‘We’re going to have deaths’ on River Road: residents Speeding prompts ‘Take Back River Road’ campaign, petition Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Alarmed by rising traffic volumes, including trucks, speeding and motorists tailgating and passing stopped school buses, River Road residents are petitioning to bring safety back to their street. “The accidents are going to increase. Soon we’re

going to have deaths,” said Cedardale resident Fred Newman, who is helping spearhead the Take Back River Road campaign and petition. With the opening last year of Vimy Memorial Bridge, traffic problems have escalated. See PETITION, page 9

Ottawa guns and gangs officers are investigating the city’s 28th shooting, which happened in the Herongate area in the early morning hours of Oct. 3. No one initially reported the shooting, and police didn’t launch their investigation until 7 a.m. after someone found “a projectile” in an apartment building in the 1400 block of Heron Road. “A canvas resulted in witnesses confirming a sound of a gunshot heard at approximately 3 a.m.,” the police guns and gangs unit said in a statement. No one was injured in the incident and no suspects have been identified. The shooting does not mean there has been an upswing in gang activity in the area, said Staff Sgt. Kenny

R0013457550-0917

Ottawa South News - Thursday, October 8, 2015

Bryden, outgoing head of the gangs and DART unit. But he acknowledged it is a challenging case to resolve since no witnesses to the shooting have come forward. “Without any assistance, unless the evidence we need is right there in front of us, (it) does prove to be very difficult to investigate,” Bryden said. He declined to confirm who found the projectile, whether it is in fact a spent bullet or where in the building it was recovered due to the ongoing nature of the investigation. He could not confirm the exact address where the shooting took place. Anyone with information on the shooting is asked to call the Ottawa police guns and gangs unit at 613236-1222, ext. 5050, or provide anonymous tips to Crime Stoppers by calling 613-222-8477.

If the rate was tied to inflation, it would rise by 84.49 per cent to $138.37 per head and bed.

To help municipalities cope with financial pressures, the province should boost the mandated amount institutions pay to cities in lieu of property taxes, says Gloucester-South Nepean’s councillor. Michael Qaqish said with the city’s 2015 budget deficit forecasted to come in at $41 million, it’s time the province update the annual “heads and beds” levy requiring colleges, universities, hospitals and correctional institutions to pay up to a maximum of $75 per student, hospital bed and prisoner. The levy hasn’t changed since 1987 and needs to reflect the city services these institutions benefit from, Qaqish said.

“The city provides a lot of services and the cost of delivering those services never goes down.” Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Michael Qaqish

That would have generated $11.7 million for city coffers this year, instead of $6.4 million. “The city provides a lot of services and the cost of delivering those services never goes down,” Qaqish said. In an organization the size of the City of Ottawa, council is pushing city managers to find savings and cost efficiencies in their departmen-

tal budgets. While council and staff are taking steps to scale back the deficit, including dipping into city reserves, Qaqish said an updated levy would provide much-needed dollars. “One of my priorities is to make sure that we’re doing everything that we can at the city to look after our tax dollars, especially at a time with our financial challenges and deficit,” said Qaqish, who took on the role of advocating for the change because fiscal prudence remains one of his top priorities. He pointed to one his first acts in office in which he returned the councillor’s annual car allowance to the city, as an example. “The point of this is not to go after schools or universities or hospitals,” he said. “The point is to raise again one more issue where the provincial government has a reason to allocate more of a larger piece of the pie to municipalities.”

Saying goodbye to a friend The city lost an icon on Oct. 1. Max Keeping was a reporter, a news anchor and he came into thousands of homes every weeknight across Ottawa and eastern Ontario on CJOH, later CTV Ottawa. But he was more than that. He could have lived a 9-to-5 life and headed home after the cameras shut down at the end of each newscast. But he was more than willing to do much more. Keeping knew he was considered a friend to his viewers. He could have capitalized on that by appearing in commercial advertisements but he made the choice to put full his effort into helping those less fortunate. Keeping backed charities across the region â&#x20AC;&#x201C; notably CHEO â&#x20AC;&#x201C; encouraging viewers to help too, all in that familiar, calm tone of voice. Who could fail to respond when a friend asked for help? So Keeping was iconic. But he was more because he was not just a celebrity seeking more fame and more notoriety. He saw that kind of opportunity

existed but made a conscious decision to take a pass because kids, seniors and so many others might benefit from his connection with TV viewers. An example that touched our reporting staff: one cold winterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s night in 2003, Keeping drove straight from his newscast to the old bingo hall on Merivale Road, arriving minutes after 7 p.m. simply because heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been asked to help out. He arrived to call out the final bingo numbers as one lucky player won a new car. It was all for charity of course. And the connection this city felt with Keeping was on display for all. As he walked in the room and gave his familiar wave, he received a standing ovation from the packed house. He was good for the city and the city knew it. He lived life to the max. The greatest tribute anyone can pay to Keepingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lifelong support of charities is to make sure the efforts continue. If you were inspired by Keeping and his mantra: do something to make a difference in anotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life. Max, you will be missed.

Toronto will just have to do

his is hard. But we might as well own up to it. A number of us in Ottawa â&#x20AC;&#x201D; probably quite a large number â&#x20AC;&#x201D; are cheering for a Toronto sports team. No, of course itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the Argonauts. And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s certainly not the Maple Leafs, except for a few who were cursed from birth with that affliction. No, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the Blue Jays, who are in the playoffs for the first time in 22 years, capturing the imagination of long-suffering local baseball fans. All the indicators are present: In a recent months Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been at Ottawa dinner parties where people were checking the score between courses. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been at cottages where people with smart phones prowled the decks and docks hoping for a signal

And then we can revert to our traditional behaviour pattern of cheering for Ottawa teams, living and dying with the Senators, and letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not forget the new pattern of living and dying with the RedBlacks. Meanwhile, the baseball is exciting, the offence and the defence, the Jays are an interesting team to watch and we can rationalize cheering for

And it could be an added incentive that the Blue Jaysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; catcher, Russell Martin, spent part of his boyhood in Chelsea. Much more should be made of this.

No one gets hurt, after all. There is certainly precedent for this. In fact, it is all around us in the federal election.

Petition campaign calls for reduced speed limits Newman worries for his two young grandchildren, who must catch their school bus in front of Newman’s River Road home. “My wife has had a few close calls, just cars coming close to them and scaring them,” he said. He and his neighbours recently began circulating a petition calling on the city to reduce the speed limit to 60 kilometres an hour between Cedardale and Gloucester Glen and 50 km/hr for the rest, among other measures. The limit along that stretch changes from 60 to 70 to 80. They have also set up a Facebook page as part of their campaign at facebook.com/TakeBackRiverRoad. Newman’s son-in-law, Erik Waddell, said the city is responsible for mitigating traffic problems since motorists are not crossing the bridge and heading east on Earl Armstrong Road and turning down Limebank Road as expected. Instead, they’re turning onto River Road, which is considered a shortcut. With the traffic influx, residents said they are forced to contend with speeders travelling at upwards of 90 km/hr, raising safety concerns and making it challenging for residents to get out of and into their driveways. With students back in school, drivers are frequently ignoring stopped school buses. “The number of times the bus starts to slow down and people start to see that and they just hit the accelerator and roar right by as quick as they can,” said Waddell, a Riverside South resident. Waddell, Newman’s son-inlaw and father to Spencer and Abigail who catch the bus outside Newman’s home, said “sometimes they even go by when the (bus stop) sign is up.” Their petition also calls for prohibiting heavy vehicles, reducing the left-turning lanes from two to one at the east of the bridge to restrict the flow onto River Road, as well as shortening the left-turning bridge signal and the right turn from Limebank onto the north end of River Road. They also want to see traffic-calming measures, such as speed bumps, installed on Balmoral Drive, where families are concerned by an increase in cut-through speeders. While Newman said he’d like to see a consistent speed limit on River Road, such as 50 km/hr, GloucesterSouthgate Coun. Diane Deans, whose ward includes Cedardale, said city traffic engineers would not support making it that low. “The reason they would tell you that is that roads are built to accom-

