News - A public workshop on the urban expansion on March Road is set for Oct. 24 at St. Isidore Roman Catholic Church.

The meeting is a chance for residents to discuss what they’d like to see as part of the planned area, said Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson.

“Where do you want to have the housing? Where do you want to have the retail?” she asked during her first town

hall meeting since the summer break on Sept. 23. “It’s higher density than other areas here on average.”

The new residential community is anticipated to have about 3,000 residential units filled with 8,000 people, similar in size to Fairwinds in west Kanata.

Stations will be set up at tables during the workshop where people can write down their ideas, comments and concerns that the project managers can take and consider, said Wilkinson.

“This will be a sit down, working meeting,” she said.

Four major developers own the land that will become a slice of suburbia: Valecraft Homes, Metcalfe Realty Company Ltd., Junic/Multivesco and Brigil Construction.

The earliest construction could potentially start is sometime in 2016.

For more information, visit Wilkinson’s website at mariannewilkinson.com.

Other developments in the councillor’s ward were discussed at the town hall.

Pavement proclamations: students write messages of hope St. Gabriel’s second-annual Chalk Day raises awareness about childhood cancer jessica.cunha@metroland.com

News - Students wrote messages of hope, encouragement and love on the pavement in the yard at St. Gabriel Catholic Elementary School on Wednesday, Sept. 25.

The school hosted its second-annual Chalk Day, where students are encouraged to draw inspiring pictures and words for children undergoing cancer treatments.

Among them was seven-year-old Isaac Ciarlo. He was last year’s guest of honour and the reason the school began participating in the event, an initiative created by the Pediatric Oncology Group of Ontario (POGO) to raise awareness about childhood cancer.

“What a difference a year makes,” said Isaac’s mother Tricia, as she watched her son race around the yard with his friends.

A year ago, Isaac was just starting his last round of chemotherapy after being diagnosed in March 2012 with a Wilms’ tumour, a cancer of the kidneys found most commonly in children.

It’s been 10 months since the Grade 3 student finished his treatments. In February, Isaac was granted a trip to Disney World and a cruise to the Bahamas by the Children’s Wish Foundation.

“He’s completely cancer free,” said Tricia. “He’s back to school fulltime.

“He’s happy, he’s healthy. He’s a regular little kid again.”

Isaac said he’s feeling “good” and enjoying being back at school with his friends.

Terry fox run

The school also participated in the Terry Fox Run on Sept. 25. The kindergarten students ran a track around the school while grades 1 to 6 students did a loop of the Beaver Pond.

“We were walking, doing the Terry Fox Run; I was really emotional. I didn’t expect that,” said Tricia. “Last year, everyone walked for Isaac.”

Tricia said the support from the school has been fantastic, and more than she could have asked for.

“It means a lot that they did (Chalk Day) again,” she said. “The kids get it. Some of these messages are really awesome.”

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. Tricia said she hopes to see more schools incorporate Chalk Day with their Terry Fox Run. “Maybe it will be something that all the schools do,” she said, adding only three per cent of national funding goes to childhood cancers.

“It’s super important, people have to know that,” she said.

Lepine gets approval for 12 storey building Continued from page 1

A McDonald’s restaurant planned for 886 March Rd. was met with some opposition by residents at a meeting the previous week, said Wilkinson, but the owner is willing to work with the community to ensure the restaurant isn’t intrusive.

Two main issues raised were the neon golden arches sign and the fact that it will be a 24-hour operation, said the councillor.

But the owner, who also runs four other McDonald’s in Kanata and Stittsville, said he would put in screening and plant 150 trees on the property to help minimize light and noise spills.

As well, the sign is “lower than the building so you won’t see it from behind,” added Wilkinson.

He also agreed to close the back parking lot at night, which should help control noise levels, she said, adding a 24-hour restaurant is a franchise requirement.

“It’s an example of working together,” Wilkinson said. “The owner is willing to work with the public.”

Construction will likely start after the holiday season, she

StOP URgENt WAStiNg YOUR NOtiCE mONEY! iF:

added.

The owner of the Varley Apartments, located on Varley Drive in Beaverbrook, is looking to put an addition onto the current lot for a senior’s residence.

“There’s a lot of open space there,” she said.

The expansion would be attached to the current building, said Wilkinson. The future development site is about two hectares.

They’ve sort of been ignoring what’s happening outside the Greenbelt. It’s going to be important for the future of this area.

MARIANNE WILKINSON KANATA NORTH COUNCILLOR

Nothing has been submitted to the city.

A Lepine building in the Kanata Town Centre lands was approved to move to 12 stories, instead of the standard 10, by the committee of adjustment, said Wilkinson.

It was approved because the land slopes downwards and the height would be similar to Lepine’s other buildings.

There will be about 740 apartments, as well as retail and a recreation complex within the development, which is located on Canadian Shield Avenue.

A suburban subdivision design study open house will be held on Oct. 17 but no time or place has been set for the meeting.

The workshop will focus on making areas outside the Greenbelt more walkable and pedestrian friendly, said Wilkinson.

“They’ve sort of been ignoring what’s happening outside the Greenbelt,” she said about the city.

“It’s going to be important for the future of this area.”

A number of consultants from other cities are helping with the study, she said, which will last nine months.

Wilkinson added that other meetings will be held over the course of the study, with an aim to finish by next fall.

“It could have a big impact on how the rest of the Town Centre is (developed), for example,” she said.

Other items from the town hall meeting: • A public meeting on the city’s Town Centre lands will be held at some point during the fall. A “main drag” can’t be constructed as planned so another company wants to buy the land to build a three-storey building. No date or time has been set.

• There will also be a public meeting on the possibility of making Kanata Avenue a “complete street” with parking, cycling lanes and sidewalks. The meeting will be held sometime in October but no date or time has been chosen.

• Didsbury Road, behind the Canadian Tire, is set to get servicing by the city.

• Construction on the Tanger outlet mall is moving ahead and the shopping centre is expected to open in 2014.

• The city is looking at buying the land the Beachburg Subdivision Railway is on if the rails are removed. The line backs onto Briarbrook.

The next Kanata North Town Hall meeting will be Oct. 21, from 7 to 9 p.m. in the program room at the Kanata Seniors Centre, 2500 Campeau Dr.

Trustee outlines preliminary plans for new public school jessica.cunha@metroland.com

News - A new Ottawa public school in north Kanata will look at housing kindergarten to Grade 6 students.

The school is slated to open by 2015 in the Kanata North Business Park, next to the new recreation complex, said Christine Boothby, public trustee for Kanata, at a Kanata North Town Hall meeting on Sept. 23.

“We’ll be able to share some facilities there,” she said.

Previously, the school board looked at taking grades 7 and 8 students, but with Earl of March Secondary School opening a new wing for those grades in 2015, the new elementary school will likely focus on the younger grades, she said.

“We don’t know where 7 and 8s will go yet or what kind of programs will be offered,” said Boothby. “We will be having some public consultations.”

She said a public meeting will likely be held sometime in the fall, either October or November, to discuss programming, grade structure and the catchment area of the new school. No boundaries have been set

for the new school.

However, the large property will allow the school to grow and there is room for up to 18 portables on site.

“In this location there is significant room for expansion,” said Boothby.

The school will also incorporate areas of the natural environment that can be included in the curriculum.

Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson said a wooded area around a creek will be kept on the property, surrounded by a gated fence.

“Teachers can take classes to the creek for studies,” she said.

Olga Grigoriev, superintendent for the public board, added it would be up to the individual teachers to integrate the outdoors.

“You can incorporate the environment into a lot of what you do in the classroom,” she said. “It could enhance the science programming, or even the literacy programming, by accessing the out of doors.”

One resident asked if it was possible to look at turning the school into an alternative learning environment.

There are no such environments in the west end.

Boothby said it was an option that could be raised at an upcoming public meeting.

Trinity students raise $35,000 for Terry Fox Run Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

News - Students at Holy Trinity Catholic High School continue to dominate in donations for the Terry Fox Foundation’s National School Run Day. “Our goal was $30,000 and we didn’t raise that,” vice-principal Ed Baker said to a crowd of students.

“You raised more than $35,000.”

The Kanata high school has raised close to $400,000 in 11 years of participating in the Terry Fox Run. “You’re one of the top 10 fundraisers in Ontario,” Kanata South Coun.

C

Allan Hubley told the crowd of students. “Give yourselves a hand.”

Students gathered on the school’s track before kicking off the run on Thursday, Sept. 26. Many were decked out in costumes, some had their faces painted, while others had messages written on their shirts.

“I think the Terry Fox Run is all about participating,” Baker said.

“Thank you so much for your participation.”

Hundreds of students took to the streets to walk or run down Terry Fox Drive, up Castlefrank Road and back to the school. A barbecue lunch and live entertainment capped off the run.

The Kanata Food Cupboard is looking for businesses interested in displaying an angel tree at their place of work. The food cupboard will provide the angel ornaments, with genders and ages written on them as a

guideline for gifts, but organizations must supply their own tree.

Once the tree is set up, people are encouraged to take an angel and purchase a gift based on the gender and/or age on the ornament. The food cupboard helps families by providing a complete holiday meal, with gifts for every family member. “They help us help the families we can’t get adopted,� said

United Way needs clear goals

T

he United Way Ottawa announced a $21million community campaign goal on Sept.

24, a significant drop from last year’s target of $30 million.

Simple subtraction tells us the organization is looking to raise $9 million less than the 2012-13 fundraising year.

The decrease seems to follow a disturbing trend over the past two years. In 2011, the organization announced a $33 million goal, but fell short by $1 million; the following year the target was set at $30 million.

On the face of it, the numbers seem to indicate the charity will have fewer dollars to support local charities. But numbers can be deceiving, according to the charity’s executive director Michael Allen during last week’s breakfast launch at the Ernest and Young Centre.

Allen explains the $9 million drop in this year’s campaign target as not less, just different.

We scratched our collective heads over that reasoning. Unfortunately, the campaign offers a confusing chain of logic to explain how much money it needs to raise and how it uses the money, turning the process into a benign form of a classic shell game.

Yes, the charity is looking to raise fewer dollars

– but this year’s target only includes donations to local United Way programs.

Donors will still be able to donate money to other charities, said Allen, but that money is considered separate – beyond the $21 million campaign goal.

Three years ago, the United Way Ottawa changed the way it allocated funds collected during the campaign, creating priorities and criteria to appeal to donors. In fact, the organization is actually looking to increase the amount of money it allocates to its community partners based on last year’s total of roughly $16 million. But the problem is the United Way is doing a poor job of communicating how it defines its needs and the way it uses campaign dollars.

Confusing potential donors could ultimately translate into fewer donations.

The United Way Ottawa spends too much time telling us how much the charity wants to help people, as opposed to defining those needs and presenting a simple-to-understand battle plan.

When a charity announces a drop in its fundraising target, it only makes sense to offer a straightforward explanation for the decrease.

With so many charities out there competing for limited donations, it only makes sense to put together a good sales pitch.

City life could use a little more country flair

I

n the fall fair season we get a chance to see things from a different perspective.

