Local skater leads U.S. college Sami Evelyn named hockey co-captain in Connecticut STAFF The University of Connecticut Huskies women’s hockey team has named Nepean’s Sami Evelyn as one of two team captains.

Evelyn is in her senior year at the school, and last season was named a second team all-star in Hockey East, the college conference that’s home to the Huskies.

She attended John McCrae Secondary School in Barrhaven.

While the captain’s C will be one change for Evelyn, it’s a small step compared to her change of position on the ice. She will transition from defence to centre this year.

She was third on the team in points from the blue-line last season with 19, on five goals and a team-high 14 assists.

ON GUARD FOR THEE RCMP officers stand at attention on Oct. 5 during the official opening of the new M.J. Nadon building in Barrhaven, the new national headquarters of the RCMP. For details see page 3.

MacLeod runs away with Nepean-Carleton NEVIL HUNT AND ZACHARY LAFLAMME As expected, Nepean-Carleton stayed true blue on election night, with Progressive Conservative Lisa MacLeod

easily eclipsing her challengers on Oct. 6.

MacLeod received 54.5 per cent of the vote in the riding, far ahead of Liberal Don Dransfield at 27 per cent.

The NDP’s Ric Dagenais came

third, doubling the party’s percentage of the vote in NepeanCarleton compared to the 2007 provincial election, from 7.4 to 14.8 per cent.

RCMP warns of computer-fix scam If someone calls you claiming to be able to protect your computer from viruses, your best bet is to just hang up the phone. Don’t give the caller your computer access codes and don’t provide your credit card information.

That’s the advice from the RCMP and the Canadian Anti Fraud Centre.

The RCMP says virus scam has grown to epidemic proportions in Canada, now accounting for between 70 and 80 per cent of frauds reported daily to the fraud centre.

“We began noticing virus scam calls in March 2010,” said RCMP Sgt. Paul Proulx. “Now, they’re the scam we deal

with most often.”

This dramatic increase means the scam is working – more and more Canadians are being targeted by the virus scam.

“If a scammer is able to log on to your computer then he has access to all the personal information you have stored there, including your banking information,” says Proulx.

Canadians should be aware that not all virus scams are conducted over the phone.

Many Canadians report being scammed after responding to Internet pop-up ads for anti-virus software.

Huskies play near Ottawa over Thanksgiving weekend Continued from front This year she will be looked to as a playmaker, centering the top line.

In a press release, the school said Evelyn is expected to provide experience among the forwards. As a whole the team boasts just seven seniors and juniors playing alongside a deep group of sophomores and freshmen.

SEASON-OPENER Last season, UConn put together a 13-19-

3 record and made its fifth straight Hockey East Tournament. The Huskies season ended with a quarter-final loss to Providence (Rhode Island).

Last weekend the Huskies opened the 2011-12 campaign versus Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.

Following the season-opening series against RPI, Evelyn was scheduled to come within a short drive of Nepean on Thanksgiving weekend. The Huskies were to be in Upstate New York to play St. Lawrence University in Canton on Oct. 8, and Clarkson University in Potsdam on Oct. 9.

Mounties get their headquarters Building named after former commissioner of national force JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

The opening of the new RCMP national headquarters in Barrhaven was also a celebration of women’s roles in the force with the annoucement that the building would bear the name of Maurice Jean Nadon – the former commissioner credited with leading the way for the first female troop.

The M.J. Nadon Government of Canada Building, in the South Merivale Business Park will accommodate about 3,000 members and employees.

It has a LEED designation due to green design features that lower CO2 emissions.

, ,

‘WORLD CLASS’ Current commissioner of the RCMP William Elliot said that having so many of our employees in one building would enhance and support the police force’s efforts across the country.

“This truly is a world-class facility for a world-class police force,” he said.

The employees were relocated to the former JDS Uniphase building from the former headquarters on the Vanier Parkway.

Election

5 Barrhaven This Week - October 13 2011

NDP doubles percentage of vote in Nepean-Carleton Continued from front Green party candidate Gord Kubanek saw his support drop from 8.4 in the last election to three per cent this year.

