Residents of Crystal Beach have APRIL JUNE MAY raised the alarm recently on the activity of coyotes in the area but according to the Ottawa-Carleton Wildlife Centre, unless you’re a cat, small dog, SEPTEMBER JULY AUGUST or rodent, you have little to worry about. “Forty per cent of a coyotes diet is small animals,” said Donna DuOCTOBER NOVEMBER DECEMBER Breuil, president of the OCWC. “Mice, voles and rabbits are their primary food source.” See what’s happening by visiting The increased activity that resiwww.ottawacommunitynews.com/ dents may be noticing in the area is ottawaregion-events/ normal according to the OCWC. www.facebook.com/ottawacommunitynews Coyotes require a lot of food lead@OTcommunitynews ing up to the sparse winter months so they begin to look in places that they may not normally search. On LOOK INSIDE FOR YOUR top of that coyote pups are reaching CANADIAN TIRE FLYER their age of maturity and are begin1 DAY ONLY! THURSDAY, SEPT. 7 ning to disperse, leading to increase sightings. “Coyotes are extremely intelligent and very curious,” said DuBreuil. The area of Crystal Beach backs onto the Greenbelt and with 144 hectares of green space the area is prime real estate for the coyote to live. The OWCW advises that if there are coyotes in the area to keep your OR cats and small dogs close as a desperately hungry coyote will prey on them.

Keep an eye on small pets, eliminate sources of food says Wildlife Centre Continued from page 1
As for human interactions, make yourself as big and as loud as possible and the animal will leave. Attacks are incredibly rare; in fact according to DuBreuil the city logs around 400 dog bites per year versus zero for coyotes. As the adage in Ottawa goes “there’s two seasons in Ottawa, winter and construction” and with all that construction unfortunately there is encroachment on animal habitats. The current protocol with the city is if your development encroaches on a wildlife habitat then the mitigation of conflict should be included in the initial assessment of the proposed
development. According to the OCWC, coyotes are “extremely tolerant of human development and adapt readily to living in close proximity to humans and traffic.” In response to a post on the Crystal Beach community Facebook page about concerns with coyote interactions, Bay Ward Counc. Mark Taylor there is little the city can do when it comes to relocating the animals. “I certainly understand the concern, particularly of parents of young children,” said Taylor. “While the city and provincial directions around wildlife are largely a hands off strategy there are options for the appropriate humane trapping or humane elimination of wildlife.”
The OCWC has a list of tips on how to prevent conflicts with coyotes. Do not feed the animals. Feeding coyotes can habituate it to people and make it reliant upon humans for food. When it gets closer to the wintertime and the coyotes are more desperate for food this can lead to an unfortunate incident. Remove all food sources. Anything that can provide a food source for coyotes must be removed. Coyotes are resourceful and opportunistic when it comes to food and they will eat pretty much anything they can get their mouths on. Garbage, pet food and garden vegetables are prime targets and they’ll even go after bird feeders.

Coyotes like this one have recently been spotted more frequently in the Crystal Beach area of Nepean. The Ottawa - Carleton Wildlife centre says beyond eeping an eye on your small pets, there’s little to worry about. Make sure to keep your pets safe. Pets left alone are a potential food source for coyotes as well. For smaller dogs and cats, be sure to keep them indoors and if they do go outside, stay with them or keep them fully enclosed (such as in a dog run). Try to scare the coyotes to discourage boldness. Sometimes you may experience a
coyote that is not very wary of people. If this should happen it is important to discourage this behaviour by making a lot of noise, waving your hands, clapping and shouting. Spraying it with a hose also works. The OCWC also wants to It is important to note that residents may notice coyote prints leading up to the perimeter of
the house in the winter. It does not mean the coyote is stalking your family or pets. Heat from the foundation escapes here and can attract small animals such as mice and squirrels. For more information on coyotes and how to properly interact with them should you come in contact with one visit http://wildlifeinfo.ca/

