Move that memorial, Nussbaum says Emma Jackson
emma.jackson@metroland.com
Rideau-Rockcliffe Coun. Tobi Nussbaum is wading into the debate over a planned memorial to victims
of communism, asking the federal government to put it somewhere else. The rookie councillor will introduce a motion at the end of the month that would formally request the Harper government relocate its memorial somewhere other than between the Supreme Court and Library and Archives buildings on Wellington Street, where it’s currently approved to go.

City’s water rate structure to change Emma Jackson
$250 million in annual renewal projects between now and 2022, according to deputy city treasurer Isabelle Jasmin. That has prompted the environment committee to ask staff to come
for $2.7 billion in infrastructure upgrades over the coming decade. The city’s overall water consumption has dropped 30 per cent since 2002, generating less of the revenue needed to fund the approximately

up with a new rate structure that can better support the system going forward. Right now, revenues are entirely tied to consumption, which has dropped to 1980 levels in the past decade. The current structure charges urban residents about $1.7 per cubic metre of water, with no fixed base charge, despite the fact that operating costs are 90 per cent fixed. Sewer charges are another 117 per cent of that usage. Bi-monthly bills average about $137 per household, Jasmin said. The system is taking a toll on city coffers: the city received $20 million less in water revenues than it expected to in 2014 alone, Jasmin said. To handle peak demands at the height of the summer, a structural change in how the city charges for water is needed, Jasmin said. There are a few ways to do this. Some Ontario municipalities use a volume-only system that charges a higher rate in blocks as your usage goes up (Ottawa currently charges the same rate no matter what). But most major North American cities – including 15 of Ontario’s largest 25 municipalities – combine a volumebased charge with a fixed base fee.

Ottawa West News - Thursday, May 21, 2015
Jasmin said this system combines “stability with flexibility.” These systems can be further broken down to charge different rates for residential, commercial and industrial users. Although the potential new systems haven’t yet been modelled for Ottawa, city treasurer Marian Simulik said most municipalities with fixed/volume systems fix about 35 per cent of the cost and leave the remaining 65 per cent to be charged on volume. Staff has also put an emphasis on making sure the system is fair for all users across the city – meaning the 45,000 customers on private services or without a water metre will likely have to start paying for storm water services under the new system. Prior to 2001, storm water charges were found on property tax bills. But that charge was transferred to the water bill during amalgamation, and tied to water usage. Since Ottawa residents on wells don’t have a water bill, they don’t have a storm water bill, either. Simulik said the review will make sure residents pay for the services they use: if they use water, sewage and storm water, they’ll pay for all three. If they just use storm water services, they’ll just pay for that, she said. Public consultation is planned for this fall, and staff will recommend a new structure in early 2016.

Strike action is planned for Ottawa secondary schools starting May 20, but it won’t be the full-scale walkout seen at other Ontario boards. On May 15, the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board announced that they had received notice of strike action by the union representing secondary school teachers. The Ontario Secondary School Teachers Federation, like other teachers unions, is required to give the board five days’ notice before any strike action. According to the public board, “the partial withdrawal (of services) mainly affects administrative duties,” with regular school operations continuing for the schools involved. This includes field trips and extracurricular activities. The public board is one of seven Ontario school boards targeted by the OSSTF for labour action. Already, teachers in Peel, Durham and
Rainbow districts have walked off the job to protest stalled talks between the union and the province. According to the notice sent to the school board, the strike action will consist of omitting comments from report cards, taking part in “solidarity days,” voluntary lunchtime pickets, avoidance of staff and department meetings and school board committee meetings, refusal to distribute board materials or communications to students, and refusal to participate in curriculum and course writing. As well, teachers will refuse to complete annual learning plans and no longer participate in school or board improvement plans, as well as professional learning communities. A partial withdrawal of service is already in effect for public elementary schools in Ottawa, following a strike vote by the Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario. That action, billed as Phase 1 of the union’s planned labour action, began on May 11.

Two memorials commemorating Canadian veterans are set to be built at Richmond Landing by 2017. Veterans Affairs Minister Erin O’Toole unveiled the location of the memorials, which will pay tribute to Canadians who served in Afghanistan, as well as those who have won the Victoria Cross, on May 12. “Ottawa is a capital city that is full of symbols,” O’Toole said at a ceremony at Richmond Landing. “Many of these symbols honour the sacrifice that have secured our parliamentary democracy, housed mere yards away.” The National Victoria Cross Memorial and the National Memorial to Canada’s Mission in Afghanistan will join the Royal Canadian Navy Monument at Richmond Landing, which sits near the Ottawa River, behind the Library and Archives Canada building.
The memorials will be part of a new 2.8-kilometre memorial route, stretching from the Cartier Square Drill Hall, past the Canadian War Museum and to the National War Memorial. This route is part of “long term vision plan for national military commemoration in the capital,” the National Capital Commission has developed over the last year, said Mark Kristmanson of the NCC. The NCC has committed $5 million towards Richmond Landing, which also happens to be the site where a number of soldiers disembarked after the War of 1812 and travelled up the road to found the town of Richmond. “It’s entirely fitting this new zone of military commemoration will start here at Richmond Landing,” Kristmanson said. More than 40,000 Canadian armed forces members were deployed to Afghanistan over a 12year period. During the mission, 158 Canadians were killed and more than 1,800 were injured.

Veteran Affairs Minister Erin O’Toole unveils the location of two memorials at Richmond Landing, which will honour those who fought in the war in Afghanistan as well as those Canadians who have been awarded the Victoria Cross.
in 1856, the Victoria Cross is the highest combat award in the country’s military and 99 Canadians have been given the medal. All of their names will all be on the Victoria Cross memorial. The government plans to launch a design competition in the coming months for the memorials and expects they will be built by 2017, for the 150th anniversary of Canada’s confederation.
In addition to paying tribute to soldiers, the memorials will commemorate civilians who were part of the effort to rebuild the war-torn country, officials said. “Whether it’s in Kandahar or in Calgary, if a man or woman serving their country is injured or falls in the line of duty, we will remember them,” O’Toole said.

When you think of the last century of Canadian military operations, it’s the trenches of the First World War and the beaches of Normandy that first come to mind, not the fight against tooth decay. Though dentistry plays an important role in the Canadian military, it’s been largely overlooked since the Royal Canadian Dental Corps was established 100 years ago. The Canadian War Museum has now shed light on the country’s tradition of military dentistry via a new exhibition, which opened on May 12. Oral History – A Century of Canadian Military Dentistry traces the practice from its origins in the muddy battlefields of 1915 France to the modern, expansive service it is today. “There was some (previous) understanding that soldiers in the field required dental care, but when World War One began, they realized it would be a war of unprecedented scope, so a corps was established,” explained Canadian War Museum historian Dr. John Maker. Early military dentists, who operated on the front lines and in field camps further behind the fighting, were trained to repair bullet and shrapnel damage to teeth and gums, as well as treat a condition known as “trench mouth.” “The actual condition is called ‘advanced necrotizing gingivitis’, caused by excessively bad oral hygiene,” said Maker. “Fifty-thousand soldiers were treated for trench mouth during World War One. Treatment involved antiseptic solutions, treating any rotten teeth and ensuring proper follow-up care.” Poor dental health actually prevented soldiers from entering the military during that war, and military dentists worked hard to bring potential enlistees up to a basic standard of oral health in order for them to serve.
Not only would a toothache add to the misery of trench warfare, it would cause any solder suffering from one to become less alert, and more vulnerable. As well, soldiers needed to be able to chew the hardtack biscuits contained in their military rations – something not possible with rotten teeth. The museum’s exhibit recreates one of the early dental clinics, complete with period implements like a foot-powered dental drill. Contrast is provided by an adjacent mock-up of a modern military clinic, as well as a detailed look at the surprisingly wide array of recent activities performed by Canada’s dental corps. Besides performing basic care on troops, military doctors have set up field clinics and training centres in impoverished areas, and assist in identifying victims of mass-casualty incidents and natural disasters. “After the crash of Swissair Flight 111 off of Nova Scotia, the armed forces deployed a team of dentists to identify human remains,” said Maker, adding that 102 victims were ultimately identified by Canadian army dentists by way of dental records. “After the 2010 Haiti earthquake, they were deployed to identify Canadian citizens.” Countless “missing in action” soldiers were identified through dental records following the world wars, but the work didn’t end once the smoke cleared and grass returned to the battlefield. Last year, military dentists worked as forensic investigators to identify the remains of Pvt. Albert Laubenstein, who was killed in action in Europe in 1945. “Afterwards, his body was buried, but became lost,” said Maker. “He was discovered in June 2014 by a metal detector hobbyist. After identifying him, he was re-interred in the Netherlands this year.” Already open to the public, the exhibition runs until Nov. 15 of this year.

