Via Rail siding construction catches residents off-guard erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Riverside Park residents whose homes back onto a Via Rail line where a side track is now being built are calling on the Crown corporation to put the breaks on the project until their questions are answered.

Via Rail representatives apologized to about 60 residents during a community meeting at the Riverside

Churches on May 21 for not notifying them sooner about its plans to construct a $2.5-million, 762-metre-long railway siding along a section of track between Riverside Drive and Walkley Road.

Via is in the process of constructing the siding in the Riverside Park community to provide a spot where trains can meet. It’s designed to mitigate signal glitches that have plagued traffic-heavy cross-

ings in Barrhaven, where trains have been meeting. Construction is expected to wrap up in August.

During the meeting, Marc Beaulieu, chief transportation and safety officer at Via Rail, offered residents a “sincere apology for the frustration we generated by giving you very short notice for the work we’ve undertaken in your neighbourhood.”

But the apology was not enough for many residents who say too many of their questions were left unanswered during the meeting, including why it is important for Via to construct the siding at what it says is the midpoint between the Ottawa and Fallowfield stations, what will be the impact on property values, which alternate sites were considered, as well as concerns ranging from train whistle noise to damage to homes during construction to potenErin McCracken/Metroland tial safety risks from possible Riverside Park residents Erik Wessman, left, and Bill Baird, are among dozens of homeowners faulty signals at the new site. who have asked Via Rail to halt construction of a side track behind their properties until they

Headlines from Ottawa’s newspapers in the 1930s will come to life as the Ottawa Storytellers bring their travelling tent show to city museums.

The Front Page will be at four sites across the city on four different dates, including May 29 at Billings Estate National Historic Site.

The approximately 90-minute show will tell six different stories that were on the front pages of the Ottawa Citizen and the Ottawa Journal in the ’30s.

“It’s just amazing the things you’d find on the front page,” said Patrick Holloway, the publicity and marketing co-ordinator.

“They’re all true stories, all from the front page.”

He put time in at the archives to dig up the old copies of the newspaper and find stories worth telling alongside director Gail Anglin.

The six stories will be told individually, each with a musical performance.

One of the stories they’ll tell will be the story of the Dionne quintuplets, who were born at 1934, and their father’s unsuccessful attempt to showcase them at the Chicago World Fair.

A more colourful story that was pulled from the news pages by the show writers is that of the Kiwanis Club bringing a fan dancer – who some considered a stripper – to Ottawa.

“The story of the stripper coming to town allowed me to also tell the story of the Chicago World Fair,” Holloway

said.

“She’d been a silent film star and when the talkies came in, she had a horrible, squeaky voice,” Anglin said.

“She said, ‘I know, I’ll take my clothes off.’”

They’ll also tell the stories of Hitler’s rise to power, and the kidnapping of the Lindbergh baby.

Actors and musicians in the play are primarily volunteers; each member of the 10-person cast only receives a small honorarium for each show, which mostly covers travel, Anglin said.

The Ottawa Storytellers aren’t new to re-enacting history; the shows they put on always have a historical element.

“It’s education and entertainment,” Holloway said. “With a focus on entertainment.”

It’s the first time the travelling tent show will actually leave Billings Estate and travel to other parts of the city.

The crew will set up the tent outdoors at each of the city museums for the show. Tickets to the show are $15 at the door, and each show is at 7 p.m .

SHOW schedule

• May 29: Billings Estate National Historic Site, 2100 Cabot St., 7 p.m.

• May 30: Cumberland Heritage Village Museum, 2940 Old Montreal Rd. • June 12: Fairfields Heritage House, 3080 Richmond Rd. (cash only) • June 13: Pinhey’s Point Historic Site, 270 Pinhey’s Point Rd. (cash only).

“Police disperse them to local officers and community relations officers and it works really well,” said Mac’s Convenience Store loss prevention co-ordinator Dion Angelini.

Ottawa community police officer Const. Jean Paul Vincelette said the city’s law enforcement community has embraced the positive reinforcement campaign.

During the launch of Operation Heat last December, Ottawa police handed out 200 vouchers for free Mac’s hot drinks.

“There was a lot of interest.

Many officers, school resource officers and patrol officers have approached me since the program was initiated to get more tickets,” Vincelette said.

“You give a ticket to a youth and you say ‘You know what man, pay it forward,’ and paying it forward can only mean good things in the community.”

Megan DeLaire

Police were waiting for lunching high school students outside of a Mac’s Convenience store on Alta Vista Drive on May 26 to hand out tickets — for free Froster slush drinks.

Ottawa police gave the vouchers to area teens as part of the provincial launch of Operation Freeze, a campaign in partnership with Mac’s stores in which patrol officers across Ontario reward good deeds by youth with a cool treat. Starting on May 26 and continuing through the summer, officers will give vouchers for free Froster drinks to kids and teens they see participating in community activities, picking up trash, deterring crime or observing school crossing rules.

Ottawa airport stages inaugural multi-agency canine training Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

If you happened to be passing through the Ottawa International Airport late last month, you likely noticed more dogs than usual sniffing around the premises.

The airport recently hosted up to 19 law enforcement teams of canines and their handlers from Canada, the U.S., and one from Madagascar, during a three-day training workshop from April 28 to 30.

It was the first multi-agency law enforcement seminar the authority has hosted.

“The authority’s canine

in this manner,” James Armstrong, the authority’s director of security, said in a news release.

The workshop, held in partnership with the Canadian Police Canine Association, gave the teams the chance to learn the latest techniques in canine training.

“The training included advanced exposure to behavior shaping, utilizing the premise of the marked behaviortraining system and enhancing drive-and-detection techniques,” Krista Kealey, airport authority spokeswoman, told Metroland Media.

The teams nosed around the public areas of the airport as well as behind the scenes, allowing them to work in “a challenging and diverse environment well-suited to training of this nature,” according to the airport’s management.

The airport also has its own in-house canine unit of handlers and dogs, which Mark Laroche, airport au-

thority president and chief executive officer, said is “an important and visible component of the airport’s overall security program.”

“Staying on the leading edge of training methods and protocols contributes to meeting our strategic goal of ensuring safe, secure operations,” Laroche said in the statement.

Its canine team has a potentially new recruit: sixmonth-old Jet, a Belgian Malinois arrived on April 19 from Madagascar, where he was born, Kealey said.

The pup also took part in the recent workshop.

“Jet has not officially joined the team as yet – he is going through assessments and testing to ensure that he is suitable to begin the training program, and the bar is high,” Kealey said of the canine, whose name was chosen in a social media campaign that attracted more than 1,300 suggestions through Twitter, Facebook and email.

Riverside South resident William Dansereau, middle, was recognized on May 21 for his rescue of a fellow competitive swimmer last summer. Community and Protective Services chairwoman Coun. Diane Deans and Ontario Lifesaving Society president Paul Hulford presented the Ottawa lifeguard with the Lifesaving Society Rescue Award of Merit before the committee meeting got underway at city hall.

Mooney’s Bay lifeguard wins rescue award Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

When William Dansereau started his paddle board race at the 2014 Seniors Lifesaving Championships in Toronto last August, he didn’t expect to actually have to rescue anyone.

The Mooney’s Bay lifeguard was in first place in his heat when he noticed a fellow competitor floating on his back, conscious but unmoving.

Thinking quickly, Dansereau used a paddleboard technique to roll the swimmer onto his board and stabilize him until a police boat could get there. He then helped police transfer the swimmer onto the boat.

Amazingly, the Riverside South teen still managed to place second.

For his efforts, Dansereau was recently awarded the Livesaving Society Rescue Award of Merit from the Ontario chapter during a committee meeting at city hall on May 21.

Dansereau is a city lifeguard at Mooney’s Bay beach during the summer, and an indoor lifeguard at the Nepean Sportsplex in the winter months.

Ontario Lifesaving Society president Paul Hulford congratulated Dansereau at the meeting, calling him an “outstanding representative” of lifeguards across the country.

“Your rescue intervention perfectly illustrates the Lifesaving Society’s motto: ‘Whomsoever you see in distress, recognize in him a fellow man,’” Hulford said.

He said that drowning incidents are trending downwards

in Ontario, but it continues to be a major issue, particularly for kids.

It is the leading cause of preventable death for children ages one to four, and the second leading cause for kids under 10, he said.

But there’s been significant progress. According to the society’s 2014 annual report, drowning incidents dropped 23 per cent compared to 2013 in Ontario – a change partly attributed to the long winter and cooler temperatures in 2014.

No children under five drowned in Ontario in 2014 compared to five deaths in 2013, and the number of drowning deaths for children under 19 was cut in half between 2013 and 2014.

About 500 Canadians die from preventable water-related incidents every year.

The Environmental Assessment Act has provisions that allow interested persons to ask for a higher level of assessment for this project if they feel that there are outstanding issues that have not been adequately addressed by the City. This higher level of assessment is referred to as a Part II Order request. Such requests must be addressed in wri ng to the Minister of the Environment and Climate Change, the Honourable Glen Murray, and received no later than June 19, 2015 at the following address: 11th Floor, Ferguson Block, 77 Wellesley Street West, Toronto, Ontario, M7A 2T5 (email: minister.moe@ontario.ca, phone: 416-314-6790, fax: 416-314-6748). Please note that a duplicate copy of the Part II Order request must also be sent to the City of O awa at the address noted above.

If there are no outstanding concerns a er June 19, 2015, the project will be considered to have met the EA requirements and construc on will proceed.

Informa on will be collected in accordance with the Freedom of Informa on and Protec on of Privacy Act. With the excep on of personal informa on, all comments will become part of the public record.

The price is wrong

W

hen a group of residents has difficulty spending almost $250,000, a warning light should go off.

That light should be going off down at city hall regarding the plight of the Ottawa East Community Association, which can’t seem to spend its kitty of cash-in-lieu of parkland funds to save itself. It’s a tale that has shed light on a bureaucracy run wild.

Residents always have something that needs to be added, upgraded or fixed in their community.

Fortunately, in growing cities like Ottawa there is a steady stream of money set aside by developers to provide for community benefits such as playgrounds, field houses, splash pads and the like. Old Ottawa East has seen its fair share of development in recent years, and had amassed about $241,000 to be used in the community.

The association board looked at building a soccer field in Brantwood Park (estimated cost $300,000), a billboard on Lees Avenue ($5,667), and a concrete ping pong table for Brantwood ($17,000).

None of these prices, which were quoted to them by city staff as such projects are managed by the city, were anywhere near representing value for money.

A concrete ping pong table built in Toronto, for example, would only cost around $5,600 to install.

