Meet the West Ottawa Board of Trade Kanata chamber votes for new name at annual general meeting Blair Edwards
blair.edwards@metroland.com
News - New name, same organization. The Kanata Chamber of Commerce voted unanimously to change its name to the West Ottawa Board of Trade during its annual general meeting held at the Brookstreet Hotel on Wednesday, Sept. 18. The motion was given the final stamp of approval by the chamber’s board of directors immediately following the meeting. Members voted on a modified version of a motion approved in August, which was also passed unanimously, to change the chamber’s name to the West Ottawa Chamber of Commerce. But the organization hit a snag in the renaming effort when the Ottawa Chamber of Commerce sent a letter threatening potential legal
action if the West Ottawa name was adopted. Ottawa Chamber of Commerce president and CEO Ian Farris said in an earlier interview that his organization, founded under a special statute in 1857 and governed by the Federal Boards of Trade Act, owns the legal right to the name Ottawa Chamber of Commerce. Farris said the Kanata name change would be understood within the city, but businesses coming from outside the municipality’s limits may not understand the distinction between Ottawa and west Ottawa chambers. After meeting with the Ottawa chamber last week, the Kanata chamber agreed to a compromise, replacing the name chamber of commerce with board of trade. “We will still be the chamber of commerce serving Kanata, Goulbourn and West Carleton,” said

Rosemary Leu, the chamber’s executive director. “It’s a compromise, but I think we actually feel it’s a strong compromise. “We felt that this way we had a name that represents the members and no risk of us getting into a protracted legal fight.” The Kanata chamber’s 417 member businesses are located in the following areas: • Kanata: 55 per cent • Goulbourn: 14 per cent • West Carleton: 11 per cent • Nepean: 10 per cent • Greater Ottawa area: six per cent • Out of town: three per cent The name change will become official once it’s approved by the Ontario Ministry of Government Services. At the annual general meeting, members also voted to change the name of the organization’s president to chairperson. Rick Chase, a director of the Ottawa Marriott hotel chain, was elected president – soon to be chairman of the West Ottawa Board of Trade. Chase said the chamber promises to be more active in lobbying at city hall. “We’re trying to have more in-

volvement with city hall and trying to be the voice of the area when it comes to business,” said Chase. The Kanata chamber’s membership has grown this year to 417 businesses, an increase of 15 new members. “We grow every year,” said Leu.
The annual general meeting kicks off the start of an event-filled year for the chamber including: • Oct. 16: Cocktails and Commerce Business Showcase at the Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites, 101 Kanata Ave., starting at 5:30 p.m. • Oct. 22: Small Business Week breakfast at Next, a restaurant on 6400 Hazeldean Rd., starting at 7:30 a.m. The keynote speaker is Saad Bashir, director of economic development and innovation at the city. • Nov. 21: Food for Thought: Kanata’s food and wine show, at the Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites, starting at 5:30 p.m.

Police charge male after Beaverbrook assault News - Ottawa police charged a young man after he assaulted a female in Beaverbrook near Stephen Leacock Public School on Sept. 23. The male approached the young woman, pulling her into a wooded area of Gow Park, said police in a news release. “The female struggled with the male until he ran north into Lytle Park. The male was arrested a short time later,” said police.
The accused was charged with assault and forcible confinement, but police couldn’t release his name because of the Youth Criminal Justice Act. He was scheduled to appear in court on Sept. 24. The Ottawa police sexual assault and child abuse section is investigating the incident. Anyone with information is asked to contact the unit at 613-236-1222, ext. 5944 or phone Crime Stoppers at 613-233-8477 (TIPS).

The organization first put out a call to the community for help in June, followed by requests throughout the summer. Waters said she was overwhelmed by the support. “It blows me away how every time we put a call out to the community, the amount of support that comes in,” she said. “A huge thank you goes out to the community.” Volunteers packed donated school bags with supplies by grade after collecting schools’ recommended lists of needed items. “We gave them the essentials,” said Waters. “Everybody walked out with enough supplies to start.”

News - The Kanata Food Cupboard helped more than 160 people go back to school this year. The non-profit organization was able to help everyone who asked for assistance by providing classroom supplies, said Karen Waters, client co-ordinator for the food cupboard. “We need to thank the community for helping us,” she said. “The parents were overwhelmed.” The food cupboard assisted 60 families and 166 individuals in total: • 94 elementary school students • 58 high school, college or university students • 14 adult students
“I think that’s a pretty amazing amount of families we helped out,” said Waters. “Many of them wouldn’t be able to go (back to school) without our help.” The food cupboard was able to help a single mother of five children return to school. “She decided it was time to get off assistance and go back to school,” said Waters. “When you have a family with five or six kids, the expense is crazy.”

Community - Volunteers braved rainy weather and waded out into the mouth of the Jock River at the Rideau River, collecting samples of insects to test the quality of the water. Chelsey Ellis, a former Barrhaven resident currently living in New Edinburgh, said the event is held once a year, giving people a chance to get hands-on with nature. Streams, lakes and creeks are tested twice a year; once in the spring and once in the fall to get an idea of the health of the water, said Ellis, City Stream Watch co-ordinator. The Rideau Valley Conservation Authority, City Stream Watch, and the Ottawa Flyfishers Society hosted the
sixth-annual aquatic insect and fly fishing workshop at Jock River Landing on Saturday, Sept. 21. Participants spent the morning collecting invertebrates living in the water before learning how to properly cast a line. Adrienne Lewis, who grew up in Kanata and currently resides in Arnprior, demonstrated the “water dance” to the group, showing them how to stir up the silt to find the water-dwelling bugs. To perform the H2O twostep, participants twisted their feet into the bottom of the lake and used a long pole with a net on the end to scoop up anything that came loose. Dressed in rubber waders and carrying long-poled nets, volunteers took to the water to perform the water dance. After each turn, the nets were
emptied into white containers filled with water then sorted through to see what types of invertebrates are living in the river. Found among the silt were water boatman, crawfish, water scorpions and megaloptera, the latter being “an indicator of really good water quality,” said Lewis, an aquatic resource technician with the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority and City Stream Watch. The Rideau Valley Conservation Authority partnered with seven other Ottawa agencies – City of Ottawa, Heron Park Community Association, Ottawa Flyfishers Society, Rideau Roundtable, National Defense Headquarters - Fish and Game Club, Ottawa Stewardship Council and the National Capital Commission – to create the City Stream Watch. The purpose of the program is to gather, record and manage information on the health of waterways in the city.

Presidents prepared for 150 Carp Fair Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com
Cox was selected many moons ago by Linda Downey; Munro by Brian Howie. The former started in flowers in 2002, domestic sciences, sowing needle works, and the like. The latter started in field crops, then sheep, beef cattle, dairy, parking and more. Both have someone in mind to bring aboard, but are keeping it hush-hush until the annual general meeting. This year’s theme is Memories Old and New. The copresidents have plenty of old memories, having come to the fair as children. They say much has changed over the years. The rides have gotten faster, the number of farmers have gotten fewer. And everything has gotten a lot bigger. The midway and entertainment are a big draw, particularly for those from the city. But Cox and Munro insist the agricultural side won’t be forgotten. They are proud to say agricultural tent is growing, and the educational program – field to fork – demonstrating the latest production methods is popular with everyone. Asked what they’ll do with a few moments of free time on the weekend, Cox said she’ll
take in the horse shows and entertainment; Munro plans to bring is kids (ages 8, 6 and 2) on the rides and to the agriculture shows. However, both said the best part is bumping into people they haven’t seen for a long time. Many from West Carleton who have long since moved away still plan their holidays around Carp Fair weekend. “It’s all about seeing people, some you haven’t seen all year long,” Cox said. “And the kids don’t go to school on the Friday. That’s always been a big thing for kids in the village.” It takes hundreds of volunteers to run the fair. But Cox and Munro add that it also takes the generous support of dozens of sponsors, both from the business and individual realms. Only about 40 per cent of the costs of putting on the fair are bore by ticket sales. The remaining 60 per cent is paid for by sponsors. “We couldn’t run our fair

News – It may be another 150 years before Carp Fair sees more activities and events leading up to its birthday bash. Co-presidents of this, the 150th Carp Fair, are Wendy Cox and Matt Munro, a selfemployed accountant and Ottawa firefighter and farmer respectively. They didn’t seem too haggard and worn out when they met recently for an interview at the fair board office, though considering the work they undertook this year few would blame them for taking a chair from today to Sunday, the length of the Carp Fair. “It’s been busy – but exciting and fun,” Cox said. “I’m enjoying it.” And they are the first two folks to say many more volunteers on the fair board and off have pitched in to make a special year of the Best Little Fair in Canada’s special anniversary. There is little doubt events such as the barn dance in May could be pulled off without plenty of people pitching in,
not to mention Fairground Follies – the folk history play penned by Helen Weeden and Ian Glen. Among those who have dedicated the most hours this year is Peg Blair, author of Carp Fair: History in the making. “Her book is well done and sold well,” Munro said. “The Rural Root Theatre Company play was popular. They did a fantastic job.” A second mural is in place on the fairgrounds, attached to the lengthy seniors building. It is an ambition work by artist Pierre Hardy, featuring some 50 portraits of past, present and perhaps future volunteers. The theme is Everybody Loves a Parade in Carp. Overseeing all these projects and more planned for the Sept. 26 to 29 fair means Cox and Munro can say they’ve made their contribution to the community. The Carp Fair is unique in that the co-presidents of the day chose one person from the community to join the board. That person, if they accept, will spend the next 12 years rotating from one committee to the next until finally reaching the top spot.

Coping with tragedy
T
he awful events of Sept. 18 cost six people their lives. Naturally we all have questions about what went wrong when a double-decker OC Transpo bus struck a Via train near Fallowfield Station in Barrhaven. Yet, our priority in these days following the tragic event should be to care for those affected and let them know that their neighbours are here to help in any way they can. We will find out what happened as the Transportation Safety Board and Ottawa police complete their respective investigations. We may never know exactly why events unfolded as they did, but we’ll have a general idea. In the meantime, we should all make an effort to avoid speculation. Guessing at the cause serves no purpose and can only be hurtful. There is also no good reason to point fingers at past decisions about the design of rail crossing on Woodroffe Avenue and the Transitway where the collision took place. That crossing met all the existing standards of the day and is no different than hundreds – or possibly thousands – of crossings across the country. If that crossing is inherently dangerous then there is much work to do across Canada, and the federal government will have to help other levels of
government pay to keep citizens of this country safe by separating train lines for roads in many places. The TSB has committed to sharing all its information when their work is done and has also promised to alert the public and authorities if they find a glaring safety issue during their work. We can ask nothing more and nothing less. But as for now, many residents across Ottawa are bound to know someone who was on the bus, on the train or sitting in their car on Woodroffe Avenue when the collision occurred. This was a traumatic event, and those who witnessed it deserve our support to cope with the emotional fallout. Some will also know the families of the six people – Michael Bleakney, Connor Boyd, Karen Krzyzewski, Kyle Nash, Rob More and Dave Woodard – who lost their lives. Those family members need all the help and support this city can afford them. But perhaps forgotten among those who might be shaken by this tragedy are the OC Transpo bus drivers. It’s never easy losing a colleague, and many drivers may recall the times they’ve driven past that site and think it could’ve been them and their passengers. So next time you’re getting off a bus, take a moment to thank your bus driver for getting you there safe and sound -- their job is far from easy.

Messy as it is, democracy in action is a wonderful thing
L
ast week was Democracy Week, which you probably didn’t notice either. There could have been something said about it in Parliament, but the House of Commons was prorogued. So most of us didn’t notice until it was too late. Except that it’s never too late to think about democracy. Why do so many of us, who live in one the most free countries of the world, decide not to vote when we get the chance on election day? Why do we, who are better educated than people in most countries of the world, know so little about public affairs? And why do we not care? People blame television for this. More recently, people blame the Internet. People blame the parents of Canada, who are too busy watching television to talk to their kids about democracy. People blame politicians for being such bozos. People blame the news media, who care more about sports and Miley Cyrus than about democracy. People blame our affluence and our freedom: We’re doing just fine so we don’t have to care about what our governments are doing. This is a big mistake, because government is with us every day -- sometimes less than we want, on issues such as homelessness, and sometimes more, on issues such as how

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town big a cross you can wear around your neck or whether you can put your inside furniture on your front porch. Most lovers of democracy are rightly steamed about Quebec’s charter of values, which stipulates what religious symbols government employees can’t wear. Less significant, but equally silly, are changes to Ottawa’s property maintenance bylaw, publicized recently, which would have required green bins to be stored in back yards. This has something to do with bureaucrats thinking green bins don’t look good on front porches. The same changes also contained a provision that indoor furniture shouldn’t be outdoors -- in other words, no chesterfield on the veranda. Nobody around city hall twigged that such

recommendations might cause inconvenience -- for example, to the many people in the city who don’t have back yards or garages or other places to keep their green bins out of sight; or people who can’t spend money on cool-looking outdoor furniture for their front porches. Away from city hall, people did notice, however. The proposed changes became subject to public debate and seem, like Quebec’s charter of values, on their way to being laughed out of existence. Mind you, the charter of values might take a little longer. In their rather different ways, both issues are examples of democracy being put to improper uses. We don’t elect a government to tell us what to wear on our heads or put on our front porches. In a democracy we can have whatever we want on our heads or our front porches, as long as we aren’t endangering anyone or interfering with anyone else’s rights. Putting the chesterfield on the front porch is fine as long as you’re not sitting on it playing the bagpipes at three in the morning, or vermin aren’t escaping from it (the chesterfield, not the bagpipes) into the neighbour’s yard. The chesterfield might not look so nice, but that’s a question of taste, and we don’t elect governments to rule on taste. If we did, politicians would dress a lot cooler than they do
and their office walls wouldn’t have so many plaques on them and pictures of the politicians shaking hands with celebrities. We are allowed to have our own tastes, especially if they are bad. Because who’s to say? Wide ties may come back. Obviously, the people sense this, hence the uproar, hence the retreat by city hall. This all happened during Democracy Week, by the way. Exercising the right to yell and protest and cause a public uproar is democracy in action. It’s messy sometimes, like the chesterfield on the front porch, but we’re comfortable with it.