Six years after forming, a group dedicated to fundraising for Parkinson’s disease is nearing its $1-million goal. Partners Investing in Parkinson’s Research was formed by a group of Ottawa investment advisors in 2009 to raise funds from within the community. Since then, it has raised $60,000, with another $70,000 expected from this year’s round of donations. The group takes advantage of the annual Ottawa Race Weekend to solicit pledges for participants in the run. This year, more than 100 runners will be helping the group’s cause, in addition to 18 members of a Kanata chapter that performed their own fundraising walk on May 14. “When we started out, we had about 25 people,” said co-founder Richard Shantz, whose wife Janet lives with Parkinson’s disease. “Like
any group, the baton starts to get passed to new people. Each year we try and get new people involved.” The group provides base funding to scientists, in order for them to leverage more grant money in their quest for new treatments and a cure. According to Shantz, when the group started out, Parkinson’s disease wasn’t a wellknown ailment – something that hampered fundraising and research. “(Awareness) was stimulated by Michael J. Fox, who started getting things moving to the next level,” said Shantz. “There’s been quite a bit on the research side as far as advancing treatments … There’s been progress in helping doctors recognize symptoms earlier, and they’ve created a support program in Ottawa to help those living with Parkinson’s.” Shantz said that researchers at Ottawa hospitals share

their information for a common goal, and there are growing numbers of them. “We’ve seen more research doctors coming into Ottawa as a result of us being able to kick-start things,” he said. One neurosurgeon is working in the cutting-edge field of deep brain stimulation to reduce Parkinson’s symptoms. Another has developed a pump to efficiently deliver medication one molecule at a time. As always, Shantz will be taking part in the race weekend. He remains thankful for everyone who joins him in his cause, and points to the earlier Kanata walk as an example of why people do it. “The Kanata walk was, in and of itself, inspirational,” said Shantz. “The people who walked to support PIPR were walking for a friend. That’s a groundswell of people saying ‘I want to support my friend’ – that’s what it’s all about.”
Armoured car operator strike could see area ATMs run dry Grocery stores could also be affected by cash delivery stoppages Alex Robinson alex.robinson@metroland.com
Those who depend on ATMs might want to stock up on cash. More than 135 armoured car operators, who deliver money to cash machines for Garda Security in the Ottawa region, launched a strike on May 14 after talks broke down between the union representing the employees and the company. This means that ATMs across the city could run dry over the Victoria Day long weekend. Some major grocery stores Garda restocks, such as Metro, could also be stuck for change if a deal is not met. “People are going to be feeling it at the ATM machines,”
said Andre Desjardins, the local president. “It’s the first long weekend of the spring so it’s going to be busy.” The Garda Security workers are represented by Unifor, the largest private sector union in the country.At the heart of the dispute is a disagreement over pensions and benefits. Desjardins said Garda is looking for an agreement that would have workers contribute more to their benefits, paying 50 per cent by the plan’s fifth year. “That would be a huge expense,” Desjardins said. Garda is also looking to change pensions from defined benefits plans to defined contribution, Desjardins said. This would mean that in“That was way to easy!”

stead of having a set amount that retired workers would receive from their employer, they would get whatever was left in a retirement investment account that would typically have contributions from both the company and the employee. A representative for Garda Security refused to comment. A crowd of employees stood outside Garda Security’s building, at 1303 Michael St., after the security company escorted them off the premises and initiated a lockout as the strike started. “We want the company to come back to the table and negotiate,” Desjardins said. “That’s all we want.

Batter up, Ottawa
B
uy me some peanuts and Cracker Jacks, I don’t care if I ever come back.
Ottawa’s newest sports franchise makes its debut tomorrow, May 22. We wish the Ottawa Champions good weather, plenty of hits and a championship to go with their name, even if it’s not in year one. The city has seen sports teams come and go, no more so than on the diamond at what was JetForm Park, then Ottawa Stadium and now the tongue-twisting Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton Park. Ottawa sports fans have been called fickle for their wavering support of sports franchises, but we all love a winner, and we’ll prop up less successful teams if the product is entertaining. As the Champions take to the field this weekend, the fans will be there. Can-Am league baseball isn’t the major leagues but – based on the defunct Rapids – there is no questioning the complete effort the players deliver. The stadium, the ticket and concession prices and the overall experience promise good value
for money, especially for families. Add in the recent addition of a pedestrian link from the Transitway to the ballpark, and the trip becomes even more family friendly. Fans will see teams from Canadian and American cities visit to play our Champions, and that in turn creates revenue for service providers in the city. Any time tourism numbers can be boosted, the public should show its support. It takes a lot of guts to invest in a sports team, especially when past franchises have moved away. The Ottawa Champions Baseball Club ownership took that into account and decided the city would back the team. They’ve given us a vote of confidence and showed more bravado when the name was chosen. Win or lose, they’re part of our city now. Let me root, root, root, For the home team, If they don’t win it’s a shame For it’s one, two, three strikes you’re out At the old ball game

Swimming upstream in face of parking problems
I
n Ottawa we love to talk about parking. We love to talk about parking more than we love to park. Actually, we love to do anything more than we love parking. The parking conversation is a moveable feast, jumping from neighbourhood to neighbourhood. Recently, there have been discussions about Lansdowne, where there seems to be uncertainty about where parking actually is. You’d think a few good signs would clear that up, but life is never as simple as that. The most recent emergence of the parking conversation is in the Westboro and Wellington West areas, where on-street parking has traditionally been free, with signs limiting the length of time a car can stay in one spot. That either hasn’t worked, or

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town has worked too well, depending on whom you consult. It’s actually the same thing either way: free parking lures cars to the neighbourhood and creates a shortage of free parking. Can the situation be improved? Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper organized a recent meeting at which the problems were aired. Inevitably, the possibility of paid parking in Westboro was discussed. Now, there are experts on both sides of this issue.

is an expert. So there is no shortage of opinions. There is just a shortage of clearcut answers. Paid parking, it is said by some, facilitates more rapid turnover of available spaces, thus making more parking available. But wouldn’t strict enforcement of time limits on free parking accomplish the same thing? Perhaps, but that wouldn’t be popular with merchants. The prospect of parking control officers lurking might scare away potential customers. On the other hand, making them feed the parking meter will also be a deterrent, according to merchants. The opinion was even expressed that only wealthier people would shop in Westboro, which would threaten the existence of small businesses.

