Farmers’ market stunned by Lansdowne changesLAURA MUELLER

[email protected]

The Ottawa Farmers’ Market found out the city plans to reduce the market’s space at Lansdowne the same time the public found out.

“We didn’t even realize there would be a change,” said Andy Terauds, president of the Ottawa Farmers’ Market. “We were caught fl at-footed.”

Terauds said the farmers’ market has been working with the City of Ottawa for two years to ensure the market’s future at Lansdowne is secured, and to plan for fu-ture expansion of the market.

On June 28, city council approved the

development of a permanent space for the farmers’ market at Lansdowne, based on guidelines developed in partnership with the farmers’ market and J.C. Williams Group. Council agreed to “make provisions to incorporate these principles,” including a provision to have 150 market vendor stalls measuring three-by-six metres; that would translate into 2,700 square metres of space dedicated to the market.

The plan presented on Oct. 14 included 2,225 square metres of useable space in Ab-erdeen Square. The total square is 54 me-tres wide, 25 of which actually forms the square itself. There are two, seven-metre wide swaths of road running along each side of the square, as well as a sidewalk.

While they have the number of stalls right, Terauds said, he wasn’t sure about the space allotted for each stall.

“I just don’t know how you do it,” he said, referring to how 150 vendors, with their carts and trucks, were supposed to fi t into the square in the current design.

City planner John Smit said the propos-al presented on Oct. 14 fi ts with council’s direction. In June, council approved a re-quirement to have a “multi-purpose” farm-ers’ square with 150 three-by-six stalls, Smit said.

“From my understanding in terms of the work that’s been ongoing to fi rm up the size

Trees and vegetation surrounding newly paved section of the Capital Pathway in Belltown will be renaturalized, with a buffer area around the path for cyclist safety.

Residents have long been known to clear brush and trees from along the Capital Path-way to increase views of the Ottawa River – a practice the NCC wants to see stopped.

NCC wants to re-grow trees along its pathSigns will discourage people from cutting for better views

LAURA MUELLER

[email protected]

The rehabilitation of a forest-ed area in Belltown will serve as a model for how the National Capital Commission (NCC) will address trees being cut down on its land.

But despite those efforts, resi-dents in the area say trees and shrubs will likely continue to be cut down because people want better views of the Ottawa Riv-er.

The NCC is planning to plant more trees and protect exist-ing vegetation along the river north of Carling, between An-drew Haydon Park and Britan-nia Park. A bike and pedestrian path were re-paved this fall and benches and other features were added, and now the NCC is look-ing at how to improve the envi-ronmental aspect of the area.

Deforestation is a particular concern in the area because the river’s edge gets a lot of impact from water rushing around a turn in the river, said Julie Mulligan, the NCC landscape architect who is managing the project.

The NCC will put up educa-tional signs advising people that the pathway is a rehabilitation

area and no cutting is allowed; however, if trees continue to be cut down, the NCC will erect a 1.8-metre (six-foot) high chain link fence to protect the trees.

It’s an approach the NCC will likely use as a model for other locations with similar concerns, Mulligan said.

“This will help us address this in other areas where it hap-pens,” Mulligan said.

But some residents in the neighbourhood say signs will do little to stop the cutting.

“They want the view of the river – that’s why they moved here,” said Lance Pelletier, who is familiar with the area because his grandparents have lived on Scrivens Street for more than 50 years. “I think you’re still going to see cutting,” he said.

Daniel Aarons, who lives on nearby Boyce Avenue, said he doesn’t want to see any more trees cut down. But he added that he thinks the area is already pretty forested and wondered if it was necessary to plant more trees.

“It’s pretty natural right now,” he said.

Trees, shrubs and other veg-etation are vital to prevent soil erosion and ensure that the wa-terfront area acts as a buffer be-

tween the river ecosystem and the urban area.

“Its importance is not that it is highly ecologically signifi -cant, but it acts as a fi lter,” for pollutants and stormwater, Mul-ligan said.

Many of the homes in Bell-town would have been built when the area was cleared of all brush and served as a beach from around 1910 to 1970, Mul-ligan said. She said the area is probably more forested now than it has been for 100 years, because of a recent realization about the importance of vegeta-tion in “riparian” or waterfront areas.

“We are starting to see regen-eration, and we need that more than ever because of increasing urbanization,” Mulligan said.

There are three areas where the views will be maintained, Mulligan said. Three stormwa-ter drainage areas restrict tree growth, creating natural clear-ings to the river.

“We agree – that is an oppor-tunity for a clear view,” Mulli-gan said.

Residents in the area led the charge to stop cutting when they commissioned a study in 2002 and ’03. The results of that re-port, called the Belltown Trees

and Vistas Community Study, formed the basis for the NCC’s rehabilitation plan.

Cutting of trees was one of the issues that came up when the NCC held an open house at the Nepean Sailing Club on Oct. 26 to get public feedback on the plan.

Low-hanging tree branches would be trimmed back to pre-vent them from injuring cyclists and pedestrians. Branches low-er than three metres high from the path would be cut back. One metre on each side of the path would also be cleared.

Planting could begin next year, as both the City of Ottawa and the Rideau Valley Conser-vation Authority have commit-ted funds to purchase plants and trees, Mulligan said.