City works out agreement on Barrhaven makeup artist to donate accessibility levy with Uber all revenue in November to charity JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
Uber will not offer wheelchair accessible service in the capital, opting instead to provide the city with a voluntary surcharge. A memo from Anthony Di Monte, the general manager of emergency and protective services, said on Aug. 23 Uber has agreed to pay a $0.07 per trip surcharge. The money will be sent to the city monthly and the company has agreed to pay retroactively since the time of their license Oct. 4, 2016. The city is petitioning the province for the ability to charge a mandatory surcharge for private transportation companies, but this
agreement has been worked out in the interim, the memo reads. The amount for the first year is estimated to be $450,000. Uber began operating legally after the city reviewed its vehicle for hire bylaw in April 2016. At the time of the review, staff were directed to work with Uber on a fee to be used to improve the city’s existing accessible transit services like the taxi chit program or ParaTranspo. When council approved the changes to the bylaw last year, accessibility advocate Catherine Gardner had some concerns about the use of a levy rather than forcing Uber to offer accessible service. “What does the levy mean
in terms of creating new service?” She said those with mobility issues would like to be able to take advantage of cheaper rides as well. Gardner added not everyone with mobility issues qualifies for ParaTranspo and she worries the changes may cause some cab drivers to abandon their accessible plates in favour of driving for Uber. Di Monte will work with the accessibility advisory committee, ParaTranspo and the accessibility unit, the memo reads. Other internal and external stakeholders will be consulted to develop a plan for use of the money. That work is set to begin in September.

One of the more expensive portions of a bridal or prom night ensemble — besides the dress, of course — is the makeup. Odds are, if you’re a parent of a little girl, you’ve forked over a hefty sum at some point to make her outfit complete. Now what if you could still get a great makeover but also donate that money to charity? Thanks to makeup artist Michelle Brennan from Barrhaven, you can do both, at least for the month of November. Michelle is taking all of her earnings as a makeup artist for the month and donating them to Lung Cancer Canada. November is lung cancer
awareness month and Brennan is focusing on the disease because of her uncle. “I have had close family affected by this,” said Brennan. “My uncle passed away from cancer (some) years ago.” Though Brennan is relatively new to the makeup scene, she has been extensively training for the last year, having completed her certification through IAP Career College. On top of that, she has been undergoing a mentorship with award-winning makeup artist Taryn Miller here in Ottawa. Brennan has also been published in several magazines over the last year. Her work can be found in publications like Pretty Poison magazine. She will also be featured in the magazines Femme Modern and Beau
Nu, offering people a chance to see her work. She has also done makeup for musical acts including Anna Ludlow, who performed at Bluesfest this year. “I was honoured to complete the makeup for Anna,” said Brennan. According to the Canadian Cancer Society, it is estimated that 28,600 Canadians will be diagnosed with lung cancer in 2017. That represents 14 per cent of all new cancer cases in 2017. Those who wish to book an appointment with Michelle can do so through her Facebook page at www.facebook.com/MichelleBrennanMUA/. Her usual rate per application is $70, but she is accepting any donation size for the month.

Ottawa police seek suspect in shooting at Woodroffe Avenue and Navaho Drive STAFF
Ottawa police are investigating a shooting that happened in the early morning hours of Aug. 26 that left the area of Woodroffe and Navaho littered with shell casings. Officers responded to the area after receiving numerous 911 calls about gunshots. A short time later, a 25-yearold male arrived at a local Ottawa hospital suffering from nonlife-threatening injuries relating to gunshot wounds. Joseph Madore, 25, of Ottawa is facing charges of: firearm discharge being reckless as to the life or safety of another person; careless use of a firearm; pointing a firearm; possession of a weapon dangerous to the public peace; possession of a restricted firearm knowingly without a licence; occupying a motor vehicle with a firearm. Investigators are trying to locate a vehicle that was involved in the incident. Police are asking to the public to keep an eye out for a 2009 Grey Acura TL with the Ontario licence plate CBYE918.