That can be simple as noticing the houses in a small town as you cruise the small-town streets looking for a place to park, or it can be as profound as witnessing significant instances of behaviour modification.

For example: standing in the mud in front of the merry-go-round at the Richmond Fair and waiting for grandchildren to revolve past me, I notice something odd about the 20 or so adults on the contraption.

None of them is checking a phone.

You have to admit that’s pretty remarkable. When was the last time you looked at 20 adults and none was checking a phone?

1997? Or maybe in church, although even that is by no means certain.

People will check their phones any time, any place. It’s not just that someone may be phoning them. It’s also that the phone has a weather update, a hockey score, a favourite song, a movie review, a Sudoku, a text – each of which could be more interesting than what’s going on right here, right now.

They are called smart phones, although the adjective does not automatically apply to their owners.

Knowing the power of the smart phone,

That investigation reveals that it is not just on the merry-go-round that people are not checking their phones. It is all over the fairgrounds. People walk by talking with each other, looking around, seemingly aware of their surroundings. It is quite refreshing.

The question is why. We are people, remember, who value our communications devices so much that we now must carry a bagful of wires, in case our phones need charging, or our iPads or BlackBerrys or iPods.

(As an aside, did you ever stop to think about how many more wires we all need to carry now that we are in the Wireless Age?) Why do people not check their phones at

the fair?

The answer has to be that they are afraid they will miss something if they do. There are all the rides, including that whirly one you’d have to pay me big money to go on.

There are the animals, or that puppet show over there. There are all the booths – the embroidery, the hats, the candy, the fresh donuts.

Fire trucks! Cotton candy! Politicians!

If you’re looking at your phone you will walk right by, not noticing.

This is an important way the country fair differs from ordinary life. The country fair has variety, things you don’t expect, things more interesting than what’s on your phone.

If you look down you might miss something.

For one thing, you might miss an expression on a child’s face.

The challenge now is to apply the products of this important new research. The goal is obvious: to make city life more like a country fair so that people won’t be checking their phones all the time.

But the means aren’t obvious. We can’t have heavy horses all over the downtown.

Ferris wheels won’t fit in most urban spaces.

And for all we know there are probably zoning bylaws against cotton candy in certain neighbourhoods.

Still, it would be nice if city life contained a few more pleasant surprises than it does now, even if it meant more mud on the streets.

If you look at the truly interesting city neighbourhoods in the world, you’ll notice that they contain stores that you didn’t expect, stores that specialize in odd things, like clothing for pets or books about sports or country music on vinyl. You’ll find dead-end streets and little squares with little parks, tiny churches.

You might not find banks or giant drugstores or chain coffee shops where people are busy looking at their phones.

Keeping the kids motivated Capital Muse motivated? How do we keep ourselves motivated when we, too, feel like skipping music lessons, even as we’re simultaneously shouting “Do you know how much I paid for those lessons? Thousands!

Thousands!”

The problem with motivation is it’s intrinsic. So if you’re in the position of motivator, you’ve got to figure out what really makes the kid tick.

This is really hard when it comes to music lessons at our house because I’m forcing the kids to do it. Sure, they asked at some point a few years ago to learn the piano. Sure, they sometimes think it’s cool. But when they’re frustrated, they hate it – and me – and that’s when the tantrums, tears and insults start flying. If you think they give a poop about losing screen time at that point, you’d be sadly mistaken.

Discipline – real discipline, the kind that works to keep

that motivation going – is time-consuming and requires consistency.

And it can’t be reactive. By the time the kid is having a temper, everyone’s overloaded.

You’ve got to have something in your store closet to defuse the situation. Whether you’re dealing with kids, colleagues or employees, here are a few ways to keep people motivated: • Take time to reflect on achievements. We live in such a fast-paced world, taking time to recognize what we’ve accomplished before moving onto the next thing is a rare occurrence. But it’s important to remind people how far they’ve come.

• Take time to consider the level of expertise they have developed over time – and why sticking to it is important.

My kids like it when I tell them that, as a result of hours of practice, a song has become easy for them – this is particularly powerful when they’re sight-reading a new piece at the beginning of the week and I start to hear catastrophic phrases like “I’ll NEVER get this!”

• Link success to other ar-

eas of their lives. I frequently share articles from the newspaper that explain how music education can help with reading and math – “Even though you may not realize it, doing music lessons makes school easier for you,” I tell them.

a few things each year.

• Be honest and transparent with them. I tell the kids that it’s not always easy for me to get to music on a Wednesday either – because I’m tired, or I’m on deadline. But I also appreciate the opportunity to turn off my phone and spend a whole, uninterrupted hour with each of them – not to mention the fact they’re challenging me to learn to play the piano too.

he hardest thing as a parent is to keep kids motivated.

Like the rest of us, the kids gear up in September for school and sports and all kinds of extra-curricular programs. By the time October comes around I start hearing a lot of “It’s Wednesday already? I don’t want to go to music lessons.”

Believe me, kid, I feel the same way.

We tend to use a lot of reward and punishment at our house – in the form of receiving and losing privileges, mostly. But while this is the most convenient form of discipline for parents, it’s not the most sophisticated.

The biggest problem with reward and punishment – to which I’m sure many teachers and managers can attest – is that it tends to lose effectiveness over time. While the kid may have valued screen time or extra pocket money when you first started using them, the second he decides he doesn’t care about those things anymore, the whole system comes crashing down.

So what’s a mom to do?

How do we keep the kids

• Provide them with short and long-term goals. It’s one thing to slog away on the piano all week, but where is it going to get them besides to the next lesson? My kids know at the end of four years, they will graduate from the program and get a medal. We also try to provide opportunities for them to perform – at school concerts, for friends and family – so they can work toward

Kids Have Stress Too We think of children as carefree and happy.

Sometimes as parents, we forget that our children can suffer from stress too. They may be going to a new school or daycare, getting used to a new routine or they may be watching the news of the recent tragedy in the city and hearing stories about it at school. All of these can make children feel anxious or stressed. It is important to remember that children look to parents to make them feel safe.

How can you help your children deal with stress?

• Give them your full attention and listen so you can hear what they have to say.

• Empathize with them and help them label their feelings, for example “that must have made you sad”.

• Turn off the screens to talk instead.

• Talk to them in a calm, soothing voice.

What are some of the ways that children show stress?

• Physical signs of stress can include headaches, stomach-aches, changes in appetite, difficulty sleeping and nightmares.

• Emotional signs of stress can appear as anger, sadness, crankiness or whining.

• Some children withdraw from their usual activities or have poor concentration.

• Show interest in what is bothering them no matter how minor it may seem.

• Have young children draw a picture of their feelings.

• Spend quiet time together reading, making a craft, or doing a puzzle.

Children will often talk about a problem when given the chance.

• Have dinner together as a family.

• Give them a hug.

Starting a conversation about drugs Police workshop teaches parents what they need to know and how to talk to their kids jessica.cunha@metroland.com

News - Ottawa police have partnered with the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre to offer parents a workshop on kids and drugs.

The program, which will be held at the resource centre on Saturday, Oct. 5, gives tips on how parents can talk to their children about drug use, learn the street slang and what’s popular in Ottawa, and how to recognize potential problems.

“It’s for parents only; it’s how to talk to your kids and how to recognize current issues and trends and drug use,” said Const. Lori Fahey, with the Kanata and Stittsville Community Police Centre.

The Kids and Drugs program covers four main topics: the power of parents; talking with your kids; helping your kids make good decisions; and what parents need to know about drugs, said Fahey.

“We just give them an idea of what the current trends are here in Ottawa,” she explained. “We provide information on different drugs, what

CONST. LORI FAHEY they look like, what they’re called.”

The workshop is open to parents with children and teenagers of all ages, but the sooner the conversation starts, the better, Fahey said.

“We’re looking to catch parents when (their children are) around Grade 5, just to address the topic,” said Fahey, who will be part of the presentation. “Those are the formative years … We want to catch them before they’re starting to use drugs, before they have to make those decisions.”

Current drug trends in Ottawa include marijuana and Fentanyl, a strong prescription opioid used to treat chronic pain. There have been recent

cases of Fentanyl overdoses in rural areas of the city, said Fahey, adding that police have already hosted Kids and Drugs sessions in Manotick, as well as at two Kanata schools during school council meetings.

“The main concern is starting with marijuana. They say it’s not a gateway drug but if you’re willing to try marijuana, you’re willing to try other drugs,” said Fahey.

The session will arm parents with a “toolbox” they can use when having discussions with their children, she added.

“It’s just bringing these up to your kids and giving them options,” said Fahey. “Helping your kids make good decisions.”

The workshop will be held at the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre, located at 2 MacNeil Crt., Kanata, from 9:30 a.m. to noon.

Interested parents are asked to register beforehand by calling the centre at 613-5913686.

Dying for dignity

Beyond the bedside

Local end-of-life experts help launch the province’s first integrated palliative program – and build a case for better funding

and creating a standardized approach for how care is delivered will go a long way, Abedi said.

Part of the challenge is bringing the entire range of palliative-care providers into the fold and adopting a common mindset. Instead of reactive, symptom-focused care delivered by several different providers who don’t necessarily communicate with each other, the regional program looks to bring all providers on board with a more holistic approach.

Providing continuity of care throughout the course of a patient’s illness is the goal. But achieving it means unraveling a complex web of family physicians, emergency-room doctors, oncologists, homecare providers, day hospice programs and more.

Something as straightforward as creating an electronic record of treatments that’s shared amongst a patient’s entire health-care team is a nut that can take months to crack, Abedi said.

Step one was creating a clearing house for processing applications for palliative care. There are now two nurses working out of Bruyère Continuing Care who use their expertise in palliative care to assess a standard intake form and place patients on a waiting list for the type of care that best suits their needs.

That’s one major step towards a truly integrated system, said Lynn Kachuik, an Ottawa Hospital nurse who is an expert in palliative care and sits on the regional program’s council.

“By going to the (centralized) system we are able to simplify the access … So they’ve got the data they need to make a decision based on what the needs of the patient are,” she said.

“We’ve been much more efficient in using the beds effectively.”

METROLAND EAST SPECIAL REPORT

T

here’s an elephant in the room and it’s crowding Ottawa’s hospitals.

Too many people are dying in hospital because they haven’t had honest discussions about death, according to palliative care doctor José Pereira.

These conversations – a patient’s preferred place to die, the level of treatment and their concept of comfort – must start long before a person is weeks away from death, he said.

“If we only think about palliative care from the last days or weeks of life, many people are going to suffer unnecessarily for the time they have left,” he said.

For one Ottawa woman, who Pereira didn’t name for privacy reasons, this lack of planning led to confusion for both her and her family.

Just a few months before she died her doctors at Bruyère Continuing Care still didn’t consider the woman a palliative patient. As her health failed, she was receiving treatments she likely didn’t need any more.

“This was a lady who had been struggling with end-stage heart disease, very, very advanced heart disease for many years. And suddenly in the last few months (she was) admitted to a hospital, and put on all sorts of treatments,” Pereira said.

She started a regime of antibiotics, and was put on dialysis for kidney failure. She began to question the benefit of being hooked up to machines this late in her illness, Pereira said. “She was saying, ‘I know I’m dying ... my goal is to be as comfortable as possible.’”