MacLeod arrived at the Barrhaven Legion for a Tory celebration shortly after media outlets declared her the winner just 40 minutes after the polls closed.

Backed by a sea of blue signs, MacLeod said she was very happy to have once again received more than 50 per cent of the vote in the riding. “I will not let you down,� she told a crowd of more than 100 supporters. “If you have me on one side of the aisle and Dalton McGuinty on the other side, you can be guaranteed there will be fireworks.�

After leaving the stage, MacLeod wouldn’t secondguess the PC’s concentration on pocketbook issues – taxes and hydro bills – during the campaign. “It certainly did (mat-

ter) in Nepean-Carleton,� she said. “And I heard about the accountability issue every day.�

She said the Liberals lost seats in the election and the premier will have to take that into account when the legislature next meets. “Dalton McGuinty ought to be humbled,� she said.

MacLeod listed her priorities for the coming term as local education and health care capacity. “Schools need to be built in Barrhaven, Findlay Creek and Riverside South,� she said, “and I want to work with the Kemptville hospital to get a bigger clinic here in Barrhaven.

MacLeod was first elected in a byelection in 2006.

She served for the last two years in Tim Hudak’s shadow cabinet as the accountability critic, a position that allowed her to criticize Liberal policy across the board.

MacLeod and her party were so confident of her

re-election in Nepean-Carleton this year that she was sent out to help candidates campaign in other ridings.

LIBERAL Liberal candidate Don Dransfield saw a small drop Liberal support in Nepean-Carleton compared to Jai Aggarwal’s showing for the party in 2007.

Dransfield was expected to be at Dalton McGuinty’s celebrations at the Chateau Laurier on election night, but didn’t appear to be present and was not available for comment.

NDP New Democratic Party candidate Ric Dagenais watched the election results come in from Pizza Time, a restaurant at the corner of Mitch Owens Drive and River Road.

The results put him in third place with more than 15 per cent of the vote, a jump for the NDP from

fourth in 2007, when the Green party took third.

Dagenais’ boost at the polls may be due to name recognition; he ran for the federal NDP in the same riding in May. The party’s candidates across the province may also have drawn voters who were inspired by federal NDP leader Jack Layton’s death in August.

Dagenais said he was hoping to poll second in Nepean-Carleton this time around. “It was more of a dream I guess,� he said as the results appeared on a TV screen tucked in one corner. “I’m happy. We did our best, and there’s nothing to be ashamed of.�

He also took a national view of the New Democrats’ ascension, and he mentioned the recent NDP win in Manitoba as an example. “There’s other elections coming up where we could win again,� Dagenais said.

Other candidates in Nepean-Carleton included

Check it out: library month underway MICHELLE NASH michelle.nash@metroland.com

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

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

Here in Ottawa, both schools and the Ottawa Public Library will host a number of events all month long.

Kelly Moore is the executive director of CLA and said the month’s

celebrations are about more than just borrowing a good book.

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

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

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

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

“The libraries determine that themselves – readings, displays, public events. Each library will be offering book readings, guest speakers and special events, you just have to check out your local library to find out what is happening,” Moore added.

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

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

An avid library borrower herself, Moore said there are now libraries which offer theatre opportunities; it can be viewed

Rideau Auctions Inc. - TEMPORARY LOCATION 301 Van Buren Street, Kemptville, ON

as a movie rental store, a music store and even a place where new Canadians can learn about their new neighbourhoods.

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

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

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

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

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

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

EMMA JACKSON AND LAURA MUELLER

showed up around midnight. Ottawa South federal MP David McGuinty was circulating through the crowd, with nothing but good words for his brother.

“I think his campaign was flawless,” David McGuinty said. “I think what you saw in this campaign in terms of his leadership is what you get as a person. He is thoughtful and sincere. As a brother I worry about him because he carries the weight of this responsibility. He’s hardwired that way.”

emma.jackson@metroland.com

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

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

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

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

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

“With 53 seats, you have to think that you only need one person; one Belinda Stronach-type figure,” Malloy said, referring to the former federal Conservative who joined the Liberal caucus in 2005.

