I was pleased to be joined by the Minister of Health and Long-Term Care Deb Matthews, to announce the official opening of the new Ottawa Birth and Wellness Centre. The centre is the first of its kind in Ontario and is located right here in Ottawa South. This is yet another one of the ways our government is working to make health care services even more accessible. This midwife-led birth centre will welcome up to 450 births a year, giving women in the Ottawa area a new childbirth option in a comfortable, home-like setting. The Ottawa Birth and Wellness Centre will also offer services in both official languages.

Francophone leadership program gets federal funding brier.dodge@metroland.com

News - The Alliance for Francophone Women has received $199,000 for a 24-month project that will encourage more francophone women to take leadership roles. The project, which received funding in the spring, is spending the first year of the project looking at what is holding women back from leadership roles. The second year of the project will help different community groups and universities implement and run leadership activities. After the program ends, the goal is for the groups to continue to run the activities independently, said project co-ordinator Edwige Affaa. Affaa is based out of the Place de la Francophonie, but the program will be carried out across the country. In Ottawa, the project will work in partnership with La Cité Collegiale, the University of Ottawa, St. Paul University, Dominican University College and the Franco-Ontarian Cultural Union. “Projects like this are extremely important,” said Kellie Leitch, federal minister of labour and minister of status of women. “Encourage your colleagues to participate actively on campus and beyond that. Maybe some of you in the future will be running for office.” The projects are aiming to increase the percentage of women in leadership roles in organizations, businesses and government, and take away some of the barriers women face. Orléans MP Royal Galipeau was at Place de la Francophonie on Sept. 16 alongside the minister for the announcement, as were representatives from the different Ottawa organizations and schools that will run activities created during the project. There has been $5.9 million in funding given out under the Status of Women Canada’s call for proposals for the promotion of leadership for girls and young women.

“It sets the stage for a great leadership role,” Leitch said. “It will also help your local communities, the economy and the country.”

Kellie Leitch, minister of labour and minister of status of women, speaks with Edwige Affaa, left, the project coordinator for a new francophone women’s leadership initiative. La Cité college student Geneviève Latour, Elaine Gauthier-Mamaril, a student at Domincan University College and India Madar from the University of Ottawa were also present at the announcement to represent Ottawa schools which will benefit.

Daughter’s memory lives on through race ing rounds of chemotherapy. Her last days were spent at Roger’s House, a palliative care centre for children. For Nolan-Downs, the loss is still very raw.

Race looks to bring community together, raise funds Continued from page 5

Nolan-Downs will help sponsor the race for the second year in a row through her dance company, DanceRoots, and will be running the 5k leg, and helping launch the event by addressing the crowd. As she runs, Nolan-Downs will take comfort in knowing she is one step closer to helping find a cure with hundreds of other runners. The support her family has felt from the community has been remarkable, she said, adding that if it weren’t for them, it would be much more difficult to cope. “There are waves of emotion,” she said. “You just have to let it come.” Last year, the family walked 1k with her, a challenge for Chase who was getting weaker as time went on. “She fought hard all her life,” said Nolan-Downs. South Ottawa Race Day is an event that will always be close to their hearts, she added. “It was because of Chase

that I got involved,” she said. And it is because of Chase that her memory will always live on, especially in DanceRoots.

There are waves of emotions. You just have to let it come. SARAH NOLAN-DOWNS

When Chase passed away, the dance community rallied together, bringing their choreography to schools in the area and raising for the Chase Downs Memorial Fund. A large painting of a tree with the inscription “Chase Your Dreams”, hangs in the foyer of DanceRoots, an artwork where, if one looks closely, they’ll see the painting was actually done by fingers. The painting was created by the students of Steve MacLean Public School in honour of Chase. When Nolan-Downs speaks of her late daughter, she remembers a very funny girl who loved to draw and write stories.

Although she was legally blind due to her cancer, she was always “business before pleasure”. “She took school very seriously, she had a huge heart, loved her brother and her sister,” said Nolan-Downs. “She never got in trouble. She did what was asked of her. The amount that her body went through…she persevered.” These days it takes more effort in finding the good in things, said Nolan-Downs, but she knows there is a community and family behind her, and rooms of young dancers. The South Ottawa Race Day takes place this Sunday, Sept. 29. The day’s events include a half-marathon, half-marathon relay, 10k, 5k, and 2k family fun run and walk. Volunteers are still needed. All proceeds from the race goes to brain cancer research. Organizers are hoping to exceed last year’s amount, which saw the community raise nearly $100,000.

Coping with tragedy

T

he awful events of Sept. 18 cost six people their lives. Naturally we all have questions about what went wrong when a double-decker OC Transpo bus struck a Via train near Fallowfield Station in Barrhaven. Yet, our priority in these days following the tragic event should be to care for those affected and let them know that their neighbours are here to help in any way they can. We will find out what happened as the Transportation Safety Board and Ottawa police complete their respective investigations. We may never know exactly why events unfolded as they did, but we’ll have a general idea. In the meantime, we should all make an effort to avoid speculation. Guessing at the cause serves no purpose and can only be hurtful. There is also no good reason to point fingers at past decisions about the design of rail crossing on Woodroffe Avenue and the Transitway where the collision took place. That crossing met all the existing standards of the day and is no different than hundreds – or possibly thousands – of crossings across the country. If that crossing is inherently dangerous then there is much work to do across Canada, and the federal government will have to help other levels of

government pay to keep citizens of this country safe by separating train lines for roads in many places. The TSB has committed to sharing all its information when their work is done and has also promised to alert the public and authorities if they find a glaring safety issue during their work. We can ask nothing more and nothing less. But as for now, many residents across Ottawa are bound to know someone who was on the bus, on the train or sitting in their car on Woodroffe Avenue when the collision occurred. This was a traumatic event, and those who witnessed it deserve our support to cope with the emotional fallout. Some will also know the families of the six people – Michael Bleakney, Connor Boyd, Karen Krzyzewski, Kyle Nash, Rob More and Dave Woodard – who lost their lives. Those family members need all the help and support this city can afford them. But perhaps forgotten among those who might be shaken by this tragedy are the OC Transpo bus drivers. It’s never easy losing a colleague, and many drivers may recall the times they’ve driven past that site and think it could’ve been them and their passengers. So next time you’re getting off a bus, take a moment to thank your bus driver for getting you there safe and sound -- their job is far from easy.

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

L

ast week was Democracy Week, which you probably didn’t notice either. There could have been something said about it in Parliament, but the House of Commons was prorogued. So most of us didn’t notice until it was too late. Except that it’s never too late to think about democracy. Why do so many of us, who live in one the most free countries of the world, decide not to vote when we get the chance on election day? Why do we, who are better educated than people in most countries of the world, know so little about public affairs? And why do we not care? People blame television for this. More recently, people blame the Internet. People blame the parents of Canada, who are too busy watching television to talk to their kids about democracy. People blame politicians for being such bozos. People blame the news media, who care more about sports and Miley Cyrus than about democracy. People blame our affluence and our freedom: We’re doing just fine so we don’t have to care about what our governments are doing. This is a big mistake, because government is with us every day -- sometimes less than we want, on issues such as homelessness, and sometimes more, on issues such as how

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town big a cross you can wear around your neck or whether you can put your inside furniture on your front porch. Most lovers of democracy are rightly steamed about Quebec’s charter of values, which stipulates what religious symbols government employees can’t wear. Less significant, but equally silly, are changes to Ottawa’s property maintenance bylaw, publicized recently, which would have required green bins to be stored in back yards. This has something to do with bureaucrats thinking green bins don’t look good on front porches. The same changes also contained a provision that indoor furniture shouldn’t be outdoors -- in other words, no chesterfield on the veranda. Nobody around city hall twigged that such recommendations might cause inconvenience

-- for example, to the many people in the city who don’t have back yards or garages or other places to keep their green bins out of sight; or people who can’t spend money on cool-looking outdoor furniture for their front porches. Away from city hall, people did notice, however. The proposed changes became subject to public debate and seem, like Quebec’s charter of values, on their way to being laughed out of existence. Mind you, the charter of values might take a little longer. In their rather different ways, both issues are examples of democracy being put to improper uses. We don’t elect a government to tell us what to wear on our heads or put on our front porches. In a democracy we can have whatever we want on our heads or our front porches, as long as we aren’t endangering anyone or interfering with anyone else’s rights. Putting the chesterfield on the front porch is fine as long as you’re not sitting on it playing the bagpipes at three in the morning, or vermin aren’t escaping from it (the chesterfield, not the bagpipes) into the neighbour’s yard. The chesterfield might not look so nice, but that’s a question of taste, and we don’t elect governments to rule on taste. If we did, politicians would dress a lot cooler than they do and their office walls wouldn’t have so many

plaques on them and pictures of the politicians shaking hands with celebrities. We are allowed to have our own tastes, especially if they are bad. Because who’s to say? Wide ties may come back. Obviously, the people sense this, hence the uproar, hence the retreat by city hall. This all happened during Democracy Week, by the way. Exercising the right to yell and protest and cause a public uproar is democracy in action. It’s messy sometimes, like the chesterfield on the front porch, but we’re comfortable with it.