OPINION
Connected to your community
Changing name does nothing
W
hat’s in a name? A lot, if you listen to the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario (ETFO), which has called on school boards to rename any schools bearing the name of Sir John A. Macdonald. While Macdonald was one of the chief architects of Confederation in 1867, he also was a decision maker with regard to implementation of residential schools for Canada’s Indigenous peoples. And therein lies the rub — he’s great, but he’s not so great. So, according to the ETFO, let’s wipe Sir John A. from any school buildings. But then what’s next, especially here in Ottawa where the name is widespread. Are the Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway, the Sir John A. Macdonald Building, the Macdonald-Cartier Bridge and the Macdonald-Cartier International Airport renamed? Is his statue on Parliament Hill removed? And what about the Sir John A. pub on Elgin Street? This ETFO renaming proposal has not been greeted favourably by either Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne nor Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. We find Trudeau’s position on this inconsistent as he just recently renamed the Langevin Block because of Hector-Louis Langevin’s role in the establishment of the residential school system. While Langevin is not nearly as signifi-
cant an historical figure as Sir John A., his name was quickly tossed aside by the PM. Yet Sir John A. was Langevin’s boss and was equally complicit in the decision. One goes and one stays — a double standard? Surely what really should be happening as the country wrestles with reconciliation with its Indigenous populace is not to eliminate the past by deleting the names of those from that chapter in Canada’s history. Rather, schools need to tell the complete story of our forefathers, warts and all. In this way, Canadians will come to know not only all the positive things that these people did, but also their blemishes. Removing names from school or public facilities would only cover up the past and do nothing to help Canadians of today to begin dealing with how to form a new respectful relationship with Indigenous peoples. Our past is what it is. We cannot change that. Nor should we want to change that. But Canadians should know about the past — the good, the bad and, yes, the ugly. Let’s honour the accomplishments and achievements of our forefathers while also acknowledging their faults and taking action to correct them. We can only move forward to Indigenous reconciliation by knowing and acknowledging the past. Changing the name on a building will not do this.
Carpool should be easy to set up but it’s not
S
eptember is here and I’ve managed to do the unthinkable — the family calendar is booked seven days per week, sometimes double-booked. After all the years promising myself and you readers that I wouldn’t let this happen, the crazy, overscheduled lifestyle has hit. My eldest two children are on the brink of adolescent years. And as it turns out, they like their friends more than they like me. Their friends play football and soccer and baseball and hockey and … well, the list goes on. “Some days, I’d like to come home from work and just sit for half an hour,” my husband said one day last spring as he was emptying the compost and preparing to mend a school uniform for one of the kids. Personally, I’d like to stop thinking
BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse about groceries and meal planning. My most frequent Google searches these days include things like, “meals for kids on the go” and “slow cooker all year ‘round.” I’ve also been known to look up things like “how much protein do kids need if they’re growing and playing sports six hours per day?” Turns out, it’s a lot. Besides magical containers that seal without leaking and an online calendar function that frequently pings little soand-so’s soccer, football or flying event
in the middle of a client meeting, I have discovered the best thing since the professionalization of motherhood — the carpool. If you’re a parent with kids in extracurricular activities and you’re not carpooling, it’s time to start. It will save your sanity. But you have to stop hovering so much. The carpool should be easy to establish, but it’s not. It takes hours to get everything downloaded and organized at the beginning of the sports season — you have to recruit like-minded parents (those that are comfortable as non-helicopters), download the info from TeamSnap and create a shareable calendar. As a family with one car and three kids, I have to frequently look into double-booking issues, work around vacations and rely on kind neighbours

— you know who you are — to make it run smoothly. It’s comparable to many project management jobs for which I once got paid. But once it’s in place, it works. My son has 12 practices per month in one sport. Twelve! With six parents on our carpool list, I attend two training sessions every 30 days. Unless I’m volunteering on a particular evening, I don’t need to be on the sidelines watching my kids train in sports. Would they want to sit there and watch me exercise? I don’t think so. I don’t even want to watch me exercise. It’s time better spent grocery shopping and meal planning, if you know what I mean. The carpool has been so successful, I extended it to include games. So what if I missed my son’s first goal of the season? I got to take a bubble bath on a “school night” instead.
Besides, listening to his embellished retelling of the story was far more satisfying than actually being there — especially when he got to the part about the downpour and the soggy field.

