Service dog advocate takes ‘long walk to sanity’ into Manotick emma.jackson@metroland.com

News – If dogs are man’s best friend, no one knows this better than retired Captain Medric Cousineau.

The Nova Scotia resident, his wife Jocelyn and his 27month-old dog Thai arrived in Manotick on Wednesday, Sept. 18, day 49 of a 50-day trek across eastern Canada that he calls his Long Walk to Sanity. The walk aims to raise awareness and money for service dogs to help veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder.

Members of the Manotick legion met the family at the cenotaph in Dickinson Square before they began their walk over the dam and onto Long Island, where Cousineau told his story to students at St. Leonard Catholic School.

Cousineau was injured while on active military duty

off the coast of Newfoundland in 1986. During a raging storm, his team was called out to help rescue two American fishermen.

Rappelling from the helicopter down to the boat, Cousineau was tossed into the nine-metre waves, where he was thrown several metres before he crashed into the back of the fishing boat.

Cousineau received the Star of Courage for his efforts, but that wasn’t the only thing he took home. Since that time, Cousineau has battled PTSD symptoms including night terrors, rage, severe depression and anxiety. “PTSD is one of the most debilitating things,� Cousineau said. During a particularly difficult breakdown in the late 1990s, Cousineau hit a wall.

He gambled; he snapped at the kids; some days he couldn’t get out of bed because of his depression, his wife Jocelyn

the first time in years. When he woke up, he had a panic attack because he was so unused to the feeling.

Now, when Cousineau starts to have a night terror, Thai rouses him â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and he said waking up to those deep brown eyes, floppy ears and cold, wet nose is infinitely better than having a nightmare.

And Thaiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got his back â&#x20AC;&#x201C; literally.

Cousineau suffers from hyper-vigilance, he said, and doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like to have anyone behind him or touching his back. When heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in a crowd or in line at the grocery store, Thai stands behind him to create a physical barrier from other people.

Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is also acutely aware of Cousineauâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s moods. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I start to disassociate, she can smell it and sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll jump up on me to say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hey, whatever youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re thinking about, stop thinking about it and pay attention to me,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

Cousineau explained.

Cousineau knows the difference a service dog can make, and he wanted to spread that healing process to other veterans suffering like him. As a result, he and his wife embarked on a 50-day, 1,065 kilometre walk from Halifax to Ottawa on Aug. 1. The Long Walk to Sanity, part of his Paws Fur Thought campaign, aims to raise enough money to train 50 service dogs and match them to veterans â&#x20AC;&#x201C; about $7,000 per dog, or $350,000.

Cousineau said Canadians have an obligation to help those who have served their country. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are hundreds if not thousands who are just like me. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve sent a lot of people into harmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s way, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hurt,â&#x20AC;? Cousineau said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we send them, we must mend them. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our sacred obligation.â&#x20AC;?

His message seemed to resonate on Sept. 18. After his walk through Manotick, he joined Veterans Affairs Minister Julian Fantino for a short walk and made his case.

After their meeting, Fantino announced that he has directed Veterans Affairs staff to research whether psychiatric service dogs can be effective in treating PTSD. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This first step will serve to fully review the existing international research on the topic, identify areas where data may be missing and determine what knowledge would be necessary to inform a Canadian approach to the use of service dogs,â&#x20AC;? a media statement from his office said.

Past councils remembered in North Gower chambers News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The North Gower and Marlborough areas have gone through many changes over the years, and RideauGoulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt wants to make sure the people who served their constituents are properly remembered.

On Saturday, Sept. 28 Moffatt will unveil a permanent exhibit in the old Rideau Township council chambers in North Gower.

The exhibit will feature names, photos and histories of municipal councils from North Gower, Marlborough and Rideau townships dating back to the 1800s.

Until now the room had only a spotty coverage of local politics, and Moffatt said he wanted to make sure everyone who has served the area is properly commemorated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was really lacking in terms of the history. There were holes,â&#x20AC;? said Moffatt, who majored in history. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted to address that and what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing is going right back to the 1800s to Marlborough Township and North Gower Township and putting up the names of those who served.â&#x20AC;?

Moffatt first got the idea to address the historical holes when he noticed the last council of Rideau Township, which served from 1997 to 2000, wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t included on the walls.

The exhibit will go forward in time as well, all the way to Moffattâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current term as part of the city.

A reception will begin at 2 p.m. at the service centre located at 2155 Roger Stevens Dr., where the public can get their first glimpse of the new exhibit.

After that, the room will be open every Thursday for the

public to peruse their past.

Rich McDonald sat on the first Rideau Township council after North Gower and Marlborough amalgamated in the 1970s.

He said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to remember the people who built these communities into what they are today. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s certainly nice to reflect on what went on from when we started as Rideau Township,â&#x20AC;? McDonald said.

He said he hopes visitors will better appreciate the work that goes into governing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These people gave to the community by participating in municipal life,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Ottawa Valley Tours

About $5,000 came out of Moffattâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office budget to cover framing costs, archival time and refreshments at the reception.

The Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s portrait will remain in its current spot behind the council table, but two panels commemorating SUBMITTED local veterans will be moved The first Rideau Township council sat in 1974, lead by Mayor Bill Tupper, middle front. to flank the queen on either This photo will be one of many on display as part of a permanent exhibit inside the old side.

The old Rideau Township flag will be draped in the corner, Moffatt added.

He hopes residents will take some time to look around. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We use that room a lot and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s neat to have (past councillors) remembered,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Rack ‘em up for ROSSS Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

News – Staff at the Rural Ottawa South Support Services hope to pocket a good chunk of change for their seniors’ programs at a new event in Nepean this weekend.

On Friday, Sept. 27, aspiring pool sharks can head to Tailgators Sports Bar at 1642 Merivale Rd for a night of billiards, comedy and camaraderie in support of the rural nonprofit organization.

“We’re looking forward to having a fun evening,” said communications and outreach manager Terry Watson, who noted the organization has never done an event like this before.

“We have a new staff person who plays pool at Tailgators and we thought we’d try it out to be different.”

Hockey historian Liam McGuire will kick off the evening at 7 p.m. and at 7:45 Yuk Yuk’s comedian Lawrence Morgenstern will take the stage.

Throughout the evening, ticket holders can play pool at the free tables reserved for ROSSS, enjoy hors d’oeuvres and even hustle their way through a mini pool tournament, Watson said.

A silent auction and 50/50 draw will round out the night.

Tickets are $35, and are available at all ROSSS locations and at the door.

Watson said the group hopes to raise $30,000 towards its meals on wheels and diner programs.

“We also want to bring awareness to the (wider) community that ROSSS does need funding to sustain programs and services,” she added.

News – It was a labour of love on Saturday, Sept. 14 as volunteers gathered at the Osgoode Legion to build a new stone pathway to their nearby cenotaph.

As many as 19 people helped make the pathway a reality throughout the busy day, and Remembrance Day organizer Peter Valdstyn said the new path will make a huge difference this November.

“Our cenotaph is about 50 feet from the building and it was all grass,” he said. “Walking on that grass at the Remembrance Day service when you’re leading the recipients down to the cenotaph to lay a wreath is a real challenge.

SUBMITTED

A new stone pathway will make it easier to access the cenotaph at the Osgoode legion.

It’s rough, it’s bumpy, it can be wet.”

A steady stream of politicians, community leaders, members from local organizations and veterans make the walk from the legion to the cenotaph to lay a wreath each year.

Some of the participants are seniors and unsteady on

their feet, Valdstyn said, and a stone walkway is the norm at other area cenotaphs in Vernon, Metcalfe and Kenmore.

“Every year I complained about it and I said one of these days we’re going to do something here,” Valdstyn said.

And this year, something finally did get done. Valdstyn mentioned his concerns to the legion’s chaplain George Scharf, who managed to secure donated stones from his brother Ken who works in construction.

Then came the work. Under guidance from Ron Gilliland and Ron and Colleen Walker, a group of volunteers laid the heavy stones in place over a six-hour period.

“This will make life a lot easier,” Valdstyn said.

Amy Paul, 27, found dead in Osgoode field Sex trade worker was from Vanier area Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

News - A body found in an Osgoode hay field has been identified as that of 27-year-old Amy Paul of Ottawa.

A farmer discovered the body around 9:13 a.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 17 off Cabin Road, just north of the vil-

lage. Police are investigating the death as a homicide.