Oh Quebec, I hardly knew ya!
I
t was just weeks ago I flooded these pages with prose about my love of all things Quebecois. Quebec Premier Pauline Marois and her gang have cut my love affair short. The proposed Quebec charter of values, which seeks to ban public servants from wearing religious attire, is an affront to our democracy, our freedoms and all things Canadian. The charter – in direct contradiction with the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms -- would essentially forbid those working in public institutions from wearing religious dress. Excepted are small crosses and Star of David rings. Hijabs, oversized crucifixes and kippas are banned. The ban applies not only to desk-job civil servants, but also to childcare workers in provincially-run daycares and health care professionals working in public hospitals. There is no doubt in anyone’s mind that the proposed legislation – designed to “protect the national identity” of the Quebecois from
BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse imaginary external threats -- is nothing short of racist. Before I get to the racism part, however, let’s talk about the imaginary threats -- because, even if there was justification for the Parti Quebecois’ Marois and company to “protect Quebec’s national identity,” – which there isn’t – there is absolutely nothing threatening the white, Christian population of Quebec. According to statistics, more than 82 per cent of people living in Quebec identify as Christian; 12 per cent have no religious affiliation; three per cent are Muslim; one per cent are Jewish and less than half a per cent claim to be Hindu or Sikh. Where, exactly, is the threat? As La Presse journalist Patrick Lagacé noted in
his Sept. 11 column in the Globe and Mail, however, the point of this legislation is not to demonstrate racism, but the PQ is “part of a party that was scared to death in 2007 when it realised that identity politics in 21st-century Quebec have little to do with protecting French and everything to do with the public sphere of individual displays of religion – displays other than the ones Quebeckers were used to, at least, Muslim ones, mostly.” So yeah, racist politics. You know, for the sake of politics. In other words, the PQ looking to secure its popular voter base, which presides in the very white, very Catholic, very small town regions of Quebec. (Support for the charter of
values where Quebeckers actually live with visible minorities is very low). But look, there is an upside of putting these issues out front and centre – we get to see just how racist we all are. People in every province have weighed in on the Quebec charter debate and the results have been both horrifying and at the same time honest. In Quebec, support for the PQ’s secular charter of values is hovering just above 40 per cent. Online comments from Canadians in other parts of the country would suggest that those who support a secular society in the rest of Canada likely represent a similar number. Many scholars have pontificated on the subject of racism. While most of us believe that the Charter of Rights and Freedoms makes Canada some sort of holier-
than-thou, politically correct society, it’s actually come out in some academic circles that Canadians may, in fact, be more racist than our American counterparts and that our political correctness stifles any meaningful discussion or development on subjects of accommodation. By masking, rather than facing our beliefs, we actually perpetuate subtle prejudice, rather than putting it out in the forefront. So thanks, Marois. While you’ve definitely thrown a bucket of cold water on my love for Quebec nationalism – including the love of wine, food and, well, kissing , and all that has always seemed integral to your secular well-being – you’ve simultaneously forced all Canadians to grapple with our internal prejudice. And since your bill doesn’t have a chance on God’s green Earth of becoming law in Canada -R0052274634
where the Charter of Rights and Freedoms resides supreme and religious freedom is considered one of our integral rights – I’ll consider taking a bottle of wine over to my secular Muslim friend’s place and hashing it all over. I just hope she isn’t wearing a scarf that day -- for fashion reasons or other -- or I’ll have to send her straight over to Quebec’s new squad policing the subject. But wait! As the Globe and Mail’s Jeffrey Simpson questioned, “Is the province now going to have a clothing-andsymbols police squad the way religious police in Iran check to see if any hair is showing beneath women’s head attire?” I think not. So, my Muslim pal and I, we’ll risk the wine and maybe, even, a Hermes scarf. You know, just for fun.

DYING FOR DIGNITY
Connected to your community
Hospices face critical conditions With hospital beds at a premium and the seniors’ population set to double, the city is in desperate need of more palliative care options METROLAND EAST SPECIAL REPORT
T
errence Quickfall knows he is going to die. He was diagnosed with prostate cancer seven years ago and the slow moving cancer continues to advance. “It’s very traumatic when you’ve been told you have cancer and you need to learn how to deal with that – the trauma, the big C. What the hell do you do, where do you go from here?” asks Quickfall. He received the traditional treatment – chemotherapy, radiation and hormone therapy – at a hospital but became depressed and withdrawn. “The trouble with a hospital is it’s very clinical,” he says. “There’s not enough personal attention, personal care. They’re always busy, busy, busy. “I’m stuck in these bloody four walls, I can’t get out. There’s no point in me hanging round, I’m not doing anything. And I’m taking up a lot of money that could be used on other people.” Sensing his distress, his social worker mentioned the option of hospice. Intrigued, Quickfall visited the Hospice at May Court, located in Old Ottawa South. The non-profit – a part of Hospice Care Ottawa, which includes Friends of Hospice Ottawa in Kanata – offers specialized support and a wide range of services to people and families experiencing a lifelimiting illness, either in their homes or through residential programs at one of their two locations. After four months of attending day programs at May Court, the 73year-old has found a sense of community and belonging. On a regular visit, Quickfall can be found painting in the art room, talking to other patients, enjoying the garden views or playing cards with friends he’s made through the hospice. “We’re all in palliative care; palliative care is preparation for end of life,” he says. “We all know we’re going to die, but we’re here to have fun and that’s what we’re damn well going to do.” Quickfall plans on taking advantage of a residential bed at the hospice when his time comes. Aside from offering more personal attention, the cost to the health-care system is much lower. A residential

Terrence Quickfall became depressed when his cancer treatments kept him cooped up inside the house. But after joining the day hospice program at May Court, Quickfall says he is in much higher spirits. He visits twice a week to paint, play cards and chat with his friends.
DYING FOR DIGNITY A three-part series about hospice palliative care in Ottawa Part 1: A look at palliative care in the Ottawa area and the need for more resources as the population ages. hospice bed comes in at $400 a day, while a hospital bed is between $800 and $1,200. But hospice beds are in high demand and the supply isn’t where it should be. A report by Hospice Care Ottawa states 75 per cent of people with a terminal illness pass away in hospital and only 15 per cent of those patients receive quality end-of-life care. With a population close to one million people, Ottawa should have 70 hospice beds; that estimate allows for population growth and increasing mortality as the population ages. But the city only has 17. As baby boomers age, Ottawa’s seniors are expected to make up 20 per cent of the population by 2030. The number of deaths are expected to rise from 9,000 to 19,000 a year and 90 per cent of those people could benefit from hospice palliative care at the end of life, according to
10 Kanata Kourier-Standard EMC - Thursday, September 26, 2013
the report. Currently, fewer than 300 people have access to hospice palliative care in the city each year. Although the idea of hospice palliative care isn’t new – home support programs have been available in Ottawa since 1987 and residential hospices since 1997 – the way society thinks about end-of-life-care needs to change. Instead of focusing on a person’s last days, palliative care needs to begin at the initial stage of diagnosis, says Dr. José Pereira, head of the division of palliative care at the University of Ottawa, and medical chief of the palliative care programs at Bruyère Continuing Care and the Ottawa Hospital. “We relegate it to the very end and we make the wrong decisions in the meantime. People suffer,” he explains. “As a society, we still think of pal-
liative as being only the last few days of life. The problem with that is we then miss the opportunity of preparing for the end of life. We miss the opportunity of improving quality of life, of improving symptoms, pain, shortness of breath, etcetera – of having these discussions much earlier,” says Pereira. “This is something that as a society we need to start rethinking.” In preparation, Ottawa must have resources in place to help people in every aspect of the palliative care continuum – something that is sorely lacking. “Fifty-two per cent of cancer patients are dying in hospitals,” says Pereira. The reasons? A lack of preparation and a lack of hospice beds, he says. Quickfall is one of the lucky ones – receiving the type of quality care that the report says is needed.
See video of Terrence Quickfall’s full story: ottawacommunitynews.com /ottawaregion-video/
“We desperately need more of these day programs, we need more hospice,” says Quickfall. “The baby boomers are coming to the front now, totally unprepared. We never seem to
think these people are going to get old one day. The days are gone when you retired at 65 and died at 66. Now, we retire at 55 and die at 95, and in that 40 years anything can happen.” CAN’T MEET NEEDS
Until recently, there were only nine beds available at May Court. Eight more beds were opened earlier this year at the Embassy West Senior Living centre on Carling Avenue. “We have them full pretty well all the time,” says Hospice Care Ottawa executive director Lisa Sullivan, adding the average length of stay is between 12 to 15 days. “There is definitely a need out there for hospice beds and when we opened more beds, within a couple days they were full again.” There will be two more beds by October and there are plans to build a 10-bed residential hospice in Kanata by 2016. But even then, that will only bring Ottawa to less than half of what’s recommended. Only a year ago, the city was operating two separate hospices: the Friends of Hospice Ottawa and the Hospice at May Court. The two organizations joined forces in an effort to integrate funding and services for the city. Continued on page 11
DYING FOR DIGNITY Continued from page 10
Currently undergoing rebranding, the organization is now called Hospice Care Ottawa and has been working hard not only to get funding for its $1.7 million operating costs, but also to fill the gaps with other fundraisers and donation opportunities. Government funding only covers 40 per cent of the hospice’s total costs. Local health integration networks, which are funded by the province, pay $90,000 per bed – the standard across Ontario. “When they say $90,000 per bed that just covers the (registered nurse), all those who serve the needs of the patient,” Sullivan says. That money doesn’t help hospices purchase equipment, run day programs, or offer grief and bereavement counselling. “We have some services but they really just scratch the surface in terms of meeting the needs of our clients,” says Sullivan. “We can’t meet the needs of everyone in Ottawa. That’s a real area of concern.”