“Both Mr. Hudak and Ms. Horwath will have to be a little sensitive to the fact

Premier Dalton McGuinty greets supporters at the Chateau Laurier after the Liberals won the Oct. 6 provincial election.

It will the third straight Liberal governemnt for Ontario. that if they anger just one member, they could get that person to cross the floor to the Liberals and it could change a lot of things.”

CHATEAU LAURIER McGuinty was greeted like a celebrity at his campaign wrap-up at the Chateau Laurier downtown Ottawa, where a tense but giddy crowd gathered in the elegant ballroom to watch the results roll in. Spontaneous

cheers rose up now and then as the Liberals hit 54 seats time and again, with seat counts flip-flopping between 53 and 54 for several hours.

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

“Ontarians are telling us, ‘We are placing our trust in you but we expect you to work even harder, listen more than ever, give us nothing but your best every day. But most of all we demand that you

lead.’ Because we are Ontario and that’s what we do. We lead,” he told the crowd.

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

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

“Here is a great, competitive race, with the

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

POWER OUTAGE Supporters young and old waited patiently throughout the evening, riding out a partial power outage at the hotel and mingling with media until the premier finally

Dalton McGuinty, 56, has won five consecutive elections in Ottawa South since his father and former Ottawa South MPP Dalton Sr. died in 1990.

After his second win in the 1995 provincial election, McGuinty began his bid to become leader of the party, which he achieved against the odds in 1996. He became premier in 2003 and was held the post for eight years.

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

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

McGuinty wins third term with ‘major minority’

EDITORIAL

Barrhaven This Week -October 13 2011

Voters show wear and tear

T

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

That was down from the previous all-time low,

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

There was one bright light in this apathetic mess.

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

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

So what is the issue here?

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

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

COLUMN

Whatever you do, don’t go downtown

O

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

More than a decade’s worth of stage makeup and worn out dance shoes will be remembered as members of GOYA Theatre members appear at the Centrepointe Theatre on Oct. 13.

Since the opening of Joey – the story of Joey Smallwood, the first premier of Newfoundland – GOYA (Giving Opportunities to Young Artists) has produced a decade of shows that pay homage to local and Canadian talent.

Gord Carruth, the founding president of GOYA and a ACTRA-award winning composer and playwright, always touts the mission of the production company – to host only Canadian theatre.

It’s a policy that has served the group well, with outstanding performances of Menopositive, Gabriel: The Musical, Homechild, and Strange Gods, among them.

When the curtains open on Oct. 13, the audience will catch the number Hello, Hello from the musical Vaudeville, which debuted in 2003. Set in the 1920s, it’s the story of B.J. Gallagher

and Sam Goldstein trying to bring back one last vaudeville show.

The song will be performed

by GOYA veterans Andrew Galligan and Jennifer Fontaine.

During the Oct. 2 rehearsal, the basement of the Britannia United Church rang with laughter and song as the actors remembered lines and tunes from numbers that they performed years ago.

As she stepped up to sing the lead in The Menopositive Affirmation Society, Maureen QuinnMcGovern visibly turned into the role of Cynthia Sawyer, who sings about refusing to change for her man any longer.

“It’s very exciting,” QuinnMcGovern said before the Dec. 2 opening of the last run of Menopositive the Musical. “All the characters are a bit like the layers of an onion, there’s a lot to them.”

And there will be a lot to the 10-year retrospective if rehearsals are any indication, with strong numbers – and the occasional gaffe – causing laughs from the curious spectators.

Carruth is a bit like an army general, despite his obvious love of his fellow cast members.

“Can you get the beautiful,

This show is kind of like a last hurrah for Carruth, as he plans to hand over the reins of GOYA to other volunteers.

“It’s time for me to move on to

other things,” he said.