Police spokesperson Const. Marc Soucy said Paul was a sex trade worker with no fixed address, who frequented the Vanier and Lowertown areas in downtown Ottawa. He said it is unclear if Paul has any connection to the Osgoode area.

“We’re looking at why she was there and what she was doing there,” he said.

A family member filed a missing persons report for Paul on Sept. 9 and Soucy said investigators were actively following her case.

“They were working on it. They had leads and they were working on their leads,” he said.

Paul’s missing persons report was not made public at the time. Soucy said the police receive thousands of missing persons reports each year, and only a handful are released to the media.

He said criteria for releasing a report considers the person’s age, mental state, their risk level or if there are no leads in the case.

A post-mortem was conducted on Wednesday, Sept. 18 but Soucy said police are not releasing the results at

this time. He said it is “too early to tell” if there are suspects in the case.

“It’s still being actively investigated,” he said.

Police are asking women, particularly sex trade workers, to be vigilant and exercise good safety practices.

Sex trade workers should: • Be aware of surroundings and avoid isolated areas.

• Trust your instincts.

• Let someone know if you must leave the area.

• Take more time than usual before getting into a vehicle.

• Try to work in teams so someone knows what vehicle you get in.

• Keep a cell phone and make sure it’s charged and has minutes on it.

• Have a personal safety plan prepared should a dangerous situation arise.

• Report bad dates immediately to police, or to someone you trust.

• Check in regularly with people you know so they know you are ok.

Anyone with information in this case is urged to call police at 613-236-1222 ext. 5493 or phone Crime Stoppers at 613-233-8477.

Keith Last of Audreyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Antiques in Kemptville will appraise specialty china, glassware, silver and lamps while Anna Adamek from the Museum of Science and Technology can address â&#x20AC;&#x153;domestic technologyâ&#x20AC;? like household items, appliances and utensils.

David Legris of Legris Conservation Inc. restores fine art at studios in Ottawa and Montreal, and can put

most paintings into context.

Metcalfe resident David Gray, a research associate with the Museum of Civilization and the Museum of Nature, can give context to old toys and tools, as well as any Arctic memorabilia people might have. Gray just returned from a month-long expedition to the high Arctic following the footsteps of the original Canadian Arctic Expedition that left in 1913. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got well-qualified people,â&#x20AC;? said Jane Cooper, one of the organizers.

She urged participants to pay attention to the specialty list before

deciding what to bring, because the experts canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t speak to everything.

Two big areas that canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be addressed this year include furniture and war memorabilia, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(But) if thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of stuff in a particular area, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll look for an expert in that area for next time,â&#x20AC;? Cooper said.

The organizers said they are â&#x20AC;&#x153;ready to be surprisedâ&#x20AC;? by what people dig out of their closets, basements and attics to bring to the show. Cooper said she expects that some people will bring their cherished items to simply show them off, even if they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get

much information about them.

It costs $5 to get each item appraised â&#x20AC;&#x201C; money that the community association will use for future beautification projects in the village.

Cooper said they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a fundraising goal, but every donation will help. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty low cost as far as fundraisers go,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really be a money loser.â&#x20AC;?

The event is a partnership between the association and the Osgoode Township Historical Society and Museum. Staff from the museum will be at the event to answer questions as well.

Parking is available behind the fire hall at 8011 Victoria St.. Residents are reminded not to park in front of the trucks.

Tomlinson Groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Red Army

By Tracey Tong

For the Tomlinson Groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Red Army, it was a red letter day in the name of cancer research.

The fundraising team was the second-largest in the fourth annual Ride the Rideau, Eastern Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most successful single-day cancer fundraiser. The event, which debuted a 50 km distance in addition to the 100 km ďŹ&#x201A;agship distance this year, raised an incredible $2,049,522 for cancer research at the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute.

This brings The Ottawa Hospital Foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s signature fundraising eventâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s four-year fundraising total to over $6.45 million. Funds raised support cancer research, including the development of personalized therapies for cancer patients and clinical trials.

Chef Dave Godsoe works at the Indulge Kitchens and Cocktails in Riverside South. He will prepare all of the food for Watsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Millâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s food pairing dinner on Oct. 4.

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A gourmet event at Watsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mill is pairing the old with the new as local restaurant Indulge sets out to wow guests at an upcoming dinner.

Chef Dave Godsoe from Indulge Kitchens and Cocktails in Riverside South will set up a make-shift kitchen inside the historic building on Friday, Oct. 4, to serve a seven-course meal paired with craft beer from Turtle Island Brewery.

Foie gras, wild hare and bison ribeye are the stars of the menu, which also includes roasted pumpkin soup, heirloom carrots and several desserts.

The dinner follows a beertasting night held at the mill in July, where local breweries competed for the chance to have their lagers and ales featured at the fall food pairing.

Turtle Island Brewery led by J.P. Fournier came out on top only hours after it officially launched its brewery.

The Oct. 4 event will begin at 7 p.m. with a â&#x20AC;&#x153;warm welcomeâ&#x20AC;? molasses ginger snap before moving on to the foie gras torchon paired with Turtle Islandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cherry ale.

The dish includes pickled Ontario cherries, cherry ale meringue and a special brioche made in the microwave to get around the millâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s limited

amenities.

Guests can then enjoy a roasted pumpkin soup - paired perfectly with the crisp fall weather and changing leaves before moving on to Godsoeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wild Quebec hare duo paired with heirloom carrots and a dark honey brown beer.

Some of the hare is done â&#x20AC;&#x153;sousvideâ&#x20AC;? style, Godsoe said, which means the meat is cooked with all its spices in a sealed bag for many hours at low temperatures.

The bison ribeye will also be served with a dark honey brown cask from Turtle Island, along with horseradish potato puree, salt roasted beets, onion port jam and a honey brown reduction.

The meal finishes with a sâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;more tart for dessert followed by macaroons.

Godsoe said planning a gourmet menu for a venue like Watsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mill was a challenge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The menu is designed with the fact that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no kitchen, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no running water,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The logistics took a while to figure out what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing.â&#x20AC;?

He said he and his team are planning some â&#x20AC;&#x153;pretty modern, funky stuffâ&#x20AC;? to get around the fact that Watsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mill doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even have a bathroom, let alone a kitchen â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and despite the limitations he said almost everything will be made

on site. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not a big fan of making things ahead of time; I want to serve (items) at their best,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It makes it challenging when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working with butane burners (but) weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to do as much as we can to order.â&#x20AC;?

Mill manager Isabelle Geoffrion said the event is the first of its kind for the mill, and is incredibly exciting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have had such success with beer, wine, scotch (and) port tasting events in the past, we felt it was time to raise the bar and experiment with a full, upscale, dinner experience,â&#x20AC;?

Geoffrion said in an email. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chefs are jumping from being artists to becoming rock stars, each building their own following and growing in popularity. Chef David Godsoe is preparing a very interesting menu for the Watsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mill event on Oct. 4 and these gamey flavours will go well with the Turtle Island craft beers.â&#x20AC;?

Tickets are $80 each, and ticket holders must be 19 years or older. Tickets must be purchased in advance and are available at Watsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mill, as well as online via WatsonsMill.Eventbrite.com.

Admission includes an upscale six-course dinner, each paired with a Turtle Island craft beer, a palate teaser and a take-home souvenir from Watsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mill.

Coping with tragedy

T

he awful events of Sept. 18 cost six people their lives.

Naturally we all have questions about what went wrong when a double-decker OC Transpo bus struck a Via train near Fallowfield Station in Barrhaven. Yet, our priority in these days following the tragic event should be to care for those affected and let them know that their neighbours are here to help in any way they can.

We will find out what happened as the Transportation Safety Board and Ottawa police complete their respective investigations. We may never know exactly why events unfolded as they did, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have a general idea.

In the meantime, we should all make an effort to avoid speculation. Guessing at the cause serves no purpose and can only be hurtful.

There is also no good reason to point fingers at past decisions about the design of rail crossing on Woodroffe Avenue and the Transitway where the collision took place. That crossing met all the existing standards of the day and is no different than hundreds â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or possibly thousands â&#x20AC;&#x201C; of crossings across the country. If that crossing is inherently dangerous then there is much work to do across Canada, and the federal government will have to help other levels of

government pay to keep citizens of this country safe by separating train lines for roads in many places.

