Land transfer first step to new Civic campus Experimental Farm tract transferred to NCC for new hospital Steph Willems
steph.willems@metroland.com
News - The first major hurdle towards the creation of a new Civic campus of the Ottawa Hospital was overcome on Nov. 3, as a portion of land at the Experimental Farm was set aside for construction. A 24.3 hectare tract owned by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada was
transferred to the National Capital Commission to accommodate the next chapter of the Civic Campus, which has resided on the north side of Carling Avenue since 1924. Constrained by a lack of land on its existing site, the transfer would allow the hospital to proceed with its longterm plans. See EXISTING, page 6

News - The Ottawa Hospital is appealing for donations to help researchers find new ways of mending the human body. The foundation’s Tender Loving Research campaign, launched on Oct. 29, aims to raise $50 million over the next three years – money that will go primarily towards research on regenerative medicine. By focusing on this emerging field, as well as cancer research, the foundation hopes to one day introduce new drugs, therapies and treatment options for patients. The money will bolster research already happening on the campuses of the Ottawa Hospital. “Made-in-Ottawa solutions are shaping healthcare in our city and around the world,” said foundation president and CEO Tim Kluke in a media release. “Every day, individuals benefit from the research taking place right here at home. Research improves lives, and saves lives, which is why – everyone deserves a little TLC.” The Ottawa Hospital is ranked in the top five per cent of research institutes worldwide, thanks to its pioneering work in medical research. The $50 million the foundation hopes to raise will go towards the purchase of new equipment to stay current in a quickly evolving medical field, as well as the establishment of research chairs to focus on specific elements
of the hospital’s work. Ottawa Hospital researcher Dr. Bernard Thebaud specializes in regenerative medicine, a growing field where stem cells – either the patient’s own or those of a donor – are injected to regenerate damaged tissue. In essence, they can allow the body to heal itself. Thebaud’s specialty is working on helping premature infants suffering lung damage – a common problem for babies of low birth weight for which there is no cure. “In the lab we found that a certain type of stem cell can repair damaged lungs in experimental models,” said Thebaud, adding that clinical trials on actual infants will be the next step. Clinical trials are also being prepared to study the effects of stem cell therapy on heart disease, hypertension, and septic shock – the latter being only a few months away. Clinical trials and the work needed to craft a rationale for the human trial is expensive work, given the amount of people and expertise involved. Thebaud said the campaign is “timely,” given that regenerative medicine is finally becoming a reality after years of animal testing. “The time is right for these therapies to be tested in the clinic,” he said. “Over the next five to 10 years, we will see if these cells hold their promise. However, money is needed to get things done in a timely manner.”
Bronson escarpment bike path design finalized Construction on Albert-Laurier link to start next year Laura Mueller
laura.mueller@metroland.com
News - Ottawa cyclists are getting a better picture of what a pathway link through the Bronson escarpment will look like when it’s built next year. The path, which includes a section through the former technical high school lands east of Bronson Avenue and south of Slater Street, is the next section of the bikeway that will eventually link Vanier and Westboro with a series of paths and different types of bike lanes. The goal is to improve the comfort of cyclists by separating them from roads with heavy traffic, like Bronson, and reducing the steepness of the grade they have to travel up or down. The tricky portion near the intersections of Bronson, Slater, Albert Street and Commissioner Street will require
two new sections of pathway and a new traffic signal to be built next year. The new crossing signal will allow pedestrians and eastbound cyclists to cross Albert Street halfway between Brickhill Street and Commissioner to get to a new pathway to be built in the green buffer between Albert and Slater. The location of that new traffic signal was determined by traffic engineers, who wanted to ensure there was enough room for vehicles to “stack” at the Bronson intersection. The path will curve around to bring cyclists south to the Bronson-Slater intersection, where they will have to dismount to cross to the south side of Slater. From there, the route will continue with a crossride, which allows cyclists to ride beside the pedestrian crosswalk, to get to the path-
way link through the tech school land. That path will cut south to link up with the segregated bike lanes on Laurier Avenue, at Percy Street, which has a southbound bike lane. The route cuts through an existing pet play area, which will be reduced to 70 per cent of its current size. It will be fenced off during and after construction. Both pathways are multiuse, so pedestrians and people using mobility devices, skateboards and roller blades can also use the route. Eventually, after the lightrail transit system begins running in 2018, another cycling route will be constructed along Slater between Bronson and Empress Avenue. That two-way cycling route will be separated from vehicular traffic and will give cyclists a more direct way to get down the escarpment and connect to new bike lanes on
City of Ottawa
Construction on two multi-use pathway links in west Centretown will begin in 2015. Designs for the east-west bikeway link were finalized this fall. Slater and Albert to the west, which will be constructed when those roads are rebuilt after LRT is up and running. A crossing for cyclists will be added at Empress to allow cyclists on the south side of Albert to access westbound lanes on the north side. But it’s not clear whether the pathway links being built
in 2015 will be changed or decommissioned, said Zlatko Krstulic, the planner in charge of the bikeway link’s design. “I don’t think we have a final decision on that right now,” he said. “We have a few years to make that decision. For the time being, we’re going to leave that an open question.”
Winter maintenance of the new pathway link would be considered as part of city council’s 2015-16 term priorities. As part of the project, a section of the Laurier bike lane between Percy and Bay streets will be converted to a raised cycling track at the same height as the sidewalk.

cated in the “high-rise area� of Centretown, which can accommodate buildings of up to 27-storeys. The Medical Arts Building is identified as a Group 2 heritage building in the CDP. Surrounding uses range from lowrise residential to mid and high-rise residential and office buildings. According to the application’s planning rationale, the final uses for the building haven’t been set in stone. “At this point, the final uses for
the future development have not been fully determined,� it states. “While the application seeks to allow a combination of at-grade retail with either residential, office or hotel, or some combination thereof, the concept plan contains 206 residential units, 140 hotel suites and 261.58 square metres of retail located at grade.� Under that concept, an underground garage accessed from Nepean would contain 154 parking spaces – 103 for residents, 16 for visitors and commercial users, and 35 for hotel guests. A total of 120 bicycle parking spaces would be included. No decision date has yet been affixed to the file.
News - With the Cathedral Hill condo tower nearly finished, the next phase of the build-out of Windmill Development’s Cathedral Hill property is poised to start. The environmentally-conscious builder is planning a 14-story tower on the east side of the Sparks Street site, one that will contain condominium space aimed at businesses and
non-profits. When it was approved by city council in 2011, the Cathedral Hill redevelopment plan included a shorter tower for office use. Windmill is touting the commercial condo project as a first for Ottawa, positioning the company as a progressive force by offering versatile space that’s already popular in other major North American centres. “We spend a lot of time looking at best practices and imagining better
ways for people to live and work,� said Windmill partner Rodney Wilts in a media release. “Giving professional practices and associations a way to build future equity by owning space in one of the downtown’s most desirable areas is a win-win for us and the businesses.� The project launches on Nov. 4, but the developer states the building will feature customizable floor plans and shared boardrooms for its business tenants.

Long-term plans to move the Ottawa Hospital’s Civic Campus to the south side of Carling Avenue was helped along by an Experimental Farm land transfer, announced on Nov. 3.
Existing campus to be vacated Continued from page 1
The announcement was delivered by Ottawa West-Nepean MP John Baird, NCC chief executive Mark Kristmanson, and Ottawa Hospital president and CEO Dr. Jack Kitts. “The development of a new Civic Campus is a cornerstone to the future of healthcare for the Ottawa community,” said Dr. Kitts, calling the announcement a “landmark decision for the citizens of Ottawa and the Valley.” The hospital will have to co-ordinate any expansion with the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long Term Care, and given the high cost of funding such a build, a new hospital won’t be sprouting up on former farm land anytime soon. When it does, the city can expect not just a new hospital, but also a new teaching facility to train the next generation of doctors and nurses. Baird said by freeing up the land, the federal government has allowed the hospital to
Coordinated by:

move forward with its plans to revamp healthcare for a changing society. “We are addressing the new demographic reality in which we live, and the need for a new world-class medical facility for the capital,” said Baird. Because the new campus would be located within Experimental Farm borders, the NCC wants to ensure the hospital fits in with its surroundings. “The NCC is committed to working with its partners to foster design excellence in a new campus that complements the distinct heritage character of the Central Experimental Farm,” said Kristmanson, who said his organization recognized the need for a new facility in Ottawa. Kitts said in an interview that the Civic, which currently houses a trauma unit, would like to shift its focus towards treating the acutely sick and injured, while having other hospitals handle less-serious health issues.
“We would work with the Local Health Integration Network and Ministry of Health and Long Term Care to see what less-intensive activity could be done at other hospitals,” said Kitts. “It is feasible that the hospital could be smaller than it is now, or the same size, given the population increase.” The timeline of the project is hazy at this early point, but Kitts said his experience tells him a completion date wouldn’t be less than 10 years down the road. “Hopefully not beyond 15 years,” he said, adding that community consultation will play a large role in the planning process. Once completed, the current campus will be completely vacated, leaving a large tract of desirable land close to downtown and a number of amenities. The hospital would have to enter into discussions with the city to determine what the best course of action was for offloading the lands.