CAPITAL PATHWAY REHABILITATION

A number of other pathways are being built as part of the NCC’s Capital Pathway rehabil-itation program, which will im-prove and expand paths in the 170-kilometre path network.

A new 1.4-km section of the Greenbelt Pathway has been completed between Hunt Club Road and the Bruce Pit area.

The fi rst phase of a 7.7-km section of the same path is just fi nishing construction between Russell Road and Davidson Road near Bank Street and Albi-on Road. It will be completed by the end of November, Mulligan said, and the second phase is slated to be done by the spring.

The NCC has asked the city to consider putting a pedestri-an crosswalk, complete with a light, to allow people to safely get across the four lanes of Bank Street just north of the Capital Golf Centre.

While that new pathway doesn’t connect to existing paths at the moment, Mulligan said there are plans to link it to the Osgoode Link Pathway, a 22-km path owned by the City of Ottawa.

The Hog’s Back Park recre-ational pathway rehabilitation is completed and the pathway is useable for the public; however, construction around the pavil-ion parking area is still in prog-ress until the end of November, so people must detour at Hog’s Back Road to reach the locks.

The Vincent Massey Park recreational pathway is mostly completed along the river edge from Heron Road to the O-Train bridge.

Rob Campbell has no intention of slowing down when it comes to the next four years as school board trustee for the Ottawa-Car-leton District School Board.

His priority will remain the same: he is in it for the community.

Re-elected for Zone 9, Rideau-Vanier/Capital, Campbell is excited to continue as a board trustee.

“I believe that I have been extremely ef-fective in the past and I plan on continu-ing along this path,” Campbell said. “I have great relationships with the board, the staff and the community; however, I am not here to make friends. I am sent by the community and that is who I have to answer to.”

Campbell is used to the work that is al-ready piling up, only this time around, he feels the board itself needs to look in the mirror.

“The overall profi le of the board has to change,” Campbell said. “More meaningful dialogue and a richer kind of dialogue need to be present.”

Of the issues that strike Campbell as top priority, trackling mental health and stress levels in students remains on top of that list. Campbell feels if this sort of tracking

existed, there would be a better understand-ing of a student’s needs.

He also wants to be able to give his constituents answers when it comes to other concerns for the area. A concern

Campbell wishes to address is the impact of French immersion on the English board.

“I am quite concerned about the ghet-toization of the English program. There is no report or direction at the moment and I intend to get the board to examine this is-sue,” Campbell said.

Traffi c safety continues to concern par-ents in the area, Campbell continued.

“I receive more calls about traffi c than any other issue,” he said, adding that bus-es and crossing guards are just some of the elements that could be changed to ad-dress the problem. This is one concern he intends to solve, even if he has to take it beyond the school board.

“I intend on taking this issue all the way to city council if I have to,” Campbell said.

A self-proclaimed argument-driven man, Campbell believes he has the energy and the drive to address all these issues and more in the upcoming years.

“My role is that the community voice is strongly heard,” he said.

Also re-elected in the area was Bron-wyn Funiciello for Zone 6, which covers Rideau-Rockcliffe and Alta Vista. Jennifer McKenzie, trustee for Zone 10, Somerset/Kitchissipi, is also returning.

Meanwhile, Kathy Ablett was re-elected to the Ottawa Catholic School Board.

Re-elected trustees are community driven

War veterans who wear their medals and/or uniforms can ride OC Transpo and STO free during National Veterans’ Week – Nov. 5 to 11.

Companions accompanying veterans will also be able to ride for free.

OC Transpo and STO are also planning other activities and ser-vice changes to commemorate Remembrance Day on Thursday, Nov. 11.

OC Transpo buses will pull over to the side of the road (where it is safe to do so) to ob-serve two minutes of silence at 11 a.m. “The Last Post” and “Reveille” will be played over the radios of OC Transpo buses. OC Transpo operators may also wear red on Nov. 11 in support of our troops.

OC Transpo will run a regular weekday schedule. Sales and in-formation centres will be closed with the exception of the Rideau Centre. Call 613-741-4390 or visit www.octranspo.com for infor-mation.

A one-of-a-kind health screening pro-gram for refugees is back on its feet after receiving $50,000 in funding.

The program, which brings a nurse practitioner to Reception House (also know as Maison Thérèse Dallaire), has operated since 2008 and serves about 600 government-funded refugees who settle across the city.

The program received $77,500 from the Champlain Local Health Integration Net-work when it started two years ago.

Since then, it has received about $45,000 more from the LHIN., but funding ran out in March, said Jack McCarthy, executive director of the Somerset West Commu-nity Health Centre.

“We were in the 11th hour,” McCarthy said. “It could have all gone down the tubes.”

The health centre partners with the Catholic Immigration Centre (CIC) to run the health screening program, which Mc-Carthy said is essential for the high-risk

population it serves.The CIC had been fi nding money to

keep the program going since last spring, McCarthy said.

“It’s an important piece to get them ready and starting to adapt,” he said.

The nurse practitioner, assisted by clerical helpers, provides immunizations, OHIP cards and basic health screening to refugees.

These refugees are people who may have suffered severe persecution, includ-ing torture, imprisonment, forced labour and forced relocation in their homeland.

They are considered to be more at risk than the general refugee population.

