Police comb Hunt Club roadside for firearm Weapon thrown from car after fleeing February murder scene: police Erin McCracken
erin.mccracken@metroland.com
Ottawa police officers spent the better part of Monday searching along Hunt Club Road for a suspected murder weapon – a firearm that investigators believe was thrown from a Dodge Charger allegedly seen fleeing a murder scene in the Hunt Club Park community in early February. Several officers with the emergency services unit looked for evidence along the east side of Hunt Club Road between Hawthorne Road and Highway 417. “It is believed that the evidence may have been thrown from the black Dodge Charger as it fled the scene,” police said in a statement released the day of the search. Yusuf Ibrahim, 27, who police say was a known gang member and involved with the Ottawa police in relation to gang activity, was
fatally shot inside a home at 181 Forestglade Cres. the morning of Feb. 6. “The incident happened at roughly 9:30 on a Friday morning in a very populated area. I’m sure several people would have heard gunshots or seen the car speeding away,” said Det. Chris Benson, a major crime investigator who is leading the case. “We don’t know if there was more than one gun at the scene, but multiple shots were fired, and (there was) at least one shooter for sure,” he said. Police want to talk to anyone who may have been in the vicinity of Forestglade Crescent at the time of the shooting “or seen who might have been in that vehicle when it fled, or either parked outside or on the street,” said Benson. In the aftermath of the killing, officers canvassed the area. But those they talked to said they hadn’t seen or heard anything, “which we find to be strange being the hour of the day that it happened and gunshots being fired at 9:30 on a Friday morning,” said Benson.

Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans, centre, accompanies Hunt Club Park Cubs and Beavers on a tour of the OC Transpo garage on Industrial Avenue on April 13. The group included Michael Vlamis, 8, left, Nathan Marten, 5, Joel Osment, 6, Kieran Cummings, 6, Zachary Huneault-McKinnon, 6, and Ben Gudbranson, 5. deckers?” The answer stumped them, until Deans said the Eiffel tower would be taller, “but just by a little, tiny bit.” During the tour, the group got to see inside the garage, where all of OC Transpo’s fleet of double-decker and articulated buses are maintained. The busy hub is a 24/7 operation where an average of 200 buses are fuelled, cleaned, maintained and serviced every day before heading back on the road for the next shift. But the highlight of the tour for many – measured by the excited squeals and movement in the seats – was a trip through the industrialstrength bus wash, with its high-powered water jets and massive whirling brushes. “Most people will never see what these kids saw today,” Deans said. Leader Andrew Pullin – known to the Beavers and Cubs as TicTac – said he hopes the children learn some of what it takes to operate this kind of bus system. “They only ever see one bus at a time. You get on, you say hi to the bus driver,” said Pullin, a Hunt Club Park resident and regular transit user.
“You don’t really realize the sheer scale of this operation. It’s just mind boggling, even for me.” As a leader with the 137th Ottawa Scout Group, he frequently goes on camping trips with the kids, and has enjoyed educational visits to a city fire station, the fire hall at the Ottawa airport, an Ottawa police station and to Ottawa Paramedic Service headquarters. So how do you top a tour to OC Transpo? “That’s a good question,” Pullin said with a smile. “We’re going on a camping trip (in May), so I think they’re going to like that.” DID YOU KNOW?
• OC Transpo employees: 3,200 • All OC Transpo buses lined up would equal: 15 kilometres • Diesel fuel consumed by OC Transpo buses in one year: 40-million litres, enough to fill 16 Olympicsized swimming pools • OC Transpo buses on the road every day: 771. This will increase to 799 in September. • OC Transpo is the ninth largest employer in Ottawa

They’re still too young perhaps to know whether they want to be public transit operators when they grow up. But all of the more than 30 Cubs and Beavers were all eyes when they were given a behind-the-scenes tour in the top deck of a double-decker bus of the OC Transpo garage on Industrial Avenue Monday, April 13. “Cool,” was eight-yearold Michael Vlamis’ reaction after he disembarked from the vehicle with the rest of the youngsters with the Hunt Club Park-based 137th Ottawa Scout Group, their leaders and several parents. “I didn’t use any tickets,” marvelled another boy, before the tour ended with OC Transpo officials presenting the boys and girls, ages five to 10, with keepsakes. Prior to heading out on the ride-along, the children were also treated to several interesting facts about OC Transpo operations courtesy Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans, whose ward includes the home base of the Scout group: St. Thomas More elementary school in Hunt Club Park. “Who do you think provides more rides? Magic Kingdom at Disney World or OC Transpo?” the former Transit Commission chair asked the group, referring to the Florida theme park. The kids guessed correctly, and Deans told them OC Transpo provides almost five times more rides than Magic Kingdom, providing rides to 100 million passengers annually, while the theme park serves 17 million people a year. “Who do you think takes in more money in ticket sales, the Ottawa Senators or OC Transpo?” she asked, and again the kids got the answer right. “We have 75 double-decker buses at OC Transpo,” she said. “If you took all 75 double deckers and piled them one on top of the other, which would be higher?

Ottawa South News - Thursday, April 16, 2015
Would you like a latte with your latest spy novel? How about throwing in some laundry while you check your emails? All this and more was on the table at a packed public meeting to see what residents want in a reimagined central library on March 31. Nearly 200 people flocked to city hall for the consultation, and another 500 tuned in online. They watched a presentation highlighting some of the best features of modern libraries across Canada and the world before breaking out into brainstorm sessions with library staff. Ideas from the blue-sky session ranged from 3D printer access to a bike check-out program. Someone suggested adding a laundromat – that got a lot of laughs – but library board chairman Tim Tierney said it’s all on the table at this point. “As much as we love books and Dewey decimal systems, there is a heck of a lot more (to libraries) than that,” he said. Creating a teen zone was a common suggestion at the meeting, he said, and the importance of open gathering spaces came up again and again. Having natural light, places to plug in your electronics, and offering a comfortable place to access information are all key elements. “Twenty years ago, it was all about ‘shhh, quiet,’” he said. “Well, that’s not what libraries are about anymore. Vancouver has a pizza joint in their library. We want to look at all opportunities.” The point of the consultation, Tierney said, was to define what exactly Ottawa residents expect to see inside their central library: do they want to keep the cramped 40-yearold “bunker” on Metcalfe Street, or do they want a re-imagined community hub that’s accessible to all and offers more than just a holding place for dusty books? That’s more like it, said Tierney,
who worked the room listening to comments from residents – feedback that overwhelmingly supported scrapping the current location, which offers little natural light, poor cellphone and Wi-Fi reception and very little in the way of community space. The feedback will help library staff present their business case for a re-imagined central library this June, when the city will officially decide whether or not to move forward on the project. At that point, staff will begin to work out the details of where such a hub might be located. While the March 31 consultation was more about the interior details, Tierney
“As much as we love books and Dewey decimal systems, there is a heck of a lot more (to libraries) than that.” Coun. Tim Tierney, library board chair
said participants were clear the library should be accessible. “Lots of comments were that it should be near transit,” Tierney said. “The existing location services a smaller portion of the area and it could be a lot more if it was closer to the transit link.” Elaine Condos, the library’s facilities and business services manager, said a cursory look at the hundreds of comments received during the consultation revealed that accessibility is indeed a priority – not just in location, but also in terms of furniture and shelving inside the building. That’s a given, she said – any renovation or new build the city does meets accessibility standards, she said. Other priorities that came up again and again, Condos said, called for a variety of spaces (creative spaces, traditional quiet study spots, meeting rooms), the addition of a performance or presentation space and the inclusion of a cafe or restaurant. See LAUNDROMAT, page 7
Laundromat, bike check-out among blue-sky ideas for a new main branch Continued from page 6
That one’s going to get a lot of traction, Condos said. “It’s not even a trend, it’s a best practice,� she said, noting that the current main branch had a cafe for years but shut down because it wasn’t sustainable. “Now we have vending machines.� The library board has been considering the possibility of
building a new central branch – likely with the help of a private partner – since last summer. The city abandoned its plans to build a new structure in 2010 in favour of trying to fix up the current branch. But a report published last July found the existing building would require $40 million in renovations to just get the library up to 21st century standards, and
as much as $70 million to expand the space enough to offer a full range of uses for its 14,000 weekly visitors. The library board directed staff to report back in 2015 with options for building a central library at a new site. The library has already hired a consultant group to draft the business case for how the city might move forward in a public-private partnership.