Oh Quebec, I hardly knew ya! BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse

I

t was just weeks ago I flooded these pages with prose about my love of all things Quebecois. Quebec Premier Pauline Marois and her gang have cut my love affair short. The proposed Quebec charter of values, which seeks to ban public servants from wearing religious attire, is an affront to our democracy, our freedoms and all things Canadian. The charter – in direct contradiction with the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms -- would essentially forbid those working in public institutions from wearing religious dress. Excepted are small crosses and Star of David rings. Hijabs, oversized crucifixes and kippas are banned. The ban applies not only

to desk-job civil servants, but also to childcare workers in provincially-run daycares and health care professionals working in public hospitals. There is no doubt in anyone’s mind that the proposed legislation – designed to “protect the national identity� of the Quebecois from imaginary external threats -- is nothing short of racist. Before I get to the racism part, however, let’s talk about the imaginary threats -- because, even if there was justification for the Parti Quebecois’ Marois and company to “protect Quebec’s national identity,� – which there isn’t – there is absolutely nothing threatening the white, Christian population of Quebec. According to statistics, more than 82 per cent of people

living in Quebec identify as Christian; 12 per cent have no religious affiliation; three per cent are Muslim; one per cent are Jewish and less than half a per cent claim to be Hindu or Sikh. Where, exactly, is the threat? As La Presse journalist Patrick LagacĂŠ noted in his Sept. 11 column in the Globe and Mail, however, the point of this legislation is not to demonstrate racism, but the PQ is “part of a party that was scared to death in 2007 when it realised that identity politics in 21st-century Quebec have little to do with protecting French and everything to do with the public sphere of individual displays of religion – displays other than the ones Quebeckers were used to, at least, Muslim ones, mostly.â€? So yeah, racist politics. You know, for the sake of politics. In other words, the PQ looking to secure its popular voter base, which presides in the very white, very Catholic, very small town regions of Quebec. (Support for the charter of values where Quebeckers actually live with visible minorities is very

low). But look, there is an upside of putting these issues out front and centre – we get to see just how racist we all are. People in every province

have weighed in on the Quebec charter debate and the results have been both horrifying and at the same time honest. In Quebec, support for the PQ’s secular charter of values is hovering just above 40 per cent. Online comments from Canadians in other parts of the country would suggest

that those who support a secular society in the rest of Canada likely represent a similar number. Many scholars have pontificated on the subject of racism. See FREEDOM, page 11

Elementary schools a priority for community, says school board Final decision expected on Oct. 1 Sabine Gibbins Sabine.gibbins@metroland.com

News - The city’s public school board trustees are vying for a chance to have their projects listed as the number one priority. During the Ottawa Carleton District School Board’s committee of the whole meeting on Sept. 17, trustees heard from area residents on capital projects they felt are important in their community. They’ll submit these priorities to the Ministry of Education at the end of October. A total of eight projects are on the school board’s radar with three new elementary schools are at the top of its list. A few of the capital projects the school board has their eye on include new elementary schools in Stittsville, Findlay Creek and Half Moon Bay in alf MNHalBarrhaven. “The funding of these three new elementary schools would also serve to reduce significant existing and future enrolment pressures at a number of existing sites,� a report states.

Staff is recommending any projects which did not receive funding during the last submission in May 2012 be “pushed forward.� The last submission identified 16 capital projects. Eight of those priorities have been funded in some way by the province and are in various stages of completion. Over the past year, the Ministry of Education has received funding requests for over 300 projects, worth approximately $3.5 billion under the 2012 Capital Priorities Grant program. The ministry ended up funding 87 capital priority projects – including 39 new schools. The board is to submit its list to the province on Oct. 31. Trustees will debate and come up with a list ranking the city’s priorities during a meeting on Oct. 1. * The planned opening of a new Half Moon Bay public school in 2015 was part of a larger accommodation review in south Nepean in 2011, which included temporary revised grade structures at Cedarview Middle School and Barrhaven Public School.

* These arrangements are to end after the 2014-15 school year. Avalon Public School is in need of 12 portables to accommodate more room and to anticipate full-day kindergarten in 2015. * The renewal of the Department of National Defence lease at the CFB Uplands base, where Elizabeth Park Public School is located. This is the feeder school for the future Findlay Creek Public School. DND has indicated the board will no longer have access to the building in 2017, but regardless, the site will need to be looked at to accommodate more students in the future. Staff hope the Findlay Creek Elementary School project would have been considered a higher priority to the ministry. The report will provide updated budget figures for all of the eight projects. Any capital project funded by new ministry capital grants in the submission must open no later than the 2016-17 school year. The school board is also in the midst of a process which

will eventually result in the development of a more systemic approach to the overall evaluation of capital projects, according to a staff report. This is supposed to be completed throughout the new school year, with a preliminary report scheduled to be brought forth to the board in early 2014. Staff hope this new strategy will help the board determine the 2014 priority list. Barrhaven/Knoxdale-Meri-

vale trustee Donna Blackburn is rooting for a new school to be built in Half Moon Bay in the growing Barrhaven community. “Given that Barrhaven has undergone a comprehensive and complete accommodation review, from my point of view, it makes sense that this would be a priority for our community,� Blackburn said. Support from school board staff in this regard has been essential as well.

“Staff can’t put ‘number one’ beside each priority,� she said. “But at the end of the day, it’s a board of trustees decision, not a staff decision, and we do have to rank them. In a perfect world, we would rank all of them as number one and 20 projects would get funded. We need to look at this objectively.�

my secular Muslim friend’s place and hashing it all over. I just hope she isn’t wearing a scarf that day -- for fashion reasons or other -- or I’ll have to send her straight over to Quebec’s new squad policing the subject. But wait! As the Globe and Mail’s Jeffrey Simpson questioned, “Is the province now going to have a clothing-and-symbols police squad the way religious police in Iran check to see if any hair is showing beneath women’s head attire?� I think not. So, my Muslim pal and I, we’ll risk the wine and maybe, even, a Hermes scarf. You know, just for fun.

While most of us believe that the Charter of Rights and Freedoms makes Canada some sort of holier-than-thou, politically correct society, it’s actually come out in some academic circles that Canadians may, in fact, be more racist than our American counterparts and that our political correctness stifles any meaningful discussion or development on subjects of accommodation. By masking, rather than facing our beliefs, we actually perpetuate subtle prejudice, rather than putting it out in the forefront. So thanks,

Marois. While you’ve definitely thrown a bucket of cold water on my love for Quebec nationalism – including the love of wine, food and, well, kissing , and all that has always seemed integral to your secular well-being – you’ve simultaneously forced all Canadians to grapple with our internal prejudice. And since your bill doesn’t have a chance on God’s green Earth of becoming law in Canada -- where the Charter of Rights and Freedoms resides supreme and religious freedom is considered one of our integral rights – I’ll consider taking a bottle of wine over to

Mertikas said having the opportunity to share her art with others and give back simultaneously is a dream come true. “I am an immigrant myself,� she said. “The many services that United Way provides to newcomers – the community centre helps in this way, also,� she said. “I just pursued my dream to paint, to be a useful member of our society and community, and would gladly help out so many organizations over the years without ever thinking of this kind of recognition. I thought it enough that people enjoyed my art.� HALLMARK ARTIST

Mertikas and her colourful artwork are receiving recognition on a different scale. Earlier this year, Hallmark and UNICEF chose her paintings for use as cover art on greeting cards, making her the first Ottawa artist to have been selected by both companies. This is the 18th consecutive

year Mertikas’ art has been selected to appear on a UNICEF card. Proceeds from the sale of the UNICEF cards go towards helping children around the world receive the basic necessities of life. “It’s something I believe in seeing,� she said. “All of my art is full of children and joy and I would only like to see other children benefit from some relief as well.� As an artist, Mertikas wishes to see many places benefit and share in her art through donations, fundraisers, card sales, and auctions. “I thought was just a plus for me to show my work,� she said. “I felt super proud, not for me, but for my daughters and especially my grandkids who were there clapping for me – which is usually the other way around. I hope to instill in my family the drive to help in any small way we can in life.� “I know that good comes from doing good somewhere down the road. An amazing recognition for me. I am honoured.� For more information on Mertikas’ art, please visit her website at www.katerinamertikas.com.