The TSB has committed to sharing all its information when their work is done and has also promised to alert the public and authorities if they find a glaring safety issue during their work. We can ask nothing more and nothing less.

But as for now, many residents across Ottawa are bound to know someone who was on the bus, on the train or sitting in their car on Woodroffe Avenue when the collision occurred. This was a traumatic event, and those who witnessed it deserve our support to cope with the emotional fallout.

Some will also know the families of the six people â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Michael Bleakney, Connor Boyd, Karen Krzyzewski, Kyle Nash, Rob More and Dave Woodard â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who lost their lives. Those family members need all the help and support this city can afford them.

But perhaps forgotten among those who might be shaken by this tragedy are the OC Transpo bus drivers. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never easy losing a colleague, and many drivers may recall the times theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve driven past that site and think it couldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been them and their passengers.

So next time youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting off a bus, take a moment to thank your bus driver for getting you there safe and sound -- their job is far from easy.

Messy as it is, democracy in action is a wonderful thing

L

ast week was Democracy Week, which you probably didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t notice either.

There could have been something said about it in Parliament, but the House of Commons was prorogued.

So most of us didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t notice until it was too late. Except that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never too late to think about democracy. Why do so many of us, who live in one the most free countries of the world, decide not to vote when we get the chance on election day? Why do we, who are better educated than people in most countries of the world, know so little about public affairs?

And why do we not care? People blame television for this. More recently, people blame the Internet. People blame the parents of Canada, who are too busy watching television to talk to their kids about democracy. People blame politicians for being such bozos. People blame the news media, who care more about sports and Miley Cyrus than about democracy.

People blame our affluence and our freedom: Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing just fine so we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to care about what our governments are doing.

This is a big mistake, because government is with us every day -- sometimes less than we want, on issues such as homelessness, and sometimes more, on issues such as how

613-723-5970 Published weekly by:

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town big a cross you can wear around your neck or whether you can put your inside furniture on your front porch.

Most lovers of democracy are rightly steamed about Quebecâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s charter of values, which stipulates what religious symbols government employees canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wear.

Less significant, but equally silly, are changes to Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s property maintenance bylaw, publicized recently, which would have required green bins to be stored in back yards.

This has something to do with bureaucrats thinking green bins donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look good on front porches. The same changes also contained a provision that indoor furniture shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be outdoors -- in other words, no chesterfield on the veranda.

Nobody around city hall twigged that such

recommendations might cause inconvenience -- for example, to the many people in the city who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have back yards or garages or other places to keep their green bins out of sight; or people who canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t spend money on cool-looking outdoor furniture for their front porches.

Away from city hall, people did notice, however. The proposed changes became subject to public debate and seem, like Quebecâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s charter of values, on their way to being laughed out of existence. Mind you, the charter of values might take a little longer.

In their rather different ways, both issues are examples of democracy being put to improper uses. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t elect a government to tell us what to wear on our heads or put on our front porches. In a democracy we can have whatever we want on our heads or our front porches, as long as we arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t endangering anyone or interfering with anyone elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rights.

Putting the chesterfield on the front porch is fine as long as youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not sitting on it playing the bagpipes at three in the morning, or vermin arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t escaping from it (the chesterfield, not the bagpipes) into the neighbourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s yard.

The chesterfield might not look so nice, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a question of taste, and we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t elect governments to rule on taste. If we did, politicians would dress a lot cooler than they do

and their office walls wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have so many plaques on them and pictures of the politicians shaking hands with celebrities.

We are allowed to have our own tastes, especially if they are bad. Because whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to say?

Wide ties may come back.

Obviously, the people sense this, hence the uproar, hence the retreat by city hall. This all happened during Democracy Week, by the way.

Exercising the right to yell and protest and cause a public uproar is democracy in action.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s messy sometimes, like the chesterfield on the front porch, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re comfortable with it.

City fought against separating Woodroffe from train tracks Building underpass would have cost $111 million

Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - The city fought for years to avoid the expense of separating the Transitway and Woodroffe Avenue from train tracks where a deadly bus-

train collision took six lives on Sept.

18.

City records show a grade-separated rail crossing was recommended as long ago as 1999, when environmental study report looked at constructing the southwest Transitway

Notice of Completion of Environmental Project Reportt Cumberland Transitway Extension Trim Road to Frank Kenny Road The Project The City of Ottawa has completed an Environmental Project Report (EPR) in accordance with Ontario Regulation 231/08 for the extension of the Cumberland Transitway which will include a segregated busway between Trim Road and Frank Kenny Road. The project will serve to improve transit service in the OrlĂŠans area. Study information, including pre-planning efforts, is available at ottawa.ca.

The Process The environmental impact of this transit project was assessed and an EPR was prepared according to the Transit Project Assessment Process as prescribed in Ontario Regulation 231/08, Transit Projects and Greater Toronto Transportation Authority Undertakings.

STUDY AREA

The EPR is available for a 30-day review period beginning September 26, 2013 at the following locations: Ministry of the Environment s %NVIRONMENTAL !PPROVALS "RANCH 2 St. Clair Avenue West, Floor 12A, Toronto, ON, M4V 1L5

There are circumstances where the Minister of the Environment has the authority to require further consideration of the transit project, or impose conditions on it. These include if the Minister is of the opinion that the transit project may have a negative impact on: s -ATTERS OF PROVINCIAL IMPORTANCE THAT RELATE TO THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT OR HAS CULTURAL HERITAGE VALUE OR INTEREST OR

s ! CONSTITUTIONALLY PROTECTED !BORIGINAL OR TREATY RIGHT Before exercising the authority referred to above, the Minister is required to consider any written objections to the transit project that he or she may receive within 30 days after the Notice of Completion of the EPR is ďŹ rst published.

If you have discussed your issues with the proponent and you object to the project, you can provide a written submission to the Minister of the Environment no later than October 25, 2013 to the address provided below. All submissions must clearly indicate that an objection is being submitted and describe any negative impacts to matters of provincial importance (natural/ cultural environment) or Aboriginal rights.

extension.

Still, the city continued to try and convince Canadian National Rail, which operated the line at the time, that an at-grade option would be best. The city proposed a number of options using â&#x20AC;&#x153;advanced signalized conditions.â&#x20AC;?

CN sent an â&#x20AC;&#x153;emphatic refusalâ&#x20AC;? for an at-grade crossing in a letter dated May 8, 2001, citing concerns about traffic volume and train speeds.

By 2003, the city had agreed to separate bus, vehicle and train traffic. Council authorized $12.4 million towards the $40-million project to grade-separate the crossing. The idea of building a bus overpass was thrown out because the soil had poor capacity to bear bridge approach supports and the â&#x20AC;&#x153;vigorousâ&#x20AC;? opposition of nearby residents on Fallowfield Road and the National Capital Commission, which would not accept the visual intrusion of an overpass.

But a detailed geotechnical investigation revealed a potentially disastrous situation: according to a 2003 city report, unusually high groundwater flow patterns in the bedrock under the tracks could lead to â&#x20AC;&#x153;catastrophic failureâ&#x20AC;? and possible severe impact in Barrhaven homes. Continuous pumping and a â&#x20AC;&#x153;massiveâ&#x20AC;? amount of concrete would be required if an underpass was built, according to a detailed safety assessment conducted in 2004. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was determined that in view of the magnitude of this condition, the conventional open-cut underpass option should be abandoned due to an unacceptable risk,â&#x20AC;? the report reads.

Beyond that, the cost to make an underpass option feasible would have been exorbitant: $111 million, with more than $80 million of that bill falling to the city to pick up.

The city was able to convince CN the level crossing was the best option.

Two factors led to the change in attitude, according to a city report: the â&#x20AC;&#x153;exorbitant costsâ&#x20AC;? of grade separation, as well as the changed trainspeed conditions in the area thanks to the addition of a station at Fallowfield.

That freed up grant money to be

used for other projects, including such things as the completion the southwest Transitway to Fallowfield station and the widening of Fallowfield Road to Greenbank Road. At the time, Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder credited city staffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;creativityâ&#x20AC;? in convincing Via Rail that the road could be widened at grade, which allowed the other projects to move forward.

Harder could not be reached for comment about the crossing after the crash.

