Riverside Park residents are giving a proposed retirement community and the city’s consultation process a near-failing grade. “Please respect our neighbourhood and reduce the density,” Craig Searle, president of the Riverside Park Community and Recreation Association, appealed to city staff and representatives from Canoe Bay Developments during a Nov. 1 open house that drew upwards of 200 people. “This kind of process destroys people’s faith in the planning process. “In scoring this whole process, I would score this a D. D for disappointed. D for disillusioned and D for disgusted,” said Searle. Canoe Bay has filed subdivision, Official Plan, site plan and zoning applications to construct an age-in-place community for seniors on a 4.3-hectare (10.6-acre) vacant lot at 3071 Riverside Dr., across from Mooney’s Bay Park.

the community created to manage future development at the site: betrayed, frustrated, unheard, pushed away, disappointed and ashamed. About a dozen people held signs signalling their outrage about the development proposal and the city’s consultation process around the sale of the property outside the church prior to the start of the meeting. Residents have expressed shock about of the density proposed, that ground-floor retail had been added, a park relocated, and that a field house and soccer pitch were removed. Residents said they were outraged

they were not consulted about the amendments before the Ottawa Community Lands Development Corporation, the city’s arms-length real estate company, sold the lot to Canoe Bay for $16.5 million. “We feel completely betrayed by that process,” Searle said. “It’s the density, it’s the massive structures, it’s the changes to the Riverside Park neighbourhood where we’ve lived for years.” Searle said he’s doubtful their concerns will be heard.

“I’ve got very little hope that anything’s going to happen,” Searle said of the project, which could go before the city’s planning committee for consideration in midJanuary. “We keep (being) unheard, pushed away and lied to.” River Coun. Riley Brockington agreed the process was “flawed.” “There should have been an opportunity, once they shortlisted a bidder, to take a pause … and come back to the community and say, ‘Here’s the vision,’” he said, but added that real estate negotiations can’t be disclosed publicly before a sale is finalized. However, he thinks councillors of impacted wards should be privy to discussions even if they don’t sit on the Ottawa Community Lands Development Corporation board. “I think that’s wrong,” Brockington said. “There are issues and holes in that process that have to be addressed going forward.” With no established guidelines set out by the city, Searle said Canoe Bay’s plan has about 200 units more than what the Canada Housing and Mortgage Corporation’s density definition allows for

He said it’s a sign the project is profit-driven. “You don’t need the kind of density that they’re proposing in order to make it profitable for the developer,” said Searle. City planner Sean Moore said the city’s Official Plan doesn’t speak to density, but rather the form of a building. Low rise is one to four storeys, medium is four to nine storeys and a highrise is at

least 10. “There’s a disconnect in the terminology between density and the height of a building,” he said. François Bouchard, co-owner of the Riverside Mall on nearby Ridgewood Avenue, asked if the city could have pre-zoned the site before the sale, forcing would-be buyers to stay within established guidelines. “We have a community that’s

upset,” he said. “We have a builder who’s trying in good faith to build something.” But under the city’s planning rules, a developer can still apply for a zoning change after purchase. “Pre-zoning a site doesn’t set out any guarantees for the future,” Moore said.

Project planned with community in mind: company rep Continued from page 3

Eva Kuszel, whose home backs onto the property, said there is uncertainty about whether the company can provide assurances about which tenants and businesses will be allowed to move in. She said her privacy is also at stake, among other concerns. “This was supposed to be my forever home,” Kuszel said, her voice breaking with emotion. ‘BENT OVER BACKWARDS’

Gary Harper, chief executive of Canoe Bay, said his team “bent over backwards” to create a development the community would welcome and is one that has evolved in response to concerns.

“I’d sooner have 600 seniors than 400 condos,” he said. “I believe seniors are a more attractive group to have in your backyard if you’re going to have anyone.” The addition of small-scale retail shops – possibly a pharmacist, doctor, dentist, café and bistro – will serve the needs of older residents, who otherwise wouldn’t want to walk to the nearby Riverside Mall, especially in the winter. Many won’t own cars, said Harper, adding that at his other retirement residences less than 10 per cent of seniors drive, or 25 to 30 out of 266 people. While some at the meeting oppose the retail aspect, two spoke in favour of the addition of new businesses. Brockington said he will advocate that the

retail be moved further into the property away from Riverside Drive. “I’m not saying it’s a slam dunk,” he said of negotiating change. “I’m not even saying it’s going to be easy.” The company has made other changes, including opting for two, and not three, traffic access points from Riverside Drive. It will pay for a traffic light at the south end of the property and install a right-in, right-out entry at the north end. “I wouldn’t say we’ve conceded on everything, but I think we’ve done a lot in the process,” Harper said, such as keeping the taller buildings in the centre. Canoe Bay Developments/Submitted Canoe Bay also now wants Canoe Bay Developments is proposing to build an aging-in-place village at the former to lease space to a not-for-profit Bayview school site in Riverside Park.

Ottawa South News - Thursday, November 9, 2017 5

Usual suspects make Ottawa’s top-10 intersection crash list Hunt Club-Riverside crossroads, said he wasn’t surprised to see that intersection at the top of the list, given the 80,000 vehicles that move through there every day. “This is one of the highestvolume intersections in the city,” he said. But, he noted, the number of collisions there dropped from 60 in 2015 to 43 in 2016, according to the report, released Nov. 3. Of the reported crashes, six people suffered minor injuries, largely because most crashes were low-impact fender-benders, Brockington said, adding there were no fatalities and no major injuries. Eighty-four per cent were rear-end crashes, said Landry, with the most happening at the turns. There were 24 rear-end bumps there in 2015, but 11 in 2016, which Landry characterized as “a big reduction.” The bulk of collisions are in a turning lane as motorists swing left from Riverside onto West Hunt Club, one of the city’s busiest east-west routes, second only to Highway 417, said Brockington.