The cause of these inflated costs, it would seem, is that city staff have a number of considerations to make outside of simply procuring and building such projects. The ping pong table, for example, would need to be made accessible, meaning providing pathways, ramps and the like in addition to just building a ping pong table. There were soil remediation issues in Brantwood as well. For a ping pong table.

This is significant. If the costs of civic projects like these are being inflated by bureaucracy, even well-intentioned bureaucracy, that needs to change.

No ping pong table in Ottawa should cost more than three times what it costs in Toronto.

A well-run city would see money spent on public goods represent fair value for those scarce dollars.

It’s questionable whether Ottawa is such a city.

Our fascination with political scandal

I

s it all Ottawa or just me that’s waiting impatiently for the Duffy trial to resume? Is it all Ottawa or is it just me that will miss it when it’s all over?

I think it’s all Ottawa.

It’s a classic Ottawa story. How much of an Ottawa story it is you can tell by looking at how perfunctory the coverage is outside of the city.

While all of Canada was excited for a time when the story first broke, it is only here that the trial is being covered in exhaustive detail.

For example, the Globe and Mail, based in Toronto and calling itself Canada’s national newspaper, devotes only a few column inches to the trial each day, sometimes relying on wire services rather than its own reporters, whereas the Ottawa Citizen

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town gives it at least a full page, including vivid commentary by the inimitable Christie Blatchford.

So why do we like the story so much? Well, begin with the fact that it has everything -- a celebrity defendant, high-level political connections, a fall from grace, hints of a cover-up and more than a few of the seven deadly sins. Not that I can remember exactly what they are, but vanity is there, and pride; greed is alleged, not to mention attempting to hoodwink.

And geography! Canadians love geography and geography is central to the case. Where do people live?

Where do people say they live?

Adding to the attraction is a canny defence lawyer and the reader can follow along with him as he pulls one trick after another out of his pocket as he tries to outwit the prosecution.

To add another point that has been made in reference to other scandals, the dollar amounts involved are small enough to be meaningful.

A few hundred here, $75 there. If there is fudging, it is fudging on a human scale. We can understand it, in a way that we cannot understand billions -- or even millions. You can remember how the career of a Canadian politician was torpedoed in part because a $16 orange juice showed

up on her expense account, or how Brian Mulroney’s public esteem was lowered over reports that he owned 50 pairs of Gucci loafers.

We yawn at billions, but $16 hits us hard. You can spend as many millions as you want on helicopters, but don’t you dare own too many shoes.

With all of the drama the trial contains, all the universal elements, you would think it surprising that the most devoted following is a local one, but there are some possible explanations. For one thing, we here may be more fascinated by the possible political consequences of the trial than are people in other parts of the country. Politics is our game.

But there is something else. People outside the Queensway, as they say, are not as shocked by the case as are people here. The rest of Canada thinks that the type of behaviour alleged happens here all the time. It’s just the way Ottawa is.

We know better. We know that we are honest, hard-working people here, even in the Senate, so we are genuinely taken aback when allegations emerge that seem to indicate otherwise. But at least we get to enjoy the trial.

No room at the inn - or our house Capital Muse breakfast because we had a guest in the house. I wondered on more than one occasion if it was fair to talk mom into eating a tomato-based pasta dinner three nights a week.

And then there was the dirt.

I cleaned the house before she came. I vacuumed, scrubbed the bathroom, and even purchased a new, non-water stained shower curtain. Within a day of kids tramping through the house in soccer cleats, leaving clothes about, scrubbing their garden-dirty fingers and spitting toothpaste remnants all over the sink, the house looked completely unkempt. Mom didn’t say anything, but I wondered if she wondered why I did nothing about the dirt. Except that I did do something: I fretted all week that my house guest would realize we necessarily exist in utter filth from Sunday to Saturday, when we finally get around to vacuuming and scrubbing bathrooms again.

The thing is, my kids are

in Ottawa, what to do about all the cars is top of mind as well.

Councillors and staff are always looking for ways to make commutes easier, streets safer and neighbourhoods friendlier...”, one has to wonder if you, and those councillors and staff, actually drive city streets.

The issue of synchronizing traffic lights has been brought up in the past but nothing has been done.

Nothing.

Just have the people responsible for traffic management go down Innes Road towards the west between Blair

and Startop roads for a good wake-up call.

Also, try Kent Street in the morning going towards downtown. Additional traffic lights are installed to resolve any and all traffic issues, it seems.

Have city councillors and their staff driven Innes Road during rush hour? Have they noticed that Ottawa is the city where motorists are always stopped?

Have they seen the traffic lights that require a flashing green light or a turning arrow for a left hand turn at all hours of the day?

Why?

her, but I wasn’t comfortable at all.

For 10 days, I felt like I was walking on eggshells. Every time mom would empty a dishwasher or rinse out the coffee maker – to be helpful – I’d become devastatingly aware of my lax housekeeping skills. Each time she’d respond overwhelmingly to my three-year-old daughter’s scraped knee, caught finger or discomforting hiccups, I’d be made aware that unless somebody’s bleeding or broken, I’m unlikely to react to injuries. And when the kids argued, I pretty much ignored them, while she tried – and often succeeded – to play peacemaker. She wasn’t doing any of these things to judge me – she was being helpful -- but I was judging myself, for 10 days straight.

Having an overnight guest on extended stay made me feel cramped, yes, but worse, it made me incredibly self-critical. I’d wake up and realize that cereal probably wasn’t a good enough

messy and noisy and at various times one will overreact to a scraped knee or a bad Pokemon trade. My survival mechanism is to pick my battles. That includes responding to the emotional and physical distresses of my children, as well as the dust bunnies that collect under our 120-yearold piano. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday spaghetti night is often the only way we can manage summer sports, two parents working and meals on a budget.

I refuse to do dishes multiple times per day, so I’ve become comfortable leaving things on the counter or in the sink until the designated hour.

Sadly, these habits really aren’t house guest friendly.

When I host people, I want things to be tidy and organized and comfortable. We can’t do this. We’re messy and we have no space. We no longer have a guest room. (My home office has been relegated to a cubicle in the basement). Kids sharing beds and bedrooms for an extended period amplifies the daily chaos.

Like my friend, I’m putting my foot down: You can come and visit, but you can’t stay overnight. It’s nothing personal, but I just can’t manage another body in the house, which officially became the house of crazy when my husband and I became outnumbered by children. You are, however, welcome to set up a tent in the backyard -- just make sure you bring your Coleman stove.

few years ago, my friend put her foot down: You can come and visit but you can’t stay overnight with us.

I get it. We’re a family of five now. We’ve officially outgrown a single hotel room. If we come to your house, we’re taking over.

My family can, fortunately, fit into a sedan again, now that the older kids are out of booster seats. But we can’t fit into your house, unless it’s empty.

Over the last six months, however, we’ve run into a new challenge: In our 1,200-squarefoot house, with two extremely tall and active school-aged boys and a pre-schooler who adores pulling clothes out of drawers (just to try them on), the five of us have brought our own house to capacity. We’ve thought about upsizing, but we don’t want to increase our mortgage and we don’t want to move out of the neighbourhood we’ve called home for 10 years.

With a large family, a small house and a strict budget, however, we also don’t want any more overnight house guests.

In the latest string of visits, a single and relatively helpful house guest, my mother, came from overseas to live with us for 10 days. We shuffled kids’ rooms around to create a little suite for her, including a couch and a view of the garden in May. We wanted her to have a retreat from our belligerent family. She said she was comfortable, God love

Because only two or three cars are able to turn and wait times are horrible.

And what about lights that go red when there are no cars waiting?

New aprons, pinnys were a tradition each year

M

other blamed it all on a busy winter.

There always seemed to be something to do when the icy blasts of the long cold nights pounded the old log house, things that prevented Mother from a winter job that didn’t get done that year. And that was sewing up a batch of new aprons.

Other years, the old singer sewing machine stood at the ready: for those few minutes Mother could squeeze into an evening, when she would churn out another pinny, and sometimes she could make at least two on a quiet evening.

But that year, the quilt frame stayed in the kitchen against the north wall until the winter was over. Most

MARY COOK Memories nights it was rolled out and Mother and Audrey stitched after supper, sometimes until it was time to go to bed. So the sewing up of a fresh batch of aprons had to wait.

Now it was time.

Flour bags from the mill in Renfrew had been washed, soaked in javel water, washed a few times

more, and stretched out on the clothesline to dry. They had been split open and Mother was able to get most of the coloured printing out of them. The stubborn ones which refused to give up their “pride of the valley” lettering would be made into everyday tea towels, and sometimes, bloomers for me, which

DEVELOPMENT APPLICATIONS / AMENDMENTS UNDER THE PLANNING ACT NOTICE OF AGRICULTURE AND RURAL AFFAIRS COMMITTEE MEETING

caused me great embarrassment if anyone accidentally saw the printing when I had to bend over.

Aprons, or pinnys, as we called them, were as important as the braided rugs on the floor.

Flour bags made up the bulk of the aprons, but once a year Mother went to Walker’s Store in Renfrew and bought a few yards of a heavy white cotton that came on a long roller, not folded like the many bolts of Dan River cotton on the shelves, and this material was turned into longer aprons, which I thought at the time were made for someone at least six feet tall. They covered your entire body, from your neck to below your knees and for me that meant right to the floor, with a good portion about my feet like a bed sheet.

I had to wear one of these long pinnys when I churned butter, covering me from my chin to my ankles. Mother

wore a clean one every day, because even if there wasn’t a spot on it, it had to be changed for a clean fresh one when she started her day. One of these long pinnys hung on a nail at the back door too, just in case some unexpected visitor came calling. It would never do to greet someone in anything but a freshly washed and ironed pinny.

If there was any of this store-bought cotton left over, a few bibbed aprons, and half aprons were made and these were trimmed with pieces of Dan River cotton. Mother even made smaller aprons for me, and I was expected to wear one no matter what chore I was doing in the house. An apron was necessary, and that’s all there was to it.

When Father was cooking up a meal of his German foods, he too, of course, had to wear a long white pinny. His wasn’t to cover his clothes and keep them free

of flying grease, but rather to give him something to wipe his hands on when he was stirring the pans and pots on the stove. By the time his meal was ready, the apron was ready for the wash.

My favourite aprons were the ones with bibs, which had a frill around them, always in a contrast to the apron itself.

These were considered “company” aprons.

Besides the one alwaysclean white apron that hung at the back door in case of unexpected company, all the aprons were kept in a washstand under the window looking out into the back yard.

Why we needed so many aprons was beyond me.

And when Monday washday rolled around, it was a common sight to see at least a half dozen long white pinnys, one or two “company” aprons, and a couple half aprons on the clothes line, all hanging in order of course.