University remembers students killed in bus tragedy Campus gathers on Sept. 20 to mourn Kyle Nash, Connor Boyd News - Students and faculty of Carleton University joined together last Friday to reflect on the loss of two students who were among those killed when an OC Transpo bus collided with a Via passenger train near Fallowfield Station on Sept. 18. Carleton students Kyle Nash and Connor Boyd, both 21, were among the six people killed in the collision, which saw more than 30 other passengers on the bus sent to hospital. Longtime friends, Nash was enrolled in business information technology, while Boyd studied English at Carleton. A midday vigil held on campus was attended by university president and vice-chancellor Roseann O’Reilly Runte and Maureen Murdock, director of health and counselling services, both of whom spoke to media following the event. “This has been a very sad time for Canada, for Ottawa, and for Carleton University – two of our students and one of our alumni are among those who lost their lives in this great,

tragic accident,� said O’Reilly Runte. “We are all extremely sad this afternoon.� Runte said that following the accident, counsellors had gone to classrooms to meet with students and scheduled weekend drop-in hours for those who felt they need to talk with someone. In addition to an outpouring of sentiment from residents and representatives in government, words of condolences have poured in from other universities across Canada, said Runte. “We are extremely grateful for their support,� she said. When asked about the vigil – which included family members of the two students – Runte was somber. “It was a very solemn and appropriate remembrance of two very fine students,� said Runte. “We are always sad when there is a tragedy that befalls us, but we are also proud of all the students, faculty and staff who came together as a community to help each other and to celebrate the lives of two students and an alumnus by serving the community and giving back.� Murdock said her staff has

seen several students in the previous two days, bringing in additional counsellors as well as assistance from the family services department. To meet students’ schedules, Murdock said staff will create drop-in hours during the day and have emailed those times and locations to the student body. “The professors have been excellent at informing the students,� said Murdock. “Some of them know Connor and Kyle, some didn’t know them, but they appreciated having the opportunity to be told it was a student in their class, and being aware of this in case they need additional counselling. We anticipate seeing a number of students over the next few weeks.� Counselling differs depending on what feelings or trauma an individual is experiencing. Besides possibly knowing the two victims who attended Carleton, Murdock said there have been some students who were on the bus and witnessed the horror of the accident’s aftermath. “Those are the kind of things we’re responding to,� said Murdock.

‘Loud bang, then awful screeching’ Jennifer McIntosh and Laura Mueller jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - Seconds before he saw the front of the bus he was riding on disappear Eric Nelson asked himself why the driver hadn’t hit the brakes. “We were about to cross the rail line and the safety arm had come down,” he said. “I looked over at the cars on

Woodroffe all the other cars had stopped. That’s when he stomped on the brakes, but it was too late.” Nelson was one of the dozens of passengers on an OC Transpo bus struck by a train near Fallowfield station on Sept. 18. Seated about two rows behind the front stairwell at the top of the double-decker 76

express, Nelson said the first three rows of the bus were wiped away by the westbound Via train when the two collided. He added the bus was likely 90 per cent full. Amanda Brooks, 20, who spoke to the press with cheeks smeared by tears and dirt, said passengers were screaming at the driver to stop. Nelson said it was akin to a

religious experience for him. He says timing and luck saved him from being one of the fatalities. “If we had crossed two seconds later we would have missed it,” he said. “Two seconds earlier and it would have hit the middle of the bus and done a lot more damage.” Once the bus stopped, passengers made for the exit, which was tough because the stairwell was pretty much demolished, Nelson said. “We had to kind of hold the door up to get it out, because it was leaning on its side,” he said. When he got off the bus, he described the carnage on the train tracks as a war scene. “There were blood and limbs everywhere. There were people who were obviously very injured. I hope they survived. One guy flew 10 metres down the tracks during the crash so I doubt he did,” Nelson said. Police, fire services and paramedics rushed to the scene of the crash – where Woodroffe Avenue crosses the Via Rail train tracks at 8:48 a.m. Shortly after the crash, police confirmed five fatalities, including the bus driver. A sixth person succumbed to injuries in hospital. Police have identified the deceased as Michael Bleakney, 57, Connor Boyd, 21, Karen Krzyzewski, 53, Kyle Nash, 21, Rob More, 35 and driver David Woodard. Thirty-one people were sent to hospital and three more people who left the scene of the crash later went to hospital. One more person died in hospital before noon, 10 more were in critical condition. Calline Au, a spokesperson for the Queensway Carleton Hospital said five patients who turned up at hospital on their own after the crash were

released. Four were brought in by ambulance and one of those has been released. Two patients had already undergone orthopedic surgery. Au said one patient was waiting to undergo surgery for a minor fracture on the morning of Sept. 19. The rest of the injured were transported to the Queensway Carleton Hospital, the Montfort and the Civic and General campuses of the Ottawa Hospital. Hours later, Nelson was still in the parking lot of the train station with his pregnant wife. As soon as he got off the bus Nelson texted his wife that there had been a major accident. She called him six times before he heard the phone and picked up. “It was hard to text because my hands were still shaking,” he said, adding he later called his boss and took the day off. Robert Evraire, who was standing on the platform at the time waiting for the train at Fallowfield station, said he noticed the train’s headlight went out. Then he looked up and noticed the front of the train slide to the right, accompanied by flying debris and smoke. “It hits you in the gut,” he said. “I could’ve been on that train.” Heather Hogan, who was about to board the train for Kingston, said the same thing. “I could have gotten on the train downtown and then I would have been on it,” she said. Hogan, who was on the platform as well, remembered the sounds of the crash. “First I heard this loud bang, then awful screeching,” she said, adding she didn’t know at first that the bus had been hit. “It looked like the bus was

in the safe zone from where I was,” she said, adding she saw what she thought was the train’s conductor stick his head out the window to survey the damage. Hogan called 911 immediately upon seeing the crash. She said her first thought was for the people on board the train. “You hear of trains derailing or you see it in the movies, but I never thought I would see it,” she said. The picture was much different from inside the train said one man who identified himself as Ntuk. He was going to Toronto when he saw a blur and heard what he described as a series of bumps. “It stopped and then I realized we were off the tracks,” he said. DRIVER

The bus driver is one of five pronounced dead at the scene. He has been identified by police as David Woodard, 45, of Ottawa. Craig Watson, president of the Amalgamated Transit Union local 279, said he had been on the job 10 years with a good driving record. “He was a nice guy,” Watson said. “Any of the drivers who know him will tell you he’s one of the nice guys.” Watson described Woodard as a family man from the east end of Ottawa. He added there is grief counselling available for members of the union. “This is devastating for the whole city and our hearts and prayers go out to anyone in the city whose been affected by this tragedy,” Watson said. While awaiting news of their loved ones, family members were directed to the Nepean Sportsplex. See, SIX, page 15

Six confirmed fatalities in collision between bus, Via train Continued from page 14

Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder returned to the Sportsplex after a brief press conference downtown. “I’ve got one focus and that’s the people who were on the bus and the people whose family members were there,” Harder said. “That bus 76 goes entirely through my ward and for me it’s all about my community today.” A double-decker bus can hold up to 90 people, but it is not known how many were aboard the bus when the crash occurred, said OC Transpo general manager John Manconi. David Fraser, a disaster management volunteer with the Canadian Red Cross, said a dozen volunteers had been dispatched to help reunite passengers with their families. “People come in and give their information about their identity and that of the person they’re looking for and we try to connect them,” he said. “We also have volunteers here just to listen and to offer counselling.” Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa

MacLeod also planned to spend time with the victims. She left Queen’s Park after announcing the tragedy in the legislature. Her constituency office is in sight of the crash scene. “It’s the longest trip I’ve ever taken home,” MacLeod said. “I have a lot of different thoughts … I feel hollow – just thinking of how this could have happened, and thinking of those who are still wondering where their loved ones are. She plans to visit the station and staging area at the Nepean Sportsplex when she gets into the city. Const. Marc Soucy, a spokesperson with the Ottawa police, said grief counselling and victim services were on hand for the family members. He added those on board the train and bus were spread out across the city and were being interviewed by police and the Transportation Safety Board. Safety board investigator Glen Pilon said that the train contained a “black box” which would give information such as speed of travel at the time of the collision. Because of the severity of the incident, an investigation into the collision

The investigation could take months, said Jean Laporte, chief operating officer for the Transportation Safety Board. He said it is too early in the investigation to comment on questions about whether the bus driver was braking at the

time of the collision or whether the bus drove through and damaged the rail-crossing gates. Pilon said that safety at crossings where trains and vehicles could potentially meet was already on the board’s safety watchlist, a document created in 2010.

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

The watchlist recommended in 2010 that Transport Canada implement new crossing regulations, develop enhanced standards for certain types of crossing signs, and improve public awareness of the dangers at railway crossings. If any safety deficiencies are identified at the Woodroffe crossing during the course of the Transportation Safety Board’s investigation, they would be identified to the relevant agencies and made public, Laporte said. However, the board does not have the authority to enforce any regulations or recommendations for corrective action. Watson said he has directed city officials to work “as cooperatively as possible” with the investigation to find out what led to the crash and how to prevent similar incidents in the future. “Obviously any deficiencies that are found on any of our roads or crossings or vehicles, of course we’d take immediate action,” the mayor said.