‘Snapshot in time’: Ottawans asked to help fill city time capsule with 2017 mementos ERIN MCCRACKEN erin.mccracken@metroland.com
Mayor Jim Watson is thinking into the distant future ... to the moment city staff crack open a time capsule that will have safeguarded Ottawa 2017 keepsakes for five decades. “I definitely won’t be around because I’ll be 106 years old. Someone like (Rideau-Rockcliffe Coun.) Matt Fleury will be there, I hope,” Watson said with a laugh, adding that Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Michael Qaqish will also likely still be around. They are among some of the youngest members of city council. “Maybe they can come and open it up.” A large stainless steel box measuring 24 inches wide by 36
inches high and 11 inches deep is on standby at the City of Ottawa’s Central Archives at the James Bartleman Centre in Nepean waiting to be filled with mementos from each ward. Watson has asked the city’s 23 councillors to consult with their constituents on finding “a meaningful and unique contribution” that reflects their wards. Residents are to pitch their ideas to their local councillors by Sept. 25 as keepsakes must be submitted to archives staff by Sept. 29. The entombing ceremony is scheduled to take place in the rotunda at City Hall in early 2018. The box will be locked and welded shut before it is interred in its final resting place at City Hall, which has not yet
been finalized. “I’m excited about this,” Watson said. “We want it to be reflective of what the city was like back in 2017.” He is considering including ceramic trillium, fleur-de-lys and feather sculptures from the Museum of Nature’s Ottawa 2017 Populace exhibit that “represent the three founding groups of Canada.” Watson also plans to add a keepsake letter as well as a 2017 program guide chronicling the events taking place in Ottawa to mark Canada’s 150th birthday milestone this year. “I’m open to ideas from the public if they have things that they think should go in the capsule that people in 50 years See CITY’S, page 11 Erin McCracken/Metroland

City of Ottawa archivist Paul Henry and his staff will soon begin narrowing down the treasures they receive from each ward councillor that will be sealed within the city’s 2017 time capsule. The box of mementoes will be entombed at city hall early next year and opened in 50 years.
Trusted for More Than 50 Years
The City of Ottawa has initiated the Leitrim Road Realignment and Widening Environmental Assessment (EA) Study to identify the right-of-way requirements for the project, protect the corridor and inform the ongoing planning and development of adjacent lands. The study area is illustrated on the key map.
The EA study is being undertaken in accordance with Ontario’s EA Act, fulfilling requirements as a Municipal Class EA process for a Schedule C project. The EA process will involve developing, assessing and evaluating alternatives, leading to a Recommended Plan including a functional design and an estimate of capital and operating costs for implementation. There will be ongoing public consultation activities during the course of the study. This first Open House will provide: • An overview of the study progress to date including an overview of existing conditions • Reconfirming the project need and justification • An evaluation of alternative solutions and alternative corridors.
Your participation in the Open House meetings is an important component of the study where you can discuss the project with the study team and provide feedback.

from now will enjoy opening up and finding out what we were all about back in 2017,” he said. The capsule’s opening in 2067 will coincide with the country’s 200th anniversary since Confederation. The initiative is an exciting opportunity for archives staff. “When we get a project like this, this is an opportunity to
create a snapshot in time of Ottawa in 2017,” said Paul Henry, city archivist. Items included should document life in Ottawa in 2017 and be “meaningful and interesting for future generations, but also to capture the significance of the 2017 year,” he said. Though 2017 is a milestone year, a time capsule wasn’t created 50 years ago during Canada’s centennial for Ottawa officials to open this year.
“It’s surprising there was never one done, or maybe there was one done and people forgot about it at the old city hall,” Watson said with a chuckle. He has every confidence the container will be well cared for over the coming decades and appreciated when finally unsealed. “Sadly, I’ve been to a couple of time capsule openings See 2017, page 15

Pop up injection site elicits mixed responses among residents Advocate says sites are a necessity
BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
Parents in Lowertown generally support the idea of safe injection sites, but don’t want one in their neighbourhood park, said area mom Olga Balan. “I think there’d probably be objections to wherever it went,” Balan said of the pop up safe injection site manned by advocacy group Overdose
Prevention Ottawa in Raphael Brunet Park. Balan said she worked with nearby Routhier Community Centre to provide programming for younger kids when hers were smaller. She’s worried the conflict may drive young families out of Lowertown. “Before it was older, retired people mostly and I think they were happy to have the younger generation
around,” Balan said, but the idea of the injection site at the park is turning parents off of the area. “There’s a bus stop close by and the community centre is the only place for children’s activities,” she said. The pop up site operates from 6 to 9 p.m. Mayor Jim Watson is also against the site. A statement from his office said Watson would like to see