A draft safety report prepared in 2004 showed the at-grade crossing would have â&#x20AC;&#x153;a high level of safety exceeding that of the existing crossingâ&#x20AC;? at the time.

City manager Kent Kirkpatrick couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t immediately answer questions about how frequently the safety of that crossing must be studied.

Via Rail, which now operates the line, commissioned a study earlier this year that looked at the Fallowfield station and train speeds, Kirkpatrick said. The city commented on the terms of reference, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all he could say about the study during news conferences on the day of the crash.

The gates at the crossing are maintained by a contractor, Rail Term, which is hired by Via Rail, Kirkpatrick said.

Gurbakhshish Singh Bal, an OC Transpo operator, said he has never had any issues operating a bus on the Transitway at the rail crossing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very wide vision. You can see it very clear from far,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what happened.â&#x20AC;?

Singh Bal said at the Woodroffe crossing, the train would usually be going slow because it would either be arriving at or leaving Fallowfield station. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not fast, fast, fast coming. The lights are always working, everything is working. So I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find any problem.â&#x20AC;?

According to the 2004 safety study, 12 passenger trains passed through that crossing. That number was expected to rise to 16 trains a day in both directions.

Job Title:

2010 at the high school, which is part of the French Catholic board. The board covers all of eastern Ontario, with Franco Cité located in Ottawa on Smyth Road.

She allegedly exchanged emails and texts of a sexual nature with a student, sent pornographic photos of herself, touched a student sexually, and had a sexual relationship.

The hearing also alleges the student showed a tattoo on her upper thigh to a student, and offered to pay $600 for a student’s football camp.

It also said that she engaged in inappropriate electronic communication with more than one student and behaved inappropriately when she invited several to her wedding and gave out her cell phone number.

The board’s acting director of communications, Cé-

line Bourbonnais, confirmed Cadieux was a teacher at Franco Cité and is no longer employed by the board. The school board reported Cadieux to the Ontario College of Teachers in 2010.

Cadieux resigned from her job in April 2010, and her licence was suspended following that for non-payment of dues. Disciplinary penalties the committee could enforce include revoking her teaching certificate, imposing conditions, reprimanding or counselling the teacher, fining her up to $5,000, publishing the findings and setting a period that she would be ineligible for reinstatement.

She graduated from the University of Ottawa’s teacher’s college in 2008.

Cadieux, reached by phone, said she had no comment on the allegations.

Bus passenger finds religion after crash Six confirmed fatalities in bus, Via train collision Jennifer McIntosh and Laura Mueller jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - Seconds before he saw the front of the bus he was riding on disappear Eric Nelson asked himself why the driver hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hit the brakes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were about to cross the rail line and the safety arm had come down,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I looked over at the cars on Woodroffe all the other cars had stopped. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when he stomped on the brakes, but it was too late.â&#x20AC;?

Nelson was one of the dozens of passengers on an OC Transpo bus struck by a train near Fallowfield station on Sept. 18.

Seated about two rows behind the front stairwell at the top of the double-decker 76 express, Nelson said the first three rows of the bus were wiped away by the westbound Via train when the two collided. He added the bus was likely 90 per cent full.

Amanda Brooks, 20, who spoke to the press with cheeks smeared by tears and dirt, said passengers were screaming at the driver to stop.

Nelson said it was akin to a religious experience for him. He says timing and luck saved him from being one of the fatalities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we had crossed two seconds later we would have missed it,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Two seconds earlier and it would have hit the middle of the bus and done a lot more damage.â&#x20AC;?

Once the bus stopped, passengers made for the exit, which was tough because the stairwell was pretty much demolished, Nelson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had to kind of hold the door up to get it out, because it was leaning on its side,â&#x20AC;? he said.

When he got off the bus, he described the carnage on the train tracks as a war scene. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were blood and limbs everywhere. There were people who were obviously very injured. I hope they survived. One guy flew 10 metres down the tracks during the crash so I doubt he did,â&#x20AC;? Nelson said.

Police, fire services and paramedics rushed to the scene of the crash â&#x20AC;&#x201C; where Woodroffe Avenue crosses the Via Rail train tracks at 8:48 a.m.

Shortly after the crash, police confirmed five fatalities, including the bus driver. A sixth person succumbed to injuries in hospital.

Police have identified the deceased as Michael Bleakney, 57, Connor Boyd, 21, Karen Krzyzewski, 53, Kyle Nash, 21, Rob More, 35 and driver David Woodard.

Thirty-one people were sent to hospital and three more people who left the scene of the crash later went to hospital. One more person died in hospital before noon, 10 more were in critical condition.

Calline Au, a spokesperson for the Queensway Carleton Hospital said five patients who turned up at hospital on their own after the crash were released. Four were brought in by ambulance and one of those has been released. Two patients had already undergone orthopedic surgery.

Au said one patient was waiting to undergo surgery for a minor fracture on the morning of Sept. 19.

The rest of the injured were transported to the Queensway Carleton Hospital, the Montfort and the Civic and General campuses of the Ottawa Hospital.

Hours later, Nelson was still in the parking lot of the train station with his pregnant wife.

As soon as he got off the bus Nelson texted his wife that there had been a major accident. She called him six times before he heard the phone and picked up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was hard to text because my hands were still shaking,â&#x20AC;? he said, adding he later called his boss and took the day off.

Robert Evraire, who was standing on the platform at the time waiting for the train at Fallowfield station, said he noticed the trainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s headlight went out.

Then he looked up and noticed the front of the train slide to the right, accompanied by flying debris and smoke. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It hits you in the gut,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I couldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been on that train.â&#x20AC;?

Heather Hogan, who was about to board the train for Kingston, said the same thing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I could have gotten on the train downtown and then I would have been on it,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Hogan, who was on the platform as well, remembered the sounds of the crash. â&#x20AC;&#x153;First I heard this loud bang, then awful screeching,â&#x20AC;? she said, adding she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know at first that the bus had been hit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It looked like the bus was in the safe zone from where I was,â&#x20AC;? she said, adding she saw what she

Hogan called 911 immediately

upon seeing the crash. She said her first thought was for the people on board the train. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You hear of trains derailing or

you see it in the movies, but I never thought I would see it,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Community leaders flock to scene; vigil remembers six victims Continued from page 13

The picture was much different from inside the train said one man who identified himself as Ntuk. He was going to Toronto when he saw a blur and heard what he described as a series of bumps.

“It stopped and then I realized we were off the tracks,” he said.

DRIVER

The bus driver is one of five pronounced dead at the scene.

He has been identified by police as David Woodard, 45, of Ottawa.

Craig Watson, president of the Amalgamated Transit Union local 279, said he had been on the job 10 years with a good driving record.

“He was a nice guy,” Watson said. “Any of the drivers who know him will tell you he’s one of the nice guys.”

Watson described Woodard as a family man from the east end of Ottawa.

Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder returned to the Sportsplex after a brief press conference downtown.

“I’ve got one focus and

that’s the people who were on the bus and the people whose family members were there,” Harder said. “That bus 76 goes entirely through my ward and for me it’s all about my community today.”

A double-decker bus can hold up to 90 people, but it is not known how many were aboard the bus when the crash occurred, said OC Transpo general manager John Manconi.

David Fraser, a disaster management volunteer with the Canadian Red Cross, said a dozen volunteers had been dispatched to help reunite passengers with their families.

“People come in and give their information about their identity and that of the person they’re looking for and we try to connect them,” he said. “We also have volunteers here just to listen and to offer counselling.”

Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod also planned to spend time with the victims.

She left Queen’s Park after announcing the tragedy in the legislature.

Her constituency office is in sight of the crash scene.

“It’s the longest trip I’ve

She plans to visit the station and staging area at the Nepean Sportsplex when she gets into

the city.

Const. Marc Soucy, a spokesperson with the Ottawa police, said grief counselling and victim services were on hand for the family members.

He added those on board the train and bus were spread out across the city and were being interviewed by police and the Transportation Safety Board.

Safety board investigator Glen Pilon said that the train contained a “black box” which would give information such as speed of travel at the time of the collision. Because of the severity of the incident, an investigation into the collision has already begun.

The investigation could take months, said Jean Laporte, chief operating officer for the Transportation Safety Board.

He said it is too early in the investigation to comment on questions about whether the bus driver was braking at the time of the collision or whether the bus drove through and damaged the rail-crossing gates.