BY ERIN MCCRACKEN erin.mccracken@metroland.com

The city’s newly released top10 list of high-collision intersections in 2016 stars some of the usual suspects. • Hunt Club Road and Riverside Drive is in the No. 1 spot — for another consecutive year — with 43 crashes. • Second place was next door at West Hunt Club Road and Prince of Wales Drive, which saw 36 crashes. • Third place was at West Hunt Club Road at Woodroffe Avenue with 35 collisions. • Montreal Road and Vanier Parkway, and Hunt Club and Hawthorne roads tied for fourth with 33 crashes. • The juncture at Cyrville and Innes Roads was next with 31 collisions. City staff are planning to tackle the top five by installing high-collision-area warning signs by the end of this year to warn drivers to keep a safe difference between vehicles. “Of the 10 locations, other than Kirkwood and Carling, all the others have the highest type

The intersection of Hunt Club Road and Riverside Drive topped the city’s top-10 collision list in 2016. of collision as the rear end,” said Philippe Landry, the city’s director of traffic services. Kirkwood and Carling predominantly suffers from sideswipes as cars come off the Queensway and try to turn left onto Kirkwood, but Landry said that will be addressed when the Queensway is widened from Maitland Avenue to Carling Avenue in the next couple of years.

All of the intersections on the list are highly congested, Landry added. The worst time to be at Riverside and Hunt Club is weekdays between 11 a.m. and noon. And Fridays in March tend to result in more fender-benders, he said. City-wide, the most vehicle crashes happen Fridays in January largely thanks to Mother Nature, while collisions involv-

ing pedestrians tend to be in October and November. “The distracted driving’s really gone up. Speeding’s always been there,” Landry added. The report offered some positives, including a reduction of about 1,000 reportable collisions across the city, putting the 2016 total at 14,023. River Coun.

“I think the real story is Hunt Club Road itself. Of the top-10 intersections for collisions, five are on Hunt Club,” he said, also referring to Bank Street and Hunt Club Road, which also made the list. “I would hazard a guess that Hunt Club moves more cars than Carling, than Baseline and any other east-west road,” he said. “The intersection is not able to process the volume of cars.” Traffic flow is key, particularly with new developments going in, such as Claridge’s proposal to construct a seniors’ residence and hotel further east on Hunt Club. “Hunt Club basically between Bank and the Hunt Club bridge is a parking lot” during rush hour, said Brockington. “The question isn’t how do you make it more safe, but how can the volume of traffic move better?” Landry said staff monitor traffic cameras mounted at several Hunt Club intersections. “This allows us to make signal-timing adjustments when we see a direction that is more congested than any other direction,” said Landry. “Our traffic operators are always keeping an eye on Hunt Club, as it is one of the busiest corridors in the city. “ Earlier this year, staff extended the left-turn lane from Riverside to Hunt Club, Brockington said. And signs warning motorists to maintain a safe difference from other vehicles will be installed soon, at his request. It’s hoped the south extension of the light-rail line to Bowesville near Riverside South will help relieve congestion, given the growth in Barrhaven, Findlay Creek, Riverside South and Greely. “I don’t want this intersection to be a chronic one in the city,” Brockiington said.

Osgoode man credits Montfort’s new CT scanner BY MICHELLE NASH BAKER michelle.nash@metroland.com

The Montfort Hospital now has the ability to diagnose a patient in seconds. The hospital unveiled its new cardiac computed tomography scanner, or CT scanner, on Nov. 2, which captures 320 simultaneous image slices by rotating around a patient laying on a stationary table. In just 0.275 seconds the images are transmitted to a cardiac module. Less than a month old, the scanner has already saved one life. Kevin Ciesielski said it was in the summer when he started to feel short of breath. The Osgoode resident said it was when he was walking across the parking lot going to work that he felt something wasn’t right. Instead of going to the doctor, Ciesielski shrugged it off and it wasn’t until another time, when he was walking with his wife and dog that he again felt short of breath. “I went to the doctor and he did the normal protocol, chest X-rays, but I was in no real pain,” Ciesielski said. “It was nothing I expected to be a problem.” Ciesielski eventually was referred to Montfort Hospital, where he was one of the first patients to undergo a CT scan. It found three blockages in his heart. “It was that scanner that finally diagnosed what was wrong,” he said. “There was three blockages that were blocking 90 to 95 per cent of my arteries. The scanner identified them before I had a heart attack. I was told by one doctor that this is one of the types of blockages that is typically diagnosed in an autopsy. “This scanner saved my life.” Three days later, Ciesielski underwent openheart surgery at the Ottawa Heart Institute.

Volunteer patient Gilles Ménard helps demonstrate how the Montfort Hospital’s new CT scanner works on Nov. 2. Technologist Sean Boyle talks Ménard through the process. One month later, he said he is still taking it slow, but is very grateful. “I am very fortunate to have this done,” Chief of cardiology at the hospital, Dr. Chamoun Chamoun, said Ciesielski’s case is rare — and not why the hospital first acquired the scanner. “This was for us to be able to rule out disease,” he said. The scanner is simple, quick, highly precise

and non-invasive, allowing more comfort for the patient — the alternative is an angiogram test, which uses special dye, and a long, thin, flexible tube called a catheter that is inserted into the wrist or groin and guided to the heart. The scanner also emits less radiation, making it more valuable as a diagnostic tool. “Kevin’s case is not typical,” Chamoun said. “But followup was quick and Kevin got cardiac surgery within 48 hours.” The device is now accessible to the community, and Montfort is working in collaboration with the University of Ottawa Heart Institute. Beyond cardiac diagnosis, the device will also be used to diagnose patients with pulmonary problems, or possible fractures, among other health issues. The Montfort Hospital Foundation’s $2.5-million fundraising campaign, For You, Sweet Heart, made it possible for the hospital to acquire the scanner with the cardiac module. “This CT scanner is in line with our mission to be there for the patient and deliver better care,” said Montfort’s president Dr. André Olivier. Currently, the campaign is at 73 per cent of its objective. Funds raised will enable all of the CT scanner’s capabilities to be deployed.