Bus driver’s wife posts emotional goodbye on Facebook Police release information about crash victims Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - Police have identified David Woodard, 45, of Orléans, as the driver of the bus that collided with a Via train on Sept. 18. The crash – which killed five men and one woman between the ages of 21 and 57 – left 34 people injured. Woodard’s wife Terry posted an emotional goodbye to her husband of 25 years on her Facebook page the day of the accident. “Today I lost my HUSBAND the love of my LIFE my best friend the father of my daughter and a great step DAD to the boys ... I don’t know what to say ... I want him back so much ... MISS you BABY ... be always in my prayers in my mind, but

most of all in my heart ... life is not the same without you here ...” Craig Watson, president of the Amalgamated Transit Union, said Woodard had been on the job for 10 years and had a good driving record. ‘NICE GUY’

“He’s a nice guy,” Watson said. “Any of the drivers who know him will tell you he’s one of the nice guys.” Watson described Woodard as a family man. He said the whole city is hurting as a result of the accident. “This is devastating for the whole city and our hearts and prayers go out to anyone in the city whose been affected by this tragedy,” he said.

Paramedic chief Anthony DiMonte said thirty-one people were sent to hospital immediately following the crash. Three more people who left the scene of the crash later went to hospital. One person died in hospital before noon and 10 more were still in critical condition. Calline Au, a spokesperson for the Queensway Carleton Hospital said five patients who turned up at hospital on their own after the crash were released. Four were brought in by ambulance and one of those has been released. Two patients had already undergone orthopedic surgery. Au said one patient was waiting to undergo surgery for a minor fracture on the morning of Sept. 19. The Montfort received 17 patients in less critical con-

dition, while the Civic and General campuses of the Ottawa Hospital received four patients each via ambulance from the crash site. EYEWITNESS REPORTS

Eric Nelson, a University of Ottawa student who was on the route 76 express bus going to class, said the passengers were yelling at the bus driver to stop just seconds before the impact. “We were about to cross the rail line and the safety arm had come down,” he said. “I looked over at the cars on Woodroffe all the other cars had stopped. That’s when he stomped on the brakes, but it was too late.” The bus hit a slow-moving, Toronto-bound train, forcing it off the tracks.

Transit Safety Board investigator Glen Pilon said that the train contained a “black box” which would give information such as speed of travel at the time of the collision. Because of the severity of the incident, an investigation into the collision has already begun. Mayor Jim Watson said he has directed city officials to work “as co-operatively as possible” with the investigation to find out what led to the crash and how to prevent similar incidents in the future. “Obviously any deficiencies that are found on any of our roads or crossings or vehicles, of course we’d take immediate action,” he said.

City fought separate tracks Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

Joined Together With Aching Hearts

Shortly before 9AM on Wednesday, September 18, 2013, I was going over my final speaking notes for an event taking place later that morning, and received a short note advising members of City Council that there was collision between an OC Transpo bus and a train, with “details to follow�. As details unfolded, we were stunned and saddened to hear about the tragic events that took place that morning. I join River Ward residents and residents across Ottawa, and beyond our Nation’s Capital, in extending my deepest sympathies to those affected by this terrible tragedy. Our thoughts and prayers are with those who lost loved ones, and with those persons and their loved ones who were injured in this crash. Our hearts ache with yours. Thank you to OC Transpo staff and our first responders, the Ottawa Fire Service, Paramedic Service and Police Service, who provided exemplary service. You helped us get through these last days and we will continue to call on you.

News - The city fought for years to avoid the expense of separating the Transitway and Woodroffe Avenue from train tracks where a deadly bustrain collision took six lives on Sept. 18. City records show a grade-separated rail crossing was recommended as long ago as 1999, when environmental study report looked at constructing the southwest Transitway extension. Still, the city continued to try and convince Canadian National Rail, which operated the line at the time, that an at-grade option would be best.

Beyond that, the cost to make an underpass option feasible would have been exorbitant: $111 million, with more than $80 million of that bill falling to the city to pick up. The city was able to convince CN the level crossing was the best option. Two factors led to the change in attitude, according to a city report: the “exorbitant costsâ€? of grade separation, as well as the changed trainspeed conditions in the area thanks to the addition of a station at FallowďŹ eld. That freed up grant money to be used for other projects, including such things as the completion the southwest Transitway to FallowďŹ eld station and the widening of FallowďŹ eld Road to Greenbank Road. At the time, Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder credited city staff’s “creativityâ€? in convincing Via Rail that the road could be widened at grade, which allowed the other projects to move forward. Harder could not be reached for comment about the crossing after the crash. A draft safety report prepared in 2004 showed the at-grade crossing would have

Learning to live life with diabetes Sabine Gibbins sabine.gibbins@metroland.com

News – More than two decades ago, Karen Kemp was backpacking across Southeast Asia when she suddenly began to feel ill. At first, she didn’t think much of it. But then she began to rapidly lose weight, dropping more than 30 pounds in just one week. On the flight back to Vancouver, Kemp fell into a diabetic coma, and the plane had to make an emergency landing in California. The south Ottawa resident suffered severely high blood sugar level and was not expected to survive. “My blood sugar measured 58 (normal ranges between 5 and 7) and I was given six hours to live,” she said. She would later find out her sister died two weeks before her own emergency, from the same disease Kemp has – Type 1 diabetes. Kemp was given a second chance at life to help make a difference for others, she said. Like many, Kemp did not know anything about diabetes until she was diagnosed with the disease. Now, Kemp is hoping a made-inOttawa TV series she hosts will educate people with diabetes, or those who live with someone who has the disease, and give them the resources

SABINE GIBBINS/METROLAND

Karen Kemp is the brains and host behind 80,000 and Counting, a TV show with the goal of supplying those with diabetes a dose of healthy lifestyle tips. ers TV, she never imagined she would actually become the host. “I thought I would just help out with production,” she said laughing. “It’s been so inspiring. I’m so excited about doing something that will help other people. I feel like it’s my mission to help others benefit from the show.” Soon, Kemp saw herself stationed

they need to manage their health and live the healthiest life possible. The show is not just for those with diabetes, but for anyone who wishes to seek other ways of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. “Exercising is the key,” she said. “Dieting is not enough. Exercising is a lifestyle changer.” When she pitched the idea to Rog-

in front of her computer, writing scripts, choosing wardrobes, learning how to read a teleprompter, and sending out invitations to experts on diabetes to those living with diabetes to appear on the show, such as Ottawa Senators player Cory Conacher. To help educate others about the disease, Kemp has been passionately involved in the diabetes community as a diabetes resource manager and an outreach development worker for many years, providing presentations and workshops throughout the Ottawa area. “The number of people living with diabetes is rapidly growing,” she said. “I knew very little about diabetes until I was diagnosed.” What is most frightening, is the fact that every 10 seconds, someone loses their life to a diabetes-related complication. But for Kemp, these aren’t just statistics. They are ingrained in her life history. Kemp lost her grandparents, two aunts, and her sister to the devastating disease. Even if one does everything by the book, diabetes is very difficult to control, and one can still suffer serious life-threatening complications like kidney failure, heart disease, blindness, nerve damage, and amputation. Aware of the growing numbers people with diabetes affects, she thought a good time to pitch a TV show, and so the series, called “80,000 and Counting” was born.

“Everybody who knows somebody with diabetes should know something about it,” she said. “It’s all about maintaining a balance between stress, food, and a proper diet.” For the series, Kemp interviewed more than thirty leaders, individuals, and high-profile health care professionals and professional athletes. Kemp received the Volunteer of the Year award in 2011 from the Canadian Diabetes Association for her dedication as an association volunteer for more than 25 years and her work within the local diabetes community. She has also been a World Diabetes Day event planner since 2010, and is a director and co-founder of the Diabetes Action Network. With the use of an insulin pump and a continuous glucose monitor, life is much easier – and safer, said Kemp. It’s taken her years to share her personal journey, but she believes something positive can only come from it. “My goal and mission is to give people the resources to manage their diabetes to live the healthiest live possible,” she said. The series focuses on diabetes research, education, prevention and healthy-living on Rogers TV Channel 22 on Sundays at 8 p.m., Tuesdays at noon, Wednesdays at 7:30 p.m. and Thursdays at 10:30 a.m.

Underpass would have cost $111M Continued from from page 18

“a high level of safety exceeding that of the existing crossing” at the time. City manager Kent Kirkpatrick couldn’t immediately answer questions about how frequently the safety of that crossing must be studied. Via Rail, which now operates the line, commissioned a study earlier this year that looked at the Fallowfield station and train speeds, Kirkpatrick said. The city commented on the terms of reference, but that’s all he could say about the study during news conferences on the day of the crash. The gates at the crossing are maintained by a contractor, Rail Term, which is hired by Via Rail, Kirkpatrick said. Gurbakhshish Singh Bal, an OC Transpo operator, said he has never had any issues operating a bus on the Transitway at the rail crossing. “It’s a very wide vision. You can see it very clear from far,” he said. “I don’t know what happened.” Singh Bal said at the Woodroffe crossing, the train would usually be going slow because it would either be arriving at or leaving Fallowfield station. “They’re not fast, fast, fast coming. The lights are always working, everything is working. So I don’t find any problem.” According to the 2004 safety study, 12 passenger trains passed through that crossing. That number was expected to rise to 16 trains a day in both directions.

ings in the city – some of which have no protective devices like the Woodroffe crossing features. In a newsletter to constituents, Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson said she is asking questions about the safety of unprotected rail crossings, including where tracks cross Goulbourn Forced Road and Klondike Road.