BY THE NUMBERS
Ottawa projected population growth 55+ from 2011 to 2031
75%
Three-quarters of all deaths in Canada occur in hospitals and long-term care facilities.
2,565
The number of people admitted to residential hospices in Ontario between March 2012 and March 2013. Of those admitted, 94 per cent died in hospice.
$40,000
The cost of dying in a hospital ranges from $10,223 for a sudden death to $36,652 for terminal illnesses including cancer and $39,937 for organ failure. Up to 70 per cent of the costs for terminal illnesses are due to hospitalizations. It costs around $15,866 for cancer patients to die at home.
We can’t meet the needs of everyone in Ottawa. That’s a real area of concern. LISA SULLIVAN EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, HOSPICE CARE OTTAWA
The hospice, which includes home-based hospice services, relies on the community to raise the additional 60 per cent to remain open every year through events, monetary donations and grants to pad the funding, says Sullivan. “It’s a real challenge, but that is why we do things like Hike for the Hospice, Home for the Holidays and Girls Night Out,” says Sullivan about community-based fundraising. “Without fundraisers, we wouldn’t have the services that we do.” For the executive director, dying is an important part of living and she says people need options when it comes to end-of-life care. “If it’s at home, how can we as a community support them for being at home?” asks Sullivan. “The longer we can keep them at the home, connected to the right services, give them the support they need, the less likely they are to go through those emergency doors and end up in a hospital bed. “If it gets to be too much at home, if the caregivers are exhausted, then they should have the choice of having a hospice bed available to them,” says Sullivan. PEACEFUL SETTING

tion deteriorated over the next two years, his family had a nurse visit in the evenings to help with his care. His wife, Kathleen, was his primary caregiver at home. But it became impossible after his chemotherapy was stopped. “It became a situation where, even though Lennox wanted to pass away at home, he just wasn’t able to because the cancer had spread through his whole body,” says Kathleen. “I felt fortunate that when the time did come, that May Court had a bed available for him,” she says. He passed away six days after being admitted to the May Court at the age of 51. “This was a devastating time in our lives, but to have our loved one cared for by the very special people at May Court in his final days gave us great comfort. We were allowed to be his wife and children without the stress of his daily care. But most importantly, Lennox was allowed to die with dignity,” says Kathleen, who now donates her time fundraising for
the hospice. “To have that bed available just took that stress away from myself and the kids. “It just allowed us to be able to spend those last six days with him in a more relaxed, calm, peaceful setting. The people that work at the May Court surround you with their compassion; they’re always there for you. That it just made that journey and those last six days of his life that much easier on us.” This type of care should be available to everyone who needs it, and that means more resources are needed. “Hospice care is an integral part of our health system,” says Sullivan. “We as a society recognize how important it is that dying is part of all our lives and that we create the kind of supports that people need during those last days of their life and make it available and accessible and as peaceful and as close to home as possible.” Special report by Michelle Nash, Jessica Cunha, Laura Mueller, Blair Edwards and Emma Jackson
The number of residential hospices in all of Ontario. Seventeen more are in planning. Almost all are located in urban settings. Rural communities are disproportionately underserved.
1,030
Ontario should have between 900 to 1,030 hospice beds with a population of 13.5 million. Currently there are 231 beds open, 10 in construction and 141 in planning.
$9M
The amount of money that would be saved by shifting 10 per cent of patients at end of life from acute hospital care to hospice palliative care. It costs approximately $4,700 per client to provide palliative care in the home, or about one-quarter of the $19,000 cost for acute care.
Next week Part two looks at a new regional program in Ottawa, which aims to make the city a leader in hospice palliative care in the province.

Hospice to announce one of largest donations in Ontario Two Ottawa philanthropists donate large sum, name new Kanata site Oct. 2 Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com
News - The Hospice Ottawa West Campaign will announce one of the “largest gifts ever received by a hospice” in Ontario on Oct. 2. Two Ottawa-area philanthropists donated a large sum of money and will be naming the new Kanata site, located at the corner of McCurdy Drive and Maple Grove Road. Hos-
pice Care Ottawa wouldn’t confirm how much was given before the announcement. “We’re so excited and thrilled to be getting this amazing support by our community,” said Kim Curran, campaign director. “It’s just such an important project that we’ve been waiting on in the west end for such a long time.” One of the largest monetary gifts to a hospice in Ontario, the campaign workers are also
looking to see if it’s the largest donation in Canada, said Curran. The timeline for the threephase plan for the hospice likely won’t change, she added. The first step is to renovate the existing building – formerly the Trinity Presbyterian Church – in order to move staff in by January; then bring in the day hospice programs; and finally, add a residential wing to the building that will house 10 hospice beds. “It means we will be able to create a compassionate homelike setting to utilize in the west end that’s much closer to home,” said Curran.
Currently, there are nine beds at the Hospice at May Court located in south Ottawa, and eight beds in a wing of the Embassy West Seniors Living Centre on Carling Avenue. Curran added that residents in the area have been “very supportive,” many signing up to volunteer with the hospice organization.
“We’re very, very fortunate to have such a great community, that we’re now a part of, getting involved with us,” she said. Hospice Care Ottawa is the amalgamation of Friends of Hospice Ottawa and the Hospice at May Court. The organization partnered with the Bruyère Foundation to raise
$6-million to complete the first phase of a city-wide plan to increase the number of hospice beds available. Everyone is welcome to attend the announcement on Oct. 2 from 11 a.m. to noon at 110 McCurdy Dr. but is asked to register by calling 613-5626024 or emailing asabourin@ bruyere.org.

Walk of hope raises money for psychiatric service dogs Sabine Gibbins
sabine.gibbins@metroland.com
News – Retired Capt. Medric Cousineau’s thoughts turn cold when he remembers the day he was injured rescuing two fishermen off the coast of Newfoundland in 1986. But whenever this happens, his service dog Thai immediately gets up and starts bumping into his knees or arm. It’s a gentle reminder from a brown-eyed, four-legged, tail-wagging companion for Cousineau to pay attention to him instead of dwelling on dark memories. Now Cousineau, who suffers from post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), wants to help other veterans. He concluded a 50-day walk which began on Aug. 1 in Shearwater, N.S., and ended in Ottawa on Sept. 19, raising money for other veterans who suffer from the stress disorder to receive service dogs. He stopped by the Kanata legion on Sept. 12 while

Julian Fantino, minister of Veterans Affairs Canada. Fantino announced last week a partnership between his ministry and
the Canadian Institute for Military and Veteran Health Research to develop a research project to determine the role of psychiatric service dogs in treating PTSD. Cousineau was injured while on active duty hundreds of miles off the coast of Newfoundland in 1986 while helping rescue two American swordfish fishermen. Two of the five members on board the vessel required an immediate medivac. “I came home and almost immediately started to manifest symptoms of a thing called post-traumatic stress disorder,” he said. People might hear about the mental health issue, but the problem, he said, is that it is mostly misunderstood. “In four letters they try to describe one of the most complex mental health issues, and it brims with what I call the laundry list of symptoms, which include depression, anxiety, panic, addiction, suicidal thoughts, night terrors, anger, rage, and trust issues.”

“What makes it such a devastating problem is each person gets their own version of it. Each person who suffers from PTSD falls under the same diagnosis, but is different to deal with.” In 2006, he experienced a full psychotic break, finding himself living in a woodshed by himself on his property. “I pushed my family away, not because I didn’t love them, but because of my anger and rage I was afraid I was going to hurt them. I was like that until 2012,” he said. In 2012, a friend recommended he read a book called Until Tuesday, about a veteran who suffered from PTSD and was paired with a service dog. Maybe there was hope after all, he thought to himself. But even so, he couldn’t afford it, but eventually got his local legion branch on board, and soon Thai, his service dog, came into his life.

Laura’s YIG keeping pace with changing community David Johnston
In the wake of big box stores and super stores offering a wide range of products from food to household goods, Laura Dubois is going back to the traditions that made local grocery stores an institution in Canada. Owner of the Your Independent Grocer at 300 Eagleson Road in the Hazeldean Mall, Laura has been in the grocery business for more than 25 years, having owned her own store for the past five. In that time she has seen the habits of shoppers transition from one-stop shopping to grazing and impulse buying. “Today people are less likely to do all their shopping in one location, unless that store can offer convenience and value to compete with the big chains,” observes Laura. That’s why she has revamped her store to offer more than 14,000 items in a wider range of general merchandise, specialty items and the highest level of customer service. New at Laura’s YIG are a natural health and wellness section, along with a ‘dollar shop’. “A lot of people are being more health conscious in their food choices,” points out Laura. “To meet that demand, we have created a natural health and wellness section that focuses on foods that are better choices. Gluten-free products and specialty foods for unique diets are part of our new offering.” A walk through the well-laid out, bright and spacious natural health and wellness section reveals a wide range of products from food staples to health and beauty aids, as well as vitamins and supplements. There is also a complete stock of traditional drug store items, such as bandages, creams, scents, hair products and related items. “We even have reading glasses for people who need something to help them see close-up.” Seniors will be impressed by the wide range of specialty items aimed at making life easier. From canes to shoe horns and comfort aids, the store helps customers ease into the aging process in comfort. Also for seniors and shut-ins,
for Canada Day celebrations. For Laura, the changes at her YIG are the result of listening to customers and providing what they want. “We want the shopping experience in our store to be personal and complete. Our staff is knowledgeable and trained to help our customers get the most from shopping.” Unlike large corporate stores, Laura says the 90 employees at her store are part of her extended family. “I am so proud of my staff. Everyone here puts the customer first, and that’s why this store has been an institution in the community for many years.” Laura is an active member of her community, which ’she A S says is one of R her favourite aspects of owning the U A L grocery store. “I am a big supporter of the Kanata Food Cupboard and I love giving back to my community.” A long-time resident of Bridlewood, Laura says her customers are her neighbours, and because of that personal connection, she feels compelled to provide the finest in food and convenience shopping. “We will strive to make our store the best it can be for the people in our neighbourhood. We appreciate the support of our customers who stayed with us during our renovations. We are proud to put our new face forward, while maintaining our reputation for traditional quality and caring, personal service.” The success of her formula can be seen on the faces of staff and customers alike. Smiles are common in the bright, clean store. There is an air of relaxed comfort that makes (In selected areas) shopping easy. “We will continue to expand our new wellness section and dollar shop to ensure that people can easily find what they need, without having to wait in endless lines or try to negotiate the miles of aisles in the big box stores.” For shopping convenience, Laura’s YIG is open seven days a week from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Call 613-5923850, or better yet, drop in and say hi.

It’s all part of her commitment to friendly, personal service. “Seniors are near and dear to my heart,” says Laura. “And since food is the heart of the family, we want to ensure that people can eat well when they can’t get out to shop.” The transition of the store doesn’t stop with health and wellness. Laura has also created a ‘dollar shop’
where customers can take advantage of inexpensive items in an ever-expanding array of products. There are cheap toys, picture frames, storage containers and all the items normally associated with dollar stores. “It’s all about convenience and price,” points out Laura. “We want to offer people the opportunity to buy all their basics in one place, without having to run all over town to find items in specific stores.” The new store layout makes it
easy and quick to shop for last minute items, like a birthday gift for a child’s party. “We have an entire aisle of toys and modestly priced games that are suitable for gifts. We also carry a complete line of seasonal toys, such as beach and water toys.” Also new to the store is a ‘celebration of occasions’ section where themed products will be featured on a regular basis.

Carleton remembers students, friends killed in bus tragedy Campus gathers on Sept. 20 to mourn Kyle Nash, Connor Boyd Steph Willems
steph.willems@metroland.com
News - Students and faculty of Carleton University joined together last Friday to reflect on the loss of two students who were among those killed when an OC Transpo bus collided with a Via passenger train near Fallowfield Station on Sept. 18. Carleton students Kyle Nash and Connor Boyd, both 21, were among the six people killed in the collision, which saw more than 30 other passengers on the bus sent to hospital. Longtime friends, Nash was enrolled in business information technology, while Boyd studied English at Carleton. A midday vigil held on campus was attended by university president and vice-chancellor Roseann O’Reilly Runte and Maureen Murdock, director of health and counselling services, both of whom spoke to
media following the event. “This has been a very sad time for Canada, for Ottawa, and for Carleton University – two of our students and one of our alumni are among those who lost their lives in this great, tragic accident,” said O’Reilly Runte. “We are all extremely sad this afternoon.” Runte said that following the accident, counsellors had gone to classrooms to meet with students and scheduled weekend drop-in hours for those who felt they need to talk with someone. In addition to an outpouring of sentiment from residents and representatives in government, words of condolences have poured in from other universities across Canada, said Runte. “We are extremely grateful for their support,” she said. When asked about the vigil – which included family members of the two students – Runte was somber. “It was a very solemn and appropriate remembrance of two very fine students,” said Runte. “We are always sad when there is a tragedy that befalls us, but we are also proud of all the students, faculty and staff who came together as a community to help each other and to celebrate the lives of two students and an alumnus by serving the community and giving

To meet students’ schedules, Murdock said staff will create drop-in hours during the day and have emailed those times and locations to the student body.
“The professors have been excellent at informing the students,” said Murdock. “Some of them know Connor and Kyle, some didn’t know them, but they appreciated having the opportunity to be told it was a student in their class, and being aware of this in case they need additional counselling. We anticipate seeing a number of students over the next few weeks.”
Counselling differs depending on what feelings or trauma an individual is experiencing. Besides possibly knowing the two victims who attended Carleton, Murdock said there have been some students who were on the bus and witnessed the horror of the accident’s aftermath. “Those are the kind of things we’re responding to,” said Murdock.

