Celebrating 150
Since a Sept. 20 shooting on Caldwell Avenue, pastor R.J. McEwan has spent part of his day knocking on the doors of his neighbours. “Ever since the shooting, I’ve been there every single day,” he said during an Oct. 4 meeting about services available within the community and protocols followed after serious incidents. About 35 people attended the meeting. “I’m sensing, after hearing all the presentations and the incredible work and good intentions, that there’s some sort of a disconnect between the Carlington area and some of its neighbours,” said McEwan who started his own Ottawa ministry in 2016.

Pastor RJ McEwan has spent part of his day knocking on the doors of his neighbours every day since the Sept. 20 shooting in the Caldwell Avenue Ottawa Community Housing Neighbourhood. At a community safety meeting on Oct. 4, McEwan presented what he’s heard from the community.
The community safety meeting, although planned in the summer, comes just weeks after Hamzeh Serhan, 20, was shot in the Caldwell Avenue Ottawa Community Housing neighbourhood on Sept. 20. McEwan has been meeting with mothers, fathers and kids, talking to them, introducing himself and “creating community.” He said the shooting has made some people nervous. “There’s so much within what I’m saying that can’t be solved with one night, but if we are really collectively unified as a community, I think we should see more of the community here,” he said. What he’s hearing from residents is the need for a consistent presence. “Not only on crisis times, but on a regular basis because I’ve learned a lot from these individuals, fathers, mothers just knocking on the doors. I think Carlington is a great community, an amazing community, but somehow we need to take off the badge and really just be there.” In response, River Ward Coun. Riley Brockington, who organized the meeting, said the meeting was not a one-off. Following criticism about host-
ing the meeting in the Alexander neighbourhood instead of Caldwell, he’s planned an informal conversation about community safety with Caldwell Avenue residents on Oct. 17 at 6:30 p.m. at the Bellevue Community Centre, 1475 Caldwell Ave. Police, Ottawa Community Housing and the media are not permitted to attend. His office is also planning a couple of social events in Caldwell specifically before Christmas. “I certainly believe there are chasms between certain members of the community and the police, and certain members of the community, and OCH and certain members of the community and me,” Brockington said. “It’s certainly my goal to improve on those connections between residents and their service providers.” Ottawa Community Housing VP Brian Gilligan said the journey to building community to help increase safety is a long one, and you can’t build it for someone else. “Although staff responded quickly, going around door to door making sure that ... residents have access to services around trauma, we know it’s a longer process.” See UP TO, page 3
Up to 40 emergency calls made after the shooting Continued from page 2
He said some of the community’s strengths were highlighted in the aftermath of the shooting. “It’s a very amazing community … this is a community that actually ran toward the victim to help the victim while the perpetrators were still there,” he said, adding police reported up to 40 calls to 911 within two minutes of the shooting. Residents at a recent march, called out leaders for their inaction in the community before the shooting. Gilligan said it’s a sad reality that this type of incident creates opportunity. “Fear creates anger, anger creates energy and for a period of time we have a window where people are interested in doing things and one of our challenges is trying to seize that energy while it’s there,” he said. This year, there have been two targeted shootings in Car-
lington. The second occurred when shots were fired at the door of a house, according to Ottawa police Staff Sgt. Paul Wilson. So far this year there have been six robberies, two swarmings and 44 break and enters in the community, as well as 51 thefts from vehicles. Wilson encouraged attendees at the meeting to call police if they see anything suspicious or a crime in progress. The same goes for traffic issues. Reports can also be made online. “We need to be engaged with you, and you need to be engaged with us,” he said. Demand for service dictates patrols, so, “Report, report, report; please do it.” Local resident Donna LeShano said she’s lived in Carlington for more than 17 years. “I don’t feel safe in my own home,” she said. After several car break-ins, she visited every single house
on her block to talk to her neighbours and get to know people. She found several others had also experienced thefts from their vehicles, but they didn’t call police. At Brockington’s safety meeting last year, several residents complained that when they were calling, dispatch was brushing them off and making a conclusion that it wasn’t a valid call. Brockington raised those concerns and said some dispatch officers had to be retrained. “Police can’t insist that people call and that all calls are important to then be told by dispatch to be questioned. People will never call back if they have an experience like that,” he said. Reports help crime analysts solve crimes, said Insp. Mike Laviolette. He referenced a recent string of car break-ins in the ByWard

