Successful tree planting in Cardinal Creek

In Your Community Newspaper*

The Cardinal Creek Community Association hosted a successful tree planting on Oct. 1. Volunteers planted about 100 trees at the Cardinal Creek Karst at the east end of Watters Road. “We were really fortunate, we had lots of volunteers show up,” said association vicepresident Sandra Stefanik. The tree planting is an annual event hosted by the community association in conjunction with the city and Ecology Ottawa. The city paid for the 100 seedlings that were planted, and had staff show up and lay out the trees exactly where they were to be planted. Now, the community association has seen 7,100 trees planted in their community over the past 11 years. The 3018 Orléans Army Cadets, Fourth Orléans Scouts and Beavers were among those who helped with the planting. “The (seedlings) were tiny, so it allowed even the little Beavers to dig and plant,” Stefanik said. “So the tallest one was maybe two feet tall.” The community association isn’t finished yet with the Karst for the year. They will host their annual GeoHeritage Day on Oct. 16 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Karst, at the east end of Watters Road past where the pavement turns to gravel.

Each neighbourhood arts project will give a professional artist a paid opportunity to partner with residents of one of the 10 identified communities to create works of art. The projects will be selected by a peer assessment committee made up of professional working artists. “I’m thrilled to have been chosen to manage the Neighbourhood Arts 150 program. This represents an exciting opportunity for me to work with my peers,” said program manager and visual artist Patrice Stanley in an AOE Arts Council press release. “Artists need to constantly engage with audiences, they need validation, they need recognition. But most of all, they need paid opportunities.” There is an open call for established artists and arts groups to submit proposals based on the art council’s criteria, which is online at www.artsoe.ca. Artists and groups will then be matched with neighbourhoods and partners. The projects will run between late March and October 2017. Projects and partners will be announced in March 2017. The deadline to apply as a paid artist or arts group is mid-November. “Thanks to this project by AOE Arts Council, Ottawa communities will be able to celebrate Canada’s artistic and cultural diversity through the rich and unique contributions of their population,” Leslie said.

New red light camera installed at Old Tenth Line and St. Joseph The city’s bulking up the number of red light cameras across Ottawa, with the first of 20 new cameras revealed on Oct. 3 in Orléans. Mayor Jim Watson and councillors Bob Monette and Keith Egli revealed a red light camera in the eastbound lanes of St. Joseph Boulevard at Old Tenth Line Road that was due to become operational within several days. The city contracts the cameras’ operation and monitoring to an outside company at a cost of about $35,000 annually, Watson said.

• Gladstone Avenue at Rochester Street These cameras will be operational in early 2017. There will be 15 more red light cameras installed in 2017, but the city is still evaluating exactly where they will go. The intersections were chosen based on collision data and will increase the total red light cameras in the city to 54 from 34. Ottawa police still are unable to issue tickets to Quebec drivers who run a red light at a camera. Phil Landry, the city’s manager of traffic services, said there are ongoing talks with the province of Quebec to have an agreement in place to be able to ticket Quebec drivers for Ontario infractions caught on camera. Orléans Coun. Monette said the intersection has had reports of risky driving frequently seen by users of the nearby Orléans Community Garden. Gina LaPointe, community garden president, said they’ve seen “a few doozies of accidents” at the intersection. The red light camera on St. Joseph Boulevard at Old Tenth Line Road is close to an intersection that is very close to the Orléans police station, but Watson said it’s surprising the number of people

to show that the vehicle entered the intersection. The fine for running a red light is $260, plus a $5 service fee and a $60 victim surcharge. “Usually when someone gets at $300 fine, that really smartens them up for next time,” said Watson. He said there is a right light running problem in the city. Watson said the money paid in fines would go back into community safety initiatives such as policing and traffic calming. Other red light cameras scheduled to be installed through the rest of 2016 are at: • Catherine Street at Kent Street • Bank Street at Riverside Drive (southern intersection) • Coldrey Avenue at Kirkwood Avenue

Skreamers offers spooky way to support community projects On a busy night, 1,000 people can make their way though Skreamers, Bloom said. The profits are enough that the club can support “a whole host of stuff in the community.” Skreamers was started as a fun way to raise money to support the initiatives Kiwanis is involved with. Halloween is a big spending holiday — second after Christmas — Bloom said. And people don’t stop loving it when they grow up. The Kiwanis started in an empty retail space the Gloucester Centre, and have moved on to the partnership with the Proulx Farm. Now, Skreamers is the major fundraiser that supports many of the local Kiwanis Club activities. It’s scary, it’s community-organized, and profits all go back into the community – so there’s no surprise on a nice night close to Halloween, Skreamers can draw a large crowd, and Bloom recommends coming right at 6:30 p.m. to wait in line. Screamers is located at the Proulx Farm at 1865 O’Toole Road in Cumberland. It opens on Friday and Saturday evenings through October as well as well as Oct. 30 and 31 at 7 p.m., with doors open half an hour early for ticket sales. Admission is $20 per person, cash only.

There’s innocent Halloween fun with silly faces carved in pumpkins, and children in superhero costumes. Then there’s fake-blood-on-thewalls and scary stuff that is definitely not-family-friendly Halloween fun. Skreamers is the latter. Skreamers is a haunted house and hay ride organized annually by the Orléans Kiwanis Club at Proulx Farm, which also hosts its own childfriendly pumpkin festival every Halloween. But every Friday and Saturday night during their haunting season, about 150 volunteers come together to take over an expanded hay ride route and the barn for Skreamers. The finished product is meant to be a spooky, startling experience that is geared towards teens and adults, not small children. It’s not recommended at all for children younger than 10. “We come in at night and we spook up the joint,” said Kiwanis Club president Harley Bloom. “We don’t try to be family-friendly.” As people come in, they enter into a barn, purposely dark with creaky floors and swinging doors.

While there are several Halloween haunt attractions in the city, Bloom claimed Skreamers is the scariest. Most of the attraction remains set up year round, so Kiwanis Club members and volunteers can focus on adding or changing things each fall, instead of setting up the entire attraction from scratch.

Transit plan just the ticket

ood ideas sometimes get shot down because many of us can’t think in the long term. Humankind would never have visited the moon if short-term thinkers had held sway in the American government in the 1960s. While Ottawa’s long-term transit plans aren’t quite on par with a moonshot, the possible revival of plans to expand bus rapid transit deserves widespread support. Ottawa’s Transitway has shown that when the massive expense of a subway line can’t be supported by the current population, bus rapid transit is a viable option. There are plans being revived for bus lanes down the middle of Heron and Baseline roads, creating a link from the O-Train station on Heron to the future light rail station at Bayshore. A subway would be nice – and cost billions of dollars – but faster bus commutes

at a total cost of $200 million fits the bill. It may seem like a lot of cash, but it pales compared to the cost of expanding the city’s roads to accommodate the seemingly never-ending flow of new cars on the road each year. And remember that even if you don’t think you’d use such a public system, every new rider on a bus or subway is one fewer driver clogging up your travel route. The best case scenario for bus rapid transit on Heron and Baseline would see the lanes constructed so they may be converted to rail or streetcars at a later date – when demand increases. Ottawa’s Transitway and our many kilometres of bus lanes have kept this city moving for decades. If municipal politicians 30 or 40 years ago had failed to see the possibilities, all of us would be spending much more time stuck in traffic today. Kudos to the planners for dusting of a bus rapid transit plan our future selves will value.

