Community - Great oaks might come from tiny acorns, but it takes time. And in the city, the space needed to accommodate such trees is in short supply, and in demand for other, often residential, uses. This year’s National Tree Day, held Sept. 25, saw treeplanting events staged around the city, and Kitchissippi ward was no exception. Members of the small, grassroots Champlain Oaks Project helped students from St. George’s School plant a bur oak in Champlain Park. The event served to replace a new oak that didn’t survive the parched summer of 2012, while providing an opportunity to educate the students on the ecology and history of the area. Bur oaks can be found scat-

tered throughout southern Ontario and the midwest of the United States, but the Champlain Park area once hosted a great number of them before European settlement and an encroaching city made the dense forest a memory. Champlain Oaks Project member Daniel Buckles said the strip of land hugging the shoreline of the Ottawa River stretching from Deschenes Rapids in the west to Chaudiere Falls in the east, “is part of a fairly rare ecosystem called an alvar.” “The bur oak is one of the trees that are well adjusted to that ecosystem, which has limestone bedrock topped with a thin layer of soil,” said Buckles. “The further south you go, the soil changes and gets deeper. It’s mostly between the shoreline and Scott Street.” See PLANTING, page 10

The Royal shows ways to cope with trauma Experts offer timely advice in wake of Transitway bus crash tragedy Steph Willems
steph.willems@metroland.com
News - The Transitway crash that left six Ottawa residents dead and many more injured on Sept. 18 also created traumas among the survivors, as well as the family members and friends
of the victims. The shock of the accident and the loss of lives created wounds that will take time to heal. To shed light on what feelings are normal in the wake of a tragedy and what behaviours are cause for concern, the Royal
Ottawa Mental Health Centre hosted a public presentation on Sept. 24. Psychologists, trauma experts and counsellors were on hand to explain the many ways the human mind responds to this type of event, how trauma can morph into a long-term

1,200 residents signing on for the Carlingwood location as of Oct. 1, the organization felt it had the community support needed to proceed. “We’ve never done a pre-sale like this in our organization,” said Rhodenizer. “It’s hard to know if the (membership number) was artificially high, or if we were too aggressive … However, this is an outstanding message and vote of confidence in the brand.” Rhodenizer said “extensive” renovations will begin this week, continuing for the next three months. Also, the YMCA-YWCA will be offering incentives to members who have signed up or plan to sign up before the end of November. Those who have sought new membership during this period will be allowed free access to any Ottawa-area YMCA-YWCA from December until the opening of the Carlingwood location. The organization will continue to have a presence in the mall until that day arrives, with the aim of attracting more memberships.

and family engagement. “(These members) joined not having seen the site and knowing there was some ambiguity surrounding the project… It’s a pretty powerful message and the board felt compelled to proceed.” In late July, when the space in Carlingwood Mall became available after being vacated by a private fitness club, the YMCA-YWCA seized upon the opportunity to reestablish a presence in the west end of Ottawa. A previous location on Lockhart Avenue closed in 2012 after 45 years of operation due to the age of the building. In order to make its business case clear to the landlord and its directors, the organization imposed a 60-day diligence period designed to measure public demand and financial feasibility. The goal of 2,000 new memberships by Sept. 30 faltered in terms of numbers, possibly due to summer holidays during the month of August. Membership purchases picked up recently, and, with around

Hintonburg aims to send city a development message
Steph Willems/Metroland
The past year has seen numerous highrise condo proposals pop up around Hintonburg, leading residents and the local community association to call on the city to pause the approval of such developments. “Whether this will be rejected by council or not, it doesn’t mean the community shouldn’t make a strong statement … and it shouldn’t stop us from passing this motion,” said association member Vicky Smallman. Leiper stated, “It doesn’t matter if this isn’t the right tool … . This is a call for help,” adding the association was limited in its resources and ability to combat developers seeking rezonings.
�������������
Community - The Hintonburg Community Association wants the city to hit the pause button when it comes to approving development proposals taller than 10 storeys, citing limited traffic capacity and other concerns. A motion passed unanimously by the association at a Sept. 26 annual general meeting calls on the city to pass an interim control bylaw preventing the approval of any buildings 10 storeys or taller within the boundaries of Hintonburg. This time span would last until a community design plan was approved for the area covering the site, and a new Official Plan was approved by the city. The community has seen a large number of such proposals come forward in the past year, much like Mechanicsville, located immediately to the north. The community association exhausted much time and money fighting to have two proposals – 233 Armstrong and 1050 Somerset streets – reduced in height, with mixed success. Currently, the community is grappling with Claridge Homes’ 39storey proposal at 1040 Somerset St., located on an oddly-shaped lot perched beside the Somerset Street Bridge and the O-Train tracks. Likewise, a community meeting was set to take place on Oct. 2 regarding proposed 28 and 32 storey buildings for the southwest corner of Scott Street and Parkdale Avenue. A sizeable proposal at 12 Stirling Ave. is also in the works. “The guidance (from the city) is sketchy at best. It seems there is no maximum amount of intensification,” said association president Jeff Leiper. “All of these developments will occur before CDPs are approved (in those areas). We need help – we need help from the city.” While the 18-storey 233 Armstrong St. proposal was ultimately opposed by city council, including Kitchissippi Coun. Katherine Hobbs, the 1050 Somerset proposal saw the association appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board – a costly exercise that gained the community several concessions while failing to reduce the height of the 23-storey tower. Leiper said that people in the community live busy lives and can’t spend their days dealing with popup applications. Linda Hoad, chairwoman of the association’s zoning committee, stressed that such a bylaw would not apply to proposals that are already underway in the planning process. However, there was much doubt at the annual general meeting as to whether the city could ever agree to such a bylaw. Hobbs stated she felt such a motion was “alarmist,” adding “an interim control bylaw does not apply to this (situation).” The CDPs underway in the area are currently being fast-tracked to the best of the city and communi-
ty’s ability, she said, and will all be complete within the year. As well, a development slowdown is currently afflicting the city and it is possible many towers that are proposed will not see the light of day for some time, if at all. “I didn’t agree with what’s proposed for 1050 Somerset and I didn’t agree with what was proposed at 233 Armstrong,” said Hobbs. “It’s planning law that we’re dealing with – don’t ask me to do the impossible … . (An interim control bylaw) is just something that will be rejected out of hand.” Hobbs stated in an email the day after the meeting that she was in talks with legal and planning staff to see if there was a way in which such a bylaw could be employed as an effective tool, or whether the community’s best bet lay with the adoption of another strategy. “Regardless of the tool employed, we all agree that what is needed is for new development applications to be considered in the context of existing and underway community design plans, which will bring certainty to our neighbourhood,” said Hobbs. Despite the doubt cast on the effectiveness of the motion, members decided to keep it on the table to send a message to the city regarding the urgency of the community’s situation.

Development pressure takes centre stage at Hintonburg AGM Community association’s OMB appeal ends up costing $25,000 Steph Willems
steph.willems@metroland.com
Community - It’s been a whirlwind year for the members of Hintonburg Community Association. In addition to the normal work of planning community events and remedying local safety issues, the association found itself scrambling to respond to a slew of large development proposals. The newfound development pressure marked a distinct change from years past and factored heavily into the group’s Sept. 26 annual general meeting. “It’s stunning that we would get this number of new residents in Hintonburg, this density and traffic pressure,” said outgoing president Jeff Leiper, who is abiding by the association’s two-year term cap. The fight against one proposal – the 23-storey 1050 Somerset St. condo tower – saw the association take its case to the Ontario Municipal Board, which Leiper called “an extraordinarily expensive fight” that resulted in a number of concessions on the part of the developer. The OMB fight against Claridge Homes hit the association hard, both in terms of dollars and volunteer time.
Treasurer Eddie Fu broke down the group’s expenses during his report, stating the HCA saw a net loss of $25,000 year-to-date, with $52,000 in expenses outstripping the $27,000 of income. The 1050 Somerset fight was “a significant event for the community in 2013, and very costly,” said Fu, adding the appeal fees were partly offset by $9,000 in fundraising. In response to a question regarding how to recoup the losses, Fu said that by setting aside the one-time appeal, the association’s operations netted a small ($3,000) profit. For the 2014 fiscal year, the association board will take a careful look at the budgeted events to ensure it “runs in the black,” added Leiper. A motion to increase membership fees from $5 to $8, introduced by a non-board member, was subsequently debated and dropped. Development pressure continues in Hintonburg, with the controversial 39storey 1040 Somerset development (across Breezehill from the 1050 site) the subject of numerous meetings over the past several months. A twotower development proposed for the corner of Scott Street and Parkdale Avenue recently came to the notice of the association’s zoning commit-
tee, and will be the focus of coming meetings. Given the number of development applications currently on the books and the amount of people and traffic the influx of units would represent, a motion calling for the city to enact an interim control bylaw for Hintonburg was tabled and passed unanimously. The motion, which was debated as to its effectiveness, calls on the city to not approve any building proposal over 10 storeys within Hintonburg boundaries until a community design plan has been passed for the site in question and a new Official Plan passed by the city. Currently, a number of CDP processes are under way on the fringes of the community, and a new Official Plan is expected within the next year. Of the many committees fielded by the association, the security committee was traditionally the busiest, though in recent years it has been superseded in terms of activity by the zoning committee. Past successes in community safety means the security committee now meets half as often. “Very much this community has managed the area and its problems well,” said security committee head Cheryl Parrott. “It’s been a pretty quiet year.”

The Tega Homes proposal at 233 Armstrong, which was fought by the Hintonburg Community Association, was one of many such project the group found themselves struggling to address over the past year. That said, Parrott stressed the need to be vigilant and discussed the Sept. 13 shooting at the Vibe Lounge, located at Somerset Street and Bayswater Avenue. That shooting saw a young male injured. “We are waiting to hear from the police on that case,” said Parrott, adding they are also waiting on word from the police guns and gangs unit, and the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario. “We’ve put up flyers to connect with residents nearby, and hopefully gain information.” Like the zoning committee, the traffic committee’s work load also shows no signs of easing up. The plans for the re-routing of OC Transpo buses onto Scott Street during LRT construction are still not well-defined, but committee chairman Matt Whitehead said he wants to ensure work done to improve the appearance of the road “is done all at once, not piecemeal.” Kitchissippi Coun. Katherine Hobbs said no matter what happens during the LRT construction, residents have been vocal in calling for a “complete street” approach to follow the project, which means better pedestrian and cycling infrastructure, and a cleaner appearance. The Scott Street community design plan, the process of which is well
underway, calls for this approach. A community meeting in late June outlines the various aspects of the plan, which includes a raised cycling lane and wider sidewalks. The overcrowding of Hintonburg’s schools – a problem that has appeared in recent years – is another issue concerning the community. Public school board chairwoman Jennifer McKenzie, who was at the meeting, said the participants of a recent working group meeting asked her to look at finding land for a school site. Mackenzie said having the community association lend their voice to the call would add weight to the issue, prompting a motion that formally requested the school board set aside land for a future school site. The motion was carried unanimously. The new executive will be decided during the next board meeting on Oct. 7. Because of the two-year term limit, the positions currently occupied president Jell Leiper, vice-president Matt Whitehead and secretary James Valcke will see new faces. Leiper said that in the coming year, the association will likely revamp its sponsorship program, which currently uses a “one-size-fits-all” approach and dates back seven years. “We don’t want to leave money on the table or not be open to new ideas.”