The shows will run from Oct. 13 to Oct. 16. Tickets can be purchased at www.goyatheatre. com/tickets

Algonquin student helps restore boat for move to permanent home JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

As Scott McCreary ponders a future in the curator field with a possible masters, he can be thankful for the experience he gained thanks to his studies at Algonquin College.

McCreary, who is in his third year of museum studies at Algonquin, managed to get a job

with Parks Canada this last summer as part of the Federal Student Work Experience Program (FSWEP) and helped to prepare a 19th century British gunboat for a trip to Prescott, Ont. He credits the chance to the hands-on work he did at the college, having access to labs where he could look at real artifacts donated by various organizations throughout Ottawa and the valley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I never realized how interesting it would be to restore artifacts and learn their history,â&#x20AC;? he said.

The boat â&#x20AC;&#x201C; originally excavated from the bottom of Brownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bay in the 1960s â&#x20AC;&#x201C; was moved to Prescottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fort Wellington.

Fort Wellington was built during the war of 1812 to protect the St. Lawrence shipping route between Montreal and Kingston.

The work was done in preparation to highlight the fortâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expansion and modernized visitorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s centre planned for reopening in May 2012, though the move started in early August.

A team of conservation specialists worked on the boat most of the summer

to ready the vessel for transport.

McCreary said he had a hand in stabilizing portions of the boat that may have had the potential to slip out of balance while being moved.

SHIPPING The crew also removed several part of the boat: the rudder, two crossbeams and the transom were transported separately. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was so amazing to see it all come together piece by piece like that,â&#x20AC;? McCreary said.

Once the restoration work was complete, the gunboat was loaded onto a flatbed truck and transported along County Road 2, with a police escort, at a top speed of 20 kilometres per hour.

Once in Prescott, the boat was placed on the foundation of the new visitorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s center, the walls of which will then be built around the large vessel, encasing it in the windowed showroom where it will help fort interpreters tell the story of the War of 1812.The 200th anniversary will be marked at many sites next year.

Barrhaven residents seek teen girls with scoliosis JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

focus more on the girls’ actual concerns,” Danielle said of their October meeting.

Danielle said fashion can be of significant concern for girls who wear braces because they are often visible through clothes.

But some girls have to contemplate surgery – which would mean getting titanium rods inserted into the spine – and that can be scary, said Danielle.

According to the Centre for Young Women’s Health, scoliosis is more commonly found in girls and girls, who have scoliosis are more likely to require treatment than boys. The most common type, idiopathic – which just means the cause is not known – usually gets diagnosed around the age of 10.

The group of girls meets downtown because it’s a central location for all the members that come from various areas of the city. Anyone interested in attending can email curvygirlsottawa@gmail. com.

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

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

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

The concept was originally designed in the United States by a then 14-year-old girl who was tired of going to support groups designed for adults.

The motto is, We Got Your Back and Danielle said discussion topics could range from treatment and surgery options to fashion ideas. The Ottawa chapter aims to raise awareness in the community and offer support.

The first meeting on Sept. 9 included seven girls and their parents and friends.

seats and booster seats are suitable and properly installed.

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

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

Each month since 2004, STEP has been profiling and enforcing two initiatives that target specific traffic safety priorities. These initiatives support larger integrated road safety program (IRSP) public awareness and enforcement campaigns.

It’s hard to fit in when you’re in high school.

It’s even harder if you’re a 16-year-old girl and you have to wear a back brace 21 to 23 hours a day.

But that’s what Danielle Denisko has to deal with.

Danielle, a Barrhaven resident and student at Merivale High School, was diagnosed with idiopathic scoliosis – a condition that causes the spine to curve from side to side – when she was eight years old.

“It was my dance teacher that noticed it,” she said.

While Danielle is outgoing girl who plays soccer and football and dances, takes voice lessons and plays piano, she said she sometimes feels self-conscious.

For her, scoliosis has caused a contorted C shape on her spine.

“Because of the curve, my ribs are rotated and you can see a kind of bump on my back,” she said, adding that she has had to go as far away as Spain to get back braces specially made.

After a conversation with her physiotherapist, Danielle said she was teamed up with Juliana Assaly from Ashbury College and worked towards forming a support network called the Curvy Girls scoliosis support group.