No doubt: poverty is in our midst

any mornings I wake up and neglect to feel grateful for the basics in my life: the coffee brewing on the timer in the kitchen, access to Internet and a roof over my head. These are all material, of course. I’m also extremely grateful for the health and well-being of my family, and that I have the means to feed them today. For many in Canada, that’s not the case. It’s easy to turn a blind eye to the poverty that exists at every corner. But the reality remains that as middle-class families contemplate the purchase of a second vehicle or a weekend at the cottage, one in eight Canadians is currently living in poverty. Oct. 17 is the United Nations International Day for the Eradication of Poverty. Poverty is a difficult concept to

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse grasp. At its heart, it’s measured by material means. Do adults, children and families have enough money for the basic necessities of life – shelter, food, water and clothing? But a closer examination of the statistics of Canadians who live in poverty shows us that poverty is a much more allencompassing issue. Canada Without Poverty, an advocacy group that has been lobbying the federal government for an anti-poverty strategy since 2008, has compiled a number of statistics from various sources. Even a brief examination shows that who we are at

birth has an enormous impact on our chances of living life free of poverty. Half of all status First Nations children live in poverty; people with disabilities are twice as likely to live in poverty as those without disabilities; more than one in five single mothers live in poverty. Among those who are homeless, nearly half are estimated to have a disability, including debilitating mental health issues. It’s easy to recommend magic bullet solutions, such as a universal basic income for all Canadians. But with the complexities of poverty, a report released in early October from left-wing think tank, the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives (CCPA), suggests a no-strings attached program may not be the way to go. Much like the universal childcare benefit introduced under the previous Conservative federal

government, a universal model in its most basic form doesn’t discriminate by income. This would inevitably see funding withdrawn from existing poverty-reduction programs, suggest the report authors, to subsidize the wealthy. The CCPA report highlights instead a more targeted approach, which would identify those living below the poverty line – including people among the working poor – and offer specific non-taxable benefits. Beyond basic income, however, there are inequalities built into our social system. Three years ago, the Canadian Medical Association (CMA) cited poverty as the No. 1 barrier to good health. The report highlighted Canada’s appalling record, with a poverty rate three times higher than comparable countries such as Sweden, Norway and Finland. Among the recommendations from the CMA was a minimum guaranteed income of the sort that’s currently being discussed at federal EDITORIAL: MANAGING EDITOR: Theresa Fritz, 613-221-6225 theresa.fritz@metroland.com NEWS EDITOR: Brian Dryden, brian.dryden@metroland.com, 613-221-6162 REPORTER/PHOTOGRAPHER: Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com 613-221-6241

and provincial levels. The organization also advocated for a housing first approach for homeless people living with chronic care conditions. Other recommendations included a national food security program, federal investments in health insurance and a focus on lifting children out of poverty, something which successive governments have promised, yet failed to deliver decade after decade.

Park path, LRT, Trans-Orléans pathway receive federal funding BY BRIER DODGE

brier.dodge@metroland.com

One of the 58 transit infrastructure projects receiving funding in Ottawa through the federal government’s Public Transit Infrastructure Fund was celebrated at Cardinal Creek Park on Oct. 1. A multi-use pathway in Cardinal Creek Park will be funded through a combination of this federal funding, provincial funding, and municipal funding. In May at the Cardinal Creek Community Association’s annual general meeting, community members were looking for funding to build an access road or pathway that would connect existing portions of the park with a second portion of the park currently using the working name Park 18A. At the time, Cardinal Creek Community Association president Sean Crossan said the current challenge would be to find funding to pay for that access road, and that community association members had reached out to governments at a variety

of levels. Ottawa-Orléans MPP Marie-France Lalonde said she was thrilled that all levels of government have been able to work together to fund projects such as the pathway. “The Cardinal Creek community will benefit from this funding partnership which was realized thanks to Mayor Jim Watson, MP Andrew Leslie and MPP MarieFrance Lalonde,” said Orléans Coun. Bob Monette in a press release. “The construction of this new access road will ensure that future amenities in Park 18A are easily accessible for residents of all age. I look forward to continuing to work hand in hand with the community association for the betterment of Cardinal Creek in the future.” TRANSIT INFRASTRUCTURE

In 2016, Ottawa was scheduled to receive a total of $155.9 million in funding – a large part of which is dedicated to light rail transit. “Getting people where they

need to go safely, quickly and comfortably is fundamental to economic growth and building an inclusive society, and I’m very pleased to see how this new funding program will result in widespread benefits for Orléans transit users,” said Orléans MP Andrew Leslie in a press release. Projects receiving funding include work on LRT Phase 2, pathway modifications around transit stations, construction of a multi-use pathway in Cardinal Creek, and construction of the Trans-Orléans Pathway.

City strikes deal with 6,300 CUPE employees Workers had been without a contract since December of 2015 staff

The city announced Sept. 28 that it had ratified a collective agreement with CUPE local 503. The union is the city’s largest, and represents 6,300 employees – referred to as inside/outside workers – in various departments. The workers’ previous contract expired Dec. 31, 2015. The two parties reached a tentative deal in August but the details couldn’t be released publicly until both sides ratified the agreement. The new contract provides the following wage increases: • 1.92 per cent effective Jan. 1, 2016. • 1.92 per cent effective Jan. 1, 2017. • 1.95 per cent effective Jan. 1, 2018. • 2.0 per cent effective Jan. 1, 2019. Starting in the new year, employees will start accruing four weeks of vacation after five years of service, instead of six. New employees will be paid a probationary rate of 95 per cent. Personal support workers and registered practical nurses working in the city’s four, long-term care facilities will get $100 allowance for shoes and clothes.

Mayor’s Report

A CLEAN, GREEN CITY By: Jim Watson Mayor of Ottawa

SUBMITTED/OTTAWA POLICE

Members of the Youth Advisory Committee meet for about two hours once a month. Members make a one year committment to be on the committee.

Police seek youth for advisory committee Orléans constable got a taste of policing before joining force BY BRIER DODGE

brier.dodge@metroland.com

Ottawa police are recruiting more young people to join their youth advisory committee. Formed in 2012, the committee brings together approximately 20 youth who are 13 to 24 years old from across the city for monthly meetings at the Elgin Street police station and for a variety of community projects. “They have two roles,” said Jessica Ripley, a police civilian employee in charge of the committee. “One is to be a voice for the youth in the community. They’re a diverse group of young people from all over, and our hope is they bring the voice of young people. The other role they play is to be a resource internally for the service.” The group played a resource role when the robbery unit said there was a spike in cell phone robberies. The youth prepared a cell phone robbery outreach campaign and designed materials that were distributed in schools. Const. Phil Charbonneau, 24, joined the youth committee the first year it was formed. The then-teenager from Orléans learned how youth can connect differently with other youth, instead of uniformed officers. “The uniform can be intimidating, so showing up as a youth to those chat sessions just really eases the mood and gives the youth a more open and

relaxed forum to talk about how they really feel, and not feel like they have to hold back,” Charbonneau said. The youth have responded to the community when the youth specifically needed to connect. “After a number of shootings in Lowertown, they did a session for the adults in the community,” Ripley said. “And the youth in the community said, ‘Hey, what about us? We have concerns too.’ So we went in, and did a separate session in Lowertown with their youth.” RECRUIT

Now, the youth advisory committee is looking for more members.