United Way announces goal for this year’s campaign Organization refines fundraising target News - United Way Ottawa has announced a $21-million goal for this year’s community campaign, a significant drop from last year’s target of $30 million. Executive director Michael Allen called the number an attainable goal that targets individuals, rather than decimals. “It’s not less, it’s different,� said Allen, during the campaign launch breakfast at the Ernst and Young Centre on Sept. 26. The United Way will no longer ask donors to raise money beyond what the charity called measurable goals: defined by requests from member organizations with designated priorities. “The United Way campaign in the past used to be an estimate of how much we thought we could raise, but it didn’t matter for what,� Allen said. “Now we have the ability to be much more accountable and transparent about what the money that’s given to United Way causes can do,� Allen said. Last year, the organization said it directly helped 65,000 people, using $16 million of the $30 million raised in the 2012-13 campaign. The remaining $14 million from that campaign went to donor-specified charities outside of the United Way’s targeted priorities. This year, the organization said it would like to focus on increasing the number of people it helps directly to 76,000. “We want to be able to tell donors what donor’s dollars are responsible for,� Allen said. Three years ago, United Way Ottawa changed the way the way the organization allocated funding collected from its annual campaign, creating priorities and criteria to appeal to donors. Allen said this will not change. Donors will still be able to allocate funds to other charities, with that money considered a separate and over-and-above the $21-million campaign goal. Allen also said the way funding is dispersed has changed. “Twenty-million dollars, we know that has the capacity to change lives,� Allen said. “Our goal is about changing the lives of 76,000 people.� Fighting for community dollars, Allen said has become increasingly difficult, as more and more charities and fundraisers compete for donations. Allen cited technology as a game changer for charities, allowing people to donate almost anonymously, on websites such as Kickstarter. “Our donors want to know if their money is making a difference, if it’s making results,� Allen said. “This is where United Way will continue to expand and lead the work that we
do. We work with partners. No one organization or agency can affect the change we want. We need everyone to come together and I think that is where United Way can play a role and affect the kind of change we want.� Allen said he hopes donors see beyond numbers and continue to be impacted by the stories of success. “The range of people the money helps is pretty broad,� Allen said. “For example, the people who were affected by last week’s tragedy in Barrhaven, a lot of those people found themselves on the other end of the phone of a distress centre that we help fund and that is what we are there to do - help those people. Its not necessarily people who are poor who need help. It could be you or I, and I think that is the message.� Allen added he is proud of the citizens in this city who do donate. Two weeks ago the organization announced this year’s campaign chairs: Barbara Cook and Goldy Hyder. “This year the emphasis is less on the millions and more on the thousands of people we can help, that’s important,� Hyder said. Cook said the two will highlight the change that donor dollars can

City, volunteers mark five years for Gay Zone Steph Willems steph.willems@metroland.com
News - What started as a pilot project in 2008 as a way for gay men to get anonymous testing for sexuallytransmitted infections is now in need of an expansion due to its success. The Gay Zone, a clinic operating out of the Centretown Community Health Centre at 420 Cooper St., was created with the help of activists and Ottawa Public Health in response to rising rates of STIs in Ottawa’s gay
community. On Sept. 25, organizers joined city staff and dignitaries in celebrating the fifth anniversary of the clinic. The speed at which the idea of a clinic became a reality surprised its creator, Barry Deeprose, who is the co-chairman of the Gay Zone steering committee. An activist for homosexual and HIV/AIDS-related issues, Deeprose was involved in the Gay Men’s Health Initiative, which had many of its own successes in improving health and
R0012239468_0801
spreading awareness. “We always had a good relationship with Ottawa Public Health,” said Deeprose, referencing the understanding and co-operation of Dr. David Salisbury, the city’s former medical officer of health. “Around 2007 it had come to my attention that syphilis and HIV rates were up, the latter of which haven’t really gone down. It’s hard to get people to get themselves screened and the rates of other STIs were going up, too.” Deeprose said the lowered immunity caused by an STI makes those suffering much more susceptible to contracting other STIs, compounding the problem. “I wrote a letter to the medical officer of health at the time that the community most at risk of STIs had the least services,” said Deeprose, adding that although a testing clinic already existed, he had heard many stories about gay men avoiding it due to feelings of persecution. “Dave Salisbury was so welcoming…he said, ‘Let’s solve this problem.’ ” Resources from the Centretown Community Health Centre, which receives funding from Ottawa Public Health, were reallocated to allow the facility to remain open one night a week to exclusively serve gay men seeking STI testing. The appearance
of the clinic – called the Gay Zone – was kept low-key to encourage men to walk in and access its services. A diverse array of programming was created around the new clinic, as its creators sought to make it more than just a place for blood testing. A film night and book club sprang up, as did a yoga class, special events, and supports for gay youth and those recovering from narcotics addiction. “The idea was to treat gay men’s health holistically, meaning treat the whole body,” said Deeprose. “A big part of a person’s health is having a social network.” Deeprose said he’d like to see the clinic used as a cost-efficient model for other cities that currently lack ad-
equate health and social services for gay men. The amazingly fast turnaround of the clinic (from an idea in April of 2007 to fruition that September) was matched only by the demand for its services. Expecting about five men to show up each Thursday night, staff and volunteers saw the number of clients grow to 10 per week, and then to an average of 30 to 40. “It’s at capacity,” said Deeprose. “We estimate there’s been over 5,000 visits over the past five years.” Currently, the committee and health centre are looking at the possibility of creating a second night for the clinic, but making it a bare-bones affair, minus the activities.

United Way needs clear goals
T
he United Way Ottawa announced a $21million community campaign goal on Sept. 24, a significant drop from last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s target of $30 million. Simple subtraction tells us the organization is looking to raise $9 million less than the 2012-13 fundraising year. The decrease seems to follow a disturbing trend over the past two years. In 2011, the organization announced a $33 million goal, but fell short by $1 million; the following year the target was set at $30 million. On the face of it, the numbers seem to indicate the charity will have fewer dollars to support local charities. But numbers can be deceiving, according to the charityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s executive director Michael Allen during last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s breakfast launch at the Ernest and Young Centre. Allen explains the $9 million drop in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign target as not less, just different. We scratched our collective heads over that reasoning. Unfortunately, the campaign offers a confusing chain of logic to explain how much money it needs to raise and how it uses the money, turning the process into a benign form of a classic shell game. Yes, the charity is looking to raise fewer dollars
â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s target only includes donations to local United Way programs. Donors will still be able to donate money to other charities, said Allen, but that money is considered separate â&#x20AC;&#x201C; beyond the $21 million campaign goal. Three years ago, the United Way Ottawa changed the way it allocated funds collected during the campaign, creating priorities and criteria to appeal to donors. In fact, the organization is actually looking to increase the amount of money it allocates to its community partners based on last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s total of roughly $16 million. But the problem is the United Way is doing a poor job of communicating how it defines its needs and the way it uses campaign dollars. Confusing potential donors could ultimately translate into fewer donations. The United Way Ottawa spends too much time telling us how much the charity wants to help people, as opposed to defining those needs and presenting a simple-to-understand battle plan. When a charity announces a drop in its fundraising target, it only makes sense to offer a straightforward explanation for the decrease. With so many charities out there competing for limited donations, it only makes sense to put together a good sales pitch.

City life could use a little more country flair
I
n the fall fair season we get a chance to see things from a different perspective. That can be simple as noticing the houses in a small town as you cruise the small-town streets looking for a place to park, or it can be as profound as witnessing significant instances of behaviour modification. For example: standing in the mud in front of the merry-go-round at the Richmond Fair and waiting for grandchildren to revolve past me, I notice something odd about the 20 or so adults on the contraption. None of them is checking a phone. You have to admit thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty remarkable. When was the last time you looked at 20 adults and none was checking a phone? 1997? Or maybe in church, although even that is by no means certain. People will check their phones any time, any place. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just that someone may be phoning them. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also that the phone has a weather update, a hockey score, a favourite song, a movie review, a Sudoku, a text â&#x20AC;&#x201C; each of which could be more interesting than whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on right here, right now. They are called smart phones, although the adjective does not automatically apply to their owners. Knowing the power of the smart phone,

That investigation reveals that it is not just on the merry-go-round that people are not checking their phones. It is all over the fairgrounds. People walk by talking with each other, looking around, seemingly aware of their surroundings. It is quite refreshing. The question is why. We are people, remember, who value our communications devices so much that we now must carry a bagful of wires, in case our phones need charging, or our iPads or BlackBerrys or iPods.

the fair? The answer has to be that they are afraid they will miss something if they do. There are all the rides, including that whirly one youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have to pay me big money to go on. There are the animals, or that puppet show over there. There are all the booths â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the embroidery, the hats, the candy, the fresh donuts. Fire trucks! Cotton candy! Politicians! If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking at your phone you will walk right by, not noticing. This is an important way the country fair differs from ordinary life. The country fair has variety, things you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect, things more interesting than whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on your phone. If you look down you might miss something. For one thing, you might miss an expression on a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face. The challenge now is to apply the products of this important new research. The goal is obvious: to make city life more like a country fair so that people wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be checking their phones all the time. But the means arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t obvious. We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have heavy horses all over the downtown. Ferris wheels wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fit in most urban spaces. And for all we know there are probably zoning bylaws against cotton candy in certain neighbourhoods.
Still, it would be nice if city life contained a few more pleasant surprises than it does now, even if it meant more mud on the streets. If you look at the truly interesting city neighbourhoods in the world, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll notice that they contain stores that you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect, stores that specialize in odd things, like clothing for pets or books about sports or country music on vinyl. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find dead-end streets and little squares with little parks, tiny churches. You might not find banks or giant drugstores or chain coffee shops where people are busy looking at their phones.