EDITORIAL
A fresh start at city hall
I
t would be easy to suggest on the heels of the Oct. 27 election that Ottawa residents cast a ballot for more of the same. Upon closer examination, however, there are indications that the latest city council will be nearly as different from the class of 2010-14 as that group was from the Larry O’Brien years. Four years ago, there were 10 new councillors elected, including six who toppled incumbents. Eight of those 2010 rookies were re-elected in 2014, some by substantial margins (Tim Tierney, who edged out Beacon Hill-Cyrville incumbent Michel Bellemare by less than 200 votes in his first campaign captured 82 per cent of the vote this time around). These councillors won’t need time to find their feet next month when the new term gets underway; they’ll hit the ground running. Six veteran councillors stepped down ahead of the election – Peter Hume, Diane Holmes, Maria McRae, Rainier Bloess, Doug Thompson, and Steve Desroches – taking with them a combined 124 years worth of political experience. Their knowledge and
wisdom will be missed around the council table. Eight brand new councillors will join the ranks of those returning, and will inject new ideas and bring fresh attitudes to debates at city hall. Some, such as Catherine McKenney and Michael Qaqish, have worked at city hall for a number of years, while others will face a steeper learning curve. Those factors alone will shape the face of Ottawa’s municipal government in important ways. New alliances will be formed and old positions will be discarded. Yet beyond the ranks of councillors, another factor will loom large over the next four years: Jim Watson’s significant mandate. It could be argued the mayor faced little in the way of competition, but that didn’t stop Ottawans from voting for him (he received 58,000 more votes in 2014 than he did in 2010). He’s been re-elected to carry on the work he started during the last term, and he’ll have every right to push that vision through. While there will be 15 familiar faces returning city hall this time around, it should be anything but dull.

Doing our own thing at the game
W
ith the season almost over, I finally got around to checking out the Ottawa RedBlacks and their new stadium. I think it would be a good thing if the CFL survives in Ottawa, and wonder if it will, given its past history. This season is a good test and so far the results are encouraging. The team had won only two games at home, yet the fans turned out faithfully and cheered enthusiastically. That’s a good sign, especially when you assume that future teams won’t be as bad. The stadium itself is impressivelooking from the outside, although there are those who think TD could lower its signage profile somewhat. Getting in and out is not difficult,

have liked, but that seems to go with the territory. The link between football and booze is interesting. Anyway, from all accounts, there are places you can sit to get away from all that. At least the drunks were friendly. Also, the stadium atmosphere was fine, staff was friendly and helpful, and the lines for various things moved along all right. Security was not oppressive, despite recent events. I liked that the crowd did its own thing. Frequently, they were urged on scoreboards to MAKE SOME NOISE. They ignored that and made noise when they felt like.

Hard to imagine that happening anywhere else. It’s an Ottawa thing. That’s what cities need more of – their own thing. So I welcomed the lumberjack mascot, Big Joe, and even the oh-so-Ottawa politically correct discussion about what his name should be. And if you want a distinctly local flavour, how could you not love the cheesy touchdown celebration, which consists of the Algonquin Loggersports Team cutting a piece off a log with a chainsaw. Are you going to see that anywhere else? A lot of smart things have been done to give the Redblacks a local identity, none more inspiring than the decision to hire local legend Lucky Ron Burke to sing in honour of the team during one of the breaks. That’s what the fans want, more Lucky Ron. Also, more chainsaw action and fewer mouchoirs. More wins will help, and it’s CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING SALES:

Kids and sports – too much, too soon
W
hen my kids roll in the door after school at 3 p.m., they have a single mission: Go outside and play. Homework, music practice, television, even snacks take a backseat to the basketball net in the driveway and the soccer ball in the grass. Over the past six years or so, I’ve signed them up for everything from ice hockey and swimming lessons, to soccer, basketball and gymnastics. But last year, after spending so much money, and seeing very little interest, I stopped registering them for things. I was sick of fighting with them. In the back of my head, this triggered panic. I watched their peers running from the hockey arena to the pool to dance class three times per week. What if, by relenting to their request that they “didn’t want to sign up for anything,” I was somehow sacrificing their sporting future? But here’s the thing, my boys – now eight and nine-years-old – are among the healthiest I know. And they love sports. They spend the bulk of their free time kicking, hitting, bouncing balls, climbing ropes, playing driveway hockey, pick-up
BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse tennis, swimming in lakes in the summer, kayaking and skiing. Recently, anticipating the inevitable cold weather that may limit their outdoor running around time,I registered them for a free multisport program at a local gym. (Yes, free. Like, really, really free. Like, they don’t even need a special pair of shoes or any equipment). And they love it almost as much as they love playing outside. That’s when I realized, it’s not sports they hate, it’s organized sports. And, according to author Luis Fernando Llosa, they’re not alone. “Between five and nine, even to age 11, is a critical period when kids learn how to adapt, improve flexibility, self-control, learn how to socialize with other kids and selfdirection, and they’re not learning that in organized sports,” says Llosa. “These are the skills they learn while playing in a park, building a fort,
trying to figure something out, playing pick-up hockey on a pond or in a cul de sac, negotiating with that kid that owns the ball.” “Kids don’t want to sign up for anything; they just want to play,” he says. Llosa, a reporter with Sports Illustrated, is the co-author of Beyond Winning: Smart Parenting in a Toxic Sports Environment. He also co-founded Whole Child Sports, which offers a series of workshops for parents and coaches on how and why competition and organization are ruining sports for kids and what to do about it. On Friday, Nov. 7, Llosa will outline the ideas in the book in a lecture at St. Paul’s University, followed by a series of workshops for parents on Saturday, Nov. 8 at Trille de Bois public school in Vanier. His message to parents, at the most fundamental level is this: “Kids are doing too much, too soon when it comes to sports.” For the past several decades, says Llosa, parents have been pushing their kids into organized sports at ever younger ages, which he correlates to a phenomenal rise in youth sports injuries, aggression in
kids and, perhaps worst of all, an eventual disinterest in sports from youth old enough to make their own decisions. “By the age of 13, 70 per cent of kids involved in organized sports quit,” says Llosa. “If you’re a parent and you’re signing your kids up for hockey at five, the likelihood of them quitting by 13 is three out of four.” Llosa, a father of five, cites a few reasons why kids get put off. For one, they’re not given enough breathing space to grow physically and emotionally when their calendars are overwhelmed with too much activity. But perhaps most devastating, most toxic for kids that are pushed into organized sports too early, is the

out-to-win attitude of their parents. “The moment the parent gets involved, it becomes about them,” he says, which diminishes intrinsic motivation for the kids and can even negatively impact their self-esteem. “When a child is young, they have difficulty separating their performance from their self-worth.” Not to mention, adds Llosa, that children forced to listen to cheers and direction from even the bestintentioned parents and coaches, will ultimately turnout to be lousy athletes. “They will not be creative athletes when they’re older if they’ve always been told what to do,” he says. So I’m feeling okay about giving my kids a chance to breathe, play outside, and hang out in a local gym twice per week this winter, because if I really want them to develop a lifelong love of sports, according to Llosa, it’s best for me to just keep my mouth shut and let the kids play.