Gaming Tables at the Hard Rock Casino I was extremely disappointed to learn that the Rideau Carleton Raceway, now operated by Hard Rock International, has submitted an application to the Committee of Adjustment to increase the allowed number of gaming tables by 67%, from 21 to 35. As recently as September, Council made it clear to the successful proponent, Hard Rock International, that any expansion of gaming would trigger a series of conditions that Council put in place to protect neighbouring residential communities from adverse traffic impacts, including Blossom Park and Emerald Woods. The conditions included that the proponent be required to complete a Community Transportation Study (CTS). This comprehensive analysis would include looking at the possibility of moving the RCR entrance to Bank Street, widening surrounding roads and improving public transit. In addition to the CTS, Council also directed staff to provide an analysis of potential economic benefits and impacts and potential social impacts related to an expanded gaming facility at RCR and to report back to the Finance and Economic Development Committee once complete. By going through the Committee of Adjustment to increase the number of gaming tables, Hard Rock International is bypassing these requirements. I am discouraged by Hard Rock’s approach and my confidence in their willingness to be a good community partner is shaken. In my opinion, matters that appear before the Committee of Adjustment are not subject to the same level of council and public scrutiny one would expect for such a controversial and impactful decision. It is my continued hope that the proponent will respect Council’s decision and bring any requests to expand gaming in Ottawa through the appropriate channels. The Committee of Adjustment will be hearing the application on Wednesday November 15th at 9:00 a.m. at Ben Franklin Place, The Chamber, 101 Centrepointe Drive. I encourage members of the public to attend to voice their opinion.

Name the Trains Contest The City has officially launch the “Name the Trains” contest which is open to children and youth under the age of 16. This contest allows future transit users to suggest names to be used for the 40 train cars that will service the Confederation Line and the Trillium Line. Please remember the following guidelines when choosing a name: • It should be short (maximum of 16 characters, spaces included) • It should be related to trains, or train service • It should have a Canadian or Ottawa-related significance • It must fit into one or more of these categories: People, Animals, Natural World, Culture or History • Names should be bilingual or easily translatable (English & French) • Names should be friendly, have a pleasant sound and be easy to remember Each participant can submit as many name suggestions as they wish, but he or she can only win once. Please remember that every participant must get permission from a parent or guardian to enter this contest. The deadline for submissions is December 8, 2017, and a selection panel will review the name submissions, with the winners announced in 2018.

Take time to remember

emembrance Day falls on a Saturday this year, so we can expect even larger turnouts than ever at the various Remembrance ceremonies around the region, including the service at the National War Memorial at Confederation Square in downtown Ottawa. But Saturday or not, Remembrance Day services have been attracting more and more in recent years as appreciation for the service of those in the Armed Forces both in the past and today continues to grow. The 100th anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge marked earlier this year further enhanced our view of the sacrifices made in battle by so many thousands of young Canadian soldiers on that muddy battlefield a century ago. Indeed, many claim that Canada came of age as a nation due to battles like Vimy and Passchendaele in the First World War. It has taken decades, though, for Canadians in general to realize the horrors of war which these soldiers endured, battling in overseas lands to protect our freedom and democracy here in Canada. Slowly, there has been increasing awareness of these wartime — and peacetime — sacrifices by Canadian soldiers. So, today it is not unusual to hear a soldier in uniform, perhaps riding a bus, being thanked for his or her service or someone in conversation thanking a person for his or her service when learning of their

military involvement. In this world of terrorism and war in so many places around the world, there is now evolving an ever-increasing respect and admiration for those who are putting their lives on the line to protect our way of life in Canada. But Remembrance Day is serving yet another function as well. It serves to focus the attention of Canadians on their country and how fortunate we as Canadians are to live in such a free and open society where people can pursue their dreams and aspirations. So Remembrance Day, while a time of sombre remembrance, is also a time of reflective celebration, knowing that thanks to the sacrifices and efforts of so many, we are a country where the rule of law and respect for all prevail. We are fortunate to live in such a country and we must never forget that Canada is what it is today because so many died and so many more have served on the battlefields of Europe, Korea and elsewhere in the world. We are a country formed by the experiences of war but, thankfully, are not adherents of such warlike behaviour. Knowing our history and, more importantly, remembering it must never be lost. Respecting Remembrance Day is one way of ensuring this as the years go on.

Who’s ready for legalized pot? How about nobody?

s we lurch toward the July 1 celebration of marijuana becoming legal in Canada, we encounter confusing signposts along the way. For example, just the other day it was announced that a giant U.S. liquor company will partner with a Smiths Falls company to make cannabisinfused drinks. Already such drinks, with fruity flavours to appeal to young people, are on sale in U.S. states where marijuana is legal. Drinkable marijuana: did anybody think about that when legalization was being hailed? Given that there is already edible marijuana, the cookies, gummy bears and, yes, cotton candy already in production, one of the major drawbacks to marijuana use — having to smoke it — is being removed. So more people will be able to use it easily. Including more kids.