Councillors organize downtown pre-budget consultation BY MICHELLE NASH BAKER michelle.nash@metroland.com
Five downtown councillors are looking for input to help them address important issues in the city’s 2018 budget. Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper, Somerset Coun. Catherine McKenney, Capital Coun. David Chernushenko, Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury and RideauRockcliffe Coun. Tobi Nussbaum will host their second joint budget meeting, #BudgetSpeak2017 at city hall on Oct. 17 from 6 to 8 p.m. Following a format similar to last year’s event, the event will offer residents from all five wards the opportunity to weigh in on issues concerning winter walkability and accessibility, arts, culture and music, social services and housing and reducing carbon footprints. There will be brief presentations by experts on each area of discussion. Last year the event drew 130 people, who talked about affordable transit, social ser-
vices and safe transportation among other things. Nussbaum said he feels the consultation will provide an opportunity for residents to identify what specific budget changes they would like to see. “We have a responsibility as elected officials to create opportunities for residents to participate in the budget process and then use the information gathered to inform our deliberations and decisionmaking,” Nussbaum said. McKenney said she feels this process will help her and her colleagues support their decisions through budget deliberations. After the presentations, Nussbaum said there will be a question and answer period where participants can have their say recorded. There will also be a series of exercises on each theme to provide additional opportunities for feedback that participants can complete. Leiper encourages his constituents to attend. “We’ve heard clearly through this term of council,
the call to build a more sustainable city,” Leiper said. Fleury said he is looking forward to seeing residents from Sandy Hill, Vanier and Lowertown regarding housing, renewable energy, arts and festivals and winter walkability. He added he’s very excited about the meeting and hopes to see many residents in attendance. In addition to this downtown-specific consultation, Chernushenko will host a pre-budget meeting and open house Oct. 12 from 6 to 8:30 p.m. at the Jim Durrell Recreation Centre, 1265 Walkley Rd. He will co-host this consultation with River Coun. Riley Brockington, Alta Vista Coun. Jean Cloutier and Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans. “The meeting is also an opportunity to learn how the budget works, and to learn from city staff about the services offered by various departments,” Chernushenko wrote in his monthly newslet-

Tabled bill would create safe zones around abortion clinics BY MELISSA MURRAY mmurray@metroland.com
In response to a woman being spat on while trying to access an abortion clinic on Bank Street, a provincial bill has been introduced to create safe zones around the medical facilities. Attorney General Yasir Naqvi tabled a bill on Oct. 4, that if passed would create a 50-metre bubble around clinics and facilities that offer abortion services, the homes of clinic staff and the homes and offices of other regulated health professionals who provide the service. To start, the bill would create automatic bubbles around the eight abortion clinics in Ontario. The push for the bill came after reports of increasing harassment of women outside the Morgentaler Clinic on Bank Street. Naqvi said women deserve to access legal health care services, including abortion, without fear for their safety, privacy or dignity and without fear of judgement, being threatened or publicly shamed. Within the bubble zone, anti-abortion protests and activities that would interfere with or intimidate individuals trying to access those services would be prohibited. The penalty would be up to a $5,000 fine and/or imprisonment for up to six months on a first offence. For repeat offenders, fines could range between $1,000 and $10,000 and/or imprisonment of up to 12 months. “That is very disturbing that in this day an age an incident like that took place,” Naqvi said of the spitting – and it wasn’t the only “heartbreaking” story he heard when consulting about the bill.
“That has an incredible chilling effect on any woman thinking about accessing those services. Imagine the vulnerability they feel to even get to the point of walking and saying I’m going to get help and talking to a health care professional,” he said. “I think it’s incumbent upon us to work together and work hard to make sure there is safety for these women.” The zones can be increased to 150 metres through an application process. Hospitals, health centres and pharmacies that provide abortion services can also apply for safe access zones of up to 150 metres. Other provinces, including British Columbia, Quebec and Newfoundland and Labrador have similar laws. The announcement of the bill took place in Ottawa at Planned Parenthood. Catherine Macnab, executive director of Planned Parenthood Ottawa, said they receive calls of women too afraid to go to their appointments and too bothered by the protesters to enter the building. “It’s unfortunate we need legislation to protect people like that,” she said. “People can protest almost everywhere. They are going to be prevented from undermining the rights of other people who are trying to access health care.” The City of Ottawa has a bylaw requiring protesters to be across the street, but it has no teeth, said Somerset Coun. Catherine McKenney. “Our bylaw wasn’t able to stop people from crossing the street,” she said, adding residents felt that the city should be able to stop any harassment of women or individuals accessing the Bank Street clinic. “These incidents were falling

Residents gear up for fight over pond JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
The business case for a massive stormwater pond on National Capital Commission green space just doesn’t fly, said Maria DeFalco, one of the group leading the charge against the city project northeast of Baseline Road and Woodroffe Avenue. The pond is meant to handle runoff from the Baseline light rail station. St. Daniel’s Elementary School is directly behind the land, as is a seniors home. The pond would take half the mass of the green space, DeFalco said. DeFalco, who is a member of the Bel-Air Community Association, has been “living and breathing” the pond issue since December, she said. A recent letter from Transport Canada to the NCC says the proposed pond sits within an area where the airport doesn’t want birds to congregate, due to concerns with them colliding with aircraft. The letter to the NCC, dated July 7, goes on to say that stormwater ponds
have been identified as attractants for geese, gulls and other waterfowl. In an emailed response to Metroland Media, Chris Swail, director of O-Train planning, wrote the city has known about potential issues in relation to proposed pond’s location since January. Swail said a wildlife expert was retained by the city as part of the environmental assessment to assess risks. Airplanes are expected to travel 300 metres above the pond, and gulls and geese typically fly 150 metres over the ground, Swail said. But College Coun. Rick Chiarelli isn’t convinced. “We don’t want fiery crashes over our open sewage pond,” he said, adding birds are the two top causes of airplane crashes. Chiarelli said he didn’t receive notification about the letter to the NCC until a month after it was sent. DeFalco said she hoped the letter would put the brakes on a project that doesn’t make sense to residents.