modate a certain speed of traffic,” she said. A limit change would require shorter amber traffic-light times in that area, which means motorists would be slamming on their brakes, causing more rear-end collisions. “Falsely reducing a speed doesn’t get people to drive slower unless there’s constant enforcement, but it does lead to a higher number of accidents,” Deans said. The city presented residents with the option of dropping the limit where it is 70 to 60 and from 80 to 70. Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Michael Qaqish, whose ward includes the River Road communities of Honey Gables and Gloucester Glen as well as Riverside South and Barrhaven, echoed Deans, said he’s waiting to hear back from them. “One thing that our staff are concerned about is bringing it down to 50 or 60 and we see absolutely no compliance, and that’s a dangerous thing,” he said. “We don’t want a number that’s pulled out of thin air. “We want the science and traffic numbers to ensure that it makes sense,” he said, adding that motorists wouldn’t abide by 50, which makes enforcement an issue. But Bron Vasic, president of the Honey Gable Development Association and a supporter of the Take Back River Road campaign, said the call for a reduced speed limit is about ensuring safety for those using the road, including local residents. “Yes, it’s an arterial road, but we think people just need to be educated on the fact that it’s not the thoroughfare that they think it is,” Vasic said. “I think that a lower speed limit would entice the people to say, ‘Oh, OK, I’ll go where I can drive faster, and it’s two lanes and I don’t need to worry about being behind somebody who needs to turn off. “Specifically, Earl Armstrong and Limebank were built for that, built for the trucks, built for the commercial vehicles, built for that speed limit.” Newman said he doesn’t have to look at city traffic figures to know that traffic on River Road is at an alltime high. The number of vehicles on River Road has spiked from 8,500 on average every day before the bridge’s opening to 13,200 this spring – within the range of what staff had anticipated. But it was revealed at a community meeting on the issue in June that while staff had anticipated about 70 per cent of the rush-hour traffic would use Earl Armstrong to get to Limebank, only about 50 per cent are using it, with the rest heading down

Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Michael Qaqish has expressed concern that motorists would not comply with speed limits if they were lowered too much along River Road. River Road. Qaqish and Deans said a number of measures have been implemented along River Road, including flashing speed signs and changes to the traffic light pattern on the east end of the bridge. The timing of the light has been changed to give straight-through morning traffic the priority and vehicles turning left onto River Road are forced to wait longer. “So, it’s actually more advantageous now to go straight through and take Limebank from a time perspective,” Deans said. “And the duration of the left-turn arrow was decreased from 15 seconds to 10 seconds, so we’re letting fewer and fewer people through each cycle.

“So it’s quicker for them to keep going on Earl Armstrong to Limebank Road.” That also gives residents in Honey Gables and Gloucester Glen “a bit of a gap time” so they can get out of their driveways and onto River Road in the morning, said Qaqish. The installation of ‘local traffic only’ signs at the bridge intersection, which would apply to rush hour times, are also under review, Deans said. At the June meeting, city traffic staff promised to look at the impact to traffic on Prince Wales Drive if one of two turn lanes onto River Road were permanently shuttered. Recent changes have also included the addition of ‘I Stop, You Stop’ signs on River Road to remind motor-

ists to yield to stopped school buses as they pick up and drop off students. Deans also said OC Transpo buses that are empty of fares have since been directed to use Limebank Road rather than River Road. As well, shoulders along River Road have been graded for cyclists. At the north end of River Road, where it connects with Limebank Road, staff have been requested to review restricting the right-hand turn on the red light, she said. However, Qaqish said a traffic signal at River and Leitrim roads, which has seen more traffic with the bridge opening, won’t be installed in the short term. “We’re still a few years away from that in terms of the traffic count,” he said. “We have to meet the criteria before we install something there and we’re not there yet.” Newman is so worried he is paying for four yellow and black signs to alert motorists that the section outside his home and that of his nearby neighbours is a school bus pick-up route. “People on this street are concerned enough that they’re willing to pay out of their own pocket and put up signs on their own property to help affect traffic,” said Waddell.

hat a long election campaign. But we’re finally in the home stretch. If you’re like me you’ve been watching daily micro-polling like a baseball fan watches sports stats or an investment adviser watches stocks. So closely do I follow issues and polls that I’m the constituent that candidates love to hate. Not to mention I work from home. The doorbell rings, a rap at the door and I bolt up the stairs from my home office, excited to see another human face. I’m giddy before I even open the door. Then I realise it’s a candidate! I hug him or her, (OK, I resist the urge to hug) and then hammer the candidate with seemingly irrelevant questions for an urban, young-ish constituent. “What are your thoughts on farmer subsidies as they pertain to food security? Are seniors OK? What’s going on with international trade with China?” Yes, I like to put them on the spot. Or so I thought, until one particular day when, among the 100 houses in my neighbourhood, an unfortunate candidate likely found over-enthusiastic me, followed by an even more enthusiastic work-from-home neighbour willing to answer the door. We may have misrepresented the ’hood. After the candidate’s visit, I texted my equally intellectual, under-socialized neighbour: “Did the candidate come? What did you ask?” His response made me realize my own shortcomings: “We talked about ISIS, refugees, daycare, income splitting, childcare, science, security, political divisiveness.” I wondered if the candidate took him for a crazy guy that works in his basement and ponders world affairs, or an educated and well-groomed voter. “If the only doors that got answered in our neighborhood today were mine and yours, the candidates may wish they’d never come,” I wrote. But maybe candidates love us for being engaged, (and desperately in need of human

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse contact), as much as their campaign managers hate us for keeping them on the doorstep for an exorbitant amount of time. This election campaign, I’ve had the benefit of doing something unique – interviewing, albeit by phone, candidates across a wide variety of ridings in Atlantic Canada and the Prairies, of all political stripes. Regardless of what you think of campaigns or the party platforms, you’ve got to give it to the candidates. Many have halted their businesses, given up jobs or taken leave without pay, all in the name of democracy. You could be cynical and suggest that they’re only in it to win it, but most of them won’t win and many don’t even have a chance, and a few of them know it. Yet they’re out their door knocking, riding buses in the rain, attending community events, listening to the concerns of voters. If all elected individuals could be as active as MPs as they are during campaigns, Canadians may actually start to feel like they have a voice in political affairs. I used to think all MPs were cut from a certain cloth. But it’s not true. People have many motivations for getting into politics – and in the beginning, for rookie candidates – it’s often to really serve the public in some way. There are always long-term politicians that lose the silver lining, become overly partisan and egotistical, but when you dig deep, most individuals are motivated by something that transcends their own egos. They are motivated to make a difference. Candidates come from all backgrounds. I’ve interviewed lawyers, activists and business people, which we seem to think make up the pack. But

there is more diversity among candidates than you think. One candidate I spoke to is an oncologist. Another one played in a symphony for half a decade. There are farmers and teachers, international aid workers, and one guy who spent 80 days in jail for stealing a ballot box and throwing it into the harbour. There are failed politicians, those in remission from cancer, individuals who admit to living below the poverty line because of lack of jobs in a particular area. And they’re all out there, campaigning selflessly, listening to people, debating the issues, hoping they can have the honour of sitting in the House of Commons as our representatives. When I see the quality of candidates across the country, it makes me question our obsession with the party leaders. The leaders are the top salespeople for their teams, for sure. But at the end of the day, you have to be comfortable that the person in your local riding will go to bat for you. It’s one of the reasons I always have such a hard time deciding for whom to vote. It certainly helps when the candidate comes to the door. This is democracy, people power, at its best. In fairness to the candidates, they can’t make it to every door, although judging by their running shoes, they try. But you can get to the only poll that matters. If you need a ride, call a candidate. They’ll get you there. Advance polls are Thanksgiving weekend. Election day is Monday, Oct. 19. Your candidates may have lost their jobs to take part in democracy. All you have to do is take a few minutes to tick a box. So grab a Timmies and go do it!

Greenboro robbery suspect turns himself in to police Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Two months after investigators say a then 17-year-old boy was robbed and stabbed in a gas station parking lot in Greenboro, an 18-year-old male suspect turned himself in at the request of police. Officers were called to the parking lot of the Esso gas station at Hunt Club Road and Lorry Greenberg Drive on Aug. 10 around 11:30 p.m. after the younger teen reported being stabbed more than once in his left shoulder. He suffered serious, but non-life-threatening injuries, and was transported to hospital. During the investigation, police issued a news release revealing that before officers had arrived on scene, two unidentified suspects were believed to have fled in an SUV of unknown make, model, colour or direction of travel. It’s now believed that just

one suspect was involved and that he and the victim were known to each other. “It wasn’t random,” said Staff Sgt. Michael Haarbosch, head of the police robbery unit.