the site moved to the Sandy Hill Community Centre and out of the park, since the community centre has a formal application with Health Canada for an approved supervised consumption site, and city parks serve as public and recreation spaces for kids, families and residents. College Coun. Rick Chiarelli has also come out against the site, saying that operating it outside of the legal framework isn’t the way to go. Chiarelli wrote in an email to the city’s chief medical officer of health, Dr. Isra Levy that some people have “drifted into the belief that if they don’t like a law or legal requirements they can just ignore it all.” Chiarelli said that attitude can present a danger to the public, likening the idea to a pop-up plastic surgery outlet in his ward that left people permanently disfigured. Advocates say while we are undergoing an overdose crisis, initiatives like this are necessary. Catherine Hacksel, a nurse who volunteers with OPO, and is a member of the Low-
ertown Community Association’s board of directors, said the site is a necessity. Hacksel, who started her volunteer work in the field with the Campaign for Safer Consumption Sites, said research shows people who use sites like the one at Raphael Brunet Park are more likely to enter rehab.
who plan to ask for the same exemption, the Sandy Hill Community Centre received to operate a supervised injection site. “It’s only two blocks away,” she said. On Aug. 31 – a week after the site first started operating, there have been 143 visits and only one overdose, according to the OPO Twitter handle. “We don’t stop chemo “Our whole health care system is based on the printreatments for patients ciples of harm reduction,” said. “We don’t stop who have lung cancer Hacksel chemo treatments for patients who have lung cancer if they still have the if they still have the occaoccasional cigarette.” sional cigarette.” Hacksel, who said she’s CATHERINE HACKSEL heard the standard arguments: the money could be better spent elsewhere and it “The figures come from In- encourages drug use, said she site in Vancouver, and clients thinks people are starting to were three times more like to see the benefit. access rehab services,” she “It’s not a great comparisaid. son, but it’s like abortions.

When the 2017 capsule is eventually unsealed in 50 years, some of its contents may go on public display, while others may be stored at the archives building. “I’d like to see the spirit of Ottawa in 2017 represented in such a way that it will survive the test of time,” Henry said, adding there is no shortage of items that could be included, given the plethora of celebratory events taking place this year. “It’s a unique opportunity to create a curated snapshot,” he said. “It’s a deliberate attempt to create history.”
where all of the work has been ruined,” he said, referring to a keepsake container that had been hibernating near the Westboro cenotaph. When it was opened, it was discovered water had seeped in, damaging the contents. The experts at the city’s central archives are regularly asked for their expertise on time capsules. They field requests from across the city for help in crafting keepsake containers since the archives serve as the authority on the city’s official history dating back to about 1800. They are also often called in to examine capsules that have been recovered. “We think it’s better (if we’re contacted) down the road beTIME CAPSULE DOS: cause there’s nothing more upsetting than putting a time • Medals, commemorative capsule together and opening it coins 50 years later and everything’s • Documents on quality paper disintegrated,” said Henry. • Black-and-white photos

Notice of Commencement Bayshore to Moodie Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Conversion to Light Rail Transit (LRT) Transit Project Assessment Process The Project As part of planning for Stage 2 of the Light Rail Transit (LRT) program, an opportunity has been identified to extend LRT from the current planned western terminus of the Confederation Line (Bayshore Station) approximately 2.5 km further west to Moodie Drive, with one station located east of Moodie Drive at Corkstown Road and a Light Maintenance and Storage Facility in the northwest quadrant of Moodie Drive and Corkstown Road. The rationale for extending LRT beyond the previously identified terminus at Bayshore is to: • Provide an LRT station in closer proximity to a large employment node (Department of National Defence complex) • Support a Maintenance and Storage Facility for the operation of the Confederation Line East and West extensions in the west with optimized operational and cost benefits. The alignment for the proposed LRT extension has been previously approved as part of the West Transitway Extension Bayshore Station to Moodie Drive project, and is currently under construction as a BRT facility, with revenue operation expected to commence in late 2017.