the water,” she said. “The way it is now, the water will have to make an artificial turn to get into the pond. The water the levels will be low and it will have to be filled (in summer months) to avoid a stench.” DeFalco said excavating the pond could drive out wildlife, which includes a number of monarch butterflies. No help seems to be coming from Transport Canada, however, in an emailed response to Metroland Media from Transport media relations officer Pierre Manoni, it seems the agency is OK with the city’s plans to avoid attracting birds. “Transport Canada will closely monitor the design, construction and post-construction to ensure that mitigation measures and design conditions are respected,” the email reads. DeFalco says next steps will be asking for an audit of the project from the province. The last resort is seeking a judicial review. Defalco, who worked in the city’s parks and recreation department for a number of years, says she has major problems with the public consultation on the project and wants to see a return to a culture of engaging with residents. “This is just another example of a chink in the chain,” she said of recent public projects where residents were left in the dark.

city’s Stage 2 LRT project, as its construction will compensate for the run-off from the future Baseline LRT station.” “As the pond is required to address storm water management requirements for the Baseline LRT Station, its design, approvals and construction have been bundled with the Stage 2 LRT project,” he said. “The (Pinecrest Creek/Westboro) pond is one of the numerous projects being bundled with the LRT expansion, and is considered essential to the project.” But Chiarelli is skeptical. There may have been a reason to expand the storm water system when a light rail maintenance facility was planned at Baseline station. But the station has been substantially built for seven years and little or no increase in footprint is expected now that the maintenance facility is being moved to Moodie Drive, he said. “The only thing left is to bring the Tallwood (Drive) portion (of the light rail station) up to ground level,” he said. DeFalco, who has been working with area residents with expertise in law, engineering and science, said not only does she not believe the pond is needed, but the way it’s being constructed won’t help. “It needs to be on the other side of Woodroffe to go with the flow of

“People were pretty upset,” she said of learning of the project last winter, “but were willing to take it on the chin if there was a discernible benefit.” But no benefit is immediately apparent to her. DeFalco and Chiarelli both said at the first public meeting — held in January – city staff said the rationale for the pond project is a component of the Ottawa River Action Plan. At the next public consultation, residents were told the project was part of Stage 2 light rail — the same argument that was presented at a June environment committee meeting. A memo to council in June compares the capital cost for the stormwater pond and underground storage tanks at the station, putting the price tag at $18 million for the pond versus $8 million for the tanks. “The (river action plan) argument got picked apart when staff said there would be no discernible impact on the Ottawa River,” Chiarelli said. “The pond was first identified as a priority project in the Pinecrest Creek/Westboro (storm water management) ... in 2011,” wrote Alain Gonthier, director of city infrastructure services. Gonthier said the pond is also “an important requirement of the

Johnstons had a common touch
T
he position of Governor General in Canada is largely ceremonial. Granted, the Governor General, as head of state, does have some constitutional powers but these have rarely been exercised. In 1926, for instance, the so-called “King/Byng Affair” saw governor general Lord Byng refuse to call a new election as requested by prime minister Mackenzie King. But just because the post is ceremonial does not mean that it is irrelevant or superfluous. The recently departed governor general David Johnston showed how the position can make a difference, even as a monarchist figurehead in our mostly democratic society. That’s because Johnston, as governor general, managed to bring government closer to the people simply by being a sincere, down-to-earth, regulartype person. He is even a former hockey player and you can’t be more Canadian than that. He talked to many and showed a particular affection for children. Most importantly, he seemed to enjoy his duties and meeting people along the way. It must be admitted that he was anything but a household name when first appointed to the position in 2010, succeeding Michaelle Jean. Sure, he
was an author and university president but he was pretty much under the public’s radar. He simply was not widely known. But perhaps this in some ways was a blessing in disguise as expectations were not high, allowing him to quickly exceed them, to the benefit of all Canadians. His secret weapon, as it were, was not only his charming manner but also his equally outgoing wife, Sharon. It turned out that in the appointment of David as governor general, Canadians got two for the price of one. They worked together, with Sharon becoming a familiar sight at events, both with her husband and often on her own, dispensing her own brand of regal dignity mixed with the common touch. So, we as Canadians have had it fortunate over the past seven years with David, assisted by his wife, handling this post of governor general. He gave the position a likeable dignity which was a winning combination. So, thank you, David, and, yes, Sharon as well, for showing all of us Canadians that the post of governor general is meaningful, not in political power but certainly in people power. They made the position human and relatable. If only all of our elected politicians could do as well!