“We contacted him and arrangements were made for him to (come) to the station and turn himself in.” Staff Sgt. Michael Haarbosch, Ottawa police robbery unit

Robbery may not have been the only motive for the attack. “There may have been some other factors in play as well,” Haarbosch said, declining to reveal more. “As far as what was sto-

len … there was a demand made for personal items that the victim had on him, but I don’t think they were given up. “So I don’t think he got away with anything,” said Haarbosch, adding that police still consider it a robbery because a demand was made for items. Through the investigation, police were able to identify the suspect. “We contacted him and arrangements were made for him to (come) to the station and turn himself in,” said Haarbosch. The suspect, who is known to police, appeared in court on Oct. 2 to face several charges, including robbery, aggravated assault, assault with a weapon and possession of a weapon. Anyone with information on the case is asked to call the Ottawa police robbery unit at 613-236-1222, ext. 5116, or call in anonymous tips to Crime Stoppers at 613-222-8477.

Work continues on the Walkley Road bridge that spans the Transitway. This has been a lengthy project and I appreciate your patience as work continues until the end of November. The following tasks remain: (i) bridge jacking operation for bearing replacement (west side only), (ii) installation of the new link slab between each transit tower and the bridge platform, (iii) installation of the new concrete column under each new link slab and (iv) replacement of the asphalt and repair of concrete deck on one lane of each direction on Walkley Road. One-Lane restrictions on Walkley Road are expected to continue for the next 7 weeks.

Two 16-Storey Towers Planned

Ottawa Police Activities in October During the month of October, the Ottawa Police Service will proactively target two main issues: distracted driving and stop sign violations. Between 2009 and 2013, there were 23,283 collisions resulting in 6,463 injuries and 18 fatalities as a result of distracted driving in Ottawa, while during the same period, there were 3,283 collisions resulting in 1,034 injuries and eight fatalities due to stop sign violations. Drivers have a responsibility to keep their eyes on the road and if you need to take a telephone call, please pull over. Stop signs are also predominantly used in residential communities. Failing to come to a full and complete stop places pedestrians, cyclists, other drivers and yourself at risk for injury. Please obey all stop signs in our community. Snow Operators Being Trained To prepare for winter operations, the City of Ottawa has begun driver training for the operation of snow-clearing equipment. Winter driver training starts in the classroom with instruction on roadway safety, equipment orientation, operating principles and operation of the vehicle attachments. Trainees then move to supervised closed-course practice at City facilities and parking lots. The sessions conclude with on-street practical training with an instructor supervising the trainees at all times. Some limited on-road sidewalk plow training will also be done in the area of 911 Industrial Road. All winter operations vehicles used for training will display driver training signs on the rear and both sides of the vehicle. R0013489494-1008

NEW

R0012460098

A site plan application to construct two 16-storey residential buildings, consisting of 125 units per building on Anand Private, one block west of Bank Street has been received by the City’s Planning Department. Currently, the site consists of a 5-storey hotel along Walkley Road and a 10-storey condo tower to the immediate south. The two new towers would be built directly to the south of the 10-storey tower. Underground parking for 219 vehicles is proposed for the new towers. A multi-use pathway runs along the western side of the current buildings which is proposed to be extended further south to allow direct pedestrian and cycling connections to Walkley Road and to the transit station. If you have any questions or comments about this proposed development, please contact me to discuss.

The University of Ottawa has renamed a building to pay tribute to former president Marcel Hamelin. The Arts Building was officially renamed Hamelin Hall at a ceremony on Sept. 29. “It is my privilege to be naming this hall in honour of former University of Ottawa president Marcel Hamelin,” current uOttawa president Allan Rock said in a press release. “In addition to his passionate defence of linguistic duality, he worked tirelessly to promote exchanges between international universities, attract brilliant students and researchers from every continent, and transform the University of Ottawa into one of the world’s top post-secondary institutions.” The building itself holds special

meaning for Hamelin as he oversaw its opening as president in 1996. Hamelin first joined the university as a history professor in 1966 before he went on to become the director of the history department. He then rose to become the vice-dean of the graduate school, the dean of the faculty of arts and eventually president and vice-chancellor of the entire school. “No other university in the country can claim to be as truly Canadian as ours, one that so faithfully reflects the linguistic, cultural and religious diversity of our country,” Hamelin said. During his time at the school, Hamelin oversaw the development of a strategic plan, a campus development plan, as well as a $200 million construction program. He also helped start a number of new programs at the school, and many successful fundraising campaigns.

Meet the Ottawa South Progressive Canadian candidate: Al Gullon Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Al Gullon is looking to put the ‘progressive’ back into conservative politics. The longtime Hunt Club resident is the latest candidate to officially announce his intentions to vie for votes in the Ottawa South federal riding. Gullon, 74, said his party is an alternative choice to what he said is the ‘new Conservative Party.’ “We are following the Progressive Conservative policy book,” he said. “I would like to underline that we are not a new party. We are people, who for the most part, are members – loyal members – of the PCPC (Progressive Conservative Party of Canada).” Gullon, who is originally from Truro, N.S., and his wife have two grown children and two grandchildren. The couple has lived in south Ottawa since about 1970 after moving here from North Bay, Gullon’s last

posting before he retired from the Royal Canadian Air Force as a transport officer in 1970. He went on to complete an engineering degree at Carleton University in 1972. He also has a science degree from Mount Allison University in New Brunswick. He later went to work for Environment Canada and served as head of the Motor Vehicle Emission Control Department. “After I took the golden handshake” from Environment Canada in 1996, Gullon said he “decided to keep the music going and became an automotive journalist.” He now is a safety and environment consultant. Q: Why are you running? “To preserve the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada until such time as we get the name back,” he said, adding this is important “because the public has been very well served by the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada, if you’ve studied the

history to the extent I have. “We have always followed what we said on the hustings, the campaign train, and, as I say it, ‘We talk the walk and then walk the talk’ after elected,” said Gullon. Q: Detail your past political and civic experience or activism at any level of government or political party. Gullon has campaigned before, first as a supporter of former Ottawa South Progressive Canadian candidate Brad Thomson during the 2004 and 2006 federal elections. He then became the riding’s Progressive Canadian candidate during the 2008 and 2011 elections. Gullon is currently national secretary for the Progressive Canadian Party of Canada, and, closer to home, is a member of the Hunt Club Community Organization. Q: What is the biggest federal issue facing Ottawa South

and how has it been handled to date? How would you approach it? “I am personally not convinced, after considerable thought, that anyone voting in a federal election should be concerned about local issues,” said Gullon. “In fact, I summarize that by saying ‘The only time you can vote for yourself is in a municipal election. In a provincial election, you have to vote for your children. In a federal election, you have to vote for your grandchildren.’” Gullon said the economics of the country is a federal responsibility, “and this in many cases means providing federal money for roads, bridges and transport.” Health care needs to be a federal jurisdiction because so much time is spent by “one level passing the buck to the other level,” Gullon said. “So what we do there is do away with all provincial responsibility.

“The provincial deputy minister reports to the deputy minister of Health Canada. Bingo. All of the employees provincially become federal with full pension rights. “You don’t need the provincial government in health care,” he said.

Q: Nationally, what do you view as the biggest issues facing Canada, and how do you plan to address them? “As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, transport is necessary to move products from where they are created,” Gullon said. “And this means tourism. For instance, making sure tourists can get to the national parks efficiently and safely, making sure that the commute doesn’t take up half the day, by giving support to LRT.” The federal government must do more to support the military and look after veterans, who he said are “a sacred obligation.” “Health care, transport, veterans and environment – those are things that must be looked after federally, and looked after well.”

Ottawa Little Theatre starts work to spruce up façade Alex Robinson

alex.robinson@metroland.com

The Ottawa Little Theatre is set to get a facelift this fall. Construction on the exterior of the building is scheduled to begin in early October as soon as the theatre selects a contractor. “It’s essential to keep the building sound and functional,” said Lynn McGuigan, the theatre’s executive director. “The outer shell is essential to keep the building and everything inside it protected.” Two years ago, the theatre embarked on a “Renew the Building” campaign to raise funds to renovate its home in four phases. The first stage of the project was completed two years ago and involved replacing all of the theatre’s out-ofdate sound and lighting equipment. The second and third phases are about to begin and include replacing the roof and doing

some work on the building’s façade. The theatre will also be replacing its windows which have been part of the building since the theatre opened 43 years ago. Many of the windows are no longer sealed properly and a lot of the siding is corroded, McGuigan said. These middle phases were vital to making sure the building’s outer shell is intact. The theatre has suffered a number of bad leaks in recent years as the roof has only been redone once in its history. McGuigan said she expects the work on the outside of the building will be finished by the end of November. The final phase, which is scheduled to start in 2017, will see work done on the inside of the building, where all the chairs will be replaced in the auditorium to make the space more accessible. People in wheelchairs currently have to sit up against the wall, but the new layout will

provide more options. “That whole part of the plan is about accessibility,” McGuigan said. “It will ensure that we can handle more wheelchairs. It will be more accessible to walkers too and it will be more pleasant for our audience as old chairs will be replaced with new ones.” The last phase will also include renovating two kitchens in the theatre. The whole project will cost $975,000 and the theatre has raised $680,000 so far. The theatre received a recently announced $159,000 infrastructure grant from the federal government for phase four. The fundraising campaign also received $150,000 towareds the project from the Ontario Trillium Foundation. Programming will continue as normal at the theatre, which is set to stage Flare Path by Terence Rattigan, starting on Oct. 27.