McCarthy said last week’s funding an-nouncement bodes well for a potential expansion of the program to include all newcomers – something McCarthy said he hopes could happen as early as the spring.

He said he is optimistic that the LHIN could play a role in that expansion by pro-viding ongoing funding, instead of the one-time grants it has been receiving to this point.

In 1992, I moved in with my Polish grandpar-ents; Babcia (grandma) and Dziadzio (grand-pa). Before long, I noticed my grandmother’s call-

ing as a person who communicated, rather frequently, with Ottawa’s hospital establish-ment. One day, I found a fi le folder that belonged to

Babcia. It was literally bursting at the seams, fi lled with two dozen letters to hospital CEOs around the city. “Wait times are too long,” she wrote. Why

are emergency departments so busy? Why don’t I have easier access to my patient re-cords? Can you do more to manage the pain I’ve had since my hip replacement? Are those child-like people in white lab coats really doc-tors? Now, in my role as Vice-President, Communi-

cations and Outreach at The Ottawa Hospital, I often think of Babcia. Wait times, high occupancy, patient records,

pain management, quality and safety of care; the issues she worried about then are still completely relevant today. How would she feel about that? She would hate that we still deal with the

same problems, but she’d appreciate our progress. She would love writing to one hospital CEO,

instead of three, since the merger of the Gen-eral, Civic and Riverside hospitals into The Ot-tawa Hospital. She would be impressed to know The Ot-

tawa Hospital serves 1.2 million Eastern On-tarians, and sees more patients in a year than any other academic health science centre in Canada. She would remind me that hospitals, im-

perfect or not, were always there for her and Dziadzio. Fractures were painful, but surger-ies allowed my grandparents to walk well into their nineties. She would want to know what hospitals do,

in spite of their challenges, to ensure they still provide the comfort, care and hope our com-munities need to keep thriving. This column is for Babcia, and anyone else

who cares about their healthcare. Nicolas Ruszkowski is VP, Communications

and Outreach at The Ottawa Hospital. Each week, he will share behind-the-scenes insight from the hospital. E-mail him at [email protected]

Despite the reservations of councillors and residents, city council will legally be able to vote on proposals for Lansd-owne Park and the South March Highlands during its “lame-duck” period, says the city’s so-licitor.

Rick O’Connor, the clerk and lawyer for the City of Ottawa, sent a memo to city council ad-vising that provincial restric-tions on lame-duck councils would not apply to the Lansd-owne vote.

Council is in lame-duck status until the new council is sworn in on Dec. 1, because less than two thirds of the current coun-cil members will be returning. That means the council’s power is restricted under the Ontario Municipal Act; in particular, council cannot approve any spending over $50,000 that was not already pre-approved before the election nomination day (Sept. 10).

Council votes on the fi rst stage of the Lansdowne site plan, as well Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson’s motion to swap land to save part of the South March Highlands from development, are set for Nov. 19 and 24.

“We can still deal with some of it,” Wilkinson said.

Council can vote on 12 acres

of land that can be swapped at no cost, Wilkinson said. The developer, Urbandale, already agreed to that, she indicated.

She said she is working with city staff and the developers to ensure the portions of the mat-ter that this council can vote on are taken care of, while giving a strong recommendation to the next council to purchase or swap the rest of the 29 hectares she proposed.

Capital Ward Coun. Clive Doucet said he doesn’t think it matters whether the current council or next council votes on the Lansdowne plan, because the incoming council appears to be “much more developer friendly,” he said.

He said he doesn’t agree with O’Connor that council can vote on the issue, because the site plan is just one portion of a project that will cost the city a substantial amount of money.

“You don’t green-light a proj-ect like that in one vote,” he said. “You can’t separate them.”

He noted that the next council

appears to be fi scally conserva-tive, so Doucet said he doesn’t see why the new councillors would want to take on the debt associated with the Lansdowne project as proposed.

John Martin, who started the Lansdowne Park Conservancy to put forward an alternate pro-posal for Lansdowne, sent a let-ter to O’Connor stating that the

vote should be held for the new council because council only ap-proved continuing negotiations with the Ottawa Sports and En-tertainment Group (OSEG), but not the actual amount of the project.

In a previous memo to coun-cil dated Oct. 26, O’Connor told councillors that transferring previously approved funds be-tween projects would not be restricted. Much of the city’s corporate activity can contin-ue during this period, because council has delegated author-ity to city staff through the ap-proved budget.

O’Connor told councillors that “legal and operational staff will continue their due diligence in reviewing this matter as the re-port in question (Lansdowne) is fi nalized, as well as with regard to any other reports that may be considered by council prior to the end of this term.”

O’Connor declined a request for fi les city staff were review-ing in light of the lame-duck status of council.

Once it was clear that Jim Watson was going to the next mayor of Ottawa, a somewhat distracted television commen-

tator tried to sum things up: “Jim Watson is someone who can stickhandle the city over some turbulent waters,” he said.

A word to the wise: Keep Jim at city hall and away from canoes.

This is not to say that there wasn’t someone in the mayoralty race with expertise in paddling with a hockey stick. With 20 candidates in the race, it is entirely possible. The problem is, how could any of us voters have known?