‘They’re a diverse group of young people from all over, and our hope is they bring the voice of young people.’ JESSICA RIPLEY YOUTH ADVISORY COMMITTEE CO-ORDINATOR

In 2012, Charbonneau said he joined because it was a good opportunity to see a side of policing he didn’t really know. Usually, police were seen in high schools when something bad would happen. With an interest in joining the police force himself, he learned about the different units, participated in police ride-alongs, and in December 2015, he was hired by the Ottawa police. He

now works in the central district. He’s still involved with the youth advisory committee, just now as a police officer, and remains friends with many of those he met on the committee. “As a kid who grew up in Orléans, I only got to know the Orléans area. So meeting these youth from different regions really widens your perspective from what really is going on in the community, and how different parts of the community are dealing with issues differently,” he said. “I’m still a part of it to this day, so it’s something I really believe in.” Ripley said those who want to join are asked to give a minimum of a year commitment, though she still has members of the original 2012 group participating. Beyond the monthly meetings, the commitment level depends on each individual and their schedule, she said. There are a variety of chat sessions, community events such as Police Week, and fundraisers such as a sleepout for the Youth Services Bureau coming up. “If you have any kind of interest in your community, in policing, in helping young people better understand policing or building better relationships or bridges, I think it’s a great opportunity to do that,” Ripley said. “Instead of complaining about something, it’s a great opportunity to be proactive and constructively do something about it.” Applications for the youth advisory committee are open until Oct. 14. Applicants are required to fill out a short application, and provide one reference such as a teacher, employer or youth worker. The application can be found at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/3QTKBBV.

Following its residents, Ottawa’s best asset may be its natural beauty and geographic diversity. It is our responsibility, as the current stewards, to ensure the vibrancy and health of Ottawa’s natural features for future generations. Through investments like the Ottawa River Action Plan (ORAP) and Light Rail Transit (LRT), we have made tremendous strides in ensuring the health of our city and its residents by cutting down carbon emissions, reducing pollution and waste, protecting our green spaces and much more. As an organization, the City of Ottawa needs to strike a balance between developing the city as a green community, while ensuring the long-term affordability of services. Alongside Energy Ottawa, a subsidiary of Hydro Ottawa, I recently had the pleasure of announcing the installation of solar panels on eight City buildings as part of our ongoing commitment to expand renewable energy generation in Ottawa. This is following the success of the 2010 pilot project, where smaller solar energy systems were installed at City Hall and at the Integrated Transit Operations Control Centre on Belfast Road. Once all eight solar projects are complete, the system is expected to generate nearly 3,000,000 kWh/year; the equivalent of removing more than 300 homes from the grid annually. The renewable energy generated from these panels is expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 41,382 metric tonnes over the next 20-years. Additionally, the City of Ottawa is expected to receive approximately $85,000 a year or $1.7 million in revenue over the 20-year contract. That’s revenue for important services from renting roof space that otherwise would not be used. The cost of solar panels has reduced dramatically, which is why solar projects and this partnership with Energy Ottawa makes good sense. The ultimate goal is to add solar panels on all city buildings that can accommodate them, as long as it makes financial sense – and so far, it does. As solar panels and other green technologies become more affordable, these projects will become more widespread. In 1885, Ottawa became the first city in the world to light all of its streets with electricity. It’s fitting that we continue to pioneer innovative new green technology. Last month, alongside Environment Committee Chair Councillor David Chernushenko, I announced the conversion of 58,000 streetlights to LED technology. An initiative that, upon completion, will save the City an estimated $6 million annually. Street lighting accounts for 17%of the electricity used by the City. The conversion is expected to reduce energy consumption by 50% per fixture. Since converting 750 lights on Carling Avenue in 2015, the City has already saved more than $72,000 annually. Tapping into the potential of green technology is not only fiscally prudent: it will generate new revenue for the City, improve the quality of life for its residents and ensure the longevity of the natural splendor of our city.

Fundraising campaign launched for Sir John A Macdonald winter trail BY MELISSA MURRAY

mmurray@metroland.com

Instead of a blustery, vacant, unappealing pathway, Dave Adams is hoping to fulfill his dream of making the Sir John A Macdonald multi-use path an urban winter trail all season long. But he needs a little help. Before the first snowflakes even fly, a crowdfunding campaign for the trail has begun and has already raised almost half of its goal of $20,000. “I’m starting with the community,” said Adams, who will be the trail’s head groomer, of his fundraising effort. “This is a community-driven initiative and if we want it, together let’s make it happen.” So far $8,340 has been raised by 119 contributors. The money will help pay for a full season of grooming and new equipment for the 16-kilometre trail, which will be open from the Canadian War Museum to Dominion Station. In total, the project will cost about $50,000 this year – which includes the cost of the groomer and snowmobile. The trail crosses through Westboro Beach, Island Park, Champlain Park forest trails, Remic Park, Lemieux Island crossing and by the Prince of Wales train bridge.

SUBMITTED

In one hour, last winter, there were more than 216 people using the Sir John A Macdonald winter trail during a pilot project. This year, groomer Dave Adams and Dovercourt are raising money to have the groomed trail open all season. After a successful pilot project last winter initiated by the Westboro Beach Community Association and with the National Capital Commission, Adams said the project was something he couldn’t walk away from. “The greatest compliment someone can pay a groomer is to use their trail,”

Adams said. And they did. In one hour, last winter, there were more than 216 users on the pathway. “It was crazy busy,” he said of the pilot project, which had him bring equipment in from Nakkertok Ski Club to groom the trail.

Proudly Presents the 8th Annual

After that success, he approached Dovercourt Recreation Centre to be a partner in the project and to sign the agreements with the NCC to make the trail a reality this winter. “This is about taking a community member’s dream and making it real,” said Stephen Nason, Dovercourt’s senior director of programs. “In the winter, we are watching this resource go nowhere.” Dovercourt plans to add programming to the trail, including ski lessons and potentially a ski club. Nason said they’ll also look at opportunities to add programs for people who want to try fat-tire biking. “Help us build this trail and then we’ll program the heck out of it and have a lot of fun,” he said. Even if they can’t meet their fundraising goals, the trail will be groomed until the money runs out, Nason said. The trail would be groomed three to four times per week from December to March. With machine-groomed classic ski tracks and a packed centre, the trail will be multi-use for everything from skate-skiing, walking, running and fat-tire cycling. To fund the remaining $30,000, Adams is looking for retail and corporate sponsors, as well as businesses that might want to set up shop along the

trail, renting skis or other services. Adams is also spending time looking for grants and writing proposals to help fund the project. “We need help from everybody,” he said, adding the project has become one backed by many volunteers and community organizations. The deal with the NCC would last three years, with a possible two-year extension. While the 16-kilometre trail is the goal for this winter, Adams is hoping ultimately the trail could be extended to Mud Lake, the Nepean Sailing Club and Kanata and even east towards the Chateau Laurier. He’d also like to see a similar trail on the Quebec side. “We need to prove what we can do, but I think Ottawa can make better use of its wintertime bike paths and give everyone the opportunity to get outside,” Adams said. “In the grand scheme of things, buying a little grooming equipment for the benefit of so many, I find so compelling,” he said.

