Parkdale off-ramp comment period begins steph.willems@metroland.com
Community - The public is invited to weigh in on planned changes to the Parkdale Avenue/Highway 417 interchange. The Ministry of Transportation retained Ottawa’s MMM Group Limited to complete the design work on the interchange project, the details of which are subject to a 30-day public review period. The design and construction report will be available for viewing from Sept. 24 to Oct. 24., both online and in person at city hall and the main
and Rosemount branches of the Ottawa Public Library. The project has been in the planning stage for some time, and will lead to changes in vehicle movements once completed. The most significant element of the project will be the realignment of the westbound off-ramp at Parkdale and its separation from Westmount Avenue. Access to Parkdale from Westmount will be cut off, with the street becoming a two-way roadway that terminates in a cul-de-sac. See NIGHTLY, page 4

News - Young and old alike packed the new Carlingwood YMCA/YWCA on Sept. 27 for its big opening weekend. The centre, located inside the Carlingwood Mall, opened in stages over the past eight months. The grand opening was put off until the pool was complete. With a mid-September opening of the pool, the centre was finally able to host its big party. “We have a lot of family-based programs,” said Dylan Harris, the regional director. “But that being said, we have something for everyone.” He said highlights include the fitness pool and TRX wall – a unique piece of exercise equipment. Alecia O’Brien, who could be found dancing in a zumba class with her young daughter Chloe attached to her, said she enjoys the family programming and frequently brings
baby along. Another mother, Maria Smith, said she’s happy to have the location open because it can keep all her family’s activities central. With a family membership, and her three-year-old and five-year-old children are looking forward to this fall’s floor hockey and dance classes. “It’ll be nice to be in walking distance of all their activities,” said Smith, who lives just down the street from the mall. “And to have them all in one place.” The former Carlingwood YMCA, located at 200 Lockhart Ave., closed its doors after 45 years. In 2010, the organization determined that the condition, age and small size of the property made major renovations unviable, and the property was sold. They continued to lease it until 2012, when it had to close. Harris said the Carlingwood location now has about 2,500 members.
Contentious Norman Street condo appealed to OMB steph.willems@metroland.com
Community - A controversial condo development in Little Italy has been appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board. The Dalhousie Community Association filed the appeal on Sept. 22, an attempt to overturn the city’s July decision to approve the 112-unit, nine-storey condo slated for 101 Norman St. When proposed, the development saw significant backlash from a neighbourhood immersed in a community design plan exercise. At nine storeys, and located on a dead-end street surrounded by low-rise homes
and businesses, residents said the proposal would stand out and overload the area’s limited road infrastructure with vehicle traffic. Association president Michael Powell said the group had to become incorporated (Dalhousie Community Association of Ottawa) to file the appeal. “We think we have a pretty strong case,” said Powell. “We don’t think there’s a good planning rationale for what would end up happening at the site.” Powell said the appeal is for both the rezoning of the property and the city’s secondary plan for the area. The association plans to point out the site’s anoma-
lous height when compared to the streets around it. The recent CDP process for the area revealed that residents and planners wanted to keep the low-rise nature of the residential streets on either side of Preston Street, with taller heights closer to Carling Avenue and on Rochester Street to keep with intensification. The application also targets the 15 storeys allowed on Young Street, adjacent to the Queensway and O-Train tracks, under the secondary plan. “This is about making sure there’s appropriate balance with development in the neighbourhood,” said Powell.
“There are lots of opportunities for high rise development on Carling and Rochester. We want to make sure the low-rise neighbourhoods are protected, which is in keeping with the city’s intentions.” Given the dead-end street, the Norman Street develop-
ment would complicate emergency vehicle response, he added. The association has been “fundraising like mad” to cover the cost of the appeal, said Powell, adding that legal counsel and a planner have been retained. In all, the cost

Archives exhibit depicts ‘A City Shaped By Fire’ Ottawa’s history of fires, artifacts, displayed in sombre exhibit Steph Willems
steph.willems@metroland.com
THE CANADIAN TIRE SNOWSUIT FUND
News - Were it not for the work of firefighters and volunteers, Ottawa would likely have burned to the ground twice in the first century of its existence. These events – the Ottawa Valley-wide forest fires of 1870 and the city’s “Great Fire” of 1900 – make up part of a new exhibition at the City of Ottawa Archives. Ashes: A City Shaped By Fire opened at the new archives
facility on Tallwood Drive on Sept. 25. Featuring photographs, artifacts and information on the growth of the city’s firefighting force – as well as their most significant exploits – the exhibit’s opening night was attended by members of Ottawa Fire Services. Paul Henry, city archivist, said the exhibit is part of the archive’s exhibition program, which aims to “tell the interesting and compelling stories which emerge from the gathering of historic documentation.”
Ottawa fire chief John deHooge thanked everyone involved in the project “for their painstaking research and outstanding effort to showcase major fires and events that shaped our city and Ottawa Fire Services.” “This is truly a proud moment for our service, said deHooge. “Not unlike our dependence on world war veterans who remind us of their sacrifice to protect nations, we in the fire service rely on our veterans to tell of stories long past and experiences shared

in battling these major fires that teach our younger members valuable lessons to keep our firefighters and citizens safe. The lessons learned from decades of major fires and disasters shaped today’s modern Ottawa Fire Service. Our recent international accreditation, advances in firefighter and public safety, innovations in technology and our leading international effort to create fire dynamics curriculum are a few examples of how history has shaped our service.” Early Ottawa was threatened just three years after Confederation by a sweeping forest fire that raged across hundreds of kilometres of farmland, forest and fields. The fledgling city was spared by a drastic measure taken at the last possible minute – the dam holding back the waters of Dow’s Lake was breached, creating a watery fireblock that stretched from the lake to the Ottawa River. The city’s organized fire services arose from this close call, and the first firefighter to be killed in the line of duty fell in 1877. In 1900, when a house fire in Hull spread to the vast lumber stockpiles near Chaudiere Falls on a windy spring morning, the firefighters of
Ottawa leapt into action as the blaze entered and consumed Lebreton Flats. That day, Ottawa firefighters were joined by civilian volunteers, military personnel and firefighters and equipment that arrived by rail from Montreal. Wind direction, geography and hard work by firefighters prevented the entire city from being consumed by flames, though thousands were left homeless by the blaze and damage totalled well into the millions of dollars. Phil Jenkins, an Ottawa-area historian and columnist, said
that construction occurring on the modern-day Lebreton Flats uncovered an inch-deep layer of dark ash, a relic of the bustling industrial community that disappeared that day. In classic Canadian storytelling style, Jenkins sang a folk song he penned about the 1900 fire. The Great Fire of 1900 depicts a terrifying day in the city’s history where a “battle was fought all day” by anyone who was able and willing to man a bucket brigade. The exhibit runs in the archive’s gallery until March 21, 2015.

A barrier and noise wall will be installed from Parkdale to Rosemount Avenue, with a free-standing wall continuing from Rosemount to Melrose Avenue. The eastbound approach to Parkdale will be widened to accommodate left and right turning lanes.
Associated work, such as landscaping, relocation of lights and utilities, drainage improvements and retaining wall repair will be accomplished at the same time. Once construction gets underway, the CDR predicts a nightly closure of the westbound on-ramp lasting two weeks, followed by a two-
month temporary closure. The eastbound off-ramp will close nightly for three weeks. Comments related to the project must be made prior to Oct. 24, with feedback being submitted to the consultant project manager or the MTO project engineer.

Bay Ward candidates tackle issues of flooding, taxes, transit Cullen pledges to revisit St. Thomas school sale if elected jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
News - The Bay Ward debate hosted by former Nepean councillor Merv Sullivan was somewhat chaotic, with candidates verbally sparring with each other over local issues. The debate was hosted in the room bearing Sullivan’s name at Maki House in Crystal Beach on Sept. 25. Two-time candidate George Guirguis spent most of his speaking time criticizing the spending of former councillor Alex Cullen and incumbent Mark Taylor. “I am the only right-wing candidate who will fight for taxpayers,� Guirguis said, comparing the city’s budget to that of the office budget for Buckingham Palace. The slate of candidates ranged from long-time resident Trevor Robinson, to health care worker Brendan Mertens, who
entered the race by showcasing anti-bear videos on YouTube. Michael Pastien, who ran for school board trustee in the 2010 election, described himself as an entrepreneur. Flooding on Stillwater Crescent was one of the main topics, with residents asking for candidates’ plans of action concerning the ongoing issue. Taylor said the infrastructure in Crystal Beach was built in the ’60s and a lot of work needs to be done to upgrade the neighbourhood. He said he has been working with the city’s public works department to develop a solution to the problem because there aren’t storm sewers in the area. “We are looking for a solution in the interim that helps to deal with the problem that doesn’t involve installing storm sewers,� he said. Mertens said the issue hit close to home for him because he’s had family in Peterborough, Ont. lose their homes
because of flooding. Cullen pledged to work with residents to develop a flooding plan within a year if he is elected. Cullen and Taylor faced off a couple times over what Taylor called “stalled projects� in the ward. Cullen said he would provide better representation and leadership than Taylor, citing the loss of the neighbourhood’s 166 bus route to take students to Bell High School and the planned sale of the St. Thomas school site. Taylor said he wasn’t going to participate in “revisionist history� and said there were several projects in the ward – such as the Britannia berm – a concrete barrier along the Ottawa River to help deal with flooding issues – which never came to fruition under Cullen’s leadership. The loss of St. Thomas school, which sits right next to the community building where

the debate was held, resonated with residents. Cullen pledged to reclaim the property if the sale didn’t go through. The city bought the school in 2010 under the city’s surplus schools policy, but the city planned to sell the property a couple of years later to be developed into 29 townhomes, with a small sliver being added to Maki Park. Retaining the land for a community building without a levy for area residents wouldn’t have been possible without a private partner willing to operate a community centre, Taylor said. “(Former Crystal BeachLakeview Community Association president) Ruth Tremblay put her heart and soul into a proposal for that building and the community’s wishes weren’t represented,� Cullen
said. Candidates also took questions about cycling, campaign fundraising and transit and infrastructure spending. Closing arguments included a heartfelt pledge from George Guirguis to remember the victims of the bus-train collision in Barrhaven last September. Robinson said he wanted to be available for everyone. “If you see me at a coffee shop and ask me about an issue, I am here to talk,� he said. Mertens said he may not know much about politics, but that he wanted to be the community’s advocate around the council table. “I am the blue collar guy and I am tired of the same BS at city hall,� he said. Taylor said he planned to continue to focus on the ba-
sics, and pledged to impose a two-term limit on himself and not run again in 2018. “We focused on things like pipes, parks, roads, paving and things that you focus on every single day,� he said. “There is still work to be done.� Cullen said he plans to provide leadership and be the community’s voice. “I’m not a go-along, getalong politician who votes 99 per cent with the mayor,� he said. Pastien called himself a fiscal realist who will help the mayor keep up the pace. The ward extends from March Road in the west to Sherbourne Road/Maitland Avenue in the east, and from the Ottawa River to the Highway 417. Taylor won the last election with 38 per cent of the vote to Cullen’s 30 per cent.

New house rules – curse and confuse rum, has unapologetically stated that it is not his job to interfere in Question Period. As a pithy Maclean’s blog noted last month, this trend of deflection has always been. “For surely as long as the human species has been able to engage in oral politics, there has been some desire for obfuscation,” wrote Aaron Wherry. “And for likely as long as there have been Question Period, governments have probably found it handy to give someone the job of throwing himself or herself in front of uncomfortable questions.” But maybe, just maybe, it will all backfire. Maybe Calandra went a little too far, taking the trend of low-level discourse and obfuscation to a disturbing extreme. “If there’s a silver lining to this, it’s that pretty much everyone agrees that what happened is a travesty,” said Greta Levy, NDP press secretary. “If a wider concern is voter apathy, it’s worthwhile that this incident has caused anyone who has seen it to say, ‘woah, this is way over the line.’” Levy, for one, is hopeful the shock may shake people out of their political apathy.