On election day, the sight of those 20 names on the ballot was a shock, accom-panied by a momentary fear of being able to fi nd your favourite’s name. And it brought to mind an ancient gem of local political wisdom — that candidates with names beginning earlier in the alphabet have an advantage.

There are clearly some fl aws in the theory — for example, the fact that a candidate beginning with W won this time; and in the previous election, the candidate beginning with O beat the candidates beginning with C and M.

Still, you can see how a less than perfectly informed voter might take the easy way out when faced with 20 choices

and looking for someone who can stick-handle over troubled waters.

Now, we would not even be considering such options if the voters were well-in-formed about those 20 candidates. But even with all our sophisticated means of communication that does not seem possi-ble. Those responsible for news coverage and candidate debates, our main sources of candidate information, narrowed their focus to four mayoralty candidates, leav-ing the other 16 to fend for themselves.

This is understandable. You’ve prob-ably been to all-candidates meeting where, before you get to hear the can-didates you’re interested in, you have to endure what feels like hours of the ravings of nuisance candidates, going on about substances in the water, magnetic orbiting public transit systems and the need for cat licences. But here’s the

thing: not all little-known candidates are nuisance candidates; many of them have interesting things to say. Some have spe-cifi c issues that are worth considering. Others are gaining valuable campaign experience that will make them serious candidates the next time.

The people will never know any of that unless these candidates are heard. The challenge is how to make sure that serious, though little-known, candidates get a fair hearing while at the same time discouraging nuisance candidates.

Various methods have been tried, the silliest one being to raise the deposit fee for candidates. The logic behind this – that candidates willing to ante up a substantial amount a money are some-how more sincere and responsible than those who are not – is clearly undemo-cratic, not to mention faulty. You have only to look at the number of loony rich people in politics, in both Canada and the U.S., to get the point.

It may be that those who are truly driven and those who are truly com-pelled to draw attention to themselves will never be dissuaded from seeking offi ce. Our concern should be with the others – so-called “unknown” candidates who have things to say.

New media provide some of the solu-

tion. Those seeking to know anything at all about the elections for school board could fi nd information on the websites of the candidates, which was a good thing considering how little attention the elections received in the mainstream media. But let’s not forget that there are many people – 15 per cent of us, accord-ing to Statistics Canada – who don’t have access to the internet from home. Furthermore, some of the much-touted forms of social media such as Facebook and Twitter, are used by a much smaller percentage of the population than you might think.

Here, as in so many other parts of our existence, technology won’t save us. We are up the creek without a hockey stick.

COLUMN

Steering the boat with a hockey stick

The winds of change are blowing in city hall’s direction – 10 new councillors and a new mayor will enter council cham-bers come Dec. 1.

But until then, we’re going to hear a lot of quacking.

Not the usual politicking or the sort of lamenting that came from councillors and candi-dates during the election pe-riod. No, the quacking we have now is the sound of a lame-duck council on its last legs.

The current council is riding out the last wave of its term, but that wave hasn’t crested yet. Unlike municipalities that take things slowly during the post-election period (lame duck or not), Ottawa will be forg-ing ahead with a number of signifi cant votes.

While there is no legal requirement to push ahead

with votes or delay them until the new term begins, there are different schools of thought on the matter.

In St. Catharines, for ex-ample, the city clerk told media that staff is reducing council’s workload to save some conten-tious votes for the new council to “put their stamp on,” even though it is not a lame-duck council.

Of particular interest back in Ottawa, the fi rst site plan for Lansdowne will come before council this month, and because there is no dollar fi gure attached, it’s up for this council to give it one more kick at the can.

Council can’t vote on things that will cost the city more than $50,000, but that won’t stop it from tackling rezoning Les Soeurs de la Visitation con-

vent in Westboro, and a portion of a land exchange deal for the South March Highlands pro-posed by Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson. Both of those issues are expected to be on the agenda.

While it is comforting that our current council isn’t throwing in the towel and intends to get something done before it leaves, councillors should consider the way voters have spoken.

Electors gave council a resounding new mandate, and whether or not we see much change in position with the councillors-elect, the point is that voters wanted something new. The voters have put their faith in a new slate, and that’s something council should be aware of as it wades into votes this month.

Kanata Kourier founder and former mayoral contender Alex Munter has been named the CEO of the body that oversees health-care funding for most of eastern Ontario.

Munter will offi cially begin his duties as chief executive offi cer of the Champ-lain Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) on Jan. 24, 2011.

He will succeed the current CEO, Dr. Robert Cushman.

Munter’s most recent role was as the executive director of the Youth Servic-es Bureau, a children’s mental health

agency in Ottawa with 20 locations in Ot-tawa.

Munter, 42, served as a city and region-al councillor for Kanata from 1991 until 2003.

He was defeated by Mayor Larry O’Brien in the 2006 municipal election.

Munter has served on the Ottawa-Car-leton District Health Council (1994-97), as co-chair of the Regional Task Force on Health Care (1998-99.

He has also been a member of the Ontario Public Health Capacity Review Committee and chair of its governance

panel (2005-06).The Champlain LHIN has an annual

budget of $2.25 billion to fund 11 agen-cies across the region.

LHINs oversee nearly two-thirds of Ontario’s health-care budget by plan-ning, integrating and funding services for hospitals, community health cen-tres, long-term care facilities and mental health and addiction services.