Committee votes in favour of regulating special area levies BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt is moving forward with a plan to put some guidelines in place around special area levies. Moffatt spoke up this spring after council approved a pair of levies – one to deal with mosquitoes in Kanata north and another to help build a rink in the Canterbury area. Moffatt’s motion, which was carried by the finance and economic development committee on Oct. 4, asks staff to look at options to set guidelines around special area levies. The guidelines would be tied to those of a local improvement charge, which requires approval of two-thirds of property owners in an area. It also has a set appeal mechanism. Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson said she would have welcomed guidelines when implementing the $35 levy for a mosquito con-

trol program in her ward. “I basically had to create my own process,” she said. Moffatt said the idea is to protect residents from an arbitrary tax. “This way 20 per cent of the population can’t dictate what the other 80 per cent pay for,” he said. “And there’s an appeal process.” Nancy Wilson, from the City View Community Association, spoke against the proposal, saying that the status quo works well as a way to implement community initiatives. She called Moffatt’s plan an attack on democracy, but Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder supported Moffatt, saying that was what he was trying to protect. Wilkinson said the plan for a special area levy in Kanata was well publicized, but it was tough to get residents to participate in consultation. “You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t get it to drink,” she said. Alta Vista Coun. Jean Cloutier, who brought for-

ward the special levy involving the Canterbury rink, said councillors are not imposing special area levies out of the blue. “In my case, it’s an issue that I ran on,” Cloutier said of the levy imposed for the rink. G l o u c e s t e r - S o u t h g at e Coun. Diane Deans said she’s seeing the practice used increasingly south of the border. “It creates have and have not communities, because poorer neighbourhoods can’t afford the levy,” she said. Mayor Jim Watson said Cloutier and his predecessor Peter Hume “set the gold standard” for consultation on levies. “But not everyone can be counted on to have use the same standard,” he said. Staff will report back to council in the second quarter of 2017.

Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt is moving forward with a plan to put some guidelines in place around special area levies.

It’s a family tradition The name Monaghan has been entwined with Queensway Carleton Hospital since it opened in 1976. Stella Monaghan was the first patient the hospital took care of, before the hospital had even officially opened. When the name Monaghan is said within the walls of QCH, people know what family it is. Dr. Ron Monaghan has been a general surgeon at the hospital since 1998. He can often be found in the department of surgery, or doing shifts in the ambulatory care unit. Coming to work at Queensway Carleton just made sense to him. “Of course, I’ve got strong family ties to this hospital. My grandmother was the first patient here, and my parents have been volunteering here for over 30 years. My father was on one of the earliest planning boards.” There was another reason though. “There was some restructuring going on at the Riverside, so that spurred my move here as well.” When Monaghan made the move to QCH, it was his colleague in surgery, Dr. Symes, that really went out of his way to make sure that Monaghan felt comfortable in his new job. “Dr. Symes always ensured that I was well supported if I had any surgical challenges. He’s still at this hospital; we’re in the same department.” His favourite part about working at this hospital is the environment of the OR and the staff. “It’s a comfortable place to be – you see people on a daily basis, and you know them. The nursing staff is very friendly and efficient. The OR is peaceful, focused.” Monaghan has made many lifelong friends during his career at Queensway. He goes to nu-

merous events the foundation holds, as well as the golf tournaments. “Queensway Carleton has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. It’s my family’s hospital.” A moment Monaghan won’t be forgetting for a long while involved his department. “A few years ago, an OR nurse developed a critical illness. The OR team rallied around her, hosting events to assist with financial support for her family.” The first thing that came to Monaghan’s mind in regards to what he wanted people to know about Queensway Carleton was about the staff. “We have a very caring staff here. They’re incredibly friendly, and they’re quite committed to this hospital. The nursing staff is always efficient, and they try their best. I see very satisfied patients because of that, and I’m very thankful.” Working at Queensway has taught Monaghan many things over the 18 years he has been a surgeon within its walls. “Teamwork, definitely. It’s extremely important, especially in an OR. You need to work together; both for the best interest of the patient, and to cultivate a good working relationship.” The way Monaghan summarized his experience with Queensway Carleton Hospital really highlights the way he feels about it. “I have been very privileged to be a part of a hospital community that shows such caring and compassion for the surrounding community.” The word Monaghan chose to describe Queensway Carleton Hospital, a place that has been entangled in his family’s lives for so long? “Compassionate.”

A free children’s show will be coming to the Shenkman Arts Centre at the end of the month as a part of Library Month in Ottawa.

Free children’s play hosted by public library at Shenkman STAFF

The Ottawa Public Library (OPL) is hosting a free children’s play from a French company at the Shenkman Arts Centre on Oct. 30. The library will host La Compagnie Barbès, a theatre group from Paris, France, who will perform Le Voyage d’Azhar. The 10:30 a.m. play is a “rap-concert tale”, according to an OPL release, that follows the journey of a 10-year-old-boy on a search for a precious firestone. The play is intended for ages five and up. Tickets are free for the show, which is being presented as a part of Library Month. Throughout October, special events are being held at various OPL branches through

the city to celebrate the services that public libraries offer. “This is precisely why OPL is here: for you, and for all of us in the community – to inspire learning, spark curiosity, and connect people,” said library CEO Danielle McDonald on a library website message about Library Month. “This Library Month, we are celebrating that mission and showing appreciation to all OPL customers who use and support our 33 branches, making them vital hubs for learning and gathering.” While tickets are free for the show, registration is required online at biblioottawalibrary.ca/en/event/le-voyage-dazhar. The play is scheduled for Oct. 30 at 10:30 a.m. at the Richcraft Theatre at Shenkman Arts Centre.

Coalition applauds announcement of low-income bus pass BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Trevor Haché, from the Healthy Transportation Coalition, says the Oct. 4 announcement of a low-income transit pass is a good start. “We will wait to see what’s next,” he said. Mayor Jim Watson and transit commission chair Coun. Stephen Blais announced the city will implement a discounted transit pass for riders with a household income under the low-income cut off, as defined by Statistics Canada. The Healthy Transportation Coalition and Making Voices Count have been advocating for the pass, said Lisa Quesnel. Quesnel, a newly minted Algonquin College student and single mother of three, said she used to miss work some days because she couldn’t afford to shell out the $103.75 for an adult monthly pass. “I was really happy to hear this,” she said of the mayor’s announcement. “Everyone

worked really hard.” Watson said he heard from constituents that they want to see a low-income pass. “But they didn’t want it to be on the backs of regular adult pass holders,” he said. The details were slim, as Watson said the cost of the discounted pass and the source of the revenue to pay for it won’t be announced until the draft budget, but he did say the city would continue to seek funding from the province. When the transit commission considered the pass in May, staff estimated there are 8,800 riders who don’t currently get a pass through the Ontario Disability Support Program or the city’s senior pass, and would be able to take advantage of the low-income pass. The two options presented at committee were offering an adult pass at the price of a student pass – which would cost the city $1.4 million. Another option would lower the price from $103.75 to $58. That option would cost the city $3 million.

ready considering. Haché said even with the good news, its important to keep the pressure on. The coalition and Mak-

Unique fashion show highlights Ottawa’s artsy side BY MICHELLE NASH BAKER

michelle.nash@metroland.com

Ever flipped through a magazine, or watched a fashion show on television and thought – I want that? Well, a fashion show in Ottawa will offer its guests just that – the ability to purchase exactly what the model is wearing – only moments after they saw it. Art in Fashion 613 is this different type of fashion show that will take place on Oct. 15 at the Library and Archives Canada, 395 Wellington St., starting at 6 p.m. It is not just a fashion show. The evening offers the combination of a fashion show, a meet and greet with designers and an artisan market all in one. Kym Brown of Bombshell Revival Designs and Rene Trim from Creative Ottawa partnered to create the show last year as a way to showcase that art can be fashion and fashion can be art. “I’m hoping that this event will change people’s mind, that fashion is art,” Brown said. “Fashion is a statement about yourself and that is an art form.” Considering it was their first time

trying something different last year, Brown said the show seemed to resonate with people. At last year’s inaugural event, Brown said nearly 300 people attended – many of which asked her when her next show would be held. And pretty much since the curtain fell on the October 2015 show, Brown has heard from multiple vendors, designers and shoppers about when show No. 2 would take place. Laughing, Brown added, the first four tickets to this year’s event were sold in April. “There has been some great buzz, we are very proud of it,” Brown said. FOR SALE