And then all his Conservative buddies cheered and jeered, except for one guy who admittedly looked shocked. You should care, because the Conservative Party, which also happens to be in government, is in campaign mode. If Calandra’s behaviour is anything to go by, they don’t seem to have any issue using your time and your money to campaign for their own party inside the House of Commons.

f I asked you about your recent trip to Maine and you responded by talking and swearing about your mother’s house on Vancouver Island and blaming me for always hating that place, someone within earshot may question your state of mind. But, you know, maybe you just didn’t hear me properly the first time. If I asked you again about your Maine vacation, adding more detail and punctuation to ensure understanding, and you responded by repeating your curse-laden monologue about your mother’s house on Vancouver Island which I apparently hated, I’d contemplate calling a psychologist. If I asked a third time about that Maine trip, with more context, and you repeated your first two answers almost swear word for swear word about Vancouver Island, and your friends all stood up behind you and cheered your answer and jeered at me, I’d think about calling the riot police. And yet, that’s essentially what happened in the House of Commons last month. During question period, the leader of the official Opposition, Thomas Mulcair, asked a pretty straightforward question about Canadian troops in Iraq. In response, Conservative cabinet minister Paul Calandra rhymed off rhetoric about the Canadian government’s position on Israel. In his irrelevant monologue, he quoted an apparent NDP fundraiser, including swear words and inflammatory statements. Not once did he mention Iraq. Mulcair asked a follow-up question about Iraq.

Local elections matter
S
igns, signs everywhere are signs‌ They are popping up all over the landscape like dandelions in the spring. The 2014 municipal election is in full swing if you haven’t already guessed by candidates’ signs jockeying for positions on every corner of the map. Some signs are vibrant in colour, design and message, not to mention in size; others are plain and simple on a much smaller scale. No matter the size, or message, colour or noncolour, one thing is the same – keep it legal if you are campaigning. Many do not know there are legal ramifications about erecting election signs – the biggest infraction being permission. According to law enforcement agencies, as well as the Elections Act, there are several laws, rules and regulations to which to adhere. So before candidates go off on a whim, wielding a mallet and a truckload of signs, please make sure you have permission to do so.
This will be an exciting year for voting and changes in the municipalities that this newspaper covers. There are several newcomers and veteran politicians out in full force soliciting your vote. In the next few weeks leading up to Election Day, Oct. 27, we will fill our pages with even more candidate profiles when space allows, then we will recap before voters go to the polls, just who is up for election or re-election in some cases. Being prepared to vote is also an important issue. If you are 18 or older, a Canadian citizen, and you reside in Ottawa (and you’re not prohibited from voting under the Municipal Elections Act, or otherwise by law) then it’s your given right to cast a ballot. Ensure you’re on the voters’ list by calling your municipal office. Visit ottawa.ca for details to make sure you can vote on Oct. 27. No matter what your opinion or stance on the issues that matter most in your community, exercise your right to vote and make your voice heard.

lections have a way of creeping up on us. For years we think of the thing as four years away and all of a sudden it’s a month away. Why weren’t we warned? Now, this isn’t true everywhere. Toronto has been, in a bizarre way, in an election campaign for at least a couple of years. But Ottawa, thank heaven, is a quieter place. Our mayor and councillors generally avoid the outrageous. Which means that we might be thinking about issues instead of personalities when we go to the polls on Oct. 27. Now the trick is to find some. The first public opinion polls on the subject, described in an article published last week, are not encouraging. They show property taxes topping the list

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town of things people consider important, followed by transit. No surprise there: efforts to upgrade transit have got half the city dug up, it sometimes seems. As for property taxes, duh. If you ask people if taxes are important to them, no one is going to say no. The big question is how important. Is the level of property taxes so important that voters will tolerate no increase even for the worthiest of initiatives?

the other issues really matter because no politician will dare propose action on them. That means nothing on homelessness, no new library, no progress on making our waterfront a more interesting place. We’ll have a city that holds the line on taxes and does nothing else. Now, there are those for whom this is an exciting concept, doing nothing. From time to time they pop up in various places, promising never to increase taxes, promising perhaps even cut them. They never succeed (see: Larry O’Brien) although they sometimes claim that they have (see: Rob Ford). Most people, you would hope, want more from their city than just a tidy balance sheet.

you respect them for what they accomplished and you probably don’t even know if they were able to balance the books while doing it. How much did the Eiffel Tower increase the mill rate? Do you even care? Still, no one, not even me, wants to encourage crazy spending on lavish mega-projects. But it would be nice if our candidates for mayor and council could propose some imaginative things for the city to do. The point is, they shouldn’t be afraid to do so. It could be as boring as fixing up infrastructure, making sure bridges don’t fall down or sinkholes don’t open up; it could be as exciting as a plan to end homelessness. It could be a suggestion for breaking the impasse with the National Capital Commission on transit and other matters. It could involve a new library, a new baseball team, a new concert hall (again), new recreational opportuni-
ties for young people, new initiatives to encourage the arts in Ottawa. There is no shortage of things to do. There may not even be a shortage of the will to do them. Polls notwithstanding, my bet is that voters are more ready than the politicians are.

Group wants toilets Mercedes raises the bar with in Dundonald Park new C Class and GLA models Laura Mueller
laura.mueller@metroland.com
News - Public washrooms in Dundonald Park would allow people to use of one Centretown’s few green spaces for longer periods, a group says. The park has been chosen as the first location as a test site for the GottaGo! campaign – an effort to increase liveability and accessibility of public spaces by providing toilet facilities. The group is calling the efforts “Toilets Please for Dundonald Park” or #TP4DP for short on social media. “There is a need for everyone,” said Joan Kuyek of the GottaGo! campaign, noting that the facilities would make it possible for people of all ages and walks of life to spend longer periods in the park enjoying recreational activities and spending time outdoors. A meeting will be held on Thursday, Oct. 9 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at the Royal Canadian Legion, 330 Kent St., to discuss the idea. All members of the community are invited. GottaGo! is also planning to go door-to-door in the area to speak to residents about the idea. If the concept isn’t something patrons of the park are interested in, GottaGo! won’t pursue it further, Kuyek said. While the city isn’t leading the charge and has not set aside any money for the project, Kuyek said she is hopeful that nearby businesses will step up with donations
to help build the facility. City staff has said development charges the city collects from builders of new residential units cannot be used towards washrooms because the facilities don’t expand recreational opportunities in response to residential growth – a requirement in order to use those funds. There is no cost estimate at this point because no designs for the facilities have been drafted. The washrooms will be designed by architects, industrial designers and engineers through Carleton University’s 1125@Carleton lab. The long-term operating costs should be covered by the city, Kuyek said, although those discussions have yet to begin. During the meeting, GottaGo! will present a few design options the group discovered through research. Kuyek said the group had hoped to discuss opportunities to include public restrooms in the redevelopment of the Beer Store on Somerset Street, across from Dundonald Park, but they missed the window of opportunity, Kuyek said.But the company’s officials “see themselves as stakeholders” in the discussion about toilets for the park, Kuyek said. On Sept. 23, the GottaGo! campaign also held a demonstration arguing that public washrooms should be included in all the new light-rail stations the city is building.

By David Johnston State-of-the-art German engineering in a world class design. That’s what sets MercedesBenz above other car manufacturers. And now they have raised the bar again with the introduction of the new C-Class sedan and GLA sport utility vehicle (SUV). A special unveiling at Ogilvie MercedesBenz Sept. 17 introduced Ottawa to the C 300, C 400 and GLA SUV. Reimagined from every angle, the next generation of the world’s bestselling Mercedes-Benz family emerges as more sophisticated, more powerful and more luxurious than ever before. An all-new exterior artfully merges elegant proportions with aggressive bodywork, while a roomier -- and completely redesigned -- cabin delivers an even higher level of luxury and craftsmanship. “To accompany our legendary 4MATIC allwheel drive, the all-new C-Class also receives a major upgrade in the performance department, thanks to mightier and more efficient engines, reengineered suspensions, and for the first time, an available AIRMATIC suspension,” says Sales Manager Leslie Mise. Classleading innovation comes courtesy of not only Mercedes-Benz “Intelligent Drive” safety and assistance technology --such as standard PRESAFE® -- but also an advanced suite of in-vehicle systems that include an all-new touchpad interface and next-generation ‘infotainment‘. The C-Class features newly designed four and six cylinder turbocharged engines in a vehicle that is larger in every dimension than its predecessor. The C-Class retains its sporty demeanor with lightweight body construction with 20 per cent more aluminum parts and electromechanical Direct Steering with ‘Steer Control’. The Intelligent Drive system, optional for the C 400 4Matic, uses the information from a 3D stereo camera in combination with radar sensors fitted all around the vehicle to create intelligent automatic cruise control with lane guidance. Steer Assist automatically keeps the vehicle in the middle of its lane on straight roads and slight bends, if the lane markings on both sides are clearly visible. “If the driver removes their hands from the steering wheel, a warning is emitted and Steer Control is deactivated only if the situation requires it. Slow, hands-off stop-and-go driving in traffic is possible,” says Mise. “That can really reduce fatigue in gridlock circumstances.” Intelligent Drive also includes Brake Assist Plus with Cross-Traffic Assist, which can significantly reduce the risk of rear-end collisions and accidents at intersections. This is accomplished by continuous monitoring of the traffic situation ahead of the vehicle by means of radar sensors and the 3D camera. “When the danger of a collision is recognized, the system gives a visual warning in the instrument cluster as well as an audible warning,” points out Mise. “If the driver firmly applies the brakes, the system calculates the brake pressure required to prevent a collision.” Sensors in the rear bumper monitor traffic behind the vehicle to initiate the Pre-Safe Plus protection system for potential rear-end crashes. Occupant protection measures include features such as reversible belt tensioning. And to prevent mishaps with pedestrians and slow-moving objects such as bicycles, the system is capable of initiating autonomous
braking should the driver fail to react. But the new C-Class is not just about optimal safety, it’s also fun to drive. With comfortable and durable Artico leather upholstery, the C-Class features an Agility Select switch with up to five driving modes. The optional sport package features AMG sport body styling, 18-inch AMG wheels and front sport braking system. When combined with the 3.0L Biturbo V6 engine in the C 400 4 Matic, delivering 329 horsepower and 354 lb-ft of torque, the C-Class is as powerful as it is agile. The next generation ‘infotainment’ system keeps occupants connected while on the go. With the ease of Touchpad, integrated Media Interface and Mercedes Benze apps, plus available Burmester surround-sound system, SiriusXM Satellite Radio and Command Online with voice control, passengers are never far from what matters. “The touchpad has both single and multifinger gesture recognition, wiping movements, zoom and even user handwriting,” adds Mise. All C-Class sedans are equipped with Front Bass audio systems that utilize the vehicle frame as a resonating chamber to provide ultra-precise low notes with extremely little distortion regardless of volume level. The standard audio system has five speakers and 100 watts of power while the optional Burmester system features a whopping 13 speakers and 590 watts of power. And for added versatility, the rear seat in the C-Class has a 3-way split. The middle seat folds down to allow large objects to pass through while keeping rear outboard seats up. GLA SUV - For those who need more room and greater interior versatility, the new Mercedes-Benz GLA SUV has all the space and features anyone could ask for. “The GLA is the first compact premium sports utility vehicle from Mercedes-Benz,” says Mise. “Nimble on the road and capable off it, the all-new 2015 GLA is ready for every turn life takes. A true premium compact SUV with responsive handling and dramatic styling to match, the GLA also offers a thoughtful and innovative interior immersed in signature Mercedes-Benz quality.” Features on the GLA include MercedesBenz, 7-speed dual clutch automatic transmission, 208 hp Turbocharged 4-cylinder engine and Electromechanical power steering coupled with Collision Prevention Assist Plus and Attention Assist. Heated,powered front seats with 12-way memory and Articoleather upholstery make the interior comfortable in any conditions coupled with Advanced Bluetooth connectivity for music streaming and hands- free calling for safety and convenience while motoring. As with the C-Class, the GLA has available Command Online navigation with MB Apps and internet browser. At speeds below 36 km/h, Mercedes exclusivePARKTRONIC with Active Parking As-
sist automatically searches for suitable parking spaces (perpendicular and parallel) using ultrasonic sensors. Active Parking Assist takes over control of the steering wheel if the driver selects reverse gear and confirms the intention to park in the suggested space via the multifunction steering wheel. “The driver merely has to operate the gear selector, accelerator and brake pedals while PARKTRONIC with Active Parking Assist smoothly steers the car into the parking space –as quickly and accurately as an experienced driver,” points out Mise. To improve handling, the ESP® Dynamic Cornering Assist system expands the functionalities of ESP® and enables particularly agile cornering. The system improves traction at the front axle and reduces steering requirement when cornering by slightly braking the inside drive wheel. And the GLA is built to take a load. With available EASY- PACK power tailgate and up to 1,235L of cargo capacity with both rear seats folded, the standard load compartment package includes cargo nets, collapsible box, and 12 V socket in the luggage compartment. OGILVIE HAS IT ALL The all new C-Class and GLA are only two of the many outstanding Mercedes-Benz models available at the newly-expanded and renovated Ogilvie Motors. Renovations recently completed help maintain the dealership’s high standing on the Customer Satisfaction Index which helped the dealership become Number One in Canada in 2013 out of 58 dealers. “We are proud of our experienced, knowledgeable and mature sales team with more than 125 years combined experience,” says Mise. The service department has expanded to 15 bays from six, almost eliminating wait time. And customers enjoy the comfort of an indoor, climate controlled drive-in drop off area where attentive service writers are ready to take care of the problem. “Ogilvie is number one for the right reasons,” says Mise. “We have the best cars backed by the best sales and service team in the business.” Ogilvie Mercedes-Benz is at 1110 St. Laurent Blvd. in Ottawa’s east end.