If that seems extreme, remember that not too far away are large shopping centres with lots of stores and free parking. Owning a small business is not for the faint of heart. More parking garages? It is to laugh. You should never underestimate the legendary cheapness of the average Ottawan. He will drive many blocks out of his way to save two dollars. Inevitably, that takes him onto a residential street, where he parks in front of your house. Now, that doesn’t seem like a huge burden, but it can be a nuisance when dozens of cars are circling your block while the kids are playing street hockey. Paid parking might add to this problem. On the other hand, it exists already. I know of a family, situated less than half a block from a happening stretch of Wellington Street. They can walk to everything, but they’ve just decided to move out, because of other people’s cars. CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING SALES:

The problem, in the end, isn’t parking. It’s too many people in cars and too few people on foot, or bicycles. We’re going up against human nature here, trying to stop water from flowing downhill. Even Ottawa city council can’t change that.

Good debt, bad debt
W
e are society addicted to and mired in debt. Our citizens, governments and corporations have no problem justifying the four-letter word for anything. (Look at the success of the bond market in recent years – I added a modest chunk to my retirement savings through my investment in corporate debt). Canadian household debt totalled more than $1.8-trillion by the end of the first quarter this year, the Globe and Mail reported earlier this month as part of a series on debt, “equivalent to more than $50,000 for every man, woman and child in the country.” For every dollar we bring in, we owe $1.63, double the rate of 1990. At root of the problem is the great middle-class, the bourgeois, who have been sold the dream of a millionaire’s life and seem hell bent
BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse on getting it, through credit. My generation – roughly those between 30 and 50 – are among the worst offenders. Thousands of square footage of living space, car collections, new furniture, upgraded kitchens and bathrooms, cottages, designer clothing and trips to the Caribbean. You name it. We want it. We’ve got it. Who can blame us? It’s sold to us at every opportunity. I saw an ad recently for a new suburban development outside of Toronto that pictured a couple. She was wearing a ball gown,
dripping in diamonds. He was wearing a tuxedo. They were standing in front of their mansion. The reality behind the picture, based on what we actually know? Most couples buying in that development would be house poor, wearing Cinderella rags, with a long (expensive) commute to work, and paying increasingly-high utility costs to heat their empty rooms, were it not for cheap credit. I say cheap because the banks are giving away credit so easily at low interest rates, and the more you owe, the more, it seems, they want you
to owe. I did a calculation recently on a “how much house can I afford” mortgage calculator. For fun, I punched in $160,000 per year as the household income (which is roughly what I figure two senior government workers in Ottawa would make). In this experiment, I accounted for $5,000 per year property tax and $2,500 for utility costs. Assuming no other debt, 25-year amortization, a down payment of $100,000 and registered savings of $50,000, the calculator said I could afford a million-dollar home. And that, my friends, is where it all begins. The banks can crunch the numbers any way they like to get you on the debt train. But honestly, a $900,000 mortgage, even for an affluent couple such as the one I tested in the mortgage calculator, is a pretty big stretch. The household expenses start with nearly $5,000 in housing costs, servicing mortgage debt, property tax and utilities, which works out to more than 60 per cent of after-tax income. The next 40 per cent could easily
go toward necessary expenses like repairs and maintenance, food, (modestly-priced) clothing, and transportation. The multiple cars in the driveway would require entirely separate loans. Taking out a loan for education, a small business
leg up through low-interest loans for education. In the Third World, micro-credit has made an enormous difference in the lives of some women and farmers, who would otherwise remain in abject poverty. So debt can be a positive force.
I say cheap because the banks are giving away credit so easily at low interest rates, and the more you owe, the more, it seems, they want you to owe. start-up or for an affordable mortgage can be reasonable and positive. My post-secondary education was paid for through a combination of scholarships and government student loans. Had I been required to save the tens of thousands of dollars to get the degree, I very likely would have slogged away at a minimum wage job for years, without a hope of making it. Likewise, I’ve seen new Canadians given a deserved
But credit for cars, homes and luxury vacations is not a good thing, particularly credit that’s too cheap and too easy to get. Thus, the message from the Globe and Mail earlier this month that “there’s no such thing as good debt,” is one we need to repeat to ourselves over and over and over again – banks, corporations and governments included. In the meantime, we’ll have to sit and wait for the bubble to burst.

A rendering of the winning victims of communism memorial design, which was approved in December 2014, shows a concrete complex meant to honour the political system’s 100 million victims.

The memorial’s winning design proposes a huge cement complex described as “a solemnly rising modern concrete sculpture,” which maxes out at nine metres high. Nussbaum said he doesn’t have a problem with honouring victims of communism, but he does take issue with the federal government erasing 60-year-old plans to build a third federal court building on that spot. “I personally think it’s important to be respectful in terms of the use of that site and of that long term plan,” Nussbaum said. He has the support of the mayor – Jim Watson has been vocal about his opposition to the location, which he said will blight the landscape. “We’re not taking sides as to whether we need a victims of communism monument, but the location takes away really from the streetscape that has been thought about and developed in consultation over the past several decades,” Watson said after council on May 13. He reiterated the need for public input. “My hope is we continue to garner support and the government will sit down and have a proper consultation about where that memorial should go,” he said. The NCC approved the site for the memorial in 2012, although it had originally proposed putting it several hundred metres down the road in the Garden of Provinces and Territories. That wasn’t prominent enough for the private group Tribute to Liberty, which has been spearheading the project and ran the design competition. The city is not the first to speak out against the project’s scope and location. Backlash across the country has been growing since the winning design was announced last December. The Royal Architectural Institute of Canada denounced it this winter, along with the Supreme Court of Canada Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin, NDP MP Paul Dewar and countless residents. Nepean-Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre said the memorial’s location is “entirely appropriate” and will serve to “honour the more than 100 million lives lost under communist regimes, and pay tribute to the Canadian ideals of liberty, freedom, democracy and human rights.” The Tribute to Liberty website said construction of the monument’s wall of remembrance will begin “in early 2015.”

Memorial park to honour Fallowfield bus crash victims Emma Jackson
emma.jackson@metroland.com
R0013283043
It’s hard to have a moment of reflection in the middle of traffic. That’s why Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder has been working with the families of six people killed in a 2013 bus crash to develop a quiet remembrance park near the Fallowfield park and ride, so people can pay their respects in safety and solitude. During morning rush hour on Sept. 18, 2013, an OC Transpo express bus was travelling north on the Transitway
near Fallowfield train station when it crashed through a level rail crossing and collided with a westbound VIA Rail train. The front of the double-decker bus was shorn off, killing six people including the bus driver, David Woodard. Now the city is spending $125,000 to develop a park for reflection and contemplation about 250 metres from the crash site, just east of the train station. Harder revealed part of the plan at a council meeting on May 13. A secluded spot north of the parking lot will
feature a symmetrical stand of trees in traditional “bosquet” style, and will offer a naturally private space thanks to an existing hedgerow. The parkette is meant to give families a safe place to go other than the rail crossing, which right now has an ad hoc memorial set up by family and friends of the victims. But with trains and buses going by, that spot can be dangerous and inaccessible. “(The families) need a place to be close,” Harder said. “It’s the closest point they could be safely and still have protection and privacy.” What wasn’t revealed at council were the plans for six individual memorials representing the victims’ lives. That’s a purposeful omission, Harder said, in part to protect the families from prying questions until the project is complete. But she said the memorial has been driven by the families and will represent how they remember their loved ones. “What you’re going to see is why each of them mattered to their families and their community,” she said. “When you look at the pieces you’ll think, ‘Wow that’s something neat about that person.’” The six people killed were Michael

Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder revealed preliminary plans on May 13 for a memorial honouring six victims of a 2013 crash between an OC Transpo bus and a VIA Rail train. Bleakney, 57, Connor Boyd, 21, Karen Krzyzewski, 53, Kyle Nash, 21, Rob More, 35 and Woodard, 45. Only Woodard was not a Barrhaven resident, Harder said. The individual memorials haven’t been finalized, but will likely be arranged as six different places with a communal spot for reflection in the middle. That could also include a place to leave messages, Harder said, and a plaque about the crash. “The story is about more than just the people who passed away, it is a story about 91 people from Barrhaven specifically, that were on one bus that
were involved in a tragedy,” she said. Harder said she hopes to officially open the park around Thanksgiving of this year, a month after the collision’s second anniversary. The cause of the crash is still under investigation at the Transportation Safety Board, although investigators said in September 2014 that distraction may have been a factor, as the driver was looking at a small video monitor of the upper deck seconds before impact. Speed could also have been a factor. Mayor Jim Watson said the city does not yet know when a final TSB report may be published.