The evening includes food, sweets and a night market, where local artisans will be selling their wares. Also up for sale will be every design seen during the fashion show. “That was a must – all designers must have their designs available for sale,” Brown said. A designer herself, Brown said she has heard many times her designs are wearable pieces of art – and she said that is always what she

ART IN FASHION 613/SUBMITTED

Art in Fashion 613 will be an evening that organizers say will prove that art can be fashion and fashion can be art. The event is on Oct. 15 at the Library and Archives Canada, 395 Wellington St. has aspired to do – create pieces that people can wear, but admire too. The designers will be set up in

a special section in the market, as well there will be a total of 30 artisan vendors from varying areas of

artistic expression – painting, sculpture, jewelry and clothing that were picked to fit with the art and fashion theme of the event. The key to the event, Brown said, is to make it easy for guests to shop and enjoy looking at the designs – which is why, this fashion show also has no stage to speak of. “Last year we had a stage, with the fashion show first and the night market followed, but what we found was many people left as soon as the show was over,” Brown said. This year, Brown said they decided to change things up and have the fashion show take place right through the market. “The models will be weaving through the guests,” Brown said. This way, Brown said, shoppers will be able to see a design and then walk right over to the designer. Aside from showcasing up and coming Ottawa designers, the evening will include live vocal performance from TÙ and John Mielke from BlastTheRadio.com will host the evening’s fashion show. The first 200 guests will receive a complimentary treat from Sue’s Sweets – which will be designing a special treat for the event.

Feds to create task force on cycling, pedestrian safety Task force being set up through Canadian Council of Motor Transport Administrators BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

The federal government is getting involved in making cycling on roadways safer. Federal Transportation Minister Marc Garneau announced Sept. 29 that Transport Canada and the provinces will establish a new task force in an attempt to reduce injuries and fatalities involving pedestrians, cyclists and heavy trucks. The announcement of the task force follows a letter from Mayor Jim Watson to Garneau. Cyclists held a rally at city hall on Sept. 1 following the death of a woman at the corner of Laurier Avenue and Lyon Street. Cyclists were also hit at the intersection of the Vanier Parkway and Donald Street and Ogilvie and Cyrville roads earlier that week. In response to the accidents, the mayor met with local pedestrian and cycling groups. Watsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s letter asked that further

research be conducted on truck safety guards and other safety measures that would reduce fatal collisions. In a press release, Garneau said the task force would explore cameras, sensor systems, side guards, as well as educational safety and awareness programs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am pleased to work with my provincial, territorial and municipal colleagues to explore options to reduce collisions and improve safety for everyone on Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roadways,â&#x20AC;? Garneau said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s through technology, equipment, or an educational approach, we need to find out what works best in order to improve safety for Canadians.â&#x20AC;? The task force will be established through the Canadian Council of Motor Transport Administrators. Watson said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pleased to see the federal government moving forward on the file. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am pleased that Minister Garneau has heard our call and is committed to enhancing safety measures; I look forward to seeing the results of their discussions and the proposed study,â&#x20AC;? Watson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While it is impossible to completely eliminate incidents, the City of Ottawa will strive to reduce their likelihood and severity.â&#x20AC;?

Back to the Future bash raises $16,300 for Queensway Carleton’s ACE unit BY MEGAN DELAIRE mdelaire@metroland.com

Without a flux capacitor, organizers of a Back to the Futurethemed fundraiser hosted in Bells Corners in May for the Queensway Carleton Hospital Foundation had to wait until after the event to find out how successful it was. Well, the numbers are in. Nearly five months later, the city councillors who hosted the Enchantment Under the Sea fundraiser say the event far exceeded their expectations. On Oct. 3, College Coun. Rick Chiarelli and Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson presented hospital staff with a cheque for $16,310. “It was more than double what we set out to raise, so that’s really good,” Chiarelli said. “And it was an extremely successful evening with all sorts of Back to the Future fans from all over the city there.” The event included live and silent auctions, live entertainment and a three course meal, and brought more than 100 guests to 1951 West Kitchen and Bar on Robertson Road in support of the hospital. The funds raised that night will go toward the hospital’s new Myers Automotive acute care of the elderly unit, known as the ACE unit, which is scheduled to open on Oct. 14 and will begin accepting patients in November. Designed to help elderly patients who are facing more complex challenges than the general population, the new unit will use

state of the art equipment and a holistic approach when treating illness and injury. When it opens, it will be the second unit of its kind in Ontario, and the first in Ottawa. Chiarelli said getting residents across the city involved in fundraising for the unit is an important way for the hospital to engage the families and individuals who will benefit from the unit as they age. “Every family should think about making a contribution because every family is going to use this unit at some point in the foreseeable future,” Chiarelli said. Wilkinson said although the centre is in Nepean, residents in Kanata should feel equally invested in its development since the hospital serves a large portion of Ottawa’s western communities. “A lot of people in Kanata support it, as well as in Nepean,” Wilkinson said. “Because it’s a hospital for all of us in the west end and it has been used by our family and every family around here over time, and we’ve really appreciated having it.” Contributions from the May 11 event bring the hospital slightly closer to raising the last $400,000 needed for the $12-million unit, but there is still some work to do. “We certainly have all the basic equipment,” said Cathie Gray, clinical lead for the ACE unit. “We’re still fundraising that last $400,000, but I think we’ll be ready to go for patients, and I think that as the money comes in we’ll be buying more of the equipment that’s suitable for the age population.”

In cold blood: reptiles take over museum BY MICHELLE NASH BAKER

michelle.nash@metroland.com

They might not be fuzzy and cuddly, but the 19 reptiles that have taken over the fourth floor at the Canadian Museum of Nature are a sight to see. The museum’s latest travelling exhibition Reptiles: Beautiful and Deadly opens on Oct. 7 and gives the average museum goer a chance to see the 19 live reptile specimens in recreated natural habitats. Among the creatures on display, there is a chance to watch a cobra slither around a bull skull, or a chameleon stand as still as the tree it’s perched on. Better yet, have a go at trying to find all four of the geckos in their encasement. There are also giant tortoises, a Gila monster, an American alligator and a python to check out. The largest travelling reptile exhibition in the world was created in 1999 by Clyde Peeling’s Reptiland in Allenwood, Pa. This exhibition focuses on the “cold-blooded” reptiles, which depend on outside sources of heat to warm their bodies. “The experience is meant to explode common myths and instill a new appreciation for these misunderstood creatures,” said Meg Beckel, president of the museum. Watching the reptiles move about is only half the fun in this new exhibition – there are a number of interactive components where visitors can learn about fangs, skulls, shells, milking a viper and how to tell the difference between and an alligator and a crocodile. Visitors are also be able to see historic specimens from the museum’s own national reptile collection, which curator of the vertabrae and zoology collection, Kamal Khidas, said he was most excited about. “It’s a chance to showcase a small portion of our collection that is in Gatineau,” Khidas said. According to Khidas, the museum has over 64,000 specimens or 545 species in their collection. Khadis added he loves the fact this exhibition is open, with a lot of space for patrons to move around, so even on the museum’s busiest of days, people will have a chance to get up close to the animals. Kathryn Allen, one of the zookeepers on hand for the exhibition, said she hopes people come to check out the reptiles because while they aren’t as fuzzy or cuddly as panda bears, they offer up just as much to learn. “I was teaching people how amazing they are and I ended up falling