A parade of veterans will assemble just after 10 a.m. and set off along Wellington Street from the East Block of Parliament towards the memorial. The arrival of the prime minister, Governor General and Silver Cross Mother will begin the ceremonies at 10:55 a.m.
New mapping has been generated for Cardinal Creek from Ottawa River to O’Toole Road. Please join us at one of our open houses to learn how flood plain and slope delineation may affect shoreline management and development.
BRITANNIA
At the Canadian War Museum, a limited number of tickets will become available at 9:30 a.m. for access to the Memorial Hall, where a shaft of sunlight will illuminate the headstone of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at 11:00 a.m. The event will be webcast at the War Museum’s website.
At the Britannia Yacht Club, an act of remembrance will take place at 11 a.m. at the flag, with a ceremony and reception following.
WESTBORO
In Westboro, members of the Westboro Legion will form a parade down Richmond Road towards the cenotaph located in Byron Linear Park, just west of Golden Avenue. The service starts at 2 p.m. and includes a wreath-laying ceremony, followed by a reception at the legion branch at 391 Richmond Rd.

hoping they get better, said Cathy Gray, clinical nurse specialist for geriatric care at QCH. “This is a completely different way of providing care,” Gray said. “This is a new philosophy ... We’re not treating one acute medical issue, but all of those conditions.” The hospital hopes the new unit will ease pressure on the rehabilitation centre for elderly patients, which is used to treat patients with longerterm issues, such as a broken bone. The approach should help prevent loss of muscle strength, as well as a medical condition called delirium, which prevent elderly patients from returning home on their own. Gray said she expects frail patients will require shorter hospital stays and will leave in better condition than they would if they were treated with the standard approach to acute care. The 34 beds aren’t new – they will be transferred from the hospital’s acute-care unit into the new centre, which is to be located above the new James Beech operating room. But the renovations and specialized equipment are costly, said Melanie Adams, president and chief executive of the

Queensway Carleton Hospital officials, including Cathy Gray, fourth from left, and hospital CEO Tom Schonberg, fifth from left, were on hand for an announcement that residents of Nepean will be called on to donate $1.5 million for a new elderly acute care unit. Queensway-Carleton Hospital Foundation. The facility is expected to open in about two years, but in order for that to happen, the community will be called on to fundraise $1.5 million, Couns. Rick Chiarelli and Jan Harder announced on Oct. 30. The Nepean-area councillors emphasized that residents of the former city have continually responded through the years to contribute to the hospital. If each household in old Nepean donates $30 over the next year, the goal will be reached, Harder said. “It’s important that Nepean resi-
dents step up to do this again,” Chiarelli said. The project is important for the area because 14 per cent of the people in the catchment area are over age 65 – the third-highest population in Canada, Harder said. Another $1.5 million will be raised through donors sought out by the hospital foundation, Adams said. The donated money will cover 10 per cent of the cost of capital construction, as well as the entire cost of equipment. Last fall, the provincial government announced an $8.8-million contribution to the total $10.8-million project.

Vandenbeld to fly Liberal flag in Ottawa West-Nepean Laura Mueller
laura.mueller@metroland.com
News - Anita Vandenbeld will again represent the Liberals in Ottawa West-Nepean in the next federal election. The long-time Liberal supporter ran as the candidate in the 2011 and on Nov. 2, 635 riding association members re-elected her to carry the party banner again. She garnered 65 per cent of the vote on the second ballot in the new preferential voting system to beat out Deborah Coyne and Richard Mahoney for the nomination. The number of members voting was up compared to
the last nomination in 2011, which saw Vandenbeld nominated with 550 votes. Lee Farnsworth, president of the Ottawa West-Nepean Federal Liberal Association, said the party has an excellent candidate in Vandenbeld. “She knows the riding well, having run in the last election when she did very well,” Farnsworth wrote in an email. “This time it will be an unheld riding since John Baird is moving over to the new riding of Nepean so we are confident that we will return Ottawa West-Nepean to the Liberal fold.” The new Nepean riding is one of 30 set to be added in
time for the 2015 federal election scheduled for next fall. According to her website, Vandenbeld is an expert on democracy and human rights. She worked as a senior advisor to the United Nations, during which she authored a study on women’s political participation and provided advice to Bangladesh as a technical specialist on parliamentary committees. She also re-opened the National Democratic Institute office in the Democratic Republic of Congo during the 2011 elections there. She was awarded the Canadian Peacekeeping Service Medal for her work as a senior advisor and deputy chief
of the political parties section for the Organization for Security Co-operation in Europe in Kosovo. In Canada, Vandenbeld served as director of parliamentary affairs in the leader’s office, where she oversaw the development and implementation of the government’s democratic reform action plan. Vandenbeld was born in Calgary and obtained a master’s degree from York University, where she also completed the course requirements for a PhD in Canadian politics and constitutional history. She now lives in Ottawa West-Nepean with her partner and step daughter.

Artist creates tribute painting following downtown shootings Proceeds from sale of print will support slain solder’s young son Erin McCracken
erin.mccracken@metroland.com
News – With paintbrush in hand, Katerina Mertikas was in the midst of creating one of her trademark colourful paintings when news broke that a soldier had been shot at the National War Memorial in downtown Ottawa.
When word came later in the afternoon on Oct. 22 that Cpl. Nathan Cirillo had not survived after being shot by lone gunman Michael ZehafBibeau, Mertikas grabbed a blank canvas and let her emotions pour through her brush. By 11 a.m. the next morning, as Canadians were still trying to come to grips with
the attack on the Canadian Armed Forces reservist, Mertikas had painted five-yearold Marcus Cirillo saluting his father standing in uniform nearby in front of the National War Memorial. The painting is aptly named, “Honouring My Father.” Mertikas said she was very

emotional as she painted the colourful images, which include the Parliament buildings and the Chateau Laurier. The Upper Hunt Club artist is known for depicting poignant childhood scenes awash in vibrant colours. “I thought, ‘What would my children do?’ I would salute my father,” Mertikas said of her inspiration. “I thought, it was just an unprovoked thing,” she recalled. “It was awful. You don’t need thousands of deaths to feel. This one death touched us. It was just tragic, unnecessary, cold.” Her husband took a picture of her artwork and posted it on Mertikas’ Facebook page. It was shared about 300 times. As word spread about the tribute painting, she was contacted by former Ottawa mayor Jacqueline Holzman, who met with Mertikas and Terry Koyman, owner of Koyman Galleries, where Mertikas’ works are sold. Proceeds from the sale of each $124 print of the painting will go to the Marcus Cirillo Trust Fund. The last two digits of the price tag were chosen to reflect Cirillo’s age when he passed away. “That man was 24, just on the verge of his life,” Mertikas said. An image of the painting was posted on Koyman Galleries’ website the evening of Oct. 30. By the next morning, more than 30 prints had already been ordered. The reaction to her painting and the support she has received have been so overwhelming and exciting for Mertikas that she couldn’t

I don’t know what to say,” she said. “People were touched by this. It’s not just about the painting. It’s the idea behind the painting. It’s the son. “A lot of people want to be part of something.” Mertikas is also working with the mayor’s office and
plans are in the works to determine where the original painting will be displayed, possibly at city hall. A suggestion has also been made to present the first print of the painting to Marcus. “It’s taken on a life of its own,” Mertikas said of the painting.

Arts - An annual tradition is taking shape within the confines of the Ron Kolbus Lakeside Centre. The Lakeside Players, a west end-based, non-profit theatre group, has spent the past quarter century drawing community talent to its performances, including the youth that make up its November pantomime. This year’s panto, which promises to be engaging, music-heavy, and reliant on audience participation, tells the classic tale of The Sleeping Beauty. A total of 32 children aged five to 14 make up the cast and chorus of the production, which runs Nov. 6 to 9. “It’s our 22nd annual pantomime,” said Lakeside Players president Harold Swaffield. “Each year (the cast) auditions for the panto in June, and are chosen by directors.” The panto format allows audience members to voice their reaction to on-stage characters, and this performance is no different. People are encouraged to “boo” the villain and cheer for the good guys. In keeping with the fun atmosphere of the panto, the casting diverges from the ordinary on a regular basis. Swaffield himself plays the queen, while his sister plays the king. Chorus director Cathy Dowsett said the production has become an ingrained part of the surrounding community, with returning performers automatically allowed back in the cast. Rehearsals begin in September. “They tell friends, who tell their friends, and so on,” said Dowsett. Last year’s panto set an attendance record for the Players, as more than 1,000 residents made their way into the Ron Kolbus Centre. “The audience, as well as cast members, comes back each year,” said Swaffield. “Last year’s was our biggest … and we’re hoping for the same this time around.” Tickets for The Sleeping Beauty can be purchased by calling 613667-2224, or by emailing tickets@ lakesideplayers.com. Information on the players and their performances can be found at lakesideplayers. com.
Canadians owe our freedom and quality of life to our Veterans. We are grateful to members of the Canadian Forces who have served and to those who are currently serving our great country. Veterans’ Week allows us to reflect about our Veterans and to pay thanks to those persons who made the ultimate sacrifice. There are many commemorative ceremonies and events taking place across Ottawa and Canada during this week. River Ward is home to many Veterans and their families and to the Royal Canadian Legion – Strathcona Branch “595”. I am honoured to participate in the Strathcona Branch’s Remembrance Day Parade and Ceremony again this year, where I will be laying a wreath on behalf of our Ward. Thank you to all of our Veterans and their families. We are forever grateful and will continue keeping you in our thoughts and prayers.