It’s a very wide vision. You can see it very clear from far. I don’t know what happened. GURBAKHSHISH SINGH BAL

Wilkinson asked the city to install stop signs where the tracks cross Goulbourn Forced Road but was told signs couldn’t be placed there because there is no cross street, Wilkinson wrote to residents. She’s pushing the issue at city hall, but in the meantime, she is advising people to slow down or stop to make sure the way is clear before proceeding across the tracks.

CRASH INVESTIGATION

The investigation could take months, said Jean Laporte, chief operating officer for the safety board. A team of 11 investigators from the TSB are on the site of the crash and will search for answers by: • Examining and documenting the accident site • Assessing and photographing the wreckages of the train and bus • Examining the crossing, its design and the sight lines of the track from the road • Determining whether warning systems at the crossing (bells, lights, barriers, whistles, etc.) were functioning correctly • Downloading and examining data from the locomotive event recorder and any GPS or other data available from the bus While the safety board doesn’t have the authority to enforce any recommendations it might make to improve the crossing’s safety, Mayor Jim Watson said the city will look to comply with any suggestions. Any safety concerns identified during the course of the investigation will be made public, Laporte said.

SAFETY ISSUES

Safety at crossings where trains and vehicles could potentially meet was already on the Transportation Safety Board’s safety watchlist, a document created in 2010, said safety board investigator Glen Pilon. Between 2003 and 2012, there were 2,162 crossing accidents on Canada’s federallyregulated railways, which resulted in 266 fatalities and 346 serious injuries. The watchlist indentifies the riskiest safety issues for Canadians, each of which has found “that action(s) taken to date are inadequate, and that industry and regulators need to take additional concrete measures to eliminate the risks,” said the safety board’s website. The watchlist recommended in 2010 that Transport Canada implement new crossing regulations, develop enhanced standards for certain types of crossing signs, and improve public awareness of the dangers at railway crossings. The crash is raising questions about other level cross-

DYING FOR DIGNITY

Connected to your community

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

T

errence Quickfall knows he is going to die. He was diagnosed with prostate cancer seven years ago and the slow moving cancer continues to advance. “It’s very traumatic when you’ve been told you have cancer and you need to learn how to deal with that – the trauma, the big C. What the hell do you do, where do you go from here?” asks Quickfall. He received the traditional treatment – chemotherapy, radiation and hormone therapy – at a hospital but became depressed and withdrawn. “The trouble with a hospital is it’s very clinical,” he says. “There’s not enough personal attention, personal care. They’re always busy, busy, busy. “I’m stuck in these bloody four walls, I can’t get out. There’s no point in me hanging round, I’m not doing anything. And I’m taking up a lot of money that could be used on other people.” Sensing his distress, his social worker mentioned the option of hospice. Intrigued, Quickfall visited the Hospice at May Court, located in Old Ottawa South. The non-profit – a part of Hospice Care Ottawa, which includes Friends of Hospice Ottawa in Kanata – offers specialized support and a wide range of services to people and families experiencing a lifelimiting illness, either in their homes or through residential programs at one of their two locations. After four months of attending day programs at May Court, the 73year-old has found a sense of community and belonging. On a regular visit, Quickfall can be found painting in the art room, talking to other patients, enjoying the garden views or playing cards with friends he’s made through the hospice. “We’re all in palliative care; palliative care is preparation for end of life,” he says. “We all know we’re going to die, but we’re here to have fun and that’s what we’re damn well going to do.” Quickfall plans on taking advantage of a residential bed at the hospice when his time comes. Aside from offering more personal attention, the cost to the health-care system is much lower. A residential

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

DYING FOR DIGNITY A three-part series about hospice palliative care in Ottawa Part 1: A look at palliative care in the Ottawa area and the need for more resources as the population ages. hospice bed comes in at $400 a day, while a hospital bed is between $800 and $1,200. But hospice beds are in high demand and the supply isn’t where it should be. A report by Hospice Care Ottawa states 75 per cent of people with a terminal illness pass away in hospital and only 15 per cent of those patients receive quality end-of-life care. With a population close to one million people, Ottawa should have 70 hospice beds; that estimate allows for population growth and increasing mortality as the population ages. But the city only has 17. As baby boomers age, Ottawa’s seniors are expected to make up 20 per cent of the population by 2030. The number of deaths are expected to rise from 9,000 to 19,000 a year and 90 per cent of those people could benefit from hospice palliative care at the end of life, according to

Ottawa South News EMC - Thursday, September 26, 2013

the report. Currently, fewer than 300 people have access to hospice palliative care in the city each year. Although the idea of hospice palliative care isn’t new – home support programs have been available in Ottawa since 1987 and residential hospices since 1997 – the way society thinks about end-of-life-care needs to change. Instead of focusing on a person’s last days, palliative care needs to begin at the initial stage of diagnosis, says Dr. José Pereira, head of the division of palliative care at the University of Ottawa, and medical chief of the palliative care programs at Bruyère Continuing Care and the Ottawa Hospital. “We relegate it to the very end and we make the wrong decisions in the meantime. People suffer,” he explains. “As a society, we still think of pal-

liative as being only the last few days of life. The problem with that is we then miss the opportunity of preparing for the end of life. We miss the opportunity of improving quality of life, of improving symptoms, pain, shortness of breath, etcetera – of having these discussions much earlier,” says Pereira. “This is something that as a society we need to start rethinking.” In preparation, Ottawa must have resources in place to help people in every aspect of the palliative care continuum – something that is sorely lacking. “Fifty-two per cent of cancer patients are dying in hospitals,” says Pereira. The reasons? A lack of preparation and a lack of hospice beds, he says. Quickfall is one of the lucky ones – receiving the type of quality care that the report says is needed.

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

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

think these people are going to get old one day. The days are gone when you retired at 65 and died at 66. Now, we retire at 55 and die at 95, and in that 40 years anything can happen.” CAN’T MEET NEEDS

Until recently, there were only nine beds available at May Court. Eight more beds were opened earlier this year at the Embassy West Senior Living centre on Carling Avenue. “We have them full pretty well all the time,” says Hospice Care Ottawa executive director Lisa Sullivan, adding the average length of stay is between 12 to 15 days. “There is definitely a need out there for hospice beds and when we opened more beds, within a couple days they were full again.” There will be two more beds by October and there are plans to build a 10-bed residential hospice in Kanata by 2016. But even then, that will only bring Ottawa to less than half of what’s recommended. Only a year ago, the city was operating two separate hospices: the Friends of Hospice Ottawa and the Hospice at May Court. The two organizations joined forces in an effort to integrate funding and services for the city. Continued on page 23

DYING FOR DIGNITY Continued from page 22

Currently undergoing rebranding, the organization is now called Hospice Care Ottawa and has been working hard not only to get funding for its $1.7 million operating costs, but also to fill the gaps with other fundraisers and donation opportunities. Government funding only covers 40 per cent of the hospice’s total costs. Local health integration networks, which are funded by the province, pay $90,000 per bed – the standard across Ontario. “When they say $90,000 per bed that just covers the (registered nurse), all those who serve the needs of the patient,” Sullivan says. That money doesn’t help hospices purchase equipment, run day programs, or offer grief and bereavement counselling. “We have some services but they really just scratch the surface in terms of meeting the needs of our clients,” says Sullivan. “We can’t meet the needs of everyone in Ottawa. That’s a real area of concern.”