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town Another signpost: 58.5 per cent of Canadians in a recent survey said they had concerns about children and youth having greater access to recreational marijuana when it is legal. This despite the federal government’s claim that legalization of marijuana will make it somehow less available to young people. Interestingly, the drinkable marijuana story coincides with another news item, in which the federal Liberal government announces a five-year, $36.4-million campaign to help teach Canadians — especially young Canadians — about the health and safety risks

of using marijuana. Perhaps that has something to do with the opposition of addiction-research people to legalization and concerns expressed in the medical community about the effects of marijuana on young brains. Here’s another signpost: Richmond, B.C. city council has voted unanimously to send a letter to the provincial and federal governments outlining its opposition to legalization. The council is asking for jurisdiction to impose stricter rules, and to allow councils and landlords to bar marijuana use in their buildings. “The federal government is going to do what they’re going to do,” said one councillor. “But we as a city must be allowed to control where and how those products are being sold.” Richmond’s statement is but one example of the peculiar governmental framework surrounding legalization — namely, that the federal govern-

Trainy McTrainFace? LRT train naming contest launches for kids BY ERIN MCCRACKEN erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Trainy McTrainface? That was Mayor Jim Watson’s quip as a possible name for one of Ottawa’s 34 light-rail transit trains that will be running along the east-west Confederation line, which opens next year, and six on the northsouth Trillium line. The Ottawa Express, Canada Rail, Safe Train, Candy Train and Thomas were other pitches put forward by schoolchildren from Gloucester High, Immaculata Catholic High School and Des Pins Catholic elementary school as city officials launched a train naming contest at the Belfast LRT maintenance and storage facility on Nov. 2. OC Transpo staff later said on Twitter that Trainy McTrainface has already been used in Sweden, and that the name has too many characters to be eligible for the Ottawa contest. Cumberland Coun. Stephen Blais, chair of the transit commission, said the contest is a chance for kids and youth in the city to get involved in the LRT project and “Ottawa’s future.”

Mackenzie Cadieux, 14, (left) from Immaculata Catholic High School, Sofora Tarte, 10, from Des Pins Catholic elementary school, and Nanjiba Hoque, 14, from Gloucester High, join councillors Stephen Blais, Keith Egli, Mayor Jim Watson and Ottawa South MP David McGuinty at the Belfast LRT yard on Nov. 2 to launch a train-naming contest. “Our young residents are going to grow up riding these trains, and we’re very excited to give them an opportunity to be part of the city’s LRT legacy and name the trains that they will be travelling on,” Watson said. Knoxdale-Merivale Coun. Keith Egli, chair of the city’s transportation committee, said there will be 34 Alstom-built trains on the Confederation line, plus six diesel trains on the north-south Trillium line, that

will each need a name. The contest is open to kids in Ottawa ages 16 and under until Dec. 8. Participants can submit as many entries as they like, but each can only win once. Names are to be related to trains, a train service or feature a Canadian or Ottawa connection. They must be bilingual or easily translated, be 16 characters or less, as well as friendly, pleasant and easy to remember, Egli said, adding that famous Canadians, an animal that lives

in the Ottawa region, a popular city landmark or an Ottawarelated cultural or historical reference can serve as inspirations. “Think of it this way. You may have been named after a grandparent or an aunt or an uncle,” he told the high school and elementary students. “You may have been named after a character from literature or a historical figure,” Egli said. “You may even have been given a name because it sounded strong or beautiful or inspirational or just plain cool.” Ottawa South MP David McGuinty told the young crowd they have to give the contest their best shot at choosing

something that will stand out. His great grandparents, who lived on a farm in the Ottawa Valley, told him that in 1910, 90 per cent of all Canadians lived in rural areas. McGuinty also told the students that by the time they are 20 years old, 90 per cent will be living in an urban environment, and that the Ottawa and Gatineau region is one of the fastest growing in the country. He said the LRT network is key to reducing pollution and addressing climate change. “That’s also why these trains are so important, that’s why this system is so important for us and that’s also why it’s really

cool for all of you to be here,” he said. Contest winners will be invited to a special event in 2018 with Watson and his council colleagues to reveal the new names. Pizza may be on the menu, the mayor hinted, prompting a buzz of excitement. Watson also had a spur-ofthe-moment idea to invite the winners to ride the entire length of the system on opening day. “And of course you’ll have the pride of knowing that the name you’ve submitted will be placed on one of the LRT trains,” he said.

The local Alzheimer Society has changed its name, but not its mission

The Alzheimer Society of Ottawa and Renfrew County has a new name!

When the organization first came into being, Alzheimer’s disease was the best known and most prevalent form of dementia. This has changed and Alzheimer’s disease is now thought to represent less than 30% of all dementias.*

Resettlement team welcomes its last stateless Tibetan to Ottawa BY ERIN MCCRACKEN erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Excited cheers went up, and banners were hastily unfurled as Kunsang Lhundup took his first steps toward a new life in Ottawa. One by one, his well wishers approached to drape long, silky white traditional scarves, or khatas, around his neck in greeting. Lhundup’s arrival at the Ottawa International Airport the evening of Nov. 2 marked a major milestone in the Tibetan Resettlement Project in Ottawa, a volunteer organization that formed in 2012 to sponsor 97 of 1,000 Tibetans permitted by the federal government to come to Canada. “It feels surreal,” said Old Ottawa South resident and project chair Cornelius von Baeyer. “After five years, this is the 20th ceremony at the base of these stairs.” Lhundup is the last to arrive under the Ottawa project. The 41-year-old’s reaction after finally arriving in his new homeland was a blend of exhaustion and deep emotion

Tibetan community in a remote part of northeast India near the Myanmar border, he worked for India’s Special Frontier Force, a paramilitary group deployed along the Himalayan border.