Walk to support expecting women’s health STAFF Hundreds of supporters will don false bellies or weighted backpacks to put themselves in the shoes of pregnant women for the 9K Walk For Pregnancy on Sunday, Oct. 23.

The event aims at raising funds, bring awareness of little-known pregnancy conditions and supporting the research to address the challenges faced by women during their pregnancy.

Dubbed Bumps on the Road – A 9K Walk For Pregnancy, the fundraiser is organized by the Canadian Foundation for Women’s Health and businesses in the Old Ottawa South community.

Walkers will begin their journey from 780 Echo Dr., head west on Echo for a few kilometers, cross Bank Street and down onto Colonel By Drive, continue northeast along the Colonel By path and return to 780 Echo Dr. Participants are encouraged to wear their bellies with pride to see what it feels like to carry extra weight while being pregnant.

The walk starts at 9 a.m. and costs $60 per participant, with funds going to support the foundation. A charitable tax receipt will be issued from the Canadian Foundation for Women’s Health for all donations. For more information visit www. cfwh.org

Arts advocates hope culture plan please council LAURA MUELLER laura.mueller@metroland.com

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

Lilly Koltun, the head of the steering committee that devised the new plan, said Ottawa is at the cusp of being recognized as one of the country’s cultural hubs.

“The idea of putting Ottawa on the international map as a world creative city – everything is leading up to that,” said Koltun, a Manor Park resident. “We think Ottawa has every right to be there.”

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

light, she said.

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

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

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

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

Sharon Jeanotte, a member of the city’s arts, heritage and culture advisory committee, worried that making the city into a “convener” of arts and culture

would translate into less funding.

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

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

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

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

Some of those things include an idea for the city to proactively tackle heritage designations for important buildings, instead of leaving citizens to fight for them

when they are under threat from new development.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Step by step, Will Dunlop makes his way around a gymnasium at the Nepean Sportsplex, walking laps while chatting with a friend. This is cardiac rehabilitation.

For a couple of hours each week, the gym is home to Dunlop and people just like him: former cardiac patients who want to keep on ticking.

“I’m kind of low on the pecking order,” Dunlop says of his heart health, considering some participants have had openheart surgery.

Dunlop suffered from angina and had an angioplasty procedure to open up blood vessels.

That prompted him to start turning his life around.

“I don’t smoke anymore,” he says. “It wasn’t easy.”

Along with deeper breathing, Dunlop said the twice-weekly sessions at the Sportsplex – combined with long walks on other days – have made him more flexible. He also likes the interaction he gets during the hour-long program.

“There’s good camaraderie here, we share tips and it’s pretty informal,” says Dunlop, who guesses he’s been part of the program for five years.

“My cardiologist helped set me up. At my last check-up, he said, ‘Keep it going.’”

Cardiologists can feel comfortable that their patients will workout within their limits at the Sportsplex sessions. A nurse is always in the gym and he or she is aware of medications the participants take and also provides closer monitoring of anyone with diabetes.

Ian Andrew, looking dapper in his shorts, T-shirt and headband, calls time and leads the walkers to an area set up with chairs. His arsenal of heart-happy exercises includes stationery bikes, small weights, walking and stretching.

Today it’s strong elastic bands that stretch out muscles.

Andrew has been leading the group for seven years and says

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

But in the end, the committee stuck with a plan to give $30,000 to each councillor to deal with neighbourhood traffic calming within his or her ward, for a total of $690,000 starting in 2012.

Those measures include speed bumps, pedestrian crossings and adding speed-limit signs.

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

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

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

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

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

Will Dunlop, left, follows a stretching routine led by Ian Andrew, centre, part of a cardiac rehabilitation exercise class held twice a week at the Nepean Sportsplex. the oldest participant is 94 years old, while the youngest start in their 50s.

“These are people who want to remain as fit as they can be,” he says.

