Residents reject apartments on Eden Avenue BY MELISSA MURRAY mmurray@metroland.com

Residents in the area of 404 Eden Ave. argued that replacing a single family home with a 13-unit apartment building “ruins the neighbourhood” at a public meeting on Oct. 12. Eden Avenue is a one-

way street located between Richmond Road and Byron Avenue in Westboro. The plan includes the creation of nine underground parking spaces and is four storeys. It requires the city to pass a zoning change or exemption to allow for extra density. See LEIPER, page 4

About 7,700 people completed a survey on the proposed sites for the Ottawa Hospital’s new Civic campus. According to Jasmine Leduc, strategic communications advisor for the National Capital Commission, more than 400 people attended the open house at the Canadian War Museum and 7,695 people responded to the survey that closed on Oct. 6. “We are very pleased with the level of community engagement on The Ottawa Hospital federal site review to date,” Leduc wrote in an email. The results of the survey will form part of the evaluation of each of the 12 sites for the hospital. Kate Eggins, communications specialist for the hospital, said in a statement the hospital is committed to the NCC’s process. “Our responsibility, as the region’s leading health-care provider and only trauma centre, is to ensure the NCC, stakeholders and the public have all of the necessary information to make a decision that reflects the health-care perspective. We are very pleased there were 7,700 responses to the NCC’s survey.” She added, “the new Civic Campus is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our community that will ensure the hospital can provide 21st Century health care in the nation’s capital for the next century.” The consultations are part of the process the commission undertakes on its projects. Most recently, the NCC underwent extensive consultations on the development of LeBreton Flats. During that consultation, 7,939 people completed a survey. More than 3,000 people attended the open house and presentations, or viewed the webcast, according to the NCC’s

consultation report. While the number of participants in the LeBreton Flats consultations exceeded that of the hospital project, Leduc warned against comparing the two projects. “Both are unique,” she said. “I wouldn’t be comparing the two,” she said. “We are pleased with the outcome of the consultations; they have been very successful to date,” she added in an interview. There were also consultations with specific stakeholders, including Parks Canada, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, the City of Ottawa, Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-term Care, the hospital, local health integration network and more. A recommendation on the preferred site will be presented to the NCC board at its Nov. 24 public meeting. At that meeting, the final public consultation report will be made available. The 12 sites under consideration include: • Tunney’s Pasture off Scott Street • Lincoln Fields, near the Pinecrest Pathway • The north side of West Hunt Club Road near Highway 416 • The south side of West Hunt Club Road, near Highway 416 • Woodroffe Avenue near West Hunt Club Road • The Merivale Road, Woodroffe Avenue corridor • Central Experimental Farm – Carling Avenue (west) • Central Experimental Farm – Carling Avenue (central) • Central Experimental Farm – Carling Avenue (east) • Central Experimental Farm – near Baseline and Merivale roads • Booth Street complex • The existing Ottawa Hospital Civic campus

Tulips aplenty in River Ward BY MELISSA MURRAY mmurray@metroland.com

Come spring, River Ward will be blooming. With one of 150 Celebration Gardens planted across Canada, and the help of local councillor Riley Brockington, red and white tulips will be popping up across the ward. When Brockington heard about a special tulip created especially for the sesquicentennial, he put in his order for 1,000 of the special red and white bulbs. “When I picked them up they had pages and pages of orders,” Brockington said of the flower’s popularity. Brockington will be distributing the bulbs to residents in every community of his ward. The first recipient of a bag of 10 of the bulb with red flames created especially for the sesquicentennial was Natalia Zubkova, of Staten Way in Central Park. Zubkova was recently recognized for her gardens and along with a certificate received the bulbs from Brockington. He’ll also be handing out the tulips at future community safety

SUBMITTED/OFFICE OF COUN. RILEY BROCKINGTON

Coun. Riley Brockington presented Natalia Zubkova of Staten Way in the Central Park community with a certificate of appreciation for her flower gardens at her residence. The councillor annually recognizes residents with exceptional floral displays. This year’s recipients are receiving a bag of 10 Canada 150 Tulips along with their certificate. nights and other events in the next few weeks so residents can get them in the ground before the hard frost. “I fear the demand will exceed the supply.” “It’s a small way to help beautify River Ward,” Brockington said of the initiative, which was paid

for though his office budget. The 1,000 bulbs cost about $400. The tulip bulbs are just the kickoff for getting River Ward ready for the country’s 150th birthday in 2017. Brockington is also encouraging small groups that might need a little financial help for Canada 150

celebrations to reach out. He’s setting aside some money for small grants for grassroots groups planning to celebrate in a big way. “It’s all about community, churches, school groups are all highly encouraged to celebrate. It’s a year-long party,” he said. The city estimates about 1,200 events will be held to celebrate the milestone next year. “We want to remind local groups and encourage them to join the celebrations. It’s not a party that’s just happening in downtown,” Brockington said. The National Capital Commission will have 300,000 Canada 150 tulips in its flowerbeds with thousands more in community gardens across Canada. One garden celebrating with its own thousand tulips is located at Embassy West Senior Living, located at 1400 Carlington Ave. The garden was planted on Oct. 14. Embassy West Senior Living received one of 150 Celebration Gardens being distributed across Canada by the Canadian Garden Council. The garden contains 1,000 red and white bulbs. “We feel very fortunate,” said Selma Basic, executive director of operations of the senior’s facility, in a press release on being chosen out of 400 applications received by the Canadian Garden Council.

