Local residents, OPO confrontation results in messy altercation BY MICHELLE NASH BAKER michelle.nash@metroland.com

Michelle Nash Baker/Metroland

Matthew St. Jean rakes up manure that was dumped in Raphael Brunet Park on Oct. 5. The park is being used as a safe injection site, nightly from 6 to 9 p.m. Anger from area residents and those opposed to the illegal site resulted in one man dumping manure in the park.

A pile of manure dumped in Raphael Brunet Park has soiled any hope of a community and a volunteer-run safe injection organization getting along. Overdose Prevention Ottawa set up a pop-up safe injection site at the park in August. Since they erected their tents, the tension between Lowertown residents and volunteers at the site have been boiling over. The tension reached a new high when a man with a trailer dumped the manure early in the morning on Oct. 5. Video footage taken by OPO volunteer Catherine Hacksel showed the man driving up onto the grass with a trailer full of manure. He spread it around the area where the tents are typically placed. According to the city, the man was fined $260 by the city’s bylaw department for deposing waste in

the park. The group sets up every night from 6 to 9 p.m. At 4 p.m. volunteers arrived at the site trying to figure out the best way to move the fertilizer and set up for the night. “We will figure this out, it’s no big deal,” said volunteer Matthew St. Jean. “If they think this will stop us they are wrong. This was just a pathetic move.” Ideas surfaced about stamping it down, covering it with hay or moving the tents to face a different way. Volunteers say the manure, although seemingly harmless, does pose a risk to some of the people who access their services, as they may have lowered immune systems due to continued drug use. Rakes and shovels were brought in and St. Jean and other volunteers quickly moved the manure out of the way. See POLICE, page 3

Police called to break up fight the pop-up showed up almost two months ago. “We were never consulted. No one asked our opinion on this and when we complain to police or politicians, no one listens to us,” she said, adding that what they hear most is that there is an opioid crisis in the city. While Simper sat on her porch steps watching the cleanup, one of the volunteers came over and began speaking to her, telling her she liked her Facebook posts and that the manure was not going to slow them

Continued from page 1

Some even talked about using it to help fertilize the dead grass that has resulted because of the constant use of the popup site. Across the street, residents of a condominium building watched the volunteers work at cleaning up the mess. “This was an action by another person who does not live here,” said Pamela Simper. Simper and her fellow neighbours have been frustrated since

down or stop them. Simper said she did not know who the woman was, and was unnerved by the fact that she knew her. The exchange grew heated and Simper called the police. Chris Grinham saw the commotion and tried to speak with organizers at the park. Volunteers seemed not interested in talking to Grinham, simply asking him if he had come to help clean up. He had not. “There is a lot of anger and frustration, but apparently this was not a resident and I wanted them to know that we were not aware of this and I don’t feel this is the answer to the problem,” he said of the manure. Grinham and OPO co-organizer Lisa Wright spoke at each other for 10 minutes — both appeared unwilling to see the other’s point of view or come to some sort of agreement. Police arrived and tried to sort out the altercation between the neighbours and the volunteers. And tried to make sure each stayed to their side of the street.

The unsanctioned safe-injection site is illegal, however neither police nor bylaw services have issued any tickets or arrested anyone. The cause of ire among residents and volunteers at the pop-up site resulted in Ottawa Public Health rushing an application for a sanctioned site at their sexual health clinic at 179 Clarence St. That location opened at the end of September but OPO did not stop their operations, stating they would remain in the Lowertown park until there was no longer a need to be there. Grinham, who is a founding member of Safer Ottawa, a not-for-profit organization that works with drug prevention and education in Lowertown, said he has tried to work with the group to no avail. “They prefer controversy, they prefer confrontation,” Grinham said. “This is a publichealth issue and should be handled by public-health officials. Period.” Grinham said he is not surprised the group has stayed, even though the Clarence Street site is now open.

Michelle Nash Baker/Metroland

Police try to calm down Lowertown neighbours and Overdose Prevention Ottawa volunteers after a pile of manure was dumped in Raphael Brunet Park on Oct. 5. “They never had any intention of closing,” he said. “This was not about providing a service, it was about providing a platform.” Grinham said he agrees there is a problem and does not think OPO’s presence in the park has resulted in more drug use in the neighbourhood, but he does feel it has resulted in more drug deals taking place in and around the park. He also questions their transition in leaving the park, and what they may leave in their wake.

“They are very passionate, they are,” he said. “ I don’t think they intend to hurt the community, but once they are finally gone, it will be the rest of us left to pick up the pieces of what they leave behind.” Wright said their presence in the park has nothing to do with creating animosity with neighbours and everything to do with saving lives. “Their ‘creativity’ hasn’t stopped us,” Wright said, referring to the manure. “Their tactics just get more and more people on our side to support us.”