Let sentries stand proud
O
n a day when Canada remembered its proudest military moment, which took place on April 9, 1917 at Vimy Ridge, the country once again showed how petty politics and over-bearing bureaucracy continues to reduce the legacy of our Armed Forces to a shadow of its former self. Why it makes more sense to post Ottawa police officers at the National War Memorial to protect the National Sentries standing guard over the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier â&#x20AC;&#x201C; at a cost of $425,000 this year â&#x20AC;&#x201C; than it does to simply hand loaded weapons to these trained military men and women is baffling. According to the Department of National Defence, it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have jurisdiction over the site. Well, perhaps rather than dishing out close to half a million dollars a year to protect the protectors, why not change the jurisdiction? Surely both the federal government and City of Ottawa could come up with a reasonable solution along those lines, in light of the shooting of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo last October. Some might worry about the presence of armed
members of the military in the capital, but what makes a soldier less trustworthy with weapons than police? Do soldiers, if provided appropriate training, pose some threat to our democracy? We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t live under a military junta and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highly unlikely we ever will. Providing a couple of soldiers performing a ceremonial duty the means to protect themselves will hardly sow the seeds of a Dr. Strangelove-esque catastrophe. Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s service men and women have been bearing the brunt of our political inadequacies for some time now. All one needs to do is to look at the way our veterans are treated or at the once-againdeplorable state of the Forces themselves following Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s withdrawal from Afghanistan to see the rot. The last thing Canada needs to do, especially in plain view of a monument to the legacy and bravery of its soldiers, is hire guardians to protect the guardians. Just give the brave men and women at the National War Memorial the means to protect themselves and let them stand proud.

Beans arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only thing to count
T
he Ontario government, according to a recent news item, â&#x20AC;&#x153;is speeding up the process for closing schools, as part of a crackdown on publicly funded boards with too many classrooms sitting empty.â&#x20AC;? Reflecting that, the government indicates that only two public meetings, instead of four, need to be held before a school closes, and the review need only take five months instead of seven. Some people will see that as good news. The notion of lazy or stubborn boards wasting taxpayersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; dollars by keeping useless schools open is repugnant to those who make saving the taxpayersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; dollar the top priority. But there are other priorities that deserve at least a thought before we

For some reason demographics does not seem to be the strong suit of school boards or provincial governments. Shifts in population, up or down, are not foreseen.

to have anticipated by the decision makers. Given this, making decisions on school closings more quickly hardly seems like a logical step. Another priority is consultation. Those neighbourhood groups and parent groups that insist on having their say may seem like annoying hindrances to efficient decision-making, but they have rights, not to mention children. Further, they have local knowledge that the authorities should treasure rather than resent. A third priority is neighbourhood. The school is the centre of the neighbourhood. Take away a school and you hurt the neighbourhood. A Globe and Mail article on the issue has a nice quote from Monika Turner, director of policy at the Association of Municipalities of

It may be only a coincidence, but the authorities in the Globe quoted in favour of speeding up the closing process were school board people. The people opposed represented municipal interests. They would be more inclined to recognize the neighbourhood consequences. A so-called under-utilized school is not empty. It could just under two-thirds full. Those who want to shut it down say the money could better be spent on programs. But there is more to a school than programs. A school can have great programs, but if it is overcrowded, the educational benefits will be diluted. At one point, the Ontario government seemed to recognize this.

City ignoring own plan The the editor,
Re “Proposed student residences on hold,” April 9. The article overlooks a key aspect of the development potential of the 770 Brookfield property. Several participants raised it at the consultation meeting on Feb. 2 and it was vigorously debated in 2004 when an earlier proposal was floated. That key point is that the secondary plans of both Riverside Park and Confederation Heights call for that part of Brookfield to be a “transition” between the 12-storey Canada Post towers and the single-family houses further south. Secondary plans, which are part of Ottawa’s Official Plan, trump zoning. The property on the north side of Brookfield (where a billboard has re-
cently popped up) is zoned for four storeys, which is consistent with that “transition” requirement. Therefore, buildings on the south side must be limited to two or three storeys. Unfortunately, the city has been neglectful after so many years in not adjusting the zoning on the south side to be equally consistent with the secondary plans. A series of three-storey buildings could make for a very nice development: commercial premises on the ground floor facing Brookfield, and housing above and in the back. That would be very compatible with the rest of the neighbourhood as well as with its corporate neighbour to the north. Erwin Dreessen Riverside Park

I regularly read Brynna Leslie’s Capital Muse column. While I do not always agree with her position or points, I respect her right to share them and I always have pause for thought after reading. I just finished reading her latest article “How to lead an active life...” in the April 2 edition and thought she hit it out of the park. There is a reason that yoga and meditation classes and groups are springing up all over the city and country. People are getting burned out and are rapidly losing their sense of community as we rely more and more on technology in our everyday comings and goings. However, as she aptly infers, technology does not teach us basic interpersonal skills and good manners. It can’t teach us how to be kind or to
listen better. For these, it takes work, similar to one who is trying to lose weight or at least maintain a healthy lifestyle. I find it so sad that our culture still frowns on those who say “no.” Mind you when human interest stories seem to only feature those who can “do it all” and to the highest standard, then it is no wonder that those who chose to conserve their energies and invest differently are virtually shunned. I hope that many readers take time to reflect on Ms. Leslie’s latest comments and commit to making even baby step changes in their lives. I firmly believe that issues such as workplace bullying or youth mental health, for example, will be the big winner in adopting such changes.

Ottawa police to guard sentries at National War Memorial Alex Robinson alex.robinson@metroland.com
The ceremonial guards who watch over the National War Memorial every summer have become the guarded. The Department of National Defence has announced it will pay Ottawa police $425,000 this summer to protect the sentries, less than a
year after Cpl. Nathan Cirillo was murdered at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in October 2014. The National Sentry guards retook their positions in a ceremony on April 9, standing on either side of the monument. Armed police officers will protect the sentries every day until the season ends in early November.
“After the terrorist attack of Oct. 22, we learned there are certain dangers to which our soldiers willingly subject themselves (to),” said Nepean-Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre after the ceremony. “We are going to do everything in our power to protect the men and women who stand in defence of our National War Monument.”

Cirillo had been guarding the memorial when he was reportedly shot twice at pointblank range by Michael Zehaf Bibeau, who was later killed after storming Parliament Hill with a rifle. The attack shook the capital and provoked the new safety measures for the reserve soldiers who stand by the monument in a ceremonial role. Maj. Michel Lavigne, of the ceremonial guard, said he was confident in the safety of the sentries now guarding the memorial. “The Canadian Forces takes the security of soldiers very seriously,” he said. “In this particular case we have cooperation with Ottawa city police and its working very well and we’re very happy with it.” In addition to armed police guards, stanchions have

“It gives them a bit more room to manoeuvre. We have had some instances in the past when the public has gotten a bit too aggressive in trying to take pictures.”

A Canterbury High School student received a Caring Canadian Award from Gov. Gen. David Johnston just prior to the We Day celebration in Kanata on April 1. Émilie Brunet, 17, of Orléans, won the award, which was created in 1995 to recognize Canadians who have made significant contributions to their own community or to helping those abroad. The awards were presented at the start of We Day, a concert and motivational speaking event held annually for youth who are involved with both local and international causes. “I volunteer a lot with school, and outside of school as well, with a lot of clubs and committees,” Émilie said. The Grade 12 Canterbury High School student was nominated by a representative she works with from Free the Children. She took a leadership role in her school’s Free the Children club last year, and has continued to lead the club through several fundraisers and volunteering campaigns this school year. This year, the club focused on helping people locally, and made hampers for four low income families at Christmas. They’ve also done a food drive, and will host an event before the end of the school year to raise money to contribute to building a school in India.
The club will also take part in a battery drive, collecting used batteries so Free the Children can extract the zinc and put it into tablets for those in third world countries in need of zinc supplements. She’s also volunteered with her school’s KEY Club – a branch of Kiwanis – and volunteered for summer camps in the St. Laurent Complex. Émilie said receiving the award from Johnston was “really amazing” and it was an incredible experience to be called up on the stage at the Canadian Tire Centre in front of 16,000 people. Each award winner spoke briefly with Johnston, who presented the awards in a private ceremony and then later recognized the winners on stage. Émilie also said she was surprised to hear she won the award. “It was surprising just because to receive the award, you have to be nominated by someone, whether it’s a teacher or someone else who recognizes your efforts,” she said. Since she was presented with the award on April 1, Émilie was accepted into Concordia University’s design program, which she plans to attend in September. While she will have to step away from her high school clubs when high school ends, she doesn’t plan to stop volunteering. “I definitely want to stay involved and continue volunteering in any way I can,” she said. “It’s fulfilling.”
OPG is a proud partner of many community activities and initiatives. And with 99.7 per cent of the power we produce free of smog and greenhouse gas-causing emissions, we are just as dedicated to making Ontario a cleaner and even better place to live, work and play.