BY THE NUMBERS

Ottawa projected population growth 55+ from 2011 to 2031

75%

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

2,565

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

$40,000

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

We can’t meet the needs of everyone in Ottawa. That’s a real area of concern. LISA SULLIVAN EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, HOSPICE CARE OTTAWA

The hospice, which includes home-based hospice services, relies on the community to raise the additional 60 per cent to remain open every year through events, monetary donations and grants to pad the funding, says Sullivan. “It’s a real challenge, but that is why we do things like Hike for the Hospice, Home for the Holidays and Girls Night Out,” says Sullivan about community-based fundraising. “Without fundraisers, we wouldn’t have the services that we do.” For the executive director, dying is an important part of living and she says people need options when it comes to end-of-life care. “If it’s at home, how can we as a community support them for being at home?” asks Sullivan. “The longer we can keep them at the home, connected to the right services, give them the support they need, the less likely they are to go through those emergency doors and end up in a hospital bed. “If it gets to be too much at home, if the caregivers are exhausted, then they should have the choice of having a hospice bed available to them,” says Sullivan.

tion deteriorated over the next two years, his family had a nurse visit in the evenings to help with his care. His wife, Kathleen, was his primary caregiver at home. But it became impossible after his chemotherapy was stopped. “It became a situation where, even though Lennox wanted to pass away at home, he just wasn’t able to because the cancer had spread through his whole body,” says Kathleen. “I felt fortunate that when the time did come, that May Court had a bed available for him,” she says. He passed away six days after being admitted to the May Court at the age of 51. “This was a devastating time in our lives, but to have our loved one cared for by the very special people at May Court in his final days gave us great comfort. We were allowed to be his wife and children without the stress of his daily care. But most importantly, Lennox was allowed to die with dignity,” says Kathleen, who now donates her time fundraising for

the hospice. “To have that bed available just took that stress away from myself and the kids. “It just allowed us to be able to spend those last six days with him in a more relaxed, calm, peaceful setting. The people that work at the May Court surround you with their compassion; they’re always there for you. That it just made that journey and those last six days of his life that much easier on us.” This type of care should be available to everyone who needs it, and that means more resources are needed. “Hospice care is an integral part of our health system,” says Sullivan. “We as a society recognize how important it is that dying is part of all our lives and that we create the kind of supports that people need during those last days of their life and make it available and accessible and as peaceful and as close to home as possible.” Special report by Michelle Nash, Jessica Cunha, Laura Mueller, Blair Edwards and Emma Jackson

The number of residential hospices in all of Ontario. Seventeen more are in planning. Almost all are located in urban settings. Rural communities are disproportionately underserved.

1,030

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

$9M

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

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

Museum unveils latest west-side parking plans Michelle Nash Michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - New plans to optimize parking at the Canadian Museum of Nature left most area residents pleasantly surprised. The plans, revealed at an open house at the museum on Sept. 16, showed a reduction of the footprint for parking, allowing 96 spots on the west-side of the museum’s property making it possible to maximize the landscaped space, maintain current paths and outdoor features. The remaining outdoor space will be landscaped and will eventually include a large sculpture. Neighbouring residents attended the open house to view the plans, speak with museum and engineering firm representatives and offer comments. J.P. Caron lives across the street and uses the museum’s outdoor green space almost daily. He referred to the space as a neighbourhood park, and many area residents use the space for their children to play, enjoy a leisurely walk or a quiet place to read. For him, keeping the green space as large as possible was an acceptable compromise for both the parking and public needs. “I feel the initiative is well thought out and looks promising to the community,” Caron said. Another area resident, Mick Pates, who has been active in a community group active in looking out for the green space and neighbours best interests, said he too saw an improvement to the plans. “The important thing is they have reduced the footprint and that’s a big thing to me,” he said. Pates added the property and museum have a lot of history that needs to be preserved. Museum president Meg Beckel said comments such as those made by Pates and other residents have been considered as much as possible

throughout the process and she was pleased to finally be able to show off the plans to the public. “In January 2012, we just had a blocking diagram of where parking and landscaping could go, with just ideas of what could be in the green space,” Beckel said. “Now we are presenting those ideas.” The museum announced its plans to make a permanent parking area on the west side of the building at the beginning of 2012. The plans arose from the significant renovations the museum underwent starting in 2004, which saw the usable space in the building expanded. That renovation did, however, significantly affect the parkland to the west side of the building. At first the space was used as a construction staging site. Now that the renovations have been completed, the space serves as an overflow parking area. At the time of the 2012 meeting, residents had hoped the space would be returned to its previous state as green space, but Beckel said demand for parking is far too great and parking on the west side of the building would be made permanent. According to the museum, it is the second most attended museum in the capital region next to the Canadian Museum of Civilization, but has less parking than all the other museums, with the exception of the Canada Agricultural Museum. Currently the museum has 192 spots: 96 on the east side and 96 temporary gravel spots on the west side. According to Beckel, optimizing the parking but maximizing the green space has been the museum’s goal and she felt this plan is proof that has been accomplished. “I am really delighted with what the team has come up with,” she said. Some residents who attended questioned the need to accommodate the growing number people who drive to the museum. Beckel said the museum does encourage people using other modes of transportation, such as riding a bicycle, but with no designated transit stop and fewer private parking lots in Centretown, to

meet the growing needs of museum people arriving by automobile need to be accommodated. Aside from adding parking spaces, the green space will include a 12-metre Arctic-themed sculpture. Beckel said the sculpture will help showcase Canada’s long history and continuing role in Arctic research and discovery. The museum is aiming to have a permanent Arctic gallery in place by 2017 and Beckel said the sculpture would be an added the outdoor feature. The preliminary plans to build such a sculpture, she added, would cost around $1 million and fundraising efforts would be needed to make this a reality, but this would all be considered after the museum jumps its first hurdle – getting approval from the land owners, the National Capital Commission, in November. If the museum receives approval from the NCC, construction could begin as early as spring 2014, with visitors being able to use the parking space by end of June.

Residents want johns, prostitutes out Reporting key to solving problem in Vanier, police say Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - Residents who live around the corner of Richelieu and Lafontaine streets in Vanier met with police along with staff from the city and community housing to say enough is enough when it comes to prostitution. Although the number of “john sweeps” in the area has increased recently, with three occurring in the past two months, residents voiced concerns about street prostitution at a councillor-led meeting on Sept. 18. “Hookers line up along the wall like pigeons,” said resident Suzan Proulx, who described an area close to her home. “No one will want to buy homes here, even though it’s the most affordable option in the city.” Proulx was not the only one concerned about property values, safety and the constant “strange” cars seen at around the same time every day. Louise Levesque, who has

been a Vanier resident for more than 60 years, said she has had enough and wants Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury and police to help make a difference in her neighbourhood. The meeting stemmed from concerns raised around an Ottawa Community Housingowned property, Richelieu Court, where residents say they hear screaming and loud noises at all hours and witness drug trafficking and prostitution on a regular basis. “There are good residents who live in that building, who don’t deserve to live with some of the other individuals,” Levesque said. To help field some of the questions and concerns, community housing executive director Joanne Poirier, as well as the district director for the east end, the head of security, and other OCH representatives, attended the meeting to discuss the property. As the meeting went on, however, the concerns quickly became more about the issues

happening on the streets outside the property than on the site itself -- something OCH cannot control, representatives said. Some residents, like Levesque, email OCH after an event has occurred. She has even gone as far as attending tribunal hearings, stating this work could become her other full time job. “I’m glad you send us emails, we need to track events to be able to evict,” Poirier said. “We can’t have our tenants disturbing our neighbours.” Police Insp. Chris Rheaume encouraged people in the audience to be active in reporting crime by calling 236-1222 any time they see suspicious activity. “For people to take back their streets, its one at a time. Everyone has to work together,” Rheaume, adding a complaint or concern is much stronger when it’s reported. “The recent john sweeps were based on complaints. It makes a difference,” he said.

MICHELLE NASH/METROLAND

Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury discusses concerns about drug trafficking and prostitution on south Vanier streets at the St. Laurent Complex on Sept. 18. One resident, for example, witnessed 165 prostitution incidents during a 30-period and reported them all to police in one go. Rheaume said that work resulted in an immediate john sweep. Proulx asked what the community could do as a whole to help make a difference.

“I want this place to be beautiful,” she said. “How are we going to move beyond this? Is it manageable? How is it going to get better?” Fleury said part of making the community better is working together, reporting crime and keeping all partners informed.

“There is not one key that can make it work. If there was, we would put the key in the lock and it would work. It’s a combination of things that we need to do,” Fleury said. Crime Prevention Ottawa executive director Nancy Worsfold told resident they too can do their part. “When it comes to the johns, embarrass them. Send their plates to the police,” she said. Part of an ongoing program the police run, Worsfold said, is that police will send out a letter to whomever the vehicle is registered, stating the car was located in an area with a high volume of sex trade workers. Rheaume said he personally signs the letters and in some case, it’s just the right amount of embarrassment to keep that particular john from coming back. Levesque said there has been some incredible support from OCH staff and police and she simply asked for a stronger presence in the future. “We are the victims -- we need it to stop,” Levesque said.

BRIDGING COMMUNITIES Ward 22 Update

Steve Desroches Deputy Mayor Councillor, Gloucester-South Nepean

As you are aware, a fatal incident recently occurred in the City of Ottawa involving an OC Transpo bus and a Via Rail train. I would first like to extend my deepest sympathies and condolences to the families who have lost a loved one and who were affected by this terrible tragedy. I know many residents in our community share these sentiments and several people have contacted me to say they are praying for the families and the victims involved.

Retired captain Medric Cousineau walks across the dam at Watson’s Mill on Sept. 18, his second-last day of his Paws For Thought journey from Halifax to Ottawa. He finished his 50-day tour at the Canadian War Museum downtown on Sept. 19. EMMA JACKSON/METROLAND

Long walk to sanity

At the City of Ottawa, safety is our most important value. This terrible tragedy serves to remind us all of the vital importance of safety in our community. I know there are many residents in Gloucester – SouthNepean who use public transit, as does my family, each and every day to travel to work or school. I want to assure our residents that safety has always been a top priority for OC Transpo. OC Transpo has a very strong safety record as they handle nearly 100 million passenger trips each year in the Ottawa area. I know we are all searching for answers at this time and I appreciate everyone’s understanding that the investigation needs to follow its course through the ongoing investigation by the Transportation Safety Board. The City of Ottawa and OC Transpo officials are cooperating fully with the authorities as they continue their investigation.