Aprons were as necessary as flour-bag underwear back then, and expected to be just as spotless. Both very much a symbol of the times.

The purpose of this Open House is to introduce the project and gather information on community traffic issues from neighbourhood residents as well as all interested parties. Your comments will assist in the understanding of traffic concerns as well as in the development of alternative plans for technical evaluation and future recommendations.

Please join City staff and Councillor Diane Deans to provide your input and learn more. Your comments are welcome and encouraged at any point during this study. Open house boards will be posted at ottawa.ca/blossomparkwest.

Great leaders make the difference in the City’s summer camps!

Summer is a great time to have adventures and try new things. The City of Ottawa offers a wide variety of affordable summer camps that foster creativity, curiosity, independence, sharing, cooperation, participation, responsibility, leadership, team work, and an active lifestyle!

Our leaders are multi-talented and well trained, so parents can have confidence that their camper will have a rewarding experience. Some of our leaders have been campers themselves and bring their unique expertise to the programs. Supervisor’s at all levels have been involved in camps and aquatic programs and understand that safety is a big factor when programming for groups. All staff is trained in first aid and CPR, emergency procedures, AODA and risk assessment.

Happy parents report: ‘My son had another amazing year and thoroughly enjoyed his experience. He met friends, learned new ideas and skills; experienced a variety of activities and just plain old had a fun time. The team does a great job in creating an inclusive environment that allows all kids and all personalities to thrive.’

Stem cell research in Canada and at the Ottawa Hospital’s General campus recently received a $1-million boost.

Sandra Henderson, senior vice-president of BMO Financial Group’s eastern Ontario division, and Tim Kluke, president and chief executive officer of the Ottawa Hospital Foundation, unveiled a plaque at the General campus on May 21 marking the new name of regenerative medicine scientist Dr. Duncan Stewart’s lab as the BMO Financial Group Laboratory in honour of the bank’s financial contribution.

Recipients say the money will go a long way to supporting the work of researchers at the hospital, who are credited with many world firsts in stem cell research, including the use of stem cells for post-heart attack repair – which Stewart and his team are working on – as well as a world-first trial in septic shock and work being done on stiff person’s syndrome.

“It’s a really special day,” said Kluke, adding the funds will support the hospital’s $50million research campaign.

“Your support is really a key cornerstone of that campaign and our success,” he said.

“We hope to raise $15 million for regenerative medicine.”

The $1-million investment includes a $500,000 donation to the Ottawa Hospital’s Regenerative Medicine Program at the General campus’ Sinclair Centre, and $500,000 to the Canadian Stem Cell Foundation, of which $250,000 will go to the hospital’s Regenerative Medicine Program for new research initiatives and $250,000 will help fund the stem

cell foundation’s research activities across Canada.

“By Canadian standards, that’s probably one of the largest corporate gifts specifically directed to stem cell research in regenerative medicine in the country,” said James Price, president and chief executive officer of the Canadian Stem Cell Foundation, which works with research centres all across the country.

Canada is a leader in stem cell research, just as the Ottawa Hospital is, he said.

Stem cells were first discovered by Canadian scientists 50 years ago, and over the past 40 years, Canada has made some of the most significant research advancements, such as in the specialty areas of neuro, skin, retinal and muscle stem cells.

“So Canada has really punched well above its weight and is really something we as Canadians can be proud of,” Price said, adding the country is well positioned for the next wave of research advancements.

“It’s really an exciting time where it’s moving into clinical practice,” Price said, noting that one of the pioneers in the field is the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute.

The million-dollar gift is about “investing in the future,” said Henderson with BMO. “And that’s why research for us is something that we’re interested in.

“As the generations go on, it’s important for us to give back to the people we work with, we live with, who are in our communities.”

The Ottawa Hospital’s Regenerative Medicine Program has 250 scientists, research staff and trainees working at the Sinclair Centre for Regenerative Medicine and the Sprott Centre for Stem Cell Research, where important discoveries are being made in the development of new therapies for devastating diseases.

‘It’s important for research to move forward:’ cancer survivor Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

When the headaches started two years ago, Denis Raymond passed them off “just a migraine – just very long lasting.”

But when he began experiencing hiccups that lasted 24 hours a day, he sought medical help.

The hiccups turned out to be a symptom of pressure in his brain, caused by a glioblastoma multiforme tumour the size of a baseball, one of the most deadliest forms of brain cancer.

Surgery on the then 26year-old’s front right temporal lobe took place the day after his diagnosis. Radiation soon followed at the Ottawa Hospital’s cancer centre at the General campus.

Chemotherapy began around the same time he started a clinical trial, in which non-invasive electrode stickers are attached to his scalp. The electrodes, which are battery-powered,

produce a magnetic field that is sent through his brain to disrupt cancer cells from multiplying.

The Somerset resident will continue wearing his medical device 24 hours a day for another four months.

His MRI scans and follow-

“As it stands right now, everyone’s expecting me to live with brain cancer for the rest of my life, however short or long that’s going to be.”

Denis Raymond,

up assessments have provided good news, and Raymond is taking life – and enjoying it – one day at a time.

“Unfortunately, there’s no known cure. There’s no way

to be in remission … from GBM, and with the available treatments right now there’s still no cure,” said Raymond, now 28.

“It’s important for research to move forward. As it stands right now, everyone’s expecting me to live with brain cancer for the rest of my life, however short or long that’s going to be.”

Despite the uncertainty he faces, he remains positive and has “a lot of hope” thanks largely to his support system.

During his address at the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation’s ninth Cancer Champions Breakfast fundraiser at the Ottawa Conference and Event Centre on May 20, Raymond credited his support system: his parents, girlfriend, friends and principal at Astolot Educational Centre, a private elementary and high school in Old Ottawa South, where Raymond teaches.

Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation/Submitted

Somerset resident and brain cancer survivor Denis Raymond shared a message of hope and inspiration during the ninth Cancer Champions Breakfast at the Ottawa Conference and Event Centre on May 20. The event raised more than $300,000 to allow the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation to fund its Cancer Coaching program, as well as cancer research and local clinical trials.

Cancer experts, survivors, benefactors raise funds for trials, research Continued from page 14

He also shone the spotlight on the foundation’s Cancer Coaching program, which pairs cancer experts with patients and their families to provide them with individualized support and a bounty of information.

“It allowed me to speak with a person who knew the resources that were out there, who was able to put me in contact with the people I needed to be in contact with in order to get the support that I needed and … keep my health,” Raymond said.

The foundation also funds clinical trials and research in Ottawa, allowing patients like Raymond to access the latest cancer treatments closer to home.

He shared his message of hope during the breakfast, which raised at least $303,000, including a $42,000 gift from an anonymous donor, in support of the foundation’s Cancer Coaching program, as well as its financing of cancer research and local clinical trials.

“When my father had cancer we didn’t have clinical trials in Ottawa,” said Gregory Sanders, chairman of the Cancer Champions Breakfast, who also sits on the foundation’s board of directors.

Sanders, a Rockcliffe resident and tax lawyer, was just 28 years old when his father lost his four-year battle to prostate cancer at age

This week at

68 in 1991. Six years later, Sanders’ mother passed away about six months after she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 1997 at age 67.

Sanders’ father had to travel by plane to Toronto to undergo a clinical trial because there weren’t any being conducted in Ottawa. The travel added to the burden and stress he was already facing at the time.

“Just the fact we have hundreds of (clinical trials) in Ottawa (today) makes treatments closer to home. You don’t have to travel and you have access to experimental drugs that you might not have been able to get to otherwise,” Sanders said, adding that the trials also attract top doctors to relocate here.

It’s incredible what is accomplished during the hour-long breakfast, Sanders said.

More than 400 people from across the city were seated at tables with oncologists, researchers and the foundation’s Cancer Coaches, who all shared their expertise and how donations help support their work and the people they help.

“It’s just a great way for people to connect to the charity that they’re giving to,” Sanders said, adding that it also raises awareness about the supports and services that are available.

The Cancer Champions Breakfast has raised $2.5 million since its inception.

Suds Car Wash & CHEO

The Trillium path that runs along the O-Train in Little Italy will soon connect cyclists and pedestrians to Dow’s Lake.

O-Train pathway to mend missing link Phase 2 will connect to Dow’s Lake, add Carling crosswalk Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

It’s happened to many adowntown cyclist: you arrive at Dow’s Lake from across the city only to be stopped short when you head to the Ottawa River.

There’s currently no pathway connection between those along the Rideau Canal and those further north, like the Ottawa River pathway.

But that should change by the end of this year if the transportation committee approves Phase 2 of the Trillium multi-use pathway beside the O-Train corridor.

The first phase paved a 1.6kilometre stretch between the Ottawa River pathway and Young Street, just south of Gladstone Avenue in Little Italy, in 2012.

But past that point, the money runs out and the path

is just gravel and mud all the way to Carling Avenue, where cyclists have to take the road to get around to the pathways at Dow’s Lake.

Phase 2 will finish the job, paving the path from Young to Carling and adding a signalized mid-block crosswalk on Carling.

“The only missing piece after this will be from Carling right to Dow’s Lake,” said Somerset Coun. Catherine McKenney.

There is a small path around the parking lot on the corner, or cyclists can cut through the lot to get to the light at Prince of Wales Drive. From there, cyclists can get downtown in the east and to Baseline Avenue to the west without having to use city streets.

“It will be a tremendous multi-use pathway once we get it done,” McKenney said.

The missing piece is on land owned by the National Capital Commission, so it would be up to that group to formally extend the path down to the lake.

Hans Moor with Citizens for Safe Cycling said it’s not

enough to build a path 90 per cent of the way.

“If you don’t put the last 10 per cent in its not going to work,” he said.

That said, the city has been doing a much better job the last five years making connections for cyclists and pedestrians across the city, Moor said. Just in the past year they’ve opened a pedestrian bridge over the Airport Parkway and another linking two east-end communities across the Queensway near the Ottawa Baseball Stadium.

Still, Moor said the city could always do more.

“If there’s 2.2 per cent of people cycling, let’s use 2.2 per cent of the transportation budget for cycling,” he said.

Construction on the second leg of the O-Train pathway should start this fall and be largely complete by the time the snow flies, according to the city.

The project will add lighting along the entire pathway, and also add a raised mid-block crossing at Beech Street.

The project’s budget is about $1.4 million.

This is the second year that Suds has contributed to CHEO with a car wash event.

Moore says it’s one of the ways his family business can support the CHEO family.

Last year Suds Car Wash raised more than $4,000 with virtually no promotional assistance as it was the very first day the business was open to the public.

“Suds Automated Express Wash can wash over 100 cars per hour, virtually eliminating wait time,” says Rick. That could equate to a significant donation.