Letter: Ottawa a great opportunity for Amazon To the editor,
Across North America, cities are sharpening their pencils and putting on their best business attire. As you may have heard, e-commerce giant Amazon is looking for a second headquarters in North America, a massive project the company is calling HQ2. Amazon has triggered a fierce competition amongst cities like Ottawa for a lucrative project that will generate a staggering $5 billion in investments and 50,000 jobs. Once HQ2’s doors open, a majority of employees with have an annual paycheque exceeding $100,000 per year. Whoever lands HQ2 will see a massive boost to the local economy. An entire city will benefit from the spinoff including taxi drivers, restaurants and retailers. Amazon has set out some key criteria in their selection that puts Ottawa in a good starting position. Amazon is looking for a sizable city with more than one million people. They will consider an urban or suburban location, which bodes well for neighbourhoods outside the Greenbelt. The suburban areas are also perfect fit for greenfield development, which means Amazon can build
from the ground up to meet their specifications and a low environmental footprint. With a new-build scenario, the city will need to ensure that the utility infrastructure servicing costs for our business parks are competitive with other competing cities. Fortunately, the city recently did its homework to get a better fix on infrastructure costs for vacant employment lands. Our well anchored high-tech community is a good indicator that we have a stable and business-friendly environment. Ottawa helped build its high-tech reputation as a centre for innovation through research and development. Since 2016, Amazon has operated a relatively small foothold office in Kanata – hopefully a solid testimonial that Ottawa is the place to be. As a high-flying international company, Amazon will need access to a world class airport. Ottawa’s airport continues to earn top marks in its class and currently handles many flights to U.S. destinations with the potential for more. From my perspective, the airport authority always seemed ready to bend over backwards for more flight service options to the airport. The airport’s energy and determination will be critical to secure direct flights to places
like Amazon’s sister HQ in Seattle. Amazon’s long term success will depend on the talent and skills of its people. Ottawa is fertile ground with the highest concentration of scientists and engineers and the highest concentration of tech talent in Canada. Our four post-secondary educational institutions produce some of the best and brightest graduates to help local companies grow and succeed. All levels of government will need to work as a team to beat significant North American competition. In their words, Amazon is expecting an ““expeditious timetable” to achieve Phase 1 in 2019. That’s why our local economic development agency Invest Ottawa was created: to rally the local players to make the important first pitch. Ottawa will need to get its elbows up for a challenge bigger than the NHL’s Battle of Ontario. There are many great potential sites across our city including, attractive prospects in south suburban Ottawa. At the end of the day, given the sheer size of HQ2, any location in Ottawa will help float all boats across the region, province and nation.
I was eating the same things day after day.

Story about ‘bumslug’ teaches children acceptance BY JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com
A west Ottawa man combined his passion for science and art to author and illustrate a children’s book with a message about not judging others for being different. Matthew Kennedy developed the idea for the book while sitting in an airport and wrote the majority of it while pursuing his medical education at the University of Toronto. The story follows Merbles, a “bumslug,” who is judged and rejected by others for having no arms and legs. But it’s his magical excrement that winds up saving the community. “When he does become the saviour of the community, there’s no ‘I told you so,’” said Kennedy. “It’s a non-judgemental, happy resilience in light of the judgment.” The story imparts a message to young readers about not judging others, while also sliding in an education on biodiversity with Merbles' “magical blue bumdrops.” “I’ve got two boys (and) they love that stuff,” said Kennedy, who also has a one-year-old daughter. “(It's) borderline potty humour but tying it in with the worms and the slugs and the disdained kind of insects and creatures — the ones that make it so the beautiful plant life can grow.” A book launch will be held in Kanata on Oct. 7 with children’s crafts and activities, a reading of the story and refreshments — which includes a licensed bar for the adults. All of Kennedy’s original oil paintings, used as illustrations in the book, will be on display, along with a large sculpture of Merbles Kennedy is currently working on. “It will be, hopefully, good for both adults and kids,” he said.
elementary school,” said the father of three. “I also really liked the sciences in high school; medicine was always something I wanted to do.” Kennedy pursued the sciences — receiving a degree in human kinetics and a master’s in biomechanics before enrolling in the University of Toronto’s medicine program. He completed his two-year family medicine residency at the Civic Hospital campus last November, graduating from the University of Ottawa. But art was still a big part of his life. He studied various artists and taught himself techniques over the years, beginning with acrylics before settling on oils. Now with a book under his belt, he can add author to his list of titles. “It’s nice to just let your creativity go,” he said. “Children’s stories offer that.” Merbles is published by Unprecedented Press and available for preorder online at unprecedentedpress.com/shop/merbles.