Leiper won’t support proposal Continued from page 1

Currently, maximum density allows for a triplex. According to Brian Casagrande, a principal and director of planning and development for Fotenn, a development firm, the building will provide a transition from the development on the corner to the single-family home next door. “This is not what I signed up

for 24 years ago,” Tammy Stewart said during the meeting. Stewart lives in the house located right beside the proposed apartment building. “What does that do to the rest of the neighbourhood? What happens if everyone with a piece of property builds something like that and ruins the neighbourhood,” she said. Casagrande reminded residents each of them have the

right to build a similar development on their property or one that fills out the site even more than the one proposed. “I know you don’t like it, but when you look at these consider we are mitigating the impacts,” Casagrande said. A few changes were presented during the meeting, including a greater setback from the avenue, more amenity space and a reconfigured access to the

CANADIAN DIAMOND CELEBRATION

property from the neighbouring Elvis Lives Lane. Karl Toompuu noted the development really hadn’t changed much since the last public meeting. Another resident questioned the use of Elvis Lives Lane, saying it isn’t safe. “This looks good on paper, but people in this room, they live their lives here, and the paper doesn’t translate to the same quality of life,” he said. But putting more traffic on the lane, would reinforce its function, said Casagrande, meaning some of the current issues of people blocking the lane would have to stop. Jordan Tannis, the owner of the site, reminded residents the lane would be widened for increased functionality. Residents also raised concerns about the precedent such a zoning change would create for future developers. “What makes Westboro great is the exceptional backyards,” Toompuu said, adding

SUBMITTED/FOTENN PLANNING AND DESIGN

The design of the proposed development at 404 Eden Ave. is intended to look like a semi-detached building. This illustrations shows the permitted heights on neighbouring properties. “Residents in Westboro are really pissed off with intensification,” Leiper said, adding most infill projects see opposition from residents in the ward. On top of the proposals, he said community infrastructure projects are not keeping pace, including money for parks, pools and traffic calming. He’s hoping city planners will not recommend the project when it comes before councillors at planning committee.

residents can walk to a main street. “It seems like they are taking something massive and shoving it into this spot on the shortest street in Ottawa that people live on,” he said. Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper said he is opposed to the project and was hoping to see the proponent reduce the number of units. Leiper said the project is too dense for that area.

130 participate in urban area budget consultation BY MELISSA MURRAY mmurray@metroland.com

About 130 people came together at city hall to talk about affordable transit, social services and safe transportation, on Oct. 13, as part of the public consultations taking place around the city’s 2017 budget. The event, which featured short presentations and then time for groups to brainstorm on specific issues before the room regrouped and shared

ideas, was hosted by the city’s five urban councillors: Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury, Rideau-Rockcliffe Coun. Tobi Nussbaum, Somerset Coun. Catherine McKenney, Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper and Capital Coun. David Chernushenko. At the outset, participants were reminded the councillors only represent five of the 24 votes on council. “Even if all five of us advocated and thought the work you did was the most

genius thing ever done we can’t promise it will be executed in the 2017 budget,” said Nussbaum. “But the work that you are doing is work we think about and advance every single day. This isn’t just about the budget … that’s not the end of the story.” During the roundtable discussions, participants focused in on one of the three topic areas.

Do you have good hearing but find listening tiring? reduce the cognitive processing needed to understand speech.

Research has shown that even people with minimal hearing loss find listening to be tiring. Swiss based hearing aid technology can help by limiting the effort needed by the brain to understand speech. Listening and understanding speech are an important part of everyday communications. However, this can be challenging for people with normal hearing, and even more trying for people with hearing loss. Many of our everyday environments are not ideal. Poor acoustics, lack of visual cues (e.g. on-the phone or talking from another room), muffled speech, and background noise limit our ability to understand speech. This results in asking people to repeat themselves, straining to hear, and possibly avoiding group discussions. A rising field of study by hearing researchers is listening effort. This can be defined as the amount of cognitive resources that are being used to process and understand speech. Research suggests that continued listening effort is linked to

Listening effort may be reduced for some clients through the new rechargeable Phonak Audéo B-R hearing aids.

A person who is straining to hear is using more brain power to understand speech. The more brain power needed, the more tired that person is going to feel.

New clubhouse coming for whitewater facility BY MICHELLE NASH BAKER michelle.nash@metroland.com

Ottawa’s best-kept secret has a little bit more breathing room for its athletes. The Pumphouse Whitewater facility is tucked away between Booth Street and Bronson Avenue, behind Albert Street. For the past 40 years, after a group of dedicated paddlers cleaned up the riverbed and shoreline at the base of a city-run pumphouse, they have used it as an artificial water slalom course for Ottawa and area canoe and kayakers. In 1983, the group incorporated as the Ottawa River Runners and since that time, that group of volunteers have been changing and storing boats in shipping containers placed on National Capital Commission land, next to the river. It wasn’t the best of circumstances when 20 years ago the NCC approached the group,

to see if they would like to have something more permanent at the site. So, for the past 20 years, the club has been working at finding both the means and funds to build a clubhouse and on Oct. 11 it was announced that the wait is finally over. “Two decades of shipping containers is over,” said Richard van Gellswyk of the Ottawa River Runners. Plans for the new Barry J. Hobin-designed clubhouse and storage facility were unveiled at a ceremony, and van Gellswyk said the facility will be in place by December and ready for spring and summer programming. Once in place, van Gellswyk said the new structure will not only give the club more storage space, but also the ability to grow its programming. The new clubhouse will be right next to the riverbed, on the Bronson Avenue side, accessible either by taking Booth to Fleet streets and walking,

or Commissioners Avenue and parking next to the NCC pathway. Either way, once avid paddlers arrive, the club said that the existing flimsy changing spaces and the need to step over boats will become history. “No longer will we have to stand behind a shower curtain, clutching a towel while we change,” said Alison Smedley, who has trained and coached at the site for the past 18 years. “This means so much.” To celebrate the news, and to not lose momentum on a project that has taken more than two decades to see come to fruition, the Ottawa River Runners held a ceremonial ground breaking with local politicians, including Mayor Jim Watson, Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi and Ottawa Centre MPP Catherine McKenna, as well as Olympians Cameron Smedley and Michael Tayler who have used the site as their Olympic training grounds.