Remembrance Day
November 11 is a day we remember You might think the legacy of World War One hangs on by a tenuous thread — as sad as it is, there are no longer any living veterans of that war. But we have the red poppy pins, In Flanders Fields, and countless books and movies to keep the story alive and to remind us of what Canadians won and lost in the conflict of 1914-1918. Here are a few of the reads that best recount the era, with all its glory and losses.
Youth fiction. The book Road to War: A First World War Girls’ Diary, 1916-1917 is a fictionalized first-person account that makes it real. The author puts a young woman in an active role as a WWI ambulance driver on the French front. Youth non-fiction. The Horrible Histories Handbook: Trenches Would You Survive World War One? Is an engaging look at the stark realities of ground warfare with great illustrations. non-fiction. For a Pulitzer-prize winning overview, read The Guns of August: The Outbreak of World War One, by Barbara W. Tuchman. For a contemporary re-examining of Canada’s role in the conflict, check out military historian Gwynne Dyer’s Canada in the Great Power Game: 19142014. For an interesting twist, try Canadian anthropologist Wade Davis’ sweeping account of World War One and what it meant for mountaineering; it’s called Into the Silence: The Great War, Mallory, and the Conquest of Everest. novels. First published in 1920, Erich Maria Remarque’s All Quiet on the Western Front has become a classic. For the romantically inclined, Birdsong, by Sebastian Faulks, has been on best book lists for the last 21 years.

Gingerbread, apple combine for tasty upside down cake Lifestyle - Gingerbread is often served with applesauce. In this twist, applesauce is in the batter itself, providing moistness, and more apples are used as a topping. Preparation time: 15 minutes. Baking time: 35 to 40 minutes. Serves 12. Ingredients
• 375 ml (1-1/2 cups) all-purpose flour • 15 ml (1 tbsp) ground ginger • 5 ml (1 tsp) baking soda • 2 ml (1/2 tsp) each ground cinnamon and salt • 75 ml (1/3 cup) each vegetable oil and molasses • 125 ml (1/2 cup) packed dark brown sugar • 1 egg • 125 ml (1/2 cup) unsweetened applesauce • 25 ml (2 tbsp) minced ginger
Topping • 50 ml (1/4 cup) butter, melted • 175 ml (3/4 cup) packed dark brown sugar • 500 ml (2 cups) sliced, peeled apples (about two) Preparation
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, ground ginger, baking soda, cinnamon and salt, and set aside. In a large bowl, beat together the oil, molasses and
brown sugar. Next, beat in the egg until it’s smooth. Stir in the applesauce and minced ginger until it’s smooth, and set aside. For the topping, pour the melted butter in a 1.5-litre (nine-inch) round cake pan, brushing butter up the sides. Spread the brown sugar evenly over the butter. Arrange the apples on top. Stir the dry ingredients into the egg mixture until it’s just moistened. Pour the mixture over the apples. Bake in a 180 C (350 F) oven for 35 to 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean. Let it cool in the pan on a wire rack for five minutes. Run a thin spatula around the edge of the cake to loosen, and then invert it onto a serving plate. Foodland Ontario

Farm Boy Local Food Fair made a tasty impression
Connected to your community
By David Johnston metroland media

Owner Charbel Hanna is proud that his product is popular at Farm Boy and across the region. “Our pita is known as ‘Healthy Choice’ because it has no preservatives, no sugar and no fat,” says Hanna. “We are happy to have our products sold through Farm Boy stores. It has been a tremendous advantage for our business.” Similarly Emily Peachey of Peachey Honey Farm had good things to say about working with Farm Boy. “We love our relationship with Farm Boy. It has really helped our business become established.” Farm Boy customers were all smiles at the Food Fair. Eager to sample the delicious offerings, the store was buzzing with ex-

Mother put decorative touch on salt pork barrel kitchen. Once again she lamented that on her very first visit to the farm in Northcote, when she came face to face with the sauerkraut and salt pork barrels, smack in the middle of the kitchen, she was ready to race right back to New York. She said she was greatly relieved when Father assured her the sauerkraut barrel would be moved to the summer kitchen as soon as the brine had settled, where it would freeze solid. But that still left the little salt-pork barrel. Father said it needed the warmth of the kitchen, and besides, it had sat in the very same spot for three generations, and furthermore, there was no other place to put it. And so every day, once fall had settled in, there sat the
MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories lidless barrel, with nothing but a big dinner plate covering the opening, and ever so much smaller than the one that held the sauerkraut. But as far as Mother was concerned, it was a real eyesore. And that’s when Mother got the idea that she would make a skirt for the barrel. She had enough Dan River material left over from two blouses she had made for Audrey and me, and it would do nicely to cover the unsightly salt pork barrel. So one morning, after we had heard the old foot pedal churning away on the Singer
sewing machine long after we had gone to bed, we came down to find the little barrel covered from top to bottom with a mauve and yellow flowered skirt. Since there was no lid on the barrel (the plate had been removed), Mother had simply made the skirt with a round inset at the top, and both Audrey and I thought the whole idea added a lovely touch to the kitchen. “Nonsense,” we could hear Father mutter in his saucer of green tea when he came in from his morning chores in the barn, scanning a look in the corner of the kitchen near
The importance of planning and designing your project Take some pictures, sketch a few mock-ups, and if you have it available, use computer software to create a virtual version of your final project.
When planning your outdoor space Nepean’s own Canlok Stone canlok.com understands it can be overwhelming, especially when it comes to finding the right landscaper for the job. However, many in the Ottawa-Carlton region have found that some research and a focus on your project’s goal can be significant factors in making it successful. Before finding a landscaper, take some time to learn about your space by taking good measurements and considering
exactly what it is you want to do with it. This can go a long way when working with your contractor to figure out how to best arrive at your desired outcome. If you’re working on the project by yourself, planning and getting accurate measurements is even more essential, as without them your project likely won’t be completed correctly, if at all. It’s also important to visualize what your space looks like now and what it will become.
Additionally, always keep in mind your space’s final goals. Are you looking to create an outdoor kitchen complete with a BBQ or is your main goal a quiet garden with a tranquil waterfall? It may seem obvious, but each project has different needs. When you’re working with your landscaper, take time out to ensure the materials such as stones are appropriate for the job at hand. To make your project an easy and successful one, reach out to Canlok Stone. With 43 years of experience, they know how to help you complete your project correctly, safely and with ease all at a great price as well.

the ice box. Mother paid him no heed. She had even moved one of the straight backed kitchen chairs, the only one with arms on it and the one Father favoured, to sit on at the dinner table, beside the little barrel, and commented that it now looked like a little end table. She reminded us not to set anything on top, though, as the small circle of material covering the top wouldn’t hold. So there it sat, adding a bit of colour to that corner of the kitchen. Father added “nuisance” to his complaints about the Dan River skirt, because now he had to take it off to fork out a slab of saltpork. Often, he just let it lie in a heap on the floor by the little barrel, which annoyed Mother almost as much as when Father slurped his tea out of his saucer. Aunt Bertha on the next farm thought the skirt was a lovely idea and said she was
going to do the same thing to their little pork barrel. Everyone thought it was fine except Father. Our minister never seemed to have a reason to pay a visit. But his call always seemed to be at mealtime, which Mother said assured him of at least one good meal that day. And so that Saturday, just before noon dinner, in walked the minister, Bible in hand, and even though it was a cold fall day, with snow flurries dusting through the air, the sweat was pouring off his round, fat face. Mother took his coat, and told him to “please be seated, Reverend.” He headed for the armed chair, plopped down like a sack of grain, wiped his face with the sleeve of his black shirt, and placed his bible on top of the pork barrel. It was a big Bible, and well worn. It was the one he carried up to the pulpit every Sunday. Well, it sunk into the