They do not directly provide the ser-vices. But, they are intended to provide a community-wide focus for how health-care funds are allocated.

Deborah Margo, local artist and winner of the Ottawa South Community Centre public art competition, will create hang-ing artwork that will enhance the archi-tectural character of the old fi rehall and highlight its new features.

The winning artwork, a free-standing, contemporary relief consisting of 10 punctured and embossed copper panels, will be mounted on a tension cable sys-tem in the vestibule of the fi rehall.

It will be positioned so it can be viewed from the outside as well as the inside of the building.

The permanent installation will func-tion as a light enhancer, emphasized by the embossed and punctured imagery.

All of the imagery for the copper pan-els will be created in consultation with the Ottawa South community.

Margo will invite residents to contrib-ute ideas based on their green spaces or

favourite recreational spaces in Old Ot-tawa South.

The Public Art Program commissions artists’ works for display in public spac-es.

One per cent of funds for municipal development projects is set aside for pub-lic art in order to enhance the unique character of the space, giving it a sense of identity while ensuring that art is ac-cessible to everyone.

The City’s Community Art Program initiated a two-stage competition to inte-grate art into the Ottawa South Commu-

nity Centre. The surrounding community was giv-

en a preview of the submissions from four fi nalists and was asked to record their comments about the proposals.

The art selection committee took these comments into consideration prior to the selection of the winning artist’s pro-posal.

According to the city, the project’s se-lection criteria included such elements as artistic excellence, experience of the artist, site integration, community en-gagement and sustainability.

Racing at a home Olympics is an experience that will never again be duplicated for Ottawa’s Ryan Semple, but despite the enormous funding challenges he’s fac-ing for this post-Olympic season, the 27-year-old alpine skier remains “as motivated as ever” to reach towards another Winter Games.

“It was like nothing I’ve ever really experienced,” recalls Semple, who grew up in the Glebe and attended Lycée Claudel and Ashbury high schools. “There were so many emotions, and so much attention in Canada, which we never get. There’s an aura about the Olympics that’s hard to explain, you just kind of have to be there and feel it.”

Semple was the top Canadian in the super combined (slalom and downhill) event, placing 15th overall in Whistler. But with no medals to show, Alpine Canada took a funding hit this season, and Semple is now feel-ing the pain as well with a bill of around $80,000 to train with the Canadian team and compete on the FIS World Cup circuit.

Despite producing one of Canada’s better results at the Olympics, because Semple didn’t fi nish the season ranked in the world’s top-15 (he currently sits 25th in the super combined), he wasn’t granted offi cial national team member status this year.

“It’s just a title,” shrugs Semple, who also had to come

up with around $30,000 on his own the previous two sea-sons. “For me, I know it’s just sort of a political issue. I still have the respect of the coaches and the other ath-letes, so that’s what’s important.”

Semple will carry the same training and competition schedule as the rest of the national team this season, but it’s the fi nancial side that’s different – especially this year since he and fellow 2010 Olympian Patrick Biggs of Ottawa have to pay for their own ski wax technician.

One goal Semple has set for himself this year is to crack that top-15 ranking, which would translate into fully funded national team member status for next sea-son.

“I still haven’t done my best skiing,” says Semple, who’s dealt with numerous injuries the past few years. “It was really tough because I was never able to be in the shape I wanted to be. I could ski well, but to be one of the top guys, you need to be very consistent and I wasn’t able to do that.

“Just making the Olympics was a goal in terms of where I was at the time, but now I’m looking forward to trying to get on the podium and win some races.”

Semple is excited to get racing for the fi rst World Cup in Levi, Finland on Nov. 14, and he also feels thankful that the Ottawa ski community came out in such force for a fundraising dinner last week at the rebuilt Tommy & Lefebvre store on Bank Street.

“I don’t think we’ll have covered the full amount, but in terms of what we were hoping, we must be near the cusp,” notes Semple, who put together the evening along with Biggs. “

I was a bit stressed before the event, but now that it’s over and it was well done, it’s a lot of weight lifted off my shoulders.”

Semple is still on the lookout for further sponsors to raise the full amount he needs – contact [email protected] for more information.

In 1992, I moved in with my Polish grand-parents; Babcia (grandma) and Dziadzio (grandpa). Before long, I noticed my grandmother’s calling as a person who communicated, rather frequently, with Ottawa’s hospital establish-ment. One day, I found a fi le folder that belonged to Babcia. It was literally bursting at the seams, fi lled with two dozen letters to hospital CEOs around the city. “Wait times are too long,” she wrote. Why are emergency departments so busy? Why don’t I have easier access to my patient re-cords? Can you do more to manage the pain I’ve had since my hip replacement? Are those child-like people in white lab coats really doc-tors? Now, in my role as Vice-President, Commu-nications and Outreach at The Ottawa Hospi-tal, I often think of Babcia. Wait times, high occupancy, patient re-cords, pain management, quality and safety of care; the issues she worried about then are

still completely relevant today. How would she feel about that? She would hate that we still deal with the same problems, but she’d appreciate our progress. She would love writing to one hospital CEO, instead of three, since the merger of the General, Civic and Riverside hospitals into The Ottawa Hospital. She would be impressed to know The Ot-tawa Hospital serves 1.2 million Eastern On-tarians, and sees more patients in a year than any other academic health science centre in Canada. She would remind me that hospitals, im-perfect or not, were always there for her and Dziadzio. Fractures were painful, but surger-ies allowed my grandparents to walk well into their nineties. She would want to know what hospitals do, in spite of their challenges, to ensure they still provide the comfort, care and hope our communities need to keep thriving. This column is for Babcia, and anyone else who cares about their healthcare. Nicolas Ruszkowski is VP, Communications and Outreach at The Ottawa Hospital. Each week, he will share behind-the-scenes insight from the hospital. E-mail him at [email protected]

of that space, I understand it can accommodate the direction of council with respect to the number of stalls,” Smit said.