I would like to extend my sincere thanks and appreciation to all of the first responders and emergency personnel who responded to this terrible accident. I would also like to thank the doctors, nurses and administrators at the Ottawa Hospital campuses who were involved he took home. Since that time, Cousineau with this tragedy.

Psychiatric service dog advocate visits Manotick legion emma.jackson@metroland.com

News – If dogs are man’s best friend, no one knows this better than retired captain Medric Cousineau. The Nova Scotia resident, his wife Jocelyn and his 27-month-old dog Thai arrived in Manotick on Wednesday, Sept. 18, on day 49 of a 50-day trek across eastern Canada that he calls his Long Walk to Sanity. The walk aims to raise awareness and money for service dogs to help veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder. Members of the Manotick legion met the family at the cenotaph in Dickinson Square before they began their walk over the dam and onto Long Island, where he told his story to students at St. Leonard Catholic School.

I am very touched by how the surrounding communities have come together in the face of tragedy and have helped one another during these difficult times. Over the course of the past week residents of Ottawa proved that we live in more than just a city of strangers but that we are a tight knit community of neighbours, family and friends. I am proud to call Ottawa home.

As Deputy Mayor, I was pleased to attend the Commander of Canada’s Army Week Mess Dinner at Ottawa City Hall this past week. The dinner was in support of various events taking place in the Nation’s Capital in support of Army Week and the Canada Army Run. This year the Canada Army Run had over 22,000 participants who helped raise funds for Soldier On and the Military Families Fund charities. The funds raised will help provide the necessary direct support to injured or ill soldiers and military families.

Cousineau was injured while on active military duty off the coast of Newfoundland in 1986. During a raging storm, his team was called out to help rescue two American fishermen. Rappelling from the helicopter down to the boat, Cousineau was tossed into the nine-metre waves before he crashed into the back of the fishing boat. Cousineau received the Star of Courage for his efforts, but that wasn’t the only thing

PTSD needs overlooked, says retired captain Continued from page 31

He gambled; he snapped at the kids; some days he couldn’t get out of bed because of his depression, his wife Jocelyn said. Night terrors and sweats kept him awake for much of two decades. “It was not a good time for anybody,� she said. But all that changed when he was paired with his service dog, Thai, last August. He got her through the Canine Assistance and Rehabilitation Services Program, in Kansas. His local legion branch in Eastern Passage, N.S. covered her costs from its poppy fund. Once Thai came home, it didn’t take long to see results, Cousineau said. Within weeks, he slept through the night for the first time in years. When he woke up, he had a panic attack because he was so unused to the

feeling. Now, when Cousineau starts to have a night terror, Thai rouses him – and he said waking up to those deep brown eyes, floppy ears and cold, wet nose is infinitely better than having a nightmare. And Thai’s got his back – literally. Cousineau suffers from hyper-vigilance, he said, and doesn’t like to have anyone behind him or touching his back. When he’s in a crowd or in line at the grocery store, Thai stands behind him to create a physical barrier from other people. She’s is also acutely aware of Cousineau’s moods. “If I start to disassociate, she can smell it and she’ll jump up on me to say, ‘Hey, whatever you’re thinking about, stop thinking about it and pay attention to me,’� Cousineau explained. Cousineau knows the differ-

ence a service dog can make, and he wanted to spread that healing process to other veterans suffering like him. PAWS FUR THOUGHT

As a result, he and his wife embarked on a 50-day, 1,065kilometre walk from Halifax to Ottawa on Aug. 1. The Long Walk to Sanity, part of his Paws Fur Thought campaign, aims to raise enough money to train 50 service dogs and match them to veterans – about $7,000 per dog, or $350,000. Cousineau said Canadians have an obligation to help those who have served their country. “There are hundreds if not thousands who are just like me. We’ve sent a lot of people into harm’s way, and they’re hurt,� Cousineau said. “If we send them, we must mend them.

“That was way to easy!�

That’s our sacred obligation.� His message seemed to resonate on Sept. 18. After his walk through Manotick, he joined Veterans Affairs Minister Julian Fantino for a short walk and made his case. After their meeting, Fantino announced that he has directed Veterans Affairs staff to research whether psychiatric service dogs can be effective in treating PTSD. “This first step will serve to fully review the existing international research on the topic, identify areas where data may be missing and determine what knowledge would be necessary to inform a Canadian approach to the use of service dogs,� a media statement from his office said.

Message of Condolence I would like to take this opportunity to express my deepest sympathies and condolences for all of those who have been affected by the horriďŹ c accident between an OC Transpo bus and VIA train that took place last Wednesday, September 18th.

‘Scratch’ proves her worth MARY COOK Memories to knit an extra dishcloth without being asked, a task I likened to cleaning the outhouse. Finally, Mother relented. It would have to be kept in a box at night. I

would have to take it outside to “do its businessâ€? and it would only be in the house until it was able to fend for itself out in the barn. I was so happy and that night I printed in my diary that for the ďŹ rst time ever, I was allowed to have a baby kitten in the house. I called it Scratch because it loved to scratch on the side of the cardboard box which was its home through the night. It grew and ourished and every day Mother would

ing what to expect and there was Scratch sound asleep outside the box and beside her, half mutilated, were two very dead mice. Now, if there was anything Mother hated more than the common house y or pet animals in the house, it was a mouse! She was sure they carried germs. It wasn’t so much that she was afraid of them, it was just that she thought they were the dirtiest critters on earth. There was little hope of keeping them out of the house, in spite of the countless traps spaced around the oor. See MARY, page 43

s far as Mother was concerned, there were no “ifs, ands, or butsâ€? about it when it came to having pets in the house. They belonged in the barn, and that’s all there was to it. The barn cats had litters, it seemed to me back then, every time the weather changed and every time a new batch of kittens came on the scene, I begged Mother to let me keep at least one in the house for a pet. I promised I would look after it. It would never wander through the rooms and I would feed it myself, so there would be no spots on the kitchen oor, which Mother kept as clean as a whistle. “No cats in the house,â€? she would say each time I asked. So I would have to play with them in the barns, where they were allowed to wander freely, some in the cow byre, some in the stable and often one or two in where Father kept the sheep. I would make sure they all had fresh milk every day and, of course, I gave them all names. My brother Emerson said giving barn cats names was just about the craziest idea he ever heard of, especially when there were so many. I paid him no heed. They came in all colours, but mostly they were grey or black with white spots. One batch produced one that was golden brown with white around its neck and a pure white tail. Emerson said it looked like its mother had been scared by a fox, whatever that meant. To me it was the most beautiful kitten I had ever seen. But it didn’t look like its mother had much love for it. To me it always seemed to be pushed aside, away from the other kittens. Neglected, it got thinner and thinner. Emerson said it wasn’t long for this world and the best thing that could happen to it was to put it in a grain sack and take to the Bonnechere River. Needless to say that sent me into ďŹ ts of crying and I begged Mother to let me keep it in the house until it had grown a bit. I even promised

warn me that soon it would have to join the other cats in the barn. The litter was born early in the fall and as the nights got colder I was eternally grateful that Scratch was in a warm spot to sleep. Just before I went to bed every night I took Scratch outside and then put her into the cardboard box. She was growing so fast with my tender love and care that soon she would outgrow her night bed. Then one morning, even before I was out of bed, I heard Mother let a scream out of her that I was sure could be heard across the Twenty Acre Field. I tore downstairs, not know-

Cat loved to scratch box Well, it was obvious how the mice had come to meet their maker. Scratch had done them in -- that was obvious. That’s what changed Mother’s mind about having a pet in the house. Scratch, as long as she was “earning her keep,� was allowed to spend the nights in the cardboard box in the kitchen. She spent most of the winter there that year, but the day came

when Scratch herself wanted to be out in the barns. She had grown full size and remained the only cat with the odd colouring. She sneaked around unheard and ignored the other cats completely. When I saw that she much preferred the hen house over the cow byre, I wondered if there was more truth than poetry to what Emerson claimed -- maybe there was a bit of fox-blood running through her veins.