Barring treatment for the mentally ill Prisons are the new institutions for people with mental-health issues say critics of Canada’s penal policies Blair Edwards

T
he day she learned her son was laying in a catatonic state in his prison cell, Farhat Rehman became an advocate for the rights of prisoners with mentalhealth problems. Rehman remembers sitting nervously in the waiting room of Millhaven Institution, a federal maximumsecurity prison in Bath, Ont., near Kingston, last February. Rehan Kurd had been convicted of second-degree murder and given a life sentence in 2005 with no possibility of parole for 15 years. While suffering from delusions, caused by his schizophrenia, Kurd had stabbed to death his friend and mentor Mohammed Khalil in Ottawa on Feb. 27, 2001. It had only been a few months since Kurd had been transferred to Millhaven from Kingston Penitentiary, which shut down in November 2013. The 42-year-old Ottawa man had served eight years at the Kingston Penitentiary’s regional treatment centre, which provided psychiatric care. When the penitentiary closed in the fall of 2013, Kurd was moved to Millhaven, where his physical and mental health rapidly deteriorated, said his mother. Doped up on risperidone, an antipsychotic used to treat his schizophrenia, he spent up to 24 hours a day laying on his bed in his prison cell. Kurd had been placed in solitary confinement several times over the years – for as long as two to three months at a time, said Rehman. In the past, Kurd had occasionally suffered bouts of illness during which he would sometimes “get loud,” said his mother, resulting in his transfer to the acute-care centre in the Kingston Penitentiary, where he was put in solitary confinement and kept under 24hour observation by a video camera. The last time she had visited her son, in January 2014, Kurd was so groggy from the side effects of his medication, he could barely speak, 10

Rehan Kurd’s health rapidly deteriorated when he was transferred last year from the regional treatment centre at Kingston Penitentiary to Millhaven Institution, a maximum-security jail, says his mother and Ottawa resident, Farhat Rehman, who has since begun advocating for his transfer to a hospital.

While she waited, a correctional officer appeared, asking her to follow him to his office. “I’m sorry, but I went to get your son and he’s not responding,” the officer said, according to Rehman. “I think he’s comatose or something. He’s not responding.” A doctor came into the room and explained that her son refused to take his medication, clozaril, an antipsychotic used to treat schizophrenia in adults, so he was put back on risperidone, which caused drowsiness. She begged the doctor to let her see her son and tell him she was there. After another half hour his son ap-

peared in a closed visiting room. “So I was put back into the enclosed (area) behind the glass, but at least I saw him,” said Rehman. “I talked to him and he was feeling groggy.” During the three-hour drive home to Ottawa from the prison, Rehman heard a radio report that the federal government was funding two psychiatric beds for female prisoners at the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre in Brockville. “That was so hopeful for me,” said Rehman. “This is the time I can (start advocating) for my son.” Rehman soon started writing letters to the Office of the Correctional Investigator of Canada, the federal and provincial ministries of correctional services, anyone who might be able to help her son. The Office of the Correctional Investigator of Canada has since recommended Kurd receive care in a hospital, said his mother.
Kurd is just one of approximately three-dozen inmates serving time in Canada’s federal prisons who should receive care at a hospital, said Howard Sapers, the Correctional Investigator of Canada. “There’s no doubt in my mind that we have individuals who will not benefit from a period of incarceration in any way,” he said. “Their mental illness will prevent them from being able to participate in any programming that would address their criminogenic needs and these are people who are profoundly mentally ill and diagnosed with significant psychiatric disorders and they need to be hospitalized.” Sapers has also recommended federal jails stop the use of long solitary confinements of offenders with acute mental-health needs.

With a population of approximately 15,244 inmates, about 12 per cent, or 1,829 inmates, will be diagnosed with a significant mental illness, such as schizophrenia or major depressive disorder, said Sapers. This translates into the need for a corresponding number of psychiatric inpatient beds, however the five regional treatment centres in Canada’s federal prison system only have approximately 675 beds – less than half what is needed. To make matters worse, Correction-
al Service Canada is in the process of decommissioning some of those beds. “We’ve already identified that the CSC doesn’t have enough treatment beds to meet demand, but they’re actually closing some anyway,” said Sapers. “And it’s not because they’re empty right now, it’s just for other operational reasons, which only the Correctional Service Canada could explain.” The CSC has come to the conclusion it has too many psychiatric beds based on the ratio of beds to the general population of Canada. The problem is you’re comparing apples to oranges, he said. “They are actually quite candid in saying this is a work in process, that they’re trying to get the balance right.” said Sapers. “But my caution to them is, ‘Don’t experiment with people’s lives. If you’re trying to get the balance right, do your homework and then make your changes. Don’t make them running changes and put people at risk.’” STAFF SHORTAGE
Correctional Service Canada is also struggling to hire the needed psychiatrists and psychologists. “We’re seeing some big vacancies in some occupational groups,” said Sapers. Last year, 10 per cent of the correctional services’ psychologist positions were left vacant, and the vacancy rate of other health-care workers – from nurses and pharmacists to doctors and social workers – hovered between five and 10 per cent. Not only are these rates high, they don’t show the reality of the staffing gap, said Sapers. “Some of the positions, which have been vacant for a long time have simply been eliminated,” said Sapers. “So it makes your vacancy rate look smaller if you just stop trying to fill the position.” Meanwhile, some of the positions have been underfilled, he said, meaning the correctional service has hired people with psychology degrees but who are not licensed by the provincial governing body for psychologists. “And it’s not just psychologists,” said Sapers. In the past, the correctional service has hired people with lesser credentials than required to do a job, which means they must fall under the supervision of someone who is qualified.

During the past decade, Canadian jails have seen an alarming increase in the number of inmates with mental illnesses. Nearly half of all incarcerated federal offenders receive a mentalhealth service, according to statistics provided by the federal prisons’ ombudsman. Correctional Service Canada estimates 13 per cent of male offenders and 29 per cent of female offenders in federal custody have mental-health problems when they are admitted to prison. These rates have doubled since 1996. Meanwhile, one in four inmates in Ontario’s provincial jails have been identified as having a possible mental-health issue, according to the Ontario Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services. Over the last decade, Correctional Service Canada has received approximately $50 million in shortterm funding to improve mentalhealth care delivered in federal prisons – $30 million for community mental-health funding and $21.5 million to fund key elements of its strategy, such as computer mentalscreening and training of front-line staff. The correctional department received a further $16.6 million a year, this time in permanent funding, for institutional mental-health services in 2009. But the federal government has a lot of catching up to do, according to a 2010 review of the CSC’s mental-health strategy commissioned by the federal prisons’ ombudsman. “The government will need to invest significant amounts of money in mental health to make up for the decades of neglect to bring the (CSC) to a level of best practices and professional standards,” said John Service, in his report, Under Warrant, A Review of the Correctional Service of Canada’s Mental Health Strategy. “These investments will have to be made quickly and continue over the next decade or two.” Too often, security trumped treatment, stated the report. “CSC mental-health staff members were clear that too often security issues impede or prevent offenders from accessing programs and treatment, often for days and weeks at a time,” states the report. The federal prisons’ ombudsman has recommended the CSC consider offering alternative forms of treatment, such as external healthcare providers, in some instances. The CSC has rejected the recommendation.
Howard Sapers

In 2011, a CSC consultant’s report concluded that a full transfer of CSC health services to other health-care authorities was impractical because Canada doesn’t have a national health-delivery authority. Instead, Correctional Service Canada is always looking to develop partnerships with other agencies that provide mental health-care services, stated the CSC in response to the federal prisons’ ombudsman’s 2011-12 report. For instance, Institut Philippe-Pinel, a forensic hospital in Montreal, provides inpatient psychiatric care to female offenders. In federal prisons, most mentalhealth care is provided at one of the five regional treatment centres, where inmates receive treatment before being returned to the general prison population. But services are in such high demand, the offenders are often released too early, according to a 2013 report by the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health. “The high demand on (regional treatment centre) services also means that they are only available to those with the most acute mental illnesses and other inmates are left untreated or with a limited clinical ottawacommuniattention,” states the report. “These tynews.com offenders receive very little mental-health services and are instead placed in segregation as a security measure.” On the provincial side, all inmates in Ontario jails have access to a variety of mental-health supports, including psychiatrists, psychologists and social workers, said Andrew Morrison, a spokesman for the Ontario Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services. Corrections officers are also trained to detect possible signs of mental illness, he added. Ontario jails have access to four specialized treatment centres for inmates with mental-health needs, he said, and the ministry partners with various social service agencies to provide the necessary programs and services when they are in custody and to assist them when they are discharged.
The province has invested $50 million since 2004 to expand community services such as crisis teams, dedicated beds, mental-health court workers, case managers and supportive housing. But services provided in provincial jails are inconsistent at best, according to a 2012 study by the Schizophrenia Society of Ontario. “Offenders with mental illness are extremely vulnerable in the federal and provincial corrections systems,” concluded the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health report. “Inmates with mental illness do not manage well in prison as demonstrated through disruptive behaviour, aggression, violence, withdrawal and refusal or inability to follow orders and rules.” FALLING THROUGH THE CRACKS
The influx of prisoners identified as needing mental-health services isn’t a recent issue, according to Service, a former executive director of the Canadian Psychological Association. This is a problem that has been decades in the making, starting in the 1960s with the deinstitutionalization of people with mentalhealth disorders across Canada, he states in his Under Warrant report. With the advent of improved psychological care and pharmaceuticals, patients could receive treatment within their communities. This worked for some, states the report, but “at the same time, many people with mental-health problems and disorders were left languishing, not receiving the treatment they needed and consequently coming to the attention of police and the courts.” Critics of the federal government’s tough-on-crime legislation say a large percentage of offenders with mental-health issues are falling through the cracks of a system lacking necessary treatment and support. Mental-health factors do not provide a strong indication of whether an inmate will reoffend, according to Public Safety Canada’s analysis
of a collection of international studies on risk factors for recidivism among “mentally disordered offenders,” carried out between 1959 and 2011. Some people with mental illnesses may commit a crime or “behave in ways that draw police attention,” according to the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health. “How police respond to these interactions is an early predictor of one’s likelihood to be further involved in the justice system,” the centre’s report stated. Heather Stuart, a professor of community health and epidemiology at Queen’s University, who holds the Bell Canada mental health and anti-stigma research chair, said that 60 to 80 per cent of people in jails and prisons would meet the criteria for having a mental disorder. “That suggests to me that there is a high recidivism,” she said. “It used to be that people would be in hospitals in the past, a lot of them, and so the theory goes – it’s called a balloon theory – and if you squeeze the balloon at one end the air goes out the other end, so there’s a certain number of people that may need institutional supports,” she said. “When we closed the hospitals, we took those institutional supports away from them and we didn’t put any supports in the community to help them out to replace the hospitals,” said Stuart. “A lot of them end up in jails, just because they’re out in the community.” Farhat Rehman tried to find help in the community for her son – as a child he was referred to a family psychiatrist at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario, and as an adult he was later diagnosed with depression and obsessive compulsive disorder. “My son’s diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder was only confirmed in the assessment after he was apprehended in February 2001,” said Rehman. Prisoners with mental-health issues who are judged not criminally responsible receive treatment in prisons and the possibility of leading a productive life, she said. “But for those like my son, there seems to be nothing available except for a punishment model that results in lasting damage and no end to their incarceration.” With files from Erin McCracken