Keeping the kids motivated how much I paid for those lessons? Thousands! Thousands!” The problem with motivation is it’s intrinsic. So if you’re in the position of motivator, you’ve got to figure out what really makes the kid tick. This is really hard when it comes to music lessons at our house because I’m forcing the kids to do it. Sure, they asked at some point a few years ago to learn the piano. Sure, they sometimes think it’s cool. But when they’re frustrated, they hate it – and me – and that’s when the tantrums, tears and insults start flying. If you think they give a poop about losing screen time at that point, you’d be sadly mistaken. Discipline – real discipline, the kind that works to keep that motivation going – is time-consuming and requires consistency. And it can’t be reactive. By the time the kid is having a temper, everyone’s overloaded. You’ve got to have something in your store closet to defuse the situation. Whether you’re dealing with kids,

colleagues or employees, here are a few ways to keep people motivated: • Take time to reflect on achievements. We live in such a fast-paced world, taking time to recognize what we’ve accomplished before moving onto the next thing is a rare occurrence. But it’s important to remind people how far they’ve come. • Take time to consider the level of expertise they have developed over time – and why sticking to it is important. My kids like it when I tell them that, as a result of hours of practice, a song has become easy for them – this is particularly powerful when they’re sight-reading a new piece at the beginning of the week and I start to hear catastrophic phrases like “I’ll NEVER get this!” • Link success to other areas of their lives. I frequently share articles from the newspaper that explain how music education can help with reading and math – “Even though you may not realize it, doing music lessons makes school easier for you,” I tell them. • Provide them with short and long-term goals. It’s one thing to slog away on the piano all week, but where is it going to get them besides to the next lesson? My kids know at the end of four years, they will graduate from the program and get a medal. We also try to provide

he hardest thing as a parent is to keep kids motivated. Like the rest of us, the kids gear up in September for school and sports and all kinds of extra-curricular programs. By the time October comes around I start hearing a lot of “It’s Wednesday already? I don’t want to go to music lessons.” Believe me, kid, I feel the same way. We tend to use a lot of reward and punishment at our house – in the form of receiving and losing privileges, mostly. But while this is the most convenient form of discipline for parents, it’s not the most sophisticated. The biggest problem with reward and punishment – to which I’m sure many teachers and managers can attest – is that it tends to lose effectiveness over time. While the kid may have valued screen time or extra pocket money when you first started using them, the second he decides he doesn’t care about those things anymore, the whole system comes crashing down. So what’s a mom to do? How do we keep the kids motivated? How do we keep ourselves motivated when we, too, feel like skipping music lessons, even as we’re simultaneously shouting “Do you know
them. I tell the kids that it’s not always easy for me to get to music on a Wednesday either – because I’m tired, or I’m on deadline. But I also appreciate the opportunity to turn off my phone and spend a whole, uninterrupted hour with each of them – not to mention the fact they’re challenging me to learn to play the piano too.

Planting local strains important: advocacy group Continued from page 1
Following the end of the last ice age, the Ottawa Valley funneled much of the melt water to the ocean, and the water level was much higher than its current state. Bur Oaks eventually took root near the river in such numbers that early explorers assigned their name to the nearby rapids (deschenes means “of the oaks”). The sprawling canopies of that forest’s surviving descendants still tower over some houses in the area. However, it was the loss of one such tree - nearly two centuries old – that spurred the group into existence three years ago. The potential development
of a property on Northwestern Avenue meant that one of the remaining Bur Oaks was slated for the chopping block. The group tried to find an alternative, but the cutting went ahead. In a twist of fate, the redevelopment project was dropped, leaving an empty lot and no tree. Going forward from that point, the group’s focus turned to preserving the remaining examples in the area, while planting others where they can. “The initiative started as a way of engaging the city and the developer,” said Buckles. “We lost a healthy, very old tree, but in the broader context it speaks to what’s
happening with infill development – homes whose footprints are so huge it means the community will never see large trees again.” The preservation of local genetics of tree species and maintaining a diversity of species throughout the city is a growing part of their advocacy. The appearance of the emerald ash borer, which has killed a huge amount of the city’s tall, broad ash trees over the past couple of years, has heightened the urgency for the city to plant different species. “You don’t want to put all of your eggs in one basket,” said Buckles. “Not only do you need di-

extreme temperature fluctuations that the Ottawa climate delivers year after year. A sapling of the same species sourced from a nursery in a more southerly climate won’t have that built-in resilience, said Buckles.

Sense of security to come back slowly Continued from page 1
“For all of us in our city, this has been something that’s very upsetting, and for some of you we know this is particularly raw,” said Dr. Michele Boivin, a psychologist at The Royal. “What really makes something traumatic is how much it threatens us, or how much it violates us. This can be something we experience directly, or not necessarily,” she said. “It can be something we observe happen to something else, learning of something violent or accidental happening to someone close to you, or it can be the experience of repeated exposure to upsetting details of something that’s happened.” Boivin said that a traumatic event can threaten and challenge people’s belief system and expectation of personal safety, leading to emotional and behavioral changes – even troubling physical symptoms - that are out of character for the individual. Guilt, anger, fear and anxiety are all common reactions. “The behaviours you see people engaging in are really an effort to cope with what’s happening,” said Boivin. “It’s natural to try to avoid things that remind us of things that remind us of what happened, or avoid situations where we might feel unsafe … There’s a whole range of normal reactions that people can
$
have. There’s no one right way or expected way to respond to (this).” Trauma is more common than many think – studies have shown that 60 per cent of men and half of all women will experience at least one traumatic experience during their lives. However, most of those people will “bounce back” from the experience, and not go on to develop a form of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). As time passes from the moment of trauma, accomplishments are needed that allows an individual to slowly re-establish their sense of security. Boivin gives the example of getting back behind the wheel in the wake of a car accident. “It really brings us back into contact with our natural support systems, and that’s hugely important because that sets the stage for us to us …to digest what’s happened and begin to heal,” said Boivin. “If that avoidance persists over time … (it) can prevent us from having those corrective experiences. And the same goes for being overprotective.” Helping loved ones cope in the aftermath of a trauma means providing the right amount of support, but not overdoing it. Listening to the individual, understanding their feelings and accepting their initial coping methods is key, said Dr. Luis Oliver, psychologist at The Royal. What isn’t helpful is to minimize
a person’s suffering, or to give unhelpful advice. “Sometimes people are well meaning … but if a person isn’t ready or isn’t where they’re coming from, this doesn’t help,” said Oliver, adding that intervention can be necessary if grief and coping turns to self-destruction or harm. When should loved ones consider finding more support to prevent an individual from slipping into the grip of PTSD? “When we start to organize our lives around the trauma – when sadness or guilt starts to make decisions for us,” said Boivin. When the intensity of a person’s distress doesn’t lessen, or if feelings begin to impair relationships, activities and self-care, that’s when intervention is needed. Help can be accessed from a number of sources – natural support groups (family or friends), a family doctor, mental health practitioners, and even employee assistance programs can all point people to the right resources. Oliver said that while traumatic events can lead people to doubt their sense of purpose and existence, it can often lead people to reevaluate the things that are important in their lives – leading to positive changes in their life’s trajectory. “Sometimes we go around thinking we’re going to live forever and nothing is ever going to affect us,

which isn’t true,” he said. Following the conversation at The Royal, a young woman – who recently emigrated from India – rose to thank the doctors for their information. She had been on the route 76 bus that collided with the VIA train near Fallowfield Station, emerging from the wreck with just some bruises. However, with her family overseas, and with the stress of a job search and adjustment to a new life in a new country already present, she asked how could deal with her experience. “The traffic is chaotic in India,
and I had driven for years,” she said. “Now I’m thinking I escaped that and landed on this bus.” Oliver said that communication with others is essential, as it is the key way people cope. “Something like this can make you feel very much alone,” he said. “I encourage you to reach out to those you feel safe with.” As attendees filed out of the auditorium, counsellors were seen embracing the woman, before starting a conversation.

Beyond the bedside
Local end-of-life experts help launch the province’s first integrated palliative program – and build a case for better funding METROLAND EAST SPECIAL REPORT
T
here’s an elephant in the room and it’s crowding Ottawa’s hospitals. Too many people are dying in hospital because they haven’t had honest discussions about death, according to palliative care doctor José Pereira. These conversations – a patient’s preferred place to die, the level of treatment and their concept of comfort – must start long before a person is weeks away from death, he said. “If we only think about palliative care from the last days or weeks of life, many people are going to suffer unnecessarily for the time they have left,” he said. For one Ottawa woman, who Pereira didn’t name for privacy reasons, this lack of planning led to confusion for both her and her family. Just a few months before she died her doctors at Bruyère Continuing Care still didn’t consider the woman a palliative patient. As her health failed, she was receiving treatments she likely didn’t need any more. “This was a lady who had been struggling with end-stage heart disease, very, very advanced heart disease for many years. And suddenly in the last few months (she was) admitted to a hospital, and put on all sorts of treatments,” Pereira said. She started a regime of antibiotics, and was put on dialysis for kidney failure. She began to question the benefit of being hooked up to machines this late in her illness, Pereira said. “She was saying, ‘I know I’m dying ... my goal is to be as comfortable as possible.’” A quick look at her chart was telling: scrawled in a colleague’s note, the words “the patient is not yet palliative.” COHESIVE CARE
Pereira’s colleague wasn’t being oblivious; there are hundreds of health-care professionals across the city and province who share the same view that palliative care is only relevant in the last few weeks of life. “Health professionals in general haven’t received much education in this area,” said Pereira, a doctor at Bruyère Continuing Care and the Ottawa Hospital. “We get trained in our different specialties but we haven’t in the past 14

Célestin Abedi heads the new Champlain Hospice Palliative Care Program, the first of its kind in Ontario that wants to get all health professionals on the same page when it comes to end of life care. It’s an initiative that aspires to change the way palliative care is de-

livered – and how it’s funded. “The issue is not only beds,” Abedi said. “It’s how we can create a more seamless transition for clients from one service provider to another,” Ottawa has a “strategic advantage” in the palliative care field, Abedi said. Some of the national leaders in the field call Ottawa home and the city also benefits from having the Bruyère community, the largest palliative care provider and research body in Canada. Despite a wealth of expertise and
resources, access to palliative and hospice care delivery in Ottawa has been disjointed. “There were a lot of initiatives that different local communities were working on but there wasn’t any kind of connection with what they were doing and what the hospital is doing,” Abedi said. Part of the regional network’s goal is to help patients and caregivers create a palliative care plan that starts long before the patient is in the final days of their life. “(This) is a paradigm shift. The current system – it was somewhat very fragmented and key players were left out,” Abedi said. “What we’ve done (is) to bring everybody together to have a common vision of what should be the right palliative care for the population. “And from there, we’ve made tremendous progress.”
It sounds simple, but identifying common, validated tools and training and creating a standardized approach for how care is delivered will go a long way, Abedi said. Part of the challenge is bringing the entire range of palliative-care providers into the fold and adopting a common mindset. Instead of reactive, symptom-focused care delivered by several different providers who don’t necessarily communicate with each other, the regional program looks to bring all providers on board with a more holistic approach. Providing continuity of care throughout the course of a patient’s illness is the goal. But achieving it means unraveling a complex web of family physicians, emergency-room doctors, oncologists, homecare providers, day hospice programs and more. Something as straightforward as creating an electronic record of treatments that’s shared amongst a patient’s entire health-care team is a nut that can take months to crack, Abedi said. Step one was creating a clearing house for processing applications for palliative care. There are now two nurses working out of Bruyère Continuing Care who use their expertise in palliative care to assess a standard intake form and place patients on a waiting list for the type of care that best suits their needs. That’s one major step towards a truly integrated system, said Lynn Kachuik, an Ottawa Hospital nurse who is an expert in palliative care and sits on the regional program’s council. “By going to the (centralized) system we are able to simplify the access … So they’ve got the data they need to make a decision based on what the needs of the patient are,” she said. “We’ve been much more efficient in using the beds effectively.” MAKING THE BEDS
Centralizing the hospice and palliative care system on a larger scale is another goal for regional network. By October, Ottawa will have 19 residential hospice beds run by one umbrella group called Hospice Care Ottawa. The organization is a merger of the Friends of Hospice Ottawa and the Hospice at May Court, which were operating separately until a year ago. The two groups amalgamated to integrate funding and services for the city. Merging Maycourt and the Friends of Hospice was not a painless process, Abedi said, but now the city has one entity that can look at the needs of the entire city. “We cannot allow ourselves to have so many players who are not connected whatsoever,” Abedi said. “We cannot sustain that.” Continued on page 15