New international firefighting curriculum unveiled BY MELISSA MURRAY mmurray@metroland.com
A new firefighting curriculum developed right here in Ottawa changes how fires are fought. The international curriculum was unveiled on Sept. 28, and it draws on scientific research to help firefighters when on the scene. Things are changing when it comes to fires. Everything from the way buildings are constructed to how they are furnished impacts how a fire grows. The new techniques aim to keep firefighters safer and will help protect them from exposure to contaminants after leaving the scene, said division chief and project lead Peter McBride. “It is a very practical application of the new information,” McBride said. “We’ve built in new tactics, we’ve built in decision-making and we’ve built in assessment tools of that decision-making.” One example of a change in how firefighters will tackle the blaze is smoke cooling. McBride said firefighters now introduce minute quantities of water into the smoke. “It doesn’t make steam, it actually contracts the mass so you can see better,” he said.
The process dilutes the smoke, which could have fuelled a fire and can ignite as firefighters move in. “That could become a big fire. We need to control that and that’s significantly different.” There’s also a more defined protocol for contaminants. “The No. 1 killer of firefighters is cancer,” McBride said. So in developing the new curriculum, they tracked the dirt and contaminates. It’s simple, but now it’s in writing. Firefighters are to change their clothes and take a bath, he said. “We’ve built in something called operational hygiene so it’s innovative and it’s been implemented in countries all over the world.” The curriculum will be online and available for free to anyone who wants it. According to a press release, the project was funded through the Department of National Defence’s Canadian Safety and Security Program and led by Ottawa Fire Services, which worked with the National Research Council, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, fire services from Montreal, Halifax, Calgary, New York City and experts from 13 different countries.
Melissa Murray/Metroland
Called from Knowledge to Practice, a new international firefighting curriculum was unveiled in Ottawa at the Carling station on Sept. 29. Starting on Oct. 16, it will be introduced to Ottawa’s chief firefighters over a two-week period and then in the new year, there will be a training schedule for existing firefighters to learn the material. McBride said it could take up to two years for that process to be completed.
It was three years ago that Ottawa Fire Services began the process of developing the document. “This program has provided excellent training for our firefighters and has left Ottawa fire services with expert knowledge about the new curriculum,” said Mayor Jim Watson at the launch.
“Those firefighters know full well that there’s been significant changes in the way that firefighters fight fires and rescue people, and this curriculum really goes a long way to ensure that our firefighters have the best training possible for their safety and the public’s safety.”

Follow the Yellow Brick Road with Dorothy and all of her friends to the Halloween Dance Party on Marion Dewar Plaza, where you can trick or treat and dance with more costumed characters. Take a ride on the GT Express, decorate your very own mini-pumpkin or be wowed by the outdoor magic potions lab and show. Inside City Hall you can enjoy hot chocolate and treats in the Hocus Pocus Café.
It has been a busy year for Jane Gibson. She got married, got a new puppy and got an answer about why she couldn’t catch her breath. She’s not letting that diagnosis, idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension, slow her down. “It can be invisible. I don’t look like I have this chronic and life-threatening disease but I do,” she said. The rare disease, affecting between 2,000 and 10,000 Canadians, impacts both the heart and lungs, leaving people with PAH gasping for air and tiring quickly. “I was noticing some issues, I couldn’t play hockey very well. I couldn’t bend over to pick things up off the floor. If I brought in groceries and I would be out of breath.” She thought it could just be sports induced asthma, or that she was just out of shape, but with some prodding, she got checked out at the Ottawa Hospital’s General campus, before being referred the next day to the University of Ottawa Heart Institute. Gibson, who was diagnosed last November at age 26, considers herself one of the lucky ones. Because PAH is hard to diagnose. “So within a week we had the right heart catheterization, which confirmed that this was pulmonary hypertension,” she said. What happens during the procedure is a doctor guides a small hollow tube to the right side of the heart and into the pulmonary artery. The artery carries blood to your lungs and the pressure determines whether patients have PAH.
There’s no known cause, but it means Gibson’s arteries in her lungs are closing up, causing the heart to work harder. Left untreated it can lead to heart failure and death. Dr. George Chandy, co-director of the University of Ottawa Heart Institute’s pulmonary hypertension clinic, said if left untreated PAH can lead to death in just two-and-a-half years. With the advent of more modern treatments and different medications, patients are living longer. If those don’t work, lung transplants, considered a cure for PAH, can be considered. Though, a new pair of lungs doesn’t last forever, more like five to 10 years. But not all medications are available in each province, or covered by provincial health care. So access to treatment isn’t universal. That’s not uncommon for rare diseases, Chandy said. It has to do with the cost drug. If only a few hundred people need a certain medication, the cost can be much higher, as opposed to something like a flu shot. “Access to drugs can be sketchy across Canada,” he said. Chandy, as well as his patients, including Gibson, advocate for better access to treatments. “We have a situation where some patients are covered and for others that might not be covered that drug might be the best for that individual,” Chandy said. He knows of patients that have moved to Quebec for precisely that reason – better access to medications. “It puts patients in an interesting situation of inequity of care in a public system.” See WALK, page 18
Notice of Study Commencement Vanguard Drive Extension Environmental Assessment Study Project Overview The City of Ottawa has initiated an Environmental Assessment (EA) study to develop a Recommended Plan for the extension of Vanguard Drive from Lanthier Drive to Mer Bleue Road. Study Area