Strong field of Somerset candidates seek to set themselves apart laura.mueller@metroland.com
News - Nine of 11 candidates vying to be Somerset Ward councillor spent their time during a Dalhousie debate trying to differentiate each other based on skills. When it came to the issues – whether it was accepting corporate and union campaign donations,
building more green spaces, rejecting corporate and union campaign donations, supporting supervised drug-consumption sites or turning Albert/Slater into complete streets once light rail is up and running – most of the candidates found common ground. One revealing question submitted by an audience member asked candidates how they would differentiate
themselves from the retiring councillor, Diane Holmes, who has represented the community for 30 years. Catherine McKenney made no bones about the fact that she would style herself in Holmes’ model, but with her own approach to relationship building and problem solving. “I guarantee you that you will get the same values and work ethic (as Holmes),” McKenney said.

Conor Meade styled himself as her opposite, describing himself as an “outsider, someone not from city hall.” He focused on his background in business and economics and his “new vision” would make the ward a more affordable, more liveable place. Edward Conway styled himself as an expert on intensification, which he says he has been writing about for 20 years and said he would also be someone who has been independent from city hall. Morrison focused on his ability to build relationships and consensus on issues important to the ward – something he has had experience with as past chairman of the Centretown Community Health Centre board and in his career government relations. He said he is best poised to turn words into actions. Canning said he has been fighting against poor development for years, but after his experience helping for the city’s first Ecodistrict, he sees that working towards a more liveable, sustainable city is more productive than working against things. Riley, whose focus is on increasing the minimum wage, said he’d ensure residents are heard and consulted. For a play-by-play of the question-and-answer session, go to ottawacommunitynews.com, where you can find a collection of tweets from the meeting.
Martin Canning said he would reach out to the community by holding pop-up offices in different areas of the ward. Edward Conway focused on keeping residents in the loop and informing them of things at city hall as soon as they happen. Jeff Morrison said he’d bring fresh ideas and energy to the role, while Lili Weemen took that concept a bit further, calling for term limits for city councillors and assuring voters she would step down after two terms if she is elected. A couple candidates, Tom McVeigh and Conor Meade, focused on a promise to build better relationships with the local business community – something that draws on their strengths in the business world. McVeigh is a landlord and sits on the Wellington West Business Improvement Area board, while Meade has a degree in economics and owns a printing business. The candidates leaned on their backgrounds to distinguish themselves in the minds of voters, who packed St. Luke’s church on Somerset Street on Sept. 23 for a debate organized by the Dalhousie Community Association. McKenney emphasized that she already has strong relationships with city councillors and staff, as well as a deep knowledge of city hall due to her 15 years on staff, including most recently as aide to deputy city manager Steve Kanellakos.

News - The National Capital Commission’s plan to turn LeBreton Flats into a “worldclass destination” kicked off on Sept. 30 with a call for interested developers. It’s the first step in a twopart process that would eventually see the vacant land south of Wellington Street and west of Booth Street redeveloped. In a press release, NCC chief executive Mark Kristmanson said he sees the 9.3 hectare plot as a “prime strategic location for a signature development that will close the loop on the capital’s ceremonial core.” The NCC said it will look for a proposal that will “serve as an economic driver, feature innovative use of the land and bring design excellence, animation and a unique public experience to the nation’s capital.” In addition to the 9.3 hectares, the NCC will ask potential developers to submit a “development planning out-

The National Capital Commission will seek proposals for development on 9.3 hectares shown in a red outline at the right, as well as additional ‘option lands’ in yellow at the left for a total of 12.3 hectares. look” on a broader 12.3 hectares, which is being referred to as “option lands.” After the Dec. 5 deadline, the NCC will assess interested developers on the extent and relevance of their development experience, their design expertise and their financial capacity to deliver the project. Up to five proponents will be shortlisted.
In the second stage, shortlisted developers would be invited to submit a detailed design and financial proposal. A successful proponent would be chosen next fall. Ottawa-West Nepean MP John Baird, the minister responsible for the NCC, said two-stage process is the best way to turn LeBreton Flats into a place that makes Cana-
dians proud of the capital. “The flexibility that is integrated into this process will encourage innovation and imagination, enabling LeBreton Flats to truly reach its full potential as a destination befitting our Nation’s capital,” Baird said in a press release. In May, Kristmanson told the Ottawa West News that the NCC was ready to move on from the never-realized 1996 vision for LeBreton Flats as a mixed-use community. That plan led to developer Claridge purchasing part of the land, which used to be home to the workers who built Ottawa. The advent of light-rail transit and Windmill’s proposed redevelopment of the Chaudière Islands adjacent to the flats, have changed the context of the area, Kristmason said at the time. In May, Kristmanson emphasized that some kind of major “anchor” will be an important part of redefining the vision for the flats. “We’ll be looking for some kind of an anchor institution or an attraction and then other
The redevelopment will be one of the largest and most significant projects of its kind in Ottawa. Other projects are larger, but in arguably less significant locations, including 10.5-hectare former institutional land in Old Ottawa East that will hold businesses and 970 housing units and a plan to redevelop the former Rockcliffe air base to contain businesses, institutions and up to 6,000 residential units on 125 hectares of land.

uses on the rest of the site, but we’re just starting that process, so it’s a bit early to comment,” he said. Information about the project will be posted online at ncc-ccn.gc.ca/lebreton. The project itself should be innovative and result in an “inspirational place that will demonstrate design excellence and innovation.” It should appeal to both Canadians and tourists from abroad, the NCC said.

Change in season brought relief for grateful Father
T
he old maple tree in the front yard had turned crimson, and all around the farm that year I could tell that soon we would be settling in for the cold days of fall, and then winter would be upon us. The season’s change had come as a great relief to me, although I still waited for signs from Father that all was well. You see, it was the height of the Depression, and every day I knew was a challenge for him, a challenge to survive yet another year, and then a comfort to know that the summer had yielded good crops and the winter ahead would be one of contentment. That didn’t mean of course,
MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories that there wouldn’t be work to be done. The long winter months would be filled with chores, but there wouldn’t be days of worry about a drought that could wipe out the fields of grain, or endless rain equally as damaging. Winter would be a time of catching up on fixing broken-down stalls in the cow byre, hauling in wood from the bush, and
fixing harnesses, and mending aging machinery. But by the time the end of summer was upon us, I could see a change in Father. Although he talked little about it, I knew just by looking at him that his mind, for months, had been on survival. The summer months could make or break us, and I was old enough to sense uneasiness in Father at

the end of each day. His days during those summer months began before daybreak, as he strived to make use of every waking hour while the weather held. At night, as the darkness descended on us, I would watch Father go to the back door and look out at the sky, looking for any sign that the weather would change and we would be faced with torrential rain. Or he would look for clouds if we were going through a dry spell that threatened to rob us of grain to see us through another winter. It seemed to me, back then, that once the trees had turned, Father looked different, and he acted differently than he did on the days that had gone before us. He still went to the barns every night to check on the animals, but he no longer looked anxiously out at the night sky, trying to read what the next day would bring. I thought, back then, by the time the fall weather was ready to settle in, that his face didn’t show the weariness I saw nightly during the sum-
mer. He ate his supper more slowly, and I was quick to notice every page of the Ottawa Farm Journal was read, and he stayed longer in the old rocking chair by the Findlay Oval, as the darkness of the fall night closed in around us. And once he had taken one last trip out to the barns, instead of heading right for his bed, he lingered in the kitchen, lighting his pipe, and taking one last cup of green tea. And I would know. I would know without asking why this change in Father from one season to the next was taking place. The hay mow would be full, and there was no worry that we would not have enough hay to feed our animals over the long winter. Grain would be plentiful. The cows would be healthy and ready to give us milk for our own use, and to take to the creamery. That year, it had been a good season, one amongst few in those Depression years. With enough feed to care for our livestock until the next crop was ready, the cellar full
of vegetables and preserves, the meat house full, and barrels of salt pork and sauerkraut at the ready – we had survived another year. And when I sat at the old pine table, as darkness came to the kitchen, I would look over at Father in the rocking chair, and I would say my silent thanks, and I would know why his face no longer had that weary look, nor would his eyes be heavy from the lack of sleep. The time to worry was over. All that could be done to survive had been done. There was nothing left to do, but cherish the warmth of home, and give grateful thanks. That one year in those lean 1930’s, I knew in my very young heart, just looking at the change in Father, we had been blessed beyond measure. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

He made the announcement on Sept. 28 at his campaign office in Chinatown. Watson said the city’s transportation should be the main focal point of the Oct.27 election. Phase 2 of the light rail transit plan includes 19 new stops, stretching east past Tunney’s Pasture to Lincoln Fields, then splitting to continue to Baseline in one direction, and Bayshore in the other. His plan for south-bound transit includes adding stops at Gladstone, Walkley, South Keys, Leitrim and Bowes-

Bake in a 180 C (350 F) oven for one hour and 10 minutes or until a cake tester inserted in the centre comes out clean. Cool the pan on a rack for 15 minutes. Run the knife around the edge then turn out the cake onto a rack to cool completely before icing. The cake will keep well at room temperature for several days or freeze up to two months. Maple glaze: Place 125 ml (1/2 cup) of maple syrup in a medium bowl. Sift 625 ml (21/2 cups) of icing sugar. With an electric mixer, gradually beat the icing sugar into the maple syrup to make a thick, but pourable glaze. If it’s too thick, beat in 15 ml (1 tbsp) of milk. If it’s too thin, beat in more icing sugar. Drizzle the glaze over the cool cake and garnish with chopped nuts. Foodland Ontario

Bank Street development approval delayed Councillor wants builder to address parking concerns Laura Mueller
laura.mueller@metroland.com
News - A two-storey development in the Glebe was delayed after the community and city councillor demanded answers about parking at the site. A decision on a rezoning request for a retail building and plaza at 852 Bank St. was put off until an Oct. 2 meeting so the developer, Canderel, can work out the community’s parking concerns. There is currently a service station on the site. City planning staff supported the rezoning request relating to a patio, loading area and parking. Although the zoning would have required 40 to 60 parking stalls, Canderel doesn’t want to provide any parking on site, which the local merchants’ association and community group were worried about, said Capital Coun. David Chernushenko. Glebe Community Association planning committee member Carolyn Mackenzie said the group sees the delay as a potentially positive one, as she hopes it will improve the current plans
for the site. In preparation for the upcoming presentation from Canderel developments, Mackenzie said the community association, the Glebe’s Business Improvement Area and the councillor all worked together to speak against the current development plans. According to Mackenzie, the three agreed more parking was needed or a reasonable explanation of why it would not be technically feasible to build underground parking on the site and were prepared to speak to that at the city meeting. Planning committee chairman Coun. Peter Hume said he’d grill Canderel on why the building isn’t something “more substantial� during the next committee meeting. The developer is also rebuilding the Beer Store site nearby as a one-storey building, which Hume called “an absolute tragedy.�

Algonquin College students welcome new Learjet Former air ambulance to serve as learning tool for aircraft maintenance students Steph Willems

Students from Algonquin College’s aircraft maintenance program joined school officials and representatives from the Canada Aviation and Space Museum at Rockliffe Airport on Sept. 25, as the college took ownership of a donated Learjet 35.