‘Loud bang, then awful screeching’ jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
News - Seconds before he saw the front of the bus he was riding on disappear Eric Nelson asked himself why the driver hadn’t hit the brakes. “We were about to cross the rail line and the safety arm had come down,” he said. “I looked over at the cars on Woodroffe all the other cars had stopped. That’s when he stomped on the brakes, but it was too late.” Nelson was one of the dozens of passengers on an OC Transpo bus struck by a train near Fallowfield station on Sept. 18. Seated about two rows behind the front stairwell at the top of the double-decker 76 express, Nelson said the first three rows of the bus were wiped away by the westbound Via train when the two collided. He added the bus was likely 90 per cent full. Amanda Brooks, 20, who spoke to the press with cheeks smeared by tears and dirt, said passengers were screaming at the driver to stop. Nelson said it was akin to a religious experience for him.
He says timing and luck saved him from being one of the fatalities. “If we had crossed two seconds later we would have missed it,” he said. “Two seconds earlier and it would have hit the middle of the bus and done a lot more damage.” Once the bus stopped, passengers made for the exit, which was tough because the stairwell was pretty much demolished, Nelson said. “We had to kind of hold the door up to get it out, because it was leaning on its side,” he said. When he got off the bus, he described the carnage on the train tracks as a war scene. “There were blood and limbs everywhere. There were people who were obviously very injured. I hope they survived. One guy flew 10 metres down the tracks during the crash so I doubt he did,” Nelson said. Police, fire services and paramedics rushed to the scene of the crash – where Woodroffe Avenue crosses the Via Rail train tracks at 8:48 a.m. Shortly after the crash, police confirmed five fatalities, including the bus driver. A sixth
person succumbed to injuries in hospital. Police have identified the deceased as Michael Bleakney, 57, Connor Boyd, 21, Karen Krzyzewski, 53, Kyle Nash, 21, Rob More, 35 and driver David Woodard. Thirty-one people were sent to hospital and three more people who left the scene of the crash later went to hospital. One more person died in hospital before noon, 10 more were in critical condition. Calline Au, a spokesperson for the Queensway Carleton Hospital said five patients who turned up at hospital on their own after the crash were released. Four were brought in by ambulance and one of those has been released. Two patients had already undergone orthopedic surgery. Au said one patient was waiting to undergo surgery for a minor fracture on the morning of Sept. 19. The rest of the injured were transported to the Queensway Carleton Hospital, the Montfort and the Civic and General campuses of the Ottawa Hospital. Hours later, Nelson was still in the parking lot of the train station with his pregnant wife.
ticed the front of the train slide to the right, accompanied by flying debris and smoke. “It hits you in the gut,” he said. “I could’ve been on that train.” Heather Hogan, who was about to board the train for Kingston, said the same thing. “I could have gotten on the train downtown and then I would have been on it,” she said. Hogan, who was on the platform as well, remembered the
As soon as he got off the bus Nelson texted his wife that there had been a major accident. She called him six times before he heard the phone and picked up. “It was hard to text because my hands were still shaking,” he said, adding he later called his boss and took the day off. Robert Evraire, who was standing on the platform at the time waiting for the train at Fallowfield station, said he noticed the train’s headlight went out. Then he looked up and no-
sounds of the crash. “First I heard this loud bang, then awful screeching,” she said, adding she didn’t know at first that the bus had been hit. “It looked like the bus was in the safe zone from where I was,” she said, adding she saw what she thought was the train’s conductor stick his head out the window to survey the damage. Hogan called 911 immediately upon seeing the crash. See INVESTIGATION, page 24

Investigation could take months: TSB Continued from page 23
Hogan said her first thought was for the people on board the train. “You hear of trains derailing or you see it in the movies, but I never thought I would see it,” she said. The picture was much different from inside the train said one man who identified himself as Ntuk. He was going to Toronto when he saw a blur and heard what he described as a series of bumps. “It stopped and then I realized we were off the tracks,” he said. DRIVER
The bus driver is one of five pronounced dead at the scene. He has been identified by police as David Woodard, 45, of Ottawa. Craig Watson, president
of the Amalgamated Transit Union local 279, said he had been on the job 10 years with a good driving record. “He was a nice guy,” Watson said. “Any of the drivers who know him will tell you he’s one of the nice guys.” Watson described Woodard as a family man from the east end of Ottawa. He added there is grief counselling available for members of the union. “This is devastating for the whole city and our hearts and prayers go out to anyone in the city whose been affected by this tragedy,” Watson said. While awaiting news of their loved ones, family members were directed to the Nepean Sportsplex. Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder returned to the Sportsplex after a brief press conference downtown. “I’ve got one focus and that’s
the people who were on the bus and the people whose family members were there,” Harder said. “That bus 76 goes entirely through my ward and for me it’s all about my community today.” A double-decker bus can hold up to 90 people, but it is not known how many were aboard the bus when the crash occurred, said OC Transpo general manager John Manconi. David Fraser, a disaster management volunteer with the Canadian Red Cross, said a dozen volunteers had been dispatched to help reunite passengers with their families. “People come in and give their information about their identity and that of the person they’re looking for and we try to connect them,” he said. “We also have volunteers here just to listen and to offer counselling.” Const. Marc Soucy, a spokesperson with the Ottawa police,
said grief counselling and victim services were on hand for the family members. He added those on board the train and bus were spread out across the city and were being interviewed by police and the Transportation Safety Board. Safety board investigator Glen Pilon said that the train contained a “black box” which would give information such as speed of travel at the time of the collision. Because of the severity of the incident, an investigation into the collision has already begun. The investigation could take months, said Jean Laporte, chief operating officer for the Transportation Safety Board. He said it is too early in the investigation to comment on questions about whether the bus driver was braking at the time of the collision or whether the bus drove through and damaged the rail-crossing gates. Pilon said that safety at crossings where trains and vehicles could potentially meet was already on the board’s safety watchlist, a document created in 2010. The watchlist indentifies the riskiest safety issues for Canadians, each of which has found “that action taken to date are

Six people died after an OC Transpo bus hit a VIA train near the Fallowfield train station in Barrhaven on Wednesday, Sept. 18. inadequate, and that industry and regulators need to take additional concrete measures to eliminate the risks,” said the safety board’s website. The watchlist recommended in 2010 that Transport Canada implement new crossing regulations, develop enhanced standards for certain types of crossing signs, and improve public awareness of the dangers at railway crossings. If any safety deficiencies are identified at the Woodroffe crossing during the course of the Transportation Safety Board’s investigation, they
would be identified to the relevant agencies and made public, Laporte said. However, the board does not have the authority to enforce any regulations or recommendations for corrective action. Watson said he has directed city officials to work “as cooperatively as possible” with the investigation to find out what led to the crash and how to prevent similar incidents in the future.

City fought against separating Woodroffe from train tracks Building an underpass would have cost $111 million Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com
News - The city fought for years to avoid the expense of separating the Transitway and Woodroffe Avenue from train tracks where a deadly bus-train collision took six lives on Sept. 18. City records show a gradeseparated rail crossing was recommended as long ago as 1999, when environmental study report looked at constructing the southwest Transitway extension. Still, the city continued to try and convince Canadian National Rail, which operated the line at the time, that an at-grade option would be best. The city proposed a number of options using “advanced signalized conditions.� CN sent an “emphatic refusal� for an at-grade crossing in a letter dated May 8, 2001, citing concerns about traffic volume and train speeds.
By 2003, the city had agreed to separate bus, vehicle and train traffic. Council authorized $12.4 million towards the $40-million project to gradeseparate the crossing. The idea of building a bus overpass was thrown out because the soil had poor capacity to bear bridge approach supports and the “vigorous� opposition of nearby residents on Fallowfield Road and the National Capital Commission, which would not accept the visual intrusion of an overpass. But a detailed geotechnical investigation revealed a potentially disastrous situation: according to a 2003 city report, unusually high groundwater flow patterns in the bedrock under the tracks could lead to “catastrophic failure� and possible severe impact in Barrhaven homes. Continuous pumping and a “massive� amount of concrete would be required if an underpass was built, according to a detailed safety assessment conducted in 2004. “It was determined that in view of the magnitude of this condition, the conventional open-cut underpass option should be abandoned due to an unacceptable risk,� the report reads. Beyond that, the cost to make an underpass option feasible would have been exorbitant:
$111 million, with more than $80 million of that bill falling to the city to pick up. The city was able to convince CN the level crossing was the best option. Two factors led to the change in attitude, according to a city report: the “exorbitant costs� of grade separation, as well as the changed train-speed conditions in the area thanks to the addition of a station at Fallowfield. That freed up grant money to be used for other projects, including such things as the completion the southwest Transitway to Fallowfield station and the widening of Fallowfield Road to Greenbank Road. At the time, Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder credited city staff’s “creativity� in convincing Via Rail that the road could be widened at grade, which allowed the other projects to move forward. Harder could not be reached for comment about the crossing after the crash. A draft safety report prepared in 2004 showed the atgrade crossing would have “a high level of safety exceeding that of the existing crossing� at the time. City manager Kent Kirkpatrick couldn’t immediately answer questions about how frequently the safety of that crossing must be studied.

A vigil was held for the victims and families of the fatal crash on Sept. 18 at the Fallowfield train station. High school student Alyssa Nicoletti paid tribute alongside her friends to the lives lost, saying she felt the Barrhaven community’s pain of losing their own neighbours. Via Rail, which now operates the line, commissioned a study earlier this year that looked at the Fallowfield station and train speeds, Kirkpatrick said. The city commented on the terms of reference, but that’s all he could say about the study during news conferences on the day of the crash. The gates at the crossing are maintained by a contractor, Rail Term, which is hired by Via Rail, Kirkpatrick said. Gurbakhshish Singh Bal, an OC Transpo operator, said he has never had any issues operating a bus on the Transitway at the rail crossing. “It’s a very wide vision. You can see it very clear from far,� he said. “I don’t know what happened.� Singh Bal said at the Woodroffe crossing, the train would usually be going slow because it would either be arriving at or leaving Fallowfield station. “They’re not fast, fast, fast coming. The lights are always working, everything is working. So I don’t find any problem.� According to the 2004 safe-
ty study, 12 passenger trains passed through that crossing. That number was expected to rise to 16 trains a day in both directions. SAFETY ISSUES
Safety at crossings where trains and vehicles could potentially meet was already on the Transportation Safety Board’s safety watchlist, a document created in 2010, said safety board investigator Glen Pilon. Between 2003 and 2012, there were 2,162 crossing accidents on Canada’s federallyregulated railways, which resulted in 266 fatalities and 346 serious injuries. The watchlist indentifies the riskiest safety issues for Canadians, each of which has found “that action(s) taken to date are inadequate, and that industry and regulators need to take additional concrete measures to eliminate the risks,� said the safety board’s website. The watchlist recommended in 2010 that Transport Canada implement new crossing regu-
lations, develop enhanced standards for certain types of crossing signs, and improve public awareness of the dangers at railway crossings. The crash is raising questions about other level crossings in the city – some of which have no protective devices like the Woodroffe crossing features. In a newsletter to constituents, Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson said she is asking questions about the safety of unprotected rail crossings, including where tracks cross Goulbourn Forced Road and Klondike Road. Wilkinson asked the city to install stop signs where the tracks cross Goulbourn Forced Road but was told signs couldn’t be placed there because there is no cross street, Wilkinson wrote to residents. She’s pushing the issue at city hall, but in the meantime, she is advising people to slow down or stop to make sure the way is clear before proceeding across the tracks.

Paramedic chief Anthony DiMonte said thirty-one people were sent to hospital immediately following the crash. Three more people who left the scene of the crash later went to hospital. One person died in hospital before noon and 10 more were still in critical condition. Calline Au, a spokesperson for the Queensway Carleton Hospital said five patients who turned up at hospital on their own after the crash were released. Four were brought in by ambulance and one of those has been released. Two patients had already undergone orthopedic surgery. Au said one patient was waiting to undergo surgery for a minor fracture on the morning of Sept. 19.

Police release information about crash victims News - Police have identified David Woodard, 45, of Orléans, as the driver of the bus that collided with a Via train on Sept. 18. The crash – which killed five men and one woman between the ages of 21 and 57 – left 34 people injured. Woodard’s wife Terry posted an emotional goodbye to her husband of 25 years on her Facebook page the day of the accident. “Today I lost my HUSBAND the love of my LIFE my best friend the father of my daughter and a great step DAD to the boys ... I don’t know what to say ... I want him back so much ... MISS you BABY ... be always in my prayers in my mind, but most of all in my heart ... life is not the same without you here ...” Craig Watson, president of the Amalgamated Transit Union, said Woodard had been on the job for 10 years and had a good driving record. “He’s a nice guy,” Watson said. “Any of the drivers who know him will tell you he’s one of the nice guys.” Watson described Woodard as a family man. He said the whole city is hurting as a result of the accident. “This is devastating for the whole city and our hearts and prayers go out to anyone in the city whose been affected by this tragedy,” he said.

David Woodard, left is pictured with his wife Terry. David, 45, was identified by police as the driver of the OC Transpo bus that collided with a Via train near Fallowfield Station on Sept. 18. The Montfort received 17 patients in less critical condition, while the Civic and General campuses of the Ottawa Hospital received four patients each via ambulance from the crash site. EYEWITNESS REPORTS
Eric Nelson, a University of Ottawa student who was on the route 76 express bus going to class, said the passengers were yelling at the bus driver to stop just seconds before the impact. “We were about to cross the rail line and the safety arm had come down,” he said. “I looked over at the cars on Woodroffe all the other cars had stopped. That’s when he stomped on the brakes, but it was too late.” The bus hit a slow-moving, Toronto-bound train, forcing it
off the tracks. Transit Safety Board investigator Glen Pilon said that the train contained a “black box” which would give information such as speed of travel at the time of the collision. Because of the severity of the incident, an investigation into the collision has already begun. Mayor Jim Watson said he has directed city officials to work “as co-operatively as possible” with the investigation to find out what led to the crash and how to prevent similar incidents in the future. “Obviously any deficiencies that are found on any of our roads or crossings or vehicles, of course we’d take immediate action,” he said.