McGuinty’s private member’s bill targets federal partisan ads Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Partisan advertising has no place in the federal government, according to the Ottawa South Liberal MP whose private member’s bill, which would ban the practice and create an independent oversight commissioner, is scheduled for second reading in the House of Commons on June 1.

Ads like the YouTube video that Minister of Employment and Social Development, Nepean-Carleton Conservative MP Pierre Poilievre produced to promote the government’s Universal Child Care Benefit are a prime example of advertising that promotes the Conservative party, said David McGuinty.

“When I first saw the video I was very, very disappointed because it indicated to me how far Mr. Harper’s government has fallen in terms of their respect for taxpayer dollars,” he said of what he called a “vanity video.”

“I did not think it could fall any lower in terms of using public resources to enhance their

Ottawa South Liberal MP David McGuinty’s proposed private member’s bill, which would ban partisan advertising, such as the YouTube video on the Conservative government’s Universal Child Care Benefit produced by Employment Minister Pierre Poilievre, pictured here, will go for second reading on June 1. brand – the Conservative party brand – in Canadian society.”

Winning seats in the federal election this fall is fuelling the release of these ads, but it is a pattern that started almost a decade ago, McGuinty said, reason why he introduced his

bill, dubbed the Elimination of Partisan Government Advertising Act, two years ago.

But Poilievre defended the video posted on Employment and Social Development Canada’s YouTube channel on May 8.

“The Liberals don’t like us communicating with Canadians about the Enhanced Universal Child Care Benefit because they will take it away,” he said in an statement emailed to Metroland Media.

“In 2015, our Government will make no apologies for using innovative ways to inform Canadians of the terrific enhanced benefits to which they are entitled.”

His department said its creative production team is responsible for video and photography in support of external and employee communications.

This particular video was produced in-house over a twohour period on April 26.

When asked if the video was paid for with taxpayer funds, the department said “Modern government communications requires the capacity to work in a 24/7 environment.”

“Occasionally, communications staff are required to work overtime to support government communications activities.”

Employees working overtime to film video is done “under rare

circumstances,” it said.

Compensation for overtime is covered under the collective bargaining agreement and postproduction of the video was done during regular working hours, the department said.

McGuinty, however, said Poilievre’s video is just the latest in a series of partisan ads that the Conservative government has spent at least $760 million on in the last nine years, beginning with the promotion of its Economic Action Plan.

This includes 9,800 blue billboards at a cost of $30 million, said McGuinty, who learned of the cost through an access to information request.

There are very few rules dictating the parameters around federal government advertising that portrays political party colours, among other party features, and those that are in place are lax, leading to “obscene spending,” he said.

There is, however, nothing wrong with a political party using partisan advertising as long as the party covers the

bill, said McGuinty.

The bill

McGuinty’s private member’s bill calls for: • Creating an independent advertising commissioner within the Office of the Auditor General • All forms of advertising be subject to the commissioner’s approval • No politician be allowed to associate in any way with government advertising • Government ads to not be associated with party colours • Measures that have not received parliamentary approval to not be advertised With enough political will, McGuinty said his bill could pass third reading before the House rises in the third week of June, helping to save tens of millions of dollars a year.

Para Transpo to review who can ride

Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

Transferring three times to get to work is trying at the best of times.

Transferring that much with a cognitive disability could be downright impossible.

That’s why Judy Bernstein, director of supports and services at the Ottawa-Carleton Association for Persons with Developmental Disabilities, is happy the city is finally reviewing who can use Para Transpo’s accessible transit service.

Right now, Para Transpo only offers services to people with physical disabilities and mobility concerns that prevent them from using regular OC Transpo services. Users are classified as temporary, permanent or “winter-only” clients and require medical documentation to get approved.

But the provincial Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act includes developmental and cognitive disabilities in its general definition, and this, according to local advocacy groups, means people with those disabilities should also be able to use accessible transit.

The transit commission asked staff on May 20 to review Para Transpo’s eligibility criteria to better reflect the province’s accessibility standards.

Bernstein said navigating OC Transpo can be just as difficult for someone with a cognitive delay as it is for some-

one in a wheelchair.

If a person gets hired on the other side of town, for example, it may take three transfers to get there by bus. That can be overwhelming – if not impossible – for someone with a developmental disability.

“Because of their cognitive ability they aren’t able to navigate the three transfers, so they have no way of getting to work,” she said. “It’s been on families to leave their jobs to drive them, or the person doesn’t accept the job.”

Even for those who can master a daily OC Transpo route, going off course to get to a doctor’s appointment or a new location could be problematic.

“Even construction can throw someone off, or missing their bus,” she said.

Bernstein has been fighting to include cognitive disabilities since she first arrived here from Quebec in 2002.

“In Quebec this is not an issue, but I came here and thought, ‘Why is this one disability being discriminated against?’”

She said her organization and other advocacy groups in the city have met with OC Transpo executives several times to get this sorted out.

The review will look at the options for including people with cognitive disabilities, but OC Transpo’s Pat Scrimgeour said it will be up to council to decide whether any extra costs are affordable.

He said if there’s a lot of overlap between the people currently being served and those who have cognitive disabilities, the added costs could be quite minimal.

But if adding developmental disabilities to the fold means doubling the client base, it could cost more than council is willing to pay for.

Bernstein said her organization would accept a fee hike

if that’s what it takes, but otherwise the issue will become a human rights complaint.

“I think all of us should be advocating for greater funding to accommodating people with disabilities,” she said.

“Everybody’s out of luck until everyone can be accommodated.”

REVIEW The review will look at two things: eligibility and booking.

The eligibility portion could impact Para Transpo’s current door-to-door model, which picks clients up but doesn’t offer any sort of attendant service to help clients navigate their appointment or destination once they get there. If clients need that sort of help, they must bring their own family member or attendant along.

Depending on how eligibility criteria changes, the system may move to a handto-hand service, which would require “differently-qualified” drivers to be able to better accompany their clients at their destinations, Scrimgeour said.

A review of the booking system will consider how to prioritize requests for trips and whether changes are needed for the cancellation policy.

Currently 60 per cent of Para Transpo’s daily service is through subscription booking – people going to the same location at the same time each week – and the rest is on-demand.

Right now, the cancellation policy only applies to subscription bookings, where clients have a maximum amount of appointments they can cancel in specified time period before they have to pay for missed appointments.

Public consultations will be held this year, and staff will deliver a final report in early 2016.

Uber driving review into city’s taxi rules

Ottawa’s Newest Rental Retirement Community invites you to...

Emma Jackson

Emma Jackson/Metroland

Amrik Singh, president of Unifor’s Local 1688 representing taxi drivers in Ottawa, tells the city’s community and protective services committee it needs to respect its own bylaws when it comes to cracking down on bandit taxi companies like Uber. and refrain from using scented products in accessible cabs.

They also must keep their vehicles clean and well maintained.

On top of this, taxi drivers must also acquire a taxi plate from the city, of which there are only 1,001 to go around.

Unifor Local 1688 president Amrik Singh, who represents licensed taxi drivers in Ottawa, said he wants to make sure the review applies these same rules to new taxi service models.

“Competition is welcome, but at what price? Are we going to compromise public safety?” Singh said.

That’s exactly why the review is needed, said acting deputy city manager Susan Jones: to make sure all cab drivers in the city – traditional and app-based – are held to the same standards.

The review actually predates the arrival of Uber – it was commissioned by council in 2012 primarily to see if the city could make more money off of licensing – but staff found those kinds of changes

are outside the city’s role as regulator. But while staff were working on that, these new issues emerged that required attention.

This new review could bring Uber and other companies under the city’s regulatory umbrella. Consultations with the public and stakeholders like the taxi union will help direct those decisions.

But until any potential regulatory changes are implemented next year, the city’s bylaw services are working hard to catch bandit cabs across the city, Jones said.

Last year officers laid 58 charges for illegal drivers, generating thousands of dollars in fines. And they continue to chase down law-breakers as best they can, Jones said.

She assured the committee that the review will only consider options that fall within the city’s three guiding principles for taxi regulation: public safety, accessibility and consumer protection. How companies like Uber fit into that model remains to be seen, she said.

Taxi drivers are looking to put the brakes on any rule changes that could give startup companies like Uber a free ride in Ottawa.

The city’s community and protective services committee gave staff the go-ahead on May 21 to review taxi and limousine regulations in an effort to catch up to “emerging technologies,” or the arrival of Uber and other app-based transportation companies that operate outside the city’s highly-regulated taxi industry.

Staff will undertake a comprehensive review and report back with any recommended changes in January of next year.

But some licensed taxi drivers are concerned companies like Uber are being rewarded for evading the law. Instead of cracking down on law breakers, the city could instead change its rules to accommodate them.

Uber arrived in Ottawa last October with much fanfare and excitement from residents, but less so from taxi drivers and city bylaw officers.

The app-based company doesn’t consider itself a taxi service. Rather, it says it offers a mobile app to connect thirdparty drivers with customers.

That’s a farce, according to registered taxi driver Vestas Absa Mwakyeldzi, who argued that if you’re picking up a stranger at an arranged location and accepting a fee to drive them to their destination, you’re driving a cab – and you should be held to the city’s bylaws same as everyone else.

“If it squawks like a duck and walks like a duck and flies like a duck, I’m certain it is a duck,” Absa Mwakyeldzi said.

“That’s a taxi, and that’s a taxi that’s evading the law.”

The city’s regulations call for taxi drivers to be licensed – a process that includes driver training, a police records check, a driving record check and a number of fees. The bylaw also requires taxi drivers to be “well dressed” and to “act courteously” at all times

Illegal smokes leave a trail of victims: coalition plications for minors who are targeted by those selling their illegal wares.

“They’ll sell them a baggie of 200 cigarettes for the cost of a movie ticket, which starts a whole new generation of smokers,” said Grant. “It undermines Ontario’s efforts to stop teen smoking and, even worse, it teaches kids that it’s OK to break the law.”

When it comes to the illicit enterprise, Ontario has the worst problem of any jurisdiction in Canada. A 2014 study revealed that one in three cigarettes purchased in this province is nonregulated, Grant said.

The problem is prolific in Ottawa, which is ranked third on the top-10 list of Ontario locations where illegal tobacco is popular among customers, Grant said, adding that last year, the Ontario Convenience Store Association commissioned a survey of cigarette butts picked up around the Rideau Carleton Raceway.

superintendent who now serves as the coalition’s spokesman.

“They’re really cheating us because we’re the people that the taxman collects money for to use on public services, and instead it’s going into the pockets of criminals that are just furnishing their criminal lifestyle.”