News - It isn’t every day that the single-engine aircraft that frequent Rockliffe Airport share space with a jet, but that’s what arrived on Sept. 25. At 11 a.m., a Learjet 35 inbound from Pierre Elliott Trudeau Airport touched down on the short runway behind the Canada Aviation and Space Museum, marking the last flight of the former air ambulance. The 40-year-old aircraft won’t be serving as a museum display, rather, the airframe will help educate future aviation mechanics. Waiting on the tarmac to receive the jet were students from Algonquin College’s aviation techniquesaircraft maintenance program. Having the end of its service life, the Learjet is being donated to the school from Skyservice Air Ambulance of Dorval, Que., – a suburb of Montreal. The process of acquiring the aircraft took a year, but was well worth it, said Algonquin professor Mark Ward. “The solution and commitment was finally achieved about six weeks ago,” said Ward. “This airplane has hit the end of its useful life – all airplanes have a limit to how long they can fly - but there’s still a lot of value in the airplane even as it sits. There’s
a lot of parts that are still usable. Rather than strip it down to parts as other airplanes are done, they decided to donate it to the college as a charitable donation.” Ward’s students won’t get the full breadth of knowledge out of the plane until the program is expanded to a two-year format, which the college is in the process of developing. Once established, second-year students in the program will study everything from flight controls and related systems, to landing gear and hydraulic systems. This example of the popular business jet, dating from the early 1970s, features upgraded engines and capabilities that set it apart from the original Learjet model that first flew in the mid-1960s. Ward is confident the technology present in the college’s new airplane will be able to guide students for years, and decades, to come. “This will be used (at the college) for at least the next 30 years,” said Ward. “The Lears have been flying since the mid 1960s … they’re still building a modern version of this same airplane, and in all likelihood they’ll still be building them for another 20 or 30 years. The airplane itself may be old, but the technology and everything that went into it – is the benchmark in business aviation to this day.”

TD PLACE HOME OPENER CHEO sees upswing in children
with respiratory illnesses
BE PART OF OUR
Busy viral season prompts outbreak measures
WELCOMING PARTY!
Ottawa West News staff
News – The region’s children’s hospital is experiencing a spike in visits to its emergency room by children experiencing respiratory illness, prompting staff to put outbreak measures in place to curb the spread of infection. There have been no new confirmed cases of a serious respiratory virus infection, known as enterovirus D68, following the recent successful treatment of four children late last month.
However, three patients have come down with hospital-associated respiratory illnesses at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario. The hospital reports all three are doing well. The hospital last week reported 25 patients are being treated for respiratory illness. While multiple respiratory viruses are currently making the rounds in the community, which the hospital says is typical this time of year, visits to CHEO’s emergency department were up seven per cent this September over last year. “About one-quarter of visits to CHEO’s emergency department currently are for respiratory infections, compared to 16 per cent last year,” Eva Schacherl, hospital spokeswoman, said in a statement released Sept. 24. The hospital is taking extra
precautions in one of its medical units to combat the spread of respiratory infections. “Every year in viral season, you can expect hospitals to put measures in place in different units at different times to help prevent the spread of infection,” Schacherl said. “CHEO takes infection prevention and control very seriously, and staff members are extremely vigilant with precautions to prevent the spread of respiratory and other infections among its vulnerable inpatients.” Extra measures range from restricting visitors to 4 East inpatient medical unit, limiting staff movement between different hospital units and increasing cleaning resources for rooms and equipment, among others. Suggestions also include staying home when sick and frequently disinfecting surfaces, such as doorknobs and toys.

Museum to take financial hit with prolonged closure Erin McCracken
erin.mccracken@metroland.com
DK A E R CLIC
News - January is the earliest the beleaguered Canada Science and Technology Museum could reopen its doors, despite initial hopes by officials to have it back up and running within weeks following the discovery of mould. The facility will suffer a financial blow since it will be forced to remain closed over the Christmas holidays, when it draws thousands of visitors, making it one of the busiest seasons for the museum. Officials initially hoped to be back up and running again within weeks of the Sept. 11 discovery of high levels of airborne mould due to water leaking in from the roof. “On top of having costs to fix the situation, we’re also going to have a significant revenue shortfall if we can’t be open during the holidays,” said museum spokesman Olivier Bouffard. Visitor admissions, memberships, corporate rentals, group bookings, and parking fees generate about 21 per cent of the annual operating budget for the Canada Science Technology Museums Corporation, which manages the Canada Science and Technology Museum, the Canada Agriculture and Food Museum and the

Greg Esnard, Regional Director Distribution East, presented Kim with the prize.
Aviation and Space Museum. The bulk of the budget is funded by the federal government. The corporation received $28.6 million for the 2012-13 fiscal year, representing 79 per cent of total revenues, Bouffard said. “The repairs right now, we don’t have a cost for it yet so we don’t know where we’re going to take the money,” he said. Specialized contractors have been brought in to develop a work plan to fix the mould problem – a process that has been painstaking given the care needed to work safely around a roof loaded with asbestos, which was discovered last October and subsequently sealed off. Initially, it was thought the museum would remain shuttered for several weeks while repairs were made. “What makes this job particularly complex, and why it’s taking us awhile to be able to say how long this work is going to take, is that we have to fix a mould problem in a wall that supports a roof that has asbestos in it,” Bouffard said. The museum’s problems have sparked interest in creating a new dedicated site at Lebreton Flats, but Bouffard shot down the idea. “That’s outside speculation from our standpoint because
the corporation doesn’t have a plan to move or relocate at this point. What we’re looking at is fixing the problem in order to welcome visitors as soon as possible.” Factor in the museum’s outdoor landmarks such as a lighthouse, a rocket and the Helen Sawyer Hogg Observatory, which houses one of the largest refractor telescopes in Canada “and I don’t think we’ll be sneaking out without anybody noticing,” Bouffard said. “At this point (moving elsewhere) is just not on the table or in the cards for us, as far as we know.” Meanwhile, about 60 staff members have been relocated to the Space and Aviation Museum and the Food and Agriculture Museum, as well as the corporation’s administration building on Lancaster Road, across the street from the shuttered museum. They were initially evacuated from the premises on Sept. 11 after air-quality tests detected high levels of airborne mould during the week the facility was closed for week-long annual maintenance. “There are currently no layoffs. Everyone is being reassigned and redeployed through the corporation,” Bouffard said. “That’s a bit of a silver lining of being three museums together.”

McCann clubhouse gets needed boost to start renovations Michelle Nash
michelle.nash@metroland.com
News - The days of the aging east-end Boys and Girls clubhouse are numbered. Thanks to recent funding from the Ontario government, the renovations for the McCann Clubhouse on McArthur Road will be able to take place as early as midOctober. The $315,000 contribution, received on Sept. 23 from the Ministry of Children and Youth Services, was the last piece of the fundraising initiative for the club, which launched the fundraising effort for much needed renovations in the fall of Nov. 2012, looking for $2 million to upgrade the circa 1970 structure -- updating its ventilation system and generally improving the facility’s usefulness. At the time, the clubhouse already had a $222,000 provincial grant, and another $1 million federal grant applied for, but needed to raise the remaining $800,000.

The Boys and Girls McCann Clubhouse received a $315,000 donation from the Ontario government on Sept. 23 to help cover the costs of a $2.9 million renovation. The current total cost of the renovations is $2.9 million. Since the launch of the campaign, executive director Colleen Mooney said the club has been reaching out to donors, receiving a total of $222,000 from the city,
Ottawa West News - Thursday, October 2, 2014
$100,000 from the Jays Care Foundation as well as a large amount from private donors, all that remained was the $315,000 the province has now fulfilled. “We are so grateful,” Mooney said. “It’s long over-
due for both the staff and members who have had to work in the building. Right now it’s not ideal and it will be great to see the building renovated finally.” Ottawa-Vanier MPP Madeleine Meilleur, who helped connect the club with the ministry to receive the donation, said the clubhouse is an important organization in the community. ‘’After-school and weekend hours are a critical times for youth,” Meilleur said. “This funding will help us to reach targets set out in Ontario’s youth opportunities strategy as it enables the staff and volunteers at the McCann Clubhouse to continue to make this time an opportunity to learn and grow.” The renovations will update both the heating and cooling systems, which Mooney said has led the clubhouse to close in the winter because it’s been too cold as well as close in the summer because it’s been too hot.
Regulating the temperature will be a huge step up for the clubhouse, she added. The remainder of the funding will turn a currently closed-off pool into an indoor turf field for both soccer and ultimate Frisbee games. Without even constructing an addition to the building, converting the pool into a field will add 30 per cent useable space to the building, Mooney said. The clubhouse will also be creating a music room and a renovated kitchen. The clubhouse is looking forward to holding more cooking classes for its young members once the building is reopened. During renovations, everyone must move out, which Mooney said is integral for the work to be able to be completed quickly. Staff and club members need not travel far, however. The Ottawa Technical Secondary School, located on Donald Street and backing on to the clubhouse’s property, will be offering space during
the closure. “No programming will have to stop,” Mooney said. “It will make the renovations go that much faster and we will have the same amount of space.” The school’s gym, kitchen and some classrooms will be made available for the children. Mooney said the clubhouse is a popular one, with a 14 per cent increase in visits in the past year and 19 per cent increase in memberships. The construction application has already been sent to the city, Mooney said, and if all goes well, construction will begin mid-October, with a completion date aimed to be at the end of spring, before the summer. The McCann Clubhouse is used by the Boys and Girls Club of Ottawa on a 99year lease. The clubhouse serves both the Vanier and Overbrook community and runs after-school and weekend programs for nearly 1,100 young people per year.

News - A newly created committee in the Glebe is aimed at creating a positive relationship with everything going on at Lansdowne Park. A sub-committee of the Glebe Community Association, the Lansdowne Park committee was created last spring in an effort for the association to create and maintain a strong relationship with everything taking place at Lansdowne Park. “I think it’s really important to have a connection with the city and Lansdowne on this,” Ken Slemko, the committee’s chairman said. “We have a superb traffic committee to deal with the outside of Lansdowne, but this committee will deal with the internals of the park.” The result so far is a committee comprised of Slemko and a few other Glebe residents. Slemko said he is looking for more members to join the small group. Interested residents can contact Slemko at gca@glebeca.ca. In an update at the association’s Sept. 23 meeting, SlemR0012921995

Video screen may have contributed to bus crash, safety board says Driver was looking at monitor seconds before deadly Barrhaven collision Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com
News - The Transportation Safety Board is sounding the alarm, offering new information about a video screen that may have distracted the driver of a bus that collided with a train, killing six people in Barrhaven last year. The investigation into the Sept. 18,
2013 crash isn’t complete, said lead investigator Robert Johnston on Sept. 24, but the safety board is suggesting OC Transpo review whether the video displays on Ottawa’s 75 double-decker buses – which can be viewed while the bus is in motion – can be locked so they do not display video when the bus is moving. The TSB also said OC Transpo should look at whether video screens can be located “as close as practicable to the driver’s forward line of sight,” instead of above and to the left of the operator.