“Sometimes it’s not just about more funding, sometimes it’s about allocating the money we have more appropriately,” Pereira said. “I really think what this project (the hospice merger) shows is that when you bring all the stakeholders together you can reallocate the existing funding in a much better way.” Pereira has witnessed the positive effects of this approach through his work at a residential hospice in Edmonton in 1995. “The research shows that if we do it properly, people have less depression, less anxiety and may in fact even live longer,” he said. Ottawa’s hospice still has a long way to go, said Lisa Sullivan, executive director of Hospice Care Ottawa. “In terms of the size of Ottawa, we know it could benefit with a lot more beds,” Sullivan said. A study from Bruyère Continuing Care in Ottawa suggested the city needs somewhere between 70 to 80 beds for a population of one million, but the regional program has set a

goal of 40 beds. Currently, the city has nine hospice beds available at May Court and eight beds at the Embassy West Senior Living on Carling Avenue. Two more beds will be added by October. By 2016, the organization plans to build a 10-bed residential hospice in Kanata, followed by 10 beds in the east end and then 10 more beds in the south end, Sullivan said. But the focus on beds isn’t necessarily the most pressing issue, Sullivan said. There is an overwhelming need to boost bereavement and day hospice programs.

Dr. José Pereira is a palliative care expert at the Bruyère Continuing Care centre. FUNDING FLIP
In Ottawa, the biggest player in residential hospice care needs $1.6 million a year just to keep the lights on. “We need to raise $1.6 million just to operate. No extra bells and whistles,” said Sullivan. “That is our biggest need.” Under the current provincial formula, most residential hospices receive around $246 per bed per day though the Champlain Local Health Integration Network. That covers roughly 40 per cent of their operating budgets. “That money comes with a lot of strings,” Abedi said. It can be used only to cover for nursing staff and personal support workers. Rick Firth, executive director of Hospice Palliative Care Ontario, would like to see that number grow to 80 per cent, but recognizes that funding residential hospice beds is a relatively new practice in Ontario. “It’s easy to say they’re not funding 100 per cent, but you look at 2002 with zero dollars to hospice and then in 2006 there was about $24 million allocated,” Firth said. “And it continues to grow.” Recognizing that a hospice bed costs $439 a day compared to $850 a day for an acute care bed in a hospital, many palliative care experts argue the province’s money would be more effectively spent on hospice beds to free up hospital beds.
In Ottawa, Abedi’s ultimate goal is to convince the LHIN to reverse the funding balance and pay for 60 to 80 per cent of the cost of hospice care. “We are working to collect enough data to advise the LHIN to change that funding formula,” Abedi said. If the province’s goal is to have hospice to play a bigger role within the health care system, Abedi said “it is not correct” to ask hospices to fundraise for 60 per cent of their budgets. On the advice of the hospice palliative regional program in Ottawa, the LHIN is now funding around 65 per cent of nursing costs for the amalgamated local hospice group. Navigating that uncharted territory of making incremental decisions that will build towards a new funding model will fall to Ottawa because it is a leader in the palliative-care field. “When you look at palliative care, we’ve got a lot that other areas don’t have,” said Kachuik, the Ottawa Hospital palliative-care nurse specialist. “I think we’ve taken great strides in developing what I would call an integrated system.” While Ottawa still has work to do, it is a leader compared to other parts of the province, particularly rural areas. The Thunder Bay region has no hospice beds at all, and the South East LHIN, stretching from Belleville to Smiths Falls and north to part of Lanark County, only opened its first three beds this summer. Other regions of Ontario plan to follow Ottawa’s lead by starting their own regional programs for palliative and hospice care. But in the meantime, experts in Ottawa will set the example for a shift in how end-of-life care is delivered.

Rural hospice: ‘there’s a need for sustainable funding’
taff at Hospice Renfrew know all too well the limitations of a rural location. The hospice’s six beds run in the small town of Renfrew are the only ones in the county, and they’re almost always filled with patients living out their final days. A registered nurse and a personal support worker are there 24 hours a day, and the hospice also maintains a small administration. About 50 volunteers cover the reception desk, run support programs, plan events, tend the garden and bake homemade snacks for residents. But it’s not enough. Six beds can’t meet demand for an entire county, and there’s a constant list of patients waiting to get a bed, said hospice director Diane Caughey.
Some of them die before the beds become available. But adding more beds isn’t exactly feasible, either. The Ontario government funds less than half of the hospice’s $1 million operating costs, and all of that money goes to nursing care, Caughey said. “There’s a need for sustainable funding that will cover operations,” she said. “There are fundraising challenges in a small rural community.” Fewer people means fewer dollars, and there’s always competition from other fundraising health care facilities in the region. “The challenge is ... how does a community of 5,000 people raise the $1 million a year to support it?” asked Hospice Palliative Care Ontar-
io’s executive director Rick Firth. Renfrew is not alone in this. Rural hospice beds are few and far between. According to Firth, the vast majority of the province’s 231 beds are located in urban areas. Until July, the South East Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) covering Belleville, Kingston, Smiths Falls and parts of Lanark County had no hospice beds at all, and the North-West LHIN in the Thunder Bay region still lacks any residential facilities. Part of the problem is that provincial funding for hospices is designated solely for nursing staff – $90,000 per bed - and that base cost is the same no matter how many beds a hospice has. “In the smaller facilities it’s more
of a challenge because the nursing model requires a registered nurse present 24/7,” Firth said. “So in a situation like Renfrew where there’s six beds (instead of the standard 10), you still have the need for an RN 24/7. You can’t split a nurse in two. So proportionately they get less funding per bed.” A six-bed hospice like Renfrew should get $116,000 instead of $90,000, he said. The other problem is geography. To cut costs, several villages or townships will collaborate to cover a region. A day hospice program could be located in one town, Firth said, but residential hospice beds might be in another. This creates an access problem for patients and family members who
must travel long distances to get to the facility they need. The new hospice program inside the South East LHIN hopes to address some of those issues. Instead of building the standard 10-bed model in a centralized, urban location, the beds will be spread around. In July, Hospice Prince Edward opened three beds in Picton and the South East LHIN plans to monitor how they are used before opening the remaining seven beds in several other small groups across the region. Firth said rural access is one of his organization’s biggest priorities moving forward, and it will participate in a ministry-led committee this fall to facilitate rural-focused solutions.

Glebe Community Association to set priorities Michelle Nash

News - As the landscape begins to rapidly change in the Glebe, the community association has decided
to create priorities to reach out to its membership. At the Glebe Community Association’s first 2013-14 meeting on Sept. 24, new president Christine McAllister approached the board with a
question - Does the board wish to step back and organize themselves and create priorities for the future? “It’s a question about longer term planning,” McAllister said. “How do we want to represent the commu-

nity?” The reception from the board was overwhelmingly positive. “I think we should,” said treasurer, Vaughn Guy. “Any board should want to answer those questions, particularly a board that is always changing.” Planning chairman Bobby Galbreath agreed. “We live in a changing environment,” Galbreath said. “We need to look at how far we can grasp and what we can do.” McAllister said the goal is to reach out to all residents - including any who will move into the new condominiums being built at Lansdowne to represent the Glebe in its entirety. “We tend to react as issues come up,” McAllister said. “Do we have something we want to organize for?” In June, after taking over the position, McAllister named the desire to engage more residents in the association’s committees and initiatives as one of her goals for the year. At the meeting McAllister already seemed on the right path, as the evening saw relatively larger numbers of residents as well as a representative from the Glebe Business Improvement Area. A tight evening schedule, McAllister ensured there was time specifically added for residents at the meeting. “I want to make sure residents have a chance to bring things to the board,” she said. Five minutes was designated for residents to speak out about concerns from the neighbourhood. Lansdowne construction held court. Noise along Bank Street and construction dust and mud were named

Glebe Community Association president Christine McAllister sought the board’s opinion at its Sept. 24 meeting whether its necessary to create focused priorities for the association. top concerns. Russell said the BIA will look into reinstating its ‘good driver’ award, where the board awarded one Lansdowne truck driver for driving safely and slowly along Bank Street. As for the dust and mud being created because of the construction at the site, residents said they were concerned for cyclists and pedestrians breathing in all the dust, adding the dust is sometimes so heavy that it’s hard to breathe. Those concerns resulted in a motion from the board to request the city and Lansdowne contractors clean the sidewalks and roads to help keep the mud and dust down. As far as longterm planning, the board approved to create a sub-committee tasked with planning will hold a community-wide meeting about the future priorities of the association at a future date.

Greenbank station changes won’t impact response times: police Jennifer McIntosh
jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
News - Residents in the west end won’t have to worry about longer response times despite changes to the Greenbank Road police station, said director of facilities Ian Fisher. Fisher was asked to speak about the changes to the city’s second largest station at Knoxdale-Merivale Coun. Keith Egli’s fall open house on Sept. 24. “Residents are worried about what changes might mean for them,” Egli said. “I thought having Ian (Fisher) talk about what’s happening would help to ease some of those concerns.” Fisher said last June the police services board approved a long-term plan for the growth of police facilities in the city. The aim is to plan for service as the city grows and where that service will take place. There are currently two dozen facilities that range from the police headquarters on Elgin Street to the training facilities at Algonquin College.
“We looked out 17 years in the future,” Fisher said. “Because it ties in with development charges and some other plans the city will have and tried to dovetail with those.” He added they looked very closely at the facility on Greenbank. It was built in the 1970s by Nepean and renovated a decade later to go from two storeys to three storeys. “We have simply outgrown it,” Fisher said. “It’s also a very hard building on the inside, made mostly of concrete so it’s hard to do renovations.” Nothing will be done until the year 2024, Fisher said. “But we intend to engage the public early on our plan for that station,” he said, adding police start planning the specifics of a new building five to six years before its built. “We started talking to the public years before the new Huntmar station was built,” Fisher said, adding along with the change at Greenbank, it’s likely Ottawa police will need to build another station. Fisher said the heating and ventilation systems are break-

of millions. The plan also looked at how the site is used – the land is mostly taken up by park-
ing. “It’s a site we absolutely want to stay part of, but the building will change over
time,” Fisher said, adding the cost of renovations would be comparable to building a new facility that fits the needs of the police in the future. The police currently have two temporary offices leased on Fairmont and Queensway avenues. Fisher said the occupants of those buildings would be moved to the Greenbank station as part of the long-term plan. “We will have less of a uniformed presence on the site and more of an administrative function,” Fisher said. “And the building will likely grow. We want to make better use of the site.” No changes will be made to police or how the area is patrolled as calls are currently allocated to a patrol division. The closest cars are then dispatched to the call. “When you dial 911, it’s not a car coming from a police station, it’s a car patrolling the area,” Fisher said. “So the change of Greenbank to a more administrative function won’t affect the calls for service or the time it takes for cars to get to an emergency call.”