Lack of witnesses in Hunt Club Park shooting death: police Continued from page 1
“We believe they still would have heard the gunshots being fired anyway even if they’re inside.” Benson acknowledged that some potential witnesses to the crime may be reticent to come forward given the knowledge that Ibrahim was known to police and considered a gang member. “I think that’s always the case, but these people are always afraid to come forward, saying it’s gang related, but they’re always the first to criticize police for not doing anything against the gangs,” Benson said, adding that it is very frustrating. “So it’s sort of hand in hand. Without them co-operating with us there’s not much we can do. We get handcuffed – they’re holding back on information.” Late last month, police released new images of a black Dodge Charger believed to be connected to the homicide, in hopes anyone in the vicinity of Hunt Club Road and Blohm
Drive on the morning of the shooting saw the vehicle with three people inside. Those suspects have not yet been identified by major crime investigators and “very little” information has come in from the public about the vehicle, said Benson. Police were able to locate the Charger, which was a rental. “Earlier video of the vehicle was released showing three individuals driving at a high rate of speed in a Dodge Charger. These three are believed to be responsible for Ibrahim’s death,” police said at the time, adding that the vehicle was caught on camera at the intersection of Hunt Club Road and Hawthorne Avenue. It had been travelling eastbound on Hunt Club Road towards Highway 417, roughly the same area where police were looking for a firearm. Investigators also want to speak to anyone who saw Ibrahim on the evening of Feb 5, 2015. “He was seen at a ByWard
Ottawa Police Service/Submitted
Ottawa police officers searched for evidence along Hunt Club Road near Highway 417 at Hawthorne Road on Monday, April 13 in connection with the fatal shooting of a known gang member at 181 Forestglade Cres. on Feb. 6. Investigators are still looking for anyone who saw this Dodge Charger allegedly seen speeding away from the murder scene. Market bar that night,” police said. In late March, police identified three “important” male witnesses, considered to be persons of interest, who were seen using taxi cabs to and
from the Forestglade residence the morning of the killing. “We’ve identified them, yes,” said Benson. “We’ve made attempts to interview them, but they’re not being
co-operative.” The three are not considered to be the occupants of the Dodge Charger. Anyone with information on the homicide investigation is asked to call the major
crime unit at 613-236-1222, ext. 5493, or call in anonymous tips to Crime Stoppers at 613-233-8477. To see the video of the Dodge Charger, go online to youtube/mbeNWgspODw.

An organization that supports newcomers to Ottawa who are seeking refugee status is holding its inaugural variety show fundraiser. The event, which takes place at Kanata Baptist Church on April 24, will feature singing, dancing and musical talent from locals and newcomers, is in support of Matthew House Refuge Services and Furniture Bank. With attendance free to those under 18 and tickets $10 per person, organizers hope to raise $2,000 to help keep Matthew House running. The Christian organization draws its inspiration from the Matthew 25:25 Network, referring to Bible scripture about welcoming newcomers. It seeks to do that by providing refugees and refugee claimants a place to live and guidance during the refugee claim process. With space for up to 10 people at a time, Matthew House, located along Centrepointe Drive in Nepean, has helped more than 100 people from dozens of countries since it started in 2010. Partnered with Furniture Bank located in Kanata, the organization can also provide their residents with volunteer work, job skills and furniture for their future homes. The majority of the organization’s funding comes from churches, indi-
viduals and grants, but does not receive government funding, said Matthew House’s program manager, Kailee Brennan. “In an NGO (non-governmental organization) like that, you are always looking for ways to fundraise,” she said. Much of Matthew House’s operating budget comes from its own Ride for Refuge event held in October, and participation in Ottawa Race Weekend. But this year, the organization’s new board is looking to find new ways to raise money and support, said Brennan. The first annual variety show is just such an attempt, which will showcase ballet dancers from Stittsville’s Arise School of Dance, the McGill Ottawa Alumni Choir, several local solo singers including Lydia Brown and Heather Lynn Smith, as well as other performances from supporters of Matthew House, said the event’s organizer and Matthew House director, Meredith Ward. “It’s just going to be a ton of fun,” said Ward. Funds are particularly important now as Matthew House looks to do $30,000 of upgrades to the electrical system of the older home it rents from Bethany Baptist Church in Nepean. Ward said she hopes the event can raise $2,000 or more. Tickets can be purchased at Kanata Baptist Church at 465 Hazledean Rd. at 6 p.m. on April 24. Donations are also accepted, said Ward. There will also be information available about Matthew House, the Furniture Bank and volunteer opportunities.

MODEL SUITE NOW OPEN!
After examining the wreckage left behind from the massive April 9 fire in the Glebe, the police arson unit has determined the blaze was deliberately set. The arson unit, which was working with investigators from Ottawa fire and the Ontario Fire Marshall, announced their findings on April 12. A criminal investigation is now underway. The late night fire, which consumed six businesses in a one-storey retail strip at Bank Street and Fifth Avenue, was preceded by a loud and powerful explosion that injured one passer-by. Despite a quick response from firefighters, the damage and extent of the fire kept crews back, forcing them to attack the blaze from the perimeter and above
until the early hours of April 10. The Beaver’s Mug Cafe, Silver Scissors Hair, Encino Taco Shop, a Pizza Pizza, a Mac’s convenience store, and a Brown’s Cleaners were destroyed in the fire. Police haven’t said what exactly caused the explosion, though the blast was quickly confirmed in the wake of the fire. On April 10, Ottawa fire Capt. Bob Rainboth said an explosion preceded the blaze. “One member of the public received minor lacerations from the glass being shot out, and there was one minor injury to an officer who was treated at the scene,” he said. Shortly after the blast, the storefront glass and window frames of the hair salon and coffee shop could be seen lying on the sidewalk, with other components bent outwards. Chairs could also be seen lying on the street outside the business. Though Bank Street was eventually reopened following the fire, it is still reduced by one lane in front of the
building. The news that arson was behind the fire has angered many, including Andrew Peck, executive director of the Glebe Business Improvement Area. “The idea someone would deliberately destroy the livelihoods of hard working people who are committed to serving our community and city, and to cause dozens of people to lose their jobs is just very sad,” said Peck. “We want to make sure we’re going to do everything we can to support our members and local businesses.” Though the remains of the building will have to be torn down, there is already talk of rebuilding. The desire to rise from the ashes and reclaim the gap in storefront retail is encouraging for Peck. “Business owners are resilient types. They’re still taking stock in what’s next. Some business owners are already considering other locations already.” With files Robinson

Record numbers expected to geek out at Ottawa Comiccon Erin McCracken
erin.mccracken@metroland.com
The stars are aligning for Ottawa geeks. Ottawa Comiccon organizers have been name dropping for months now, announcing new celebrity guests scheduled to attend the three-day convention at the EY Centre May 8 to 10. Record numbers of fans are expected to turn out to the fourth edition of the convention for British actress Billie Piper, who played the companion to the Doctor in the relaunch of the U.K. sci-fi television series Doctor Who. “Not everybody loves Doctor Who, and she is known for other things, but the thing by far ... she was the biggest announcement we’ve ever had – ever,” said Cliff Caporale, Ottawa Comiccon program director. “She was a bigger announcement than Nathan Fillion. “It’s a different mentality, a different crowd,” he said of Fillion, a Canadian actor who

Ottawa Comiccon program director Cliff Caporale is ‘attacked’ by Robert Englund, left, best known for his role as Freddy Krueger in the ‘Nightmare on Elm Street’ movies, during the 2014 Ottawa Comiccon in a coveted photo op with ‘The Evil Dead’ actor Bruce Campbell, middle, while Ottawa Comiccon programming co-ordinator Jean-Marc Pellerin is ‘choked’ by Kane Hodder, a.k.a. Jason from the ‘Friday the 13th’ movies. The Ottawa Comiccon returns to the EY Centre May 8 to 10. their autographs. “We’re going to have a situation with her Q and A where we may have to turn people away once we reach a maximum.” Piper’s question-and-an-
Doctor Who fans, on the other hand, “just want everything to do with that world,” Caporale said, whether it’s having their photos taken with stars of the show or getting
currently stars on TV in Castle and who came to Comiccon in 2013. “A lot of people just want to see him, want to meet him, and are happy with the Q and A.”
swer session, the timing of which has not yet been announced, will have seating for about 2,000 people. But that may quickly max out; reason why organizers will be asking fire officials if more people can be permitted inside. American actor, blogger and Tabletop gaming show creator Wil Wheaton is set to return again this year after a one-year absence, and Caporale said he won’t be surprised if the star attracts huge crowds again in May “because he’s such an entertaining speaker.” Ottawa Comiccon organizers are big Wheaton fans. “We grew up with him,” Caporale said of the actor who starred as a kid in Stand By Me, before going on to play Wesley Crusher in Star Trek: The Next Generation. He now plays himself in a recurring TV role on The Big Bang Theory. “He’s an ambassador of geekdom, if you will. I wouldn’t call him King of the Nerds – he doesn’t want us to call him that, but he is a voice
of millions of people that are in the same situation who felt ostracized by society and ... here he is speaking about the kind of stuff we all went through or younger audiences are still going through, and saying, ‘It’s OK.’” With geeks and everything they love moving into the mainstream – think comic book characters coming to life on the big screen – events like the Ottawa Comiccon are booming. In 2012, its inaugural year, organizers welcomed 20,000 people, exceeding initial hopes for 6,000 to 9,000 visitors. “For our first show, we were blown away,” Caporale said. “We were not expecting that.” The convention grew to 30,000 in 2013, and last year 38,000 attendees flooded the EY Centre, which created traffic and parking problems. “We basically shut down the city on Saturday,” said Caporale.