Contraband cigarettes divert about $1 billion annually in Ontario from provincial and federal tax coffers, Grant said.

Retailers, such as small convenience stores, are also feeling the effects of lost business and the unfair competition from criminals.

“The real issue, I think, right now that should frighten most Ontarians is how involved organized crime is in this,” Grant said. “We’re not talking a ma and pop organization.”

The RCMP estimates about 175 organized gangs in Canada are profiting from the sale of illegal cigarettes, from the street corner dealer to distributors higher up the chain.

There are also health im-

The illegal cigarette trade is booming in Ottawa, pumping cash into organized gangs that are using the profits to further their criminal activities, including the trafficking of drugs, weapons and, in some cases, people.

But an awareness campaign that launched last week by the National Coalition Against Contraband Tobacco in partnership with National Capital Area Crime Stoppers aims to help stamp out the sale of contraband tobacco.

If more people are made aware of the far-reaching implications of unregulated and non-taxed cigarettes, there is a greater chance tipsters will want to do the right thing to help police combat the lucrative racket.

“There are so many people that consider it a victimless crime ... just people cheating the taxman,” said Gary Grant, a retired Toronto police staff

Forty-three per cent of those butts were contraband.

Grant points to Akwesasne Mohawk reserve – straddling the Canada-U.S. border near Cornwall, Ont. – which he said is considered the epicentre of contraband tobacco.

While the reserve has some legitimate cigarette factories, they are outnumbered by those which Grant said are allegedly selling under the table to organized criminals who smuggle the product into Ontario and Quebec “It’s become so lucrative that the RCMP has estimated that there’s about 50 illegal cigarette factories, (which) are churning out thousands and thousands of cigarettes, that are not paying any type of regulatory taxes,” he said.

This should set off alarm bells and prompt people to demand action.

scale contraband investigations, has helped.

With the recent unveiling of posters at five locations in Ottawa, National Capital Area Crime Stoppers is hoping more people will come forward with information on contraband to-

bacco crimes.

“We’ve had tips in the past specifically around contraband tobacco and we would welcome the public to continue reporting that,” said Richard McMullen, president of the local Crime Stoppers.

“Ideally, we would like to get the distribution level and the (organized criminals) that are engaged in the business side,” he said. “It’s a cash cow for criminal elements to basically fund other criminal activity.

“Whether that’s guns and gangs or drug activity or other criminal undertakings, it’s something that’s in our community and it’s easy for us to help raise awareness and hopefully discourage folks from taking part.”

Students, staff return to Charles Hulse school Teachers union files grievance over pesticide spraying Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Students and staff returned to Charles H. Hulse Public School on Monday, following the school’s five-week closure after an unapproved pesticide was sprayed, causing more than two dozen people to fall sick.

While the school was closed for renovations in three affected rooms, the school board also set the wheels in motion for an external consultant to conduct a review and “... to see if there’s anything in our own procedures that we could look at as far as improving,” said Norah Marsh, associate direc-

tor of education with the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board.

Marsh said the board also intends to monitor the situation carefully to ensure teachers and schoolchildren don’t suffer another bout of health problems.

While three staff members at Charles Hulse did experience symptoms on the first day back on May 25, similar to what they had suffered before, such as watery eyes, runny nose and itchy ears, the board said it will be keeping a close eye on people’s health.

“And we had one student with a headache,” said Marsh.

Still, the board “is very confident” in the remediation work that has been done at the school, she said, adding that people can be sensitive to the scent of fresh coats of paint and new carpet.

Marsh notified Ottawa Public Health about the symptoms on Monday and was told that scent sensitivities are different for everyone and that some

people can be more sensitive than others.

The school was initially

NORAH MARSH, OTTAWA-CARLETON DISTRICT SCHOOL BOARD closed at the end of class on April 17 to allow for a more thorough cleaning and extensive ventilation, after teachers and students came down with a range of symptoms after three rooms at Charles Hulse were sprayed for cockroaches with

Konk 400 on April 11 and 12.

That pesticide is not on the school board’s list of approved chemicals.

Following the initial threeday closure, staff returned to the school but their symptoms came back.

That prompted the board to relocate staff and students to the usually empty Parkwood Hills Public School in Nepean.

Over the past several weeks, workers at Charles Hulse removed drywall, flooring, carpeting, sub-flooring materials, like glue, as well as tiles and cabinetry from the Andrew Fleck daycare room and two washrooms for students and teachers.

“From there, we did reconstruction of (those rooms),” Marsh said.

In addition to parents, teachers and students, Peter Giuliani, president of the OttawaCarleton Elementary Teachers’ Federation, was also at the school on May 25.

In the wake of the pesticide spraying and the events that un-

folded, the union filed a grievance with the school board in the past two weeks on behalf of the more than 30 Charles Hulse teachers it represents.

“One of the things we’re looking for is a better oversight of outside parties, better

a similar situation isn’t repeated.

“The whole point of the grievance is to say, ‘Look, this was an error. You failed to do this in the collective agreement.’”

On the first day of classes, Giuliani said everyone was happy – on the surface – to return to the Alta Vista Drive school, which has about 350 students in junior kindergarten to Grade 6.

“At the same time I’m sure some people are somewhat anxious,” he said.

The school board’s systematic re-entry plan “was good,” allowing teachers and schoolchildren to smoothly transition back to their studies.

“From what I can see … it looks like (the board has) covered all their bases and made sure it’s a safe and healthy environment for all,” Giuliani said.

“That being said, you really don’t know right? I guess we’ll just wait and see what happens now.”

Apology for paltry advance notice not a solution: residents Continued from page 1

When Erik Wessman, whose Quesnel Drive home backs onto the rail line where prep work for the siding is now underway, questioned Beaulieu why the midpoint was so important, the Riverside Park resident said in an interview the Via rep didn’t explain the logic, except to say that site is mid-way between the two stations.

If the decision is based on scheduling needs, Wessman said Via could schedule trains so they meet somewhere else, other than in Riverview Park, or continue to meet at Fallowfield.

“At the end of the day there’s been a breach of trust,” Charles Bouchard, who also lives on Quesnel Drive, said at the meeting. “We’re not looking for an apology. We’re looking for a solution.”

Area homeowners said they learned of the project when they received an information sheet, including an aerial map of the location, on Friday, May 1. Heavy construction vehicles arrived at the site on Monday, May 4.

Amid the community uproar that followed, Beaulieu said while Via is not obligated to notify residents of work done on its right-of-ways, he has directed a change of policy ensuring residents are given more advance notice about construction plans.

At the municipal level, plans for the project were revealed in May 2014 when Via Rail president and chief executive officer, Yves Desjardins-Siciliano, presented to city council intentions to construct the siding in Riverside Park.

As one of 132 action-plan measures that Via announced last year, the siding is expected to reduce how often trains stop

on the main line, activating false signals, particularly at the Fallowfield and Woodroffe crossings.

“Here, in Ottawa, we face unique challenges, particularly in communities like Barrhaven that are among the fastest growing communities in the country,” Beaulieu said, adding there are eight different crossings in Barrhaven, seven of which experience high-congestion traffic during peak periods.

The Riverside Park stretch was chosen because it is as close to the midpoint as possible between the Ottawa and Fallowfield stations – 6.8 kilometres east of the Fallowfield Station.

It is also a straight stretch and is not near bridges or road crossings.

Via said the new side track will allow it to avoid conflicts between arriving and departing trains.

“The new siding will help Via Rail improve safety, ontime performance and will provide flexibility of scheduling of arrivals and departures in and out of Ottawa station,” Beaulieu said.

While he did not disclose alternate locations that were assessed, he maintained that the location of the siding was chosen because it “was the optimal fit from a technical, operational and safety perspective.”

Still, many residents say these explanations don’t justify the chosen location, and questioned why their neighbourhood was chosen, and if other sites were considered, including an industrial area east of Merivale Road.

“I believe the railroads are a very, very conservative outfit, that they do what they do because it was done in the past and nobody ever looks at why

Marc Beaulieu, Via Rail’s chief transportation and safety officer, told about 60 residents at the Riverside Churches on May 21 he could not commit to temporarily stopping construction of a side rail track in their community. they do things,” Wessman told Metroland Media. “And I think that’s particularly true in this case.”

While Beaulieu promised to get back to residents with more information, many homeowners were frustrated by this.

“All I’m getting from this, sir, is ‘We’re sorry and then we’re going to move on,’” Bouchard said. “Perhaps as a community we can help you to look at other mitigating actions that would help us, and perhaps together you, our civic leaders and your community, your customers, can find a solution.”

But Beaulieu, who is on Via’s management team, told residents he “can’t commit to stopping the work at this time.”

“We’ve given it consideration already. I’ll give it more consideration. But I’m not going to make any empty promises that I can’t keep.”

River Coun. Riley Brockington, who arranged the community meeting, shared residents’ concerns with Desjardins-Siciliano by telephone the day after the public meeting.

The Via chief executive officer indicated he would seriously consider a viable alternative location, but did not commit to stopping the work, said Brockington, who expects to hear back from him next week.

After receiving Via’s initial notice about the project, Bill Baird, who also lives on Quesnel Drive, wrote to the corporation unsuccessfully asking for a report on the project.

He was disappointed Via reps didn’t bring more project details with them to the meeting.

Via did distribute an eight-page information package outlining the work schedule at the gathering, including three aerial maps and three photos, one of which

depicts what the side track will look like once completed.

“You don’t really care about the community otherwise you would have prepared that report that would have addressed the issues of the community,” Baird told Beaulieu.

“Until you start to produce some facts, until you start to produce some reports, and something other than words, something other than quoting to us the Railway Safety Act or whatever it is that governs your organization, we don’t think you have any moral authority to be here whatsoever.”

Both Brockington and Ottawa South Liberal MP David McGunity said they only found out about the project at the same time residents were notified.

Residents are “absolutely justified” in their request that construction be halted, Brockington said.

“We have had issues with the Barrhaven crossings for decades and yes, there was a tragedy there two years ago, and I understand why they need this side rail, but I’m not convinced that the portion identified in Riverside Park is the location that’s needed,” he said.

McGuinty said Via never presented its 132-point action plan to him, Brockington or residents.

“This does not exactly constitute, in my view, proper outreach and consultation,” he said. “It hasn’t exactly fostered a sense of trust with the community.”

When asked if he agrees with residents that construction of the siding be stopped, McGuinty said he’s more interested in getting answers to the questions they have raised.

Since the meeting, he has spoken to Via, urging reps to

provide more clarity and transparency, particularly about locations that were considered for the siding project.

“We need some answers immediately; why this location, what is the engineering around this,” McGuinty said.