‘Central’ vital link between isolation and the neighbours
I
t was a complete mystery to me. I never thought much about it before Uncle Lou, with his usual feeling of compassion for Mother, installed our first telephone out on the farm in Northcote. But once that beautiful oak contraption was hung on our wall in the kitchen, I was in complete awe of how someone not even in our house knew when we wanted to talk to someone miles away or they wanted to talk to us. That someone was right inside Briscoe’s General Store. She sat on a padded chair in front of a big board with holes in it and long cords trapped in a desk-like affair in front of her. Usually, a light would come on, but sometimes a little bell would ring and she would know exactly
MARY COOK Memories what to do with those cords and the holes in the board with the red lights flashing. Sometimes, Mr. Briscoe manned what was called the switchboard himself, but I have little memory of his voice coming into our oak phone on the kitchen wall. It was someone we simply called “Central.” The very first day we got the phone, will stay in my mind forever. Mother cried. Not from sadness, but from the sheer wonder of finally being able to talk to someone at will R0012234198

beyond the four walls of our old log house. That first night, we sat around the kitchen waiting for the phone to ring. There was no looking through the Eaton’s catalogue that night, or whittling or playing cards at the pine table. Even Mother’s diaries never left the back-to-the-wall cupboard. We sat in a circle as if we were in a theatre. Only Father wasn’t that impressed. Finally, it came around to bedtime and it looked very much like the phone was not going to ring. It was Mother who decided, if no one was going to call in, she would call out. She went to the beautiful new phone, which I thought was every bit as nice as the new oak ice box grandfather bought for us, and took the receiver off the hook and pressed a little black button on the side of the box. “Could I please talk to Bertha Thom,” she said into the black mouthpiece. And there it was -there was Mother talking to Aunt Bertha, just as if she was in another room and not across the TwentyAcre Field on the next farm. When the phone was put in that day, we were told our ring was “two longs and a short.” It didn’t take us long to know the rings of everyone else in Northcote. But it really didn’t matter if we knew the right rings or
not, because “Central” was well acquainted with the rings of everyone for kilometres around. Having a phone was not without its problems. When it rang, it could be for any number of homes in Northcote. As many as four or even five other families shared the line. We soon found out you had to be extremely careful what you said on the phone because if they chose to listen in, everyone who took off their receiver were privileged to your conversation. It wasn’t unusual to have your complete conversation repeated the next day at the General Store! It also wasn’t unusual to pick up the receiver and ask Central if she knew where Mrs. Hines was -- her advice was needed. Central always knew where everyone was. Sometimes when Mother rang a neighbour, Central would come on and say, “Oh, she’s gone into Renfrew to Walkers. She needed some lace trim for a blouse she’s making. She should be back in a couple hours. Do you want me to ring you when she gets home?” Central was the lifeblood of the entire neighbourhood. If there was a fire, or any other emergency, somehow Central was able to ring all the farms at the same time, at least that seemed to be the case, because everyone responded in time to give a
THE VETERAN VAN STRALEN
helping hand where needed. Of course you didn’t need Central if you knew the ring of the person you were calling. You just pressed the little black button on the side of the telephone and twirled the handle on the other side, giving the number of rings to reach whomever you wanted to talk to. And it wasn’t unusual for Central to interrupt your call to tell you some important bit of news or to say someone else was trying to get the phone and would you please hurry and free up the line. It was different when Mr. Briscoe was answering a call. With him it was all business -- no time for idle chatter with Mr. Briscoe. Mother always felt safer once we had the phone put in on the farm. Some of the isolation she felt when she first moved to Northcote was gone. It was my sister Audrey who noticed it. “It’s not exactly like New York,” Audrey said, “but for Mother it beats not being able to talk to another soul without getting out the horse and buggy or the old Model T.” Yes indeed. The new phone made a world of difference to our lives on the farm and “Central,” I thought back then, was just about the most important person in Northcote. She was that vital link between isolation and connection with a neighbour.

A children’s garden planned for Glebe’s Central Park is delayed until spring 2014.
File
Construction pushed back a year Michelle Nash
michelle.nash@metroland.com
News - Plans to build an exploration garden in Central Park this summer never came to be because the city could not find a contractor to take on the project. The project, submitted in early April to the city’s planning and heritage committees, aimed to create a small space in Glebe’s central park next to Bank Street for children to play. Dubbed the children’s exploration garden, the proposal included a fossil dig area, balance beams, log seating and a sand play area. The garden would be enclosed by a bamboo fence and the entire project would cost the city $120,000.
The proposal received council approval for construction this past June, after receiving heritage stamp of approval from built heritage in May but, according to Captial Coun. David Chernushenko, the project got off to a late start, leaving contractors without the necessary time and man-power to complete the work. The Glebe Community Association’s parks committee said in June it had hoped construction would begin in July, but Chernushenko reported the city did not receive any qualifying bids. According to the councillor, the city has gone back to the contractors, seeking new bids, but the delay cost the Glebe its chance to have the

garden built this year. “I am hoping next year contractors will be not as busy and have interest in this project,” Chernushenko said. Chernushenko said part of the issues with the contractors was the tight timeline and the proposed staging area, which was located in the park. The community association disapproved of the construction staging area, and voted for the city to work on finding a better area, not green space to put construction materials. Disappointed the garden did not get built this summer, parks committee chairperson Elizabeth Ballard thanked the councillor for working with the community on the project, adding she was disappointed it was delayed. Chernushenko said the project will go to tender again in the spring of 2014.

Starting a conversation about drugs Police workshop teaches parents what they need to know about talking to kids Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com
News - Ottawa police have partnered with the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre to offer parents a workshop on kids and drugs. The program, which will be held at the resource centre on Saturday, Oct. 5, gives tips on how parents can talk to their children about drug use, learn the street slang and what’s popular in Ottawa, and how to recognize potential problems. “It’s for parents only; it’s how to talk to your kids and how to recognize current issues and trends and drug use,” said Const. Lori Fahey,
with the Kanata and Stittsville Community Police Centre. The Kids and Drugs program covers four main topics: the power of parents; talking with your kids; helping your kids make good decisions; and what parents need to know about drugs, said Fahey. “We just give them an idea of what the current trends are here in Ottawa,” she explained. “We provide information on different drugs, what they look like, what they’re called.” The workshop is open to parents with children and teenagers of all ages, but the sooner the conversation starts,
the better, Fahey said. “We’re looking to catch parents when (their children are) around Grade 5, just to address the topic,” said Fahey, who will be part of the presentation. “Those are the formative years … We want to catch them before they’re starting to use drugs, before they have to make those decisions.” Current drug trends in Ottawa include marijuana and Fentanyl, a strong prescription opioid used to treat chronic pain. There have been recent cases of Fentanyl overdoses in rural areas of the city, said Fahey, adding that police have already hosted Kids and Drugs sessions in Manotick, as well as at two Kanata schools during school council meetings. “The main concern is starting with marijuana. They say
it’s not a gateway drug but if you’re willing to try marijuana, you’re willing to try other drugs,” said Fahey. The session will arm parents with a “toolbox” they can use when having discussions with their children, she added. “It’s just bringing these up to your kids and giving them options,” said Fahey. “Helping your kids make good decisions.” The workshop will be held at the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre, located at 2 MacNeil Crt., Kanata, from 9:30 a.m. to noon. Interested parents are asked to register beforehand by calling the centre at 613591-3686. For more information, visit the Facebook page at facebook.com/kidsanddrugsottawa.

Not your grandmother’s compression stockings Do you no ce swelling of the ankles, spider veins in the lower legs. Pooling in the lower legs is caused by valves that do not close properly in the veins and that sets of a cascade of problems when you sit or stand for too long a period of me. Many of us may experience heaviness in our legs, swelling and/or poor circula on in our life me and using gradient compression hose can help to move the blood more efficiently back to your heart. Just because our health needs require products to assist us doesn’t mean we have to sacrifice our fashion or lifestyle for it. BioPed Footcare Centre www.bioped.com in O awa, Ontario offers a complete range of compression stockings, ideal for relieving pain resul ng from general aches and pains, diseases and disorders, while also having an appearance that doesn’t get in the way of our lifestyles and fashion choices. These aren’t your grandmother’s compression stockings www.bioped.com/products compression_stockings.asp. Compression stockings have a somewhat falsified reputa on that they are ugly brown stockings (o en mes worn only by seniors) without a hint of a stylish note. This impression may have been accurate years ago, but it is not so today. BioPed offers a stylish variety of compression stockings, appealing
for both genders and all personal styles. Our compression stockings are available in an array of colours, pa erns, styles, and levels of sheerness. When you wear these compression stockings, no one will know the difference from regular socks or stockings; you can look great and feel great, too! Compression stockings are useful to relieve and treat a wide range of condi ons. You do not have to be a senior to feel the benefits of compression stockings. Many pregnant women who experience swelling of the feet and legs find relief wearing them, just as someone would if they have a vein condi on or diabetes. BioPed understands that pain can occur for both men and women, people of all ages, and as a result of a wide range of condi ons. That’s why we offer a great selec on of compression stockings that are effec ve, comfortable, discreet and stylish. For added comfort and relief, the team at BioPed can measure you for compression stockings so that they fit you properly and provide the right amount of support you require.

Bus service to replace weekend O-Train until new year Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com
News - City council agreed to shut down the O-Train on weekends until the end of the year so Carleton University can complete delayed construction on its parking garage. Replacement bus service will run between Carleton Station and Lebreton Station on the same weekend schedule as the O-Train – the same replacement bus service that was offered in the summer. The north-south rail transit line was already shut down completely all summer to allow for expansion tracks to be added to the O-Train line to increase service frequency. The timing coincided with the construction of the 615space garage to be built over the line, which runs through the campus. But “despite in-
tense construction activity,” the university did not achieve its main goal of completing a secure tunnel for the O-Train to pass through by the time service resumed in September. City council already approved an exemption to the noise bylaw that allows construction work to continue through the night until Oct. 31. But working at night won’t be enough to allow Carleton to finish the tunnel portion of the garage in time, according to a report from city staff, which recommended the weekend shutdown. Complicating matters is the city’s need to conduct nighttime maintenance and inspections of the O-Train line, which prevents construction of the parking garage from proceeding. Representatives of the university were not on hand when council approved the shut-
down on Sept. 25. The 35-metre wide garage will sit eight metres above the train tracks and span 100 m in length down the O-Train corridor. A city report says the arrangement with Carleton is a good one because it’s the first time the city has successfully negotiated an agreement that maximizes air rights over the O-Train line by providing value to the city. Carleton will pay the city between $415,000 and $450,000 for the right to develop in the space above the city-owned rail line. The exercise was a “lowrisk” opportunity for the city to try out the process and legal agreements it hopes to replicate with future O-Train and light-rail transit air rights deals. The weekend shutdown will take effect on Oct. 12 and ends by Dec. 29.