New gathering space added to ByWard Market BY MICHELLE NASH BAKER michelle.nash@metroland.com

Only a month after parking was restored in the York Street parking block near Sussex Drive, there will now be a few less spaces for cars to park in order to make room for a new small courtyard. The new York Street Plaza will occupy a small portion of the York Street parking block, at the west end near the fountain at Sussex Drive and York Street. A pilot project, the space is aimed at becoming a gathering space for visitors to the area. The OTTAWA sign that was a part of Inspiration Village will be moved into the space in an effort to keep the attraction in the market. In addition to the OTTAWA sign, the 450 metres square space will include movable seating to make pop-up events easy to create and a separation from the roadway with pre-cast con-

crete curbs and planters. The project will cost about $120,000 and take up about 11 parking spaces. Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury said he thinks the best the city and the ByWard Market Business Improvement Area can do about the loss of the parking spaces is to better highlight the other areas in the market people can park. “We have to shift our mindset with that,” Fleury said. REVITALIZATION

The city has approved the ByWard Market revitalization project, but is doing the work in stages, first completing the updated George Street Plaza this past spring. Of what is expected to be a $10 million dollar project, the George Street Plaza cost $1.2 million. The remaining $9 million is still unfunded. According to the councillor,

the city is prepared to spend $3 million, but needs a buy-in from both the province and the federal governments to make the market's vision complete. The city is set to create a master plan for public space within the broader ByWard Market area in 2018. This master plan will recommend improvements to traffic circulation, parking, business loading and the use of public space. The city will engage a wide range of community and business stakeholders to help develop a compelling vision for the entire ByWard Market. “There is a huge need to find ways to animate the market,” Fleury said. REPORT

The push to make changes the market came from residents speaking out about the lack of local food options and the con-

The city responded by commissioning New York-based consultants People for Public Spaces to conduct a visioning exercise to imagine the best outcome for the market. The consulting firm created a vision for the ByWard, calling for a governing board to recruit

retailers, create gathering spaces and destinations to purchase local produce and goods as well as other products for both local residents and tourists alike, create a public space and have the city take a proactive bylaw enforcement on bars and nightclubs.

space, the York Street parking area was proposed as a large courtyard, with the option for parking created underground. This move to create this small outdoor space, Fleury said is a step in the right direction for what the report called for. But to get the large courtyard or the underground parking, money to complete the milliondollar revitalization project is still needed Fleury added.

Tennis star visits Glebe school BY MICHELLE NASH BAKER michelle.nash@metroland.com

Raphaëlle Serghi plays tennis any chance she can. At 10 years old, she is already looking forward to when she can go headto-head with some of the world’s top tennis stars. So when one of those tennis stars made a stop at her school in the Glebe she couldn’t wait to speak with her. On Oct. 4 Francoise Abanda visited Mutchmor Public School to speak to the students about playing professional tennis and what it takes to achieve their goals. “I was kind of nervous about my speech – I am used to playing not speaking, but I thought it went really well and the kids' questions were the best part,” Abanda said. “I don’t get to do this often so when I can it’s super cool.” The 20-year-old tennis star recently ranked 114th in the world, and ranked in the top 10 worldwide among juniors. This year alone she qualified for the French Open for the first time in her career and also played in Wimbledon – qualifying for her second straight Grand Slam main draw. Abanda not only had a chance to speak with the students, but she also had the opportunity to help deliver some good news to the Glebe heritage school. The school is the latest recipient of the National Bank’s On the Ball Initiative – which transforms used tennis balls into chair slippers to reduce

the distraction noise produced by chairs moving across a floor. In the next few weeks Mutchmor will be receiving more than 2,000 balls to place on the bottom of their chairs. “In terms of setting the tone for the classroom and environment,” said vice principal Christopher Wereley. “This will help students focus and that’s really important.” Wereley said for the older part of the Glebe school, it will be a huge improvement in quieting the noise from floor to floor. “The old floors were getting abused and this will allow for a smoother transition from classroom to classroom,” he said. National Bank’s Vanier branch manager, Louis-Simon Duval spoke about the program to the school on behalf of the bank. Wereley said having Abanda be a part of the announcement and speak and play with the students was an amazing opportunity for his students. Having Abanda come offered his female students the chance to relate to a professional athlete, the vice-principal said, adding that over the years the school has been fortunate to have visits from players from the RedBlacks, the Ottawa Fury and the Ottawa Senators – all visits from male professional athletes. Raphaëlle and some of her classmates had the opportunity to play with Abanda after her speech.

Canadian tennis star Francoise Abanda met with Mutchmor Public School students Raphaelle Serghi, Eva Hurrelmann, and Sophie Edwards on Oct. 5. Raphaëlle hung back to talk to Abanda to learn the tricks of the trade of becoming a professional player. Abanda said she loves talking to girls like Raphaëlle. “Tennis is an individual sport and there is no one easy way to make it,” Abanda said. “I see myself a little bit in these kids and I was fortunate enough to realize my dream and get to play.” Raphaëlle said meeting Abanda was an amazing opportunity – and playing with her an even better one. “It was so great,” Raphaëlle said. “It’s what I want to do when I grow up.”