Metroland Media welcomes new intern James Kerr

james.kerr@metroland.com

I started on my long, intricate journey to become a journalist on Wednesday, Sept. 23. However this isn’t where my story starts. I was born in Halifax, and have since lived in British Columbia and England as I’m part of a military family. Upon moving to Ontario I was enrolled in Sir Robert Borden High School, which I currently attend. The school subjects I enjoy most include English, music, civics and especially history. I have had no formal writing or reporting experience, however, I do enjoy writing amateur book and film reviews as well as short fiction in my spare time or for school. Ever since I was enrolled in middle school and discovered my passion for writing, I have always been interested in the field of journalism. I follow and keep up to date on issues of

all sizes, from small community matters to massive global events. While I am interested in nearly every type of journalism, subjects such as politics, art, and social justice issues intrigue me the most. On the other hand, I have little to no interest in subjects such as sports and economics. Despite these preferences, I am still willing to cover most stories as I strive to gain as much experience as possible. I learned about Metroland Media through the co-operative education program at my school whilst searching for journalism placements. I aspire to be a writer or journalist of some kind in the future and I hope to get a better understanding of what journalism and professional writing are like and what career paths involve them. If you have any story ideas about Ottawa South, my email address is james.kerr@metroland.com.

From cutting library spending and vehicle lifecycle renewal costs to doling out more cash for roads and pathways, rural south Ottawa residents came armed with plenty of suggestions on how the city should spend and save taxpayer dollars next year. The city has $3.1 billion to work with in 2016, some of it discretionary, and 18 residents living in Manotick, Greely and across the river in Stonebridge aired their concerns and suggestions during a public budget consultation meeting at the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority building in Manotick. Library spending, arbitration and compensation costs,

Greely resident Mark van der Pas provides suggestions on how the city should prioritize its spending during a public budget consultation meeting at the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority building in Manotick on Sept. 30. public works, roads, pathways, development charges and the gas tax were among hot topics raised.

With three months left in the year, the city is forecasting a $41-million deficit. “When we received a status

report that said that we were facing a $41-million forecasted deficit, we implemented a hiring freeze at that moment,”

said Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt. “So from that point to the end of the year there’s no new hires at the city.” Staffing numbers have also been scaled back through attrition by 50 to 60 positions every year within the past three budgets. “We’re just changing how we do certain things,” said Moffat, who was joined at the meeting by Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Michael Qaqish and Osgoode Coun. George Darouze, as well as deputy city treasurer Isabelle Jasmin. Snow removal is the largest expense contributing to the city’s deficit. The city employs full-time winter maintenance staff to clear roads, which means they get paid whether it’s snowing or not, Moffatt said, adding that winter maintenance is the city’s “biggest burden.” He pointed to the example of the city spending $11 million, including $8 million on snow removal, in winter maintenance costs between Christmas and New Year’s, one year.

“So it’s a huge pressure,” he said, noting the city is currently reviewing the winter maintenance program. “So I think the question is, is that something we can do by contract?” Klaus Beltzner, president of the Manotick Village Community Association, wanted to know how the city can save on vehicle lifecycle renewal costs. The purchase of new city vehicles is expected to cost the city a projected $29 million next year. “Are we getting the best bang for our buck when it comes to these vehicles?” Moffatt said. The councillors also heard the reconstruction of rural arterial roads, such as Mitch Owens Road which has again fallen into disrepair, needs to be a priority. “Will there be something in the budget for the rural areas for the rural arterial roads, to rebuild them to current standards?” Beltzner asked.

NOTICE OF PASSING OF A ZONING BY-LAW BY THE CITY OF OTTAWA TAKE NOTICE that the Council of the City of O awa passed By-law Number 2015-293 on September 23, 2015, under Sec on 34 of The PLANNING ACT.

ERIN MCCRACKEN/METROLAND

Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt, left, and Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Michael Qaqish respond to questions about the city’s budget at the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority in Manotick on Sept. 30. It was one of eight public consultation meetings being held around the city to seek public feedback on how the city should spend taxpayer dollars.

Rural roads remain ‘a priority’: councillor Continued from page 22

Moffat said some roads are micro-resurfaced, which buys the city seven to 10 years, whereas other roads are reconstructed for millions of dollars. “That is a priority, there’s no question. We’re increasing our contribution to capital that’s specifically about roads,” Moffat said, adding that River Road will receive attention in the next three to five years. Bill Tupper, former Rideau township mayor, lives on a secondary road in Manotick, which is well-maintained, but he complained the arterial roads are deteriorating faster than the city can keep up with. Snake Island Road is an embarrassment, he said. “If you run a vehicle on that road very long you’re going to be replacing the suspension left, right and centre,” he said. The answer may be in a special mill-rate program to help pay for and expedite repairs to arterial roads. “For me, I can’t go anywhere without being on an arterial road,” Tupper said. Several roads, including Roger Stevens and Rideau Valley Drive North and South, are priorities in the next couple of years, said Moffatt. But the idea of imposing a special level has already been considered and nixed by a previ-

ous council. “It is challenging, right, because you’d have to go to the residents and say we’re going to charge you a five-per-cent tax increase, even though we’re going to spend it here, here and here,” he said. “It’s still a tough sell.” One Manotick couple at the meeting, who declined to provide their names, said they’d be willing to pay extra if it meant the arterial roads “were looked after properly.” Likewise, Kristine Norenius of Greely expressed her hope that pathways will be a budget priority. “In the rural areas it’s a nightmare to take the car to work to go into the city, but it’s also terrifying to even try to bicycle from Greely into the city, or within Greely or from Greely to Manotick or Metcalfe or Osgoode,” she said. Multi-use pathways in the Manotick area will be undergoing some work, Darouze said, but added that it’s important to be mindful of the sheer size of Ottawa and the limited $3.1 billion the city has to work with. “Osgoode Ward has 650 kilometres of trail,” he said. “I would love that the city would have all the money to do reconstruction and build all the pathways, but we also have to be realistic.” The city’s 2016 draft budget is expected to go before council for consideration in December.

Ottawa South News - Thursday, October 8, 2015

A Purolator driver likely got the surprise of his life after his vehicle was tracked by Canadian military aircraft overhead and stopped by OPP, Industry Canada and Ottawa police hunting for an active distress signal coming from the courier van. An air search was launched after the Joint Rescue Co-ordination Centre at 8 Wing Trenton detected an emergency locator transmitter signal the morning of Oct. 2. A Montreal search-andrescue aircraft traced the signal to the Pierre Elliot Trudeau International Airport in Montreal, said Capt. Jeffrey Noel, a Canadian Armed Forces spokesman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;However, neither the (search-and-rescue) aircraft or a NAV Canada technician on the field were able to home the signal to any specific location,â&#x20AC;? he said in an email. Emergency locator transmitter devices can be manually or automatically activated, allowing emergency personnel to locate boats, aircraft and people in distress. OPP spokesman Const. John Armit said the signal was suppressed while inside a warehouse. Once the Purolator vehicle was on the move, the beacon grew stronger along the Montreal-Ottawa corridor, Noel said, adding that he could only speculate that the vehicle was en route from Montreal to Ottawa at the time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At this point, a 424 Transport and Rescue CC-130H Hercules aircraft and a CH-146 Griffon helicopter from 8 Wing Trenton were tasked to investigate,â&#x20AC;? he said. They were able to pinpoint that the signal was coming from a Purolator courier vehicle travelling along Highway 417. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when OPP and Industry Canada were called in around 9:30 a.m. to provide ground sup-

port. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was in the core of Ottawa that our officers were originally directed to,â&#x20AC;? said Armit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As you can imagine, with a Purolator vehicle, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dynamic and all over the place.â&#x20AC;? OPP and Industry Canada, with support from Ottawa police, eventually pulled over the courier at the MacEwen gas station on Albion at Mitch Owens roads in south Ottawa, east of Manotick Station and south of the Rideau Carleton Raceway. Once stopped, Industry Canada personnel located and deactivated the device inside the courier. Noel did not know why the transponder device was in the vehicle, but media reports indicated it was being taken for repairs. The operation, including the nearby landing of a military search-and-rescue helicopter, captured the attention of many passersby. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is unusual for the Ottawa area, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not unusual for the OPP assisting the Joint (Rescue) Centre, because you can have a plane that may go down and then weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll work with them to co-ordinate where the event is,â&#x20AC;? said Armit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some people have these and they go up north hunting, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had it in the past where (a transponder has) accidentally gone off and (rescue centre personnel) deploy the resources.â&#x20AC;? In an email, Purolator Canada spokeswoman Karen White-Boswell, citing customer confidentiality and the ongoing nature of the investigation, declined to reveal where the transponder was being shipped, or if it had been accidentally activated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We do not know the details or the intentions of the shipper or receiver nor would we divulge the confidential details of a customerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shipment,â&#x20AC;? White-Boswell said in an email when asked if the transponder was being shipped for repairs when the vehicle was stopped.

Figure your way out of Ottawa’s newest escape room Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

You and your team have tracked a terrorist with a penchant for explosives to an abandoned bunker. Your informant leads you into the dimly lit and sparsely furnished space, where a black light glows eerily overhead. He slips behind you and slams and locks the door, altering the course of your mission. You have exactly 60 minutes to escape the Boom Room, the first themed escape room launched Oct. 2 by the directors and owners of Room Escape Ottawa, located on Bank Street in south Ottawa. “Basically we’re making a movie here, but one that you can be in and one that you can interact with and hopefully win and hopefully solve,” said Qi Hu, a Nepean resident who co-owns the business with Ramsay Jackson, of Riverside Park, and Greenboro resident and marketing expert Brian Seto. Teams of two to eight people must follow a series of clues and solve puzzles to gain entry to a second room, and eventually a third before making their way to freedom. Notes, drawings, books and strange symbols and patterns hold the key. Even the music and sounds piped into the room can hold answers. Those who become stumped can use a walkietalkie they will eventually find to ask Jackson for a hint. He’ll be watching teams as they work via wall-mounted cameras. “Just like any movie, you

want to have “A-ha” moments that either happen physically or happen mentally, and for us we have both,” said the carpenter by trade who is now at work designing and constructing a second theme room, known as Serial Killer Charade, which will open in December. Two more rooms will be unveiled next year. The business is the latest in the escape room game craze that has been sweeping Canada over the past year, including here in Ottawa – part of a trend that first emerged in Japan and then spread to China in 2012 before moving into Eastern Europe. It was Hu, a high-tech expert and former competitive gamer, who pitched the concept to Jackson. They were hoping to open in January, but were caught up in a lengthy permit process. In the meantime, they opened Archery Tag in the same 740-square-metre building. Their puzzle designs are a collaborative effort with Toronto-based Game Hive game and app designers. Future rooms – though still under development – will be multi-storey. The directors are also considering changing the Boom Room theme and puzzles next year to draw in players who will have already tackled it. “When you’re in the gaming industry or the recreation industry like we are, it’s just how far the mind can take it,” said Hu. Some escape rooms feature robotics, actors and require participants to con-

The latest in escape-room entertainment has launched in south Ottawa. Room Escape Ottawa co-owners Ramsay Jackson, left, and Qi Hu stand in the Boom Room, the team’s first room they have designed to test the puzzle-solving limits of those trying to escape within an hour. struct devices. Themes vary from thriller to horror, complete with gory props. Jackson said the Boom Room is ideal for participants as young as 12, though they’ll need adult assistance with the puzzles. As for the serial killer room, they’re still deciding just how scary it will be. “So you can get into a

real horror theme and that’s a big part of the fun … being scared while you’re in there,” said Jackson. “Why else would you escape?” asked Hu, a hightech expert and former competitive gamer. “To fit into the narrative of escaping something you need to be escaping something dangerous.”

Early testers of the Boom Room weren’t able to escape, though some came close. For those who want a quick exit before the hour is up, the door to the first room will remain unlocked. “It’s a delicate balancing act that you have to maintain in there so that everybody’s going to have fun with it, but

not everybody’s going to get out,” Jackson said. DETAILS

The experience is $24 per person. Room Escape Ottawa is open Friday to Sunday and is located at 1860 Bank St. in unit 3B. For details, visit roomescapeottawa.com.

Mohd Jamal Alsharif was just one of hundreds of people who came to city hall looking for answers. As the son of Palestinian refugees who fled to Canada, he is determined to sponsor Syrian refugee families desperately trying to leave their war-ravaged homeland behind and start afresh – and rebuild in safety. “We started a small group (of sponsors) by ourselves when we saw that picture of that small boy...,” he said, pausing as the tears rolled down his cheeks. Alsharif remains haunted by the images of Aylan Kurdi, the three-year-old Syrian Kurdish boy – a refugee – who drowned after the overcrowded boat he and his fleeing family were on capsized in Turkey last month. “I understand that (experience),” said the Gatineau, Que., resident, who works in the Hunt Club community. “It’s very difficult to lose a child.” Others were equally as motivated to attend the mayor’s forum on Syrian refugee resettlement efforts on Oct. 1, held to connect potential sponsors with community organizations, faith groups and agencies, as well as access free legal expertise during a clinic hosted by the Canadian Association of Refugee Lawyers and the University of Ottawa Refugee Sponsorship

Exhibit showcases Ottawa artists Selections 2015 Juror’s Choice Awards announced An enthusiastic crowd of more than 200 members of the arts community, artists and special guests gathered at the vernissage in anticipation of who the jury selected as the three winners of AOE Arts Council’s annual Selections 2015 art exhibit on Sept. 25. The honours of three Juror’s Choice Awards goes to Magda Hanna for her organic collage entitled “Another Shopping Day”, Patrick Imai for his sculpture entitled “Urban Diners”, and to Richard Robesco for his work entitled “Karbon No.13”, a photograph of his sculpture. This year, jury members reviewed close to 300 works submitted by 97 local artists. Their deliberations produced a final selection of 53 diverse works created by 37 AOE Arts Council members. The show reflects the diversity of mediums used by AOE Arts Council visual art members to include: photography, painting, sculpture, ceramic, marquetry, drawing, digital art, mixed media, printmaking and textile art. Sponsored by DeSerres, The Selections 2015 professional juried art exhibit showcased works created by AOE Arts Council members. Each winner received a $100 gift certificate from DeSerres. The public is invited to vote for

the People’s Choice Award during the exhibition. The winner will be announced on October 21 at www. artsoe.ca and the AOE Arts Council’s Facebook and twitter feeds. The exhibit runs until October 20, 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily, in the Trinity Art Gallery at the Shenkman Arts Centre. Responsive to the needs of Ottawa artists, AOE Arts Council is consistently hears that there are just not enough exhibiting spaces for artists. Selections is an annual juried exhibit that has been organized by the arts council for close to 15 years. Its main objectives are to create a month long opportunity for artist members to exhibit in a professional setting and sell their work to the public. The annual exhibit continues to attract the interest of new and emerging artists in the Ottawa region who practice visual art including: photography, textile arts, marquetry, mixed media, printmaking, digital art, sculpture, acrylic, oil, ceramic, drawing and watercolour. This exhibit is one of just a few, juried by professionals and highly esteemed peers, group show opportunities for local artists.

good resources to sponsor someone.” Between the fundraising effort, the sponsorship assistance and the enormous crowd during the forum, Alsharif said he was heartened to see the mobilization efforts. “With all these people hand in hand, I think we can do something,” he said. “We need to act. We need to motivate people. “When I heard about this, I know a lot of Ottawa citizens and Gatineau citizens were coming here because they have open hearts,” said Alsharif, wiping away his tears. “There is no home like home; however, Canada is a special place where ... everyone feels at home.”