TSB searching for answers Continued from page 26
The investigation could take months, said Jean Laporte, chief operating officer for the safety board. A team of 11 investigators from the TSB are on the site of the crash and will search for answers by: â&#x20AC;˘ Examining and documenting the accident site â&#x20AC;˘ Assessing and photograph-
ing the wreckages of the train and bus â&#x20AC;˘ Examining the crossing, its design and the sight lines of the track from the road â&#x20AC;˘ Determining whether warning systems at the crossing (bells, lights, barriers, whistles, etc.) were functioning correctly â&#x20AC;˘ Downloading and examining data from the locomotive event recorder and any GPS or other data
available from the bus While the safety board doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the authority to enforce any recommendations it might make to improve the crossingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s safety, Mayor Jim Watson said the city will look to comply with any suggestions. Any pressing safety concerns identified during the course of the investigation will be made public, Laporte said. SABINE GIBBINS/METROLAND

Service dog helps veteran recover from night terrors Continued, from page 19
After filling out an application to receive a service dog and undergoing training, he was soon on the road to recovery. “We came home and almost immediately things started to change within my life,” he said. Just to give those in attendance an idea of how Thai helps him overcome PTSD, he listed off a few of her responsibilities. Thai helps Cousineau in a number of ways, such as waking him up
when he has night terrors. “I suffer from a horrible recurring night terror, and 4:30 in the morning is the time when that would happen,” he said. “A night terror is not a bad dream. You wake up, the sheets are soaked, you’re flailing around, you feel like you’ve been beat up by a baseball bat. For 26 years, almost, that was my life each and every day.” Thai has been trained that she can sense when night terrors are coming on, and will gently nudge him awake. Didn’t get your

“If option A is the baseball bat option, and option B is to be gently nudged awake with a wet nose attached to big brown eyes with floppy ears, you’re taking option B all day long,” he said. Within the first week of having Thai in his life, he actually woke up one morning having not remembered a night terror. “I can tell you, your day gets off to a much better start,” Cousineau said. The other responsibility Thai has is to provide a physical space between Cousineau and another person to prevent any touching. For instance, if he is at a grocery store and someone taps him on the shoulder and asks him to pass a newspaper, that person might soon
be staring at his fist, he said. Thai has been trained to watch his back. The other special part of Thai is her ability to smell a change in one’s bio-chemistry. She can smell how fast his body chemistry changes if he’s having a flashback. When this is about to happen, she will start bumping into his leg and even jump on him – anything to get his attention trained onto her. It triggers in him another biological response, a chemical called oxytocin, otherwise known as the trust hormone. “In doing that, she generally stops me from travelling down that path that will get me nowhere,” he said. “We’ve become a team. I meet her
Thai got the star treatment from members of the Kanata Legion when she visited with Medric Cousineau on his walk. Cousineau said Thai’s psychiatric service dog skills are a blessing for him, as he suffers from PTSD.

needs, and she meets mine.” The idea for the walk came about while Cousineau was out walking Thai one time. Short walks would eventually lead into long walks, and the exercise became an antidepressant.

Ottawa River expedition ends as water info pours in
Steph.willems@metroland.com
News - The simultaneous testing of water from multiple points along the Ottawa River has given the Ottawa Riverkeeper the clearest image yet of the watershed’s overall health. The testing, carried out mid-channel on Sept. 14 by volunteer river watchers from Temniskaming to Hawkesbury, coincided with Alexandra Cousteau’s expedition to the Ottawa River and the filming of a three-part documentary on the unique threats facing the historical waterway. Meredith Brown, executive director of Ottawa Riverkeeper, said the organization set out to gather that information in order to create “a tool to engage local leaders and give individuals data and
tario’s agriculture belt, and the higher amount of nutrients (used in fertilizer) would be expected due to normal runoff. A cause for concern in the upper Ottawa this year was two large blue-green algae blooms, one near Lac Temiskaming, the other near Muskrat Lake. These algae blooms can seriously affect the health of a body of water. Limited E. coli sampling this summer saw high readings recorded in Gatineau’s Brewery Creek and near the Ottawa Rowing Club. E. coli levels can fluctuate greatly and are normally caused by storm sewer overflows – a phenomenon the Riverkeeper is advocating action on in Ottawa and Gatineau. The many jurisdictions and levels of government encompassed by the river’s watershed makes collective action on water quality a challenge. However, the Riverkeeper has made headway and is optimistic following Cousteau’s expedition, which will no doubt serve to raise the profile of the Riverkeeper’s work.
“It really gave a lot of people the opportunity to tell their stories and voice their concerns,” said Brown, adding one of Cousteau’s main points during the conference was to emphasize the difficulty in gathering a diversity of voices on the many issues impacting the river. “They’re uncoordinated and not sharing information. The challenge is trying to bridge those gaps and bring people together. We need action on all levels.” On Monday they welcomed Adele Michon, their new director of operations for Quebec – a three-year position that will allow the group to navigate the laws and policies of Quebec and its many municipalities. Brown is hopeful as they recently added new partners from Quebec into their river watcher fold and helped open the eyes of Gatineau politicians through their “bio-blitz” on Brewery Creek. The results of the Ottawa River testing are being loaded into a searchable online map for public usage.

knowledge.” Brown cautions that “citizen science” is not a substitute for in-depth monitoring, but it can shed light on some of the river’s afflictions. The 15 water quality testing kits handed our and utilized last weekend were able to deliver data on pH balance, water clarity and levels of phosphorus, nitrogen and oxygen. The kits were used at select points along the river, though budget requirements meant that all 40 river watcher locations couldn’t get in on the testing. Overall, the results weren’t too surprising, though there were some unexpected findings. “Essentially, as you go down the river – especially south of the National Capital Region – the water quality becomes poorer,” said Brown. “Nutrient-wise, in the midchannel the results were pretty negligible, which is pretty fantastic. South of the South Nation River, readings were slightly higher.” The South Nation passes mostly through Eastern On-

Aside from protection, Barrington said one of the aims of the organization’s new president is to get residents more engaged with the natural resource. Roy Sells said he’s cognizant there are a lot of new, young families moving into Barrhaven. “We would like to encourage walking, canoeing and other low-impact activities to encourage residents to enjoy the river,” he said, adding in the coming months, the organization plans to work with the city and the conservation authority on a plan to improve access to the river. “There are some parts that are hard to get in with a canoe,” Barrington said.

Neil Barrington, a longtime volunteer with friends of the Jock River said he hopes an upcoming public meeting will bring new blood to the organization. The meeting is open to the general public and will be held on Oct. 1 at 7:30 p.m. St. Joseph High School at 3333 Greenbank Rd. “Some of the volunteers have been with the organization since it was born, and it’s up to the next generation to step up to the plate and do their part now,” Barrington said. Barrington said an early version of the volunteer river stewardship group was born in Richmond in the ’70s and was reborn in Ottawa with the creation of the Rideau Valley
Conservation Authority’s watershed plan 20 years later. “They had a project that asked the community to speak about their concerns regarding the watershed and bring ideas to the table,” Barrington said. “It kind of grew out of that.” In the subsequent years the volunteers have worked with homeowners, developers and recreational users to safeguard the shores and wildlife. Barrington said it was the job of the Friends of the Jock to speak about developments that might do damage to the river. “It runs out of the Richmond fen,” he said of the Jock’s source, adding its one of the largest wetlands in eastern Ontario. “It’s pretty incredible that it’s so close to Parliament Hill.”

Scratch proved her worth as a house cat
A
s far as Mother was concerned, there were no “ifs, ands, or buts” about it when it came to having pets in the house. They belonged in the barn, and that’s all there was to it. The barn cats had litters, it seemed to me back then, every time the weather changed and every time a new batch of kittens came on the scene, I begged Mother to let me keep at least one in the house for a pet. I promised I would look after it. It would never wander through the rooms and I would feed it myself, so there would be no spots on the kitchen floor, which Mother kept as clean as a whistle. “No cats in the house,” she would say each time I asked. So I would have to play with them in the barns, where they were allowed to wander freely, some in the cow byre, some in the stable and often one or two in where Father kept the sheep. I would make sure they all
MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories had fresh milk every day and, of course, I gave them all names. My brother Emerson said giving barn cats names was just about the craziest idea he ever heard of, especially when there were so many. I paid him no heed. They came in all colours, but mostly they were grey or black with white spots. One batch produced one that was golden brown with white around its neck and a pure white tail. Emerson said it looked like its mother had been scared by a fox, whatever that meant. To me it was the most beautiful kitten I had ever seen. But it didn’t look like its mother had much love for it. To me it always seemed to be pushed aside, away from the other kittens. Neglected, it got thinner and thinner.
Emerson said it wasn’t long for this world and the best thing that could happen to it was to put it in a grain sack and take to the Bonnechere River. Needless to say that sent me into fits of crying and I begged Mother to let me keep it in the house until it had grown a bit. I even promised to knit an extra dishcloth without being asked, a task I likened to cleaning the outhouse. Finally, Mother relented. It would have to be kept in a box at night. I would have to take it outside to “do its business” and it would only be in the house until it was able to fend for itself out in the barn. I was so happy and that night I printed in my diary that for the first time ever, I was allowed to have a baby
kitten in the house. I called it Scratch because it loved to scratch on the side of the cardboard box which was its home through the night. It grew and flourished and every day Mother would warn me that soon it would have to join the other cats in the barn. The litter was born early in the fall and as the nights got colder I was eternally
could be heard across the Twenty Acre Field. I tore downstairs, not knowing what to expect and there was Scratch sound asleep outside the box and beside her, half mutilated, were two very dead mice. Now, if there was anything Mother hated more than the common house fly or pet animals in the house, it was a mouse! She was
Scratch, as long as she was “earning her keep,” was allowed to spend the nights in the cardboard box in the kitchen. grateful that Scratch was in a warm spot to sleep. Just before I went to bed every night I took Scratch outside and then put her into the cardboard box. She was growing so fast with my tender love and care that soon she would outgrow her night bed. Then one morning, even before I was out of bed, I heard Mother let a scream out of her that I was sure
sure they carried germs. It wasn’t so much that she was afraid of them, it was just that she thought they were the dirtiest critters on earth. There was little hope of keeping them out of the house, in spite of the countless traps spaced around the floor. Well, it was obvious how the mice had come to meet their maker. Scratch had done them in -- that was ob-
vious. That’s what changed Mother’s mind about having a pet in the house. Scratch, as long as she was “earning her keep,” was allowed to spend the nights in the cardboard box in the kitchen. She spent most of the winter there that year, but the day came when Scratch herself wanted to be out in the barns. She had grown full size and remained the only cat with the odd colouring. She sneaked around unheard and ignored the other cats completely. When I saw that she much preferred the hen house over the cow byre, I wondered if there was more truth than poetry to what Emerson claimed -- maybe there was a bit of fox-blood running through her veins.

Knights lose close game to Warriors Kanata Knights
Sports - The mosquito Kanata Knights had a rainy outing against the Bell Warriors on Saturday, Sept. 21, at Beckwith Field in Carleton Place. It was a hard fought battle in the foul weather with the Knights losing in overtime 7-6. The Warriors grabbed the lead in the first half. With a minute to go in regulation play, quarterback Jarred Valentino found receiver Kaseem Ferdinand to tie up the game and force overtime. Unfortunately, Knights player Evan Wakeman suf-
fered a broken wrist during the game. “His sacrifice is testament to the heart that you displayed as a team today,” said head coach Mike Brennan. “The coaches are very proud of all of you.” The Knights head into the next weeks with a three game run at home with the next game against the Cumberland Panthers on Saturday Sept. 28 at Robert Barr Football Field, next to the Kanata Recreation Centre. For more information, check out the Knights’ website at www.kanataknightsfootball.com.