Councillors organize budget consultation BY MICHELLE NASH BAKER michelle.nash@metroland.com

Five downtown councillors are looking for input to help them address important issues in the city’s 2018 budget. Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper, Somerset Coun. Catherine McKenney, Capital Coun. David Chernushenko, Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury and Rideau-Rockcliffe Coun. Tobi Nussbaum will host their second joint budget meeting, #BudgetSpeak2017 at city hall on Oct. 17 from 6 to 8 p.m. Following a format similar to last year’s event, the event will offer residents from all five wards the opportunity to weigh in on issues concerning winter walkability and accessibility, arts, culture and music, social services and housing and reducing carbon footprints. There will be brief presentations by experts on each area of discussion. Last year the event drew 130 people, who talked about affordable transit, social services and safe transportation among other things. Nussbaum said he feels the consultation will provide an opportunity for residents to identify what specific budget changes they would like to see. “We have a responsibility as elected officials to create opportunities for residents to participate in the budget process and then use the information gathered to inform our deliberations and decisionmaking,” Nussbaum said. McKenney said she feels this process will help her and her colleagues support their decisions through budget deliberations. After the presentations, Nussbaum said there will be a question and answer period where participants can have their say recorded. There will also be a series of exercises on each theme to provide additional opportunities for feedback that participants can complete. Leiper encourages his constituents to attend. “We've heard clearly through this term of council, the call to build a more sustainable city,” Leiper said. Fleury said he is looking

There is a growing opioid crisis in Canada from which Ottawa has not been spared. In 2016 alone, almost 2,500 Canadians died from preventable overdoses, and in Ottawa, deaths have increased sharply. With the creation of a new temporary safe consumption site, and the expected opening of permanent sites in the coming weeks there is an urgent need for a comprehensive municipal harm reduction transition strategy. Along with three of my colleagues, I wrote to the Medical Officer of Health in late September to encourage him to implement such a plan as soon as possible. Ultimately, we need a collaborative, public health-focused approach to address the crisis. You can read the letter on my website.

Johnstons had a common touch

he position of Governor General in Canada is largely ceremonial. Granted, the Governor General, as head of state, does have some constitutional powers but these have rarely been exercised. In 1926, for instance, the so-called “King/Byng Affair” saw governor general Lord Byng refuse to call a new election as requested by prime minister Mackenzie King. But just because the post is ceremonial does not mean that it is irrelevant or superfluous. The recently departed governor general David Johnston showed how the position can make a difference, even as a monarchist figurehead in our mostly democratic society. That’s because Johnston, as governor general, managed to bring government closer to the people simply by being a sincere, down-to-earth, regulartype person. He is even a former hockey player and you can’t be more Canadian than that. He talked to many and showed a particular affection for children. Most importantly, he seemed to enjoy his duties and meeting people along the way. It must be admitted that he was anything but a household name when first appointed to the position in 2010, succeeding Michaelle Jean. Sure, he

was an author and university president but he was pretty much under the public’s radar. He simply was not widely known. But perhaps this in some ways was a blessing in disguise as expectations were not high, allowing him to quickly exceed them, to the benefit of all Canadians. His secret weapon, as it were, was not only his charming manner but also his equally outgoing wife, Sharon. It turned out that in the appointment of David as governor general, Canadians got two for the price of one. They worked together, with Sharon becoming a familiar sight at events, both with her husband and often on her own, dispensing her own brand of regal dignity mixed with the common touch. So, we as Canadians have had it fortunate over the past seven years with David, assisted by his wife, handling this post of governor general. He gave the position a likeable dignity which was a winning combination. So, thank you, David, and, yes, Sharon as well, for showing all of us Canadians that the post of governor general is meaningful, not in political power but certainly in people power. They made the position human and relatable. If only all of our elected politicians could do as well!

Coach kids to develop good habits

ake a trip to my house on any given weekday and you’re sure to find me nagging one child or another about socks on the floor, lunchboxes left in backpacks or homework sheets lying about on the kitchen counter. I’m sure the kids have long learned to tune out mom’s voice. It’s like a practised meditation for them. Me: “Can you pick up your socks, please?” Child: Blank stare and nod. “Ommmm.” But every once in a while, without being asked, a child actually does put his lunchbox on the counter and dumps the remains of a day-old lunch in the compost before going back to wrestle his brother on the couch. Sometimes, rarely, I come home from work and discover a sock-free entrance way to my home. It’s like a breath of fresh air – literally. Until recently, these incidents went largely unnoticed and unacknowledged by me. It was only when I had reached the height of frustration at all the disorganization in the house and amongst children, generally, that I sat down to assess the situation. I realized that the kids were not leaving their socks all over the house all the time. The times they did, however, I was all over them, nagging and yelling. The kids were habitually coming in the house and putting their lunchboxes on the counter immediately. The one time they came in through the back door and forgot, I exhibited my extreme annoyance. Not once had I taken the time to acknowledge the good behaviour, nor to demonstrate what was expected. It was actually the words of a soccer coach that made me give my head a shake. “Your son is one of the most coachable kids I’ve ever met,” he said. “He listens, he’s respectful, he learns, he tries hard to improve.” The same day – no joke – my other son’s football coach, whom I met properly for the first time, said to me, “It is a joy to coach your son. He is really engaged. He wants to learn. He brings such a good attitude to every practice and game.” Coachable – what a great trait! In reality, of course, we all have the potential to coach and to be coached. But sometimes, as coaches, we drop the ball too early. Taking some guidance from a book called “Smart but Scattered,” I decided it was time to really engage all three kids in the development of their executive skills. Authors Peg Dawson and Richard Guare note that we too often expect children to learn things like organization, time management and emotional response by osmosis, rather than taking the time to hold their hands and guide them through. We may start out well – helping them make a homework schedule, for example – but we detach ourselves from the process before they’ve had time to master the skill. Teachers and parents could do better to recognize areas where kids are truly struggling in areas