Glebe heritage on display once again New plaque replaces one that went missing in 2007 Alex Robinson
alex.robinson@metroland.com
A heritage plaque celebrating the founding of the Glebe has returned to the neighbourhood. The city has installed the plaque at the corner of First Avenue and Bank Street to mark the transfer of a 72hectare swath of land to the city in 1837 that later became the Glebe. The bronze plaque replaced an original that was mounted on a metal pole at the corner of Bank and Second Avenue until it disappeared in 2007. There was no police report filed when it went missing, but residents believe it was either stolen or mislaid by construction workers. “We aren’t sure if it was pulled out and put aside and lost or if someone just took it when it was set aside,” said Lynn Barlow of the Glebe Community Association. “No one knew where
it had gone.” The original was first installed in 1991 by the Glebe Community Association and the St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church. The association split the initial cost of the plaque with the church and the city agreed to put aside $125 every year since then for its maintenance. Barlow has been working with the city and other community groups to replace it since 2012. “It was really a group effort. There were a lot of different people,” she said. “I want to thank the city for following through to the end.” Avery Marshall, a city administrator who worked on the project, and Capital Coun. David Chernushenko joined members of the association, the Glebe BIA, St. Andrew’s and St. Giles Presbyterian Church to unveil the new plaque on May 12.
The plaque was attached to the outside wall of St. Giles, at the intersection of First Avenue and Bank Street. It reads: “A glebe of approximately 200 acres was granted for the support of the Church of Scotland at Bytown (St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church) on the 3rd of April 1837, pursuant to the Quebec Act of 1774. Described as lot H, concession C of Nepean Township, it was originally bounded by present day Glebe Avenue, Fifth Avenue, Bronson Avenue and Main Street. Serious development west of the canal began in the 1890s, and the term the Glebe now describes the entire 600 acres bound by the Rideau Canal and the Queensway.” Barlow said she hopes this time the plaque is in the Glebe to stay. “It gives people identity and a sense of community,” she said. “Many people think ‘Oh Glebe where did that come from?’ and that’s asked a lot. Hopefully this will give a little of explanation.”

Audrey’s advancing maturity became upsetting
M
y sister Audrey was growing up, and I didn’t like it one bit. Because she was older than I was, she had more privileges, like staying up later than the rest of us whenever she felt like it. That meant I had to go to bed alone, and as hard as I tried, I could never stay awake until she climbed the stairs. And I would open my eyes to the sun pouring in the east window. And Audrey no longer had to wear those terrible orangey-beige cotton stockings. She wore lisle with a seam up the back which I thought was the height of fashion. Although, it was only talked about in hushed tones, she also wore a bra bought right out of Eaton’s catalogue. It was called an “unmentionable,” and there was enough mystery about a girl wearing a bra that on wash day, it was even hidden under a towel when hung out on the clothesline.
MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories My little friend on the next farm, Velma, had three older sisters, and they were already going to dances and strawberry socials, usually at the Lutheran Church, so Velma knew all there was to know about sisters growing up. “Just wait until you sister starts bringing a boy home for Sunday supper,” she said. “You can be sure they’ll soon be talking about a wedding.” Well! The very thought of my sister Audrey going off and getting married sent ice water right through my veins. “And don’t think he has to be a Lutheran either,” she said. “Two of my sisters are seeing boys from the United

Church.” She curled her lip. She said it as if it was a sin right up there with saying a swear word, or telling a lie to your mother. Well, it wasn’t long after that little talk in the two-seater wood swing in the grape arbour, that one Saturday, the house was in a state of turmoil like I hadn’t seen since we got a phone call that the member of Parliament was paying a call to the farm. The house was torn apart, swept from top to bottom, lists made to take into Renfrew, and Audrey’s one and only church dress was hand-washed, hung in the sun to dry, and ironed and put on
a wood hanger behind the parlour door. When I tried to find out what all the excitement was about, Audrey told me to keep out of her way, as if I was a bug found on the stoop. Then there was talk about what we would be eating at Sunday night supper. Well, Sunday supper was always the same: a roast of pork brought right out of the smokehouse. Audrey was sent upstairs to the trunk in the hall and told to bring down the white linen tablecloth Mother had brought from New York, and which was only used at Christmas time or when Aunt Lizzie came from Regina. And then it hit me, just like a bolt of lightning. We would be having a boy Audrey was sweet on coming for supper. I was torn between the excitement of having company for Sunday supper, and dread that this was the beginning of the end to having my beloved sister all to myself. Well, there was nothing I could do about
it, but I was determined not to like whoever it was. Mother wouldn’t tolerate being rude, but I certainly wouldn’t be going out of my way to be pleasant either. Another sign that Sunday was going to be something special, was when Mother said we were to stay in our good clothes when we got home from church. The table had been set beforehand, white tablecloth, and a special effort was made to try to have all the dishes match. I had no idea who would be coming, but he must be someone special for Mother and Audrey to go to all that trouble. But I had made up my mind not to like him. Well, finally, after Audrey kept running from the window facing the lane, and going to the mirror that hung at the back door to check her hair, a car drove into the yard. It certainly was a few steps up from the old Model T parked at the drive shed. It was as black as
your boot, and the top folded down, and you could see the shining inside right from the kitchen window. And then this tall streak of manhood unwrapped himself from the front seat, leaving the motor purring like a kitten. Mother shook his hand, Audrey was as red as a beat, and I did nothing more than nod when Audrey said, “This is my little sister Mary.” Well, what happened next was like something right out of a storybook. “So this is Mary,” he said, ruffling my hair. “Well, I think a trip to Briscoe’s General Store for some ice cream is in order. What do you say, Mary?” I was in that slick car before you could say “Jack Robinson.” Audrey was helped into the front seat, and we tore out the lane like a bullet. I could see my three brothers lined up in the barn door, glaring. Never did I feel so important. In my mind’s eye I pictured myself in a long dress with flowers in my hair at my sister’s wedding. I didn’t care if he was Lutheran, United or a Catholic from Mount St. Patrick.

Paid parking signs confuse Mooney’s Bay visitors emma.jackson@metroland.com
Have you been wandering around the Mooney’s Bay parking lot, dazed and confused, searching for a parking meter at which to do your civic duty and pay for parking? You’re not the only one. The city is in the process of reinstalling its seasonal pay-and-display parking meters at the beachfront park off
Riverside Drive. Visitors will have to pay for parking beginning on the Victoria Day long weekend through Labour Day. But city staff posted payand-display signs demanding payment from motorists on May 7, a week before the actual machines were due to be installed. That left visitors searching for a way to avoid getting ticketed. On Friday, May 8, clusters of strangers were teaming up
to hunt for the elusive ticket machines, to no avail. After 20 minutes or so, people were observed giving up the quest and heading to the beach or to get dibs a picnic table in the unseasonably warm weather. City staff were not made available to speak on the matter, but an emailed response from parking services manager Doug Robertson said the machines were scheduled to be installed May 16.