Pilon said that safety at crossings where trains and vehicles could potentially meet was already on the board’s safety watchlist, a document created in 2010.

The watchlist indentifies the riskiest safety issues for Canadians, each of which has found “that action taken to date are inadequate, and that industry and regulators need to take additional concrete measures to eliminate the risks,” said the safety board’s

website.

The watchlist recommended in 2010 that Transport Canada implement new crossing regulations, develop enhanced standards for certain types of crossing signs, and improve public awareness of the dangers at railway crossings.

If any safety deficiencies are identified at the Woodroffe crossing during the course of the Transportation Safety Board’s investigation, they would be identified to the relevant agencies and made public, Laporte said. However, the board does not have the authority to enforce any regulations or recommendations for corrective action.

Watson said he has directed city officials to work “as cooperatively as possible” with the investigation to find out what led to the crash and how to prevent similar incidents in the future.

“Obviously any deficiencies that are found on any of our roads or crossings or vehicles, of course we’d take immediate action,” the mayor said.

DYING FOR DIGNITY

Connected to your community

Hospices face critical conditions With hospital beds at a premium and the seniors’ population set to double, the city is in desperate need of more palliative care options METROLAND EAST SPECIAL REPORT

T

errence Quickfall knows he is going to die.

He was diagnosed with prostate cancer seven years ago and the slow moving cancer continues to advance.

“It’s very traumatic when you’ve been told you have cancer and you need to learn how to deal with that – the trauma, the big C. What the hell do you do, where do you go from here?” asks Quickfall.

He received the traditional treatment – chemotherapy, radiation and hormone therapy – at a hospital but became depressed and withdrawn.

“The trouble with a hospital is it’s very clinical,” he says. “There’s not enough personal attention, personal care. They’re always busy, busy, busy.

“I’m stuck in these bloody four walls, I can’t get out. There’s no point in me hanging round, I’m not doing anything. And I’m taking up a lot of money that could be used on other people.”

Sensing his distress, his social worker mentioned the option of hospice.

Intrigued, Quickfall visited the Hospice at May Court, located in Old Ottawa South. The non-profit – a part of Hospice Care Ottawa, which includes Friends of Hospice Ottawa in Kanata – offers specialized support and a wide range of services to people and families experiencing a life-limiting illness, either in their homes or through residential programs at one of their two locations.

After four months of attending day programs at May Court, the 73-yearold has found a sense of community and belonging. On a regular visit, Quickfall can be found painting in the art room, talking to other patients, enjoying the garden views or playing cards with friends he’s made through the hospice.

“We’re all in palliative care; palliative care is preparation for end of life,” he says. “We all know we’re going to die, but we’re here to have fun and that’s what we’re damn well going to do.”

Quickfall plans on taking advantage of a residential bed at the hospice when his time comes.

Aside from offering more personal attention, the cost to the health-care system is much lower. A residential

Terrence Quickfall became depressed when his cancer treatments kept him cooped up inside the house. But after joining the day hospice program at May Court, Quickfall says he is in much greater spirits. He visits twice a week to paint, play cards and chat with his friends.

DYING FOR DIGNITY A three-part series about hospice palliative care in Ottawa Part 1: A look at palliative care in the Ottawa area and the need for more resources as the population ages. hospice bed comes in at $400 a day, while a hospital bed is between $800 and $1,200.

But hospice beds are in high demand and the supply isn’t where it should be.

A report by Hospice Care Ottawa states 75 per cent of people with a terminal illness pass away in hospital and only 15 per cent of those patients receive quality end-of-life care.

With a population close to one million people, Ottawa should have 70 hospice beds; that estimate allows for population growth and increasing mortality as the population ages.

But the city only has 17.

As baby boomers age, Ottawa’s seniors are expected to make up 20 per cent of the population by 2030.

The number of deaths are expected to rise from 9,000 to 19,000 a year and 90 per cent of those people could benefit from hospice palliative care at the end of life, according to the re-

port.

Currently, fewer than 300 people have access to hospice palliative care in the city each year.

Although the idea of hospice palliative care isn’t new – home support programs have been available in Ottawa since 1987 and residential hospices since 1997 – the way society thinks about end-of-life-care needs to change.

Instead of focusing on a person’s last days, palliative care needs to begin at the initial stage of diagnosis, says Dr. José Pereira, head of the division of palliative care at the University of Ottawa, and medical chief of the palliative care programs at Bruyère Continuing Care and the Ottawa Hospital.

“We relegate it to the very end and we make the wrong decisions in the meantime. People suffer,” he explains.

“As a society, we still think of pal-

liative as being only the last few days of life. The problem with that is we then miss the opportunity of preparing for the end of life. We miss the opportunity of improving quality of life, of improving symptoms, pain, shortness of breath, etcetera – of having these discussions much earlier,” says Pereira. “This is something that as a society we need to start rethinking.”

In preparation, Ottawa must have resources in place to help people in every aspect of the palliative care continuum – something that is sorely lacking.

“Fifty-two per cent of cancer patients are dying in hospitals,” says Pereira.

The reasons? A lack of preparation and a lack of hospice beds, he says.

Quickfall is one of the lucky ones – receiving the type of quality care that the report says is needed.

See video of Terrence Quickfall’s full story: ottawacommunitynews.com /ottawaregion-video/

“We desperately need more of these day programs, we need more hospice,” says Quickfall. “The baby boomers are coming to the front now, totally unprepared. We never seem to

think these people are going to get old one day. The days are gone when you retired at 65 and died at 66. Now, we retire at 55 and die at 95, and in that 40 years anything can happen.”

CAN’T MEET NEEDS

Until recently, there were only nine beds available at May Court.

Eight more beds were opened earlier this year at the Embassy West Senior Living centre on Carling Avenue.

“We have them full pretty well all the time,” says Hospice Care Ottawa executive director Lisa Sullivan, adding the average length of stay is between 12 to 15 days. “There is definitely a need out there for hospice beds and when we opened more beds, within a couple days they were full again.”

There will be two more beds by October and there are plans to build a 10-bed residential hospice in Kanata by 2016.

But even then, that will only bring Ottawa to less than half of what’s recommended.

Only a year ago, the city was operating two separate hospices: the Friends of Hospice Ottawa and the Hospice at May Court. The two organizations joined forces in an effort to integrate funding and services for the city.

See page 17

DYING FOR DIGNITY Continued from page 16

Currently undergoing rebranding, the organization is now called Hospice Care Ottawa and has been working hard not only to get funding for its $1.7 million operating costs, but also to fill the gaps with other fundraisers and donation opportunities.

Government funding only covers 40 per cent of the hospice’s total costs.

Local health integration networks, which are funded by the province, pay $90,000 per bed – the standard across Ontario.

“When they say $90,000 per bed that just covers the (registered nurse), all those who serve the needs of the patient,” Sullivan says.

That money doesn’t help hospices purchase equipment, run day programs, or offer grief and bereavement counselling.

“We have some services but they really just scratch the surface in terms of meeting the needs of our clients,” says Sullivan. “We can’t meet the needs of everyone in Ottawa. That’s a real area of concern.”

BY THE NUMBERS

Ottawa projected population growth 55+ from 2011 to 2031

75% Three-quarters of all deaths in Canada occur in hospitals and long-term care facilities.

2,565 The number of people admitted to residential hospices in Ontario between March 2012 and March 2013. Of those admitted, 94 per cent died in hospice.

$40,000 The cost of dying in a hospital ranges from $10,223 for a sudden death to $36,652 for terminal illnesses including cancer and $39,937 for organ failure. Up to 70 per cent of the costs for terminal illnesses are due to hospitalizations. It costs around $15,866 for cancer patients to die at home.

We can’t meet the needs of everyone in Ottawa. That’s a real area of concern.

LISA SULLIVAN EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, HOSPICE CARE OTTAWA

The hospice, which includes home-based hospice services, relies on the community to raise the additional 60 per cent to remain open every year through events, monetary donations and grants to pad the funding, says Sullivan.

“It’s a real challenge, but that is why we do things like Hike for the Hospice, Home for the Holidays and Girls Night Out,” says Sullivan about community-based fundraising.

“Without fundraisers, we wouldn’t have the services that we do.”

For the executive director, dying is an important part of living and she says people need options when it comes to end-of-life care.

“If it’s at home, how can we as a community support them for being at home?” asks Sullivan. “The longer we can keep them at the home, connected to the right services, give them the support they need, the less likely they are to go through those emergency doors and end up in a hospital bed.