Smit added that some of the space allocated as “road” in the plan could be used for the farm-ers’ market because the street will not be separated by a curb. The market could spill out to the east and west of the square if needed to accommodate the 150 stalls, Smit said.

RE-FOCUSING THE SQUARE

But the farmers’ market won’t be the only event happening at Aberdeen Square – designers presented a myriad of uses for the space, which is designed to be fl exible and allow a “diverse array of programming oppor-tunities” throughout the year. Suggested options include: tail-gate parties, outdoor cinema and a livestock show.

“If they (the farmers’ mar-ket) can locate there seven days a week, 365 days a year, that would be great, but we’re not sure that’s achievable in the im-mediate short term, and maybe even not achieveable in the long term.” Smit said. “If we could, it would be fantastic.” Currently, the market runs on Thursdays and Sundays, seasonally.

Landscape architects describe it as a “formal, paved plaza” laid out in front of the north façade of Aberdeen Pavilion, surround-ed by the relocated Horticultur-al Building on the opposite side. It forms part of the “buffer” be-tween the urban park at the ca-nal side of Lansdowne, and the retail and residential mixed-use area along Holmwood Avenue and Bank Street.

Terauds was also frustrated at the apparent name change for the site, which he said the city had agreed to call “Market Square.” Now, all the plans indi-cate it as “Aberdeen Square.”

On top of that, there are plans for a large food retailer at Lansd-owne off Bank Street, which Te-rauds said will take some of the focus away from the local produc-ers who offer their wares at the market – especially if the market is not operating every day.

DISCUSSIONS CONTINUE

Part of the diffi culty is that the farmers’ market has not yet had an opportunity to discuss plans for the square with the landscape architects in charge of designing it: Philips Fare-vaag Smallenberg Landscape Architects. The Vancouver-based fi rm won a competition to design the urban park portion of Lansdowne, which initially did not include the square.

Terauds said representatives

from the market had been con-sulting with city staff and the Ottawa Sports and Entertain-ment Group (OSEG), which pitched the park’s redesign to the city and is taking the lead on the retail and mixed-use portion of the plan.

Moving forward, Terauds said he would be meeting with city offi cials on Nov. 1. He said work-ing with a new design team is “just a matter of bringing them up to speed” on discussions.

Smit said that once coun-cil approves the fi rst stage of the site plan (which will be on council’s agenda this month), the “big picture” will be set and staff and designers will fi ll in the fi ner details.

With a new slate of city coun-cillors set to take offi ce on Dec. 1, Terauds hopes the new council upholds the original plan.

“I’d like to see the new council hold up the previous decision that was made about the space,” he said. “In a sense, it’s a whole

new ballgame. City council has changed signifi cantly.”

ROOM TO GROW

Securing permanent space at Lansdowne is key to making the farmers’ market viable in the future, Terauds said.

“It’s a matter of confi dence,” he said.

Farmers need to have com-plete assurance that the city is committed to providing the in-frastructure to support the mar-ket, Terauds said. Otherwise, lo-cal producers won’t have much encouragement to invest the signifi cant amounts of money needed to get their operations off the ground.

“Vendors absolutely require knowing the long-term pic-ture,” Terauds said. “They want to know that they have a reli-able place to sell it, and until they know that, they are going to hold off.”

Ottawa has the highest per-

centage of agricultural land in-side the city’s borders, Terauds said, but much of it is being used for large-scale, “extensive” farming. Expanding market op-portunities at Lansdowne (and eventually across the city) would encourage producers to reclaim some of that land for smaller-scale intensive farming.

He sees opportunities for the farmers’ market’s expansion

into other areas of the city with smaller, satellite operations, but Lansdowne is the hub that will make it happen.

The market started in 2006 with 19 vendors on the fi rst day, and ended the summer with twice that number. Now, 140 vendors sell their wares at the Lansdowne market, and last year, more than 215,000 people visited the market.

Everyone at last week’s national capital cross-country running cham-pionships was talking about the new phenom, and Yves Sikubwabo lived up to all the hype.

He blew away last year’s OFSAA sil-ver medallist and the rest of the fi eld by over a minute-and-half to win the senior boys’ event at the Hornets Nest in Blackburn Hamlet.

“I’m very happy,” Sikubwabo said. “I’m happy because I won, and I’m happy because of all the people shak-

ing my hand, and calling my name.”The 17-year-old spent plenty of time

after his race signing autographs and posing for photos as the crowd gave him the full star treatment.

“It elevates my joy,” Sikubwabo said of the attention he’s been receiving. “They really lift me. It’s amazing.”