A quick look at her chart was telling: scrawled in a colleague’s note, the words “the patient is not yet palliative.”

COHESIVE CARE

Pereira’s colleague wasn’t being oblivious; there are hundreds of health-care professionals across the city and province who share the same view that palliative care is only relevant in the last few weeks of life.

“Health professionals in general haven’t received much education in this area,” said Pereira, a doctor at Bruyère Continuing Care and the Ottawa Hospital.

“We get trained in our different specialties but we haven’t in the past done a good job of training new doc-

DYING FOR DIGNITY A three-part series about hospice palliative care in Ottawa Part 2: A new program in Ottawa aims to change how palliative care is delivered and funded across the region. tors, new nurses, new pharmacists in the principles of palliative and endof-life care.”

A new Ottawa program aims to change that.

Célestin Abedi heads the new Champlain Hospice Palliative Care Program, the first of its kind in Ontario that wants to get all health professionals on the same page when it comes to end of life care.

It’s an initiative that aspires to change the way palliative care is delivered – and how it’s funded.

14 Kanata Kourier-Standard EMC - Thursday, October 3, 2013

“The issue is not only beds,” Abedi said. “It’s how we can create a more seamless transition for clients from one service provider to another,” Ottawa has a “strategic advantage” in the palliative care field, Abedi said.

Some of the national leaders in the field call Ottawa home and the city also benefits from having the Bruyère community, the largest palliative care provider and research body in Canada.

Despite a wealth of expertise and resources, access to palliative and

hospice care delivery in Ottawa has been disjointed.

“There were a lot of initiatives that different local communities were working on but there wasn’t any kind of connection with what they were doing and what the hospital is doing,” Abedi said.

Part of the regional network’s goal is to help patients and caregivers create a palliative care plan that starts long before the patient is in the final days of their life. “(This) is a paradigm shift. The current system – it was somewhat very fragmented and key players were left out,” Abedi said. “What we’ve done (is) to bring everybody together to have a common vision of what should be the right palliative care for the population.

“And from there, we’ve made tremendous progress.”

It sounds simple, but identifying common, validated tools and training

MAKING THE BEDS

Centralizing the hospice and palliative care system on a larger scale is another goal for regional network.

By October, Ottawa will have 19 residential hospice beds run by one umbrella group called Hospice Care Ottawa.

The organization is a merger of the Friends of Hospice Ottawa and the Hospice at May Court, which were operating separately until a year ago. The two groups amalgamated to integrate funding and services for the city.

Merging Maycourt and the Friends of Hospice was not a painless process, Abedi said, but now the city has one entity that can look at the needs of the entire city.

“We cannot allow ourselves to have so many players who are not connected whatsoever,” Abedi said.

“We cannot sustain that.”

Aligning service providers means existing funding can be used better, said Pereira.

“Sometimes it’s not just about more funding, sometimes it’s about allocating the money we have more appropriately,” Pereira said. “I really think what this project (the hospice merger) shows is that when you bring all the stakeholders together you can reallocate the existing funding in a much better way.”

Pereira has witnessed the positive effects of this approach through his work at a residential hospice in Edmonton in 1995.

“The research shows that if we do it properly, people have less depression, less anxiety and may in fact even live longer,” he said.

Ottawa’s hospice still has a long way to go, said Lisa Sullivan, executive director of Hospice Care Ottawa.

“In terms of the size of Ottawa, we know it could benefit with a lot more beds,” Sullivan said.

A study from Bruyère Continuing Care in Ottawa suggested the city needs somewhere between 70 to 80 beds for a population of one million, but the regional program has set a goal of 40 beds.

We cannot allow ourselves to have so many players who are not connected whatsoever ...

We cannot sustain that.

Célestin Abedi Champlain Hospice Palliative Care Program

Currently, the city has nine hospice beds available at May Court and eight beds at the Embassy West Senior Living on Carling Avenue. Two more beds will be added by October.

By 2016, the organization plans to build a 10-bed residential hospice in Kanata, followed by 10 beds in the east end and then 10 more beds in the south end, Sullivan said.

But the focus on beds isn’t necessarily the most pressing issue, Sullivan said. There is an overwhelming need to boost bereavement and day hospice programs.

Dr. José Pereira is a palliative care expert at the Bruyère Continuing Care centre.

FUNDING FLIP

In Ottawa, the biggest player in residential hospice care needs $1.6 million a year just to keep the lights on.

“We need to raise $1.6 million just to operate. No extra bells and whistles,” said Sullivan. “That is our biggest need.”

Under the current provincial formula, most residential hospices receive around $246 per bed per day though the Champlain Local Health Integration Network. That covers roughly 40 per cent of their operating budgets.

“That money comes with a lot of strings,” Abedi said. It can be used only to cover for nursing staff and personal support workers.

Rick Firth, executive director of Hospice Palliative Care Ontario, would like to see that number grow to 80 per cent, but recognizes that funding residential hospice beds is a relatively new practice in Ontario.

“It’s easy to say they’re not funding 100 per cent, but you look at 2002 with zero dollars to hospice and then in 2006 there was about $24 million allocated,” Firth said. “And it continues to grow.”

Recognizing that a hospice bed costs $439 a day compared to $850 a day for an acute care bed in a hospital, many palliative care experts argue the province’s money would be more effectively spent on hospice

beds to free up hospital beds.

In Ottawa, Abedi’s ultimate goal is to convince the LHIN to reverse the funding balance and pay for 60 to 80 per cent of the cost of hospice care.

“We are working to collect enough data to advise the LHIN to change that funding formula,” Abedi said.

If the province’s goal is to have hospice to play a bigger role within the health care system, Abedi said “it is not correct” to ask hospices to fundraise for 60 per cent of their budgets.

On the advice of the hospice palliative regional program in Ottawa, the LHIN is now funding around 65 per cent of nursing costs for the amalgamated local hospice group.

Navigating that uncharted territory of making incremental decisions that will build towards a new funding model will fall to Ottawa because it is a leader in the palliative-care field.

“When you look at palliative care, we’ve got a lot that other areas don’t have,” said Kachuik, the Ottawa Hospital palliative-care nurse specialist.

“I think we’ve taken great strides in developing what I would call an integrated system.”

While Ottawa still has work to do, it is a leader compared to other parts of the province, particularly rural areas. The Thunder Bay region has no hospice beds at all, and the South East LHIN, stretching from Belleville to Smiths Falls and north to part of Lanark County, only opened its first three beds this summer.

Other regions of Ontario plan to follow Ottawa’s lead by starting their own regional programs for palliative and hospice care. But in the meantime, experts in Ottawa will set the example for a shift in how end-of-life care is delivered.

Part three offers a prescription to give Canada’s palliative care system a sustainable future.

Rural hospice: ‘there’s a need for sustainable funding’

taff at Hospice Renfrew know all too well the limitations of a rural location.

The hospice’s six beds run in the small town of Renfrew are the only ones in the county, and they’re almost always filled with patients living out their final days.

A registered nurse and a personal support worker are there 24 hours a day, and the hospice also maintains a small administration. About 50 volunteers cover the reception desk, run support programs, plan events, tend the garden and bake homemade snacks for residents.

But it’s not enough.

Six beds can’t meet demand for an entire county, and there’s a constant list of patients waiting to get a bed, said hospice director Diane Caughey.

Some of them die before the beds become available.

But adding more beds isn’t exactly feasible, either.

The Ontario government funds less than half of the hospice’s $1 million operating costs, and all of that money goes to nursing care, Caughey said.

“There’s a need for sustainable funding that will cover operations,” she said. “There are fundraising challenges in a small rural community.”

Fewer people means fewer dollars, and there’s always competition from other fundraising health care facilities in the region.

“The challenge is ... how does a community of 5,000 people raise the $1 million a year to support it?” asked Hospice Palliative Care Ontar-

io’s executive director Rick Firth.

Renfrew is not alone in this.

Rural hospice beds are few and far between. According to Firth, the vast majority of the province’s 231 beds are located in urban areas.

Until July, the South East Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) covering Belleville, Kingston, Smiths Falls and parts of Lanark County had no hospice beds at all, and the North-West LHIN in the Thunder Bay region still lacks any residential facilities.

Part of the problem is that provincial funding for hospices is designated solely for nursing staff – $90,000 per bed - and that base cost is the same no matter how many beds a hospice has.

“In the smaller facilities it’s more

of a challenge because the nursing model requires a registered nurse present 24/7,” Firth said. “So in a situation like Renfrew where there’s six beds (instead of the standard 10), you still have the need for an RN 24/7. You can’t split a nurse in two. So proportionately they get less funding per bed.”

A six-bed hospice like Renfrew should get $116,000 instead of $90,000, he said.

The other problem is geography.

To cut costs, several villages or townships will collaborate to cover a region. A day hospice program could be located in one town, Firth said, but residential hospice beds might be in another.

This creates an access problem for patients and family members who

must travel long distances to get to the facility they need.

The new hospice program inside the South East LHIN hopes to address some of those issues.

Instead of building the standard 10-bed model in a centralized, urban location, the beds will be spread around.

In July, Hospice Prince Edward opened three beds in Picton and the South East LHIN plans to monitor how they are used before opening the remaining seven beds in several other small groups across the region.

Firth said rural access is one of his organization’s biggest priorities moving forward, and it will participate in a ministry-led committee this fall to facilitate rural-focused solutions.

Arthur Rowshan;

Results-Based Relief from Anxiety and Phobias

By Brian Turner

For many suffering from anxiety or one or more phobias, just getting started on treatment can be a challenge. Getting timely referrals to credible and affordable specialists is very difficult for some.

Most will be deterred from stories passed on from friends or family members about one therapist or another and the long difficult-to-understand process that is often involved. One of the largest barriers to treatment is the social stigma that seems to follow those that require help from a mental health service provider. Arthur Rowshan was in the same situation when at the age of 17 he required psychological help and ended up being treated with medication before anyone took the time to discover and bring to light the root cause of his issues. It was a number of months into his treatment before an interested but informed bystander suggested anxiety was the cause and a lifestyle change, not meds, may be the answer to his problems. That pivotal point in his life led to a new direction, spurred on by the desire to provide the same type of help to others, namely results-based programs, instead of text-book and theoretical applications.

He studied psychology at the University of Waterloo and thoroughly reviewed the current schools of thought and practices of the day when it came to helping those afflicted with that most common disorder which can affect almost anyone regardless of their background or health: anxiety. His journey of understanding led him to author a number of successful books, the most popular English publication being, Stress: An Owner’s Manual. Its title provides the key to how Arthur tackles the challenges that everyday life can bring to many. He clears the clouds that surround personal issues and delivers practical, down-to-earth advice designed to bring results.

His years of work with people affected by anxiety or any number of debilitating phobias has reinforced his philosophy to review and then suggest activities and exercises in order to empower his clients in taking back their own lives without any hard-to-understand terminology or double-speak. He noted one woman who came to him after 15 years of traditional therapy who stated emphatically at the beginning that she had her “PhD” in her anxiety, earned from countless therapy sessions. This person had become an expert in her condition after hours of listening to well-educated specialists, but at the end of it all, she still had her disorder. In just a few sessions with Arthur she was able to leave all that session-education behind and move forward armed with tasks and mental exercises that actually worked, rather than those that only sounded great in theory.