in love with them,” Allen said of how she ended up wrangling snakes and lizards for a living. “I wanted to work with lions and tigers, but everyone loves them. It’s much harder to get people to love a crocodile. They are less fuzzy, but just as important.” Thanks to the museum, here are some cool facts about reptiles: • Today most biologists classify animals by their evolutionary family tree, an approach called cladistics. The animals that evolved an outer covering of dry, horny scales are called reptiles. Their living descendants include turtles, crocodilians, lizards, snakes and birds (feathers are modified scales). • There are more than 10,000 species of reptiles in the world. In Canada, there are 54 species and sub-species. • The structure of the turtle shell has changed little since the age of the dinosaurs. Scientists disagree about where turtles fit in the evolutionary tree of life. • The first known warm-blooded lizard, the tegu, can heat itself to as much as 10 C above its surroundings, making it unique among reptiles. • Snakes are lizards that have lost their legs, ear openings and eyelids— possibly ancient adaptations for an underground existence. • More people die from bee stings each year than snakebites. In the United States, about 8,000 people receive venomous snakebites. Only nine to 15 of those people die. • Most venomous snakebites in North America are from copperheads, water moccasins and rattlesnakes. • Alligators, crocodiles, caimans and the gharial are the closest living relatives of birds. They have bird-like hearts, digestive tracts, ear canals, and rib cages. • Alligators and other crocodilians are the “loud mouths” of the reptile world. Calls vary widely depending on species, age, size and sex. Some species can communicate over 20 different kinds of messages through sound alone. • Chameleons change skin color to express a mood or aid in camouflage. Tentacle-like chromatophores move pigments up and down through the layers of skin. The closer the pigment gets to the surface of the skin, the darker the animal appears. For more cool facts about reptiles, visit the exhibition which will be on display at the museum until April 8, 2017, at 240 McLeod St. in Ottawa. In addition to regular museum admission, a surcharge of $6 applies for this special exhbit. For hours, admission, and other information, visit nature.ca.

Orléans’ Dixon to play with men’s national soccer team in Morocco BY BRIER DODGE

brier.dodge@metroland.com

Jamar Dixon, an Ottawa Fury FC soccer player who grew up in Orléans, continues to receive men’s national team assignments. On Oct. 2, Dixon was named to the Canadian team to take part in a pair of international friendly matches in Morocco. The matches were scheduled for Oct. 7 against Mauritania and Oct. 11 against

Morocco. Both games will be played in Marrakech. Gatineau native Maxim Tissot, who plays with the Ottawa Fury FC, was also named to the Canadian team. “It’s a great reward to the club for investing so heavily in Canadian players and it’s a great opportunity for Jamar and Max,” said Fury FC head coach Paul Dalglish in a press release. “It’s fantastic for them and one thing that we want to be known for is

developing the pool of Canadian talent, so I’m glad to see those two guys are getting called up.” Dixon was named to a Canadian men’s team recently, as part of the 23-man squad that played in a World Cup qualifier against Honduras and El Salvador in September. He first played for Canada this past February. Both players were expected to miss a Fury FC match against the New York Cosmos on Oct. 9.

Ottawa author shares lessons learned from last of the fishing guides love’ and ‘the five lures you’d be an idiot not to own’ to ‘how to belong somewhere’ and ‘how to raise good kids and spot bad ones.’ “The idea of the book is he is a guide. He is a teacher,” said Corbett, who readily admits he has asked Kuiack for advice over the years, specifically about his career. “Frank has some things figured out. He is one of the most content people I know. Happy too. Stressfree,” he explained. “There is no second-guessing with Frank. He’s not trying to find his place in this world. He’s exactly where he wants to be.” Kuiack has said the second published installment is a guide to “all practical wisdom, not the stupid stuff,” said Corbett. “And I think it is. It’s a 12-step guide to everything you need to know to be happy.”

BY ERIN MCCRACKEN

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

It was a phone call and then a milestone birthday that inspired Ron Corbett to cast his line for the sequel of a story that first hooked him almost two decades ago. The Manotick author and former Ottawa journalist recently released his second book on the life lessons Frank Kuiack has learned – many of them the hard way – during his 73 years of guiding fishing enthusiasts to choice locations in the Algonquin Highlands. “I think he has a world view that’s unique to him,” Corbett said of chronicling the wisdom Kuiack has shared in The Last Guide’s Guide (to family, money, fishing and everything else that matters), which was published this summer. “Every other fishing guide stopped doing it,” said Corbett, whose first book about Kuiack, The Last Guide – A Story of Fish and Love, was published by Penguin Books Canada in 2001. “Nobody does it anymore.” Corbett was chasing a story for the Ottawa Citizen about the wolves of Algonquin Provincial Park when he first encountered the fishing guide and bushman. When they met, Corbett knew he had a different story on his hands. “Immediately, there was something there. You just don’t meet people like this all the time. There’s just something unique – a word I don’t use often – about Frank,” Corbett said sitting on the back deck of his Manotick home, which offers a beautiful view of the Rideau River. Corbett’s first book about the “ornery,” “cantankerous,” and “really kind” man, focused on Kuiack’s life and work in his hometown of Whitney, Ont., located south of the park. “People just connected with his story,” Corbett said, noting that readers were drawn to the inspirational story of a man who gave up drinking, saved his marriage and turned his life around, among a host of other experiences and adventures.

NEXT STEPS

ERIN MCCRACKEN/METROLAND

Manotick-based author and former journalist Ron Corbett holds a copy of ‘The Last Guide’s Guide,’ the follow-up to his first book about Frank Kuiack, the last of a generation of fishing guides in the Algonquin Highlands. Kuiack was just eight years old when he began guiding. Today, the 81-year-old is still on the job, though he’s scaled back his schedule to some degree. Corbett’s sequel, published earlier this summer by Ottawa Press and Publishing, zeroes in what the lifelong guide himself has learned over the decades. And there is much to be gleaned from him, though Corbett narrowed down the life lessons to 12. He himself has learned more than a thing or two. “This is a gentleman with three years of education. I look to him for advice from time to time,” the author said. “He’s just so capable in the bush. It’s astonishing.” After the first book came out,

Corbett and Kuiack developed a friendship. And when he learned about five years ago that Kuiack had lost the vision in one eye, he was worried. “There’s no such thing as a blind fishing guide,” said Corbett. “I started thinking whether it was coming to an end.” So they went fishing together that summer of 2011, and again in 2012. Corbett took notes, but continued to fish poorly. (Corbett said of his own skill on the water, “I’m a transitioning fisherman. It means I’m bad going to something else.”) Kuiack underwent surgery and recovered, and the sense of urgency to

finish the book was diminished, that is, until the guide called up Corbett in the spring of 2015, inviting him to his 80th birthday party. With the reminder that his friend was advancing in years, Corbett decided to buckle down and finish his sequel. Despite being an octogenarian and scaling back on his guiding regimen, Kuiack is still impressive at his age. He could “kill you in an arm wrestle,” Corbett said with a chuckle. PASSING ON HIS KNOWLEDGE

The 12 lessons in The Last Guide’s Guide range from ‘how to fall in

The Last Guide’s Guide is Corbett’s seventh published book, and it won’t be his last. The full-time author is already penning his next page-turner, this time his first work of fiction, called Ragged Lake. The crime novel’s main character is called Frank, and it features many of the same themes as The Last Guide’s Guide. Fishing is also referenced. The idea for the story had been “kicking around for several years,” said Corbett, who recently signed a three-book deal. The first book is scheduled to come out in the fall of 2017. Corbett’s book The Last Guide’s Guide is on the shelves of most Ottawa bookstores, including Chapters. He will be signing books at Mill Street Books in Manotick on Nov. 13, from 1 to 3 p.m. You can connect with him at ottawapressandpublishing.com.