like task initiation and completion, organization and time management – and commit to hands-on teaching , not disengaging until the child is truly able to manage independently of the coach, argue the authors. Too often we let them ride the bike on their own too soon, when what they really need is the coach running along behind them holding the back of the seat, says Dawson. Using the sock scattering as an example, in order to develop better habits, I had to physically lead my child to the socks, ask him to pick them up and walk with him to the basement laundry to see the task to completion. This sounds labour intensive, but over time my involvement has become less. The next phase was walking him over to the socks and asking him to pick them up, but letting him take them to the laundry on his own. Eventually, it only required a gentle reminder to “please pick up your socks.” But here’s the thing – until he’s

Capital Muse consistently coming home from sports and putting his socks in the laundry on autopilot, I have to stay with him, as coach. Of course, executive skill development goes far deeper than sock organization. But whether it’s staying on top of homework, managing a sports schedule, or learning to develop appropriate emotional response, the coach must patiently stay with the child until they’ve mastered a particular element. And be right there to cheer them on when something goes right. It’s a time-consuming formula. But my sock-free entranceway is evidence that, with a little patience and teaching from the adults, all kids really are coachable.

It’s been a fun and very busy September full of community events and government responsibilities. As leaves slowly begin to change to autumn colors around the national capital region, I am reminded of the fantastic work our community groups do in the riding. As Thanksgiving moves towards the holiday season we must collectively work to support those in need across our beautiful city. The Parliamentary session having resumed on September 18th, IamexcitedtoreportthatIwillnowbesittingontwocommittees, the Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics Committee and the Human Resources, Skills and Social Development and the Status of Persons with Disabilities Committee, where we are examining issues facing Canada’s aging population. In our community, I’m very grateful to have been invited to many events that all showcase the diversity of our riding. It has given me a great chance to connect with many of you and with local businesses leaders. Firstly, in mid-September, I attended the Ottawa Little Theater reopening after renovations to its theatre. I’m confident that these renovations, supported by the Federal Government will add many more decades to the theatres over 100 years of operation, extending its illustrious contributions to our artistic scene. Also in September, I was honored to address a crowd at the Beechwood National Military Cemetery on behalf of the Minister of Veteran Affairs for its 10th year anniversary. The small tour that followed reminded me of the great sacrifice of our men and women in uniform. The Salvation Army’s proposal to move to a new location at 333 Montreal Rd. continues to concern many in the riding. I attended the open house organized on September 13th which allowed me to engage residents and hear their concerns. Along with MPP Nathalie Des Rosiers and councilor Mathieu Fleury, I am reiterating my opposition to this move. The presentation did not reassure my concerns the current proposal would be effective treatment for our at risk populations. As our government has committed itself to opening a dialogue with Canadians on our upcoming seniors’strategy, consultations will be taking place here in Ottawa-Vanier. This strategy will then help me understand the issues affecting seniors as I and our government aim to offer our growing seniors population a secure and dignified retirement after a lifetime of hard work and contributions to our society. The consultation is scheduled for October 24th (in French) at the Centre Pauline-Charron, from 10:30 AM to noon and October 26th (in English) at the Gloucester Seniors Centre, from 9:00 AM to 10:30 AM, please visit www.monafortier.ca to register to attend these free events. I’d also like to remind you that I will be holding a town hall discussion alongside MP Andrew Leslie and MP Bill Blair this fall in order to discuss the implementation of the upcoming cannabis legislation. Stay tuned for that announcement as our teams are planning the location, time, and date. My new office has been up and running since August 1st, and I have to say that this move has been immensely rewarding as this new accessible space allows my team and I a better chance to serve constituents. We are located at 233 Montreal Rd. and are open from 9:30 AM to 4:30 PM Monday through Thursday and 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM on Friday.