“We want to make sure we take as many as we can and make sure that we have the capacity to welcome them with open arms when they do arrive here.” For those who can’t commit to the approximately $27,000 cost to sponsor a refugee, they are being asked to donate to a newly launched fundraising campaign, Ottawa United for Refugees. It will allow more groups who are willing to provide sponsorship, but can’t afford it. “So by doing this citywide fundraising we can help subsidize or cross-subsidize those groups, to dip into this common pool of dollars so that we don’t have dollars and finances as the reason why we can’t use your

“We think it will allow more people to know what they can do.” The website offers several ways people can get involved, including advocacy, volunteering, sponsoring and donating, and is another step towards ensuring Ottawa is ready to provide for refugees who settle in the city. The organizations involved in the new service plan to each chip in money to hire a co-ordinator as soon as possible. Nicholson said Refugee613 will ensure community services are not duplicated, so that more people can benefit. “We don’t want to have six

agencies for training programs for sponsors on the same night,” he said. It’s too early to set a goal of how many refugees Ottawa can take in, but the city can accommodate more than the estimated 1,000 refugees who arrive here every year. That will depend on the federal government, which oversees immigration. “The latest numbers from the federal government were 10,000 refugees over a span of four years. Well, that’s only 2,500 refugees a year for the whole country. “So we think we can do more than that obviously as a country,” Watson said.

Ottawa mourns death of ‘champion for the underdog’ Max Keeping Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Max Keeping, considered by many as a community leader and champion for children, has died at the age of 73. Mayor Jim Watson’s voice broke as he struggled to contain his emotions when he announced Keeping’s passing in front of a packed council chamber during the city’s Syrian refugee resettlement forum at city hall on Oct. 1. A minute of silence was held in Keeping’s memory. “It’s a very, very sad day for the whole city. Max was larger than life,” said Watson, who first met Keeping in 1982 when Watson was a student leader at Carleton University. “He was such a community builder, such a great friend to so many different causes and individuals. He was always a champion for the underdog and always so positive, even during his many bouts with cancer.” When Watson last saw Keeping about a month ago at a fundraising event, Watson said “he was still living life to the max, as he used to say.” He epitomized community and advocated for children and youth, including children in care, said Ottawa South

@CHEO/Twitter

Veteran news anchor and champion for children, Max Keeping, who anchored the annual CHEO Telethon for more than 25 years, passed away Oct. 1 at the age of 73 after a long battle with cancer. MPP John Fraser, who knew Keeping well for the past 16 years. “He work very hard on scholarships for wards of the Crown so he always brought to us, not (things) for himself, but for kids, whether it was

through CHEO, wards of the Crown or children’s mental health,” he said. “He was able to help us give expression to the desire to do the right thing for our kids. He brought people together.”

Staff, volunteers and patients and their families at CHEO, where a wing was named in Keeping’s honour in 2003, were also in mourning. “Today, Ottawa has lost one of its proudest ambassadors. Kids in our community

have lost one of their biggest champions. CHEO has lost its most ardent supporter,” Alex Munter, CHEO president and chief executive, said in a statement. Keeping anchored the annual CHEO Telethon, the regional hospital’s largest fundraiser, for more than 25 years. He was first diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2003. It returned in 2010, the same year as his final CTV Ottawa News broadcast, according to the media outlet. The longtime community leader, who hailed from Newfoundland, was first named to the CJOH news anchor desk in 1972. “He was in your living room every night,” said Fraser. Munter said the veteran newsman was a “constant presence during generations of tremendous change.” “To put Max’s longevity into perspective, by the time I entered Grade 1 in 1974, Max was already a fixture on Ottawa’s airwaves,” said Munter, who recalled going to work for Keeping for a couple of years when Munter was a CTV Ottawa commentator. Keeping remained a strong advocate for children, even

through his own cancer diagnosis and treatment, said Munter. “This past year was very hard as Max lost his legendary ‘gift of the gab’ – but he never lost his spirit, curiosity or love of community. When I last saw him, the TV was tuned to federal election coverage and newspapers were spread across his bed, the inveterate newsman,” he said. “As I gave him the latest updates from CHEO, he smiled and laughed – always happy at the success of ‘his’ hospital.” Keeping co-founded Child and Youth Friendly Ottawa, and established the Max Keeping Foundation, which helped more than 6,000 families over 21 years. The charity was dissolved earlier this year amid his deteriorating health, and the remaining $150,000 went to the creation of the Max Keeping Fund For Kids, an endowment fund at CHEO that helps families with expenses related to medical care, such as travel and accommodation. “There is no doubt that Max’s legacy will be felt by kids for generations to come,” said Munter. “Indeed, Max will always be a hero to CHEO.”

NAC lowers flag in memory of Max Keeping Staff

Max Keeping’s memory is being honoured by the National Arts Centre, which lowered its flag a day after his death on Oct. 2. The centre is mourning the loss of “the legendary news anchor and community fundraiser who spent a lifetime supporting so many wonderful organizations in the nation’s capital,” the organization said in a statement,

the day after the veteran news anchor passed away on Oct. 1 after a long fight against cancer. Keeping supported the centre’s orchestra “and particularly liked to work with the musicians to bring attention to their efforts during the holiday season. “On two occasions the players of the NAC Orchestra invited Max to conduct them in their annual Fanfair concert, a free holiday event that attracts hundreds of families each year

“Max was a believer in Share the Spirit because he knew the power that the performing arts has in bringing joy to people’s lives.” Jayne Watson, executive director, NAC Foundation

to the NAC.” NAC president and chief executive Peter Herndorf said Keeping’s spirit of community

building was “infectious.” David Thies-Thompson, a violist and organizer of the NAC’s Fanfair concert, echoed

Herndorf’s sentiment. “Max conducted us twice and hosted the event several times,” he said. “Over the course of the 25 years, the NAC Orchestra’s Players Association has raised close to $1 million to support the Ottawa Snowsuit Fund and the Ottawa Food Bank.” The NAC Foundation’s launch of its Share the Spirit Campaign in 2009 also benefited from Keeping’s assistance. The campaign generates funds

allowing disadvantaged children to enjoy holiday programming at the NAC for free. “Max was a believer in Share the Spirit because he knew the power that the performing arts has in bringing joy to people’s lives,” said Jayne Watson, the foundation’s chief executive. “He was a wonderful man, who helped raise more than $100 million for organizations across the city. He was a role model for all of us.”

ETFO returns to table amid launch of ‘Wynne Wednesdays’ Staff

Talks have resumed between the province, the Ontario Public School Boards Association, and the last teachers’ union without a contract. On Sept. 29, the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario (ETFO) released a statement indicating that it was returning to the bargaining table on Oct. 6 in the hope of reaching a new collective agreement. The announcement came on the same day that ETFO filed an Unfair Labour Practice Complaint against the government and OPSBA on the grounds of failing to bargain in good faith. “ETFO has been ready to return to the table for two weeks to bargain a fair and reasonable agreement specific to ETFO members,” stated ETFO president Sam Hammond on the evening of Sept. 29. “We accept this invitation and we look to the (Education) Minister to confirm where and when negotiations will resume.” Contract talks broke down on Sept. 11 after ETFO claimed the province and OPSBA walked away from the table after making an initial offer. Education Minister Liz Sandals later claimed that the offer presented to ETFO mirrored the offers accepted by the other teachers unions, which included a modest raise in pay, an extra professional development day, and changes to sick days. Since then, teachers at Ontario’s public elementary schools ramped up their work-to-rule campaign to a new phase, staging their first

‘Wynne Wednesday’ on Sept. 30. During that protest, teachers adorned in union colours staged demonstrations before and after classes at their respective schools. Radio ads purchased by ETFO speak of the need for a different kind of provincial support, given that elementary students have different needs than those in high school. This ‘one-size-doesn’tfit-all’ message is in line with the criticisms made by Hammond following the Sept. 11 impasse. Though administrative duties were reduced, including the cancellation of field trips and most interactions with parents, classes have remained uninterrupted so far this year. However, the threat of rotating strikes has been made, and could kick off at any time – especially if the looming talks fail to produce an agreement. The Ottawa-Carleton District School Board has since posted information regarding Wynne Wednesdays onto its website. “There may be protests or picket lines at elementary school sites and administration buildings on Wednesdays as part of ‘Wynne Wednesdays,’” states the OCDSB. “Protests or picket lines should not adversely affect secondary students’ access to secondary schools. However, secondary school staff and students at Longfields-Davidson Heights and Earl of March may anticipate delays.” The board also posted words of caution about crossing a protest or picket line, including advice on keeping emotions or biases in check to ensure safety.