Artworks inspired by quantum physics Jennifer McIntosh
jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
News - Gatineau artist Denis Larouche is adding another dimension to landscapes. Larouche’s upcoming exhibit at the Atrium Gallery at Ben Franklin Place pairs quantum physics – the study of physical phenomena at the microscopic level – with traditional landscape painting. “As a student I was always really interested in science,” Larouche said, recalling an experiment where the weight of a ball and the length of a plane determined where the ball would fall. “It was so fascinating, but I was bad at math so it was something I never pursued,” he said. “I went on to my art career and sort of forgot about it. But I always had the interest.” The exhibit will open on Sept. 27 with an opening celebration on Oct. 1 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. The works are striking and bring into focus theories like Einstein’s theory of relativity and Louis de Broglie’s theory on the wave-like behaviour of particles. Larouche said you don’t have to be a physicist to get
the connection. VISUAL FORM
“There’s one painting about the cycle of water, from gas to solid,” he said. “Nebulae for example, are made of gases and dust. They eventually turn to stars, so it’s like new life.” Larouche said as he learns more about the nature of what we are and what we are made of, he wants to translate this into a visual form and incorporate it his paintings. His primary medium is oil paint. The effect is to create visual metaphors that convey what a wondrous universe we live in, he said. “We hear so much right now about cuts to science and pure research,” Larouche said. “And yet all this technology that defines our time is a product of fundamental research in physics, be it lasers, CDs, MRI, television and radio, communications, GPS, and the list goes on.” Larouche is an alumnus of the Ontario College of Art and Design in Toronto. Originally from Québec City, Larouche is well travelled, having explored Canada, the United States, France, Italy, Spain, Morocco, Ivory Coast, Mali,

College gets into a lather with fowl soap Jennifer McIntosh
jennifer.mcintosh@metroland
News - David Fairbanks, a culinary professor at Algonquin College, said students have found a new way to use the byproducts from their cooking. “A lot of attention is paid to the type of farming, whether it’s free-range or sustainable and the transportation to your table,” Fairbanks said. “Not a lot of people talk about what to do with it after people have been served.” Every time a beef or chicken stock is made, there’s a layer of fat on the top, before a quick Google search, students just threw it in the garbage. “We thought about composting,” Fairbanks said. “But we wanted to see if there was someway to reuse it.” Fairbanks said it was about respecting the animal and not having any waste. Aside from uses for fat during an Internet search, students found instructions on making soap in an old reference book at the college’s learning centre.
“It was really great. It was about farming in the 1800s,” Fairbanks said. “We could learn a lot from them.” By retaining the animal fat, students have been able to make bars of soap, which they sell as a natural cleaning product. Their flagship soap, Dirty Duck, is made with duck fat, water and sodium hydroxide. The other selections – Filthy Beast, Raging Bull and Foul Fowl – are all made with different animal fats and the students’ special brand of spices. “It affects the smell,” Fairbanks said, adding the Filthy Beast soap has a hint of rosemary. Not only do the students collect their own fat, but they have begun crowd sourcing for waste from other restaurants. Fat comes from Double Happiness and Thyme and Again on Somerset Street, the Red Apron on Gladstone Avenue and The SmoQue Shack on York Street. After it’s collected, they boil it down to remove seasoning and then
transport it to Purple Urchin, a natural soap retailer, where it’s made. “It takes 30 days for the soap to dry off and be ready for sale,” Fairbanks said, adding the soap is available for purchase at the college’s Fitness Zone, Savoir Faire and www.dirtyducksoap.ca. money helps
Fairbanks said the proceeds from the sale of the soap go into an emergency slush fund designed to help students in need. “If students need help purchasing safety shoes, other equipment, or even just paying their rent one month, that’s what it’s there for,” Fairbanks said. While health and safety regulations prohibit students from making the soap – sodium hydroxide is caustic – Fairbanks said he would like to see culinary students handle the collection and marketing of the products. “It’s all about experience and hands-on learning,” he said.

Converted homes should count as infill, residents say City solicits ideas to solve density woes Laura Mueller
laura.mueller@metroland.com
News - Converting homes into apartments is a type of intensification and should therefore fall under the same rules as infill homes, people told city planners on Sept. 16. More than 200 people – many of them from Sandy Hill and Old Ottawa South – packed council chambers to hear from city planners, an Action Sandy Hill board member and an architect who designs converted dwellings. The unusual format was used to spark a dialog about how the city should change the rules about renovating homes to convert them into apartments. In a rare move, the city put a halt on all applications for converted dwellings earlier this year after hearing increasingly desperate concerns from residents, particularly in
took advantage of the lenient zoning the area has always had, meaning new and converted homes can tower over their neighbours, even though they follow the rules. Maximizing the city’s current housing stock by converting it to house more people is a good use of the buildings, Martin said. Low-scale intensification means the city won’t need to have as many tall towers to house its growing population, he said. It also adds to the diversity and affordability of housing options. Martin’s biggest issue that he wanted the city to change was its maximum setback rule, which limits the size of yards. Martin called it a “perversion,” because usually the city sets a minimum size for yards. Limiting the size of yards makes it difficult to provide the required amenity space. Martin also suggested the city could upzone to concentrate intensification in target areas to take the pressure of the rest of the neighbourhood, which could then be downzoned. Sandy Hill resident Barbara
neighbourhoods near the city’s two major universities, about myriad noise, parking and garbage issues that tend to result from housing 20 or more people in a home that used to have a family of around five. Chad Rollins, the Action Sandy Hill board member who gave a presentation about his neighbourhood’s situation, said one of the issues is the broad definition of conversions. Almost an entire structure can be removed as long as a portion of a wall or foundation remains. Revising that definition would help, Rollins said, and many participants in the Sept. 16 meeting agreed. Other suggestions included reducing the building heights and increasing yard setbacks in some areas most affected by conversions and creating an incentive program to encourage owner-occupied units in converted dwellings. Robert Martin, an architect who has designed a number of converted dwellings on behalf of Black Iris Developments, said one of the issues in Sandy Hill is that older homes were not built in a way that
LAURA MUELLER/METROLAND
City planner Tim Moerman, right, the city planner in charge of a study on the rules for converting homes into apartment buildings, speaks to residents during a Sept. 16 meeting at city hall. Brockman provided a similar suggestion that piqued city planners’ interest: she said the city should look at setting a maximum density for each street or each block. Despite the term “student ghetto” being bandied about all evening, participants in the sessions avoided blaming the social and propertystandards issues on students who tend to inhabitat the buildings.
Students are welcome, many participants said, but they would prefer to see a diverse mix of residents that includes families, seniors and students. The balance between long-term and transient residents is important, Rollins said, because long-term residents tend to invest more in the upkeep of their property and their community, he said.

Green living on display this weekend Green Homes showcase expands to Kemptville, Orléans emma.jackson@metroland.com
News – What does a condo in the Glebe have in common with a 160-year-old farmhouse in Chesterville? More than you might think: first and foremost, they’re both at the forefront of green living in Ottawa - and this weekend their owners and those of eight other homes across the region will welcome visitors to explore their green initiatives first-hand. The second-annual Green Homes Showcase hosted by the EnviroCentre, a non-profit group committed to reducing carbon emissions in Ottawa, has been greatly expanded for this year’s event on Saturday, Sept. 28. Organizer Rabita Sharfuddin said this year’s event has 10 homes – more than double last year’s four – and they are spread across the region from Kemptville to Orléans. It’s also a self-guided tour this year, which means people can come and go as they please instead of committing to several hours with a guide. “By having 10 homes in 10 different neighbourhoods it makes it easier to attend,” Sharfuddin said. “And visitors can pick and choose what’s relevant to them.” She said the 10 homes are all very different from each other, and feature a wide variety of green initiatives. That will make it easier for homeowners to pinpoint the stops they are most interested in. “Homeowners can find one that’s similar to their home, visit the home and talk to contractors,” she said. The tour runs from noon to 4 p.m. It includes two rural homes – the farmhouse in
Chesterville and a solar and geothermal-powered home in Kemptville – and eight urban and suburban locations. These range from a multiresidential co-operative home in Bells Corners to a single family home in Orléans to an infill development in Hintonburg. Visitors will be guided through the green renovations in each home and will be able to speak directly to homeowners, energy advisors, building professionals and contractors on site. The goal, Sharfuddin said, is to encourage residents to make similar green changes in their own homes. “We’re trying to promote green energy and green living,” she said, noting that such retrofits can benefit not only the environment but also the value of the home. THE 10 HOMES OPEN FOR VISITS ARE:
• Westboro: single family home at 296 Royal Ave using passive solar design and radiant floor heating; • Hintonburg: 1920’s retrofitted home at 69 Fairmont Ave and an infill project under construction on 15 Garland

Residents have had enough of johns, prostitutes michelle.nash@metroland.com
News - Residents who live around the corner of Richelieu and Lafontaine streets in Vanier met with police along with staff from the city and community housing to say enough is enough when it comes to prostitution. Although the number of “john sweeps” in the area has increased recently, with three occurring in the past two months, residents voiced concerns about street prostitution at a councillor-led meeting on Sept. 18. “Hookers line up along the wall like pigeons,” said resident Suzan Proulx, who described an area close to her home. “No one will want to buy homes here, even though it’s the most affordable option in the city.” Proulx was not the only one concerned about property values, safety and the constant “strange” cars seen at around the same time every day.
When it comes to the johns, embarrass them NANCY WORSFOLD
Louise Levesque, who has been a Vanier resident for more than 60 years, said she has had enough and wants Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury and police to help make a difference in her neighbourhood. The meeting stemmed from concerns raised around an Ottawa Community Housing-owned property, Richelieu Court, where residents say they hear screaming and loud noises at all hours and witness drug trafficking and prostitution on a regular basis. “There are good residents who live in that building, who don’t deserve to live with some of the other individuals,” Levesque said. To help field some of the questions and concerns, community housing executive director Joanne Poirier, as well as the district director for the east end, the head of security, and other OCH representatives, attended the meeting to discuss the property. As the meeting went on, however, the concerns quickly became more about the issues happening on the streets outside the property than on the site itself -- something OCH cannot control, representatives said. Some residents, like Levesque, email OCH after an event has occurred. She has even gone as far as attending tribunal hearings, stating this work could become her other full time job. “I’m glad you send us emails, we need to track events to be able to evict,” Poirier said. “We can’t have our tenants disturbing our neighbours.” Police Insp. Chris Rheaume encouraged people in the audience to be active in reporting crime by calling 236-1222 any time they see suspicious activity. “For people to take back their streets, its one at a time. Everyone
has to work together,” Rheaume, adding a complaint or concern is much stronger when it’s reported. “The recent john sweeps were based on complaints. It makes a difference,” he said. One resident, for example, witnessed 165 prostitution incidents during a 30-period and reported them all to police in one go. Rheaume said that work resulted in an immediate john sweep. Proulx asked what the community could do as a whole to help make a difference. “I want this place to be beautiful,” she said. “How are we going to move beyond this? Is it manageable? How is it going to get better?” Fleury said part of making the community better is working together, reporting crime and keeping all partners informed. “There is not one key that can make it work. If there was, we would put the key in the lock and it would work. It’s a combination of things that we need to do,” Fleury said. Crime Prevention Ottawa executive director Nancy Worsfold told resident they too can do their part. “When it comes to the johns, embarrass them. Send their plates to the police,” she said. Part of an ongoing program the police run, Worsfold said, is that police will send out a letter to whomever the vehicle is registered, stating the car was located in an area with a high volume of sex trade workers. Rheaume said he personally signs the letters and in some case, it’s just the right amount of embarrassment to keep that particular john from coming back. Levesque said there has been some incredible support from OCH staff and police and she simply asked for a stronger presence in the future. “We are the victims – we need it to stop,” Levesque said.

SERVING KANATA NORTH
City Councillor, Kanata North TERRIBLE TRAIN/BUS ACCIDENT Last week all of us in Ottawa, and across the nation, were shocked and saddened when an OC Transpo bus slammed into the engine of a VIA train, killing 6 and injuring more than 30, some seriously. It will be some time before all of the investigations are completed and we will learn the probable cause of this tragedy. At this time my condolences go out to the survivors, their families and particularly to the families of those who died. As a member of both the Transit Commission and the Transportation Committee I know that attention will be paid to any recommendations that come out of the investigation, including implementing them as soon as possible.