Planning efforts have been completed and this project will be assessed according to the Transit Project Assessment Process (TPAP) as prescribed in Ontario Regulation 231/08. As part of the TPAP, an Environmental Project Report will be prepared by the proponent, the City of Ottawa, to document the study process, the environmental conditions, alternatives considered, the planned project, anticipated environmental impacts, appropriate mitigation and the project’s consultation program. During the Notice of Commencement phase of the environmental assessment, copies of the project studies and consultation information will be available to provide interested parties time to review and provide feedback prior to the formal 30-day public review period following the posting of the Notice of Completion. Consultation Interested persons are invited to review the work completed to date during the planning phase including a study summary, previous consultation efforts and reports presented to City Council, which are available on the Stage 2 website. Given the timing and the requirement to incorporate this section into the Stage 2 Request for Proposals process, it is anticipated that the City will issue the Notice of Completion in early September 2017 (which is within the maximum 120-day period in the TPAP Regulation). Notification will be provided in advance of the formal 30-day public review period. Further information on the TPAP is available at: Ontario.ca/document/guide-environmental-assessmentrequirements-transit-projects To Submit Comments If you have project-related questions or comments, or have any accessibility requirements in order to participate in this project, please contact the Project Manager on behalf of the proponent, the City of Ottawa: Mike Schmidt Planner II O-Train Planning 180 Elgin St, Suite 601 Ottawa, Ontario, K2P 2K3 www.stage2lrt.ca Email: stage2@ottawa.ca Comments received will be collected under the Environmental Assessment Act and, with the exception of personal information, will become part of the public record as per the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (MFIPPA).

Walk, bike or take transit this fall: Egli
Roadwork, construction, won’t have bottlenecks, but may slow commute BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH
jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
Most of the roadwork this fall will be outside the downtown core, said transportation chair Keith Egli, during a technical briefing to council and city staff on Aug. 30. A push to get all the work done in the downtown core for 2017 celebrations means this fall will see work in the suburbs and rural areas. City officials have only identified two areas where delays would be more than 10 minutes as a result of roadwork. Nicholas Street between Highway 417 and Laurier Avenue and St Laurent Boulevard south of Innes Road. The construction project on St Laurent Boulevard is adding bus and cycling facilities. “I don’t think we’re going to have a large bottleneck specifically this year,” Greg Kent, head of traffic management for the city, said. “We don’t expect anything significant, but other conditions such as weather may compound the impacts.” FOR SALE
FOR SALE
Nicholas Street could be the site of some backups, Kent said, but buses have been detoured to the road after the University of Ottawa transit station was closed and cars have been moving well off the highway. Egli said the city would attempt to be as nimble as possible to deal with unexpected delays such as collisions or water main breaks, but residents should plan their trips ahead of time and use other forms of transportation when possible. “Our roadways will be busy and congested,” he said. The city is also dealing with impacts from The Ontario Ministry of Transportation’s widening project on Highway 417 between Maitland Avenue and Island Park Drive. Kent said the city would be working with the province as they become aware of the aspects of the work. Egli said despite the fact that several councillors disagree with the province’s decision to widen the highway — due to the city’s lack of infrastructure available to deal with FOR SALE

the increase traffic — the city has to deal with the cards its dealt. “I think the most pragmatic thing the city can do is work with the plan,” he said. As 2018 approaches, the deadline for the opening of the Confederation Line, the city has launched its Ready for Rail campaign. While it’s still unclear when the official opening day is, Steve Cripps, the director of O-Train construction, said 17 of the 34 LRT vehicles have been assembled and test runs on the east end of the 12.5-kilometre line will soon extend as far west as the University of Ottawa station. Streetscaping on Queen Street continues as workers continue to complete the tunnel. Cripps said crews have installed 6.5 kilometres of track at the maintenance and storage facility and associated spur connector. On Sept. 15, OC Transpo will move an eastbound bus stop on Albert Street at Bayview station to the FOR SALE
FOR SALE
intersection of Albert Street and Bayview Road. Work on Prince of Wales Drive from Deakin Street to Strandherd Road will continue, with closures and lane reductions, as crews work to repave and widen the rural highway. Work continues on the Brian Coburn Boulevard extension and the Navan Road rehabilitation may slow traffic in the east end suburbs. There’s a Highway 416 culvert repair at Fallowfield Road, as well as a bridge repair at the highway, Richmond and Baseline roads and a bridge that connects 416 to Barnsdale and Bankfield roads. Work on the Kinburn culvert should have minimal impacts, according to the presentation made by city staff. Work continues on police headquarters, the Alta Vista hospital link, the Chapman Mills bus rapid transit lanes in Barrhaven and Loretta Avenue integrated road, sewer and water work. FOR SALE