other never quite got used to having the salt pork barrel in the
pork barrel, like a stone in a wash tub, taking most off the skirt with it. He looked at it for what seemed like a full minute, and then reached down into the barrel and pulled it out. It was covered with salt water, and brine crystals had already settled on the cover of the Bible. Mother rushed over, grabbed the Bible and was wiping it up and down on her apron as she headed for the dish pan and a dry tea towel. The minister decided he’d be on his way – he’d be back on another day, he said, never taking his eyes off the pork barrel, now with most of the skirt inside it. It looked like the Bible was finished. But that Sunday, there he was, walking up the aisle to the front of the church with the four members of the choir, and the battered Bible clutched in his hand. He always nodded to those in the pews, but he didn’t give us as much as glance. Emerson swore he could smell salt pork off the minister as he passed us at our usual place in the very front row.
CHEO launches legal fight against gene patents Erin McCracken
erin.mccracken@metroland.com
News - Ottawa’s regional children’s hospital has launched an unprecedented Canadian legal challenge against five American patent holders that have exclusive rights over human genes and related genetic mutations on heart conditions, which it says is not only “morally objectionable,” but is also creating roadblocks to providing prompt patient diagnosis and treatment. “Genes are naturally occurring,” said Dr. Gail Graham, clinical geneticist and chief of CHEO’s genetics department. “They belong to all of us and we think patenting a gene is a lot like patenting air or water. It just doesn’t make sense.” Toronto-based law firm Gilbert’s LLP filed its legal challenge in Canadian federal court Monday morning, coinciding with CHEO’s announcement that it is the first Canadian hospital to take on gene patents in the country. The test case the firm will base its courtroom battle on over the next two to three years is the patent for testing of Long QT, a potentially life-threatening genetic heart rhythm disorder that can cause fast, irregular heartbeats that can lead to fainting, seizures and in some cases sudden death in a very healthy young adult. CHEO has two specialized
tests its geneticists would like to put into practice, allowing them to identify the Long QT gene mutation, and allow patients to be treated quickly. But because of the patents, they can’t reveal to doctors whether a patient has Long QT because they are muzzled under patent law. “That is unacceptable,” said Graham. “You can imagine being a doctor and sitting across from a patient knowing they’ve had this test and that they might have Long QT syndrome, and if they do you don’t know about it because the lab scientist who has that mutation (information) can’t tell you about it.” After years of hunting for answers about what killed her mother and grandmother when they were in their early 20s Katherine Dines’ was finally diagnosed as having the genetic disorder in 2002, thanks to CHEO. Genetic testing confirmed she and her two young daughters have Long QT. “It was bittersweet because at least for me it was a final confirmation and my children now have information to go forward and plan their futures,” the Carleton Heights resident said. She said she couldn’t fathom the idea of not being immediately told she had the syndrome because of a gene patent. “I would say that’s criminal to do that to a person,” Dines
said. Calling the patenting of human genetic information “morally objectionable,” Graham said the case is about breaking down barriers to patient care,at a time when there are likely more gene patents pending. “Long QT is just one gene, but there’s nothing stopping people from patenting more and more and more genes, and eventually we could be sending all of our patients’ blood samples to the United States and missing out on the power that these technologies are giving us to help families,” Graham said. The problem reared its head in Canada about four years ago when the Ontario Ministry of Health gave CHEO the green light to begin testing for Long QT, which can affect one in 2,000 to 2,500 people The American patent holders sent the ministry a ceaseand-desist letter laying claim to their exclusive right to diagnose the genetic disorder. Because of that, Canadian hospitals are forced to send their patients’ blood samples to two labs south of the border to test for the abnormal gene. It costs the ministry between $1,500 and $3,300 – twice what it would cost CHEO to do the same test in its own genetic labs. Shipping samples out of the country also means a longer wait for test results.
their lifestyle to safeguard their health, said Graham. The case could go all the way to the Supreme Court of
The sooner a patient is diagnosed, the quicker they can be treated with medication and counselled on how to alter
Canada, CHEO’s legal team said. A similar case is unfolding in Australia, and last year the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that patenting of genetic mutations related to breast cancer was not allowed because they occur naturally within the body.

Bare Bottoms no more for local mothers in need Nepean diaper drive collects for the Ottawa Food Bank Brier Dodge
brier.dodge@metroland.com
News - When Shauna Quinn gave birth to her daughter, her family experienced the financial struggle of a newborn. Extra costs arrived every
day, ranging from food, equipment, clothing, and the dozen or so diapers a newborn often goes through each day. So she decided to do something to help mothers in difficult financial shape. She started a diaper drive, now R0012971665

Ottawa West News - Thursday, November 6, 2014
in its fifth year, to collect diapers for the Ottawa Food Bank to distribute to families in need or in shelters. While online, she noticed a program that collected diapers to distribute, and tried to find something local in Ottawa. “There was nothing in Canada,” she said. “So I started my own.” Disposable diapers come in seven sizes – newborn and then one through six – but parents often move their child into the next size as soon as possible. If a baby wears a too small diaper, things can get messy quickly, Quinn said. That means it’s common for parents to have half a package or more of unused and undersized that are prime for donating, she said. “You always have leftover diapers,” she said. “You don’t wait until your child reaches the end of the size to transition.” The Ottawa Food Bank doesn’t accept open food items, but they make an exception for open packs of disposable diapers. By donating to the Ottawa Food Bank, they can allocate diapers where they are most needed
Brier Dodge/Metroland
Shauna Quinn with a donated pack of diapers at the diaper drop-off for the Bare Bottoms Diaper Drive at the McDaniel’s Independent Grocer near Merivale and Meadowlands. on a year-by-year basis. From birth to the potty-training stage, a child goes through an average of 7,500 diapers, Quinn said – a cost of about $3,000. The first year of the diaper drive, she collected 7,500. This year, she aims to pass the 10,000 mark. She has set up a drop-off at the McDaniel’s Independent Grocer near
Merivale and Meadowlands, where she works. She is actively looking for a second drop-off location, preferably in the east end. Anyone wishing to get in contact about donations or to set up a drop-off spot can contact Quinn at BareBottoms@outlook.com. You can also follow the diaper drive on Twitter at the handle @BareBottomsDD.

An introduction to affordable art Final showing of late John Mlacak’s paintings set for sale on Nov. 15, 16 Laura Mueller
laura.mueller@metroland.com
Ottawa City Councillor — Bay Ward Dear Neighbours, I would like to first say thank you, for giving me the opportunity on October 27th to continue to work as your City Councillor in the coming four years. I am once again humbled by your support and the trust that you have put in me to represent you around the Council Table.
Laura Mueller/Metroland
Kanata Lakes artist Meghan Thomas will show and sell her watercolour oil paintings at the Gift of Art on Nov. 15 and 16. said Russell. “Your family will always be like, ‘Oh, that’s nice,’” she said. “But it’s nice when somebody (else) says they like it. You get a lot of honest truth, too.” For art buyers, it means they can leave with a story directly from the artist about the motivation and inspiration behind the piece, Russell said.
The Gift of Art show has supported Hospice Care Ottawa in the past. This year, some of the gallery’s members collaborated to adorn small decorative houses that will be sold at the pop-up shop as part of the Homes for the Holidays tour event Nov. 14, 15 and 16. For more information, visit kanatagallery.ca, or visit the gallery, next to the library at the Mlacak Centre.