Rio Olympian Michael Tayler (left), Ottawa River Runners Doug Corkery and Olympian Cameron Smedley celebrate the official ground breaking of the Ottawa River Runners new clubhouse for the Pumphouse Whitewater Facility on Oct. 11. The clubhouse was made possible by member-supported fundraising of more than $160,000 over the course of 10 years, as well as a recently acquired Ontario Trillium Foundation Grant of $150,000. The timing couldn’t be better for the new clubhouse to be completed as Canada’s 150th birthday celebrations in 2017 will include hosting the Canadian Whitewater National Championships at the site in August 2017. The location has been a bit

of a secret spot in the city’s urban core, as Mayor Watson admitted he didn’t know much about the site, and only visited it for the first time last month. Although Watson declined a trip down the slalom course during his previous visit, Naqvi said he was lucky enough to go down the track with Tayler doing most of the work. He added he believes the new clubhouse, coupled with a new light rail station at the head of the track and the development of the Lebreton Flats at

the base will make the facility more accessible. The club admits part of maintaining a relatively low profile was because of the facility’s conditions. “We didn’t have room to grow,” van Gellswyk said. Now, the club says the only thing that is stopping them is money to buy more boats. More information about the clubhouse, and the Ottawa River Runners programming is available ottawariverrunners.com.

Groups focus discussions ! % 0 9 o T p U e v a S on three priority areas Continued from page 5

One group – discussing Mayor Jim Watson’s announcement of an affordable transit pass in the 2017 budget – threw around a lot of ideas for the pass, including making it available to a wider group and capping the price at no more than about $42 per month. One participant also asked that any yearly rate structure increase be mitigated as well. “For low-income residents, they should recognize their situation and not raise it,” said one participant. While Leiper listened in on discussions, another table discussed getting rid of the seniors fare to help pay for the transit pass. Instead, any senior who is under the low-income threshold could qualify for the affordable transit pass. They suggested the low-income cutoff be an income of $20,000 for a single resident and $38,000 for a family. Leiper didn’t weigh in on the suggestion, but said some seniors can afford the full fare, “but when some reach a certain age, they feel something should come back to them.” The group also talked about charging $1 a day for parking at park-and-ride lots to offset the cost of the pass. They noted it could also promote carpooling to the stations. On the social services side, residents discussed having an extra $500,000 in the budget to help agencies with operational costs. Fleury said in his summary remarks those concerned about social services talked about access to fresh food at food banks, as well as access to affordable childcare spaces. The Somerset West Community Health Centre commented on the

increasing needs. While the city has funded certain needed programs, there’s no guarantee of long-term funding. In response to conversations at the meeting, Somerset West CHC tweeted, “Agencies [are] facing great pressures because of more complex and growing needs in community.” On safer transportation for all users, McKenney said, “It’s no surprise nobody mentioned that they would like to continue to be atrisk on our roads and streets.” She added participants discussed both operational matters, such as snow removal, and capital ones, such as more cycling infrastructure. “We don’t have to wait for a full renewal,” she said. She also noted that as active transportation increases, funds should match that. Councillors explained the information gathered at the meeting would be compiled and shared with participants. “This has been a fantastic evening,” Leiper said following the meeting, highlighting what he called high-level themes that included inclusion of everyone. “I heard a lot about inclusion, I heard a lot about ensuring that everybody in our city can participate in its economic, cultural and every facet of our city life,” he said. “And I don’t think the way we are allocating our resources allows us to do that.” He said he’ll be pushing for the city to do a better job of that through the budget process. Fleury added he hopes residents will come out to the budget meetings to continue the night’s conversation. A draft budget will be presented at city council on Nov. 9.

Sooner than later would be better

long with the much-ballyhooed lightrail tunnel being built under downtown, another tunnel is planned. It will one day hold water from large storms so it is not simply dumped â&#x20AC;&#x201C; sewage and all â&#x20AC;&#x201C; into the Ottawa River. The plans for this giant holding tank â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the most important bit of the Ottawa River Action Plan â&#x20AC;&#x201C; have been on the drawing board for far too long. The city has the cash from other levels of government to start work, and we hope to see that work started as soon as possible. The background: the older parts of the city have pipes that carry both sewage from homes and storm water from the streets. When a big storm hits, the combined water is more than our sewage treatment plant can handle, and the overflow has to go somewhere. Today that somewhere is the Ottawa River. When the storage tunnel is complete, it is designed to hold the massive inflow of water and let it flow to the treatment system at a controlled rate. In a perfect world, the system would see all the

combined pipes separated, so sewage is treated and rain water is sent straight to the river. But the cost of that work would be even more than the $62 million earmarked for the holding tunnel. It will be money well spent. It will mean the river will be cleaner and some beaches downstream will be swimmable more days each year. But it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be perfect. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because storm water from other areas of the city heads straight to the Ottawa River without any treatment. And that water contains plenty of pet waste â&#x20AC;&#x201C; enough to bump up bacteria levels and make downstream beaches unsafe for people to swim. If various levels of government are going to spend $62 million on a water tunnel, it would make sense if the city spent a few drops of that money on public education about, and enforcement of, existing stoopand-scoop laws. We all share the river. We can all swim in it when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clean. Everyone should do their part to keep it that way.

