45 countries on five continents,” he said. “Chances are I know what it is like to be you — I have been a bartender, a waiter and now I am a student. I can represent you better than a career politician or a successful businessman.” The 33-year-old Carleton journalism student can speak six languages and has close ties to Ottawa — where he was born and raised.
419979
Taylor’s buzz word is sustainability — be it for the environment or for taxes—he wants to find a way that our municipal government can manage growth and provide services in a fiscally-responsible, sustainable way. “The elephant in the room is that over half of the city’s annual $2.2-billion budget goes to compensation,” Taylor said. “Salaries have risen 550 per cent since amalgamation — an increase that is out of proportion with inflation.” Taylor said he if he is elected mayor he is willing to take a 50 per cent pay cut. He added that it’s possible to cut administration position through attrition, so no one has to be laid off. The other big issue for Taylor is transit. “Our transit is the most expensive in Canada,” he said. “Prices were raised in March in order to meet the arbitrary goal of having 50 per cent of the cost covered by riders and 50 per cent covered by taxes.” Taylor calls this goal reasonable but says increasing fares may be a disincentive to riders. He also believes there are ways to make transit more efficient and less costly. “I want to make a greener, happier, healthier, wealthier city,” he said.
And it doesn’t mean tea time, that traditional brew, although Mr. Watson, a former provincial cabinet minister, is legendary for his ability to schmooze with the best of them, whether it be over a cup of tea or a church supper or just on the street. But “T” time does stand for the three themes in his mayoralty campaign – taxes, transit and trust. On municipal taxes, Mr. Watson is quite clear – annual increases of no more than 2.5 percent. He views this as a “realistic and affordable” proposal that will allow the city to manage without gutting important community services. He predicts city residents will not be hoodwinked with a promise of zero tax increases as happened in the last municipal election, followed by four years where taxes went up a collective 14 ½ per cent. On transit, Mr. Watson is committed to proceeding with the proposed east/west light rail plan with a downtown tunnel. “Let’s not flip flop again,” he says in reference to the cancellation of a light rail plan to serve the south end of the city after the last municipal election. He pledges to keep the new light rail plan on time and on budget and has proposed the appointment of a private sector board of management to oversee the project to ensure this. “We can’t do everything at once,” he says in response to criticism that the light rail plan does not serve the south end of the city nor the far east and west suburbs. He says that the light rail system has to be built from the centre of the city out and promises to work to get more funding from other levels of government in order to quicken the time frame to serve these left-out areas. Trust is the third theme in Mr. Watson’s campaign, leading to what he calls his integrity package. This includes appointment of an integrity commissioner, registration of lobbyists and posting online the expenses of all elected officials. “This would set the gold standard for ethics in municipal government,” Mr. Watson says.
Ward 6 - Q&A
1 2 3
Outline your position regarding the proposed expansion of the Carp Road landfill site. What are the principles that you will go by as councillor with regard to development in Stittsville? What steps will you undertake as councillor to bring about less vandalism and less speeding in the community?
Richard Eveleigh BIO - Richard Eveleigh is a 59 year old lifetime resident of Ottawa. He attended the old Borden School before going on to Ottawa Tech and then Algonquin College where he took architecture and other courses. He lives in the Somerset ward currently represented by Ottawa city councillor Diane Holmes. My position regarding the proposed expansion of the Carp Road landfill site is that it should never have happened. How is it possible that in this day and age that it is still profitable to open your land as a garbage dump or as a landfill? We should be writing a letter or e-mailing our provincial representative asking if
there are any laws forcing recycling by construction companies, institutions and demolition companies. The municipality should not allow any construction to take place if there are no intentions of recycling and this should apply to other companies as well. If there are enough people requesting an answer from our provincial representative as to why there is no such recycling, the company that is proposing the Carp landfill expansion project might want to avoid pressure by moving the dump expansion. My principle that I will go by as councillor with regards to development in Stittsville will be to treat our ward as a self contained village where a person can walk to any location where they might want to go. The steps I will undertake as councillor to bring about less vandalism and less speeding in the community are as follows: I would want to know why this individuals causes himself or herself to resort to vandalism, either by talking to this person or by reading the police report. I might use the same approach with speeding. There might be a group of people who are already looking into this problem.
Shad Qadri
BIO - Shad Qadri was first elected to Ottawa city council in the 2006 municipal election, becoming the first councillor for the newly created Stittsville/Kanata West ward. He had operated Showbiz Entertainment, a video and gift store in Stittsville, where he became well known for his support of community events and initiatives. He was the inaugural president of the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville when it was formed. He also served as president of the Stittsville Village Association. Continued on page 24
In 2006 we, in Stittsville, made history by having the highest voter turnout in the City of Ottawa. I encourage everyone in our community to vote on October 25th, 2010, as your vote will ensure that our voice will remain united and strong over the next 4 years!
Let’s make history again in 2010! My focus will be: TAXES - Working towards an affordable tax base. City departments should be starting with a zero based budget policy. TRASH - With the support of the community to make the province accountable in seeking other methods of disposal. Energy from waste must be considered as a viable solution. TRANSIT - Improve East/West transit, current proposed lightrail project is the right step towards bringing Ottawa transit into the 21st Century. Working with OC Transpo, I will endeavour to continue to provide Stittsville with the best transit option at a reasonable cost. The time is now, in continuing to make the City of Ottawa the best place to live in Canada. This is our city’s future and the time to Re-Elect Councillor Shad Qadri! Vision, Common Sense and Proper Direction in the City is what Councillor Shad Qadri is all about.