In a bowl, beat the egg whites using an electric mixer until soft peaks form, about two minutes. Sprinkle with sugar, and beat on high speed until stiff and shiny, about five minutes. In a small bowl, combine the vinegar, cornstarch and vanilla. On low speed, beat the cornstarch mixture into the egg whites just until blended. Spoon the mixture into eight mounds at least five centimetres (two inches) apart, onto two parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Using the back of a spoon, shape each mound into a nest with a slight indent in the centre. Place in a 180 C (350 F) oven and immediately reduce heat to 150 C (300 F). Bake for 30 minutes. Turn off the heat and leave in the oven
for 20 minutes. Remove to a wire rack and let cool. In a medium saucepan, combine the rhubarb, honey, orange rind and juice and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Cook the sauce, stirring frequently, until thickened – about seven minutes. Let it cool and then chill. Whip the cream with sugar until it’s stiff. Fold in 175 ml (3/4 cup) of the rhubarb sauce. Spoon about 50 ml (1/4 cup) of the cream mixture into each meringue. Serve topped with a dollop of the rhubarb sauce. Tips: Meringues can be filled with the cream mixture a few hours ahead, but top with the rhubarb sauce just before serving. Make the meringues a few days ahead and store in airtight containers.

Despite much hand-wringing around the planning committee table, a temporary zoning amendment was approved on May 12 to allow Notre Dame Basilica in the Byward Market to maintain a public parking lot on its property. The iconic downtown church has been allowed to offer 57 public spaces since 2003, when the city approved the demolition of two heritage buildings on the site to expand the church’s 85-spot permanent parking lot as a money-making scheme for the parish. It received a three-year zoning amendment for the 57 spots at the time, and the plan was to use the extra revenue to eventually redevelop the land into something other than

Twelve years later, the
church has now received four of these three-year parking agreements, despite the city’s desire to discourage surface parking in the area. Yet the church has no imme-

– committee chairwoman Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder told Vice to bring back a “strong message” to the church that the committee members want to see some movement on the file in the near future.

instead of permanently rezoning to allow parking forever. Already the church’s grandfathered 85 spots are allowed to remain, unless the church wants to redevelop them. “You can’t force the church to have the money to do the construction, we can only help to facilitate that,” Chiarelli said.

diate plans to redevelop the lot any time soon. “I don’t want to mislead anyone, it won’t happen at the end of this temporary grant,” said Peter Vice, the church’s lawyer, citing lack of funds. He said plans were drafted for redevelopment, but it was too expensive for the church to accomplish. While the desire to develop hasn’t changed, it “will not happen in the short term,” he told the committee. Lowertown Community Association member Robert Tritt asked the committee to reject the application on the grounds that it “sends absolutely the wrong message about how the city feels about surface parking in the central area, in the market, in a heritage district, particularly where two heritage buildings were destroyed.” Failing that, he said he at least wanted the committee to consider telling the church this is its last extension. The committee didn’t go that far – the amendment was carried without any changes

In partnership with
Sandy Hill to become newest heritage area Emma Jackson
emma.jackson@metroland.com
Some may call it “sweet justice,” but a new heritage area for Sandy Hill might not have the legal strength to protect itself. That’s the concern for Chad Rollins, who represented Action Sandy Hill at a built heritage sub-committee on May 14 to support a set of sweeping changes to the area’s heritage status. After nearly 10 years of study, the sub-committee approved several new heritage protections for the neighbourhood: • The creation of a new “cultural heritage character area” stretching generally from King Edward Avenue to the Rideau River, and from Besserer Street to Somerset Street West. • Guidelines for developing and renovating historic properties inside the new character area. • Management plans for the neighbourhood’s five existing heritage conservation districts.
Emma Jackson/Metroland
Streets like Russell Avenue in Sandy Hill will be included as part of a new heritage character area, but the designation won’t necessarily protect buildings from redevelopment. • The addition of 332 buildings to the city’s heritage register, which requires owners to notify the city 60 days before demolishing a structure so staff can protect it if necessary. Those are all great steps, Rollins said, but he’s worried the guidelines – which suggest preferred treatment for everything from chimney repair to paint colours – won’t actu-
ally prevent developers from changing or knocking down buildings as they see fit. “There may not be enough teeth to it to actually achieve the goal of preserving our significant built heritage in this area,” he told the committee. He said the association would have liked the entire area to have been designated under the Ontario Heritage
Act, which would have given staff more power to control what gets demolished and changed. Some of the area already is protected. There are currently five small heritage conservation districts in Sandy Hill that are designated under the heritage act, and some individual buildings as well.
But for buildings without heritage status, as long as a developer’s plans jive with the zoning requirements on the property, they can pretty much do whatever they want – even if it contravenes the new guidelines, staff confirmed at the meeting. However this situation could just be temporary, at least for some of the choicest historic streets in the neighbourhood. Staff have flagged four individual properties and four potential new heritage conservation districts in the neighbourhood, for which they will have to come back to committee in 2016 to recommend whether or not they should be designated. The four properties up for heritage designation are École Saint-Pierre at 353 Friel St., École Franco-Jeunesse at 119 Osgoode St. and houses at 55 Russell Avenue and 323 Chapel Street. The new conservation districts would cover: • Russell and Blackburn
avenues and Chapel Street between Laurier Avenue and Osgoode Street. • King Edward Avenue and Henderson and Nelson streets between Laurier and Osgoode. • Marlborough Avenue and Range Road between Laurier and Osgoode. • Besserer Street and Daly Avenue east of Charlotte Street. That’s good, Rollins said, but after 10 years of study he said the city should have just gone ahead and approved those districts now instead of adding another year or more to the wait. This particular heritage study goes back to 2004, when the city received a legal settlement of $250,000 from a developer that illegally demolished two heritage buildings at the corner of Nicholas and Waller streets. Planners decided to put some of that money toward a comprehensive heritage study. When the new protections were introduced, committee chairman Coun. Tobi Nussbaum called the outcome “sweet justice” since the demolish of heritage buildings led to greater protection for the neighbourhood.

Old Ottawa East braces for Main St. construction Work to transform road into ‘complete street’ starts May 24 Alex Robinson
alex.robinson@metroland.com
Residents, commuters and business owners are bracing for disruption as construction was set to begin on the Main Street redevelopment project. The plan, which will transform the road into a “complete street,” will close down lanes on large portions of the roads over two years, beginning May 24. While happy with the ultimate goal of making the street friendlier to pedestrians and cyclists, many residents expressed concern that commuters will cut through their neighbourhood during the construction. In order to try to alleviate this problem, the city has bought four speed boards for the project that will be used in a variety of locations as construction progresses to slow
drivers down. “Speed is the real issue,” project manager Josée Valée said at an open house the city held on May 11 to inform residents about the construction. “We can only address volume so much. We want to make sure that if they do travel through the neighbourhood that they travel at a reasonable speed so it’s safe.” The city also has a number of other traffic control devices it might use depending on the data it gets back from its speed boards, such as installing speed bumps, banning left turns onto certain roads and narrowing side streets, Valée said. The city is also hoping to encourage commuters to take alternate routes and to avoid driving down Main Street unless they absolutely have to. The redevelopment plan, which was approved by city council in
chernushenko@ottawa.ca if they are experiencing difficulties due to the construction. LANE CLOSURES
2013, will widen sidewalks and install bike lanes along Main Street. This will limit the number of lanes for vehicular traffic down to one in each direction at many points along the street with the hope of slowing drivers down. The work will also include replacing the water mains, the combined sewer system and installing public artworks. Having experienced the Bank Street reconstruction in the Glebe a few years earlier, Capital Coun. David Chernushenko said the problems caused by construction will be a headache, but will only be temporary. “It’s going to be congested. It’s going to be noisy. It’s going to be dusty,” he said. “It’s going to be two years, but let’s support each other. We’ll get through this.” The councillor encouraged residents to email his office at david.
The first phase of construction will close off northbound traffic from Clegg Street to Lees Avenue, with a single southbound lane until the summer of 2016. From Greenfield Avenue to Hawthorne Avenue, there will be one lane of traffic open in each direction until June 19, when there will only be a southbound lane. There will also be no northbound traffic from Greenfield to Echo Drive during that time. Further south, there will be one lane in each direction open at all times from Clegg to Riverdale Avenue, until a six month period later in 2015 or early 2016 when the northbound lane will be closed. Other parts of the street will be limited to just one lane in each direction, with intermittent lane closures on most sections until 2017.