To that end, there’s nurse in the gym and a pulse check for every participant five times during the hour-long session: when they arrive, after warm-up, at the end of the walking period, during the stretching session and when they are finished for the day Then the heart rate is entered on a chart that’s shared with the patient’s cardiologist. Participants can track their improvement week by week, or in the case of Walter Litven, year by year.

Litven, 77, has microvalve insufficiency, which a helpful nurse explains as blood backing up at the heart.

“I try and take it easy,” says Litven, who joins in the stretching routine with big elastic bands.

The seven participants this week do some exercises, some standing and some seated, and Andrew varies the routine, his chatter and clear directions

keeping everyone attentive.

The workout clothes are a mix of sneakers, jogging pants, sweatshirts, or even street clothes because it’s not a sweaty routine.

“It loosens the joints,” is how Litven describes it.

The walking combined with stretching or light weights is the perfect medicine according to Andrew.

“It’s same exercises you’d see at any fitness class,” he says.

“It’s just reduced in intensity and highly monitored.”

He says some of the Tuesday or Thursday cardiac patients have been coming eight to 10 years to keep themselves active.

Andrew added that groups are predominantly male – the opposite of classes at many private fitness centres.

Cardiac patients are often referred to the program by the Ottawa Heart Institute, which can also be found in the city’s recreation guide, along with many other programs that have a Heartwise logo.

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

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

neering expertise.

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

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

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

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

Bloess chastised his council colleagues who were hesitant to take on the responsibility of doling out the $30,000 for trafficcalming projects in their wards.

“We talk about a borough system ... . This (neighbourhood traffic calming) actually brings decision making right to the street level, and you guys are trying to block it,” Bloess said.

Chernushenko had an idea to look at requiring councillors to use statistics such as the number of collisions or traffic-related calls to 311 as indicators to help assess the need for traffic-calming measures.

That would have only “bureaucratized” the process even more, Bloess said, and other councillors agreed and voted down Chernushenko’s motion.

Chernushenko, Clark and Monette voted against the report on implementing neighbourhood traffic calming during the Oct. 5 transportation committee meeting (Deans was not at the meeting).

Clark said he didn’t recall the issue coming up previously, but he and Monette were in attendance at the meeting on June 29, when the committee unanimously approved the idea – with the caveat that they wanted to hear more from staff about how it would be implemented.

Make your home “physically fit” and reduce energy costs

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

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

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

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

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

Duette Architella honeycomb shades provide superior energy efficiency.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Keep the Air Circulating – In Remember, a physically fit home is the best way to keep those energy winter, don’t block floor registers, baseboards or radiators with rugs, bills in check. furniture or other items.

We started with prime rib – a premium cut of beef with more mouth-watering flavour than most burgers can handle. Then we nestled it in a toasted bun and topped it off with caramelized onions, making a burger so tasty you’ll think your Grandma made it.

Algonquin students have a leg up on their expenses thanks to a new bursary courtesy of Scotiabank.

The bank signed over a $200,000 cheque to the college on Sept. 22, which will be used to establish a bursary for students demonstrating financial need in the business administration program.

“We are very supportive of sports and medical research too, but education is key,” said Scotiabank district vice-president Emily Farrell. “It’s important because young people are our future.”

Students on all three of the college campuses will have access to the bursary. At Woodroffe it’s called business administration and at the Perth and Pembroke campuses the program is called office administration executive.

The cheque will be managed by the Algonquin College Foundation, which was established in 2003 to raise money for student

HYPNOSIS WORKS!

JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

From his humble beginnings as part of the MJ Boys – a dance troupe of students from St. Patrick’s Catholic High School – to winning diamond in the Shine Dance Competition in Deerhurst, Ont., Duanse Bellot is moving up in the world.

The 27-year-old freestyle dancer auditioned for the TV show Canada’s Got Talent on Sept. 23 and will be starting work at Le Dance Lab in Plantagenet, Ont. in the next few weeks. He said he is also in talks with a local YM/YWCA to develop some dance programming.

An ambitious man, Bellot started campaigning for his bid on the Canadian TV talent program with a Facebook group that had more than 1,000 members in the week before his audition.