Remains from Barrack Hill laid to rest at Beechwood BY BRIER DODGE brier.dodge@metroland.com

The remains of 79 Bytown residents have found a final resting place at the Beechwood Cemetery. A formal service was held

at Canada’s national cemetery on Oct. 1, with the remains of one of the people found during light rail construction in a small casket carried in by several pallbearers. The remains of the other 78 people found had been buried earlier in the week.

In 2013, light rail construction staff found human remains from the former Barrack Hill Cemetery, the first public cemetery in what was then Bytown, and used from about 1827 to 1845. When the cemetery closed,

many families reinterred their family members elsewhere; many to Sandy Hill Cemetery which is now beneath Macdonald Gardens Park in Lowertown. City historians said some bodies were left, likely because the families’ could either not afford to have them moved, had moved away, or the entire family had been victim of disease. The remains have been at the Canadian Museum of History since they were discovered. Timothy Killam, Beechwood Cemetery chair, said the remains will rest among many prominent figures, including 26 former mayors, and well-known scientists, poets and politicians including Sir Robert Borden. “The city could not have chosen a more fitting place to reinter the individuals laid to rest at Barrack Hill Cemetery,” Killam said. “Those who helped our city, who possibility worked on the Rideau Canal and eventually laid down roots in the early created capital of the newlyformed country. “ Mayor Jim Watson said the ceremony was important to recognize the contribution of Ottawa’s early settlers to the city as it is today. “Life was hard for many in the 1800s. Entire families, in fact, died during the malaria and cholera outbreaks of 1832 and 1834,” Watson said. “As we honour the contributions and sacrifices of early settlers we recognize it’s incumbent on us to entire proper and dignified burial.” The funeral service included

Tabled bill would create safe zones around abortion clinics Push for new law came after Ottawa incident BY MELISSA MURRAY mmurray@metroland.com

In response to a woman being spat on while trying to access an abortion clinic on Bank Street, a provincial bill has been introduced to create safe zones around the medical facilities. Attorney General Yasir Naqvi tabled a bill on Oct. 4, that if passed would create a 50-metre bubble around clinics and facilities that offer abortion services, the homes of clinic staff and the homes and offices of other regulated health professionals who provide the service. To start, the bill would create automatic bubbles around the eight abortion clinics in Ontario. The push for the bill came after reports of increasing

serve to access legal health care services, including abortion, without fear for their safety, privacy or dig-

Within the bubble zone, anti-abortion protests and activities that would interfere with or intimidate individuals trying to access those services would be prohibited. The penalty would be up to a $5,000 fine and/or imprisonment for up to six months on a first offence. For repeat offenders, fines could range between $1,000 and $10,000 and/or imprisonment of up to 12 months. “That is very disturbing that in this day an age an incident like that took place,” Naqvi said of the spitting – and it wasn’t the only “heartbreaking” story he heard when consulting about the bill. “That has an incredible chilling effect on any woman thinking about accessing those services. Imagine the vulnerability they feel to even get to the point of walking and saying I’m go-

ing to get help and talking to a health care professional,” he said. “I think it’s incumbent upon us to work together and work hard to make sure there is safety for these women.” The zones can be increased to 150 metres through an application process. Hospitals, health centres and pharmacies that provide abortion services can also apply for safe access zones of up to 150 metres. Other provinces, including British Columbia, Quebec and Newfoundland and Labrador have similar laws. The announcement of the bill took place in Ottawa at Planned Parenthood. Catherine Macnab, executive director of Planned Parenthood Ottawa, said they receive calls of women too afraid to go to their appointments and too bothered by the protesters to enter the building.

“It’s unfortunate we need legislation to protect people like that,” she said. “People can protest almost everywhere. They are going to be prevented from undermining the rights of other people who are trying to access health care.” The City of Ottawa has a bylaw requiring protesters to be across the street, but it has no teeth, said Somerset Coun. Catherine McKenney. “Our bylaw wasn’t able to stop people from crossing the street,” she said, adding residents felt that the city should be able to stop any harassment of women or individuals accessing the Bank Street clinic. “These incidents were falling through the cracks and often women weren’t reporting them, so this will clearly give a space for women and people to walk in. The protesters can still be there, but they’ll be far enough away,” she said.

Ethel cuts her intended visit short

thel was just one of the many people who came to visit the farm in Northcote, and no one was ever sure how she was connected to the family. The first time she came, suitcase in hand, Father said he never saw her before in his life. And certainly Mother, who hadn’t been on the farm that long, didn’t know who she was either. However, she came one day in the early Fall, claiming to be related on Father’s side of the family. She wasn’t about to give particulars, just saying, “we’re kin you know...and we go way back.” It was soon pretty obvious to everyone Ethel hadn’t spent much time on a farm before coming out to Northcote. It was a warm day for