OC Transpo plans tax hike to balance budget Emma Jackson Metro Ottawa

OC Transpo is raising its transit tax 2.5 per cent in 2016 as the transit operator faces rising costs and flatlining ridership. An early budget report released Sept. 29 asks staff to craft a transit budget that finds $24.5 million in new money while limiting the transit tax increase to 2.5 per cent. Between the $9 million extra collected through that hike and another $6.9 million more coming from fares, OC Transpo will still

have to find $8.6 million in ‘efficiencies’ to avoid going into deficit. That process has already started, according to transit commission chairman Coun. Stephen Blais. He said five management positions were cut this summer, and the system is “becoming more efficient in how some of the routes operate.” But that hasn’t been enough to fend off a rising tide of extra costs. Insurance claims were much higher than budgeted in 2015, for example, and as warranties end on the city’s fleet of hybrid buses maintenance

costs are rising, too. “In order to provide the same level of service doing the same work on the buses, we now have to spend more money,” Blais said. Blais said more details about OC Transpo’s savings plan will come to the finance committee as part of the draft budget. He skirted the notion the transit operator is considering service cuts. “We need to consider making sure we have an efficient and affordable system for the highest number of people that we can,” he said.

The university only designated programs that are already compliant with the act. “The university is committed to reviewing the scope of the designation once we’ve had enough experience in applying it,” said Sébastien Grammond, a professor at the faculty of law who coordinated the university’s effort to obtain the designation. “So, in three years’ time, we may consider designating graduate programs, and other programs and services not currently covered by the designation.” Orléans MPP Marie-France Lalonde was on hand for the announcement, and said she was proud to see the announcement made on FrancoOntarian Day. “It is an important step that ensures the sustainability of francophone culture in Ontario, and for future generations,” she said.

After four years of discussions, the University of Ottawa has been recognized by the province as a French-language service provider under the French Language Services Act. The announcement was made on Sept. 25, Franco-Ontarian Day. The designation means that the university will be legally required to offer programs and academic services in French. “Education in French is central to our institution and we are determined to serve the community and provide young francophones with a chance to study and grow in a francophone environment. We firmly believe that this designation has rewarded our efforts and is the next step in our ongoing commitment to this cause,” said Allan Rock, president and vice-chancellor, in a Univer-

sity of Ottawa press release. The university has had a variety of French programs for students to study in French, or complete their studies in a bilingual atmosphere. For example, some courses allow students to take a course in English, but submit their work in French – or vice versa. The university received a partial designation because not all the programs and services at the school are covered – though the estimate is that 90 per cent of francophone students already at the school are in programs that will be covered under the designation. Only certain programs in the faculties such as science and engineering are not covered. Some of the programs not covered under the designation are programs that can’t be completed as currently structured, with the requirement of at least one English course. The designation could expand in the future to cover

Ottawa team finishes third in City Chase nationals Brier Dodge

brier.dodge@metroland.com

If more than 16 hours of running, white water rafting, swimming, laser tag, archery, or eating 40 chicken wings in one sitting sounds like an exciting day, meet Alex Read, 27, and Matt Kelly, 26. The pair just took third place in the City Chase national championships on Sept. 26, a competition that had them complete checkpoints and run cross the city in a race against teams from across Canada. It’s very similar to what you’d see on the Amazing Race, said Read, who grew up in Orléans and attended Sir Wilfrid Laurier Secondary School. But all condensed into one day. The team, dubbed “The Alex and Matt Story”, took second place at the City Chase event held in Ottawa. The top three teams at events held across Can-

ada qualified for the national championships, hosted this year right here in Ottawa. The qualifier event was a much shorter event which only took teams a couple of hours. Nationals however, took significantly more endurance. Read and Kelly – who grew up in Nepean – estimate they ran the equivalent of a marathon – 42 km – throughout the day. They were told after that the minimum distance teams who completed the course ran was about 30 km. Teams had to complete a variety of checkpoints at different locations throughout the city. The competition included figuring out the clues to find the checkpoints, getting from point A to point B with only their legs, OC Transpo, or in some cases, a volunteer city chase driver. Then, they had to complete the checkpoints to advance. Midway through the day, the

last place teams were eliminated from the competition. Having the national championship at home definitely gave the pair an advantage. At one point in the competition, two out-of-town teams asked a bus driver for directions, while the local boys snuck off the back of the bus and high-tailed it to the O-Train. They beat the other two teams to the checkpoint – a mail sorting challenge at Canada Post – by about 15 minutes. The challenges were exactly that: challenges. There was a wide variety of tasks in the 24 events they competed in, from a mental test of 100 questions, to white water rafting on the Ottawa River, to jumping from a tall diving tower while throwing a ball into a hoop. Read said the most challenging checkpoint was a BMX track. They ended up taking a 10 minute time penalty because neither could complete the track “That

was

in less than 60 seconds. A favourite though, was flyboarding, where jets propel you up from a board out of the water while the participant balances. Getting to try so many different activities was the highlight for the pair. A lot of the things they got to do would normally require an admission fee or have a cost associated with them – so it was a free, day-long crash course in all the different activities available in Ottawa. The other highlight, said, Read, was all the people who took part. Most teams advanced by finishing in the top of their local city chase, though there were some fundraising and social media challenge wildcard entries accepted as well. “We were all competing against each other, but we’re all in the same situation,” he said. “Because it’s not a sprint – it’s a marathon. (I’d do it again) in a heartbeat.”

With many teams competing year after year, Read said he sees himself doing the City Chase competition again in the

Inaugural ‘Porchfest’ to highlight local musical talent Steph Willems

Steph.willems@metroland.com

Few places are cosier than a front porch, meaning an upcoming music event in Hintonburg is guaranteed to be an intimate experience. On Oct. 24, fledgling musicians from across the community and city will take to the porches of participating homes in Hintonburg for the inaugural Porchfest. The imaginative event is the brainchild of musician and resident Ken McKay, who got the idea from similar events held in the United States and Montreal. It’s an initiative he’d eventually like to see spread to porches across the city. “About a month ago, I opened my mouth to the Hintonburg Community Association about this thing going on across America called Porchfest,” McKay recalled. “They said ‘Let’s do it – it sounds like a great community event.’” McKay, who performs under the name Ken Halen, knows that drawing artists out of the comfortable and safe confines of their basements or

living rooms can have positive and unexpected consequences. He wants Porchfest to give artists exposure to those living nearby, and beyond. “You see people coming out of houses with instruments all the time, but you never see what it is that they

fest).” Residents who want to register their porch for use as a stage during the event can do so up until Oct. 14 on the event’s website, ottawaporchfest.ca. During Porchfest, performers will play acoustic or unplugged sets lasting 45 minutes, while respecting the family-friendly nature of the event. Unfortunately for some, the porches will be dry in more ways than one - a no smoking or alcohol policy will be in effect for the duration of the set. A listing of what performers can be seen and where will be posted on the website to aid music lovers. Already, McKay has received strong interest in the event, with a dozen performers signed up as of Oct. 1. Praising Ottawans for their enthusiasm for adopting “neat” new ideas, he said his hope is to expand the event citywide, or at least into a few more neighbourhoods. “This is the first year – we’re expecting to have fun, see what happens, and let it organically grow.”

Ottawa Haunted Walk lachance liquidation is saved for now closing sale Alex Robinson

alex.robinson@metroland.com

The Haunted Walk of Ottawa will not become a ghost of its former self – at least not yet. The Haunted Walk announced on Sept. 22 it would have to close down in June 2016 after the HI Ottawa Jail Hostel, where the tour takes place, refused to extend its contract with the company. But the executive director of HI Canada, Alistair McLean, has since said his company has no intention of ending the tours. “There will be discussions that will be happening between the two sides to try to see if we can meet the needs of both sides,” McLean said. Glen Shackleton, the president of the Haunted Walk, said he was told near the end of the summer the hostel would not be renewing the contract because it was looking to focus its business on providing hostel accommodations. “It was definitely a shock at the time,” Shackleton said. “I couldn’t understand it. I still don’t entirely understand their reasons. Hopefully, when we get the chance to sit down and discuss it we’ll better understand each other’s concerns and find solutions.” The old jail, at 75 Nicholas St., was built in 1862 and was the site of a number of public hangings over the years. The jail closed in 1972, when the hostel bought it to convert it into accommodations. Around 30,000 people go on the Haunted Walk every year, which has been offered in the jail for the past 20 years. Roughly 20,000 of those visitors are students, who attend the tour as part of class projects. Shackleton said he announced the bad news

publically as he wanted people to know this Halloween might be the last the tour would be operating. After public outcry, the hostel company met with Mayor Jim Watson and Rideau Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury to discuss the future of the walk. The hostel company then did an about face

“I’m very thankful to the public for reaching out.” Glen Shackleton, president of the Haunted Walk

and said it was committed to keeping the tours alive and making sure the historic jail was accessible to the public. “I’m very thankful to the public for reaching out,” Shackleton said. Despite a termination notice Shackleton received in writing, MacLean said the whole episode was a misunderstanding and that the hostel is willing for the tours to continue. “It has always been a priority for HI Ottawa Jail to continue to give access to our amazing venue to Ottawa region citizens and visitors,” MacLean said. “We understand the community’s love for this building.” Shackleton said he was pleasantly surprised when the hostel announced it would look at extending the contract for the walk. “I’m crossing my fingers,” he said. “My staff are all very pleased,” Shackleton said. “It’s a positive development they’re willing to sit down.”