OurFall Specials

Almost every person that came to Arthur for help was looking for alternative methods focused on success.

“Knowing all the details and effects of a condition doesn’t always lead to a solution” is how he summarizes some cycles of customary sessions and treatments. His alternative is to review individual histories and to provide an environment that fosters personal development above all else. He then assigns tasks, exercises and activities that can be easily worked into daily life but are aimed at bringing freedom from fears and anxieties. His follow-up on these individualized programs concentrates on making whatever adjustments are needed to bring results.

He has successfully helped those with relationship issues, job-related stresses, obsessive behaviours, smoking-cessation difficulties, sleep disorders, anxiety, and any number of phobias. Rather than spend years in therapy, these individuals have moved on to mastering their own lives and becoming the persons they always wanted to be. He has noted that for many the turning point comes at milestones in their lives when they begin to question their success or failure and contributions to their world at large. The information age seems to aggravate these issues by constantly bombarding everyone with idyllic images of the perfect person or ideal family.

In Arthur’s years of experience those who choose to follow an alternative path to healing aren’t strapped to historical convention but come with a more-open mind, eager to learn how to free themselves of barriers to their progress and development. He helps to develop lessons that stay with them for a lifetime giving them the tools to face future challenges with confidence.

His office, located in Kanata is open to new clients without physician referral. You can call Arthur at 613867-6020 or check out his website at www.rowshanmethod.com for more information.

Shoebox gifts are distributed in more than 100 countries on six continents, giving joy and hope to needy children around the world. Shoebox gifts are given to children suffering from war, poverty, famine, disease and disaster – regardless of race, religion or gender.

Operation Christmas Child works with volunteer local pastors, charities, and civic leaders who represent several denominations and organizations. These people identify the children of greatest need and co-ordinate the distributions.

Each gift-filled shoebox should contain a balanced variety of school supplies, toys, hygiene products and a personal note and photo.

Packing Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes is a fun, simple way for Canadians of all ages to give to needy children around the world, sharing with them the joy, love, and hope of the season.

A clean home puts less strain on your energy bill Community - Did you know that most household dirt goes undetected and over the years it can build up and make it more expensive to heat and cool your home?

By following these simple

tips, offered by the Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Institute of Canada (HRAI), you can clean up, save money, and breathe easy: • Filter your air: There are two types of filters that can

help you remove stray particles from your indoor atmosphere: mechanical devices that draw air through a filter and electronic devices that use different types of fields to purify the air.

• Get rid of dust: If you clean your vents and your ducts, there will be less dust in the air, less work for your HVAC system, and more money in your pocket.

• Get the latest and greatest:

If you’ve got an older house, the heating and cooling system may be less energy-efficient than current systems, costing you more money than necessary. Regular maintenance will keep these older machines op-

erating to their full potential, but sometimes, the best solution is to trade up to a more energy-efficient, Energy Star rated system. www.newscanada.com

Annual fruit drive a juicy fundraiser Earl of March Secondary School Music Program

Businesses raise money for local charities

R0012321954

Community - The Earl of March Secondary School music has been busy holding rehearsals in preparation for concerts and performances.

In order to raise funds for the department performance trip to Virginia Beach, Va. in April 2014, where they will showcase their talent, music students are once again embarking on the extremely popular annual citrus fruit drive fundraiser.

This event, which sells freshly picked Indian River oranges and grapefruits to Kanata residents, is always well supported by the community.

This fundraiser runs from Oct. 2 to 30. The fruit is shipped to Kanata directly from Florida, guaranteeing freshness of the produce.

Students will be selling door-to-door in Kanata neighborhoods, and surrounding areas.

If no student has been to your street over the next two weeks, and you wish to purchase the fruit, please contact Elizabeth Ellis via email at Robertson_elizab@hotmail.com or Gord Birkinshaw at gord.birkinshaw@ocdsb.ca or at 613-592-3361.

The process for both the oranges and grapefruits are as follows, and are the same for both: • Small (4.5 kg) - $14 • Medium (9 kg) - $24 • Large (18 kg) - $40 This year is sure to be filled with many exciting musical performances at Earl, as well as numerous fundraisers and one amazing band trip in the spring.

The music department hopes that it will be as much of a success as last year’s citrus fruit drive, and thanks the residents of Kanata for their ongoing and generous support.

The Royal gives a lesson on grief, overcoming trauma Experts dispense advice in wake of Transitway tragedy Steph Willems steph.willems@metroland.com

News - The Transitway crash that left six Ottawa residents dead and many more injured on Sept. 18 also created traumas among the survivors, as well as the family members and friends of the victims.

The shock of the accident and the loss of lives created wounds that will take time to heal. To shed light on what feelings are normal in the wake of a tragedy and what behaviours are cause for concern, the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre hosted a public presentation on Sept. 24.

Psychologists, trauma experts and counsellors were on hand to explain the many ways the human mind responds to this type of event, how trauma can morph into a long-term psychological affliction, and strategies aimed at preventing this. The Royal’s Occupational Stress Injury Clinic serves members of the Canadian Armed Forces and RCMP, and has information and resources that can make a difference for civilians coping with trauma.

“For all of us in our city, this has been something that’s very upsetting, and for some of you we know this is particularly raw,” said Dr. Michele Boivin, a psychologist at the Royal.

What really makes something traumatic is how much it threatens us, or how much it violates us

that remind us of things that remind us of what happened, or avoid situations where we might feel unsafe …

There’s a whole range of normal reactions that people can have. There’s no one right way or expected way to respond to (this).”

Trauma is more common than many think – studies have shown that 60 per cent of men and half of all women will experience at least one traumatic experience during their lives. However, most of those people will “bounce back” from the experience, and not go on to develop a form of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

As time passes from the moment of trauma, accomplishments are needed that allows an individual to slowly re-establish their sense of security.

Boivin gives the example of getting back behind the wheel in the wake of a car accident.

“It really brings us back into contact with our natural support systems, and that’s hugely important because that sets the stage for us to us …to digest what’s happened and begin to heal,” said Boivin. “If that avoidance persists over time … (it) can prevent us from having those corrective experiences. And the same goes for being overprotective.”

Helping loved ones cope in the afSTEPH WILLEMS/METROLAND termath of a trauma means providing Dr. Michele Boivin, left and Dr. Luis Oliver, both psychologists at the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre, the right amount of support, but not speak at a Sept. 24 public conference on the ways to cope in the wake of a traumatic event. overdoing it. Listening to the individBioPed Ottawa - Advertorial ual, understanding their feelings and accepting their initial coping methods is key, said Dr. Luis Oliver, psychologist at the Royal.

“What really makes something traumatic is how much it threatens us, or how much it violates us. This can be something we experience directly, or not necessarily,” she said. “It can be something we observe happen to something else, learning of something violent or accidental happening to someone close to you, or it can be the experience of repeated exposure to upsetting details of something that’s happened.”

Boivin said that a traumatic event can threaten and challenge people’s belief system and expectation of personal safety, leading to emotional and behavioral changes – even troubling physical symptoms - that are out of character for the individual. Guilt, anger, fear and anxiety are all common reactions.

“The behaviours you see people engaging in are really an effort to cope with what’s happening,” said Boivin.

Just because our health needs require products to assist us doesn’t mean we have to sacrifice our fashion or lifestyle for it. BioPed Footcare Centre www.bioped.com in O awa, Ontario offers a complete range of compression stockings, ideal for relieving pain resul ng from general aches and pains, diseases and disorders, while also having an appearance that doesn’t get in the way of our lifestyles and fashion choices.

These aren’t your grandmother’s compression stockings www.bioped.com/products compression_stockings.asp.

Compression stockings have a somewhat falsified reputa on that they are ugly brown stockings (o en mes worn only by seniors) without a hint of a stylish note. This impression may have been accurate years ago, but it is not so today. BioPed offers a stylish variety of compression stockings, appealing

for both genders and all personal styles. Our compression stockings are available in an array of colours, pa erns, styles, and levels of sheerness.

When you wear these compression stockings, no one will know the difference from regular socks or stockings; you can look great and feel great, too!

Compression stockings are useful to relieve and treat a wide range of condi ons. You do not have to be a senior to feel the benefits of compression stockings. Many pregnant women who experience swelling of the feet and legs find relief wearing them, just as someone would if they have a vein condi on or diabetes. BioPed understands that pain can occur for both men and women, people of all ages, and as a result of a wide range of condi ons. That’s why we offer a great selec on of compression stockings that are effec ve, comfortable, discreet and stylish.

For added comfort and relief, the team at BioPed can measure you for compression stockings so that they fit you properly and provide the right amount of support you require. A discussion with your family physician is also recommended to ensure the right prescrip on is wri en for you.

Help available for those in need Continued from page 25

What isn’t helpful is to minimize a person’s suffering, or to give unhelpful advice. “Sometimes people are well meaning ‌ but if a person isn’t ready or isn’t where they’re coming from, this doesn’t help,â€? said Oliver, adding that intervention can be necessary if grief and coping turns to self-destruction or harm.

When should loved ones consider finding more support to prevent an individual from slipping into the grip of PTSD? “When we start to organize our lives around the trauma – when sadness or guilt starts to make decisions for us,� said Boivin.

When the intensity of a person’s distress doesn’t lessen, or if feelings begin to impair relationships, activities and self-care, that’s when intervention is needed. Help can be accessed from a number of sources – natural support groups (family or friends), a family doctor, mental health practitioners, and even employee assistance programs can all point people to the right resources.

Oliver said that while traumatic events can lead people to doubt their sense of purpose and existence, it can often lead people to reevaluate the things that are important in their lives

– leading to positive changes in their life’s trajectory. “Sometimes we go around thinking we’re going to live forever and nothing is ever going to affect us, which isn’t true,� he said.

Following the conversation at the Royal, a young woman – who recently emigrated from India – rose to thank the doctors for their information. She had been on the route 76 bus that collided with the VIA train near Fallowfield Station, emerging from the wreck with just some bruises.

However, with her family overseas, and with the stress of a job search and adjustment to a new life in a new country already present, she asked how could deal with her experience. “The traffic is chaotic in India, and I had driven for years,� she said. “Now I’m thinking I escaped that and landed on this bus.�

Oliver said that communication with others is essential, as it is the key way people cope. “Something like this can make you feel very much alone,� he said. “I encourage you to reach out to those you feel safe with.�

As attendees filed out of the auditorium, counsellors were seen embracing the woman, before starting a conversation.

Run for your life Community – Get ready to run for your life and for humanity.

The first ever Zombie Run for Humanity is set to take place Oct. 19 and the race is a fundraiser for Habitat for Humanity NCR (National Capital Region). Participants are encouraged to put their humanity on the line and race to survive the zombie apocalypse.

The race is designed to take humans across some tough terrain in what is being referred to as the ‘infected zone’ but is otherwise known as the Nepean National Equestrian Park at 401 Corkstown Rd. in Nepean. And organizers say the race is not about speed or skill, but survival as humans will come into contact with plenty of zombies along the way looking to infect them.