Old Ottawa East residents also voiced concern over the planned removal of 127 old trees for the project. While the city has pledged to plant 200 to 260 trees along Main Street as part of the project, a number of residents expressed sadness that the older trees could not be saved. “Really big old trees don’t sprout like mushrooms,” said resident Cheryl Watters. “We’re trying to be environmentally friendly, but at the expense of the trees.” The city has determined that 66 per cent of the old trees are in poor health and would need to come down anyway. Around 14 per cent of the trees that are going to come down are ash trees, which have been ravaged by the emerald ash borer.

Ottawa West News - Thursday, May 21, 2015
OC Transpo plans to change routes of northbound buses that would usually travel up Main Street to turn west on Clegg, up Colonel By Drive and then east on Hawthorne. Commuters will have to board and get off the bus on stops on Clegg and Hawthorne, as there will be no stops on Colonel By. The city recommends drivers go west on Riverside Drive or Riverdale Drive and Sunnyside Avenue to Bank Street. The detour then suggests drivers travel north on Bank Street until turning east on Isabella Street. The city also has suggested detour routes for cyclists who would usually go up Main Street, sending them up Echo Drive instead. A number of Alta Vista commuters, who drive on Main Street to travel downtown, attended the open house to voice concern over how the construction will affect them. Chris Malekos, who uses Main Street to get downtown, said he was told by city staff to take Alta Vista Drive to Hwy. 417 and to exit at Nicholas Street. But the Nicholas Street exit is set to be limited to one lane over a six-month period during the Main Street construction. “They’re choking off two main routes,” he said. “Where are the cars going to go?” TREE CONCERNS

Indigenous women have long been ‘othered’: expert Issue dates back to colonial times, professor says Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com
Violence against indigenous women in Canada can be traced back to the earliest contact with European explorers, according to a Carleton University scholar. Dr. Kahente Horn-Miller led a panel discussion at city hall on May 14 as part of a Crime Prevention Ottawa speaker series. Horn-Miller said the current issue of murdered and missing indigenous women in Canada may only be getting media attention now, but is a problem stretching back 500 years. She said those first European men imposed their Eurocentric view of women onto the aboriginal communities they encountered. Paintings and other images from that time depict native men as violent savages, while the women were hyper-sexualized, she said.
Over time this gave way to tropes like the “Indian princess” imagery that made its way into popular culture in the 19th and 20th centuries. “These are the images that have permeated society,” HornMiller said. “These images are how people construct how they see our women. They’re seen as nothing, they’re not valued.” This persistent over-sexualization has allowed men to take advantage of indigenous women more than other groups. According to the RCMP, indigenous women are four times more likely to be murdered than non-Indigenous women. Official statistics show that more than 1,100 indigenous women have been murdered or gone missing since 1980. But that’s just women with Indian status – there are many other indigenous women not included in that number, HornMiller said.
Her presentation was part of a breakfast panel discussion hosted by Crime Prevention Ottawa in the city’s council chambers. The panel of experts included employment councillor Verna McGregor –whose relative was killed by men building the Rideau Canal – Cherry Smiley with the Native Women’s Association of Canada, and Delilah Saunders, whose sister Loretta was murdered in 2014. Horn-Miller repeated the aboriginal community’s call for a national inquiry into why so many indigenous women have been targeted for violence, but she said she’s willing to negotiate with the federal government to find “middle ground” and other solutions. That could include better funding for health and education in native communities, and a strategy for putting recommendations into action rather than just letting them sit on a shelf.

Sick or injured patients whose conditions don’t warrant a trip to hospital are clogging up the emergency department at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario, according to the doctor who studied why parents are bringing children with nonurgent problems to the region’s pediatric ER. That study, conducted from 2011 to 2012 and recently accepted for publication, has prompted the hospital to launch the Choosing Wisely initiative to educate parents on how to manage their child’s symptoms – such as fevers, colds, coughs, rashes and minor injuries – until they can be seen by a family doctor or at a walk-in clinic. Between 80 and 100 of the more than 200 patients that come to CHEO’s emergency department each day, could, in
fact, be seen by a family doctor. “It can definitely affect the waiting times for the more urgent patients,” said Dr. Ken Farion, medical director of quality at CHEO, who led the study. “If maybe half of those (nonurgent) patients don’t need to be there then that’s definitely preventing you from getting to the top of the line to then talk to the triage nurse to get things started,” he said. CHEO first experienced a spike in non-urgent cases at the emergency department in 200809 when it began working to improve wait times. And about six years ago, an ambulatory zone was also created at the hospital, “which families now think of as a walkin clinic,” Farion said, adding that word spread when patients were waiting two hours instead of five. “We were a victim of our

own success.” Parents today are also less comfortable with their child’s health issues compared to previous generations. “More and more they’re turning to the Internet, (and) not necessarily to approved sites,” said Farion. “They’re using doctor Google and putting in a few things and getting all kinds of stuff that gets them really panicked.” As a result, the ER is almost at capacity in terms of space. “Now we’re seeing them in the hallway or waiting room amongst people who are bunkbedded in the waiting room,” Farion said. “That isn’t good care either, especially when a lot of these children are there with potentially infectious problems and we’re not able to isolate them and put them in their own rooms right off the bat.” To alleviate some of the pressure, ER doctors will rate a child’s injury or illness, from non-urgent to urgent to lifethreatening, at the end of every visit. “It’s a conversation we’re trying to have with families at the end of their visit to bring to their attention that we’ve had a marked increase in the number of patients, but more importantly a disproportionate increase in the number of lower-acuity patients that are clogging up the emergency department, making it hard for us to provide really good care to those kids who really need to be with us,” said Farion. Parents will also be given a pamphlet with information
on how they can manage their child’s symptoms and help them decide when a fever, injury or common symptom requires a trip to the ER. It’s about “socializing the idea that not everything needs to be seen in the emergency department,” he said. Pediatric emergency rooms across Canada are also experiencing a similar upswing in demand. “We know how hard it is for parents to decide what to do when their child is ill,” Dr. Gina Neto, CHEO’s acting chief of emergency medicine, said in a statement. “Unfortunately, coming to the emergency department costs the health-care system a lot more than care in a family doctor’s office or walkin clinic – and makes it harder for us to care for the children and youth who really need our specialized help.” Over the past five years, the hospital has experienced a rise in the number of visits to its emergency department. Last year, it saw more than 72,000 patients. Nine out of 10 patients who visit the ER already have a primary care provider, according to research conducted at CHEO. While many procedures are only offered at a hospital, including stitches, casts, trauma treatment or infectious disease isolation, several others are available in community-based doctors’ offices, clinics and medical labs. “Many families assume their primary care provider won’t be available for an acute program, but many practices offer sameday appointments, after-hours clinics or telephone advice for their patients,” CHEO said in a statement. For more information on medical problems that should and shouldn’t be seen in the ER, visit cheo.on.ca/en/choosingwisely.