Teaching kids about money valuable lesson

hanksgiving dinner was barely finished when the kids piped up about what they wanted for Christmas. It was the perfect opportunity to have the conversation about money Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been wanting to have with them for a while, but I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t honestly know what to say. My son, fresh from a windfall known as his tenth birthday, had spent his money 10 times over in his head before making a decision four months later. His choices included an Xbox, a new bike, sports clothes or a Chromebook. He was shy of the money for any one of those things and spent weeks negotiating with parents and grandparents ways of earning extra should he need it. In the end he decided what he really, desperately needed was a real

this for four months, which means any money theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve received has been ad hoc. I reached out to Janet Gray, a financial planner with Money Coaches Canada. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t agree with giving money only for chores,â&#x20AC;? said Gray. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kids, no matter what, need to learn how to manage money, to make money successes and make money mistakes. If itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always tied to taking out the garbage and they never take out the garbage, they will never learn.â&#x20AC;? Gray recommends setting a baseline of money per week. A rule of thumb is 50 cents per year of age per week to avoid overindulgence. From there, kids can have the option to earn extra money through chores. More important, however, is what they do with that, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s say, $5 DISTRIBUTION INQUIRIES 5SBDJ $BNFSPO ADMINISTRATION: %POOB 5IFSJFO HOME BUILDERS ACCOUNTS SPECIALIST (FPGG )BNJMUPO DISPLAY ADVERTISING: (JTFMF (PEJO ,BOBUB 3BOEZ 0MNTUFBE 0UUBXB 8FTU $JOEZ (JMCFSU 0UUBXB 4PVUI $BSMZ .D(IJF 0UUBXB &BTU +JMM .BSUJO /FQFBO $BUIFSJOF -PXUIJBO #BSSIBWFO #FMMT $PSOFST .JLF 4UPPEMFZ 4UJUUTWJMMF "OOJF %BWJT 0UUBXB 8FTU 3JDP $PSTJ "VUPNPUJWF $POTVMUBOU #MBJS ,JSLQBUSJDL 0SMFBOT CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING SALES: 4IBSPO 3VTTFMM

per week. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a spending freefor-all. Gray suggests giving each kid four mason jars. Forty per cent of their weekly allowance can go into the spend jar, 40 per cent goes into savings, 10 per cent goes into donations and the final 10 per cent goes into investments. They can use their spending for anything they want â&#x20AC;&#x201C; no strings attached. Savings are short term, while investments are longer term, explains Gray. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A 10 per cent investment for your 11-year-old may mean he can take driving lessons in five years,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Saving is shorter term, like the skateboard your sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been eyeing.â&#x20AC;? Gray recommends helping kids make regular deposits into their bank accounts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Encourage them to go online to see how much money is in their account,â&#x20AC;? says Gray. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also an opportunity to make sure their card is safeguarded and to teach them

We all end up paying for concessions To the editor,

Re: “Committee votes in favour of regulating special area levies.” It is good that council is developing a rational approach to special local tax levies, but I would suggest that examining the granting of tax concessions is needed. These concessions are burdensome, particularly to homeowners. I think we all would be astonished to see a list of commercial, industrial and vacant properties in the city which have been given tax conces-

sions or even complete tax holidays. Recently commercial properties in Bells Corners were given relief so that repairs and renovations could be done, things which prudent owners would do anyway. A similar concession was given along St. Joseph. Vacant lots sit empty for years, even decades, while infrastructure is improved and value increases without property levy increases. Industrial property receives relief if partially empty; try to do the same for a domestic property only par-

tially occupied! An enterprise which can pay employees over a million dollars does not need an exemption from property taxes. On my cynical days I feel that commercial property owners with access to lawyers, lobbyists and councillors have an easy time being granted property tax exemption or relief by Ottawa city council, leaving domestic residents to pick up the slack, as the 99 per cent carry an extra burden.

Consultations begin for west, east public school closures West review planned for Oct. 27 at Sir Robert Borden High School STAFF

The public school board wants to hear from you on its latest accommodation review. On Sept. 13 the OttawaCarleton District School Board of trustees approved the start of the review process for two pupil accommo-

dation reviews – one in the west end of Ottawa, which involves 26 schools and one in the east-end of Ottawa, which involves three secondary schools. The consultations begin on Oct. 27 for the western review at Sir Robert Borden High School from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.

The eastern secondary consultation is scheduled to take place on Nov. 1 at Rideau High School from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Faced with addressing issues of overcrowding in some schools and underutilization of others, staff worked through the summer

to draft accommodation reviews and recommendations for the west Ottawa schools, and for Rideau High School, Gloucester High School and Colonel By Secondary School in the city’s urban east end. Those reports were released on Aug. 31, revealing a list of changes that could mean the closure of eight schools across the city, mostly in its western neighbourhoods.

The west-end study identifies 3,837 excess pupil spaces in the study area and proposed changes could reduce the excess space by 2,074. For those who are not able to make it to the consultations in person, the board launched an online threephase consultation, which is currently in the second phase. It provides a chance to see the comments from other

participants who participated in the first phase and mark comments considered most important. This phase begins on Oct. 24 and will run until Nov. 20. The final phase in the online consultation begins on Dec. 5. The board will share the results of the consultation process. To participate visit ocdsb. ca.