According to run co-founder Susan Vacheresse, she and fellow organizer Ryan Ricci wanted to give something back to the community but neither had ever organized a large-scale event before.

With the popularity of zombie walks and shows like The Walking Dead, the duo thought they might try that approach and see if it clicked with the public. And it has.

“We had no idea what we had our hands on,” Vacheresse said. “This appeals to a different demographic. The response is amazing.”

Vacheresse said people want to support community causes and this type of event provides a different opportunity for participation.

“I’ve always been active in the community as much as possible so I wanted to do something unique. Susan and I decided on the Zombie Run for Humanity as the perfect fit,” added Ricci. “There’s such a strong zombie following today so what better than an event like this?”

A realtor by day, Vacheresse said there is nothing better for her than seeing someone get into a new home. So she and Ricci agreed that Habitat for Humanity for be the best organization to benefit from their event.

“Habitat for Humanity is such a great cause and we felt we should support them and somehow create a name for the event that tied in with theirs,” Ricci added. “We’ve been working very hard to make this a huge success and we’re so thankful for the volunteers who’ve been helping us out, especially those from Habitat for Humanity.”

The focus of the run is survival.

At the start, the human participants will be given an identification number and three flags. The flags are life and they attract the zombies. The zombies will do everything they can to take the flags. If a human loses all their flags but finish the race, they run with the knowledge they are infected.

Zombie participants in infected and are classified by their state of decay.

They can be walkers or chasers but their goal it to grab life from the humans.

Vacheresse said the race will be through a five kilometre obstacle course that will take runners through fields, tall grass, woods, obstacles and

put them face to face with zombies looking to infect them.

“We wanted to appeal to everyone,” Vacheresse said. “This appeals to people who aren’t athletic and people who are...it’s an experience. At the end of the race, you either survive or you are infected.”

And at the end, there is the surprise decontamination chamber experience that awaits those who have been infected. Vacheresse said those details will only come to light at the event.

She and her daughter Donna MacAulay spent last Wednesday promoting the event with appearances at Algonquin College and on CTV morning live. MacAulay drew a few stares along the way as she had her zombie makeup professionally done.

“I’m starting to hear people talking about it on the streets which is a great thing – (I am) very happy and proud,” Ricci said.

“We had no idea the response would be like this,” Vacheresse added. “The generosity we’ve encountered since we started this has been incredible.”

While total event participation is being capped at 1,000, there is only room for 150 zombies so those interested in tapping into their creepy side should register early. Human runners and zombies can register online at

Cadillac Fairview announces new stores and renovations coming to the Rideau Centre for 2016.

Downtown centre to get $360M revamp Denis Armstrong

News - Fashionistas resigned to going somewhere else for their high-end shopping fixes will soon find salvation closer to home.

On Thursday, Sept. 26 Mayor Jim Watson, Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury and Cadillac Fairview’s Sal Iacono broke ground on the $360 million Rideau Centre redevelopment project that will introduce United States

retail giants Nordstrom, Victoria’s Secret and J. Crew to the city and add flagship department locations for Canadian retailers Simons and Harry Rosen.

When construction ends in 2016, the new Rideau

Public Meetings All public meetings will be held at Ottawa City Hall, 110 Laurier Avenue West, unless otherwise noted.

For a complete agenda and updates, please sign up for e-mail alerts or visit Public Meetings and Notices on ottawa.ca, or call 3-1-1.

Monday, October 7 Crime Prevention Ottawa-Board Meeting 5 p.m. Colonel By Room Tuesday, October 8 Planning Committee 9:30 a.m., Champlain Room Wednesday, October 9 City Council Meeting 10 a.m., Andrew S. Haydon Hall Thursday, October 10 Built Heritage Sub-Committee 9:30 a.m., Champlain Room Ad # 2012-12-6062-21140-S

R0012331606-1003

Centre will be one-third larger, with an additional 21,350 square metres of premium fashion and food retail including a 3,250square-metre dining hall, three levels of underground parking, a significantly enhanced contemporary look on Rideau Street with a refurbished Ogilvy’s, and direct access to two light rail stations along the city’s new Confederation line.

The current mall, which was originally built in 1983 and in some parts resembles a maze of escalators and dead ends, will be extensively updated with a contemporary look with extensive use of quartz and glass that will tie what is currently a confusing series of loosely-connected buildings.

This three-year project is a large feather in Watson’s cap, or in this case, construction helmet.

As mayor, Watson’s made reviving the downtown core one of his top priorities.

“For too many years this part of downtown was ignored,” Watson said. “With the redevelopment of the Rideau Centre, a new Arts Court and light rail underway, we’re showing that Ottawa is an exciting urban centre looking to the future with a strong economy.”

Mayor reschedules transportation speech City needed time to mourn after fatal bus-train crash: Watson Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Saying the city was in mourning following a tragic bus-train collision that killed six people aboard an OC Transpo bus on Sept. 18, Mayor Jim Watson canceled a planned speech on the future of transportation in the city.

The speech, which has since been rescheduled to Oct. 9, was to coincide with the release of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s draft transportation master plan â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a blueprint outlining the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s transit, road, cycling and pedestrian priorities until 2031. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As you are aware, the legislative calendar is quite challenging from now until December, but I felt that we needed time and space to allow our city to mourn and to focus on providing support to those affected by the tragedy,â&#x20AC;? the mayor wrote in a memo to councillors on Sept. 24.

The speech, which was set to take place on Sept. 23, is expected to have a focus on the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plans for where and when to extend light-rail transit, among other transportation topics.

The rescheduled speech on the morning of Oct. 9 will be followed by the tabling of the draft transportation master plan at a joint transportation committee and transit committee meeting at 3 p.m.

I felt that we needed time and space to allow our city to mourn and to focus on providing support to those affected by the tragedy.

JIM WATSON

Public information sessions for the transportation master plan (including the plans for pedestrians and cycling) will take place on the following dates between 4 and 8 p.m.: â&#x20AC;˘ Oct. 15 at city hall, 110 Laurier Ave. W. â&#x20AC;˘ Oct. 17 at the Kanata Recreation Centre, 100 Walter Baker Dr.

â&#x20AC;˘ Oct. 22 at the Walter Baker Sports Centre, 100 Malvern Dr. â&#x20AC;˘ Oct. 24 at the Bob MacQuarrie Recreation Complex, 1490 Youville Dr. The cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s transit commission will consider the transportation master plan on Oct. 16 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; before all of the information sessions have happened.

Consideration of all parts of the transporation master plan, including pedestrian and cycling plans, will take place during a Nov. 15 transportation committee meeting.

The infrastructure master plan and the Official Plan will be discussed by planning committee on Nov. 8.

The city plans to wrap up the concurrent review of its master plans â&#x20AC;&#x201C; an exercise the city has deemed â&#x20AC;&#x153;Building a Liveable Ottawaâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; when council considers all the plans at once during a Nov. 26 meeting.

Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s approval of the corresponding Official Plan Amendment bylaw would take place Dec. 11.

Plans are available at ottawa.caliveableottawa and comments can be submitted by email to planning@ottawa.ca.

Changes to Greenbank Road police station won’t impact response times: Fisher Jennifer McIntosh

News - Residents in the west end won’t have to worry about longer response times despite changes to the Greenbank Road police station, said director of facilities Ian Fisher.

Fisher was asked to speak about the changes to the city’s second largest station at Knoxdale-Merivale Coun. Keith Egli’s fall open house on Sept. 24.

“Residents are worried about what changes might mean for them,” Egli said.

“I thought having Ian (Fisher) talk about what’s happening would help to ease some of those concerns.”

Fisher said last June the police services board approved a long-term plan for the growth of police facilities in the city.

The aim is to plan for service as the city grows and where that service will take place.

There are currently two dozen facilities that range from the police headquarters on Elgin Street to the training facilities at Algonquin College.

“We looked out 17 years in the future,” Fisher said. “Because it ties in with develop-

ment charges and some other plans the city will have and tried to dovetail with those.”

He added they looked very closely at the facility on Greenbank.

It was built in the 1970s by Nepean and renovated a decade later to go from two storeys to three storeys.

“We have simply outgrown it,” Fisher said. “It’s also a very hard building on the inside, made mostly of concrete so it’s hard to do renovations.”

Nothing will be done until the year 2024, Fisher said.

“But we intend to engage the public early on our plan for that station,” he said, adding police start planning the specifics of a new building five to six years before its built.

“We started talking to the public years before the new Huntmar station was built,” Fisher said, adding along with the change at Greenbank, it’s likely Ottawa police will need to build another station.

Fisher said the heating and ventilation systems are breaking down and the plumbing needs to be replaced. The cost of renovating the building could be in the tens of millions.

The plan also looked at how the site is

used – the land is mostly taken up by parking.

“It’s a site we absolutely want to stay part of, but the building will change over time,” Fisher said, adding the cost of renovations would be comparable to building a new facility that fits the needs of the police in the future.

The police currently have two temporary offices leased on Fairmont and Queensway avenues. Fisher said the occupants of those buildings would be moved to the Greenbank station as part of the long-term plan.

“We will have less of a uniformed presence on the site and more of an administrative function,” Fisher said. “And the building will likely grow. We want to make better use of the site.”

No changes will be made to police or how the area is patrolled as calls are currently allocated to a patrol division. The closest cars are then dispatched to the call.

“When you dial 911, it’s not a car coming from a police station, it’s a car patrolling the area,” Fisher said. “So the change of Greenbank to a more administrative function won’t affect the calls for service or the time it takes for cars to get to an emergency call.”

United Way announces its campaign goal Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - United Way Ottawa has announced a $21-million goal for this year’s community campaign, a significant drop from last year’s target of $30 million.

Executive director Michael Allen called the number an attainable goal that targets individuals, rather than decimals.

“It’s not less, it’s different,” said Allen, during the campaign launch breakfast at the Ernst and Young Centre on Sept. 26.

The United Way will no longer ask donors to raise money beyond what the charity called measurable goals: defined by requests from member organizations with designated priorities.

“The United Way campaign in the past used to be an estimate of how much we thought we could raise, but it didn’t matter for what,” Allen said.

“Now we have the ability to be much more accountable and transparent about what the money that’s given to United Way causes can do,” Allen said.

Last year, the organization said it directly helped 65,000 people, using $16 million of the $30 million raised in the 2012-13 campaign.

The remaining $14 million from that campaign went to donor-specified charities outside of the United Way’s targeted priorities.

This year, the organization said it would like to focus on increasing the number of people it helps directly to 76,000.

“We want to be able to tell donors what donor’s dollars are responsible for,” Allen said.

Three years ago, United Way Ottawa changed the way the way the organization allocated funding col-

lected from its annual campaign, creating priorities and criteria to appeal to donors.

Allen said this will not change.

Donors will still be able to allocate funds to other charities, with that money considered a separate and over-and-above the $21-million campaign goal.

Allen also said the way funding is dispersed has changed.

“Twenty-million dollars, we know that has the capacity to change lives,” Allen said. “Our goal is about changing the lives of 76,000 people.”