Owing to the construction of a parking garage over the tracks running through the campus of Carleton University, the O-Train will be shut down on weekends between Carleton and Lebreton stations until the end of December. Expanded bus service will be put in place by OC Transpo for the duration of the shutdown.

Mayor reschedules speech on Ottawa’s transportation future City needed time to mourn after bus-train crash: Watson Laura Mueller

Creative minds Judi Miller, a Kanata resident and textile artist shows off her wares at the Glebe Fine Art sale on Sept. 28.
News - Saying the city was in mourning following a tragic bus-train collision that killed six people aboard an OC Transpo bus on Sept. 18, Mayor Jim Watson canceled a planned speech on the future of transportation in the city. The speech, which has since been rescheduled to Oct. 9, was to coincide with the release of the city’s draft transportation master plan – a blueprint outlining the city’s transit, road, cycling and pedestrian priorities until 2031. “As you are aware, the legislative calendar is quite challenging from now until December, but I felt that we needed time and space to allow our city to mourn and to focus on providing support to those affected by the tragedy,” the mayor wrote in a memo to councillors on Sept. 24. The speech, which was set
to take place on Sept. 23, is expected to have a focus on the city’s plans for where and when to extend light-rail transit, among other transportation topics. The rescheduled speech on the morning of Oct. 9 will be followed by the tabling of the draft transportation master plan at a joint transportation committee and transit committee meeting at 3 p.m. Public information sessions for the transportation master plan (including the plans for pedestrians and cycling) will take place on the following dates between 4 and 8 p.m.: • Oct. 15 at city hall, 110 Laurier Ave. W. • Oct. 17 at the Kanata Recreation Centre, 100 Walter Baker Dr. • Oct. 22 at the Walter Baker Sports Centre, 100 Malvern Dr. • Oct. 24 at the Bob MacQuarrie Recreation Complex, 1490 Youville Dr. The city’s transit commis-
sion will consider the transportation master plan on Oct. 16 – before all of the information sessions have happened. Consideration of all parts of the transporation master plan, including pedestrian and cycling plans, will take place during a Nov. 15 transportation committee meeting. The infrastructure master plan and the Official Plan will be discussed by planning committee on Nov. 8. The city plans to wrap up the concurrent review of its master plans – an exercise the city has deemed “Building a Liveable Ottawa” – when council considers all the plans at once during a Nov. 26 meeting. Council’s approval of the corresponding Official Plan Amendment bylaw would take place Dec. 11. Plans are available at ottawa.caliveableottawa and comments can be submitted by email to planning@ottawa.ca.

Fireman calendar a hot item at care centre Emma Jackson
emma.jackson@metroland.com
Emma Jackson/Metroland
Al Graham gets an autograph from Burt Lamoureux at the Osgoode Care Centre calendar launch on Sept. 26.
News - The Township of Osgoode Care Centre was the hottest spot on the block as it unveiled its much-awaited fireman calendar at the facility on Sept. 26. Firefighters, family members, local business owners and area residents poured into the long-term care home on Snake Island Road to get a first look at the 2014 calendar, which hits stores this week. The care centre’s fundraising committee partnered with volunteer firefighters at Station 91 in Metcalfe to produce the 2014 calendar. Throughout the 12 months, residents and firefighters are pictured in all sorts of situations – some hilarious, some sweet and some downright silly. One month, resident Eleanor Norris teaches a class while two firefighters pass notes under their desks; in another, residents drive off in the truck with the firefighters in hot pursuit. Flipping through the pages, a resident has her cat res-
cued, flowers are handed out and firefighters join residents for a sing-a-long around the piano. Burt Lamoureux, the station’s public education representative, said the guys had an incredible time working with the residents to make the calendar. “We had so much fun doing it, it should have been a Youtube video,” he laughed. He said he can’t look at any of the photos without remembering all the hilarious things that happened on set throughout the five photo shoots. The fact that the calendar will help people in his community only makes it better. “This is the community we all live in,” he said. “Some have us have friends and family who live here.” The care centre has been working to raise $500,000 to upgrade the facility from top to bottom. The centre has printed 1,000 calendars, which are being sold for $20 each. They will be available at the care centre and various stores throughout the region. For more information call 613-821-1034.

Infrastructure charges catch homeowners off guard Laura Mueller
laura.mueller@metroland.com
News - Non-profit groups in Manotick are shocked and worried that they owe the city hundreds of thousands of dollars for sewer improvements. The charges for sewer extensions in Manotick are part of the city’s efforts to finally collect fees known as “local improvement charges” from property owners. “They signed a petition because they needed sewer service and they got it and they’re glad they have it. Now they are finding that they have to pay for it,” said Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt. “They knew there would be a cost,” he said. But the groups didn’t realize they’d actually have to pay it, since they are exempt from property taxes. Moffatt, who was heading the court of revision meeting because the regularchairwoman Coun. Jan Harder was away, committed to working to erase the amounts owed by properties in Manotick village that are exempt from taxes. That includes three churches, the legion hall and Watson’s Mill, which doesn’t have washrooms or potable water. The non-profit seniors’ residence, Hyfield Place, is a similar case and Moffatt will be looking into that. Although it isn’t exempt from property taxes, the city subsidizes half the 30 units as affordable housing. Hyfield Place owes $142,000 for the sewer improvement. The local improvement charges apply to a number of infrastructure improvements across Ottawa that were requested by property owners who agreed to pay for the upgrades because they weren’t warranted for the city to undertake. But while the city has been undertaking local improvement construction for a decade, it never sent the bills to the property owners. City lawyer Tim Marc said the delay is a result of the city focusing on getting the construction done instead of enforcing the payments in a timely manner. “We acknowledge that it should have been done more quickly,” Marc said. While the city made a mistake by not collecting the money soon enough, it doesn’t mean property owners should be off the hook for expensive upgrades the city made at owners’ requests, Moffatt said. “They should be expected to pay for it,” Moffatt said. “I realize it took too long, but that’s the reality of local improvements.” Delays in collecting the fees are “not a fair argument” for residents not

to pay, Moffatt said. “They’re the ones that asked for the work to be done,” he said. “If you’re a regular resident of the City of Ottawa, is that OK for you to then accept that charge because we took too long to charge it to the people who asked for it. So we’ll just let the entire city pay for the work. You’re talking about millions of dollars.” Owners who bought their properties unaware of the extra charge won’t have to pay, however. In June, the city approved a program to provide relief for 73 property owners who should be on the hook to pay the city a total of $1.1 million. The city would absorb that cost instead. The committee agreed that outstanding local improvement charges should be dismissed if the owner bought the property after the infrastructure construction and if the tax certificate did not list the pending charges. Those property owners would also have to sign an affidavit saying they were not aware of the pending charges when they bought the property. At issue now is whether the city should accept a different type of documentation from owners to prove they were unaware of extra charges owing on their property when they purchased
it.
Ron Corbett, a Manotick resident, said the city’s program doesn’t offer “real relief” because real estate agents advise homebuyers to register for title insurance – not a tax certificate. “We did not request a tax certificate,” he told the court of revision. “We have title insurance, which is the norm. “We certainly were not expecting a hidden tax liability that is the same amount as four years of taxes.” That leaves property owners who could benefit from the relief program in a pickle because they don’t have the right paperwork. “Clearly we have a condition that might not be appropriate in terms of capturing the people we were intending to capture,” Moffatt said. City lawyer Tim Marc, with Moffatt’s support, said staff will look at the issue and see if there is a fix that could be brought to council before the end of the year. An important consideration is for property owners who fall into that category to ensure they register for to delay their payments to begin in June of 2014, Marc said, leaving time for the city to work out the kinks in the relief program.

Join us in keeping kids safe Andrew recalls being babysat by his older brothers regularly since his parents were rarely home; they each had two jobs. The family didn’t have a lot of money and so they didn’t have a lot of food; Andrew didn’t even have his own bed sheets. At school, other kids looked at him differently; his clothes were always too big and he didn’t always bring a lunch. Andrew remembers how embarrassed he was and how he would pretend being sick so he wouldn’t have to go. “Anne, my 5th grade teacher is my unsung hero,” Andrew notes. “She was the one who called the Children’s Aid. My parents are not bad people; they never hurt me and always told me how much they loved me. They just needed a little help, and the Children’s Aid was able to do that.” October is Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention month. With circumstances such as Andrew’s, it’s important for the public to be aware of the signs of abuse and neglect. In an effort to reach out to the community, the Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa (CASO) would like to increase the general public’s comfort when thinking of reporting suspicions of abuse or neglect. “People feel it’s hard to invade on parental rights, and they’re naturally hesitant to involve themselves,” says Executive Director Barbara MacKinnon. “When reporting to CASO, it doesn’t mean we are going to remove a child away from their home. It’s about assessing the situation and discovering whether the family may benefit from support services.” More than 90 per cent of cases where CASO become involved, work is done to help the family. “While it’s in the public’s best interest to report on the signs, it’s not their responsibility to determine if a child is being abused,” MacKinnon says. CASO does that for the community. “We want the community to trust that we will do the work to figure out whether additional assistance is needed,” says MacKinnon. “But the first step comes with calling”. The Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa encourages parents to talk about this awareness with their children and invites the community to get involved.
United against child abuse. Wear purple on October 18th and help break the silence.