CONSTRUCTION TIMELINE

The first stage of construction, which is underway and will continue through June, includes preparing the grading along the right-of-way with fill and crushed stone.

Beaulieu acknowledged this phase has generated noise, vibration and dust, but said Via would pay for a contractor to provide outdoor cleaning services for affected residents The track will be installed in June and July.

Construction will take place from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., as permitted by the city.

Pending the approval of a noise bylaw exemption from the city, four rails will be cut at night on June 12, and 13 and July 3 and 4 to allow for switches to be placed at each end of the siding.

The June to August phase will feature signal work, upgrades to hydro services, the installation of a small shed that will house electronic signaling components, followed by system testing and final approvals.

Residents were also told they will experience few changes once the siding is completed in August.

“You will see trains coming at a lower speed for planned meets about three times a day,” Beaulieu said, noting that crews will park trains for very short periods at the west end of the siding.

“That way the residents will be disturbed a lot less,” he said.

FIFA foots the bill for top quality turf Christmas came early this year for the West Ottawa Soccer Club and the City of Ottawa. Thanks to a generous donation from FIFA Women’s World Cup, Wesley Clover Parks is being outfitted with a $1.5 million artificial turf soccer field.

With the international competition less than a month away, Canadian host cities are gearing up for matches to be played on local fields. To accommodate the practice schedule of visiting countries competing in the games, FIFA demands each host city provide up to four professional quality turf fields.

Though Ottawa has many quality soccer fields, FIFA’s rigid standards required a better offering.

With City of Ottawa support, three local soccer clubs applied to FIFA for funding for a new field and West Ottawa Soccer Club’s proposal came out on top.

Since the world governing body is footing the bill, FIFA will have exclusive use of the new field until the final Ottawa game wraps up June 26.

After the games, West Ottawa Soccer Club will take over managing the field in partnership with Wesley Clover Parks. It will be open to the entire community.

West Ottawa General Manager Steve MacNeil expressed his gratitude to FIFA for the generous gift.

“The field is a wonderful gift for all soccer players and a legacy for the whole city. Not only does the turf field provide an international quality training and game field but it significantly extends the playing season, especially in the early spring.”

emma.jackson@metroland.com

Wesley Clover Parks is on the former site of the Nepean Equestrian Park on Corkstown Road, west of Moodie Drive. Karen Sparks, Executive Director of the Parks, said the east end of the site has been designated for soccer fields. She called the new field a centrepiece of the area, which eventually will feature a variety of amenities. Though the field will be marked for soccer, it will be available for any sport suitable for turf, including ultimate Frisbee, football and rugby.

After the FIFA Women’s World Cup, the new turf can be rented for $90 an hour.

Eight full-sized soccer fields, complete with sheltered public seating, are planned in the $20-million initiative to redevelop the equestrian park and campground properties located in the Greenbelt.

Sparks said the new field helps the Parks fulfill its mandate to provide a wide range of outdoor activities.

FIFA will have exclusive use of two other Ottawa practice fields – Algonquin College field and the Richcraft Recreation Complex in Kanata at the end of this month.

The FIFA Women’s World Cup Canada 2015™ June 6 – July 5 is the largest women’s single sport competition in the world and is the first major sporting event hosted in Canada from coast to coast, with 24 international teams competing in Vancouver, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Ottawa, Montréal and Moncton.

When you’ve gotta go, you’ve gotta go – and Somerset Coun. Catherine McKenney is hoping the city will go towards installing public toilets in high-traffic parks.

The downtown councillor asked staff to analyse the cost of installing toilets in a public space like Dundonald Park.

What staff found is a huge variance in cost depending on your standards of comfort.

The options range from $1,500 a year for rented portable toilets in the summer months to $400,000 for a futuristic self-cleaning, fully-automatic vestibule.

Operational and maintenance costs could also vary widely. Staff estimated the costs between $5,000 and $100,000 a year.

While McKenney said she wasn’t surprised by the costs, she said it’s still worth thinking about investing in public facilities.

IN DEMAND

“People want to be out and active and you have to provide the amenities for that,” she said. “This is one of them.”

There are a number of groups in Centretown that could benefit from accessible public washrooms, according to a report put together by the Toilets Please 4 Dundonald Park project.

Seniors may be more willing to take part in community activities if they know there’s a washroom available and families could spend longer at the park knowing their small kids have somewhere to go.

A precast concrete washroom like this one would be usable three seasons of the year and cost the city about $125,000 to install.

I want to inform Gloucester-Southgate residents that Conroy Road, between Hunt Club Road and Walkley Road, will be receiving a pavement preservation treatment. This work will commence on June 1st and will be completed within 40 working days. Please note that this time frame is weather dependent. Pavement preservation is the application of asphalt and aggregate over the existing road. This is a preventative treatment to extend the life of the road and to improve the quality for drivers. City staff have indicated that the work will include minor traffic interruptions and that crews will only work during off peak hours.

Please do not hesitate to contact my office if you have any questions regarding this work.

That extra comfort comes at a cost, however. A two-stall unit would cost about $125,000 to install plus maintenance.

Another, fancier, alternative is a custom-built washroom that would be in service all year round. Those two-stall units would cost between $300,000 to $350,000 to install, plus maintenance, staff found.

The priciest option available is one the city of Toronto has already committed to, and one that McKenney said would put Ottawa on the path to becoming a truly welcoming world-class city: fully-automated, self-cleaning washrooms.

These stainless steel contraptions are unlocked by a coin or token, and give you 20 minutes to do your business before the door opens and the sanitizing spray-down begins. The units are heated and insulated, so they can be used all year round, and they’re fully accessible. They cost $400,000 each.

Toronto plans to install 20 of them over the next 20 years.

Staff found a huge range of cost options if the city was to pursue a pilot project or a public washroom program in the future.

The cheapest option is to rent portable toilets at $1,500 each and then spend $1,000 to build a privacy screen around them. But these port-a-potties lack heat and lighting, so they’re limited to the summer season only. And they’re a magnet for vandalism, staff

Centretown’s many apartmentdwelling families would be better able to make use of a space like Dundonald Park, their only chance at a backyard.

“We’ve all been in a situation where you’ve been in need of a toilet,” said TP4DP community organizer Kristina Ropke. “It’s a very basic need we all have. We can all understand it.”

She said the issue is one of equity, to make sure that people of all abilities and income levels can use Dundonald Park without having to worry about access to a toilet.

As part of the larger Gotta Go campaign to include toilets at major transit hubs and public spaces, Ropke said the city is being short-sighted.

“If you want to encourage more people to use public transit, you have to do a better job of it,” she said. The group especially pushed for washrooms at Bayview and Hurdman stations, where there is little nearby to serve riders.

McKenney’s inquiry to staff didn’t get into the debate about transit station washrooms -- she stuck to Dundonald Park as an example of an urban space that can be well-served by a toilet.

She said her ultimate goal is to initiate a pilot project, either at Dundonald Park or at several parks within the core.

She’s also hoping to arm local activists like the TP4DP and Gotta Go campaigns with the information they need to lobby for these facilities in future budgets.

said in a report to the community and protective services committee.

Still, it’s not an unprecedented arrangement. The city currently sets up about 70 portable toilets each summer at various facilities to support park programming. That number swells to 120 units when the festival season kicks into high gear. The toilets are managed by the city but usually funded by the community groups and sports teams who rely on them.

Staff could alternatively install a “precast building” with indoor plumbing and lighting. These units still wouldn’t be useful in the winter, as they aren’t insulated or heated, but they’re durable and more resistant to vandals, staff said.

Find inspiration at Ontario Entrepreneur Week breakfast Staff

Ottawa and area business leaders are invited to get their day off to a running start at the annual Ontario Entrepreneur Week breakfast on Monday, June 15.

Sponsored by Metroland Media, this high-energy event will run from 7 to 9 a.m. at the Ottawa Conference and Event Centre, located at 200 Coventry Rd. “We are so pleased to be able to bring this wonderful event to Ottawa again this year,” said Mike Mount, vice-president and regional publisher with Metroland East. “The breakfast offers like-minded business people an opportunity to network in a relaxed setting and learn about a remarkable Canadian entrepreneurial success story.”

Prepare to be inspired by this year’s guest speaker,

John Stanton, founder of the Running Room. His enthusiasm for life is infectious and that will flow through his presentation as he shares the challenges and triumphs he’s experienced over his more than 25 years in business.

Like so many entrepreneurs, Stanton started small and dreamed big. From a single meeting place for running enthusiasts at the back of a shop, the Running Room has grown to more than 100 locations across Canada and the United States. The 1,300 employees who share his vision have touched the lives of more than a million Canadians over the years, encouraging us and demonstrating how running and walking lead to greater fitness and health.

Beyond his obvious business acumen is Stanton’s zest for life and his ability to motivate others. From an

overweight and out-of-shape executive who smoked two packs of cigarettes a day 30 years ago, he has now run more than 60 marathons, hundreds of road races, several triathlons including the World Ironman in Hawaii.

Taking the stage before Stanton will be local entrepreneur Karen Sparks, executive director of Wesley Clover Parks.

Sparks and her father, high tech mogul Terry Matthews, are revitalizing the former Nepean national equestrian park off Corkstown Road with the goal of attracting top-flight show jumping competitors to Ottawa.

Don’t miss the June 15 event where Sparks and Stanton will bring inspiring messages to the business breakfast in Ottawa.

Hobby show offers unique window into military heritage Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Sprinkled throughout Ottawa are people like Bob Thompson whose passion for Canada’s military history has translated into collections of artifacts and memorabilia that are preserving the past outside museum walls.

“I’ve always been passionate about Canadian history,” the Alta Vista resident and retired army reservist said. “Canadians are terrible about promoting their history.

We’re not flag wavers like the Americans are. The Americans do one heck of a job at preserving their history.”

In Thompson’s eyes, that’s why the second-annual Military Hobby Show on June 7, organized by the Ottawa Service Battalion Association and hosted in the parade square at the Major E.J.G. Holland VC Armoury on Walkley Road, will play such an important role.

It is designed to bring together vendors, who will be selling their military memorabilia, and exhibitors, who will have the chance to display portions of their vast private collections.

Most memorabilia shows attract dealers who are in the business of selling military collectibles. But the premise behind the Ottawa show is to also entice private collectors and clubs to display portions of their rarely seen collections.

“What is different about this show is we offer tables

for exhibitors and clubs (for free),” said Thompson, who sits on the association’s executive and has been a longtime avid collector of toy soldiers, military models and cards, some of which he displayed at last year’s show. He plans to exhibit more of his toy soldiers this year.

“It’s not just things to buy,” he said.

Only in its second year, the Military Hobby Show is quickly becoming a celebration of Canada’s army, navy and air force heritage.