According to Allen Lalonde, senior innovation executive with IBM Canada, the IBM Innovation Incubator Project is already seeing success with small- to medium-sized enterprises making quick progress of growing and competing in the global marketplace. The project was officially launched at Bayview Yards on Sept. 29.
IBM Innovation Incubator project officially launched BY MELISSA MURRAY mmurray@metroland.com
About a year after the IBM Innovation Incubator Project launched, it’s already making a difference for small- and medium-sized enterprises. Allen Lalonde, senior innovation executive with IBM Canada, says it’s critical for Ottawa to participate in the innovation agenda and connect startups with the rest of the world. The program launched with money from IBM and the provincial government; it amounted to a $54-million project aimed at helping 500 startups. “We’ve seen success, after success, after success,” he said of the project, which is in five innovation hubs in the province. IBM also opened two of its own hubs in Toronto and Hamilton. He spoke at the official launch at Bayview Yards on Sept. 29. The IBM Innovation Incubator Project aims to give participating businesses access to IBM’s resources, including business technology, cloud-based development
platforms, physical space and customers to grow startups and help with access to the global marketplace. The project is expected to help startups create up to 2,600 jobs by 2020, according to a provincial government press release. “Though we are launching today in Ottawa there are already a handful of companies, some of which you heard from today, who are already here and already taking advantage of the program,” Lalonde said at the launch. Change Jar, a mobile cash platform, applied, was interviewed and accepted for a spot at the innovation hub in Toronto. Tom Camps, chief executive officer of Change Jar, said it’s the access to technology, expertise and relationships that fast-tracked his company. “To have access to that kind of network now in the city of Ottawa, I think it’s going to make a big difference to startups,” he said. “We have a global story now, and we didn’t before. You can’t do that on your own.”
Lalonde said the project is already running ahead of schedule. Originally it was thought it would take three years to reach all 500 startups. “We’re already talking about ‘How do we make this bigger, better and broader?’ We have new needs, emerging opportunities, new programs and investments, both at a federal and provincial level,” Lalonde said. Ontario Centres of Excellence oversees the project and co-ordinates industry partnerships to help lead startups in the right direction. “We are honoured to host the IBM Innovation Incubator Project, which will provide more tools, technology and substantial support, which in turn will help Ottawa companies grow. Invest Ottawa and Bayview Yards are privileged to have OCE and IBM Canada as partners, as their continuing collaboration helps solidify the city’s reputation as Canada’s top tech hub,” said Mike Tremblay, president and chief executive officer of Invest Ottawa and Bayview Yards, in a statement.
The EA study limits for the extension of Vanguard Drive will extend from Lanthier Drive in the east to Mer Bleue Road in the west. The Study Area as shown in Figure 1 will cover a broader area extending westerly to west of Frank Bender Street and easterly to Tenth Line Road, to address environmental impacts, operational issues and to co-ordinate with relevant on-going studies and projects. This ensures that a reasonable range of alternatives can be developed and assessed. Rationale for Extension of Vanguard Drive The Official Plan, as amended by Official Plan Amendment (OPA) 150, identifies the westerly extension of the Vanguard Drive on Schedule EA as a future east-west collector road. The existing Vanguard Drive is an east-west collector road with an urban cross-section that runs between the arterial road Tenth Line Road and the local road Lanthier Drive. In September 2016, the City of Ottawa Planning Committee established a strategy and work program for the construction of the Vanguard Drive extension to support economic development of the South Orléans Business Park. The EA study will identify and protect a corridor for the roadway extension. Study Process The study is being conducted in accordance with Ontario’s EA Act, fulfilling requirements as a Municipal Class EA process for a Schedule C project. The City must consider alternative designs for the project, undertake public and agency consultation, assess the potential environmental effects of the Recommended Plan and identify measures to mitigate any such impacts. As part of the study process, an Environmental Study Report (ESR) will be prepared for public review. Following the public review period, the project will be considered to have EA approval and may proceed to implementation once funding is in place. Study Timeline The EA process will include a consultation program involving many stakeholders, including the City of Ottawa, the Government of Ontario, the Government of Canada, and other approval and regulatory agencies, local community associations, businesses and institutions, special advisory and interest groups, and members of the general public. The study is expected to be completed by late 2018. Get involved! You are encouraged to participate in the study by attending consultation events or by directly contacting the study team with information, comments or questions. Updated project information may be posted periodically on the study website. The study will also have the benefit of input from agency, business and public consultation groups that will meet at key points during the study. Two open houses will be scheduled throughout the study as an opportunity for interested persons to learn about the study and provide input. Notifications for the open house will be provided through local newspapers, emails to the study mailing list and postings on the website.