Construction trailers to stay in the Wedge Planning committee OKs temporary zoning to allow parking on St. Andrew Street lot Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com
News - Despite raising concerns that a vacant lot in Lowertown has been used for illegal parking for decades, planning committee members agreed to make that use legal for up to three years. The temporary zoning amendment was made to al-
low developer Claridge to park construction vehicles on the site at 281 St. Andrew St., which is has been doing since March as it builds its Water Street condos nearby. Although records show homes on the lot were demolished in 1977 and 1979 and it has largely been used for parking since, the impromptu parking lot didn’t bother neighbours
OVER
until large and noisy construction vehicles began using it. Robert Massel made the original complaint and was frustrated that he was told the vehicles would be removed, only to be told later that the city was temporarily not enforcing the zoning bylaw there while Claridge and the property’s owner filed for the temporary amendment.
Jim Burghout of Claridge said the company didn’t realize the lot couldn’t be used for parking because it had served that purpose for a long time before Claridge asked to rent the lot. City staff members said they couldn’t find evidence that the parking was established as what’s called a “legal non-conforming use” on the lot. “(This issue) has only been
brought to everyone’s attention due to our use,” he said. “Frankly, it’s never come up before,” he said. “It’s a section of the bylaw, most of us in the industry would have been aware of ... There was already a parking lot there.” The only other option would have been for Claridge to ask the city for permission to encroach onto the street and block
traffic and parking where the condos are being built, Burghout said. Reducing the traffic impacts was a rationale city staff agreed with in the report to planning committee supporting the temporary rezoning. The construction trailers will be allowed to park on the lot until the condo construction is complete – up to three years. The construction trailers will have to be set at least 1.2 metres away from neighbouring properties and the zoning includes provisions to “achieve better interim conditions for the lands through increased landscaping.”

Measures needed to monitor bus speeds: TSB Continued from page 31
charts from the certification tests for a loaded bus, as well as charts provided by the bus manufacturer. When it collided with the Via Rail train, the bus was travelling between 6.4 and 7.7 km/h, the TSB said. If the bus had been travelling at the 60 km/h speed limit and all other factors were the same, it would have stopped 6.1 metres before the point of collision, Johnston said. The city has since lowered the bus speed limit to 50 km/h on that section of the Transitway. Johnston said determining how much force the bus driver was applying to the brakes will be one of the next steps in the investigation. Deputy city manager Steve Kanellakos said changes to the video monitors are just one of the items OC Transpo will review after receiving the two new safety advisory letters from the TSB on Sept. 24. The transit agency will also look at: • Operating procedures and training related to ensuring passengers are seated on double-decker buses. • Ergonomic factors and driver workload, especially at rail crossings. • Transitway speed enforcement. • Better signs alerting passengers to sit down on the upper level of the buses.
• 8:47:23 – A passenger accessed the upper deck of the double-decker bus and remained standing while holding onto a pole at the top of the stairs. • 8:47:27 – The bus departed Fallowfield Station. • 8:47:57 – While the bus was travelling towards the rail crossing, the driver looked upwards and to the left towards the video monitor, likely noticing the passenger standing on the upper deck. • 8:47:59 – The bus passed the point at which the red flashing lights at the Transitway rail crossing come into full view, 121 metres south of the stop line. • 8:48:01 – The driver continued to monitor the video screen, glancing towards it intermittently while looking towards the road ahead. • 8:48:02 – Passengers began to yell at the driver to stop the bus, with the bus travelling 67.7 km/h and the gas pedal applied. • 8:48:03 – The bus driver began to apply the brakes. • 8:48:06 – Continuing to brake, the bus collided with the south side of the train at 7.7 km/h. The train was also braking and was travelling 75.6 km/h.
The signs should be in place shortly, Manconi said. Currently, doubledecker buses feature two stickers at the base and top of the stairwell alerting passengers to sit down when they reach the upper deck, but there are no signs on the second level reminding them of the requirement to sit. Changes to speed enforcement are also already underway, Manconi said. OC Transpo special constables conduct traffic enforcement on the Transitway because it is a private road, Manconi said, and a two-person dedicated radar speed enforcement unit will patrol the Transitway, focus-
ing on the area near the rail tracks at Fallowfield. A number of operators have been disciplined for speeding since the crash, Manconi said. The approach is one of “progressive discipline,” he said, including suspensions, coaching and other measures. “It’s not permitted to speed,” Manconi said. “That’s the clear message.” There is a form operators can fill out if they feel the schedule doesn’t allow enough time for the driver to navigate the route at the posted speed limit, or if the schedule provides too much time, Manconi said.
0904.R0012873375
The board also suggests certain in-vehicle systems be disabled unless the bus is parked. Later that day, OC Transpo general manager John Manconi told reporters it’s too soon for the city to react in a “knee-jerk manner,” to the TSB’s suggestions, but calls have already been made to the bus manufacturer to begin discussions on options for altering the video monitors. The recommendations come after the TSB’s analysis of various sources of information, including interview with 60 passengers who were on the bus, revealed the driver, Dave Woodard, was glancing up at the video monitor five seconds before the crash. OC Transpo instructs drivers not to stare at the screens while driving, as the monitors are supposed to be used for the driver to ensure all passengers on the upper floor are seated before the bus starts moving. But witnesses said one passenger was still standing upstairs just before the crash, Johnston said. The upper deck was close to full, he said. “We’ve correlated a sequence of events from various sources,” Johnston said. “We’ve done this through painstaking analysis and we’ve gone
over and over and over it.” He said a team of 15 investigators looked at when braking was initiated and used data from the locomotive event recorder, crossing signal downloads, closed-circuit video from Fallowfield Station, the bus engine control module and interviews with around 60 bus passengers, next-ofkin and witnesses to work backwards and construct the 39-second timeline leading up to the crash. “Based on sorting through all that information, that is a relatively accurate timeline to the best of our ability,” Johnston said. The bus – a one-year-old Enviro 500 double-decker designed and manufactured by Alexander Dennis Limited in the United Kingdom – met all safety standards and nothing was mechanically wrong with it or its brakes, the TSB said. Woodard did not have a medical illness at the time of the crash and a toxicology report showed no drugs or alcohol in his system. The TSB is also recommending the city look at adding more measures to monitor and control bus speeds, since the bus was travelling at 67.6 kilometres per hour in a 60 km/h zone before the crash, based on data from the bus engine module and braking

News - Hospice Care Ottawa is looking to expand its services and potentially open another hospice in the city’s east end. But any future expansion will have to wait until after
construction on the RuddyShenkman Hospice in Kanata is finished, said the organization’s executive director Lisa Sullivan during the organization’s annual general meeting at the Ruddy-Shenkman Hospice on Sept. 22. “Likely that will be some community-based services,
but there is certainly interest, from a number of partners, after we are finished with the west end, to look at a site in the east end.” In the coming year, Hospice Care Ottawa will also be looking at increasing its capacity to offer services in French as well as English,

The City operates two WPPs to supply drinking water to the city—the Lemieux Island WPP (capacity of 400 ML/d; built in 1931) and the Britannia WPP (capacity of 360 ML/d; built in 1961). The source water for both plants is the Ottawa River. The two plants serve 825,000 people, with the Lemieux Island WPP supplying roughly half of the water consumed.
said Sullivan. “That is an important step in our growth in the next year,” she said. Hundreds of community members, volunteers and hospice workers came out for the Sept. 22 open house and annual general meeting. The newly refinished and furnished interior of the hospice was filled with visitors, with about 370 people attending the event, said Sullivan. “We were just thrilled that so many people came through,” she said, adding that the event was a chance to show off the work that has been done at the former church site on 110 McCurdy Dr., and to let people know what is planned for Hospice Care Ottawa. The annual general meeting gave attendees a look into
the organization’s financials, showing that Hospice Care Ottawa is currently on budget, though she added funding is never a done deal. “It’s always a concern financially, because we are only funded at about 55 per cent,” she said, meaning fundraising has to make up for the remaining 45 per cent. “If we continue the way we are now with our fundraising activities, we will be able to meet our operating budget,” said Sullivan. The majority of Hospice Care Ottawa’s donations from their past fiscal year came from individuals at $263,862, followed by in memoriam donations. Apart from fundraising for the organization’s operations, Hospice Care Ottawa has also been fundraising for the Rud-
dy-Shenkman Hospice’s livein building, providing muchneeded beds for those unable to remain home as they approach their final days. Hospice Care Ottawa’s capital campaign, run in partnership with the Bruyère Foundation, has raised $4.6 million of its $6.2 million goal. Sullivan said Hospice Care Ottawa hopes that, with one last push, construction can start soon. “That will be significant for the Kanata community if we can make that final push with that campaign, because then we can start building in 2015,” she said. “That’s our goal.” In the coming year, the organization is hoping to increase its day hospice programs, which would allow those reaching the end of their lives to stay home as long as possible.
In the past, the City has had issues at the Lemieux Island WPP, with frazil ice buildup at the intake piping. Frazil ice forms in open, turbulent, supercooled water which is typical of the river conditions near the plant intake. Because of the relatively shallow depth of water above the intake piping, frazil ice builds up below the ice surface and interferes with the flow entering the plant. This frazil ice can block the intake pipe and associated screening, resulting in unplanned WPP shutdowns or significantly restricted plant flows, which puts the water supply at risk. The City is currently investigating solutions for improving the intake to mitigate the impacts of frazil ice on the WPP. This could involve the extension of the existing intake further into the river to locate the piping in deeper water. This study is being conducted in accordance with the requirements for Phases 1 and 2 of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (2000, amended 2004, 2007 and 2011). Phase 1 involves identification of the problem or opportunity to be addressed by the project. Phase 2 involves development and evaluation of alternatives to address the problem or opportunity. The final deliverable for this project will be an environmental assessment report outlining the preferred alternative for modifying the inlet structure to prevent restrictions to the plant intake due to frazil ice. This report will be filed and available for public review for a period of 30 days upon completion. Stakeholder (public and agency) consultation is a key element of the Class EA process. One Public Information Centre (PIC) is planned for this project (with an advertised notice also provided prior to the session), and project information will be available on the City of Ottawa website, ottawa.ca. A notice of completion will be issued upon close of the project. A mailing list for notification of project activities and the PIC is now being compiled.

Old Ottawa South resident wins award from NASA Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com
News - Local engineers were recently recognized internationally for making future air passengers safer. Mike Benner, a team leader (propulsion) at the National Research Council is a Fallingbrook resident, who received a prestigious award from America’s space agency, NASA. He was accompanied by another Ottawa resident, Craig Davison, who lives in Old Ottawa South and is a research officer at the NRC. The two were part of a larger group who were awarded the United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s group achievement award in Ohio on Sept. 12. They were awarded the honour for developing an instrument which measures ice content in clouds at high altitudes. Clouds are made up of liquid droplets, but at higher altitudes,

Charlie Landreville, left, Mike Benner and Craig Davison with their iso-kinetic probe technology. It measures the amount of ice crystals in clouds, which can affect airplane engines. they freeze into ice crystals in the clouds. The probe was put to the test in an early 2014 flight campaign
in Australia. The data is important because certain engine types don’t perform as well in clouds with
a higher ice concentration; there currently aren’t certification rules for engine performance passing through ice crystal clouds. “In the past 10 or 15 years, they’ve found certain engine types don’t do particularly well when they’re flying through clouds made up of ice crystals,” Benner said. “Typically when an aircraft engine is certified to be used for transporting people, those engines have to be certified to operate safely in clouds. (But) that’s when the clouds are made up of liquid water droplets.” Benner said he expects future regulations to certify engine performance in altitudes with ice crystals in clouds. The project Benner and Davison worked on provides a way to collect data and research in those clouds.The team designed, fabricated, tested, delivered and operated the device to do the research, called an iso-kinetic probe. Davison said it will be used on research aircrafts; regulatory agencies like Transportation Canada can then use the data collected. The iso-kinetic probe work isn’t done yet. Benner and Davison are still working on another probe that will be able to undergo wind tunnel testing.