The 21-member cast of And So To Bed, a musical about 17th century England, acts out a scene during a rehearsal at the Britannia United Church on Sept. 17.
Play offers glimpse of 17th Century England jennifer.mcintosh@metroland. com
News - Gord Carruth, a local playwright, has stepped out of retirement to deliver a naughty musical about 17th-century England. And So To Bed, a musical Carruth penned earlier in his career, takes viewers into the pages of Samuel Pepys’ diary. Pepys was a naval administrator and a member of Britain’s Parliament. The play, which celebrates the return of King Charles – known colloquially as good time Charlie – tells the story of a young man trying to get ahead who falls victim to his own ambition. The play covers six years from 1660 to 1666, starting when Pepys was 27 years old. “I wrote it because I became really interested in the time period,” Carruth said. “King Charles was returning from exile in the French court and he brought back plays and music with him. It ended a kind of puritanical era.” Carruth added it was a
time of great conflict with the London fire, the plague and the loss of two Dutch wars. There is also conflict between the two main characters. Carruth said the relationship between Pepys and his wife was mercurial. The pair was married when Pepys was 27 and she was just 15. The story is compelling and the cast of 21 may be the best he has ever put together, Carruth said. The piece is being put together in partnership with the Restoration Players and Suzart, but GOYA actors Lesley Osborn (Menopositive) and Andrew Galligan (Gabriel). Aside from the experienced cast, Carruth said the music is some of the best work he’s done. “It’s bawdy,” he said. The story introduces viewers to King Charles’ court, along with scandalous poet John Wilmot and the kings mistress and actress Nell Gwynne. The play hits the stage at the Centrepointe Studio Theatre from Oct. 9 to 12. Tickets are $25 and are available at www.centrepointetheatre.com.
The second line runs next to Carling Ave, goes through Kanata Lakes, crosses the Goulbourn Forced Road (GFR), which is unprotected, and continues to Arnprior. There are 2 trains per week on this track – one going to Arnprior and the other returning. This usually happens on Thursday. The track is maintained to minimal standards so the speed through Kanata North is limited to 15 kph. The train actually stops before proceeding across Herzberg or the Goulbourn Forced Road. I had requested stop signs at the GFR but was told they could not be placed there since there is no cross street. I am asking again to have that done. Drivers using the GFR should stop or slow down sufficiently to ensure the way is clear before crossing.

This accident has raised questions about railway crossings in Kanata North which have no protective devices. These include the Goulbourn Forced Road crossing and the Klondike Road crossing. The line coming from Ottawa that runs through the Business Park and adjacent to homes in Briarbrook and Brookside is owned by CNR. That company has applied to abandon the line and remove the rails, with those in Renfrew County already removed. The Pontiac area of Quebec would like to retain the line as an important rail corridor for their forestry industries. Further removal is on hold until that is resolved. In the meantime there are some trains using that line and everyone should stop at the unmarked crossing to ensure that their safety.
Congratulations to the volunteer organizers of the Terry Fox Run in Kanata. I was pleased to be able to say a few words at the start of the run as my mother died of the same bone cancer that took Terry. It has been a great comfort to know that his incredible feat has raised so much for cancer research, saving and extending so many lives. The many participants this year are commended for adding to those funds. EXPO 55+ - This year’s Expo 55+ was a great success thanks to the more than 50 organizations that provided information and advice and to my staff, particularly Linda Leinan, who organized the event. LIBRARY COMEDY FUNDRAISER is on Oct 2nd, 5:30 – 7:30 outside City Hall. Tickets at $40 are available from my office.
CARP LANDFILL – I am working with Councillors El-Chantiry and Qadri to determine the next steps to be taken in dealing with the huge landfill recently approved by the province. I will report back once we have an action plan. CARP FAIR is this weekend – I’ll see you there.

News - Kassie Stephen just wants what most 19-year-olds want: to go to college, be able to go out with her friends, maybe join a soccer team. But Stephen’s life is far from normal. Because she lives with kidney failure, she takes a handful of pills four times a day, carefully measuring so she doesn’t go over the one litre of fluids she can consume every 24 hours. And she knows the bus route back and forth from the hospital with her eyes closed, as she goes three times a week for several hours of dialysis. “Being a teenager, it sucks because all my friends go out,” she said. “I kind of had to grow up fast. I can’t have much of a social life.” The bubbly Orléans teenager recently graduated from Cairine Wilson Secondary School – it took an extra year on account of all the time she missed while having dialysis. She has high hopes for the future. She’s proud of being accepted to all three of the colleges she applied to last year, deferring her acceptance in the hopes she’ll get a kidney. Stephen wants the full college experience and is willing to wait until her Friday nights aren’t spent hooked up to the dialysis machines. She also worried she would pay expensive post-secondary tuition, only to have to leave mid-semester if a donor kidney comes available. And she gets excited when she talks about playing soccer again, and maybe learning to play hockey too. Kidney disease has been part of Stephen’s life as long as she can remember. She was diagnosed with kidney disease when she was young. “They told my parents they

Kassie Stephen, 19, sits at her dining room table alongside the many pills she must take every day while she awaits a kidney transplant. didn’t think I’d live to be 10 years old,” she said. She began home dialysis as a youth, working her way up from eight hours a day to being on the machines 16 hours a day. It left her time only to go to school, and nothing else. “I got told dialysis isn’t working - you need a transplant soon,” Stephen said. “Within a month I got a call (that there was a match).” The then 14-year-old had a kidney transplant, and was able to go back to living a normal life. On a family trip to P.E.I nine months later, she fell ill. It was her body rejecting the transplant kidney. She started in-hospital dialy-
sis three times a week at CHEO until she turned 18, when she transferred to the Riverside Hospital. Now she keeps a pager close at hand, in case a kidney is found. It’s gone off two or three times, but none of them worked out. “It sucks because you get really excited - your heart stops,” she said. “But if it didn’t help me, it’s going to help someone else, so it’s ok.” LOOKING UP
Right now, Stephen holds onto the hope that her mother will be able to donate a kidney. She was previously a match, but didn’t meet the weight criteria to

be a donor. Her mom has been working to lose weight, and recently had gastric bypass surgery to help her along. She has already lost 80 pounds. Within the next year, Stephen expects the process to be able to start to try and get a donor kidney from her mother. If she is cleared to be a kidney donor, the first step will be to make sure she’s still a match. Because Stephen had a kidney transplant already, what was a match before her 2008 transplant may not be a match now. But if it’s not a match, they may be able to take part in a cross-matching program – where her mother could donate a kidney to another patient with a willing donor, and that donor would donate to Stephen. After that all happens, she said her life could go “back to normal.”
R0012328142
Stephen is this year’s Kidney Walk ambassador for the Kidney Foundation of Canada and is speaking about her story ahead of the event to raise awareness. She’ll have her own delegation too, with a large crew of her family and mom’s co-workers attending the Sept. 29 Ottawa event. They participated in the walk last year, and she plans to work on some of her own fundraisers for the Kidney Foundation in the future. The 2013 Kidney Walk will take place on Sept. 29 at the Old City Hall on 111 Sussex Dr. Registration starts at 10 a.m. and the walk will start at 11 a.m.

Skater safety is a top priority at the City of Ottawa and safety starts with a properly fitted helmet. Children aged 10 and under, as well as skaters of all ages at a beginner skill level, are required to wear a Canadian Standards Association (CSA) approved helmet while attending City of Ottawa indoor public skate sessions. Some tips for choosing a helmet:
Purchase • Sale • Re-Finance
Locations in: Kanata Hunt Club Downtown Orleans and coming 2 soon to Barrhaven
• Buy a helmet that fits now, not one to grow into. • Never buy a used helmet.
RE
• Make sure your helmet has been tested for safety (Helmet will have a CSA sticker on the outside)

leadership roles. The project, which received funding in the spring, is spending the first year of the project looking at what is holding women back from leadership roles. The second year of the project will help different community groups and universities implement and run leadership activities. After the program ends, the goal is for the groups to continue to run the activities independently, said project co-ordinator Edwige Affaa. Affaa is based out of the Place de la Francophonie, but the program will be carried out across the country. In Ottawa, the project will work in partnership with La Cité Collegiale, the University of Ottawa, St. Paul University, Dominican University College and the Franco-Ontarian Cultural Union. “Projects like this are extremely important,” said Kellie Leitch, federal minister of labour and minister of status of women.

“Encourage your colleagues to participate actively on campus and beyond that. Maybe some of you in the future will be running for office.” The projects are aiming to increase the percentage of women in leadership roles in organizations, businesses and government, and take away some of the barriers women face. Orléans MP Royal Galipeau was at Place de la Francophonie on Sept. 16 alongside the minister for the announcement, as were representatives from the different Ottawa organizations and schools that will run activities created during the project. There has been $5.9 million in funding given out under the Status of Women Canada’s call for proposals for the promotion of leadership for girls and young women. “It sets the stage for a great leadership role,” Leitch said. “It will also help your local communities, the economy and the country.”

As a pioneering home builder that helped to define the best and most livable neighbourhoods in Barrhaven, Campanale Homes is proud to mark the grand opening this month of their Longfields Station community. It represents a completion of a circle of excellence in creating affordable new homes for every type of buyer. Campanale Homes has been creating lasting investments in Ottawa and it’s surrounds for over three decades. Founders and brothers - Rocco, Tony and Vince started with a vision and desire to bring exceptional value and traditional craftsmanship to homes of varying sizes and styles. Longfields moves this standard even higher. Like their experienced craftspersons that turn plans into the reality, Campanale planners took the same care and skill to develop their community in the absolutely perfect Barrhaven location. Longfields is either a
cross-street walk or a short stroll to the most complete grouping of amenities. From Utman and South Nepean Parks to Mother Theresa Secondary School and P.E. Trudeau Public School, nothing is missing. Large retail centres and small independent shops abound within a few minutes by car or public transit, including the new Longfields Station, a new major key to efficient transit to the city core and beyond. The first phase of Longfields will be executive townhomes with sales models now open and a number of properties already owner occupied. Campanale Homes has worked tirelessly with suppliers and partners to be able to provide their customers with feature-laden homes. The threebedroom, 2.5 bathroom layouts will have long lasting and attractive ceramic and hardwood flooring throughout. They will offer EnergyStar rated appliances and central air with high-efficiency
natural gas furnaces and fireplaces. Starting at an ultra-competitive mid $310’s these spacious retreats and family centres, provide ample room for those on the grow with floor-plans ranging from 1,500 to over 2,000 square feet. For families with the need for extra space, Campanale is currently offering a fully-finished lower-level rec-room upgrade for less than $10,000! An in-house professional decorating team gives Campanale buyers the perfect balance of flow and function with ease of care. Kitchens that create family traditions of togetherness and quiet retreats and sun-drenched breakfast areas are the result of years of experience in satisfying particular home-owners. And like with all Campanale homes, the planning and advice services of their award-winning design centre is included to let individuals put their own personal touch on their living space.
Wireless home control experts ThreeCodes have turned these great towns into ihomes, providing new home owners with the ability to safely change climate controls, audio systems, personal security features, and lighting/ shade settings from anywhere via a smart-phone or computer connection. Future phases will see completion in a very timely manner thanks to the seemingly unlimited resources that an established builder like Campanale has access to. Two-level terrace homes, condominium flats, and condominium apartments with ground-level neighbourhood retail will complete Longfields in a master-plan that creates a secure quiet community that meets the needs of a wide variety of families of any size or age. Landscape architects will surround and connect the living structures with all manner of nature’s best, and first-time buyers will love the fact they can stay close to choice schools and enjoy short commutes without paying the premiums of inner-city properties. Those with a penchant for prepurchase research find it easy to discover how well a Campanale home does after time by simply

News - Sandy Hill residents are worried a former church at 87 Mann Ave. could become home to the neighbourhood’s largest party patio. Changes to a planned addition to the former church mean that required “amenity space” will largely be provided on the flat roof of the addition. At just under 150 square metres, the rooftop patio could hold up to 160 people, said architect Robert Martin. But that’s based on a capacity calculation only – with the landscaping and addition of features to break up the space, the patio would hold fewer people and they would be separated into different sections of the space. Still, the planning committee of Action Sandy Hill expressed reservations. “It is probably the only outdoor gathering space of its size in Sandy Hill,” said John Verbaas during a Sept. 18 meeting. A presentation about alterations to the 60-unit apartment dwelling was followed by a discussion about the merits of advising Black Iris Developments, which is proposing the building, to apply for a reduction in the required amenity space so it would not have to provide the rooftop patio. The patio is a new feature of the development, which originally included an addition that mimicked the style of the church in place of the existing church manse. But Martin said city planners suggested he consider a more contemporary design to complement the old church, which will be retained. That led to a shift in the design to make it more modern, with a flat roof that could accommodate the patio. Responding to concerns about noise, Martin said Black Iris intends to allocate one of the suites to a livein superintendant so there is full-time management on site to address any issues. Other changes that were presented included the plan to partially furnish the small studio units, which would range in size from 23 square metres to 27 square metres. That would minimize “move-in day chaos.” Action Sandy Hill planning committee members pointed out that unless the residents are all students, their movein dates would vary. Martin said the building could attract students or young professionals. The developer has filed a rezoning application to the city to change the institutional zoning on part of the site to match the high-density residential zoning on the remainder of the site.
The heights are within limits already allowed on the site – about 12 metres high. Six parking spaces would be provided. Black Iris would need an exemption from the city to reduce that number from the 40 spaces that would be required for a building of that size. Garbage and recycling would be Laura Mueller/Metroland stored in a refrigerated room inside Architect Robert Martin shows new plans for an expansion of the former St. Clement’s church on Mann the building, Martin said.