City’s tallest buildings planned for Lees Avenue area Dense, tall development planned for future light-rail stations laura.mueller@metroland.com
News - The future of Lees Avenue is looking up. A bold new vision for the area around Old Ottawa East and Sandy Hill was presented at city hall on Sept. 24. With light rail coming to the area by 2018, the city is preparing to allow some of the tallest buildings in the city – up to 45 storeys – to pop up around the station. “If you can’t do height here, where can you do it?” said Don Morse, the city planner who designed the plan, referred to as a “transit-oriented development” plan, or TOD. If approved, it would be the tallest buildings the city would allow under its zoning bylaw. The area around Lees already has a few high-rise apartment complexes rising up around 20 storeys, and it also features a satellite campus and sports field for the University of Ottawa, which would be allowed to be redeveloped with
highrises in the future. Claudio Brun del Re, executive director for physical resource services for the university, said uOttawa is currently starting a master planning process and hasn’t defined a future use for those lands, but the school is supportive of the city’s ideas for the area. “There’s a lot of energy there,” Morse said. “With this development, people will know where Lees is.” The plan would put the zoning in place to allow for future development in the long term. It also defines locations for future pedestrian and cycling connections, including a new bridge connecting Clegg Avenue to Hurdman Station. Planning committee will consider transit-oriented development plans for Lees, Hurdman and Blair in December.

of the raised geometry of how the road will have to be constructed. The new road, which has already been approved by city council, would have to be raised above ground on its approaches on either side of the river, and again as it connects with the highway. “I wish it was an intersection at-grade,” Morse said, referring to the future intersection of the Alta Vista parkway and Lees Avenue. “It would be much better if it was built as a main street. I’ve been advised that the geometry wouldn’t work.” As a compromise to the community, which does not want such a road to be built, the neighbouring Springhurst Park would be expanded east and fill the rest of the space to the future road that is currently an empty field zoned for mixed-use buildings.

tended the meeting to make it known they feel it’s a missed opportunity not to allow taller buildings and more density in their neighbourhood. Doug Biesenthal, who has owned a home in the area for around 30 years, said he is in favour of “progress.” “They’re restricting these people here (in Robinson Village),” he said. “If these people (in Old Ottawa East) are going up 20 storeys, why can’t they do it here?” Biesenthal said buildings aren’t the only thing intensification critics could bemoan. “Do they complain about the height of trees in the neighbourhood?” he said. Morse said he sees opportunities for modest intensification in Robinson Village, so the height limits are going up slightly. There are other property owners in the neighbourhood who are against any taller buildings, he said. Another Robinson Village resident, Deanne McLintock, said she was OK with the plan, especially if it means more businesses and shops open up on Lees Avenue and the plan allows for a pedestrian overpass of the highway

Plans for development around Hurdman would mostly allow buildings in the 20-storey range to fill in what is now National Capital Commission greenspace. Lands north of the future light-rail line would likely be developed first, said city planner Cheryl Brouillard. That’s because lands farther to the south, where there is currently a hill, is an old landfill that would have to be cleaned up before development could occur. “It’s going to be a long time before we redevelop that land,” she said. One man who lives in the area but declined to give his name said the amount of density proposed for his neighbourhood looks overwhelming. But he said he’s not too worried about it because it’s very unlikely that those developments would actually happen, at least within his lifetime. “It would certainly change the area,” he said. “I personally don’t think it’s ever going to happen … but you have to have a plan.” The vision also includes the hope for a large public plaza and park at the LRT station that would allow views and connections to the Rideau River and multi-use pathways along it. A new interior road that almost follows the shape of the shoreline would provide access to new developments there. BLAIR STATION
Plans for the area around Blair Station won’t change too much because the major land owner – the Gloucester Centre mall – is not planning any big moves, said city planner Peter Giles. The plan would encourage more residential development to be incorporated into the area around Blair and Ogilvie roads, but it would remain zoned mostly for mixed-use: commercial and residential buildings. There are plans to replace the Ogilvie Road plaza containing a Shopper’s Drug Mart and Dollarama with a new retail and possible office building, but the developer has room to consider a residential component in the future, Giles said. Adding more cycling connections is a main priority around Blair Station, especially raised cycling tracks on City Park Drive, which will likely see more development in the future.

Area children get taste of Disney World magic Annual Dreams Take Flight trip lifts off for day-long Florida getaway Brier Dodge
brier.dodge@metroland.com
News - The classic Cinderella’s castle at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom made the little girls gasp and mouths drop open. “This way to the princesses,” said the guide, an elderly man who told the girls to call him Grandpa Joe. The six little girls, members of a group of children selected to travel from Ottawa to Orlando, Fla., with the Dreams Take Flight program, wasted no time making their way across the amusement park, stopping only to point at the rides and Disney characters. “You look enchanting,” one of the little girls said to Princess Aurora. “It’s so romantic,” said another. The girls were just some of the 110 area children who travelled with Dreams Take Flight, a Canadian program that takes deserving children from a variety of backgrounds on a trip to Disney World. Several children on the Sept. 24 flight had a sibling with autism or their own medical issues. Others live in foster care, or their family’s income prohibits trips like this. But Dreams Take Flight allowed the children to fly, eat, spend a day a day at Disney World and pick out a special souvenir to take home thanks to donations. The program was started
by Air Canada staffers, who volunteer their time – including the pilot who flew the day trip’s plane – to take children in small groups around the park. Most of the kids had never been on an airplane or outside Canada. Many of the children agreed that it was one of the best days of their lives. Hunter Donnelly-McPhail’s mom saved news of the surprise trip for Aug. 18, his birthday. “I couldn’t stand up any longer, I had to sit down,” he said about when he first heard he was headed to Disney World. The flight – his first ever – was almost too much excitement to handle for Hunter, who wants to be a flight attendant. The volunteer flight crew, dressed in Disney costumes, made him an honourary flight attendant for the day. He followed the attendants up and down the aisles as he handed out chips and candy. None of the children had ever been to Disney World, but almost all of them were eager to ride the roller coasters. Splash Mountain was easily the children’s favourite ride. Towards the end of the day, as a train full of Dreams Take Flight kids and volunteers cruised into the end of the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, it was clear that the kids were having a special day, as cheers of “dreams take flight” echoed through the boarding area.
Taequan Moise was all smiles the entire day, from the time he arrived at Disney World waving at the volunteers, to the plane ride home when he was one of the only children awake on the plane ride home. Taequan said he could probably stay home from school to rest after the 20-hour day trip, but he wanted to tell his friends about his day. “I would tell them about the rides, but about the food mostly. Fries, burgers, hot dogs,” he said. The kids had an early start to their day, arriving at the airport at 4 a.m. at a private hangar. They travelled in style, receiving a police escort straight to the theme park once arriving in Orlando. They received VIP treatment: fast passes that ushered them to the front of lines on all the Disney rides throughout the day and a brand new outfit of donated shoes from Crocs and clothes from Mark’s Work Wearhouse. While there were a few skinned knees and tears from first-time flyers, the number of smiles and looks of disbelief far outnumbered any frowns. Many only needed one word – “amazing”, “best” or “great” – to describe their day, a dream come true, as they slowly came down from the sugar high and dozed to sleep on the plane ride home. “It was really, really, really fun,” said Hunter. “From a scale from one to 10, it would be a thousand million. A thousand million and one.”

Mission gives thanks to garden effort 500 kilograms of food donated to organization Michelle Nash
michelle.nash@metroland.com
According to the museum, frogs live almost everywhere, with 4,800 species living world-wide, including 25 species in Canada. The amphibians can live in extreme hot and cold climates. The largest frog can grow up to the size of a human infant and the smallest frog is slightly more than a centimetre long.
News - Gardeners in Orléans having been giving back to the community in truck-loads, for which the Ottawa Mission couldn’t be happier. This past growing season was the second year in a row the Orléans Community Garden donated surplus food to the downtown homeless shelter, delivering a weekly batch of fresh produce. President of the garden, Gina LaPointe would collect, wash and prepare the 150 pounds of fruits and vegetables every Monday night and take them to the Ottawa Mission’s kitchen the next morning. “Every time I would come, I would see smiles,” LaPointe said. The Ottawa Mission formally thanked the community garden on Sept. 26. “People like Gina, like those in this community, are amazing,” said the mission’s chef, Ric Watson.

News - It’s not easy being green - but at the Museum of Nature frogs are showing off just how much fun it can be. The Frogs - A Chorus of Colours exhibit opened at the museum on Sept. 25. The show features 18 species of
frogs living in custom-built habitats and 11 interactive components and games that patrons can enjoy. “This exhibition has been extremely popular since it was created over 20 years ago,” said senior zookeeper Leslie Thompson. Since its creation, the exhibition has travelled to 20 major cities across North America. The Museum of Nature is the only Canadian venue at
which the exhibition has appeared. Among the many species on display are dart poison frogs, tree frogs and a hefty African bullfrog - which weighs almost a kilogram and is the size of a small desert plate. Head of research at the museum, Mark Graham, said he finds the best part of the show is that people have the chance to see the frogs in natural habitats.

Ottawa Mission’s chef, Ric Watson, Gina LaPointe and Orléans Coun. Bob Monette celebrates another successful year of donations from the Orléans Community Garden to the Ottawa Mission.
Natural decision to support non-profit organization Continued from page 31
Over the past three months the community garden has so far donated 540 kilograms of food – and counting. LaPointe said close to 50 per cent of the gardeners donate to the mission, as part of a seed for seed program for which LaPointe signed up the community garden. In the past, the garden had dedicated plots to give to the local food bank, however with the level of volunteers lacking, this program just made more sense. “This works better because everyone is already tak-
ing care of their own plots,” LaPointe said. “People donate their surplus.” The garden has been operating at the corner of St. Joseph Boulevard and Tenth Line for the past seven years. There are 60 plots and 48 families who tend to them. LaPointe said was a natural decision to give to the Ottawa Mission. “It’s an easy way of giving back,” she said. “I do it because I like doing community service.” Watson said he did not realize just how much community service LaPointe offers when it comes to the food.
“All the produce comes cleaned, and it makes it easy to just use right away,” Watson said. The mission said none of the food donated goes to waste and the clients even help LaPointe bring in the food. “Every cook and volunteer looks forward to the delivery,” Watson said. “It has made a huge impact on what we serve at the mission.” The Ottawa Mission serves 1,250 meals a day, and the fresh produce given by the community garden has helped reduce the costs for the nonprofit organization.
News - Katina Michelis had a dream vision of pregnancy. Trendy maternity wear, a healthy glow, and a stress-free pregnancy were just a few of the aspects that came to her mind. Back in 2004, and pregnant with her first child, it was the entire opposite. Battling a rollercoaster of emotions, Michelis found it hard to fall in love with pregnancy, and she knows those expecting their first child can relate. “I hated pregnancy,” she said. “I was miserably all the time and just sick. I felt like nobody was agreeing with me and how I was feeling. I couldn’t breathe; I was throwing up all the time.” With support from friends, family and community organizations, she felt less alone, but knew there were other mothers who probably felt the same
way as she did. And there were. After she had her second child in 2011, she decided to write a book focusing on the emotional rollercoaster that comes with being an expectant mother and raising their baby. Fast forward to 2013, and Michelis just recently celebrated the launch of her first book You’re Pregnant, Now What? “I figure in cases where women find pregnancy a bit hard, as I did during mine, this book might help them, and also push them to seek out more help,” she said. For Michelis, the Ottawa Parent Resource Centre was the place where she found comfort, as well as the realization that she was not alone. The centre pairs Ottawa families with other parents, caregivers, and those who support them. Through the centre, Michelis found out one in five women in Canada will experience
the same symptoms she was feeling about pregnancy. “It’s just in your DNA,” she said. “Some are more prone to depression than others. It’s hard for people to understand that it affects women differently.” “It was more difficult for me because I didn’t have any family or people who were going through the same feelings as I was.” When she was feeling overwhelmed, she would often visit her sister-in-law in Montreal, just to get away for a bit. During the course of her pregnancy, she was astonished to learn there was almost a science behind pregnancy, especially when it comes to hormones. “They need to know that it’s OK to feel overwhelmed,” Michelis added. “There are actually lots of good things about pregnancy. Having a baby is hard work, but it’s OK to ask for help.”