Eager and ready to start covering all our communities BY PHILIPP RAKU

STAFF PHOTO

Longfields-Davidson Heights Secondary School student Philipp Raku has joined the Ottawa newsroom at Metroland Media for the next few months.

praku@metroland.com

My name is Philipp and I am a Grade 11 student at Longfields-Davidson Heights Secondary School, but for the next few months I will also be reporting on the communities that enrich the city of Ottawa as a whole. As a part of my high school studies, I have chosen the cooperative education program to gain experience in the field of journalism; this is a profession I would like to explore more in depth in my future. I am grateful to be given such an opportunity to gain experience in the field of journalism, as well as being surrounded by motivational and professional reporters and editors, who can provide advice while I am with Metroland Media. Some of my courses at LongfieldsDavidson Heights are writing-based classes, as well as communication technology (photography and journalism). Upon completion of high school I plan to go to Carleton University, where I will seek a degree in journalism, with a minor in entrepreneurship. I am also planning to create my own media organization after graduation, where I can comment on the latest political and top stories in Canada.

Along with my school basedtraining, I have more than five years of journalism knowledge through many of my news blog posts, on my own website entitled Dooda Chatter (www.doodachatter.com). It is a non-profit organization that I established three years ago and which is dedicated to providing high quality news coverage of local, national, and even worldwide events. As a resident of Nepean, I value the Nepean-Barrhaven community greatly. I have lived in the area for more than a decade, and have been informed on many of the paramount political, and social events that are organized annually. I have also received many compliments on my fundamental writing skills, as well as my political analytical knowledge. Through my experience I have developed cohesive knowledge that should assist me

through my journalism career, here at Metroland Media’s community newspapers and beyond. In my spare time, I attend the Rideau Canoe Club where I follow yet another interest of mine — water sports — primarily kayaking. It is an enjoyable pastime. Occasionally I compete in regatta races – mainly in the summer and occasionally my family and I go on a leisurely paddle along the Rideau River. Another hobby of mine is cycling. I mostly bike near the downtown area, relishing the beautiful weather near Mooney’s Bay, as well as the wildlife. I am deeply honoured to be a journalist with Metroland Media for the next three months, and vow to provide readers with accurate news coverage that will keep residents of Ottawa informed and connected to their communities.

Federal Funding Finds Orléans Over the past few months I was very satisfied to see federal action for Orléans regarding support for our local infrastructure and projects. In August, the Government of Canada announced Ottawa’s portion of the Public Transit Infrastructure Fund (PTIF). For Orléans, I was pleased to see several million dollars dedicated to the future Phase 2 expansion of light-rail transit to the east end, $500,000 for the TransOrléans Pathway in Cumberland, and $650,000 for the future Cardinal Creek Park 18A. For Cardinal Creek, this investment will ensure adequate park access for local families, while the Trans-Orléans pathway will help give residents healthier options for transportation and active lifestyles. Additionally, I was delighted to announce, along with AOE Arts Council, $254,000 to fund their Canada 150 project, Neighbourhood Arts 150. This investment will fund artist-led works to occur in Ottawa’s 10 diverse neighbourhoods that aim to provide over 150,000 residents with multiple free opportunities for celebrating what it means to be Canadian during our country’s sesquicentennial year.

A hauntingly good party

More recently, I had the privilege to be present at the groundbreaking ceremony for the Combined Sewage Storage Tunnel, the largest item in the City’s Ottawa River Action Plan. This combined federal-provincial-municipal investment of $231 million will help clean and protect the Ottawa River and help ensure Orléans residents have access to cleaner and healthier recreation at Petrie Island.

$75 ticket $375 group (6)

I thank Orléans residents for their support and for the support of our other elected officials for their role in helping to realize these significant accomplishments that will improve the quality of life for our community.

MIFO a finalist at Premier’s Awards in Toronto City on track to garner $22M in surplus land sales SUBMITTED

BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

The sale of two pieces of surplus land will net the city $5.8 million this year, said Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson. Wilkinson, who’s on the board of the Ottawa Community Lands Development Corporation – the city’s realty arm – updated council on Sept. 28. The first piece of land was at 5731 Hazeldean Rd., which sold for $4.1 million. Another plot of land at 2500 St. Laurent Blvd. sold for $1.7 million. The latest numbers bring the total to $22 million for this term of council, Wilkinson said. Wilkinson said some of the surplus lands are from holdings of the former municipalities. “Nepean had a large land block, as did Kanata,”she said, adding there will likely be excess land to sell off for the next 10 to 15 years. The money from the sale of the lands goes into general revenue.

Mouvement d’implication francophone d’Orléans (MIFO) was a finalist of the 10th annual Premier’s Award for Excellence in the Arts at the event held on Oct. 5 at the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto. The awards program recognizes outstanding artists and arts organizations for their contributions to Ontario’s vibrant arts and culture sector. They were nominated in the category of the Arts Organization Award, and congratulated the winners, A Different Booklist. “Mouvement d’implication francophone d’Orléans (MIFO) has given so much to the community through their work. I’m delighted that their contributions to our vibrant cultural life were recognized with this nomination, and I know without any doubt that they will continue to have an impact in the future,” said Ottawa-Orléans MPP Marie-France Lalonde in a press release. MIFO was founded in 1979 and opened its doors as a cultural centre in 1984. Today, they provide programming across artistic disciplines, along with community activities and services for children and seniors. MIFO’s programs are known for shining a spotlight on Francophone

But Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury suggested that down the road, the monies could be put into an endowment fund to help bulk up the city’s social housing stock. Mayor Jim Watson thanked the team that sits on the organization's board for using their expertise to determine when the best time to sell would be. Wilkinson has a background in realty. “We kind of act like a developer,” Wilkinson said. Some of the things the city uses the money for: • Provision of parks and contribution to recreational facilities, • Protecting 17 hectares of natural environment area, • Supporting the construction of city infrastructure, • Facilitates the development of 1,800 new residential units, • Promoting transit-oriented development. The intent of the OCLDC is to sell city land in a way that’s aligned with community objectives.

Meeting the community’s artistic, cultural and educational needs, they are respected as a key local organization. Supporting artists and arts organizations is part of the government’s economic plan to build Ontario up and deliver on its number-one priority to grow the economy and create jobs. The four-part plan includes helping more people get and create the jobs of the future by expanding access to high-quality college and university education.

The plan is also helping working Ontarians achieve a more secure retirement. “Ontario’s art sector reflects the drive, talent and diversity of our province. I am honoured to recognize the outstanding winners and finalists of the 10th annual Premier’s Awards for their passion, dedication and commitment to excellence. Thank you for enriching our daily lives and inspiring us all,” said Premier Kathleen Wynne in a press release.

City releases draft report on new water billing system BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

JENNIFER MCINTOSH/METROLAND

The city is in the process of changing the rates it charges residents for water and stormwater fees, which has become a controversial issue in rural areas of the city. said, adding the problem with the first effort was that it was too conceptual. The sticking point for many of the city’s rural residents is being charged despite being on their own well and septic systems.

the consultations, with complaints about the proposal, asking for a more sophisticated system that took into account the different nature of their properties. “The good thing is most people recognized the need to pay for stormwater service,” Chernushenko said.

property, according to the city. The City of Mississauga bills each home, but Jasmin says the practice costs the city millions annually. “You’d have to go by roll numbers and land parcels,” Jasmin said. “And we don’t have full mapping for the rural areas.” Chernushenko said the city has to “walk before it can run,” and opted to start off with a simple system that would be open to review in the future. The new rate structure will be phased in over the next four years. Jasmin said very low volume users will see a potential increase of $13 per month. That would only apply to those customers who use less than a third of the average water consumed, she said. The city’s environment committee will hear the draft report on Oct. 18 and the public will have the opportunity to speak at the meeting. If council approves the rate changes, they would take effect in January 2018.