Fall, and Mother had the kitchen window wide open. When we sat down for supper, Ethel wondered what that strong smell was. We all looked at Father. He took his merry time to reply, chewing what he had in his mouth first. “That’s plain manure. We spread it on the fields. ” And then there was the question of the Gerry pot under her bed. She had two choices, use it when the need arose during the night, or pick her way downstairs and over to the outhouse. She told Mother she couldn’t imagine anyone not having a bathroom with a flush-toilet. Ethel was used to laying in bed in the morning, she told us when she climbed the stairs. Well, she was sure in for a surprise when Father

could be heard in the kitchen starting the fire in the Findlay Oval the next morning. He made so much noise you would have had to be stone deaf to sleep through the racket. Ethel had no choice but to get out of bed with the rest of us. And after breakfast was cleared away, she headed outside, “To take a look around,” she said. Well, you could hear the screams in Admaston. Mother rushed to the door, to see Ethel tearing across the yard heading for the back door, and the old gobbler hot after her. He was a mean one alright, and so he was seldom let out of the pen. He would chase anyone who came within a country mile of him, and he could run like the wind.

MARY COOK Memories Well, Ethel decided she had better get back to Pembroke, and if Father would just drive her to the station, she’d be on her way. To me, he seemed only too delighted to oblige. Her long-stay visit lasted exactly one day and one night. When Father got back, Mother wondered how the old gobbler got out of the pen. Father blew smoke out of his pipe, pushed his straw hat to the back of his head, and said, “I knew that old bird would be useful some day. Even the turkey hens will have nothing to do with him. And he must have figured out how to open the pen gate all on his own.” And he threw back his head and laughed.

[Inter]National Feral Cat Day - October 16, 2017

Their ears were frostbitten, but they were lucky to have survived. It’s a hard life for feral cats. Domesticated cats, if abandoned and living long enough outdoors, can become feral. Feral cats are homeless, “wild”, untamed cats, often born outside and having had little or no contact with humans. Ferals often live in groups called colonies. It is estimated there are millions of feral cats in North America. Some are lucky to have volunteer caretakers feed and care for them, at great expense to themselves – maybe someone in your neighbourhood. For some ferals, food is scarce. They get sick, frostbitten, attacked and injured or killed – and no one knows or cares. Fortunately, a Trap-Neuter-Return program reduces the feral population humanely and gradually; but the whole colony needs to be vaccinated too, and then managed under the care of a dedicated cat colony caretaker. Kittens and not-so-wild cats can sometimes be adopted into homes. Wilder but healthy cats are returned to their colonies.

Spaying/neutering and veterinary care of feral and semi-wild cats is expensive.

Your donation will help care for these cats. To donate and/or request more information, please contact:

Vanier community reaches out to other neighbourhoods BY MICHELLE NASH BAKER michelle.nash@metroland.com

SAT NOV 25 6 PM TD PLACE CONCERT SERIES PRESENTED BY

TICKETS STARTING AT $45 G R EYCU P F EST I VA L 1 05 .CA

The Vanier Community Association would like to reach out to community associations across the city to see if they could help fight the Salvation Army’s proposed shelter move. The community association issued a statement on Oct. 5 seeking support from other neighbouring associations. The VCA has invited them to a meeting on Oct. 12 from 6 to 8 p.m. at 290 Dupuis St. to discuss a citywide strategy to support homeless individuals in Ottawa. “The VCA favours an effective program to support homeless individuals, including appropriate shelters, but we do not support the model proposed by the Salvation Army,” the statement said. “Instead, we applaud the work that is accomplished by our 12 small shelters on a daily basis in Vanier, as they embrace what we believe are the most effective ways to support homeless individuals and end chronic

homelessness; the Housing First Model.” The statement goes on to say that, while the city has officially endorsed the housing-first model in its 10-year housing and homelessness plan, the group feels they have seen limited evidence of a broad-based implementation of the model. As a service manager, the group adds, the city has the responsibility to ensure that service delivery agencies respect the standards and criteria set and endorsed by the city. The association said it is to note that many cities (Toronto, Washington, Winnipeg, Halifax, Washington, San Francisco, Paris) and countries (Australia, United States, France) are moving away from mega shelters to implement the housing-first model. They feel the city is not demonstrating any leadership. “Considering this evidence, we request the suspension of the current proposal review and ask for a moratorium on all new shelters until the city considers

the related issues toward a more effective implementation of Ottawa’s Housing and Homelessness Strategy similar to that undertaken by the City of Toronto,” the association said. The group says the application from the Salvation Army to move its downtown shelter to Vanier at 333 Montreal Rd. presents major concerns regarding existing bylaws and planning principals. The application calls for a zoning bylaw amendment to allow a shelter on a main street. “The VCA believes the SA proposal, as presented, will set a concerning precedent not only for Vanier, but for every single community in the city of Ottawa,” the statement said. The goal is for other area community associations attend the meeting to discuss the housing-first model as well as a city-wide strategy that can be support so that a proposal such as the Salvation Army’s cannot happen in any community in Ottawa.