OSU 2000 GirlsForce Academy are the New Ontario Provincial Champions In a first for Ottawa soccer, The Ottawa South United 2000 Girls Force Academy Black completed a fantastic soccer season winning their league, the ERSL Cup and the Province. The team dominated league play, compiling a record of 14-0, with a league high goal differential of 83. A similar story took place in ERSL Cup competition, scoring 24 goals and giving up none in four matches. The road to the Ontario Cup championship, however, proved a tougher task. The team won the tournament round in convincing fashion with 4 wins. In the quarter-finals, the team faced a highlyregarded Whitby squad and managed to come away with a wellearned 3-1 victory. A resilient Eastside Kickers team held the girls to a narrow 1-0 win in the semi-final match. This win set the Ontario Cup Final match between OSU and the Stoney Creek Battalion at the Oshawa Civic Stadium on Saturday. The team had faced the talented Stoney Creek Battalion squad at a tournament earlier in the season and were defeated 3-0. However, the team had gained a lot of experience during the season and had customized their training sessions in preparation for the final. Sporting identical 14-0 records in their individual leagues going into the match, the Championship game ended regulation time in a 1-1 draw, requiring the winner to be decided by penalty kicks. In the end, the Force girls prevailed, winning 3-1 in kicks from the mark. The team became the first Ottawa team to win a girl’s provincial soccer championship in decades. Congratulations to the girls, Alison, Becky, Emily, Jordyn, Kaleigh, Kathleen, Kory, Logan, Marita, Mei Mei, Melissa, Mollie, Nina, Odessa, Shivani, Sydney, Vanessa and our call-up’s Ariel, Carmen and Olivia for an amazing season. Thanks also to our coaches Widdgin, Bernard, Hilary, Pierce and Paul, our trainers Kathy and Wendy, and our managers Jane and Joanne for an unprecedented season for an Ottawa team. OSU President Bill Michalopulos added that this “significant success by the Force 2000’s as well as our Force 97’s boys’ victory over the Toronto FC Academy to win the OYSL league, represents a tangible and measurable step forward for youth soccer in Ottawa. Occurring on OSU’s 10th Year Anniversary as a new club, it’s a testament to the targeted and relentless efforts of OSU to provide the very best for youth soccer development in Canada.”

Barrhaven teen proud to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;kick like a girlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; at worlds Jennifer McIntosh
jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
News - Kayla Maduk says support from her community in Barrhaven is helping send her to Spain to compete in the International Taekwondo Federation world championships. During the 2011 worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s competition in New Zealand, Maduk took home gold for patterns and silver in sparring. She was just 15. Maduk said sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s returning to the international championship as a third-degree black belt and sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hungry for some new gold medals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last time I got silver in individual sparring so I would like to come home with two gold medals this time,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because I am competing in a different category, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not like Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not defending my title. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m looking to steal someone elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.â&#x20AC;? Maduk has been doing taekwondo since she was three-and-half years old. She speaks at a number of events in the community to promote the sport. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Recognition of the sport is growing a bit, but a lot of girls donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see it as an option,â&#x20AC;? Maduk said. She also runs a blog entitled I Kick Like a Girl. When sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s out and about performing she wears a pink hoodie with the title of her blog on it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have gotten a lot of positive comments about that,â&#x20AC;? Maduk said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like being out there and being part of my community.â&#x20AC;? And the community helps her out in return. To get to Spain, Maduk has to raise $8,000 for travel expenses. She said while she has a part-time job, she needs help to get overseas. Between school and the speaking engagements and fundraising, the teenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plate is full. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have been training so much this summer, but people have just been great,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am overwhelmed with all the support.â&#x20AC;? A Sept. 7 barbecue at Rossâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Your Independent Grocer netted $800. At a silent auction and lunch held at the Barrhaven Legion, Maduk was given a cheque for $200 from the West Barrhaven Community Association. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really awesome so many people were able to come together,â&#x20AC;?

HolaEcuador: A Canadian beachfront development in Ecuador
Enjoy a year-round tropical paradise in a secure, comfortable environment
Gordon Poole, Co-Owner of HolaEcuador, one of the Canadians taking part in the project.
Tired of scraping your windows and shovelling snow? Escape to the warmth and charm of Ecuador! Home to the world-famous Galápagos Islands, millions of hectares of untouched rainforests, massive Andes mountains and hundreds of kilometres of pristine beaches, Ecuador is finding its place on the world stage as a top-tier destination. But it’s not just the weather that’s hot in Ecuador — the real estate market is cooking too, and a Canadian company is making it easy to own a beachfront paradise of which dreams are made. HolaEcuador Property Development Inc. develops and sells beach properties on the Pacific coast of Ecuador. Mirador San Jose — the largest of HolaEcuador’s projects — has over 1600 lots to choose from. Managed by Canadian owners and investors, Mirador San Jose is the perfect winter escape, retirement project, investment and/or rental property opportunity.
Why Ecuador?
Unparalleled mix of nature and culture Where else can you visit a volcano on horseback in the morning, meet tribal elders at an Amazonian jungle resort in the afternoon and finish the day with a seafood dinner in an
oceanfront restaurant? One of the most biodiverse places on the planet, Ecuador is the ideal location for outdoor activities such as all types of water sports, biking, fishing, hiking and nature-gazing. Need a fix of culture and culinary wonders? The capital city Quito, perched among volcanoes in the Andes mountains at 9,350 feet boasts the UNESCO World Heritage colonial district, with architecture, restaurants and nightlife that rival the best of European cities. Fantastic climate The climate in Ecuador is ideal all year long, without the extreme wet seasons that are common to the tropics. Being located on the equator, the country never experiences the devastating hurricanes and major tropical storms that are commonplace in regions such as Mexico and Florida. The average temperature varies between 23C and 28C and the water temperature in front of Mirador San Jose is 23C or more, throughout the year. Excellent investment In addition to all the great lifestyle advantages of being in Ecuador, it is also an incredible investment opportunity not to be overlooked. “We have many property owners that missed the Costa Rica boom and are very pleased to find that it’s still possible to acquire a property
Full ownership homes? yes! Lots from $15,000 Beach Properties
Canadian project in ecuador
Ottawa Saturday, September 28th at 1pm Travelodge Hotel Ottawa 1376 Carling Avenue, Ottawa Gatineau (in French) Tuesday, October 1st at 7 pm Hôtel Cartier 1170 ch. Aylmer, Gatineau 64 Kanata Kourier-Standard EMC - Thursday, September 26, 2013
Owning property at the Mirador San Jose is ideal for those looking to diversify their investment portfolio. The value of the lots at the development has increased on average by 45 per cent over the last two years. And there are no taxes on capital gains on the occasional sale of properties in Ecuador, even for second and third residences, which makes investing in Ecuadorian real estate and interesting alternative to the stock markets. Further, property owners can take advantage of the property value increase while generating rental income.
Welcome to Mirador San Jose Mirador San Jose is located 60 kilometres south of Eloy Alfaro International Airport in the port city of Manta and just minutes north of Machalilla National Park, a spectacular jungle and marine park. Accessible by the Routa del Sol, a brand new highway built specifically to cater to the region’s growing tourist population, Mirador San Jose consists of over 1600 lots on a 130-acre, master planned, gated beachfront property. The development features all basic services (water, sewage, electricity) running underground, as well as domestic waste and sewage recycling, high speed Internet, plenty of parks, playgrounds and recreational areas with tennis courts, soccer field and swimming pools. Further, there are three sectors within the development zoned for restaurants, bars, shops, boutiques, cafés, grocery stores and a medical centre. “You’re not buying a cottage lot; these are full ownership properties in a resort town,” says Mr. Poole. “Fully serviced lots a short 10-minute walk from the beach are available for under $15,000. It’s very difficult to find this value and quality elsewhere in the world, which is why our properties are sell-ing quickly. Of the 700+ home sites sold to
date, more than 450 have been purchased by Canadians, and the remainder mainly by Ecuadorians. Since September 2012 alone, 60 home sites have been snapped up by OttawaGatineau residents.” Once clients have secured their lot, HolaEcuador will help them build the beach home of their dreams. “We offer many home models for all tastes and budgets,” says Mr. Poole. “We also offer custom house and condominium design services. Our architects and engineers work with clients to make their dream house a reality, at prices that are a fraction of what they would pay in North America. Luxurious homes can be built in Ecuador for US$75 to $95 per square foot. We have nice little two-bedroom bungalows that are available for only $55,000 and larger, two-story luxurious homes with private pool available for $161,900 — land and taxes included!”
HolaEcuador Property Development Inc.
HolaEcuador Property Development Inc. is owned and operated by Canadians with offices in Trois-Rivières and Gatineau, QC and Manta, Ecuador, with regional sales representatives across Eastern Canada. Coowner Gordon Poole lives in the Ottawa area and makes frequent visits to the Mirador San Jose project, where a team of Canadian and Ecuadorian professionals are permanently located. “Nearly half of our clientele comes from referrals from existing customers, which demonstrates how excited property owners are to be part of this community,” says Mr. Poole. “Our property owners vary from adventurers in their 20s to pre-retirees in their 40s and 50s who are buying property now, while it’s still affordable. Some intend to use their property for vacationing only, while others are planning to use it as a rental income investment. Certain clients see property ownership in Ecuador as a means to stretch their vacation and investment dollars further, while others are simply looking to escape the cold winters. Here in Ecuador you can do both.” HolaEcuador will be holding a free informational seminar on the lifestyle and financial benefits of property ownership in Ecuador on September 28 and October 1 and 3. Contact HolaEcuador to reserve your spot! 819-744-1957 or info@holaecuador.ca.

in an oceanfront development such as ours,” says Gordon Poole, co-owner of HolaEcuador. “In fact, real estate prices in Ecuador match those of Costa Rica of 15 years ago.” Indeed, many people dream of owning a property in the tropics, but the capital costs can be significant. Property in Ecuador, however, is absolutely within the reach of many Canadians’ budget. Ecuadorians enjoy the lowest cost of living in all of South America, a high standard of living and a stable, democratic government.

Keeping heritage alive in Vanier Community association votes to support St. Charles Church designation Michelle Nash
michelle.nash@metroland.com
News - The Vanier Community Association has voted to support a heritage designation for the St. Charles Church. Area resident Mike Steinhauer submitted a heritage designation application to the city for the church, located on St. Charles Street, earlier this summer. He said he did this, for one among many reasons, because no one ever had. “I always thought it had heritage designation and I was surprised to see it doesn’t,” Steinhauer said. “This is a landmark and community gathering place for 100 years in this File community.” With the application in the city’s St. Charles Church has existed in the Vanier community for 100 years and residents in the area feel strongly the church needs to have hands, Steinhauer attended the association’s first board meeting of the heritage designation.
2013-14 year on Sept. 10 to seek the group’s support. Before voting, the association members were given a brief rundown of Steinhauer’s application, which included why sought the designation in the first place. “This church brings together both sides of Beechwood -- losing it would be quite significant,” Steinhauer said. The church has been closed for the past three years and some in the community have speculated it is being shopped around for sale by owners, the Catholic archdiocese of Ottawa. According to Steinhauer, this application has halted any potential sale for the time being, and could have possibly changed to value of the site. But he explained his intention has never been to designated the
limited time.

property and watch it remain empty and rot. “The community built this church over the past 100 years, I think it owns the right to help decide its future,” he said. Steinhauer said his ambition is for it to become what it once was – a hub for the community – on both sides of Beechwood. And although the church is referred to in the Beechwood Community Design Plan as a “significant site” and ‘”the most important landmark building along Beechwood Avenue,” no one had ever sought a heritage designation. With no designation, the property can not be saved from a developer from tearing it down, if they chose to do so. The association’s board of directors asked a number of questions, but a majority was in favour of working to save the property and voted to write to city staff indicating support for the designation. The designation process requires the subject property to pass one of three criteria values, which according to Steinhauer, the church does. “It’s not unique, there are many churches like this, but most are rural churches, which this was, on the outside of the city before Vanier became a part of the city. Now it is engulfed in a city -- a rare find today,” Steinhauer said. Francophone community members have been very vocal that the parish is also a significant institution to them and attended a community-led design workshop in June to speak about the church, design, use and building potential. The Archdiocese did not attend those meetings. Representatives from the archdiocese were also not available to comment on the designation application by this paper’s print deadline. After receiving support from the board for the church, Steinhauer pointed out the association should look into creating a heritage committee. “There are a lot of old buildings here -- we need to look at which ones we want to save, which ones have value,” he said. The board agreed, but felt it was a significant issue and decided to speak with members to gather input. The board deferred Steinhauer’s request about the heritage committee to another meeting, adding if the Vanier community has the desire to start up a heritage committee, the board would support it. “Let’s let people know we are supporting this and that it has been a recommendation,” said association president Mike Bulthuis. The Vanier Community Association will hold its next meeting on Oct. 8. A report on the proposed designation is expected to be considered by the city’s built heritage subcommittee on Oct. 10. Approvals from both the planning committee and city council would also be required.