‘It was one of the worst days of my career’: Air Transat employee Hearing on delayed flights wraps up in Ottawa BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
Two days of hearings over a pair of Air Transat airplanes languishing on the tarmac at the Ottawa International Airport turned into a finger-pointing contest between the airline and the Airport Authority. The hearing was held by the Canadian Transportation Authority on Aug. 30 and 31, nearly a month after severe thunderstorms diverted 20 flights from the Montreal and Toronto. “It was one of the worst days of my career,” said Igor Mazalica, flight director for TS157, which had come in from Brussels. The three-member agency panel focused on Transat’s socalled tariff, which indicates passengers should not be held longer than 90 minutes on a tarmac. The agency is accepting written submissions until Sept. 8 and expects a decision a few weeks later. Flight TS507 from Rome and TS157 were diverted from Montreal with nearly empty fuel tanks. The flights were stranded for five and six hours respectively. Staff on the ground de-
scribed the day as chaotic, with 20 flights being diverted from the Montreal and Toronto airports. Marc Laroche, CEO of the Airport Authority, said the diverted flights brought an additional 6,000 passengers to the airport. Six hours with limited access to food and water in a hot airplane on the tarmac at has traumatized his daughters, said Blaise Pascal Irutingabo. “Our whole trip has been reduced to this incident,” he said of waiting on the plane for hours. “When I talked to my daughter about going to Europe again, she said not for a long time and not on that plane. My daughters had nightmares for a week after.” The Canadian Transportation Agency announced the public inquiry into the handling of the delays on Aug. 9. Days after the announcement, passengers were offered a $400 reimbursement from the airline due to the inconvenience. “The delays and the fuel exhaustion of the aircraft from Brussels resulted from a complex chain of events. We assume our share of the responsibility, but all the parameters were not under our control,” said Christophe Hennebelle,
vice president of corporate affairs for Air Transat. Hennebelle said the airline is aware the delay was a very difficult situation for passengers. Flight TS507 pilot Yves Saint-Laurent said if he’d had more accurate information he would’ve made a different call. “We were told that it would only be 30 minutes before refuelling,” he said. “It was a pretty easy decision given the information we had.” He said in an emergency situation he would have opened the doors and used the emergency slide, but with the number of people on board the plane on July 31 there would have been injuries. Without access to air stairs, deplaning would have been difficult. Laroche said the Authority doesn’t handle baggage, fuelling, or food and it’s up to the airline to work that out with contracted crews. However, they did reach out to the crew multiple times to see if they could offer assistance. “We have 6,000 water bottles in storage for situations like this,” he said. What they don’t have are air stairs or portable air conditioners, he added. Bruce de Schietere, who was

Blaise Pascal Irutingabo is swarmed by media as he exits the Canadian Transportation Agency hearing on Aug. 30. on flight 157 from Brussels, said he thinks the airline should have reimbursed passengers for 100 per cent of the cost of the airline ticket, as well as other costs they incurred as a result of the delay. Maryanne Zéhil said she nev-
er received the $400 gesture of goodwill from the airline. Marc Jétté, one of the passengers who phoned 911, said an airport employee did board the plane and tell passengers that an air-conditioned space was being made available for
them, but the space never materialized. Jétté accused the airline of treating passengers like cattle. “Our needs, our dignity were not taken into account,” he said. - with files from Erin McCracken