Crashed ice dates announced BY MICHELLE NASH BAKER michelle.nash@metroland.com

Mark your calendar – the dates have been set to determine who in the world is the best at hurling themselves down an ice hill. Ottawa is set to host the Red Bull Crashed Ice world championship event at the Ottawa Locks – beside the Chateau Laurier and Major’s Hill Park – on March 3 and 4. The Red Bull Crashed Ice season was announced on Oct. 12. Leading up to Ottawa, the season will make stops in Marseille, France on Jan. 13 and 14, Jyväskylä-Laajis, Finland for a second year in a row on Jan. 20 and 21. Saint Paul, Minn. will be the venue for the third race on Feb. 3 and 4 with the season concluding in Ottawa. In a press release, the championship’s sporting director Christian Papillon said this year welcomes two new environments. “This sport just keeps growing in popularity every year and this year is definitely going to take it to the next level,” Papillon said. “… Le Vieux Port de Marseille in France is a mind-bog-

They’re going to be insane.” According to the organization, ice machines will create a race track to compensate for the Mediterranean temperatures in Marseille. The event features a downhill course, about 400 metres long, with jumps. Skaters can travel up to 82 kilometres per hour while

skating downhill. Racers compete four at a time, with the first two to cross the finish line advancing to the next round. There are both men’s and women’s divisions. The course is built with spectator stands all around, lighting for evening events, and often features music and DJs. The event is one of the many events the city has secured as part of its Canada 150th anniversary celebrations.

Move aimed at creating a better shopping experience Continued from page 14

“It was very crowded and it didn’t make for a happy shopping experience.” Last year there wasn’t enough room in the Churchill Seniors’ Centre in Westboro to put out all of the things they had for sale, but the new venue will provide space for more tables, more space and more things to offer. Despite the cramped space last year, it was still a very successful event, Swinton said, adding it raised about $18,000. This year, the grandmothers are hoping to raise $30,000. Last year’s event was a bit of an experiment, after local grandmothers visited a similar market in Kingston to see if it was something that could work in Ottawa. Before last year, One World Grannies imported jewelry from a fair-trade workshop outside Nairobi, Kenya, and sold it

to other grandmother groups across the country. In total, those efforts raised about $800,000 for the Stephen Lewis Foundation.

“It was very crowded and it didn’t make for a happy shopping experience.” VAL SWINTON, ONE WORLD GRANNIES

The market will have tables of crafts, art, pottery, handmade birdhouses and other gifts as well as a large secondhand merchandise offering. “We’ll have gently-used clothing and accessories at ridiculously low prices,” Swinton

said, adding it was the largest draw at last year’s market. Grandmother Moon will also be providing tarot card readings. This year, the foundation celebrates 10 years since its formation. Since then, about 240 grandmother groups have popped up in Canada, including more than 20 in the Ottawa region. According to the foundation, about 40 to 60 per cent of orphans live in grandmother-headed households. Canadians have raised more than $24 million for African grandmothers through the Grandmothers to Grandmothers campaign, providing food, educational supplies, uniforms, medical care, HIV counselling and testing, and more.

Ontario’s second health unit for people over age 65 will admit its first patient sometime next month, and staff at the Queensway Carleton Hospital expect it to improve the health of the region’s seniors. “We’re very keen to get going,” said Dr. Fraser Miller, the physician who will head the acute care for the elderly unit – referred to as the ACE unit. Premier Kathleen Wynne was on hand for an Oct. 14 opening. The 34-bed unit will treat seniors with acute issues, but will go beyond other hospitals by investigating all the health issues each patient is experiencing. The goal is to identify all challenges that could prevent a positive outcome. “We talk about beds, but beds are not friendly to seniors,” Miller said, alluding to the need to keep muscles moving.

Premier Kathleen Wynne (left) enjoys a chat with Louise Heffernan, a patient at the Queensway Carleton Hospital, during the official opening of the hospital’s new acute care for the elderly unit. other treatments, hopefully as far as communal eating and gathering places within the bright and airy unit. When possible, the patients will wear their own clothes instead of gowns – part of a strategy to make them feel part of a community instead of being inside an institution. “You’re doing a lot of things right here,” Wynne said to staff members gathered for the opening. “This will help

get them back into their lives more quickly.” Wynne spent more than 15 minutes chatting with Louise Heffernan of Stittsville, a patient who recently injured a hip. Heffernan described the new ACE space as “cheerful and bright” and praised the hospital’s staff. The ACE unit is expected to see demand grow by 3.5 per cent annually as Ottawa’s population ages.

Mayor Jim Watson (right) speaks at an Oct. 11 press conference highlighting funding committed to a combined sewage storage tunnel from the federal government.

Sewage tunnel gets thumbs up BY BRIER DODGE brier.dodge@metroland.com

Municipal, provincial and federal politicians gathered along the banks of the Ottawa River on Oct. 11 to highlight funding given to the combined sewage storage tunnel. The $62.09 million in funding was originally announced in April 2015 by the previous Conservative federal government and is being matched by the province.

Mayor Jim Watson said the Oct. 11 gathering was to celebrate the confirmation that the previously announced funding is in indeed in the federal budget of the current Liberal government. “There was an election in the interim, we had to make sure the funding was still in place,” he said after a press conference. “So we appreciate the previous government starting the process, and the current government for finishing it.”