“At the moment, he says anything he’ll do,” Lhalungpa said, translating for Lhundup. “And that’s how it works. The people will come and do anything, and they learn. When you come in, you come with very little employment history.” Those who have already settled into life here have taken language courses to develop their English. They’ve also been paired with mentors to help them secure work, in addition to receiving other assistance from their sponsors. The resettlement initiative was spurred by the federal government at the request of the Dalai Lama, Tibet’s spiritual leader, during his 2007 visit here. Tibet’s government-inexile, based in India, selected those who would come to Canada based on a lottery system and other requirements. While there are thousands of Tibetans in Toronto, Calgary and Vancouver who were ready to welcome the newcomers, just one- to twodozen lived in Ottawa which

was the reason the project was launched. “They couldn’t just go to an existing Tibetan community (here) and say, ‘Absorb 100 people,’” von Baeyer said. “We had to create a new community sponsor, a particular type of organization for immigration.” The project team has generated $150,000 since 2012 and drawn support from hundreds of people who contributed in-kind donations, such as house furnishings and other supplies. The Tibetan community has since flourished around Donald Street and St. Laurent Boulevard in the Castle Heights and Cyrville communities, not far from where Pema Choedon now lives. She was in Lhundup’s shoes almost four years ago when she arrived at the Ottawa airport from India. “I was really nervous because it was my first time,” she recalled. But she isn’t worried for Lhundup’s future. See FINAL, page 11

“We have lots of people here so we can help him find a job or make a resume,” said Choedon. “It’s like a family,” she said, adding that she and Lhundup were neighbours in India, as are many of those already here in Ottawa. Resettling Tibetans in the same Canadian cities who knew each other in India is one of the unique aspects of the program. “I call him my brother.” Today, Choedon spends her mornings learning English before heading to her esthetician job at an east-end salon. She has her eye on studying to one day become a registered massage therapist, and dreams of sponsoring her fiancé to come to Canada. It is the generosity of the Ottawa volunteers who are making a real difference, said Jurme Wangda, one of Ottawa’s original Tibetans, having arrived here with his Canadian wife in 1991. He too has been volunteering on the sponsorship committee.

Kunsang Lhundup stands draped in long, silky white traditional welcoming scarves following his Nov. 2 arrival at the Ottawa International Airport. “The Canadian friends have been really wonderful,” the Hunt Club Park resident said. Hamilton-area Conservative MP David Sweet joined the welcoming committee

in his role as vice-chair of the Canadian Parliamentary Friends of Tibet. “We created the vehicle for them to come,” said Sweet, who also sat on a governmental sub-committee for international human rights that has been championing the rights of Tibetans. “It’s rewarding to see the community happy (that) it’s happened,” he said of the sponsorship program, led nationally by the Project Tibet Society. “This is just a small part of it. We still have beautiful dreams one day that Tibet will have an autonomous relationship with China.” The goal is for the Chinese government to recognize the cultural identity of Tibetans and their right to self governance, Sweet said. Language freedoms are a critical ingredient, said Lhalungpa, since the Chinese government continues to place restrictions on those and other rights, as well as repress the population. “Lhasa (the capital of Tibet) is the city with the larg-

Sometimes cattle manage to escape from their keepers

y now you have probably seen one of last week’s hyperlocal news headlines: Missing Cow. It came to all local news outlets from the OPP portal. My first thought was, that cow probably isn’t even missing and she is getting all of this attention. She is probably just snuggling up to her sister in this damp weather and the Augusta Township farmer can’t get a good head count. Happens to our kind all the time. But then, this must have been a pretty important cow because the farmer involved felt the need to call the police. Perhaps he lives near a busy roadway. Many of us in Kemptville remember the day, about 15 years ago, when the technicians at the college barns were attempting to load a bunch of cows onto a cattle truck. The animals went successfully if not exactly willingly up the ramp onto the back of the truck. Things seemed to be going fairly smoothly, until one of the cows managed to push the front door open. The cattle were delicately hopping down out of the truck as quickly as they had entered it. There was quite a bit of noise from the animals, and the herd technicians could hardly hear themselves think.

DIANA FISHER The Accidental Farmwife

“Our cattle escaped a few times during our first few years as ranchers. Perhaps they were teaching us about the value of good fencing.” When the lead hand climbed up the ramp to close the door on the last of the animals, he discovered what had happened. This was before the time when everyone carried a cellphone, so it took a few minutes to get the word out about an entire herd of cattle on the loose, on Prescott Street south. For some reason, the cows turned left toward Bedell Hill instead of right

toward town. I do believe their grand entrance into the bustling metropolis of downtown Kemptville would have made a better story. Imagine looking out the window of the library to see 20 cows running past. However, they jogged, trotted and danced farther south, eventually reaching the railroad tracks and the highway. This is where the police

caught up to them. The officers couldn’t safely block traffic and corral cows at the same time, so at least one of the animals had to be put down. We didn’t have a local radio station at the time, but the story travelled quickly to Ottawa radio. Later that afternoon I heard the news on the air. The story was followed, unfortunately, by an ad that said “ground beef is on sale this week at Jimmy Dean’s in Winchester …” Then there was the time another herd managed to escape from their unsupervised, off-the-farm location just a few years ago near Oxford Mills. My daughter met them on the road as she attempted to drive into town, and called me. “Ma? What colour are our cows?” I confirmed they were not our herd but thanked her for the tip and put it on the air at the Kemptville radio station. The herd of cream-coloured cattle was spotted a few times over the next few days, wandering into yards to nibble on vegetable gardens and lounging in the shade of trees by the creek. They continued to resist being captured until eventually the owner called our drover.

He miraculously got all 12 cows in his truck by luring them with a lactating mama cow. Our cattle escaped a few times during our first few years as ranchers. Perhaps they were teaching us about the value of good fencing. Mocha was particularly fond of the ripe apples she could smell under the trees on the front field. She broke out a few times, ate her fill and then tried to tiptoe back into the barnyard via the shed. She left evidence of her travels in the smashed flower beds. I don’t know whether they managed to successfully locate the missing animal that made the news last week. If they are still searching, it might help people to know there was at least one glaring error, I believe, in the police report. Unless Bessie is clutching two rather large water balloons between her knees in the submitted photo, that is not a cow at all. It is a bull. He is probably being lured by some animals in heat down the road.