Province moving on opioid crisis Nepean-Carleton MPP continues push for ‘Nick’s Law’ BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

The provincial government is establishing an emergency task force to grapple with the continuing opioid crisis, Health Minister Eric Hoskins announced Oct. 3. Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod, speaking on Facebook Live, said the move wouldn’t have been possible without people like Kanata parent Sean O’Leary, who leads a group called We the Parents — which advocates

for teens who are addicted to opioids and the family of Nick Cody. MacLeod introduced Nick’s Law — honouring a young constituent of hers that lost his life to opioid addiction several years ago — in the legislature on Oct. 3. “His mom and dad, Natalie and Steve, made a tremendous impact,” MacLeod said of the family speaking in the legislature. "The government has acknowledged there's a crisis and it's all hands on deck." The government’s task force will be composed of front-line workers and people with lived experience. The aim is to bring together stakeholders in harm reduction, addiction medicine and community-based mental-health services.

As a first step, all public health units in the province will be provided with constant and up-to-date public education materials to support their efforts in the community. The task force will drive the public education campaign. “Opioid overdoses are preventable and with more awareness and education youth will have a better understanding of how lethal opioids like fentanyl and carfentanil are (sic),” MacLeod wrote in a press release. Nick’s Law proposed allocating 10 per cent of the province’s $57 million advertising budget be used on public education to increase awareness of the dangers of drugs like fentanyl, she added. As part of the provincial education campaign, pharmacists will provide information for an insert on the possible health risks of opioids and where people can access support services. ] The inset will be provided to anyone filling a prescription for opioids.

For more information on Skittles 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.

Microchipping: Your Pet’s Way of Telling Who They Are and Where They Live Does your cat or dog have a microchip? Tiny and virtually painless to implant, this life-long form of identification may mean the difference between never seeing your lost pet again and having her returned safely to you. A microchip provides a permanent means of pet identification. Each grain-sized microchip has a unique ID number that can be scanned at shelters and vet clinics. Important information about you and your pet is entered into a national database and can be used to contact you if your lost pet has been found.

Pet of the Week: Skittles (ID# A200192) Meet Skittles, an energetic and friendly girl looking for her purr-fect match. Skittles is a social girl who loves hanging out with her human friends. She’ll follow you around the house and curl up by your side on the couch. She has the energy of a kitten and loves to run around and play. Some of her other favourite hobbies include bird watching from the window and watching water run down the sink. Could Skittles be your new best friend?

Microchips will not fade or be lost over time. Owner information can be accessed electronically and immediately, ensuring the speedy return of a lost pet. While tags may be lost from time to time, tags are still important as a quick and visual way of identifying your pet. The OHS holds monthly microchip clinics and the next one is coming up on Oct. 15 from 9 a.m. to noon. The cost is $50 for the first pet and $25 for each additional pet — a small price to pay for a lifetime of security. For more information, call 613-725-3166 ext. 221 or email microchip@ottawahumane.ca.

Notice of Study Commencement Vanguard Drive Extension Environmental Assessment Study Project Overview The City of Ottawa has initiated an Environmental Assessment (EA) study to develop a Recommended Plan for the extension of Vanguard Drive from Lanthier Drive to Mer Bleue Road. Study Area The EA study limits for the extension of Vanguard Drive will extend from Lanthier Drive in the east to Mer Bleue Road in the west. The Study Area as shown in Figure 1 will cover a broader area extending westerly to west of Frank Bender Street and easterly to Tenth Line Road, to address environmental impacts, operational issues and to co-ordinate with relevant on-going studies and projects. This ensures that a reasonable range of alternatives can be developed and assessed. Rationale for Extension of Vanguard Drive The Official Plan, as amended by Official Plan Amendment (OPA) 150, identifies the westerly extension of the Vanguard Drive on Schedule EA as a future east-west collector road. The existing Vanguard Drive is an east-west collector road with an urban cross-section that runs between the arterial road Tenth Line Road and the local road Lanthier Drive. In September 2016, the City of Ottawa Planning Committee established a strategy and work program for the construction of the Vanguard Drive extension to support economic development of the South Orléans Business Park. The EA study will identify and protect a corridor for the roadway extension. Study Process The study is being conducted in accordance with Ontario’s EA Act, fulfilling requirements as a Municipal Class EA process for a Schedule C project. The City must consider alternative designs for the project, undertake public and agency consultation, assess the potential environmental effects of the Recommended Plan and identify measures to mitigate any such impacts. As part of the study process, an Environmental Study Report (ESR) will be prepared for public review. Following the public review period, the project will be considered to have EA approval and may proceed to implementation once funding is in place. Study Timeline The EA process will include a consultation program involving many stakeholders, including the City of Ottawa, the Government of Ontario, the Government of Canada, and other approval and regulatory agencies, local community associations, businesses and institutions, special advisory and interest groups, and members of the general public. The study is expected to be completed by late 2018. Get involved! You are encouraged to participate in the study by attending consultation events or by directly contacting the study team with information, comments or questions. Updated project information may be posted periodically on the study website. The study will also have the benefit of input from agency, business and public consultation groups that will meet at key points during the study. Two open houses will be scheduled throughout the study as an opportunity for interested persons to learn about the study and provide input. Notifications for the open house will be provided through local newspapers, emails to the study mailing list and postings on the website.