Comiccon set to return with big name stars STAR POWER
Continued from page 18
Early next month, more than 42,000 people are expected to gather at the EY Centre and meet the stars, comic book artists and browse hundreds of vendor exhibits, take in question-andanswer sessions and attend costume-building workshops. Event organizers are currently working with the city, OC Transpo, the EY Centre and Ottawa police to develop a strategy. Shuttle bus service is being considered. And an announcement on parking and traffic information is expected to come at the end of April or beginning of May.
In addition to Piper and Wheaton, a host of other bigname stars will soon be arriving in Ottawa for the convention including Firefly TV star Sean Maher, Walter Koenig, best known as Star Trek’s Mr. Chekov, Nichelle Nichols, who starred as Lieut. Uhura in the original Star Trek TV series, and from Star Trek: The Next Generation, Jonathan Frakes and Marina Sirtis will be in attendance. Canadian actor Richard Dean Anderson of MacGyver and Stargate SG-1 fame will be on hand to sign autographs, as will Billy Boyd from Lord of the Rings, Jason Mewes and Brian

Public board readies parents for possible teacher’s strike Teacher’s federation could be in strike position by April 19 steph.willems@metroland.com
April can be a tumultuous time, and not just with the weather. Parents of public secondary school students in Ottawa have been notified of the looming possibility of labour strife, the result of a collision between teacher’s union demands and the province’s deficit-reduction strategy. On April 9, Jennifer Adams, director of education for the public school board, sent a letter to parents and guardians of students advising them on the labour situation. “The collective agreements for all unionized school board employees in Ontario, including teachers, occasional teachers and support staff expired on August 31, 2014,” Adams wrote. “Currently, none of our bargaining units is in a legal strike position; however, the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation (OSSTF) representing the secondary school teachers and secondary occasional teachers will be in a legal strike posi-
tion on April 19, 2015.” According to Adams, the board is currently in negotiations with its employee groups, a situation that carries with it no immediate risk of labour disruption. If an agreement isn’t reached, however, that situation could change. options
One of the options for the members is a full-scale walkout and suspension of teaching services. With the end of the school year looming, the timing of a possible strike would give strength to the union’s hand in negotiations. A post on the board’s labour relations page, dated April 9, notes that an earlier statement by the OSSTF is considering “a full withdrawal off services in seven districts, including the OCDSB, but the end of April, 2015.” The risk of disruptions does not carry over to elementary schools at this time. The province, which is currently facing a $10.9 billion deficit it has pledged to eliminate in three years’ time, has stated that there is no new
money available for wage increases. Already, school boards faced with stagnant or declining provincial funding have begun the process of reducing staff not covered under collective agreements, such as special education providers. The OSSTF isn’t willing to accept a pay freeze. Paul Elliot, OSSTF president, said on April 8 that a major concern for the union was contract clawbacks that could impact learning conditions. While Durham region would see the first strike action (on April 20) if talks fall apart, other boards, including Ottawa, could follow. The Ottawa board is listed along with Peel, Halton, Sudbury, Lakehead (Thunder Bay) and Waterloo as regions that could see labour action in the coming days. Under the province’s Labour Relations Act, a minimum of five days’ notice is required to be given to school boards before any strike action taken by the OSSTF.

Mother’s forgetfulness has entire family on hunt
I
could hear Mother rummaging around in the kitchen long before I came down for breakfast. It didn’t sound like her usual early morning bustle. There were sounds of cupboard drawers opening and closing, dishes scraping on shelves, and I could have sworn I heard the old creton couch being pulled out from the wall. No, this wasn’t the usual sounds of an early morning on the farm. When I came into the kitchen, Mother was just about as disheveled as I had ever seen her. She was halfway into the baking cupboard, and some flour had fallen out of the big sifter onto her hair. She was beet red in the face and wore a look of frustration and defeat. “I could have sworn I put those pictures right there,” and she brought the flat of her hand down hard on the porcelain bake surface of the cupboard with a bang. “Someone has taken them, that is all there is to it. And before any of you go off to school, you are going to help me look for them. I have a letter ready to go to Aunt Freda in Chicago, and I want her to see our rhubarb and
MARY COOK Memories flower gardens from last year, and show her what I am about to plant this year. So last summer I took some snaps, and those pictures are going into that letter, and that’s all there is to it.” She sure was agitated. We gobbled down our porridge and Mother dispatched each of us to a different room in the house for the search. We even looked under beds and between the feather tickings, and in the wood box, and in the pockets of the coats that were hanging on the hooks at the back door. Father came in from the barns to see all of us on our hands and knees looking under cupboards, chairs and sofas. “I suppose it would be too much for a man to expect to have his breakfast around here this morning. It
looks to me like Mother has gone and lost something again.” Mother threw him a look like a dagger and moved the fry pan with the sliced potatoes and salt pork from the back of the stove up to the front lid, slamming it as she did so. “Very strange it is to me,” Mother said. “How those pictures can be here one day and gone the next.” She was scraping the tea pot around on the stove. Father suggested she may have been mistaken about where she left the pictures, “Like the time you said you put your harmonica on the ice box, and we found it on the seat of the Model T,” he offered. “Those pictures were right there,” she said, and for emphasis she went over to the cupboard and gave the porcelain board another whack. “Well, there’s nothing more to do about them now,” she said with a big sigh. “But tonight we all search again. I promised those pictures to Aunt Freda, and I will keep her letter over for one more day, but they better turn up this evening.” I wondered what would happen if they didn’t. Now, we had a long lane going
into our farm from the Northcote side road and our mailbox was out on the road. Most days, Father drove out in the buggy to fetch the mail, but if he didn’t manage to get out there, we children brought the mail home after school. We could always tell if there were letters in the box, because the mailman turned it towards the road. That night, the position of the box told us Father had been too busy that day to make it out the lane. Well, there was a letter from Aunt Freda. We handed the pack of mail in to Mother, who announced that she hadn’t found the pictures and she just knew someone had moved them from her place of safe-keeping. She sat down at the kitchen table and opened the letter from our Aunt in Chicago. We heard her cough a few times, which she always did when she was nervous. “Well, what do you know about that?” she said. ”Aunt Freda is thanking me for the pictures I sent last week. Said she loved the one of you children standing beside the rhubarb
patch, and helping me plant the petunias. And was looking forward to hearing about my spring planting coming up.” Mother said there was no need to bring up the missing and then suddenly found pictures to Father. He had enough on his mind with trying to get the last of the seeding done and all. It wasn’t to be the last time Mother would mislay something, and have the entire family go in all directions to search for it. I sat on a chair and pondered the situation. And I wondered silently how Mother, who was so organized could misplace so much so often, and how a letter would go all the way out to Chicago and an answer come back in less than a week. Yes, we were certainly living in a miracle age. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books? Go to smashwords. com and type MaryRCook for e-book purchase details.

OPINION
Connected to your community
In defence of the 40-hour work week BRYNNA T here are all kinds of promises out in cyberspace that we can eliminate the 40-hour workweek. How? We can be more productive, of course. Just start churning out more in less time. But is that what employers really want in the knowledge economy? It’s widely understood – although only loosely backed through research – that office workers are productive just three hours in an eight-hour day. The rest of the time is spent in meetings, making food, surfing the Internet and otherwise staring at the wall. There’s little to prove this is universally true. But as a business owner for more than 10 years, I’ve necessarily had to identify my own patterns of productivity. I’ve often worked alone on contracts, with the knowledge I’ll only get paid for the final product.
LESLIE
Capital Muse Understanding my peak productive times has been essential to building a successful business. What have I discovered? If you’re expected to create stuff out of your head – business or marketing plans, engineering designs or any kind of creative content – you need to work so called “dead productivity hours” into your day. If you don’t – if you try to push yourself to create eight or 10 hours each day -- you’ll burn out, plain and simple.
If you have some control over the structure of your day, start mapping your own productivity. Everyone may have their own patterns, but for me writing, or any creative, taskoriented work, is best done in the morning. My ideal writing time is 5 a.m., before anyone gets out of bed, before I even look at email or start to think about what else is on my plate for the day. If I’ve taken the time to write even a few notes or go over
a few facts the night before, I can churn out thousands of words in the first hour of my day, in my pyjamas with a hot cup of coffee. Generally, this puts me on a buzz until about noon. I can channel the momentum of accomplishing something early in the day into many tasks until lunchtime. After that, I fall out of my groove for a couple of hours. I become more distracted, unable to sit for another second.