Arts - The annual Gift of Art show and sale will pay tribute to an icon of Kanata’s art scene: the late John Mlacak. The painter and founding father of Kanata died Sept. 19, but the legacy of art he left behind will be on display and for sale in a private room at the Beaverbrook library branch in the building named after him, the Mlacak Centre at 2500 Campeau Dr. Mlacak, who was 78 when he passed away, was known for his community activism and his political career as former reeve of March township. Mlacak’s vision for a “garden city” where the homes fit into nature is evident in his landscape oil paintings. It is the last scheduled public showing of Mlacak’s work at this time. Along with Mlacak’s works, 27 artists from across the city will display and sell paintings, textile works, photographs and sculptures in the upper halls of the Mlacak Centre on Saturday, Nov. 15 and Sunday Nov. 16 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days. It’s an occasion that both new and seasoned artists hope will introduce newbies to the world of original art. Meghan Thomas, a Kanata Lakes resident who will exhibit her landscape oil paintings at the show for the first time, says many friends in her age group didn’t know that they could get a piece of original, one-of-a-kind artwork for around the same price as a print from a chain retailer. “In my age group – people in their ’30s and ’40s – people would buy something to decorate their walls at HomeSense,” Thomas said. “They could get something for the same price at this show.” Dozens of original pieces of all sizes will be one sale, with prices ranging from $50 to $3,000. Taxes are included in the listed prices and payment plans are available, said Judi Miller, a longtime gallery member and organizer of the Gift of Art show. She will again be showcasing her textile works. Miller and another artist, Wendy Russell, said the show has been good to the gallery’s members over the years by introducing them to new customers and giving them a venue to make sales in the important season leading up to Christmas. “It’s one of the few places we get to show a large body of work,” Miller said. It’s also one of the few times the artists can get feedback from a large number of potential buyers who are ready to offer praise – and criticism,

Rain gardens being installed along Sunnyside Avenue Pilot project to help manage and treat storm water run-off michelle.nash@metroland.com
News - New landscaping features being installed along Sunnyside Avenue aim to help better redistribute storm water in Old Ottawa South. The “green street” measures on Sunnyside are a part of a larger project focused on creating traffic calming measures for the area, based on the Old Ottawa South area traffic management study, which was completed in 2012. Right now, construction is underway to narrow of the streets, add crosswalks and curb extensions. Senior project manager Darlene Conway said the city added the idea to build “rain gardens” to the project to improve water quality and reduce runoff into the Rideau River. “Really it’s the genesis between city staff,” Conway said.
“(As part of) the study completed in 2012, we co-ordinated with that group because we wanted to do some storm water management because it’s an old neighbourhood and currently water goes into Rideau River untreated.” According to the city, rain gardens are planted in areas designed to improve water quality and reduce run-off using a combination of soil, plants, and mulch to treat and absorb storm water run-off. They can be combined with boulevard extensions to serve multiple purposes, including traffic calming, improved aesthetics and storm water management. There will be three rain gardens, one each at the intersection of Sunnyside and Leonard, Rosedale and Grosvenor avenues. The gardens will trapcapture dirt run-off from the road, which will be treated by the plants and soil and then can

Conway said that up to 25 millimetres of rain can be treated at one time with the new gardens, which will allow for a bit of “ponding” and re-

the goal is to find Old Ottawa South residents who will be interested in maintaining the garden after the pilot project is complete. “It would depend on the time of year, but the work could include re-mulching, cutting back dead material in the spring and debris collection,” Conway said. “It would be minimal, but would have to be done at certain times of the year.” If the pilot project proves to be successful, Conway said the city would look at other urban areas which could benefit from this type of retrofit along aging streets which were developed without proper storm water management. A short section of storm sewer between Bronson Avenue and Sloan Avenue will also be replaced and a section of water main installed at the north end of Sloane Avenue. The construction will be completed this season, including building the rain gardens but planting will not take place until the spring. R0052873810/1106

streets,” Conway said. A pilot project, these gardens will be monitored by Conway and staff over the course of two to three years to see just how successful they can be at treating road run-off. Conway said this type of treatment has been done in other cities in Canada, but not in Ottawa. “We have a different climate,” she said. “We haven’t done this thing before, so we will monitor them and track how well it performs.” The city will test water quality, erosion and flooding impacts. Conway said the gardens have also been designed to be able to sustain large amounts of snow during the winter. The plants which will be placed in the gardens Conway said will be hearty, tall plants. They will offer a bit of green to the streets and for the most part, Conway added most residents have approved of the project. Residents’ approval is important, Conway said, because
Museums corporation’s national artifact collections now online Initiative part of Open Data movement Ottawa West News staff
News - “Priceless” Canadian scientific and technological artifacts are now just a mouse click away. Data on the Canada Science and Technology Museums Corporation’s collection and operations are now available on the federal government’s new open data portal: data. gc.ca, as well as through the corporation’s data portal at data.techno-science.ca. In joining the Open Data movement, the corporation is looking to support open science and open government, it said on its portal.
“With more than 100,000 artifacts in the collection, highlighting Canadian achievements in science and technology over the past 150 years, the museums’ challenge is sharing these fascinating artifacts with as many Canadians as possible,” the corporation said. “The government of Canada’s Open Data initiative provides a useful and accessible way of sharing the collection with everybody.” “The national collection of artifacts under the custody of the (corporation) really belongs to all Canadians,” Alex Benay, the corporation’s president and chief executive
officer, said in a statement on Oct. 28. “By using the latest information technology tools at their disposal, Canadians can now devise a variety of ways of using the data about their national artifact collection at their leisure. The data being made available centres around the artifacts in the collections of the Canada Science and Technology Museum, the Canada Aviation and Space Museum and the Canada Agriculture and Food Museum. Available artifact data on the portal ranges from firefighting to bookbinding and from astronomy to photography. “Now that technology affords such possibilities, it is

perfectly logical that Canadians have full access to the data about their collection of priceless and technology artifacts.” The initiative is part of the federal government’s commitment to the Open Data movement nationally and internationally, Tony Clement, president of the Treasury Board, said in a statement. “Open Data is a global phenomenon that holds incredible opportunity to spur innovation and economic growth and improvement the lives of everyday citizens,” he said. The corporation invites anyone who makes a discovery or creates “new and unanticipated applications” with the open data to email collection@technomuses.ca.

Kidney donor recognized for lifesaving organ donation Erin McCracken
erin.mccracken@metroland.com
News - In the eyes of Jacqueline Nemeth, her brotherin-law Steve Mortimer moved mountains so she could one day climb one, a goal she never thought she would accomplish if he hadn’t donated his kidney. “I just got back from a hiking trip to Mount Assiniboine, which is on the B.C.-Alberta border,” she said of her September hiking trip up more than 2,100 metres. “One of the things illness teaches people is to live for now. I don’t want to miss anything because I sure feel great right now and I’ve been given this opportunity and a lease on life.” Nemeth received her second kidney transplant in September 2012 through the Canadian Blood Services’ Living Donor Paired Exchange national kidney transplant registry for incompatible donor-recipient pairs. Despite sharing the same blood type, Mortimer could Université d’Ottawa Université d’Ottawa

Steve Mortimer and his sister-in-law Jacqueline Nemeth, who lives in Vancouver, are all smiles the day after Mortimer donated his kidney, and Nemeth received a kidney, through the Canadian Blood Services’ national paired exchange program. not directly donate to Nemeth because her body would have rejected his kidney due to an antibody antigen in his blood. But thanks to the Cedardale resident’s willingness to provide the gift of life, a threeway organ donation exchange was set up among participants whose identities are not dis-
closed to one another. The Mortimers travelled to Vancouver in September 2012, where another pair and Nemeth were waiting. Mortimer’s kidney went to a female recipient, whose husband donated a kidney to an out-of-province recipient. And someone close to that re-
cipient donated their kidney to Nemeth. “It starts off a chain of events so that more people can benefit,” Mary Rada, a registered nurse and living donor co-ordinator of the Renal Transplant Program, based at the Riverside Campus of The Ottawa Hospital, said of Mortimer’s willingness to donate. Nemeth is also grateful for Mortimer’s gift. “I wouldn’t be alive if I hadn’t received my two transplants,” the 48-year-old said. “In the case of kidney donations, often direct donations happen, but when they can’t I think it’s really important that people know of the alternative that’s created through the paired exchange, because it’s a wonderful program that has saved hundreds of lives across Canada,” said Mortimer, who was among 36 donors recognized at a special ceremony held at the Civic Campus of The Ottawa Hospital on Oct. 14. Mortimer doesn’t consider himself a hero. “I think when it’s so close
to home and it’s so personal you don’t think of yourself that way. You think of it as stepping up to help a loved one in need,” said Mortimer, 47. “I had the benefit of witnessing as my sister-in-law had an incredible recovery from where she was to where she is now, and for me that’s been tremendously rewarding.” Nemeth, who lives in Vancouver with her husband, stepson and three teenage daughters, had suffered from kidney disease for much of her young life because of a malfunctioning duct through which urine passes from the kidney to the bladder. She received her first kidney from a deceased donor in 1987 at age 17. That kidney lasted about 25 years – far longer than the expected 10 to 15 years. In 2011, she was told she needed a replacement. For Nemeth, the second transplant surgery was done in the nick of time. Her lone kidney was functioning at just 10 per cent. “Basically when I woke up
from the surgery I felt better,” she said. Nine months later, Nemeth completed a mini-triathlon. “It’s something I would have loved to have done, but never thought it would have been possible for me, and the only reason it was possible was because of Steve giving me his kidney,” she said. “I feel better than I felt 10 years ago.” “For her to be able to do that was just amazing,” said Mortimer. “Just knowing that someone has had their life changed is great. It’s very rewarding.” The recent recognition ceremony was an emotional time for those recipients and donors who participated, said Rada, who has seen firsthand how kidney organ donations change lives. “It brings back the memories of what they’ve done,” she said. Between 40 and 45 living donor transplants have been conducted at The Ottawa Hospital annually in last two years.