Fighting for community dollars, Allen said has become increasingly difficult, as more and more charities and fundraisers compete for donations.

Allen cited technology as a game changer for charities, allowing people to donate almost anonymously, on websites such as Kickstarter.

“Our donors want to know if their money is making a difference, if it’s making results,” Allen said. “This is where United Way will continue to expand and lead the work that we do. We work with partners. No one organization or agency can affect the change we want. We need everyone to come together and I think that is where United Way can play a role and affect the kind of change we want.”

Allen said he hopes donors see beyond numbers and continue to be impacted by the stories of success.

“The range of people the money helps is pretty broad,” Allen said.

“For example, the people who were

United Way Ottawa announces this year’s Community Campaign goal to raise $21 million. affected by last week’s tragedy in Barrhaven, a lot of those people found themselves on the other end of the phone of a distress centre that we help fund and that is what we are there to do - help those people. Its not necessarily people who are poor who need help. It could be you or I, and I think that is the message.”

Allen added he is proud of the citizens in this city who do donate.

Two weeks ago the organization announced

this year’s campaign chairs: Barbara Cook and Goldy Hyder.

“This year the emphasis is less on the millions and more on the thousands of people we can help, that’s important,” Hyder said.

Cook said the two will highlight the change that donor dollars can make as a way to encourage donations.

The two co-chairs said every dollar is hard to raise but are up for the challenge and have no doubt Ottawa will be able to raise the money.

Donors can contribute through payroll deductions or online giving, corporate gifts and through special fundraising events.

The community campaign will wrap up on March 31, 2014.

Knights mauled by Panthers The Knights next game is Sunday, Oct. 6 at 2 p.m. where they match up against Myers Riders at Robert Barr Football Field.

For schedules and more information about the Knights, visit www.kanataknightsfootball.com.

Sports - The bantam Kanata Knights lost 41-8 to the Cumberland Panthers in a hardfought game at Robert Barr Football Field on Sept. 29.

The offence played hard, moving the ball down the field.

With a big 30-yard run, Ashton Vanasse brought the Knights near the goal line, and Jordan Quesnel was able to run in the only touchdown for the Knights.

It was a great effort by everyone on the field who played both sides of the ball as well, including Josh Warren, Thomas Patridge, Trey Russell-Johnson, Nick Beer, Brandon Atwood, Patrick Heika, Abed Hamidi, Kaden Dellaire, Renato Perrochio, and Jacob St Croix.

The defence was strong holding the Panthers to only 14 points in the first half.

Brandon Whiteman and Tristan Hubley had quarterback sacks as well. A hard-fought second half was played by Eamonn Bernard, Dylan Lachance, Cesar Becerril, Nick Ainger, Dante Bourbonnais, Liam MacInnis, Andrew Clarke, Habib Laye Diabate and Duncan MacDonald.

MOSQUITO

The Kanata Knights Mosquito team lost 52-0 to the Cumberland Panthers at Robert Barr Football Field on Sept. 28.

It was a fog covered grid iron for the first two quarters, but even the sun coming out in the last half couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help the Knights rally a touch down despite a beautiful long catch from receiver Kasseem Ferdinand. Knightsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; defence showed true grit, never giving up with tons of team spirit and effort from twins Braydon and Andrew Campeau, Jack McCrady, Ben Yee and Riley Gilmour.

The Knights will play their second last game of the regular season against the Myers Riders at Robert Barr Football Field on Oct. 4 at 6:30 p.m.

Cupboards bare at Ottawa Humane Society Iams shortage leads to feeding problems Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - Bruce Roney, the executive director at the Ottawa Humane Society, said the cupboards are bare at the Nepean-based animal shelter.

Iams had been donating wet cat and dog food, but

an interruption in the supply of canned food in the spring caused the donations to stop.

“They started supplying us with cash so we could go out and purchase the food,” Roney said.

“But they (Iams) indicated that wouldn’t be a permanent solution.”

Changing the animals’ food isn’t an option, as a consistent diet is important to an animal’s health, Roney said.

“Switching food would mean a lot of vomiting and diarrhea,” he said.

There can be as many as 11,000 animals in the shelter’s system over the course of a year. Roney said the monthly

cost of feeding them could run as much as $6,500.

Iams said the supply shortage is related to a plant conversion. “…We are undertaking to ensure a more robust, quality supply chain for the future,” Iams said in an emailed statement.

Roney said the humane society’s relationship with Iams has lasted 12 years. This is the

first time there has been an interruption in the donation of food.

“We are hoping the community can step up and help with the short-term problem with pet food,” Roney said.

“We didn’t budget for this.”

Residents can help by dropping off canned chicken cat and kitten food or the canned puppy and dog food at 245 West

Hunt Club Rd. Cash gifts for the purchase of food will also be accepted.

Roney said some residents already dropped off some food before the end of September.

“We know the public wants us to continue our lifesaving programs and that’s why we’re turning to them for help feeding the animals in our care,” Roney said.

Infrastructure charges catch owners offguard laura.mueller@metroland.com

NEW OWNERS COULD BE EXEMPT

Owners who bought their properties unaware of the extra charge won’t have to pay, however. In June, the city approved a program to provide relief for 73 property owners who should be on the hook to pay the city a total of $1.1 million. The city would absorb that cost in-

stead.The committee agreed that outstanding local improvement charges should be dismissed if the owner bought the property after the infrastructure construction and if the tax certificate did not list the pending charges.

Those property owners would also have to sign an affidavit saying they were not aware of the pending charges when they bought the property.

At issue now is whether the city should accept a different type of documentation from owners to prove they were unaware of extra charges owing on their property when they purchased it.

Ron Corbett, a Manotick resident, said the city’s program doesn’t offer “real relief” because real estate agents advise homebuyers to register for title insurance – not a tax

certificate.

“We did not request a tax certificate,” he told the court of revision. “We have title insurance, which is the norm.

“We certainly were not expecting a hidden tax liability that is the same amount as four years of taxes.”

That leaves property owners who could benefit from the relief program in a pickle because they don’t have the right

paperwork.

“Clearly we have a condition that might not be appropriate in terms of capturing the people we were intending to capture,” Moffatt said.

City lawyer Tim Marc, with Moffatt’s support, said staff will look at the issue and see if there is a fix that could be brought to council before the end of the year.

An important consideration

is for property owners who fall into that category to ensure they register for to delay their payments to begin in June of 2014, Marc said, leaving time for the city to work out the kinks in the relief program.

He also advised people to seek their own legal advice on the matter.

Interest charges have also been reduced or waived on some of the charges.

News - Non-profit groups in Manotick are shocked and worried that they owe the city hundreds of thousands of dollars for sewer improvements.

The charges for sewer extensions in Manotick are part of the city’s efforts to finally collect fees known as “local improvement charges” from property owners.

“They signed a petition because they needed sewer service and they got it and they’re glad they have it. Now they are finding that they have to pay for it,” said Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt.

“They knew there would be a cost,” he said. But the groups didn’t realize they’d actually have to pay it, since they are exempt from property taxes.

Moffatt, who was heading the court of revision meeting because the regularchairwoman Coun. Jan Harder was away, committed to working to erase the amounts owed by properties in Manotick village that are exempt from taxes. That includes three churches, the legion hall and Watson’s Mill, which doesn’t have washrooms or potable water.

The non-profit seniors’ residence, Hyfield Place, is a similar case and Moffatt will be looking into that. Although it isn’t exempt from property taxes, the city subsidizes half the 30 units as affordable housing. Hyfield Place owes $142,000 for the sewer improvement.

The local improvement charges apply to a number of infrastructure improvements across Ottawa that were requested by property owners who agreed to pay for the upgrades because they weren’t warranted for the city to undertake.But while the city has been undertaking local improvement construction for a decade, it never sent the bills to the property owners.

City lawyer Tim Marc said the delay is a result of the city focusing on getting the construction done instead of enforcing the payments in a timely manner.

“We acknowledge that it should have been done more quickly,” Marc said.

While the city made a mistake by not collecting the money soon enough, it doesn’t mean property owners should be off the hook for expensive upgrades the city made at owners’ requests, Moffatt said.

“They should be expected to pay for it,” Moffatt said. “I realize it took too long, but that’s the reality of local improvements.”

Delays in collecting the fees are “not a fair argument” for residents not to pay, Moffatt

said.

“They’re the ones that asked for the work to be done,” he said. “If you’re a regular resident of the City of Ottawa, is that OK for you to then accept that charge because we took too long to charge it to the people who asked for it. So we’ll just let the entire city pay for the work. You’re talking about millions of dollars.”

Dreams take flight on Disney trip Brier Dodge

brier.dodge@metroland.com

News - The classic Cinderella’s castle at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom made the little girls gasp and mouths drop open.

“This way to the princesses,” said the guide, an elderly man who told the girls to call him Grandpa Joe. The six little girls, members of a group of children selected to travel from Ottawa to Orlando, Fla. with the Dreams Take Flight program, wasted no time making their way across the amusement park, stopping only to point at the rides and Disney characters.

“You look enchanting,” one of the little girls said to Princess Aurora.

“It’s so romantic,” said another.

The girls were just some of the 110 local children

who travelled with Dreams Take Flight, a Canadian program that takes deserving children from a variety of backgrounds on a trip to Disney World.

Several children on the Sept. 24 flight had a sibling with autism or their own medical issues. Others live in foster care, or their family’s income prohibits trips like this.

But Dreams Take Flight allowed the children to fly, eat, spend a day a day at Disney World and pick out a special souvenir to take home thanks to donations.

The program was started

by Air Canada staffers, who volunteer their time – including the pilot who flew the day trip’s plane – to take children in small groups around the park.

Most of the kids had never been on an airplane or outside Canada.

First-time flight, trip for many children Continued from page 39

Many of the children agreed that it was one of the best days of their lives.

Hunter Donnelly-McPhail’s mom saved news of the surprise trip for Aug. 18, his birthday.

“I couldn’t stand up any longer, I had to sit down,” he said about when he first heard he was headed to Disney World. The flight – his first ever – was almost too much excitement to handle for Hunter, who wants to be a flight attendant.

Taequan Moise was all smiles the entire day, from the time he arrived at Disney World waving at the volunteers, to the plane ride home when he was one of the only children awake on the plane ride home.

Taequan said he could probably stay home from school to rest after the 20-hour day trip, but he wanted to tell his friends about his day.

“I would tell them about the rides, but about the food mostly. Fries, burgers, hot dogs,” he said.

The kids had an early start to their day, arriving at the airport at 4 a.m. at a private hangar.

They travelled in style, receiving a police escort straight to the theme park once arriving in Orlando.

They received VIP treatment: fast passes that ushered them to the front of lines on all the Disney rides throughout the day and a brand new outfit of donated shoes from Crocs and clothes from Mark’s Work Wearhouse.

While there were a few skinned knees and tears from first-time flyers, the number of smiles and looks of disbelief far outnumbered any frowns.

Many only needed one word –

Hunter Donnelly-McPhail hands out chips to one of the other children on the flight ride home while doing his honourary flight attendant duties. “amazing”, “best” or “great” – to describe their day, a dream come true, as they slowly came down from the sugar high and dozed to sleep on the plane ride home.