Curtain to go up on double bill at Canterbury Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com
Inside the dimly lit amphitheatre, students meticulously examine one anotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s period costumes and white wigs. Others hover around a teen working furiously at a sewing machine. Costumes and fabric litter the floor around her. The pace is intense, but for many of the Grade 12 Canterbury High School drama students, preparing for a live audience is their calling. In one week, the curtain will go up on a double bill of year-end shows, which the graduating actors hope will be the crowning achievement of their four years in the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drama program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a commitment, a dedication. They really take ownership of it, which is what I love,â&#x20AC;? said Sheila Knight, a longtime Canterbury drama teacher who will direct 23 Grade 12 students in Candide,
a satirical play written by Scott Hunter based on the famous novel of the same name crafted by French philosopher Voltaire. The story takes place during the 1700s and follows Candide, a student who goes on a journey with his sidekick Cacambo and a flock of sheep to the New World. They travel to 11 countries on four continents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything that we learned culminates to this production, as well as the months of rehearsal that go into this,â&#x20AC;? said Westboro resident Caitlin Stever, 18, who will perform the roles of the inspector general, a Bulgarian soldier and a Parisien with scurvy. Behind the scenes, she is one of three producers and is also on the hair and makeup crew. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes when people see the show they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how long it takes, and everything that they see has been made, found, borrowed,â&#x20AC;? said
Stever. Candide not only provides the students with content that tests their abilities as cast and crew members, but also offers enough acting roles for everyone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tons of characters, which is exactly what we need,â&#x20AC;? said Knight, whose students have recently been working late into the night and on Saturdays. Knightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proteges do it all. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re responsible for production, fundraising, makeup, costumes, constructing the set, publicity and crafting the tickets, in addition to acting in the show. Their hard work will be worth the effort, helping to ensure they will be prepared for a plethora of stage as well as behind-the-scenes theatre work upon graduation, as well as in non-theatrical roles in life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s communications skills, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teamwork skills,â&#x20AC;? Knight said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what theatre is.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really an ensemble. They have to be working together.â&#x20AC;? Darren Emery, 17, will perform as Candide, a character he described as very optimistic, loyal and dedicated to his professor and his teachings, as well as somewhat naive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;His servant is actually a girl in disguise, and sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s falling in
love with him, so occasionally sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll flirt with him, but he canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see it,â&#x20AC;? said Emery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d say heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a really fun character,â&#x20AC;? the Old Ottawa South resident said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun working with the different quirky characters that he comes across and how he reacts to the situations heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in.â&#x20AC;?
The Candide set, which features a large spinning map of the world, will be pushed to the back of the stage in between shows to make room for Die Kollektive, directed by Paul Griffin, head of Canterburyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drama program. See STUDENTS, page 27

Students to showcase Candide, Die Kollektive Continued from page 26
Die Kollektive tells the story of German playwright Bertolt Brecht, considered a revolutionary in modern theatre, and shines the spotlight on the lives of the writers, actors and collaborators in his collective. It was Griffin’s students who pitched Jean Betts’ play, which is based on John Fuegi’s book, Brecht and Co. “There’s a couple of things that are especially important to me. One, the idea of the male who is empowered and how unprotected women who work with them quite often can be,” he said. Brecht was considered to be the 20th century’s most important playwright, but who apparently took credit for much of the material written by the women he collaborated with. “In Canadian theatre right now, there’s a lot of interesting discussion among playwrights, especially female playwrights, in how their work doesn’t seem to be getting done,” Griffin said.
With 18 female and five male students in his cast, Griffin thought it would be interesting to see what his predominantly female cast could bring to the play. “We have eight women playing the lead man,” said Heather Barr of Orléans, who plays the part of Elisabeth Hauptmann and is a stage manager and works with the show’s publicity team. “We felt that having a man play (Brecht) just wouldn’t have the same effect. We felt that people would have more sympathy (for him).” “It’s hard to wrap your head around, but once you see it – it worked in a lot of ways,” said Lindsay Wilson, 18, of Barrhaven, who is working on publicity and fundraising. She also plays Ruth, a woman who starts out in control but becomes as distraught as the other women in Brecht’s collective. The material is complex and heavy, but it was important to show what the women in Brecht’s collective endured “and
give them a voice that they never had,” said Barr. “It was definitely a challenge and I think it was really important to us in our last year being able to work with something that dealt with issues that were obviously big in the era when this was performed,” said Wilson. “We wanted to work with something that was going to make people think.”
Canterbury student Heather Barr, 17, centre, is surrounded by her peers, who are all performing the role of playwright Bertolt Brecht in their production of ‘Die Kollektive’ during a recent rehearsal. The curtain on Canterbury’s double bill of shows goes up next week.
SHOW TIMES
Die Kollektive will be performed on April 20 and 24 at 4 p.m., April 21 and 23 at 7:30 p.m. and April 25 at 4 p.m. Candide will be presented on April 20 and 24 at 7:30 p.m., April 21 and 23 at 4 p.m. and on April 25 at 1 p.m. For ticket reservations, call 613-737-1191, ext. 333.

Family with whooping cough out of isolation Mom tells of family’s decision to vaccinate Adam Kveton
adam.kveton@metroland.com
When Tara Hills first decided to write a blog post detailing her decision to have her seven kids vaccinated, she never thought her story would go viral. But days before she planned to publish the post, she realized it was a bacteria that she would have to worry about instead. Hills, a 36-year-old mother of seven children living in Glen Cairn, was against vaccination and had been for years. Three of her kids had been partially vaccinated years before, while the rest hadn’t received any. But, after reading about an outbreak of measles in Disneyland, she decided to research vaccination until the question of whether it was safe or necessary for her children was put to rest, she said. To her surprise, after 50 hours of research, she was convinced that her children should be vaccinated, and scheduled doctor’s appointments for all seven of them. But, just a few days before the first round of vaccinations, she was informed
by doctors at CHEO that her kids, all seven of them, had whooping cough. The bacterial infection, which is best guarded against by vaccination, proved to be a strong instructional tool, said Hills. In fear for her children and for those they had been in contact with, Hills decided to write about this new development in her blog post and publish it on The Scientific Parent website on April 8. After five days of quarantine and antibiotic treatment, her family’s whooping cough ordeal is just about over, said Hills. “They are no longer contagious,” she said, adding that Ottawa Public Health has given the family the green light to go out into the community again. Public health officials would not confirm that the Hills are no longer contagious, citing privacy concerns. The family is happy to be out of the house and no longer a danger to their friends and community members, said Hills, but they are still dealing with the aftermath of the blog post. Despite some broken relationships with friends and angry comments on the
Internet, Hills said she doesn’t regret the decision to tell the world about her and her husband’s decision. “I knew that we were going to take some hits for the home team,” said Hills. “But it was worth it.” ANSWERING QUESTIONS
Hills’s decision to dig into her concern over vaccines began about two months ago, when she committed to doing some in-depth research via a Facebook post, after reading about the outbreak of measles in Disneyland that began in early January. Though the family had vaccinated some of their kids years ago, Hills said, “We stopped because we were scared and didn’t know who to trust.” “Was the medical community just paid off puppets of a big pharma-government-media conspiracy? Were these vaccines even necessary in this day and age?” After 50 hours of research, and speaking with a friendly pro-vaccination public health advocate, Hills decided that she had read enough – she was convinced her children needed to get vaccinated. See CAN’T WIN, page 30