‘Waste not, want not’ was the way in Mary’s household

here was no way of getting out of eating a heaping bowl full of porridge for breakfast. Mother made enough to feed half of Renfrew County. And even though it was my least favourite morning food, it was put before me, and I was expected to eat the bowl clean. If not, I would get the usual story of the starving Armenians, which meant I was supposed to be grateful that I at least had something to put in my mouth. Occasionally, and only occasionally, Mother would come home from Briscoe’s General Store with a box of Shredded Wheat. Although I was no more fond of it than I was of porridge, it was the box and the treasures inside that thrilled me to the bone! The cereal came in an oblong box, and inside were about three layers of shredded wheat “biscuits,” divided by

Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK

cardboard sheets. It was those sheets which caused me to rejoice when Mother found a few extra pennies to add this special cereal to our order. Each sheet had a different picture, usually a country scene, and sometimes an animal looking out around a tree. My sister Audrey and my three brothers thought they were much too old to be bothered with the cards from the Shredded Wheat box, and so I became the sole owner. As soon as the box came in the house, Mother would let me rip it open and remove the cards ... carefully of course, so that the

18 Ottawa South News - Thursday, November 9, 2017

biscuits wouldn’t be broken. I would get my crayons and spend time colouring each card, and once done, they would be added to a growing collection, which I treasured, and kept securely hidden in my washstand drawer. That was because my brother Emerson threatened to fork them into the Findlay Oval when I wasn’t looking. He thought once the cards were coloured, they should be done away with. But I saved each one, and soon had a stack inches thick, held together with string. I could spend many an hour just

sitting quietly with my pack of cards, looking and re-looking at them. Sometimes I would go upstairs when I had nothing else to do, and take the pile of cards out of my washstand and lay them out on the bed. I had so many that they would cover the entire quilt. The cards came with a little hole in one corner, and if you wanted to, you could put a piece of string through the hole. But I could never figure out what on earth, if anything, this added to the cards. The little loaves of Shredded Wheat weren’t individually wrapped, of course. They just sat one on top of the other inside the box. As well as loving the cards, I also loved it when the box was empty, and I could lay claim to it as well. It made a perfect bed for the smallest of my dolls, and I once tried to cram my new kitten into one, but she was having none of that.

And when it came to eating the Shredded Wheat, like the porridge, it certainly didn’t appeal to me. Mother would pour boiling water on one of the

My sister Audrey and my three brothers thought they were much too old to be bothered with the cards from the Shredded Wheat box little loaves, drain the bowl, and then add the cream and brown sugar. The rest of the family thought it was a real treat. Of course, Father would still have to have his fried potatoes and salt pork. It didn’t take long for the Shredded Wheat boxes to become battered and so I would

have to tear it down into flat pieces. It was then added to the wood box, along the side where Father kept old copies of the Renfrew Mercury and the Family Herald and Weekly Star. It too would go to help start the Findlay Oval in the morning. Like everything else that came into the house, be it from the general store, or from Renfrew, or from the garden, or the smoke house, nothing was wasted. It gave me great satisfaction to know that one of Father’s favourite sayings “waste not ... want not” could be even applied to the Shredded Wheat boxes that on rare occasions came into our house.

Canadians gather on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, around cenotaphs, parks, community halls, workplaces, schools and homes each year to observe a moment of silence and to mark sacrifices that have come from war. On Nov. 11, beginning at 10:20 a.m., the Royal Canadian Legion National Remembrance Day Ceremony at the National War Memorial in Ottawa will begin. Gov. Gen. Julie Payette as well as representatives of the government of Canada will attend the ceremony. Dominion President of the Royal Canadian Legion David Flannigan and members of veterans organizations and diplomatic corps will also be in attendance. The Silver Cross Mother this year is Diana Abel of Brampton, Ont. Abel will place a wreath, in honour of her only son Cpl. Michael David Abel who was killed in the line of duty on May 3, 1993 while serving in Belet Huen, Somalia as part of a United Nations peacekeeping effort during the early part of the Somali civil war. VIEWING

Spectators are encouraged to come early to the National War Memorial to get a good vantage point. The ceremony will also be projected on jumbo screens set up around the memorial with numerous speakers broadcasting the audio of the entire ceremony. From 8:30 to 10 a.m., the Virtual Wall of Honour and Remembrance will be displayed on these screens. According to the legion, Canadians have been “building” this virtual wall of almost 2,000 photographs of Veterans who have now passed.

History of the poppy ROYAL CANADIAN LEGION

Each November, poppies bloom on the lapels and collars of millions of Canadians. The significance of the poppy can be traced back to the Napoleonic Wars in the 19th century, over 110 years before being adopted in Canada. Records from that time indicate how thick poppies grew over the graves of soldiers in the area of Flanders, France. Fields that had been barren before battle exploded with the blood-red flowers after the fighting ended. During the tremendous bombardments of the war, the chalk soils became rich in lime from rubble, allowing the popaver rhoeas to thrive. When the war ended, the lime was quickly absorbed and the poppy began to disappear again. The person who first introduced the poppy to Canada and the Commonwealth was Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae of Guelph, Ont., a Canadian medical officer during the First World War. McCrae penned the poem “In Flanders Fields” on a scrap of paper in May, 1915 on the day following the death of a fellow soldier. Little did he know those 13 lines would become enshrined in the hearts and minds of all who would wear them. McCrae’s poem was published in Punch Magazine in December of that same year, and the poem later served as inspiration three years later for Moina Michael, an American teacher. Michael made a pledge to always wear a poppy as a sign of Remembrance. During a visit to the United States in

1920, a French woman named Madame Guerin learned of the custom. Guerin decided to make and sell poppies to raise money for children in war-torn areas of France. The Great War Veteran’s Association in Canada (our predecessor) officially adopted the poppy as its Flower of Remembrance on July 5, 1921. Today, the poppy is worn each year during the Remembrance period to honour Canada’s Fallen. The Legion also encourages the wearing of a poppy for the funeral of a veteran and for any commemorative event honouring fallen veterans. It is not inappropriate to wear a poppy during other times to commemorate fallen veterans and it is an individual choice to do so, as long as it’s worn appropriately. Thanks to the millions of Canadians who wear the Legion’s lapel poppy each November, the little red flower has never died, and the memories of those who fell in battle remain strong.