Even though cats may love to have the freedom of running around outside, so too would dogs whose freedom we strictly control. In fact, small children would relish the opportunity to roam freely all day, with little or no regard for their safety. In today’s world this freedom is just not possible. Cats crave familiarity, structure and routine, which is exactly what an indoor life has to offer, with the added bonus of safety from all the dangers that await them outside! By ensuring your cat has the necessary home environment, proper diet, enrichment items, and interactive play, your cat can live a long and happy life indoors. Whether your cat is already a strictly indoor cat or a newly transitioned one, you will want to ensure your home has all the items your cat requires to keep her feeling safe and mentally stimulated. This includes: 1. A refuge room where your cat can go to feel safe during times of anxiety (loud noises, unfamiliar visitors, construction, etc.) 2. Places to climb and perch on, such as a cat tree or a window perch 3. An appropriate scratch post 4. Solo toys that can keep kitty entertained on her own, such as toy mice, ping pong balls and even paper bags 5. A litter box that is kept well cleaned, as cats have meticulous litter box preferences 6. Interactive toys, such as cat wands, that can be used by you during play time with your pet Learn more great pet tips at www.ottawahumane.ca/your-pet.
As we head into August, the Ottawa Humane Society is asking our community to help us make sure no dog is ever left to suffer in a hot car again. It’s only through educating our community and spreading the word that we can make sure the animals in our community are safe all summer long. The temperature inside a car can quickly climb, turning it into an oven in minutes. A dog inside will begin to pant, drool, suffer increased heart rate, vomit, have seizures and could even die. The dog’s brain may swell, he may have trouble breathing. The heat may affect all his organs, including his heart, weakening the muscle until the poor dog goes into shock. The solution? Never leave a dog in a hot car. Even a couple minutes can have grave consequences. And if you see a dog in a hot car what should you do? Remember to T.A.N. Take information. Note the make, model and licence plate number of the car, the exact location of the car and description of the dog: breed, colour, size etc. Remember that windows cracked open do not significantly reduce the internal temperature of a car. Assess the situation. How long have you been present while the dog has been in the car? Is the dog in distress? Signs of heat distress include excessive panting with the tongue fully extended, stumbling, glazed eyes, disorientation, hiding in the foot well (which is the “coolest” place in a vehicle), convulsions/seizuring, and ultimately coma and death. Notify authorities. Contact nearby stores and businesses. Ask them to make an announcement for the owner to return to their car. Get others to help you. If the dog is in distress call the Ottawa Police Service at 911. Stay on the scene to monitor the situation until the owner or help arrives.

Another reminder of Depression times MARY COOK Memories
G
etting ready to go back to school after the summer was over, was no big deal. Smart’s Drug Store put out long tables of the school books we would need, and what couldn’t be traded or handed down from an older brother or sister, had to be bought. That meant more chickens, eggs and whatever else could bring in a few dollars would have to be peddled door to door by Mother to pay for what we would need in school supplies.
For me, unlike bad Marguirite, there would be no new clothes. What I had worn before would be washed and starched if needed, and any missing buttons sewn on. If I was lucky, I might get a new pair of store-bought bloomers to wear in place of my flour bag ones I wore every day. But I would be allowed to wear them only for the first day back to school. As if anyone, other than me, would know I even had them on! It was a Saturday. A week before school was to start. We were on our way into Renfrew, just Mother and me. The back seat of the Model T was loaded with what Mother hoped would sell so that we could buy our house supplies, and have enough left over to buy what books we needed for school.
There’s no use in asking, I said to myself. But I mulled it over in my mind, and thought, just maybe Mother would listen. “Do you think I could have a new pair of store-bought shoes this year?” I paused for a moment and then added, “Just once I’d like to have a pair that someone else hadn’t worn first. And not boy’s shoes.” Mostly, my shoes came in the hand-me-down box from Aunt Lizzie in Regina who only had two sons...no daughters, and you didn’t have to be too smart to see that they were decidedly boy’s shoes. Brown, they were, called brogues, with thick laces. I was the only one the shoes would fit. And I hated them with a passion. How I longed for a pair of girl’s shoes. Mother didn’t even answer, and I wondered if she heard me, so I

asked again if she thought there might be enough money to buy me a pair of shoes. “They don’t have to be fancy... as long as they are girl’s shoes,” I said again, barely whispering. Again, Mother didn’t answer for the longest time. “Mary, I know you’d like new shoes, but by the time we get the books the five of you need for school, and the supplies I need at home, there will be no money left. I even had to go into the sugar bowl to take out some of my egg money today.” She was almost whispering, and I could hardly hear her. Her voice sounded so far away. I never mentioned new shoes again and the night before the first day of school, I saw Mother try to shine the ugly brogues. She was using goose grease and a piece of flannelette, and I saw her rubbing the
shoes as if she hated them as much as I did. She took out the laces, and put in a brand new pair she got at Briscoe’s General Store on the way home from Renfrew. “Put them on my bill please,” she said. She didn’t have the nine cents to pay for them. When I went to bed, the brogues were sitting beside the chair with the school clothes I would be wearing. My pillow was still damp when I woke up the next morning. I was never more aware of what it meant to be a child of the Depression. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?