“If it gets to be too much at home, if the caregivers are exhausted, then they should have the choice of having a hospice bed available to them,” says Sullivan.

PEACEFUL SETTING

Lennox Sterling wanted to die at home.

He was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2008 and as his condi-

tion deteriorated over the next two years, his family had a nurse visit in the evenings to help with his care.

His wife, Kathleen, was his primary caregiver at home. But it became impossible after his chemotherapy was stopped.

“It became a situation where, even though Lennox wanted to pass away at home, he just wasn’t able to because the cancer had spread through his whole body,” says Kathleen.

“I felt fortunate that when the time did come, that May Court had a bed available for him,” she says.

He passed away six days after being admitted to the May Court at the age of 51.

“This was a devastating time in our lives, but to have our loved one cared for by the very special people at May Court in his final days gave us great comfort. We were allowed to be his wife and children without the stress of his daily care. But most importantly, Lennox was allowed to die with dignity,” says Kathleen, who now donates her time fundraising for

the hospice.

“To have that bed available just took that stress away from myself and the kids.

“It just allowed us to be able to spend those last six days with him in a more relaxed, calm, peaceful setting. The people that work at the May Court surround you with their compassion; they’re always there for you. That it just made that journey and those last six days of his life that much easier on us.”

This type of care should be available to everyone who needs it, and that means more resources are needed.

“Hospice care is an integral part of our health system,” says Sullivan.

“We as a society recognize how important it is that dying is part of all our lives and that we create the kind of supports that people need during those last days of their life and make it available and accessible and as peaceful and as close to home as possible.”

Special report by Michelle Nash, Jessica Cunha, Laura Mueller, Blair Edwards and Emma Jackson

1,030 Ontario should have between 900 to 1,030 hospice beds with a population of 13.5 million. Currently there are 231 beds open, 10 in construction and 141 in planning.

$9M The amount of money that would be saved by shifting 10 per cent of patients at end of life from acute hospital care to hospice palliative care. It costs approximately $4,700 per client to provide palliative care in the home, or about one-quarter of the $19,000 cost for acute care.

Next week Part two looks at a new regional program in Ottawa, which aims to make the city a leader in hospice palliative care in the province.

Former Ottawa teacher on the books for alleged sex scandal Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

News - A former Franco-Cité high school teacher faces disciplinary action on Oct. 21. Andréane Hélène Cadieux will face a committee of the Ontario College of Teachers for several infractions, including an alleged sexual relationship with a student.

She taught from 2008 to 2010 at the high school, which is part of the French Catholic board. Franco Cité is located in Ottawa on Smyth Road.

She allegedly exchanged emails and texts of a sexual nature with a student, sent pornographic photos of herself, touched a student sexually, and had a sexual relationship.

The hearing also alleges the student

showed a tattoo on her upper thigh to a student, and offered to pay $600 for a student’s football camp.

It also said that she engaged in inappropriate electronic communication with more than one student and behaved inappropriately when she invited several to her wedding and gave out her cell phone number.

The age of the students involved

have not been published.

The board’s acting director of communications, Céline Bourbonnais, confirmed Cadieux is no longer employed by the board. The school board reported Cadieux to the Ontario College of Teachers in 2010.

Cadieux resigned from her job in April 2010, and her licence was suspended later for non-payment of dues.

Possibile penalties include revoking her teaching certificate, imposing conditions, reprimanding or counselling the teacher, fining up to $5,000, and/or setting a period that she would be ineligible for reinstatement.

She graduated from the University of Ottawa’s teacher’s college in 2008.

Cadieux, reached by phone, said she had no comment on the allegations.

Autumn’s gold

Ottawa’s #1 Ranked Soccer Club

Metcalfe Lions president Mike O’Sullivan helps his fellow Lions hand out cobs of corn at a free corn boil on Wednesday, Sept. 18. The evening included a speech from Senator Vern White and a cheque presentation to the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre.

EMMA JACKSON/METROLAND

In a first for Ottawa soccer, The Ottawa South United 2000 Girls Force Academy Black completed a fantastic soccer season winning their league, the ERSL Cup and the Province. The team dominated league play, compiling a record of 14-0, with a league high goal differential of 83. A similar story took place in ERSL Cup competition, scoring 24 goals and giving up none in four matches.

The road to the Ontario Cup championship, however, proved a tougher task. The team won the tournament round in convincing fashion with 4 wins. In the quarter-finals, the team faced a highlyregarded Whitby squad and managed to come away with a wellearned 3-1 victory. A resilient Eastside Kickers team held the girls to a narrow 1-0 win in the semi-final match. This win set the Ontario Cup Final match between OSU and the Stoney Creek Battalion at the Oshawa Civic Stadium on Saturday. The team had faced the talented Stoney Creek Battalion squad at a tournament earlier in the season and were defeated 3-0. However, the team had gained a lot of experience during the season and had customized their training sessions in preparation for the final. Sporting identical 14-0 records in their individual leagues going into the match, the Championship game ended regulation time in a 1-1 draw, requiring the winner to be decided by penalty kicks. In the end, the Force girls prevailed, winning 3-1 in kicks from the mark. The team became the first Ottawa team to win a girl’s provincial soccer championship in decades.

Congratulations to the girls, Alison, Becky, Emily, Jordyn, Kaleigh, Kathleen, Kory, Logan, Marita, Mei Mei, Melissa, Mollie, Nina, Odessa, Shivani, Sydney, Vanessa and our call-up’s Ariel, Carmen and Olivia for an amazing season. Thanks also to our coaches Widdgin, Bernard, Hilary, Pierce and Paul, our trainers Kathy and Wendy, and our managers Jane and Joanne for an unprecedented season for an Ottawa team.

OSU President Bill Michalopulos added that this “significant success by the Force 2000’s as well as our Force 97’s boys’ victory over the Toronto FC Academy to win the OYSL league, represents a tangible and measurable step forward for youth soccer in Ottawa.

Occurring on OSU’s 10th Year Anniversary as a new club, it’s a testament to the targeted and relentless efforts of OSU to provide the very best for youth soccer development in Canada.”

Fleet of strength Members from the Ottawa Police Service team pull a 36,000-kilogram Air Canada Embraer E-190 aircraft a distance of four metres on Sept. 14. The plane pull challenge at the Ottawa Airport raised $80,000 for Project Clear Skies and the Ottawa Senators Foundation, bringing the total funds raised by plane pull events to $380,000 in eight years.

FALL INTO SAVINGS

No excuses

By Tracey Tong

The event raised more than $2 million for cancer research earlier this month, making headlines across the city.

But some might argue that the real success stories of Ride the Rideau were planted on bike seats at the start line that day.

ceptable compromise for both the parking and public needs.

“I feel the initiative is well thought out and looks promising to the community,” Caron said.

Museum president Meg Beckel said residents’ comments have been considered as much as possible throughout the process and she was pleased to finally be able to show off the plans to the public.

“In January 2012, we just had a blocking diagram of where parking and landscaping could go, with just ideas of what could be in the green space,” Beckel said. “Now we are presenting those ideas.”

The museum announced its plans to make a permanent parking area on the west side of the building at the beginning of 2012.

The plans arose from the significant renovations the museum underwent starting in 2004, which saw the usable space in the building expanded.

That renovation did, however, significantly affect the

parkland to the west side of the building.

At first the space was used as a construction staging site.

Now that the renovations have been completed, the space serves as an overflow parking area.

At the time of the 2012 meeting, residents had hoped the space would be returned to its previous state as green space, but Beckel said demand for parking is far too great and parking on the west side of the building would be made permanent.

According to the museum, it is the second most attended museum in the capital region next to the Canadian Museum of Civilization, but has less parking than all the other museums, with the exception of the Canada Agricultural Museum.

Currently the museum has 192 spots: 96 on the east side and 96 temporary gravel spots on the west side. Construction on the new spots could begin as early as spring 2014, with visitors being able to use the parking space by end of June.

Green living on display across Ottawa region Green Homes showcase expanded to include rural, suburban locations Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

News – What does a condo in the Glebe have in common with a 160year-old farmhouse in Chesterville?

More than you might think: first and foremost, they’re both at the forefront of green living in Ottawa - and this weekend their owners and those of eight other homes across the region will welcome visitors to explore their green initiatives first-hand.