Walking School Bus pilot underway Transportation authority hopes to expand project Adam Kveton
adam.kveton@metroland.com
News - St. Gabriel in Kanata Lakes is one of eight schools taking part in a Walking School Bus pilot project aimed at improving health and encouraging environmentally friendly ways of getting to school. The 12-week project, which began on Sept. 29, has students sign up to walk to school with a group of up to 10 students in the morning, led by a trained Walking School Bus driver. The pilot project already has the funding to continue past its end date of Dec. 19, said Vicky Kyriaco with
the Ottawa Student Transportation Authority. The project is currently being funded at a cost of $44,000, largely by Ottawa Public Health in partnership with the transportation authority. Some of that money is covering the cost of the Walking School Bus leaders. But the authority’s board is already looking at expanding the program past the eight initial schools to English Catholic and English public schools that demonstrate a commitment to active school transportation, she said.

Inclusive drum circle expands in Manotick emma.jackson@metroland.com
Community - Rhythm is the first known method of communication. So says Ottawa percussionist Derek Debeer, who leads a monthly therapeutic drum circle in Manotick. “The children have figured out that music is one language,” Debeer said. The 65-year-old musician from Zimbabwe makes a living teaching privately, but also works with kids through classrooms and community events offering what he calls a “rhythm safari.” Now, drum circle organizer Nathalie Wendling wants to open up that safari to even more people by moving her small basement group to the Manotick branch of the Royal Canadian Legion. On Friday, Nov. 7, people of all ages, abilities and backgrounds are welcome to the legion between 6:30 and 7:30 p.m. to “connect through music.” Since last February, between nine and 15 people have joined Debeer for
the monthly session that Wendling started in her basement to help her daughter, Melanie. Melanie has Cornelia de Lange syndrome (CdLS), a chromosomal disorder which can cause a number of physical and developmental delays. Over the winter, Melanie was too ill to attend school or participate in her regular activities. With most programs for kids with special needs focussed downtown, Wendling said it was doubly hard to get Melanie out of the house and meeting other people. “I said we need to get something in Ottawa South where these kids can meet people and do an activity,” Wendling said. That’s when she connected with Debeer. “It’s so social. It’s community support,” she said. “This is what we were missing in Manotick.” Already the group has proven a positive experience for people in the community. Osgoode resident Robert Chartier, who has cerebral palsy, said he loves

good for him, even if he doesn’t always drum. “He certainly enjoys being there,” Hodge said. “He likes to watch, and he learns by watching. It’s such a safe environment and it’s so dynamic.” Wendling said she only asks that people RSVP at drummmm.circle@ gmail.com before joining the group. Otherwise, no experience is needed.
She said she hopes to attract 30 people. The session costs $2 per child aged eight to 14 and for any persons with special needs. Youth aged 15 to 18 cost $5 and adults pay $10. Children under the age of eight are free. The legion is located at 5550 Ann St. across from the Mews. 1030.R0012968631

Large development proposed for Montreal, Vanier Parkway Seven mixed-use, height buildings planned Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com
News - A new proposal for Montreal Road could see the addition of seven new buildings at the intersection with the Vanier Parkway. A two-storey hotel currently occupies 112 Montreal Rd. and a single detached house occupies 314 Gardner St., but a new zoning bylaw application submitted to the city on Oct. 1 is seeking to change the look of both properties with seven mixed-use and mixed height buildings. The buildings will all be located on the south side of Montreal and to the west side of the parkway. Currently the property, which is approximately one hectare, features three different zonings and the applicant is seeking amendments to rezone everything to traditional mainstreet, which allows up to a maximum of 18-storeys as
well as residential and mixeduse buildings. The proposed development seeks access from both the Vanier Parkway and Montreal Road. A private street will allow access between each building. According to the application, a numbered company from Brampton, Ont. 1147310 Ontario Inc., would like to build four 18-storey residential buildings, one six-storey mixed-use building, a fourstorey residential building and a three-storey common building with shared amenity space. The proposal would add 607 residential dwellings and retail to the area. There is also a proposed two-level underground parking lot proposed for the site. The garage will encompass the entire site and will accommodate 545 parking spaces for residents and visitors, resident storage, bicycle storage and mechanical rooms.
SUBMITTED
The corner of Montreal Road and the Vanier Parkway could change with the proposal to build seven mixed-use, mixed-height buildings on the one hectare site. There will be no retail parking provided. According to the planning rationale submitted by Fotenn Consultants Inc. the six storey mixed-use building will front onto Montreal Road with retail at street level and five storeys of residential use above. The building includes 15 units, 300 square metres of retail divided into two units and 101 square metres of common

Provides safe, healthy way for kids to get to school Continued from page 33
While the goal of the pilot project is to evaluate the benefits for students of walking to school as well as any change in attitudes towards walking rather than being driven, the pilot will also function as a test to establish best practices. “We are also looking to see
how we might make this a system-wide approach,” said Kyriaco. “The OSTA board is already envisioning that this is going to be a program that will develop over time, so they’ve already attributed the funding to continue these particular Walking School Bus routes, and they’ve given us funding to start new R0012981679

with a theatrical blacklight show in Toronto that was a feast for the eyes. Liberace attended a showing of their original show, Aruba Liberace, and was so impressed he invited Famous People Players to perform with him in Las Vegas. Famous People Players opened in Las Vegas in October 1975; over the subsequent ten years, the company performed with Liberace internationally resulting in a CBC produced documentary, Carnival of the Animals, and a 1984 CBS movie-of-the-week entitled Special People.
down on the pollution and the parking congestion, so there are just so many good reasons to walk.” Hill said a survey done last year identified the biggest reason some parents don’t want their children to walk to school is safety. “Parents are concerned and they said, ‘Well we would have them walk if we knew they got there safely … This Walking School Bus addresses those concerns.” While some students can’t walk to school because of how far away they live, she said she hopes more and more start walking. Participation in Walking School Bus groups has been up and down so far, said Kyriaco. “It always starts a little bit slowly,” she said,
with some adopting the new program early and others waiting to see if it works first. “We’ve got some school communities that are totally on board and have filled up their quota, and there are other school communities where there is a very low participation rate right now, but we are anticipating that it’s going to increase with time,” said Kyriaco. For more schools to get a Walking School Bus group of their own, they will have to show they are dedicated to the idea, she said. “We’re not putting Walking School Buses in any school communities where there’s been absolutely no effort whatsoever because we know the

New general manager hired for public service recreation association Ottawa West News staff
News - A new general manager has been hired to lead the Recreation Association of the Public Service of Canada. Tosha Rhodenizer will helm the association, which manages the RA Centre, the largest
private not-for-profit recreation and leisure facility in Ottawa which serves thousands of members, the association recently announced. In touting Rhodenizer’s experience in facilities management, program development, fundraising and not-for-profit
management, Diana Monnet, president of the association’s board of directors said, “The RA is tremendously happy to have been able to bring in Ms. Rhodenizer to lead our historic association. “Our next GM had to have the skills and abilities to lead the RA strategically and inspirationally. The board of directors is confident that Ms. Rhodenizer brings the right mix of skills, entrepreneurial spirit and experience as leader.” Rhodenizer most recently worked for seven years at the National Capital Region YMCA-YWCA.
A��������
Academy, said to be the first initiative of its kind in Canada, which saw the enrollment of more than 1,800 Grade 6 students within three years in the program that encourages them and their families to lead more active and healthier lives. Prior to that role, she served as general manager of the Ray Friel Recreation Complex in the east end of the city.