Submit a photo for Virtual Wall Pilgrimage of Remembrance As a way to honour and remember relatives and friends who have served Canada, Canadians are invited to forward a photograph of a deceased veteran to Dominion Command to be displayed on large video screens located near the National War Memorial and shown prior to the start of the Remembrance Day Ceremony held on Nov. 11. Deceased Canadian veterans (including those who were part of the merchant navy and ferry command), whose death was attributable to any cause before or after they served, can be part of the Virtual Wall of Honour. • Include high resolution electronic files or high resolution photo prints (the quality of the image submitted dictates the quality of the image displayed). • Include the veteran’s name, years of service, element or force, regiment/unit to which the departed belonged. • One image for each honoured veteran will be used • No original photographs, service records or other documentation please; they cannot be

returned. Submissions will be included in the 2018 edition. Send photos to the Royal Canadian Legion Dominion Command, 86 Aird Place, Ottawa ON, K2L 0A1 or RememberingThem@legion. ca.

The Royal Canadian Legion Pilgrimage of Remembrance began in 1928 with a visit to Vimy, France, for the unveiling of the Canadian National Vimy Memorial. Since that time, promoting a pilgrimage has been a part of our efforts to encourage Remembrance. Pilgrimages are conducted every two years. The next Pilgrimage of Remembrance is scheduled for July, 2019. Please note the Legion’s Pilgrimage is conducted

in English. Individuals wishing to attend the pilgrimage should indicate their interest to the Dominion Command Coordinator, Danny Martin: dmartin@legion.ca Today’s pilgrimage encompasses some of the most important, as well as some of the least known, events of the First World War and the Second World War. Over 15 days, pilgrims experience being in the trenches of the First World War and the beaches of Normandy, and visit sites throughout Northern France and Belgium. They also experience the emotions of the Veterans, and of those they liberated. Ceremonies of Remembrance will be conducted at the cemeteries where so many Canadians found their final rest-

ing place. Taking a pilgrimage is important for a variety of reasons. For those who fought on the battlefields, a pilgrimage provides an opportunity to not only visit their fallen comrades, but for closure that may only be possible through revisiting the site(s) of so many memories. For those who lost family and loved ones on the fields, a pilgrimage is a way to shorten the distance between home and the site of their loss. For people who only connect with the battlefields through history books and our Canadian heritage, visiting these sites is an opportunity to more fully understand the sacrifices that were made by many for the freedom that we continue to enjoy today.

Time to remember the sacrifices of so many — Vous n’êtes pas oublié(e)s!

orget the zombie apocalypse. A new report suggests we may be in the midst of a sleep-deprivation epidemic among teenagers. I often think back to the bedtime battles I had when my kids were toddlers. It’s a theme well captured in children’s books. The child gets a bath, bottle, book and cuddles in bed. The lights go out. Five minutes later a small voice calls from the dark, “Mom, I’m thirsty.” And this goes on countless times for the next 30 minutes as exhausted parents, who really just want to veg out in front of the TV for an hour or check Facebook, are interrupted countless times. Years ago, we managed to nip this in the bud with our boys. We had the three-B routine. They were told to address all concerns before lights out. Failure to comply led to an automatic bedroom door closure. There are three reasons we

A new study in the Journal of Sleep Medicine suggests we may have to return to our drill-sergeant ways. The report says adolescents are getting far less sleep today than they were a decade ago. While it may seem like hyperbole, researchers are suggesting the social and health repercussions of a sleep-deprived generation are vast and dangerous. Researchers looked at sleep data among teens between 2009 and 2015 from two major U.S. surveys of more than

sleep among teens. The time teens spend doing homework, working for pay and watching television appeared to remain stable or actually decrease over the six-year period, while use of smartphones and other screen technology increased substantially. SCREEN TIME

Although fewer than two hours per day of screen time doesn’t seem to affect nighttime sleep, the authors suggest a correlation between excessive time spent on screens and the sleep deprivation epidemic.

Online threat focus of police investigation Machinery fire snuffed BY ERIN MCCRACKEN erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Canterbury High School officials say an investigation has revealed the school did not receive a threat. The school went into shelter-in-place mode and its exterior doors were locked throughout the day on Nov. 2 while police investigated reports of “a suspicious social media message,” Const. Marc Soucy, Ottawa police spokesperson, said at the time. It mentioned a weapon, said police spokesperson Const. Chuck Benoit. The exact nature of the message and who sent or posted it are not yet known. “It’s all these unknowns we’re checking into,” Benoit said. “There was nothing found at the school that corFOR SALE

on Oct. 31. School principal Al Johnson alerted parents about the situation early on in the investigation. “There appears to be growing rumours about this on social media, which is creating some anxiety and further speculation in the community,” he said. Supervision at the school was subsequently increased, and Johnson assured parents and guardians that all students FOR SALE

and staff were safe and regular classroom activities were ongoing. By the end of the day, the principal updated parents to say school officials investigated the rumour with police. “There was no threat received by the school and no evidence of any activity which warrants further action or concern,” Johnson said. He used the incident to issue a reminder about the power of the online rumour mill. “We did take the opportunity to reassure students that the school was safe and to remind everyone about the risks of rumours and social media speculation,” Johnson said. “I understand that situations like this can create anxiety and we will make available counselling support to any students that express concern.”