The project is part of the Ottawa River Action Plan to clean up the water in the Ottawa River. It will see two tunnels built, including an east-west tunnel through the downtown core from LeBreton Flats to New Edinburgh Park, and a north-south tunnel along Kent Street from Catherine Street to existing infrastructure behind the Supreme Court of Canada. See TUNNEL, page 23

20 Ottawa West News - Thursday, October 20, 2016

“Exemplary” still describes QCH after 40 years Catharene Smith has worked at Queensway Carleton Hospital for 18 years. She’s the team leader in C4 medicine, and if there’s something she’s proud of, it’s the team she works with. You can see it in the way she speaks about them; she’s all smiles and relaxed posture, when talking of her friends. In fact, her coworkers are part of the reason she loves working at QCH. “First of all, the people. I have met lifelong friends in my unit; we’ve gone through so much together. The opportunities I’ve been blessed with are another thing. Whether it is making things better for the patients, or having a say in changes/improvements to the unit I work in, or the hospital. The educational opportunities I’ve gotten over the years, and being able to care for the patients in our community as well. There really is that feeling of community when working here.” Smith has been working at QCH for almost half of her life. So it makes sense that the hospital has become a large part of it. “QCH has always felt like a family. Going back to the ‘old’ days when it was only one building, you knew

everyone! The doctors, the people working in admin, the support staff. Everyone knew each other. That hasn’t changed, even when our hospital has grown. Working full-time, you can’t help but feel that this is a big part of your life.” Smith has learned many things from working at QCH, but the most important thing she’s been taught is collaboration. “It’s most important

in providing excellent patient care, and by working together as a team it makes our very hard jobs easier!” During her almost two decade turn at the hospital, Smith has experienced and accomplished many things that are memorable. Something that stood out the most for her was winning the D. Aubrey Moodie People Excellence Awards – Employee of the Year in 2014. “I felt honoured to be recognized. That’s something you really feel here, the recognition. You don’t feel like a number, you’re valued here and you get recognition for the work you do.” Smith lit up when asked if there

was something she wanted people to know about QCH. “QCH is a great place to work. It truly has the patients’ and the staff’s best interest in mind. Even though it has expanded greatly it still has the ‘home town feel’ it has had since it opened.” Smith went on to talk about her department specifically, mentioning the daily huddles, the Kudos cards that their unit hands out to one another, and the CEO. “Tom will sometimes drop in on the huddles. He won’t take over them, he’ll just stand back and watch and listen, and if he knows something about whatever topic we’re on, he’ll chime in. The nurses really appreciate that he does that.” Smith took a moment when finding the perfect word to describe the hospital, even joking that she’d had to look some up on a thesaurus to get that that sounded just right. “Exemplary,” she finally settles on. “QCH has always strived to do what is best for patients, staff, volunteers, and the community. The patients we care for on my unit have noticed this, and, for the most part at least, they seem quite happy with

their time spent here, and they’re satisfied with their care.” “It’s hard to summarize my experience here,” she admits, noting that she’s been here for half of her life. “Working at QCH has been a great opportunity for professional development, while providing great care to my community.” Smith has indeed been given some great opportunities for professional development. In fact, her unit in C4 has been chosen to move to the new ACE unit once it’s completed. “We’re all very excited. C4 has been dubbed the ghetto unit, it hasn’t been updated in a while, and we’ve worked very hard with what we have. The nurses are eager to get new equipment, and to learn new things in relation to taking care of the patients. “Our unit is already similar to what the ACE unit will be doing, but there are still some new things we will be learning. A few nurses have already signed up for some of the courses the hospital is providing. I really think this unit deserves this chance. My co-workers have worked so hard for it, and I’m so happy that they have this great opportunity.”

UPCOMING EVENTS BRIER DODGE/METROLAND

The Ottawa River runs through along the north side of the city.

OCTOBER 21 7 PM

Tunnel to be completed in 2019 Continued from page 19

The combined sewage storage tunnel, which is already under construction, will store water during heavy rainfall so it can be cleaned before being returned to the river. It is supposed to reduce the amount of raw sewage entering the river by 95 per cent. “The Ottawa River is the jewel of Ottawa, and we need to do more,” said federal Minister of the Environment and Climate Change Catherine McKenna, who represents the Ottawa Centre riding. Orléans MP Andrew Leslie said the project will especially benefit “those of us in Orlé-

ans and Vanier who are downstream.” The city’s public beach at Petrie Island has battled frequent closures over the years due to high e-coli counts. Watson said one of the driving forces behind the Ottawa River Action Plan has been Orléans Coun. Bob Monette, who spoke up because of the frequent beach closures at Petrie. Other public facilities along the water have also been affected over the years. Earlier in the day, just downstream, local paddlers reacted to the news after a groundbreaking for a new clubhouse. Alison Smedley, who has been training at the Pumphouse

Whitewater facility for the past 18 years, said the cleanup effort has been a long-time coming. “It doesn’t feel like a natural space when the water turns brown,” Smedley said. A warning light was installed to let paddlers know if it’s safe to ride the water, but Smedley said that typically she and other canoe and kayakers know if they are able to train on any given day based on the smell in the air. The city of Ottawa will contribute $108 million to the project, due for completion in December 2019.

St. Anthony School unveils new yard BY MELISSA MURRAY mmurray@metroland.com

St. Anthony School’s yard went from one of the ugliest in the city to an urban oasis. The new yard was unveiled on Oct. 14, after being completed in about three weeks over the summer. “You told us you used to have the ugliest playground,” said Mayor Jim Watson during the yard’s grand opening. “I think you now have the most beautiful yard in the city.” The Little Italy school received $100,000 from the AVIVA Community Fund, $25,000 from the Italian Canadian Community Fundraising Committee and other groups contributed about $7,000. While every yard has its hazards, school principal Paul McGuire said the uneven and cracked pavement at St. Anthony was beginning to cause problems for students who were falling and getting cuts and scrapes on a fairly regular basis. Pooling water in the play-

The final piece of the yard – the play structures – will be installed before Christmas. It will include a sensory board and two wooden shelters that

will also be usable during the winter. The yard, which was almost entirely asphalt, now has green spaces, new trees and an outdoor amphitheatre/classroom. That space is McGuire’s favourite.

“You just don’t know how the space will be used until the students get into it,” he said, watching students jump rope around the pathways, play basketball and play soccer. In total the whole project cost about $145,000.