“People, they come and they see these things and they realize all sorts of things that they didn’t know about before,” Thompson said of the educational experience. “Everyone knows just little snippets – Vimy Ridge, D-Day.” This year, the Friends of the Canadian War Museum will be returning, as will several hobby organizations, such as the Civil War Round Table of Ottawa and the Capital Marine Modellers’ Guild.

Last year, the inaugural event featured a treasure trove of displays featuring military police uniforms from the Second World War, as well as First World War uniforms and a flag exhibit, among other niche collections.

The 33 Service Battalion, one of several reserve units based at the armoury, will also have an exhibit again this year.

Proceeds raised from the hobby show will help the Ottawa Service Battalion Association, which has about 50

Bob Thompson, a retired Canadian Armed Forces army reservist and current member of the Ottawa Service Battalion Association, says more than 70 vendors and exhibitors will be selling and displaying an eclectic range of military memorabilia and models during the second-annual Military Hobby Show at the Major E.J.G. Holland VC Armoury, located at 2100 Walkley Rd., on June 7. retired military members and about 80 actively serving personnel, support the battalion and the 2332 Major E.J.G.

Theatre announces 2015-16 lineup Megan DeLaire

mdelaire@metroland.com

Centrepointe Theatre invited Ottawa theatregoers to “escape the everyday” when it recently announced the lineup for its upcoming season.

The theatre has curated 15 comedy, musical, family friendly and variety acts to host between Oct. 2 this year, and May 1, 2016.

“This is our third season focusing on the four pillars: comedy, music, family and variety. And these four pillars, it’s really what people have been asking for,” said Barb Brunzell, manager of audience and partnership development for art centres of the City of Ottawa. “About two years ago we brought back family programming ... We hadn’t programmed family programming in house for about five years. We’ve brought it back and now it’s up there neckand-neck with comedy, which is our number-one seller.”

The season’s brochure dares comedy lovers to “create new memories and laugh until your cheeks hurt” with performances

Submitted

Ballroom with a Twist will bring talent from Dancing with the Stars, So You Think You Can Dance and American Idol to Centepointe Theatre next March. The performance is one of 15 scheduled for the theatre’s 2015-16 season.

by Howie Mandel in October, Ron James in November, the Debaters in February, and Stephen Wright in February. The Just for Laughs Road Show will return in April with an as-yet unannounced bill of standup comics.

On the musical front, Gaelic

group the Irish Rovers will perform in November, Classic Albums Live will perform Pink Floyd’s The Wall in March, and Cape Breton coal miners’ choir Men of the Deeps will sing in April.

The theatre has a roster of

family friendly acts planned especially for children, including performances by the Imagination Movers in November and the Okee Dokee Brothers in December. Classic children’s stories will come to life in March and May with an animated screening of Room on the Broom and a theatrical adaptation of The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Mermaid Theatres.

Adding a dash of variety, British illusionist Darcy Oake will perform an age-old art form with a modern twist with his magic act in November.

ArcAttack will also come to the theatre in November, blending music with electrifying science for an interactive performance that is part science experiment and part rock concert. In one of the last acts of the season, Ballroom with a Twist will bring past contestants from Dancing with the Stars, So You Think You Can Dance, and American Idol to the stage for a spectacle of dance.

Tickets are available through the box office at 613-580-2700 or online at www.centrepointe theatres.com.

Literary festival set for Parkdale Park Steph Willems

steph.willems@metroland.com

Hintonburg can add another arts-related event to its calendar, now that a new literary festival is scheduled to take place in Parkdale Park.

Prose in the Park, which is being held on June 6, is billed as Ottawa’s largest one-day writer’s event, combining 15 author panels, special events, a book fair and an open mic stage. Organizers expect 150 authors to attend, including Giller Prize winner Vincent Lam, Governor-General winner Rosemary Sullivan, and a host of other awardwinning Canadian authors.

Publishers and independent bookstores will also be part of the crowd.

“There is something really magical about hundreds of authors, volunteers and organizers coming together to give birth to a new literary festival,” said Ian Shaw, chairman of the Prose in the

Park organizing committee.

“What is really unique about Prose in the Park is that it is accessible to everyone. It is 100 per cent free, in a public park in a wonderful neighbourhood of the city and within a two-minute walk from restaurants, bakeries, ice-cream parlours, cafes and outdoor bars.”

The event organizers have ensured the presence of many francophone writers at the festival. Community groups – including the Hintonburg Community Association – and numerous local writers’ groups have pledged their support for the event.

“It’s a literary grassroots things – I’m really pleased they decided to do it,” said Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper. “It’s an auspicious group of writers.”

Prose in the Park runs from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on June 6. More information can be found at proseinthepark.com.

Ottawa filmmaker brings wild west to Mayfair Theatre Premiere of Jesse James: Lawman takes place May 28 Alex Robinson alex.robinson@metroland.com

While Brett Kelly’s new western stars Peter Fonda and is his largest-budget movie to date, it still has a distinctly Canadian flavour.

The Ottawa filmmaker’s new film, Jesse James: Lawman, is set to premier at the Mayfair Theatre on the evening of May 28.

Los Angeles film company Barnholtz Entertainment hired Kelly to make the film and cast Fonda and Kevin Sorbo to star in it. Kelly selected the rest of the cast, which was predominantly Canadian. Ottawa actor Andrew Galligan played the title role.

The film was shot in four different locations, but mostly in Ottawa, which was a challenge to make the city seem

like it was in the west.

“The thing about western audiences is they don’t want you to be too different. They want to see what they expect,” he said.

“The fact it was made in Ottawa is pretty unique. We’re as far from the west as we can get.”

The indie genre director has churned out 23 titles since 2005, and has more than 30 acting credits to his name.

Kelly makes his movies at lightning speed and with a lot of love, taking only seven to 10 days to shoot them.

He takes pride in making movies that entertain the audience and provide escapism.

“Ever since I was a kid and saw Star Wars at the Somerset Theatre, I’ve like things that take you away from real life,” he said.

“I don’t want to go to be educated or enlightened. I go to the movies to have a good time.”

The film, which is Kelly’s third western, follows the story of Jesse James as he in-

Peter Fonda, left, stars in Brett Kelly’s Jesse James: Lawman, which is set to premier at the Mayfair Theatre in Old Ottawa South on May 28 filtrates the Dalton Gang as an undercover sheriff.

“Expect gun fights, horses, some men being manly and everything you expect in a

western,” he said. “You can’t have a western without horses, guns or a poker game.”

When asked what makes the movie different from other

westerns, Kelly said “the Canadian accents.”

Tickets for the premiere of the film cost $10 and are available at the Comic Book

Shoppe, at 228 Bank Street, as well as at the Mayfair Theatre.

The film is set to be released on DVD in September.

Fast and Female event to foster empowerment girl, and is open to youth from ages eight to 19.

Brier Dodge

brier.dodge@metroland.com

Fast and Female, a sports organization founded by Olympic cross country skier Chandra Crawford, will host an event in Ottawa on June 6 to encourage female youth to become involved in sport and celebrate female athletes.

It will be held at the Rideau Carleton Raceway and hosted by volunteers from the Ottawa Swans Australian Football Club.

Organizer Lauren Stoot said she wanted to bring the event to Ottawa after she participated in an event herself in 2007 as a youth cross country skier, and volunteered with a Fast and Female event in Thunder Bay, Ont. in 2013.

“It’s a very empowering event,” she said. “It’s really great to see the enthusiasm that gets passed around from the program ambassadors to the participants. It’s a feel good day.”

The event will include fitness and athletic exercises, a yoga class, a healthy snack and a speech from Ottawa Swans player Emma Dickinson,

ROLE MODELS

Girls take part in a past Fast and Female event. The sports organization will host an event at the Rideau Carleton Raceway on June 6. who was a part of Canada’s gold medal women’s team at the 2014 International Cup, and was also named to the 2014 All Star World Team.

The participants will then be invited to watch the Swan’s season opener against the Montreal Angels with Fast and Female volunteers before the day

ends.

The whole day will run from 8:45 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Rideau Carleton Raceway. The program costs $15 per

Stoot said it’s important for young girls to have positive female role models, especially those who want to continue in sport. She said her team is a good example of how women can stay active through adulthood, without becoming professional athletes.

“Growing up with sports my whole life has allowed me an outlet to have something to work towards, and I have a better work ethic because of it,” she said. “Whether it’s just to remain fit or to play a competitive sport at a high level, no matter where you end up, having sport in your life is positive.”

While the Australian Rules Football team will host the event and supply volunteers, the Fast and Female program is focused on general sport and fitness.

“It’s a good day to celebrate being active, fit and female,” Stoot said.

Registration is open until June 5 at www.eventbrite.ca by searching “Fast and Female Power Hour.”

Lentil salad offers a healthy side dish Lentils and asparagus are both high in fibre, making this salad a good healthy choice. Using canned lentils makes this salad quick and easy to prepare. Preparation time: 20 minutes. Cooking time: five minutes. Chilling time: one hour. Serves four.

Ingredients

• 250 g (8 oz) asparagus, trimmed • 1 can (540 ml/19 oz) lentils, drained and rinsed • Half sweet yellow pepper, diced • 1 greenhouse tomato, diced • 175 ml (3/4 cup) crumbled light feta cheese • 50 ml (1/4 cup) each chopped fresh parsley and mint Dressing • 45 ml (3 tbsp) olive oil • 25 ml (2 tbsp) red wine

vinegar • 1 small shallot, finely chopped • Freshly ground pepper Preparation Dressing: In a small bowl, combine the oil, vinegar, shallot, and pepper to taste.

Veggies: In a pot of boiling salted water, cook the asparagus for about three minutes or until tender, and then drain. Rinse the asparagus with or plunge it into cold water, and then drain again.

Pat it dry with paper towel, and then cut into 2.5-centimetre (one-inch) pieces.

Place the asparagus, lentils, yellow pepper, tomato, feta cheese, parsley and mint in bowl. Add the dressing and toss to coat. Chill for one hour to blend the flavours.

Ottawa’s East Nepean Little League is gearing up for a monumental 60th anniversary with preparations underway to host the 2015 Canadian Little League Championships at South Nepean Park from Aug. 6 to 16.

The championships are expected to bring 100 players – aged 11 and 12 – and thousands of family members, friends and fans to the city.

Following a May 15 sponsorship announcement at South Nepean Park’s Eagles Nest diamond, a lottery ball style draw was held to determine the schedule for the tournament. While that schedule was not confirmed as of press time, league advisory board member Bob Wilson confirmed that East Nepean will play the Atlantic Region champion in the See FIVE, page 53

Life is all about a good run for Rob Watson.