Fire broke out in a piece of machinery in a business east of Greely, prompting employees to evacuate the building. The Ottawa fire department received a 911 call just before 3 p.m. on Nov. 1. Crews responded to the 5500-block of Power Road near Rideau Road, east of Bank Street. “The caller indicated that employees were evacuating as a precaution and no injuries were reported at that time,” Capt. Danielle Cardinal, Ottawa fire spokesperson, said in a statement. The first crew on scene declared a working fire in a piece of machinery inside a building on the property. Firefighters cooled the steel unit with water and closely monitored condi-

Ridgemont bank branch robbed ‘Violent’ shoplifting suspect wanted after Alta Vista assault BY ERIN MCCRACKEN

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Ottawa police robbery investigators are seeking the public’s help in identifying a lone male after a bank was robbed in the Ridgemont community. The man entered the branch at a plaza in the 2700-block of Alta Vista Drive near Bank Street on Oct. 16 around 11:20 a.m. He passed a note to an employee demanding cash, police said Oct. 31. The robber did not indicate he was armed with a weapon, nor was one seen. After securing an undisclosed quantity of cash, he fled on foot. “We don’t know if he had a car parked close by,” said Staff Sgt. Michael Haarbosch, head of

Ottawa Police Service/Submitted

A lone male suspect is wanted after a bank was robbed at Alta Vista and Bank. the robbery unit. No one was injured in the incident. Police described the suspect as a thin-faced black male, about 25 years old, and about six-foot tall. Investigators released two images of the suspect and hope

someone will recognize him based on his clothing: a hooded black and grey sweatshirt with “Old Navy” written on the front, dark pants, possibly with an army fatigue pattern, a baseball cap, gloves and beige or brown boots. “We’re hoping someone will recognize the clothing or has first-hand knowledge about who’s responsible by virtue of the fact they bragged about it,” said Haarbosch. There have been 16 bank robberies in Ottawa so far this year, representing a 38-per-cent decline compared to this time last year, when there were 26. Anyone with information is asked to call police at 613-2361222, ext. 5116, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

CARRIER OF THE MONTH

CARRIER OF THE MONTH CARRIER OF THE MONTH

The first of the Remembrance Day ceremonies began in Vernon with plenty of Veterans, guests and the Castor Valley Children’s Choir singing songs. Under the sunny skies with a little chill in the air, the soldiers who fought for our country and freedom were remembered by family, friends and members of the clergy in a touching sermon with the laying of the traditional wreaths. MP Pierre Poilievre joined me along with many military personnel, Lions’ Club members and Vets to thank and remember them with the reading of their names.

Second Annual Haunted House My second Annual Haunted House at the Greely Community Centre was a tremendous success. We partnered up with South Rural Ottawa Recreation and the Greely Lions to put on a spectacular event for children of all ages! There were over 200 children that enjoyed the various organized activities such as cookie and pumpkin decorating, bowling, a photo booth and of course the Haunted House! The Haunted House was incredibly decorated and setup with spooky touch and feel activities along the way. I was blown away by the imaginative rooms, games and detail put into this event. Words are not enough to describe it! It was also great having the Ottawa Library Haunted Bookmobile and the Volunteer Firefighters join us for the event. Judging by the amount of free loot bags, chips and drinks that were given away, everyone had lots of fun! Many thanks to all the great staff and volunteers with my office, and South Rural Ottawa. I’m happy that everyone had a great time!

Ontario Paramedic Association It was a huge honour to receive an Appreciation Award from the Ontario Paramedic Association during the Paramedicine Expo and Conference. I am very thankful to Darryl Wilton, who nominated me for the award. The evening was very touching. Some standout moments were the entertainment from the Paramedic pipe band and dancers, along with the tolling of the bell in recognition for all those who lost their lives over the last year. As a City Councillor, I consider the safety of my residents to be one of my highest priorities. Over the past few years, I have worked closely with Emergency and Protective Services and council colleagues to increase the number of Paramedics within the City of Ottawa. Adding these paramedics has help provide faster response times across the city and especially in the rural wards. I have also worked on a project to ensure all the Royal Canadian Legions in Ottawa, not already equipped with the AED heart defibrillators, will have one provided by Ottawa Paramedic Services. Our veterans risked their lives to protect us, and we felt it was important to protect them by having access to these live saving devices. I will continue to work with Ottawa’s Emergency and Protective Services and champion the real heroes, Ontario Paramedics. Everyday these brave men and women put their lives at risk by responding to emergency calls and saving lives. I can’t thank you all enough for your dedication, service and sacrifice. You can find a calendar of upcoming events in the community on my website: www.georgedarouze.com.

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 An emotional encounter that you have with someone close to you gives you clarity and peace of mind, Aries. This is the catalyst for making personal changes that improve your life.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Optimism abounds this week, Leo. You are ready to tackle any project big or small. Even though you may feel like you can take on the world, enlist a few helpers.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Your great imagination often causes you to be the life of any gathering, Sagittarius. This week you may have to let others’ creativity take center stage.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, it’s good to want to help others. But do not let someone take advantage of your generosity. Be as accommodating as you can and then communicate your feelings.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Safeguard your personal information, Virgo, because not everyone you meet is on the up and up. Be cautious without being suspicious and things will turn out fine.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Changes, particularly early in the week, will do you good, Capricorn. Rearrange the furniture or even try out a new hairstyle for some new perspective.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, take some time to do something with your partner, who can probably use your help right now. This can change your life emotionally and financially.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, this week you can dedicate your time to something that will educate you further on an area of concentration you want to pursue. It may be a charitable cause.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, remain tight-lipped about a positive development. You won’t have to stay silent forever, but wait a little longer to share the news.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Hoping and wishing for something without taking any action will not lead to satisfaction, Cancer. Figure out what you hope to achieve and then work toward that goal.