“It was really, really, really fun,” said Hunter. “From a scale

from one to 10, it would be a thousand million. A thousand million and one.”

Central was a vital link between neighbours

I

t was a complete mystery to me. I never thought much about it before Uncle Lou, with his usual feeling of compassion for Mother, installed our first telephone out on the farm in Northcote.

But once that beautiful oak contraption was hung on our wall in the kitchen, I was in complete awe of how someone not even in our house, knew when we wanted to talk to someone miles away, or they wanted to talk to us.

That someone was right inside Briscoe’s General Store! She sat on a padded chair in front of a big board with holes in it, and long cords trapped in a desk-like affair in front of her. Usually, a light would come on, but sometimes a little bell would ring, and she would know exactly what to do with those cords and the holes in the board with the red lights flashing!

Sometimes, Mr. Briscoe manned what was called the switchboard himself, but I have little memory of his voice coming into our oak

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories phone on the kitchen wall.

It was someone we simply called “Central”.

The very first day we got the phone, will stay in my mind forever. Mother cried.

Not from sadness, but from the sheer wonder of finally being able to talk to someone at will beyond the four walls of our old log house.

That first night, we sat around the kitchen waiting for the phone to ring.

There was no looking through Eaton’s catalogue that night, or whittling or playing cards at the pine table. Even Mother’s diaries never left the back-to-thewall cupboard. We sat in a circle as if we were in a theatre. Only Father wasn’t that impressed.

Finally, it came around to bedtime, and it looked very

much like the phone was not going to ring.

It was Mother who decided, if no one was going to ‘call in’, then she would ‘call out’.

She went to the beautiful new phone, which I thought was every bit as nice as the new oak ice box grandfather bought for us, and took the receiver off the hook, and pressed a little black button on the side of the box.

“Could I please talk to Bertha Thom,” she said into the black mouthpiece.

And there it was! There was Mother talking to Aunt Bertha! Just as if she was in another room, and not across the 20 acre field on the next farm.

When the phone was put in that day, we were told our ring was ‘two longs and a

short’.

It didn’t take us long to know the rings of everyone else in Northcote. But it really didn’t matter if we knew the right rings or not, because “Central” as we called the switchboard at Briscoes General Store, was well acquainted with the rings of everyone for miles around.

Having a phone was not without its problems. When it rang, it could be for any number of homes in Northcote!

As many as four or even five other families shared the line! We soon found out you had to be extremely careful what you said on the phone, because, if they chose to listen in, everyone who took off their receiver where privileged to your conversation. And it wasn’t unusual to have your complete conversation repeated the next day at the General Store!

It also wasn’t unusual to pick up the receiver and ask Central if she knew where Mrs. Hines was...her advice was needed. And Central

always knew where everyone was. Sometimes when Mother rang a neighbour, Central would come on and say, “Oh, she’s gone into Renfrew to Walkers...she needed some lace trim for a blouse she’s making. She should be back in a couple hours...do you want me to ring you when she gets home?”

Central was the lifeblood of the entire neighbourhood.

If there was a fire, or any other emergency, somehow Central was able to ring all the farms at the same time, at least that seemed to be the case. Because everyone responded in jig time to give a helping hand where needed.

Of course you didn’t need Central if you knew the ring of the person you were calling. You just pressed the little black button on the side of the telephone and twirled the handle on the other side, giving the number of rings to reach whomever you wanted to talk to.

And it wasn’t unusual for Central to interrupt

your call to tell you some important bit of news, or to say someone else was trying to get the phone, and would you please hurry it up and free up the line! It was different when Mr. Briscoe was answering a call. With him it was all business...no time for idle chatter with Mr. Briscoe.

Mother always felt safer once we had the phone put in on the farm.

Some of the isolation she felt when she first moved to Northcote was gone. It was my sister Audrey who noticed it. “It’s not exactly like New York,” Audrey said.

“But for Mother it beats not being able to talk to another soul without getting out the horse and buggy or the old Model T.” Yes indeed. The new phone made a world of difference to our lives on the farm. And “Central”, I thought back then, was just about the most important person in Northcote.

She was that vital link between isolation and connection with a neighbour.

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

INGREDIENTS

• 1 fresh trout fillet, skin on (about 375 g/12 oz) • 25 ml (2 tbsp) soy sauce • 15 ml (1 tbsp) liquid honey • 15 ml (1 tbsp) rice vinegar • 10 ml (2 tsp) wasabi paste • 10 ml (2 tsp) finely minced fresh gingerroot • 300 ml (1-1/4 cups) water • 250 ml (1 cup) sushi rice, well rinsed in cold water • 50 ml (1/4 cup) seasoned rice vinegar • 15 ml (1 tbsp) toasted sesame seeds • 4 toasted nori sheets • 1/2 sweet yellow pepper, thinly slivered • 1 carrot, thinly slivered • 8 stalks watercress PREPARATION

Rinse the fish under cold water and pat dry. In a shallow dish, combine the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, wasabi and ginger. Add the fish, turning to coat. Refrigerate for 30 minutes or up to two hours.

In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the water and rice. Cover and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and sim-

mer for 12 to 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed. Remove the pan from the heat and let the rice stand, covered, for 15 minutes. Gently stir in the seasoned vinegar with fork. Then divide the rice into four portions and cover with damp cloths.

Spray a grill pan or a grill with cooking spray. Remove the trout from the marinade and place skin-side down on the grill over medium-high heat. Cover with the lid closed for one to two minutes. Turn the fish with a spatula, then cover and cook for two more minutes or until fish flakes easily with fork.

Remove the skin and sprinkle both sides with the toasted sesame seeds.

Place the sheets of nori on clean dishcloths or a bamboo sushi mat lined with plastic wrap. Dampen your fingers with wa-

ter and lightly press one portion of the rice into thin layer to cover one sheet of nori, leaving a 2.5 centimetre (one-inch) section at the top edge without rice.

Make shallow groove along centre of the rice and place a few slivers of yellow pepper and carrot inside groove. Top with one-quarter of the trout, broken into narrow pieces with your fingers, and a few sprigs watercress.

Curl edge of the cloth/mat to help form the toasted nori into cylinder, pressing firmly to enclose filling, then seal the edge with water. Repeat with remaining ingredients to make four rolls. Slice each roll into bitesized pieces.

City’s tallest buildings planned for Lees Avenue Dense, tall development planned for future light-rail stations laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - The future of Lees Avenue is looking up.

A bold new vision for the area around Old Ottawa East and Sandy Hill was presented at city hall on Sept. 24.

With light rail coming to the area by 2018, the city is preparing to allow some of the tallest buildings in the city – up to 45 storeys – to pop up around the station.

“If you can’t do height here, where can you do it?” said Don Morse, the city planner who designed the plan, referred to as a “transit-oriented development” plan, or TOD. If approved, it would be the tallest buildings the city would allow under its zoning bylaw.

The area around Lees already has a few high-rise apartment complexes rising up around 20 storeys, and it also features a satellite campus and sports field for the University of Ottawa, which would be allowed to be redeveloped with highrises in the future.

Claudio Brun del Re, executive director for physical resource services for the university, said uOttawa is currently starting a master planning process and hasn’t defined a future use for those lands, but the school is supportive of the city’s ideas for the area.

“There’s a lot of energy there,” Morse said. “With this development, people will know where Lees is.”

The plan would put the zoning in place to allow for future development in the long term.

It also defines locations for future pedestrian and cycling connections, including a new bridge connecting Clegg Avenue to Hurdman Station.

Planning committee will consider transit-oriented development plans for Lees, Hurdman and Blair in December.

the road will have to be constructed. The new road, which has already been approved by city council, would have to be raised above ground on its approaches on either side of the river, and again as it connects with the highway.

“I wish it was an intersection at-grade,” Morse said, referring to the future intersection of the Alta Vista parkway and Lees Avenue. “It would be much better if it was built as a main street. I’ve been advised that the geometry wouldn’t work.”

As a compromise to the community, which does not want such a road to be built, the neighbouring Springhurst Park would be expanded east and fill the rest of the space to the future road that is currently an empty field zoned for mixed-use buildings.

ROBINSON VILLAGE

The neighbouring area on the north side of Highway 417, Robinson Village, would also be upzoned but to a far lesser extent – only about eight storeys. A group of several Robinson Village residents attended the meeting to make it known they feel it’s a missed opportunity not to allow taller buildings and more density in their neighbourhood.

Doug Biesenthal, who has owned a home in the area for around 30 years, said he is in favour of “progress.”

“They’re restricting these people here (in Robinson Village),” he said. “If these people (in Old Ottawa East) are going up 20 storeys, why

LAURA MUELLER/METROLAND

William Markell, a resident of Robinson village in Sandy Hill, points out what the city has planned for his home’s location in the future as part of a transit-oriented development plan for the Lees area. can’t they do it here?”

Biesenthal said buildings aren’t the only thing intensification critics could bemoan.

“Do they complain about the height of trees in the neighbourhood?” he said.

Morse said he sees opportunities for modest intensification in Robinson Village, so the height limits are going up slightly. There are other property owners in the neighbourhood who are against any taller buildings, he said.

Another Robinson Village resident, Deanne McLintock, said she was OK with the plan, especially if it means more businesses and shops open up on Lees Avenue and the plan allows for a pedestrian overpass of the highway so she can walk there.

HURDMAN STATION

Plans for development around Hurdman would mostly allow buildings in the 20-storey range to fill in what is now National Capital Commission greenspace.

Lands north of the future light-rail line would likely be developed first, said city planner Cheryl Brouillard. That’s because lands farther to the south, where there is currently a hill, is an old landfill that would have to be cleaned up before development could occur.

“It’s going to be a long time before we redevelop that land,” she said.

One man who lives in the area but declined to give his name said the amount of den-

sity proposed for his neighbourhood looks overwhelming. But he said he’s not too worried about it because it’s very unlikely that those developments would actually happen, at least within his lifetime.

“It would certainly change the area,” he said. “I personally don’t think it’s ever going to happen … but you have to have a plan.”

ALTA VISTA PARKWAY

The controversial future Alta Vista transportation corridor is featured on the plans as a commuter road connecting the General Hospital area across the Rideau River to connect to the Lees Highway 417 on-ramp.

Although Morse said he had hoped the future road could have more of a mainstreet feel in Old Ottawa East, it won’t be possible because of the raised geometry of how

Plans for the area around Blair Station won’t change too much because the major land owner – the Gloucester Centre mall – is not planning any big moves, said city planner Peter Giles.

The plan would encourage more residential development to be incorporated into the area around Blair and Ogilvie roads, but it would remain zoned mostly for mixed-use: commercial and residential buildings.

There are plans to replace the Ogilvie Road plaza containing a Shopper’s Drug Mart and Dollarama with a new retail and possible office building, but the developer has room to consider a residential component in the future, Giles said.

Adding more cycling connections is a main priority around Blair Station, especially raised cycling tracks on City Park Drive, which will likely see more development in the future.

The vision also includes the hope for a large public plaza and park at the LRT station that would allow views and connections to the Rideau River and multi-use pathways along it.