Mooney’s Bay Park footbridge re-opens after three-year closure Erin McCracken
erin.mccracken@metroland.com
Residents who have been pressing for years for the reopening of a footbridge at the south end of Mooney’s Bay Park recently had reason to celebrate. The new wooden span was actually installed earlier this spring, but a ribbon-cutting ceremony on May 17 made its grand reopening official, and gives residents back their treasured shortcut. “It was December 2012 when NCC closed it and I started my mission of being a thorn in the side,” said Riverside Park resident Carolyn Searle. The land the bridge is on is owned by the National Capital Commission, but the bridge is maintained by the city, since it owns the majority of the park. Searle has been a regular user of the park, and has diligently alerted the city whenever the bridge was in disrepair and needed a step replaced due to weathering. She was disappointed when
Erin McCracken/Metroland
The grand reopening of the footbridge at the south end of Mooney’s Bay Park was celebrated May 17 by Riverside Park residents Carolyn Searle, left, who has long advocated for the pedestrian bridge to reopen, River Ward Coun. Riley Brockington’s step mother, Doris Fiszer, and father, Bruce Brockington, Riley Brockington and former city councillor and long-time Riverside Park resident George Brown. it was closed without notice. “This was so convenient,” said Searle, who began her letter-writing campaign in early 2013 to former River Ward
councillor Marie McRae. “And it’s been closed three-and-ahalf years.” The delay was attributed to a lengthy approval process both
at the city and NCC levels, and the steps involved in issuing a request for proposals to build the structure, which was crafted with locally-sourced eastern
white cedar wood, Searle said she was told. “And not only the bridge, but because this is a protected habitat in here,” she said of the reason for the delay, motioning to a small marsh where redwing black birds fly from one bull rush to another. When the bridge was first built, it was given a coat of lead paint, which has chipped off over the years, contaminating the surrounding soil. Before the new span could be installed, the ground needed remediation. The new structure won’t be treated or painted in order to safeguard the natural environment. “They don’t want treatment or paint to fall into the water,” River Coun. Riley Brockington said during his remarks prior to the ribbon-cutting ceremony. When work began in earnest late last fall, it didn’t take long to complete the project, said Searle. Like other local residents, including members of a crosscountry skiing club, she relied on the bridge as a shortcut as
she navigated her way along the bank of the Rideau River. Without the structure, it meant having to go the long way around the creek and back up to the sidewalk along Riverside Drive. “I guess it reaches the point where the old bridge could only be repaired so much,” Searle said of the span, which was installed in 1960, along with three similar bridges at the north end of the park, which are currently closed to pedestrians. “But (those structures) don’t have a creek, so it’s not as urgent,” Searle said. The cost of the project included a one-time $25,000 design fee. “So if the city does the other bridges, it’ll be the same design, same type of bridge,” said Brockington. The city currently has no plans in place to replace those footbridges in the short term. “Given the remaining bridges don’t span water, city staff say that those rebuilds will be a greater challenge due to limited finances,” Brockington said.

At Hospice Care Ottawa, the staff, volunteers and family focus on comfort, support and care rather than cure. Family focus: Hospice care focuses on the entire family. Hospice staff and volunteers help family members become involved in the client’s care.

Sens owner buoyed by response to urgent liver transplant plea No viable donor yet confirmed for Eugene Melnyk Adam Kveton
adam.kveton@metroland.com
Though no viable donor has been announced, ailing Ottawa Senators owner Eugene Melnyk says the response to his plea for a live liver donor has “given me all the strength I need at this difficult time.” The Senators hockey club sent out a news release explaining Melnyk’s “urgent need of a liver transplant” on May 14. The release said Melnyk has been “battling major health issues since mid-January,” but did not go into detail about what those health issues are, but pointed to the issues as the reason for his conspicuous absence during the Senators’ regular-season comeback to qualify for Stanley Cup playoffs. Melnyk was admitted to hospital four weeks ago due to liver-related complications, and, after undergoing medical assessment, was told he ur-
gently needs a new liver. In a statement from Melnyk released May 18, he said friends and family had exhausted all hope of finding a suitable donor for him themselves, and convinced him to go public. Since then, the Senators have received more than 2,000 calls and emails in support of Melnyk, and more than 500 donor applications have been received by the university health network that is assessing donors for Melnyk. “I have been overwhelmed by the outpouring of support from the public and the media,” said Melnyk in a statement. “It is truly heart-warming to feel loved by so many people.” So far, a suitable candidate for a live liver transplant has not been identified, though applicants are still being screened. In the Senators first statement, the sports group explained the transplant of part of a liver is not usually debili-
tating for the donor. “The liver is a highly resilient organ that can regenerate itself within 90-120 days and return back to its normal size,” said Dr. Atul Humar, the medical director of the University Health Network’s multi-organ transplant program and quoted in the Senators news release. “Any healthy adult between the ages of 18-55 years could be a potential live liver donor,” he said, adding that, of the more than 600 live liver donor transplants that have been performed at the University Health Network, all donors have returned to their lives without restrictions. The Senators club said Melnyk’s health “remains stable” and that it continues to encourage anyone interested in being a donor to complete the donor assessment form, which can be found at uhn.ca. The form can then be faxed to Toronto General Hospital’s living donor assessment office at 416-340-4317, and that anyone having trouble doing that can get help from Senators staff at 613-599-0100.

Stars of running world ready to hit streets of Ottawa More than 48,000 runners to participate Race Weekend Alex Robinson
alex.robinson@metroland.com
This year’s Tamarack Race Weekend is set to see more elite runners competing in the 10K than ever before, organizers said. The race will welcome almost 100 elite runners from across the world. Among them will be the top runners from seven countries, eight provinces and one territory, organizers said. There will also be five men from the top 25 road racers.
“The combination of being a gold label event and hosting the National Championship has led to the deepest 10K field that I have seen on Canadian soil,” said Manny Rodrigues, the elite athlete coordinator for the race. “The depth is incredible.” Last year’s runner up in the men’s 10K, Kenyan David Kogei, is set to return to Ottawa for the annual race. Kogei ran the race in 28:06 last year, just six seconds behind fellow Kenyan Wilson Kiprop. Of the women competing in the race, Ethiopian runner Ruti Aga who placed second last year with a time of 32:20, will also return. Mary Keitany, of Kenya, beat her last year, with a time of 31:21. The Tamarack 10K is one of the world’s leading road races and

Race organizers also expect to see event records broken in the marathon this year. The men’s marathon has seen the record broken in four out of the last five years and the women’s record has been surpassed three out of the last six years. Of the marathon runners, Girmay Birhanu, of Ethiopia, is expected to compete for the first place, as he won the Daegu Marathon in Korea last month with a time of 2:07:26. Of the women’s marathon runners, Ethiopian Maselech Melkamu is
among the racers to watch as she also won the marathon in Korea, organizers said. More than 48,000 will run in the weekend’s six races, which include a marathon, half-marathon, 10K, 5K, 2K and kid’s run. The 10K race will start at 6:30 p.m. on May 23 at the corner of Laurier Avenue and Elgin Street. The marathon will begin at 7 a.m. on May 24 at the same corner. The race weekend will be kick off with a party on Sparks Street on May 22 from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and a health and fitness expo at the
Shaw Centre that evening from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. The races will close down many parts of downtown streets to cars at varying times during the May 23-24 weekend.