Green living on display this weekend Green Homes showcase expanded to Kemptville, Orléans Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

News – What does a condo in the Glebe have in common with a 160-year-old farmhouse in Chesterville? More than you might think: first and foremost, they’re both at the forefront of green living in Ottawa - and this weekend their owners and those of eight other homes across the region will welcome visitors to explore their green initiatives first-hand. The second-annual Green Homes Showcase hosted by the EnviroCentre, a non-profit group committed to reducing carbon emissions in Ottawa, has been greatly expanded for this year’s event on Saturday, Sept. 28. Organizer Rabita Sharfuddin said this year’s event has 10 homes – more than double last year’s four – and they are spread across the region from Kemptville to Orléans. It’s also a self-guided tour this year, which means people can come and go as they please instead

of committing to several hours with a guide. “By having 10 homes in 10 different neighbourhoods it makes it easier to attend,” Sharfuddin said. “And visitors can pick and choose what’s relevant to them.” She said the 10 homes are all very different from each other, and feature a wide variety of green initiatives. That will make it easier for homeowners to pinpoint the stops they are most interested in. “Homeowners can find one that’s similar to their home, visit the home and talk to contractors,” she said. The tour runs from noon to 4 p.m. It includes two rural homes – the farmhouse in Chesterville and a solar and geothermal-powered home in Kemptville – and eight urban and suburban locations. These range from a multi-residential co-operative home in Bells Corners to a single family home in Orléans to an infill development in Hintonburg. Visitors will be guided through the green renovations

in each home and will be able to speak directly to homeowners, energy advisors, building professionals and contractors on site. The goal, Sharfuddin said, is to encourage residents to make similar green changes in their own homes. “We’re trying to promote green energy and green living,” she said, noting that such retrofits can benefit not only the environment but also the value of the home. TOUR STOPS

• Westboro: single family home at 296 Royal Ave using passive solar design and radiant floor heating; • Hintonburg: 1920’s retrofitted home at 69 Fairmont Ave and an infill project under construction on 15 Garland St.; • Old Ottawa East: solar powered Terra Firma Cohousing Community on 172 Drummond St.; • Orléans: carbon neutral home with solar panels and passive heating and cooling on

854 Lawnsberry Dr.; • Bayshore: single family geothermal and solar microFIT home on 10 Firwood Cres.; • Chesterville: 160-year-old farmhouse with organic farm with geothermal heating and cellulose insulation, located on 3235 County Rd. #11 near Limerick Road; • Kemptville: home with solar tracker system, electricity-free water treatment system and soy-based insulation, located on 651 Boundary Rd.; • Beacon Hill: home with solar, cellulose insulation and bamboo flooring on 493 Tisdale Cres.; • Glebe: new condo built to LEED standards with passive solar design on Bank Street near Wilton Crescent; • Bells Corners: Eileen Tallman Cooperative Homes on Seyton Drive has been supported by the Ottawa Renewable Energy Cooperative to make renewable energy investments. For full details about each of the homes visit envirocentre.ca.

SUBMITTED

This home on Tisdale Avenue in Beaconhill features a solar roof system that extends the owner’s pool use from May through October. It also offers good examples of green finishes and building materials such as bamboo flooring and low VOC paints. It will be on display as part of the EnviroCentre’s Green Homes Showcase on Sept. 28.

With deepest Sympathy All the staff at the Nepean-Barrhaven News and all the Metroland East newspapers in the Ottawa area offer our condolences to those who have lost a loved one or suffered injuries in the Sept. 18 collision on the Transitway in Barrhaven. We also extend our appreciation to all emergency personnel who were on the scene that day and at local hospitals. Our prayers and thoughts are with you and your families.

Ottawa’s #1 Ranked Soccer Club

OSU 2000 GirlsForce Academy are the New Ontario Provincial Champions In a first for Ottawa soccer, The Ottawa South United 2000 Girls Force Academy Black completed a fantastic soccer season winning their league, the ERSL Cup and the Province. The team dominated league play, compiling a record of 14-0, with a league high goal differential of 83. A similar story took place in ERSL Cup competition, scoring 24 goals and giving up none in four matches. The road to the Ontario Cup championship, however, proved a tougher task. The team won the tournament round in convincing fashion with 4 wins. In the quarter-finals, the team faced a highlyregarded Whitby squad and managed to come away with a wellearned 3-1 victory. A resilient Eastside Kickers team held the girls to a narrow 1-0 win in the semi-final match. This win set the Ontario Cup Final match between OSU and the Stoney Creek Battalion at the Oshawa Civic Stadium on Saturday. The team had faced the talented Stoney Creek Battalion squad at a tournament earlier in the season and were defeated 3-0. However, the team had gained a lot of experience during the season and had customized their training sessions in preparation for the final. Sporting identical 14-0 records in their individual leagues going into the match, the Championship game ended regulation time in a 1-1 draw, requiring the winner to be decided by penalty kicks. In the end, the Force girls prevailed, winning 3-1 in kicks from the mark. The team became the first Ottawa team to win a girl’s provincial soccer championship in decades. Congratulations to the girls, Alison, Becky, Emily, Jordyn, Kaleigh, Kathleen, Kory, Logan, Marita, Mei Mei, Melissa, Mollie, Nina, Odessa, Shivani, Sydney, Vanessa and our call-up’s Ariel, Carmen and Olivia for an amazing season. Thanks also to our coaches Widdgin, Bernard, Hilary, Pierce and Paul, our trainers Kathy and Wendy, and our managers Jane and Joanne for an unprecedented season for an Ottawa team. OSU President Bill Michalopulos added that this “significant success by the Force 2000’s as well as our Force 97’s boys’ victory over the Toronto FC Academy to win the OYSL league, represents a tangible and measurable step forward for youth soccer in Ottawa. Occurring on OSU’s 10th Year Anniversary as a new club, it’s a testament to the targeted and relentless efforts of OSU to provide the very best for youth soccer development in Canada.�

Converted homes should count as infill, residents say Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Converting homes into apartments is a type of intensification and should therefore fall under the same rules as infill homes, people told city planners on Sept. 16. More than 200 people – many of them from Sandy Hill and Old Ottawa South – packed council chambers to hear from city planners, an Action Sandy Hill board member and an architect who designs converted dwellings. The unusual format was used to spark a dialog about how the city should change the rules about renovating homes to convert them into apartments. In a rare move, the city put a halt on all applications for converted dwellings earlier this year after hearing increasingly desperate concerns from residents, particularly in neighbourhoods near the city’s two major universities, about myriad noise, parking and garbage issues that tend to result from housing 20 or more people in a home that used to have a family of around five. Chad Rollins, the Action Sandy Hill board member who gave a presentation about his neighbourhood’s

Ottawa South News EMC - Thursday, September 26, 2013

ability of housing options. Martin’s biggest issue that he wanted the city to change was its maximum setback rule, which limits the size of yards. Martin called it a “perversion,� because usually the city sets a minimum size for yards. Martin also suggested the city could upzone to concentrate intensification in target areas to take the pressure of the rest of the neighbourhood, which could then be downzoned. Sandy Hill resident Barbara Brockman provided a similar suggestion that piqued city planners’ interest: she said the city should look at setting a maximum density for each street or each block. Despite the term “student ghetto� being bandied about all evening, participants in the sessions avoided blaming the social and property-standards issues on students who tend to inhabitat the buildings. Students are welcome, many participants said, but they would prefer to see a diverse mix of residents that includes families, seniors and students. The balance between long-term and transient residents is important, Rollins said, because long-term residents tend to invest more in the upkeep of their property and their community, he said.

situation, said one of the issues is the broad definition of conversions. Almost an entire structure can be removed as long as a portion of a wall or foundation remains. Revising that definition would help, Rollins said, and many participants in the Sept. 16 meeting agreed. Other suggestions included reducing the building heights and increasing yard setbacks in some areas most affected by conversions and creating an incentive program to encourage owner-occupied units in converted dwellings. Robert Martin, an architect who has designed a number of converted dwellings on behalf of Black Iris Developments, said one of the issues in Sandy Hill is that older homes were not built in a way that took advantage of the lenient zoning the area has always had, meaning new and converted homes can tower over their neighbours, even though they follow the rules. Maximizing the city’s current housing stock by converting it to house more people is a good use of the buildings, Martin said. Low-scale intensification means the city won’t need to have as many tall towers to house its growing population, he said. It also adds to the diversity and afford-

Pet Adoptions

ID# A158325

Faith (A158325) is a curious, two-yearold, spayed female cat who came to the Ottawa Humane Society as a stray July 11, and is now available for adoption. This soft white and orange tabby domestic shorthair cat can’t wait to find a human to call her very own. She is very chatty and loves to have conversation about your day. Faith loves to explore, and would appreciate having her very own bay window, or cat tree from where she can watch the world fly by. Are you looking for your very own greeter? Visit the OHS website at www.ottawahumane.ca to see photos and descriptions of all of the animals available for adoption. Stop by the Adoption Centre, weekdays 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., Saturdays 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Sundays 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Since 1994, the Ottawa Humane Society has partnered with Ottawa pet stores to give more cats a chance at finding new forever homes. The Pet Adoption Location program, or PAL, is a way for the OHS to profile more cats in the community, especially in areas that are farther away from the West Hunt Club Road shelter.

Heinz

How is that for an original cat name! We decided to call him Heinz because my husband eats ketchup on literally everything. So, since he loves his ketchup and loved this cat we thought it would be fitting. He is an indoor cat and loves to play. He especially loves to eat ALL plants and will stop at nothing to get to them. In this picture we thought there was no way he could fit in the alcove with the flowers. We were evidently wrong!