Changes to the way the city bills residents for drinking water, taking away sewage and stormwater won’t be a big drain on the average homeowner’s finances, says the city’s deputy treasurer Isabelle Jasmin. The city released its draft report on a new water rate structure on Oct. 3. For 85 per cent of residents, the new billing system will mean a $2 difference on their monthly bill, according to the city. The report is the second wave of numbers in an effort to deal with flagging revenues and increasing costs in providing water and sewer services in the city. The city’s environment committee chair Coun. David Chernushenko said more than 800 people provided input on an initial report released back in the spring. “We promised to take the feedback seriously and come up with a better report,” he

In response, staff created categories for apartments and townhouses that are urban and connected to the city’s water, urban apartments not connected, and rural apartments that are connected and not connected. In total there are six categories, including single-family and semi-detached homes, Jasmin said. Right now residents pay $100 per year for stormwater fees, under the new rate structure that would increase to $106. There would be discounts for urban and rural homes that are not connected. For example, a rural singlefamily home would pay $53 per year if they are not connected to the city’s water. An unconnected rural apartment would pay $27. Urban homes that are privately serviced would get a discount, but it would be 30 per cent off the total of a municipally serviced home, instead of 50 per cent. The complex system of rates is the fairest method, aside from assessing each

Moving the Findlay Oval was a team effort

t was time. There was a bite in the air. This was the day the Findlay Oval would be moved from the summer kitchen back into the house. It had been allowed to go out the night before after supper on Friday, so it would be well cooled off by the time it was moved. Being Saturday, the brothers were home from school, and it would take every hand to move the big stove back where it belonged. With any luck, the stove would be up and running in time for supper. Heaven forbid that Father didn’t have a full meal at the end of the day! Always, the stove was rolled in and out on logs, but Father had a better idea that year. He spent hours in the work shed building a platform on wheels and it was his intention to hoist the stove onto this trolley and slide it right into the kitchen. Of course, it would have to be lifted onto the trol-

MARY COOK Memories ley first. And I remembered how the brothers and Father struggled to get it onto the logs and then roll it into the summer kitchen. Father said it weighed more than two work horses put together. Everyone was in bad humour by the time it was all over. So the trolley, I hoped would work out just fine. The stove pipes had to be taken down first and it was my sister Audrey’s and my job to shake the soot out and make sure they were clean enough to attach back to the stove when it was back in the kitchen. I stayed well away from the

summer kitchen when the lifting started. I couldn’t bear to see the red faces and the veins standing out in their necks, as they struggled with the load. Well! That move was different from all others! Father could be heard swearing at Everett, who was yelling at Emerson, who was blaming young Earl. Someone, Father roared, had forgotten to empty the reservoir and as soon as the stove was tilted in the move, the water sloshed out and covered Father from his waist to the top of his work boots. To say he wasn’t happy was an understatement!

So there sat the stove. Two legs on the trolley and the other two on the summer kitchen floor, with the water pouring out like a rushing river. I stood in the doorway and it was like watching a Hop-a-long Cassidy Movie. For a few minutes Father stood and looked at the water running down his front and the reservoir door hanging open. Emerson, Everett and Earl stood looking at Father for further instructions. I was amazed at how much water the reservoir could hold. With the toe of his work boot, Father maneuvered the braided rug that was close by, over to the pool of water on the floor. Of course, that only spread the water further and did nothing to sop up what can come out of the reservoir. He sent Earl in the for the rag bag. “And don’t bring one rag. Bring the whole bag,” he hollered. In the meantime, he was asking who had the job of

emptying the water. Emerson pointed to Everett and Everett pointed in the general direction of Earl going out the door for the rag bag, shaking his head and saying “not me.” Earl brought in what used to be an old flour bag pillow slip, now filled with pieces of old underwear, sweaters, and anything else that could no longer be considered usable. Father grabbed it and without taking one thing out of it, used the entire full bag as a mop. Mother would not be pleased and I knew the rags would have to be washed, dried and restored in the bag for further use. Finally, as much water as possible was wiped up, the stove heaved onto the trolley and moved back into the house. The pipes were put on. It took several hours to put everything back in order, a new fire lit, and supper put on the stove to cook. Father was as cross as a

bear with a sore paw, the brothers were still accusing each other of failing to empty the reservoir and I was sitting in a corner of the kitchen pretending to read my newest book from the Renfrew Library. But I couldn’t help thinking of the night before when the whole house was getting ready for the big move and Mother, right in the middle of the chaos said, “I think Mary is old enough to help this year. She can empty the reservoir.” I was grateful Mother didn’t remember giving me the job and I reasoned owning up to it would just add more chaos to an already out-of-hand situation.

City councillor turns into ‘temporary’ superhero Rick Chiarelli’s new temporary tattoo design features councillor in unitard, cape BY MEGAN DELAIRE mdelaire@metroland.com

Look, up in the sky! It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s city councillor Rick Chiarelli, in temporary tattoo form! You can carry him in your wallet, stick him to your arm, and show him to your friends, and it’s all in the name of a little fun and a sober New Year’s Eve. Chiarelli – who has touted several temporary tattoo designs in his likeness over the years – recently released the newest incarnation of his custom tattoo. Designed by Hayley Nelson, a former employee in Chiarelli’s office, it shows the College Ward councillor’s face on the body of a cartoon superhero character, clad in a green and red unitard and a red cape while flying through the air, one fist extended à la Superman. The notion of handing out temporary tattoos at ward events occurred when Chiarelli’s office noticed there were always several kids at community

picnics and fun days who missed out on having their faces painted. Tattoos, Chiarelli decided, would be a fair consolation prize. “Giving them tattoos makes them almost as happy as if they got their face painted,” he said. STAFF INITIATIVE

But Chiarelli said it was his staff who really took the initiative when, several years ago – Chiarelli is not sure how many – an intern in his office designed temporary tattoos featuring Chiarelli’s face as a joke. “The first ones were pretty hokey,” he said, “Well … they all are.” While still showing his likeness – more or less – the new superhero tattoos also double as promotional material for Chiarelli’s annual alcohol-free New Year’s Eve party at Ben Franklin Place. “We looked at something we could do for face painting on New Year’s Eve, and also to promote (the event),” Chiarelli said “So Hayley in our office

designed this one, because this year’s New Year’s Eve has the theme Comic Strips and Cartoon Bits.” Because he’s already decided superheroes will be the focus of next year’s party, Chiarelli said the tattoos will still be relevant at the end of 2017. Chiarelli, whose office has handed out more than 2,000 temporary tattoos – said he pays for the tattoos out of pocket. “No taxpayers’ money was harmed in the making of these tattoos,” he said. The College Ward councillor is not the only Ottawa politician to have invested in novel promotional materials. This year, drawing from his office budget, Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Michael Qaqish handed out Frisbees bearing his name to constituents in his ward. “We handed them out at our community barbecue,” Qaqish said. “I didn’t put my face on them, though. I didn’t want to scare the kids like Rick did.” And Chiarelli said he owns proof that Bob Chiarelli – his cousin, and Ottawa West-Nepean MPP – once immortalized his own mug on a piece of promotional swag. “Bob Chiarelli had cartoon fridge magnets of himself as a hockey player,” he said. “It’s on my fridge.”