“I had wanted to prove that I was doing the right thing (by not vaccinating),” she said. “I love my kids!” But, asked to write her questions about vaccinations down and seek to answer them one by one, she found the big pharma conspiracy theory didn’t hold up. “My questions boiled down to, do we really need to (vaccinate)? My second was how safe is it really? And the third was, can you prove that?” said Hills. It turns out they can, she said. “I turned to my husband after all this study and I said, ‘Gavin, I rest my case … I don’t need to search this anymore.” Feeling duped, embarrassed and stupid, Hills said she and her husband had to accept that they had made a mistake, and that, now that their position on vaccination had changed, they should follow through. They scheduled their kids to get vaccinated over the first three Thursdays of April. But, days before, Hills found out that what she had thought was a persistent cough was actually whooping cough, and that all seven of her kids were infected. During her research, Hills had been approached to write a blog post about her research and her decision to leave the anti-vaccination camp for thescientificparent.org. Expecting to publish the story on April 12, “That was way to easy!”
Hills informed her editor about her children’s diagnosis, and that she would publish a reedited story about the whole thing that same day. “I was like, I need to share this now, and I need to share it from my situation now because I know that this is going to be so embarrassing, but I know this is going to be so powerful,” said Hills. The decision has resulted in a mixed bag of reactions, said Hills, from the downright angry to encouraging. Both reactions make sense, she said. “A lot of people in the public sphere have been amazing, very gracious, more than I deserve, I know it,” said Hills. “I know I don’t deserve to be treated as kindly as I have been by some people.” At the same time, she said, “I understand their anger at the stereotype that I represent and the threat that they perceive us as. I totally, totally understand and I don’t dismiss that.” “I know there are some people who say, ‘You know it’s not any more than she deserves. She should enjoy the sound of her kids coughing,’” said Hills. While she understands where those people are coming from, she said that kind of attitude is not going to help convince anti-vaxxers. In her research, Hills said she found that, statistically, the majority of anti-vaxxers are educated, middle-class people. “People who love their kids,” she said.
R0013221671
Can’t win over anti-vaxxers with anger: mom “If you understand that about your opponent, and you don’t treat them like an enemy, but like somebody that you really genuinely want to help, I think that could change the whole social norm of how we discuss this in our private dialogues and in the public sphere, and that I think is going to be the biggest change that this health issue needs in Canada and across the world is a change in how we talk about each other,” said Hills. Though she knows the media attention will soon blow over, Hills said she doesn’t know how her community is going to react to her kids now, or to her now that they are out of quarantine. They still have a cough, she said, but are not contagious after five days of antibiotic treatment. Ottawa Public Health information supports this, stating that those infected with whooping cough are no longer contagious after five days of antibiotic treatment. Young children are generally the only ones who can be hurt by whooping cough, according the city information. Hills said Ottawa Public Health told her no one has contracted whooping cough due to contact with her children. “I can understand if people are concerned if they’ve been put at risk totally inadvertently,” said Hills. But the risk is over. Hills added that her kids are scheduled to get vaccinated later this month.

Ottawa’s waste diversion rates dropped in 2014 Emma Jackson
emma.jackson@metroland.com
City staff are asking residents to consider the longterm trends when it comes to waste diversion in Ottawa, after fewer tonnes of organics and recycling were diverted from landfill in 2014. A memo to council dated March 25 shows waste diversion dropped 1.3 per cent compared to 2013. Garbage increased by the ton while organics went down. Of the three recycling streams, only blue box collection increased its volume. The city collected waste from more homes in 2014, which accounts for some of the extra 3.9 per cent of garbage sent to landfill, but curbside diversion into recycling went down from 51.9 per cent to 50.6 per cent year over year. Despite 2014’s slight reductions, the city points out that the overall waste diversion rate has risen more than 15 per cent since 2009,
largely because of the green bin compost program which came online in 2010. The city now diverts more than 50 per cent of residential waste away from landfills every year. ORGANICS DOWN
Of the three recycling streams, the curbside green bin compost collection saw the biggest drop in volume year over year, declining 2.7 per cent compared to 2013. That year, the city collected 83,000 tonnes of material, compared to 81,000 in 2014. Solid waste services manager Marilyn Journeaux said the two extra tonnes can largely be attributed to the miserably wet summer Ottawa residents endured in 2013. “Things were green and lush,” Journeaux said. “People cut their lawns more, they trimmed their bushes back. It results in
more leaf and yard waste.” The 2014 growing season, however, was closer to normal. “We’ve always seen fairly wide leaf and yard waste variations in the tonnages,” Journeaux said. One of the biggest challenges for organics diversion is getting the green bin program into multi-residential properties such as apartment buildings. While blue and black box programs are mandatory, the green bin program is for the most part still only being used by single-family homes. About 200 of the city’s approximately 1,000 multiresidential buildings use the green bin right now, representing about 10,000 residents, Journeaux said. It’s mostly townhouse developments and low- and mid-rise buildings. The problem is that older buildings pre-dating the recycling era don’t always
have the space to store the bins. “A lot of those older buildings in the downtown core don’t have parking garages ... they don’t have grounds,” Journeaux said. “It’s logistically impossible or extremely difficult.” She said the city works one-on-one with willing property managers to come up with unique solutions for their building. And now, any new multiresidential development in the city must provide space for green bin and recycling containers, so “on a go-forward basis it will be much easier to address,” she added.
“The (Ottawa) Citizen dropped their Sunday paper a couple of years ago, and the physical size of the Ottawa Sun is much smaller than it was a few years ago,” Journeaux said. “That has an impact, as well as online readership. A lot of people are not getting newspapers to their door anymore.” She said that trend has been partly offset by an increase in cardboard, which she guessed might have something to do with extra packaging from online shopping and the rise of wholesale stores like Costco.
paper products
The blue box program was the only stream that marked a slight volume increase. Journeaux said audits have shown people are literally throwing away money. For example, she said aluminum products – everything from foil wrap and la-
The amount of black box materials collected (mostly paper products) was down for the fourth year in a row – a trend blamed largely on the downturn in newspapers.
GLASS AND CANS
sagna trays to tin cans – are valuable and can be recycled even if they’re not very clean. “Aluminum is worth a lot of money,” Journeaux said. “We’re not afraid of a little food.” What the city is afraid of, however, is film plastic like food wrap and plastic bags, which currently are not accepted in Ottawa. Journeaux said there’s no market for recycled plastic bags if they’re in any way unclean – which is virtually impossible to achieve once they’re thrown in a blue box. She suggested instead taking clean bags back to retailers for recycling. The March 25 memo says a strategic promotions plan is in the works to better educate the public about what can go in the recycling – particularly the green bin. “With any new change it takes time for people to adapt and get with the program,” Journeaux said.

Ottawa greets victorious Senators with electric homecoming Erin McCracken
erin.mccracken@metroland.com
You would have thought the Ottawa Senators were bringing home the Stanley Cup. An estimated 2,000 diehard Sens fans came wearing autographed jerseys and carrying flags attached to hockey sticks, foam fingers and homemade signs, surprising the players, coaches and management with a welcome home victory parade. Just hours after the Ottawa Senators won 3-1 against the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday, April 11, earning the club a spot in the Stanley Cup playoffs, throngs of wellwishers lined Comet Private outside the Esso Avitat at the Ottawa International Airport. “This feels like the Stanley Cup for me,” said South Keys resident Isaac Layton, who wore a jersey and proudly carried a Senators flag. “I’m so, so, so happy. I feel like we got the Stanley Cup. “Even if they fail the first round, I don’t care, as long as they made the playoffs,” he said. “Fourteen points down (and) in six weeks they made the playoffs? That’s crazy.” Layton sat glued to the TV screen during the game against the Flyers. With every goal, he felt less nervous, be-
fore finally breathing a sigh of relief that the team had made it to the playoffs. “We’re good, we’re good. We’re going to the airport,” he said gleefully. Paul Disley, owner of JPD Aviation which operates the Esso Avitat, the team’s arrival point in Ottawa, said he hasn’t seen that many fans line the road outside his business since 2007, when the Senators last made the Stan-
weeks,” he said. First out of the hangar was Senators general manager Bryan Murray, followed by players who carefully navigated their cars and trucks through the cheering throngs of fans. Some players in the passenger seat filmed the procession on their cellphones, gave the thumbs up or held out their hands for highfives. All wore big smiles.
““It was just one of those ‘can’t catch your breath’ moments. It was almost like being in the playoffs.” Hélène Humphrey, Sens fan
ley Cup final. “2007 was crazy,” he recalled. Disley knew the team’s homecoming on April 11 would attract fans. Around 5 p.m. less than half a dozen people wearing Sens jerseys waited in the cold wind for the team’s plane to touch down. Over the next hour, dozens swelled to thousands, Disley said. “I didn’t think it would be as big as this, but I knew there was going to be people here, win or lose, because (of) just how fantastic the team has been playing the last six
“The team this year – there’s a lot of young guys, right. So they’ve never experienced anything like this,” Disley said of the legion of Senators fans who welcomed the team home. “They’re not used to seeing that when they come in.” Orléans resident Hélène Humphrey and her two sons joined good friends, Glebe residents and well-known philanthropists Barbara Crook and Dan Greenberg, along the route. Humphrey and her family watched Saturday’s game against Philadelphia with
bated breath. “It was very, very exciting,” she said. “It was just one of those ‘can’t catch your breath’ moments. It was almost like being in the playoffs.” Her son, Kyle, who was born with spina bifida, didn’t want to miss the team’s arrival at the airport. Kyle’s motto is there’s no such thing as can’t, and held a sign echoing this. “He lives that and he always says that the Senators have saved his life so many times, kept him going, and kept him having a reason to continue,” Humphrey said. Kyle, who has had 94 surgeries, has been bed-ridden for the better part of three years, but was determined to go to the airport for the team’s arrival. In 2007, he was in a coma for months, and his mother said it’s because of the Senators that doctors saw signs of life in her son. “I used to put the earphones on his ears when the Sens were playing and the heart monitor – you could see it go up,” Humphrey said. During Kyle’s long recuperation period, he felt motivated and buoyed by his passion for the hometown team. “So they mean a lot to him and our family,” Humphrey said.