Muted snowplow alarms come with higher price tag BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

The city has launched a pilot that will replace the alarms on snowplows, but saving your ears could come at a price. The existing alarms – which sound like a high-pitched beep – cost $29 per unit. The new ones – which are broadband and aim sound in the di-

rection where the danger is – sound like more white noise. But the cost would be between $151 and $266 apiece. The cost difference has to do with the alarms’ decibel level. Some alarms would also come equipped with self-controlled volume that measures the background noise when determining how loud the alarm needs to be. The staff report says there are 213

salters, sanders and large pick up trucks. Installation and parts would cost $71,069. There are 89 vehicles under the category of front-end loaders, graders, tractors, and sidewalk plows, which would cost a total of $48,121 to outfit with the new broadband alarms. Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans said during the Oct. 4

transportation committee meeting if the trial is successful, there will be a lot of happy residents. The information came to committee as a result of a direction following the 2017 review of the noise bylaw. Council directed staff to look at the use of broadband alarms to mitigate complaints about noise from snowplows. The pilot program will target ar-

eas of the city that have a higher incidence of 311 complaints about the noise from snowplows. If it’s successful, the city could change the whole fleet. Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri said he hopes the city can encourage private snow removal companies to use the new alarms. He also said he’d like to see construction vehicles considered.

‘Like the real thing’: LRT operators to learn on million-dollar simulator BY ERIN MCCRACKEN erin.mccracken@metroland.com

While Stage 1 of Ottawa’s lightrail transit system is still under construction, train operators will be able to ride the rails sooner thanks to newly unveiled simulator technology. “This was built to model the entire 12-and-a-half kilometre existing system,” said Jim Hopkins, chief safety officer at OC Transpo, during an Oct. 5 announcement at OC Transpo’s Belfast Road training facility. With the help of an instructor, Mayor Jim Watson was first to test drive the mock train. Cumberland Coun. Stephen Blais, chair of the city’s transit commission, and Cyrville-Beacon Hill Coun. Tim Tierney, who will have two LRT stations in his ward, also tested the tech, along with Amarjeet Sohi, federal minister of infrastructure and communities. Watson, who had tried the technology once before, said the simulator is “world class” and “an incredible and innovative piece of technology that will help train electric rail operators now and in the future." He then slid into the driver’s seat and manned the controls as an instructor offered a step-by-step tutorial. The simulated video screen made it appear as though the mock train was travelling past Ottawa landmarks, businesses and future LRT stations along the Confederation LRT line, which is scheduled to open sometime next year. The tech also simulates Ottawa weather. “It’s very realistic. You can see OttawaU, the Rideau Centre, the tunnel and going all the way over to Tim’s (Coun. Tierney’s) ward in the east end,” Watson said. “It feels very much like the real thing,” echoed Hopkins. “In fact, if you’re standing in the cab and watching the person operating the train, as it slows you have the sensation of wanting to fall forward. And when it starts up, you almost want to lean backwards.” Since Aug. 8, eight instructors have been undergoing training on the $1-million system, which was

acquired in the fall of 2016 and then installed and tested this July. Once the instructors are ready, training will begin for 12 classes, each hosting 12 future electric rail operators, starting Oct. 30. They will receive four weeks of in-class instruction at the new training centre, located at 925 Belfast Rd., followed by four weeks of hands-on operation. “And it will train hundreds in the future,” Hopkins said of the simulator, adding that 72 drivers will be ready for opening day next year. To become ready for rail, the course curriculum will include operating procedures, as well as safety training for such scenarios as station overcrowding “and dealing with any possible situations that might arise,” Hopkins said. “We can conduct investigations to understand why things happen.” While their day-to-day activities will be straightforward, the simulator will allow operators to be better prepared to handle anything that comes their way. “It’s dealing with the problems that will occur on the system, whether it’s people on the track retrieving their wallet or their cellphones, or whether it’s dealing with smoke from an adjacent structure fire, or any type of emergency you could possibly imagine,” Hopkins said. “We will be able to exercise it without waiting for the real thing.” There is capacity to add a second simulator cab at the other end of the mock train car to speed up the training process. The second cab could replicate the operation of the electric east-west line or the diesel north-south Trillium O-Train line. “If we ever do employ a third type of train or a different type of train we’ll be able to use this same facility, same equipment, in a similar type of manner,” Hopkins added. The simulator, built by French company Oktal, is much like those used on other LRT networks, such as Vancouver’s SkyTrain rail system where Hopkins worked for 25 years. “We’ve learned from the lessons of others,” he said. The high-tech unveiling helps build anticipation for the launch of the line next year, said Blais. “When it opens in 2018, the Confederation Line will be a state-ofthe-art light-rail transit system and we want to ensure our employees are very well trained,” he said.

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!