St. Anthony student Jenny Moo skips on the spot on the new asphalt in the school’s yard, which was unveiled on Oct. 14. The rejuvenation project cost about $145,000; $100,000 was provided by the AVIVA Community fund and $25,000 was fundraised by the Italian Canadian Community Fundraising Committee.

Different Cats, Different Solutions

As the Ottawa Humane Society’s new Mobile Spay/Neuter Vehicle hits the streets, the prospect for long-term solutions to cat overpopulation and cat welfare are becoming clearer. The thing is, cats in our community live in very different circumstances, there are many reasons for the problems, and all need tailored solutions. A significant source of overpopulation is feral cats. Feral cats are not stray. They are generally the progeny of stray or roaming cats and have never lived with humans. They are not wildlife, nor are they pets. Their lives are generally nasty, brutish and short. According to the experts, adults cannot ever be truly socialized to humans, though their young kittens can be. Then there are “porch” or “loosely owned” cats. These cats are socialized

to humans, though may be very skittish. They have, or had, an owner and are fed and loosely cared for by a neighbourhood. Unfortunately, the neighbourhood’s care rarely extends to veterinary care or sterilization. Therefore, these cats are a significant source of unwanted litters. Those not vaccinated can be a reservoir for contagious feline disease. It can be hard to identify a skittish stray or porch cat from a true feral cat. But in a shelter, socialized porch or owned cats will generally calm with time. Feral cats do not, and may injure themselves, sometimes severely, trying to escape. Their stress can be so intense that they can die of heart failure in a cage. It is not humane to shelter a severely distressed feral cat. The issues of each type of cat are very different and require different solutions. Since most feral cats cannot be humanely housed, the standard humane practice is “TNR,” or trap/neuter/release, that is, capture, sterilize and vaccinate, and release them where they were found. Feral cat colonies can be phased out over time through TNR. The OHS assisted volunteers to phase out the famous Parliament Hill colony several years ago through TNR in advance of government intervention that may have seen the entire colony euthanized. The OHS will support other feral colony caretakers under certain conditions through free food and sterilization at our clinic. Porch cats can and should be socialized and rehomed. If they are rehomed through the OHS, they will leave healthy, vaccinated and sterilized to a good home that is ready and able to care for them. They will no longer contribute to cat overpopulation. The OHS is hopeful that our efforts are going to produce very significant results and quickly, changing the world for Ottawa’s cats by resolving the problem identified in the OHS’s new five-year strategic plan, that is, too many cats will live wretched lives as long as there are too many cats. Pet of the Week: Naomi (ID# A189212) Meet Naomi, a social and affectionate cat looking for her purr-fect match. Naomi is a friendly kitty who enjoys hanging out with her human friends. She’d love to curl up on your lap or even jump up on to your shoulders while you pet her. Naomi would prefer to be the only cat in the home so she can have all of her new family’s love and attention to herself For more information on Naomi and all the adoptable animals, stop by the OHS at 245 West Hunt Club Rd Check out our website at www.ottawahumane.ca to see photos and descriptions of the animals available for adoption.

Please note: The Ottawa Humane Society has many other companion animals available for adoption. Featured animals are adopted quickly! To learn more about adopting an animal from the Ottawa Humane Society please contact us:

Nature museum hosts different kind of Halloween party BY MICHELLE NASH BAKER michelle.nash@metroland.com

Is there anywhere better to be leading up to Halloween night than in a building that is more than a 100 years old — and is filled with ancient artifacts, poisonous reptiles? Well in case that’s exactly what people are looking for, the Canadian Museum of Nature has it covered. The museum will host its second Nature Nocturne event — an adult only event – on Oct. 28 at 8 p.m. The evening includes DJs, dancing and world-class exhibitions including the most recently added Reptiles: Beautify and Deadly which opened on Oct. 7. Costumes are encouraged however there are some exceptions: The museum said it reserves the right to refuse entry or remove attendees in any costume, if they think there may be a risk to safety or the costume does not comply with the guidelines • All weapons must clearly be toys • No live, replica or realistic firearms (e.g., airsoft, modern, hunting or historic) • No props or weapons capable of firing any projectile or powder • Opaque material coverings on appropriate areas of your body • No masks that hinder sight • No costumes that could impede the movement of other guests. Since it’s creation in 2013, more than 58,000 people have taken advantage of the after hour event. Nature Nocturne runs from 8 p.m. to midnight. The ticket price is $25 and includes tax as well as admittance to special exhibitions and also offers one discount coupon for $2 off of food. The Nature Café will open with a special selection of hot and cold items; as well food will be sold in the Jump Lounge. Food truck Stella Gelato will also be on site. According to the museum,

the evening lends itself to selfies and happy group shots with friends. The wall above the Museum’s grand staircase will once again present a fun gallery of all photos shared by Nocturne-goers on social media with the hashtag #NatureNocturne. The museum highly recommends people purchase their tickets in advance, either online or at the door. For tickets and details about the program, visit nature.ca/ nocturne. According to organizers at the museum hanging out there on the last Friday night of the month is in fact the best party in town. And there will be plenty of chances to find out, although the Halloween bash does tend to sell out quickly, that is not the only chance people will

Hibernian Society would be grateful for Mary and Richard’s efforts

other liked to take a trip into Ottawa to visit our Lyon Street relatives before fall changed to winter. It was always on a Saturday, since it was a long trip to make in the old Model T and we’d stay overnight. I was thrilled, because 129 Lyon St. was always a hive of activity. Aunt Vanetta and Uncle Johnny, their daughter Lil and Uncle Dick, and of course, my cousin Richard, all lived in the tenement house, and goodness knows how many families on the floors above. I knew all of Northcote could fit into that old red brick house. It was a bright and warm fall day when we wheeled into the cinder yard that separated 129 Lyon St. from the fire station next door. As always, Mother came with the car loaded with potatoes, a couple plump chickens and a basket of crab apples. My cousin Richard was as excited as I was when we