Orléans resident Sue Horrocks and South Keys resident Isaac Layton had never met before they joined a legion of other Ottawa Senators fans in showing their pride for their victorious hometown team after the players flew in to the Ottawa International Airport from Philadelphia on Saturday, April 11.

The federal government will chip in to help cover the cost of underground downtown tunnels to hold sewage overflow. Local politicians made the announcement on April 7 at the Robert O. Pickard Environmental Centre. The two interconnected tunnels will run from LeBreton Flats to Stanley Park, and along Kent Street from Chamberlain Street to Wellington Street. The tunnels will store overflow sewage to prevent it from spilling into and contaminating the Ottawa River. Provincial and municipal governments had already committed funding to the Ottawa River Action Plan; the federal government will contribute $62.09 million to the $231.3 million project. There is an equal contribution from the provincial governments, leaving the city on the hook for over $100 million. The tunnel is one of many initiatives under the Ottawa River Action Plan, all with the goal of cleaning up the river’s water. Other projects have included reduction of stormwater impacts and improving wastewater treatment. Ottawa-Orléans MP Royal Galipeau made the announcement about the tunnel’s fund-
ing, citing Petrie Island as one of the city’s beaches that could greatly improve from less-contaminated water. Local residents will be better able to enjoy Petrie Island, the jewel of Orléans, to the fullest,” Galipeau said. It’s common for Petrie Island to be closed because of contamination after heavy rainfalls that have lead to sewage overflowing into the water. “The Ottawa River has had its difficulties as a result of sewage overflows and spillage into the river, there have been red flag warnings that have prevented swimmers from bathing at Petrie Island, there were a total of 24 days last summer,” said Nepean-Carleton MP Pierre Poilevre. “We will have fewer of these closures; there will be less overflow of sewage into the Ottawa River.” Politicians from all levels of government spoke at the announcement, which had nearly 40 minutes of speeches, much of them congratulatory to the other levels of government. Marie-France Lalonde said much of Ottawa’s infrastructure was built in the post-war period, so modernizations and updates are a ‘major undertaking’. Mayor Jim Watson appeared, on crutches as he recovers from his winter snowmobile accident, to speak and answer questions.
He said previous efforts to clean up the river through the Ottawa River Action Plan have resulted in an 80 per cent decrease in raw sewage that goes into the Ottawa River; this phase of the plan should eliminate the rest of the raw sewage from spilling over into the water, Watson said. He spoke about the impact to the city’s downtown core while the new tunnels are built. He said there will be some savings because some of the work can piggyback on the light rail tunnel digging. Schedules will be developed by the city, and there will be some traffic disruptions while the tunnels are being built. The work done in the immediate core and tourist areas will be finished by the first day of 2017, in time for the city’s celebration of Canada’s 150th birthday. The rest of the work will be completed by 2019, Watson said. Poilevre faced questions on whether the Ottawa River Action Plan in the city of Ottawa is enough without similar plans in towns and municipalities outside the city but along the river. Ottawa is the major population centre, so cleaning it up will ‘go a long way’ he said, adding they were happy to work with other municipalities in the region.

Cirque Mechanics Pedal Punk at Centrepointe Theatre It’s a circus in there, but not the circus you’ve come to expect. Gone are the days of elephants and rodeo clowns, no more lions jumping through hoops, and perhaps the one thing we’ll all miss, the popcorn, has sadly said its final goodbye. Once you’ve taken a moment to mourn that bu ery goodness, embrace the new, chic, and more acroba c circus coming to Centrepointe Theatres - Cirque Mechanics. Founded in 2004 by mechanical prodigy Chris Lashua, Cirque Mechanics has been hailed as “the greatest contribu on to the American circus since Cirque du Soleil” by Spectacle Magazine. Cirque Mechanics has quickly established itself as a premier American circus, with a unique approach to performance, storytelling, and innova ve mechanical staging. Although inspired by the modern circus, Cirque Mechanics finds its roots in the mechanical, and its heart in the stories of American ingenuity. Their show displays a raw quality rarely found in the modern circus, one that makes their message meless and relevant. The stories are wrapped in acroba cs, mechanical wonders, and of course, a bit of clowning around.

Fixer upper Amina Jama, left, Herongate resident Mavis Finnamore, Michael St. Arnaud, Blaine Cameron and Senervil Dorvilus protest outside an apartment building on Russell Road on Thursday, April 9. The tenants, through the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN, are upset with what they say is ‘negligent action’ from landlords. The group is calling on the city to enact bylaws that would ensure landlords respond in a timely manner to urgent requests for repairs to rental properties.
This magical circus is designed for all ages, with flying unicycles, wheeled acrobats, pole climbers and trapeze ar sts inspiring a sense of wonder for anyone in the audience. On May 2, immerse yourself in steam punk culture, a post-apocalyp c world of machines powered by steam, where the power comes from the acroba c strength of the ar sts - unfortunately, you’ll have to go without the popcorn.

Domino (A168805) a good-natured kitty-cat who loves everyone and everything (except other cats). Domino has even been known to become friends with dogs! He is such a big boy, you won’t believe he’s only two years old! You will likely find Domino unwinding in his bed, as he likes to take it easy. He can get tired out from too much play, so a slower approach and day filled with light activities would be best for this cuddle monster.
For more information on Mikka and all the adoptable animals, stop by the OHS at 245 West Hunt Club Rd. Check out our website at www. ottawahumane.ca to see photos and descriptions of the animals available for adoption.

Celebrating National Volunteer Appreciation Every year, organizations across Canada mark National Volunteer Week to recognize, celebrate and thank Canada’s 13.3 millionplus volunteers. This year, National Volunteer Week takes place April 12-18. Volunteers touch almost everything we accomplish at the Ottawa Humane Society. You might be surprised to know that the OHS is supported by over 800 volunteers, and the number is growing every month. With over 800 volunteers, it’s not hard to see that volunteers are the lifeblood of the OHS. Their gift of time, dedication and enthusiasm allows us to continue to provide care for more than 10,000 animals each year, and accomplish so much for our community. Our volunteers give their time to more than 26 programs and in 2014, gave 0416.R0013225037

Volunteers are the driving force behind giving so many animals a second chance, and for making our community a more humane place for all.

Representatives from The Royal and the Mach-Gaensslen Foundation of Canada gathered on April 9 to announce a $1-million prize for mental health research. Attending the event were Dr. Zul Merali, president and CEO of The Royal’s Institute of Mental Health Research, left, Dr. Chris Carruthers, chair of the Mach-Gaensslen Foundation, and George Webber, president and CEO of The Royal.
The Royal launches $1M mental health research prize Mach-Gaensslen Foundation gift paves way for annual prizes Steph Willems
steph.willems@metroland.com
The Royal is hoping a donation of $1 million will spur advancements in mental health care by the country’s top young researchers. That’s the aim of a new mental health research prize announced on April 9 - a partnership between the leading mental health centre and the Mach-Gaensslen Foundation of Canada, a philanthropic organization devoted to cardiology, oncology and psychiatry. Open to early-career Canadian clinical researchers, the prize will see annual gifts of $100,000 awarded to promising psychiatric researchers, with winners selected by a jury of medical professionals. Calling mental illness “a huge burden on our society,” George Webber, president and CEO of The Royal, said the only way to reduce the harmful impact is to broaden knowledge of the brain and new forms of care. “Our goal is to celebrate the success of outstanding young researchers, and encourage them to continue the pursuit of knowledge and innovation,” said Webber. “These are the things that will lead to breakthroughs in mental health care.” The Mach-Gaensslen Foundation had previously gifted $1 million to The Royal last October in order to establish the DIFD Mach-Gaensslen Chair in Suicide Prevention
Research. The foundation has donated more than $3 million to medical research initiatives since 2005. Dr. Chris Carruthers, chairman of the Mach-Gaensslen Foundation, called psychiatry and mental health an area of study in serious need of resources. “Historically, society has provided more financial support to oncology – cancer – and cardiology – heart and stroke – than to mental health,” said Carruthers, adding that the idea for the prize was inspired by a talk given by Gov. Gen David Johnson in 2013. “Our board spent a good amount of time collectively talking about his comments. We recognize the importance of mental health and the need to support efforts to improve mental health. “We recognize the important of research. We decided that a prize in mental health could make a significant difference.” The foundation teamed up with The Royal for the prize due to its high-profile status in the country’s mental health field. Winners will be announced in October, beginning this year. “We expect individuals to compete for this, as with any other major event,” said Dr. Zul Merali, president and CEO of The Royal’s Institute of Mental Health Research. “For the prize, we have in place a panel of experts. These are internationally recognized experts in the field, and are already in place, waiting for the applications to come in … This panel of judges will select the best one for this year, then do the same thing for 10 years.”