The second-annual Green Homes Showcase hosted by the EnviroCentre, a non-profit group committed to reducing carbon emissions in Ottawa, has been greatly expanded for this year’s event on Saturday, Sept.

28.

Organizer Rabita Sharfuddin said this year’s event has 10 homes – more than double last year’s four – and they are spread across the region from Kemptville to Orléans.

It’s also a self-guided tour this year, which means people can come and go as they please instead of committing to several hours with a guide.

“By having 10 homes in 10 different neighbourhoods it makes it easier to attend,” Sharfuddin said. “And visitors can pick and choose what’s relevant to them.”

She said the 10 homes are all very different from each other, and feature a wide variety of green initiatives.

That will make it easier for homeowners to pinpoint the stops they are most interested in.

“Homeowners can find one that’s similar to their home, visit the home and talk to contractors,” she said.

The tour runs from noon to 4 p.m.

It includes two rural homes – the farmhouse in Chesterville and a solar and geothermal-powered home in Kemptville – and eight urban and suburban locations. These range from a multi-residential co-operative home in Bells Corners to a single family home in Orléans to an infill development in Hintonburg.

Visitors will be guided through the green renovations in each home and will be able to speak directly to homeowners, energy advisors, building professionals and contractors on site.

The goal, Sharfuddin said, is to

encourage residents to make similar green changes in their own homes.

“We’re trying to promote green energy and green living,” she said, noting that such retrofits can benefit not only the environment but also the value of the home.

TOUR STOPS:

• Westboro: single family home at 296 Royal Ave using passive solar design and radiant floor heating; • Hintonburg: 1920’s retrofitted home at 69 Fairmont Ave and an infill project under construction on 15 Garland St.; • Old Ottawa East: solar powered Terra Firma Cohousing Community on 172 Drummond St.; • Orléans: carbon neutral home with solar panels and passive heating and cooling on 854 Lawnsberry Dr.; • Bayshore: single family geothermal and solar microFIT home on 10 Firwood Cres.; • Chesterville: 160-year-old farmhouse with organic farm with geothermal heating and cellulose insulation, located on 3235 County Rd. #11 near Limerick Road; • Kemptville: home with solar tracker system, electricity-free water treatment system and soy-based insulation, located on 651 Boundary Rd.;

SUBMITTED

This 160-year-old Chesterville farmhouse sits on a 120-acre organic farm with a certified forest, man-made pond and on-site bee colony.

Entirely heated and cooled by a geothermal system, this unique property added cellulose insulation and metal roofing to improve energy efficiency, durability and comfort. It will be on display as part of the EnviroCentre’s Green Homes Showcase on Sept. 28.

• Beacon Hill: home with solar, cellulose insulation and bamboo flooring on 493 Tisdale Cres.; • Glebe: new condo built to LEED standards with passive solar design on Bank Street near Wilton Crescent;

CHEO launches Dream of a Lifetime lottery Theft of patio furniture, barbecue set mars 2013 campaign kick-off Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

News – The Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario was hoping to make one lucky winner’s dreams come true even as burglars were making off with some of the dream home’s backyard goodies.

CHEO staff launched this year’s Dream of a Lifetime lottery on Monday, Sept. 16, a day after two people broke into the Manotick mansion’s backyard and stole a patio set and a barbecue in broad daylight.

Sandy Burke, design consultant for Minto’s Mahogany development where the dream home is located, said the thieves were literally stealing from children.

“I don’t know if anyone thought of that, but there’s a big sign out front (labelling it the CHEO dream home),” he said. “Today’s the launch, and there are pieces missing. It’s a special day.”

Police are investigating and Burke said one of the thieves looked right into the security camera, something which hopefully will aid investigators. “We’ll get that taken care of,” he said.

The 5568-square-foot dream home is located off Manotick Main Street in a new development by Minto. It is built in the French provincial style,

Burke said, and includes four bedrooms upstairs – two of which are master bedrooms. A fifth bedroom on the main floor was set up as a games room during the launch. The home also features five bathrooms, several sitting rooms and a large kitchen which boasts an eight-person dining room table and several large stainless steel appliances.

The finished basement feels more like a classy lounge; small pods of seating areas are spread out among the entertainment systems, with a mini kitchen along the wall. Even the kids’ recreation room has its own TV, one of many throughout the house. A personal exercise room completes the picture.

CHEO chief executive Alex Munter joked that he almost missed the launch because he was lost upstairs; and with all the joining rooms, walkin closets and roomy bathrooms, it’s not an unthinkable possibility.

Munter thanked Minto, trade partners and ticket holders for supporting the hospital, which he said is considered in the top six per cent of research hospitals globally in terms of its impact.

“None of that would be possible if not for the donors,” he said. “Kids deserve to be happy, we all feel that.”

Minto communications director Gwen Cox said this is the 13th home

Manotick News EMC - Thursday, September 26, 2013

EMMA JACKSON/METROLAND

Trina and Sean Ryan, with their three-year-old daughter Ava, recount their experiences with CHEO on Sept.

16 as part of the launch of this year’s Dream of a Lifetime lottery. the developer has built for CHEO, and “this is probably the most dazzling we’ve ever done.”

“In a perfect world no kids would have to see the walls inside CHEO,” Cox said, but since that’s not the case, “we’re very grateful that we’re able to help out in this way.”

HOME AWAY FROM HOME

Trina Ryan and her family know all too well how quickly CHEO can become a second home. Ryan, a Kemptville resident, spent many hours in the hospital as a child while her younger sister struggled with congenital heart disease – an experience that inspired her to become a nurse and work at CHEO herself for

a short time.

But Ryan’s experience with CHEO was just beginning.

“Little did I know my husband and I would return to CHEO” as their daughter Ava failed to thrive. At three months of age, Ava suffered extreme discomfort after feeding, and was prone to projectile vomiting.

At three months old, Ava was admitted to CHEO and diagnosed with failure to thrive, severe acid reflux and several food allergies. She stayed at CHEO for five weeks before she was able to come home, although she continued to be closely monitored as an outpatient.

Ava got better, but around her second birthday her parents started to notice different symptoms. One

morning, she was sweating, trembling and difficult to wake up. As a nurse, Ryan recognized the symptoms as hypoglycaemia, and called the ambulance. Ava was recently diagnosed with ketotic hypoglycemia, a rare but serious form of low blood sugar.

“She’s taken a few ambulance rides to CHEO as a result of that,” Ryan said.

The Ryans are this year’s CHEO ambassadors, and the family of four – Ava has a six-month-old sister – recounted their story at the launch. Ava is now a “happy, healthy three-yearold,” Ryan said, and indeed the little girl looked excited for the attention as she showed her CHEO teddy bear to photographers and CHEO staff.

Ryan appealed to the crowd to buy their tickets and support the facility.

“Please help CHEO so they can continue to change lives as they did ours,” she said.

Walk for Dog Guides supports Lions Club program CANDYâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S GIFT

In 2011, Angèle Charlebois, who co-chairs the Ottawa event with Andy Etherington, was the recipient of a hearing ear dog guide named Candy.

Charlebois has a condition called otosclerosis where sounds reaching the eardrum are not conducted to the inner ear.

In 2006 and 2007 she had several reconstructive ear surgeries, which

failed to restore her hearing. Accepting her hearing loss, she applied for a hearing ear dog guide through the Lions Foundation of Canada.

The dogs are trained to respond to the unique needs of each recipient. Candy has been trained to alert Angèle to particular sounds by placing a paw on Angèle. Candy the leads Angèle towards the sound, such as the telephone, door knocking, doorbell, wake up alarm, oven timer, fire

alarm and even the repeated calls of Angèleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Candy has improved my quality of life in more ways than I can count,â&#x20AC;? said Charlebois. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Before Candy came into my life, I would isolate myself from the community and avoid conversations because I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really participate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now I actively communicate with people and I have an important story to tell,â&#x20AC;? Charlebois said.

News - â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole.â&#x20AC;?

When Roger A. Caras spoke these words, he may not have realized how precisely they could apply to the Dog Guide programs offered by the Lion Foundation of Canada.

The foundation sponsors the development and training of six dog guides programs including dogs for people who are visually impaired, deaf or hard of hearing, have a medical or physical disability, suffer from seizures, have autism or who have diabetes.

Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lions clubs will host the 3rd Annual National Capital Purina Walk for Dog Guides on Sunday, Oct. 6.

Registration for the walk begins at noon at Ă&#x2030;cole Secondaire Publique De La Salle, 501 St. Patrick St. in the Rockcliffe area.

The five-kilometre hike will start at 1 p.m. from the school and will continue through the walking paths of Bordeleau and New Edinburgh parks, along St. Patrick St. to Porters Island.

Participants can enjoy a reception and light refreshments at the Rockcliffe Retirement Residence with a proclamation by Mayor Jim Watson.

The day includes a complimentary photo of each participant and their dog.

From birth to placement, the specialized development and training costs about $20,000 per dog, at which point the foundation gives the dog to its recipient at no cost.

This gift is made possible through

partnering with NestlĂŠ Purina PetCare Canada and the local Lions Clubs across Canada who host dog walk fundraising events.

To date there are more than 250 events held annually which have collectively raised more than $9 million toward the program.

Teenager hopeful for kidney transplant Kidney Walk ambassador leading the way to raise money, awareness Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

News - Kassie Stephen just wants what most 19-year-olds want: to go to college, be able to go out with her friends, maybe join a soccer team.

But Stephen’s life is far from normal. Because she lives with kidney failure, she takes a handful of pills four times a day, carefully measuring so she doesn’t go over the one litre of fluids she can consume every 24 hours.

And she knows the bus

route back and forth from the hospital with her eyes closed, as she goes three times a week for several hours of dialysis.

“Being a teenager, it sucks because all my friends go out,” she said. “I kind of had to grow up fast. I can’t have much of a social life.”

The bubbly Orléans teenager recently graduated from Cairine Wilson Secondary School – it took an extra year on account of all the time she missed while having dialysis.

She has high hopes for the future.

She’s proud of being accepted to all three of the colleges she applied to last year, deferring her acceptance in the hopes she’ll get a kidney. Stephen wants the full college experience and is willing to wait until her Friday nights aren’t spent hooked up to the dialysis machines. She also worried she would pay expensive post-secondary tuition, only to have to leave mid-semester if a donor kidney comes avail-

able.

And she gets excited when she talks about playing soccer again, and maybe learning to play hockey too.

Kidney disease has been part of Stephen’s life as long as she can remember. She was diagnosed with kidney disease when she was young.

“They told my parents they didn’t think I’d live to be 10 years old,” she said.

She began home dialysis as a youth, working her way up from eight hours a day to being on the machines 16 hours a day. It left her time only to go to school, and nothing else.

“I got told dialysis isn’t working - you need a transplant soon,” Stephen said.

“Within a month I got a call (that there was a match).”

The then 14-year-old had a kidney transplant, and was able to go back to living a normal life.

On a family trip to P.E.I nine months later, she fell ill.

It was her body rejecting the

She started in-hospital dialysis three times a week at CHEO until she turned 18, when she transferred to the Riverside Hospital.

Now she keeps a pager close at hand, in case a kidney is found. It’s gone off two or three times, but none of them worked out.

“It sucks because you get really excited - your heart stops,” she said. “But if it didn’t help me, it’s going to help someone else, so it’s ok.”

LOOKING UP

Right now, Stephen holds onto the hope that her mother will be able to donate a kidney.

She was previously a match, but didn’t meet the weight criteria to be a donor.

Her mom has been working

to lose weight, and recently had gastric bypass surgery to help her along. She has already lost 80 pounds.

Within the next year, Stephen expects the process to be able to start to try and get a donor kidney from her mother.

If she is cleared to be a kidney donor, the first step will be to make sure she’s still a match. Because Stephen had a kidney transplant already, what was a match before her 2008 transplant may not be a match now.

But if it’s not a match, they may be able to take part in a cross-matching program – where her mother could donate a kidney to another patient with a willing donor, and that donor would donate to Stephen.

After that all happens, she said her life could go “back to

She’ll have her own delegation too, with a large crew of her family and mom’s coworkers attending the Sept. 29 Ottawa event.

They participated in the walk last year, and she plans to work on some of her own fundraisers for the Kidney Foundation in the future.

Scratch proved her worth as a house cat

L

ifestyle - As far as Mother was concerned, there were no â&#x20AC;&#x153;ifs, ands, or butsâ&#x20AC;? about it when it came to having pets in the house.

They belonged in the barn, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all there was to it.

The barn cats had litters, it seemed to me back then, every time the weather changed.

Every time a new batch of kittens came on the scene, I begged Mother to let me keep at least one in the house for a pet. I promised I would look after it. It would never wander through the rooms and I would feed it myself, so there would be no spots on the kitchen floor, which Mother kept as clean as a whistle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No cats in the house,â&#x20AC;? she would say each time I asked.

So I would have to play with them in the barns, where they were allowed to wander freely, some in the cow byre, some in the stable and often one or two in where Father kept the sheep.

I would make sure they all had fresh milk every day and, of course, I gave them all names.

They came in all colours, but mostly they were grey or black with white spots. One batch produced one that was golden

For 25 years the Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Aid Foundation of Ottawa (CAFO) has supported the important work of the Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Aid Society of Ottawa by providing educational and enrichment opportunities to children, youth and families in our community.

Since 1988, CAFO has provided $3.2M of direct support to 6,400 children, youth and families. This support would not have been possible without our caring and compassionate community.

For the past 25 years, community support has allowed CAFO to: s PROVIDE - IN BURSARIES TO current and former Crown wards to support their dream of a postsecondary education; s SEND CHILDREN TO CAMP s PROVIDE ESSENTIAL ITEMS SUCH AS CRIBS

high chairs and beds to 1,100 families to ensure children are safe and well cared for; s ALLOW CHILDREN AND YOUTH TO participate in a sports or recreational activity to help build skills, conďŹ dence and character; and s PROVIDE PROFESSIONAL TUTORING FOR children, so they may improve their math and literacy skills.

Emerson said it looked like its mother had been scared by a fox, whatever that meant. To me it was the most beautiful kitten I had ever seen.

But it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look like its mother had much love for it.

To me it always seemed to be pushed aside, away from the other kittens. Neglected, it got thinner and thinner. Emerson said it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t long for this world and the best thing that could happen to it was to put it in a grain sack and take to the Bonnechere River.

Needless to say that sent me into fits of crying and I begged Mother to let me keep it in the house until it had grown a bit.

I even promised to knit an extra dishcloth without being asked, a task I likened to cleaning the outhouse.

Finally, Mother relented. It

would have to be kept in a box at night. I would have to take it outside to â&#x20AC;&#x153;do its businessâ&#x20AC;? and it would only be in the house until it was able to fend for itself out in the barn.

I was so happy and that night I printed in my diary that for the first time ever, I was allowed to have a baby kitten in the house.

I called it Scratch because it loved to scratch on the side of the cardboard box which was its home through the night. It grew and flourished and every day Mother would warn me that soon it would have to join the other cats in the barn.

The litter was born early in the fall and as the nights got colder I was eternally grateful that Scratch was in a warm spot to sleep.

Just before I went to bed every night I took Scratch outside and then put her into the

0328.R0011989290

cardboard box. She was growing so fast with my tender love and care that soon she would outgrow her night bed.

Then one morning, even before I was out of bed, I heard Mother let a scream out of her that I was sure could be heard across the Twenty Acre Field.

I tore downstairs, not knowing what to expect and there was Scratch sound asleep outside the box and beside her, half mutilated, were two very dead mice.

Now, if there was anything Mother hated more than the common house fly or pet animals in the house, it was a mouse! She was sure they carried germs. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t so much that she was afraid of them, it was just that she thought they were the dirtiest critters on earth.

There was little hope of keeping them out of the house, in spite of the countless traps spaced around the floor.

Well, it was obvious how the mice had come to meet their maker. Scratch had done them in â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that was obvious. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what changed Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mind about having a pet in the house.

Scratch, as long as she was â&#x20AC;&#x153;earning her keep,â&#x20AC;? was allowed to spend the nights in the cardboard box in the kitchen. She spent most of the winter there that year, but the day came when Scratch herself wanted to be out in the barns.

She had grown full size and remained the only cat with the odd colouring.

She sneaked around unheard and ignored the other cats completely. I wondered if there was more truth than poetry to what Emerson claimed â&#x20AC;&#x201C; maybe there was a bit of fox-blood running through her veins.