New Brunswick man sweeps through town on curling tour Alex Robinson

alex.robinson@metroland.com

He was hoping he would sweep well on his trip through Ottawa. Rob Swan came through the national capital region the week of Sept. 29 to play at a number of curling clubs across the city. The trip was part of his second year trying to visit as many curling establishments in Canada in an attempt to raise money for his hometown club in Harvey Station, NB. “We need to start some renovations so this is my way of trying to raise some money throughout the year,” he said. Last season, he curled 103 games in 103 different clubs and is hoping to make it to 150 clubs this year. Swan started a charity called Curling Across the Nation a year ago in the hope of

raising more than $115,000 for a number of renovations needed at the Harvey Curling Club. So far, he has raised around $10,000. Harvey Station is a bedroom community 35 kilometres southwest of Fredericton and has a population of less than 400. Its curling club, which was founded in 1961, has around 70 members. “The good, yet bad thing about Harvey is we have no industry. We’ve got no business to tap into for financial support,” he said. “We’re kind stuck out there on our own because of the lack of municipal and provincial support.” The club’s rink floors are in dire need of repair as they have warped fibre on them. Swan said that he wants to replace them with concrete and that the building also needs new insulation.

“We’ve never missed a season, but now that I’m out on the road and I’ve seen so many other clubs, there are a lot of renovations I want to do to get it up to par with the rest of the country,” he said. He does not ask the clubs for money, as he knows curling budgets can be tight, but hopes the trips will raise awareness that will attract donations and sponsors. Swan, who is a service engineer, stopped in the Ottawa Curling Club on Sept. 29 before continuing on to a number of other clubs in the area. “There are over 1,100 curling clubs in Canada and I’m going to keep going until I get to everyone of them,” he said. Swan has been paying all his own expenses, but is currently looking for sponsors.

Drama ensues over drawing that vanishes into ‘thin air’ MARY COOK Memories French knots on the end of a flour bag tea towel. Emerson had been working on yet another one of his crazy drawings of a building with glass walls and an elevator going up the outside. He had drawn and erased the one sheet, and he claimed he had accidentally turned down the top right corner. To straighten it out he had tucked into the big pile of sheets already full of his crazy ideas of how his buildings were going to look when he became famous. And now the sheet was gone.  Into thin air.   And he knew for a fact that one of us sitting around the table had taken it out of the pile for spite! “And it was my best drawing yet,” he roared. “I even had glass

doors on the building.  This was going to be a building like no one has ever seen before, and someone in this very room has taken it right out of this pile of papers.”  And he closed his fist and banged it down on the pile of sheets before him. Nobody paid him any heed.  Emerson was always ranting about something, and it often had to do with his crazy drawings put to the paper tablets Mother bought for him on the one-cent sale at the Rexall Drug Store in Renfrew.   “Hours of work I put into that drawing,” he said.  It was amazing to me how no one paid him any heed.  Father never took his eyes off the Ottawa Farm Journal, Mother continued to cut pieces out of the Philadelphia Enquirer and paste them into her scrap book, and Everett and Earl kept right on doing what they were doing. Finally, Mother suggested he start at the top of the pile of papers and work his way to the bottom, just in case that particular sheet somehow got tucked into the stack.  Emerson said he had done that and the draw-

Meet Phoenix (ID#A176837), an energetic rabbit ready to hop her way into your heart. Phoenix is a curious girl who loves spending time outside her cage playing with her favourite toys and exploring her surroundings. She is an independent rabbit, but she will let you know when she wants some affection by putting her chin on you or gently pawing at your leg. Phoenix would prefer a home with older teens or adults. She would benefit from owners with previous rabbit experience. Could you make Phoenix’s dreams come true?

ing was gone. “Gone, I tell you!  Gone!  And when I find out who took it out of this pile (and he pounded the stack again for good measure) he’ll pay dearly.” The evening was wearing on, and my fingers were stiff from holding the needle and the embroidery cotton trying desperately to master the French knot, which as far as I was concerned was a lost cause. I knew I would never be as clever as my sister Audrey, and trying to teach me the fine art of embroidery was a complete waste of her time. I forced a yawn and asked my sister if we could put the embroidery away, and maybe take a look through the brand new Eaton’s catalogue, which had just come. It was sitting on the top of the ice box, and this time of year I spent many a happy hour going through the thick catalogue working my way from the corsets in the front, right through to the cream separators in the back. Audrey brought it to the table, put it in front of me, and told me to start where ever I wanted. I decided to

flip to the Christmas section...toys... candies...girl’s pretty clothes. Well! What I found, smack in the middle of the catalogue was Emerson’s missing drawing! There it was, as large as life. Emerson saw it at the same time. He slapped his forehead, his face turned even redder if that was possible. And in a voice barely heard, admitted to putting it in the middle of Eaton’s catalogue to straighten out the page that had a corner fold. Gentle Earl demanded an apology, Everett put a wad of paper wet with spit in his new sling shot and hit Emerson dead on, Father said a swear word in German, Audrey rolled her eyes, and Mother closed her scrap book, let out a long sigh, and ordered us all to bed. Another exciting night at Northcote had come to an end. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Roxy

Hi! I’m Roxy. I am a German Shepherd and Black Lab mix. I will be 2 years old in January. I love chasing squirrels and raccoons, fetching toys, going on walks and meeting new people. At first, most people are scared of me since I have a big bark and I’m very big. But I might just be the friendliest dog you ever met once you get to know me!

merson was raging mad. He was thumping around the kitchen, arms waving, and his face was the colour of his flaming red hair. “It was right there, I tell ya,” he said, stabbing his finger on top of a pile of notepaper. “I accidentally folded down a corner of the sheet, and I put it into this stack of papers to smooth it out, and I haven’t touched it since. Someone has deliberately taken it out of there, and it sure wasn’t me.” It had darkened enough that night in late September, that Mother had lit the coal oil lamps and one sat at either end of the old pine table.  With the exception of Father, who as usual was sitting in front of the Findlay Oval in his rocking chair with his feet up on the oven door, we five children were occupied with our favourite pastimes.  Mother was working on her scrap books, Everett was making a new sling shot, Earl was carving some animal from a piece of smooth wood he had found, and Audrey was attempting to teach me once again how to make

This week’s puzzle answers in next week’s issue

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, it may be challenging to express your true feelings, especially when you fear what others may think. Just do what feels comfortable to you. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Take a sentimental journey with a loved one, Taurus. You never know what examining your emotions will uncover, and you will get to spend quality time together. GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, you can strike up a conversation with just about anyone this week. Your gift for gab makes you a fun person to have around and a welcome member to any new group. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, someone may catch you off guard this week and you don’t have your go-to plan in place. Worry not, as you will rebound quickly and bounce back in a big way. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, it may seem like everyone is hanging on every word you say this week. Don’t worry about performing, just continue to do what gravitates people toward you. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, although you’re not a big fan of the spotlight, this week you will be asked to handle a situation on center stage. You just may enjoy the situation, so don’t fret about it.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, share your long-term goals with colleagues and you may find some unexpected allies. Support can only help your efforts even further. SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, set personal feelings aside when dealing with professional matters. Allowing emotion to get in the way of your goals will only end up affecting you. SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, this is a great time to try something new. Whether it’s a new food or a new experience you’ve been looking to try, dive right in and enjoy the excitement. CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, expect to be excited by a budding relationship in the weeks ahead. Open up to friends or family members so you can share this positive development with loved ones. AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Waiting patiently this week will not get the job done, Aquarius. You may have to be more assertive to get things done. Others will understand and prove helpful. PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, a problem at work seems tough to crack. Take your time and try a new approach, and you will be happy with the results. 1008