‘Young and hungry’ is Sens’ playoff rally cry Erin McCracken
erin.mccracken@metroland.com
Despite a false start to the opening of the Sens Mile on Elgin Street in downtown Ottawa, fans didn’t have to wait long for the signs to go up and stay up. “All’s well that ends well,” Mayor Jim Watson said at the corner of Elgin and Lisgar streets on Sunday, April 12. Just two months ago, a lot of people had written off the Ottawa Senators as playoff contenders, “but the true fans believed in their team, their captain and their new coach and their president of the whole organization, and they have come through,” Watson said, before unveiling the new signs the day after the Sens clinched a spot in the Stanley Cup playoffs with a 3-1 win over the Philadelphia Flyers. Watson singled out goaltender Andrew Hammond for doing “a remarkable job, a history-setting performance,” and said while anything can
happen in the playoffs, he hopes the team can build on its 3-1 regular season record versus the Montreal Canadiens. The two rival teams were set to face off on Wednesday, April 15 in Montreal in the first round of the playoffs. Flanked by several councillors and Senators president Cyril Leeder, Watson unveiled a new heritage design for the Sens Mile signs, which can now be seen on posts on Elgin along with signs in the original design. See FRIENDLY, page 48

Hydro help en route for some Steph Willems
steph.willems@metroland.com
Low-income households can expect to see their hydro bills reduced under a program introduced by the Ontario government on March 26, while other hydro users will see an increase. The Ontario Electricity Sup-
port Program will be administered by the Ontario Energy Board, and will go into effect on Jan. 1, 2016. Factoring income levels and the number of people in a household, a sliding scale is used to calculate how much a qualifying household would save, ranging from $20 to $50 a month. The timing of the sub-
sidy coincides with the elimination of the 10 per cent Ontario Clean Energy Benefit at the end of this year. Jennifer Beaudry, spokeswoman for Ontario energy minister Bob Chiarelli, said the program would be paid for by adding to non-eligible ratepayers’ bills “an increase of about 70 cents a month.”
This means a single person making $28,001 a year will be paying more on their hydro bill to provide a $20 a month subsidy for someone making $28,000 a year. They would also be paying the same fee as those in higher income brackets. While the looming elimination of the debt retirement charge will save ratepayers an average of $5.60 per month on their hydro bills, the elimination of the OCEB and future rate in-
creases will see Ontarians paying about $120 a year more for hydro, according to comments made by Chiarelli on March 26. Beaudry elaborated on that figure, stating, “the approximate $10 monthly increase is outlined in The Long Term Energy Plan and factors in the removal of the OCEB.” She added that the ministry was currently tracking lower than that projection. The province’s Long Term
Energy Plan, released in December 2013, forecasted a 42 per cent increase in hydro rates by 2018. Hydro Ottawa, the city’s electricity distributor, is currently mulling a five-year investment plan that would see a roughly $10 a month increase to the delivery portion of a ratepayer’s hydro bill by 2020. This would add another $120 to the $120 a year increase mentioned by Chiarelli.

Ottawa South News - Thursday, April 16, 2015
Continued from page 46
“This is a tradition that started a couple of years ago,” Watson said. “It really helps the community gather, not just on Elgin Street but throughout the city of Ottawa, to watch our beloved Ottawa Senators.” Calling the past two months “magical,” Leeder told the large crowd of fans and political representatives outside the old city hall that “the good news is the fun is just getting started right now.” This marks the 15th time in the last 18 years that the team has made it to the Stanley Cup playoffs, and Leeder said this time around the team’s rallying cry is “young and hungry. And we’re coming in hot.” “We’re looking forward to getting the city excited again, and it starts right here on the Sens Mile down here on Elgin Street,” the club president said. “It’s felt like we’ve been in the playoffs for two months. It feels like we’re already in the conference final from (the) excitement and a community behind us right now.” The playoffs will not only inject excitement into Ottawa, but are also expected to boost local businesses. “It’s good for the city, good for spirit, good for the economy, and certainly good for the team,” Watson told reporters in French. “We had a rough winter,” he said, switching to English. “It was very, very cold, and I think once you start to see Sens Mile signs go up later today and you start to see the patios opening and big screen TVs out on Elgin Street, it’s going to be great.” FRIENDLY RIVALRY
Watson has been seeking suggestions from residents on what Ottawa should bet with Montreal Mayor Denis Coderre on the outcome of
this playoff round. “Now to put a little historical perspective in this, the last time we played the Canadiens in the playoffs, the Senators won, which was great,” Watson said, prompting cheers from the crowd. “We had a bet at the time with (former Montreal) mayor (Michael) Applebaum and he wore a Sens jersey because they lost. “And he was supposed to send me Montreal smoked meat the next day, but unfortunately he was arrested,” Watson said. “I hope that Mayor Coderre is not arrested and he lives up to his bet and
“We’re looking forward to getting the city excited again, and it starts right here on the Sens Mile down here on Elgin Street” cyril leeder, senators president
sends the smoked meat to all of us here in Ottawa.” The two mayors agreed Monday, April 13 on the terms of the bet: • The losing city’s mayor will wear the winning team’s jersey to a council meeting • The losing city’s mayor will fly the winning team’s flag at city hall for one week • If the Sens win, Montreal’s mayor will send Montreal smoked meat to Watson • If the Habs win, Watson will send BeaverTails to Mayor Coderre CURSE? WHAT CURSE?
The day after the Sens lost their third consecutive game last month, College Ward
Coun. Rick Chiarelli literally knocked on wood. He hoped to reverse the curse many fans think he brought on the team after he asked council to install the Sens Mile signs before the team had clinched a playoff spot. Council unanimously agreed on March 25. “Obviously, if we’d waited one more day, we wouldn’t have made the playoffs,” Chiarelli said during the official opening of the Sens Mile. The same day council voted, the club president asked the city to hold off on launching Sens Mile. “We think it was the right decision,” Leeder said. “We didn’t want to be jumping the gun and really appear to be getting ahead of ourselves, and put the right message out to our competitors who we’ve still had to win some games against and also to our own club and our own fans.” Chiarelli and his losingstreak curse were the talk of the town. “Everywhere I went people wanted selfies with me,” he said. An online petition was even launched in a bid to have him removed from city council. Amid the uproar, the Ottawa Sun helped him conduct some research on antidotes for curses. Chiarelli said he followed a study conducted by the University of Chicago, knocked on wood, and the team began chalking up the wins again. “If the curse is real, then the antidote has to be real, too,” he said. “They come from the same science.” Though the jinx seems to have been removed, Chiarelli is remaining very mindful when it comes to cheering for the home team during this playoff run. “I even got a new Sens jersey, but I was told not to wear it in case it created some other kind of energy.”

This weeks puzzle answers in next weeks issue
Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Think before you speak, Aries. Quick wit might lead to some easy laughs, but it’s best to consider how your words will affect those around you before you speak. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Give yourself a little more time to solve a puzzling problem, Taurus. Within a few days you might have the fresh perspective you need to determine a solution. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, criticism coming your way is intended to be constructive. Listen to what others are saying and recognize that they are advocates, not adversaries. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, give yourself time to form an opinion on an important issue in your life. The more time you give yourself, the more clearly you will see the issue at hand. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, not everyone moves at your breakneck speed. Just because others aren’t keeping up doesn’t mean they don’t understand what is going on. Give others time to catch up. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, a budding relationship demands your attention this week. Give this relationship the attention it deserves, and you will be glad for having done so.
LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, resist the urge to rehash an old issue. You and others have long since moved on, and there are more positive things to focus on in the next week. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, your financial savvy comes to the forefront this week. Put your skill for finding a deal to work and you and your accountant will be glad you did. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, a goal that seems unlikely is still worth working toward. Others will be there to offer support and guidance as you pursue this very unique and rewarding goal. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, a great opportunity to express yourself comes along this week. Make the most of this chance to let others see your creative side. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, a friend or family member looks to you for advice this week. Do your best to put yourself in his or her shoes and let him or her know your support is unwavering. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, you have the wherewithal to complete a projects other may never even attempt. Put your best foot forward and get to work. 0416