Sikubwabo led the seven-kilometre race from the start, and was all smiles as he proudly displayed the Glebe Col-legiate Institute logo on his singlet when he crossed the fi nish line in a time of 23 minutes, 14.96 seconds.

It was a superb day for all the Gry-phons senior boys, as Sikubwabo, Philip Marshall, David Borish, James Freda and Andres Carranco combined to easily win the team competition by 18 points over Merivale.

Sikubwabo, a Rwanda native who competed at the 2010 world junior track-and-fi eld championships in Moncton, N.B., only began school a week-and-half ago after taking a bus to Ottawa and becoming a refugee this past summer.

The ESL student (whose second lan-guage is French after Kinyarwandan) attended practices before and after school each day to meet the required 13 to compete.

Sikubwabo said he found it “tough” dealing with the hills and muddy ar-eas of the course, and he’s not ready to make any predictions for next week’s OFSAA provincial championships even if just about everyone is picking him to win.

“I’ve been practicing and training, but I have no idea what lies next,” Sikubwabo said, emphasizing many people have also helped him along an-other unknown path – adapting to a new life in Canada.

“There are a lot of people who con-

tinue to support me. I want to say thank you to all of them, and all the spectators here in Ottawa – I really like them, and I hope they like me.”

SURPRISE WIN FOR JUNIOR GIRLS’ CHAMP

Sikubwabo recorded the largest margin of victory of the six city fi nal races by a longshot, although it was Glebe teammate Charlene Rhead who pulled off the biggest upset of the day, winning the junior girls’ competition.

“I’m kind of surprised,” said Rhead, who had never beaten silver medallist Lindsay Kary of St. Matthew or third-place fi nisher Samantha Klus from Bell. “I’m normally third when I race against those two. It feels great.”

Glebe coach Kirk Dillabaugh credit-ed Rhead for running a “really smart” race by distancing herself from Klus, a powerful sprinter, near the Green’s Creek toboggan hill and then tracking down Kary, who started out a little too hard for the windy conditions.

Dillabaugh shared high-fi ves with all the Glebe junior girls – Rhead, Al-exa Derksen, Annabelle Harvey, Em-ily Copeland-Dinan and Rowan Har-ris – who booked their trip to OFSAA with a fi rst-place fi nish in the team competition.

A pair of Brookfi eld runners will also attend OFSAA – junior boys’ fi fth-place fi nisher Connor O’Neill-Dee and midget girls’ champion Olivia Robert-son.

The Hillcrest midget girls (bronze medallist Kelsey Grimes, Augusta Eve, Lauren Hamilton, Kate Sutin and Jane Dewing) will join in on the OF-SAA fun as well thanks to their sec-ond-place team performance.

Glebe captured the boys’, girls’ and overall aggregate titles ahead of Ne-pean and Colonel By with 32 points.

The OFSAA provincial champion-ships will take place Saturday, Nov. 6 in Etobicoke.

The OFSAA cross-country running championships will be coming to the nation’s capital this time next year, but where exactly the competition will be staged remains up in the air.

Two locations are the front-runners – Walter Baker Park in Kanata and the Hornets Nest in Blackburn Hamlet.

“Both courses have their drawbacks, and both courses have something to of-fer,” explains Glebe cross-country coach Kirk Dillabaugh, noting opinion is di-vided amongst the OFSAA organizing committee members. “Personally, I’d like to see it out in Kanata. It’s something dif-ferent.”

Dillabaugh lists the wide-open Walter Baker layout as a big advantage for spec-tators, it’s easy logistically to set up the course as well as sponsor/registration tents, and there are indoor washroom facilities next door at the Kanata recre-ation centre.

“Some of the concerns out there is that it’s kind of boring,” Dillabaugh adds. “It’s not as exciting as it could be since you’re running around soccer fi elds for the most part. We do have that little stretch through the woods, and the hill, but it’s pretty fl at for the most part.

“That’s what the Hornets Nest has to offer – it’s defi nitely hilly terrain and there’s a lot of trail running.”

But the Hornets Nest also has its prob-lems – two-way traffi c during a few seg-ments in the woods can cause confusion, and with the spread-out course, it’s quite diffi cult for spectators to follow the ac-tion.

“Especially for the midget girls’ and ju-nior girls’ race, you see them run around the soccer fi elds and then they disappear until the race is over,” Dillabaugh notes.

Another major concern is that the fi rst portion of the trail through the woods near Green’s Creek is now paved, which wasn’t the case when OFSAA was held at the Hornets Nest nearly a decade ago.

“OFSAA’s the fi rst week of November,” Dillabaugh cautions. “If we get any snow, ice or freezing rain – even without it, those downhills are pretty treacherous with the pavement.”

The athletes who wear cross-country running spikes especially hate pounding down on pavement, although Natalie Côté sees a solution – it would require lots of them, but the Colonel By coach suggests they put down padded mats to cover the paved section.

“(The Hornets Nest) is not the best course, but the other one is a fi eld where

you zigzag the whole time,” Côté says. “I think cross-country should be kind of muddy and tough. They keep saying the (Kanata) course for the spectators, but cross-country’s about the kids.”