The 2013 Canadian Marathon champion, Rob led the Canadian contingent of the IAAF Silver label Scotiabank Ottawa Marathon last weekend.

At 31, the 6’3” runner tips the scales at a slim 150 pounds at race weight.

To remain in front of the pack, Rob trains passionately and maintains his weight and energy with healthy, fresh food.

“I simply love to run,” Rob admits. “It has brought me a ton of happiness, it has provided me the opportunity to travel the world and meet many, many amazing people along the way.”

With a family background that focused on athletics, Rob has been running almost as long as he has been able to walk.

“My Aunt was an Olympic Heptathlete and my older brothers were good runners as well. So I guess running was a just natural in my family.”

After a solid finish in Run Ottawa’s Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend, Rob has his sights set on the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio. To prepare, he will maintain a strict diet.

“I tighten up during a marathon build and the last eight weeks I am pretty strict.

Generally though, I eat a lot of carbs to fuel, protein to recover and water to hydrate.

I snack on fruits/veggies. I avoid over processed foods and processed sugar. I try to keep my diet as natural as possible.”

“Carbs are most important for training,” advises Rob. “You need those for fuel. I eat a lot of yams, sweet potatoes, brown rice and oatmeal. For recovery you need protein; chicken or eggs are my go to. I also drink a lot of smoothies.”

On the day of a marathon, Rob’s menu is all about energy.

“Leading up is a big ole’ carbo load; lots of yams and rice. Avoid leafy greens or too much protein as that is harder to digest.

Morning of race; black coffee, bagel with a little peanut butter and banana. Constantly sipping on sports drinks to keep hydration topped up.”

At a recent nutritional tour given at Farm Boy, the official Fresh Food Supplier of the Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend, Rob shared his advice for people trying to eat right.

“Stick to the basics and don’t do anything too drastic – if you try to make a sudden big change it will affect your body and it’ll be harder to stick to it. Small changes over time work best. Start by switching out white sugar for honey, snack on carrots instead of chips.

Small changes can make a big difference.

Also portion control is key, nothing wrong with a cookie or two, just avoid eating the whole bag!”

“Be mindful of what you are eating and why, food is fuel. If you fuel with garbage, there is a good chance you are going to perform like garbage.”

Eugene Melnyk recovering in Toronto hospital after transplant Rebecca Field

Ottawa Senators owner Eugene Melnyk and a liver donor have started the post-liver transplantation recovery following a transplant procedure, according to doctors at the Toronto hospital where the procedure was performed.

The donor was one of over 500 people who stepped forward after a public appeal was made by the Ottawa Senators for a living liver transplantation donor. The donor was chosen only a few days after the appeal was made.

“The (donor’s) motivation to do this is to help Mr. Melnyk to return to good health, to enjoy his family and friends, and most importantly, to bring the Stanley Cup home to the Ottawa Senators,” said Dr. David Grant, director of the living donor liver transplant program at Toronto’s University Health Network.

Grant said the donor hopes that others will be inspired by his story, and that both the donor and Melnyk are in stable condition and recovering.

The donor has chosen to remain anonymous to both the public and Melnyk. The Senators owner went into

liver failure and decided to appeal to the public while on the wait list for a deceased liver transplantation donor, and after none of his close friends or family were a successful match for a donation.

“Live liver donation is offered as an option to these patients as a way to reduce the risk of dying while waiting for a scarce or deceased liver transplant,” said Grant at a news conference at Toronto General Hospital on May 21. The University Health Network’s multi-organ transplant team doesn’t help a patient solicit a live donor, but will assess whether those who come forward are a suitable match.

Melnyk’s procedure will now free up his place on the deceased liver transplant waiting list. There are currently around 1,500 people waiting for a transplant and not all may have the option of a live transplant.

Twenty of the people who came forward to donate have decided to continue the process and donate to someone else in need. “Many lives will be saved as a result of this appeal and we as a community should be proud of these heroic and caring individuals,” said Grant. One in three people wait-

ing for a transplant in Ontario will die because a donor doesn’t become available in time.

“This appeal is a win-win situation,” said Dr. Atul Humar, director of the multi-organ transplant program.

“Organ donation or the lack of the available donors is the single biggest challenge we face as a multiple organ transplant program. It’s why our patients die because they are not able to get an organ on time.”

Humar said any appeal like this can help get potential donors to register online to be an organ donor after death.

“It’s truly humbling to work with this patient,” said Dr. Ian McGilvray, the transplant surgeon who performed the procedure, referring to the donor. “I can’t think of anything else in modern medicine where you take a completely healthy, well rounded individual and subject them to an operation of this scale and they get nothing out of it except for the fact that they’ve done something good for someone else.”

The program, which is the biggest of its kind in North America with more than 700 transplants performed, has seen around 35 anonymous live-transplant donors -- the majority of which

Dr. Atul Hamar, director of the multiple-organ transplant program at the University Hospital Network, discusses Eugene Melnyk’s successful liver transplant at Toronto General Hospital on May 21. had no directly intended organ recipient.

The procedure involves taking 70 per cent of a donor’s healthy liver and transplanting it into a patient in liver failure who has no other options for survival.

Within about six weeks, the liver will regenerate itself in both the donor and the recipient to virtually the same size as it was before.

Melnyk and his donor will both be in

recovery at the hospital for one to two weeks, and then at home for three to four months afterwards.

Melnyk’s family released a statement thanking the donor for his generosity.

“To the anonymous donor, you are an incredible person and we truly admire your unselfish act of kindness and courage to be a living liver donor,” reads the statement. The family wishes the donor “a speedy and full recovery.”

Province to fund torch relay celebrations Money helps with logistical costs Brier Dodge

The Ontario government will give communities grants to fund the 2015 Pan and Parapan American Games torch relay.

MPP Michael Coteau, the minister responsible for the 2015 Pan and Parapan American Games, made the announcement in Ottawa at city hall on May 19.

“It’s our time, here in the province of Ontario, and we’re ready,” he said. “An important part of the journey on the way to the Games includes the torch relay.”

Ottawa will receive $12,500 to help with the torch relay stops downtown and in Kanata, Barrhaven and Orléans on June 30, and July 1 and 2.

Mayor Jim Watson said most of the money will go to logistical costs, and will be dedicated to all the stops in Ottawa, not just the downtown or Canada Day celebrations.

“That will give us the ability to do sort of everything: advertise, staging, banners and sound systems, and just the logistic costs of hosting a large event,” Watson said.

“Anywhere the torch goes ... we’ll make sure we have the necessary infrastructure to welcome the torch and make sure the ceremony goes off without a hitch.”

The torch relay will end in Toronto on July 10 for opening ceremonies of the games. On June 30, the torch will be at Ottawa city hall and then on Sparks Street for a celebration. Canada Day will see the torch at the large downtown celebrations as well as Canada Day events in Kanata and Barrhaven. On July 2, the torch will be in Orléans.

Five years of planning precede championship tournament tournament’s opening game on Aug. 7. Jim Dean, president of Little League Ontario, also confirmed that many of the Nepean team’s games would take place at ideal times for spectator turnout.

“East Nepean is probably going to play the last game on every day,” Dean said, “because that maximizes our attendance.”

East Nepean Little League placed and won a bid to host the 2015 championships five years ago. Though the team has been Major Canadian Champions twice, in 2004 and 2013, this year’s tournament marks the team’s first time bidding for, and winning, the chance to host the national tournament.

“It’s been a five-year labour of love to bring this project to Barrhaven,” Wilson said. “Because it’s our 60th anniversary, we thought that would be a very good way to celebrate it.”

In addition to the pride of hosting a national tournament on home turf, Wilson said there are some strategic advantages to playing at home.

“The host team has some small advantages. Mostly that they get to stay home and sleep in their own beds, while other teams travel from across Canada. But the schedule is balanced,” Wilson said.

Members of the league will also benefit for years to come from last year’s construction of a $390,000 Eagles Nest media building in South Nepean Park, featuring electronic scoreboards for both of the park’s diamonds.

Construction of the building, a cornerstone of the five-year project to prepare the host venue for the 2015 national tournament, was supported with grants from the city and the province.

Bleachers will also be added to the Eagles Nest diamonds to accommodate 2,200 spectators.

Admission to the 2015 Canadian Little League Champi-

onships will be free and open to the public. At the conclusion of the championships on Aug. 16, the tournament’s winning team will travel to Williamsport, Pa. to compete in the Little League World Series, which begins on Aug. 20.

During the May 15 event, members of East Nepean Little League revealed that developer Mattamy Homes would be the tournament’s major partner.

Based in Oakville, Ont., the company has a strong presence in Ottawa, having developed the Half Moon Bay community in Nepean as well as communities in Kanata and Orléans.

“Mattamy’s a big builder in the area, they’ve been here a long time and they’ve made a strong connection with the community,” said Wilson, adding that the Barrhaven Business Improvement Area is the league’s official host sponsor and has been since the league won a bid to host the tournament five years ago.

Dogs Die In hot cars Leaving a dog alone in a hot car, even for just a few minutes, can be fatal. Each year, the Ottawa Humane Society gets hundreds of calls about dogs left in cars. A parked car can quickly become a furnace, even on a mild summer day, endangering an animal’s life and leaving the owner at risk of criminal charges.

With only hot air to breathe, a dog’s normal cooling process – panting – doesn’t work. A dog can withstand an internal body temperatures of 40C for only a few minutes before brain damage or 0528.R0013292794

Lil Homie

This is Lil Homie, my daughter’s cat. She got her name from these Li’l Homie figurines similar to Fat Albert plastic figurines found in gumball machines. The owner was a collector and when he started finding little chewed up arms and legs all over the house, he thought that Li’l Homie would be better off keeping our cat Binks, company. Homie just loves Christmas and can’t wait to plow into the manger and disperse the Magi and the Shepherds. For a 7 year old cat, she is very cuddly and rambunctious. The perfect company for our aging cat Binks.

death can occur.

This year, OHS agents have already responded to 24 calls for dogs left in hot cars since April 1.

Last year, agents went to 356 such calls — saving dogs from lifelong injury or even an agonizing death.

In 2014, OHS agents laid four charges against people who allegedly left their pet in a hot car. It’s a serious crime that can have deadly consequences.

If you see an animal alone in a car with the owner nowhere in sight, call the OHS emergency line

at 613-725-1532 or call the police.

Signs of heatstroke in dogs include: • Rapid heartbeat • Heavy panting • Lethargy • Lack of co-ordination • Lack of co-ordination • Weakness or muscle tremors • Unconsciousness • Glazed eyes • Convulsions For more information, please visit the OHS website at www. ottawahumane.ca.