Kids Have Stress Too We think of children as carefree and happy. Sometimes as parents, we forget that our children can suffer from stress too. They may be going to a new school or daycare, getting used to a new routine or they may be watching the news of the recent tragedy in the city and hearing stories about it at school. All of these can make children feel anxious or stressed. It is important to remember that children look to parents to make them feel safe.
How can you help your children deal with stress? • Give them your full attention and listen so you can hear what they have to say. • Empathize with them and help them label their feelings, for example “that must have made you sad”. • Turn off the screens to talk instead. • Talk to them in a calm, soothing voice.
What are some of the ways that children show stress? • Physical signs of stress can include headaches, stomach-aches, changes in appetite, difficulty sleeping and nightmares. • Emotional signs of stress can appear as anger, sadness, crankiness or whining. • Some children withdraw from their usual activities or have poor concentration.
• Show interest in what is bothering them no matter how minor it may seem. • Have young children draw a picture of their feelings. • Spend quiet time together reading, making a craft, or doing a puzzle. Children will often talk about a problem when given the chance. • Have dinner together as a family. • Give them a hug.

Grilled trout and vegetable sushi rolls a tasty dish Lifestyle - Use the rice and fish still slightly warm for best results, and assemble the rolls just before serving to keep the toasted nori wrappers crispy. Serve with a small dish of soy sauce and some additional wasabi. Preparation time: 10 minutes. Marinating time: 30 minutes. Serves four. INGREDIENTS

Soup of the day Soup sisters Mary Clare-Carter, left, Elizabeth White and Paula Roy are pictured with Broth Brother Gabriel Pollock at the Ottawa Farmers Market at Brewer Park on Sept. 29. The group offered free soup to raise awareness about the Soup Sisters project. The newest chapter partners with Grounded Kitchen in Hintonburg to provide soups for Youth Services Bureau shelters. The official launch of the new charitable venture will be held at the Grounded Kitchen on Oct. 28.
• 1 fresh trout fillet, skin on (about 375 g/12 oz) • 25 ml (2 tbsp) soy sauce • 15 ml (1 tbsp) liquid honey • 15 ml (1 tbsp) rice vinegar • 10 ml (2 tsp) wasabi paste • 10 ml (2 tsp) finely minced fresh gingerroot • 300 ml (1-1/4 cups) water • 250 ml (1 cup) sushi rice, well rinsed in cold water • 50 ml (1/4 cup) seasoned rice vinegar • 15 ml (1 tbsp) toasted sesame seeds • 4 toasted nori sheets • 1/2 sweet yellow pepper, thinly slivered
• 1 carrot, thinly slivered • 8 stalks watercress PREPARATION
Rinse the fish under cold water and pat dry. In a shallow dish, combine the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, wasabi and ginger. Add the fish, turning to coat. Refrigerate for 30 minutes or up to two hours. In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the water and rice. Cover and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 12 to 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed. Remove the pan from the heat and let the rice stand, covered, for 15 minutes. Gently stir in the seasoned vinegar with fork. Then divide the rice into four portions and cover with damp cloths. Spray a grill pan or a grill with cooking spray. Remove the trout from the marinade and place skin-side down on the grill over medium-high heat. Cover with the lid closed for one to two minutes. Turn the fish with a spatula, then
cover and cook for two more minutes or until fish flakes easily with fork. Remove the skin and sprinkle both sides with the toasted sesame seeds. Place the sheets of nori on clean dishcloths or a bamboo sushi mat lined with plastic wrap. Dampen your fingers with water and lightly press one portion of the rice into thin layer to cover one sheet of nori, leaving a 2.5 centimetre (one-inch) section at the top edge without rice. Make shallow groove along centre of the rice and place a few slivers of yellow pepper and carrot inside groove. Top with one-quarter of the trout, broken into narrow pieces with your fingers, and a few sprigs watercress. Curl edge of the cloth/mat to help form the toasted nori into cylinder, pressing firmly to enclose filling, then seal the edge with water. Repeat with remaining ingredients to make four rolls. Slice each roll into bite-sized pieces. Foodland Ontario

1,176 members. Dean estimated the cost of changing the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name at more than $100,000. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At $225 per helmet and $1,000 per jersey it adds up pretty quick,â&#x20AC;? he said, adding the Redskins didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to pass along the cost of the name change to parents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Football is one of the only sports where the club provides almost all of the equipment,â&#x20AC;? Dean said. Dean said he hoped to have a new name to announce in December, but the change would likely take the next two seasons. He added the name change would start with the youngest levels â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Mites age five to seven and Tyke, ages seven to nine â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and then move up until every team adopts the new logo, colours and name. The club has 500 players and 60 cheerleaders. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a North American issue, not just a small-town Barrhaven issue,â&#x20AC;? Dean said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But the name brands us, it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t define us.â&#x20AC;?

News - The Nepean Redskins football club will retire its moniker. Club president Stephen Dean announced Sept. 20 that the name would be phased out over the next two or three years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The club came under scrutiny two years ago because there are those in the community that found the name offensive,â&#x20AC;? Dean said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The name of the club and the controversy became the focus of the club and we wanted the focus to be on the sport and the kids. We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want pictures of the kids playing to turn up somewhere being associated with racism.â&#x20AC;? The club was formed in 1978 and the first team that was at the mosquito level was billed as the Barrhaven Buccaneers. It was renamed the Redskins â&#x20AC;&#x201C; patterned after the Washington NFL team â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in 1981. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The name is 35 years old
and predates most of our volunteers,â&#x20AC;? Dean said. Kirk Brant, a Kanata resident, initially contacted the club in 2011 when he saw a billboard on Prince of Wales Drive advertising the Redskins. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was blown away,â&#x20AC;? he said when the campaign to change the name started. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Growing up in Kanata I was usually one of the only native kids in school and when I was called a Redskin there was always a fist behind it.â&#x20AC;? Brant said at the time he was surprised by the attention the issue received. Shortly after Ian Campeau, also known as Deejay NDN from a Tribe Called Red, took up the cause and started a Facebook group called Change the Racist Team Nickname of the Nepean Redskins. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Nepean Redskins will be dropping the name and the logo at the end of the season. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s official. We did it,â&#x20AC;? he posted to the wall of the group that has grown to

Flee for your life at Zombie Run for Humanity Theresa Fritz
theresa.fritz@metroland.com
Community - Get ready to run for your life and for humanity. The first ever Zombie Run for Humanity is set to take place Oct. 19 and the race is a fundraiser for Habitat for Humanity NCR (National Capital Region). Participants are encouraged to put their humanity on the line and race to survive the zombie apocalypse. The race is designed to take humans across some tough terrain in what is being referred to as the ‘infected zone’ but is otherwise known as the Nepean National Equestrian Park at 401 Corkstown Rd. in Nepean. And organizers say the race is not about speed or skill, but survival as humans will come into contact with plenty of zombies along the way looking to infect them. According to run co-founder Susan Vacheresse, she and fellow organizer Ryan Ricci wanted to give something back to the community but neither had ever organized a large-scale event before. With the popularity of
zombie walks and shows like The Walking Dead, the duo thought they might try that approach and see if it clicked with the public. And it has. “We had no idea what we had our hands on,” Vacheresse said. “This appeals to a different demographic. The response is amazing.” Vacheresse said people want to support community causes and this type of event provides a different opportunity for participation. “I’ve always been active in the community as much as possible so I wanted to do something unique. Susan and I decided on the Zombie Run for Humanity as the perfect fit,” added Ricci. “There’s such a strong zombie following today so what better than an event like this?” A realtor by day, Vacheresse said there is nothing better for her than seeing someone get into a new home. So she and Ricci agreed that Habitat for Humanity for be the best organization to benefit from their event. “Habitat for Humanity is such a great cause and we felt we should support them and somehow create a name

Sporting professional makeup, Donna MacAulay channels her inner zombie as she and her mother Susan Vacheresse promoted the Zombie Run for Humanity Wednesday, Sept. 25. The event, a fundraiser for Habitat for Humanity NCR, takes place Oct. 19. for the event that tied in with theirs,” Ricci added. “We’ve been working very hard to make this a huge success and we’re so thankful for the volunteers who’ve been helping us out, especially those from Habitat for Humanity.” The focus of the run is survival. At the start, the human participants will be given an identification number and three flags. The flags are life
and they attract the zombies. The zombies will do everything they can to take the flags. If a human loses all their flags but finish the race, they run with the knowledge they are infected. Zombie participants in infected and are classified by their state of decay. They can be walkers or chasers but their goal it to grab life from the humans.
Vacheresse said the race will be through a five kilometre obstacle course that will take runners through fields, tall grass, woods, obstacles and put them face to face with zombies looking to infect them. “We wanted to appeal to everyone,” Vacheresse said. “This appeals to people who aren’t athletic and people who are...it’s an experience. At the
end of the race, you either survive or you are infected.” And at the end, there is the surprise decontamination chamber experience that awaits those who have been infected. Vacheresse said those details will only come to light at the event. She and her daughter Donna MacAulay spent last Wednesday promoting the event with appearances at Algonquin College and on CTV morning live. MacAulay drew a few stares along the way as she had her zombie makeup professionally done. “I’m starting to hear people talking about it on the streets which is a great thing – (I am) very happy and proud,” Ricci said. “We had no idea the response would be like this,” Vacheresse added. “The generosity we’ve encountered since we started this has been incredible.” While total event participation is being capped at 1,000, there is only room for 150 zombies so those interested in tapping into their creepy side should register early. Human runners and zombies can register online at zombierunforhumanity.com. Until Oct. 9, registration is $35 and after that, it jumps to $45. There is also a Zombie Run for Humanity Facebook page.

A blue mood is nothing to worry about, Aries. It is just your body telling you that you may need to slow down a bit. Take heed and you’ll recharge in no time. Taurus, you are beginning a contemplative phase of life right now, but you won’t have to sacrifice your social life to do so. Take a few days off from socializing and then return. Try to avoid any deep conversations or controversial topics this week, Gemini. Right now it’s best if you focus on more trivial matters and enjoy yourself. Cancer, give yourself more time to figure everything out if you are feeling indecisive about someone. Don’t forge ahead without feeling entirely comfortable with the person. Leo, don’t drop everything you’re working on to address a developing issue at home. Others can handle the situation just as well as you, so keep your focus on preexisting tasks at hand. Virgo, listen to friends and family members when they encourage you to try something new this week. Trust your instincts, as they seldom turn you in the wrong direction.

You have no time for gossip this week, Libra. Your plate is already full at work and at home, so avoid getting caught up in anything that compromises your focus. Scorpio, though it may feel like others are flying past you while you’re slowly plodding along, eventually things will even out and you’ll end up where you need to be. Create some plausible plans for the future this week, Sagittarius. Keep a journal to help you keep track of your ideas and make sense of your plans. Capricorn, your generosity finds you devoting much of your time tending to the needs of others this week. Enjoy your time helping others and don’t be afraid to accept their gratitude. Don’t get too hung up if your week is all work and little play. While your schedule might be hectic in the coming days, some relaxation time will arrive this weekend. Pisces, make the most of new opportunities that present themselves this week. The effort you put in will pay off in due time.

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