Dillabaugh would actually prefer to host the high school provincials at Mooney’s Bay, although that’s not an option because there isn’t an area that could accommodate the required 65-me-tre wide start line. Côté, meanwhile, would like organizers to look into hold-ing the race around Pineview Municipal Golf Course.

The organizing committee will meet at the conclusion of this fall’s cross-country season to choose the future OFSAA loca-tion.

“Some people will be unhappy either way, but at the same time, we’re eager to put on the best OFSAA we can,” Dilla-baugh emphasizes. “No matter which site gets chosen, I’m sure everybody will jump on board.”

Sports

OFSAA cross country location up for debate

Photo by Dan PlouffeIt would be diffi cult to fi nd a cross-coun-try athlete who enjoys the paved portion of path just inside the woods near Green’s Creek. It’s one drawback of the Hornets Nest course, which hosted OFSAA almost a decade ago, before the pavement was laid.

With all the ghosts and goblins tucked away for another year, Canada Post is set-ting its sights on the holiday season.

On Monday, Nov. 1 Canada Post issued four new Christmas stamps, ending this year’s stamp program with a mix of mod-ern-day tradition and religious spirit of Christmas.

The Christmas ornaments series typi-fi es modern-day tradition, depicting colourful glass-blown bauble images created by Canadian designer Michael Zavachy and is available in domestic, U.S. and international rates.

The Madonna and Child stamp ac-knowledges the religious signifi cance of the holiday.

It features a spectacular representation of this sacred scene depicting an image of a sculpture created by Antonio Caruso.

Canada Post issued the very fi rst Christ-mas stamp in the world over 100 years ago on Dec. 7, 1898.

The only indication it was a Christmas stamp was the worlds XMAS 1898 written across the bottom of the stamp.

Canada Post started issuing annual holiday-themed stamps in 1964.

“This year’s Christmas stamps repre-sent the fi nale of a banner year for Cana-da Post’s stamp program,” stamp services director Jim Phillips said in a statement. “Many of our stamps have sold out.”

He added that many stamps show pic-tures that are signifi cant to Canada.

“As well, they have created a histori-cal mosaic of our country in 2010: the Olympics, the girl guides 100th anniver-sary, our Navy’s 100th, and the Roadside attraction series, just to name a few,” he continued.

“We’re excited about what 2011 will of-fer with the celebration of baby wildlife, Canadian recording artists and Canadian innovations among others.”

The Collection Canada 2010 album, also released on Monday, features all of the defi nitive and commemorative stamps is-sued in 2010, each with their own inside story.

This year’s edition highlights the 2010 Winter Olympics and the gold medal stamp in honour of one of Canada’s proudest moments in history -the fi rst gold medal ever won by a Canadian at an Olympic Games held on Canadian soil.

There’s a new group in Ottawa that’s been tearing up the regional racing cir-cuit, and now they’d like to spread that success across the globe while making the nation’s capital the prime destina-tion for high-performance distance run-ners in Canada.

“Ottawa’s defi nitely had some elite runners, but as far as I know, they’ve never consolidated into a group,” says head coach Ian Clark, a long-time Ot-tawa Lions coach who now leads a dozen athletes with a combined nine national titles. “This is sort of our growing period and I think we’ll only get better.”

Only a few months old, the Ottawa Elite Running Team was born from an idea by Hillcrest High School grad Mike Woods, now the team’s director.

Ready to tackle the comeback trail once again after his second surgery on the navicular bone he’s fractured three times, the 23-year-old former Pan Ameri-can junior champion felt a pull to remain in Ottawa, where he enjoyed his best suc-cess as a teenager.

“I really do like Ottawa,” the Univer-sity of Michigan grad explains. “I have a great group of friends here, and the best running I’ve ever had was under Ian.”

The problem Woods faced was that he didn’t have many other top runners to

train with locally. So he contacted a few old friends who also recently complet-ed university in the States as well as a few others who will join them after the NCAA season.

Woods then explained his vision of an elite group that could train together and recruit sponsorship to several other top athletes in the Ottawa running commu-nity, and off they went.

“Our goal is to perform well at interna-tional events and get people to go to the Olympics,” Woods notes, adding they’ll also place an emphasis on competing in local events. “We do realize for people to be interested in the sport in Ottawa, we need to excel in Ottawa. It’s important to have a presence here.”

OERT made its offi cial debut at the Canada Army Run in September and was all over the podium. Maya Aden and 17-year-old sensation Yves Sikubwabo fi nished 1-2 in the 5 km race, while Liz Maguire and Daniele Riendeau were the second and third women to cross the fi n-ish line. Pat Marion also took gold in the half-marathon.

In mid-October, OERT won the men’s team competition at the Queen’s Univer-sity Invitational as they build towards the cross-country nationals at the end of November.

“It’s been cool seeing this project I en-visioned taking off,” says Woods, who’s thankful he no longer has to train alone.

“On those winter nights where you’re do-ing a long run and it’s freezing, you don’t have that sense of team. Now I have fun every single day in practice because of these guys.”

OERT will be holding a pub night fund-

raiser on Wednesday, Nov. 10 at the Heart & Crown on Preston Street. Tickets are $10, and there will be a silent auction and raffl e as well as the chance to meet and greet the elite runners. Visit oert.ca or con-tact [email protected] for more information.