The provincial government is establishing an emergency task force to grapple with the continuing opioid crisis, Health Minister Eric Hoskins announced Oct. 3. Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod, speaking on Facebook Live, said the move wouldn’t have been possible without people like Kanata parent Sean O’Leary, who leads a group called We the Parents — which advocates for teens who are addicted to opioids and the family of Nick Cody. MacLeod introduced Nick’s Law — honouring a young constituent of hers that lost his life to opioid addiction several years ago — in the legislature on Oct. 3. “His mom and dad, Natalie and Steve, made a tremendous impact,” MacLeod said of the family speaking in the legislature. “The government has acknowledged there’s a crisis and it’s all hands on deck.” The government’s task force will be composed of front-line workers and people with lived experience. The aim is to bring together stakeholders
in harm reduction, addiction medicine and community-based mentalhealth services. As a first step, all public health units in the province will be provided with constant and up-to-date public education materials to support their efforts in the community. The task force will drive the public education campaign. “Opioid overdoses are preventable and with more awareness and education youth will have a better understanding of how lethal opioids like fentanyl and carfentanil are (sic),” MacLeod wrote in a press release. Nick’s Law proposed allocating 10 per cent of the province’s $57 million advertising budget be used on public education to increase awareness of the dangers of drugs like fentanyl, she added. As part of the provincial education campaign, pharmacists will provide information for an insert on the possible health risks of opioids and where people can access support services. The inset will be provided to anyone filling a prescription for opioids.

Walk for Breath fundraiser planned for Nov. 4 Continued from page 14
Chandy said the key to PAH is early diagnosis, continued research and funding, as well as effective treatment. Modern medicine means patients are living longer and the clinic at the heart institute is growing. Gibson is on two treatments, which she said has greatly improved her quality of life, allowing her to continue to play softball, and hopefully get back to playing hockey as well. “When playing softball it’s quite OK if I hit a pop-fly and the other team catches it and that means I don’t have to run as much,” she said. “I’m not going to let this diagnosis ruin my life. I’m going to try to push forward.” Her private insurance helps pay for the medications, but without it, she could be paying $50,000 per drug per year.
“It could be just shy of $100,000, which is ridiculous.” The medications have reduced her chest pains and heart palpitations. But she still has regular appointments that include a six-minute walk test. “Life goes on,” she said. Gibson is now fundraising for the Pulmonary Hypertension Association of Canada, which supports research into the rare disease. The group is hosting a 6-Minute Walk for Breath campaign at the heart institute from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Nov. 4. It’s the same practical test used in the assessment of patients with cardiopulmonary diseases, including hypertension, and is the same test Gibson undergoes on a regular basis.

Ethel cuts her visit short
E
thel was just one of the many people who came to visit the farm in Northcote, and no one was ever sure how she was connected to the family. The first time she came, suitcase in hand, Father said he never saw her before in his life. And certainly Mother, who hadn’t been on the farm that long, didn’t know who she was either. However, she came bag and baggage one day in the early Fall, claiming to be related on Father’s side of the family. She wasn’t about to give particulars, just saying, “we’re kin you know...and we go way back.” Ethel claimed to live in Pembroke. But Father said he was pretty sure he didn’t have any relatives there. However, none of that seemed to matter. Ethel was here, and she planned on staying. I was delighted. I loved company. The only problem was my sister AuFOR SALE

MARY COOK Memories drey and I had to give up our bed, and sleep on the creton couch in the kitchen. It was too narrow to sleep side by side, so we had to sleep foot to foot, which didn’t please Audrey one bit. It was soon pretty obvious to everyone Ethel hadn’t spent much time on a farm before coming out to Northcote. It was a warm day for Fall, and Mother had the kitchen window wide open, looking out onto the grape arbour. When we sat down for supper, Ethel wondered what that strong smell was. We all looked at Father. He took his merry time to reply, chewing what he had FOR SALE

in his mouth first. “That’s plain manure. We spread it out on the fields. What did you say your name was again?” “It’s Ethel, as you well know, Albert. And does that smell go away?” Father said, “Yes, when the snow comes.” Ethel just picked at her food, and more than once took her hanky out of her sleeve and covered her nose, pretending to wipe. And then there was the question of the Gerry pot under her bed. She had two choices, use it when the need arose during the night, or pick her way downstairs, out through the summer kitchen and over to the outhouse. She told Mother she couldn’t imagine anyone not having a bathroom with a flush-toilet. Of course, she also commented on the old copy of Eaton’s catalogue that hung from a nail inside the outhouse. Mother told Ethel it took some getting used to when she moved from New York FOR SALE