While Bellot doesn’t have any formal dance training, he cut his teeth at places like the Innovation School of Dance in Ne-

pean, where he worked as a dance instructor and placed first in the pro am category at the national Shine Dance Competition.

Bellot mixes his own music and makes everything a dance, tapping out a beat on the table, during a Wednesday-morning interview at a Second Cup coffee.

What people like about his style is it’s unpredictably, Bellot said.

“I plan the music out ahead of time,” he said. “But not the dance. If I have everything too set, then I can’t react to what’s happening around me or the audience.”

When he isn’t on stage, Bellot said he likes to teach.

“As soon as I learn something I want to teach someone else,” he said.

That drive lead Bellot to teach workshops and seminars across the city, and landed him his gig at the Innovation School of Dance – which is a dance school owned in part by Barrhaven resident Tanya Geary and her longtime friend Denise Turpin.

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

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

“I saw coloured handcuffs being used

by American officers and realized this could be an opportunity to raise money for a good cause,” said Botting. She chose to donate to breast cancer, prostate cancer and the Ottawa Police Association Benevolent fund, which assists officers and their families.

The Cuffs for a Cause initiative invites qualified police officers to purchase a pair of coloured handcuffs, which can

be used in addition to police issue cuffs.

The coloured cuffs are identical to police issue cuffs.

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

Only law enforcement officers who have their current use of force qualifications can purchase the handcuffs. They cannot be sold to the public; however, if you’d like to make a donation to any of the causes you can contact Botting.

As of today, $3,500 has been raised for the three charities. Orders will continue to be taken.

As part of Cancer Month in October, $1,805 collected from the sale of pink handcuffs was to be donated to the Run for the Cure on Oct. 2.

RINK OF DREAMS City councillors and Ottawa Senators officials gathered on Oct. 5 for the groundbreaking of the Rink of Dreams at city hall on Laurier Avenue. The 1,160-square-metre refrigerated rink will provide outdoor skating opportunities even when ice conditions on the Rideau Canal are poor. The Sens Foundation will cover much of the $1.2-million cost of the project, with the city contributing $250,000 towards the construction, plus the cost of operating the rink. Construction was slightly delayed but the rink is expected to be open

by November.

Police hope cell-block changes create trust LAURA MUELLER laura.mueller@metroland.com

Ottawa’s police services board chairman said he hopes showing off new technology that has been added to the central cell block will increase the public’s trust in the police force.

“It’s a measure (that) I’m hoping (when) we put it in place, at the end of the day, to regain that trust,” said West Carleton-March Coun. Eli El-Chantiry, who heads up the board that oversees the Ottawa Police Service.

The main change is the addition of high-definition video, in place of the grainy stop-action shots the old cameras showed. There was a gap of up to 15 seconds per shot with the previous cameras, the police board heard.

The board has been receiving monthly reports from the police service on cell block upgrades between December of last year and June, but El-Chantiry said he wasn’t satisfied with the level of media exposure the upgrades were getting.

“I chose to show the presentation so people can see the quality,” El-Chantiry said. “I think it’s a great measure we took and I think now we are probably the best in the province, if not the country in the way we handle pris-

oners.”

Some of the cell block cameras were almost 18 years old when the upgrades took place, long past their due date, the police said. The cameras now feature high-definition video, and there are 11 more of them. In addition, there is a rubber strip along the wall that sergeants can press to activate audio recording when officers experience distress with a prisoner.

Special constables, who help process prisoners arriving at the Elgin Street cell block, are now receiving more training, including on how to take better notes, on the obligations and restrictions involved with strip searches and how to recognize the signs of suicidal prisoners.

According to the presentation, OPS began the process of making the changes before a judge’s decision in the Stacey Bonds case and before the release of a video of her allegedly being roughed up by officers in the cell block.

Ottawa police have also added a new level of supervision at the central cell block late last year: Staff Sgt. Neil Preston. His team includes six sergeants and 18 special constables who among them can speak English, French, Spanish, Polish, Italian and Arabic.