Officer assaulted, shot fired during traffic stop
Erin McCracken
erin.mccracken@metroland.com
News - A traffic stop turned violent at Bank Street and Heron Road over the weekend after a suspect resisted arrest and punched an Ottawa police officer in the face, prompting a uniformed OPP officer in the area to fire a single shot at – and miss – the suspect. The 39-year-old driver of the vehicle that was stopped by two male Ottawa police officers for an undisclosed Highway Traffic Act violation is now facing several criminal charges after he was pulled over at 3:29 p.m. on Oct. 25. “During the stop, the individual who had been pulled over became combative and assaulted one of the officers as attempts were made to subdue him,” Ottawa police said in a statement. The officer who was punched suffered minor injuries and sought medical attention but not before the officers fired at the suspect twice with a conducted energy weapon, once unsuccessfully. “The prongs missed,” said
Const. Marc Soucy, Ottawa police spokesman, adding the second attempt was successful. Ottawa police could not say whether the suspect was fleeing at the time the OPP officer fired a single shot with his service revolver. “All that’s part of the investigation, which is not completed yet,” said Soucy, adding that the undisclosed reason why the
OPP officer was in the area at the time of the altercation is also a focus of the investigation. Soucy said he did not know if the suspect was known to police prior to the traffic stop. The driver of the vehicle faces four charges of assaulting a police officer, obstructing and resisting a police officer and driving with a suspended
licence. He was expected to appear in court before a judge over the weekend. Police are appealing to anyone who may have witnessed the violent altercation unfold to call the Ottawa police east district investigation division at 613-236-1222, ext. 3566, or make an anonymous call to Crime Stoppers by calling 613233-8477.

Young hockey players get a helping hand First Shift program gives parents assist when outfitting kids for new season Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland
Sports - Boys and girls were all smiles at the Canadian Tire Centre on Oct. 23 as they were fitted for their first hockey skates, shoulder pads and helmets. Parents’ grins were equally as wide as the children placed their equipment in new bags as there was no cashier ringing up an expensive total in the background. Players from the Orléans Minor Hockey Association took part in a new program, called the First Shift. The program is run by 30 local hockey clubs nationwide in partnership with Hockey Canada and Bauer Hockey. Parents paid $199 for their children, ages six to 10, to get all their hockey equipment
along with six on-ice sessions. The Orléans program will host the six sessions at the Ray Friel Recreation Complex. In order to be eligible for the program, the child cannot have ever been registered with a hockey club before, which ensures all the program participants are true beginners. It also gives them a first chance to hit the ice with other new players, as initiation level hockey introduces four-and five-year-olds to the sport. This gives slightly older children – ages six to 10 – an easy and affordable way to join in a favourite game. The families participated in the welcome event on Oct. 23 at the Canadian Tire Centre, where they got an overview of the program and a fit session on how to get their child ready to hit the ice. The 45 participants were
given absolutely all their equipment, including a hockey bag. “(Parents) don’t want to spend $1,000 knowing eight weeks later their child may lose interest,” said Bob Picard, director of competitive hockey for the Orléans Minor Hockey Association. “Equipment can be $300 to $400, plus about $350 in league fees.” Three generations Burd family came out to Kanata to see young Dezman get his first hockey gear. His grandpa paid for him to join the First Shift program, and accompanied the youngster along with his father. “It’s very well organized and excellent for the kids,” said his father, Jason Burd. Andy Bradbury, 6, said the trip to the Senators home rink to get all of his equipment was “the best day.” His mother, Jenna Sparks, said he was extremely excited. “They’ve done a fantastic job,” Sparks said.

Two Ottawa speed skaters finish on top Brier Dodge
brier.dodge@metroland.com
Sports - Two Orléans skaters, both of whom train out of the national training centre in Calgary, medaled at the International Skating Union Fall World Cup Long Track Selections in October. It gave them the results they needed to be named to the Canadian team which will compete at four long track speed skating world cups. Vincent de Haître and Ivanie Blondin, both former Gloucester Concordes who skated out of the Bob McQuarrie rink, won individual events at the selection and were named to the team. Blondin was named to the team for 1,000-metre, 3,000-metre, 5,000metre and mass start events; de Haître was named for 500-metre, 1,000metre and 1,500-metre events. Cumberland’s de Haître won the 1,000-metre event on Oct. 26 at the Calgary Olympic Oval with an impressive performance. According to Speed Skating Canada, de Haître is the 43rd skater in history to skate the kilometre in under one minute and eight seconds.

Cumberland’s Vincent de Haître competes during an event last year. De Haître and former Gloucester Concordes skater Ivanie Blondin won events at a selection event last month and have been named to the Canadian team to compete in world cup events. He finished ahead of current Olympic silver medalist Canadian Denny Morrison. Earlier in the week de Haî-
tre won the 1,500-metre event. “I’m really thankful for the guys in my training group,” De Haître said

in a press release. “They are all very strong and they push me every day, so I have to show up ready to race.”
Blondin, who grew up in Orléans, won the 16-lap mass start race on Oct. 26, one of two races she competed in that day. She also finished second in the 1,000-metre event. Speed Skating Canada said the mass start events – such as the 16-lap race Blondin won – will get a bigger push and gain more attention on the World Cup circuit this year because they have been added to the 2018 Olympic medal schedule. Both Blondin and de Haître represented Canada at the 2014 Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia. A third Ottawa-born athlete, Lauren McGuire, was also named to the World Cup team for the 3,000-metre event. McGuire was raised in Ottawa and trained with the Ottawa Pacers, a different club than Blondin and de Haître, and is now based in Calgary. She graduated from south Ottawa’s St. Patrick’s High School. The skaters will represent Canada at the first four World Cup events this year in Obihiro, Japan from Nov. 14 to 16, Seoul, South Korea from Nov. 21 to 23, Berlin, Germany from Dec. 5 to 7 and Heerenveen, Netherlands from Dec. 12 to 14.

because they’ve already had it. Your grown pup knows the bathroom is outside while your sophisti-cat will seek out her litter box when you first introduce her to your home. If your adult kitty has experienced the joys of the scratching post, she’ll choose that over your curtains — unlike a kitten who doesn’t know the difference. “sit” and “stay” are likely already part of your mature dog’s vocabulary. Change the life of a mature pet with a new home and watch the kitty purrs and doggy kisses roll in. As your local humane society, we hear many stories from happy adopters who chose to bring home an older pet and were thrilled by the loving, long-term bond

It can be hard to resist the young, energetic cuteness of a puppy or a kitten when adopting a new furry family member. Some people are even insistent they only want a young pet, ruling out those just a couple years older without even laying eyes on one. But mature pets have an edge over their younger counterparts in many ways. Adult cats and dogs, while full of life and energy, can also appreciate your occasional couch-potato ways. Take a leisurely stroll by the canal with your mellow canine instead of a mad dash with your puppy. Spend a Sunday catnapping to some classical music with a kitty who shares your refined tastes. These guys usually need less training

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.

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20
LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23
Conflicting messages confuse you this week, Aries. Just don’t let this confusion keep you from doing what you think is right. Choose a course and stick with it.
Libra, try your hardest to make a tricky set of circumstances work to your advantage. Working with a partner is a great way to get things done.
TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21
SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22
Don’t be too hard on yourself this week, Taurus. You really do not need to push yourself unless you are feeling motivated to do so. If you feel like relaxing, so be it.
Scorpio, you are better at dealing with things when they’re out in the light of day. You don’t like to be secretive, nor do you like the idea of others keeping secrets.
GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21
SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21
Gemini, stick to the outskirts of the room and be a quiet observer of what’s going on around you instead of being the center of attention. You may enjoy being a fly on the wall for a change.
Sagittarius, do not look at a current problem as something that will always block your success and happiness. Instead, use this obstacle as a way to get your bearings.
CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22
CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20
Cancer, this week you may feel an unusual need to be noticed and appreciated by others. Embrace the spotlight and make the most of this opportunity to share your thoughts.
Capricorn, though you may feel like lashing out at others, this week you show an impressive amount of self-restraint. Get through the week, and things will turn around.
LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23
AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18
Leo, you may find it hard to establish your priorities this week, but you have a good head on your shoulders and will figure out the path to take. Give yourself a chance to have fun.
The messages you are receiving from everyone around you seem mottled and mixed, Aquarius. Instead of socializing with others, maybe you just need some alone time.
VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22
PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20
Virgo, do the right thing even if it costs you something emotionally. Your actions may be carefully monitored, and someone is learning by your example.
Pisces, speak up if you do not feel you are receiving enough emotional support from your closest allies. Maybe they do not know how you’re feeling.