too, which didn’t help the situation one bit! Ethel was used to laying in bed in the morning, she told us when she climbed the stairs. Well, she was sure in for a surprise when Father could be heard in the kitchen starting the fire in the Findlay Oval the next morning. Mother said later, he did it on purpose. But he banged the stove lids, hit the poker against the wood box, and made so much noise you would have had to be stone deaf to sleep through the racket. Ethel had no choice but to get out of bed with the rest of us. It wasn’t a good start to the day. Ethel smoked cigarettes, which I thought gave her a touch of elegance. And after breakfast was cleared away, she headed outside, “To take a look around,” she said. Well, you could hear the screams in Admaston. Mother rushed to the door, to see Ethel tearing across the yard heading for the back door, and the old gobbler hot after her. He was a mean one alright, and so he was seldom let out of the pen. FOR SALE
FOR SALE
He would chase anyone who came within a country mile of him, and he could run like the wind. Well, Ethel decided she had better get back to Pembroke, and if Father would just drive her to the station, she’d be on her way. To me, he seemed only too delighted to oblige. Her long-stay visit lasted exactly one day and one night. When Father got back, Mother wondered how the old gobbler got out of the pen. Father blew smoke out of his pipe, pushed his straw hat to the back of his head, and said, “I knew that old bird would be useful some day. Even the turkey hens will have nothing to do with him. And he must have figured out how to open the pen gate all on his own.” And he threw back his head and laughed. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Research linking brain and heart health receives $100,000 prize STAFF
Research exploring the link between brain health and heart health in teens recently received a $100,000 prize. On Oct. 5, Dr. Benjamin Goldstein received the Royal-Mach-Gaensslen Prize for Mental Health Research at the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre, according to a press release. His research looks at the relationship between bipolar disorder and heart health in teens. “My hope is to get to adolescents early; we want to reduce the number of poor outcomes. One thing that particularly drew me to the treatment of bipolar disorder is there is the capability to lead a totally fulsome life if symptoms are properly controlled,” said Goldstein, a clinician scientist at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, in a press release. Goldstein’s research shows patients with bipolar disorder are more likely to develop cardiovascular disease and it happens early. For teens with bipolar disorder, the consequences of being sedentary or having untreated risk factors for heart disease increase. Other risk factors including diabetes and obesity negatively affect mental health and the ability to
treat bipolar disorder. His research aims to find new insights about the causes of bipolar disorder and how the treatments that help with heart disease also help to reduce the symptoms of bipolar disorder. Those treatments include a proper diet, exercise and medications. “The world has moved from the

belief that mental illness is all in your mind to recognizing it is in your brain. We’re taking it a step further and saying that mental illness could be a multi-system disease that affects both brain and body,” said Goldstein.

Dr. Benjamin Goldstein was awarded the Royal-Mach-Gaensslen Prize for Mental Health Research for his work linking bipolar disorder and heart health in teens on Oct. 5. Pictured are George Weber, president and CEO of the Royal; Goldstein, 2017 recipient of the Royal-Mach-Gaensslen Prize for mental health research; Dr. Zul Merali, president and CEO of the Royal’s Instiute of Mental Health Research; and Scott McLean, chair of the Royal’s board of trustees. The link between mind and body could also help with stigma, he said. “We want to find evidence that proves it’s not all in your head.” The prize was created in 2015 and

Microchips will not fade or be lost over time. Owner information can be accessed electronically and immediately, ensuring the speedy return of a lost pet. While tags may be lost from time to time, tags are still important as a quick and visual way of identifying your pet. The OHS holds monthly microchip clinics and the next one is coming up on Oct. 15 from 9 a.m. to noon. The cost is $50 for the first pet and $25 for each additional pet — a small price to pay for a lifetime of security. For more information, call 613-725-3166 ext. 221 or email microchip@ottawahumane.ca.
Nominations open for Canada 150 awards in Ottawa Centre BY MELISSA MURRAY mmurray@metroland.com
Thirty deserving Ottawa Centre residents will soon take home a bit of Parliament Hill. To celebrate Canada 150, Ottawa Centre MP Catherine McKenna is handing out the Canada 150 Sesquicentennial Pin — which contains part of the original copper that covered the roofs of Centre Block from 1918 to 1996 to individuals who best exemplify the Canada 150 themes: diversity and inclusion, reconciliation with Indigenous peoples, environment and youth. The pins have quite a backstory. According to Canadian Heritage, the Ottawa-Carleton Association for Persons with Developmental Disabilities (OCAPDD) was gifted copper roofing in 1996, and the organization used some of it for different fundraising projects and crafts to support social and developmental support programs
for its members. The OCAPDD program is called Under One Roof. Tonnes of copper were donated by the federal government and the same amount was stored in a Public Works warehouse in Hull, according to the organization’s website. But the government’s copper stored in the warehouse was stolen. So, for this year, Minister Melanie Joly requested that Canadian Heritage create an exclusive pin for MPs and senators to give out to their constituents to mark the year. The Canada 150 Federal Secretariat with the collaboration of the Ottawa-Carleton Association designed the pin — which uses the oxidized copper to make the shapes of the Canada 150 maple leaf logo. In total 10,000 pins were produced. It’s a small piece of that Canadian history that McKenna will be handing out. McKenna is looking for 10 youth employers, 10 youth and 10 community builders
in Ottawa Centre to recognize. “These pins are very cool,” McKenna said. “It’s especially special for people who live in Ottawa Centre because parliament is in the riding.” McKenna’s youth jobs advisory council will pour over the nominations for youth employers and she’ll pick the youth and community builders based on how they fit with the federal government’s themes for the year. “The purpose of the pins is to recognize and thank Canadians that embody the Canada 150 themes in our own communities to celebrate 150th anniversary of Confederation,” McKenna said. “It’s really important to me that people feel part of it and are thinking about the people who are making Ottawa awesome.” Nominations are due on Oct. 31 and can be completed online. For more information about the awards, visit cmckenna.liberal.ca/page/canada150-awards.

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!