Speaker series aims to boost numbers at Glebe committee First meeting to discuss the importance of bees for environment Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com
News - The Glebe Community Association’s environment committee will be doing something a little different this year. In an effort to gain new members and interest from
the community, the committee will host a series of talks this year. Dubbed Public Talk, the monthly event will take a look at provincial, national or global environment concerns and focus on what residents can do locally concerning the issue.
Environment committee member Angela Keller-Herzog said this is the committee’s way of livening up the meetings. “We want more members,” Keller-Herzog said. The events will all have a local hook, Keller-Herzog added; explaining it’s the
committee’s way to tackle major environment concerns locally. First up is a look at bees on Oct. 8 – the Vanishing of bees and pollinators in Canada, will discuss what local and municipal residents can respond and make a difference in their own neighbourhood.
Presented by Beatrice Olivastri from the Friends of the Earth Canada, the speaker series will begin at 7:30 p.m. and run until 9 p.m. Regular committee business will take place from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. The group meets at the Glebe Community Centre, in
the Pantry Room. Keller-Herzog said the group is still working on what the topics of each monthly meeting will be, but interested residents can email the group at environment@glebeca.ca for more information about the committee and the upcoming speaker series.

Osgoode fuel spill clean-up continues into fall emma.jackson@metroland.com
News - Traffic is back to two lanes on River Road north of Osgoode, but residents still face a few months of construction before a fuel spill is completely cleaned up. A truck belonging to Drummond Fuels Ottawa spilled about 2,000 litres of gasoline on a city-owned right of way on March 7, according to the provincial Ministry of Environment. The spilled gasoline was removed from the scene, and didn’t impact the nearby Rideau River or private well users, said ministry spokesperson Kate Jordan. Now, nearly seven months later, remediation is still ongoing – and will continue well into the fall. Basil Plebon, environmental supervisor for Triangle Pump Services in charge of the on-site work, said his team started digging up the ground across from Kelly’s Landing

Contractors work to clean up a fuel spill along River Road near Kelly’s Landing in mid-September. restaurant on Aug. 29. “I’m figuring about eight to 10 weeks more,” Plebon said. River Road was down to
one lane for several weeks this summer, but mid-September it was opened up to two lanes again.
Plebon said there are no guarantees that the road section won’t be reduced to one lane again before they’re done. “Anything is possible. If there’s something we have to do and we have to do it safe, that’s our problem,” Plebon said. Drummond Fuels staffer Russell Drummond, who identifies himself simply as “one of the workers at the company,” was mum on the specifics of the spill, but he said the company is well on its way to mopping up the mess. “It’s being cleaned up by professionals and we’re hopefully going to get things done up in the next little while,” Drummond said. “We’re doing our best.” Drummond is required to report its progress to the Ministry of the Environment and the city. Rich Barker with the city’s environmental remediation team said spills like this can take time to clean up be-
cause a public roadway is affected. “It can be fast for residential (properties), but when you’re trying to fix underneath the road with cars on it, it can be difficult,” Barker said. Jordan said monitoring wells have been in-
stalled in the area as a precaution to help identify potential groundwater issues. The ministry “expect(s) to see the first results from the monitoring work in the coming months as well as a final remediation report from the company,” she said.

Your gift keeps on giving. Forever.
Legacy Gift will generate $42.2 MILLION for CHEO over next 100 years Weldon Cochrane was an Ottawa chartered accountant and partner with the accounting firm of Coopers and Lybrand (now PriceWaterhouseCoopers) and was also the Treasurer on the CHEO Foundation Board. Mr. Cochrane had an appreciation for the importance of leaving a legacy and understood how to make an impact when he decided to made a gift in his Will to CHEO. He left the residual of his estate with instructions for it to be endowed; meaning that the capital would be preserved in perpetuity and the annual interest would be used to fund the important work at CHEO. When Mr. Cochrane died in 1985 the CHEO Foundation received $540,000
from his estate and established the Weldon Cochrane Endowment Fund as directed in his Will. Much has happened and changed at CHEO since his death and in that time his legacy gift has grown to $4.6 million.

As CHEO marks its 40th anniversary this year, we look back and honour not only those in our community who made our local children’s hospital a reality, but also donors like Mr. Cochrane who made children a priority. Why not honour what is most important to you during your lifetime The impact of Mr. Cochrane’s generous gift is probably beyond what by considering a gift in Will to CHEO.

Church opens labyrinth for parishioners, community Winding path offers therapeutic benefits Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com
News - Within weeks of its installation, a labyrinth is already bringing peace of mind to those who walk the circular stone path in the front courtyard of an Anglican church in the Elmvale Acres community. Parishioners of St. Aidan’s Anglican Church didn’t just initiate the project to mark the church’s 50th anniversary this year or to only serve the congregation. The labyrinth was also created for the greater community, said Peter Martin, a Blackburn Hamlet resident and longtime member of and volunteer with the church. “What we want to do is do
it for the community as opposed to drawing people in to our church,” he said. “We want to open it up and make it available to anybody in this area.” Residents are encouraged to try walking the stone pathway before the first snowfall, he added. The idea to build the circular, winding pathway within the front walkway at the church, located at 934 Hamlet Rd., took root in March after a handful of people from St. Aidan’s took part in a workshop on labyrinths at St. Stephen’s Anglican Church in Nepean. The participants came away with a deeper understanding of the spiritual and therapeutic benefits of labyrinths, as well as insight into their history, thanks to Beverly Chen, a certified labyrinth facilitator who delivered the workshop.

“And so we came back and said, ‘Well, look at that space. Why don’t we put a labyrinth in there?’” Martin said of St. Aidan’s deteriorating front walk, which needed to be repaired. Church volunteers had already set aside some fundraising dollars and also received financial support in the form of a grant from the Anglican Diocese. The funds allowed church volunteers to cover the labyrinth’s $6,000 price tag. “And in the space of four months it was finished.” Martin said of the light grey stone pathway. St. Aidan’s christened the labyrinth on Sept. 14, a day after Chen, the labyrinth facilitator, delivered another workshop – this time at the Elmvale Acres church. Many participants found the session very moving, as well as educational, said

Peter Martin walks a labyrinth that was recently installed in the walkway at the front of St. Aidan’s Anglican Church in the Elmvale Acres neighbourhood. Martin. They learned labyrinths provide a single path that is safe and offers deeper healing, he said, adding that they are also designed to serve as a place of prayer and meditation, as well as serve as a spiritual oasis. The labyrinth is not a maze; there are no wrong turns or dead ends, Martin
said referring to information he learned from Chen. Those who walk the circular path are encouraged to go with an open mind and heart, he said, adding that the labyrinth’s roots can be traced back 4,000 years. Designed to encourage relaxation, renewal and connection, some parishioners have already felt a differ-
ence after walking along the winding pathway, and say it helped them clear their mind and bring them peace. They are also said to have healing properties and foster a mind-body connection, peace and empowerment. “It’s something different,” Martin said. “There has been such positive reaction to it, it’s just really phenomenal.”

Ottawa West News - Thursday, October 2, 2014
Ottawa students learn from an incredible journey Monarch butterflies released after year of record population lows Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com
Community - Students from Glen Cairn Public School’s monarch butterfly program sent their orange friends off on a nearly 4,00- kilometre journey to Mexico on Sept. 19. Students from other classes crowded around their butterfly-savvy peers to check out the monarchs before they warmed their wings and flew into the air during what was the school’s ninth monarch butterfly release in 10 years, said Shelley MacWhirter, the teacher who introduced and continues to run the school’s monarch program. Each year, students can participate in the beginningof-the-year project and learn about the monarchs as they grow from caterpillars to chrysalises and finally into butterflies.
The monarchs are then released to begin the nearly 4,000-kilometre to Mexico, in time for the Day of the Dead either in late October or early November. The program has proven hugely successful, said MacWhirter, with teachers able to discuss geography, history, math, language arts and science all in relation to the butterflies. Perhaps the butterflies’ most amazing story is their migration to Mexico, where they gather in massive colonies, she said. The monarchs’ total population ranges in the tens of millions. The butterflies have been making their southern trip for so long that their migration has been interwoven into Mexican culture, said MacWhirter. In the Mexican Day of the Dead celebrations, the monarchs

But the program goes beyond learning facts and history, she said. Students who normally wouldn’t participate in extracurricular activities often find themselves taking part
in the butterfly class, gaining confidence and becoming experts in the eyes of their peers, she said. “It just really brings some students out of their shells sometimes, and that’s why I love (the butterfly program) so much,” said MacWhirter. Grade 8 student Devan Burns said he didn’t think the butterfly program was something he would want to take part in. But now says he cherishes the experience. “Getting to do this was really amazing,” said Burns. Learning how to feed the butterflies was a particularly cool experience, he said. “Under (a butterflies’) chin area, they have a little thing called a proboscis,” said Burns. “That is what they use to eat, and, it would be weird if it was the same for us, but they taste with their feet, so when you’ve got to feed them, we take their feet, we put them in the sugar water and then we take a paper clip to pull the proboscis down into the water, and then they will start eating.”
Releasing the butterflies on Sept. 19 was another high point in the experience, he said. Due to the cool morning, the butterflies did not fly away immediately, but waited to warm their wings in the morning sunlight. The butterfly program students helped the monarchs by placing them on their heads, on their hands and even on their noises, sharing body heat and showing the butterflies off to their peers. “Everyone was just like, ‘Whoah, that is so cool!’ … It was really fun to do,” said Burns. The school’s program was particularly poignant this year, as 2013 had the smallest monarch population in Mexico in decades, perhaps since the population began being tracked in the 1970s, said MacWhirter. This year showed a marked increase, she said. Glen Cairn Public School’s 12 butterflies will contribute to the millions on their way to Mexico.

DECORATING WITH LEATHER FURNISHINGS Did you know that over half the furniture sold worldwide today is covered in leather? Leather furnishings are considered by many to be romantic, extravagant, sophisticated, long lasting, and very comfortable. All these wonderful reasons make leather-upholstered items a perfect choice for many of todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s consumers. Leather for home furnishings products comes from around the world. A majority of hides are produced in Europe - particularly Italy - and South America. Leather is not limited to sofa and chair coverings, but can also be incorporated into design accessories such as leather framed mirrors, picture frames, lamps, lampshades, area rugs and even window treatments! Before leather covering can be utilized as upholstery for home furnishings and accessories, hides are subjected to a judging and dying process. Once leather
hides arrive at a tannery for processing, they are handsorted based on quality. The hides with the fewest imperfections are cut into layers. The top layer, called â&#x20AC;&#x153;topâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;fullâ&#x20AC;? grain, is the highest quality layer, and is also the layer of the hide that lies closest to the animal. The second and third layers are called â&#x20AC;&#x153;splitsâ&#x20AC;? and can also be used for covering furniture. This is often the grade of leather used in promotional furniture. Once the hides are sorted and cut into layers, the leather is colored by using one of three dyeing methods. The highest quality layers of leather are coloured using a translucent, pure aniline dye. This dye process renders beautiful colour variations in the leather. Since this process is used on unďŹ nished, top-quality leather, the ďŹ nished product usually has a softer feel. Another colouring process, also used on top-grain hides, is
a surface ďŹ nish application, called semi-aniline. This method produces a uniform colour look. A third colouring procedure, called pigmented, coats the leather surface uniformly with an opaque colour. This durable process covers most imperfections in the leather, and is very commonly used.