MARY COOK Memories climbed out of the car and he whispered in my ear that he had a great idea how we could spend the afternoon. We went right into the parlour, dark and dank with big pieces of deep red, velvet furniture and an old upright piano crowed into the small room. Richard showed me a stack of papers and a sign propped against the big velvet sofa. I could only read the first words, being in Primer book and all at the Northcote School, but Richard who was very familiar with the sign, read in whispers, running his finger along the words. “Help

support the Hibernian Society.” And there was a picture of Aunt Vanetta’s church underneath the printing. Richard grabbed a handful of the papers and the sign, took hold of my hand and led me out onto the street. I had no idea what we were doing, but I figured it had something to do with Aunt Vanetta’s church, so it must be all right. “Here, you carry the papers,” Richard said. “I’ll carry the sign.” He produced a blue and white granite cup, one like Uncle Johnny drank his tea from and with the sign close to his chest, we started

walking down Lyon Street. Every time we met someone, Richard, all of seven-yearsold, put on the saddest face I had ever seen and said, “Please help the Hibernian Society.” If someone put a penny or two in the cup, it was my job to hand them a sheet of paper off the pile I was carrying. Never thinking anything we were doing was dishonest, I marveled at the pile of

been at our begging about half an hour, he grabbed the papers out of my hands, and with the sign, tucked the whole lot into a hedge we were passing on Lyon Street. He emptied the cup of coins into his pocket and got rid of the cup too. We headed right for Richard’s favourite candy store on Albert Street. Unfortunately, Richard’s father, Uncle Dick was coming home from work, spied us, pulled

‘After we had been at our begging about half an hour, he grabbed the papers out of my hands, and with the sign, tucked the whole lot into a hedge we were passing on Lyon Street.’ coins gathering in the bottom of the tin cup and was sure the Hibernians would be especially pleased. Well, Richard had other ideas. After we had

over to the curb and told us to climb in the car. Now, Uncle Dick was a smart man. It didn’t take him all day to see, and hear, Richard’s pocket

bulging with the money. When we got back to the house and Uncle Dick heard Richard’s confession, he and Uncle Johnny laughed so hard, I thought they’d throw up. Aunt Vanetta and Aunt Lil didn’t see anything funny about the whole issue and Aunt Vanetta immediately took out her rosary, and started to say her beads, Aunt Lil ordered Richard to get out his catechism, and I was sent to the parlour to look through the family bible! The coins were spread out on the table, and I knew without a doubt, the Hibernian Society would be a few dollars richer, but I was reasonably sure they would have no idea where the money had come from.

Swiss cheese fondue great for entertaining A popular entertaining dish from the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;60s and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;70s, fondue has recently been rediscovered. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a fondue pan, place the mixture in a flame-proof container set over lit candles to keep it warm. The trick for silky, smooth fondue is finely shredded cheese added very slowly over low heat. Preparation time: 10 minutes Cooking time: 7 minutes Serves: Six to eight INGREDIENTS:

â&#x20AC;˘ 8 oz (250 g) Swiss-style cheese, finely shredded (2

cups/500 mL) â&#x20AC;˘ 1 tbsp (15 mL) cornstarch â&#x20AC;˘ 1-1/2 cups (375 mL) dry white wine â&#x20AC;˘ 1 clove garlic, crushed â&#x20AC;˘ Freshly grated nutmeg and freshly ground black pepper PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS:

In large bowl, toss cheese with cornstarch until cheese is well coated. Set aside. In medium saucepan, combine wine and garlic. Bring to boil, reduce heat and cook over low heat for 2 minutes. Very gradually add

cheese mixture a handful at a time and cook, stirring, until melted and thick. Remove from heat and season with nutmeg and pepper to taste. Immediately transfer to warm fondue pot or dish and surround it with prosciutto-wrapped apple and pear wedges, cooked potato cubes and buttered sautĂŠed mushrooms.

This week’s puzzle answers in next week’s issue

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

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, you will soon learn that any obstacle can be overcome if you set your mind to it. While a certain task may seem daunting right now, you won’t allow it to intimidate you. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Others are paying attention to you even if they seem distracted, Taurus. Embrace the scrutiny and do your best to reciprocate any special attention coming your way. GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, make an effort to be there for a loved one this week. You have a unique ability to listen and support others, and your loved one will not take your efforts for granted. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, if your energy and attention span is a bit scattered this week, take steps to ensure all of your responsibilities are taken care of. A respite is on the horizon. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, by observing others you can learn how they operate and make the most of your chances to work with them. Apply a similar approach to your personal relationships. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Try to tackle a financial project this week, Virgo. Select something relatively easy to begin with, and then go from there if you find yourself in a financial groove.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 It’s time to get the creative juices flowing, Libra. Tackle a project around the house, like painting or rearranging a room. Look for a new creative hobby as well. SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, you have a lot of energy and a need to strive toward perfection in all that you do. Those traits will prove valuable around the office this week. SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Keep trying to convince someone that your ideas are credible, Sagittarius. With a little more persuasion, you may win this person over and he or she will become a big supporter. CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, even if you don’t want to go along with what the group is doing this week, you just may have to concede that what is best for the group trumps your personal preference. AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, financial issues may be keeping you on your toes, but it’s nothing you can’t handle if you stick to your plan. You may want to do some tinkering, however. PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, continue to bring the right people into your inner circle. One person in particular has your eye and might be just what you need. 1020