Ward 21 - Q&A

How will you ensure that large-scale developments proposed for Manotick and Richmond do not overwhelm the existing community’s infrastructure and adversely impact the community’s quality of life? What changes, if any, do you advocate for the governance of the city of Ottawa? Rural drainage and wetland designations are two concerns of many rural landowners. What is your position on these issues?
Glenn Brooks BIO - Glenn Brooks is the incumbent Ottawa city councillor for the RideauGoulbourn ward, having been elected in the 2006 municipal election. Prior to that, he had been the city councillor for Rideau ward which was combined with Goulbourn in 2006 to form the current ward. A former North Gower farmer and a retired principal and teacher, he has been around the local political scene since 1976. Under the Provincial Planning Act, the city has to acknowledge the receipt of planning related proposals within 20 days. The proposals are circulated to a number of agencies for comment. Public meetings are required under the Act. Large developments are phased in at 40 units per phase. There is no better way in determining socialeconomic and quality of life impacts on a community than through open dialogue through the creation of a Community Design Plan supported by a community advisory committee as I did in North Gower, Manotick and Richmond. I conduct numerous public meetings (227 from 2006 to 2010) in an attempt to determine public concerns regarding social and infrastructure matters. I strive to find consensus going forward within the community, staff, council and the proponent. The borough governance model will return local decision making back to local residents on local issues where it belongs. This system complements the present one tier system and will reduce costs and save time in the decision making process. In rural areas, farm drainage is just as important as roads. Presently, drainage projects are fast becoming unaffordable. Thus I have asked that the province via the city’s Rural Affairs Officer Derek Moodie to review the Drainage Act in order to reduce the “red tape.”

For changes in governance, we must leave local issues to local residents. With the strong community associations that are in place in the various villages of our ward, we can work together with the communities to have the issues dealt with. If we can have standard guidelines in place for repairing roads, maintenance issues and traffic calming measures, then these can be dealt with automatically as they arise, instead of wasting time at the city council table. First and foremost, landowner rights must be protected. Designations must not be changed on landowners due to the change in development in the surrounding areas. Wetlands do not just become wetlands. In many cases, the landowners have their retirements tied up in their property value. When these designations change, this can decimate families and put more of a burden on society than necessary. Landowner rights must be protected. Continued on page 25

Scott Moffatt
We do not want to sit and wait for results, we want results now. Giving ARAC more power will address this demand.
BIO - Scott Moffatt, 29, lives in North Gower with his wife and two children. A graduate of South Carleton High School in Richmond, he ran for councillor for Ward 21 in the 2006 municipal election. Since that time, he has graduated from university while also working to help his wife complete her education in nursing. Growing up in the Kars/Manotick area, he has roots that go back over a century in the ward.
Some wetland designations and rural drainage go hand in hand. Improperly drained lands lead to improper designation as a Provincially Significant Wetland. Landowners must look after their own lands and their drainage areas to avert these designations. Landowners must work in accordance with one another so that each and every property is properly drained in order to avoid the “created wetlands” of the past several years.
A borough model is not the answer. The Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee (ARAC) was implemented to address concerns of the rural wards and we need to take it one step further. By giving ARAC more autonomy on local decision making, we can get results faster without waiting valuable council minutes. Tweaking the current system is the answer.
City council has unfettered discretion to control investment in infrastructure without fear of being overruled by the Ontario Municipal Board. Development does not pay for itself as demonstrated in the last three city budgets: 22 percent of all tax dollars were spent to support development. Recreational and educational investment lags behind.
Villages need to mature into sustainable towns, not an aging settlement with a suburb attached. By controlling capital investment better we will build sustainable communities and serve taxpayers better.
We continue to struggle with “one size fits all” problems. Our administration is too big and too expensive. Every councillor is tasked with every city decision regardless of its “local” or “general” nature. Committees are organized by city function rather than on geographic lines. We need to organize them into sub-groups which will be devoted to service rural, suburban and inner city areas. Each sub-committee should then be given expanded authority, supported by its smaller, dedicated administration.

JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF Students at Munster Elementary School first saw a video outlining Terry Fox’s Marathon of Hope in 1980 and then went out to show their support for Terry and his goals by participating in their school’s own Terry Fox Run on Friday, Oct. 1. They followed a course around the school’s soccer, ball and play fields, form a giant “L” as they ran or walked around the course on the sunny, cloudy afternoon. At least it was not rainy, a weather condition which had postponed the run from the day before to the Friday afternoon. This year marks the 30th anniversary year for Terry Fox Runs across the country. In the video which they saw, the students learned that Terry Fox, a cancer vic-
tim himself, undertook his Marathon of Hope to raise money for cancer research. His goal was to raise one dollar for every Canadian. The video explained how Terry Fox, on April 12, 1980, started his Marathon of Hope run across Canada in Newfoundland, with the goal of finishing at the Pacific Ocean. He himself had suffered bone cancer in his right knee and had one artificial leg. It was during his own treatment for cancer that he realized that he had to try to do something for all those others who were suffering from cancer. After 14 months of training, he began his Marathon of Hope, travelling 26 miles, the length of a marathon, each and every day. Initially his run received little publicity and donations but when he entered Ontario, two months after he started,
the crowds got bigger. His honesty, innocence and determination won over people’s hearts and in Toronto, thousands turned out to cheer him on. By Sept. 1 that year, he had gotten to Thunder Bay but he had to stop his run there as his cancer had returned and he had to get treatment. An impromptu telethon held at that time raised over $10 million. Terry Fox died on June 28, 1981 at the age of 22. But Canada has never forgotten him and Terry Fox Runs in his memory and to raise money to fight cancer have been going on every since. The runs happen at schools like Munster Elementary School as well as in communities across the nation. Munster Elementary School principal Iain Slingerland told the students that
he has seen the Terry Fox monument which was erected at the spot at Thunder Bay where he had to stop his Marathon of Hope. He said that Terry Fox is a great role model and inspires everyone to try to do their best.

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

Pain: You CAN Live Without It! Pain rears its ugly head anytime it wants, all throughout our lives, and all over our bodies. It is a recent sports injury and chronic headaches. It is constipation or diarrhea. It is aching ears and throats. It is arthritis, anxiety or depression. It is Fibromyalgia. Regardless of how it takes form, it always leaves us desperate for relief, de-railed from our lives, and holed-up in one or two positions of comfort, wondering why, and what to do. When we go to our doctors, we learn how pain has many possible causes: poor assimilation of nutrients, degenerative joints, muscular tears, improper healing, or compromised immune function. In Homeopathy, we solve these root causes of pain by using the symptoms of the pain itself to choose the best medicine. Is the pain burning, sticking, aching, stabbing, accompanied by food cravings or felt only in the morning? A Homeopath’s task is to read the map that pain is drawing, choose the perfect Homeopathic medicine, and determine an individualised treatment plan. The beauty of Homeopathy is that it is not masking your pain symptoms and trading them for side effects, as does a pharmaceutical pain-killer. In fact, it is incorrect to
believe it is the Homeopathic remedy that is curing the pain you feel. What actually happens is that the Homeopathic medicine stimulates the Body to do what it is designed to do: heal itself. Homeopathy is a medical methodology that acknowledges the incredible power of the Body to create its own cure, thus healing itself from the inside. Empower yourself. Your Body is an amazing gift, the most powerful Healer you know, and you live right inside it. It was born to be the driver on your journey to Health; Homeopathic Medicine is the key.

WENDY RYAN SPECIAL TO THE NEWS The “Paving Fundraiser” on Saturday, Sept. 25 was a sell out. Thanks to Doug and Pam Champagne for providing the entertainment and to Mavis Lewis for organizing the event. Special mention must be made of the Hyde Park residents who always show up to support the Legion. The food was great, the dance floor crowded and everyone wants to do it again. Mark your calendars for Jan. 22, Feb. 12 and March 19. No details yet but get your dancing shoes ready. The Ladies’ Auxiliary Tea & Sale will start on Sunday, Oct. 24 at 1 p.m. There will be bake, book and raffle tables. The plans for this year’s poppy campaign are underway with the door-todoor canvas on Saturday, Oct. 30. Anyone and everyoneis welcome to lend a
hand in this venture. Just show up at the Legion Hall between 8:30 a.m. and 9 a.m. that morning. You will get a route map and a poppy box. Coffee and donuts/muffins will be available and a lunch will be waiting when you return. The funds donated in the poppy campaign goes to a variety of things throughout the year. Here are a few donations made in Sept.: $1,200 to the Bruyere Foundation for the purchase of an aspirator; $1,500 donated to the Queensway Carleton Hospital Foundation for the purchase of a Blair Hagger warming system; $1,200 donated to the Ottawa Hospital Foundation for the purchase of two patient chairs for the Rehabilitation Virtual Reality Lab (used to treat Post Traumatic Stress); $1,500 donated to the Perley-Rideau Foundation for the purchase of three bedside tables for veterans
rooms; $1,500 donated to the Royal Ottawa Foundation toward the purchase of a Biofeedback Unit costing $5,000 (the other $3,500 has already been donated by another Legion branch); $500 donated to the 706 Squadron Snowy Owl Air Cadets; and $1,000 donated to the Friends of Hospice Ottawa to be used for Richmond day hospice expenses. This is just an example of expenditures made throughout the year. If anyone would like to lay a wreath in memory of a veteran during the Richmond Remembrance ceremony on Thursday, Nov. 11, please contact Wendy Ryan at 613-838-9696 before Nov. 8.