Palmo Pasqua is our third weekly winner for the September 12th prize draw of a new Napoleon Barbeque from Capital Appliance & BBQ.
Since the purchase of leather furniture for your home can be a long lasting investment, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important that you make a wise decision about what type of leather furniture will work best for you and your dĂŠcor, and ultimately give you the look and feel that you desire. And what better way to make that investment than to work with a professional and knowledgeable decorator like Claudette of Decorating Den Interiors http://www. decoratingden.com/in Ottawa? claudette@decoratingden.com Business: 613-722-8786 Cell: 613-558-4110

Residents invited to shop for candidates at River Ward job fair Council, trustee candidates to take centre stage at Hunt Club event erin.mccracken@metroland.com
News - Eligible voters in River Ward who are still shopping for their preferred council or school-board trustee candidates are invited to a job fair being held in advance of the upcoming municipal election. More than a dozen of the 19 candidates in the ward have confirmed their participation in a public information session hosted by the Hunt Club Community Organization and the Riverside Park Community and Recreation Association on Oct. 8 at the Hunt Club-Riverside Park Community Centre. The format, which the Hunt Club residents group first used ahead of the 2010 municipal election, is unique, said longtime organization president John Sankey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gotten an astonishing number of compliments for it and now weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the only ones doing it,â&#x20AC;? he said. Last time, the event included mayoral candidates, while this year organizers are focusing solely on council and trustee hopefuls. As well, the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s neighbouring residentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s association, the Riverside Park Community and Recreation Association, is also onboard and helping promote the event. Both associations represent more than 20,000 residents of River Ward. To help people choose a potential candidate to represent them, attendees will be given a guide that suggests what qualities to look for that could help them make a decision on voting day. Sankey said the message of the guide suggests judging people, not issues. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Issues come and go but people stay,â&#x20AC;? he said, adding that no promise made by any candidate for office is legal one second after they are elected. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no point in talking about issues, as far as Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m concerned,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They can say anything they like â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter. If we judge people, that matters.â&#x20AC;?
Hope. 1-800-267-WISH www.childrenswish.ca
The guide, provided by the Hunt Club Community Organization, suggests residents gauge whether candidates realize the level of commitment that comes with the job of representing constituents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 24/7, 365,â&#x20AC;? Sankey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do they realize it? Most people think a councillorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s job is a joke.â&#x20AC;? In chatting with candidates at the upcoming job fair, voters can also get a sense of whether they feel they are being listened to, he said. In choosing a school-board trustee, Sankey recommends residents ask candidates whether they have children in the system, and how they would balance the competing needs

The Hunt Club organization has been advocating on several issues, including improving traffic flow along Riverside Drive and Hunt Club Road, improving transit access between the Hunt Club community and the rest of the city, as well as ensuring parks and green spaces are cared for.

John Mlacak, one of Kanata’s founding fathers, dies at 78 Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com
News - One of Kanata’s strongest advocates and long-time residents, John Mlacak, died on Sept. 19 at the age of 78. Mlacak, known for his bright landscape oil paintings, his community activism and his political career as reeve of the former March township, had been experiencing health problems for years, said his widow, Beth Mlacak. He passed away at home, she said. “This is the busy time,” said Beth while sitting in her home, the same one she and John purchased in 1964 before it was even built, surrounded by her husband’s paintings. “Everybody is here, and there is lots to do and things to arrange. “It’s later on, you know, that it really settles in,” she said. Neighbours and friends in the community are a comfort, said Beth. Many of them shared in his passion for creating a garden city, and many still live in the community he was integral in creating. Mlacak was one of the first residents of and converts to Bill Teron’s idea of a garden city called Kanata.

John Mlacak, a major community presence and advocate for Kanata, pictured above, died on Sept. 19 at the age of 78. Leaving Kingston, the Mlacaks came looking for a home in Ottawa, and after reading about the concept of a community where “the houses would be subservient to the landscape,” the couple settled on a house in what is now Beaverbrook, said Beth. “We bought the house right then and there, though there was no house to see, and no plans,” she said.
Finding himself on the ground floor of a brand new community with some very different ideas, Mlacak quickly got involved. Teron would call community meetings, asking for residents to help out with tree planting or creating pathways, and Mlacak would pitch in. He was soon asked to be a member of a committee with March township

(which used to encompass the northern part of Kanata), and was elected chair, and then in 1965 he ran for councillor and won. Two years later, when he was campaigning for re-election, he was chastised for setting his sights too low. “He’s running for council, and that’s really stupid because he should be running for reeve,” Beth recalls a neighbour saying in the middle of a party. By the end of the night, Mlacak was running for reeve, and won by 23 votes, said Beth. That began his nineyear career in March township’s top job. “He was not a politically ambitious man at all, but he was part of this new town,” she said, and felt he needed to be a part of the decisions being made. That included implementing Teron’s vision. “We worked in tandem for the dream,” said Teron. “He believed in it, I believed in it, and we just worked together, and he was just absolutely marvelous. “Without him, Kanata would not have been implemented … He will be truly missed.” “I would say (the community) meant, next to his family, probably
everything,” said Beth. “He wanted it to succeed and a lot of what he sees in Beaverbrook … he thinks it succeeded.” Though he was certainly not a fan of the recent intensification and planned development near Beaverbrook and elsewhere in Kanata, said Beth. As recent as this past summer, Mlacak continued to attend development meetings at City Hall and push against the developments he did not agree with, said Beth. “He had been very perturbed and had limped down to city hall to tell them what he thought, that they have an official plan, and why don’t they use it?” said Beth. Mlacak’s idea of what the garden city concept should be came out not just at city hall meetings, but in his art too, said Marianne Wilkinson, Mlacak’s successor as reeve of the March township and now Coun. for Kanata North. “He put his love of nature and the community into his paintings,” said Wilkinson. “It really ties together the idea of the new community as a garden city.” See REMEMBERED, page 53

Remembered as willing mentor in community Continued from page 52
During and after his political work, Mlacak began his painting career, helping to start the Kanata Civic Art Gallery, and participating in many other groups. “He started taking classes … mostly in water colour,” said Beth. “Then he would promptly come home and do oil (paintings),” she said with a laugh. “I used to ask him why he did that, and he would say, ‘I would like to be able to learn how to do watercolours, but I like the soft, buttery feel of oils, and if you don’t like something you can change it. With watercolours, you’ve got to get it right.’” “He really enjoyed painting outdoors,” said his son, Bill. “He enjoyed traveling with groups of painters and doing en plein air painting, and he enjoyed having lots of art around him. We all have lots of art around us as a result.” “His art expresses everything about him,” said Wendy Landon, a longtime friend of the family and surrogate daughter to the Mlacaks. Over 35 years, Mlacak’s style grew from using
a sombre, brown pallet to a bright, lively, vibrant one. Now, his work can be seen in various galleries in Ottawa, in homes in Indonesia, Korea and Japan, in his friends’ and neighours’ homes, as well as his family’s. “So many people have expressed in their communication with us that they have him in their homes, and they’ve already derived a lot of joy in having (a painting by Mlacak), but they will enjoy it even more now.” Mlacak was a calm, quiet man, and a good listener, said Beth. He enjoyed working for Bell Northern Research (later a part of Nortel), helping to build the first computerized telephone switch, dubbed the SP-1. He was a willing mentor, and someone who many people looked to for advice, said Wilkinson and Teron. His work can be seen now, in the community he helped build. “We’ve been really blessed to have wonderful neighbours and friends in this community, and we’ve certainly seen the benefits of that in the last number of days,” said Beth. “It think that’s what was intended, and, for us anyway, it’s happened, and I hope (it happens) for other people, too.”

Soldiers from the 5th Canadian Division out of Gagetown, N.B., race to a berm at the Connaught Range in Kanata on Sept. 19. The team event was part of the Canadian Armed Forces Small Arms Concentration, a learning opportunity and competition for Canadian Forces and NATO allies to share information and find out who is the best marksman. competition, culminating in the awarding of the Queen’s Medal, which goes to two Canadian soldiers (one reservist and one regular forces member) with the highest shooting score. This year, the awards went to reservist Cpl. Johnathan Palmer from 5th Canadian Division out of Gagetown, and regular forces member
Cpl. Jean Christophe Boivin-Couillard from 2nd Canadian Division from Quebec. In accordance with the tradition of the competition, dating back to 1868, both Queen’s Medal winners were transported from the range in specially made chairs, atop the shoulders of their comrades.

The Ottawa Humane Society believes it’s important to teach humane education in schools to teach animal care and welfare to our younger generation. By examining the relationship between humans and animals, students recognize that we share many of the same physical and emotional needs. Humane education school presentations teach kindness and respect while working to create a compassionate and humane society for animals. Starting in the next few weeks, OHS presentations will all be available in French. Whether teaching JK/SK and Grade 1 students about responsible pet care for cats and dogs or inspiring high school students to explore animal related careers — all will be available in French. This will help reach the 45 to 65 per cent of students taking all or part of their studies in French in Ottawa. The OHS has also introduced three new presentations this year: UÊ À>`iÊ {\Ê Ê Ý ÃÌ }Ê Ü Ì Ê Urban Wildlife where students learn about wildlife conflicts as they relate to urban communities and habitat loss, and collaboratively resolve various conflict scenarios to explore how we V> Ê LiÃÌÊ ¼V iÝ ÃÌ½Ê Ü Ì Ê ÕÀL> Ê Ü ` viÊ in our community.

we will see,” he said. Shooting at Connaught Range was particularly difficult, he said, as wind tends to swirl on the range, meaning the wind can actually affect a bullet from multiple directions, instead of one constant direction. One of the main purposes of the event is to not only improve marksmanship across the Canadian Armed Forces, as soldiers take knowledge back to their divisions, but to show soldiers that hitting a target less than a metre tall from 500 metres is possible for any soldier, said the competition’s director, Lt. Col. Don Haisell. Haisell has a blind spot in his right eye, he said, so he knew he couldn’t shoot with his dominant right hand. After lots of training, Haisell learned to shoot with his left hand, and can know make that 500-metre shot. “We are all rifleman first,” said Lt. Erin Neate, an operations officer with CAFSAC. While the drills mimic army disciplines, they are considered essential knowledge for all Canadian soldiers. The winners of the team competition get to travel to Australia’s version of CAFSAC next year. This year, the winners were from 2nd Canadian Division Regular Force from Quebec.

Community - After two weeks of training and competition at the Connaught Range in Kanata, the Canadian military crowned its top shooters on Sept. 20. The yearly Canadian Armed Forces Small Arms Concentration marksmanship event, held annually at the Connaught Range and Primary Training Centre since 1921, put 550 soldiers, rangers and police forces from Canada – as well as soldiers from the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and the United States – through a series of classes and training exercises designed to improve their shooting skills through information-sharing and competition. Participation in the two-week event is highly sought-after, with soldiers having to go through tryouts to win a spot, said Master Cpl. J.D. Hackett with the 5th Canadian Division out of Gagetown, N.B. “This is probably the hardest competition that we do in Canada, in all honesty,” he said moments before beginning a portion of the team competition on Sept. 19. The majority of the event is a solo
Hackett participated in the team portion of CAFSAC, taking part in four separate drills made to test participants’ soldier skills, combat fitness and marksmanship. This included: • Close-quarter battle, mixing rifle and pistol. • Casualty evacuation where four soldiers have to carry a dummy a set distance and then begin firing on moving targets from hundreds of metres away. • Counter-attack section. • Soldier’s Cup, which is a two-anda-half kilometre march with an obstacle course followed by range shooting from 500 to 100 metres away. Getting to practise long-range shooting with live ammunition is one of the draws of the competition, said Hackett, along with getting to share techniques with other soldiers. While the competition attracts top shooters, soldiers from any branch of Canada’s military can participate. Hackett is not a marksman by trade, but a weapons tech, and has engineers and a truck driver on his squad. Nonetheless, Hackett said he was eager to see how his team performed. “There are also groups that are all infantry, so they might have a leg up, but