A new interior road that almost follows the shape of the shoreline would provide access to new developments there.

Burt Lamoureux, the stationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s public education representative, said the guys had an incredible time working with the residents to make the calendar. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had so much fun doing it, it should have been a Youtube video,â&#x20AC;? he laughed.

He said he canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look at any of the photos without remembering all the hilarious things that happened on set throughout the five photo shoots.

The fact that the calendar will help people in his community only makes it better. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the community we all live in,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some have us have friends and family who live here.â&#x20AC;?

The care centre has been working to raise $500,000 to upgrade the facility from top to bottom.

The centre has printed 1,000 calendars, which are being sold for $20 each. They will be available at the care centre and various stores throughout the region.

Firefighters, family members, local business owners and area residents poured into the long-term care home on Snake Island Road to get a first look at the 2014 calendar, which hits stores this week.

The care centreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fundraising committee partnered with volunteer firefighters at Station 91 in Metcalfe to produce the 2014 calendar.

News - The Nepean Redskins football club will retire its moniker.

Club president Stephen Dean announced Sept. 20 that the name would be phased out over the next two or three years.

“The club came under scrutiny two years ago because there are those in the community that found the name offensive,” Dean said. “The name of the club and the controversy became the focus of the club and we wanted the focus to be on the sport and the kids. We didn’t want pictures of the kids playing to turn up somewhere being associated with racism.”

The club was formed in 1978 and the first team that was at the mosquito level was billed as the Barrhaven Buccaneers. It was renamed the Redskins – patterned after the Washington NFL team – in 1981.

“The name is 35 years old and predates most of our volunteers,” Dean said. Kirk Brant, a Kanata resident, initially contacted the club in 2011 when

It’s official. We did it,” he posted to the wall of the group that has grown to 1,176 members.

Dean estimated the cost of changing the club’s name at more than $100,000.

“At $225 per helmet and $1,000 per jersey it adds up pretty quick,” he said, adding the Redskins didn’t want to pass along the cost of the name change to parents.

“Football is one of the only sports where the club provides almost all of the equipment,” Dean said. Dean said he hoped Jennifer McIntosh/Metroland to have a new name to announce Stephen Dean, the president of the Nepean Redskins in December, but the change announced the club would be phasing out the old name over would likely take the next two the next two years. He said the name change was the right seasons.

Frog exhibit hops back to Museum of Nature Natural habitats, 18 species on exhibit Michelle Nash

michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - It’s not easy being green - but at the Museum of Nature frogs are showing off just how much fun it can be.

The Frogs - A Chorus of Colours exhibit opened at the museum on Sept. 25.

The show features 18 species of frogs living in custombuilt habitats and 11 interactive components and games that patrons can enjoy.

“This exhibition has been extremely popular since it was created over 20 years ago,” said senior zookeeper Leslie Thompson.

Since its creation, the exhibition has travelled to 20 major cities across North America.

The Museum of Nature is the only Canadian venue at which the exhibition has appeared.

Among the many species on display are dart poison frogs, tree frogs and a hefty African bullfrog - which weighs almost a kilogram and is the size of a small desert plate.

Head of research at the mu-

seum, Mark Graham, said he finds the best part of the show is that people have the chance to see the frogs in natural habitats.

According to the museum, frogs live almost everywhere, with 4,800 species living world-wide, including 25 species in Canada. The amphibians can live in extreme hot and cold climates. The largest frog can grow up to the size of a human infant and the smallest frog is slightly more than a centimetre long.

Aside from watching the frogs hop, eat and sleep, people will also have a chance to participate in virtual dissections, frog I.Q. tests and an experiment seeing how far a frog can jump allowing everyone to learn fun facts while walking through the show.

The show will be on display at the museum until May 11, 2014 and costs an additional $4 above regular admission.

Frogs on display: American bullfrog - These frogs are named for their loud, deep mating calls.

Tadpoles - Most frogs start life as a fish-like tadpole.

African bullfrog - These frogs can live up to 40 years and can grow to up to 20 centimetres in diameter.

Smooth-sided toad - These toads have no teeth, but are considered bold predators by using their sticky tongues to catch their prey and swallowing it alive.

Chinese gliding frog These frogs have enlarged webbing between their toes which spread and act like a

parachutes when leaping.

Amazon milk frog - These frogs are named for the sticky white substance they secrete from their skin.

Ornate horned frog - These frogs pounce on prey with extraordinary speed, eating mice, beetles, snakes and other frogs.

Fire-bellied toad - These frogs use skin colours for protection. When disturbed they throw their legs in the air, revealing a bright red “fire belly” to startle an intruder.

Waxy monkey frog - These frogs climb trees thanks to grasping feet.

Poison dart frogs - Some of these frogs can create enough poison to kill 10 men.

Michelle Nash/Metroland

The popular Frogs-A Chorus of Colours has returned to the Canadian Museum of Nature.

The exhibit features 15 natural habitats for museum patrons to observes.

City, volunteers mark five years for Gay Zone Sexual health pilot project quickly becomes a success Steph Willems

steph.willems@metroland.com

News - What started as a pilot project in 2008 as a way for gay men to get anonymous testing for sexually-transmitted infections is now in need of an expansion due to its success.

The Gay Zone, a clinic operating out of the Centretown Community Health Centre at 420 Cooper St., was created with the help of activists and Ottawa Public Health in response to rising rates of STIs in Ottawa’s gay community.

On Sept. 25, organizers joined city staff and dignitaries in celebrating the fifth anniversary of the clinic.

The speed at which the idea of a clinic became a reality surprised its creator, Barry Deeprose, who is the co-chairman of the Gay Zone steering committee.

An activist for homosexual and HIV/AIDS-related issues, Deeprose was involved in the Gay Men’s Health Initiative, which had many of its own successes in improving health and spreading awareness.

Join us in keeping kids safe Andrew recalls being babysat by his older brothers regularly since his parents were rarely home; they each had two jobs. The family didn’t have a lot of money and so they didn’t have a lot of food; Andrew didn’t even have his own bed sheets. At school, other kids looked at him differently; his clothes were always too big and he didn’t always bring a lunch. Andrew remembers how embarrassed he was and how he would pretend being sick so he wouldn’t have to go.

More than 90 per cent of cases where CASO become involved, work is done to help the family. “While it’s in the public’s best interest to report on the signs, it’s not their responsibility to determine if a child is being abused,” MacKinnon says. CASO does that for the community. “We want the community to trust that we will do the work to figure out whether additional assistance is needed,” says MacKinnon. “But the first step comes with calling”.

October is Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention month. With circumstances such as Andrew’s, it’s important for the public to be aware of the signs of abuse and neglect.

In an effort to reach out to the community, the Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa (CASO) would like to increase the general public’s comfort when thinking of reporting suspicions of abuse or neglect. “People feel it’s hard to invade on parental rights, and they’re naturally hesitant to involve themselves,” says Executive Director Barbara MacKinnon. “When reporting to CASO, it doesn’t mean we are going to remove a child away from their home. It’s about assessing the situation and discovering whether the family may benefit from support services.”

“Anne, my 5th grade teacher is my unsung hero,” Andrew notes. “She was the one who called the Children’s Aid. My parents are not bad people; they never hurt me and always told me how much they loved me. They just needed a little help, and the Children’s Aid was able to do that.”

It’s hard to get people to get themselves screened and the rates of other STIs were going up, too.”

Deeprose said the lowered immunity caused by an STI makes those suffering much more susceptible to contracting other STIs, compounding the problem.

“I wrote a letter to the medical officer of health at the time that the community most at risk of STIs had the least services,” said Deeprose, adding that although a testing clinic already existed, he had heard many stories about gay men avoiding it due to feelings of persecution.

“Dave Salisbury was so welcoming…he said, ‘Let’s solve this problem.’ ” Resources from the Centretown Community Health

Centre, which receives funding from Ottawa Public Health, were reallocated to allow the facility to remain open one night a week to exclusively serve gay men seeking STI testing. The appearance of the clinic –called the Gay Zone -was kept low-key to encourage men to walk in off the street and access its services.

A diverse array of programming was created around the new clinic, as its creators sought to make it more than just a place for blood testing. A film night and book club sprang up, as did a yoga class, special events, and supports for gay youth and those recovering from narcotics addiction. “The idea was to treat gay men’s health holistically, meaning treat the whole body,” said Deeprose. “A big part of a person’s health is having a social network.”

Deeprose said he’d like to see the clinic used as a costefficient model for other cities that currently lack adequate health and social services for gay men. The amazingly fast turnaround of the clinic (from an idea in April of 2007 to fruition that September) was matched only by the demand for its services. Expecting about five men to show up each Thursday night, staff and volunteers saw the number of clients grow to 10 per week, and then to an average of 30 to 40.

“It’s at capacity,” said Deeprose. “We estimate there’s been over 5,000 visits over the past five years.”

Currently, the committee and health centre are looking at the possibility of creating a second night for the clinic, but making it a bare-bones affair, minus the activities.

56 Kanata Kourier-Standard EMC - Thursday, October 3, 2013

STEPH WILLEMS/METROLAND

Ottawa artist Christopher Griffin turned a beat-up Chevy Nova into a Super Nova for his contribution to Nuit Blanche Ottawa-Gatineau, held the night of Sept. 21. The second annual event saw Ottawa artists create interactive works of public art as part of the citywide pop-up festival. The theme of this year’s event was ‘Super Nova!’, and Griffin encouraged passers-by to create clay shapes and figures to attach to the once plain-Jane sedan.

A blue mood is nothing to worry about, Aries. It is just your body telling you that you may need to slow down a bit. Take heed and you’ll recharge in no time.

Taurus, you are beginning a contemplative phase of life right now, but you won’t have to sacrifice your social life to do so. Take a few days off from socializing and then return.

Try to avoid any deep conversations or controversial topics this week, Gemini. Right now it’s best if you focus on more trivial matters and enjoy yourself.

Cancer, give yourself more time to figure everything out if you are feeling indecisive about someone. Don’t forge ahead without feeling entirely comfortable with the person.

Leo, don’t drop everything you’re working on to address a developing issue at home. Others can handle the situation just as well as you, so keep your focus on preexisting tasks at hand.

Virgo, listen to friends and family members when they encourage you to try something new this week. Trust your instincts, as they seldom turn you in the wrong direction.

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes.

To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

You have no time for gossip this week, Libra. Your plate is already full at work and at home, so avoid getting caught up in anything that compromises your focus.

Scorpio, though it may feel like others are flying past you while you’re slowly plodding along, eventually things will even out and you’ll end up where you need to be.

Create some plausible plans for the future this week, Sagittarius.

Keep a journal to help you keep track of your ideas and make sense of your plans.

Capricorn, your generosity finds you devoting much of your time tending to the needs of others this week. Enjoy your time helping others and don’t be afraid to accept their gratitude.

Don’t get too hung up if your week is all work and little play. While your schedule might be hectic in the coming days, some relaxation time will arrive this weekend.

Pisces, make the most of new opportunities that present themselves this week. The effort you put in will pay off in due time.

This weeks puzzle answers in next weeks issue