De La Salle grad to carry Pan Am torch brier.dodge@metroland.com
Orléans resident Karelle Edwards , an Olympic-hopeful in hurdling, has been chosen as Ottawa’s Pan American Games torchbearer. The city was given the opportunity to choose one torchbearer, and put out a call for nominations in January. Edwards said her father’s friend nominated her to cover the downtown route. “For Canada to have the Pan Am Games is already huge,” said Edwards, 25. “So to be part of the kickoff is an absolute honour.” Edwards will run the portion of the relay through central Ottawa, while the Pan Am Games committee is still to announce torchbearers for the Kanata, Barrhaven and Orléans legs of the relay. The hurdler could potentially make the Games herself, as she has already run the cut-off standard time in her event, the 100-metre hurdles. Only the top two female Canadian runners in the event will be selected to compete. Last time she checked, Edwards was ranked third, but said she tries not to pay attention to the rankings too much. “The goal is just to keep running – and run fast,” she said. Canadian athletes have until June
14 to post their best times with Athletics Canada before the team is selected. Her ultimate goal is to qualify for the 2016 Olympics – an event that takes the top three Canadians based on upcoming Olympic trials performance. Edwards competed in the last Olympic trials, and made the finals. It was her first competitive season after a three-year break due to a back injury. After switching from gymnastics to track and field as a De La Salle high school student, she represented Canada at the 2007 World Youth Championships in Athletics, and the next year competed at the IAAF World Junior Championships. She returned from her hiatus due to injury and now trains with the Ottawa Lions and coach Craig Taylor, working towards the goal of qualifying for the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The University of Ottawa graduate has put her future plans of becoming a chiropractor on hold as she focuses full-time on her track career. She said the excitement around the Pan American Games being in her home country will be motivation to work towards her goals. “Just being at home, there’ll be so much hype,” she said. “I’m really excited and looking forward to it, and I’m hoping I do make the team and I’m able to represent Canada.”
Karelle Edwards, 25, will carry the torch on behalf of Ottawa during the Pan American Games torch relay.

Taking it to streets for annual Goode Run Brian Dryden
brian.dryden@metroland.com
Taking it to the streets of Osgoode has proven to be a major boost for the annual Goode Run in the village. Organizers of the Goode Run are already planning how to make the event even better next year, after a record number of participants laced up their sneakers for this year’s run on May 9. What made this year’s run, the fifth annual, differ from past years is that for the first time, the run was held on local streets through the village after being held on the Osgoode pathway in the past. “This is our biggest year yet by far,” said race director
Heather Roe of the number of people who participated. “We actually ran the course through the town and the feedback we’ve been getting has been very positive, it’s very encouraging for the future.” The goal this year was to attract 500 participants and raise about $30,000 for the Osgoode Youth Association. Participants numbered 550, the largest number ever, and so far, about $28,000 has been raised, with the final fundraising total still being calculated. Along with the runners, the event also involved 45 volunteers and 15 sponsors, which Roe said indicates the level of support for the event that has developed over the years. “That was way to easy!”
“The support in the community has been fantastic, we can’t thank the people of Osgoode enough for the level of support we’ve been getting,” Roe said. The run is the main fundraising event annually for the Osgoode Youth Association. According to the O-YA’s website, the association relies on funds raised through the Goode Run to exist and is the biggest single source of income for the youth centre. In 2014, the Goode Run raised $15,885 for the O-YA, a total that will almost double this year when the final bookkeeping is completed. The increase in funds raised is much needed for the youth association.

City Councillor/Conseiller Municipal River Ward/Quartier Rivière Water and Sewer Rate Review The City will embark on a review of the financial structure of the water, wastewater and stormwater rate that is charged to homeowners. This has been precipitated by the declining and unpredictable levels of water consumption the City has faced for many years. It seems that the success of water conservation has worked so well, that the revenues the City has realized continue to fall; we have one success at the cost to the other. Most Ontario municipalities utilize a two-part water and wastewater rate structure to recover service costs from a fixed service charge and a volumetric charge. City staff will report back to the Environment Committee before March 31, 2016 with their recommendations. Public consultation is expected to occur in the Autumn 2015 at which time the City will explain the various options studied, how they were evaluated and the estimated impact on various customers.

Every month, they announce the specific focus and in May it is motorcycle safety, unsafe vehicles and heavy trucks. Between 2009 and 2013, there were 790 collisions involving motorcycles resulting in 542 injuries and 12 fatalities and between 2008 and 2012, 707 reportable collisions on Ottawa roadways involved unsafe vehicles resulting in 213 injuries; 13 serious injuries and six fatalities. Causes of these collisions included defective brakes, steering, tires, lights, engine controls, trailer hitches, suspension, as well as obscured vision.

Ottawa wrestler brings show back to hometown Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com
OrlĂŠans wrestler Devon Nicholson will wrestle in Ottawa for the first time in six years on May 30 when he brings his Great North Wrestling show to the Earl Armstrong Arena. Nicholson â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who wrestles under the moniker Hannibal â&#x20AC;&#x201C; took a three-year hiatus from wrestling after he contracted hepatitis C from Larry Shreve, also known as Abdullah the Butcher. He successfully sued Shreve for cutting him with a blade and passing on hepatitis C. He was cured through intense treatments, and was discharged by his doc-
tors in February. He said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s excited to finally wrestle again in Ottawa, where he still lives. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of my friends obviously live in Ottawa and OrlĂŠans,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have a lot of my friends who have never seen me wrestle, and a lot of people who havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen me wrestle in a while there. I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be a good moment.â&#x20AC;? Nicholson will wrestle against Sudanese wrestler Soa Amin â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who weighs more than 300 pounds â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in a round that will be guest referred by sus-
pended senator Patrick Brazeau. He expects about 1,000 people to come out to the show. Nicholson said the shows are family friendly, with no swearing or female wrestlers in skimpy costumes. The show starts at 7:30 p.m. and costs $15 per ticket. Tickets are available at ticketweb.ca. Tickets will be available at the door for an extra $5.

For Ottawa Fury FC’s new goalkeeper Waleed Cassis, signing a contract to join the team on May 12 meant completing a circular journey that began in Ottawa and took him to Brazil and the United States. Returning to Ottawa after living years playing soccer abroad, Cassis is the team’s only Ottawa native, born in Nepean. “I grew up here so for me it’s an honour because growing up we never had a pro team,” Cassis said. “And when I found out that they created the Fury, I was really happy about it because I could go back home and represent my city.” Cassis, 23, joined the team’s roster after spending March and April training on trial with the club. Signing a contact with the North American Soccer League team was
the next rung on a ladder that has seen him split a five-season NCAA career between the University at Buffalo and California State University Los Angeles. Cassis also spent time playing on the U23 squad with MLS club Chivas. Ottawa Fury head coach Marc Dos Santos said Cassis fills a need for a third goalkeeper on the team, to assure security and stability. “Waleed has shown great things in training,” said Dos Santos. “We believe he has a great margin for progression.” The team’s goalkeeper coach, Bruce Grobbelaar, called Cassis “a good shot stopper with very good command of his area.” With his interest in soccer beginning at the age of seven as a striker, Cassis had no idea he would ever want to pursue a career as a goalkeeper until he gave the position a chance a few years later. “I always hated playing
goalkeeper. I actually really hated it,” Cassis said. “Then one winter I was put in goal because we didn’t have anyone to do it, so I played my first game and I really liked it from then on. I developed a passion for it.” So he took up goalkeeping at the age of nine and, from then on, was committed to the role. After solidifying his passion for the game playing for the Nepean City Storm as a child, Cassis spent time in Brazil further developing his skills with Sao Carlos FC (U17-U18) and Independente de Limeira FC (U20) before moving on to play in the U.S. At the end of June and into July, Cassis will represent Canada in the FISU World University Games in Korea. “It’s really exciting,” Cassis said. “I played in Brazil and I played in the US, but to actually play for my country on the world stage, I haven’t done that yet and I’ve always wanted to.”

This weeks puzzle answers in next weeks issue
Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, your sign pulls back this week and you may focus more on the artistic or spiritual. It can be a highly intuitive time of self-reflection for you. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, if you have been backtracking over past decisions, it’s time to look at things again with a clear perspective -- even if that means you need some advice from a third party. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, you achieve some financial stability this week and enjoy the opportunity to breathe easy. Don’t go overboard, but reward yourself for your financial discipline. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 There is much career energy coming your way, Cancer. You may find yourself with more job offers than you ever thought to entertain. This is not a time to sit back and let things slide. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Beauty and balance are brought into your life, Leo. Use the opportunity to brighten up your space with some decorating or a welcome change of scenery. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, you may have more energy than you know what to do with this week. Find a way to funnel it into a creative or worthwhile endeavor, like volunteer work.
